Chapter 548: The whole world is scrambling for Xingyi mobile phones, and Sun Haisheng’s tragedy!
When a country that has always boasted that privacy and security are sacred and inviolable turns out to be a major user of eavesdropping!

The indiscriminate monitoring from leaders to users has really aroused public anger!
Countless foreigners took to the streets to march and demonstrate to protest against Prism Gate.

But Lao Mi remained proud and refused to bow his head.

They even forced the surrender of Siden, calling him a traitor!
We demand that all countries and regions not provide him with asylum!

In response, Hong Kong Island sternly rejected the proposal and fought to the end.

Lao Mi continued to exert pressure, further arousing public anger.

This caused public opinion to boil over:

"Monitoring top politicians, celebrities, businessmen, and billions of users is a blatant provocation to human rights!"

"Mi is too shameless, he has no bottom line. Privacy and security are sacred and inviolable."

"Crap Apple, crap Android, crap Microsoft, all have backdoors, we are all running naked."

"For the sake of privacy and security, I have changed to a Xingyi phone!"

"Good idea! Xingyi phone is a Xia country phone, Xia country system, Xia country chip, no matter how powerful Lao Mi is, he can't monitor it!"

"That's right. Apple phones are not safe. Other Android phones are not safe either. They may have hidden doors that can be monitored. On the contrary, there is no need to worry about Xingyi phones."

"I really envy Xiaguo users. They have a safe and wiretapped Xingyi phone. I want to buy one, but it's a pity that it's not on sale in Xide!"

"It's true that the Xingyi phone is not available worldwide, but you can find someone to buy parallel imports, but you have to pay extra."

"What's the extra money? For privacy and security, it's worth the extra money."

"Yes, I have already changed to a Xingyi mobile phone, and bought a Xingyi tablet, and also changed the TV to a Xingyi TV."

"Me too. Xingyi tablets and Xingyi TVs are already on sale worldwide. They are very good. I am going to buy a parallel import Xingyi phone."

"I'm going on a business trip to Xia Country next week, so I'll just bring a few back with me."

"Alas! When all brands are unsafe, fortunately there is Xingyi Technology and Xingyi mobile phones."

"It's useless to use a Xingyi phone. Facebook, YouTube and Twitter are all monitored and have backdoors. If you use these apps, they will still be leaked."

"Yeah, what can we do?"

"It's simple. I don't use Facebook, Twitter, or YouTube anymore. I now use a Xingyi phone, Changchat, and TikTok. They are all products of Xingyi Technology. The servers are all in Xiaguo, so the NSA can't monitor them."

"Good idea. I'll also switch to the Xingyi Technology family package. By the way, is Changchat useful?"

"It's very easy to use. It's mainly for social interaction with acquaintances. If they are not your friends, they can't see any of your updates at all. It gives you maximum privacy!"

"That sounds great. Is TikTok useful?"

"It's not about whether TikTok is good or not, but about whether it's fun. There are all kinds of interesting short videos on it, some from China, some from Europe and America. In short, you can find everything you are interested in."

"Then I'm going to give it a try."

"There are also Xingyi games, which are also very good. Recently I'm playing "Star Hunter" and "Ring Fit Adventure" on Xingyi TV."

"Ring Fit Adventure? A motion-sensing game?"

"Yes, it's a fitness game developed by Xingyi Technology. It's controlled by a fitness ring. The fitness effect is very good. I don't even go to the gym anymore."

"Xingyi mobile phones, Kunpeng chips, XOS system, Xingyi games, Changchat, TikTok...are all from Xingyi Technology? What a great company."

"It's like this. They are developing very fast, are very powerful, and their products are unique in the world. It is said that not many people use iPhones in Xia Country because the performance is too poor. They all buy Xingyi phones. iPads are not selling well either. They all buy Xingyi tablets!"

"That's how it should be. All 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 junk companies together, buy Xingyi Technology's products, and use Xingyi Technology's software!"

"See? At the press conference of President Sid, his cell phone has been changed to Xingyi Technology's Xphone 2Pro!"

"I saw it too. At the press conference a few days ago, they were still using iPhone 5, but today it's become Xphone 2 Pro!"

"The Gaul leader's Samsung phone was also replaced with an Xphone 2 Pro."

