The media in various countries are full of close-ups of a clumsy, panicked young man from the East, and his incoherent sophistry, giving him the perfect image of a middle-class young man who has done bad things.

The media knows the preferences of the people. Aren't all those young hackers who are no good at school like this? They are super capable and ignorant of the world. From time to time they make some big news. And this one is one of the unlucky ones.

You know, European and American media will take the initiative to cater to the public. Therefore, they will make some necessary edits. This is absolutely objective and fair! At most, they can just add a... filter. Ahem!

Anyway, shut up! We are discussing press freedom!

In the Hong Kong and Taiwan media, De Ge and others also concocted a strange article:

"We all know that Brother Yuan's talent is beyond doubt. Not only has he published several best-selling books, but he is also an excellent software engineer. However, Brother Yuan's conduct is equally bad. In addition to the rogue literati spread in the mainland, there are now many other people in Europe and the United States.

I gave him a fancy name - Villain! Together they become a rogue and villain!"

"Then why did Brother Yuan become a gangster? His reputation even spread to European and American countries? It was because he produced and spread the computer disease Dandelion..."

"In this matter, the author decided to unconditionally support Brother Yuan. Even if he is a gangster, he is still a gangster in Hong Kong. Why should he give it to others..."

As soon as this strange article was published, it immediately attracted great attention in Hong Kong.

People at the top still have to worry about their own status, and they can't express their opinions clearly. But do the people at the bottom have so much control?

mmp! Even if it’s a computer sickness, it’s still a win for Hong Kong! Didn’t you see that the old ghost is already howling like a ghost? Besides... we have already given up such a lonely person!

Can it cause trouble for the devil? No matter what method is used, most Hong Kong people still feel secretly happy. Anyway, Brother Yuan is the one who is causing trouble to those foreign devils, so it will be fine!

The Western media finally discovered Li Yuan's identity and linked those identities together.

Lie down!

He is a historian and has published several controversial military history books;

He is an entrepreneur. In just a few years, he went from a mountain man in mainland China with nothing to a wealthy man who owns a listed company;

He is an adventurer and dares to fight against international refugee organizations in Africa;

He is also a programmer and hacker. Not only did he recently create the computer virus Dandelion, but he also developed a detection software before. I heard that he contributed to the detection of the "5 billion US dollar bank case" and was received by the FBI.

and other awards from the judiciary...

If it is a single item, it will only arouse some curiosity at most. But if everything is put on one person? This is extremely newsworthy. Who is not full of curiosity?

The most famous one is "The Tonight Show":

Amid the exclamations, the program played a collection of all the previous scenes of Li Yuan.

Amid laughter, the host Laino commented: "Sorry, I didn't associate this Chinese Li with me before. The contrast is a bit big. Could it be multiples?" (Laughter)

The camera turned and a scene of Martin being interviewed appeared:

"Are you asking about the villain? I admit that he did make the dandelion. This was his prank on fido."

"Why is computer disease spreading? Shouldn't such fun things be shared?"

"He is a complete villain! Damn Hun Dan! And he is also a rat hiding in the gutter. Thank you reporters for your help, allowing this Hun Dan to reveal his true identity..."

"Wait a minute, you seem to have a lot of resentment towards Li."

"We prefer to call him a villain! Almost everyone on our bbs wants to beat him up."

"Sorry, I still don't understand. Has Li ever offended you?"

"Miss reporter, I suggest you get to know Li personally. You will find out how hateful he is and how much he deserves to be beaten..."

"..."

Amidst the laughter, the scene returned to host Laino: "We seem to have witnessed an internal conflict between a group of hackers." (Laughter)

"I thought our TV shows were the only ones attacking each other. Motherfucker CBS, motherfucker ABS, oh, and those idiots at the top of NBC! Don't you fucking think about deducting my pay!" (laughing)

"Have all those computer nerds learned to quarrel?" (hilarious)

"Is there hope for our future in America?" (Laughs)

"Sorry, there is a small mistake here. Li is a Chinese. Aren't the Chinese all weaklings? Why do you nerds bully him?" (Laughs. This is the inherent impression that Europeans and Americans have on Chinese people.

