Chapter 346 [Super Fierce Material, the Perfect Foil for Your Peers]
Among them, the first to come out and comment is the former richest man in the world
Gates commented on Weibo on his MicroBlog: "Looking at Luo Sheng at the hearing, it seems to see himself eleven years ago, if the 1998 Department of Justice hearing could be as mature and sleek as Luo Sheng, not so tough confrontation and arrogance, maybe there will be no subsequent spin-off judgment and resignation, Microsoft will have a different development trajectory later." ”
Gates posted a Weibo post that was not enjoyable, and then posted: "In the face of questions from lawmakers, Luo Sheng behaved very well, and I believe that he will make consumers satisfied with the privacy issues of Bluestar Technology." ”
There is no doubt that both of Gates's Weibo posts praised Luo Sheng's performance at the hearing, believing that it was handled very well.
Gates is a victim of this, and the two comments feel a bit sympathetic, at least on the surface.
Then, unexpectedly, after Gates jumped out to support it, Google, Yahoo and other bigwigs also publicly commented on this matter, all supporting Luo Sheng.
Silicon Valley bigwigs actually support a Chinese?
This makes the domestic melon-eating masses look confused, this is not scientific, there are still a large number of competitors of Bluestar Technology Group, so generous?
Unbeknownst to Luo Sheng, he did not pay attention to the latest information, and he left after the hearing.
If he knew that the Silicon Valley bigwigs were competing to support him, he would definitely smile, these people are all thieves, and they all appear in the list of the "Prism Project" without exception, if he knows these insiders, he will not be surprised that they jumped out to support Luo Sheng at this moment.
The outside world is already not calm, and major media are reporting on Luo Sheng's hearing.
There is no doubt that Luo Sheng's clever words made it easy for the color to deal with one question after another, and did not find any advantage in it.
Originally, the major media thought that this was a very difficult public relations crisis for Luo Sheng, but they didn't expect it to further achieve him personally, but it was the major parliamentarians of Lao Mei who became the target of ridicule.
The next day, Luo Sheng went to a private dinner invited by Gates as scheduled, and left for China the next day.
With this experience, Luo Sheng felt that it would be better to come to the territory of the US imperialists less in the future, and try to come as little as possible if he can.
Walking on the side of the road, there will always be a day when you get your shoes wet.
Maybe it's fun to give you a dongge package.
It's better to be steady.
Just as Luo Sheng had just returned to China, North America suddenly asked the NSA to investigate the database of Bluestar Technology, on the grounds that it could not be judged that Bluestar Technology was safe in data security and privacy issues based on Luo Sheng's one-sided words.
As for the monopoly issue, this matter is secondary, because with Microsoft in front of it, the matter is relatively more difficult.
The outside world thought that Luo Sheng would agree, after all, he gave people the impression that he was easy-going and very talkative during the hearing.
However, the facts were ruthlessly slapped in the face again, and the official of Bluestar Technology then responded, first emphasizing that the company did not sell data to any third party, and indeed did not, and at the same time decisively rejected the NSA's opening of the database of Bluestar Technology Group.
One word is: just!
Luo Sheng's response made many people in the industry secretly admire, and during the hearing, he was extremely gentle, but his actual actions were unambiguous, which can be described as a combination of rigidity and softness, impeccable.
Bluestar Technology Group is so disobedient, the NSA can really be said to hate itchy, and the most hateful thing is that it can't come up with a reliable way to solve this problem for a while.
Because there is no reasonable reason to enforce it, everything in Bluestar Technology complies with local legal standards, and it is down-to-earth that it is played in full accordance with the rules of the game formulated by Lao Mei.
It will only arouse more uneasiness and fierce opposition from local North American companies, because it will impact the elite class of the United States, and when the subprime mortgage crisis broke out, Paulson hoped that the major banks in the United States would come out to save the market and support the market.
But Wall Street was unusually resistant, and Paulson was helpless against the bankers, and in the end, he couldn't do anything about it, because it would be an alleged interference in the free market, which was not in accordance with local laws and principles.
The reason is actually the same, Luo Sheng dares to be so strong, he is also confident, he is not afraid of the NSA's prosecution, and he is not afraid of the lawsuit at all, because everything is played under the framework of the game rules formulated by them, and there is no transgression, and the result of the lawsuit will either win, or at worst, he will definitely not lose.
It is no exaggeration to say that in the eyes of the NSA, Luo Sheng is simply a thorn in their eyes, a thorn in their flesh, as uncomfortable as a fish in the throat.
