"You only have 1 minute."

Without confirming his identity, Weiss was dubious.But at this time, if the other party came to him, there should be no hackers who would be bored to do such pranks.

"My boss wants to talk to you," Wes said.

"In an hour, I will contact you and ask your boss to come over."

Seeing the news, Weiss' eyes flickered, and he still dialed the phone. Now he can only believe that the other party is a clown.

A car enters Wes' villa.

The car stopped, and a bald middle-aged man with black-rimmed glasses got off.Outsiders here will definitely recognize that he is Nadella, the current president of Microsoft.

Experienced the rule of Microsoft's generation of legendary Gates, and another generation of tyrant Ballmer's leadership.Microsoft a few years ago, although it remained profitable, the company was declining.

The world of technology is changing rapidly, and all technologies are developing rapidly.

A few years ago, Microsoft watched Apple suck in money like crazy, and they could only rely on Office and Windows to eat their money.The world has entered the mobile era, cloud technology is developing, but they are standing still.

At that time, Microsoft was full of fierce competition within the company, and the intrigue in the office made many people worry about this legendary company of this generation, and bad-mouthing voices also appeared one after another.

At this moment, the board of directors let Ballmer step down and announced that he would serve as the new CEO. He also became the third CEO of Microsoft.

He is not a well-known manager. He has experienced Microsoft's ups and downs. He is more like a loyal veteran.When he first took office, many people questioned his ability as a CEO.

As soon as he took office, he regarded 'cloud service' as the core of Microsoft.New technologies have brought new challenges to Microsoft, and also brought new vitality to Microsoft, which is eating its laurels.

Now Microsoft's market value has doubled, higher than before the economic bubble burst, and reached a historical peak.

Today, Microsoft is facing a new challenge.

After the clown virus came out, it hit Microsoft hard. The Windows system has fallen across the board. It was originally thought that repairing system vulnerabilities would solve the crisis, but it turned out that it was not a problem of system vulnerabilities at all.

The clown virus can hide from the firewall of Windows and invade the system without hindrance.This conclusion caused Microsoft to vibrate internally.

The Chinese character programming language has also entered their field of vision.

During this time, the company has specialized personnel to study the Chinese programming language.The time was too short, and the Army Ant Company did not give them time, and announced the termite system directly.

The corporate office is a piece of fat for Microsoft, and this piece of fat, due to previous mistakes in decision-making, was taken away by Apple and umbrella companies.

Since he took office, he has already snatched some back.Now that the Army Ant Company has stepped in, it has brought him a strong sense of crisis.

This meat-eating army ant will make people frightened wherever they go.

Now we can only use extraordinary means to buy time.To deal with this virus crisis, what they need most is time.

Seeing Nadella walking in, Weiss was a little cautious, and hurriedly greeted him to sit down: "He said he would contact me in an hour, and now there are still 10 minutes."

Nadella nodded, sat on the sofa, and waited quietly.

Chapter 175 Trading

Wes sat on a chair, staring at the news on the forum.Nadella stood behind him, still looking calm.

It was the appointed time, and when the message appeared, Weiss straightened up and quickly clicked on the message.

"Make a deal," Nadella said.

Weiss didn't dare to neglect, and immediately replied to the clown according to Nadella's words.

"What deal?"

"You are on Twitter, according to my meaning, send a sentence, I will give you 100 million dollars." Nadella stared at the computer screen, his voice was calm.

"What?"

"Thank you for the support of Army Ant Company."

As soon as his words came out, Wes, who was sitting on the chair, shook his fingers.The boss wants to tie the Clown Organization and the Army Ant Company together, and implement the connection between the Army Ant Company and the Clown Organization.

But after thinking about it, Weiss' hands are not slow, and according to Nadella's words, send it to the clown.

After the news was sent, the atmosphere was quiet, and both of them were waiting for the clown's reply. 2 minutes passed without any movement.

Weiss couldn't help but glanced at Nadella, seeing that Nadella didn't move, he didn't say much, and waited quietly.

3 minutes later, the message came again.

"1000."

Seeing this news, Wes couldn't help but take a breath. Did this clown lose money?In a word, dare to say such a price.

"Up to 300 million, otherwise the transaction will be cancelled."

When Wes sent these words, the screen was quiet again. Two minutes later, the message came again: "Deal."

"How can I confirm that your identity is real?" Nadella said.

"In 2 minutes, the next target: Tokyo. Prepare bitcoins, give the money first, and send it later."

After the clown finished speaking, the computer screen went silent again, only this time, the protagonist would not appear again.

Nadella walked back to the couch, brooding.

After a while, Nadella turned on his phone, and sure enough, he saw the clown posting a new tweet.

"London, New York, within two days, if the ransom is not paid, I will launch an indiscriminate attack on the two countries. Next stop: Tokyo, please prepare the ransom, [-] million US dollars."

Nadella put down his phone, and it has been confirmed that the other party is the clown, and the transaction is no problem now.

"Go buy bitcoin now and contact him for a transaction." Nadella looked at Weiss and said.

"Okay." Wes nodded immediately.

The news of the clown stirred up waves again.

As soon as the news came out, government agencies in Tokyo and the Tokyo stock market were immediately attacked by the clown virus.Before the clown virus spread, the personnel of major institutions immediately disconnected the network cables to minimize losses.

I can't access the Internet, but the main computer is not infected with viruses and files are not lost, so I can still work normally.

Five minutes after the news of the virus came out, various news reports were spread on the Internet, and many people were still attacking Marching Ant Company.

They are the most suspicious. The Chinese character programming language was created by Marching Army Ant Company. In addition, the previous virus program fell into the hands of Marching Army Ant Company. Huaxia has not been attacked. Anyone has reason to believe that this is made by Marching Army Ant Company. .

