20X1, February 27th.
After the Lantern Festival.
It was the start of school again.
Elementary schools, middle schools, and high schools across the country started their classes one after another. Some had already started making up for their lessons.
Some people described the start of school as the opening scene of a disaster movie. After relaxing for a whole winter holiday, the students would immediately plunge into the boring learning process.
The process of switching status was very painful, especially for students who did not love learning. It was indeed a disaster.
However, the situation this year was a little special.
Especially for the students who had an intelligent learning machine, the start of school was not a disaster. The school was not a cage. The learning process was not so painful. On the contrary, it was quite relaxing and interesting. It made people feel happy.
The so-called "happy learning" had become a real reality, but it did not hinder the students from mastering knowledge.
As for the students and parents who had not bought an intelligent learning machine, they were naturally extremely anxious and impatient. Under Xing Hai Technologies' official Weibo and Chen Jin's personal Weibo, there was a large number of voices urging for goods. "Why hasn't my child's learning machine been produced yet?"
There were also those who threatened and threatened. "Xing Hai Technologies, I'm going to blow you up!"
Seeing that the Z country's parents were beginning to lose control and were about to explode, some forces in the dark corners of foreign countries brought out their stools. They were holding potato chips, cola, and other snacks in their hands. They were ready to enjoy an exciting show.
However, they were disappointed.
In just a few days, Xing Hai Technologies' official Weibo had regained its composure.
The frenzied voices were gone. The extreme comments were getting fewer and fewer.
The Z country's parents seemed to have been pacified by a mysterious force.
…
Gorea.
In a certain conference room.
"What's going on? Why did the Z country's parents stop making a fuss? Don't they know that they won't be able to buy a learning machine even if they wait another year? "
"This is too strange. Z country will hold their college entrance examination in July this year, but at least a considerable number of high school students can't buy a learning machine. They won't be able to buy one even after the exam! Their children are going to lose to students with learning machines. This is unfair! They should resist! "a foreigner said in a remote video call.
"Yes, this is indeed unfair. Even if this happened in the M country, many parents would definitely take to the streets to protest. But the Z country's parents didn't. This is confusing."
"I understand now!"
Samsin's president, Li Jianrong, who had just fallen into deep thought, suddenly shouted, "We underestimated the Z country and neglected the Z government.
"The Z country's government must have suppressed this matter!"
"The Z people are best at covering up bad things. It is said that there was a flood in the Wuchuan Province of the Z country. Thousands of people drowned, but the official report only stated that a few people died. There was a mining accident in a large coal mining province. Hundreds of people died, but there was no media coverage. There are hundreds of terrorist incidents in the Z country every year, but only two of them are on TV at most …"
"No matter what disaster happens, everything is under their control!"
"Including this incident, the Z country's government must have suppressed it and settled the parents who protested."
"They often do this kind of thing and are very skilled in handling it. The legitimate demands of the parents are destined to be unable to be upheld."
The foreigners in the remote video call were shocked and exclaimed one after another.
"This is the nightmare of the democratic world."
"I can't imagine what would happen if this happened in Merica?"
"Our media should expose the truth and let the parents of Z country know!"
"No!"
Li Jianrong shook his head awkwardly. "The decrease in the production capacity of the Little Star learning machine is caused by Samsin banning the sale of memory chips. If the parents of Z country know about this, their anger will be directed at us … We can't expose the truth."
Everyone looked at each other, feeling a little awkward.
Perhaps this was called shooting oneself in the foot.
What should they do?
Was there no way to deal with Xing Hai Technologies?
Of course not!
Li Jianrong suddenly revealed a strange smile. "Gentlemen, I have a solution that satisfies both sides. It can not only expose the truth about Xing Hai Technologies' lack of production capacity, but also prevent the Z country's president from pointing the finger at us."
In addition, it could also bring huge benefits to Samsin. It was killing three birds with one stone, he thought to himself.
"What solution?"
Everyone's eyes were on him.
"Burn down the memory chip factory."
Li Jianrong said slowly with a sinister smile on his face. "Of course it's a fake burn, but it will look like it's real. Then, announce to the public that the memory chip factory has stopped production and can no longer supply memory chips, especially Xing Hai Technologies' learning machine. This will make all the parents of Z country realize that they may not be able to buy a learning machine in the short term."
"Not bad, this is a good idea!"
"Let's do that."
An official from the European Union said with an ugly expression, "Mr. Li, you're not thinking of raising the price of memory chips, are you? Using this opportunity to fish for benefits? I'm warning you, the price of your memory chips is already very high. If you raise it any further, our European consumers will be very dissatisfied. Be careful, we will launch an anti-trust investigation on Samsin! "
Li Jianrong immediately guaranteed, "Please rest assured, the price increase of Samsin's memory chips will only affect Z country. It will not increase in the Western market."
Only then did the EU official's expression lighten a little.
…
The next morning.
A memory chip factory located in Pyeongtaek City was Samsin's largest memory chip production plant.
In the largest factory building of the factory.
More than ten iron pots with a diameter of nearly two meters were set up.
A large number of workers in white uniforms carried bundles of firewood in their arms and stacked them in the iron pots.
The firewood in the iron pots was neatly stacked into a beautiful tower-shaped firewood mountain, like a transistor in the microscopic world.
Then, a little gasoline was poured on top of the firewood mountain.
"Light the fire!"
The supervisor took out a lighter and lit up the firewood piles one by one.
More than ten bonfires were lit in the factory building, like individual torches.
However, this way of burning would not produce much thick smoke.
The experienced supervisor saw that the firewood fire was burning fiercely and immediately said, "Get some water and pour it on! When the smoke comes out, use a fan to fan it. "
"Yes!"
Basin after basin of water was poured on the firewood. Due to the low temperature, the firewood was not fully burned. A large amount of smoke was produced and filled the entire factory building.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
The thick smoke was choking, and many workers coughed.
However, this did not stop their excited discussion.
"Our memory chip factory produces 40% of the world's DDR4 memory chips. If an accident occurs, the price of memory chips will increase by at least 30%."
"We've set up 15 pots this time, so it should increase by at least 50%."
"Our wages are going to increase, cough, cough, cough ~" This worker laughed loudly and immediately choked on his laughter. He coughed violently.
"Make the smoke bigger," the supervisor said.
…
Noon.
The CEO's office.
The assistant brought over the photos and placed them in front of the president, Li Jianrong.
Looking at the thick smoke billowing in the photos and the scene of government fire trucks sprinkling water, Li Jianrong nodded with satisfaction. Not bad, not bad at all.
Suddenly, the phone on his desk rang.
Li Jianrong picked up the phone and put it to his ear. He heard a panicked voice. "President, this is bad. The smoke is too big this time. A large number of smoke particles have seeped into the dust-free factory through the ventilation pipes. The production equipment has been polluted, and all the crystals on the production line have been scrapped! We'll have to stop work for at least a month to clean up. The direct economic loss is more than 200 million US dollars! "
200 million US dollars?
The smile on Li Jianrong's face froze. He scolded, "I'll give you half a month to clean up the pollution and restart the production line!"
"President, it'll take at least 20 days …"
Li Jianrong hung up immediately.
His face was cold. He gritted his teeth and said, "200 million US dollars, Xing Hai Technologies, you'll have to pay the price!"
…
Two o 'clock in the afternoon.
On Z country's Weibo, Samsin's official Weibo account posted a few pictures of the factory full of thick smoke.
They posted a message: Our memory chip factory is on fire (crying) (crying) (crying). They even specially tagged Xing Hai Technologies: We're sorry, Xing Hai Technologies. From today onwards, we can no longer supply you with memory chips.
