This clue is not clear, and they have to continue digging to find out the team behind the scenes.
At the same time, they also handed over some necessary information to the public security department for joint investigation.
While they were cracking the dark web, they were trying to find ways to contact sellers on the dark web.
The staff of Hongxin fabricated an identity for themselves, codenamed V, and contacted them on the dark web as a Chinese buyer.
After some mutual testing, the other party reluctantly believed their identities and began to discuss the products.
V: "Can your games really make money? A set of projection equipment costs tens of thousands! One hundred sets is over a million! Are the games worth this price?"
Merchant: "Of course! Is yours from Huaxia? Huaxia buys the most from me. The content of this virtual projection game is very exciting and can only be played with the equipment we have modified!"
Merchant: "There is no such thing on the market. I am the only one who has it. You let people play it and they become addicted as soon as they play it! And we also provide game updates to add more exciting content!"
Merchant: "You buy my stuff and open a small place for people to come and play. It's more profitable than opening a color place and selling fans! One of my buyers bought a thousand units and opened three places, one The monthly turnover is tens of millions. If you use other services, making money will be like printing money!”
V: "It's not as exaggerated as you said! And the inspections have been tightened recently, so the risk is high!"
The merchant reassured: "Don't worry, what are you afraid of? Just find a top seller and collect the money yourself behind the scenes. If found, at most we will confiscate some equipment. If you buy it for the second time, we will give you a 20% discount!"
“If you use digital currency directly for large transactions, you won’t be able to detect them at all!”
V: "Are you fooling me? The Hongxin Group has spread the news and is offering a reward of 10 million for your clues. If I buy your stuff now and you are caught, I will be in danger too!"
The merchant immediately replied: "You want to find us with a ridiculous reward? Impossible! Even if they search all over China, they can't find us! Our transaction is absolutely safe! If they can catch us, I'll give you a damn." Football kicks!”
Merchant: "If you are afraid of risks, you can wait until this wave of turmoil passes before buying. We will launch more game content, and you will be addicted after playing it once!"
Merchant: "If you know how to operate, you can make more money by adding gambling games!"
When the staff of Hongxin chatted with him, Lu Zixin and others saw the news in real time.
"Too arrogant!" Liang Song said angrily, "You're really not afraid at all!"
"We must catch them!" Liu Tong gritted his teeth. According to this person, this kind of game is as harmful as drugs. He doesn't want signs on the streets in the future saying that pornography, gambling, drugs, and reality projection games are prohibited.
"I found the network address, but it shouldn't be of much use." While chatting just now, Lu Zixin had already invaded the dark web and found the merchant's network address. What annoys him is that this network address is in China. It is probably just a fishing spot and not the real mastermind behind it.
"We can pretend to buy goods from him and follow the source of the goods." Someone suggested.
…
In a country in Southeast Asia, there is an electronics factory.
This electronics factory is small in scale, and its main business is the manufacturing of low-end electronic products. There are nearly a hundred employees, all of whom are nearby residents.
In the seemingly ordinary electronics factory, there is something fishy.
This electronics factory has surveillance cameras all over the place, and there are people on patrol around the clock. Every worker entering the factory must be inspected.
If people who know the goods enter the factory, they will find that what they produce is not inferior or low-end electronic products at all. Instead, they are transforming some cutting-edge technology products, most of which are virtual projection equipment produced by Hongxin.
They dismantle some parts on these devices, add their own self-produced accessories, and then package them one by one and send them to the warehouse.
In the electronics factory, there is also an electronic product laboratory. All workers are prohibited from entering the laboratory, and only a small number of people are qualified to enter.
A short man in a suit walked to the door of the laboratory and entered through fingerprint and facial recognition.
In the laboratory, there are various precision instruments, and some people are conducting experiments.
"Adi!" Seeing the man come in, those people greeted him one after another.
Adi is the owner of this electronics factory, their employer. Although Adi is not tall, he looks very fierce, with a fierce look in his eyes that makes people fear him.
"Is the new game scene ready?" Adi asked, "Buyers have been pressing for it for weeks!"
"It's almost done. It will be completed next week. Look!" The staff inside turned on a virtual projection equipment, and a projection screen appeared in the blank venue.
What is shown in the projection is an ancient prison, an institution like the Inquisition in ancient Europe.
In the dark and damp prison, there are various cells and torture instruments with different functions. Many of them are instruments of torture that have long been abolished by human laws because they are too cruel.
The scene shifts to cells where various people are imprisoned. There are strong men, dying old men, crying babies, and women with various costumes and identities.
The person next to him proudly introduced to Adi: "Boss, there are more than a thousand criminal methods and torture instruments in the game. Our users can use any method to torture these prisoners, and we have done all the scenes better than last time." Realistic…”
This is purely a game that satisfies people's dark psychology, using different methods to abuse game characters.
Adi watched several criminal methods. He was very satisfied with the scenes of screams and blood. Buyers will definitely like this game.
The price of this kind of game can be sold for several million at a time, and the subsequent revenue can even reach tens of millions or even over 100 million.
"Yes, let's make it as soon as possible." Adi said, "Now our industrial chain in China has been hit, business has slumped a lot, and we need to open up new markets."
"Can China still do it? We lost another important line the day before yesterday. The virtual projection gambling game line has already created 20 million US dollars in revenue for us! What a pity!" said the person in charge of the laboratory , he is also one of the senior leaders of this team.
"We can do it, but there's been a lot of noise over there recently, so let's let it go first." Adi said confidently, "When the wind blows over, we'll continue to make money! I didn't expect this thing to make more money than they sell drugs. And we have less risk!"
"Recently, another buyer from China contacted us. Once this deal is completed, let's go and have fun!"
