Chapter 140: Playing the scarcity marketing game?
"I'll go and make an application to the central government."
Without much hesitation, Weng Bingjun nodded and sent a message to the central government.
After all, this is a kind of thing.
It's better to believe it exists than to believe it doesn't.
Just like when Han Bei first approached them and told them these things.
At first, almost no one believed it because it all seemed so absurd.
But what about the facts?
Han Bei was absolutely right; he even gave them a private back garden that belonged exclusively to the building.
Since Su Yang dared to say such a thing, he must have some confidence in his heart.
Moreover, Su Yang was well aware that he had earned doctoral degrees in many fields.
Such a talented person, saying such things.
This is something that makes one think deeply.
Even if his guess is wrong, it's always better to be prepared than not to be at all.
"If you want to rest in the Jurassic World area for a while longer, you can go back."
Weng Bingjun spoke up.
However, Su Yang and his group simply shook their heads.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
Within the Great Xia territory, the previously booming situation of new energy vehicles has been over for quite some time.
Things have mostly calmed down.
However, it still had a significant impact on Tesla's stock price in the United States.
nowadays.
Many countries around the world choose new energy vehicles from companies like Intel, rather than Tesla.
After all, the basic figures and tariff prices are what they are.
It's also a new energy source, and even has more luxurious features, but it comes at a lower price.
Most people don't even need to think much to know which one to choose.
Beautiful Country.
White House.
With a command from Teppler.
The United States has increased trade tariffs on all EUV products and their chips exported to Great Britain from 30% to 90%.
and this.
This means that a chip that originally cost only 1,300 yuan now costs 1,900 yuan.
The tax price has increased from 300 to 900.
Furthermore, with the manipulation of large capital forces behind the United States, the price of chips continues to rise.
The price changes almost every few minutes.
In fact, due to the increase in chip prices, many suppliers have resorted to hoarding tactics, stockpiling large quantities of related products such as graphics cards and memory modules.
As a result, memory sticks that used to cost only 1000 yuan now cost four or five thousand yuan to snag, and there's no guarantee they'll even be in stock.
In an instant.
Those netizens within the Great Xia territory who were still waiting to upgrade their computers were completely bewildered.
No, it's a memory card.
He wants five thousand yuan?
I bought a 4060 before for just over five thousand.
You think a single memory stick is worth five thousand?
Many people who originally wanted to upgrade their RAM due to insufficient memory were deterred by the high price.
Even worse.
He simply removed the RAM from his computer and sold it.
After all, the price is so high, selling it directly would allow us to make some money.
On the internet of the Great Xia Kingdom.
The argument has completely erupted at this point.
"No, can someone tell me why a computer configuration that originally cost four or five thousand now costs over ten thousand?"
"The US is causing trouble again. Why don't they raise tariffs to 100%?"
"I'm dying of laughter. All the computer components are going up in price right now. (High-energy chapter 140: Playing the scarcity marketing game? Updated! Read now!) I just took my computer apart. Guess what? The computer I bought for six thousand, almost a year ago, I sold the pieces for nine thousand."
"Wow, bro upstairs. I have another one at home, but I don't need it anyway, so I might as well take it apart and sell it."
"Exactly, at such an expensive price. Only a fool would buy a configuration that's several years old."
Seeing prices soaring, many computer component suppliers have resorted to gambling mentality.
They stockpiled a lot of accessories, thinking of using scarcity marketing to fleece consumers again.
After all, the practice of "harvesting leeks" (exploiting women) has been successfully staged many times among women.
Lop Nur.
Han Bei was scrolling through his phone out of boredom when he saw the automatically pushed trending topic and was immediately stunned.
He sat up abruptly from the bed.
"Dr. Su, the Americans are up to something again. And right now, a lot of computer component suppliers in China are stockpiling parts, hoping to make a fortune."
"Yes, I know."
Su Yang responded to Han Bei's words with a faint reply.
Seeing that Su Yang didn't seem interested, Han Bei couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.
"You say no, but why do you seem completely unsurprised?"
Upon hearing Han Bei's words, Su Yang finally looked up and raised an eyebrow.
"What's so surprising? Don't Americans only use a few tricks they know how to play?"
"That's true."
Seeing Su Yang say this, Han Bei suddenly felt that it made sense.
"As for those suppliers who hoard parts at high prices, I can only say 'heh'."
Su Yang smiled dismissively.
For guys like us who can wait twenty years to buy even a Kinder Surprise egg, you can imagine how much they'd hoard RAM sticks, graphics cards, and other hardware.
Even if you hoard a lot, and there's a shortage in the market, how many guys would be willing to pay such a high price and become the sucker?
That's absolutely hilarious.
A guy might wait several years without changing his computer, but you should also stockpile your spare parts for several years without selling them.
Let's put it this way: apart from underwear, nothing else is a man's essential need.
There is only a little over a day left before the next crossing.
And within these few days.
The restoration of the lithography machine is almost complete.
The main problem is that only one part of the lithography machine that Han Bei and his team brought back was damaged, so the workload wasn't very heavy.
The only differences are in appearance and internal assembly structure.
The core components required are still roughly the same.
Following this research, researchers in the field of lithography machines have developed the corresponding components and assembled them according to the disassembly video recorded by Su Yang.
Meanwhile, the researchers, led by Wei Wanjin, kept their eyes fixed on the huge lithography machine standing in the laboratory.
At this moment, the lithography machine was already powered on and running continuously.
Wei Wanjin and the others stared intently at the lithography machine; the faint sound of the laser cutting was clearly audible in the laboratory.
Everyone held their breath, staring intently at the constantly operating machine.
Not long after.
A three-nanometer silicon wafer lies quietly on the experimental table of a lithography machine.
Under the light, it flickered with a faint glow.
"It's done!"
Upon seeing this, Wei Wanjin and the others couldn't help but shout and hug each other in joy.
Their Great Xia now has its own three-nanometer chips!
This means that they no longer need to consider the opinions of the US and other Western countries.
"Quickly! Report this matter to higher authorities immediately!"
Wei Wanjin said with a beaming smile.
After bringing back several damaged lithography machines from Suyang, they immediately began studying them upon first contact with them.
