The Wolf of Los Angeles.
Chapter 377: Boomerang Effect
Two cold-chain freight trucks, led by a Rolls-Royce, stopped in front of Twitter.
Tom Cruise got out of the car and said to the security personnel who came to check: "I sent something over, everyone has a share."
The security guard quickly notified the supervisor.
Tom Cruise asked someone to open the side door of the cold chain truck and carry the cakes down.
When Hawke came down from upstairs, hundreds of cake boxes were piled up at the door.
Tom Cruise walked over quickly, hugged Hawke, and said, "I have prepared a small gift for every Twitter employee."
Hawke understood immediately: "Tommy's friendship cake, a classic."
"That's right." Tom Cruise smiled happily, "I had this custom made for me."
He took two boxes from the Rolls-Royce, accompanied Hawke back to the office, unpacked them and took one: "Try it. You don't like sweets, so I put less sugar in it."
Hawke was not polite, took a small bite and said, "It tastes very authentic."
Tom Cruise has been in such a good mood these days: "I have checked the fees, and they will all be paid today. Every participant will receive a bonus."
There is still some time before the awards ceremony, and Hawke advised: "Before the awards ceremony, please be low-key and humble when talking about the Oscars, and when talking about yourself, emphasize the difficulties you have experienced in honing your acting skills and performance over the years."
Tom Cruise understands: "I will."
Hawke said: "The rest is up to luck. May the goddess of luck favor you."
After Jamie Foxx was finished, the strongest among the remaining competitors was Leonardo DiCaprio.
Clint Eastwood was also nominated for Best Actor, but the old cowboy's public relations focused on Best Director. In the five most important individual awards, Best Supporting Actor, Best Actor, and Best Director, the Oscars have never laid a double yolk.
A cake inscribed with "Gift from Tom Cruise" was delivered to every Twitter employee.
At the same time, several cars with the words "housekeeping" and "cleaning" painted on them drove into Twitter's new office, the underground parking lot of the Coast Building, and came directly to the freight elevator.
Campos got out of the lead car and asked his men to take various electronic devices and go upstairs.
Twitter outsourced the security of the Coast Building to Butterfly Security Company.
We have officially settled in here.
Arriving at the reception room prepared in advance on the first floor, Campos called Edward.
…………
When Hawke sent Tom Cruise back, he brought a copy of Entertainment Weekly with Nicole Kidman on the cover.
The character title is - Tom Cruise is the love of my life.
Nicole Kidman wished her ex-husband to win an Oscar, which was like helping Tom Cruise open a bottle of champagne at halftime.
I wonder if Tom Cruise can withstand such a blessing.
Edward came over and said, "Campos has brought people to the Coast Building."
Hawke picked up the phone: "Go to Coast Building."
After nearly half a year of adjustment, the interior of the Coast Building has been completed, with everything from office supplies to intranet lines to server groups, all in place.
Edward's Mercedes drove directly from the driveway to the main entrance of the building.
Hawke got out of the car and walked into the spacious lobby, waving to Campos who was sitting in the reception area.
Campos came over quickly and said, "All the people and equipment have been brought here."
Twitter will move in soon, but before the official move, Hawke still has a job to do: "Have people carefully check every office and every piece of equipment in the new building. Many material suppliers, decoration workers, and server technicians have been here before. It's hard to say that there aren't some people with ulterior motives among them."
Campos said: "All the equipment has been brought here, and we can start now."
Hawke waved his hand: "Dress up as a sanitation worker."
"Understood." The people brought by Campos had received the notice long ago. They changed into cleaners' uniforms, divided into four groups, and took action immediately.
Hawke went up to the chairman's office on the top floor.
This office comes with an assistant work area, which is large enough to accommodate a team of twenty assistants.
There are also dedicated reception areas, lounges and small meeting rooms.
Standing by the floor-to-ceiling windows in the office, you can overlook the endless Pacific Ocean.
Hawke selected six old Twitter employees as assistants to assist him in daily work.
All six of them have families and children and possess strong execution capabilities.
Afterwards, Hawke went to the server room in the middle of the building and saw that Harland was debugging the server with a group of technicians.
Starting this week, Twitter will fully integrate the new server group.
Harland found Hawke and said, "When can we have a supercomputer? With a supercomputer, many design and development problems will be much simpler."
Hawke went to Washington to attend the inauguration ceremony a few days ago and consulted on this aspect. He said: "IMB is developing a new generation of supercomputers. We also need to raise funds. Don't worry, we will have supercomputers soon."
