A country that has always touted privacy and security as sacrosanct is actually a major eavesdropper!
Indiscriminate monitoring from the leader to the user has really aroused public outrage!
Countless foreigners took to the streets to demonstrate and protest against Prism Gate.
But Lao Mi remained arrogant and refused to bow his head.
They were even forced to hand over Siteng, calling him a traitor!
All countries and regions are required not to provide asylum to them!
In this regard, Hong Kong Island sternly refused and insisted on hard work to the end.
Lao Mi's constant pressure further aroused public outrage.
This caused public opinion to boil:
"Monitoring top politicians, celebrities, businessmen, and billions of users is a naked provocation to human rights!"
"Lao Mi is so shameless. There is no lower limit. Privacy and security are sacred and inviolable."
"Rubbish Apple, trash Android, and trash Microsoft all have backdoors, and we are all running around naked."
"For privacy and security, I have changed my Xingyi phone!"
"What a great idea! Xingyi mobile phone is a Xia Guo mobile phone, Xia Guo system, Xia Guo chip. No matter how powerful Laomi is, she can't spy on it!"
"Yes, Apple is not safe, and other Android phones are not safe either. There may be secret doors to be monitored. But there is no need to worry about the Xingyi phone."
"I really envy the users of Xia Guo. I want to buy a Xingyi mobile phone that is safe and not afraid of monitoring, but it's a pity that it is not on sale in Xide!"
"It is true that Xingyi mobile phones are not sold globally, but you can find someone to buy parallel imports, but you have to pay extra."
"What's the point of paying more? For privacy and security, it's worth paying more."
"Yes, I have changed to Xingyi mobile phone, bought Xingyi tablet, and changed the TV to Xingyi TV."
"Me too, Xingyi Tablet and Xingyi TV are on sale globally. They are very good. Xingyi mobile phone is ready to be purchased as a parallel import."
"I'm going to Xia Country on a business trip next week, and I just happen to bring a few units back."
"Alas! When all brands are unsafe, fortunately there is Xingyi Technology and Xingyi Mobile."
"Using Xingyi's mobile phone is useless. Facebook, YouTube and Twitter are all monitored and have backdoors. As long as you use these software, it will still be leaked."
"Yeah, what should I do?"
"It's simple. I no longer need Facebook, Twitter, or YouTube. I now use Xingyi Mobile, Changchat, and Douyin. They are all products of Xingyi Technology. The servers are all in Xia Guo, and the NSA cannot monitor them."
"What a good idea. I'll also switch to Xingyi Technology's family bucket. By the way, is it useful to chat?"
“It’s very easy to use. It focuses on socializing with acquaintances. If you are not your friend, you can’t see any of your updates at all, which gives you a great sense of privacy!”
"Sounds great. Is Douyin easy to use?"
"TikTok is not about whether it is useful or not, but whether it is fun. There are all kinds of interesting short videos on it, including those from Xia Guo and some from Oumi. In short, you can find anything you are interested in."
"Then I want to give it a try."
"There are also Xingyi games, which are also very good. Recently I am playing "Star Hunters" and Xingyi TV's "Fitness Ring Adventure"."
""Fitness Ring Adventure"? Somatosensory game?"
"Yes, a fitness game developed by Xingyi Technology is controlled through a fitness ring. The fitness effect is very good. I don't even go to the gym."
"Xingyi mobile phones, Kunpeng chips, XOS systems, Xingyi games, Changchat, Douyin... are all made by Xingyi Technology? What a great company."
"It's like this. They are developing very fast, they are strong, and their products are unparalleled in the world. It is said that not many people in Xia country use iPhones. The performance is too poor, so they all buy Xingyi phones. iPads can't be sold, so they all buy Xingyi phones.
flat!"
"This is how it should be. Those junk companies that cooperate with the NSA to invade our privacy and spy on us should go bankrupt."
"That's right, let's boycott these garbage companies together, buy Xingyi Technology's products and use Xingyi Technology's software!"
"Did you see that at the press conference of President Sid, the mobile phone has been replaced by Xphone 2pro from Xingyi Technology!"
"I also saw that at the press conference a few days ago, iPhone 5 was used, and today it is xphone 2pro!"
“The Gaul leader’s Samsung mobile phone was also replaced by an xphone 2pro.”
