"The Daqian's second batch of Qian Kun Bian and Qian Jue game consoles are on sale!" The players who had endured the rumors for a long time finally waited until the beginning of August, when the second batch of consoles promised by the Daqian would be released.
Sure enough, the Qian Kun Bian and Qian Jue game consoles appeared in steam gaming stores all over the world. For a time, players once again flocked to the stores, and the sales situation was very lively.
This made Koji Ryomiya worried for a while. Could it be that the Daqian had really found a way to purchase the new chips?
This didn't seem impossible. For example, the Daqian had other companies or distributors purchase the chips on their behalf.
Therefore, Intel found a way to buy some of the second batch of Qian Kun Bian. After checking the chips inside, they found that this batch of chips was indeed from another batch. The Daqian had obtained the chips through other channels.
Later, Intel learned that the Daqian had purchased a large number of chips from them through various channels in Hua Xia and many distributors around the world. Then, they used all of them on the second batch of machines. That was how the second batch of machines was sold.
"We must severely crack down on this behavior!" Blake slammed the table in a high-level meeting of Intel and said, "Smuggling of goods is a huge damage to Intel's sales network. Any distributor who dares to smuggle goods will be directly disqualified according to the contract. At the same time, they will have to compensate us for our huge losses!"
Blake's order shocked everyone in Intel, and the distributors were even more shocked.
Although Intel's sales contract clearly stated that it was prohibited to smuggle goods and so on, the distributors didn't care too much about it. As long as it wasn't blatant smuggling, Intel generally chose to turn a blind eye.
Moreover, even if the first and second level distributors didn't smuggle goods, when it came to a more specific level, could you prohibit them from smuggling goods?
Smuggling goods generally didn't affect Intel's interests, so Intel had always turned a blind eye to it. The distributors under Intel had also reached a tacit understanding with Intel. Everyone could make money. Wouldn't that be great?
But this time, many distributors didn't expect Intel to deal with it so ruthlessly.
In just a week, all the distributors responsible for selling the chips that were found to have the wrong batch number were directly advised to leave. This included three first-level distributors who could obtain the distribution rights of the entire country. As for the distributors at other levels, they were fired. In the end, nearly 12% of the distributors were forcibly terminated by Intel in this storm.
Well, anyway, the price of the chips was very exaggerated now. Even if 12% of the distributors were fired, there were still 1,200% distributors who would kneel down and beg Intel for the distribution rights with money. After all, as long as they could get the chips now, they would be money!
As for the distributors who had been fired, they were naturally gnashing their teeth in hatred.
Yes, they had sold the chip to Da Qian, but Da Qian had offered a higher price. How could they not sell it? If they didn't sell Bian, they would, they were still qualified businessmen?
Moreover, the Daqian was a corporate user, not an ordinary consumer. Selling the chips to the Daqian didn't mean any loss to Intel. Why did Intel have such a big reaction?
Of course, some people also smelled that Intel was targeting the Daqian. Selling the chips to the Daqian was just asking for trouble.
But the problem was, if Intel wanted to ban the Daqian, then just say it. You can just say that you are not allowed to sell to the Daqian. If you say so, then I will definitely not sell.
But you don't say it. You want to pretend to be a good person. You want to be a bitch and set up a monument for your chastity. But how would I know that Intel and the Daqian can't get along? I just want to make some money.
Anyway, these distributors who were disqualified were very angry. But anger was useless. New distributors immediately came, and each distributor paid a large amount of admission fee. This made Intel a lot of money again.
But this time, all the distributors learned their lesson. They knew that Intel was banning the Daqian, and they don't dare to sell their chips to the Daqian anymore.
At the same time, this also confirmed this point for everyone in the circle.

"Hahahaha!" After a while, Ryōki Ken had a satisfied smile on his face. Just now, more than a dozen game developers had contacted Sony and expressed their willingness to develop games for Sony's PSP.
This was the first batch of game developers who expressed their willingness to develop games for the PSP since the Daqian's Qiankun sales started!
After all, the PSP's sales were too low. Now, it was less than 10% of Qiankun sales. This was destined to be a flop. No game developers would be willing to develop games for the PSP.
But now, these game developers had come to Sony.
What did this mean?
This meant that even these game developers had smelled something fishy in the air. They could smell that Intel was going to strangle Da Qian with chips, and Da Qian seemed to have no other choice but to stretch out his neck to be slaughtered.
After all, the world's most advanced chips were in Intel. Unless the Daqian was willing to be one generation behind their competitors, the Daqian would not be able to produce a new PSP.
So, the PSP, which looked terrible now, was actually a big boss in the future. If they could build a good relationship with Sony and release their games on the PSP, their companies would be able to reap a lot of benefits!
Many game developers had started to negotiate with Sony, including Konami. The PSP, which had been deserted, was suddenly revived. Ryōki Ken's face was full of smiles.
Sure enough, roping in Intel was a good move. It was a brilliant move!
Ryōki Ken was overjoyed when he received news from some business intelligence agencies. Many of the Daqian's executives had started to meet other companies in the world that could produce chips, such as Samsung, Canon, etc., to ask if they could provide Qiankun and Qiankun's CPU.
But it was obvious that these companies could not provide Qiankun's CPU. That's why the Daqian did not get any results after half a month.
At the same time, more and more players started to complain about Hongmeng's system crashes on the internet. Every day, new CPU's are sold, and the number of players complaining about Hongmeng's system crashes will increase.
According to the investigation, the Daqian had lost more than 200,000 Hongmeng users in the past month.
This figure might not sound like a lot, but to Hongmeng, which only has slightly more than 10 million users, this is a huge loss of 2%. This is bad news.
On July 15th, there was another big news. Jia Yapeng had boarded a plane to the United States. But he did not announce his itinerary and business plans.
Obviously, Jia Yapeng was here for Intel.