"Even the tablet used by the spokesperson of Sid has been changed from iPad to Xingyi tablet!"

"How can I not change? I've been monitored for six years. I would change too."

"The leader has changed, what are we waiting for?"

"Change now, unless you are stupid enough to continue being monitored."

"It's best to replace your mobile phone, tablet, and even TV. Don't worry, Xingyi mobile phone, Xingyi tablet, and Xingyi TV are all better and more powerful."

"Yes, let's switch to Changchat on social media, boycott iPhones and buy Xingyi phones!"

……

All of a sudden, the number of overseas users of Changliao and Douyin began to increase rapidly.

When Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube can all be monitored, Chat and TikTok have become the best alternatives.

Wang Yi was very surprised by this.

This wave of Prism Gate not only stimulated the sales of Xingyi mobile phones, Xingyi tablets, and Xingyi TVs, but also boosted the number of users of Changliao and Douyin!

It's really a great win!

More importantly, the wave of boycotting the iPhone has begun to spread from overseas.

Especially at the press conference, the heads of several countries changed their mobile phones from iPhone and Samsung to Xingyi phones, and foreign people were also very excited.

They started buying Xingyi mobile phones, Xingyi tablets, and Xingyi TVs.

Xingyi tablets and Xingyi TVs are easy to come by, as they have already been internationalized and are available in flagship stores and Xingyi International Mall in various countries.

But Xingyi mobile phones are not available yet, so we can only buy parallel imports.

Not surprisingly, the Xingyi mobile phone is a global best-seller, and even parallel-imported products are selling out.

The price of parallel imports has been rising.

For example, the price of xphone 2pro starts at 5299 in China, and the overseas price was previously 1100 to 1200 US dollars, equivalent to RMB 1600 to 1700. Now it has risen to - US dollars, more than RMB!

However, even though the price has almost doubled, people are still snapping them up!

We all care about privacy and security.

Of course, some foreigners think that the Xphone 2 Pro is too expensive, so they buy parallel imported Xphone 1, Xphone 1 Pro and Xphone 2.

As a result, the prices of parallel-imported versions of these old mobile phones have skyrocketed.

For example, the parallel imported Xphone 1 was previously just inventory and not many were sold in a month, but now it is selling like hot cakes overseas!

The price is 899 US dollars, even if calculated based on the current exchange rate of less than 7, it is nearly RMB!

You should know that the domestic price of xphone 1 is only a little over yuan, which is a real bargain.

All the major parallel importers went crazy about this.

They are really making money by shipping goods like crazy, while at the same time contacting domestic companies and making crazy payments and orders through various channels!
No matter what model, no matter what price, as long as they are available, I want them all.

Pay in full!

There’s nothing I can do, it’s too profitable!

Profits exceed 100%!

It would be strange if I wasn't crazy.

There are also those scalpers from Xia Country who could no longer make a living in the country, and many of them went overseas to become parallel importers.

Now they are seizing the opportunity, making money like crazy and placing orders like crazy.

For example, Fu Zheming failed to get into university, so his parents sent him abroad to get a fake degree, hoping that he would be arranged to work in a state-owned enterprise after graduation and have a stable job.

As a result, Fu Zheming didn't like overly stable jobs, nor did he look down on jobs within the system, so he simply became a scalper.

Now he has grown even bigger and cooperates with his cousin Fu Zheyuan. His cousin ships domestically, and he uses the channels he established when studying abroad to ship goods overseas.

The cousins ​​work together and earn more in a month than their parents make in a year.

As soon as the Prism Gate incident broke out, Fu Zheming asked his cousin to place a large order.

Taking advantage of this market trend, I really made a lot of money.

Inside the apartment.

Looking at the pile of US dollars on the ground, Fu Zheming couldn't stop smiling and decisively made a long-distance call:
"Cousin, order, keep ordering, and ship as soon as possible!"

"??? Didn't the previous batch just arrive?"

"Not much left. I sold some myself and distributed some to other dealers."

"Okay, then I'll find a dealer and 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 the new phone will be released in September. Will it be a waste of money if I buy too much?"

