Chapter 389: Robinham, the Internet

On April 15th, a "Friends of the Abyss" hacker group suddenly appeared on the Internet that they had never heard of before. They openly announced that because they realized that many countries were secretly monitoring private information on the Internet, in order to restore freedom of cyberspace and protect individuals, they decided to launch a "jihad" against public facilities controlled by these "corrupt governments", especially websites targeting multinational institutions, and then listed a long list, and the Bank for International Settlements was among them.

Because of the openness of the Internet, similar organizations or individuals make anarchist remarks almost every day. At first, everyone thought that this was just a group of madmen making a fuss, but unexpectedly, not long after the announcement was released, the International Aircraft Federation, many Western government portals, several major multinational telecommunications companies and other websites were successively captured by more than a dozen computer viruses led by the "Pandora" virus, and the antivirus software almost didn't work, and it was obviously cut into the back door of the system and a constant outbreak came. Only then did governments realize that things were not good, and flights were delayed, government websites could not log in or were tampered with, phone and email could not be used normally, and other troubles followed one after another.

There are countless multinational institutions affected, but the banking system of the International Settlements system covered by these cyber attacks suffered the most heavy losses. The international settlement network they controlled with the banks of various countries was invaded, and the entire system fell into chaos. Suddenly, huge sums of money on the bank accounts of many countries were looted. Through the cyberspace, they were transferred to a place thousands of miles away where the address could not be found.

The news came out of chaos in the world, and even major intelligence agencies in the world were alarmed. It was obvious that someone launched a war on the Internet, causing chaos in the international financial system! For a moment, computer experts from all over the world were investigating the investigation into the matter. The matter was quickly understood. It was indeed the "Friends of the Abyss" organization that distributed computer viruses on the Internet and guided hackers around the world to break through major websites. The repair of the Bank for International Settlements system also pointed out that most of the money was dispersed into other accounts, and a small number were transferred to the accounts of international charitable organizations. Not many people took the opportunity to withdraw cash. On the surface, it seemed that it was just a group of teenage hackers who liked to challenge authority, which finally made countries breathe a sigh of relief.

Under the joint suppression of various countries, this large-scale hacker attack, known as the "April Riot" in the Internet, was finally calmed down in early May. Although the losses were not large, as a new type of crime, these hackers still violated the law. Police and intelligence agencies of various countries continued to investigate these bold hackers all over the world. However, after this battle, hacker organizations represented by "Friends of the Abyss" on the Internet have become "network Robin Hoods" and have become idols worshipped by many European and American online teenagers.

But almost no one knows that this vigorous online farce covers up an unprecedented bank robbery! Although the Internet system of the Bank for International Settlements was quickly repaired, in the short chaos, the overseas accounts hidden in duty-free paradises around the world were stolen. Yang Xing planned the "shark hunting" operation was a great success. Those who thought they had the tricks and hid the proceeds of years of smuggling overseas, believing that the smuggling group in China had no way to track their smuggling groups were so anxious that they were about to smoke.

The government led by Cheng Canghai, who just came to power last year, decisively launched the military's business and smuggling problems that had not been resolved for many years, opening the curtain for the national special campaign against smuggling operations. The domestic senior management unified their opinions and was not ruthless in combating smuggling operations. At the beginning of the year, anti-smuggling police were formed to arrest "big tigers". In this case, many smuggling groups and backers were determined to retreat. However, Yang Xing's fuss in Nanjing last year also made the domestic interest groups understand that the superiors did not want to kill them, leaving a glimmer of life for them. Therefore, in the tacitly arranged by Yang Xing, the smuggling groups obediently handed over most of the smuggling proceeds back to the country, and the government also kept their promises and did not blame them.

However, there are always people who are lucky enough to think that they still leave a lot of "life-saving money" overseas. The central government also knows a little about this, so they specially opened a special account on the Bank of China account in Hong Kong, just like the later anti-corruption red envelope account. It means that as long as they transfer overseas funds into their accounts in time, they will not investigate the origin of the money. However, smugglers mistakenly regard the central government's magnanimity as weakness, and the transactions on these accounts opened under their names almost stopped and became "dead accounts".

The central government was finally impatient with their slander. After Yang Xing received the acquiescence of the central government, he launched a "shark hunting" operation, first getting the distribution map of overseas funds of the smuggling group, and then dispatched people to sneak into the Basel headquarters of the Bank of International Settlements to do their tricks. Finally, the world recruited top hackers and created a powerful online weapon such as the "Gate of the Abyss". The Niu Dao's small test successfully disrupted the settlement system of the Bank of International Settlements.

