It is good to be the chief executive of a company that's about to ship 500
million diapers in a single year. For one thing, you get to drive a golf
cart as fast as you want in your new 1,250,000-square-foot warehouse.
"Hang on!" says Marc Lore, putting the hammer down.

2018年年底，华为官方曾公布92家核心供应商名单，其中美国占到了33家。断供华为后
，芯片制造商应声下跌，英伟达和AMD均下跌约3%，而Lam Research下跌5.4%、美光科
技下跌4%、高通下跌6%。
之后是科技巨头，6月4日美国当地时间周一，谷歌股票下跌6.12%，其他科技巨头股票
也集体重挫，苹果下跌1.01%、亚马逊下跌4.6%、流媒体巨头奈飞下跌1.94%，而
Facebook下跌高达7.51%。粗略估计，一个月的时间，FAANG累计缩水近3000亿美元。
这虽是受美国政府掀起的反垄断调查影响，但不可否认华为事件的演变为这些巨头的未
来预期蒙上一层厚厚的阴霾。
而长远看，华为断供暴露的或许不只是国内技术的短板，还有掩藏在硅谷繁荣背后的迷
茫。
巨头的增长和利润危机
2013年，FAANG的市值还只有1.2万亿美元，而5年后已经翻了三倍到达4万亿美元。去年
8月3日，苹果市值一举冲破万亿关口，更是引得美国科技股群情激奋。但高光之下阴影
