Chapter 542 Sanctions Are Finally Here!

The popularity of Xingchen Intelligent Transportation System and global attention.

All of them have pushed the artificial intelligence major of Xingchen College to the forefront.

Many countries, including the beautiful country and Wuzhou, have established intelligent transportation companies.

Because they all believe that intelligent transportation systems have great prospects.

It may be equipped with intelligent driving technology in the future.

If you plan ahead, you will have a first-mover advantage.

There are even dedicated grants to support the industry.

It is as if the intelligent transportation system has suddenly become the next global racetrack.

But the impact of Xingchen Intelligent Transportation System goes far beyond that.

Originally in the US stock market.

The valuations of domestic AI companies are extremely high.

Because the beautiful country’s AI industry leads the world.

There are not even a few Internet giants in Wuzhou, so there is nothing to be afraid of.

In China, a group of companies will only follow suit.

Not many people can take out anything.

All investors believe that Beautiful Congress will lead the trend of the AI ​​era.

Just like the previous electronic information revolution, it continues to lead the world.

This has led to a large amount of hot money entering the AI ​​industry in beautiful countries.

However, the emergence of the Xingchen Intelligent Transportation System has broken public perception.

The artificial intelligence major of Xingchen College has suddenly emerged.

Even though it's not the same track.

But it can also prove the strength of Star Academy.

The most important thing is that the Xingchen student who created the Xingchen Intelligent Transportation System is only a sophomore.

That's it for sophomore year.

Then wait for their internship in their junior year and wait until they officially graduate?

What kind of light will it show and what kind of excellent products will it make?

Even the teaching big data system introduced in the Xingchen Affiliated College, which was previously ignored, is now being taken seriously.

Curious to see what can be done.

Everyone can see it.

Star Academy will definitely occupy a place in the artificial intelligence industry.

Star College is a Chinese enterprise.

China is a beautiful country’s competitor.

It is difficult to say what the future pattern will be.

Under this circumstance, the beautiful AI market has naturally shrunk.

Except for the leading companies, the market value of most companies has plummeted, cut in half.

Even some start-up AI companies in beautiful countries have already negotiated large investments.

The result is the sudden rise of Xingchen’s artificial intelligence profession.

Investors hesitate and cancel their investments.

Without investment, the company can only close down.

It can be said that because of Star Academy, the booming AI market in Beautiful Country has burst its bubble in advance.

This has brought huge losses to the beautiful country's economy.

…

The world attaches great importance to AI and believes that it may be the starting point of the next industrial revolution.

The same is naturally true for beautiful countries.

They have even relied on AI to attract a large amount of capital, create a large number of jobs, and absorb talents from around the world.

Now that there are competitors, it is naturally impossible for the opponent to just sit idly by.

So just a few days after the Chinese New Year.

There is a piece of news coming out of the beautiful country.

In order to ensure the first-mover advantage of the beautiful country in the AI ​​industry, and to protect the global status of the beautiful country.

A beautiful state-owned congressman proposed that high-computing power graphics processors be included in the export review catalog.

If this proposal passes the Senate in the future.

Then the export of high-power graphics processors will become complicated.

Naturally, friendly countries can still buy it easily and will not be affected in any way.

However, it is difficult for non-friendly countries, or countries identified as competitors, to import.

when this news.

It instantly made it to the top of the hot search list on the beautiful country’s social platform that day.

Many technology companies came forward to express their support for this proposal.

The media in China naturally reprinted the information immediately.

It also triggered heated discussions in the country.

Graphics processor is gpu, and its Chinese name is graphics card.

For AI to operate, what it needs most is the computing power provided by the graphics card.

Without computing power, no matter how excellent your model is, it will not work.

This is like the importance of coal to thermal power stations.

No matter how advanced the technology of your thermal power station is, the energy conversion rate will be higher.

Without coal, one kilowatt hour of electricity cannot be produced.

The same goes for the AI ​​industry.

Without computing power, everything is a loft in the sky.

In the past two years, due to the AI ​​craze, China has been in a state of shortage of computing power.

Every year, a large number of high-end professional-grade graphics cards are purchased from overseas.

If it is banned, it will be a major blow to the development of the entire country’s AI industry.

After all, even computing power cannot be guaranteed.

No matter how good the product is, it cannot be put into practice.

No one will invest in this industry anymore.

As for who the beautiful country’s proposal is aimed at, it is self-evident.

no doubt.

The other party believed that Star College's artificial intelligence major posed a threat to them.

That's why it happened.

And best of all, it could actually come true.

