rebirth from small pockets

Chapter 271 Mr. Chen and Mr. Ma

Lin'an~Zuixianju!

The name is very Lin'an, and it also has the feeling of Zuixian Tower in the book "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" written by Mr. Cha.

But in fact, this is just a small restaurant with a very ordinary environment.

This kind of small restaurant is also called a fly restaurant in Sichuan Province. There are often one or two delicacies hidden in this small restaurant.

For example, the Flower Boy Chicken served in Zuixianju is fragrant and tastes quite good.

Chen Li also ate beggar's chicken in his previous life, but he thought the taste was just average.

On the other hand, the flower boy chicken here tastes really good.

Sure enough~ When eating elsewhere to enjoy delicious food, it is best to ask the locals, such as Ma Xiaoyun opposite Chen Li.

"Mr. Chen, since we drank together, we are friends."

"Since we are friends, I won't be polite to you."

"Let's talk it over directly. You flew all the way from Yanjing to Lin'an to find me."

"You want to see me for something?"

A few days ago at a Sichuan restaurant in Yanjing, Ma Xiaoyun was still calling him "Chen Li" in each mouthful.

But now, Xiao Chen and his buddies have become Mr. Chen. All this originated from the scene when Chen Li appeared at the exit of the train station.

It sounds ridiculous. A few days ago, most of Ma Xiaoyun's team felt that Chen Li was a liar who liked to brag.

But since they saw Chen Li at the exit in the early morning, this group of people didn't know why, but their trust in Chen Li suddenly increased inexplicably.

Even when they learned that Chen Li came to An to let them see whether Chen Li had really solved the Y2K problem, some people even began to believe that Chen Li was not lying.

This trust comes out of nowhere, but it is reality.

The reason is simple. If Chen Li is really just bragging and telling lies, then the cost will be too high.

They had learned that Chen Li was still in Yanjing yesterday morning, but he had arrived in Lin'an ahead of them in the early morning.

There is only one explanation for this. Chen Li came to Lin'an by plane.

It's really nonsense to fly all the way to Lin'an just to brag and make big claims.

So, did Chen Li really solve the Y2K problem?

The answer to this question needs to be explored by the few people in Ma Xiaoyun's team who understand computer technology.

Originally, Ma Xiaoyun gave everyone a day off today, but those two buddies didn't take a break at all. They took the private user version given by Chen Li and ran to test it.

The test is not complicated, but in order to get certain information, the results will not come out for a while.

Instead, Chen Li followed Ma Xiaoyun to find a small hotel near his home. After a good night's sleep, he was invited by Ma Xiaoyun to have dinner together.

"Aren't I just looking for you to prove that I'm not bragging?"

Chen Li looked at Ma Xiaoyun with a smile on his face, but he was actually organizing his words in his heart.

He knew very well that now had reached the stage of showdown, so he needed to organize his language well.

However, what surprised Chen Li was that some things that seemed to him to be hidden behind the curtain had actually been seen by others a long time ago.

"Mr. Chen is joking!"

"I apologize to you for the joke my colleague made earlier."

Ma Xiaoyun thought that Chen Li was still angry because his colleagues said that Chen Li was drunk, so he simply took the matter down on his own.

"But I think Mr. Chen, you didn't come all the way from Yanjing to Lin'an just to prove that you weren't bragging?"

Ma Xiaoyun squinted his eyes and looked at Chen Li, then continued before Chen Li could answer.

"If I guess correctly, Mr. Chen."

"Maybe you're interested in our Internet company that hasn't been founded yet?"

"Think again, you insist on letting us know that you, or rather you, solved the Y2K problem."

"So I guess your purpose is related to the few programs you gave them that can solve the millennium bug, right?"

This is how it is when dealing with smart people. Sometimes, as long as you are not careful, your true purpose will be revealed.

Of course, this also has something to do with Chen Li's poor acting skills.

A few days ago, when Chen Li was at a Sichuan restaurant, he kept turning the topic to the Y2K bug.

Of course, this topic is indeed a super hot topic this year.

