Becoming the richest man starts with making complaints

The call in the early hours of the morning not only showed that the person was generous, but also showed that the matter was urgent.

The matter is definitely not a trivial matter. Cao Shen is also a CEO of a large company, so if you want to lead general business or routine work, you won't go to him directly.

Therefore, Cao Shen on the other end of the phone was prepared.

After listening to what the other party said, Cao Shen thanked him repeatedly.

After hanging up the phone, I took a long breath.

I was targeted.

To be precise, he was targeted by the country.

This time it was not just the department in charge that was targeting Cao Shen last time, but several departments together.

Scientific and technological information, news, public opinion, finance...

What's more important is that this time someone is more dangerous than the key department.

An indescribable department in charge of "security".

Generally speaking, large companies will have public relations departments within them, including a group dedicated to government relations.

Cao Shen's company will obviously have such a department after it grows bigger. However, of course, this level of attention now cannot be solved by the people below.

Just as he was about to put the phone in his pocket, the phone rang again. This time it was Zhang Fei, an old friend.

Zhang Fei is now the leader of the department directly under Cao Shen, so it was probably inevitable that he would call so late.

Cao Shen answered the phone, and sure enough, Zhang Fei had also received the news and asked Cao Shen to prepare for it.

Although it is the same thing, the positions and concerns of each department are different.

Everyone said their own things, Cao Shen couldn't put together the whole picture and had a headache.

At this moment, the phone rang again.

Cao Shen took a look and saw that it was an encrypted phone call!

Xiao Gang!

He picked up decisively: "Boss Xiao!"

Yes, at this time, the one who has the ability to piece together complete information is Boss Xiao!

There was some noise on the other end of the phone, and Xiao Gang was a little depressed when he spoke:

"I'm on the plane coming back from the United States. You get ready and I'll take you there tomorrow.

I have already understood the matter first and coordinated it.

Each department has different interests in you now. I have evaluated their needs and they should be within the range that you can accept.

However, I suggest that you also mention some conditions that are beneficial to the company's development and technological progress.

Although your proposal may not be approved, it is a strategy. "

Of course Cao Shen understood Xiao Gang's strategy. If Cao Shen met the other party's request but did not mention conditions, it would be considered "according to the organization's arrangements."

If the conditions are set, the speed and the overall rhythm are well grasped, it will naturally be a good thing if the other party agrees. If there is no promise, then it is just a favor.

This favor has weight!

Cao Shen responded. Of course Xiao Gang knew that with Cao Shen's intelligence, he would be able to figure it out naturally, so he continued:

"The more troublesome thing is that the department responsible for security, your search engine, YouXin, image recognition, these technologies involve a large amount of data, and they believe that the technology itself is also uncontrollable.

So you should understand what their concerns are.

Also, some of your technologies are open source, which will also become the focus of this interview. "Xiao Gang's tone was also very helpless. It can be imagined that he must have spent a lot of effort to mediate.

Cao Shen understood.

First of all, he does have a lot of data in his hands. Search engines run all over the Internet, Youxin data is close to individuals, and Tongfubao also has payment data.

Frankly speaking, the higher-ups definitely want this data.

Before these tools existed, the higher-ups didn’t know what everyone was doing. The Internet has made everything more convenient and more transparent for everyone.

Then, when Cao Shen's technology, recognition, search engine, NLP, etc. are developed to the extreme, a large number of applications will be born.

Cao Shen's search engine is just the tip of the iceberg.

The development direction of these technologies, or to be precise, the application direction must be controllable.

Technology ownership must be controllable.

To put it more bluntly, Cao Shen's behavior must be controllable.

Therefore, Xiao just said that the trouble is this "security" department.

Finally reaching this point, Cao Shen sighed silently.

This was something he expected, and that was why he made friends with key departments, Zhang Fei, and relied on Boss Xiao.

Cao Shen knew that if he was engaged in technology, whatever he wanted to do would come to this step sooner or later.

But when things happen, I still have some emotions.

After all, in his previous life, he had been "controllable" for the rest of his life.

Cao Shen continued to discuss countermeasures with Xiao Gang on the phone for a long time, mainly because Xiao Gang was saying that Cao Shen was listening.