After all, beautiful countries have done this before, often even less.

So it's still just a proposal.

But it has caused an uproar in the global capital market.

The market value of those AI companies in the beautiful country has fallen, but it has quickly risen back, and even risen even higher.

And in China.

The stock prices of AI or companies involved in AI have all fallen.

Many investment institutions that were originally full of confidence in China's AI industry because of Xingchen Academy and were planning to invest also gave up the idea instantly.

As for just a proposal, it caused such a big stir.

Naturally, there is only one reason...

China is too backward in the chip industry.

Maybe the gap in the low-end chip field is not that big.

Many can be self-produced and self-developed.

But in the field of high-end chips, it is still blank.

There is no chip that can meet the development of its own industry.

Once it is banned from import.

The AI ​​industry, which has just started not long ago, will suffer an unprecedented blow.

…

For a while, the popularity of Xingchen's artificial intelligence major, which had just gone down, came up again.

Domestic netizens talked about it, and they were all indignant.

Once something is developed well in their own country, once there is a little hope.

The other party immediately began to suppress and sanction.

This is really too bullying.

But the problem is that there is really nothing they can do about the other party.

After all, chips are not something that can be made by simply throwing money.

Otherwise, they would not have been lagging behind.

So it is different from other industries.

When other industries were banned, netizens could still confidently say that it didn't matter.

But this time, netizens were really speechless.

They just felt extremely aggrieved.

However, some netizens hoped that Xingchen College could open a semiconductor major.

They were very proud.

However, most netizens obviously didn't take this statement seriously.

After all, Xingchen College is indeed magical.

But it's not really a god, so how can it open all high-end majors?

Besides, the chip gap is so big that even if it is opened, it may not bring any changes to the current situation.

...

And in Xingchen College.

Ye Chen, who just came back from the trip, planned to rest for a few more days.

He and Lu Jing stayed in their house for two days.

As a result, because of this, they had no choice but to get up and attend a meeting.

Sitting in the meeting room.

Ye Chen flipped through the news on the Internet.

To be honest, Ye Chen was very calm and didn't feel angry.

He even wanted to laugh a little.

Because of this situation, Ye Chen had expected it.

The other party did too many things like this, so there was nothing surprising.

It can be said that after the school reopened, Ye Chen had expected that this day would always come.

Even Xingchen Financial Company has arranged a large amount of funds for this in advance.

It is estimated that in this wave of stock market fluctuations, it can make a lot of money again.

As for the emotion of anger.

Ye Chen naturally would not have it.

After all, anger mostly comes from powerlessness.

Faced with such a suppression proposal, most companies and countries are indeed powerless.

But Ye Chen is really not in vain.

Because Ye Chen really has a system.

It can really exchange for a semiconductor major and build a chip industry.

Not even just the chip industry.

But the entire industry chain.

From the upstream lithography machine, to architecture development, to chip design.

We can do it all by ourselves.

It just so happens that we opened a computer major last year.

As long as Ye Chen spends money, he can also build a system together and directly open up the entire link.

For Ye Chen, being sanctioned is nothing more than a slight delay of two years.

But after that, everything will be his own, and he will only be more handy and develop more smoothly.

So Ye Chen was not panicked at all.

After sitting down in the conference room, he asked with interest: "The United States did not directly sanction our Xingchen Academy, but instead used high-end GPU chips to block the entire industry."

"It surprised me a little."

"I thought the United States would directly blacklist our Xingchen Academy."

Hearing this, the teachers of artificial intelligence at the scene all laughed.

It was unexpected that their family was not directly sanctioned, but it was reasonable.

Apart from anything else, many industries of Xingchen Academy have shareholders abroad.

And many of these shareholders are top listed companies.

Because they have business with Xingchen Academy, they are shareholders of the affiliated industries of Xingchen Academy and make a lot of money.

The market value of these listed companies is also much higher.

If Xingchen Academy is sanctioned, blacklisted and prohibited from cooperation, and enjoys the treatment of Huayao.

Then these listed companies will definitely be affected, and their stock prices will plummet.

There are too many companies cooperating with their own.

Once the sanctions are directly named, the other party will also suffer a lot of losses.

Besides, Star M1 building materials, Star slimming pills, and Star perfect elasticity cream are still in short supply.

If Star Academy is banned, the people who are still waiting in line will be furious, right?

Secondly.

Our own academy is different from ordinary enterprises.

Our own academy.

Although the global university rankings have intentionally or unintentionally ignored our own academy in the past two years, and have always remained in the top 100.

But it is undeniable.

