Chapter 975: Hit you directly in the face
What is the Prism Plan?
The Prism Project is a top-secret electronic monitoring program implemented by the National Security Agency and the FBI FBI since the Bush Jr. in 2007. The project is officially named "us-984xn".
The Prism Program can deeply monitor instant communications and existing data, and the monitoring targets include customers who participate in the use of company equipment and services in the United States and abroad, which means that the United States can monitor the world.
The companies involved include 9 international network giants including Microsoft, Yahoo, Google, Facebook, Apple, etc.
Later, a guy named Edward Snowden ran away with two top-secret documents, and now the whole world knows about the United States' plan.
At that time, those two documents did not involve mobile phones, mainly targeting Internet data. However, this time, the "Hall Research Institute" revealed that Qualcomm is also part of the Prism Project, and the United States' monitoring of the world is much more powerful than Snowden's.
As soon as this article was published, it immediately attracted high attention from all parties because this article directly points to the US National Security Department.
The previous Snowden incident was a hot topic, and it was known to everyone in the world. It took about a year to gradually subside. Now it was revealed that Qualcomm might participate in the Prism Project, which suddenly touched the most sensitive nerves in the world.
Suspect,
panic,
These emotions emerged.
The most intuitive reaction is that it is reflected in the stock price. Qualcomm's stock price began to fall wildly, triggering the circuit breaker mechanism three times, and finally fell to 20% and was protected by the suspension.
Qualcomm is really panicked.
Chairman Tom Horton held another press conference to explain the incident,
"We can say responsibly that Qualcomm has not provided any backdoors for the U.S. National Security Department, and we do not allow anyone to use our chips to obtain user personal information. Qualcomm is always committed to creating the best chips to serve everyone."
Qualcomm denied that everyone could realize that even if they were there, they would not admit it. The reporters did not let Qualcomm chairman go.
"Then I ask if there are any vulnerabilities in Qualcomm chips that threaten users' safe use." A reporter asked.
Tom Holden pursed his lips hard, "Yes, we need to admit that no design is flawless. Because of the flaws, we will continue to improve. So far, Qualcomm is still the best chip in the world."
Tom Holden said it tactfully, but everyone could hear that the chairman had admitted that there were design problems with Qualcomm chips.
"Then how do you ensure that these vulnerabilities are not used by hackers and leak user information? We are worried about this, because many of us are also Qualcomm chip mobile phone users." A reporter asked.
"I can only say that we will provide the latest security vulnerability software so that hackers can take advantage of it. At this point, Qualcomm has been doing very well, and our technology is beyond doubt." Tom Holden said confidently.
At the same time, the NSA also held a press conference, and the spokesperson said in a serious tone: "The so-called 'Hall Institute' is a fictitious organization that has never been registered in any country. A lie organization, what he said is also a lie, and according to our investigation, all information comes from outside the United States."
"What I want to say here is that the United States does not monitor anyone, and the actions of the United States will be held accountable to all American citizens."
"We will take action to find the rumor-mongering slanderers to crack down on the rumor-mongering 'Hall Institute'."
The media and the public obviously have different opinions on Qualcomm and the National Security Agency, and many comments have appeared on the Internet.
"The security loophole has existed for a long time, but it has never been announced to the public. Qualcomm itself has fraud, which makes me feel that I have been stripped naked all the time. Although they will not pay attention to me, an ordinary person, they still feel terrifying."
"We should boycott Qualcomm chips, it's really a junk company."
"Under the Patriot Act, police agencies at all levels in the United States have the right to search and analyze any private telephone, email, medical, financial and other types of records. The bill was not repealed until 2015. The American Freedom Act stores data in telecommunications companies, and the data must be authorized by the court before it can be called. However, according to the information that companies such as Google, Facebook and others have been exposed to have been working with the US intelligence organizations, the bill has not been complied with."
"We live in an extremely unsafe era, everything about us is being monitored, and who will protect our rights? The NSA denies it, but I doubt it."
