Chapter 547 The power of prism gate!

"It must be selling like hot cakes! The Prism Gate has just been released and so many people are buying it. In a few days, when everyone knows about it, we don't know what will happen."

Sun Haisheng and the other three were filled with emotion, their expressions were extremely complicated:

"Yeah, we should hurry up and get in line, but we don't know how long we will have to wait in line."

“You can place an order online and have the Ele.me rider deliver the goods to your door.”

"That's even slower. Look, the riders are already very busy. It will take more than two hours. Keep queuing!"

After a long while, one person spoke:
"This incident is really embarrassing. How will it end?"

"Alas, this is a problem. We have written a joint letter, but in the end the clowns turned out to be us!"

"The most difficult thing is our future situation."

"What do you mean?"

"This time we boycotted the development of lithography machines and condemned Wang Yi because we thought the village was short of money and should give priority to military research and development. But do others think so?"

"Are you saying that some people are running dogs and are resisting because they are afraid that we will break through? That's not the case, right?"

"It's hard to say. I guess some people took money from Apple or Qualcomm."

"That makes sense. Xingyi Technology develops its own chips, and Qualcomm is the one that suffers the most. They will naturally try every means to prevent the localization of lithography machines and chips. If all lithography machines are made in China, how can they be banned in the future?"

"That's a big deal!"

"It's not just a big deal. I'm afraid that because of these people, we will all be suspected."

“It shouldn’t be that serious…” Sun Haisheng’s face turned pale and he looked unwell.

"Why not? This incident will make all of us suspicious. It will be difficult from now on."

"The first bird to stick its head out gets shot, especially if it's someone like us who makes a mistake and gets killed!"

"Ugh!"

With a sigh, the four of them seemed to have seen the future.

It will probably be difficult to apply for scientific research funding in the future.

Unless there are particularly outstanding results.

But most scientific research does not have such outstanding results...

It's called Edison's trial and error method.

The difference is that Edison failed 99 times and finally succeeded.

Many people fail 99 times and still fail in the end, so they just give up...

In this case, their research and development funds will be in trouble, especially for projects that have little prospects and few results, they probably can forget about it.

"Alas! But we opposed the development of lithography machines before only for the sake of the overall situation." Sun Haisheng sighed with an innocent attitude.

"Haha, who knows?" another person snorted coldly.

Then someone spoke up: "The three of us were framed and used as pawns. But Professor Sun, you took the initiative to jump out, didn't you? Was it for the greater good or for the U.S. dollars? Who knows?"

"You guys!" Sun Haisheng was furious, but he felt a little guilty.

Some of those involved in this action were truly considering the overall situation. They felt that it was inappropriate to spend hundreds of billions to develop outdated lithography machines when they haven't even built a purely domestically-made aircraft carrier.

But some people simply took money from Europe and America and deliberately prevented the localization of lithography machines, thus cutting off the path to localization of chips.

Next, Europe, America, Japan and South Korea will enter the EUV era. The process technology will continue to improve and make breakthroughs. In a few years, we will be able to fully break through the process below 7 nanometers.

However, Xiaguo cannot buy EUV lithography machines, and its process technology will be stuck above 7 nanometers.

By then, it will be completely outdated.

But now, it seems difficult.

If this isn't done well, it will be hard to get US dollars.

Since we have been targeted, it will be difficult to defraud scientific research funds in the future!
Adding insult to injury!
Sun Haisheng was filled with emotion and his face was extremely gloomy.

However, if we can find an opportunity to infiltrate Xingyi Semiconductor and steal some core information, we can make a lot of US dollars!
Sun Haisheng spoke slowly, and a bold idea emerged.

But what they didn't know was that as soon as Sun Haisheng left, Mr. Zhao called over a confidant:
"Investigate who else was involved in this incident besides these four. Investigate every one of them thoroughly. If there are any suspects, just keep an eye on them and don't make any moves. Play the long game and catch the big fish."

"Then it's okay?"

“Just because there are no problems doesn’t mean there are no problems. Just because there are no problems now doesn’t mean there will be no problems in the future. Just ignore it for now. Unless the project is extremely important, and is progressing well and producing significant results, continue to approve it.”

"Okay, then what about the other people's expenses..."

