Mark. Ford was visibly relieved: "Oh, that's great, I don't want more people to know about it." ”

"This ...... I'm afraid it's not easy. ”

Wei Ting frowned slightly: "Mr. Ford, I have written an article on system bugs and computer security, and I am ready to submit it to Personal Computer, I heard that this publication is quite famous. ”

"No, you can't do that!" Mark. Ford blurted out.

"What's wrong with Mr. Ford?" Principal Lin Yundong asked the interpreter on the side a little nervously, he was worried that his students would not know how to be polite and offend foreign friends.

"This ...... It seems that this Wei Ting classmate wants to write an article on computer security, and Mr. Ford disagrees. "The translator can't keep up with the speed of the two, and he is not very familiar with the computer, so he can only rely on speculation to translate, which probably means good.

"Wei Ting, since Mr. Ford doesn't agree with you to write it, then don't write it." What Lin Yundong means is that people are experts, and since they don't let you write, it must be because there is no value in writing.

Wei Ting rolled her eyes, didn't answer the principal's words, but looked at Mark with a puzzled face. Ford: "Why? I think this kind of article will not only be published in PC magazine, but will also be of interest to many readers, right? ”

There are readers who are interested, but whether it is seen by customers or by competitors, it is not good for Microsoft company. At this time, Microsoft had not yet fully established the kind of hegemony in later generations, and its confidence was not so strong.

Feeling a little out of his way, Mark. Ford took a deep breath, tried to make his expression look lighter, and said, "Miss Wei, can we talk about it alone?" ”

"Of course."

Wei Ting turned her head and whispered to Gan Tian, who was still stunned behind her, "Help me clean up the dishes, I have some things to deal with." ”

"Tingting, nothing will happen, right?" Gan Tian reacted and asked a little uneasily.

"It's okay, normal cultural exchange." Wei Ting unconsciously raised this conversation to a higher level.

Lin Yundong and Zheng Xiaojie, who was teaching computer courses, watched the two of them walk to the corner of the restaurant with complicated expressions after listening to the words of the translator...... They now have a request for foreigners, so naturally they don't want Wei Ting to offend each other.

"This classmate Wei's foreign language is good." Lin Yundong suddenly said such a sentence, and the two people next to him were inexplicable.

After moving away from the hearing range of the crowd, Mark. Ford lowered his voice and said, "Miss Wei, "Personal Computer" is a very popular magazine in the United States, and if you publish your article in this magazine, our company will suffer serious losses. ”

"Heavy losses?"

Wei Ting pretended to be indifferent: "With the strength of Microsoft, you won't care much about losing 18 million, right?" ”

"Why don't you care?!"

Mark. Ford's face was ugly: "Once this news is made public, our company's operating system will be questioned, the market share will decline, and the loss will be more than 10 million?!" ”

"So what do you say?" Wei Ting had an innocent expression on her face.

Mark. Ford said, "Miss Wei, can you sell me this article you are going to write?" And then pretended not to know that it had ever happened. In terms of price, you can drive it casually. ”

Wei Ting showed a little fox-like smile on her face and asked, "What, you mean to say that your Microsoft company is going to pay me to keep my mouth shut?" ”

"Uh...... Of course not that's what it means. ”

Mark. "We're just hoping you'll give us some time, though, and we're organizing people to fix that right now," Ford said. Of course, we're sorry for keeping you silent, so I can ask the company to give you a very generous amount of compensation, say, $2,000? ”

Two thousand dollars is a huge amount of money in this era, and the dollars on the black market have been sold to a price of 1 to 9, if Wei Ting gets these two thousand dollars, she can exchange nearly 20,000 yuan on the black market as soon as she changes hands, and suddenly becomes a 10,000 yuan household. Mark. Ford has some understanding of the per capita income level of Chinese, and he believes that such a huge amount of money will definitely be able to make the little girl in front of him excited.

It's a pity that Mark. Mr. Ford met a time-traveling person, when Wei Ting worked at Microsoft, he received an annual salary, and if converted into a monthly salary, it was definitely dozens of times this number.

"Mr. Ford, you have to pay attention to principles in life, and I will never do such a thing as collecting money and sealing your mouth." Wei Ting is very righteous and awe-inspiring, which is also obviously bullying the other party between urban and rural areas.

"I know...... But ...... "Mark. Ford was speechless, he really couldn't think of any other way to silence Wei Ting than to spend money. He didn't dare to think about such a thing as killing people and killing people...... At least in China, he wouldn't dare.

"I'm not done yet."

See Mark. Ford's anxious appearance, Wei Ting suddenly became a little reasonable: "Considering the possibility of adversely affecting your company, I can not publish this article for the time being." In fact, not only did I find a vulnerability in your company's operating system, but I also conducted in-depth research on the cause of the vulnerability and came up with some results. I've rewritten a program for your control system that perfectly solves the problems I've found so far. I'd love to know if your company would be interested in buying this piece of program that I wrote. ”

"You're saying that you found a bug in the program and gave you a patch to fix it?" Mark. Ford's face looked like he saw Jesus jump from the cross, and he shook his head and said, "That's impossible, our source code has never been released, you can't know what kind of problems exist in the code." ”

Wei Ting took out another piece of paper, handed it to him, and said, "Mr. Ford, don't be too subjective. This is a bug I found and a patch that I designed, you can send it to your software programmers, if they think my point of view is correct, and the patch I designed is also working, then let's talk about the transaction, how about it? ”

Mark. Ford took the piece of paper with some hesitation: "Miss Wei, you are just relieved to hand over your results to me?" ”

Wei Ting said: "I know that Americans are the most trustworthy, do I have anything to worry about doing business with Americans?" ”

Mark. Ford smiled with satisfaction: "Yes, yes, of course we are talking about credit." ”

Wei Ting smiled: "I found a total of six bugs in your company's MS-DOS5.0 operating system, involving six different parameter settings. What I'm submitting to you now is just one of them. The other five will be submitted to you after we have signed a contract between us. Of course, you can also refuse to cooperate with me, I believe that there will be many people who are interested in these things. ”

"No, no, Miss Wei, this will not happen."

Although it was July weather, Mark. Ford only felt sweaty, and the young girl in front of him suddenly changed from an angel to a demon, and she was wielding a small fork to blackmail. Although he was angry, his sore feet were pinched in the hands of others, and he had no other choice. And there is still a trace of luck in his heart, after all, the other party's age is too young, and he only hopes that this is a false alarm.

"I'll give you two days, I think, it shouldn't take that much time to test a patch, right? And,"

Wei Ting paused for a moment, and then said: "This matter, except for your company and me, I don't want anyone else to know and intervene, otherwise this transaction will be canceled!" ”

"Don't worry, Miss Wei, I will contact the company immediately, and no one else will know." Mark. Ford hasn't thought too much about it right now, and swears by the promises.
