Chapter 169 You Should Thank Me
It has been 15 days since the Lingyu Technology data loss incident that shocked the domestic mobile game industry, but the industry earthquake has not yet completely subsided.
The perpetrator's behavior was extremely bad and left no room for maneuver.
No matter how the staff of Lingyu Technology rescued, they could not restore the lost user information. According to industry estimates, the direct economic loss suffered by Lingyu Technology is as high as 1.4 billion RMB, and the indirect loss is even more difficult to estimate.
In any case, this brand that has been in business for several years and has a good reputation among players has been discredited. Even if Lingyu Technology tried to transform into the direction of main game development by divesting the operation of the game from the business, it was still in vain.
There is no other reason. If you see Lingyu Technology, no matter how good the game is, players will not buy it. If players don't buy it, which operator would dare to take over?
If the data is lost, it will be lost. Even if you are a victim, why is the server of others not killed, but yours? Can't you spend some money to improve the security factor of the server?
In short, once the hat is buckled on the head, it cannot be taken off again. Even 361, a long-term partner of Lingyu Technology, has maintained a cautious attitude towards its new games.
This vicious Internet crime incident not only shocked the industry, but the aftermath even spread to other levels.
Angry netizens obviously made things worse. When the incident in the circle became a social incident, the relevant departments had to respond.
Internet security is on the table again.
First of all, the "Renren Daily" gave a headline, severely criticizing the illegal behavior of disregarding the law and maliciously using hacking technology, and at the same time saying that the relevant departments are holding a meeting to discuss the improvement of the law...
At the same time, the investigation and arrest of the perpetrators are also in full swing.
A task force of cybersecurity experts was quickly formed.
The attacker's p was quickly locked, and even after multiple layers of concealment, it still failed to escape the tracking of professionals. No matter how clever hackers are, as long as they come here, they will definitely leave clues.
Zhang Hao. That is, the black tiger was quickly arrested and brought to justice. Although he was confused and said he didn't know, he still couldn't excuse his illegal behavior.
The computer used for the crime was retrieved from his bedroom, and all the stolen goods were recovered.
Under the panic of Zhang Hao, whose face was ashen,
Immediately will deal with Ling Zhongtian. And Xie Lei's things were shaken out. He insisted that this was framed and framed, and Xie Lei must have done it. He was the third-ranked blue bird in the Hacker Alliance, and only he had the strength to hack into Lingyu Technology's server.
However, he couldn't produce any evidence.
When it is found that the U disk in the bookcase has disappeared. When the "criminal evidence" stored in the computer disappeared, Zhang Hao was completely dumbfounded.
Because Xie Lei has left the country, the reason is to take his sister to Germany for medical treatment. Although the source of its medical funds is a mystery, it is not enough to constitute a criminal proof. Xie Lei's own account has not changed funds, but a confidential overseas account has purchased air tickets for him and paid medical expenses at the same time. Although this behavior may seem mysterious, it is clear that the mystery is not sufficient evidence.
After some forensic investigation, the investigators did not find any connection between the case and Xie Lei, but found a lot of interesting things.
A few days ago, Zhang Hao had an illegal transaction with Ling Zhongtian. Attack the server of future people technology...
However, the entrustment was cancelled, and Zhang Hao voluntarily applied to terminate the entrustment on the grounds that the remuneration was too low. Of course, he didn't have this memory. The reason is also very simple, because it was Xie Lei who used his computer to log in to his account and canceled the commission.
The case has come to a conclusion.
The perpetrator, Zhang Hao, terminated the contract because of a "labor-management dispute" with Ling Zhongtian, the president of Lingyu Technology, and held a grudge against him at the same time. So he used hacking technology to hack into Lingyu Technology's server and permanently destroyed its user data, causing incalculable huge economic losses to Lingyu Technology. In view of its bad social impact and the huge amount involved. The court sentenced Zhang Hao to life imprisonment.
Zhang Hao refused to accept the appeal, but the higher court directly rejected his appeal request and upheld the original judgment.
As for Ling Zhongtian, although there was an illegal act, because it was an "attempt", it is difficult to define the severity of the circumstances. So he was not punished.
However, the matter did not end there. The news that Ling Zhongtian hired hackers to attack Futureren's technology server was quickly leaked to the Internet by "concerned people". Ling Zhongtian's identity instantly changed from a victim to a villain who shot himself in the foot.
Netizens who were still sympathetic to him and defended Lingyu Technology have also turned black and joined a new round of verbal criticism against Lingyu Technology.
Of course, there are also a small number of voices who said that this is likely to be a conspiracy of Future Ren Technology, because they are the biggest beneficiaries of the collapse of Lingyu Technology, the leader of the old mobile game industry. However, these voices were quickly labeled as conspiracy theories and drowned in a sea of war of words.
In the future, the strength of human technology still needs to rely on smearing opponents? Are those junk games of Lingyu Technology also worthy of comparison with "New Era"?
It's very interesting, it's the fans who once supported Dota Epic, my name is atm, who stand up to defend the reputation of future people's technology. As the so-called love is all, hate is deep. When they were utterly disappointed with Lingyu Technology, and when they were bored, they tried the "New Era" of Futureren Technology, and instantly felt that the game they had been sticking to was nothing.
