Lin Qiang pretended to be a customer and walked into a software store, casually browsing the software on the shelves.

He asked the boss a question, his face showing a hint of curiosity and anticipation.

The software store owner gave him a wary look, his eyes filled with suspicion: "Where did you hear that? All the software here is genuine." His hand unconsciously groped under the counter, as if checking something.

Lin Qiang smiled, revealing a set of white teeth, trying to appear more sincere: "Don't pretend, I heard about it from a friend. Everyone's looking for cheap and easy-to-use pirated software. If you have it, I'll definitely buy a few more copies. Making money isn't easy these days, every little bit helps." He continued to plead, his eyes not missing a single subtle movement from the shopkeeper.

After Lin Qiang's persistent pleading, the software store owner finally relented. He looked around to make sure no one else was in the store before taking out several boxes of pirated 361 antivirus software from under the counter. The printing on the boxes was rough and the colors were somewhat dull.

"These are all the sets you need. Don't tell anyone else," the shopkeeper said in a low voice.

Lin Qiang was secretly delighted, but he remained outwardly calm. He bargained with the shop owner for a while and finally bought it.

Meanwhile, he also secretly used a miniature camera hidden in his clothes to film the entire process of his boss selling pirated software.

They borrowed the miniature camera from a friend; although small, the image quality was fairly clear.

Attorney Zhang from the legal department carefully examined the collected evidence to ensure that every step complied with legal procedures.

Wearing reading glasses and holding a magnifying glass, he carefully examined every photo and video, recording key information in his notebook.

After several days of investigation, they collected a large amount of evidence of the sale of pirated software, including information on sales channels, sales volume, and related responsible persons.

The sales channels were complex and involved multiple computer malls and small street shops, and the sales volume was quite considerable, which was alarming.

Upon learning the news, Chen Dong quickly went to the police station to report the case, carrying the evidence he had collected.

The police station was bustling with people and filled with noise, and the walls were covered with various wanted posters and propaganda slogans.

He was received by a seasoned criminal investigation captain, a tall man with sharp eyes. After listening to Chen Dong's account, the captain said seriously, "Mr. Chen, rest assured, we will take this matter very seriously. Piracy seriously damages the legitimate rights and interests of enterprises and disrupts market order. We will absolutely not tolerate it. The evidence you provided is crucial, and we will follow the clues to investigate further."

The police immediately launched an operation and, based on the clues provided by Chen Dong, conducted a thorough investigation of the underground software workshop.

After several days of surveillance, they gained an understanding of the personnel and activity patterns within the workshop.

The workshop had several technicians responsible for cracking software, and others who were specifically responsible for sales contacts. They usually conducted transactions late at night and were very cautious.

One late night, all was quiet except for the occasional chirping of insects that broke the stillness.

Police launched a raid, with police cars silently driving to the residential area where the workshop was located. The officers quickly got out of the cars and surrounded the dilapidated building.

At the captain's command, the police stormed into the workshop, dismantling the pirated software operation and arresting those responsible.

The workshop was in a mess, with several old computers still running, their screens still displaying cracked software code, and pirated software boxes scattered on the floor.

With the source of piracy destroyed, pirated software gradually disappeared from the market, and sales of 361 Antivirus 2.0 returned to normal.

Inside the company, employees cheered and celebrated the victory.

Everyone hugged each other, tears welling up in their eyes. Several young employees even jumped up, finally releasing their pent-up emotions.

However, Chen Dong did not relax because of this.

After this incident, he realized that the company still had shortcomings in software security protection.

At the company's all-staff meeting, the conference room was packed with people, all looking at Chen Dong with anticipation.

Chen Dong said solemnly, "Although we successfully resolved the piracy crisis this time, it has also served as a wake-up call. We cannot be complacent; we must increase investment in technological research and development, upgrade the software's encryption system, and leave no room for pirates. At the same time, we must strengthen cooperation with law enforcement agencies and establish a long-term anti-piracy mechanism to prevent similar crises from happening again. We must make 361 Antivirus a gold standard in the market, one that no one can easily shake."

The employees below the stage nodded in agreement, their eyes filled with determination.

Engineer Zhao from the technical department stood up and said, "President Chen, rest assured, our technical department will definitely work hard to develop and improve our software security to a higher level! We'll upgrade the encryption system to be as solid as a rock, and then let's see how those pirates will manage to do anything."

Heads of departments such as marketing and legal affairs also stated that they would continue to do their jobs well and safeguard the company's development.

Lin Qiang, the marketing director, shouted, "Our marketing department will also strengthen market supervision. Once we discover any signs of piracy, we will report it immediately and never allow pirated software to have another chance to enter the market."

Thanks to the joint efforts of all employees, 361 Inc. not only successfully resolved this piracy crisis, but also enhanced the company's cohesion and combat effectiveness through this incident.

361 Antivirus is gaining a better reputation in the market, and its sales are rising steadily.

While the company continues to grow and expand, it has also made its own contributions to maintaining the healthy development of the software industry.

Sunlight streamed through the windows, illuminating the slightly crowded yet vibrant office of 361 Inc.

The employees were busy at their respective posts, the sounds of keyboards clicking and discussions mingling together to create a busy yet hopeful symphony.

Chen Dong was sitting at his desk, intently reviewing a game design proposal, when his secretary, Xiao Li, hurriedly walked in, her face showing a mixture of nervousness and excitement.

"Mr. Chen, the representatives from Sega are downstairs and will be up shortly," Xiao Li said, his voice slightly hurried, clearly showing his anticipation for this important meeting.

Chen Dong put down the documents in his hand, straightened his shirt, stood up, took a deep breath, and tried to remain absolutely calm in this important negotiation.

"Okay, I understand. Go arrange the meeting room and prepare tea. Make sure everything is done properly."

Not long after, the meeting room door was pushed open, and two Sega representatives dressed in sharp suits walked in.

The leader was a middle-aged man named Yamamoto Ichiro. He had sharp eyes and a shrewd look, as if he could see through everything.
