Yu Qingdong was teasing with his beautiful secretary outside when the confidential phone rang, informing him that there was a meeting he needed to attend.
This meeting and that meeting all day long kept people from calming down... He complained and put on his coat. Before leaving the company, the beautiful secretary reminded him that the second trial of the lawsuit had begun.
This is another trouble!
When it comes to it, Yu Qingdong is full of lawsuits. Public opinion is increasingly biased towards the plaintiff, and the call for supervision of players' gaming behavior is getting louder. The company is under great pressure in this regard and has been asking them to come up with a clear statement.
The attitude, whether on the side of the plaintiff or the defendant, cannot continue to be so ambiguous.
Supervision?
Are you supervising it?
In addition to the manipulation of the helmet, all actions of players in the game are not subject to offline control. Even banning a player from logging in or restricting certain people's gaming behavior cannot be done. How can we talk about supervision!?
In addition to this lawsuit, the emergence of some taboo content in Canaan's game content and functions is also one of the driving forces.
'Yellow gambling' is easy to understand. This 'poison' is an attack on the Canaan game itself, saying that it is like a drug, making people addicted to the virtual world. Most of the time in reality, it is like a corpse and cannot create any value.
It cannot make any substantial contribution to society, cannot produce anything, and instead continuously consumes social resources.
Such criticism is not unreasonable. The problem is that the Canaan game is not as simple as it appears on the surface.
Canaan Company's precision equipment processing factory is as heavily guarded as ever. It has become a holy place. The only product - gaming helmets, is no longer a secret, so many domestic and foreign cloud players come to 'pilgrimage' and devoutly follow
Like a true pilgrim.
Naturally, these people couldn't enter the factory, so they gathered in large numbers around it, as if being close enough to the factory would bring them good luck, and they would have a greater chance of drawing lots next time.
Several surrounding villages have developed and become tourist attractions. When Yu Qingdong passed one of them, he saw that the village with heavy construction had transformed into a prosperous small town, and he could smell a strong scent of sandalwood from a distance.
, I have also seen that Taoist monks and the like are very popular, and even many foreigners believe in this, telling fortunes and praying for blessings, etc., just for a psychological comfort.
“It’s such a mess and no one is taking care of it?”
Yu Qingdong complained, this scene only increased the pressure on him.
Thousands of people pointed it out, and it ended without any disease!
The fifth test, the fifth test... What will be discussed at this meeting will most likely be this topic.
really……
"Xiao Yu, when you last contacted Zero, did he clarify the time for the fifth test?"
"He didn't say that. He just said that he was going on a long trip. When he comes back, he will start preparations for the fifth test."
"Going on a far journey? Have you ever asked him why he went there?"
"How dare I do this? Everything I say must be recorded and archived..."
"Haha, don't be nervous. Have you contacted him recently? Has he come back?"
Yu Qingdong was a little baffled. Not only were all the unfamiliar faces attending and chairing the meeting, but the seemingly amiable old man in front of him also gave him a different feeling. "Every contact I have with him must be reported for approval."
Yes, every word you say is scripted in advance. Even if it is an unexpected situation or improvisation, it must be explained afterwards and detailed minutes must be submitted.”
"Uh... you are very defensive. Relax, relax, just treat it as a casual chat."
Yu Qingdong looked at the unfamiliar faces sitting on both sides of the conference table. Not only did he not relax, but he became even more nervous.
What happened?
What about Professor Xue and his gang?
Only then did he realize that since he left Canaan Company, he had been under de facto house arrest. He had never had any contact with the outside world. He had been 'locked' in the car the entire journey, all the way to this place, without meeting anyone along the way.
"I'm not nervous, not nervous..."
"Your contact method with Zero has always been through WeChat, so have you ever considered changing to a safer method?"
"I have considered it, but... Zero has a special identity, and his perception is the most important. After several evaluations, it was rejected."
"Well... Number Zero's perception is indeed very important. As long as he finds it convenient, we can go to some trouble..."
"That's how I thought about it at the time."
"For the fifth test, apart from the public information, is there anything else that has not been disclosed to the outside world?"
