Chapter 992

Chapter 992 Cut off the beard

At noon, Guan Hongsheng had lunch at Gao Jin's place and had a drink with Gao Jin.

During this period, big bosses from Dandong City and Beihai City called Guan Hongsheng, and Guan Hongsheng clearly informed them that the chairman would hold a meeting to vote after work tomorrow.

The accurate results will be announced tomorrow morning. I apologize if you fail!

The words were very polite and the communication between the two parties was relatively smooth.

It is slowly entering night on the Chinese side, and daytime is beginning to enter on the American side.

Starlink Company, Musk hosted a meeting of all technical staff to discuss why the Starlink satellite network was out of control!

In this accident, Starlink suffered heavy losses.

First of all, you have to compensate the military for its losses. The military gave Starlink a contract. The contract stipulates that Starlink must compensate if there is a disconnection.

There are no exemptions for force majeure factors.

Another thing is that there are many people using Starlink around the world at the moment, and many people are already planning to sue Starlink. The disconnection of Starlink has caused serious economic losses to itself.

Also, there are currently 41,171 satellites, and 38,642 satellites have been lost in one go.

It can be said that the entire Starlink satellite is basically useless.

Rebuilding is not that simple. It requires the right time, place, and various conditions.

In the past, no country objected to the civilian use as an excuse, but facts have proven that Starlink serves the military. This is already a fact, and there is no way to quibble.

Countries will definitely no longer provide convenience to Starlink.

Some countries have already raised this matter at the United Nations. Although it has not caused much trouble yet, signs of this have already appeared.

Musk is very clear that the world environment no longer allows him to rearrange Starlink, and deep down he has no intention of rebuilding Starlink Company.

However, Starlink technology is still very valuable. When colonizing planets in the future, the Starlink satellite network can be upgraded to a planetary satellite defense network.

The top priority is to figure out the reason for this loss of control.

Musk does not believe that hackers can invade the Starlink satellite system. The entire Starlink system has a three-layer firewall and a defense system with three different mechanisms.

After breaking the first layer of defense net, you must break the second layer within ten minutes, and then spend ten minutes breaking the third layer.

Starlink secretly invited ten world-class hackers to conduct attacks and tests, and also asked the Hexagon's Invisible Blade cyber force to conduct attack tests.

After these two tests, Starlink Company received a large contract from the military.

After Musk spoke, he took a sip of coffee and waited for everyone to speak.

As a result, no one in the circle spoke, and this situation made Musk a little uncomfortable.

I'm used to talking to each other, but I didn't expect it to have such an effect. No one dared to speak.

He frowned and thought for a while, took out his checkbook from his pocket, wrote a check and showed it to everyone, for ten thousand dollars.

"Everyone, I can tell you for sure that Starlink will not be rebuilt."

"If you answer the questions to my satisfaction, you can get bonuses and new jobs. If your performance is not approved by me,"

"Sorry, you will be on the layoff list!"

After Musk finished speaking, he put the check on the table, then looked at the watch on his wrist and said, "I only give you ten minutes, the countdown begins."

Everyone was dumbfounded. They didn't expect Musk to play this trick. They frowned and started thinking.

Soon, someone raised their hand. When Musk saw it, he smiled and said, "Mike, tell me."

Mike stood up, looked at Musk and said, "I was in the command center when the Starlink accident happened. The first thing that appeared was the problem number XXXX, and then the alarm sounded."

"This shows that there is a problem in the system, and then it causes the loss of control."

"I think the firewall was breached and the impossible task was completed by a hacker!"

"To prevent this from happening, we must upgrade the firewall system."

After listening to Mike's speech, Musk began to think about it. Musk also thought of the situation Mike mentioned, but Musk did not believe that a hacker could do this.

"I would like to add that it is very possible that the core code of our firewall has been leaked," Mike added.

Marcus's eyes lit up. Mike's words reminded Musk that the firewall design team was slowly cleaned up after he split it up.

Then a new group of people were replaced to be responsible for the firewall, so that maximum confidentiality could be achieved.

However, there is a certain risk in this, as someone may keep the core code privately.

"very good"

"Mike, this is yours, and I will do what I said."

"I'll give you a week off, and you can go to SpaceX to report to me after one week."

After Musk finished speaking, he picked up the check and handed it to the assistant beside him. The assistant took the check and came to Mark and handed the check to Mike.

"Thank you, boss" Mike said.

"You deserve this," Musk said, waving his hand and asking Mike to sit down.

Then, Musk wrote another check and put it on the table, looked at everyone and said, "This time it is nine thousand dollars, and it will be reduced by one thousand dollars each time."

"When the amount becomes zero, your speech will have no meaning."

