The Goddess Shines on America

As early as the morning news came out, as the current CEO of IBM, Aker immediately realized that the company had a big deal!

And it is an unprecedented event!

"Explain to me right away, how did this news come up!?"

"Who gave you the power to invade the Nasdaq exchange!?"

"Asshole stuff, the Internet field is not IBM's world at all, you actually did it!? That Alice King became the second largest shareholder of Microsoft by relying on technology stocks, but also the founder and patent holder of the industry leader in Cisco Systems People, you actually broke ground on her head!?"

"Aker, call me all the relevant personnel!"

The shareholders meeting was held at nine o'clock. From the very beginning, the directors kept accusing Aker. Although the time is coming soon, there is no need to look at call auctions at all. No one will doubt that today's IBM stock price will fall to an unprecedented low.

And if they don't quickly solve the problem, it's possible that the entire Blue Giant will fail in the next ten years!

"I did not authorize the technical department or anyone from any department to make this intrusion."

In the face of the angry directors, a group of executives, led by CEO Aker, also participated in the meeting. At this time, it was the moment for Aker to explain to the board.

"⑤￡长⑤￡风⑤￡文⑤￡learning, w+ww.cfw≤x.ne＠t The company did purchase 20 old Cisco routers in December last year. It’s just the company’s regular behavior of optimizing the LAN. Of course, I can’t deny the personal behavior of ordinary employees. This point will be explained by the Minister of Technology, Almin.”

Aker sat down and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

A member of the board of directors looked coldly at the bottom of the conference table: "Then Almin, you can explain it."

Almin stood up nervously.

In front of him, the then chairman was pursing his lips tightly, and no one could see any mood on his face. The quartz clock behind him was walking ticking. It was more than half past nine, but no one, no one dared to watch the current stock market fluctuations.

“I swear by my deceased grandfather, grandmother, grandfather, and grandmother that I personally never did the above behavior, let alone authorized any employee to do so.”

He said grimly: "After the meeting, I will immediately investigate the members of the technical department. At the same time, if the incident is really caused by the personal behavior of the members of the technical department, I will definitely take the blame and resign."

Aker's face was sullen and he didn't speak.

If it is really just the personal behavior of the technical staff, at least the company will be less responsible, but as long as he is slightly careless, he should also resign as the CEO. After all, the public will not focus on ordinary executives of the company. It is IBM who does the job, and of course his CEO must come forward.

So next, it's time to shake the sky.

Throughout the morning, the entire company headquarters was in panic, and no one was in the mood to work normally. What's more, after such a major incident, other companies that are doing business with IBM are too late to withdraw orders and clarify the relationship. Except for the sales department, the people in the sales department have to keep calling each other to comfort each other, even if the people in other departments want to work. , I really don't have much work to speak of.

For most people, what they can do this morning is to keep talking about the articles of the Wall Street Journal and watch the stock price fall with fear.

And the next moment after the shareholders meeting and the executive accountability meeting are over, it's time for these people to come to the company's computer room collectively to conduct on-site inspections.

"It's these routers, Mr. O'Dell."

An employee of the technical department said in a low voice, introducing the chairman and the accompanying shareholders, his forehead was covered with cold sweat, just as a group of directors may have a heart attack at any time.

At this moment, the Cisco routers purchased in batches have long been taken down and are placed on a desk. Each white box is printed with Cisco's LOGO, that is, the short-line pattern reborn from the Golden Gate Bridge into the form of network radio waves. What was originally very artistic, in the eyes of everyone, it is extremely dazzling.

"Have you checked?"

O'Dell carried his back and his face was pale: "According to the Wall Street Journal, they found the relevant IP address from the router of the Nasdaq exchange and found the relevant evidence from the computer, and then they locked it on us."

"Check... work is in progress."

The employee’s forehead was oozing with cold sweat: “I’m showing you ten of them, and the other ten are being inspected by our technical department...”

O'Dell and the shareholders behind him are all expressionless: "Then continue, we are here to wait."

Unknowingly, it was past noon, but all relevant personnel had no plans to eat. Fortunately, IBM's technology department is the core department. The most indispensable thing is space. Even if all the shareholders and executives of the company are together, it is more than enough. Of course, they will not stay in the technical department all the time. There are too many things to be busy.

However, all the technical staff present here have suffered.

It will take a while to inspect the router, and the process of inspecting employees cannot be slowed down. All members of the technical department are accompanied by a security guard and are completely isolated in their individual positions. All directors and executives of the company sit in the conference room for a few hours, and begin to question everyone continuously.