"Yes, the number of game qualifications for this test is expected to be 10 times that of the current number, exceeding one million."
"Good guy, millions of people..."
"Also, we may not be able to stop Canaan's internationalization this time. Zero has a very firm attitude in this regard."
"In other words, the fifth test will be international?"
"Yes, the most we can do is strive for more game qualifications and equipment... and in that tender, the artificial intelligence program should also be delivered."
"Speaking of that tender, what did you think?"
"I...have no idea."
"Comrade Xiao Yu, you must have noticed that our current conversation is extremely serious, and I hope you won't hide anything... As far as we know, you have made a lot of complaints in private, saying that laymen guide experts, and that
Some people are crazy about achieving political achievements, and Number Zero will not dance with someone’s baton... Is there any?"
"Yes, yes."
"Then you still say you don't have any ideas?"
Yu Qingdong had beads of sweat on his forehead, and he thought desperately about what had happened. He felt unusual.
But they asked themselves, they acted upright and stood upright. Except for some insignificant details, they never did anything that crossed the line.
"At that time, Project Zero discovered a backdoor in the artificial intelligence program we delivered. This backdoor had not been evaluated or approved. It was the brainchild of some people who parachuted into Project Zero. Later, something went wrong.
We were left extremely passive, so we said some grumbling words..."
"Well, some people who parachuted into Project Zero? Very good. What do you think of the recent hot lawsuit?"
"Official, lawsuit?" Yu Qingdong's head didn't turn around for a while.
"It's the case that's being tried in Province K."
"ah!"
Yu Qingdong was first excited, then suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and then his mind went "buzzing!" and he went numb.
Could it be said, could it be said that...
"What's wrong, Xiaoyu?"
"Ah, no, it's nothing. I thought this lawsuit was strange at the beginning. Considering the nature of Canaan and the status and influence of our company, it shouldn't have such a huge social impact. Later I guessed, wouldn't it?
It was the superior who wanted to take advantage of the opportunity..."
"Don't make wild guesses. I can tell you, no, at least I have not received any such instructions from the highest level."
"ah!?"
"Now tell me what you think about this lawsuit."
"...Conspiracy, there is definitely a conspiracy in it."
"What conspiracy? Tell me about it."
"It's the same nature as the last backdoor incident. Certain people and certain forces are trying to create a rift between us and Zero!"
"Well, that's a good point. Then tell me, who are the people who have such energy that even you, the CEO of Canaan Company, don't consciously act in accordance with their baton?"
This 'unconsciousness' relieved Yu Qingdong's psychological pressure. He did not dare to neglect anything and followed the hint in the other party's words, "It should be within us, from the top to the executive level, from Yanjing to the local level,
They have all been infiltrated by an organization, taking advantage of the information barrier caused by Canaan's confidentiality level to stir up trouble in the dark..."
"Very good, now do you understand the purpose of today's conversation?"
"Yes, yes."
"Without this conversation, what are you going to do next based on someone else's baton?"
"I will use this lawsuit and the various problems that have arisen in Canaan to communicate with Zero and try to open up the situation and obtain his concessions, so that we can obtain some game data and influence some
Game behavior and content, so as to achieve the purpose of understanding deeper truths and technologies."
"You just said that the perception of No. 0 is the most important."
"Yes."
"Now, aren't you contradicting yourself?"
"This is the purpose of creating rifts. It coincides with the sensitive period of the fifth test. If Zero has a bad impression of us, or feels threatened by us, it may increase its intensity, or even turn to an overseas organization.
and power.”
After saying that, Yu Qingdong's underwear was soaked with sweat.
The conference room was completely silent. Except for the seemingly amiable old man, the participants had sullen faces and expressionless faces throughout.
Either he listened without saying a word, or he buried his head in recording something, or he stared at him with sharp eyes, not missing any micro-expression changes.
At this time, a middle-aged man with a military temperament sitting opposite said, "I think it's okay."
The 'kind' old man then took out a thick document from under the conference table and handed it over, "The situation is very serious, you should take a look first."
Yu Qingdong took it with trembling fingers, opened it and took a look, his head buzzed again.