"Even the tablet used by Sid's spokesperson has been changed from an iPad to a Xingyi tablet!"
"Can I not change it? I have been monitored for 6 years. If you want me to change it, I will change it."
"The leaders have been changed, what are we waiting for?"
"Hurry up and change, unless you are stupid enough to continue to be monitored."
"It's best to replace your mobile phones, tablets, and even TVs. Don't worry, Xingyi mobile phones, Xingyi tablets, and Xingyi TVs are all better and more powerful."
"Yes, all social software should be replaced by Changchao. Let's boycott the iPhone and buy Xingyi phones!"
…
Suddenly, the number of overseas users of Changchao and Douyin began to increase rapidly.
When Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube can all be monitored, Changchat and Douyin have become the best alternatives.
Wang Yi was very surprised by this.
This wave of prism doors not only stimulated the sales of Xingyi mobile phones, Xingyi tablets, and Xingyi TVs, but also increased the number of users of Changchao and Douyin!
It’s really a win!
More importantly, the wave of boycotts of the iPhone has spread from overseas.
Especially at the press conference, the mobile phones of heads of state of several countries changed from iPhone and Samsung to Xingyi mobile phones, and foreign people were not calm.
They started buying Xingyi mobile phones, Xingyi tablets and Xingyi TVs one after another.
Fortunately, Xingyi Tablet and Xingyi TV have become internationalized and are available in flagship stores and Xingyi International Mall in various countries.
But Xingyi mobile phone is not available yet, so we can only buy parallel imports.
There is no surprise. Xingyi mobile phones are selling well all over the world, and parallel imports are sold out.
Parallel import prices have been rising all the way.
For example, the price of xphone 2pro starts at 5,299 US dollars in China. The overseas price used to be US$1,100 to US$1,200, which is equivalent to seven to eight thousand RMB. Now it has risen to US$1,600-1,700, which is more than RMB 10,000!
However, even though the price has nearly doubled, people are still grabbing it like crazy!
We are very concerned about privacy and security.
Of course, some foreigners think that xphone 2pro is too expensive, so they buy parallel imports of xphone 1, xphone 1pro and xphone 2.
As a result, the parallel import prices of these old mobile phones have skyrocketed.
For example, the parallel imports of xphone 1 used to be in stock and could not sell much in a month. Now they are sold like crazy overseas!
The price is 899 US dollars, which is nearly 6,000 yuan even if calculated based on the current exchange rate of less than 7!
You know, the domestic price of Xphone 1 is only more than 2,000 points, which is a pure bargain price.
In response, all the major parallel importers went crazy.
Really, while crazily shipping goods to make money, at the same time contacting the country, through various channels, frantically making payments and placing orders!
No matter what model, no matter what price, as long as they are available, I want them all.
Pay in full!
No way, it’s too profitable!
Profit exceeds 100%!
It would be weird if he wasn't crazy.
There are also those scalpers from the Xia Kingdom who could not survive in the country before, and many of them went overseas to work as parallel importers.
Nowadays, we are seizing the opportunity, making crazy money and placing crazy orders.
For example, Fu Zheming didn't get into college, so his parents sent him abroad to get a degree, thinking that after graduation he would be assigned to work in an institutional unit and have a solid job.
As a result, Fu Zheming didn't like jobs that were too stable, and he didn't like jobs within the system, so he simply became a scalper.
Now it has become even bigger. We cooperate with our cousin Fu Zheyuan, who ships domestically, and he uses the channels he established while studying abroad to ship abroad.
The cousins ​​cooperate and earn more in one month than their parents earn in a year.
As soon as the Prism scandal broke out, Fu Zheming asked his cousin to place a large order.
Taking advantage of this market trend, you are really making money.
Inside the apartment.
Looking at the beautiful knives lying on the ground, Fu Zheming smiled from ear to ear and decisively made a long-distance call:
"Cousin, place an order, keep ordering, and ship it as soon as possible!"
"???Didn't the last batch just arrive?"
"There aren't many left. I sold some myself and gave some to other dealers."
"Okay, then I'll find a dealer to buy another batch."
"Buy it, buy more this time, and send it out through multiple channels at the same time."
"Brother, I'm worried that new phones will be released in September. Will I lose my money if I buy too many?"
