Chapter 1208 WikiLeaks was established
Chapter 1,208 WikiLeaks is established
Now that we know the motivation behind Julian Assange's question, it couldn't be easier to impress him.
“The state is a tool used by a small number of people to control the majority of people. As their rights increase, these small groups of people want to gain greater power and control more people. If you want to prevent this situation from happening, you have to
We must ensure the transparency of government operations. If we want the government operations to be transparent, we must make information public. Unfortunately, even in the United States, which has the highest degree of freedom, true freedom of information cannot be achieved!" Lin Feng looked at Julian Assan.
Strange, he said with a sigh.
Julian Assang was very excited when he heard what Lin Feng said. He did not expect that Lin Feng, the richest man in the world, would actually think of being like him. It really touched his heart. In the past few years, he and his divorced wife had won a lawsuit in a lawsuit.
After gaining the right to take custody of his son, he worked several jobs and tried his best to earn money to raise his son. However, after many years of working in the workplace and seeing countless people and things, he gradually realized that the most critical struggle for mankind is not the left.
The battle with the right or the battle between faith and reason is rather a battle between individuals and institutions. He drafted a manifesto-like document titled "Conspiracy as Rule", which was intended to be applied in the political field. He believed that when a regime is internally
If the communication lines are destroyed, the information exchange between the conspirators is destined to shrink, and when this exchange approaches zero, the conspiracy will be disintegrated. Leaking is a tool of information warfare.
Therefore, Julian Assange eagerly hopes to establish a similar organization to smash the lies of those politicians and conspirators. But now the emergence of the Internet has undoubtedly provided a civilian like Julian Assange with more opportunities.
A way to realize his ideal. Therefore, Julian Assange has been contacting people with lofty ideals from all walks of life to establish such a website. However, establishing such a website will inevitably arouse dissatisfaction and even attack from the government. In that case, how can the website be maintained?
Management has become a very real problem.
Originally, Julian Assange and many like-minded people were planning to place their hopes of maintaining the operation of the website on those supporters, who would make spontaneous donations to solve operational problems. However, this method of relying on donations to maintain operations is really a bit unreliable.
Speculation is not a long-term solution. Therefore, Julian Assange has been thinking of ways. If there is no other good way in the end, then Julian Assange and his like-minded people can only choose to rely on donations from supporters.
Maintain the operation of the website in the future.
However, Lin Feng suddenly summoned hackers from all over the world to participate in this grand event to help "Baidu and Yahoo" solve the shortcomings of the "vertical search engine", which gave Julian Assange an idea. As the world's richest man, Lin Feng looked at hackers in a different light.
Then maybe Lin Feng would be willing to invest in his ideal. As long as he could give Lin Feng a sufficient return. Therefore, he specifically contacted Lin Feng and arranged an interview with him at this "Little Black Bean" cafe.
But before telling Lin Feng his ideal, Julian Assange must confirm whether Lin Feng holds the same point of view as him. Of course, even if they don't have the same point of view, as long as there is no opposite point of view. Otherwise, there is no need to talk about it, and it won't work.
However, if Lin Feng were to use it, it would become a stumbling block for them. But what Julian Assange never expected was that Lin Feng had the same view as him. This made Julian Assange overjoyed!
With Lin Feng's investment, his ideal can be realized immediately, and there is no need to consider any subsequent funding issues. With Lin Feng's financial resources, it is more than enough to bear hundreds of thousands of dollars in operations every year. And there are
With sufficient financial resources guaranteed, they will be able to realize their ideals without any worries.
Thinking of this, Julian Assange revealed to Lin Feng the information that he wanted to set up a website dedicated to publishing government secrets.
"Mr. Lin, only by "leaking secrets" can we fight against a government that maintains its power by concealing the truth and give everyone the right to know!" Julian Assange said firmly.
Lin Feng nodded. He strongly agreed with this.
Surprise! - Julian Assange did not expect that Lin Feng would agree so much. For Julian Assange, this is simply the best news in his gloomy life.
"Mr. Lin, I have contacted many like-minded people and plan to set up a related website in the near future to give everyone the right to know. I just lack some funds in this area. I wonder if Mr. Lin is willing to invest in our common ideal.
Sponsored?" Julian Assange looked at Lin Feng expectantly, and his heart was full of anxiety.
He should agree! - Judging from Lin Feng's attitude just now, Julian Assange guessed that Lin Feng would agree. After all, it doesn't cost much. For Lin Feng, an annual investment of hundreds of thousands of dollars
, it’s really just a drop in the bucket.
Unexpectedly, Lin Feng shook his head.
"Mr. Assange, you should know that I am a businessman, and this ideal will involve national interests. Based on my understanding of those government officials, I know that the emergence of an organization like yours will inevitably trigger strong government action.
