Chapter 3

As the highest intelligence agency in the United States, every once in a while, the FBI will encounter hacking incidents, but it's the first time that people have been riding on their heads to shit like today.

Anger spread throughout the Department.

Everyone is rubbing their hands to find the hateful thief.

……

Queens basement.

Luke took out $400 and put it on his desk,

"buy proper clothes and come to showme at 8:00 tomorrow morning. Don't be late."

Zacks was staring at the computer screen in amazement. When the door closed, he woke up and ran to the computer Luke used to check the data record.

Thousands of lines of source code constitute a framework that has never been seen before. The more you look at it, the more startled you are. When you reach the last few lines, the screen suddenly darkens and the white sickle pattern pops up.

"Death

Zacks was shocked.

The pattern flashed away, the data was cleared, and the computer entered the blue screen.

"It's over!"

Zacs sat down in his chair, his hair in his hands, very upset.

Death is a legend in the hacker world. It was born ten years ago and challenged the whole world with its own efforts. It put ducks on the British official website, painted women on the French official website, painted buttocks on the Brazilian official website, and left feces on the Italian official website At that time, there was a lot of noise. Hackers from all over the world set out and even set up a temporary alliance.

Unfortunately, no matter how hard they try, they can't find that person's IP address. The only useful clue is the white sickle.

"Is he death?"

"No, ten years ago that boy was six or seven years old at most. He never touched the computer."

"Not death, how can there be a white sickle."

"Maybe I should go to showme."

……

Out of the basement, Charlie couldn't help saying,

"boss, won't you take the computer back?"

"It's a greeting."

"What if he doesn't come."

Luke opened the door and said with a smile, "he'll come."

Charlie shrugged and sat in the driver's seat. He couldn't understand where the boss's self-confidence came from, but dozens of practices have proved that the boss is always the right one.

"Where to go next."

"Gotham!"

In a dilapidated rental house on the outskirts of Gotham.

Robert Downes decadent into the sofa, hand hanging bottle, face full of hops, do not know how much to drink.

No one would have thought that he was the boss of a listed company.

Reality is always full of surprises.

A few years ago, Robert and his friends founded an investment company to provide financial services for the rich. With years of accumulated contacts and extraordinary vision, the company soon became a leader in the industry.

After the listing, the financial resources rolled in, and Robert changed into a famous young entrepreneur.

As the saying goes, people are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong. In Gotham, a place with simple customs, rich people without background are equal to innocent young women without clothes.

Because of a financial dispute, he angered the Gotham mafia boss Falcone, and then everything got worse.

Blackmail, blackmail, intimidation All kinds of means emerge in endlessly. After only two weeks, Robert collapses. The elders can't stand the life of fear and leave one after another.

In the blink of an eye, a thriving company is no longer available.

Robert had to file for bankruptcy and live as a tramp.

The moment he opened the door, Luke wondered if he was in the wrong place. The old, damp house didn't even have a decent piece of furniture. Garbage was everywhere. There was a pungent smell of wine in the air.

Luke covered his nose and frowned,

"are you sure he lives here?"

Charlie nodded. "That's the address in the mail."

"All right!"

Luke tiptoed into the living room, looked at the middle-aged man lying on the sofa several times, frowned and said,

"Robert Downes?"

He yelled several times, but didn't respond,

"Charlie, go to the kitchen and get a basin of water."

When a basin of cold water was poured on it, the middle-aged man who had been intoxicated for many days suddenly woke up,

"who are you? Who told you to come in? Hurry up, or I'll call the police. "

"If the police were useful, you wouldn't be reduced to this."

Luke sat down in a clean place and said, "long time no see, Mr. downs."

Robert wiped the ice water off his face, his eyes hesitated, and the boy in front of him was familiar,

"Luke Shaw?"

"You don't seem to have a bad brain if you recognize me."

"What do you want from me?"

"I don't like to talk to people who stink. Go to the bathroom and have a shower. I'll talk about it in ten minutes."Robert's face stagnated and he was embarrassed. He was once a respectable man. He never thought that he would wear the clothes he picked up from the garbage can to chat with others one day,

"sorry, wait for me for a moment."

Robert rushes into the toilet.

Charlie looked at the environment around him, whether it was moldy cheese in the garbage can or piles of wine bottles in the corner, which made him feel uncomfortable,

"boss, are you sure you want to find a tramp? Maybe it's still a thief. "

"It doesn't matter. The key is ability."

Ten minutes later, Robert comes out of the toilet and changes into a T-shirt that looks good.

Luke didn't want to waste his time in this environment and said, "do you know showme?"

"Of course, it's on my priority list."

After combing, Robles seems to find a little memory of the past, and his tone becomes calm,

"tell me what you think of it."

"Is this an interview?"

Luke nodded. "Showme lacks a CFO. You're the candidate."

As the words fell, Robert was all excited, just like a drowning man grabbing the last straw,

"are you sure To Hire me? "

"I said," he said

"All right!"

Robert takes a breath, presses the excitement in his heart, word by word,

"in recent years, with the development of information technology, computers have become popular, and many people have computers. Computers connect to the network, forming a huge Internet platform and an undeveloped world. At this time, your showme has come, filling the blank area, opening up new markets, as long as you develop well The formation of a monopoly, like the Wayne family and Luther group, can become a new economic giant

Luke secretly praised that he is worthy of being a new star in the financial field, and his vision is really unique.

"what do you say are the advantages, but what are the disadvantages?"

"Economic chain!"

Robert looked straight at Luke, expecting to see some confusion in his too young face. Unfortunately, Luke kept a calm attitude from beginning to end, as if he knew all about it.

"I have observed the operation mode of showme. It is a kind of advanced business operation. Traditional enterprises pay great attention to profits. Without profits, they have no survival value. Unlike showme, you attract users and occupy the market with free. As the scale becomes larger, the cost rises sharply, but the profit is always zero. If you want to change, you can do so unless you launch paid services such as membership and advertising If you do, you are likely to push existing users to other social software. "

Luke nodded. "That's right. Go on."

Robert drinks water and moistens his throat.

"if you want to solve the problem of capital chain without damaging the company's prospects, operation and investment become the key links. Good operation can seize market resources, prove value, and then use noumenon value to deal with those consortia and venture capital companies, so as to ensure investment and control of the company."

"I don't know much about the operation of Internet companies, but capital operation is my strong point. Give me a chance and I will prove my value."

Luke held his chin, saying nothing, as if thinking.

Robert stirred his throat. He was a little nervous. Although the young man in front of him had a young and handsome face, he didn't look like a 16-year-old or a 17-year-old. He was too calm, like an old fox who had gone through the world. He couldn't guess his mind.

a little, Luke looked up and asked,

"how much did you cheat Falcone?"

Robert's cheek twitched violently, his eyes flashed with bitterness and fear that he could not hide.

"Elder Gotham dares to earn money. I have to say that you have a lot of courage."

Luke grows up,

"I like bold helpers. Let's go to the metropolis with me. In half a year, I will help you solve your debt problem."