Mr. Zhao smiled faintly: "Just continue to apply as you should, and pass the preliminary review. Keep them stable first, and just wait for the final review!"

"Yes!" The subordinates wrote down everything.

Money needs to be spent on research and development in all aspects, and the village’s funds are very tight, so naturally they have to be well controlled.

Naturally, we must be extremely cautious when dealing with those who have problems or are suspected of having problems.

All we can say is that they have destroyed their own path.

After his subordinates left, Mr. Zhao was filled with emotion: "Fortunately, the Prism Gate broke out, otherwise I don't know how many people would oppose it."

There is no way, the current mainstream view is still military priority.

The simplest thing is, which one should be given priority, a purely domestically-made aircraft carrier or a lithography machine?

Most people feel that the former takes precedence.

Military security comes first!
This view is correct, very correct.

But Mr. Zhao thinks that lithography machines are equally important.

Purely domestically-produced aircraft carriers need to be developed, and lithography machines also need to be developed.

So he fully supports it!

Xingyi Technology Headquarters.

Jian Ziyan took a list and approached Wang Yi: "Chairman, the list has been finalized. There are 32 experts and professors in total, and one of them sold them all!"

Wang Yi's face turned cold: "All those listed above are blacklisted by Xingyi Technology Group and will never cooperate with them. And their students and relatives are all banned and will never be hired!"

"Yes!"

How many of these 32 experts really believe that military priority is the key and that is why they are obstructing the localization of lithography machines?

How many of them took US dollars and deliberately caused trouble?

Wang Yi couldn't tell the difference, and was too lazy to tell the difference.

Directly ban it completely.

Not only are they banned, but their students will also never be hired.

There is no way, as long as their butts are crooked, their students may also have crooked butts.

Although it is not absolute, it is still possible.

Many industries require people to lead, and the same is true for being a spy.

Previously, Professor Han arranged his beloved disciple to work in Xingyi Technology, where he stole some secrets and leaked them to Qualcomm.

Fortunately, Wang Yi was well prepared and the things he stole were all fake secrets, otherwise he would have been in big trouble.

You can guard against thieves day and night, but it is difficult to guard against thieves in your own home.

The only solution is to not hire anyone, anyone who is close to or has a close relationship with these 32 experts and professors.
I would rather kill the wrong person than let him go.

There is no room for the Virgin Mary in this situation.

In fact, this kind of collective punishment is very normal.

It’s like a student from a certain school got a job at a Fortune 500 company, but the company ran away with the money. From then on, the school was blacklisted and no students from that major were accepted!
It is really the predecessor's own fault that brings tragedy to the successors.

The same is true for these thirty-two professors.

They have blocked the way!

Not long after, Zhu Changlin also walked in: "Chairman, all products are hot-selling online and offline, even more popular than 618!"

"Not only are the Xphone 2 Pro and the first generation of the Ultrawide selling like hot cakes, but even the discontinued Xphone 1 is selling like hot cakes. Many regions have run out of stock. I guess the stock clearance campaign can be ended early."

"Very good, after clearing out the inventory, xphone 1 is officially over. In a few months, xphone 1pro will also be officially over after clearing out the inventory." Wang Yi said with a smile.

Once the Prism Gate broke out, everyone knew that domestic products are better.

They immediately rushed to buy the Xingyi mobile phone.

As the cheapest Xingyi mobile phone, although the Xphone 1 is old, it is attractively priced at just over two thousand yuan.

Many people don’t have high requirements for performance, want privacy and security, but don’t want to spend four or five thousand yuan, so xphone 1 becomes the best choice.

Especially when buying a gift for an elder, although the Unbounded phone is cheaper, it always feels not presentable enough.

Although the Xphone 1 is an old model, it is at least from the Xingyi brand, which is well-known and prestigious!

Just like giving Moutai as a gift, is it just because it tastes good?
"Once the Prism scandal broke out, sales in July stabilized, and so did sales in August and September." Wang Yi was in a good mood:
"Especially the 3G models. They will be shipped in large quantities for a few months due to the Prism scandal, and then they will clear the inventory. The next step is the 4G era. We will arrange a production suspension plan. After selling out the 3G models this year, we will stop production next year and fully upgrade to 4G models."

"Okay, Chairman, but the 3G models have been discontinued. Will there be fewer models next year? How about keeping a few?" Zhu Changlin couldn't help asking.

