The next morning, Gotham Daily broke a bombshell.
Dominic Sidney, the second-in-command of the Falcone family, has been arrested.
The Central Bank is the intermediary channel for Falcone and the upper class to transfer benefits. As the president of the Central Bank, Sidney has a lot of inside information that cannot be made public. As long as his mouth is pried open, the American world will be turned upside down.
For a time, many senior executives could no longer sit still.
Gotham, which had just calmed down, is about to be hit by another storm.
After reading the contents of the newspaper, Luke just curled his lips and threw it aside.
Sidney has turned himself into an idiot who can only squat on the ground and count ants. If Jim Gordon can dig out information from this idiot, I, Luke, would like to call you the strongest.
Since that guy couldn't get any information, he came to this place and used Sidney as bait to lure Falcone into the trap.
The idea is great and has a high chance of success.
Falcone had no idea that his former subordinates had become idiots. They must have been restless after learning that he had been arrested. Even if he did not take action, the senior political officials behind him would force him to do so.
This is a dead end.
After realizing this, Luke no longer cared about the future of Gotham City. It had nothing to do with him.
With $800 million in hand, Sidney took the blame, Roger Consius was ruined, ShowMe became popular, and Emily made a leap forward and is likely to become the head of the FBI's Eastern District office. With her protecting him, he no longer has to worry about the cops causing trouble. Having an FBI girlfriend is so awesome.
As the mastermind behind the scenes, Luke is very satisfied with the current results and can proceed to the next plan.
At ten o'clock in the morning, after the entire meeting, a slightly strange recruitment notice appeared on the ShowMe homepage.
All other aspects of the announcement are normal, except for the positions of technician and assistant to the president.
The former has almost no requirements, just two words: genius.
There is a bold line below: ShowMe is a genius company, and genius companies only need genius technicians.
Listening to his tone, it's obvious that he deserves a beating!
Compared with technicians, the requirements for the president's assistant are more, a full half page.
Gender: Female (excluding transgender people)
Age: 18-25 years old
Height: 1
Weight: 105 to 135 pounds
Appearance: Clean and decent face
Hair: Shoulder-length
Skin color: None
Education: College student or graduate, IQ above 125, proficient in at least three languages (including English), clean criminal record, no bad habits, no record of drug use (including prescription painkillers, etc.), and work experience is preferred;
Physical requirements: Strong physique, mastery of various fighting techniques, left punch strength of no less than 500 pounds, right punch strength of no less than 600 pounds, those with actual combat experience are preferred;
Special request: No perfume!
Annual salary: $250,000
After reading the requirements, everyone couldn't help but wonder: Is this a beauty pageant? Or is it recruiting assistants? Or maybe bodyguards?
And what's the point of not wearing perfume? You find a female secretary but don't let her wear perfume. Isn't that a hassle?
Are there still women who don't wear perfume these days?
A woman who doesn't wear perfume can still be called a woman!
As soon as the information was posted, it caused a lot of controversy.
Being the CEO's assistant wasn't a big deal. A 250,000 yuan annual salary was considered high-income, so it was normal to ask for more. He was a man after all! Everyone has their own quirks.
Only technician recruitment requirements.
It ignites the hearts of many people, especially top students from Ivy League universities.
They couldn't understand why an internet startup like ShowMe didn't specify any educational requirements in its job postings. This practice was simply against social development.
If every Internet company does not consider academic qualifications, then what is the point of computer majors in universities?
Current and former students left messages under the announcement, strongly condemning ShowMe's "unfair" behavior.
Of course, in contrast, there is the hacker community, where the educational background of hackers varies greatly. There are graduates from prestigious universities, while there are also self-taught people. The former express disdain for recruitment information, while the latter show great interest.
The hacker circle is not that big, and they have more or less heard about what kind of people are in ShowMe's technical department. Among other things, Zuckerberg is an example. The guy stole money from the bank, was caught by the FBI, and spent two years in prison before he was released.
This kind of person can be the technical director of ShowMe, but if I go there, I will definitely be the CTO.
On the 13th floor of Haixing Building, Zuckerberg stood in front of his desk with a troubled look on his face.