"What does it have to do with us when we release a new phone? It won't be launched globally, and parallel imports of new phones won't be available in October. It won't delay our sales. What's more, with the power of the prism door, if you order too much, you won't be able to last until October or September.
I can’t hold it!”
"Okay, then I'll place more orders."
Fu Zheyuan then immediately contacted the dealer he had cooperated with and placed an order in full.
After receiving the money, the dealer immediately arranges shipment from the warehouse and contacts the factory to continue placing orders.
These parallel importers have large orders, tens of thousands of units at a time.
This time, all models were put together, and 100,000 units were sold.
On average, a mobile phone earns 300 yuan, which is a profit of 30 million yuan.
This deal is definitely a bargain!
Similar scenes appeared all over the country.
Many dealers have received large orders from overseas parallel importers, most of which are super large orders ranging from tens to hundreds of thousands of units.
Every dealer is making a lot of money.
As for Xingyi Technology, it makes more money.
During normal sales, one model only sells 200,000 to 700,000 units a day.
But now, parallel importers place large orders every day, resulting in huge orders every day.
Seeing this situation, Zhu Changlin came to Wang Yi anxiously:
"Chairman, the order has exploded again. Now I don't know how to make a decision!"
"Is it an overseas parallel importer placing orders?" Wang Yi hit the nail on the head.
After the Prism scandal broke out, Zhu Changlin has placed additional orders several times. Logically speaking, he can basically meet the sales volume in the domestic market. But now he is still seeing huge orders. There is only one explanation.
It exploded overseas!
Parallel importer's order!
"Yes, Xingyi mobile phones are now selling like hotcakes, not only domestically, but also overseas! Many overseas parallel importers have started purchasing in large quantities through various channels. The starting price is tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands.
." Zhu Changlin said.
After all, it has to be smuggled and sent out through certain special channels. If there are fewer orders, it is not cost-effective.
For example, if you find a reliable shipping route, it is so far and the sailing time is not short. It is not cost-effective unless you get a few more containers.
Zhu Changlin continued: "The problem now is these parallel importers. Their orders are concentrated and large, causing our production capacity to be tight. If we add orders frantically to meet these production capacities, we are afraid that next month, overseas production capacity will be reduced, and we will be
Overcapacity! I don’t even know what to do now.”
Wang Yi understood Zhu Changlin's concerns.
Three words, hysteresis!
Prism Gate broke out and Xingyi Technology added orders. This is normal.
The domestic consumer market is mostly consumed by individual users, which is very stable. The order quantity is determined according to the sales volume, so there is no problem and there will not be too much inventory.
However, overseas parallel importers place centralized orders, which is unstable.
For example, the overseas sales of the Xphone 2pro last month were only 3 million.
This month, the Prism Gate broke out. Overseas parallel importers increased their orders intensively, and the total overseas orders reached 9 million units!
But what about next month?
Maybe it dropped to 5 million units.
If we add orders based on the overseas orders of 9 million units this month, and the overseas orders drop significantly next month, there will be an inventory of 4 million units!
A new phone is about to be released, and there are still 4 million units of old phones in stock, which is a big problem.
But if the stock is prepared based on the sales volume of 5 million units, under the influence of the prism door, if it explodes again next month, that will also be a problem.
Hysteresis is a very troublesome thing.
Especially in overseas markets, where parallel importers make concentrated purchases, the lag is even more serious, and there is no stable market situation to refer to.
Zhu Changlin didn't even know what to do.
Wang Yisi thought: "Chang Lin, the impact of the Prism Gate will not be overcome in the short term, but the explosion of orders in the overseas market will not always be so terrifying. If it doesn't work, we will make a compromise and pick a middle number for overseas orders next month."
In overseas markets, stocking 9 million units next month is too much, but 5 million units is too few.
Then let's compromise and get seven million.
In this way, if the market is good, there won't be a big gap.
If the market goes bad, I can afford to have an extra one or two million in inventory.
"Okay, Chairman, then I'll make a compromise." Zhu Changlin nodded, this is a good idea.
The golden mean may not be the optimal solution, but it must be the safest.
There is no way, the domestic market can still be predicted to a certain extent, but overseas parallel import sales cannot be predicted at all.
In the end, Zhu Changlin decided that next month’s overseas parallel import orders would be based on 7 million units for the xphone 2pro.
