Chapter 147: The Sprout (3/4)
Paul Kutcher is used to being casual, and it is precisely because he knows the other party's personality too well that Ye Dongqing has to say ugly things in front of him in advance to give him a reminder.
Having seen Xiaozha's unfortunate situation, Ye Dongqing doesn't want the person who sits at the hearing to be replaced by himself in the future, data security, user privacy and other issues must be grasped from the beginning, the number of Facebook users is about to exceed 10 million, the influence should not be underestimated, and the consequences will also be more serious, so we must be more careful.
In this regard, it is necessary to learn from Apple, here refers to the future Apple, its recent performance is so bad that Ye Dongqing does not want to see it, so as not to feel distressed for the amount of losses, whether it is Carneke or Vigo, and even many investors have sent emails asking why they have to buy this "junk stock".
As early as the beginning of the Internet bubble, Apple's stock price has fallen to the bottom, during which it almost went bankrupt many times, and the stock price bubble is too small to be ignored, so it has not been affected by the stock market crash of the previous two years.
This has led to a slight improvement in Apple's stock price, and there has been a situation where many institutions have sold its shares, and recently some people have even taken the initiative to come to the door to sell their Apple shares to him in the form of warrants, thinking that this will be able to get rid of the evil spirit of the previous years.
For this kind of person, Ye Dongqing does not refuse, take it all as it is, put aside the future, judging from the current performance, Apple can hardly find any shining point worthy of long-term investment, to say that PC manufacturers, Dell, HP, IBM and other companies are more popular than it, and it is normal not to be concerned.
Feeling that his words were a bit heavy, he looked at Paul again and added: "Of course, as long as you follow the rules, I will never treat you badly, and when Mr. Alfred comes back from Silicon Valley, I will ask him to talk to you and arrange a suitable position, what do you think?"
"As long as the salary is higher than it is now, I don't care, now that you are about to become one of the Inglourious Basterds, there is no need to worry that I will target you, after all, you even know where my family lives. ”
Paul shrugged his shoulders indifferently and continued: "There's something I need to talk to you about, recently I saw someone on the dark web discussing this company, it seems that someone has found a loophole that can log in to someone else's account without entering a password, give me $20,000, and I'll help you solve this problem." ”
This question is worth paying attention to, Ye Dongqing doesn't believe him very much, especially when it comes to money, he called a small supervisor to ask, and found that sure enough, some users recently complained that their personal information was tampered with and released strange messages, and then told Paul: "Give you a deposit of five thousand dollars first, and then give the rest after you deal with it." ”
Sure enough, it was a little bastard, Paul ignored him, and found a computer after going out, and then Ye Dongqing saw him knocking and knocking, and returned a few minutes later and said: "I have helped you fill the loophole, it is better to give cash, and checks are fine." ”
“…… Isn't it the vulnerability you discovered?"
"How is it possible, I just happened to find the same vulnerability as someone else, and after I saw the message on the dark web, and helped you figure out a remedy. ”
Worried that Ye Dongqing would seize the handle after he admitted it, Paul would not admit it anyway, and lied seriously.
No matter what the facts are, it is a good thing to be able to fill the loopholes, Ye Dongqing shook his head and said: "I will give you money after those people are sure that there is no problem, don't worry, I won't even be reluctant to pay 20,000 US dollars, OK?"
Paul followed with an OK gesture, and he released another message: "When you give me the money, I'll tell you a few more loopholes, to be honest, the technology of these people is really a bit bad, you should spend more money to hire a new batch of people......"
After he left, Ye Dongqing called Facebook's current security director, whose name is Mark, who is only twenty-seven years old.
When discussing the security of the program, Mark told him: "I know there are still some problems, but there are not enough people, and the time for the program to be online is too short, and the number of users has suddenly skyrocketed, and we are already so busy that it is difficult to deal with all the problems even if we work overtime."
I've discussed your concerns with Director Alfred, give us some time, it's going to get better and more secure, Oracle's data management technology is pretty good, and when we get our own servers online, things will get better, and we'll be optimizing for those things. ”
The affairs of the software engineers are only known to their peers, Ye Dongqing occasionally hears them discussing certain issues, almost feeling like talking to aliens, fortunately as a boss, it is good to have money, and you can pay people to help you for specific work.
During the chat, I suddenly received a call from Ms. Vigo, and after connecting it, I learned that there was a big mess on the crude oil futures side, and just over half an hour ago, the price of crude oil fell sharply by two percentage points, because Washington officially made a speech on war mobilization.
The Oval Office wants to maintain the stability of its base camp, and it must inform the public in advance.
Judging from the two wars in the 90s, once the regional turmoil should lead to a rise in oil prices for a period of time, the two turmoil in the Gulf and Kosovo successfully sent crude oil prices to a high point.
However, this time is different, with the experience during the Gulf War, no one thinks that the other side can hold out under the fire of the United States for how long, followed by an increase in oil production, the balance between supply and demand is broken, and the number of oil prices will naturally fall.
There is a difference between the time point and the previous life, Ye Dongqing feels that it is mainly because of himself, whether it is Tamsui Investment Group or Facebook, it has affected the life trajectory of too many people, resulting in the current situation being changed and becoming not exactly the same as the previous life.
This is not the point, the point is that the price of oil began to fall off a cliff, and he hurriedly drove back to the Puchuan Building in Midtown, and after entering the office, Ms. Vigo rushed over, and it was only more than ten minutes, and the price of oil fell by more than 20 cents, and the red lines on the screen were very beautiful in his eyes, and more than 20 million US dollars had arrived!

Little Edward is doing "sports", and he is so rich that the girls who worship money ignore his appearance.
The mobile phones placed by the window kept ringing, one after another, and finally couldn't help but connect, and said angrily: "Hell! what's going on!?"
"Boss, now that the price of oil is falling, it has fallen by 3.3 percent in fifty minutes, I think it is necessary to tell you ......"
