I'm just sorry for plagiarism

So just like that, seeing the revenue getting worse and worse, countless game companies are holding mobilization meetings day after day.

While regretting, he was also discussing various countermeasures.

Even if the effect is minimal, no one would be willing to watch their players become someone else's audience.

And at noon the next day, I was in a medium-sized company with rather exquisite decoration. ,

The atmosphere in the conference room was actually a little tense.

The vice president hadn't arrived yet, and a small leader below had a sad expression on his face, clutching his chin, and tapping the table with one hand.

Suddenly there were footsteps outside the door, and after a while, a secretary with big breasts and hips knocked on the door and walked over.

Holding a stack of thick printed documents in her arms, she looked around the crowd and said, "This is what President Lu asked me to hand over to you, about last week's profit report."

Then no one paid her any attention.

The scene was still silent.

The secretary was a little helpless, sighed quietly, and distributed the documents to the desks of each employee.

"Just take a look, before the meeting starts, analyze why the players ran so much."

"And why, doesn't he know in his heart?"

An employee next to him lowered his head and couldn't help muttering softly.

It seems quite resentful.

No wonder I complained in my heart.

Since this week, the company has held three internal meetings. The day before yesterday they clamored for wage cuts, forced employees to work overtime yesterday, and announced layoff notices this morning. So tomorrow, what will happen tomorrow?

neither knows.

The prospects are not good, the wages cannot be paid, and individuals cannot be motivated.

While the employees were muttering to themselves, the CEO knocked on the door and walked in from outside.

As always, he swaggered, but there were two dark circles on his face, and he didn't know if he had gone to the secretary, or he was just in a bad mood and didn't sleep well because he didn't have any money to make.

The employees stood up reluctantly, and said hello to the boss, which was regarded as a greeting.

"Sit down, let's talk about layoffs today, the list has been given to you, and you can contact the HR managers of various departments later."

The president-like man sighed and said regretfully.

What followed was a chatter.

It's nothing more than describing how dire the prospect is and how this month's salary will shrink.

It's not good to repeat the old tune, but every sentence goes deep into the bone marrow, making it hard to let go.

Most of the well-known online game companies are established in developed economic districts, where housing prices are high, and under such circumstances, the remuneration will be exploited again, which is almost tantamount to dragging people to a dead end.

Half an hour later, the meeting that decided the fate of fifty people in the company finally came to an end.

When the meeting adjourned, the other employees all looked depressed, holding the documents in their arms and walking towards the outside of the house step by step.

The little leader who murmured that he had a bad temper before was called down.

Originally, he was still packing up the documents, but when he heard the leader's shout, he was taken aback and moved closer.

"Mr. Lu, what's the matter with you?"

Seeing Mr. Lu squinting his eyes.

"I want you to contact someone?"

"Who?"

"Huang Yongjia, one of the core planners of Xia Ming Studio, he designed the map of the game "Fantasy". I heard that you and him are college classmates. I guess I misheard, right?"

Huang Yongjia was indeed a college classmate with himself, and this matter was also said by himself at a company reception.At that time, the two games had no intersection, and I just used it as an after-dinner talk to show off, but this time the appearance of a new game has severely squeezed their game market, and it also made President Lu think about such a thing. up.

Hearing this, the little leader was slightly taken aback, then nodded. "I understand what you mean."

Between shopping malls, intrigues, either you dig me or I dig you, such methods are not uncommon, and such practices have long become commonplace, and it is not dirty and dark.

"Just tell him like this, as long as he comes to our company, then we will not lose a penny of the salary at the old club. Not only that, but the various benefits and benefits will be tripled? I must get this person, Do you understand?" President Lu paused, and added another sentence.

The little leader couldn't help but gasped.

When he was on the phone before, he naturally heard his old classmates talking about Xia Ming's studio's treatment and remuneration, and he vaguely remembered that it was a lot of money in the six figures.

If this is tripled again, it is not too much to say that it is a sky-high figure, right?

In a daze, the little leader suddenly reacted.

The reason why President Lu deliberately laid off more than 50 employees at today's meeting.

It turned out that it was to save resources and make room for this famous designer?

After all, the cost of a core position is not comparable to that of those small employees, so naturally more positions should be vacated.

Anyway, the current game is in a downturn, so there is no need to keep so many people in the company to eat.

As President Lu said, he seemed a little unwilling, and sighed heavily.

"I want to see how the talents of Xia Ming Studio are superior to the talents of our company, and why they can design such fun and novel games, while our company only has a group of They will only eat trash!"

This sentence is really too embarrassing.

The little leader could only smile apologetically.

"That's it? President Lu, I'll contact him right now."

It's just that the smile was dry, like paper, and looked quite forced.

I am also the manager of this company's development position. This sentence is tantamount to giving myself a heavy slap.

But so what?He is the boss, and the company's prospects are indeed sluggish. If you really want to say, the efficiency and creativity of Xia Ming's studio are indeed much more efficient than those guys who are just waiting to die.

"Wait a minute, there is one more thing."

Unexpectedly, at this time, President Lu stretched out his hand and called out the figure who was about to leave.

Looking at the gray-faced President, the little leader stopped in his tracks.

Seeing that the other party hesitated, he sighed softly.

"Did the company's server be attacked by a group of hacker alliance guys?"

Hearing this, the little leader couldn't help shaking his back.

"Well, there was a lot of trouble here. The game server was shut down for five days. The other party's virus was too powerful. The internal staff couldn't crack it. There was no way. If the ransom hadn't been paid in the end, I'm afraid it would be now The game has been forced to stop serving."

