In front of what Cheng Ran took out, Wang Yulan's eyes, which had been wide open, suddenly narrowed, "What are these?"
"Before I tell you, I want to remind you of the consequences of reporting this. It is very likely that all the achievements and qualifications you have accumulated in your economic reporting on the in-depth tracking of the economic structure of provinces and cities will be wasted, and even the newspaper may be at risk. Even so, do you dare to report it?"
Wang Yulan said after a moment, "Let me tell you. The original intention of establishing Economic Report is to be an observer of the industry and discover problems. As for the risks of reporting, you don't have to worry. We have survived to this day and naturally have a series of ways to control risks. If you are completely afraid of the consequences, then you might not have established this independent media in the first place. If you are afraid of this and that, then you may not be able to observe or discover anything. Why would anyone be willing to be a war correspondent? Don't they know that a stray bullet from somewhere, or the evil of human nature at some sudden moment, can make their brains explode?"
Seeing the light flashing in Wang Yulan's eyes, Cheng Ran nodded, "If I say that the chip now named Guoxin by USTC is a product of plagiarism and fraud that stole the source code of the chip we are developing, would you dare to write it?"
Wang Yulan was stunned for a moment, then her facial expression shifted slightly towards shock. Of course, she knew about this sensational Chinese National Chip. Two days ago, she had talked about this National Chip with the editorial board of the media who had a good background and qualifications. Not only did it make Nanzhou the talk of the town, it even received strong support from the upward policy. The main reason was that the timing was too good. When the 18 measures of the State Council to support the integrated circuit industry were being implemented in various places, the birth of the National Chip was immediately pushed to the forefront and became a benchmark and example. The significance of this banner-like existence is almost enough to imagine the glory at that time.
Wang Yulan still had some disbelief in her voice, "The other party is the dean of the Microelectronics Institute of USTC... and he is about to be awarded the Yangtze River Scholarship... He plagiarized your work... Do you have any evidence?"
"It is very difficult to obtain evidence of intellectual property rights for chip design, and there has been no precedent for this kind of case in China. He dared to steal because he had determined this point... Secondly, as you said, his reputation is indeed very big, and now it is even bigger, which is why he is fearless. It is actually very easy to detect evidence in this matter. We only need to compare the chip published by Chen Yue with our chip online, and it is easy to find similarities. The order can also be determined based on the time fingerprint, and the fact of plagiarism will be confirmed. But the difficulty lies in evidence collection and supervision... This requires stronger administrative power to promote it."
"So, you hope to borrow this kind of power through our reporting?" Wang Yulan looked at Cheng Ran.
Cheng Ran asked, "Do you find it unbelievable from beginning to end?"
"I believe that unless you are crazy, you would never dare to say that a dean and a famous expert plagiarized you. But if it is not true, why would you take such a huge risk to do such a thing? Moreover, based on our experience of working together, I certainly think that your words are highly credible."
"But why don't you report it to a higher level channel through the appeal procedure in advance? What do you want to do?" Wang Yulan looked at Cheng Ran. If she regarded Cheng Ran as just an ordinary hot-blooded young man, she would underestimate her observation of this man. Thinking of a possibility, Wang Yulan's eyes suddenly widened. "The bigger the commotion... the greater the results you will achieve?"
She shook her head again, "But, it's too risky..."
Cheng Ran said, "I previously made a report on the reform of the existing system, and it was Zhang Songnian who collected the report... and then there was the South District Model of District Chief Zhang."
Wang Yulan was stunned, her mind flashing with thoughts. She looked at Cheng Ran again, her eyes trembling slightly, and her voice was a little stern, "... You don't want to repair a hole... but you want to adjust the bow of the boat again!?"
"Do you know how big a storm this will cause..."
Cheng Ran looked at her and said slowly, "Sometimes, just like a person, if you don't experience the pain firsthand, the impression won't be deep enough, and it's hard to talk about changing some of the old problems... And to make it painful without hurting the root, this is one way, but it's not easy to operate and there are great risks. But that's how it is. When it comes to this kind of thing, nothing is completely certain. We can only do our best to prepare for the subsequent changes. So I told you these risks, and what happens next is up to you."
Wang Yulan suppressed the shock in her heart and looked at Cheng Ran. She finally understood why her uncle and aunt, who were of such status, would look at this man differently. What he wanted to do... was to be a catfish, stirring up this silent sea and bringing about the stormy waves in that dimension.
But Wang Yulan couldn't help but have an extremely tempting thought in her mind.
depth!
exclusive!
"I have to say that you came to me. We are the leader in the field of business newspapers. No other newspaper dares to report with the same intensity as us. If we can expose and uncover the relevant problems in the country through this, and thus achieve changes... at least this is a worthwhile and correct thing..."
Wang Yulan turned her head and looked over. "Then... I'll follow! I'll definitely follow!"
Cheng Ran was slightly stunned. Why was he so excited
…
Since he already had an answer, Cheng Ran introduced Xiaojun to Wang Yulan. In order to facilitate the operation, Xiaojun drove a Buick from the Fuluo Nanzhou Office. Wang Yulan got into the car and Cheng Ran introduced them to each other.
Cheng Ran was not worried about any personal threats or troubles he would face in HKUST. After all, he was in the open, and there were Jiang Zhou and Fu Long on his side. However, as a reporter, Wang Yulan might be under some pressure from unspoken rules. Cheng Ran was more relieved because Xiaojun was responsible for her security.
Wang Yulan was a little surprised at first, but after Xiaojun showed her his ID, Wang Yulan said to Cheng Ran, "You always give people 'surprises'..."
Then she raised her eyebrows and asked, "But if you do this in advance, aren't you afraid that I will back out?"