But this time Chen Li flew thousands of miles to the exit of Lin'an Railway Station. After receiving Ma Xiaoyun and his party, the first thing he did was to produce evidence that he had indeed solved the Y2K problem.

Anyone who is not an idiot can basically guess Chen Li's purpose.

"It's just that I'm curious about you~or rather you. Why did you choose me~or us?"

Ma Xiaoyun knew very well that Chen Li came after him or his group.

Similarly, he did not think that a crisis as big as the millennium bug could really be solved by Chen Li alone.

Even Ma Xiaoyun had doubts about Chen Li's identity.

After all, although the identities mentioned by Chen Li seem to be excellent, they actually have nothing to do with the computer industry.

What do a college student from a foreign studies university and a young owner of a fried chicken restaurant do?

Although Chen Li said that his hobby is computers, a problem that so many professionals have not solved was solved by Chen Li, an amateur?

Nonsense! Ma Xiaoyun doesn’t believe it anyway!

He felt that there should be other people behind Chen Li, or a team. Anyway, the number of people should not be too small!

After all, the Y2K problem is the biggest crisis facing the computer industry this year, and many relevant practitioners are actually studying and studying the Y2K bug.

It is really ridiculous to rely on the strength of one person to overcome such a big problem!

If it were from other industries, if Chen Li came to the door rashly like this, I'm afraid Ma Xiaoyun would think that the other party had evil intentions towards him or his team.

But in the computer industry, there happens to be a somewhat mysterious group that fits well with Chen Li's current persona.

Although Ma Xiaoyun is not a computer professional and technical person, it does not mean that he does not understand the computer industry.

In this industry, there is a group of people who are synonymous with mystery and power. And the name of their group is!

hacker!

Yes! I don’t know how Ma Xiaoyun came up with the idea, and I don’t know if he has ever understood this group. Anyway, he just guessed that Chen Li was probably a member of this group.

Behind Chen Li, there should be a team of hackers composed of many computer experts, so they could complete the cracking of the Y2K crisis.

Of course, all this is based on the premise that the programs given by Chen Li are indeed useful.

However, although he did not get the exact information, Ma Xiaoyun still saw something from Chen Li.

To be precise, it is a kind of self-confidence of unknown origin.

So Ma Xiaoyun guessed that the procedures given by Chen Li should be effective.

The reason why he guessed Chen Li's identity was because one of his partners whispered something in private after Chen Li showed those few programs.

"Isn't this guy a hacker?"

And the reason why he asked this was because of the USB flash drive that Chen Li took out before.

This thing was definitely not something that ordinary people would use in 1999.

At a time when most people are still using floppy disks and hard disks as storage carriers, only those computer experts will use this kind of memory that has not even become popular yet.

Moreover, the USB flash drive given by Chen Li was huge, almost surpassing the current USB flash drive technology, which made Ma Xiaoyun's computer-savvy little Arhat feel a little confused.

In conjunction with Chen Li, in order to convince Ma Xiaoyun and others that he had cracked the Y2K bug, he spoke out the professional terminology and theories related to the Y2K bug that he had spent several days studying.

There are various signs that Chen Li's identity is definitely not as ordinary as he expressed!

So ~ Ma Xiaoyun also thinks so.

However, Chen Li was a little confused. Because he didn't know that Ma Xiaoyun regarded him as a hacker. He was still talking about "you" and "you" in Ma Xiaoyun's mouth. He felt a little confused.

Although he was a little confused, Chen Li knew very well that Ma Xiaoyun already understood the reason why he was looking for him.

So at this moment, Chen Li was too lazy to pay attention to those details and directly brought the topic back to the focus of the problem.

"I want to ask Mr. Ma a question!"

Ma Xiaoyun called him Mr. Chen, so Chen Li simply changed his name to Mr. Ma.

"If it turns out, I did solve the Y2K problem."

"So what does Mr. Ma think I should do?"

After Chen Li finished speaking, he poured a glass of Huadiao wine for Ma Xiaoyun. The wine was really good and suited Chen Li's taste.

"Then it depends on Mr. Chen, what are your demands?"

