Rebirth 2010: I taught Mr. Lei how to make a mobile phone

Chapter 636 A Letter Named "Evil"

The key to this war of public opinion has never been to convince the other side, but whoever wins over the majority of neutral and silent people first will take the initiative.

The war of public opinion is only a local battlefield. Bi'an finally used the ultimate killer move - 10 billion cash subsidies to confront head-on. At the same time, Bi'an Search's official Weibo account simultaneously stated, "For this subsidy activity, we would like to make a special statement: if the other party continues to increase the amount, we will provide equal subsidies and will not issue any subsequent announcements to deal with it."

The two sides are in a stalemate in various dimensions, including the public opinion field and the subsidy war, and neither side is willing to give in.
On April 4, Baidu's data gap strategy was quietly launched.
Two hours later, the technical team of Bi'an Search discovered an abnormality because nearly half of the newly captured content pages were full of garbled characters and were completely unusable. Fortunately, the early warning mechanism played an interception role and the page was not exposed to users.

After some analysis, the technical team found out that it had been encrypted by the other party.

"The other party has encrypted the data stream." Dai Wenyuan looked grim. "It will take us at least 72 hours to crack it."

After receiving the feedback, Chen Mo asked Xu Chaojun to coordinate with the "Information Special Operations Team" that had previously hacked Didi and Meituan to provide cracking support, and at the same time follow suit to encrypt the information source of their own platform.

But, this takes time.

For three whole days, the search results of Bi'an remained at the data section of April 4.

The next day, Baidu apparently also noticed the opponent's technical counterattack, and the two sides immediately launched a more covert network and data attack and defense.

As a result, the market share of Bi'an Search fell for the first time, from a peak of 35% to 28%.
According to the forecast of iResearch, a professional data statistics organization, if this continues, China's Internet search market will eventually develop into a structure of one large and three small ones.

Late at night on the last day of April, in a rental house in Beijing.

In the darkness, the cold light of the mobile phone reflected a gray face.

Thinking of the words "palliative care to improve the patient's quality of life" on the last diagnosis report, Wei Zexi showed a smile that was uglier than crying.

Before he fell ill, his dream was to get a job at the other side after graduation.

After he fell ill, his only thought was to survive.

Until now, he just wanted to die quickly but he was reluctant to do so!

With a sigh, the young man endured the pain and typed with his pale fingertips on his mobile phone.
“After thinking for a long time, I decided to write it down. However, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble for my family, I will not mention the name of the hospital or the doctor. However, cancer patients should be able to understand what I am saying.

I hope my story can help more people avoid being deceived - for those of us with cancer, the cost of being deceived is too heavy.
During my sophomore year, I was diagnosed with a malignant tumor.

From then on, a nightmare-like treatment journey began: surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy. Every treatment made me feel worse than death, but I had to grit my teeth and persevere in order to survive.

Cancer hospitals in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and other places have all come to the same conclusion: there is no hope.

Finally, we contacted a company online who said they had great things to say: "Our technology is developed in collaboration with Stanford, and the efficiency is as high as 90%. In your case, it will last for years."

I specifically checked the information again - it appeared on programs of authoritative TV stations many times, and more than once.

The endorsement of Stanford technology, efficiency of up to 90%, etc. made me let down my last bit of vigilance.

A few days later we arrived in Beijing
Three months and 20 yuan. All I got in return was the bad news that the cancer cells had spread and metastasized.

When we contacted them again, their original rhetoric changed to "individual differences" and "probability issues". They had never made any guarantees to anyone, but they still wanted us to continue, saying that more treatments might show results.

At that moment I realized that human nature could be so evil.
Later, through searching on the other side of the ocean, Zhihu, and even asking foreign classmates to search on Google, I found out that the technology that has been eliminated abroad is brought to China and packaged as the so-called "latest international technology" to carry out various deceptions.

The most ironic thing is that when I finally realized the truth, the best time for treatment had already been missed.

Now, I suffer from illness every day and watch my parents spend all their wealth on me and become increasingly haggard.

The saying "It is better to live a miserable life than to die a good death" is more like an irony to me now.

So, back to the original question, friends who have read this, what do you think is the greatest "evil" of human nature?
I think they are those people who use the banner of "saving the dying and the wounded" to take advantage of people's instinct for survival to commit fraud.

They carefully weave hope, only to better exploit despair.

When money becomes the only criterion for measuring life, angels will turn into demons.

How could they do this? How dare they do this?
Because they are so sure, and people like me who have a glimmer of hope in life will believe anything.”

The first day of the May holiday.

While people were immersed in the Labor Day holiday, a seemingly ordinary question on Zhihu, "What do you think is the greatest evil in human nature?" quietly fermented.

