When Fidel arrived at the Magic City from Los Angeles for more than a dozen hours, the night view of the city fascinated him. This place was once known as the "Paris in the East", but now Paris is dwarfed by it.

After walking out of the airport, someone came to pick him up. A fat man stepped forward and hugged Fidel, "Ah..., my dear friend, I'm so happy to see you. It's been a long time since I met someone who can talk."

The fat man's name is Chuck, a former Cia employee, has worked many jobs and has a wide range of connections and channels. He has been engaged in certain banned smuggling activities in the Magic City over the years. The reason why Fidel contacted him was because he hoped to use his network of relationships.

When the two got into the car, Fidel greeted him, 'How are you doing recently'. Chuck waved his hand, shook his head and said unhappily: "It's terrible, it's really terrible."

"I thought you were in a glorious life." Fidel only laughed and said with a chuckle.

But Chuck started the car and said seriously: "Fidel, I'm serious. My condition is terrible. Now I can only dance in the nightclub with my girl every day, or brag everywhere if I do nothing. But I haven't had a big business for more than a year.

Now I can only smuggle some banned goods for Beibang, or find ways to get some good things for Persians in the Middle East. But these families are poor, and they can't make me make a lot of money. Oh, by the way, even Persians have stopped looking for me recently, which makes me very upset."

There is a blockade in this world, and some people smuggle for high profits. Chuck stayed in the Magic City and found a way to sell non-sale products from Europe, America, Japan and other countries to rabbits. But his business has declined sharply in the past year because his biggest customer abandoned him.

"I used to find a way to bring a few kilograms of high-grade carbon fiber to the rabbit government every month, but they no longer purchased from me since two years ago." Chuck opened the conversation and complained one after another.

"I bet that the satellites launched by the rabbit use the carbon fiber you provide, and you helped them a lot. Cia really deserves to send you to prison." Fidel teased.

"Yes, that's right." Chuck laughed a few times and scolded hatefully: "I don't know what happened. Rabbit opened up the channel for direct purchase from the foot basin "Tongli" company. The same is true for the "Tiren" company. They buy hundreds of kilograms each time, or even tons of purchases.

I secretly investigated that in order to cover up the fact that the company's performance growth last year, Tori even killed two financial personnel who tried to report the matter. And in order to bleach the income, their senior executives also found ways to launder money. Those bastards made the profits that originally belonged to me."

Chuck slapped the steering wheel with hatred, and Fidel asked back, "No one reported this?"

"Yes, but they are all dead. The rabbit's national security guard is protecting this smuggling line. One of my subordinates was hacked to death on the streets of Tokyo because of investigation. The police in the foot basin said that he died in a gang dispute. I was so scared that I quickly fled the foot basin.

There must be a big secret here, but I dare not investigate it anymore. If I do anything randomly, I will become a hunting target.

What makes this ridiculous is that the past blockade forced rabbits to develop their own carbon fibers. But now, after you can easily buy high-grade carbon fibers from foot basins, rabbits actually slowed down the technological development of the domestic carbon fiber industry."

Chuck was smiling bitterly, but Fidel felt that the rabbit was penetrating into the foot basin became deeper and deeper. He continued to ask, "Is there anything else? It's strange."

Chuck shrugged and sneered, "Strange? There are so many strange things. There are so many stories in my belly. For example, recently the rabbit created an intelligent doctor, and something happened to be related to it.

The best lithography machine in the world is made by Dutch Asml. Due to the restrictions of the Vassenna Agreement, rabbits cannot buy the latest lithography machine to make chips."

Fidel naturally understood the WASSENANA Agreement. This was the continuation of the Batumi Agreement back then, and it was a targeted technical barrier. As long as it was something that the rabbit urgently needed, the signing country of the WASSENANA Agreement would not sell it. The more the enemy did not sell it, the more the rabbit wanted to buy it.

In terms of lithography machines, Rabbit's method is to cooperate with Belgian microelectronics research agency IEC to purchase the Asml lithography machine they used for five years, which complies with the provisions of the Vasenner Agreement. However, in five years, it is two or three generations behind in the semiconductor field.

"Do you know? This business is very easy to do, and the Belgians are so happy that they easily make a fortune from it. But since last year, rabbit chip manufacturers no longer buy Belgian erotic goods."

This kind of story is very interesting, and Fidel was very engrossed. When Chuck paused, he asked back: "Has the rabbit's technology been breaking forward?"

Every time the rabbit's technology breaks forward a little, the WASSONA protocol will be slightly changed. For example, on a lithography machine, when the Magic City Optoelectronics Institute develops a 180-nanometer process, the WASSONA protocol will be stuck in 90 nanometers. If it gets ninety nanometers, it will be stuck in 60 nanometers.

However, this time... Chuck shook his head and said, "It's not as simple as a technological breakthrough, it's a flying over. The Belgians originally thought that the rabbit had a breakthrough in technology and wanted to lower the blockade standards and sell the old machines.

But the rabbit directly said that they wanted nothing, and even the latest ten-nanometer lithography machine. The Belgians paid all the goods in their hands. They furiously asked the Vasenal Commission to investigate the matter, wanting to know who provided the rabbit with equipment behind the scenes, causing them to lose money.

But the investigation result was that no one sold it. No one knew what happened? The Belgians did not sell the lithography machine they had when they lowered their prices, and the rabbit didn't negotiate at all, just said no.

But at this time, Rabbit announced that it would skip the current mainstream 14 nanometers, 10 nanometers or even 5 nanometers and directly launch the three-nanometer lithography process. They claimed that the new wafer fab is under construction and it is said that it will be put into production in two years."

Fidel has been in trouble in the past two years, but he has not paid attention to news about lithography machines. But he also knows that semiconductors are rare and have not stood in first-class industries. Lithography machine technology is more than ten years behind the world's advanced level.

Among the products imported by Rabbit every year, mid-to-high-end chips are the largest part of the money. If this thing is caught up or even surpassed by Rabbit, the fun will be very big. The geopolitical structure will be reshuffled.

Every country in the world is like a rabbit, but in fact, the rabbit family can do anything.

Some countries and regions rely on a certain industry to support their citizens. For example, the booze country relies on shipping to drive finance, for example, South Korea relies on semiconductors and shipbuilding to make a strong country, and for example, a certain island in the southeast relies on semiconductors and..., the fraud industry is scrambling to live.

If Rabbit opens up the industrial chain of chip manufacturing, it will not be a matter of occupying the domestic market, but will inevitably dump it on a large scale. Many countries and regions will not be able to make a fuss, but they still want to be lucky? Go to hell!

He just arrived in the Magic City and was beaten up before all investigations began. Fidel realized that Chuck's description was extremely serious, "Is this news reliable?"

Chuck shook his head and said, "The rabbits are full of unproven news. No one knows whether they have really made a leap in chip manufacturing technology. The new wafer fab has not even been exposed.

However, it is a fact that Belgium’s second-hand lithography machines cannot be sold anymore. This situation even implicates the Dutch ASML, and all countries in the entire semiconductor industry are worried."

Chuck said it could not be confirmed, but there was already a lot of indirect evidence. Fidel did not expect that he would face such a bad situation as soon as he landed. It seemed that there were still many "surprises" waiting for him next.