This time, Xiao Gang seemed to be a little different. He briefly talked about things that Cao Shen found sensitive in the past.

The internal situation, structure, respective strategies, goals, relationships, etc.

Let Cao Shen finally have a general understanding of the real core senior management of Dongguo.

Although Cao Shen is still a little confused, why did Xiao Gang reveal so much at this time?

The voice sounded very tired. Could it be a catharsis of physical and mental exhaustion?

No, Boss Xiao doesn’t look like this kind of person...

After returning home with the system, Mr. Cao sat alone in the room again and carefully reviewed the situations he might encounter after dawn.

Beiji is now in ambush, and the weather is extremely hot.

It rained at noon, but it didn't rain thoroughly. The steaming heat on the ground was wrapped in humidity and made people feel stuffy.

Before going out today, Cao Shen read today's important news as he did every day.

This is his "vigilance" to the world, always paying attention to what is happening. Mastering information is an indispensable "security" for Cao Shen.

Unless he is particularly busy, this is his daily routine.

The most eye-catching news for Cao Shen today is that "Neumann" was sentenced to life imprisonment for treason and will be taken to Lanlicia Prison to spend the rest of his life.

Neumann did not appeal.

Because this trial involves major U.S. secrets, it is not a public trial.

According to the news, "Neumann" himself did not even hire a lawyer, but applied for "self-defense."

too fast!

Only ten days had passed since "Neumann" was extradited to the United States from Odia, and he was already sentenced!

This shows how eager the US government is to deal with "Neumann".

"Neumann" is a legendary figure and a person who Cao Shen is very interested in in this world.

He is the founder of this world's version of "WikiLeaks", but it's not called WikiLeaks here, it's called "Login Secrets."

In addition, "Neumann" also exposed the United States' secrets about public surveillance and exposed the high-level "email scandal". He can be said to be the "Snowden" of this world.

In addition, it is rumored that he is also the proposer of the "dark web" point-to-point encrypted routing technology and the founder of "Hash Coin".

When "Neumann" was captured in Odia, everyone expressed serious doubts about his true identity.

I think this is because the U.S. government simply couldn't catch the real person and just took advantage of it. And all the "crimes" were attributed to this person.

It can be said that almost no one in the public believes that the real "Neumann" has been arrested.

It is even believed that "Neumann" is not a person, but an organization.

There are indeed many doubts about this matter. For example, "Neumann" has never shown his face after his arrest. Even when he was extradited to the United States a few days ago and was widely reported by the media, he was covered in black cloth from head to toe.

This even aroused ridicule from the crowd, who believed that the United States was directing and acting on its own.

What is somewhat puzzling is that Russia originally regarded "Neumann" as a "secret" and had already "asylumed" him and arranged citizenship for him. I don't know how the two major powers negotiated. In the end, "Neumann" was extradited back to the United States.

This was a major case, and many "international human rights" lawyers who wanted to gain fame volunteered to represent the case for free.

But "Neumann" didn't invite anyone. Maybe he knew that the US government was very determined to capture him, and it would be of little use if he invited him.

Lanlicia Prison is a place where super serious criminals and special criminals are imprisoned in the United States. It can be said to be the most stringent security prison in the United States.

Cao Shen shook his head. It was just a report. Who knows where such "talents" would be taken.

Technically speaking, "Neumann" is undoubtedly the top player.

Moreover, being able to design something like a "computing power coin" requires not only technical depth and breadth, but also requires a lot of knowledge in economics, finance, and sociology.

Frankly speaking, if he had never seen "Bitcoin", Cao Shen would not be able to figure out such a product.

Research on Bitcoin has undoubtedly brought Cao Shen major breakthroughs in technology and products.

For Cao Shen, it is the door to the new world.

Even if the "computing power coin" is not made by "Neumann", just because he can break through the various layers of internal security in the United States and obtain various information, this guy's information security offensive and defensive level is second to none.

Pity……

The driver opened the back seat door and Cao Shen got in.

The last time I saw Boss Xiao was a year ago.

After not seeing each other for a year, Boss Xiao’s hair has turned a lot grayer.

His head was resting on the headrest of the seat, his eyes closed to relax.

