Chapter 344 [Snowden's decision and hearing]
On the other hand, Luo Sheng couldn't help but smile when he saw this text message: "This guy is quite alert, too. After all, being in this industry should be cautious."
After a while, I edited a piece of content and sent it to me:
[I have important things to be busy with, so my patience is very limited. Mr. Snowden, ok, I will fund you, including technical, financial and even security. I will help you. I will help you contact the media for a secret interview with you. The Guardian is quite interested in this matter.]
After clicking to send, Luo Sheng, who was lying on his back, stared at the ceiling and took a deep breath, enjoyed silently for a while, then took the laptop over and placed it on his chest.
A message came from Snoden:
【Who are you?】
Luo Sheng glanced at the editor's information quickly sent it:
[It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is your thoughts. Mr. Snoden, being too cautious is sometimes not a good thing. OK. If you decide, I will prepare you 10 million US dollars, and you can even enter your designated account now. Tomorrow or even tonight, you can leave the United States, first go to Singapore, and then transfer to HK, where the Guardian reporter will meet you secretly, you will complete the secret interview and hand over the first-hand information to them, and then you follow my instructions to leave HK and go to Moscow to seek refuge in Zhengzhi. The earth is very large, but you don't have many places to stay. Russia is probably one of the few places you can take refuge.]
After a while, Snoden sent a brief reply.
【Are you Russian?】
Luo Sheng immediately edited a piece of information and sent it to him.
[Don't ask these meaningless questions, okay? This is a waste of time. Now you just need to tell your decision and I'll wait for your reply.]
...
Meanwhile, Snowden, Texas, fell into a huge struggle, which was undoubtedly a thrilling decision, but he finally made the decision.
Edit a message and send it over.
[I want to leave tonight. What should I do? I cannot be easily let go from the United States. Once I leave, I will be followed by agents soon.]
On the other hand, Luo Sheng in the hotel roared excitedly when he saw this message, and then quickly edited the information and sent it over.
[good, you don’t have to worry about these. I will help you avoid the security check systems of Texas airports and the transportation hubs you pass by. You can leave the country with a swagger. All cameras, all monitoring, including satellites will be lost. Bring your phone to ensure smooth communication in 24 hours. After an hour, someone will instruct you what to do. You just need to perform as required.]
Seeing this message, Snoden typed two letters and sent it over.
【ok】
After a while, he found that the strange window had been closed automatically and he had regained all control of his computer.
Sitting in front of the computer for a while, he was thinking, but in the end he didn't think about anything. Since he had decided, he could only bet on his destiny. It would be meaningless to think about it more.
Now I can only trust the other party completely.
Suddenly, Snoden got up to pack up his things, put all the important information and evidence into a backpack.
At the same time, Luo Sheng contacted the Guardian through hacking technology and other means, to be precise, the reporter who exposed the "Prism Plan" in his last life, which is the relatively safest choice.
Sure enough, the other party was as excited as if he was injected with chicken blood, and immediately flew from London to hk with his partner.
After dealing with this problem, Luo Sheng finally no longer had to pay attention to this matter. Next, he authorized Xiaona to "navigate" them with secret interviews and meetings between Snoden and the Guardian reporter.
And I just waited for a few days to watch the show.
...
On the second day, the second day of the first business leaders roundtable, Luo Sheng received a letter from North American authorities asking him to attend the North American Senate and House of Representatives hearing the day after tomorrow to be questioned on Bluestar Technology's data security, user** and monopoly on the issue of Bluestar Technology's grasp of North American Internet users' data security, user** and monopoly.
As early as the first day of the roundtable opening, Luo Sheng had already learned about the news in advance, so he was not surprised at all.
But the outside world is different. Once disclosed, this news became the front-page headlines of major mainstream media across the United States. Its popularity suddenly surpassed the first roundtable and spread to all parts of the world in less than an hour, with mainstream media around the world competing to report.
It was naturally also passed back to China, causing a sensation in the mainland, and even caused an uproar on the Internet.
