41. The server room was hacked.
Taking advantage of a company-funded trip, Shinmoto Yui used company money to buy a bunch of things to take home.
This was Li Xiang's first time in Okinawa. The scenery was beautiful, and she stayed at Shin-Yuan's house. Her family was very hospitable and cooked a lot of delicious food for her.
Under Honma Ken's constant urging, Li Xiang quickly wired the money for the buyout of Singapore dollars to the British company, New Century Entertainment.
Upon receiving the remittance, Kenji Honma immediately sent a text message to Singapore Dollar, explaining the situation, and then turned off his phone and went to sleep.
It was already dark.
Xin Yuan originally intended to wait until tomorrow morning to ask Li Xiang for clarification, but in the end, he couldn't resist.
knocking.
Li Xiang opened the door, his face showing astonishment.
Xinyuan, who was wearing short sleeves during the day, is now wrapped up like a rice dumpling.
It was almost snowing in St. Petersburg by the end of September, but the average temperature in Okinawa was still above 25 degrees Celsius, so you didn't feel cold when swimming in the sea.
"Come in." Li Xiang said in simple English, which Xin Yuan could understand.
Xin Yuan brought a laptop and communicated with Li Xiang via online web page translation.
"Yes, I'm your boss now." Li Xiang understood a little why Xin Yuan was so secretive about himself; he was afraid of being sexually harassed.
Singaporean Yuan typed his protest, "When it comes to my career development, you should at least consult me. How could you sell my contract privately?"
"Go find Kenji Honma, he's the one who didn't tell you," Li Xiang said, shifting the blame.
Xin Yuan pouted and said, "His phone is off."
"I've arranged a new agent for you. She'll arrive tomorrow. You can talk to her about work. I can't guarantee anything about the film and television resources in Japan, but I can guarantee that you'll earn much more money than you do now."
"Any other questions? If not, you can leave now; I need to rest."
Li Xiang tried his best to appear serious so as not to cause any unnecessary misunderstandings.
"Oh." Seeing Li Xiang's tense face, Xin Yuan didn't dare to ask anything.
There is a six-hour time difference between St. Petersburg and Japan. At 1:30 a.m., Li Xiang had just fallen asleep when Wuyun Gerile suddenly called.
"Brother Xiang, our server room has been hacked. All the servers have been encrypted, and they're demanding $10,000 from us. They won't decrypt them unless we pay."
Wuyun Gerile wanted to pay back the money he owed Li Xiang for the house as soon as possible, so he quit his job as a maid and went to work at the Hongxing computer room, where he was in charge of logistics and took care of the technical staff's needs.
"Is there no one who can solve this?" Li Xiang asked, frowning.
"We're researching it now, but they say it's quite difficult." Uyungerile hesitated for a moment, then added, "I don't think any of those people are capable; they're all talk and no action. You'd better hurry up and come up with a solution."
"Should we hire outside help or pay them?"
Li Xiang glanced at the time and said, "Arrange a car to pick them up from VKontakte's studio right now. I'll call them and ask them to send someone knowledgeable to help us take a look."
Recruiting programmers in Russia is relatively easy, but finding an experienced and capable technical leader for WeTV is very difficult.
They need to be poached by big companies; it's a rare opportunity.
After Li Xiang finished his phone call with Wuyun Gerile, he took out his computer, entered the website wetv.ru, and as expected, he lost contact.
[Opponents: Grigory | Zahar | Grace]
Three more people appeared on the hostile list, but without detailed information, Li Xiang hadn't really considered the possibility that Dalia had forcibly taken KinoZal.
He mainly felt that people shouldn't be so stupid; their physical bodies were already locked down, yet they still dared to cause trouble? Unless they truly had the ability to engage in an offline duel.

Although Li Xiang has no voting rights in VKontakte, as one of the core shareholders, Durov Jr. still values him highly.
Upon receiving the call for help, Durov Jr. immediately dispatched his brother, Durov Sr., the top technical expert at VKontakte Studios.
Durov was very efficient; he had already given Li Xiang a reply just as dawn was breaking.
The two were having a video call.
"This virus is called ransomware. There were a few cases in Russia earlier this year, but the one in your case is a bit different. It's a variant that has been improved based on the original virus."
My suggestion is to give money.
The Red Star programmers were all watching from the sidelines. Hearing such boastful words from their foreign aid team, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
"I'm willing to pay, but how can I guarantee that he'll shut down the virus as promised after I pay? What if he continues to extort money from me?"
Durov turned around, shooed away the onlookers, and said to Li Xiang alone, "I can't guarantee whether the other side will keep their word, but I can use the opportunity of paying to sneak over there."
"If you can find his real address, and it happens to be in Russia, you can send someone to find him in person. I can't guarantee whether it will be successful; I can only try."
Li Xiang thought for a moment and said, "I like paying tuition. If the other party keeps their promise after receiving the money, then that's fine. You don't need to tell me their address if you find it."
"Okay, I'll hang up the video now. Wait for my message." After learning that Galina had helped Li Xiang join VKontakte through coercion, Durov's impression of Li Xiang had become very bad, but this time his opinion had changed somewhat.

Minsk, the capital of Belarus.
a hotel.
The KinoZal trio—Grigori, Zahar, and Grace—were already celebrating joyfully in their suite.
"You said you didn't even have enough for the travel expenses, but you've got ten thousand US dollars now."
"Since he gave it to me so readily, I should have asked for more, maybe 30,000 or 40,000. I think he could have given that much."
"Take your time." Gerry grinned mischievously and sent a message to St. Petersburg via the virus program: "Did they transfer the money? I haven't received it. Oh, sorry, I got the PayPal account wrong. I'll send them the correct one and transfer it again."
"They're trying to hack us." The computer intercepted a suspected attack signal.
"That's good. Our IP address is in New York, but our real address is in Minsk. Come and check it if you dare. I'm not afraid they won't be able to find it."
Zahar said to Gri, "You have fun. Grace and I are going out to see what good food we can find and bring it back for you."
"I'm not hungry. You two had better get another room and not come back tonight."
"Who's going to book a room with him?" Grace and Zahar said. "You go by yourself. I have to stay here with Gerry. Gerry did the most work this time. Without him, we would have been doomed."
"Yeah, we have to keep an eye on him. What if he gets the money and doesn't tell us, and keeps it all to himself?" Zahar stopped walking, smiled sheepishly, and sat down next to Grace.
"Move over there a bit, don't sit so close, you smell awful." Grace nudged Zahar with her shoulder.
Gerry stared intently at the screen, his fingers tapping away on the keyboard. He muttered to himself, "I really don't understand what's so great about women. They have so many things to do every day, and I have to spend time coaxing them. It's so exhausting and only affects my coding efficiency."
