The world is in trouble

Chapter 28 Too Awesome and Too Brutal

Chapter 28 Too Awesome! Too Brutal
Next, the man wearing glasses, Engineer Cheng, will use the mouse to click on the Panda Burning Incense app to run it.

But... no need.

It moved on its own.

Fierce and sharp.

This computer was equipped with a firewall and eight mainstream antivirus software, but it still had no resistance and began to fall directly.

It's totally unstoppable and totally uncontrollable.

These antivirus software crashed one after another, and their processes were terminated one after another.

The man with glasses tried hard to save the situation, but it was of no use.

I saw that all the executable files in the computer and all the icons on the desktop became the same.

Panda burning incense!

He was unwilling to give up, so he tried his best and made a final effort.

But it's no use.

The tools you have are all from 2001. This virus was originally created in 2006. The tools and antivirus software at that time were useless, let alone now?
Do you still want to use the sword of the Ming Dynasty to kill the officials of the Qing Dynasty?

Just like that, not long after, the engineer's computer was completely destroyed.

Most of the EXE files inside have turned into Panda Burning Incense.

The most direct way is to use a CD-ROM drive to format the entire hard drive and then completely reinstall the system.

Our descendants will be endless.

Of course there are other ways to save it, but at least he can't figure it out in the short term.

Seeing this scene, the man with glasses was a little stunned.

Such a vicious virus?!

From such a young kid?
Is the technology so awesome?
Lin Xiao said: "It will automatically spread within the local area network at a very, very fast speed."

In 2006, it infected millions of computers.

Many local area networks collapsed in large areas.

The man with glasses was delighted at the sight of prey and said excitedly, "I know a place, let's try it."

Because the company was not far away, the man with glasses took Lin Xiao to an independent computer room, which had more than a dozen computers forming a separate local area network.

The man with glasses plugged the USB drive into one of the computers.

Then, the familiar and magnificent scene was played out again.

Several mainstream antivirus software programs crashed and the virus quickly spread to all computers in the local area network.

Before long, all the dozen or so computers in the test room were infected.

The destructive power and the spreading ability are both extremely amazing.

The man with glasses looked at Lin Xiao in complete disbelief. Could such a young genius be born in our country?

You should know that very few high school students in China have contact with computers, and even fewer have contact with programming. Most of them are veterans at the undergraduate, master, or even doctoral level.

You have to know that in this era, computer programming is truly high-tech.

The legendary young genius hacker only exists in American stories.

Unexpectedly, one appeared before my eyes.

This is really depressing.

………………

The two came to the cafe again.

Li Xiaoqin asked: "How is it?"

The bespectacled man Cheng Gong said, "Our team has evaluated it. It's S-level, absolutely S-level."

"Currently, all mainstream antivirus software has no way to deal with it."

"S-level lethality, S-level infectiousness."

Li Xiaoqin asked: "What is the concept of this?"

The man with glasses asked, "Do you know about the job application letter virus?"

Li Xiaoqin said: "Of course I know, it's very famous."

The man with glasses asked, "Do you know the red code?"

Li Xiaoqin said: "In the past two or three years, the industry has been terrified by the extremely vicious virus."

The man with glasses said, "According to our assessment, this virus may be more lethal than the Code Red and Job Application Letter viruses."

Now, Li Xiaoqin understood everything.

The job application letter virus and the Red Code virus were both born abroad and are well-known around the world.

So many people joke that China's computer technology is far inferior to that of foreign countries, and even the computer viruses are far behind.

And the man with glasses actually said that the computer virus brought by the child in front of him was even more vicious than those two viruses?

Director Li Xiaoqin then looked at Lin Xiao seriously. Such a young computer genius?

"How old are you?"

Lin Xiao asked: "Senior year?"

Li Xiaoqin said: "He is still in his third year of high school, but he has written such a terrifying virus. He is truly a young talent."

Lin Xiao said: "Let me emphasize that I picked it up."

"Yes, yes." Li Xiaoqin said, "You are in your third year of high school, and you actually picked up such a horrible virus?" Lin Xiao smiled without saying anything.

Li Xiaoqin said: "Tell me your price."

Lin Xiao thought for a while and said, "Two hundred thousand!"

Li Xiaoqin said: "Impossible, absolutely impossible. Do you know how much revenue we earn every year?"