Wang Yi waved his hand and said, "We will not keep the 3G flagship phone. We will go global next year. 4G has been available overseas for several years. 3G will definitely not sell well."

"Yes, 3G mobile phones are unsalable in many developed countries." Zhu Changlin nodded. There was no solution to this problem, so he had to switch to 4G.

Wang Yi continued, "There will be no shortage of new models. Don't forget, next year's Xingyi X1 full-screen phone will have two models. A 5.0-inch standard version and a 5.5-inch plus large-screen version. Add to that the Xphone 3 in September this year and the Xphone 3 Pro in September next year. There will be four new Xingyi phones and three new Wujie phones, which is more than enough to sell!"

"That's good." Zhu Changlin changed the subject: "I did some research on the crazy hot sales of Xphone 1 this time. Another reason is that some users like small screens. Especially Apple users, they are used to small screens and feel that large screens are hard to hold, so they rushed to buy the 4.3-inch Xphone 1 and 4.7-inch Xphone 1 Pro."

"So..." Wang Yi fell into deep thought: "User habits that have been developed over a long period of time are difficult to change in a short period of time. This is indeed a problem."

The iPhone has always been 4.0, even the upcoming iPhone 5s has a small 4.0-inch screen.

After using 4.0-inch iPhones for so many years, it is hard for these Apple users to adapt to the 5-inch iPhone 2 and iPhone 2 Pro. After using them for a while, you will find that the big screen is really good.

The problem is that many small-screen users cannot accept a 5-inch screen at the beginning!

"And our Xphone 3 is 5.5 inches, which is even bigger. I'm worried that Apple won't be able to accept it. This will affect sales!" Zhu Changlin added.

Wang Yi nodded: "Your idea makes sense. So, Changlin, the Xphone 1 Pro has not been discontinued yet. It has a 4.7-inch narrow frame, which is about the same size as the 4.0-inch wide frame iPhone 5. Guide Apple users who like small screens to buy the Xphone 1 Pro. When the time comes, make a display, and the promotional pitch is the same size, but with a bigger screen."

"Okay!" Zhu Changlin responded. This is considered precision marketing.

Wang Yi continued, "In addition, the 5.5-inch Xphone 3 will indeed discourage some Apple users and users who like small screens. So, we can make the 5.5-inch Xphone 3 into the Xphone 3 Plus, and then make a 5-inch Xphone 3. In terms of time, the Xphone 3 may not be released in time, so we can pre-sell it temporarily and put it on the market in October or even November."

Zhu Changlin's eyes lit up: "Chairman, it's not too late! To be honest, when we first developed the Xphone 3, we made two versions. One is 5.5 inches and the other is 5.0 inches."

"Two versions?" Wang Yi was a little confused.

"That's right, Chairman. Xingyi mobile phones are our core business, so a talent development team training plan is essential. But the best training is practical experience. So when our main team was developing a 5.5-inch phone, I asked the deputy team to develop a 5.0-inch phone with the same appearance and configuration as a practice. As a result, they were really good and they actually made it."

Zhu Changlin said with a smile, it was really an unexpected success.

The R&D elites who have newly joined Xingyi Technology cannot take on the leading role directly, so they practice in this way.

"The R&D talent team training plan is great, Lao Zhu, you really surprised me." Wang Yi praised: "How is the 5.0-inch one?"

"It's very well done. The prototype is ready. I'll get it for you."

Wang Yi waved his hand and said, "Just call someone to send a few more units. We'll test them. If there's no problem, we can go into mass production!"

"it is good!"

Soon, the 5.0-inch xphone 3 prototype was delivered.

Wang Yi played with the phone and experienced it for a while: "Very good, test it as soon as possible, no problem, mass production as soon as possible. Then we can release it together in September."

"Okay, I'll place an order for the screen, shell, middle frame, battery and other components first. The other components are the same as the 5.5-inch plus version, only the internal structure has been changed, but it doesn't matter, just share the same set with the plus version, and then place an additional order later."

"Yeah." Wang Yi nodded with satisfaction.

Since the aim is to grab Apple users, the xphone 3 is only 5.5 inches, which is a bit risky. It should at least have a 5.0-inch model.

