Reborn as Zhao Ruilong of Handong, I will defy fate.

"Bro, what interface is this? I've never seen it before."

The owner of the computer assembly business, incredibly curious, came over.

Having worked in the industry for many years, he considers himself to have some technical knowledge.

But at this moment, he couldn't understand the strings of code on the screen at all.

"I don't know, it might be due to incompatibility with some hardware, or a compatibility issue."

With that, Zhao Ruilong turned off the power.

"How about I assemble it for you? I guarantee I'll put together the best-performing system within your budget!"

"And I'll also install an optimized XP system for you for free, which is very stable and smooth."

"How about I give you an extra three months of warranty?"

Zhao Ruilong smiled and shook his head.

"I want to do some more research myself."

"Okay, then you can continue your research. Call me if you need anything."

After handing Zhao Ruilong a cigarette, the boss turned and went to the counter to solicit business.

Snapped!

I lit a cigarette and watched as the computer slowly booted up.

On the surface, he appeared calm, but his heart was pounding wildly.

What is an operating system?

It is the soul of the computer!

In today's world, the application of the Internet and computers is very common.

Even in China, a country with a relatively weak economy.

Since 1994, when the first 64K international leased line was officially connected, the Longguo Academy of Sciences set up its first WEB server.

To date, the number of computer users has reached tens of millions.

These include many important industries and departments such as finance, transportation, and customs.

In developed Western countries, the scope and extent of its application are even broader and deeper.

To meet the needs of cross-border payments, the International Funds Clearing System was put into use as early as 1973.

The internet industry’s rapid growth created a bubble in the 1990s, which only burst this March.

Many large multinational corporations in the West have long been accustomed to using computers for office work and sending and receiving emails via the Internet. Banks and securities companies have also long been using the Internet for trading.

And now...

Zhao Ruilong became a top expert in electronic information technology.

Surprisingly, the operating system was found to have many vulnerabilities.

This means that the vast majority of computer users worldwide, as well as many networked banks, insurance companies, financial securities firms, and other businesses and departments, are affected.

Their computers and servers were completely unprotected by Zhao Ruilong.

Just like every household has installed Microsoft security doors.

But Zhao Ruilong has many ways to open the door without anyone noticing.

Since they can come and go without a trace, the scope for manipulation is enormous.

So this moment.

Zhao Ruilong felt as if he had discovered a huge gold mine, but no one was watching over it.

"Should I get my hands on some classified documents to satisfy my curiosity, or should I try to get some small change from those large multinational financial institutions?"

"Anyway, it's definitely better than selling the vulnerability directly to Microsoft. Even if they give me a hundred million, I'll eventually spend it all."

"Until they completely patch these vulnerabilities with repeated updates, I essentially had an ATM with unlimited funds!"

After taking a deep drag of his cigarette, Zhao Ruilong made his decision.

A hundred years ago, the Empress Dowager had already given money.

What crime is it to take some back and spend it now?

"Boss, prepare two sets according to my configuration list!"

"Also, get me a printer, and throw in extra ink cartridges!"

Taking out his phone, Zhao Ruilong immediately contacted the telecommunications company to install broadband at his home.

The provincial party committee compound already had a dedicated computer room, and the telecommunications company sent its best personnel.

They quickly activated the fastest ADSL broadband connection available at the time for Zhao Ruilong.

The maximum upload speed can reach 1 Mbps, and the download speed can reach 8 Mbps.

After setting up my father's computer, connecting the printer, and testing that it worked, I realized it was working.

Zhao Ruilong then returned to his room and began working frantically.

To do something well, you must first have the right tools!

Although many vulnerabilities are known, it is clear that one cannot act without disguise and roam the online world recklessly.

Therefore, top hackers must have all the necessary firewalls, VPNs, scanning tools, etc.

In order to deal with possible tracking and anti-intrusion.

Of course, it is also necessary to write some Trojan programs and secretly control a large number of computers and servers.

This is what hackers refer to as a 'zombie'.

Time passes quickly.

Completely absorbed in his work, Zhao Ruilong's hands flew across the keyboard, and he didn't even hear his phone ring.

Until there was a loud knocking on the door...

I quickly returned to the main system desktop, started the Red Alert game, and then got up to open the door.

Why didn't you answer my calls?

