Shockingly, a counterfeit factory has produced a 3-nanometer chip.

Chapter 348 Neither admits nor explains nor denies

So the U.S. Department of Commerce held an emergency press conference overnight, since the frozen assets had become a hot potato.

Unlock! Lose money! If you don't unlock, the risk of a circuit breaker continues to spread.

Obama could only have his spokesperson, Garnier, once again forcefully steer the conversation back to engine technology, saying it was a necessary control measure for national security.

What was originally a stepping stone has now become a reality.

And this time, it's not just tech stocks that are affected; defense stocks are also falling.

Wall Street traders voted with their feet again; after all, if they didn't have it, they could still negotiate, but now that they do, that's it...

At the same time, this directly triggered the circuit breaker!

When Obama heard the news, he dropped his pen to the ground.

The third time!

This hasn't happened in so many years, yet he triggered three circuit breakers in just one year. And if the freeze isn't lifted, market fear will continue to spread, and then...

This is enough to make him the first president in American history, and no one will surpass him for a long time to come.

"After so many days of sanctions, we've only confirmed one thing: they are indeed building engines."

"The president is indeed remarkable. With one executive order, he saved the United States trillions of dollars in losses and also obtained parameters of advanced engines from other countries."

"Oscar, you are absolutely the worst president in American history!"

But those weren't the worst off; the companies whose accounts had been frozen also joined forces to put pressure on them.

Colleagues who had initially stood with them also began revising their reports overnight, their previous confident assertions of the certainty of sanctions being shattered...

Now they can only say that they underestimated the technological strength of Chinese companies.

Within China, related information is all over the trending topics online.

#Transsion Smart Home Launch Event#

A small meeting was held in Shenyang Aircraft Corporation's office.

"The boss is talking about the engine all over the internet right now, so our smart home launch event has been overshadowed." Li Qing's tone was a little helpless.

She knew that the exposure of the aircraft engine would affect their popularity, but she didn't expect it to be this big.

Huang Tianya didn't attend this meeting, not because he didn't want to, but because he was busy fighting in Myanmar. He was determined to recoup any losses he had suffered...

As for the US blockade, it can block Huaxin's investment and Deerdis's investment, but it can't block all of Huaxin's smaller subsidiaries...

No rush.

Let them discuss the engine issue for a day or two; the hype will naturally die down.

The smart home product launch is coming up soon; let's start guiding the conversation back to the main topic tomorrow.

"How should we respond to the engine issue? Will there be an official statement?"

Shen Fei thought for a moment. All the screenshots on the internet were pixelated, designed to create a hazy, veiled effect, and there was currently no official confirmation...

"Don't release it. Neither admit nor deny, neither explain, let them guess?"

Li Qing, Liu Fang, and the others exchanged glances, somewhat hesitant, after all, this was something that could greatly boost morale.

"I know what you're thinking. We don't need one more voice transmission device. Besides, whatever they blocked, they'll get it back to us sooner or later. And Tianya can even make a little interest from this."

Everyone laughed; the boss had indeed meant "a little bit".

However, Liu Fang frowned: "What should we say when the media asks?"

"Just say that Transsion is a legally operating private enterprise that is not involved in military industry." Shen Fei smiled. "That's true. The engine project is now with New Power, which is a subsidiary of Huaxin Investment."

In terms of shareholding structure, they are several layers removed from ours; strictly speaking, we are indeed not involved in military technology.

Zhang Mingzhu also punched Shen Fei on the shoulder: "No, you're playing word games. Luckily, it was..."

Otherwise, someone as naive as me would be completely fooled by you.

Everyone else covered their mouths and laughed.

However, this is not playing word games; it's compliant with regulations.

After everyone had laughed for a while, Shen Fei tapped the table.

"The promotion of the smart home product launch is proceeding as normal, and there's no need to bring up the engine issue proactively; but since it's been exposed, it means that Dad has started taking action."

This further proves that our technology is not just hype.

I've already nodded. After all, no matter how advanced the technology of air conditioners, refrigerators, and washing machines is, it can't surpass that of engines.

Consumers might think that a company that can even manufacture engines can definitely make an air conditioner.

"Boss, this is an endorsement of trust, and it can be considered a small compensation to us."

"Yes, so it's not a bad thing."

Shen Fei nodded again: "Just handle it discreetly. Don't bring up the engine issue through official channels. Let netizens discuss it themselves and let the media dig into it."

We can just pretend we don't know.

Li Qing nodded and made a note in his notebook.

…………

At 5 p.m., all of Transsion Group's accounts posted a new Weibo post.

"July 15th, Shenzhen Bay Sports Center."

Transsion Smart Home: The answer to the future of living. See you there!

The accompanying image is a poster for a press conference, with a dark blue background, the outline of a house, and densely packed icons inside.

It's exactly the same as the one Shen Fei posted before.

But netizens in the comments section are still joking: "Air conditioner or engine? What are you guys trying to post?"

"I'll buy whatever they release."

"Mr. Shen, could you tell us more about the engine? I want to install a complete smart home system."

"Mr. Shen, could you please clarify the engine issue before selling air conditioners?"

Transsion has truly taken cross-industry collaboration to the extreme.

Cell phones, chips... and they're leaders in every industry they're in, hoping to bring down Musk's Starlink...

"Only mindless telepathic fans like you would praise Starlink. That thing is the true light of humanity."

True technology is what flies into space; it's not something a small engine can easily replicate.

"Oh, thank you upstairs, Ma Shengkaiyuan. By the way, when are you guys going...?"

At the same time, digital blogger Dami Review posted a Weibo post:

"I will definitely attend the Transsion Smart Home launch event, not because of smart home itself, but because Transsion's R&D capabilities have been proven by the engine project."

Would a company capable of manufacturing world-class aircraft engines be lacking in air conditioning technology? Would it be lacking in refrigerator technology? Would it be lacking in television technology? This is the power of brand endorsement!

It's not about finding celebrities to endorse it, or doing Google Ads; it's about proving itself with solid technology.

This kind of endorsement is more effective than any marketing!

Moreover, this endorsement is not just a verbal transmission, but also...

Finally, he handed out a small flag to prove that there were other people helping to endorse the message, and that this "noble lady" was of a rather high status.
