98 Arrogance
The new operating system was soon installed on the computer.
After the system was installed, it entered the desktop of the computer.
Then, everyone saw the majestic golden dragon swimming on the desktop in a lifelike manner.
The dragon glanced around, it was as if it was alive.
When the divine dragon turned its body, its eyes on the screen seemed to be filled with mockery.
“President Li, the plan to cut off the internet and reinstall the system is not feasible!”
“I think the way to make this computer work is to reformat it and then reinstall the system. After resetting the system, we must not connect it to our company’s network. Otherwise, it will be infected again.”
“If we want to get rid of the virus on our company’s network, the first step is to disconnect all the equipment and replace all the network equipment. The second step is to format the data of all the equipment. The third step is to reset the system. The fourth step is to connect to the network and redeploy the server, website, and app service.” Zhou Linlin expressed his professional opinion.
It was absolutely impossible to clear all the data on the server!
If the user data is all cleared, all users will not be able to sign in to any app developed by Tencent.
This would be a fatal blow to Tencent Corporation.
This was definitely no laughing matter, but something that was totally plausible.
Once a user could not log in to the Tencent chat software for a few days, the data stored in the Tencent chat software would all disappear. His friends, group chats, photos, published logs, and a series of other things would all disappear.
How many people would then remain in the Tencent chat software?
There were many substitute products on the market! They could instantly replace the Tencent chat software.
After hearing Zhou Linlin’s words, Li Jinteng’s expression immediately turned cold.
The others also looked at Li Jinteng.
Li Jinteng was stuck between a rock and a hard place.
“Niu Quan, let the others leave first.” Li Jinteng waved at Niu Quan, then frowned and continued, “Li Lin, call lawyer Zhang Yunjian over.”
Zhang Yunjian, lead legal counsel of Tencent Corporation, was a very sharp and capable staff. She had provided strong legal support throughout the company’s development. Although she was a woman, she was extremely assertive and driven.
Zhang Yunjian had shoulder-length hair and looked very sharp in a white suit and black heels. She exuded an air of professionalism and competence.
Her face was stern and glum as she listened to Li Lin’s account.
“Does the other party have evidence that we hacked his software? This is the most critical point!” In an instant, she went to the crux of the matter.
“I don’t know! But the possibility is very high,” Dr. Li Lin said after thinking for a while.
“The other party’s technology is too strong. I think he might have evidence that we hacked his software.” Niu Quan also expressed his opinion.
After Zhang Yunjian frowned slightly and said to Li Jinteng, “President Li, if the other party doesn’t have evidence that we hacked his software, I suggest that we call the police immediately to deal with it. Divine Dragon Software Company and Li Chengqian will definitely go to jail.”
The entire suite of Tencent Corporation’s products was promoting the Divine Dragon Optimization App. The advertising fee was hundreds of thousands of yuan per minute. The total sum would be astronomical and the perpetrator could be sentenced to three to seven years of imprisonment.
“If the other party has evidence that we hacked his software, we will definitely lose this lawsuit.”
Zhang Yunjian wouldn’t want to risk it.
If they lost the lawsuit, Tencent Corporation and Li Jinteng would suffer huge blows to their reputations.
“President Li, I propose that we mediate with the Divine Dragon Software Company immediately.”
“The longer this drags on, the more disadvantageous it will be for us.” Zhang Yunjian gave her final suggestion.
…
Meanwhile, over at the Divine Dragon Software Company, Li Chengqian took his hands off the laptop with a smile.
“Tencent Corporation is indeed generous!”
“The computational power of the rented supercomputer is at least 10,000 times that of a normal computer. Later on, it was even increased to 20,000 times.”
“A day’s rent might be more than half a million.”
“What a kind soul!” Li Chengqian sighed and closed the laptop.
Borrowing the powerful computing power of the supercomputer, he had already deduced all the ideas he wanted to verify.
The result of the deduction was in his laptop.
Preliminary design plans for the brainwave receiver!
All the core equipment in this design plan was available in the real world. As long as he purchased them, they could be assembled and tested.
Through this plan, brainwaves could be amplified a thousand times to filter out the clutter in the brainwaves.
“I need to purchase a batch of special processors and other materials… I also need to customize some other parts.”
“After the various materials arrive, I’ll assemble one to experiment and test the effect.”
“If the effect is good, the next step is to code brainwaves.” The so-called brainwave coding was when one thought of the word ‘you’ in one’s head, the brainwaves would be recognized as the word ‘you’ in the computer.
This may seem simple, but in fact, it was exceedingly difficult.
To put it simply, when one’s brain was thinking about a certain word, there would be a fluctuation in the brain waves. After this fluctuation was recognized by the computer, it would be stored in the computer in the form of a potential code like 000100101. What Li Chengqian had to do was to match 000100101 with the word to form a complete mapping relationship.
“President Li, Tencent Corporation just called and said that they want to cut a deal with you.” Zhao Na pushed the door open and entered. She had just received a call from the lawyer of Tencent Corporation asking to speak to Li Chengqian.
“Tencent Corporation’s network, system, and server are all malfunctioning at the moment. They heard that you are very good with technology and would like you to help them resolve the issue.”
“They said that as long as the problem can be resolved, you may name your price.” Zhao Na repeated what the other party said.
“No negotiation!” Li Chengqian gave a flat no.
“Why not?” Zhao Na asked in bewilderment. If Li Chengqian could really solve Tencent Corporation’s cybersecurity issues, Divine Dragon Software Company’s reputation would definitely rise to another level. They could also develop new products and services and this would be very beneficial for the company’s development.
“If you want my help, you have to be sincere. You have to at least be respectful!”
“At the very least, they should come to Tianyi City to talk.”
“At the very least, their CEO has to come over and talk.”
“This is how you show respect to us.”
“I don’t care much about money. What I care about is the respect of others.”
“Tell Tencent Corporation exactly what I said. If they’re really sincere, they’ll do as I say,” Li Chengqian said coldly.
When the Divine Dragon Optimization App was released, Tencent Corporation’s app store also took down the App and issued a security warning.
From yesterday to today, Tencent Corporation rented a supercomputer to hack the source code of the Divine Dragon Optimization App.
Li Chengqian has made a mental note of each and every one of these incidents.
Li Chengqian had nothing to do with Tencent Corporation’s server being controlled. Everything happened as a result of the anti-hacking program being triggered by attempts to hack the Divine Dragon Optimization App.What has this got to do with him?
Moreover, what was Li Chengqian’s initial goal?
Battle! Battle! All the companies that removed the Divine Dragon Optimization App from their app stores have now been beaten to a pulp.
…
After reading the request sent by the Divine Dragon Software Company, Li Jinteng’s face became sullen.
“A despicable person being arrogant!”
“Arrogant, he’s simply too arrogant!”
“Does he really think that he can do whatever he wants just because he’s skilled?”
“Does he really think that no one can stop him?”
“President Li, we need him more than he needs us now, we are being held ransom, so unfortunately he has the last word.” Zhang Yunjian was in fact furious, but she didn’t show it.
Tencent Corporation has always been used to getting their way in everything. Now that someone was acting high and mighty in front of them, Zhang Yunjian really couldn’t take it lying down.
Unfortunately, she had no choice but to suck it up too.
Tencent Corporation really had to grovel at Li Chengqian’s feet.
Imagine the extent of humiliation!
“Bear with it for a while and solve the problem. We have plenty of ways to fix him in the future.”
Zhang Yunjian narrowed her steely cold eyes. She meant business.