Seeing Cao Shen come in, he raised his eyelids and smiled:

"I'm here, I'm quite energetic and have changed a lot."

As he spoke, he sat up straight, stretched out his hand and patted Cao Shen on the back:

"Young man, you are very impressive!"

Xiao Gang's original aura was extremely powerful and compelling, but this time, Cao Shen actually felt more "kind".

Or to be more precise, Xiao Gang originally had a kind of energy in his body, but at this moment, this support seems to have leaked a lot.

It was as if the top pillar supporting the tent had been cut off and all the curtains were loose.

I don't know if it was because of the increase in gray hair on his head and the tiredness on his face. At this time, Cao Shen felt more that the other person was not Boss Xiao, but an elder, gentle and warm.

Well, I can't say elders. Although Cao Shen is only in his early twenties, Cao Shi is several years older.

So, like big brother!

"Not bad!" Cao Shen also grinned: "Thanks to Boss Xiao for the help."

Xiao Gang waved his hand slowly: "Yes, as long as it's useful."

The car kept driving west, and after exiting the Fifth Ring Road, it entered an inconspicuous housing area.

The buildings are all two- and three-story buildings. They look old and have an extremely ordinary appearance.

However, the security checks at all levels were not covered. Even though Boss Xiao had a special pass order, he still went through the inspection as a routine.

Presumably, this place is impossible to enter without a pass order.

Cao Shen turned on his phone and saw that on the navigation software, it was just a housing area, and it only said Buildings 102 and 103 of Guangming Community.

And when I asked the system to open the high-precision map, I saw the exact label.

Including the name and details of each floor of each office building and what each room is used for.

After getting off the bus, Cao Shen and Xiao Gang were led into a two-story building and sat in the conference room on the first floor.

Drinking tea, no one has arrived yet.

After half an hour, people finally came in one after another, followed by assistants carrying teacups. They were really old-fashioned teacups with handles and lids.

A spacious conference room, eventually seating twenty-six people.

This time, no one introduced themselves.

Fortunately, Cao Shen has a system with built-in identification and search, allowing people to match the information mentioned by Xiao Gang one by one.

From this point of view, today almost all key departments related to the national economy and people's livelihood, economic development, finance, national security, science and technology, information, etc. have been completed.

Cao Shen also lamented that this time, the lineup was really big.

The ostensible host of this meeting was still the old man Cao Shen met last time. After all, from an industry perspective, he was Cao Shen's direct leader.

He was the only one at the scene who put a smile on Cao Shen's face, and nodded to Cao Shen as a greeting when he sat down.

On the other hand, everyone's attitude when they saw Xiao Gang was different from when they saw Cao Shen. They would all say hello to Xiao Gang, and some would even exchange a few words.

This made Cao Shen even more certain that Xiao Gang was an insider, and that his supervisor had a higher ranking than those present here.

Xiao Gang patted Cao Shen's hand to indicate that he was relieved.

Cao Shen nodded in response.

The old man from last time glanced around the conference room, as if to confirm that everyone had arrived, and slowly said to Cao Shen:

"This time, the main reason for inviting Mr. Cao here is to learn more about your products and technologies, especially the future development direction. In addition, we need to discuss some key things to see if we can cooperate in development."

This is an implicit statement. Cao Shen nodded:

“Thanks to the country for attaching great importance to our enterprises, especially for new technologies.

In fact, I have always wanted to report to the leaders, but recently I have been preparing new products. Time is really tight. Moreover, the new products are still in the development process and have not yet been completed. I am embarrassed to report to you a semi-finished product. "

The old man sat up straight after hearing this:

"New product? Isn't it the search engine? Or have you made something new again!"

Cao Shen received: "The search engine has already been released. Although it will continue to be developed and maintained in the future, it is already a mature product.

This is still in the stage of technical research and preliminary verification. "

The old man's eyes lit up, this kid!

It’s fast enough to develop technology!

Wave after wave, they are really rare talents!

Just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted by a middle-aged man with a dark face and tattooed tattoos:

"Yu Bu! Don't pay attention to the new ones, let's talk about the ones that have already come out.

So many of us are here just to sort out the current problems. "

Old Yu nodded and raised his hand to him: "Okay, you ask! You ask!"
