February 9, 2000, the fifth day of the Lunar New Year.

When Li Xiaoming and Chen Wu were still immersed in the joyful atmosphere of the New Year, they received a phone call from Zhang Li in Rongcheng, so the two rushed back to the company before Comrade Wang.

When the two arrived at the Shiyang bus station in Rongcheng at 5 p.m. that day, Zhang Li was already waiting for them there.

While the three of them walked towards the V6 Toyota crown that Zhang Li bought newly, Zhang Li said in detail: "Now several unfavorable factors are affecting us, we are a little at a loss now, and we need you to come to the town quickly." ”

Chen Wu listened to Li Xiaoming briefly talk about the reason for the matter, and he couldn't take care of it calmly, so he said directly to Zhang Li: "Brother Zhang, tell me in detail, what's going on?"

Zhang Li sat in the cab, started the car and said: "That's the case, yesterday in Zhejiang Province because of the equipment problem in "Legend", there was a serious criminal case in an Internet café. The reason was that a player in the Internet café hit a staff of judgment and shouted out too excitedly, but was blackmailed by the gangsters in the Internet café, and finally the fight ended up killing him. ”

Zhang Li paused and continued: "The most important problem is that there are minors involved in the case. ”

Li Xiaoming rubbed his eyebrows and said: "I have contacted Ma's father's side, and he said that the local media has reacted very strongly, and Ma's father has been helping us with the public relations work here, but he can't help beyond the scope of Zhejiang Province, it depends on our side." ”

"Have Brother Zhao of legal affairs and Brother Liu of administration been notified?"

"They've arrived at the company, just waiting for you to arrive. ”

"Okay, I'll talk about it when we get there. ”

Zhang Li continued: "There is another thing, the disaster is not a one-way street, it is true! Now our server-side program has suddenly appeared on the Internet, I have already analyzed it, it is not the technical outflow of our side, it is more like an independent handiwork." Because their technology is not on the same level as ours, it is very rudimentary. ”

"What!?"

Li Xiaoming and Chen Wu's surprise is not trivial, this matter will definitely have a very bad impact on the company, how did the "Legend" of the later generations decline, one is auxiliary, and the other culprit and even the biggest cancer is the leakage of the source code of the server, which has led to a large number of private servers and official competition for the market on the market.

Now Li Xiaoming and Chen Wu are a little numb, why did they come to so many unlucky things before the end of this year, and they still made an appointment to come together.

……

The three of them quickly came to the company, and Zhao Zhizhao, the manager of the legal department, Liu Xiang, the manager of the administrative department, and Zheng Shuang, the director of the field department, were already waiting for them in the conference room.

Li Xiaoming didn't care about nonsense, sat down and started to release the task directly: "First of all, the media and public relations in Zhejiang Province believe in Ma's father, there is his territory, and we are responsible for dealing with other provinces in China." ”

"The way to deal with it is by no means to evade responsibility, we need to clarify a few points, and at the same time guide public opinion to the extent that we can control. ”

"First of all, try to guide the topic of minors, and at the same time, the company came forward to admit that it is not conducive to the supervision of underage players, and immediately introduce remedial measures, and Brother Zhang will lead the technical department, and immediately launch the anti-addiction system, and you must enter your real name and ID number to play without restrictions, otherwise the game time is limited to two hours per day. ”

"This matter requires the cooperation of legal affairs and the field side, and immediately contact the relevant authorities to support our system. ”

"At the same time, a condolence group was formed to immediately go to the place of the incident, and I hereby authorize the condolence group to take all necessary measures to comfort the families of the victims. ”

"Although the player's self-behavior has nothing to do with us, as a leading company in the Internet, we must take our due responsibility. ”

"Finally, convene the media to issue a press release, unite [Rainbow] and "Legend", the three major sections of the trading platform, and send the press release to me before all the media report it!

Everyone took Li Xiaoming's words in their notebooks very seriously, and then hurriedly got busy.

And Li Xiaoming and Chen Wu left the conference room, turned on the computer and immediately began to analyze the server side that Zhang Li got back.

Chen Wu began to decompile the program to find out if he could find clues.

Li Xiaoming, on the other hand, immediately started to find the source of transmission from the transmission path, and must strangle this behavior in the cradle.

In the next half hour, the heads of various departments successively reported their work to Li Xiaoming and the others.

Announcements of the incident and apologies have been released through games, instant messaging apps, and trading platforms.

The press conference is scheduled for 9 a.m. the next day at the company.

Led by Liu Xiang of the Administration Department and Zhao Zhi of the Ministry of Justice, a condolence group was immediately formed to rush to Zhejiang Province tomorrow afternoon to visit the families of the victims, and actively cooperate with the local police in the investigation and collection of evidence.

And Li Xiaoming and the others were always in front of the computer, and they didn't bother to eat dinner.

It wasn't until two o'clock in the morning that Chen Wu opened his mouth and said to Li Xiaoming: "There is a clue, but you need to verify it, the writing of this code is not like the current technology in China, I suspect that it is from the side of the Southern Dynasty." ”

Li Xiaoming replied while operating the computer: "I have almost found out the transmission route, I can be sure that it is not in the country, but it is not from the Southern Dynasty and needs more evidence, I will continue to investigate, if you go down and buy some food, I will starve to death." ”

Chen Wu nodded and stood up, and Li Xiaoming added: "Buy two packs of cigarettes, Nima, it's really brain-burning, I can't bear it." ”

Zhang Li also came over and said: "I have already invaded the forum that spread, and the original post has also been deleted, but seeing that the number of downloads has exceeded 200 now, the next time may be very troublesome." ”

Li Xiaoming frowned and nodded: "Just do what you can do, I will have some time to get the results here, and this matter may not be a bad thing, let's talk about the results when we find out." ”

"Isn't it a bad thing?" Zhang Li was confused by Li Xiaoming's words, but he didn't ask again, today he is destined to always pay attention to the movements on the Internet and try to reduce the spread channels, just do it well, and he can't do anything else.

After a while, Chen Wu just bought the food, and Li Xiaoming suddenly slapped the table and scolded: "Uncle, it is really the turtle grandson of the Southern Dynasty." ”

"What? found out?" Chen Wu and Zhang Li both rushed to Li Xiaoming's side and stared at Li Xiaoming's computer without blinking.

Li Xiaoming pointed to the screen and said: "Fortunately, this guy is too stupid, they all use ICQ for communication, the chat history has been checked, and the upload channel has also been checked." ”

"Has the evidence been preserved?"

"Of course, it doesn't depend on who I am. ”

"So what to do next. ”

Li Xiaoming was silent for a moment, looked at the two of them with a strange expression and said, "You say, if we go abroad, will we become famous?"

"Do you want to make a big fuss?" Chen Wu was silent for a moment, and said uncertainly: "If you really do this, it's hard to say whether we can win the lawsuit, but most of the fame is out." ”

"It doesn't matter if you win or not, sue him and let him compensate us with $1 billion, who wouldn't open his mouth! The main thing is to be famous!" Li Xiaoming said nonchalantly.

Zhang Li looked at the two of them and felt that his thinking had not kept up with their pace, so he asked: "Why are you famous? The more famous this thing is, the more people are interested in this privately developed server, which is definitely not a good thing for us!"

Li Xiaoming smiled and said to Zhang Li: "Brother Zhang, you don't understand this! As long as he is famous, no matter what his name is, if he uses it well, it will be a benefit." ”

"Oh, what are you going to do? Laughing so insidious?"

"Let's go to the world to make money from foreigners!" Li Xiaoming and the two looked at each other with great tacit understanding.