Suppression. Once they know that I am the financial sponsor of this organization, I am afraid that I will be immediately wanted by the US government and even arrested by Interpol. This will be a devastating blow to my career!" Although Lin Feng
He was very eager to help Julian Assange establish "WikiLeaks", but at this time, Lin Feng took the opportunity to raise the price.
Julian Assange was well prepared for Lin Feng's words. After all, ideals are ideals, but for a businessman like Lin Feng, if his ideals endanger his interests, then all ideals will be in vain.
.Everything is a cloud, only money is the most important. Therefore, Julian Assange made some preparations beforehand.
"Haha, Mr. Lin, one thing I can absolutely guarantee you is that your funding will become the top secret of our organization and will never be leaked. We will absolutely guarantee your safety and no one will know about it.
If there is a threat to your existence, any confidential information about you will be deleted immediately!" Julian Assange assured, patting his chest. This is not Julian Assange talking big words, but a strong guarantee.
Julian Assange’s organization has assembled almost the world’s top hackers. Although they are powerless in reality, they possess unimaginable power on the Internet.
It is definitely not a problem for them to unite to keep a secret. Therefore, Julian Assange can pat his chest and promise Lin Feng. However, it is a pity that this promise is not enough, Lin Feng wants more than that. Lin Feng wants more than that.
Feng also wanted to insert Kevin Mitnick, as well as the "Five Experts" in the domestic hacker community, in order to ensure that he could master this "WikiLeaks" to the greatest extent in the future. Just for a while,
Lin Feng didn't know how to speak.
Julian Assange was not surprised that Lin Feng was silent. In his life, he had seen all kinds of people. He must have many concerns about a super young rich man like Lin Feng venturing into such a dangerous field.
.If Lin Feng agrees to fund himself and others every year without any worries, then Julian Assange will have doubts. But fortunately, he still has an absolute bargaining chip.
"Mr. Lin, if this still can't make you make up your mind, then I still have a bargaining chip, and you will definitely be tempted!" Julian Assange said with a smile.
When Lin Feng heard this, his heart skipped a beat. Although he still didn't know what kind of bargaining chip Julian Assange was talking about, Lin Feng instinctively felt that this must be a good thing, and it was a big good thing. Seeing Julian Assange's confident face
Smiling, a thought flashed through Lin Feng's mind and he subconsciously said - Mr. Assange, could it be that you designed that artificial intelligence program?
Lin Feng looked at Julian Assange nervously. If this artificial intelligence program was really designed by Julian Assange, as long as he can give himself the source code of this program, he can sponsor as much as he wants for a year.
.Even if it costs 100 million US dollars a year, there is no problem. This artificial intelligence program can definitely earn more money.
Unexpectedly, Julian Assange slowly shook his head.
A feeling of extreme disappointment instantly enveloped Lin Feng's heart.
"Haha, Mr. Lin, although this artificial intelligence program was not designed by me, it was designed by like-minded friends like me. He promised that as long as Mr. Lin can fund our organization with US$5 million per year, this artificial intelligence program will
The right to use it can be handed over to Mr. Lin for free." Julian Assange said with a smile. This time he also took the opportunity to speak out. Originally, the annual operating fee was only about 500,000 US dollars, but since Lin Feng urgently needs this labor
Intelligent programs, he naturally wants to open his mouth. Unfortunately, Julian Assange is not a rich man. In his eyes, 5 million US dollars is already a lot, but for a truly rich man like Lin Feng, it really doesn’t count.
Many. It just has the right to use it, which is a bit sad.
Lin Feng heard that this artificial intelligence program was written by Julian Assange's friend, and his face suddenly became colored. However, when he heard that he only had the right to use it, Lin Feng's mood fell to the bottom again. What he wanted was the copyright.
Rather than the right to use, giving yourself a right to use is of no use.
Looking at the unpredictable expression on Lin Feng's face, which alternated between yin and yang, Julian Assange felt a strange sense of pride in his heart. Being able to control the emotions of the world's richest man in the palm of his hand was truly an extraordinary sense of accomplishment.
Same as usual. However, Julian Assange did not dare to amuse Lin Feng too much and quickly told Lin Feng everything.
It turned out that the super-genius programmer who designed the artificial intelligence program was himself an "angry youth" like Julian Assange. After accidentally developing this prototype artificial intelligence program, he thought of using it to tease Lin Feng.
Appetite, let him agree to sponsor their small organization and help them realize their ideals. As for only giving Lin Feng the right to use it instead of selling it at a high price, that is because the programmer himself does not want this program to be controlled by one person.
If an artificial intelligence program can be developed successfully and possess real "intelligence" like in the movie, it will be enough to change the entire course of mankind.
Therefore, this talented programmer never wants someone to master it and turn it into another "government". This is definitely beyond their original intention. Therefore, they decided to only give Lin Feng the right to use it instead of selling it to Lin Feng at a high price.
