Xiaomi Heavy Industry, its first entrepreneurial venture!

Chapter 476 The Eavesdropping Scandal! (Second Update!)

Thinking about the potential consequences for his boss, Zhang Yiming didn't dare to delay. He quickly took the phone from Han Shunfa, turned around, and went back to his office to start arranging work.

"The finance department will allocate funds to purchase 100 iPhone 4s from the market. Our current software is only running on our own working platform, and we will need to adapt it next."

"Be careful when buying, so you don't buy the wrong one."

"Whatever you do, don't buy smuggled goods from Japan or other countries. Whoever buys smuggled goods will have to pay for them!"

"Everyone else, get ready. As soon as the machines arrive, we'll start working immediately. We need to adapt our software to the Apple platform in the shortest possible time. We're going to make big money."

After assigning the task, Zhang Yiming still couldn't forget his earlier doubts. After thinking for a long time, he finally took out his phone, walked to a corner, and called Lin Yi.

The call connected, and he remained silent for a long time. Just as Lin Yi was about to hang up, he finally asked the question that had been on his mind:

"Boss, why won't you let us use the prototype for testing?"

“Under normal circumstances, prototypes are more prone to problems and easier to reproduce. It is also more convenient to make adjustments using prototypes.”

"I really don't understand..."

After a long pause, Lin Yi calmly said on the other end of the phone, "You'll know once you play some games with these demo units and the phones on the market."

After a long period of psychological work, Zhang Yiming received this answer, but his doubts were not resolved. However, since Lin Yi had provided a direction, he decided to follow it.

You'll know after playing the game for a couple of days.

On the other side, Lin Yi put down the phone, slowly picked up the iPhone 4 demo unit on the table, and examined it carefully in his hand.

This thing is still the most profitable.

What we need to do now is to increase production capacity and expand the global reach of Apple and Xiaomi phones. Once that's achieved, the software can be automatically deployed.

Once the software is available, the telecommunications companies will find their own ways to upgrade it.

The next era will be the era of short videos for everyone.

Word descriptions are ultimately too limited; short videos are much more interesting and have a greater impact.

The thought of those die-hards from certain sects taking out their phones in their spare time, posing for the camera, posting the video online, and then browsing other sects' nuns makes Lin Yi want to laugh.

After laughing for a while, he put down the prototype and was about to pour himself a cup of tea and put it in the drawer. The cell phone he used to contact Eisente suddenly rang.

Several ringing sounds stopped Lin Yi from going to pour tea. He opened the drawer, took out his phone, and frowned subconsciously after seeing the message from Eisent.

【Are you there? 】

[Reply to this message if you're online!]

[Fine, I'll just send you my requirements!]

We need a listening device that is very small, can be implanted in a mobile phone, and is so small that even if someone deliberately disassembles it, they will not be able to detect what's inside. We need a large quantity of these devices.

[Remember to send me a message after you see the request!]

Hurry!

Bug?
Upon seeing this word, a hint of doubt flashed through Lin Yi's mind. The number one ancestor of eavesdropping in this world should be America.

America has a specialized department to manufacture these parts, and also a specialized department to conduct wiretapping.

Normally, the CIA provides a complete service for this kind of thing.

It shouldn't be exposed, much less fall on Eisent's head, and certainly not on my head.

Moreover, it's in large quantities.

What is Eisente trying to do?

Lin Yi wanted to send a message immediately to ask for clarification, but when his fingers touched the keyboard, he stopped.

Eisent said he was in a hurry, so I should leave him hanging for a while and send him a message later. That way, I can take advantage of his anxiety to get some information out of him.

This massive deployment of listening devices suggests something big is about to happen over there.

So, Lin Yi waited in the office for about an hour and twenty minutes, holding his phone, before leisurely taking it out to send a message to Eisent:
[Mr. Eisent, intentionally manufacturing eavesdropping equipment is illegal in Japan. If it is leaked, the penalties are severe. I cannot take this job.]

