You call this entrepreneurship?

Chapter 444

Now that we have caught the person, the first thing we need to do is to collect enough evidence.

The reason for collecting sufficient evidence was not because Qin Shaoyan was going to sue, but because he did not expect any result from the lawsuit. Even if he won, he would not get any benefit from the hacker. It would be useless except for venting his anger.

The evidence is for domestic netizens to see, and there is no need to directly name anyone. Smart netizens will naturally analyze it.

Qin Shaoyan picked up the phone and called Xiong Xiaoge. He brewed up a wave of emotions and said in a suppressed and angry tone: "Boss Xiong! We have been tolerant again and again, but what we got in return was not peace, but intensified attacks!"

Xiong Xiaoge was very surprised, "What happened again?"

"Recently, the server of Warring States has been frequently attacked, causing it to be paralyzed many times. The loss is at least several million!" Qin Shaoyan said aggrievedly and angrily, "This is an organized attack!"

"Hacker attack?!" Xiong Xiaoge was shocked at first, then hesitated for a moment, "Do you... know who did it?"

"Who else could it be?" Qin Shaoyan snorted coldly, "You asked me to reconcile, but you turned around and attacked me again."

"Do you have any evidence?" Xiong Xiaoge frowned and asked, "Are you sure someone ordered it?"

This is really too much. They asked someone to mediate before, and then they did something behind the scenes. This is just not following the rules of the underworld.

Hacker attacks are a common method of competition in online games. Some hacker organizations specialize in this business and have clearly marked prices.

Some are conflicts between peers, some are purely to eliminate competitors in the same period, and some are simply extortion.

When Chen Tianqiao was the agent of Shanda, he was often woken up by phone calls in the middle of the night. When he answered the phone, the news he got was basically that the server had been attacked by hackers.

Hackers usually do this for money, and they have no moral principles.

Don't ever believe in the saying that there are code of conduct for thieves, or that they just extort money and walk away.

Once they find out that you have paid the money, they will come endlessly. Even if this group of people abide by the rules and stop, what about the next group?
But there are exceptions. Some people do not do it for money, but simply to prove how awesome they are.

There is no point in talking to these immature teenagers.

Xiong Xiaoge works in Internet venture capital, so he naturally has some understanding of the gray and black industries in the Internet industry.

"The hacker is not in China, but in the United States. I asked someone to contact the FBI and they have caught him." Qin Shaoyan said firmly, "Through the hacker's emails, we can trace the IP address of the employer, which is probably in the Shanghai Stock Exchange."

"But the other party used bank transfer, so we can check through bank transfer. The FBI is still collecting evidence."

"Hey, you even asked the FBI for help." Xiong Xiaoge was a little surprised, but he immediately said, "Don't worry, I will definitely give you an explanation for this matter."

"I don't care about what needs to be explained now. I just want to make this online game better. Endless hacker attacks and rampant plug-ins have seriously affected the revenue of online games." Qin Shaoyan emphasized, "This is related to the listing of the campus network."

"I know." Xiong Xiaoge's voice became increasingly gloomy. "I'll take care of it."

Qin Shaoyan smiled after hanging up the phone. It was obvious that Xiong Xiaoge was also anxious. He wanted to deal with this complicated dispute of interests personally.

Why would Shi Yuzhu do this even at the risk of offending others?

Because he is also planning to go public through his online gaming business.

If everything goes according to normal plan, "Zhengtu" will start public beta in April 2006, and then quickly launch marketing.

Thanks to the good performance of "Zhengtu", Giant Network was listed on the US stock market the following year, and its market value directly reached 42 billion US dollars.

This is a wealth myth created just by an online game.

From Chen Tianqiao of Shanda to Ding Sanshi of NetEase, and then to Giant, the online gaming business has become a new gold mine.

If the "Warring States OL" had not come out on campus network, many people would have made a lot of money.

According to the normal timeline, based on the issue price, 21 of Giant Interactive's executives and senior technical personnel became billionaires by holding Giant depositary receipts, and 186 became millionaires and tens of millions of dollars.

Lin Haixiao earned billions of wealth by going public, easily achieved financial freedom, and then lived in seclusion in Singapore.

These are just the apparent beneficiaries. It can be said that the campus network's "Warring States OL" has disrupted the plans of many people, which will naturally make Shi Yuzhu unable to restrain himself.

But the situation is different now. The other party's constant troublemaking has affected the interests of the campus network, so naturally those whose interests have been damaged will come forward to protect them.

……

Qin Shaoyan routinely called the operations department together and began to discuss the next stage of prop promotions and recharge stimulus plans.

As the number of players of "Warring States" increased, revenue grew rapidly, but Qin Shaoyan was still not satisfied.

He constantly came up with various plans to stimulate players to recharge by squeezing the life of the game, thereby continuously increasing the game's revenue data.