"What does the release of new phones have to do with us? They are not available globally, and even parallel imports of new phones cannot be shipped in October, so it won't affect our sales. Besides, with the power of the Prism Gate, even if you order more, it won't last until October, let alone September!"

"Okay, then I'll place more orders."

Fu Zheyuan then immediately contacted the dealers he had worked with and placed the order with full payment.

After receiving the money, the dealer immediately arranges for the warehouse to ship the goods and contacts the factory to place more orders.

These parallel importers place large orders, often tens of thousands of units at a time.

This time, a total of 100,000 units of various models were ordered.

The average profit from each mobile phone is 300, which means a profit of 3000 million.

This deal is definitely a good deal!
Similar scenes are happening all over the country.

Many dealers have received large orders from overseas parallel importers, most of which are super large orders ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of units.

Each dealer made a lot of money.

As for Xingyi Technology, it makes more money.

Under normal sales, one model sells 20 to 70 units a day.

But now, there are parallel importers placing large orders every day, resulting in a daily explosion of orders.

Seeing this situation, Zhu Changlin hurriedly went to find Wang Yi:
"Chairman, the orders have exploded again. I don't know how to make a decision now!"

"Is it the overseas parallel importers who placed the order?" Wang Yi hit the nail on the head.

After the Prism Gate broke out, Zhu Changlin has added orders several times, which should have basically satisfied the domestic market sales. But now orders are still pouring in. There is only one explanation.

It exploded overseas!

Orders from parallel importers!

"Yes, Xingyi mobile phones are now selling well not only in China but also overseas! Many overseas parallel importers have begun to purchase them in large quantities through various channels. The purchase price starts from tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of units." Zhu Changlin said.

After all, if you have to smuggle the goods and send them out through certain special channels and then there are fewer orders, it’s not cost-effective.

For example, if we find a reliable shipping route, but it is so far and the sailing time is not short, it would not be cost-effective if we don’t get a few more containers.

Zhu Changlin continued, "The problem now is these parallel importers. Their orders are large and concentrated, which has caused our production capacity to be tight. If we increase orders frantically to meet these production capacities, we are afraid that next month, overseas production capacity will be reduced and we will have excess production capacity again! I don’t know what to do now."

Wang Yi understood Zhu Changlin's concerns. Three words: hysteresis!
The Prism Gate broke out and Xingyi Technology added orders. This is normal.

The domestic consumer market is mostly individual users' consumption, which is very stable. There will be no problem in increasing the order quantity based on the sales volume, and there will not be too much inventory.

However, overseas parallel importers place orders in a concentrated manner, which is unstable.

For example, the overseas sales of Xphone 2 Pro were only 300 million last month.

This month, the Prism Gate broke out, and overseas parallel importers placed orders in a concentrated manner, with the total overseas order volume reaching 900 million units!

But what about next month?

Maybe it will drop to five million units.

If we place additional orders based on the 900 million units of overseas orders this month, and the overseas order volume drops significantly next month, we will have a stock of million units!
New phones are about to be released, but there are still four million old phones in stock, which is a big problem.

But if we prepare the goods based on the sales volume of 5 million units, and the Prism Gate incident breaks out again next month, that would also be a problem.

Lag is a very troublesome thing.

Especially in overseas markets, parallel importers make centralized purchases, resulting in more serious lags, and there is no stable market situation to refer to.

Zhu Changlin didn't know what to do.

Wang Yi pondered and said, "Changlin, the impact of the Prism Gate will not go away in the short term, but the overseas market's explosion of orders will not always be so terrible. If it really doesn't work, we can compromise and take a middle number for overseas orders next month."

For the overseas market next month, 900 million units are too much, and million units are too little.

Then let's compromise and go with seven million.

In this way, even if the market is good, there will not be too big a gap.

When the market is bad, we can tolerate an extra one or two million in inventory.

"Okay, Chairman, then I'll compromise." Zhu Changlin nodded. This was a good idea.

The doctrine of the mean may not be the optimal solution, but it is definitely the safest one.

There is no way. The domestic market can still be predicted, but the sales of overseas parallel imports are impossible to predict.

Finally, Zhu Changlin decided that the overseas parallel import order volume for next month would be 2 million units of Xphone 700 Pro.

Xphone 2 sold 500 million units, and Xphone 1 Pro sold 300 million units.

