In Rhodes City, the capital of the archipelago, George and the cadres and staff of the Star Group headquarters began to build momentum for the company's event, which will start in one hour.

In the press room of the Rhodes City Hall in the capital of the archipelago, George and 20 cadres and staff set up the venue, and now the work is coming to an end. The venue has been basically set up, just waiting for the media reporters to enter.

Everyone in the Star Group is smiling and full of energy. The 20 people except George never imagined that fate would play such a big joke on them. They had already been reduced to the 'dragon set group performers' in Rhodes City, living like salted fish, but they were suddenly recruited by George to be 'official actors', and their social status and income level immediately increased a lot.

And that's not all. When they returned home from the first day of work, fate gave them another huge surprise. They signed a formal contract and just joined the company, and they even issued a bold statement of '10 million meters of prize to challenge the world'.

It was with great mixed feelings that they began to closely follow the developments. When the Starry Sky website was temporarily closed four hours later, everyone knew in their hearts that this time they might have actually boarded a luxury ship that could change their fate. At that time, each of them secretly thanked George in their hearts for choosing himself.

Subsequently, each of them had an email from the office of the board of directors of Star Group in their mailboxes. There is no sending location on the e-mail.

Employees who already believe their company is a super-tech company are not surprised. They think it's a natural thing to do. If you can't even do this, what kind of super technology company can you call it?

The email told them something they could know and what they should do tomorrow.

As soon as it was dawn, everyone hurried to eat breakfast and rushed to the company, and then led by George to the city hall press room to begin setting up the venue.

Naturally, the press room was rented by George overnight. The archipelago government was very poor, and George paid a slightly larger amount, so the government hurriedly rented the press room to him.

In addition, it is rare that the employees of the company did not voluntarily ask for overtime pay because they went to work two hours earlier. All were strikingly unanimous: they were the first employees of the company. Even if it is an actor employee, it is still the first batch. As long as the company really rises, they are the veterans. It's not easy to come across such a good opportunity. Paying a little more now is nothing.

At eight o'clock in the morning, the staff of the Notary Office and the Swiss Bank arrived on time as agreed. Naturally, this is also the role played by George's silver bullet offensive.

After the official personnel entered, journalists from media outlets around the world began to enter.

The journalists who were able to arrive in Rhodes City so soon after the incident were reporters from world-renowned media outlets. The media they belonged to took them directly to an island airport not too far from Rhodes City on a company plane, and then had them take a boat to Rhode Island. Because Rhode Island is too small to build an airport.

Some of the hard-working reporters managed to get to the scene at this time. I don't know how much they have suffered in the middle?

But for such a sensational news that has attracted the attention of the whole world, as long as they can get to the scene in time to broadcast it live, it will be a huge victory in their careers!

At 8:20 a.m., when the press conference officially began, there were more than 40 reporters in the venue, belonging to about 20 media outlets.

Although the group of journalists is a little shabby, it is an unprecedented event for the archipelago. This made the government officials in Rhodes City so happy that they couldn't close their mouths.

The reporters on the scene were also very excited because they were going to make a name for themselves in one fell swoop. Countless media outlets around the world are waiting to broadcast the live broadcasts sent back by these live reporters, as well as the personal comments of the live reporters, and many netizens are waiting to watch their live broadcasts online.

At 8:20 a.m., George got up from his seat and walked onto the podium, and the people in the hall stopped talking. All the reporters turned their guns on George.

"Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to the first press conference held by Star Group Limited, British Virgin Islands. I am William George, one of the shareholders of the group of companies, one of the members of the board of directors, the legal representative of the company, the administrative director of the company headquarters, and the head of the legal department of the company headquarters. ”

"With the authorization of the board of directors of the company, on behalf of Star Company, I issued the following matters at this press conference: In view of the fact that the next business direction of Star Group Co., Ltd. is the electronic database business, in order to let the global public feel the reliable strength of our company in the field of electronic database in the shortest possible time, our company has decided to invite all organizations or individuals with cyber attack capabilities in the world to carry out a free attack on our company's official website at 9 a.m. on September 23, Western Hemisphere time. ”

"Our company allows external organizations or individuals to freely attack the company's official website for 24 hours. Our company promises that during this period, we will only defend and will not retaliate against the attacker, and will not be held accountable for any attack that occurred within these 24 hours. ”

"In order to maximize the enthusiasm of external forces to attack the company's official website, so as to maximize the strong strength of our company in the field of databases, our company also promises: within 24 hours allowed by the company, the first organization or individual to obtain the super administrator authority of our company's official website and completely attack our company's official website will receive 10 million meters of yuan donated by the company!"