The sales volume of xphone 2 is based on 5 million units, and the sales volume of xphone 1pro is based on 3 million units.
A compromise.
"The essential problem is that there is still no internationalization!" Wang Yi sighed, why is it so passive when it comes to comprehensive internationalization?
"Yes, we have bought 30% of Nokia's patents, and the patents of several other parties are still under negotiation."
Zhu Changlin elaborated: "Although the progress is good, it still needs time to grind slowly. Unless we accept the other party's high price and quickly promote this matter, we can achieve internationalization early and rush to launch the new machine in September..."
Wang Yi waved his hand: "Next year, maybe. Once the Prism Gate comes out, old Americans will jump over the wall. We have already taken the biggest advantage. If we take the opportunity to go international at this time, we will definitely be able to sell like crazy, but there is also a high probability that we will be directly hammered to death."
!Lao Mi will jump over the wall in a hurry!"
Zhu Changlin was startled: "That's right. If there was no prism door, then Lao Mi might not be impatient. Now the prism door has made Lao Mi very passive. The sales of Apple and Samsung have plummeted, and users have rushed to buy Xingyi mobile phones. If this is the case at this time
If we go international, we will definitely become an instant success and directly seize the global market of Apple, Samsung, and Nokia, and even hope to become the number one in the world. But Lao Mi will definitely beat us to death!"
Wang Yi knows very well that in his previous life, he was far ahead by surpassing Apple and Samsung, ranking first in the world in terms of market share, and then he was destroyed!
The same is true for Xingyi mobile phones.
There is no prism door. After Xingyi Mobile becomes internationalized, it will not be a big problem even if it competes with Apple, Samsung, Nokia and other brands, even if it is third in the world or even second in the world.
But there is a prism door. As long as Xingyi mobile phone internationalizes, it will quickly become the world's number one, and it will be completely bombed.
This is not a good thing.
It would be terrifying if the node for the explosion hammer were advanced from 2018 to 2015. If it were advanced to this year, it would be really useless.
“Let’s leave the internationalization issue to next year. Just in time, preparations will start early next year. In March, Xingyi Mobile X1 will be internationalized, with a full screen + lifting camera, which will definitely surprise the world!”
At that time, the influence of Prism Gate had declined a lot, and globalization started in March. Next year, the annual sales volume of Xingyi mobile phones will not be the first in the world.
Then the matter of exploding hammers can probably be postponed until the year after next.
After Apple's lobbying, congressmen proposed that the Ministry of Commerce of the United States investigate and release the results, and the first round of crackdowns was officially launched, which would be the year after tomorrow.
There will be a change of office in 2017, so we can still take a breather, and the full blow will be postponed to 2018-2019.
In this way, Xingyi Technology will have several years of development time.
If we go international now, then the first wave of crackdowns will come next year, and there are still several years before the change of leadership. Maybe we will be completely busted before the change of leadership.
That's a waste.
High-end photoresist, large silicon wafers, EDA industrial software, and photolithography machines all take time to break through.
Sometimes, necessary restraint is still necessary.
As long as Xingyi Mobile is not internationalized, there will be no sanctions from the other party.
No one sells it to Laomi, so you impose sanctions on others. This is not what humans do.
Laomi also needs some face.
Zhu Changlin nodded: "The chairman is still thoughtful, so I will collect the patent first."
"Well, go ahead, you don't have to go global this year, but you have to prepare everything you need to. Next year's global layout, on March 1st, Xingyi X1 will be released overseas, officially starting the road to globalization!"
"good!"
Of course, Wang Yi and other high-level officials will not go then.
Just arrange for the overseas director of Xingyi Technology to attend.
There is no way, Wang Yi is afraid that he will not be able to come back, or that the plane will explode...
The end of July is graduation season.
Many graduates are taking advantage of this opportunity to submit resumes and look for jobs.
And Xingyi Technology, which has deep pockets and unlimited prospects, has undoubtedly become the best choice.
Many graduates from prestigious schools have to wait for Xingyi Technology to get offers from major BAT companies!
As long as Xingyi Technology wants it, BTA's offer can be rejected immediately.
In particular, some semiconductor elites studied under professors from famous universities and participated in the autumn recruitment of Xingyi Semiconductor.