This is not just empty talk. Twitter's first federal cash subsidy has arrived, amounting to $1.2 million.
The remaining amount will be received in due course.
As George Walker began his second term, the new economic development plan has been fully launched, and Twitter's network media terminal and AI development have all been included in the development plan. In the past two months, while inciting homosexuality and feminism to fight each other, Hawke has also been formulating a new development plan.
The new program has close ties to the federal government.
Simply put, it means using federal money to develop Twitter.
Hawke plans to hold a shareholders' meeting at the Coast Building after Twitter moves to discuss the issue.
Edward received a call at this time: "There is a situation in Campos, I want you to go over and take a look."
Hawkben was on the top floor of the building. He turned out of the corridor and saw Campos and several others outside a small conference room nearby.
Campos stopped Hawke from a distance and whispered, "A bug was found in this conference room."
Hawke was not surprised at all: "In the past, we used these to deal with others, but now someone is using them to deal with us."
Edward interjected, "Is this a boomerang effect?"
Hawke glanced at the three technicians, all dressed in cleaning staff uniforms, and asked, "You didn't move after you found it, did you?"
Luis, who also came from Mexico and used to do communications support, answered, "No, we found these and are still cleaning them up. It took a while before we withdrew, and all the discussions during that time were about topics related to cleaning up."
Campos asked, "Does it need to be cleaned up?"
Hawke thought about it for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No, keep it for now, you guys continue."
Louis took other technicians and continued to "clean up".
Hawke instructed Campos: "Check carefully and thoroughly. If you find anything else, write down the specific location and room number, and then report it to the Savior."
Campos nodded: "I have already told the people involved in this work to keep their mouths shut."
Not long after, Campos received another call that a bug was found in a large conference room on the 15th floor.
Hawke told Campos to handle it.
The inspection here was done very carefully, especially in key areas, such as the offices of managers such as Hawke, where a double inspection method was adopted.
After half a day, eavesdropping devices were found in three conference rooms.
In the large conference room on the top floor, three types of eavesdropping devices with different installation methods were found.
After Campos personally checked it out, he reported to Hawke: "It feels like three different groups of people installed it."
Edward said something very truthful: "It feels like there are a lot of people who want to deal with us."
Hawke agreed: "We are the leader in the industry, and even if we do nothing, we will have a lot of enemies."
He didn't say the second half of his sentence. Twitter has offended a lot of people.
This is inevitable. If you want to be the leader in business competition, you don’t know how many competitors you will have to eliminate.
Campos said: "These eavesdropping devices have a maximum reception distance of 1000 meters, so the receiver should not be very far away."
Hawke came to a window and looked around.
In the entire Silicon Beach, the Coast Tower is the tallest building. From here, you can see most of Santa Monica.
Hawke said to Edward, "Write this down."
Edward quickly took out his pen and notebook.
Hawke said: "Purchase a batch of signal jammers, which can at least block eavesdropping and interference recording. All key departments and conference rooms must install them."
He turned to look at Campos: "Is there a detection device that can track back based on the signals sent by the eavesdropping device or laser and infrared? Since the effective range of the eavesdropping device is not far, find a way to find them."
"Some of the bugs are in standby mode and may not be activated until Twitter moves," Campos said.
Hawke thought for a moment and said, "There may be someone inside who will cooperate."
Campos responded: "The probability is very high."
"Don't alarm them yet." Hawke thought for a moment and said, "While eliminating external threats, we must also dig out the moles inside."
Twitter has been recruiting on a large scale, and even with strict review, it is difficult to avoid some rats sneaking in.
Hawke said, "You guys keep looking, I'll figure out the rest."
The benefits of having a powerful ally became apparent at this time, and Hawke called Jennifer Hughey directly.
After the election, Jennifer Hughey took over as the head of the Los Angeles FBI branch as her predecessor officially retired.
Anti-wiretapping and anti-espionage are the responsibility of the FBI.
Not long after, Jennifer Huey and two trusted subordinates quietly entered the Coast Building.
Hawke told her in detail, stated his demands, and asked directly, "Can you handle this?"
"You must be joking." Jennifer gave him a look of disdain: "The FBI is professional in this area."
Hawke said: "I will report the case quietly, don't make it public yet."
Jennifer was unequivocal: "I will set up a special team." (End of this chapter)