Furthermore, wiretapping is against my personal ethics, so I urge Mr. Eisent to refrain from such activities.

【Arigato!】

Eisent on the other end seemed to be in a state of being both anxious and unannounced. He sounded very anxious in his message, but it took him a good ten minutes to send the message back.

However, the moment Lin Yi saw the message, he knew he had misunderstood Eisent because he had typed a very long message.

We are fighting for world peace; we are bringing freedom and democracy to the world. As a fighter in the camp of freedom and democracy, you must help us, help us accomplish this great cause! Upon completing this great cause, your morality, like your skills, will be greatly enhanced…

The message was so long that Lin Yi seriously doubted whether he would ever finish reading it if his life were any shorter.

After staring at the lengthy message for a long time, Lin Yi slowly moved his fingers to the keyboard and began to send a message:

I...I at least need to know if I'm on the side of justice.

At the very least, let it be something that my morals can accept!

Perhaps because he had persuaded Lin Yi, Eisent started replying to messages much faster.

In just one minute, he replied to five or six messages.

[Let me tell you some information that I can share with you!]

Some time ago, our soldiers captured Gaddafi in Beniwald, Libya. After a fierce gun battle, one of our two squads was wiped out, while the other squad brought Gaddafi back.

[After DNA comparison, we confirmed that the person we brought back was not Gaddafi, but his double.]

To prevent this scourge from escaping, we have strengthened our defenses and deployed a large number of personnel in Libya and neighboring countries.

Ultimately, we found some intelligence about Gaddafi.

However, it was a large, primitive tribe with a large population, and they were very fierce.

We cannot get close, but this tribe recently wanted to buy a batch of Nokia phones.

We contacted the seller and, using some methods, managed to intercept this batch of goods.

Now, we need people to install listening devices on this shipment.

To avoid alerting the enemy, we cannot intercept this shipment for more than 120 hours.

We need to install eavesdropping devices on the 1200 mobile phones we intercepted within 120 hours.

Time was too tight; none of the people we knew could finish it. And then I thought of you!

I need you; the free and democratic world needs you!

After reading the message, Lin Yi raised his right hand and gently rubbed his temples. The topic had jumped so suddenly that his brain was momentarily overloaded.

The Americans claim to be warriors of a free nation, and there is no doubt about that; that's what the Americans have been promoting.

The only thing he didn't understand was the capture of Gaddafi.

After all, not long ago, after capturing Gaddafi, the NATO coalition held a press conference and confidently declared that they had captured Gaddafi.

How come once we get here, they're saying the Gaddafi they captured was a fake?
Furthermore, was it really necessary to conduct wiretapping just to capture Gaddafi?

When Americana arrived, she shoved gun barrels right in people's faces and commanded the world. Who dared to disobey?
With a sigh, Lin Yi began editing a message for the other party again:

Since it's about Gaddafi, then Mr. Eisent, please send me the specific requirements and project budget, and I will produce a design as soon as possible.

Similarly, I need you to ship these items to China because, to my knowledge, only Xiaomi Heavy Industry can install eavesdropping devices on such a large number of mobile phones in such a short time without being detected.

【I'll make the contact; Mr. Eisent, you just need to deliver the item.】

[Of course, for security reasons, the equipment to be installed should be called a positioning device, used to enhance satellite signals. Mr. Eisent, your people must make this clear when transporting the equipment, and don't let anything slip.]

After sending the message, Lin Yi sat down on the sofa next to him and closed his eyes to rest. At the same time, he was thinking about who these bastards were trying to give the listening devices to by suddenly installing so many phones.

After much thought, he realized that the other party's target was most likely Hezbollah in Lebanon.

Because in their past lives, they really suffered because of what Israel did.

After several rounds of phone calls, most of these people were dead.

Thinking of this, he subconsciously took out his phone, wanting to contact Sadr Jr. and ask him to spread the news.