A compromise.

"The fundamental problem is that it is still not internationalized!" Wang Yi sighed. If it were fully internationalized, it wouldn't be so passive.

"Yes, we have bought 30% of Nokia's patents, and we are still negotiating the patents of the other parties."

Zhu Changlin elaborated: "Although the progress is good, it still takes time to polish it. Unless we accept the other party's high price and quickly complete this matter, we can achieve internationalization earlier and release the new machine in September..."

Wang Yi waved his hand and said, "Let's wait until next year. Once the Prism scandal comes out, the US will be desperate and we have already gained the most benefits. If we take the opportunity to go international at this time, it will definitely be a hot seller, but there is a high probability that we will be hammered to death! The US will be desperate and will jump over the wall!"

Zhu Changlin was shocked. "That's right. If there hadn't been the Prism scandal, Xiaomi might not have been so angry. Now the Prism scandal has put Xiaomi in a very passive position. The sales of Apple and Samsung have plummeted, and users have rushed to buy parallel imports of Xingyi mobile phones. If we go international at this time, we will definitely be a big hit, directly grabbing the global market of Apple, Samsung, and Nokia, and even have the hope of becoming the world's number one. But Xiaomi will definitely beat us to death!"

Wang Yi knew very well that in his previous life, he was far ahead by surpassing Apple and Samsung, and had the largest market share in the world, but then he was beaten to a pulp!
The same is true for the Xingyi mobile phone.

Without the Prism Gate, after the internationalization of Xingyi mobile phones, it would not be a problem for them to compete with brands such as Apple, Samsung, and Nokia, even if they ranked third or even second in the world.

But with the Prism Gate, as long as the Xingyi mobile phone is internationalized, it will quickly become the world's number one, and it will definitely be completely destroyed.

This is not a good thing.

It would have been scary enough if the timing of the explosion had been brought forward from 2018 to 2015. If it had been brought forward to this year, it would have been really bad.

"Let's put off the internationalization until next year. As it happens, we can start preparations at the beginning of next year. In March, the Xingyi mobile phone X1 will be internationalized. With its full screen and lifting camera, it will surely amaze the world!"

At that time, the impact of the Prism Gate had declined a lot. It started to globalize in March, and the annual sales volume of Xingyi mobile phones would not be the world's first next year.

Then the explosive incident can probably be postponed to the beginning of the year after next.

After Apple's lobbying and the proposal of congressmen, the US Department of Commerce conducted an investigation and released the results, officially starting the first round of criticism, which will be the year after next.

The change of leadership in 2017 can give us a break, but a full-scale attack can be delayed until 2018-2019.

In this way, Xingyi Technology will have several years to develop.

If we internationalize now, the first wave of attacks will come next year. There are still several years before the change of leadership, and we may be hit hard before the change of leadership.

That's totally wrong.

High-end photoresists, large silicon wafers, EDA industrial software, and lithography machines all require time to make breakthroughs.

Sometimes, necessary restraint is still necessary.

As long as the Xingyi mobile phone is not internationalized, there will be no sanctions from the other side.

People don't sell to Lao Mi anymore, and you're imposing sanctions on them. That's not a human thing to do.

Lao Mi should have some shame.

Zhu Changlin nodded: "The chairman is very thoughtful. I will take the patent first."

"Well, go ahead. We don't have to go global this year, but we have prepared everything we need. We will have a global layout next year. On March 1, Xingyi X will be released overseas, officially starting the road to globalization!"

"it is good!"

Of course, Wang Yi and other senior executives will not go at that time.

Just arrange for the overseas director of Xingyi Technology to attend.

There was no other way. Wang Yi was afraid that he would not be able to return, and that the plane would explode...

The end of July is graduation season.

Many graduates are taking this opportunity to submit resumes and look for jobs.

Xingyi Technology, with its wealth and unlimited prospects, is undoubtedly the best choice.

Many graduates from prestigious universities who have offers from BAT companies have to wait for Xingyi Technology!

As long as Xingyi Technology wants it, BTA’s offer can be rejected immediately.

In particular, some semiconductor elites, who all studied under professors from prestigious universities, have participated in Xingyi Semiconductor's autumn recruitment.

