Chapter 388 This Is Such a Ridiculous Comedy

Therefore, as a listed company, in order to have good-looking financial reports, it is natural to start "downsizing."

The entertainment sector such as video and live broadcasting "got" the first cut, with more than 150% layoffs, and some business departments were even eliminated directly.

Baidu’s stock price has also been falling continuously. As of July 1, there were only 48 billion US dollars left.

If Baidu had not introduced the three major artifacts of intelligent AI, autonomous driving and the metaverse, I am afraid that whether it could hold on to the figure of 40 billion would have been a problem.

Moreover, surrounded by all the heroes, all of Baidu's platforms lack a good content ecology, and the basic traffic is declining day by day. Institutions are not optimistic about it, and investors are very disappointed.

Coupled with layoffs and expenditure reductions, if Baidu cannot achieve milestone results in its three major artifact projects, I am afraid investors will not even give it a chance to earn back its research and development expenses.

One general succeeds but ten thousand bones wither. Baidu is just a microcosm of domestic enterprises.

As Suiren Company's products are selling like hotcakes, consumers in overseas markets are paying for Suiren Company, and other competing products will naturally experience a decline in performance.

However, what is different from that in Daxia is that the share prices of foreign companies have fallen the most in the high-end manufacturing industry.

When Chenxing S11 made Snapdragon 888 its younger brother, after Qualcomm negotiated an emergency meeting, some shareholders even shouted: If anyone dares to develop their own chips, we will take back the technology!

However, with the "enthusiastic help" of industry insiders, Qualcomm's technology department reluctantly told the executive team and shareholders: "They are really all self-help. From framework design to logic algorithms, everything is different from our technology."

Of course, this situation cannot be announced to the outside world.

He said harsh words, so naturally he couldn't slap himself in the face.

Moreover, shareholders and executives were also pleasantly surprised to find that after the harsh words were released, Qualcomm's stock price began to stop falling and rise.

Investors also learned about Qualcomm’s “real” side with the help of many “science popularizers” and media.

The big brother in the field of mobile phone chips can beat the scalps of other manufacturers with a big patent stick. Even Xiawei Qilin, which is at its peak, has limited production capacity due to certain technical reasons.

"So Chenxing S11 will also suffer this kind of treatment. Now that Qualcomm's stock price is falling is a good time to buy at the bottom!" said a certain YouTube influencer.

Moreover, this big V with a high degree of education and a golden resume proudly “revealed” some secrets to subscribers.

"Qualcomm is a well-known international company with extremely high market influence in the international community. With the help of such market influence, Qualcomm relies on its strong scientific research capabilities. If it really imposes some restrictions on certain companies in terms of relevant technologies or If it is completely restricted, in addition to handing over a large amount of profits, the targeted company will either have to accept capital injection from Qualcomm and become a Qualcomm employee.

I personally hope that the latter will happen, which means that Qualcomm may be able to use this opportunity to enter Jiuzhou Technology Company, increase its huge cash flow, and gradually devour the other party.

By then, the one million US dollars I have invested now may increase to three million or even five million. After all, Jiuzhou Technology Company is also the world's third mobile phone system company and the world's leading wafer manufacturing technology research and development company. "

Many people have no idea what kind of technology he mentioned, but when this elite boss mentioned that he also bought one million US dollars of Qualcomm stock, and that it would soon increase to five million, many people who subscribed to him Users are excited.

Then something even more surprising happened to many retail investors.

Jim, the chief stock analyst of CP, a well-known Wall Street investment institution, predicted in an interview, “As Qualcomm begins to defend its patents and market position, the market gradually begins to realize that the business of this semiconductor design giant has become more diversified. Qualcomm The stock price may rise by more than 25% in the next 6 months.

The market believes that Qualcomm is just a smartphone chip design company, and the general view is that its fate is closely linked to Pingguo. In my opinion, this view has dragged down Qualcomm's stock price and underestimated the sacredness of intellectual property and the strength of technology patent barriers. "

This interview was circulated among major institutional platforms and retail investors, and many people who read it were excited and called OMG.

Of course, TSMC and Hanxing Semiconductor also encountered the same situation. Due to Xiaxin Technology’s 7nm process and its large-scale expansion of common processes such as 14nm, TSMC and Hanxing Semiconductor not only lost Xia Wei as a major customer

, and also lost many ordinary corporate customers in Daxia.

After all, chips for daily household appliances and equipment such as car chips and charging chips really do not use high-end processes of single-digit nanometers.

Therefore, while the Chenxing S11 chip is overflowing with global dominance, it has also made investors realize that the semiconductor industry in Daxia has jumped from the low-end to the high-end. The advantages of TSMC and Korean Semiconductor have been lost, so keen investors have begun to sell stocks secretly. It's just that there were too many people selling, causing the stock prices of TSMC and Korean Semiconductor to almost fluctuate and fall.

After Qualcomm's big brother gave a first-hand demonstration, other interested companies naturally followed suit.

After all, people on Wall Street are not lofty gods. They are also human beings and they also like dollars.

While receiving red envelopes, you can also make money from stock price fluctuations while learning the inside story. Why not?

Therefore, a very fragmented phenomenon has appeared in many European and American countries.

Suiren Company's products are in short supply, and the Suiren civilian appliances on supermarket shelves are often sold out. People's mobile phone systems are either flashed with Gonggong system or installed with Jiebei to optimize speed.

In the media, major newspapers and once very authoritative institutions did not mention it at all, but instead advocated the metaverse, the golden age of the entertainment industry, and other virtual entertainment industries and chip manufacturing. These high-tech companies have strong patent barriers.

At this time, there is no global integration and mutual benefit.

Among them, an executive of Ameritrade Investment Bank said in an interview, "We should think like this, in the next 5 to 10 years, all human activities that have not yet moved online will move online. We can only imagine what it will look like.

Investors should consider investing in the Metaverse just as they invested in the early Internet. This means focusing on hardware suppliers first, then software suppliers, and then companies operating within the technology.

Entering the virtual world will require huge computing power. For example, companies such as Nvidia, AMD, and Qualcomm, as well as TSMC and Hanxing Semiconductor, which are foundry manufacturers.

Chip semiconductors are 1nm ahead, and the performance is very different. Fortunately, the companies I mentioned are all companies with the industry's top processes and patented technologies.

As for Daxia? My God, they were still watching black and white TVs thirty years ago. Do you think they have a chance to enter the circle of Metaverse hardware providers?

Come on, I admit that this is a ridiculous comedy."