But when he touched the phone screen, he still didn't make the call.

Let's wait and see. The situation is still unclear.

If he spreads this news himself, and the Americans discover something is wrong and try to investigate, he's doomed.

So let's wait, let's wait a few more days, and then we'll talk about it.

…………

Al Udeid Air Base, Qatar.

Benjamin's brow furrowed as he looked at the information Eisent presented, his expression resembling the Himalayas, because he saw another familiar name on it—Xiaomi Heavy Industries.

"Why is it them again? Doesn't Adolf own any factories?" he asked, voicing his doubts.

Across from him, Eisent shrugged innocently: "General, although I hate to admit it, at present, the only factory we can directly contact without fail is the one that can guarantee both quality and speed."

"As for Adolf, I seriously suspect that he just hired a few people to draw the drawings, and the rest is just a shell company."

"We need to act quickly now; if we delay any longer, there won't be enough time."

Hearing that there wasn't enough time, Benjamin instinctively flinched, but he quickly regained his composure from a short while ago.

Holding the pen, he casually wrote down the name, then handed the list to Eisent:
"Remember, be quick!"

After Eisent left, Benjamin took a document from the drawer, opened it, and began to read it again.

Following the Battle of Beniwald, the CIA, in conjunction with the Africa Command, screened all personnel on the ground and thoroughly cleaned their faces.

After careful verification, all information regarding the gold pointed to Gaddafi's former bodyguard captain, Damira.

This man was Gaddafi's weapon, killing many high-ranking officials and ordinary citizens who opposed him; his body has never been found.

Therefore, intelligence officials have reason to conclude that Damira knew the extent of Gaddafi's family's wealth and was involved in Gaddafi's energy gold relocation program.

Therefore, to find that gold, the first step is to find Damira.

Turning the page, a new page appears, entirely dedicated to Damira.

Damira Kentria, an Algerian, smuggled himself from Algeria to Libya in his early years. He joined the Libyan army and distinguished himself during one of Gaddafi's inspections, leading to his inclusion in Gaddafi's personal guard.

Over a long period of time, Damira gradually rose to become the captain of Gaddafi's personal guard...

Based on the above information, the intelligence team makes the following inferences.

Damira personally hid the gold, but perhaps due to a dispute over the division of the spoils, a conflict arose between Damira and Gaddafi, and Damira betrayed Gaddafi...

On September 18, intelligence indicated that Damira had briefly appeared in the Constantine region of Algeria and spoke with a local imam.

After their conversation, Damira disappeared into the mountains surrounding Constantine.

On September 20th, Damira appeared in the Gelma region east of Constantine, and one of the tribes began training after he left...

On September 29, 1800 Nokia mobile phones were seized in Spain, confirmed to have been purchased in the eastern region of Constantine, Algeria…

Having read this far, Benjamin put down the documents and began gently massaging his temples.

Because of 1000 tons of gold, and because of this unknown guy, people in the European theater, the African theater, and their central theater are now working overtime, frantically searching for his whereabouts.

Now, they've finally found the other party, but because the other party has fled to Algeria, they can't use the military and can only use the CIA.

It's annoying!
With a sigh, Benjamin gathered the documents on the table, stuffed them into the safe, and turned to leave with his hat.

On the other side, Eisent also finished organizing the data and sent the rest to "Adolf," who was Lin Yi.

At this moment, Lin Yi was staring blankly at the documents in his hand.

"A mobile phone intercepted in Spain bound for Algeria?"

"The buyer of the phone is a veteran terrorist!"

"The purpose of doing all this is to eavesdrop on the terrorists' movements, then catch them and kill them?"

"No way, is this some kind of fucking scam? A tribe systematically becoming a terrorist organization?"

"What were the causes, the process, and the result?"

"It's impossible for him to suddenly turn evil, right?"

As he was talking to himself, his phone chimed; Eisent had sent him another new message.

Remember, they hate hand-woven carpets!
