Chapter 382 Who is the storm?
"Nani? The University of Science and Technology of China is going to hold a press conference?"
Hearing these words from Nakajo Yukihiro.
Kyouichiro Tokuda, who originally wanted to scold him for acting in a hurry, was suddenly stunned.
After regaining consciousness, his body suddenly straightened:
"Where did the news come from? Is it reliable?"
Gulu.
Nakajo Yukihiro looked at his boss with some fear, quickly lowered his head and said respectfully:
"President, the official Weibo, Douyin account, public account and official website of the University of Science and Technology have all released this announcement."
Tokuda Kyouichiro thought for a while and asked:
"When does it start?"
"Tomorrow at 9:30 a.m. China time."
"Tomorrow morning?"
Tokuda Kyouichiro frowned slightly and touched his chin in confusion.
Needless to say, the purpose of the press conference held by HKUST at this time was obviously related to Xu Yun and Huadun Biotech.
Just
Where do they get the confidence?
Just rely on a Mersenne prime?
This is obviously impossible.
Could it be that he has solved another problem that troubles China and is convinced that it is enough to clear Xu Yun's name?
For example, controlled nuclear fusion?
Or a photolithography machine?
Or maybe he invented a little black room that allows writers to make 20,000 yuan a day?
Tuk tuk tuk——
Tokuda Kyouichiro's index finger slowly tapped on the table. After half a minute, he looked at Nakajo Yukihiro again:
"Nakajo-san, is there any news from the intelligence department?"
The intelligence department of Neon Enterprise is equivalent to the domestic strategic research department, but the title is more straightforward and it is a member of the foreign affairs department system.
Aspen Pharmaceuticals is not a particularly large pharmaceutical company, and its intelligence department is not as exaggerated as commercial espionage.
However, because the club opened a branch factory in Tianjin in the last century, its news channels in the mainland are relatively well-connected.
Hearing Tokuda Kyouichiro's words, Nakajo Yukihiro at the table bent even lower:
"President, we only heard that HKUST has invited many media to attend, but there is nothing else we can do."
Kyouichiro Tokuda was silent for a moment after hearing this, and rarely got angry:
"I understand, thank you for your hard work, Nakajo-san, please go out first."
Upon hearing this, Nakajo Yukihiro straightened his hands and placed them on both sides of his thighs:
"Hai!"
After Yukihiro Nakajo leaves.
Kyouichiro Tokuda looked at the webex conference room again and found that no one was bubbling in it.
Then he thought about it, and just to be on the safe side, he sent Corinna a message:
[Ms. Corinna, I would like to excuse you, have you heard about the HKUST press conference? 】
A few minutes passed.
Corinna sent a reply:
[It has been learned that although Mr. Tokuda is relieved that everything is normal on the execution side, he has stepped up public opinion and strives to make the press conference stink before it even starts]
Saw this reply.
Kyouichiro Tokuda's heart suddenly relaxed.
Advion Company, where Corinna works, and Bayer, where Adams Boronnat works, are the main leaders of this plan and are responsible for the specific implementation of the plan.
Although the remaining five companies also contributed money and efforts, the specific plans did not go through their hands.
If there is any link that will be 'leaked', then it can only be from Corinna and Adams Boronnat's side.
Now that Corinna dares to say that everything is normal at the execution end, it obviously means that she and Adams Boronnat have confirmed the situation once.
In other words.
The so-called press conference of HKUST is most likely a bluff.
Of course.
It is not ruled out that like Neon, he would bow like crazy and apologize at the press conference to ask for forgiveness.
Think of this.
Kyouichiro Tokuda stood up, patted both sides of his ribs with his palms, and exhaled a long breath.
Then he walked to a corner of the office and pulled out a samurai sword from a display cabinet.
Qiang——
I saw Kyouichiro Tokuda holding the handle of the knife with both hands and flying randomly in the air a few times.
Like a Yamato samurai, using the Iai Slash seems to cut a non-existent enemy into several pieces.
"Yo Xi, seven foreign companies versus one Chinese company, how can they lose if the public opinion is so confusing?"
In fact.
It was not only Tokuda Kyouichiro who was surprised by this news, but also many netizens on Chinese social media.
half an hour ago.
The official Weibo and public accounts of the University of Science and Technology simultaneously sent out a message:
[Please watch here if you want to eat melons. Tomorrow at 9:30 a.m., HKUST will hold a press conference to refute the rumors. It will be broadcast simultaneously on Station B, Douyin, and public accounts. Welcome to forward it! #科大报#】
The melon-eating party and Xu Yun's 'friendly troops' were naturally very excited when they saw the news. It's not too big a deal to watch the excitement.
