Inspector Liao Qichang handed Xing Baohua's computer over to the technical department. He even sent two of his men to supervise it. If the data on the computer were leaked, would the top leader let him off the hook?
The people in the technical department didn't take computers seriously at first. They touched computers every day, just pressed the power button and waited to enter the system.
After a long wait, once the hard drive finished its self-test and I finally saw the desktop, something unexpected happened.
The screen flashed briefly before going black, then remained completely silent, and the green indicator lights on the computer case all went out. In this situation, the first thing to think of is the power supply.
If the main unit has power, the indicator light will definitely be on.
A computer shutting down might be due to a problem with its power supply, but both the laptop and desktop I brought back shut down shortly after being turned on. There are two possible reasons: one is that the voltage at their respective units suddenly increased, burning out both machines.
But this idea was quickly dismissed: if the voltage is too high, it will burn out a whole bunch of appliances. It's impossible for just two machines to burn out. First, I checked the other appliances in the room, and they were all fine, indicating that it wasn't a voltage issue.
The final guess is rather despicable: Xing Baohua, in order to prevent them from searching for things, actually released a virus.
There was no preparation, no protection, and not even any monitoring to prove that the computer was turned off after being turned on.
Now we can only do emergency repairs.
The official technical staff also had some experts who quickly found the problem with the two computers: the hard drives were burnt out.
Unfortunately, these technicians didn't know how to repair hard drives, and they noticed the IBM logo on the drive. Someone suggested having IBM personnel recover the data.
However, some people have suggested that IBM and Xing Baohua are strategic partners, and that if they obtained the hard drive, they would help Xing Baohua completely destroy the evidence.
That makes a lot of sense. There are only a handful of large companies in the world that can repair hard drives. American companies may not be reliable, so let's talk about the Japanese companies.
When Hitachi's Hong Kong branch received the hard drive from the Investigation Bureau, they readily agreed after reviewing the letter of authorization.
The head of Hitachi's branch office also said that their branch in Hong Kong is only responsible for the sales of Hitachi electrical and electronic products, and has limited after-sales technical capabilities, so they can only return to headquarters to restore the data.
Hitachi could actually repair the hard drive by calling in their top experts, but the key issue is the owner's special status. The hard drive is worth hundreds of billions of Hong Kong dollars; if someone tries to steal it, how could they possibly withstand the attack?
For safety's sake, it's safest to send them to their home country.
The repair was completed quite quickly, but the recovered data consisted entirely of educational and early childhood videos!
The engineers haven't even seen many of these films. Wait, what happened to the data worth billions? These are just pieces of junk; who would believe it if I told them? Did they use the wrong hard drive?
When the news was relayed to the investigation department, Liao Qichang's eyelids twitched violently after hearing the report.
Using unprofessional methods to do a professional thing is bound to cause trouble for you.
This is too deep, deeper than the bottom of the Pacific Ocean. This matter cannot be kept secret, after all, the top leader signed a guarantee.
During the report, he was slapped hard across the face by the top leader.
Is there any way to salvage the situation? Perhaps the top leader could, but Liao Qichang definitely wouldn't receive that treatment.
The top leader has a very large network of connections. Knowing that things were going badly, he quickly found someone to act as a mediator and asked Xing Baohua to intercede on his behalf.
If a computer worth hundreds of billions is damaged, without signing an agreement, it's fine as it is. But if an agreement is signed, it's not so simple.
Of course, Xing Baohua received the definite news much later, even a couple of days later wouldn't have mattered. Immediately afterwards, some familiar friends invited him to dinner or meet up for a chat.
Xing Baohua declined the offer, saying he was too busy.
What are we waiting for? There are so many media outlets waiting outside for him to say a few words, they're all free, why not use them?
So Xing Baohua, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, strolled to the front gate.
The next day, almost all media outlets, both in Chinese and English, reported on the same issue: "Foreigners Join Forces to Bully Chinese Businessmen."
Use a three-part structure to describe the cause, process, and result.
The investigation department, due to the disappearance of employees at Xing Baohua's company, suspected Xing Baohua and searched his temporary residence, taking away his personal computer.
Here's a side note: Xing Baohua's listed company is currently under commercial attack from international speculative capital.
So why did the foreigners launch an investigation into Xing Baohua at such a crucial moment? What was their evidence?
It poses several questions in a row, leaving readers to fill in the blanks themselves.
The process was quite interesting. The investigators took the computers back, and both computers broke down at the same time. The hard drives were the ones that broke down, and these hard drives contained trade secrets worth hundreds of billions of Hong Kong dollars.
Is it a coincidence or a conspiracy?
It's normal to repair what's broken, but why do people go to Hitachi instead of IBM engineers to repair IBM products?
According to feedback from Hitachi engineers, Xing Baohua's computer hard drive was full of movies, and the kind that were quite obscene.
Xing Baohua must have plenty of free time to look at that thing. Besides, does he even need to look at it?
This is a deliberate attempt to mislead readers, suggesting that it's all the foreigners' doing to exclude outstanding Chinese businessmen.
The Japanese can't be trusted. They might have already stolen the information and are just making up some excuse. But an excuse should be plausible; their excuse is clearly just something they came up with out of thin air.
Liao Qichang was also suffering in silence, unable to express his bitterness.
Xing Baohua has video surveillance evidence proving that the computer was fine when they took it away, so why is it not working properly on his end?
So either Xing Baohua is behind this, or it's his team in the technical department.
If it was really Xing Baohua who was behind this, he would accept it. But if it was the people in the technical department who were behind it, they were trying to harm him! So he asked the top leader for instructions to lock up the people in the technical department and interrogate them.
