Chapter 588: Framing Microsoft

On April 8, Silicon Valley compiled statistics on the dangers caused by the "unknown virus" for a week, and a total of $160 billion worth of network hardware was destroyed, indirectly causing $2 trillion in economic losses.

Researchers have designated April 1, 2001, April Fool's Day, as "Global Internet Catastrophe Day", and economists claim that after this day, it will trigger a global financial crisis, and all countries will face a serious challenge, because tens of thousands of companies are expected to go bankrupt and collapse around the world, and more than 2 million people will lose their jobs.

unknown, which translates to "unknown" in Chinese.

The meaning of unknown virus is that no country or a certain Internet company in the world has discovered the source of the virus, as well as the original text of the virus.

It's like a ghost, destroying millions of computers, hundreds of thousands of servers, but leaving no trace.

The Pentagon, the military of the magnesium country, has issued the highest level of Internet security alert, claiming that there is a terrorist hacker group lurking in the world, and their computer technology, very sophisticated, not only successfully invaded the Pentagon, in order to cover their real IP, not to be discovered, but also created this Internet catastrophe that affected the world, and the resulting financial crisis of the entire technology industry.

In the past few days, Li Feiteng has been pretending to be busy with the post-disaster reconstruction work of Google Group, but he has been thinking about one more thing.

Is it true that the virus has not been discovered?

The answer is no, at least Microsoft Group, at least Bill Gates will certainly be able to find out. Viruses are vulnerabilities that pass them to unknown systems. thus spreading and causing destruction.

But. Why didn't Microsoft come forward, and why didn't it publish the source text of the virus?

Li Feiteng thought that they might not have found the source text Jiàn yet.

The virus he created used was ten years later in disguise and incubation, and it was very simple to find out, which was to spend a huge amount of manpower to investigate and test and scan one by one. It is possible to discover the "giant TNT".

However, for a group like Microsoft, which has more than 100,000 programmers and engineers, it may only take a few hours to find out his virus.

……

Microsoft Headquarters.

Bill Gates sat in the office with a gloomy face, of course he had found the source of the virus, although he had not yet cracked it, but he had already made out the scanning and anti-virus software.

Although the antivirus software had been developed, he was very reluctant to publish it. Because people will find that the virus is actually disguised as a Microsoft system to spread and cause damage.

And so it goes. Microsoft's system is bound to be the scapegoat for this catastrophe.

Don't look at the Microsoft empire is so powerful, once there is a credibility crisis, the empire of those decades may collapse in a moment.

Because Microsoft is not the only one, there are many companies that can replace them, and the monopoly is not the only one, unless it is the monopoly of the national economy, there is no real monopoly in any commercial industry.

"Mary, help me get through the White House. Bill Gates thought about it for a long time, he was going to meet a few politicians, paper can't contain fire, the only thing that can be changed is to falsely report the characteristics of the virus, and list the unknown virus as a state secret, an unknown mystery.

In this way, Microsoft will be able to maintain its reputation.

It's just that before Mary's phone call could get through, her secretary brought a report.

"Mary, Google has reported on the unknown virus and announced what we are secreting, so tell Mr. Sù Gates. ”

"Oh my God!" exclaimed Mary, who quickly stopped and ran in with the report.

As soon as Bill Gates received the report and glanced at the content of Google News, he suddenly felt the urge to vomit blood.

"Is this Google going to war with Microsoft?"

Google News: Unknown virus, real name is giantism. TNT, referred to as GTNT, a super destructive virus spread by Microsoft's multiple system platforms, as well as Microsoft's email system, has a variety of characteristics such as ghosts, Trojan horses, explosive information, etc., the virus has caused our Google Group hundreds of millions of dollars in losses, the security of Microsoft's system makes us worth pondering, our chairman Mr. Wang Li, ordered Google Group to use non-Microsoft systems in the future, all using open source code systems.

We were the first to find the virus, Microsoft, what are you doing?

Or, what conspiracy and secrets are hidden behind the virus, or the creator of the virus, perhaps within Microsoft?

……

As soon as this news came out, it pushed Microsoft to a commanding heights of public opinion, which is not a good thing, because all countries around the world have questioned Microsoft at the first time, and they also hope that the military network of the magnesium country can take tough measures to investigate Microsoft.

Demands from various countries have come to suspend Microsoft, to let Microsoft publish the open source code of various system versions, and to split Microsoft.

Microsoft's PR team is simply overwhelmed.

However, things are not so simple, after the news of Google came out, a Silicon Valley Internet company named Millie sued Microsoft Group to court for the crime of intentionally spreading viruses.

Millie, as the first company to sue Microsoft, suddenly became popular all over the world, so, one after another, Internet companies sued Microsoft Group one after another.

Among them, Li Feiteng is also included.

For a time, all kinds of public opinion pressure, all kinds of court summons from all over the world, made Microsoft Group fall into a super passive position.

It's just that Microsoft, as an empire, has a considerable ability to withstand pressure and risk, and even under such a severe catastrophe, the government of the magnesium country still chose to protect Microsoft and made a series of statements against unsubstantiated speculation.

Yanjing.

On April 10, Huaxia Google Group was formally established, and its subsidiaries include: Qingmu, Soarc, NetEase, Longteng, Baidu, Yunteng, Shanda, Taobao and other network companies.

In short, all of his Internet companies, through the Google Group, completed the acquisition of shares.

Li Feiteng didn't expect that he had always been difficult to achieve the great unification, because he had already had a catastrophe and successfully merged all the companies together.

The reason is very simple, under the catastrophe, Li Feiteng himself was also ruthless to himself, large and small companies have suffered heavy losses, they have no turnover themselves, and they have been investing.

His own company is going to go bankrupt, but what will happen to companies in Europe and the United States?

Li Feiteng doesn't know, and he doesn't need to know, after he acquired all of them this time, the shares of Google Group were re-owned to 90%, and all the shares of its subsidiaries were controlled by the headquarters, completely integrated into a large group.

Although Google Group, because of the Internet catastrophe, has become a company with an estimated value of only $3 billion, which has shrunk 15 times, equivalent to one-tenth of what it was before last month, he is well aware that the economic setback is only temporary, and he expects that after 2020, the Internet economy will catch up with the previous life of 2015.
