It is a very accidental and rare thing that the Prism Gate incident can take root, but there is a careful calculation by the protagonist behind it.
It is said to be "accidental" and "rare" because this incident was actually reported and spread by the media.
——Between 2001 and 2013, according to Wikipedia, there were eighteen surveillance scandals of the same level as Prism Gate among the related incidents related to Ugly State surveillance.
Without exception, these eighteen surveillance scandals have been ignored by the media around the world. Except for researchers in related industries, no one in the general public has heard of them.
This is a normal situation, because these media have their own positions. Of course, they cannot say bad things about the big boss, let alone make the whole world know about it.
So why is Prism Gate such a big deal?
Because before the Prism Gate incident, Ugly State spent a full year hyping up "China's eavesdropping on Ugly State's commercial secrets" and "using network surveillance", which heated up the topic of network security. The stage was set, and media from various countries were all
We held up the spotlight and microphone, and gathered around the audience to wait for registration.
All is ready except for the opportunity.
At this time, the protagonist snd jumped out and jumped on the stage, shaking up the Prism scandal. This forced the major media to pretend to be deaf and dumb, and they couldn't pretend not to have seen it.
It was only this time that the incident became a big deal.
Prior to this, the matter of surveillance by the Ugly State was no longer news. All countries knew about it, but ordinary people did not know about it.
——Ordinary people’s cognition is based on mass media.
In the Prism Gate incident, it was the ugly country itself that was really lifting a rock to hit people. Only it has the ability to lift such a big stone and prepare to hit China in the current public opinion environment.
Then snd jumped out and stuck the stone on Chou Guo's face.
Without Ugly Country's own help, the Prism Gate Incident would never have happened. No matter how sensational the Prism Plan was, and no matter how loud SND shouted, few people would hear it because there would be no media coverage.
Including some media from a large Eastern country.
Not to mention other countries.
Can't stir up any waves.
Comrade Guan Hai dared to openly admit that, on the one hand, Chou Country was domineering and shameless, and on the other hand, this matter was really nothing news to him and them.
Don’t you know if I don’t admit it?
Guan Hai admitted on June 7 that on June 9, the "Guardian" published the identity of the "whistleblower" at his request. On June 11, SND left the Hong Kong hotel where he lived and his whereabouts are unknown.
It was not until July 31st that Ugly State was forced to take the initiative to declassify three top-secret documents of the Prism Project after SND's continuous exposure of multiple confidential documents and pressure from the media.
In its original history, Apple's sales growth slowed down due to the previous "Pride Gate" and the "Prism Gate" incident.
——Sales are still increasing. In 2012, iPhone sales in mainland China were 23.82 million units, and in 2013, sales were 25.64 million units. There is still a sales growth of 7.6%, but it is not as good as its global market growth of 18%.
In this world, because Mr. Wei, who does not want to be named, provides money and effort behind the scenes, the influence of "Pride Gate" and "Prism Gate" have increased, but the increase in the former is not high, because it is difficult to go higher.
The "Prism Gate" incident, under the guidance of some forces, targeted the iPhone.
In the past few days when the incident was relatively hot, the official Weibo of Luoshen System has been posting updates emphasizing how safe the Luoshen System is.
At the same time, since the end of June, Gushi Mobile has received a rapid increase in orders for customized mobile phones from governments and businesses.
Under the general trend, even Xiaomi has followed suit - China's smartphone market share was released in June. Relying on the excellent performance of Xiaomi 2s and Redmi mobile phones, Xiaomi's single-month sales surpassed Apple for the first time and became one of the top five domestic smartphone manufacturers.
among the list.
This is more the impact of the "Pride Gate" incident that continues to ferment, and the real impact of the "Prism Gate" incident has not yet been fully revealed in June.
However, the real good news does not lie here. The iPhone will never decline because of this, and even if the iPhone declines, whoever can take advantage of the vacant market will still have to rely on their own products.
I don’t know if it’s because of my excellent design ability or because of the blessing of the emperor, but everyone feels that they are very lucky.
——Self-developed processor, the first tape-out was successful!
Success...
Wei Qingfan was confused when he heard the news, wondering if Zhang Yuanping was teasing him, but his reason made him very clear that this kind of thing could not be a joke.
But this is too outrageous, right?
He is ready to accept three, five, or even more failures. He is secretly calculating how much mobile phone sales must be increased to generate profits that can continue to support research and development.
As a result, it was successful...
"Was the tape-out successful?"
