“If anyone can tell me how to get close to the big bosses, I’ll give them five thousand yuan.”
Chen Feng didn’t waste time. Seeing the expressions of the bosses at dinner today, they would likely leave Hong Kong and return to mainland China soon, so he had to get close to them quickly.
Even a brief conversation with them would allow him to infer the reason for their gathering in Hong Kong.
“Five thousand yuan? Is that real?”
Everyone’s attention was immediately drawn by the five thousand yuan.
“Of course, it’s real. I want to know some insider information about these bosses to speculate on stocks.”
Chen Feng concealed his true intentions.
“Five thousand yuan?”
Everyone asked Chen Feng with disbelief.
Without further ado, Chen Feng took out five thousand yuan in cash from his pocket.
Seeing that Chen Feng actually had five thousand yuan in cash, the crowd stopped wasting time and began to voice their ideas.
However, Chen Feng rejected them all, as their methods were not feasible.
The members of the China Dragon and Tiger Association were all industry leaders in China, and such methods would never allow them to get close to these big bosses.
“Brother, I can help you get within one meter of these bosses,” a young man with glasses among the waiters said calmly.
Chen Feng glanced at the young man with glasses and immediately understood his identity.
He was a university student working part-time.
“If you really have a way to get me close to the bosses, I’ll cover your tuition fees from now on.”
Chen Feng got straight to the point.
“Brother, how did you know I’m a university student?”
The young university student asked, surprised.
“Because I also worked part-time in restaurants when I was in university.”
Chen Feng didn’t hide anything.
“Then, do you stand by your word?”
The young university student looked at Chen Feng seriously.
“You are a university student. When you enter society, the first lesson is to be able to discern good and bad people at a glance. Look at me carefully – am I a trustworthy person or not?”
Chen Feng said deliberately.
“Brother, I believe you.”
The young university student said with firm conviction.
“Tell me, from which small detail did you deduce that I am trustworthy?”
Chen Feng also asked with curiosity.
“Just by the fact that we were all fighting over leftovers of the delicacies, and you didn’t grab any, it’s enough to prove that you’re no ordinary person. You wouldn’t lower your standards for tens of thousands of yuan in tuition fees.”
The young university student replied calmly.
Hmm, it seems that university students in Hong Kong are as smart and agile as those in mainland China. With these smart and agile university students, China’s future is immeasurable.
“Tell me, how do you plan to let me meet these bosses?”
Chen Feng asked directly.
“These bosses are very cautious of unfamiliar faces. If I use conventional methods, I definitely won’t be able to get close to them. I can only use some underhanded means. To be honest, I don’t want to use underhanded means. But the problem is, these bosses are all famous figures in China. If we use normal means, two ordinary people like us can’t get close at all. There are so many scenes in the media of ordinary people interacting closely with business and political magnates. There can only be two possibilities. First, these are not ordinary people, but professional actors playing ordinary people, just to let everyone know that the bosses are enjoying themselves with the people. Another possibility is that these ordinary people have been thoroughly investigated beforehand and confirmed to be safe before being allowed to approach the bosses. Therefore, we can only deviate from the norm to get close to these bosses,” the young university student explained.
Chen Feng agreed wholeheartedly and motioned for the young university student to continue offering his opinions with a smile.
“Brother, after thinking about it, only the last possibility can allow you to break through the security distance with the bosses. This method, put simply, is not simple; put difficultly, it’s not difficult,” the young university student said, drawing out the suspense.
The young university student drew out the suspense not to tease Chen Feng, but just to make Chen Feng feel that his money was well spent.
“That’s great, continue,” Chen Feng signaled the young university student to go on.
“Brother, looking at your demeanor, it’s similar to mine. You should be from a science and engineering background. People from science and engineering backgrounds should be good at computers. My idea is that we join forces and hack into the hotel’s surveillance system, and then we can enter the bosses’ security perimeter through the surveillance system,” the young university student explained word by word.
“Good idea.”
Chen Feng said with admiration.
He had left university many years ago and was no longer the spirited university student from Jiangcheng University of Technology.
It had to be said that young people were indeed good.
Their greatest advantage was their active minds.
No matter what kind of dead-end problem they encountered, young people could quickly find corresponding solutions.
For example, the method proposed by this young university student, to get close to the Chinese bosses by infiltrating the surveillance equipment, was quite good.
Even though these Chinese bosses would also strengthen their surveillance equipment management to prevent peeking and eavesdropping, no matter how difficult it was, it would still be slightly easier than breaking through so many bodyguards.
No sooner said than done, after clearing the tables, Chen Feng and the young university student went to a nearby internet cafe.
After a brief test of the computer network, the young university student said with a troubled expression.
“Brother, I was too naive. A six-star hotel’s surveillance network is an intranet. We can’t hack into the intranet through the network.”
The young university student said with a troubled expression.
He had thought he could easily earn his tuition fees, but the ironclad fact told him that making money was the hardest thing these days.
“I have a way.”
Chen Feng said calmly.
“Brother, this is an unsolvable problem. There is a physical barrier between the intranet and the internet. No matter how good our network skills are, it’s useless,” the young university student replied dejectedly.
“Since you know that the intranet and the internet are physically separated, then we will use physical means to connect the two networks. As long as we can connect the two networks, I can enter the bosses’ security perimeter.”
Chen Feng said excitedly.
“The idea is quite good, but how to physically connect the two networks is also a tricky problem,” the young university student asked anxiously.
His university fees were originally secured, but who knew that these bosses of the Dragon and Tiger Association were so cautious that they didn’t leave the slightest loophole.
“It’s not tricky at all. We just need to go outside the internet cafe and connect the internet cafe’s network cable to the six-star hotel’s intranet cable. This way, I can use network technology to quickly connect the two unrelated networks.”
Chen Feng explained calmly.
“Brother, you’re still thinking too simply. Different networks can communicate, but the problem is, how do you know which network cable the bosses are using for their intranet? The six-star hotel is luxuriously decorated, and all the pipeline laying is done through hidden lines. Hidden lines are more complex than visible lines. Since it’s our first time here, how can we possibly know where the hotel has hidden the intranet network cable?”
The young university student continued to ask anxiously.
“For this complex problem, we’ll have to use a little political stratagem. With the political stratagem, we can easily get the layout map of the six-star hotel’s intranet network cable…”
Chen Feng said calmly.
