And just when Chen Nian concluded that "the United States is bound to launch an intelligence operation on metallic hydrogen," countless intelligence stumps on the Chinese mainland have indeed been put into action.
Chang'an, in an office that has obviously been decorated and renovated.
Liu Hai's face was full of high spirits. In the past year or so, he had made a lot of money by relying on the "human reselling" trend.
Everyone is staring at domestic talents and trying their best to send people from China to the United States to earn the immigration subsidies for talent introduction.
Only Liu Hai did the opposite. Through the relationships he had built up, he managed to recruit more than 30 dissatisfied researchers from the United States in one year.
Indeed, the level of these people is not too high.
It can even be said that some of them are considered personnel eliminated by the old and American.
But so what? In this era, a lot of foreign garbage is imported, but no one wants the foreigners?
"If your skills are not good, just squeeze out their experience. If you don't have any experience, it won't hurt if you ask him to be a talent reserve. Anyway, my fees are low, and all you have to negotiate is your own quotation."
This is Liu Hai's usual sales pitch, and facts have proven that this technique not only sounds good, but is actually practical.
For each person, he charges 10,000 yuan from the unit and 10,000 yuan from the talent.
And what he did was just take on the work of an intermediary, collect information, release it to those in need, and conduct bilateral communication at the same time.
In one year, he made a small two million - but he felt it was not enough.
He feels that there are still too many concerns about talents in the United States. If he can increase investment, increase publicity, and help these talents remove some obstacles to leaving the country and naturalizing, he will definitely be able to earn more.
Therefore, he has already started making preparations to go abroad and plans to go there to learn about the market in person.
But before he could officially leave, a special client suddenly came to his office.
A white man - a white man who speaks fluent Chinese.
"Mr. Liu Hai, long time no see."
The visitor had a smile on his face, and Liu Hai recalled this person's name after carefully searching the memory in his mind.
Bloomberg was once a colleague who worked in Senas' talent program like him.
Liu Hai had never seen him again since leaving Senas. He once thought that this man should have returned to China, but unexpectedly, he was still in China.
"Bloomberg. Your Chinese is becoming more and more fluent."
After hearing his words, Bloomberg laughed and replied:
"I practice Chinese every day, and it's normal to make progress - but what surprises me even more is 伱."
"I remember last year, I also noticed that you were doing headhunting for some small companies. To be honest, you looked very depressed."
"I didn't expect that you have already achieved this level in just one year."
Liu Hai shook his head gently and said with a humble attitude unique to Chinese people:
"It's just good luck."
After a pause, he continued to ask:
"Do you have any projects for you to come to see me today? Although I no longer do traditional headhunting work, but because of past friendship, I may be able to help you with some small favors."
In fact, the reason why Liu Hai remembers Bloomberg is that in addition to his English name which is almost the same as Chinese, another very important point is that Bloomberg is indeed comprehensive in terms of human relations and sophistication.
Although he didn't have much contact with him, in Liu Hai's impression, almost every time he interacted with him, he felt like a breath of fresh air.
And on several occasions, when he did encounter difficulties, he helped him more or less.
Liu Hai considers himself not a morally perfect person, but he will still repay favors that should be repaid.
A satisfied smile appeared on the face of Bloomberg opposite him. He put down his crossed legs, leaned forward slightly, looked into Liu Hai's eyes sincerely and said:
"Actually, I do need your help with something."
"And, I'm afraid only you can do this."
"Only I can do it? What do you mean?"
Liu Hai subconsciously sat up straight, with obvious doubts in his tone.
Is this guy going to poach people too? ——
It shouldn't be.
Colleagues are like enemies. Even if he wants to poach someone, theoretically he will not find him.
He wanted to continue asking, but the latter answered directly:
"I would like to ask you to go to the Western Materials Research Institute to help us find a researcher and help us get on the line with him."
"He is doing research on advanced energy materials, and my employer wants to poach him."
"I know you have contact with the Western Materials Research Institute. Some time ago, didn't you introduce an American named Desney to join their research project? Your interpersonal relationship should still be stable, right?"
"This task is very simple. Find him, ask him out, and meet with me."
"No matter whether it is successful or not, your consulting fee will be paid at 1% of the contract amount."
Hearing this, Liu Hai suddenly became energetic.
He immediately asked:
“How big is the contract?”
"The current offer is more than 6 million, and there may be room in the future."
"Six million? Just him?"
Liu Hai was shocked. For a moment, he suddenly felt that the agency fee of ten thousand dollars he charged was not too bad.
"Six million is not too much. As you know, my employer quotes prices in US dollars. In fact, if the impact of the tax rate is eliminated and the comprehensive price is leveled out, the talents you introduce will be very valuable to the employer." That said, the cost is not much different.”
Liu Hai nodded slightly, and after thinking about it carefully, this was actually true.
Take Daisney as an example. Although the total annual salary package offered to him by the Western Materials Research Institute is much lower than when he was in the United States, it is also based on the top salary for domestic researchers of the same level and level.
There is no way, what you are trying to achieve is the experience accumulation of foreign monks. Even if you take into account the major premise of China's scientific research development prospects, a small premium is still necessary.
Not to mention these research institutions, if we go back more than ten years, when domestic companies recruit foreign technicians, the premiums are also very high. The truth is actually the same.
Therefore, the overall offer given by Bloomberg is quite reasonable - at least, he can't see any hint of conspiracy in it.
It seems that this is a normal business cooperation?
After thinking for a moment, Liu Hai said:
"Bring me the contract and let me take a look at it. 60,000 yuan is indeed a lot to pay for an appointment with someone. If there are no problems, I will go and help you."
"no problem!"
Bloomberg took out a stack of information from his briefcase without any delay, and Liu Hai glanced at it. The contract elements were basically complete, the terms were professional and rigorous, and it was basically impeccable.
