Great country technology, I have a system where hard work pays off!

In a café in Northeast China.

"That America, their heart for our demise is truly unyielding!"

Yang Zhi from Huludao slammed his fist on the table, his expression one of considerable anger.

"What's wrong, brother?"

Someone beside him couldn't help but ask.

"What else could it be? America, in order to destroy our mobile phone and computer industries, has cut off our chip supply."

Having said that, Yang Zhi remained quite indignant.

"Cut off chip supply?"

The people present, upon hearing this, immediately revealed expressions of curiosity.

Seeing this, Yang Zhi immediately told them the more detailed reasons for the matter, and then someone immediately took out their mobile phone to search for related news.

So, in the following time, bursts of cursing rang out one after another.

People cursed TSMC one after another, lambasting them for bowing their heads and yielding due to pressure from America.

Of course, people even more fiercely cursed the mastermind behind everything, which was America.

After all, TSMC's chip order business was doing well, and it was said that Geek Technology Company contributed more than 40% of the profits to TSMC.

It was impossible for TSMC to voluntarily give up Geek Technology Company's chip foundry orders and cut off its own arm.

The reason they gave up Geek Technology Company's chip foundry orders must be because of America, which was almost a foregone conclusion.

Even if they had no evidence, sometimes looking at who the biggest beneficiary was would reveal who the mastermind was, and that was the best evidence.

Therefore, while people were angry at TSMC's soft backbone, they were even more dissatisfied and angry with America.

And the number of angry people was naturally not limited to them. In fact, the matter of Geek Technology Company's chip interruption was too big.

So, various slightly well-known internet media, television media, paper newspapers, and other news channels all exposed this matter.

Even social media platforms and video platforms such as Geek chat groups, Weibo, Twitter, Facebook, Geek short videos, and Bilibili also featured related content.

The trending searches of various software even directly climbed into the top three, allowing more people to know about this matter. Among them, people's attitudes were almost uniformly cursing TSMC and cursing America.

After all, America put pressure on TSMC, preventing TSMC from continuing to manufacture chips for Geek Technology Company.

What was actually infringed upon were the interests of all consumers.

As long as people thought that they could no longer buy Geek S3 smartphones, Dami M2 smartphones, or Geek computers.

How could they not be indignant?

After all, this infringed upon their interests and also infringed upon their freedom to shop.

And so, TSMC and America directly found themselves in the eye of the storm.

Among them, under tremendous public pressure,

America's news mouthpiece immediately came out in less than two days, stating that this matter had nothing to do with America.

That news mouthpiece stated that TSMC's cessation of chip manufacturing for Geek Technology Company was TSMC's freedom, and America did not put pressure on TSMC.

Then the news mouthpiece continued to quibble, saying that America had never issued any documents, so this matter had nothing to do with them.

Faced with America's sophistry, some people believed it, and some people did not.

But in any case, the pressure of public opinion pressed towards TSMC, so TSMC's president, Zhang Zhongmou, immediately stood up and held a press conference.

Zhang Zhongmou said that stopping the continued acceptance of Geek Technology Company's chip foundry orders was to打击 SMIC.

The reason was that they believed Geek Technology Company was investing heavily in SMIC, allowing SMIC to have a large amount of funds to improve chip yield rates.

There was also a large amount of funds to research and develop the next generation of process technology, which seriously infringed upon TSMC's short-term and long-term interests.

So, for long-term considerations, they had to stop manufacturing chips for Geek Technology Company to avoid Geek Technology Company continuing to invest heavily in SMIC.

At the end, Zhang Zhongmou also stated that if Geek Technology Company was willing to abandon and discard SMIC's shares and not continue to invest in SMIC.

Then TSMC could continue to manufacture chips for Geek Technology Company, and everything would return to normal.

It must be said that, just looking at TSMC President Zhang Zhongmou's words, he really successfully whitewashed America.

After all, Geek Technology Company was indeed investing heavily in SMIC, and the most recent investment was quite astonishing, reaching an astonishing 200 million US dollars.

So, under years of continuous investment, Geek Technology Company has become a super shareholder of SMIC.

At least, in terms of the current shareholding ratio of SMIC, Geek Technology Company has quietly reached an astonishing 46%, only a few percentage points away from reaching a controlling stake.

So, in some respects, because of SMIC's relationship, there were indeed huge potential contradictions between TSMC and Geek Technology Company.

At this time, TSMC used SMIC as a reason to announce the cessation of chip manufacturing for Geek Technology Company, and this reason was superficially justifiable.

So, with TSMC President Zhang Zhongmou standing up, America also successfully whitewashed itself in front of global media and many consumers, successfully removing itself from the situation.

Global media and most people no longer associated this incident with America, and had no idea that the truth was as they had guessed.

It can only be said that public opinion is sometimes so funny, and it really doesn't take much effort to reverse public opinion.

Of course, many people still believe that the real culprit behind everything is actually America. Their reason is that although Geek Technology Company is a major shareholder of SMIC and has indeed invested heavily in SMIC, TSMC has no need to be so decisive and crazy.

After all, if TSMC does not manufacture chips, then Geek Technology Company will definitely find S company or other companies to manufacture chips.

Under such circumstances, it is better to continue to accept Geek Technology Company's chip foundry orders.

Thereby earning a lot of money from Geek Technology Company, and then using the money earned from Geek Technology Company to打击 SMIC.

After all, there is no need to go against money, and there is no need to be so decisive.

In addition, there is one last piece of evidence, and that evidence is that Geek Technology Company has not announced cooperation with S company.

This shows that S company has received hints and pressure from America, preventing them from accepting Geek Technology Company's chip foundry orders.

This is their conclusion, so they are quite indignant, constantly announcing and exposing their views and conclusions to others, so that more people know about this matter.

But unfortunately, although their views and conclusions have caused a lot of buzz, it must be admitted that the control of mainstream television media and internet media is not in their hands.

Their remarks can only circulate on a small scale. In the news that most ordinary people see, it is a commercial news about a semiconductor industry war in which America has been removed.

So America successfully hid behind the scenes, allowing TSMC to successfully take the blame and bear the anger of global consumers.