Some went through four rounds, but were still rejected in the end.
Some even took internships, but in the end they didn’t stay.
This caused many people to collapse and huddle together for warmth and analyze the reasons.
Song Xin, Sun Haisheng's master's degree graduate, was one of them. When depressed, he decisively complained in the group:
"I really don't understand. I passed four rounds of interviews at Xingyi Semiconductor, but I still didn't get the offer in the end. They said it was a job change. How could this happen?"
"Junior Brother Song, you have also been swiped? I have been swiped too. I have been an intern for a month."
"Senior Brother Wu, you have a master's degree and Ph.D. of 985, and you were intern for one month, but you were also dismissed? Didn't I say that everyone is optimistic about you and all the tasks have been assigned to you?"
"Originally, yes, but who would have thought that I would suddenly be notified of failure, just five days ago."
"Me too five days ago! What do you mean? The collective has been laid off? Xingyi Semiconductor is no longer hiring?"
"Let's recruit. Several other doctors in our group have all received offers, but I was the only one who was rejected."
"Our group is also..."
"I was also swiped. You were swiped for chip R&D, but I applied for the Xingyi Semiconductor Marketing Department! I have a 985 master's degree, and I went to Xingyi Technology to sell chips, and I was swiped. It's really crazy!"
"Junior sister Xu, your marketing department has been fooled? This can't be done!"
"Yeah, I'm confused too. You can say that I'm not strong enough when it comes to chip research and development, but in the marketing department, I'm more than capable! They don't even want me to have a 985 bachelor's degree if they want to retain undergraduate students! I'm not bad at good looks or a good drinker!"
"What's going on? It feels like our division is being targeted?"
"I don't understand."
Just when everyone was confused, a senior who had been silent suddenly spoke:
"Stop discussing it. This matter is not Xingyi Technology's fault, it is our mentor's fault."
"What's wrong with Teacher Sun?" Everyone was even more confused.
"Instructor Sun once joined some people in condemning Xingyi Technology and took the lead in obstructing the localization of lithography machines. It was considered that he had ulterior motives... Therefore, instructor Sun's students were banned by Xingyi Technology."
"Ah? How could this happen? Is it reliable?"
"I don't know if it's reliable or not. I just heard what others said."
The man spoke vaguely, but the whole group fell silent.
This is eighty percent true.
Subsequently, more and more news broke out.
Similar incidents occurred not only in Sun Haisheng's sect, but also in many sects.
All students were rejected, and those who were planning to give offers suddenly declined.
Then news came out that the scientific research funding applied for by a certain professor was supposed to be issued, but it was rejected at the last moment...
More and more news came out, and everyone understood what was going on.
For a time, these professors were livid, and their students were in great pain, and their employment was a problem.
These days, there are not many major domestic semiconductor companies.
Once Xingyi Semiconductor refuses to accept it, other companies will hesitate again and again.
Xingyi Technology is worried that their tutors’ buttocks are crooked and their students are being brought into a crooked position due to too much contact with foreign countries. Other domestic semiconductor companies are also worried!
Once there is a leak, the losses will be huge.
Outsiders don't know about these things, but people inside the circle know them very well.
This caused Sun Haisheng and others great pain.
If students are not employed well, their faces will be ruined.
He couldn't apply for funding, had no results, was stuck in employment, and no students were willing to follow him.
The students who had originally defected to Sun Haisheng began to quickly cut off each other and kept them at a distance for fear of being implicated.
As a result, it will be more difficult to recruit graduate students next year, as no students will be willing to follow them.
But Sun Haisheng knew that this was just the beginning.
Once funds cannot be applied for, scientific research has no results, and students cannot be recruited, the school will not spend money to support them and let them continue to occupy the establishment.
On the contrary, their school may kick them out next year!
However, the storm came faster than expected.
In early August, Sun Haisheng received a notice from the school that his enrollment quota for the next semester would be cancelled, and his contract would not be renewed after expiration...
"How heartless!" Sun Haisheng sighed, why didn't he understand what the school meant?
Just to avoid paying liquidated damages, I didn't fire him directly.
"But it's okay, I'm still listed in several companies, so it won't stop me from making money!"
"There are books that have been published. They will be printed again next month, so they will be sold by then!"
Chapter completed!
