Chapter 12 Shocked inside Microsoft, Bill was furious
Timeline goes back to two weeks ago
"Farke, how did he do it?" Johnson scratched his hair with both hands and was so angry that he broke two keyboards.
He has succeeded to a small extent and can already see Cao Mang's hidden codes, but there is no way to decode these files. As long as they are put into the compiler, they will become gibberish.
Theoretically, different compilation methods cannot be run in series, but Cao Mang didn't know how to achieve this.
"Damn it," Johnson closed the computer and cursed again. He took a week off for this matter. If his girlfriend, a nurse, hadn't written a leave request, he would have been fired by now.
At first he was shocked when he got this prototype and tried it. He didn't expect that such a backward place in China could produce such awesome software, which can protect against almost 99% of viruses on the market, and can also speed up the system. There are also those because of the system
The bug blue screen phenomenon disappeared.
Johnson thought that if he could crack it and then sell this thing to the company, not to mention that multi-millionaires could at least become millionaires. After all, this could turn XP into a nearly perfect software.
In the end, he felt that if he handed this thing over to the company, he might be able to get a considerable bonus. As for the promises made to Wanwan Computer Factory, he had long forgotten that they were all private promises anyway.
....
"Director..." Johnson carried the computer back to the company and entered the office of the development director.
Then he told the story about the Kirin Computer Manager. As for the money provided by Wanwan to crack Shenma, he did not mention it. He only said that a friend of his sent it to him.
"Jenny, notify all the team leaders in the development department to come to the conference room." Charles tried briefly and found that he couldn't crack it, so he had to summon people.
"Johnson, you have done a good job, I will apply for a bonus from the company for you."
"Thank you, director." Johnson said with a smile, this wave of bonuses will definitely not be lost.
....
After a while, the group leaders came to the conference room, and Charles asked Johnson to repeat what happened.
"Charles, are you sure this is not a joke?" asked a group leader.
"No kidding, and he fixed most of the bugs," Johnson replied.
"Mom, are you sure this thing comes from that backward country in the east?" Another team leader felt that something was a bit unbelievable.
What are they doing overtime all day and night lately? Aren't they all fixing bugs and loopholes in XP?
Well, it turns out that the development team with thousands of people, and it is also the development team that created the system, is not as strong in development ability as others. If the chairman knew, they would not all be laid off.
The leaders of each group talk to each other like they are in a vegetable market.
"Okay, everyone, be quiet.
What everyone has to do is to crack this damn thing before the chairman knows about it. As long as it can be successfully cracked and applied, I think the board of directors will give everyone a good bonus." Charles looked at the messy scene and immediately shouted.
road.
Everyone began to get excited. With the news of a perfect XP system spreading, the company's stock price is expected to skyrocket. Just like Charles said, the company will definitely give out a huge bonus.
"There is also a matter about which you are not allowed to say anything to the outside world. I will ask the legal department to sign a confidentiality agreement for everyone later."
....
Everyone knows that this confidentiality agreement cannot be escaped. If word gets out, it will definitely cause a sensation and the company's stock price will definitely plummet.
Has something made by Microsoft been complemented by others?
It would be strange if the price didn’t plummet after the news was released.
Fortunately, the Internet was not as developed as it was in later generations, otherwise something like this would have spread all over the world in less than 2 hours.
"Johnson, make a backup of your computer system and upload the files to the development department server." Charles also commandeered a conference room, and each team leader also moved his own computer. They were not allowed to do so until this matter was resolved.
Leave the meeting room.
Johnson transferred the system ghost file to the server, but when he was doing the backup, he found an exception. There seemed to be something wrong with the capacity.
"Director, when doing backup, ghost cannot back up those unknown files." Johnson said at this time.
After each team leader downloaded the file, they found that it could be loaded, but it could not run normally and was prompted that the file was missing.
So 50 people took turns trying to crack it, and tried various methods without success. Three days later, Charles asked his connections to get 50 Kirin computers, which cost him a lot of money. There was no way to keep the matter secret for now, so it was impossible for the company to pay for it.
.
A week later, the conference room was filled with all kinds of unpleasant smells. It stunk like a garbage dump. The team leaders were tortured crazy and tried all methods to solve the problem.
Cao Mang used a later database encryption method, which scumbags like them could easily crack.
Besides, it doesn’t matter if it’s cracked. Do you dare to use it?
If you dare to use it, I will call you.
Cao Mang has applied for patents on the fragmentation processing module and memory management module.
It's okay to provide you with patches to fix bugs, but without fragmentation and memory processing modules, it's just scum.
Without these two things, it won't work quickly, and the system will become stuck after being used for a long time. This is a fundamental problem that cannot be solved.
You must know that the difference between xp and win10 lies in these two modules, and the gap between Android and Apple also lies in these two modules.
After two weeks of torture, everyone finally decided to give up. The enemy's black technology was too powerful.
It's not that it can't be cracked, it just takes a long time and you can always crack it if you keep trying.
One year? Two years? I can’t even imagine it.
Charles decided to report the matter to Bill Gates.
Bill Gates was furious when he found out
This incident was a disgrace to Microsoft, and the development department was fined and deducted half a year's bonus. Johnson's failure to receive his bonus became a public target, and everyone in the development department hated him.
Bill Gates immediately contacted the legal department to see if it could be resolved through legal means, and it had to be resolved before the matter spread here.
After receiving the news, the legal department immediately held a day-and-night meeting with the development department.
First of all, the situation in China is quite special. The other party has not harmed Microsoft's interest. It would not be a good thing if things got serious. There is no law saying that system files cannot be modified, because after the customer purchases it, it becomes a personal asset.
You can only try to scare the other party into handing over the software source code. It is best to deal with it in a low-key manner. If it doesn't work, you can only use the ultimate method.
Throw money at it until the other party is convinced.
But Cao Mang, who is far away in China, doesn't know. If he knew, he would definitely say: "Don't come over. I have hired Zhang San as a defense lawyer."