At first, this question was more about empathy and comfort on an emotional level.
"I just searched online and found a hospital to go to for a checkup. If I hadn't found a public hospital for a follow-up checkup later, it would have been horrible."

This case is like a boulder thrown into a calm lake.

Then, a netizen from Chengdu revealed that he found a specialist clinic for underarm odor through a search, and the official website stated that the fee was less than 1,000 yuan.

But 20 minutes into the project, the other party suddenly stopped the operation and asked the family to add two "necessary" projects. The final fee soared to 6000 yuan. Then more and more netizens came forward to expose their personal experiences, which aroused endless anger among netizens:
"Fuck, I've been tricked in the same place before! What's the difference between raising the price and kidnapping and extortion?"

"What's the difference between this and those scam ads on telephone poles a dozen years ago?"

"I am a practitioner in this field. I cannot explain the details, but I will add a little-known fact: the cost per click for medical bidding is very expensive. Who do you think will pay for it in the end?"

As the discussion heats up, more shocking cases come to light. It is inconvenient to elaborate on them. All I can say is that real-life cases are often colder and more exaggerated than novel plots.

As time goes by, public opinion becomes more and more intense.

This question continues to be on the hot list, with views and comments increasing rapidly.

Then it started to spread slowly from Zhihu.
During the rare leisure time, Chen Mo and Qi Mengmeng lazily curled up on the lazy sofa in the living room, each holding a mobile phone and browsing the web.

Qi Mengmeng was watching "China World" on a tablet, while Chen Mo was swiping the page of the workplace forum as usual. Suddenly, his eyes fixed and he opened Zhihu almost reflexively. The next moment, he stared at the top question on the screen.

His eyes swept over the shocking cases one after another, and his knuckles turned slightly white from excessive force.

"What's wrong?" Qi Mengmeng noticed something was wrong and moved closer to him with the ends of her hair brushing his cheek, but at this moment Chen Mo was like a cold statue and did not react at all.

Every new case that came to light was like a dull punch to the chest, causing Chen Mo to hold his breath unconsciously.

Although we knew the seriousness of the situation, when the silent majority finally broke their silence, these words written with blood and tears were more impactful than we had imagined.

"What a bunch of beasts!" He finally couldn't help cursing, with suppressed rage in his voice.

Qi Mengmeng beside him also had red eyes and nodded frantically, "He deserves to be killed, the death penalty will begin!"

That afternoon, an emergency video conference was connected.

"Progress of the medical aid fund?" Chen Mo's voice was as cold as ice.

Zhou Shouzi said: "The 10 billion fund is in place."

Dai Wenyuan immediately followed up without his boss's reminder and said, "The relevant systems have completed final testing and will be online on time on the first working day after the holiday."

"Chen Tong," Chen Mo called up the Zhihu page for that question, "Contact Zhou Yuan to verify the authenticity of these patients. Anyone who is still receiving treatment will be included in the first batch of aid lists." He paused for half a second, "Especially the questioner - focus on checking!"

"clear."

Dai Wenyuan suddenly interrupted: "Moss, when are we going to release this news?"

"Don't alert the enemy, lest they be prepared, release the news on the day of going online.

Since they don’t want to be human, let them die.”

"Yes!"

The meeting ended and the screens went dark one by one.

Chen Mo thought that once Chen Tong's list arrived and the 1 billion funds were in place, he would have a reason to send the poor young man to a better medical environment and receive treatment from top medical experts.
But, in the late stage of cancer, we should do our best and leave the rest to fate.
Chen Mo sighed.
During the May Day holiday, public opinion about the dispute between Bi'an and Baidu is still raging.

But this is no longer a problem that Wei Zexi cares about. He looks at the increasing number of replies to the questions he raised on Zhihu, and a gratified smile appears on his pale face.

These sharings and warnings may make many patients like me alert and avoid being deceived, and that is enough.

Nowadays, people are becoming more and more resistant to painkillers. It takes twice the standard dose to relieve pain, but the duration of the effect is also getting shorter and shorter.

These days, Wei Zexi has to swallow double the amount of painkillers every day to barely be able to go to a nearby Internet cafe.

"Fortunately, I chose computer science as my major in college. I didn't expect it would come in handy at this time," Wei Zexi said with a wry smile as he turned on the computer.

In fact, he is better at JAVA, but unfortunately he is already unable to master the code required for setting up the environment and functions. He can only resort to the ready-made WeChat developer tools - those plug-and-play small program components, which are simple and convenient.

Especially the newly launched smart voice module, which made him both grateful and sad - at least he can keep his voice in his parents' mobile phones forever.

He wanted to use the limited time he had to leave something behind.

Leave a thought for the parents, as if their son is still around
He spoke into the microphone with a gentle look in his eyes as if his parents were right in front of him.
"Dad, Mom"

“I’m here.”
