2099 A.D., September 10, S City, Tianshu Building. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

22:00 p.m.

In the past, most of the employees of Tianshu Group had already left work, leaving only some people on duty. But today, everyone was still nervously busy, and several executives had angry and helpless expressions on their faces.

As one of the country's top gaming companies, Tianshu Group has proudly claimed that its network is the safest place outside the Ministry of Defense for so many years, but at this moment, the company is suffering from a serious cyber attack.

All the networks of the group, including the internal network and the external network, are paralyzed, the computers and mobile phones in the building are all black, and even the electronic monitoring is out of control, and the monitoring screen is covered with snowflakes. What's worse is that the game servers are also in a state of crash.

The cyberattack has been going on for a full hour now.

This has never been done in the history of Tianshu.

Even a fool understands what this cyber attack, which lasted more than an hour, means to a company like Tianshu Group, which has an annual operating income of more than 80 billion yuan.

However, Zhang Yi, the chairman of Tianshu Group, is most worried about not these direct economic losses, but some important information being stolen by hackers, especially the project data of the "Tianheng Project".

The "Tianheng Plan" is the most ambitious plan of Tianshu Group, and it is also one that has been criticized in recent years.

It has been a full decade since the project was established.

In the past ten years, Tianshu has undergone many major changes, including the shrinkage of the stock market value, the loss of the position of the leading game developer in country C, and so on. These are all inseparable from the "Tianheng Plan".

But Mr. Zhang remained steadfast in his support of the project until a heated board argument six months ago.

The "Tianheng" project is simply a game development project, and the person in charge of the project is Ouyang Sui, the chief engineer of the group, a person who has brought countless honors and fortunes to the group.

Ouyang Sui is of course a genius at making games.

Twenty years ago, when Zhang Yi first met Ouyang Sui in the talent market, Ouyang Sui was a man with black-rimmed glasses, a crumpled T-shirt on his upper body, and a pair of white sneakers, talking about his game philosophy with a hiring manager at a game company.

The hiring manager looked impatient and asked Ouyang Sui directly if he could write code, Ouyang Sui was stunned and said yes, but he didn't want to write it. So the hiring manager sent him away.

Zhang Yi felt that this person was very interesting, so he went over to chat with Ouyang Sui briefly for a while, and then asked him without hesitation if he would like to be the chief engineer of their company.

At that time, Tianshu was only a well-known game development company in China, and there were only eight people in the company, including Zhang Yi, who could not offer too good salaries, and could only attract talents with high positions and a distant bright future.

To this day, the story of Zhang Yi's employment of Ouyang Sui is still a legend often mentioned by industry insiders.

Facts have proved that Zhang Yi is still very poisonous in looking at people. Ouyang Sui started from the actual situation of Tianshu from the beginning, and developed some low-cost, but very interesting small games, which allowed Tianshu to quickly seize a large market share.

Since then, there have been many unique online games that have been obsessed with by countless people until now and have brought a steady stream of profits to the company, as well as competitive games that have become famous in the international competitive field.

Ouyang Sui's genius design coupled with Zhang Yi's excellent management and marketing, Tianshu quickly rose from a small company to a large company, a listed company, and a leading company in China, with a turnover of tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands at the beginning, to tens of billions now.

It can be said that the legend of Tianshu was jointly created by Ouyang Sui and Zhang Yi.

Of course, the myth was shattered when Ouyang Sui put forward the ambitious "Tianheng Plan".

When Ouyang first mentioned to Zhang Yi that he wanted to make an adventure game that was different from all the games on the market today, but with those gameplay features, Zhang Yi thought it was crazy, but then he found such a game very appealing, and after a little thought, he agreed without a vote from the board.

Zhang Yi is a marketing genius and understands the important role of publicity in successfully occupying the market for a game.

As a result, the project began to throw several concepts to the market before it was officially launched.

A few simple and unique concepts were infinitely amplified by the media and immediately caused a sensation in the market. Those enthusiastic responses gave Zhang Yi infinite confidence, and the "Tianheng Plan" made a grand debut.

A few years later, the long-awaited market has not seen the "unique" and "absolutely mysterious" online game, and they have begun to question it, and they have also made up a lot of jokes to ridicule it.

With the continuous increase of investment, the time for the game to go public has been repeatedly postponed, and after several rounds of financing, not only the public and the media have condemned them for hype, but even shareholders and board meetings have begun to oppose it.

But Zhang Yi took all those problems one by one, and tried his best to appease them - he tried his best to create a good atmosphere and environment for Ouyang Sui.

Until he invested nearly 10 billion yuan and still didn't see the results, Zhang Yi was shaken, and he and Ouyang Sui communicated repeatedly many times. He hopes that Ouyang Sui will give more consideration to the actual situation and the needs of the market, instead of blindly insisting on "creating" a "great game"; And Ouyang then told him that only when the game is "deeply rooted in the hearts of the people" can it win the market, and "only if you can endure loneliness will there be a future", and several arguments ended unhappily.

At the board meeting half a year ago, under the unanimous accusations and threats of almost all shareholders, in order to protect himself and the company, Zhang Yi finally made up his mind to fire Ouyang Sui Squid.