The content to be reported and exposed will affect the dazzling Guoxin that came out this year. How many people's interests will be affected, and how many people on this project will be involved? In Cheng Ran's words, it will even set off a reshuffle of the system and a change in the direction of the ship. Even someone like You Xiaojun was specially dispatched to protect her. Don't you know that it is done in secret? If it were an ordinary person, I'm afraid he would have shied away long ago.
Cheng Ran said, "You are involved in this matter, and you are Xie Feibai's cousin, so of course I have to tell you these circumstances. I want you to be sure in advance, and it's not too late to back out now."
Sitting next to Cheng Ran in the back seat, Wang Yulan, who was wearing a light-colored suit and looked like a professional white-collar worker, opened her red lips in surprise, "This is so exciting... Really... Couldn't you have told me and protected me in secret?"
Cheng Ran said, "Secret protection is the most unreliable method. Brother Xiaojun is a professional. Because of his professionalism, he needs to communicate with you and get your cooperation to the greatest extent, so as to guarantee your safety to the greatest extent. This is of course not to say that bad things will definitely happen, but even if there is a small possibility, it is always better to set up a line of defense first."
Wang Yulan asked, "Except for me, have you arranged everything...?"
"It's never too late to be well prepared. After all, our opponent is not just Chen Yue, there is also a huge obstacle behind him. In fact, up to now, the confidence is still not great..." Cheng Ran said, "Of course, as I said before, the risk is very high. If you want to quit, you can do so at any time."
Wang Yulan had a crazy look behind her gold-rimmed glasses. She was leaning forward in a small suit, her back straight. "Of course not. Such an exciting thing... How many times in a lifetime can one witness and participate in such a thing? I often report on similar events, but I always feel that the interviews afterward are not exciting enough. But now I'm experiencing it myself. It's so interesting..."
Perhaps after seeing Cheng Ran's expression, Wang Yulan coughed and changed her words, "… How could I miss something so profound and journalistic!"
Then, she was completely immersed in the excitement of her imagination.
Cheng Ran felt helpless when she saw Xie Feibai, the mentally paranoid OL cousin who was still excited over there. No wonder Xie Feibai had been suppressed so tightly since she was a child. She was also a wild girl at heart.
…
Not long after, a letter of complaint was submitted, accusing Chen Yue from the School of Microelectronics of USTC of stealing chips being developed by the Tianxing Computer Innovation Laboratory of the School of Computer Science and Engineering of USTC.
No response.
This April, Zhao Chen opened the Shuimu BBS forum as usual. He is not from Tsinghua University, but he is an old netizen. Although Shuimu BBS is named after a university, it is actually an open community and the most popular BBS in China.
Zhao Chen used to work in the Ministry of Justice, but was later transferred to a public institution due to downsizing. Now he is over 30 years old and has achieved nothing. He recalls his youth when he was full of vigor and passion for writing, so he uses the ID "Qingshan Kanchairman" and hangs out in various forums.
At that time, the Internet was almost a place to make a name for oneself. Middle-aged people who usually kept their heads down at work would type away on the keyboard, writing sarcastic articles one after another. Sometimes they would be seen as supporters and critics, and they would engage in debates and confrontations, talking freely and having a great time. They also gained fame through fighting. At this time, some personal online nicknames were actually more well-known than the names on their ID cards.
Zhao Chen is online today. Let’s take a look at his personal information first to see the war of replies and insults from yesterday. We should see if the kid who has not surrendered still dares to chase and bite.
As a result, I saw that there were very few replies, and the few who were there to watch the fun and make jokes didn't have anything interesting to say, so I couldn't help but lose interest. Then I wondered if it was because the post was no longer famous, and there was no longer the "spectacular" scene of hundreds of replies to a topic post. But I rejected this possibility and thought that maybe it was the BBS's fault today. It was the weekend and there were not enough people online.
After replying to a few posts without much interest, I remembered to browse the top ten hot topics as usual. At this time, I saw a new message in my personal email. I opened it and found that it was also a BBS celebrity. His ID name was "Guan Shan Mo Ke", and the moderator of the "Social Information" forum. This person is a lawyer in real life. Because he often talks about current affairs and has quite a few opinions, he is known as one of the "Four New Youth Constitutional Scholars". Seeing that "Qingshan Kanchai Ren" was replying, he quickly contacted him and asked, "Brother Kanchai Ren, have you seen the hot topic today? The so-called milestone Guoxin chip of Chen Yue, the dean of the Microelectronics Institute of HKUST, was exposed to plagiarism and fraud!"
It can be seen that "Guanshan Mo Ke" was typing very quickly, and the hyperlink information that was forwarded afterwards was from the second private message.
In fact, Zhao Chen didn’t need to click on the link, because he immediately saw many popular post titles on the “Culture and Humanities” page that popped up from the post he had just replied to.
"Everyone, please go to the academic science section and read the top post about the USTC National Chip Incident! Breaking news!"
"The National Chip of HKUST has a problem, link is included..."
"Sudden earthquake, what happened? Why did everyone change the topic..."
"I read that post and I doubt its authenticity. To be honest, I don't really believe it..."
"Doesn't Guoxin claim to have internationally competitive embedded chips? How can this be plagiarism or fraud? The person who leaked this news probably doesn't know the inspection system? Are the relevant expert groups all vegetarians?"
"Can someone please give me a link..."
Zhao Chen looked at the series of headlines that were flooding the forum. He no longer needed to look for them deliberately. The original link was listed by the moderator in the first post of this forum. Zhao Chen could click on it and directly reach the exposed post of the poster.
"The Woodcutter in the Green Mountains" and countless other onlookers at this time, followed the Internet and became one of the large army of onlookers, rushing towards the exposure post.
