Super Rich: Obtained Shares of 100 Billion Group at the Beginning

Chapter 1410 Shortage of Chip Raw Materials

The time comes at night.

Inside the Zhu family's old residence, Zhu Tianyuan's furious voice rang out once again.

The reason is simple: ever since Qin Zhengming and the other man left, he has been trying to connect with the network of contacts that the Zhu family has built up over the years.

However, no matter how he tried to contact them, the other party would just say "cooperate obediently" and then hang up.

Even the Zhu family's strongest connections in the capital, a former fourth-in-command, said the same thing.

"Don't even think about resisting the might of Heaven. Cooperate obediently, and the Zhu family still has a chance to survive!"

These words plunged Zhu Tianyuan into utter despair.

The endless despair, coupled with all the previous events, fueled a raging fire of rage.

"God, why are you always targeting me! Why!!!"

After uttering several "whys" in succession, this important figure standing at the top of the Shenzhen pyramid coughed up a mouthful of blood and collapsed to the ground.

"Ambulance! Where's the family doctor?"

"Quick, quick! The patriarch has fainted!"

.........

The purge is still ongoing, and it's not just in Shenzhen; the entire country is experiencing the same thing.

However, ordinary people are unaware of all this.

At most, they learn from their mobile phones that a senior executive of a company is under investigation, or that a group has suspended operations for special reasons.

All of this had nothing to do with Lu Feng. He had finally found some free time and spent the last two days with Shen Suyuan and his uncle.

He stayed in Beijing for three days until he received news that Qualcomm's internal network had been rebuilt, and only then did he return to Shanghai.

"Chairman Lu, Qualcomm's internal network has now been fully restored to normal. Do you think we should launch another attack?"

Inside Tenglong Group, Zhou Han gave a brief report on the recent situation and offered his suggestions.

When faced with his question, Lu Feng refused without even thinking.

The Chaos Virus is his ultimate weapon. The fact that he used it on Qualcomm once is already quite generous of him. How could he possibly use it a second time?

"The same trick only needs to be used once. If you use it too often, it will lose its deterrent effect."

Lu Feng crossed his legs, slowly lit a cigarette, put it in his mouth, and said:

How's chip production going lately?

Upon hearing his chairman inquire about the chip situation, Zhou Han dared not delay and hurriedly replied, "Currently, there are no problems with chip production, but there are some issues with the raw materials."

"Oh? What's the problem?"

Lu Feng frowned.

"It's not a big problem, just a shortage of a few raw materials, such as high-purity silicon, a few special gases, and resins for chip manufacturing."

"Because of Western countries, there are not many companies here that produce these raw materials, so there won't be any problems in the short term."

"However, if you want to enter the CPU and GPU fields in the future, the companies we currently cooperate with will not be able to keep up at all."

Zhou Han briefly and quickly outlined the potential predicaments that Tenglong might be facing.

Upon hearing this, Lu Feng nodded; he hadn't really considered that point.

Previously, he only knew that Western countries, in order to restrict China's chip technology, prevented any force from selling lithography machines to China and also prohibited the provision of technical support.

Unexpectedly, the other party even restricted the raw materials.

"So, you mean we can't buy it through normal channels?"

Lu Feng stubbed out his cigarette with his bare hands, his expression turning serious.

"That's right, especially high-purity silicon. Although China can produce it, its standards do not meet our requirements."

"According to my investigation, in Asia, only Japan and South Korea are currently capable of producing high-purity silicon that meets our requirements."

Zhou Han nodded, his brows furrowed with deep sorrow.

Make bricks without straw.

Tenglong has the capability to produce top-tier chips, but it can't do without raw materials.

"Sigh~"

Lu Feng took a deep breath, and for a moment he was stumped by the question.

The blockade of China's chip development is orchestrated by a few major powers; virtually no force dares to risk its own survival by secretly selling raw materials to them.

Just look at Huawei, once a leader in China's chip industry; it has always used raw materials produced domestically in China.

"Click"

The sound of a lighter rang out, and Lu Feng lit another cigarette.

"Can you find a way to get some more of those suppliers who provided us with raw materials before?"

He exhaled a puff of smoke and looked at Zhou Han, who quickly shook his head.

"No, they were able to get those raw materials before because the foreign blockade against China wasn't that strict."

"But now, with the rise of Tenglong chips, foreign countries have suddenly increased their blockade efforts, and now no company dares to sell raw materials privately."

The atmosphere became heavy after Zhou Han's words.

The situation is now very clear. Previously, when foreign powers saw that China's chip industry could not rise, they gradually relaxed their blockade against China.

However, with the rise of the Tenglong first-generation chip, foreign forces have become aware of the danger again, and their initial relaxation has turned into martial law.

"Tsk, everyone used to say that the chip industry was difficult, but I didn't really feel it directly. Now, after these two blockades, I can see that it's really hard to make a name for yourself in the chip industry!"

Lu Feng exhaled a puff of smoke and said with a touch of emotion.

Foreign powers have imposed a comprehensive chip blockade on China, cutting off all avenues from technology, machinery, equipment, and raw materials.

Even he, who was using cheat codes, encountered setbacks several times, let alone those companies and forces without cheat codes.

"Chairman Lu, should we continue production? If this continues, the raw materials we've accumulated will soon run out!"

Zhou Han asked in a low voice.

"Production, of course we must produce! We can't stop."

Without a second thought, Lu Feng said, "Now is a critical moment. The more critical the moment, the less we should show weakness. Otherwise, Tenglong will face even more severe blockades."

"Not only will we not stop production, but we will also release a new chip to let the whole world know that they can no longer stop China's rise!"

He took a deep drag of his cigarette and looked at Zhou Han: "Starting tomorrow, we'll announce that we're going to release another new mobile phone chip, and we'll hold a chip launch event seven days later."

"As for the raw materials, don't worry, I'll take care of it!"

Zhou Han, who had been worried about the lack of raw materials, was encouraged by his chairman's words, and his previous worries vanished, making him more motivated again.

"Yes, Chairman, I promise I won't let you down!"