"In order to prove the truth and validity of what I said, our company specially invited the staff of the archipelago government notary office and the Swiss bank to come to the scene to notarize for everyone. ”

After calmly explaining the subject, George came to the guest seat.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is Mr. Stanley, the Notary of the Archipelago Principal, and this is Ms. Crowe, a staff member of the UBS Archipelago Agency. The archipelago government and UBS will join forces to assure the community of the reliability of our commitments at this event. Ms. Crowe, Mr. Stanley, please. George said to a man and a woman.

Ms. Crowe stood up first, faced the reporter's camera and said: "I am Crowe, a staff member of the UBS agency in the archipelago. My internal job number at UBS is xxxx. You can confirm my identity on the UBS website. I am authorized by the head office of the Swiss Bank to certify on behalf of the Swiss Bank that the funds deposited in the Swiss Bank by Star Group Co., Ltd., a company incorporated in the Islands, have been locked in 10 million metres. The funds were locked at the request of the archipelago government and with the consent of Star Sky. Both the archipelago government and Star said the funds would be distributed to any organization or individual who was the first to obtain Star Super Administrator privileges between 9 a.m. on September 23, 2028 and 9 a.m. Western Hemisphere Time on September 24, 2028. It is hereby certified. ”

After saying the extremely tightly worded official words, Ms. Crowe nodded at the camera and sat down naturally.

"I am Stanley, the Commissioner of the Notary Public of the BVI. On behalf of the archipelago government, I hereby make a notarization to all sectors of society as follows: The archipelago government, together with the headquarters of the Swiss Bank, has successfully locked in the 10 million yuan bonus promised by Star Company in this event. Anyone who meets the conditions for receiving the prize will successfully get the 10 million meters. After the end of the event, if no organization or individual meets the conditions for receiving the prize, the Swiss bank's lock on the funds will be released immediately. Stanley also stood up and did a notary.

The reporters on the scene conveyed the speeches of George, Crow and Stanley to the rest of the world.

At this point, many people who are still skeptical have finally determined that the Star Company is real. At this time, few people dared to say that the Star Company was a madman. Without real skills, without testing in private, the Star Company will take out 10 million meters to throw it into the water?

Some people who react keenly can even feel that perhaps the era of the United States Worm Bone Company's dominance in the database field is coming to an end!

Affected by this factor, the stock price of the Worm Bone Company, which had just opened in the Huaer Street stock market, began to fall slowly.

Worm Bone Corporate Headquarters.

"Capote, how did I get you done?" Hult asked Capote on the phone.

"Holt, I've done everything you asked me to do. The company has transferred the computing power of 12 supercomputers. The allies brought in 22 supercomputing machines. Now I have a total of 34 supercomputers here in the final planning, and it will be coordinated in two minutes at most. Hort, how much have you gotten from the national defense reserve computing power? Quickly guide them over and form the maximum synergy with the 34 supercomputers. Capote said.

"Capote, I have to say, you're doing really well. But my situation here is mediocre. The shit-bitched stuff in Congress didn't believe what I was saying. And our president, too, has a poop stuff in his head, and he can't be persuaded to solve it. They all felt that the Star Group was far less terrifying than I said. I struggled to get 22 supercomputing machines to prepare for computing power. Hult said angrily.

Hult didn't know that because there was no direct interest in the other people's tentative attacks, they didn't have a strong sense of urgency, so they just played casually when attacking, and didn't use much effort, so that the difficulty of the Star Website giving back to them was correspondingly reduced. When the other people shut down the Star website, the progress of cracking the port was basically more than 90%. So they think Hult is lying.

"Well, Hult, your plan is to get 20 pre-supercomputing power. How can you get 22 units and still be so angry?" Capote was a little puzzled.

"Oh, Capote, I said 20 would do, but I wanted 40. Hult said.