)

In the program, it immediately switched to the scene of Li Yuan at the press conference:

"Don't all men like this... No, no. That's called art appreciation!" (hilarious)

"Uh... these are things between adults." (hilarious)

"Please forgive me. I am still a naive child." (Continuous laughter)

Laino suppressed a bad smile and exaggerated his expression: "Wow——!"

The program ended with laughter and applause...

…

As in the past, there was an uproar abroad, but there was no panic at home.

Regarding the computer disease Dandelion, except for professional reports in a few computer publications in China, there is no tidbits at all, and there is no publicity effect.

Even those professional reports quoted the transliterated names of foreign media. They didn't even know whether Li Yuan was Chinese.

In the era before the Internet, domestic and foreign countries were indeed far apart, as if they were two very strange worlds. And the influence of computer disease was even more negligible. There were not even a few personal computers in the country.

As for the subsequent effects of dandelions?

It should be said that this era is quite tolerant of young hackers. Aren't they just a group of young people who like to mess around? They are still a group of children!

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! So when the lawyer took the initiative to contact the Los Angeles judicial department and reached a settlement agreement, he finally received a fine of $1,500. To be honest, it was better to spend it.

How much does a lawyer cost?

Let me explain: This $1,500 fine is not because of computer sickness, but for those three purely natural art photos. After all, there will always be some punishment for spreading that stuff. And computer sickness? Let's just call it a fart.

!

Of course, just when the settlement agreement was reached, the U.S. headquarters of Parallel Network Technology was established in a very low-key manner in Orange County, Los Angeles, and a local law firm was signed as soon as possible.

Everyone knows this routine, and this law firm was privately recommended by the judicial department.

However, in this new headquarters, today we welcomed...the second employee.

"Hello, Martin. My name is Erna. I am the sales manager here." Erna warmly welcomed her new colleague.

"Hello." Martin looked at the empty building doubtfully.

Elna couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Martin, there are really only two of us now. You are the technical department manager."

Martin couldn't help but uttered a curse word: "Farke, we are all managers? What about the employees? Where are the villains? I've already resigned!"

Elna shrugged: "You should call Li boss from now on. Just because of the $1,000 weekly salary?"

"Okay, okay! I like dollars. Even if that soul is a villain! But can you tell me what kind of work we should do?"

"Sorry, even I don't know." Elna rolled her eyes, "I only know that the boss of Parallel Line is Li. The company has dual headquarters in China and the United States. Both of our weekly salaries have increased to $1,000.

.Plus, I don’t have to worry about those disgusting chicken feet anymore.”

"Chicken feet? What do you mean?"

"that is……"

While the two were talking, lawyer Huo Laien ran in excitedly, holding a large stack of information in his hand: "Elna. And, hello young man, you should be Martin, right? This is

The information just sent by the boss. As the legal director of Parallel Line, you need to sign this confidentiality agreement first."

"...Okay. Now according to the boss's request, we will start promoting the Parallel Line Browser."

"Wait a minute, Lawyer Huo Laien. Are there just the three of us?"

"Of course it's impossible. Haha. To be more precise, it's just the two of you."

"Damn it! That villain is a soulless, son-of-a-bitch capitalist."

"Tornado Knight, I suggest you praise our boss in person. Haha. But don't worry, have you seen such a big office space? As long as you make achievements, employees will get it, bonuses will be there, and even incentive stock options will be there.

There will be. By the way, these are the boss’s exact words.”

"Fake, why don't I believe a word you say?"

"Martin, have you signed the contract?"

"I fucking signed it."

"That's no problem. Friendly reminder: Please look at the figure for liquidated damages again. Haha."

"Fuck!"

"..."

…

After the Dandelion incident, Li Yuan immediately established the Parallel Lines US headquarters.

There is a very important problem in the promotion of browsers - if there is no browser, how can users download the browser?

For computer IT experts, it may be possible to achieve it through a series of complex operations. But for ordinary users, this becomes a question similar to which came first, the chicken or the egg.

Therefore, it can only be promoted internally through the Internet. Of course, it can also be made into an installation floppy disk and sold through a sales company. However, the sales cost of the latter method is quite high.
To be continued...
