Chapter 175: Transaction
Wes sat in his chair, staring at the messages on the forum. Nadella was standing behind him, still calm.
It was already the appointed time, and when the message appeared, Wes straightened up and quickly opened the message.
"Make a deal," Nadella said.
Wes didn't dare to neglect, and immediately replied to the clown according to Nadella's words.
"What deal?"
"You tweet, as I mean, send a sentence and I'll give you a million dollars." Nadella stared at the computer screen, his voice unwavering.
"What?"
"Thank you for the support of Army Ant Company."
As soon as his words came out, Wes, who was sitting in the chair, shook his fingers. The boss wants to tie the clown organization and the army ant company together, and implement the connection between the army ant company and the clown organization.
But after thinking about it, Wes's hand is not slow, according to Nadella's words, send it to the clown.
After the message was sent, the atmosphere was quiet, and the two of them were waiting for the clown's reply. Two minutes passed without any movement.
Wes couldn't help but glanced at Nadella, and seeing that Nadella didn't move, he didn't say much, just waited quietly.
Three minutes later, the news came again.
"Ten million."
Seeing this news, Wes couldn't help taking a breath, this clown is losing money, right? In a word, dare to say such a price.
"Up to three million, or the transaction will be cancelled."
When Weiss passed this sentence, the scene was quiet again. Two minutes later, the message came again: "Deal."
"How can I confirm your identity is real?" Nadella said.
"Two minutes later, next destination: Tokyo. Get your bitcoin ready, give money first, send later."
After the clown finished speaking, the computer screen was silent again, but this time, the protagonist would not appear again.
Nadella walked back to the sofa, brooding.
After a while,
Nadella turned on his phone, and sure enough, the Joker posted a new tweet.
"London, New York, within two days, if you don't pay the ransom, I will launch an indiscriminate attack on both countries. Next stop: Tokyo, please prepare a ransom, $200 million."
Nadella put down the phone, and it was determined that the other party was the clown, and the transaction is no problem now.
"Go buy bitcoin now and contact him to trade." Nadella looked at Wes Ropeway.
"Okay." Wes nodded immediately.
The news of the clown made waves again.
As soon as the news came out, government agencies in Tokyo and the Tokyo stock market were immediately attacked by the clown virus. Before the clown virus spread, personnel from major institutions immediately disconnected the network cables to minimize losses.
Can not access the Internet, but the main computer is not infected with viruses, files are not lost, it can still work normally.
Five minutes after the news of the virus came out, various news reports spread on the Internet, and many people were still attacking Army Ant.
Their biggest suspicion is that the Chinese character programming language was created by the Army Ant Company. In addition, the previous virus program fell into the hands of the Army Ant Company, and Huaxia was not attacked. Anyone has reason to believe that this was done by the Army Ant Company. .
It's just the army ant company, except for a painless official response, there is no other action.
Those who want to attack the army ant company cannot catch the fulcrum.
Army Ant Company is not a listed company, and it is impossible to make a fuss about its stock price. Moreover, the army ant company is within China, and foreign capital is helpless. There is no company in China that is willing to take the initiative to provoke this strong army ant.
The criticism was loud, but the Army Ant Company suffered little loss. The virus hit Tokyo, and the termite system, which claims to be able to resist the clown virus, became popular again.
CIA, Office of the Science and Technology Division.
This is one of the four major departments of the CIA, and each technician is an expert or senior person in a certain technical field.
Morrison, a computer whiz, was recruited here to gather intelligence for the CIA. After the clown virus broke out, his mission was to find the clown organization.
Morrison's expression was solemn at this time, and his fingers were tapping on the keyboard. Next to him, there are many other technicians, also nervously tracking the Joker's address.
The Joker group tweeted and was the only target they could track down.
Not long after, Morrison stopped and looked at the map that popped up on the computer, his face darkened. More than a hundred addresses are distributed in every corner of the world. Among these addresses, only one address is correct.
One by one, they confirmed that they did not have such personnel at all.
"How is it?" asked a strong and dignified middle-aged man behind him. He is Pompeo, the director of the CIA.
"Only one of these addresses is correct," Morrison said. "They need to be ruled out."
"Notify the operations department and let them go to these places to confirm the address information." Pompey's face was a little gloomy. The addresses are scattered in all corners of the world, which is very difficult, but they must be confirmed one by one, even if the agents are exposed. Do.
Those who don't catch the clown organization will only lose more.
Inside a villa in Seattle.
Seeing that the bitcoin transaction was successful, Wes stopped and looked at Nadella. This is the biggest bitcoin he has ever bought.
This cryptocurrency, theoretically worthless, is essentially a pile of data. But the identification group is large, so that it has value, just like diamond jewelry consumption, which is essentially a stone, but the identification group is huge, so that jewelry has value.
All kinds of hype, coupled with more and more people entering the bitcoin trading market, have caused the price of bitcoin to climb steadily, reaching the current level of nearly 20,000 US dollars a piece.
Weiss is a master in the network world. He knows that Bitcoin is often used between hackers or some underground transactions, unless there are special needs, otherwise he will not buy Bitcoin.
"Contact him," Nadella said.
Wes nodded and immediately sent a message to the other party. Before long, the clown sent an account.
"Send it to him."
To the average person, three million dollars is a lot, but to them it's nothing.
Let the army ant company continue to use the clown virus to promote the termite system and enter the corporate office field, their loss is thousands of times more than this amount of money.
As for the clown's remorse, he thought about it. He can only bet that the clown will execute according to the agreement. Now that the clown virus is raging, the army ant company is in trouble and can buy them the most time.
"Pleasant to work with."
"Ask him if he can sell us virus programs and antivirus software for 20 million dollars." Nadella hurriedly said when he saw the Clown's reply.
"Not interested in."
After three simple words, no matter how much Weiss sent a message, there was still no reply. Nadella sullen, took out his phone, and followed Joker's Twitter.
A minute and a second passed, and as time passed, Nadella's calm face changed a little. The clown hasn't tweeted yet, I'm afraid the three million is lost in the water.
Just when he was already disappointed and was about to put away his mobile phone and leave the villa, a push message shocked him.