Capote was dumbfounded.

"Capote, I'm going to guide 22 supercomputing power over now. You're ready to do the trick. Wait for this battle, try to solve it as quickly as possible, and come as fast as you can. Now our stock has started to fall. For every 1/10,000 drop in the stock price, we will lose 160 million meters, do you know? After the war begins, the longer the Star Group persists, the faster our stock will fall, and the greater our loss will be. I hope that there will not be people jumping off the building on Flower Street today because the price of the Worm Bone Inscription stock has fallen too much. Hult said.

"Okay Hot, I'll do my best. Capote said solemnly.

......

The scene of the press conference of the Rhode City Star Group in the archipelago.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the content that Star Group is going to release today has been released. It's 8:35 a.m. Since our website will be launched at 9 o'clock to be tested by attacks from all over the world, we can only allocate 20 minutes for you to ask questions. A reporter can only ask one question, and whoever is drawn to ask the question is random. On-site questions will end at 8:55 a.m. sharp. Okay, who's going to be the first one?" George pushed the press conference into a Q&A session.

The reporters immediately all raised their arms. George casually pointed to the reporter in front of him on the right.

"May I ask Director George, can you introduce the details of the shareholders and the composition of the share capital of the Star Group?" asked the reporter who was the first to be called.

"Sir, if you know a little bit about the corporate laws of countries around the world, you shouldn't ask this question on archipelago soil. Alright, next. George replied crisply.

"May I ask Director George, the registered capital of Star Group is 100 billion yuan, how much is the paid-in capital?" the second reporter asked.

The answer to this question is the same as above. Ma'am, I don't think you took the time to learn about the islands' economic policy before you came to the islands. It is recommended that you go down and do some to find out. Next. ”

The reporters laughed. They knew that these questions were unlikely to be answered, but they asked anyway. What if George said he slipped out.

But George is a lawyer, and he only pays lip service, how could something go wrong?

"Director George, do you think your company will have the last laugh in the upcoming challenge?" asked a third reporter.

"Our company has the confidence to win. George said without hesitation.

If you don't have faith, you have to say faith. George also figured out after those hours last night that as long as the company can survive 1 hour, it will be a huge success, and it will definitely rise in the database field. After 3 hours, the insect bone company will cry. The longer the company persists, the greater the future will be. If no one can take the 10 million yuan prize money in the end, then the prospect of the Star Group will be indescribable.

After a comprehensive evaluation, George believes that the company's certainty of persisting for 1 hour is still quite large. His heart was now much more settled.

"Director George, if your company has achieved good results in this challenge, there will definitely be no shortage of companies in the world who want to cooperate with you. So where will you focus on development?" asked the fourth reporter.

This question is starting to make a bit of sense.

"Sir, your question relates to the company's development strategy. I am only a minority shareholder of the company and can only follow the instructions of the board of directors when it comes to development strategies. At the moment, I have not received any instructions on this. So, I'm sorry, I can't answer your question. If you are really interested in this issue, you can always pay attention to the company's official website news. George said.

George naturally knew that the company's development focus was in China, but how could he say it?

"Excuse me, Director George......"

"Excuse me, Director George......"

There weren't many reporters, and George's answers to questions were short and forceful, so the answers to reporters' questions were carried out quickly. At 8:55 a.m., George had just finished answering the last reporter's question.

"I would like to announce that this concludes the first press conference of Star Group Co., Ltd. Dear journalists, there are still 5 minutes left, and our company's official website will be launched. In 5 minutes, a world-renowned online offensive and defensive event will be officially unveiled. Star Group Co., Ltd. issued a unified invitation to netizens around the world: 10 million meters, waiting for you to fight!" George said sonorously.

At 9 a.m. Western Hemisphere Time on September 23, 2028, the official website of Star Group will open again after being closed for 8 hours.

Countless terminals around the world have sent scanning commands to the entrance port of the Starry Sky official website at the same time. Star Group's challenge to the world's cyber attack and defense competition immediately kicked off and entered the main topic.

Many ordinary netizens entered the URL for the first time and clicked on the official website of Starry Sky, and saw that there were several big words on the homepage of the official website. The big words are: Come on, warriors!