"Boss, is this really necessary?"
Luke asked with a smile, "Why! No confidence?"
"Of course we have confidence, but the problem is that if we do this, it will probably cause public outrage."
"You're scared!"
"Of course I'm not afraid!"
Zack stood up straight and said forcefully, "When it comes to computer technology, who else is better than me besides you?"
After the light flattery, Zack immediately wilted.
"Even if we're not afraid, we can't risk public outrage. There are plenty of skilled hackers out there. If they team up to cause trouble, the company might not be able to withstand it."
"You can't handle it, so I'll do it. Look around the world, who has better skills than me?"
Zack wanted to hit him in the face with a brick.
Even if you're the boss, you can't do this! It can kill people, you know?
Luke was too lazy to talk nonsense with him.
"Okay, go back and prepare, the first test is about to begin."
Zack sighed helplessly and left dejectedly.
Now it's impossible not to become famous.
A few minutes later, an even more explosive message appeared on ShowMe's official website.
To provide a convenient path for high-quality talent, the ShowMe technical department has issued the following announcement: Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, between 2:00 PM and 5:00 PM, any ShowMe user can sign up for a hacking event. Anyone who successfully hacks into the ShowMe database will be automatically hired as a ShowMe employee, bypassing the written test and interview process. ShowMe will not pursue legal responsibility for any hacking activity during this period. (Registration is open from 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM daily, and the event is valid from August to September 2003.)
If the previous message was a provocation, this statement is a naked slap in the face, slapping everyone in the face, with both hands working in tandem, leaving them red and swollen.
The content of the notice is like a rich second-generation kid standing in front of a poor loser, arrogantly saying: "I'm rich, handsome, and in great shape. I have hundreds of millions in my bank account and I can drive a Ferrari or a BMW. You don't accept it, so what can you do? You can't hit me. If you dare to hit me, I'll be your grandson."
As a poor loser, what should you do at this time? Be a grandfather or a grandson?
The biggest characteristic of a genius is that he refuses to submit, especially a genius in computer technology. He may be a little cowardly in real life, but he will definitely strike hard on the Internet. If you dare to say you are my master, I will leave a pile of shit on your desktop.
ShowMe's statement set off the entire Internet industry and also angered many experts.
When masters fight, they always stop when the time is right and show no mercy. Now that you are not playing by the rules, don't blame me for being rude.
Thus, an unprecedented crusade began.
Top students from computer science departments of major prestigious universities, hacker experts, FBI technical department employees who were itching to get their hands dirty, programmers from other Internet companies, and even some foreign hacker organizations have all joined in.
12 noon.
Charlie opened the door and said hurriedly,
"Boss, the number of applicants has exceeded two thousand. Zack asked me to ask you whether to terminate the application?"
"Why terminate it?"
Luke laughed and said, "Out of two thousand people, no more than 10% are capable. The rest are just idiots following the crowd. What's there to worry about?"
Charlie wiped the sweat from his forehead and said,
"Boss, I don't understand why you would make that kind of statement. It's not in line with your style."
Luke did not hide anything and said directly,
"I need to develop an artificial intelligence system. The process is extremely complex and not something an ordinary technician can handle. Only a genius is qualified to help me."
"Geniuses are hard to come by. I don't have that much time to waste looking for them. I can only use this extreme method to dig them out from the crowd."
Charlie hesitated, "What if I mess it up?"
Luke laughed out loud.
"We grew up together, have you ever seen me mess up?"
"All right!"
Charlie shrugged and said,
"There's another very tricky matter. Madam Helen sent us an email asking us to withdraw our recruitment request for the CEO's assistant."
Luke asked puzzledly, "Which Madam Helen?"
"Mrs. Helen is an advocate of the women's rights movement and currently resides in the metropolis." After a pause, he added, "Boss, I think it's best to revise it. That woman is notoriously difficult to deal with. If she sets her sights on you, it's going to be very troublesome."
"What a hassle!"
Luke slammed the table and said angrily, "I have to look at other people's faces when looking for a secretary. Who does she think she is! The Queen Mother! She holds the Seven Fairies in her hands."
"I won't change it, let's see what she can do."
