Rebirth 2010: I taught Mr. Lei how to make a mobile phone

Chapter 887 Dragon Hunting Bounty, Major Version Update
The business world is like a jungle game, and every outstanding businessman carries the genes of a beast.

Or like a tiger, possessing an inherent kingly demeanor, commanding respect without anger;
Or like wolves, they are masters of cooperation and possess iron discipline;

Or like a fox, skilled in strategy and ingenuity, with exquisite calculations.

However, the business jungle is not only filled with these beasts, but also with many ruthless and cunning businessmen.

They exposed their selfish and self-serving nature, and when faced with the weak, they showed their ugly face of bullying the weak and fearing the strong, and did everything they could to suppress and exploit them.
When faced with a powerful opponent, they become obsequious and fawning, resorting to any means to gain profit, constantly testing the limits of business ethics.

But in Chen Mo's view, top businessmen like Lao Liu belong to another category: he is a chameleon, able to change his camouflage according to the environment.

In his prime, he charged into battle like a wolf or tiger; in his old age, he hid in the shadows like a cunning fox; now he has fled abroad, patient and stoic like an old tortoise.

Just like the reward offered for that musical prodigy, there was no progress for a long time because the reward did not meet expectations. Once the amount was increased, the effect was immediate.

The problem with the other bounty, however, is not the reward itself—several well-known international organizations have accepted the order, but progress has been slow because the target lives in seclusion and is difficult to take action.

According to the intelligence report, the target is currently living in seclusion in a wealthy area of ​​New York, with bodyguards and servants all being his confidants, making it difficult for outsiders to get close.

He was clearly aware that he was "wanted" and rarely went out, keeping a very low profile.

If force is used in a wealthy area, the impact will be too great and will inevitably attract the attention of the local authorities—making the action slow due to the fear of unintended consequences.

Chen Mo understood the concerns of professional organizations, after all, they were professionals.

What he didn't expect was that these organizations weren't the ones Chen Mo thought were hesitant to act against, but rather they were planning their moves carefully.

Then the situation changed drastically; the swift and brutal retribution from the shadows came suddenly.
Late October, overseas.

A middle-aged man surnamed Liu was kidnapped by robbers while shopping with his bodyguard.

The following day, according to local media reports, a gang shootout occurred at a junction in XX, during which an elderly man was unable to dodge and was hit by a stray bullet, requiring emergency treatment in the local hospital's ICU.
On the third day, the kidnappers, having failed to receive the large ransom, killed the hostage.

That evening, the video of the kidnapping was brought to the ICU. The elderly man, on his deathbed, watched it and, in a final burst of energy, stared at the masked medical staff with bloodshot eyes. He ultimately died with his eyes wide open, unable to rest in peace.

Everyone must die; some deaths are as light as a feather, while others are as heavy as Mount Tai.

Although life is said to be priceless, it is always put on a price tag. Otherwise, how are the compensation amounts for traffic accidents, industrial accidents, and medical accidents determined?
The amount is actually similar to that of pensions. Smaller cities give less, ranging from a few hundred thousand to more, while larger cities give more. For example, in the area where Mr. Shanghai lives, it is around 200 million. As for celebrities and businessmen, it is even more expensive.

In Chen Mo's view, Lao Liu spent his life manipulating capital, and in the end, he paid the price with 1 Bitcoins, so he died a worthy death.

Since these Bitcoins were useless to him anyway, he might as well use them to do something he considered meaningful.

The five families that completed this mission are the legendary 'Mafia' of New York. This organization originated from Italian immigrants in the early 20th century and has a history of over a century.

But in reality, it was the new generation MS-13 that took action. This is the most "famous" gang in the United States, bar none.

The Mafia acts like a 'senior' responsible for intelligence and relationships, while the actual operations are left to the 'younger generation'.

The two orders were completed one after the other, and the reward was credited to my account instantly. This is the best kind of 'advertisement'.

This quickly made the Dragon Hunting Bounty section one of the most sought-after "traffic hotspots" on the dark web, encouraging more organizations to take on the orders.

However, many organizations found it difficult to adapt to the bare mission board.

This also made Chen Mo experience the embarrassment of insufficient production capacity.
Just like a company, even if the employees are outsourced, if they don't work for a long time, the company will eventually go bankrupt.

Chen Mo closed his eyes and pondered for a while, then came up with an idea.

If the previous two cases were personal grudges mixed with personal feelings, then the following cases are politically motivated and guided by circumstances.

Chen Mo opened the official website, and the four large characters "Operation Skynet" came into view.

This list is publicly available and has become a key target for the pursuit of fugitives and the recovery of stolen assets; it is also known as the "100 Most Wanted Fugitives".

In the past two years, thanks to the efforts of the country, a number of fugitives have been brought back to China through various means such as bilateral law enforcement cooperation, persuasion to return, and repatriation. Among them are some cases that caused a sensation at the time.

The crimes committed by each and every person on this list are beyond description; they are simply too numerous to recount.
Chen Mo addressed the problem by arranging and screening the remaining suspects by number, and then categorizing them into different levels such as Dragon, Tiger, Wolf, and Dog, ultimately generating new bounty missions in batches.

