451: People all over the world are furious, Daxia takes action!

This also meant that Shuguang Mobile Phone, Shuguang Computer, and dawn household game console would be unable to produce a single product due to the lack of chips!

This Semiconductor Alliance was truly insidious and ruthless; it didn't leave Shuguang Semiconductor and Shuguang Technology any room to survive!

All the reporters present felt a chill down their spines at this thought, astonished and horrified by the Semiconductor Alliance’s methods.

"Mr. Bill Gates, will your Semiconductor Alliance allow Shuguang Technology to contract you for chip production?"

It was a London Daily reporter who asked the question at this moment.

"Naturally, it's impossible to continue manufacturing chips for Shuguang Technology!

After all, as I've already stated, our Semiconductor Alliance refuses to engage in any cooperation with multiple companies within the Dawnlight System.

This includes, of course, the act of manufacturing chips for Shuguang Technology!"

As he spoke, Bill Gates's lips curled into a faint smile, his eyes deep with insidiousness and ruthlessness.

"Whoa!"

The scene once again erupted in an uproar, with people lamenting the tragic future of Shuguang Technology!

"How can you do this? Your actions are already bordering on monopoly!"

It was a reporter from Daxia who shouted the question at this moment.

After anticipating the tragic future of Shuguang Technology, the Daxia reporter could no longer suppress the anger in his heart and directly pointed out the shamelessness of the other side.

However, facing the hysterical Daxia reporter, Bill Gates said with a cruel expression:

"Not cooperating with Shuguang Technology is our right; we have the right not to cooperate with any company in the Dawnlight System!"

"Clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap…"

The Aomei reporters present, upon hearing Bill Gates's words, applauded him, cheering his statement.

After all, Bill Gates was indeed correct; they did have the right not to cooperate with Shuguang Technology, it was their freedom.

In response, the Daxia reporters present naturally looked extremely grim.

In the time that followed, Bill Gates answered other questions from the reporters present, and then the press interview officially concluded.

As the reporters dispersed and left, Bill Gates's various remarks naturally quickly appeared in both domestic and overseas news reports.

For a time, Bill Gates's remarks caused an uproar among Global media; of course, for public opinion, it was almost entirely words of condemnation.

After all, for the Global public, while they might not buy Shuguang Technology's products, they absolutely did not want Shuguang Technology's products to disappear from the market.

Because competition leads to more benefits; if Shuguang Technology were to go bankrupt due to this ridiculous reason.

That would mean they wouldn't be able to enjoy more benefits in the future, nor would they be able to buy more powerful products at lower prices.

So, if Shuguang Technology were to go bankrupt for this ridiculous reason, people naturally found this reality unacceptable.

It can be said that as Bill Gates's words were reported by various media, the public image of the Semiconductor Alliance took a sharp turn for the worse.

A few days ago, the Global public was still praising the Semiconductor Alliance as a great business alliance, claiming that its emergence meant the development speed of semiconductors would accelerate several times over.

But now, with the appearance of Bill Gates's words, everyone realized that they had been overthinking everything.

Because the Semiconductor Alliance was actually an alliance that excluded dissenters and suppressed other companies through irregular means!

The Semiconductor Alliance did not come with good intentions, but with malice!

Its appearance actually represented a disaster!

Realizing this cruel reality, how could the Semiconductor Alliance's reputation among the Global public not plummet?

It can be said that in just a few days, the Semiconductor Alliance's reputation became utterly notorious.

It can be said that whenever people mentioned the Semiconductor Alliance, they would subconsciously spit.

But it was clear that the Global public's dislike for the Semiconductor Alliance had no effect, because people simply could not do without the Semiconductor Alliance.

After all, although the Semiconductor Alliance claimed to be the Semiconductor Alliance, it actually represented the Semiconductor Alliance excluding Shuguang Technology, and people simply had no way to leave the products and services of the Aomei Semiconductor Alliance.

So, even if the Semiconductor Alliance's reputation was completely ruined, it had no effect on the Semiconductor Alliance whatsoever!

At the same time, along with media public opinion, Shuguang Technology's stock price and market value also plummeted.

In less than a day after Bill Gates's remarks were made, Shuguang Technology's market value directly evaporated by over 130 billion US dollars!

On that day, its market value plummeted to over 350 billion US dollars!

In response, countless shareholders were so enraged they spat blood, exclaiming that Shuguang Technology's stock was simply too erratic.

Shuguang Technology's stock experienced a sharp drop and then a sharp rise every few months; those with weaker psychological resilience simply couldn't handle it.

Of course, considering Shuguang Technology's past stock experiences, many people not only did not withdraw at this time.

Many people, instead, took advantage of the market value plunge to buy Shuguang Technology's stock, preparing to make a profit then.

These people were almost all fans of Shuguang Technology; they believed that Shuguang Technology could research and produce its own photoresist, completely solving the chip crisis!

...

Daxia.

"What was their response?"

The speaker at this moment was a man with a serious countenance; his dignified appearance clearly indicated he was a man who had held a high position for many years.

"They claimed it was a private matter between enterprises, and they could not interfere with the normal operation of an enterprise."

"Normal operation?! What a 'normal operation'! Their arrogant faces are truly as usual."

Upon learning the result, the man with the serious face was enraged, as any clear-headed person knew what the Semiconductor Alliance was truly about.

And at this moment, their attitude was truly too embarrassing, so the man with the serious face was also angered by their arrogant stance.

"It's impolite not to reciprocate; since that's the case, we won't hold back."

There was a hint of anger in the eyes of the man with the serious face; originally, he had intended to reach a mutually satisfactory outcome through negotiation.

But the other side went too far; this was completely pushing the nascent semiconductor industry to its death, which naturally made people furious.

Receiving such an arrogant reply from the other side at this moment, even he, who had always remained neutral, was enraged, so he decided to do something.

After all, they couldn't continue to be so passive; if they did, the semiconductor industry would be completely ruined.

So, under these circumstances, the serious-faced middle-aged man naturally made the final decision.