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Qinghuai next to him opened his eyes slightly and asked.
She had already guessed the result from his conversation, but like Wei Qingfan, she was mentally prepared that it would take three or five tapeouts to succeed, but she couldn't believe it when the tapeout was successful on the first time.
"right."
Wei Qingfan "reluctantly" accepted this huge surprise, nodded towards her, then couldn't help but hold her in his arms, lowered his head and took a few bites.
"Well……"
Jiang Qinghuai struggled twice, pushed him away, panted slightly and said, "Really? Is it so smooth?"
"yes."
Wei Qingfan breathed a long sigh of relief, then clapped his hands and said, "Tell everyone the news."
Of course "everyone" is not really everyone, as long as the people in the strategy office know about it.
He found the small group in the strategy office and typed: "I have some good news for everyone,"
As soon as I finished typing these words, I saw a new message popping up in the group.
Zhang Yuanping: "I want to tell you some good news. Our self-developed processor passed the test and was successfully taped out."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "..."
Wei Qingfan took a look at the message and silently deleted the words he had just typed. He saw new messages quickly popping up in the group.
Zhao Haiming: "Damn it! Did it succeed?"
Wang Qinggen: "The first tape-out was successful? This is such a surprise."
Tang Tingyue: "[Like]"
Xiao Jiasheng: "[Too awesome]"
Xiao Jiasheng: "@伟总can't I give you a bonus?"
The company's highest-level group rarely became lively, and Wei Qingfan also sent a few messages to express his joy.
However, there was no point in just expressing it to these rough men, so Jiang Qinghuai expressed it to her. She was unwilling to mess around in the office, so he had to wait until after get off work to take her home with him.
When the two arrived at the home, they found that there was no one there. Only the confinement sister-in-law and the nanny were cleaning up the house. After asking, they learned that they had gone downstairs with the child in their arms, so they went down to look for someone else.
When they came downstairs, the two of them searched but couldn't find anyone. Just as they were about to send a message to Li Wanyi, Li Miaoyu called first.
"Hello~"
Wei Qingfan answered the phone, and before he finished his opening remarks, he heard Li Miaoyu's "hahahaha" laughter from over there, and Li Wanyi's funny coy voice: "Okay, I can't stop laughing..."
"
"Hahahahaha!"
Li Miaoyu continued to laugh, and Wei Qingfan was a little helpless, but he couldn't help laughing and asked, "Why are you so happy?"
"Hey hey hey..."
Li Miaoyu continued to laugh, and finally held it back. While laughing, he asked, "Brother, where are you?"
"Well……"
Wei Qingfan felt something was wrong. How did she know Jiang Qinghuai was there?
Sure enough, Li Miaoyu laughed and said: "We are upstairs... Hahaha, did you find us downstairs?"
Wei Qingfan said speechlessly: "Didn't I say you were downstairs?"
"Yes, but we are back now, hey hey hey hey hey."
She was smiling happily there. Wei Qingfan was helpless and funny. He turned to look at Jiang Qinghuai. Jiang Qinghuai also said a little funny: "Then let's go back."
"Okay, let's talk about it when we get back."
Wei Qingfan hung up the phone and went back upstairs with Jiang Qinghuai. Li Wanyi was holding the baby in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, probably taking him to enjoy the sunset. Li Miaoyu was also playing with the baby.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Seeing Wei Qingfan and Jiang Qinghuai come back, Li Miaoyu started laughing again, leaning towards Li Wanyi while laughing. Li Wanyi said angrily: "Go away, I'm holding my son. If you turn over, I'll get out of the way."
"Disgusting~"
Li Miaoyu had no choice but to stand firm on her own. She wanted to puff out her cheeks and roll her eyes, but then she laughed out loud, "You two are too stupid to even look at it."
Wei Qingfan said: "Didn't you see it?"
"You're still smiling."
Jiang Qinghuai rolled his eyes at Li Miaoyu, came over to see the baby, and asked, "Where's Auntie?"
"Where's the room?"
Li Wanyi said softly, "I feel a little sleepy and want to sleep for a while. I'll call her later."
When the baby needs to breastfeed at night, Wei Qingfan and his mother take turns staying with Li Wanyi, and sometimes the confinement nanny also helps.
Wei Qingfan has to go to work on weekdays and doesn't have much company, mainly his mother and confinement nanny. He doesn't get much sleep at night and has to catch up on sleep during the day.
"Um."