Feng. What's more, he is not sure whether once this artificial intelligence program truly matures, it will do things that harm humanity like in the movie. Although it is still very far away for such a thing to happen, maybe decades, maybe even
A hundred years later, but he had to be careful. At least, for an "angry young man" like him, he never wanted to plant the seeds of destruction for mankind.
"Mr. Assange, if I offer 1 billion US dollars, will he sell it?" Lin Feng asked without giving up.
Julian Assange shook his head.
"Mr. Lin, the existence of our organization is to break the blockade and break the monopoly. Monopolistic behavior like yours is exactly what we don't want to see." Julian Assange shook his head and said.
Lin Feng secretly sighed in his heart. In that case, forget it, it would be good to get the right to use it. Use it, use it, maybe you can make it your own during the process of using it. Thinking of this, Lin Feng calmed down.
, began to get as much benefit for themselves as possible. After all, in this matter, although it belongs to Lang Youqing, I have intention, Julian Assange wants to establish "WikiLeaks", and he also wants to have "WikiLeaks" like this
website.
"In that case, I won't force it. I only ask for one thing. I hope that I can get the exclusive right to use it before the artificial intelligence program is perfected." Lin Feng smiled slightly.
Julian Assange was completely stunned. What is the difference between Lin Feng's request and a monopoly? If this artificial intelligence program is to be perfected, it will not happen overnight. Lin Feng now proposes exclusive use rights before it is perfected. That is different from a buyout.
There's really no difference.
"Mr. Assange, in return, I may be able to introduce you to a like-minded person. If you can win his joining, then this lofty ideal may be realized faster." Lin Feng saw Julian Assange.
He frowned for a while, then an idea flashed in his mind, and he suddenly smiled mysteriously.
Julian Assange was stunned. He has now contacted all the like-minded people who may join. Who else can Lin Feng introduce to them? Even if he does, he may not be able to help them.
Seeing that Julian Assange didn't believe it, Lin Feng slowly spit out a person's name - Kevin Mitnick.
Hiss! Julian Assange took a sharp breath. He was very familiar with this former "number one hacker". But since he was arrested by the FBI, sentenced and released on bail, no one has seen the world's number one hacker again.
There is news about a hacker. Although there are rumors that this hacker has appeared on the Internet again, this time Lin Feng summoned the world's top hackers to participate in the grand event, and this former "world's number one hacker" is also inextricably linked, but
But no one has ever known the exact information about this former "world's number one hacker". Does Lin Feng know?
If Kevin Mitnick can really be persuaded to join, his ideal can indeed be realized sooner. The strength of the "world's number one hacker" is absolutely eye-catching.
"Okay, I agree. As long as Mr. Lin can provide me with the exact information about Kevin Mitnick and Mr. Lin's exclusive right to use this artificial intelligence program before it is perfected, I will agree on behalf of that friend." Kevin.
Mitnick nodded and said. Although the exclusive use rights requested by Lin Feng are no different from a buyout, for Julian Assange, it is still barely acceptable. After all, the progress of this artificial intelligence program is difficult.
In the early days, its use was limited. In this case, it was not unreasonable to sell Lin Feng a favor. After all, having an ally like Lin Feng would bring a lot of benefits to them.
Seeing Julian Assange nodding, Lin Feng wanted to laugh. Unknowingly, Lin Feng not only inserted Kevin Mitnick into it, but also obtained the exclusive right to use this artificial intelligence program before it was perfected.
This is simply a lucky day for Lin Feng!
Immediately, Lin Feng gave one of Kevin Mitnick's contact information to Julian Assange. As for Kevin Mitnick's safety, Lin Feng was not worried at all. Compared to Kevin Mitnick,
Julian Assange, who is determined to establish "WikiLeaks", is undoubtedly more harmful to the US government. How could Julian Assange leak the whereabouts of Kevin Mitnick, whose whereabouts are unknown?
Within just 6 hours, Julian Assange and Kevin Mitnick reached an agreement, and Kevin Mitnick decided to join the "WikiLeaks" and serve as one of the directors. This will be established soon
"WikiLeaks" has a total of 9 directors, Julian Assange and Kevin Mitnick are two of them. Due to his status, Lin Feng does not hold any position in the "WikiLeaks" organization, even
There is no relationship. The only relationship is that the capital account of "WikiLeaks" is opened in the "Bank of East Asia" owned by Lam Fung.
Originally, Julian Assange was planning to open a capital account at the "Second Bank" owned by Lam Feng, but Lin Feng thought about it and decided to open a fund account at the "Bank of East Asia" just in case.
No matter what the accident, Lin Feng could abandon the "Bank of East Asia" and sever all ties with "WikiLeaks". As for the so-called contact evidence, with Kevin Mitnick as director, Lin Feng does not have to worry about this.
Just as people continue to search for the super-genius programmer, the "WikiLeaks" website that will shock future generations is released quietly. Although this website has not released any breaking news yet, they are brewing a breaking news
Chapter completed!
