Gyeonggi-do, Hankook, Samsung Group Headquarters.

When Chairman Hitachi bowed and apologized to hundreds of cameras, the excitement of the Samsung Group executives almost climaxed.

Samsung has always regarded Hitachi as one of its biggest competitors in Asia, because Hitachi has too many businesses overlapping with Samsung, ranging from network information equipment, mechanical and electrical equipment, public transportation facilities, construction equipment, auto parts, finance, chemicals, transportation, ships, real estate, etc.;

It is as small as the most common TV, washing machine, refrigerator, computer, battery, hard disk, mobile phone, camera, camcorder, DVD player, Blu-ray player, elevator and so on.

Almost all the fields that Samsung has entered have the shadow of Hitachi.

The two sides have always been fighting openly and secretly, and they have also faced Bo Gongting many times, winning and losing each other.

In July 2019, after the outbreak of the conflict between South Korea and Japan, old rival Hitachi and several other competitors joined forces to fall into the ground, and finally Nikbenzene announced that it would restrict the export of three semiconductor materials - "fluorinated polyimide", "photoresist" and "hydrogen fluoride" to South Korea, and Samsung almost stopped production because of this.

Lee Jae-young, the prince of Samsung, knelt on the ground and begged for mercy for 6 days and 5 nights in Japan, and the government was unmoved.

In the end, it was under the mediation of the United States that the Japanese government finally released Samsung Electronics.

It can be said that Samsung and Hitachi have irreconcilable contradictions.

Now people are sitting at home, happy from the sky, Samsung didn't do anything, and the hackers helped them clean up Hitachi and avenge the revenge.

According to inside information, Hitachi suffered heavy losses this time.

According to conservative estimates, the direct economic losses amounted to two billion dollars, and the indirect losses could not be estimated!

And once the database can't be repaired in a short period of time, or can't be repaired, it's not a two-billion dollar thing.

At half past five in the evening, in the general manager's office of Samsung's headquarters building, Prince Lee Jae-young and three confidant executives toasted in celebration.

"Cheers!"

"Cheers ......"

The four of them looked up and drank the red wine from their glasses.

On the wall opposite them, a huge LCD screen is replaying the scene of Hitachi Chairman Daichi Uchida bowing and apologetic, and the flash at the press conference converges into a sea of light, and Uchida's ashamed expression is unobstructed on the ultra-high-definition screen.

"Hahaha......"

The four men in the office laughed as they watched.

Li Zairong picked up the red wine bottle and poured himself another glass of red wine, looked at the TV, and said with the corners of his mouth slightly curled: "You know, I once bowed in front of him and apologized, begging him to raise his noble hand and let go of three stars."

Do you know what he said?

He said, everything is doomed, let's admit defeat obediently!"

Speaking of this, Lee Jae-young laughed heartily, and the three henchmen and executives also laughed together.

"This old bastard forgot a word from our Han Kingdom, thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, the one who has the last laugh is the real winner!"

"What the elder said is great, Hitachi has today's fate is self-inflicted. ”

"Haha~ If I knew who that hacker was, I would definitely privately sponsor him with 1,000 won so that he could hack Hitachi's data centers in other countries again!"

"Yes, yes, count me one, I also privately sponsor him for 1000 won~"

"You two guys, when you are hackers, you have to ask for food, how can 2,000 won be enough...... At least add my 1,000 won. ”

"You guys... Remember, take advantage of his illness to kill him, and you must take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to seize as much of Hitachi's market as possible. ”

"Rest assured, you will grow up, everything is ready. ”

"Haha, that's good......"

Everyone also laughed with Lee Jae-young.

After being happy for a while, Lee Jae-young put down his wine glass, stretched out his hand and signaled, and the handsome secretary behind him immediately gave him a cigar and lit it for him.

Lee Jae-young took a puff, then leaned back on the beige leather sofa, slowly protruding the smoke against the ceiling, and asked nonchalantly, "How is that company in China?"