When Qin Shaoyan was explaining various forced krypton schemes to the operation staff, his secretary Xiao Chen quietly sneaked into the meeting room and reported in a low voice: "Boss Qin, there is an important guest outside."

"Important guest?" Qin Shaoyan was a little surprised. "Who is it?"

"He said his name is Zhang Wanli." Secretary Xiao Chen was a little confused. "I checked the appointment list, and his name is not on it. However, he is on the list of important guests you left for me, so I came to inform you."

Zhang Wanli?!

Qin Shaoyan was also stunned for a second before he reacted. Isn’t this Director Zhang?

"You guys continue the discussion." Qin Shaoyan said something to Zhou Yuan and then left the meeting room.

Qin Shaoyan and Zhang Wanli have not met each other since the last "International Global Marathon".

Because during the cooperation, Qin Shaoyan discovered that Director Zhang Wanli seemed to have a complicated background, so he cautiously kept his distance.

After all, he and the other party were just using each other, and there was no friendship between them.

Moreover, he had used this person's background to bully others several times, which made Qin Shaoyan feel guilty and he dared not have any contact with Zhang Wanli.

If there is any connection between the two, it is only that they send text messages to each other to wish each other a happy New Year and other festivals.

Director Zhang types every text message he sends by hand and never does lazy things like copying, pasting, or forwarding.

From this point of view, Qin Shaoyan has always felt that Director Zhang is a good person.

Logically speaking, Director Zhang doesn't have any need for Qin Shaoyan, so why did he suddenly come today?
Could it be that he knew what I was bragging about?
At most you could just give him a phone call and give him a scolding, so why come here in person?
Qin Shaoyan walked into the meeting room with some suspicion, and put on a smile the moment he pushed the door open.

"It is a great honor for our humble home to have Director Zhang here."

Zhang Wanli was still wearing his jacket. He stood up and looked at Qin Shaoyan, then suddenly asked, "Why don't you call me Brother Zhang anymore?"

"Huh?!" Qin Shaoyan was stunned for a moment. He didn't know what the other party meant, and he didn't dare to answer. He just laughed awkwardly, "Director Zhang, you are making fun of me again."

Zhang Wanli smiled and stretched out his hand to shake Qin Shaoyan's hand. "You were so enthusiastic every time you texted me calling me Brother Zhang, but why do you seem so distant when we meet?"

Qin Shaoyan glanced at the other two strangers present, feeling a little unsure, and said, "It's best to refer to your job title at work."

The two people sitting next to Zhang Wanli seemed a little surprised. They looked at each other and continued to look at Qin Shaoyan.

"Then I will call you Mr. Qin." Zhang Wanli smiled.

"Brother Zhang, you are boring now." Qin Shaoyan pretended to be very embarrassed, "You should just call me Xiao Qin."

"I'm here to talk to you about official business. It's best to address you by your title at work, Mr. Qin." Zhang Wanli began to introduce the other two people. "This is Director Xiao Yuhuai, and this is Section Chief Dong Jun." "This is Mr. Qin Shaoyan, the founder of the Olympic Public Welfare Promotion Network."

"He is an entrepreneur who is enthusiastic about charity. He was the one who took the lead in organizing the International Global Marathon and made a lot of efforts."

Director Xiao and Section Chief Dong immediately shook hands with Qin Shaoyan enthusiastically. The two sides exchanged a few words of greeting, and then the host and guest took their seats. Secretary Xiao Chen also quickly served tea and drinks.

Zhang Wanli took out a few pieces of paper from his briefcase. "Boss Qin, I'll make it short. I came to you this time to ask for your help."

"Brother Zhang, you are being so polite. Just tell me what you want to say." Qin Shaoyan promised, "I will do my best to get it done."

"It's like this, we need to build a few official websites." Zhang Wanli handed the paper in his hand to Qin Shaoyan, "I don't know much about this, and you're an expert among the people I know, so I came to you."

"I'm not a technical person, so I can't be called an expert." Qin Shaoyan waved his hand and then looked at the documents in his hand.

He found that it was just an ordinary website requirement, nothing special, and he couldn't help feeling a little strange. Technically speaking, this thing was not complicated at all, and it could be done by just finding a few students.

But why did Zhang Wanli come to see him?

Qin Shaoyan was a little confused, so he asked, "Do these websites have any other requirements?"

"The specific requirements are written on it." Director Xiao answered directly, and then looked at Qin Shaoyan, "Boss Qin, there is no technical difficulty, right?"

"It's not technically difficult." Qin Shaoyan asked, "Apart from the few items listed in the document, are there no other requirements?"

Zhang Wanli said, "You should give a rough estimate first."

"No problem, I'll ask someone to come and estimate it right away." Qin Shaoyan said happily.

