As soon as the Shang Tang was released, it immediately became the focus of the world's attention. However, this focus didn't seem to be very positive. Instead, there were many voices of ridicule. They all thought that the Daqian Group was being whimsical and came up with such a funny thing.
It was said to be a car, but it could only seat two people. The fastest speed was only 100 km/h, and the range was only 120 km/h. Even the long-range version of the Shang Tang only had a range of 200 km/h.
At the same time, this car would need at least 12 hours to fully charge the battery. The Shang Tang Empire would need 18 hours.
When these things were put together, it was really ridiculous. Would anyone really buy such a car?
Well, although the Daqian Group also came up with something like a power station that could change power in three minutes, similar to a gas station, it might not be a problem to build one or two of these things. However, if they wanted to cover the world like a gas station, they would need at least millions of them. Even in Hua Xia itself, there would be at least 50,000 power stations. Who in the world had the ability to build so many power stations?
Therefore, this power station was just a gimmick created by the Daqian Group to cover up the charging time problem. The Daqian car was destined to be just a ridiculous joke.
These people who ridiculed the Daqian Group didn't think that a car that could shelter from the wind and rain was only sold for 20000 yuan. It had seats, a five-speed transmission, and even air conditioning. At the same time, it was small and exquisite and could flexibly shuttle through the alleys of Hua Xia. Most importantly, it was an electric car with the name "car" on it. For the users of Hua Xia, it was a huge attraction.

"Big news, big news, a major accident occurred in the Intel production workshop. All production equipment was burned down. It is estimated that production will not be able to resume within three years!!" At the beginning of July, such a big news instantly spread throughout the world's IT and electronics industries.
"Is this for real?" Everyone who saw this news couldn't help but ask in return.
"Of course it's true. The fire is so high that everyone in the city can see it. How can it be fake!"
"Quick! Quick! Stop the shipment quickly. Say that all the stock in our hands has been sold out! They're all sold out! "
The news of Intel's production workshop being burned down was not fake. Not only did the local people see the fire, but countless reporters also took pictures of this precious scene. For a time, the whole world was stirred up by the news. Then, the price of various CPUs skyrocketed.
It wasn't until later that there was definite news that Intel's latest top-notch chips and top-notch chips for games had been burned down. The rest of the interrupted and low-end chip production lines were still there. After all, they were manufactured by TSMC. A fire definitely couldn't spread from the United States to San Francisco. Only then did the price of mid-to-low-end CPU stop increasing.
But even so, almost all the CPU prices had increased by more than 100%, which made all the dealers happy. After all, what they increased was their inventory, and the price of the inventory was the original price, while the bitter customers were all frowning.
"Chairman, this is a notice from Intel. They are very sorry that they will not be able to provide us with professional gaming chips for the next three years!" In the Daqian Group's office, the senior executive of the purchasing department sent such a report to Boss Jia in despair.
"What do you think?" Boss Jia glanced at the report, then asked faintly.
"I'm afraid that the Daqian Group will face the most difficult time in the next three years!" The senior executive of the purchasing department said painfully, "At present, Daqian Games, Daqian Electronics, and other departments require more than two million pieces of high-end CPU chips every year. Now that we won't be able to get these chips in the next three years, our product line will be greatly affected, and many products may have to be discontinued!"
"How much do we have in stock?" Boss Jia asked again.
"Adding all the high-end chips of various models together, there are less than 100,000 pieces!" When the senior executive of the purchasing department said this, his forehead was full of sweat. He seemed to be able to imagine how angry Boss Jia would be in the next moment.
The annual consumption of two million high-end chips, but there were only 100,000 pieces in stock. This was definitely going to be scolded out of the chairman's soul.
However, the senior executive of the purchasing department had no choice. This was really not his responsibility. As early as the beginning of this year, he had already submitted the purchase plan for two million copies, but the higher-ups had not approved it for a long time. It had dragged on for four months before there was finally a response.
However, although the plan had been approved, the funding had not been approved. This caused the purchasing department to be very frustrated. They could only continuously use the stock purchased last year to support the production demand.
In the end, the funding had not been approved yet, but Intel had been burned down, and all the production lines had been destroyed. This was really too despairing.
I don't know if the chairman will listen to my explanation, or if he will believe that I am innocent. It's really the people in the secretarial and finance departments who are really bastards. They have been delaying my time! The senior executive of the purchasing department thought helplessly in his heart.
"Oh!" Unexpectedly, Boss Jia did not continue to ask. Instead, he said very happily, "It's just two million high-end chips, it won't affect the overall situation. As long as the mid-range chips needed for our Qian Kun Palmless Machine are not affected, it will be fine!"
"This … chairman, I'm afraid that there is also a problem!" Although it was a good thing that his boss was very optimistic, the head of the purchasing department still had to bite the bullet and continue to report the situation.
"Oh? What's the problem with the mid-range chips? I remember that in the news about Intel, only the production lines of the high-end chips were burned down! "Boss Jia asked, puzzled.
"Logically speaking, that's right. However, we just received news that part of the mid-range chip production lines were burned down. These were all together with the high-end chips. It's just that outsiders did not know about it!"
"Intel was afraid that if this news were to be announced, it would further affect their stock price, so they did not announce it at all. Although there is still a part of the production lines that can continue to work, these production lines will first satisfy customers who have placed orders. We did not place any orders, so I'm afraid that we will not be able to buy new mid-range chips for at least two years! "When the head of the purchasing department said this, his whole body turned cold. This was the most terrible thing!