So, he didn't hesitate and signed his name on the paper.
“Happy to work with!”
“Happy to work with!”
The two looked at each other and smiled, holding their hands tightly.
"The other party's penetration speed is faster than we expected. In just one day, various research institutes have already reported various suspected information leaks."
"Poaching people, poaching the supply chain, placing Trojan horses, secretly filming, stealing... They really do everything they can."
"The cost makes me a little scared."
"It seems that they are really anxious. Even if they take out all the nails in their hands, they still have to determine the threat level in the shortest possible time."
"But fortunately, our early publicity has been quite good, and there has been no direct leakage so far."
"The data they get are basically inferred based on the raw material supply chain, power consumption, hydraulic press operation status, and spare parts replacement."
"The only regret is that they were able to pinpoint metallic hydrogen."
"It's hard to fool Americans. We put out so many smoke bombs to mislead them to the total nitrogen anion salt, but they didn't fall for it at all."
"It would be nice if they were that stupid. We don't have to put in so much effort and just beat the kids violently."
Hearing Chen Nian's words, Li Xiang couldn't help but laugh.
Then he continued:
"We also found an acquaintance on our list, guess who it is?"
"Acquaintance? How familiar?"
".If you want to say how familiar it is, it's really hard to answer."
"However, we have all dealt with him - bangs, do you remember?"
"The one who was the headhunter for Senas? I remember the Senas spy case at that time. He seemed to be implicated, right?"
"What, he's back to his old job?"
Chen Nian frowned. He actually didn't know how to evaluate this person.
Call him reactionary, but that's not enough. At best, he is just a profit-seeking businessman, a piece of grass swaying in the wind.
But it's even more impossible to say that you don't have any negative opinions about him.
In Chen Nian's case, he still maintains the image of worshiping foreigners and foreigners from the beginning, which is extremely unpleasant.
Looking at Chen Nian's expression, Li Xiang shook his head and replied:
"No, he suffered some losses before, so he should be regarded as um, he has corrected his evil ways."
"He has been in the talent introduction business for the past two years. He has stepped into the limelight and made a lot of money. His overall style has become more positive."
"However, he recently made a deal and inadvertently got involved with a US intelligence officer."
"The man's name is Bloomberg, and he is also a person related to Senas. He has been lurking with us for a long time. He has not done anything before. He surfaced this time just to dig up information from a core member of the laboratory."
"He was very impatient and handled it irritably. He didn't take it down."
"But our comrades are smart and have not been exposed, so the line has not been broken."
"I understand, you want to use bangs to spread false information?"
Chen Nian said thoughtfully.
He subconsciously went through the plan in his mind and found that there was indeed a way.
After all, Liu Hai's external trust is relatively high, and he is unaware of the entire intelligence activity. Using him as Huang Gai has a natural advantage.
Hearing Chen Nian's question, Li Xiang nodded.
"We currently have this idea, but it's hard to say how far it can be implemented."
"I'm telling you this because we need to evaluate the technical feasibility."
"We must provide some technical data to enhance the credibility of the intelligence. I would like to ask you to take the lead in screening this part of the data."
Li Xiang's expression was very serious. At this moment, he showed the qualities required of a professional intelligence officer.
Chen Nian thought for a moment and answered:
"We can provide pressure data, but without process support, it is impossible for them to achieve the same effect under the pressure we currently use."
"In addition, the data on production can basically be released - this is what they want most, but in fact, it is also the least necessary thing to keep secret."
"The industrial chain we designed is too long. No matter from any aspect, as long as end-to-end tracking can be achieved, it is not difficult to deduce our current output."
"There's no point in keeping it secretive. It's better to release it and confirm the accuracy of the intelligence source."
"But in this case, our deterrent - I understand, embedding existing data?"
Li Xiang suddenly realized in the middle of what he said. In fact, this was also one of the previous work directions of the intelligence department.
It's just that because the operation is relatively complicated, it is not considered as the first priority.
"As a result, the complexity of the plan increases. But leave it to us. You can just draw out the technical data."
Hearing his words, Chen Nian nodded.
He didn't intend to get involved too deeply. He found Li Xiang today actually for another matter.
Progress regarding Stuxnet, also known as Stuxnet.
"How is your infiltration in the South Island going?"
"It's basically completed. Electricity, gas, fuel, and transportation have all been deployed."
"If necessary, we can actually launch an attack now."
"What about airports? I mean, several major international airports."
Li Xiang immediately understood what Chen Nian was referring to, and when he thought of the aircraft carrier on the west side of the South Island that had been reported in recent days, his brows slowly wrinkled.
"Taoyuan is okay, Kaohsiung is okay, but they may not fall into these two."
"There are so many alternate landing sites that they might even use military airports as backup."
"Absolutely impossible."
Chen Nian shook his head firmly.
He understands the U.S.'s urinary nature very well. What they want to do is to do disgusting things, not things that really give China a handle.
Therefore, they will definitely choose civil aviation and civil airports.
Looking at Chen Nian's expression, Li Xiang had an idea.
"I understand. Basically, it can be done."
"In the worst case, there will be a massive power outage across the island. We can maintain it for at least 4 hours. Is that enough?"
"Four hours?"
Chen Nian looked at Li Xiang in surprise, and then a smile appeared on his lips.
"That must be enough"
"I hope this matter can be resolved in this way."
"But if it can't be solved, then we have to give them a little more intensity."
Li Xiang sighed slightly, he could feel Chen Nian's helplessness.
Stuxnet was originally an important chess piece in their follow-up actions, but now, it had to be launched early.
But from another perspective, maybe this is the best arrangement?
No matter how it develops, at least there are people in the United States who are doomed to be unlucky.