'This is a costly piece of information, sent back by our overseas intelligence personnel at the risk of death. Our 'infinite quality', our formula, array diagram and processing technology of special materials, and the drawings of the special environment we simulated
, actually appeared openly in the briefcase that the CIA was preparing to submit to the White House... This intelligence officer has died..."
Yu Qingdong could no longer hear the rest of the words clearly. After reading the first page, the content on the second page was even more shocking.
Including him, everyone related to Project Zero and the Canaan secret-level unit was affected.
Naturally, he himself has no problems, but his family, his friends, his colleagues, and even the new head teacher of his daughter who is in elementary school have all been infiltrated.
And his beautiful secretary, who has had a great career and love recently. In addition to being his boss and lover, he also fell in love with a fitness instructor who is more handsome than Daniel Wu...
"How's it going? What do you think?"
"I, I..."
"First of all, I want to congratulate you, Comrade Xiao Yu. Not everyone can stand the inspection of a magnifying glass. You passed the test, so you can sit here today."
"I, I..."
"Don't be nervous. The purpose of today is to calm you down and let you understand the seriousness of the situation. There will be many changes in the future. As the person in charge of the overall situation on the table, you cannot be chaotic and must be calm."
"Yes, yes, I will definitely do my job well." Yu Qingdong promised while wiping his sweat.
"What should I do, or what should I do..."
"yes!"
"Contact with Zero cannot be interrupted!"
"Ah...it was originally scheduled for today..."
"Contact Number Zero?"
"Yes, yes!"
"Let's get started!" The old man was already prepared. A middle-aged woman wearing black-rimmed glasses stood up. A screen monitor and keyboard were raised on the conference table, and the large screen on the wall also lit up.
"Just follow what this comrade said and communicate with Zero."
The old man pointed at the middle-aged woman with black-rimmed glasses and said.
Yu Qingdong smiled at this man and touched the keyboard with wet fingers.
Click on the WeChat interface and there will be a contact on it.
"I told you to do it!" said the black-rimmed glasses.
"Okay, okay."
"Hello, Chairman, are you there!?"
Yu Qingdong typed according to her tone and was about to send it out but was stopped.
The man with black-rimmed glasses touched his chin and pondered for a while, then ordered: "Remove the exclamation mark and add a smiling emoticon to finish."
Yu Qingdong followed her instructions honestly.
"Hello, Chairman, are you here? (smile)"
What's left is an excruciating wait.
The conference room was completely silent, except for the clicking sound of the clock's hands moving forward...
Fortunately, we didn't have to wait long.
"Haha...just came back."
The moment he saw the reply, Yu Qingdong felt more comfortable than eating ginseng fruit. For a moment, he was simply... in a state of ecstasy. His body and mind were both dizzy. He waited until the black-framed glasses behind him were pushed up, and then he was
Wake up from this complex and unspeakable excitement.
"I'm about to contact you. You can prepare for the fifth test. There will be big changes in this test. Your task is very heavy, Xiaoyu!"
Yu Qingdong looked back blankly and at a loss. His expression in the black-rimmed glasses was also a little excited, but his eyes were surprisingly bright.
"Resolutely serve the chairman, please give the order...slap your chest expression!"
Yu Qingdong quickly responded according to the instructions.
"This is what you said, don't complain to me then."
"Guaranteed to complete the mission (salute)"
"The fifth test will be deleted!"
What, delete files!?
It was not for this occasion, and it was not for this emotional state, otherwise Yu Qingdong would definitely jump up.
How to delete files? You must know that what is deleted is not just simple game data, but a huge amount of money, energy, relationships and interests.
Who can delete it, who dares to delete it!?
No one dares to, but, but, this person is the damn exception!
He's afraid of nothing, he's not afraid of anything, but it's me who takes the blame, me!
"Chairman, don't scare me!"
"Why do you want to go back on your word? The promise you made just now has a chat record."
"Well done, Chairman, Xiao Yu wants to live for two more years."
These two sentences did not come from black-rimmed glasses. They were typed by Yu Qingdong subconsciously, but the person behind him surprisingly did not stop him.
Maybe she didn't know how to respond appropriately.