A round-faced henchman executive also put down his wine glass and said with a smile: "There has been no movement recently, and there is news that they have successfully developed a 14nm lithography machine, but the specific details are not clear." ”

Another fat man said, "I don't think there's any need to worry about it. The two technical bottlenecks of light source lasers and lenses will not be broken by China within ten years!"

Lee Jae-young turned his head to look at the fat henchman who was speaking, pointed at him with his finger holding a cigar, and said, "You underestimate the R&D capabilities of this company too much." To tell you, I have a hunch that this company will definitely become our competitor in the future, and it won't be for long. ”

"No......"

"Heh~" Lee Jae-young sneered, a sinister glint flashing in his eyes, "Remember, in Samsung's sphere of influence, you can't let them get the slightest bit of technical support, and you have to do everything you can to sabotage their research and development, even if you take extraordinary measures!"

"Got it, I'll grow up~"

……

Ten o'clock in the evening.

At the Hitachi IC Center in Kamisagawa Town, Hokkaido, Nippon, hundreds of data experts are working hard to restore data.

But the reality is very cruel, despite the technical support of the United States, the data recovery speed is very slow, and it took nearly 20 hours to recover less than 5TB of data.

At the current pace, it may take more than half a year to recover all 1,100 TB of data.

Thinking of this fact, Hitachi's top brass was almost on the verge of collapse.

Uchida Daichi seemed to have aged more than a decade overnight, and he didn't find any comfort in his heart when he looked at the engineers who were working tirelessly in front of the computer.

At this time, the person standing next to Daichi Uchida was none other than Taiga Yanagisawa, president of Hitachi's Wako Technology Manufacturing Company.

Originally, he thought that he was going to leave Hitachi gloomily, but he didn't expect that the Hitachi database was also attacked and saved his life, so he naturally didn't have to take the blame for leaving Hitachi.

Looking at Uchida Daichi's old face, Yanagisawa Taiga hesitated for a long time, and finally spoke: "President ......"

Uchida didn't speak, and he didn't even roll his eyeballs.

Regardless of whether Hitachi can survive this crisis or not, he will be fully responsible for it afterwards.

He joined Hitachi at the age of 28 after graduating with a doctorate, and it has been nearly 40 years since he started, starting as a small researcher with no background and working his way up to the chairman of Hitachi.

I was about to retire, but I didn't expect it to end up ......

Yanagisawa Taiga could vaguely guess Uchida's mood at the moment, after all, he had empathized with it before.

But now is not the time to talk about that, Yanagisawa continued: "...... early this morning"

Yanagisawa told the story of what happened in the early hours of the morning.

Uchida Daichi, who was originally indifferent, listened to it, and his face changed, and he didn't blame Yanagisawa Taiga for not telling such important news until now, but asked, "Do you suspect it......"

Yanazawa Taihe's action against Xinghai Technology was agreed to by him, and it was also instructed by the Japanese government.

Yanagisawa Dahe nodded, "At present, only Mi Guo and Xinghai Group in the world have mastered the development method of intelligent programs, who can they be?"

Uchida Daichi muttered, "Hmm, what you said makes sense. The problem is that the CX code is public, and we don't have any evidence that they did it. ”

Yanagisawa Taiga frowned and said, "This is where they are cunning. I suspect that's why they chose to expose the CX code in the first place!"

Uchida Daichi felt that Yanagisawa Taiga's analysis was the truth of the facts, so he was very angry in his heart.

But reason told him again that it was useless to be angry at this moment.

The mall is like a battlefield, and it is understandable that the other party uses any means, after all, they also create trouble for the other party through various methods.

It's just that the trick of putting a virus into the database is too despicable, and it's completely killing them......

"So what do you say?"

Yanazawa Taihe hesitated for a while and said: "There is an old Chinese saying that the bell must be tied to the bell ......."