"Just news from the Global Network just said that this time, the US imperialists suddenly attacked, and Blue Star Technology's improper handling may face a ruling from the Federal Department of Justice. If such a thing happens, they may face a sky-high fine of up to tens of billions of dollars!"
"Damn, a fine of tens of billions of dollars? Isn't this a waste of work for most of the year?"
"The United States is really a hooligan, so shameless."
"Can't afford to play?"
"Why is it fine? Is this a monetization suppression or during the roundtable meeting, the US's approach was really a bit over."
"There is no way, who makes people have big fists..."
"At this point in time, Mr. Luo happened to be in New York, and it must be the conspiracy of the United States."
"Scared, this roundtable was so slap in the face, Americans are so hateful."
...
For a moment, the news became a hot topic on the entire network, and global media focused on this topic on the news.
After all, Bluestar Technology is currently the top ranking of global IT listed technology companies and is also one of the top three in the global listed company list. Bluestar Technology Group's family-owned users are spread across hundreds of countries and regions around the world, with a huge influence.
In a sense, in terms of global influence, Bluestar Technology is no less than Microsoft today.
At the same time, the sensitive market immediately responded to the emergencies. The stock of Blue Star Technology Group fell, and after-hours trading remained at US$240.9 billion that day, evaporating US$17.2 billion in one day, and also dropped from the original third-ranked listed company to fourth place.
If we look at it from the surface, this time will be a major public relations challenge for Bluestar Technology Group, and the market is obviously not optimistic.
Just as major media were competing to report and the industry was rumored to be rumored, Snoden had already arrived in Singapore secretly and successfully turned to HK. The Guardian reporter had already arrived at his destination in advance.
...
Consulate General in New York.
"I don't know if this young man Luo Sheng can handle it. We can't help at this critical moment."
Consul Peng, who was sitting next to him, sighed: "At this time, we can only look at his ability to adapt. We must not come forward, otherwise we will do something bad."
"yes."
"Haha, don't worry too much. This young man is extraordinary. You can see from the meeting the day before yesterday that we should not worry about it. The key is to hold this roundtable."
Luo Sheng has now taken his team from New York to Washington, DC, and has not contacted the local embassy. At this time, the country must not be allowed to come forward because it is necessary to avoid suspicion. Otherwise, the United States will definitely use this as an excuse, and the more they help, the more they help, the more they help.
...
After Luo Sheng and his team arrived in Washington, they rested for a while at the local Hilton Hotel, and went to the Senate in the United States the next morning to attend the hearing.
At around 10 o'clock, a large group of reporters had already gathered at the hearing. As a result of a commercial convoy arrived, the reporters at the scene rushed forward.
When the person in the luxury business car in the middle walked out, the reporters present instantly pressed the shutter of the camera frantically.
Luo Sheng got out of the car, the protagonist of the hearing.
Fox and other major mainstream media broadcasting and television stations in North America all broadcast the entire hearing live, and each of them was extremely excited.
Not only that, streaming BV video websites under Bluestar Technology Group are also broadcasting live, and major up owners can also play, which makes it feel like letting themselves go.
At this critical moment, Bluestar Technology's handling method surprised many people. It actually did not control the spread of public opinion on its own platform and let it ferment.
The current situation is that this hearing was also watched by netizens from all over the world. The reddit forum was also hotly discussed and pushed to the homepage. Google's keyword search index is also among the top.
A series of data shows that this is the hottest topic at present, and the attention has exceeded the business leaders roundtable that ended yesterday.
At this moment, Luo Sheng attended the event today with his iconic IT boss. You should know that he attended the roundtable meeting a few days ago in formal wear. Logically speaking, this situation should be attended in serious formal wear today, but he came to attend the hearing in a T-shirt + jeans.
This is a silent attitude, indicating that he attaches much importance to the roundtable than the hearing that is about to be held at this moment.
It's no big deal.
Faced with the constantly flashing camera shutter, Luo Sheng entered the hearing scene with seriousness, and all the media reporters flocked to the audience, following closely behind but keeping a certain distance.
Chapter completed!