As soon as he finished speaking, a man named Denver immediately raised his hand. Musk smiled and nodded, and the man named Denver stood up.

The meeting lasted for almost an hour, and Musk really only listened to nine questions. After the ninth person spoke, Musk stood up and left the conference room.

The real technical personnel have been found, and the remaining personnel are dispensable personnel with little value. They can be included in the layoff list.

If you recruit a new group of people, the salary and benefits paid will be much reduced, which is more cost-effective for the boss.

In the morning of the morning market, the whole night passed.

Gao Jin started working normally. Not long after arriving at the office, several senior executives of Xingling Group and Mapel arrived at Gao Jin's office and began to consider the implementation of the project.

During this period, Guan Hongsheng received another call from Cao Yuanzhong, the relevant department. The content was still the same, suggesting that Xingling Group place this project in Dandong City.

Guan Hongsheng glanced at Gao Jin, and Gao Jin made an indifferent gesture. Wei Mingyang also called Gao Jin last night, with the same intention as Cao Yuanzhong, hoping that Gao Jin would place this project in Dandong City.

The economy of the south is already developed enough, and the economy of the north needs high-tech projects to improve the economy. The economic development of the north and the south must be balanced.

Gao Jin agreed last night.

"Call Beihai City and explain. Just say that this is the opinion of the relevant departments. Cao Yuanzhong made several calls to recommend it," Gao Jin said with a smile.

Zhou Ziru and others all laughed. It was obvious that the chairman was digging a hole for this person.

"Chairman, Cao Yuanzhong is the newly appointed giant in the relevant department," Guan Hongsheng said with a wry smile.

"Teach us to tell the truth," Gao Jin said easily, and everyone couldn't help laughing.

Guan Hongsheng reluctantly picked up the phone and started calling people in Beihai City to inform them of the result of losing the election and why. This is what I said above. You can ask Cao Yuanzhong.

After everyone finished laughing, Gao Jin took a sip of tea and said, "Laoguan, Mapel, you guys pack up and go to Dandong City. If the conditions are met, sign the contract."

Mapel and Guan Hongsheng immediately said "I understand."

At noon, everyone must have a drink together. The Xingling Group has endless fun eating and drinking.

The first and second leaders in Beihai City were completely furious. They had worked hard for almost a year, but it was all in vain.

If fair competition failed, it would be acceptable. However, because the interference from above failed, neither of the two bosses could accept it.

Let's discuss it. In the afternoon, the two of them will take a car to the province together to ask for an explanation from their superiors. This matter must not be let go like this!

We must be compensated!

Two days passed slowly. Mapel and Guan Hongsheng led the team to Dandong City and began to enter the formal negotiation stage. As a result, something happened again.

Dandong City's original promise to be fully responsible for infrastructure construction changed, and Dandong City and the investors each shouldered half of the responsibility. This was unacceptable to Guan Hongsheng and Mapel.

He made it clear that he could not accept this kind of back-tracking, and the negotiations broke up that day.

Dandong City has no choice. After calculation, the construction of all supporting infrastructure will require an investment of nearly 3 billion, which is something Dandong City cannot afford.

As soon as they discussed it, and with the support of the relevant departments this time, they changed the conditions and started negotiating with the Xingling Group.

I also communicated with my superiors beforehand and became more courageous.

The discussion continued the next day, and Guan Hongsheng said that if both parties had to bear half of the cost, it would be fine, and Xingling Group's public welfare projects could be cancelled.

The two sides argued back and forth all morning, to no avail.

Guan Hongsheng and Mapel were already angry. If it weren't for not delaying things, I would have turned around and left without investing.

In the afternoon, when Guan Hongsheng and Mapel were discussing the matter in the room, there was a knock on the door, "Who is it?" Guan Hongsheng shouted.

"I" said the person outside the door. Guan Hongsheng was stunned. The voice seemed familiar.

He stood up, walked over and opened the door. He was stunned when he saw the person standing at the door, Guan Hongsheng, Li Mingjie, a senior official of Beihai City.

Li Mingjie smiled and went straight into the house regardless of whether Guan Hongsheng cared about it or not. Guan Hongsheng reacted and immediately closed the door.

"Old Li, what are you doing?" Guan Hongsheng asked.

"Laoguan, our Beihai City is very sincere. I heard about your affairs and flew over overnight."

"Your negotiations didn't go well, even if you signed the contract, there will definitely be a lot of trouble in the future."

"I hope you will go to Beihai City for inspection. All our promises will count. I sincerely invite you to come."

Li Wenjie said these words sincerely. Mapel and Guan Hongsheng looked at each other. To be honest, they didn't want to continue like this.