It's just that the Army Ant Company didn't take any other actions except for a mild official response.

People who want to attack the army ant company can't grasp the fulcrum.

Army Ant Company is not a listed company, so it is impossible to make a fuss about its stock price.Moreover, the Marching Army Ant Company is within Huaxia, and foreign capital has nothing to do.In China, there is no company that is willing to take the initiative to provoke this strong army ant.

There was a lot of criticism, but the Marching Ant Company did not suffer much.The virus hit Tokyo, and the termite system, which claims to be resistant to the clown virus, became popular again.

CIA, Office of Science and Technology.

This is one of the four departments of the CIA, and every technician is an expert or senior person in a certain technical field.

Morrison is a computer expert who was recruited here to collect intelligence for the CIA.After the clown virus broke out, his mission was to find the clown organization.

At this time, Morrison looked solemn, tapping his fingers on the keyboard.Beside him, there were many other technicians nervously tracking down the clown's address.

The clown organization tweets, the only target they can track down.

Not long after, Morrison stopped and looked at the map that popped up on the computer, his face darkened. More than 100 addresses are distributed in every corner of the world. Among these addresses, only one address is correct.

One by one, they confirmed that they didn't have such personnel at all.

"How is it?" asked a strong and majestic middle-aged man behind him.He is the director of the CIA, Pompeo.

"Only one of these addresses is correct." Morrison said: "It needs to be ruled out one by one."

"Notify the Operations Department, let them go to these places, and confirm the address information." Pompeo's face was a little gloomy. The addresses are scattered in all corners of the world, which is very difficult, but they must be confirmed one by one, even if the secret agents are exposed. Do.

Those who don't catch the clown organization will only lose more.

Inside a villa in Seattle.

Seeing that the Bitcoin transaction was successful, Weiss stopped and looked at Nadella.This is the largest bitcoin he has ever bought.

This cryptocurrency, theoretically worthless, is essentially a pile of data.But the recognition group is large, so that it has value, just like the consumption of diamond jewelry, which is essentially a stone, but the large group of recognition makes jewelry have value.

All kinds of hype, coupled with more and more people entering the bitcoin trading, has caused the price of bitcoin to rise steadily, reaching the current level of nearly [-] US dollars per coin.

Weiss is an expert in the Internet world. He knows that bitcoins are often used among hackers or in some underground transactions. If there is no special need, otherwise he will not buy bitcoins.

"Contact him," Nadella said.

Wes nodded and immediately sent a message to the other party.Not long after, the clown sent an account.

"Send it to him."

To the average person, $300 million is a lot, but to them, it's nothing.

If the army ant company continues to use the clown virus to promote the termite system and enter the corporate office field, their losses will be hundreds of times more than this little money.

As for the clown's repentance, he thought about it.He can only bet that the clown will carry out the agreement.Now that the clown virus is raging, the Army Ant Company is in trouble, so we can buy them the most time.

"Pleasant to work with."

"Ask him if he can sell us the virus program and anti-virus software for $2000 million." Nadella said hastily when he saw the reply from the clown.

"Not interested in."

After three simple words, no matter how much Weiss sent a message, there was still no reply.With a sullen face, Nadella took out his phone and followed the clown's Twitter.

Minutes and seconds passed, and as time went by, Nadella's calm face changed slightly.The clown hasn't tweeted yet, I'm afraid the 300 million has been thrown into the water.

Just as he was already disappointed and was about to put away his phone and leave the villa, a push message shocked him.

Chapter 176 Wei Zhe

The sunshine that slipped in through the window brought a bit of warmth to this cold winter, and it was another pleasant morning.

After washing up, he left the room and saw Xiao Yu preparing breakfast for him.Chen Mo smiled knowingly and sat beside her.

"Just made it, eat it while it's hot." Xiao Yu handed the hot milk to Chen Mo.

Since Chen Mo vomited out of nowhere last time, Xiao Yu paid special attention to his diet.

"Ah."

Chen Mo responded, took the milk, and looked at Xiao Yu with a smile.

"Why are you looking at me? You're having breakfast." Being stared at by Chen Mo, Xiao Yu also smiled: "Aren't you hungry just looking at me?"

"Yes, it's delicious." Chen Mo nodded seriously.

"Go on, I like to hear it, praise me quickly."

Xiao Yu laughed, picked up the eggs, peeled them and put them in Chen Mo's bowl.

In the eyes of outsiders, this man is calm and confident.But when he was back at the villa, or with her, he sometimes acted like a little boy.

It's just that this big boy belongs to her alone.

After breakfast was finished in a warm atmosphere, the two also went out to the company.

During this period of time, Marching Army Ant Company was attacked by various public opinions, and there were many troubles, but Chen Mo did not need to deal with these matters.

The company's affairs, big and small, are all handled by Zhao Min. Chen Mo only needs to do his own research and doesn't have to worry about the company's troubles at all.

Chen Mo's car slowed down not far from the company.

From a distance, the entrance of the Army Ant Company can be seen, surrounded by many reporters.It was the first time that there were so many reporters just after working hours.

This scene made Chen Mo frown.

Xiao Yu also saw this scene, and immediately took out his phone and turned it on.As soon as I opened the news page, I saw a lot of news headlines.

"Joker admits, received technical support from Army Ant Company. "

"Army Ant Company secretly supports the Clown Organization? "

"Is the Clown Virus a Conspiracy of the Army Ant Company? "

"The clown and the army ants have a falling out? "

"Chen Mo, this."

Xiao Yu handed the phone to Chen Mo.