This is the end of a legend, and the two have gone from being friends and close comrades-in-arms to enemies who attack each other.

For such a result, Zhang Yi's heart was also full of emotion.

But then he felt very strange-

Ouyang Sui hated him for granted: once, it was Zhang Yi who announced that he would always support him to the end, but in the end, it was Zhang Yi who stabbed him in the back.

Therefore, whether Ouyang Sui wants to talk to the media next, or post a condemnation on the Internet, or jump ship to a competitor's company - do anything that can hurt Tianshu and hurt Zhang Yi, Zhang Yi will feel normal.

But the problem lies precisely in Ouyang Sui, who did nothing.

None of the above situations in the imagination happened, and then, Ouyang Sui disappeared from everyone's field of vision, silently, like a small stone thrown into the lake.

This is precisely what Zhang Yi is most worried about.

With his understanding of Ouyang Sui in the past twenty years, things will not end like this. Ouyang Sui's extraordinary talent and almost stubborn personality gave him a deep impression, not to mention that Ouyang Sui almost poured all his enthusiasm and energy into the "Tianheng Plan".

Intuition told Zhang Yi that things had just begun.

He also felt a trace of guilt in his heart, after all, Ouyang Sui, as a veteran of Tianshu Group who started a business and worked hard together, was so embarrassed when he left Tianshu; When he left, he didn't accept Tianshu's compensation or hush money.

But he also had a kind of uneasiness-Ouyang Sui left in too haste, obviously with a lot of resentment. Neither signed any confidentiality agreement with Tianshu, nor did it sign an agreement on restricting competition in the same industry. As Tianshu's former number one engineer, Ouyang Sui still has a lot of important company secrets.

It's just that whether these two emotions are more guilty or more uneasy, Zhang Yi can't say at once.

"It's going to rain, and my mother is going to get married. Let him go. Zhang Yi sighed softly.

At this moment, there was a cheer outside, and it turned out that the building's network had been successfully repaired. But the joy lasted less than a minute.

With a "snap", the power went out.

Not only was the Tianshu Building blackout, but the entire S City was without power, and the entire city was plunged into darkness.

An hour later, the building was bright again.

Liu Wei, vice president of the group, and Aintan, the new chief engineer, came in to report on the situation.

"After an hour of hard work by all the company's technical personnel, the group's network and equipment have returned to normal; No evidence of intrusion has been found in any databases or computer equipment. It's just that while we were using the network to track down hackers, there was a power outage. I suspect that these are not an accident, but have been carefully planned. Liu Wei analyzed.

"Where's your situation?" Zhang Yi stared at Eintan.

After Ouyang left, the "Tianheng Project" lost its soul, and the entire project was put on hold. But given the huge cost and resource commitment, the board decided to put it on the market next year anyway. Next year, the year 2100, will be the beginning of a new century.

Under heavy pressure, the new technical development team patted its ass and left in less than two months. As the core figure of the third development team of the "Tianheng Project", he is Zhang Yi's last hope.

"On my side, there are some abnormalities in the numbers and data." Aintan was a little nervous, he had not long returned to China, and his Mandarin was not even very standard.

"Sure enough!" Zhang Yi was taken aback.

Due to the need for commercial secrecy, the "Tianheng Plan" has never released much information to the public since it was launched. Because of this excessive mystery, major competitors at home and abroad are trying their best to find out some information, and then develop a similar game on their own and push it to the market before Tianshu.

This isn't the first time we've been hacked.

But it was the first time that the other party had won it.

"Mr. Zhang, there is a sentence I don't know whether to say or not." Liu Wei hesitated.

Zhang Yi didn't like his style of spitting and spitting, and frowned: "If there's anything you can't say, say it." ”

"I suspect that this hacking incident has a lot to do with Ouyang Sui......" Liu Wei finally said the question in his heart.

"No, it won't." Zhang Yi waved his hand to interrupt him, "I know that person Ouyang, he is very good as a game planner and engineer. But to be a hacker, at least technically, he owes more than a little. ”

"Yes." Liu Wei had no choice but to nod in agreement.

Zhang Yi thought about it and immediately made two decisions: one was to let Liu Wei call the police immediately, and the other was to order Aintan to speed up the development progress of the "Tianheng" project and go public one month before the scheduled time.

"The market doesn't need perfect games. In the current situation, you have to get the game out there first, and then make some improvements when the version is upgraded - what the market really needs is a game that can be improved, upgraded, and grow with them. This is Zhang Yi's idea.

Dragging his tired body, it was already twelve o'clock when the driver sent Zhang Yi back to the villa called "Chivalry Villa".

His wife hadn't slept yet, and had been sitting on the sofa waiting for him. As soon as he entered, his wife greeted him at the door, and while taking a pair of slippers from the shoe rack, she could not wait to tell him that the police had come to the house in the afternoon and wanted to ask him for some information.

"What do the police want to know?" Zhang Yi was surprised.

"You know what? Ouyang disappeared. He never returned home after he left the company. A few months ago, he still had phone contact with his family, but since the day before yesterday, he has not been able to contact him again, and his mobile phone has become empty......"

What the? Ouyang Sui disappeared? Zhang Yi was taken aback again.

What kind of fame is this guy doing?