"You need to know what the company is facing now."

When an intern who had just joined the company for just a month was standing pitifully in the open space, Chairman O'Dell said blankly: "Because of this time, as of today's noon, IBM's stock price has fallen. 18%, do you know what 18% is?"

"This...this...Mr. Odell, I really don't know anything..."

"This act is tantamount to offending IBM's listed companies across the country. Invaded stock exchanges and maliciously modified data, creating the first cybercrime in the history of computer development. This'honor' is not an ordinary honor. Your name is Dong. Don’t you think, don’t worry, if you admit that this is just your own personal behavior, even if you go to jail, we will send a generous compensation to your family..."

O'Dell is not a fool. Of course, he knows that his appointed CEO will not do such stupid things. And to put it bluntly, using special technology to invade relevant institutions for private profit, if it hadn't happened, O'Dell swears, no one can even come up with this idea!

The company must have been framed, it must have been.

The check result of the router has come out, and indeed the relevant data packet information was found in the cache.

But no one believes that it will be true.

It must be companies in the industry that will frame IBM, or perhaps it is Microsoft and Cisco teaming up to frame it. All people in the industry, all programmers, all experts, who doesn't know what kind of skills everyone has?

The information in these twenty routers is the thing that Cisco's technical department deliberately left after invading IBM first!

In other words, Cisco and Microsoft jointly invaded the Nasdaq exchange, and then blamed IBM!

Odell can come up with such a process. After all, it is far away. The Cisco system is the pioneer of the Internet hardware industry and the well-deserved leader. The second-ranked Lucent Technology is much worse than it. Microsoft is not a fuel-efficient lamp. With a big brother like Cisco taking the lead, and then a bunch of Microsoft programmers who have been focusing on the software field for ten years, it is not like IBM?

That must be the case!

but……

"We have no evidence."

At the conference table in the afternoon, when CEO Aker waved the tabloid fiercely and said that he was going to issue a denial statement, O'Dell sighed deeply.

"It works logically, but this is not a detective novel. Moreover, even if it is a detective novel, evidence must be presented at the end. Unless we can show evidence of Cisco and Microsoft’s intrusion, otherwise the other party’s lawyer can take us to Playing to death."

"People in the technical department work overtime and will definitely solve this problem!"

As the direct person in charge, Almin strongly expressed his determination to the board of directors: "After all, Cisco is only a two-year-old company, and their background is absolutely incomparable with ours. One week, at most one week, we absolutely I can find the clues of their invasion!"

"hope so."

O'Dell sighed, because just five minutes ago, the secretary had just walked through the meeting and informed him of a serious problem.

"I just learned that the company's stock price has fallen by 20%. Although it is now approaching the close, as long as we do not solve this problem, IBM will not be able to get out of the trough. I am already waiting for a joint subpoena from Nasdaq and Microsoft. Now, Aker, invite the best lawyer we can call, and we must get rid of them!"

Aker took his orders with a heavy heart.

At the same time, the closing time has really arrived.

The mere 20% decline actually exceeded the expectations of many financial analysts. After all, the scandal exposed by IBM this time was really amazing. As an old computer company, privately invaded the stock exchange and maliciously affected the listing of new stocks. This kind of thing is enough to easily destroy any ordinary company!

"The Hundred-legged Worm is dead but not stiff, and it can make its stock price plummet by 20% in a day, which is considered acceptable."

The perspective returned to Los Angeles. After returning from Washington State, Alice bought enough relevant newspapers for the first time, and then read them one by one in the living room.

"The tens of billions of dollars just evaporated, the stock market..."

James is also reading various financial newspapers ~www.readwn.com~ The news on this day is heavy, enough to let the media people have to worry about the subject for many days: "Speaking of, Alice, what do you think of Apple? Its current stock price is still half-dead, do you want to sell more?"

"Apple? Oh... don't move it for now."

Alice glanced at the calendar: "Anyway, we didn't buy much at that time, and we didn't lose much. It will continue to fall, and we will have to buy it again when it rebounds."

"Are you really sure that Apple's stock price will go up?"

James frowned: "Jobs was kicked out of the company. Without him, Apple wouldn't be very competitive at all."

"So, those idiots must invite him back."

Alice said indifferently, "Compared to this, Dad, I will apply for graduation after I return to school tomorrow. Please help me prepare the materials first."

After thinking about how much trouble his daughter has to deal with next, James laughed. (To be continued.)