The iPhone 6 to be released in September next year will bid farewell to the small 4.0-inch screen and be replaced by a large 4.7-inch screen, while the iPhone 6 plus will have an ultra-large 5.5-inch screen.

This year, Wang Yi took a step ahead to plan the plus model, which can be regarded as taking the lead.

The real meaning is to give users multiple choices and let them choose as they please.

In this way, when Xingyi X1 and Xingyi X1plus are released in March next year, even if the 3G models are discontinued, there will be 4 new 4G models on sale.

Add to that the xphone 3pro and xphone 3pro max released in the second half of the year, there will be a total of six 4G mobile phones, which is not a problem at all.

There is no other way. If we want to go international, we must have 4G.

Moreover, 4G will be launched in China next year. As a flagship phone priced at four or five thousand yuan, it is still 3G, which really has no future.

As for upgrading xphone 2 and xphone 2pro to 4G versions...it would be better to make xphone 3 and Xingyi X1 into standard and plus versions.

This makes the operation easier, results in higher sales and higher profits.

It’s simple: consumers prefer to buy new, not old.

Even if the old model is upgraded, it will not sell as well as the new model.

All subsequent mobile phones were like this. A phone would be discontinued after about a year and a half, and new phones would be released in two versions: large and small screens.

Wang Yi looked at Zhu Changlin: "The small-screen version of the Xphone 3 is important, and the sales of the other Xingyi phones are also important. Taking advantage of the hot sales of the Prism Gate, pay attention to replenishing the stock. Dealers should place orders if they should, and factories should place orders if they should. With such a good market, it would be stupid if they were out of stock!"

"Don't worry, Chairman. I have already asked BYD to increase orders across the board. Except for the discontinued Xphone 1, the monthly production capacity of other Xingyi phones has been increased by 300 million units. The monthly production capacity of the Unlimited phones has been increased by 500 million units. I will dynamically adjust the production capacity based on the subsequent sales volume."

"It's fine to increase the order of Xingyi mobile phone by 300 million, but it's not enough to increase the order of Wujie mobile phone by 1000 million. Just increase the order by million. Don't forget, Wujie mobile phone has to be internationalized." Wang Yi said.

The additional order amount of 3 million units for each model of Xingyi mobile phone is a refundable amount.

There won't be too much inventory, but it can still cope with the current hot market.

But that’s not enough for borderless phones.

After all, the borderless mobile phone needs to go international first and be sold in Asia, Africa, Latin America and other regions.

In these places, the borderless smartphones are definitely selling well due to their super low prices.

"Okay, then I'll continue to add orders." Zhu Changlin responded.

Wang Yi nodded: "Look forward to the sales in July and August, both will set new records!"

Zhu Changlin was not careless and made arrangements quickly.

Let BYD place orders and let major dealers and stores replenish stocks quickly!
For a while, Shopkeeper Wang couldn't stop smiling, and the monthly orders increased again by more than 1000 million units.

Of the additional 1900 million mobile phones, a small portion were produced by Xingyi Technology itself, and most were manufactured by BYD.

It’s hard for Manager Wang not to be excited as he’s about to make money again.

The major dealers and stores were even faster.

If you don’t make money, you’re a bastard!
Seeing today's crazy buying spree, the store manager decisively placed an order and called the dealer to urge him to ship the goods quickly.

When the dealers saw the dealers rushing to buy, they became nervous and immediately placed orders with the factory, urging the factory to ship the goods!

Before Zhu Changlin's instructions were even passed on, everyone from stores to dealers began frantically scrambling to get the goods!

Before, I would be very picky when purchasing and choose the models, but now I just say I want as many as I can get.

One month before the new phone was released, sales of the old model declined, and dealers and stores did not dare to place large orders.

But now, xphone 3 is about to be released, but xphone 2pro, xphone 2 and xphone 1pro are still in great demand!
There’s nothing we can do, consumers are too crazy!
This forces stores and dealers to go crazy!
With this market situation, there is no need to worry about losing money!
Zhu Changlin was very surprised by this and could only urge Manager Wang to continue placing orders.

The Prism Gate incident is now escalating and causing a global sensation.

After Changliao and Tik Tok, the four major microblogging platforms and major portals also reported on it.