However, three days later, Lao Mei had no time to take care of Bluestar Technology, because a shocking surveillance scandal instantly detonated the world, especially in Europe.
The Germans were even more outraged.
The initiator was an exclusive report from the British "Guardian", exposing the NSA's "Prism Project" to the world, Luo Sheng and Bluestar Technology Group passed overnight, and the "Prism Gate" scandal became the headline news of the world's major mainstream media.

On this day, the world's mainstream media focused on one event, that is, the "Prism Project" or the "Prismgate" surveillance scandal.
Almost all the media reported overwhelmingly on this matter, and the keyword "Prism Project" was on Google search terms that day, and the popularity index directly topped the list.
It has also sparked discussions among melon-eating netizens around the world around the surveillance scandal.
And the direct whistleblower Edward Snowden became famous!
Such a super big news has also put the global media in a state of extreme excitement.
Lao Mei is now anxious, and the inside story of such a shocking scandal has been exposed, how can she still bother to care about the privacy issues of Bluestar Technology, which will only make the public more convinced that Bluestar Technology's rejection of the NSA is a wise choice.
The director of national intelligence for North America urgently held a press conference to state that Snowden's "reckless disclosure" had created a "significant false impression" in the global media.
The NSA filed with the U.S. Department of Justice for a criminal investigation into Snowden's actions.
It would be a big mistake to say that the "Prism Project" is the most exciting news of this emergency.
Only a week after the "Prism Project" scandal was exposed, the "Guardian" once again revealed even more explosive content, which directly made the whole world fry, including thousands of melon-eating netizens unable to sit still.
The Guardian once again zoomed in on the move, exclusively unveiling a plan codenamed "Xkeyscore" by Snowden.
It's an NSA's top-secret surveillance program, which is expected to be the most extensive cyber intelligence theft program around 2013, covering almost everything an average user does online, including email content, network access and searches, and related metadata.
To support the project, the NSA plans to set up more than 700 servers in 150 locations around the world, which agents can eavesdrop on in real time by simply entering simple information such as the subject's e-mail.
The incident was so devastating that the N.S.A. and North American authorities were caught up in the frustration of an angry public.
That's what happened to the whole world overnight, and a new operation became popular all over the world, and Internet users, especially business users, put a small band-aid on the camera on their laptops.
Manufacturers of band-aids and adhesive tapes have made a windfall.
To add insult to injury, the WikiLeaks website also disclosed a document of up to 10TB provided by Snowden at this time, which pushed the surveillance scandal to a peak.
The 10TB evidence of wiretapping data has gone viral on major networks around the world, and it can't be sealed at all.
A series of fierce revelations were exposed one after another, which made the NSA, who was caught off guard, feel emaciated.
According to the content of the recording, the NSA is very dissatisfied with Bluestar Technology, the reason is that it has always refused to allow NSA to collect data information from the database of Bluestar Technology Group, and it is clearly stated in the recording that Bluestar Technology, as an Internet giant with huge global influence, is an indispensable part of ensuring the integrity of the "Xkeyscore" plan to eavesdrop on the data.
It was also made clear that if Luo Sheng did not comply, special measures must be taken against him to make him submit.
The NSA's first instinct was to wonder if Bluestar Technology did it, because after the scandal was exposed, Bluestar Technology became the first beneficiary.
However, there is no evidence for suspicion, and even if evidence is presented, it can't be good, and the worst result for Bluestar Technology is at most to withdraw from the North American market.
This information was exposed, Wall Street and the market immediately reacted, the stock of Bluestar Technology Group rose 9% on the same day, and rose sharply in the following days, the previous evaporated market value not only ate back, the total market value was also pushed to a new record of 278.1 billion US dollars, ranking third in the world in the ranking of global listed companies.
Netizens who eat melons in the mainland are simply happy to see such a result, and they can use a sentence circulating on the Internet to describe it: it all depends on the backdrop of peers.
No one thought that the biggest winner would be Bluestar Technology Group.
Now the super fierce news that has been exposed, compared with Luo Sheng's previous attendance at the hearing, an image of justice has been established in front of people all over the world with an unprecedented distinct attitude.
Now that ordinary users are more trusting and assured to use the products and services of Bluestar Technology Group, the stock market has risen sharply, and there must be another place that will fall sharply, not somewhere else, officially appearing in the "Prism Project" scandal list of Google, Yahoo and other major Silicon Valley technology giants.
And this is undoubtedly an unprecedented publicity for Bluestar Technology Group, which is more effective than any advertisement, and can be called an epic advertising campaign.