Although they are anti-virus software giants, their annual revenue is indeed not high.

"Fifty thousand!" Li Xiaoqin then quoted his own price, saying, "This is already a very, very high price, even the highest price I have ever offered. You know, this is actually a form of amnesty, and it won't bring us much benefit. No matter how much we spend, we will lose money."

Lin Xiao asked: "What about Jiang Min? What about Ruixing?"

Li Xiaoqin said: "Do you believe it? Their prices will only be lower than mine, not higher."

"Fifty thousand is already very, very high, equivalent to more than a year's salary for a white-collar worker in Beijing."

Then, Li Xiaoqin picked up the coffee, looking completely non-negotiable and even willing to let Lin Xiao leave.

Whether you want to talk to Jiang Min or Rising, it’s up to you.

At this time, Xia Xi next to him looked over to see how Lin Xiao would respond.

After all, being able to write code is one thing, but business negotiations are another.

No matter how good you are at writing code, you will be a programmer all your life.

Other abilities are the most important.

Seeing the other party's calm and resolute attitude, if it were someone else, they might have been scared.

And to some extent, what Li Xiaoqin said is true. Although several antivirus software companies are competitors, they also have a certain tacit understanding.

Lin Xiao was playing with the USB flash drive in his hand, and his voice sounded very calm.

"Director Li, the value of this virus in my hands is only two hundred thousand. But in your hands, it is worth millions, or even tens of millions."

Director Li said, "Mr. Lin, what you are talking about is that once this virus spreads, the damage it causes may be tens of millions, or even more. But the value cannot be estimated by the destructive power. To be honest, these losses are borne by countless computer users, not by our antivirus software."

Lin Xiao said: "Your antivirus software can't deal with this virus. Doesn't that make you look incompetent?"

Li Xiaoqin said: "If we are all incompetent, then we are not incompetent."

Lin Xiao said: "What if, suppose, a company spent 200,000 yuan to buy my virus code, and then upgraded its anti-virus software. Then they accidentally released the virus, and all anti-virus software was powerless, but this company was the only one that could solve it. Then, how much do you think its reputation and market could be improved? How much value is there in this?"

Lin Xiao hit the target with one strike.

In fact, there is a particularly funny phenomenon, that is, when anti-virus software is charged, computer viruses and Trojans are everywhere.

Every once in a while, your computer takes a beating.

After the free 360 unified the world, computer viruses seemed to have completely disappeared from the sight of ordinary computer users.

Those who understand will understand the reasons behind this.

Lin Xiao said: "Besides, I really don't like bargaining."

"You know very well that I am a very moral person. Otherwise, I would not come to talk to you at all. I would sell this virus to ten or a hundred people and let them perform some very destructive acts, so that I can make more money."

This is what the real owner of this virus did in his previous life.

"The reason I sold it to you is because I hope it won't harm the world."

"This is my first pot of gold, and I need to use it to do bigger things. So I don't ask for much, and I definitely won't lower the price."

"You act as if you're letting me talk to Jiang Min and Ruixing. It's like a game between a store owner and a customer in a hypermarket."

"I... don't like this kind of game."

"It was not a business negotiation, but a very calm conversation without any pulling or tugging."

"If you refuse, I will really go and talk to Jiang Min."

"Jiang Min refused, so I went to find the next one until someone offered 200,000 yuan. If no one offered that price, I would not sell it."

"Because for me, the effect of keeping one's word may be more important than two hundred thousand."

"I'm not a businessman, and I don't want to be one. To me, reputation is more important than price, at least more important than two hundred thousand."

"If a person is easily bargained for, he will have endless bargaining to do in the future."

"I am myself, and you are just Director Li. It's not your money you are spending."

After saying this, Lin Xiao stopped talking.

His tone was calm and gentle, yet full of convincing power.

And he didn't even make any move to stand up and walk out.

Sincerity and authenticity are the holy grail.

Director Li Xiaoqin said: "Please wait a moment, I will go and report."

Then she picked up her phone and walked outside the coffee shop to report to her boss.

Lin Xiao was drinking coffee inside, quietly waiting for a reply.

At this moment, Xia Xi suddenly asked, "Have we met before?"

Lin Xiao said: "Yes, I went to your house this morning."

Xia Xi said: "So it's you."