Wei Qingfan nodded and reached out to pick up his son. The little boy was obviously able to recognize people. He looked at his father with his big dark eyes, still neither crying nor fussing, and his eyes were blinking.
Wei Qingfan kissed his smooth face and said with a smile: "Baby, call daddy, call daddy to tell you some good news..."
Li Miaoyu said angrily: "It's not even 100 days yet. It's scary to be able to talk."
"My son is a genius..."
Wei Qingfan put his forehead against his son's, hugged him and shook him. The little boy didn't cry or fuss, but his eyes were bright and he smiled, obviously very happy and enjoying himself.
Li Wanyi looked at this scene and asked softly: "What's the good news?"
Wei Qingfan looked at her, then at Li Miaoyu, and said with a smile: "Guess what."
"It's still a lie..."
Li Miaoyu wrinkled her nose and muttered dissatisfiedly, "It couldn't be that the tape-out was successful, right?"
"..."
Wei Qingfan didn't know what to say for a while.
"How is it possible, isn't this the first time..."
Li Wanyi laughed and subconsciously retorted, then looked at Wei Qingfan's expression and then turned to look at Jiang Qinghuai.
Jiang Qinghuai pursed his lips and smiled, and gave Li Miaoyu a thumbs-up gesture.
"real?"
Li Wanyi was taken aback, and Li Miaoyu couldn't help but widen his eyes, "Huh?"
"Brother Ping called me before getting off work. He wouldn't lie to me about this kind of thing, would he?"
Wei Qingfan couldn't help but laugh again, "I was also shocked. This must be such good luck."
"I'll just say it!"
After Li Miaoyu was surprised, she began to feel proud again, "I told you a long time ago that maybe it will be successful in one taping. Always believe that good things are about to happen...right?"
"Yep!"
Wei Qingfan nodded with a smile, handed his son to Li Wanyi, stretched out his hand to pinch Li Miaoyu's face, and said with a smile: "I found that you are a mascot, you can say more like this in the future."
"You are the mascot."
Li Miaoyu pursed her lips, "I am a serious person who works at Taibai Semiconductor. Unlike you, I only know how to be a hands-off shopkeeper and do nothing."
"I'm really lucky. No, it should be said that the R&D team is too good."
Li Wanyi was also in a happy mood and said happily, "Remember to give them bonuses later."
Jiang Qinghuai smiled and said, "I'll add another dish tonight."
"If one is not enough, I will cook it myself!"
Wei Qingfan was in a good mood and was ready to show off his skills. One of his two-month-old sisters-in-law left, but the one who came first was still there. Another nanny was invited. At this time, the nanny was preparing meals. When he saw Wei Qingfan coming over,
Feeling a little confused, I asked: "Do you want to add any vegetables?"
"No, I'll do it."
Mr. Wei frightened the nanny so much on a whim. He had been here for a while and had never seen him cooking. Fortunately, Jiang Qinghuai, Li Miaoyu and Li Wanyi soon followed and watched, and then they felt relieved.
Come.
The nanny hired was very professional and had excellent cooking skills, comparable to her sister’s specialty dishes. Li Wanyi also asked others for cooking tips. Wei Qingfan was worried that no one would eat the food he cooked, so he cooked it under the guidance of a group of people.
Tomato eggs, and stewed braised pork.
After the food was ready, Li Miaoyu went to call Wang Shuhua. She was better at coquettishness. Even if Wang Shuhua was sleeping deeply, she could still pull her mother up even if she was forced to pull her up.
Wang Shuhua was a little surprised to learn that her son was actually cooking. Then she learned that the company's research and development went smoothly, so she was naturally happy and asked with some confusion: "You mean it's done?"
"It's almost the same. Next, I'll just train on the engineering machine."
Wei Qingfan explained with a smile, "No matter how the actual performance is, it has been made. If it is available and can be used, it will be different."
This is true. The first-generation processors did not have much hope for actual performance. Stuttering, heating, and power consumption are all unavoidable, and they can be adjusted slowly.
There are still more than two years before the planned release of high-end processors equipped with the upcoming wine series. There is time to accumulate experience and continue to develop and iterate.
Even if it is iterated once a year, by the fall of 2015, it will be the third generation product.
Huawei goes from k3v2 to Kirin 920, which is the third generation.
We don’t expect the first-generation Taibai A-series processor to be released by then to be as powerful as it is. With Wei Qingfan’s golden fingers and conscious avoidance of pitfalls, there is no way it will be more rubbish than the Fire Dragon 810. (End of this chapter)