In late October, the Dragon Hunting Guild's quest list received a major update—this time it wasn't just two quests with too many applicants, but dozens of brand-new quests.

It's important to know that once a bounty is completed, the organization that completed the task will later confirm receipt of the reward.

This instant payment settlement is more effective than any advertising, making the Dragon Hunting Bounty section the hottest traffic hotspot.

This has made many professional organizations green with envy; they are not worried about scarcity but about inequality.

This major update, with its substantial content, has delighted the leaders of these organizations. Many teams have even suspended other businesses and made dragon hunting bounties their new main business—after all, it's a faster way to make money than drug trafficking.

However, these organizations discovered a problem this time: the unified requirement was to provide information, recover funds, repatriate personnel, and cooperate with the Chinese government's actions.

In other words, there was no decapitation strike, but rather captures!
This has led countless fans to speculate about the origins of "Bitman," the leader of the Dragon Hunting Squad. Previously, they thought it was a single person, but after this version update, many people believe that he represents the official team.

After all, how could one person possibly have so many Bitcoins?

The bounties for these missions are as high as 100,000 Bitcoins, worth nearly 4 billion US dollars.

Moreover, the value of Bitcoin is not constant, but rather like that of stocks.

The sudden news of nearly one million Bitcoins, although ostensibly for cashing out, still impacted Bitcoin's price, causing it to plummet by 10% that day.

Rumors are circulating in the cryptocurrency field that "Satoshi Nakamoto (the inventor of Bitcoin) is actually Chinese" and "market manipulators are taking this opportunity to unload their holdings."

Opinions were divided, but this did not stop professional teams from taking orders from all over the world.

Gunshots echoed across the ocean from the streets of New York, and when the news of the octogenarian's accidental death reached China, a storm brewed in the public discourse.

Initially, the official media had prepared a press release, attempting to use brilliant language to conclude his business career. However, just as the ink was dry, an urgent order arrived like frost, instantly putting all the carefully prepared reporting plans to a standstill.

At the end of that night's evening news broadcast, the anchor announced in his usual calm tone: "The following is a brief international news report: A gang shootout has occurred in New York. The casualties on both sides are unknown, but an octogenarian was shot by a stray bullet and died from his injuries."

These few words, like a light, drifting leaf, have stirred up a thousand waves in the business world and the depths of public opinion.

On the surface, this is just a routine announcement of the passing of a deceased person, but anyone with discerning eyes knows that the so-called "out of sight, out of mind" is nothing more than a pretext to gloss over the truth.

What truly brought the reporting to a screeching halt was the mysterious anonymous USB drive—the enormous amount of evidence and hidden assets recorded on it made even seasoned investigators gasp in shock. This outcome, ironically, made one feel that even the judgment of fate seemed somewhat merciful.

The relevant authorities were already aware of the Dragon Hunting Group's activities on the dark web, and they tried to track them using technology, but repeatedly encountered obstacles.

The anonymity of the dark web and the decentralized architecture of Bitcoin acted as two impenetrable barriers. Coupled with the fact that the people behind the scenes were already on guard, the clues that led all the way to the Middle Eastern desert disappeared without a trace, like a kite with a broken string.

Interestingly, the latest bounty list released by the Dragon Hunting Group coincides with the objectives of the official "Operation Skynet," a tacit understanding that forces the authorities to turn a blind eye.
Hangzhou, Lakeside University.

Inside the auditorium, gray silk hung down, like frozen sorrow, silently enveloping the entire space.

Hanging on either side is a long couplet, the ink thick and bold, the words strong and graceful, clearly the work of a master:

First line: Pioneer of industry, helms Lenovo through trials and tribulations, a flag bearer
The second line reads: Discussing business principles, reflecting on the times, judging merits and demerits by history.
Approved by the higher authorities: The vast ocean flows on.

The crystal chandelier cast a cool light on the business elites in dark suits below the stage. Some wiped their eyes, while others seemed lost in thought. A complex emotion filled the air.

Old Ma slowly walked onto the stage, the sound of his leather shoes striking the ground particularly clear in the silence. His expression was one of deep sorrow.
"Today, we gather here to mourn a figure who left a profound mark on the history of Chinese enterprise development."
His departure left me deeply disturbed. It was not only the end of an era, but also a microcosm of the ups and downs of entrepreneurial spirit in the wave of reform and opening up.

He dedicated his life to embodying the true meaning of "finding a path in the market, discerning the winds of policy, and weighing the pros and cons of human relationships"—a skill that cannot be simply summarized as "entrepreneurial spirit."

The audience held their breath, and Old Ma's deep voice echoed in the silence.
"While we commemorate the past, we should also view the course of Chinese commercial development from a historical and dialectical perspective."

Every entrepreneur has their own era's limitations and historical background; their achievements and controversies are all part of the exploration and development of the market economy.

We must acknowledge their contributions while also learning from their lessons; this is the responsible attitude we should have towards history.

"The path we entrepreneurs have walked, the hardships we've endured, and the pressures we've faced are unimaginable to outsiders."

At this point, his tone suddenly became more serious:
"There's a new trend of thought emerging in Chinese business today that we should be wary of."