Scarlett sat in the office, watching the news on TV. When the deputy director of the National Security Agency mentioned the "Hall Research Room", she thought of a person, the bald bastard with a big chin for no reason.
‘Hall Laboratory’.
Jon Hall, this is the name that bastard used when he first boarded the Crystal Palace cruise.
"Can it be that bastard?"
Scarlett has a special spiritual sense and can even treat it as a special function. When she doubts something, she often finds that the result is just as she foresaw and guessed at the beginning.
"How much did Qualcomm's stock fall, how much did we make?" Johnson asked.
"It fell 47% compared to when we bought it. I used 5 times the leverage. As for how much I earn, it should be very simple." Jiang Hao said with a smile.
5 times leverage, as long as the fluctuation exceeds 20%, it will be forced to close the position by the brokerage firm. The danger is also quite large. However, Jiang Hao feels that it should be within his control. After all, there is no major benefit. Qualcomm's stock cannot grow by 20% at once.
Johnson made a simple calculation and said in surprise: "My God, you have made $500 million."
"It's almost the same, mainly because I don't dare to start the leverage too much, for fear that the fluctuations will be too intense." Jiang Hao said.
"I have seen your series of operations these days. I found that you are such a devil. I feel that Qualcomm is going to be killed by you." Johnson sighed.
Jiang Hao shook his head, "It's impossible. Qualcomm is the world's largest mobile phone chip manufacturer after all, with countless patents. Their background is very strong. It's just that my combination punch makes them feel overwhelmed. Even if the stock falls, Qualcomm's company will suffer heavy losses and will not shake their foundation."
What Jiang Hao said is indeed true. Although Qualcomm has various problems, it is still the best chip in the world, and other chip manufacturers are still quite different.
"We are just making money, so we don't have to think too much. I'm going to wait until the last round tomorrow and sell the stock and cash out." Jiang Hao said.
"You make the decision on these." Johnson said.
Johnson now admires Jiang Hao very much. He lost nearly half of the world's largest mobile phone chip manufacturer in just a short time. How many people in the world can do this method.
When they called a few guys to invest, many people hesitated, and most of them just invested in part by looking at their own face. When they saw the profit, they knew that they regretted that they had invested less.
As for those who don’t trust you and don’t invest a penny, I don’t want them in the future.
Due to the Qualcomm chip problem, it has affected countless mobile phone manufacturers, such as foreign countries and several major Chinese manufacturers. In the stock market, all manufacturers using Qualcomm chips have fallen to varying degrees.
The fire at the city gate will affect the fish in the pond!
Johnson left, Jiang Hao sat in the studio in a daze, thinking about his own affairs. This time he cheated Qualcomm and made hundreds of millions of dollars, but so far, he has not received a single system message.
In other words, all his current behavior is legal.
It exposed Qualcomm chip loopholes and pointed out that Qualcomm may participate in the Prism Project, and these behaviors are within the legal scope.
Jiang Hao suddenly understood one thing, that is, he said randomly that Qualcomm participated in the Prism Project, and it seemed to be right. Haha, this is called reverse presumption, and the system told Jiang Hao the correct answer.
What is your own task?
It's a crime.
This is not good for Feng Xu Sun Yang Chun Baixue, OK, so I'll give them some ruthless tomorrow.
The next day.
Thursday,
The New York stock market opens at 9:30 am Eastern Time, and the US stock market is from 9:30 to 4:00 pm, with no rest at noon, and trading for six and a half hours a day.
As the stock market began, everyone discovered that Qualcomm stocks had a strong rebound group situation, and the trading volume gradually increased. Many people saw that there should be a large capital injection, either saving the market or buying the bottom. In just one hour, Qualcomm stock rose by 4 percentage points.
Many investors feel that Qualcomm has a strong recovery momentum.