"In addition, there is one more thing to note." Zhang Wanli said solemnly, "This is an official website for the Olympic Games. It must be secure and stable enough, and there must be no quality problems."

"The leaders attach great importance to this matter and must make the website well done."

Having said that, Qin Shaoyan seemed to understand why he came to him for such a simple official website construction.

Zhang Wanli didn't dare to hand over the official website to others because he was afraid that someone would outsource it and cheat him.

Qin Shaoyan started his career by building websites and had worked with Zhang Wanli before, so he was considered an insider in the industry whom he could trust.

After understanding this meaning, Qin Shaoyan knew what to do.

Qin Shaoyan said seriously, "I will call the CTO of the campus network right now. He is very experienced in building large websites."

Soon, the current CTO of the campus network, Wang Jun, was called into the reception room to answer questions from Zhang Wanli and others on the spot.

Wang Jun was recommended by Zhang Tianshi. His technical level is naturally outstanding and he also considers issues very comprehensively.

Zhang Wanli was also very satisfied after listening to Wang Jun's technical answers. He looked at Director Xiao and Section Chief Dong for a few seconds and nodded.

"Boss Qin, are you willing to accept the task of building the official website?"

"No problem." Qin Shaoyan agreed readily, "We will definitely complete it within the specified time limit with guaranteed quality and quantity."

"Okay, that's it for today. Let's go back and discuss it before making a decision." Zhang Wanli said as he stood up and shook hands with Qin Shaoyan.

They say it is research and discussion, but I guess it means just reporting to the leader and then waiting for instructions.

However, this matter basically fell on Qin Shaoyan's head, and he was already able to get people to do the work.

Director Xiao and Section Chief Dong went out, but Zhang Wanli did not follow them out. Instead, he waved to Qin Shaoyan.

Qin Shaoyan knew that Zhang Wanli had something to say to him, so he asked Wang Jun to leave as well, leaving only two people in the reception room.

Zhang Wanli urged: "The budget is relatively sufficient this time, you must do your best."

"Don't worry, Brother Zhang." Qin Shaoyan immediately said seriously, "I know the importance of such an important task. I will definitely mobilize elite forces to make these websites first-class."

"Yeah." Zhang Wanli nodded with satisfaction and smiled with satisfaction, "I know you are reliable, so I recommended you to do it. I believe you can do it well."

"Didn't you set up that public welfare website? I'll sign you up this time."

Qin Shaoyan was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed.

Is my website finally going to be formalized?

"There will be a working group to connect with your technical staff in the future. They will be responsible for the relevant requirements and website content." Zhang Wanli said, "You just need to be responsible for technical issues."

"Your campus network is so well built, so it shouldn't be a problem to build a website."

Qin Shaoyan pondered for two seconds, "Building a website is not difficult at all. It can be done by college students. However, if you want to make it good enough, it is still difficult."

“These official websites don’t have many functions, but there are two issues that you should pay attention to.”

"Well, you go." Zhang Wanli habitually took out a pen and notebook, ready to write it down.

"The first is whether the website can handle the huge amount of traffic." Qin Shaoyan explained seriously, "The Olympics is a hot topic that everyone is paying attention to. The website traffic may be very large at that time. We need to ensure that the website can be opened smoothly without any freezes or crashes."

“But this technical problem can be solved.”

"Another point is network security." Qin Shaoyan said solemnly, "Because the official website is of great significance, it often becomes the main target of network hackers."

"Some of these hackers are guerrillas who want to show off their skills or extort money, while others are organizations with ulterior motives. Attacking official websites at sensitive times can also cause very bad effects."

Zhang Wanli was stunned when he heard this, "Cyber ​​hacker?"

"Hackers are rampant nowadays." Qin Shaoyan sighed, "Our company's server has been severely attacked by hackers recently and has been paralyzed several times."

"Our company still has shortcomings in terms of network security and lacks technical strength."

He had indeed not thought of this, and after hearing what Qin Shaoyan said, he immediately became alert.

"This issue really needs to be taken seriously." Zhang Wanli said solemnly, "Your reminder is very timely."

"I'll think of a way to deal with network security," Zhang Wanli said. "Just do your job well."

"Okay." Qin Shaoyan stopped there and didn't say anything more.

Zhang Wanli frowned and thought as he put his pen and notebook into his briefcase and walked out.

Qin Shaoyan was about to send him out when Zhang Wanli suddenly stopped and asked, "Did your company suffer a big loss?"

"Probably several million." Qin Shaoyan replied.

"Huh?" Zhang Wanli was a little surprised. "The loss is so huge? Did you call the police?"

"This..." Qin Shaoyan hesitated, "I don't know how to call the police."

Zhang Wanli thought for a moment and said, "Wait for my call later."

After saying this, Zhang Wanli hurried away carrying his briefcase.