"Seeking wealth? Or fame!"

Ma Xiaoyun picked up the wine glass and raised his hand towards Chen Li.

In Ma Xiaoyun's understanding, hackers have always been accustomed to hiding behind the scenes.

This time Chen Li suddenly stood up, which meant that Chen Li and the group behind him must have some purpose.

In life, one is only troubled by fame and wealth, so Ma Xiaoyun went straight to the point.

"Of course I'm looking for money!"

"Forget it, Mr. Ma~ I'll just call you Brother Ma!"

"You can still do the same as before, just call me Xiao Chen."

Chen Li was still a little uncomfortable with being called this kind of sir.

"Now that Brother Ma has said this, I won't go around in circles with you."

"I plan to take out this technology. It just so happens that Brother Ma, aren't you planning to start an Internet company with little money?"

"I'll leave the technology to you, and we'll divide the money at that time."

As soon as Chen Li said these words, Ma Xiaoyun's eyes across from him narrowed even more.

Okay~ Ma Xiaoyun admitted that he was moved.

In fact, from the moment Chen Li pursued him from Yanjing to Lin'an, he realized something in his heart.

Coupled with the previous analysis by a certain Wolong in his team, Ma Xiaoyun had some vague speculations in his heart.

Coupled with Chen Li's words at this moment, Ma Xiaoyun realized that he seemed to have encountered an opportunity.

After all, it was the millennium bug!

This is the biggest crisis that the computer and Internet industry has encountered this year, so big that there are even rumors of the end of the world.

Although those rumors are outrageous, it shows how serious the Y2K crisis is.

The Y2K crisis, as a major problem at the turn of the century, is a global, serious, hidden and long-term technical problem.

According to the assessment of some experts in the industry, 90% of the world's computer programs will be affected by the upcoming Y2K crisis.

The cost of changing computer programs around the world may be as high as 300 billion to 600 billion, in US dollars.

At present, all countries in the world attach great importance to this problem, and all countries and major enterprises have already started or are working on solving this problem.

Last year, in order to deal with the upcoming Y2K crisis, the United States even established a computer conversion committee to deal with and solve the upcoming Y2K crisis.

Many other countries, such as Britain, France, Germany, Japan, and Canada, have taken corresponding measures and allocated corresponding funds to solve this problem.

In China, this issue has also received considerable attention.

Just two days ago, the Ministry of Information Industry even held a nationwide video and telephone conference, the core content of which was about how to solve the problem of the Y2K crisis.

Moreover, this meeting clarified the relevant principles of "who develops, who modifies, who uses, who is responsible".

The reason why Ma Xiaoyun is so clear is because this time, the State Economic and Trade Commission also participated and gave clear instructions to hundreds of related companies in the country!

Although the place where Ma Xiaoyun worked before was only a small organization under the Foreign Economic and Trade Commission, Ma Xiaoyun still knew something about such national events.

So~ even if Chen Li doesn't give this thing to him, he has to beg Chen Li to give it to him.

Of course, the premise is that what Chen Li gives can really solve the Y2K problem.

If Chen Li can really solve the millennium bug crisis, and Chen Li is willing to leave this thing to him, Ma Xiaoyun, to handle it

I dare not say anything else, but he, Ma Xiaoyun, can definitely handle this matter beautifully.

Ma Xiaoyun has always been looking for an opportunity to take off.

It is said that a big roc can fly up to 90,000 miles in one day with the wind! But this big roc also needs the help of wind to fly to the sky.

So. Ma Xiaoyun felt that his opportunity had come. The strong wind that his big roc had been waiting for had arrived!

But Ma Xiaoyun is not without worries~ He has two things in mind!

First, Chen Li’s identity?

Second, why did Chen Li find him?

As for whether the program given by Chen Li was useful, it was not among his considerations.

Because if what Chen Li brought out was useless, then all his assumptions would actually be unfounded, including his concerns.

So, even though Chen Li didn't explain his concerns, Ma Xiaoyun decided to wait.

What are you waiting for? Of course you are waiting

Validation results!