There is no doubt that Xingyi Technology has won this wave of popularity!
Xingyi mobile phones, Xingyi tablets, Wujie mobile phones, as well as Xingyi TVs and Wujie TVs, are all hot-selling, extremely hot-selling.

However this is just the beginning.

That night, CCTV News and local news reported this incident!

Watching the CCTV news clip sent by Jian Ziyan, Wang Yi's expression was extremely exciting:
[Prism Gate broke out, and giants such as Apple, Google, and Microsoft were involved, resulting in heads of state, politicians, business giants, and billions of users' mobile phones being monitored by the NSA and FBI for 6 years. ]

[However, we have Xingyi Technology's self-developed Xingyi mobile phone and Wujie mobile phone. From XOS system, to Kunpeng processor, to mobile phone, all are self-developed by Xingyi Technology, all are made in China, there is no backdoor, and we are not afraid of being monitored! ]

Wang Yi smiled: "The central bank is still awesome!"

This wave of reports not only exposed the fact that Apple and Google were being monitored, but also specifically praised the Xingyi mobile phone, clearly pointing out that as a domestic mobile phone, the Xingyi mobile phone is absolutely safe and will not be monitored!

As for the advertising effect, it’s unbeatable!
Sure enough, the middle-aged and elderly people and ordinary people who do not use the Internet much also know about the Prism Gate, and they also know that Apple and Android phones have backdoors that can easily be monitored. They also know the security and power of Xingyi phones and Wujie phones.

I immediately made up my mind to buy Xingyi or Wujie phones when I changed my mobile phone!
Especially the last sentence of the news: [It is worth mentioning that the Wujie smartphone, starting from 999, is a sub-brand of Xingyi Technology, which aims to make smartphones affordable for everyone! ]

This sentence makes people feel more favorable towards it!
So much so that even the old man gave a thumbs up: "A borderless smartphone is only 999? Son, buy one for dad!"

That night, some people went to nearby stores, while others placed orders online and had their orders delivered offline.

That night, all the stores of Xingyi Technology and Mayu Technology were busy.

Ele.me riders are so busy that they are taking off, as if they have returned to the days of 618.

Everyone was very excited.

It’s simple, it’s easy to deliver something with a mobile phone. You don’t have to wait for the food to be served, you can basically just take it and go. The delivery fee is also high!

They are all good orders and there will be no wrangling!
Reliable riders are selected by the system, carrying backpacks and delivering goods one by one.

This is a tough time for the stores.

The stores that originally closed at 9 o'clock are now open until o'clock.

Stores that originally closed at 10 o'clock are now open until the early morning.

There’s nothing we can do. There are too many orders and too many people queuing.

Consumers were lining up at the door, and the clerks were embarrassed to leave work.

More importantly, there are commissions. What you earn from standing for a whole day is not as high as the commission you earn from working overtime for two hours today.

No one had any objection to this.

As long as the money is in place, overtime and such are all easy to deal with.

This continued for the next few days.

All models, all hot selling.

It seems like every day is 618!

Daily sales are 50% or even 80% higher than before!

For example, the daily sales of Xphone 2 Pro has increased from an average of 40 units to an average of 70 units!

That’s right, it’s not 70 units a day, but in the past few days after the Prism scandal, there are this many units every day!
An increase of 80% is terrifying.

It really is 618 every day!
Normally, with xphone 3 set to be released in September, it would be normal for xphone 9pro's daily sales to drop to 2 by the end of July. But now it has bucked the trend and grown to 7!
All I can say is that the power of the Prism Gate is too strong.

So many people couldn't even wait until September and took action at the end of July.

Wang Yi was very excited when he saw the huge orders:
"Thank you, Brother Deng! Respect!"

Without the Prism Gate, the Xphone 3 is about to be released, and the sales of the Xphone 2 Pro in July will be at most 1200 million, and at most 1000 million in August.

可自从17号棱镜门爆发，7月份xphone 2pro的销量能达到1600万，八月份销量有希望冲到1800万！
An additional three million is simply not enough!
Zhu Changlin could only continue to place orders.

But what Zhu Changlin didn't know was that this was just the beginning.

Regarding the Prism Gate, most domestic users condemned it, watched the show, and then added a few words: it is a national quintessence.

Foreign users are the first to be affected and they are the first victims of surveillance.