On May 1st, the bank manager who managed special accounts in Hong Kong was almost scared by the billions of dollars flocking to the accounts from all over the world because the money was transferred without anonymity and no reason to remit money. They immediately remembered that it was mis-issued because of the chaos in the Bank of International Settlements system, but then they became even more confused. After asking the headquarters of the Bank of China, they received instructions that they would not need to worry about the money or rush to return it. According to regulations, as long as someone can issue a certificate of source of funds, can they personally bring their identity certificates to Hong Kong to collect it?

The result is incredible that nearly 10 billion US dollars of funds were deposited one after another. However, after waiting for a year, the Bank of China in Hong Kong did not see anyone collecting the huge amount. Finally, the Bank of China received instructions to process the documents of these funds silently and silently close the account. Until the end, no one received the ten billion US dollars and no one offered any opinions, it turned out to be a fortune from heaven.

Of course, no one will give the Chinese government such a big gift. This is completely the result of the "shark hunting" operation. Yang Xing and his team took advantage of the chaos in the International Settlement Bank system to collect all the overseas accounts of the smuggling group in one place, and all the money was transferred to the Hong Kong Bank of China account. On the surface, no matter whether the overseas accounts are real or pseudonyms, Bank of China Hong Kong has corresponding accounts. In theory, this is just transferring from one account to another. As long as you can prove that the money is yours, can you withdraw it? The targets of various countries are naturally ignoring the flow of this money.

However, the smuggling group was full of bitterness. They had to secretly hide their money overseas against the instructions of the central government. Now they had to take their identity certificate to show up to withdraw money, for fear that the central government would not know how much money they had hidden? People with a brain knew that the money was entered into the treasury and would never come back. The leaders of this new government were selfless. Ji Desheng, the son of the old leader of the country, was arrested. Who dared to commit crimes against the wind? They wisely chose the latter between revealing that they were arrested or losing money to avoid disasters. The smuggling group considered themselves unlucky and found that the central government was skillful and actually joined forces with the "Cyber ​​Robin Hood" to rectify them. They did not dare to deal with the central government, so they could only swear to find out the mastermind behind the "Cyber ​​Robin Hood" and make him die.

However, Yang Xing, the planner of this Internet chaos, didn't care about the barking of these failed rabies. When the "Gate of the Abyss" broke out on the Internet, he continued to continue his business trip in Europe in the second half of his business trip. On the surface, he had nothing to do with this chaos. After he reached an agreement with STMicroelectronics (st), the delegation went to France to visit Renault Automobile, Dassault Aircraft and other well-known French companies. Star Manufacturing signed many cooperation agreements with them. Now he has just come to the Philips headquarters in the Netherlands for negotiations. He has traveled around Europe with many beauties. Of course, time flies and is happy, but after all, he is the leader of the business trip. He can't hand over all the work to his subordinates, so that the new secretaries think that they don't love the country and love beauty, and they are purely traveling to Europe. Moreover, the negotiations with Philips this time are of great importance and must be decided by him.

For example, this time, when negotiating with Philips to introduce LED lighting technology and discuss the acquisition of DVD core technology and join the DVD alliance, his boss needed to finally make the final decision that the domestic VCD player is in full swing. Although he blocked Aido VCD to win the CCTV bet, various VCD brands from all over the country emerged overnight like mushrooms after a rain, fighting to the death to fight for market share.

Brands such as Xinke, Wanlida, and Bubugao have gradually gained market advantages. Many Guangdong electronic manufacturers acquired by Nebula Electronics have also received a lot of VCD production business before. For a while, VCD, a unique Chinese video playback standard, became a big hit in China, and has beaten the videotape manufacturers that have not been introduced to China for a long time. The entire VCD industry is in a state of extreme excitement, and many people have also shouted the slogan of making the first consumer electronic product that can challenge international standards.

Many of Yang Xing's subordinates were bewitched by the abnormal prosperity of the VCD market and the temptation of high profits. They also suggested to him that they launched the VCD production line on a large scale. With the strength of Nebula Electronics in China, it should be no problem to take the lead. However, just like Yang Xing's idea of ​​acquiring several electronic companies in Guangdong, Qian Gang's arbitrary decision and chopping off the image tube production line in the acquired TV companies such as Konka and others was puzzled by everyone, Yang Xing also directly rejected the proposal to launch the VCD.

Given the advantages of rebirth, Yang Xing knew that reality was cruel. Among the popular consumer electronic products in the future, VCD, imaging tube and television will be eliminated in a few years. Yang Xing naturally would not allow them to occupy their valuable funds and resources for repeated construction. The imaging tube TV and monitor will definitely be replaced by flat panel monitors such as LCD and plasma. For this reason, he planned to negotiate with Hitachi to introduce an LCD production line early, and he spared no expense to buy Hitachi's IPS hard screen LCD technology. In this case, VCD, as an excessive DVD product, has been getting around for a few days, but he cannot tell outsiders about this kind of thing, and he can only decide on his own based on his prestige.