In fact, the problems that have been exposed before, such as chip security vulnerabilities and participating in the Prism plan, are no longer new. Google, Apple, Facebook and other companies also encountered the Prism Gate at the beginning. In the end, they are still one of the top ten network companies with the highest market value. As for chip vulnerabilities, no one has shaken its position anyway. If you don’t choose Qualcomm, who can you choose? Will other chip manufacturers be perfect? As long as Qualcomm’s technology and patents are still the world’s number one chip manufacturer.
Two hours after the opening of the market, Qualcomm's stock has rebounded by 5%. Although it is incomparable to the 47% decline these days, it is still a strong recovery.
But at this moment,
Hall Institute jumped out again!
A statement from the Hall Institute suddenly broke out on the Internet.
"The Hall Institute is a company dedicated to studying future technology, and it should be noted that we are indeed not an American company. Regarding the allegations made by the U.S. security department against us, saying that we slander Qualcomm, maybe we should provide some evidence to show our innocence."
"Next, we'll post evidence."
"We have reason to believe that Google is stealing user information. Just a few months ago, a company pointed out that Google has stolen user information. Some application software that Google has listed on Android and Apple Mall can save user information. The objects that have been collected include 2 billion Android users and tens of millions of Apple mobile phone users."
"What's more serious is that even if the user stops the location record, some Google apps will still automatically store data with locations and will not ask the user about it."
"The explanation given by Google is that data collection is necessary to further improve the speed and performance of messaging services, and that the data collected is public information and does not involve real privacy."
"Now, we are skeptical about Google's statement because we have a large number of call records of communication between senior Google and Qualcomm's senior management. The recordings and text chat records here show that the two parties are communicating and discussing theft of user information, and the data will be specially copied to the US National Security Department for data backup."
Below this article, there is a screenshot of Google's text chat software. One of the notes is Powell, the vice president of Google Communications and Public Affairs, and the other is Max Ned, vice president of Qualcomm.
The two people communicated a lot, but they mainly focused on one topic, how to collect user information more easily and use data as a tool for the next company operation. Of course, it also mentioned the US National Security Department.
Powell even complained that the US National Security Department is annoyed and always wants to take away more information, but Google has always been cautious about this because it is afraid that they will use too much of this information, which will arouse suspicion from Google users and thus reveal the fact that Google steals user information.
sensation!
Big news.
After this news came out, it immediately spread wildly on the Internet and spread wildly through various channels. Powell, vice president of Google Communications and public affairs, and Max Ned, vice president of Qualcomm, have really made a name for themselves.
By the way,
Vice President Maxnyde is the guy who came out to hold a press conference before, saying that Qualcomm never stole user information and opened the back door.
This is a direct slap in the face.
The public was in an uproar,
"Oh my God, everything is true. We were deceived by Google and sold by Qualcomm."
"Our privacy does not exist at all. We are completely transparent people. Who will protect our privacy."
"The US government will protect your privacy, oh, it's reserved, so please go back to the era of digital phones and say goodbye to smart phones."
"Mobile phones are no longer our assistant, but our biggest helper to betray us."
"No, I don't think we should blame the phone, but Qualcomm and Google, they are trampling on our human rights."
Affected by the news, Qualcomm's stock price plummeted again, and then it blossomed three times, and finally fell to 20% again to suspend trading protection.
Looking at Qualcomm's red stock decline line, Jiang Hao smiled and said that the total income has exceeded one billion and can be harvested.
Without hesitation, Jiang Hao directly threw away Qualcomm's short position, and the funds began to be returned, injected into the company accounts he registered with the offshore company, and then transferred to the bank he opened. After three or two, the money was safely put into the pocket.
Now Jiang Hao has only the only way to watch the show easily.
Because the article "Hall Research Room" also involves Google, affected by this, Google's stock also fluctuated significantly, and began to decline in the afternoon, and finally closed down 7%.
You know, Google's market value has reached an astonishing $800 billion, but just this news has caused Google to evaporate 30 billion.
Chapter completed!