Our own academy has long been among the top domestic academies.

It is even a unique existence.

There are countless students from all countries who want to come to Star Academy as international students.

They also need the talents cultivated by Star Academy.

If it is banned.

Talents are no longer needed?

In short, it is probably because of these reasons.

It is because of Star Academy that the United States has made such a move.

But it did not mention Star Academy at all.

After figuring this out, the teachers all smiled.

The director of the artificial intelligence major said, "I just looked at the main social media in the United States."

"The people of the United States, like the people of our country, mostly hold opposing views."

"They all think that the capital of their own country will only make crazy money."

"It's not as humane as the Star Academy."

"Compared to the dominance of the AI ​​field by their own technology giants, they are more looking forward to the Star Academy to create AI that truly benefits the people..."

"I heard that in the population division, workers support us the most."

Hearing the director's words, Ye Chen smiled.

It seems that the reputation accumulated over the years is indeed quite useful.

But reputation is not a decisive thing.

If you don't give in, the other party will definitely sanction you.

Sanctions are just a means.

I guess soon, the other party will send conditions.

If the Star Academy compromises.

If the other party gets what they want, they will not continue to sanction and choose to let go.

But if they can't get it.

Then no matter how good the reputation of their own academy is and how much support the people have, it will be useless.

...

As expected, not long after the meeting.

I received a notice from the United States on my official email.

Ye Chen also received a private call from the United States.

The other party is a shareholder of one of the affiliated companies of Xingchen.

The other party relayed the meaning of the United States.

The other party hopes that Xingchen College will open a branch in the United States.

The research classes including artificial intelligence, medicine, architecture and fitness, as well as the biological science breeding major, will be moved to the United States.

The United States will provide Xingchen College with a piece of land larger than the Xingchen New District for free.

At the same time, it will provide an interest-free loan of 2 billion US dollars.

Help Xingchen College build a branch.

At the same time, the high-tech affiliated companies of Xingchen College must also be registered in the United States and opened in the United States.

If these conditions are agreed.

The other party will not pass the sanctions agreement in the future.

Hearing this, Ye Chen smiled.

It is indeed the case.

However, what Ye Chen did not expect was that the other party even took a fancy to the two new majors of biological breeding that opened last year.

It can only be said that there is something.

But he did not ask for the finance major, it seems that he did not take a fancy to it.

But it's true, the talents in the financial industry of the United States can be packed in sacks.

There is indeed a shortage of supply.

"Principal Ye, although I am just conveying the other party's meaning..."

"But in terms of our personal communication, I also hope that Principal Ye will agree."

"The United States is definitely the most terrifying country in the world so far."

"Once you become an opponent, you will be suppressed from all sides of the world, and development will be difficult."

"And if you join us, you will get support from the whole world."

"We are an immigrant country, we welcome outstanding talents and companies like Mr. Ye."

"Don't worry about being treated differently, it won't happen."

"Look at the world's richest man today, he is an immigrant."

"But what about his current achievements? Unparalleled, the whole world is watching. And his achievements are inseparable from the international status of our United States."

"After all, no matter how strong the personal ability is, it also depends on the backing."

"If the richest man had not immigrated and was still a South African, he would never have achieved such an achievement."

"..."

...

Ye Chen threw his mobile phone on the table and turned on the external speaker.

Listening to the other party's bewitching words, even bringing up the deeds of the world's richest man.

Ye Chen couldn't help but laugh.

What the other party said actually made some sense.

But Ye Chen didn't believe it.

If Xingchen College really moved there.

I'm afraid it won't be long before the college doesn't belong to Ye Chen.

Even after being divided, it's not impossible for Ye Chen to commit suicide with a few shots in the back.

Not to mention, Ye Chen really didn't take the sanctions seriously.

So, Ye Chen chuckled and replied: "The efficiency of your American construction workers is too low, compared to the time required for relocation and building a new school!"

"I think it's better to open a major, train talents and make chips by yourself..."

"After all, this may save a little time..."

Ye Chen smiled and answered.

The other party couldn't help but be stunned.

He had guessed that Ye Chen might refuse.

After all, the importance of Xingchen College can be seen by the whole world.

It's normal that it can't be moved out.

But he really didn't expect that Ye Chen would give such an answer.

Open a major and make chips by yourself?

That's ridiculous.

Besides, even if you really cultivate chip talents.

But you don't even have a high-end lithography machine. Are you going to let students rub chips by hand?

What a joke.

At this moment.

The other party even doubted whether Ye Chen was crazy! (End of this chapter)