But those Internet explosion parties are different.
When almost all the netizens saw the entry #UST press conference#, an emoticon of an environmentally friendly girl appeared in their hearts:
howdareyou?
How dare HKUST?
"Are you holding a press conference at this time to deceive others as fools, for example, 'After detailed investigation, Xu Yun, a student of our school, has not done anything XXX. I hope everyone will not believe the rumors and spread them.'"
“HKUST doesn’t think that Xu Yun has solved a mathematical problem and can now make a comeback, right?”
"It's really funny. Character belongs to character, and talent belongs to talent. What about talent but no virtue?"
"This deserves to be a C9 university, it really sucks"
"People are shameless and invincible!"
In an instant.
A lot of criticism poured in.
Even without the push of Corinna and others, the netizens pushed the number of comments on Weibo of HKUST’s announcement of the press conference to 110,000.
To know.
Even for someone not long ago, the last Weibo post before his account was blocked only had 340,000 comments - many of which were messages from idiot fans who firmly believed that their brother was innocent.
Later, based on the analysis of GowingIO, an authoritative third-party data platform.
At that time, there were more than 80,000 comments from users who were fans of Fengfeng Weibo, which means there were about 260,000 comments from people who complained about Fengfeng.
Now, the number of comments on HKUST’s Weibo has been close to half of Fengfeng’s original number.
To some extent.
Can it be considered as a mortal, comparable to gods?
But this is normal.
Because this approach of the University of Science and Technology has touched the bottom line of the Internet explosion party.
Their logic is actually very simple and can be divided into three points:
1. I can blast you online.
2. You cannot fight back.
3. I don’t believe the rumors in words.
In the past ten years, including officials, only three standard rumor-refuting press conferences have been held.
One was a press conference held by the Civil Aviation Administration after the China Eastern Airlines crash, which refuted some rumors spread on the Internet.
The other two scenes are more sensitive, so I won’t go into details here.
Other than that.
At most, they are briefings on the situation in some risk-controlled areas and refuting rumors, focusing on maintaining stability.
Then it's gone.
Yes.
There are no other examples.
The rest of the officials and artists only issued notices or announcements after being exposed by the Internet for spreading rumors.
This is true for the officials and celebrities, let alone the high school.
For example, August 21.
At that time, the murder of a graduate student in Lanzhou became a hot topic on the Internet and became the focus of the moment.
The tragedy had already occurred, but just as everyone was grieving for the death of this innocent student, some people directed the incident to Lanzhou University, which had nothing to do with the incident.
At that time, Lanzhou University was exposed on the Internet for a whole week, but the school still could only issue an announcement to refute the rumors.
Because for victims of cyber violence.
Firstly, the press conference requires sufficiently convincing evidence. Secondly, it also represents a ceaseless fight against cyberbullying and rumor-mongering parties, and is much more formal in nature.
Therefore, considering the impact of the incident and the interests involved, most units or artists will generally not choose to "whitewash" through press conferences.
What they usually do is to post announcements, ban people, and then see if there is any chance to buy some negative material from other peers and make it popular on hot searches to attract firepower.
Generally, after a week or two, the fever will subside.
Now, the University of Science and Technology not only dares to choose to fight back, but even dares to hold a public press conference. Where does this put the 'dignity' of those Internet blasters?
at the same time.
Inside the HKUST Cyber Security Center.
"Principal Zhang, Dean Tian."
Wang Qingchen skillfully blocked an attack source, raised his head and said to Zhang Rui and Tian Liangwei:
"This is already the 43rd round of attacks since the notice was issued. The trend can clearly see the evolution from individual customer behavior to organized attacks, but the method is not easy to determine who is specific."
Upon seeing this, Zhang Rui looked at Tian Liangwei and said with some emotion:
"It seems that our enemy is not prepared to give us a chance to counterattack. Xiao Wang, can you withstand it?"
Wang Qingchen pushed back a strand of his long hair and smiled confidently. He looked like he was going to say a domineering line like "You're the one who betrays me" in the next second:
"No problem. Compared with the last attack we encountered, the intensity of this time is nothing."
The last time Wang Qingchen was talking about was the cyber attack encountered on the day when ‘One Mantis Killer’ was launched for sale. If the National University of Science and Technology had not passively provided a helping hand, the network security system of the National University of Science and Technology might have been breached.
So after that attack was over.
Wang Qingchen and Xiao Rong, who was recruited by Xu Yun, upgraded the security system of the University of Science and Technology, and the defense effect was improved by several levels.
In addition, King Qingchen and others are already prepared to be attacked by hackers, so they can deal with those attacks calmly at this time.