Some made it through four rounds but were still rejected in the end.

Some even did internships but didn't stay in the end.

This made many people collapse, and they gathered together for warmth and analyzed the reasons.

Song Xin, a master's graduate of Sun Haisheng, was one of them. Feeling depressed, he complained in the group:

"I really don't understand. I passed all four rounds of interviews at Xingyi Semiconductor, but in the end I didn't get an offer. They said it was a job change. How could this happen?"

"Junior Brother Song, you were also rejected? I was rejected too, and I have been interning for a month."

"Brother Wu, you have a bachelor's degree, a master's degree, and a doctorate from a 985 university, and you were rejected after just one month of internship? Didn't they say that everyone was optimistic about you and had assigned you tasks?"

"Originally, I was, but who would have thought that I would be notified of my failure just five days ago."

"I was there five days ago too! What does that mean? All laid off? Xingyi Semiconductor is not hiring anymore?"

"Recruit them. Several other PhD students in our group have received offers, but I was rejected."

"Our group is also..."

"I was rejected too. You were rejected for chip R&D, but I applied for the marketing department of Xingyi Semiconductor! I'm a 985 master's degree holder, and I went to Xingyi Technology to sell chips, but I was rejected. It's crazy!"

"Junior Sister Xu, your marketing department has been fooled? This is unacceptable!"

"Yeah, I'm confused too. You can say I'm not good enough for chip R&D, but I'm more than capable for the marketing department! They want to keep undergraduates, and they don't want me, a 985 undergraduate and master's degree student! I'm pretty and I can drink!"

"What's going on? Do you feel like our sect is being targeted?"

“I don’t understand.”

Just when everyone was confused, a senior who had been silent all the time suddenly spoke up:
"Stop discussing this. This is not Xingyi Technology's fault. It's our mentor's fault."

"What happened to Teacher Sun?" Everyone was even more confused.

"Teacher Sun once joined some people in condemning Xingyi Technology and took the lead in obstructing the localization of lithography machines. He was considered to have ulterior motives... Therefore, all of Teacher Sun's students were banned by Xingyi Technology."

"Ah? How could this happen! Is this reliable?"

"I don't know if it's reliable or not, I just heard it from others."

The man was vague in his response, but the entire small group fell silent.

This is probably true.

Subsequently, more and more news broke out.

Similar incidents occurred not only in Sun Haisheng's school, but also in many other schools.

All the students were rejected, and those who were originally prepared to receive offers were suddenly rejected.

Then there was news that a certain professor’s research funding, which was supposed to be issued, was rejected at the last minute…

As more and more news came out, everyone understood what was going on.

For a time, these professors looked livid, and their students were in great pain, as finding jobs was a problem.

There are not many large domestic semiconductor companies these days.

If Xingyi Semiconductor decides not to acquire it, other companies will also hesitate.

Xingyi Technology is worried that their mentors have gone astray and their students have been led astray by having too much contact with foreign countries. Other domestic semiconductor companies are also worried!

Once a leak occurs, the loss will be huge.

People outside the circle don’t know about these things, but people inside the circle know them very well.

This made Sun Haisheng and others extremely painful.

It is shameful for students to find jobs.

He couldn’t get funding, had no results, was stuck in finding a job, and no students were willing to follow him.

The students who originally joined Sun Haisheng began to quickly distance themselves from him, keeping their distance for fear of being implicated.

As a result, it will be even more difficult to recruit graduate students next year, as I am afraid that no students will be willing to follow them.

But Sun Haisheng knew that this was just the beginning.

If the funding application is not approved, there are no scientific research results, and it is impossible to recruit students, the school will not spend money to support them and let them continue to occupy the staff positions.

On the contrary, their school may expel them next year!

However, the storm came faster than expected.

At the beginning of August, Sun Haisheng received a notice from the school that his enrollment quota for the next semester was cancelled and his contract would not be renewed after the expiration...

"How cruel!" Sun Haisheng sighed. How could he not understand what the school meant?
The only reason I didn't fire him directly was to avoid paying the penalty.

"But it's okay. I've registered my name in several companies, so it won't stop me from making money!"

"Fortunately, the book has been published. We have to print more copies next month. It will definitely sell well by then!"