As soon as the door opened, Zhao Xiaohui asked in a somewhat resentful tone.

"I was playing games with headphones on, so I didn't hear it."

Zhao Ruilong chuckled.

"This is the computer you assembled yourself?"

Zhao Xiaohui walked quickly to the computer and looked at it carefully.

"Yes, it's more cost-effective to assemble it yourself than to buy a brand-name pre-built computer. For the same price, you can get a higher configuration."

"So that's why you've been reading all those books whenever you have free time these days. Turns out you're trying to teach yourself how to install a computer!"

"I've been playing for most of the day, and it runs very smoothly. Why don't you give it a try?"

"I don't play it, and I don't understand it at all."

Zhao Xiaohui turned around and looked at Zhao Ruilong with a serious expression.

"Du Bozhong and I talked to President Xue for most of the day, and we managed to get the price down from 230 million to 185 million. We really couldn't cut it any further. Do you think this price is acceptable?"

Are you sure there are no other debts?

"No, she guaranteed that. Not only can we check with the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, the Tax Bureau, and the Bank of China at will, but we can also leave 30 million as a deposit, which will be paid three months after the handover!"

“Sure, but I suddenly have a new idea. We can make a profit by simply setting up the company and then selling it to Longxing Communications at a high price. But why can’t we do it together as a partner?”

"What do you mean?"

"I'm asking you, we've been arranging for people to look for shops everywhere to prepare for opening a store, are we just going to sell PHS phones for a few years?"

"Of course not! If there are other good electronic products, we can sell them on the side!"

"In that case, why don't we take advantage of the opportunity to cooperate with Longxing Communications to cultivate our own electronics technology company?"

Seeing Zhao Xiaohui's blank expression, Zhao Ruilong simply and bluntly said:

"If our country's main streets, national and provincial highways, and expressways all had surveillance cameras, wouldn't that be a more effective way to prevent and combat crime?"

Zhao Xiaohui nodded and said, "Of course. If there were surveillance cameras everywhere, those two habitual robbers you subdued yesterday would probably have been caught long ago."

Zhao Ruilong laughed and said, "So, if we set up a technology company, even if it's just producing security monitoring equipment, with the connections of the Zhao family, do we need to worry about not having projects to do?"

Zhao Xiaohui suddenly realized what was happening.

"Yes! The budget for this kind of procurement is quite substantial!"

"But will Longxing Communications agree to cooperate?"

Zhao Ruilong snorted coldly.

"How could we refuse if there's profit to be made?"

Zhao Xiaohui nodded repeatedly.

"That makes sense. So, how should we cooperate?"

Zhao Ruilong explained his thoughts in a simple and easy-to-understand way.

Now that I have both the technology and the capital, why would I sell the company to Longxing Communications?

Before we knew it, it was getting late.

"Okay, I'll do as you say, but what would you like to eat tonight? I'll have Auntie make it."

“I’m not eating at home tonight. Lu Yike invited me to dinner at Jiangnan Restaurant at eight o’clock.”

"Okay, then remember to leave early. It's your first time going out to dinner alone with a girl, so don't be late."

"Okay, I'll leave after I finish this game."

Zhao Xiaohui closed the door and left.

After locking the door, Zhao Ruilong turned off the game and continued programming.

I didn't get ready to leave until 7:10.

We arrived at the upscale Jiangnan Restaurant, five minutes before eight o'clock.

However, Lu Yike had already arrived and waved from afar.

She wasn't wearing a uniform tonight, and she was also wearing light makeup.

As soon as Zhao Ruilong nodded in response, he noticed Liang Wei staring intently at him from the next table.

Did my predecessor offend him?

"Why did you look at me with such hostility last night, and now you're even more menacing?"

Zhao Ruilong was somewhat puzzled, but he didn't care too much.

As soon as she arrived at the table, Lu Yike handed her the menu with a smile.

Then she rested her chin on her hand and looked at Zhao Ruilong with deep affection.

"Order whatever you like, don't be shy."

Are you sure you want me to order anything?

"Of course, you saved my life. I would do anything to repay you. What is a meal compared to that?"

Lu Yike deliberately spoke very loudly.

Liang Wei heard it all clearly.

Naturally, she was so angry that she gritted her teeth and clenched her fists...