Seeing that Wang Qingchen's tone didn't sound like he was trying to be brave, Zhang Rui breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he pondered for a moment, and a trace of determination flashed in his eyes:
"Now that the rear is secure, Xiao Wang, let's add fire to those Internet bombing gangs and try to get more fish out."
Wang Qingchen was slightly startled when he heard this.
After coming back to his senses.
A flush of excitement suddenly appeared on his face, and the hand holding the mouse trembled a little:
"Principal Zhang, do you want to start now?"
As the current person in charge of network security at the University of Science and Technology, Wang Qingchen is an important link that cannot be avoided in the entire plan.
Therefore, he knows very well what plan Zhang Rui refers to as "a fire", and he also knows the meaning of this fire:
In Chinese medicine, there is a conflict between cold and heat. Removing the cold rashly will lead to heart fire attacks, making the situation worse.
Therefore, if you want to treat this disease, you must first let the fire burn completely, so that after the fire passes, you can safely treat it.
What HKUST has to do this time is to add more firewood to the fire.
To preempt its destruction, you must first make it crazy.
Looking at Wang Qingchen who looked expectant, Zhang Rui nodded again:
"It's almost time, let's get started."
Wang Qingchen quickly suppressed his inner excitement and quickly entered a command on the keyboard.
Three minutes later.
Some Weibo users who have been paying attention to the Xu Yun incident suddenly discovered a situation:
Don't know why.
When the Xu Yun scumbag incident was first exposed, the 'victim' who has been crying about Xu Yun's bad deeds every day these days [Who can save me from the clutches of the devil], Weibo, Yin, and Xiaohongshu accounts were banned at the same time!
Another blogger who claimed that his pet cat died after accidentally eating ‘One Mantis’, [Tiaotiao wants to eat well], also had a reminder on his Weibo status:
[According to community standards, this user is banned].
Within a few minutes of each other, the two 'victims' lost their right to speak.
From the perspective of passers-by, it looks like.
HKUST is ready to flip the table.
However, although the accounts of the two 'victims' have been blocked, a large number of certified Vs have expressed their opinions during the Internet explosion in the past few days.
A small number of them appealed for reason, and some of them dissed Xu Yun, but their words were not that extreme.
The rest are quite extreme, spraying Xu Yun and HKUST from top to bottom, and there are many cases where people are tricked into opening the box.
Those extreme accounts have also received the attention of a large number of Internet explosion parties.
The Weibo comment area has become a base for information exchange, and some people even built a crowd of thousands to organize bombings in a planned manner.
And these big v accounts often spread the news of some incident developments as soon as possible.
So soon.
A certified V with the Weibo name "What should I do if I am hungry" took the lead in posting a piece of content:
[Haha, I’m laughing. While the University of Science and Technology issued an announcement saying that it would hold a press conference to refute the rumors, telling everyone to eat melon tomorrow, it also deleted and banned the accounts of the two victims. More than 400,000 forwarded Weibo posts disappeared in an instant. He is indeed a scumbag. My alma mater, USTC suggested changing it to Tadadaao, Tadpole’s tadpole. 】
With the blessing of the topic.
The number of comments on this Weibo exceeded 1,000 within fifteen minutes.
Then three thousand and five thousand
The number of retweets quickly exceeded 10,000.
The 'sacrifice' of the two accounts [Who can save me from the clutches of the devil] and [Tiaotiao wants to eat well] instantly pushed the Internet explosion emotion that had already reached its peak due to the HKUST press conference to an even higher peak.
Various conspiracy theories and rumors emerged one after another, and then one or two V accounts that paid attention to this matter were deleted.
It didn't take long.
This news also spread to the ‘Operation Departments’ of seven foreign companies.
Students with good memory should remember it.
Another thing has been mentioned before:
Considering the possible response measures of HKUST, several major foreign companies have prepared a batch of funds to block HKUST's de-emphasis on the topic.
Unexpectedly, in the past few days, HKUST had no intention of controlling the evaluation and reducing the authority, so this money was saved.
See this situation.
The Operations Department, which was originally prepared to use public opinion to completely crush the University of Science and Technology, issued a brand new order without any hesitation:
Transfer the funds originally prepared to fight against the demotion to the public opinion account, and then.
Increase the intensity!
Ever since.
With the knife music in place.
A large number of big V accounts that had not appeared before started to raise their voices with "righteous indignation".
They are like huge waves in a storm, layer upon layer, covering the sky and the sun, and one after another they hit the seawall on the shore.
But these giant waves didn't know it.
The storm they rely on actually comes from
HKUST!
that's all.
The long night passed quickly.
The time has finally arrived.
The day of the HKUST press conference. (End of chapter)