This is generally the case for online games, the maintenance of the server, the fees for various advertisements, even if they are not in operation for only a day or two, the loss is a huge figure.

Even if the ransom demanded by the Hacking League is sky-high.

If not, then the company's loss-making profits will exceed the total amount of ransom in just two or three days.As for the lesser of two evils, paying the humiliating and heart-wrenching ransom has no other choice.

122 Chapter 122, Hacker Organization

The conversation between the two is not considered confidential. After all, this incident caused a lot of trouble in the office. Not only that, but there were also many reports on the Internet.

Their company is called White Goose Network, and the two games they are running are slightly different from the action masterpieces on the market. One is a puzzle card-oriented board game, and the style is a bit like the Three Kingdoms Killed in the previous life.As for the other one, it's just a 2D paper man action online game, the style is quite similar to that of MapleStory.

The attention of these two games on the Internet is not particularly high, but the annual profit is about 2000 million after excluding the development cost and maintenance cost. The profit is quite satisfactory, not too big, but it is definitely not a small company. up.

Perhaps because of this reason, their White Goose Network was targeted by an extremely mysterious hacker organization last year.

The name of that organization is a string of inexplicable English codes, unreadable and messy, it looks like an obscure style, and its reputation on the Internet is not obvious. In the beginning, White Goose Network did not let this group of people go. in the eyes.

But I didn't expect that these hackers were merciless at all, and they crashed the server of their White Goose Network with three times and five divisions.

You know, every online game company, and even every Internet company has its own virus defense team.Unexpectedly, the firewall set up by such a group of elites is like a piece of paper in front of the virus developed by the Hacking Alliance. Are you surprised?

White Goose Network also thought of resistance at first, but perhaps the attack software sent by the other party was too invulnerable, no matter how they tried to kill the virus, they couldn't find any flaws.In desperation, Mr. Lu had no choice but to order Xiao Liu in the company, who is now the little leader, to hand over to the other party and pay the ransom.

I vaguely remember that the ransom was nearly 200 million, which was considered a sky-high figure.But I can't locate the other party's information at all here, even if I call the police, it won't help.

It is also because of this reason that the name of the hacker alliance is like a nightmare in their White Goose Network Company, a taboo topic, no one dares to mention it, no one dares to provoke it.

But I didn't expect that now, President Lu personally touched this taboo topic.

The leader named Xiao Liu was stunned and fell into surprise.

"President Lu, what do you mean?"

"I still have 50 yuan here, which is your start-up capital. This is the result of discussions with the old chairman of the board yesterday. They said that you should hand over to the other party, because in our case, only you still keep the other side. contact information." President Lu said vaguely, looking at Xiao Liu, "You should know what the money is for, right?"

This old man Lu is worthy of being the high-ranking CEO, he only speaks half of his words, in a cloud of fog.It's like playing a charade.

If Xiao Liu hadn't been working at White Goose Media for the past two years, he probably wouldn't have known what this guy was trying to say. ,

It seems that he is thoughtful.

This kind of practice is not justified, and even if the matter is revealed, President Lu can quickly get away and use Xiao Liu as a scapegoat.

And Xiao Liu is not a fool. When he met the other party's gaze, he immediately understood what he meant.

Immediately nodded.

Quickly left the conference hall.

He didn't immediately return to his desk to work.

Instead, he pushed open the door next door and walked into another small room with excellent sound insulation and few people.

He took out his mobile phone and turned over the previous call records.

dial.

About 5 minutes later, the call was connected.

There was silence over there, like a dark cloud shrouded the corner.But Xiao Liu here took a deep breath, trembling, and asked calmly.

"Do you know the game "Dream"?"

"The server resources of Xia Ming's studio, if you are called to attack... 20, can you move it?"

"If it's not enough, our White Goose Network can add more."

He probed softly.

The sun is shining outside.

But when the bright light passed through the pleated leaves, it was divided into fragmented spots of light.

It was all scattered, sprinkled in this gloomy hut.

…………

the next morning.

The eldest lady who slowly sat up from the soft bed rubbed her sleepy eyes, as if she hadn't expected a storm that was about to come, and was already waiting for her in the near future.

She just yawned, looking at the noisy atmosphere of the entire hotel, feeling helpless.

Everything about this hotel is good, it is located in the outskirts, quiet, the night and day views are beautiful, the decoration is not expensive but it is warm.Especially the dinner is also delicious, which can almost be regarded as excellent value for money.

But the helpless thing is that the house is not soundproof, every morning at this time there is a burst of noise, all kinds of footsteps and noise almost stump her head, isn't this too annoying?Also keep people from sleeping.

Well, this is just a couple of complaints.

Li Xia himself knew that it was already 06:30 in the morning, and it was already time to go to work, so naturally it was not time to sleep.On the contrary, her behavior of staying in bed is somewhat inappropriate.

So the eldest lady just sighed, then stood up reluctantly, and went to the bathroom to wash up.

When he came out again, his lackluster appearance calmed down a bit.

Going downstairs and going out, in front of that high-end car, seeing his daughter's lack of energy, the father couldn't help but feel a little distressed.

"Why don't you stop going today and follow me tomorrow?"

The eldest lady waved her hand, and sank herself into the co-pilot's seat cushion, "Today there is a scene I'm more curious about, so I have to watch it anyway."

"Which one is coming out?"

The stubborn appearance of his daughter made the father helpless, shaking his head and sitting in the driver's seat.

The eldest lady just laughed.

It was referring to, of course, the one that was not finished filming yesterday.