As a result, Futureren Technology successfully took over those users who originally belonged to Lingyu Technology. The number of registered users exceeded 50 million in one fell swoop, and the estimated monthly turnover exceeded 400 million, setting two records in the history of mobile games.
Its dominance has been unshakable.
The frontal battlefield has already been decided, but the battle has not stopped there.
Affected by successive scandals and plummeting performance, the stock price of Lingyu Technology has occupied the top of the monthly decline list with 10 consecutive limit-down declines, becoming the worst listed company on the ChiNext after the stock market crash in June.
The total market value has been cut by nearly 70%, falling below 1.5 billion. In order to avoid hitting the liquidation warning line of equity pledge, Lingyu Technology had to add additional pledged assets, and mortgaged the soon-to-be-completed Lingyu Technology Building with a value of 530 million yuan to the bank, which was able to stop the downward trend.
Profits have been interrupted and the assets are insolvent. It can be said that Lingyu Technology has been forced to the point of exhaustion.
However, at this time, the future of human technology began to take action.
First, Future Human Technology released an announcement on the official website. Officially responded to public opinion, strongly condemned Ling Zhongtian, the largest shareholder of Lingyu Technology, for his illegal actions against Futureren Technology, and handed a lawyer's letter to Ling Zhongtian.
Futureren Technology is going to take Lingyu Technology to court? Whether the lawsuit is won or not is irrelevant, it is the future of Lingyu Technology. Investors can be said to be completely desperate.
The next day, Lingyu Technology was once again sealed on the daily limit. Four days later, Lingyu Technology closed with a market value of 980 million. In just four days, Lingyu Technology lost a building. In order not to touch the warning line of forced liquidation, Ling Zhongtian had to add more pledged assets to the bank. This time the pressure is on his 33 equity stake.
He had to do this, and if the pledged assets were not added, the company would declare bankruptcy due to forced liquidation. At that time, he will not only lose everything, but also bear no less than 300 million in debt.
Because the Lingyu Science and Technology Building, which cost 870 million yuan and is about to be completed, was built by borrowing money from the bank. The research and development and promotion of new games have eaten up most of the profits, but at present, these investments have been wasted.
The lawyer's letter was like a declaration of war, and it only ignited the prelude to the war.
At the same time that Lingyu Technology set a record for the largest decline in the month. At the same time, Jiang Chen, the major shareholder of Futureren Technology, began to increase his shares in Lingyu Technology in the secondary market, and became the largest shareholder of Lingyu Technology with a shareholding ratio of 37. Because the increase in holdings was completed without raising a placard, Jiang Chen was fined 60w by a regulatory commission for illegal transactions.
However, compared to the 390 million yuan profit obtained when shorting Lingyu Technology, this level of punishment is just a drizzle to Jiang Chen.
In this regard, Lingyu Technology changed hands completely.
......
The Lingyu Science and Technology Building has not yet been renovated, but at the request of the new chairman, a conference room has been specially arranged with a long table and a row of chairs.
Also at the request of the new chairman, a special board meeting was held here.
As for the identity of the chairman. Naturally, it was Jiang Chen.
Every shareholder's face is gloomy... Oh no, to be precise, everyone except the one sitting in the first place should have gloomy faces.
Lean on the boss chair. Jiang Chen glanced at the shareholders of Lingyu Technology present with a smile. Apart from the gray-haired Ling Zhongtian, he was surprised to see an acquaintance.
Aware of Jiang Chen's sight, Zhang Jianfeng smiled at him friendly.
How is he here?
Jiang Chen still had some impressions of Zhang Jianfeng. He once attended the negotiation with Futureren Technology as a representative of 361 Company. Although the final negotiation ended without any results, he was very concerned about this talent. Jiang Chen's evaluation is still very high.
Does the 361 company want to join in?
Jiang Chen muttered to himself in his heart, but his face did not change. He still kept a warm smile and opened his mouth.
"Everyone, I think you should thank me."
Thank you for numbness!
All the shareholders couldn't help but curse in their hearts, but no one dared to say it. As for why-
"Because if it wasn't for my increase in your company's shares, the decline of Lingyu Technology would slow down, and the stocks in your hands would have become a piece of waste paper." Jiang Chen shrugged and smiled.
Ling Zhongtian slowly looked over, the old face could no longer see the high spirits of the past. He once aspired to become the Steve Jobs of the mobile game industry, but at this moment, in those cloudy eyes, there is only a deep sense of burnout.
"People are the knife, I am the fish." The dry lips opened and closed, squeezing out such a hateful sentence.
"If I had known today, why should I be in the first place?" Jiang Chen responded in a dignified manner.
Ling Zhongtian was speechless and stopped talking, just stared at the documents on the desktop, as if he had fallen into dementia.
"Proposal on Asset Restructuring of Lingyu Technology"
"Cough, since our company has been doing poorly recently, as the chairman, I feel like I have to do something." After a pause, Jiang Chen looked at the crowd holding their breath, and a smile crossed his face. However, his next sentence caused the mood of all the shareholders present to drop to the bottom in an instant.
"That's right, we urgently need to restructure our assets... Then first of all, I'm going to sell the building—"
As for who to sell to, is there any need to ask?
The left hand is the right hand, and it is time for Future People Technology to change its headquarters to be commensurate with its status. To be continued.
