At the close of trading, Facebook's stock price rose to $200 a share, and its market capitalization rose from $25 billion to $100 billion. Over the next two days, Facebook's stock price continued to rise, albeit by a lower margin, and finally stabilized at $250 a share, giving the company a total market capitalization of $125 billion.
The birth of another 100 billion market value website naturally caused a great sensation and strongly stimulated more investors.
YouTube, Linkedln, TriAdvisor will also be listed, and many people are already ready to make a move!
On February 10th, ICQ's artificial intelligence program Siri faced off against world chess champion Maria Kasparov.
This time the competition is more watched than the last time!
It's a showdown between the strongest AI and the strongest human brain!
People already know how powerful Siri is, and many people have personally challenged it, but they have come back with complete defeat! And how powerful the world chess champion Kasparov is, ordinary people don't know at all. Therefore, in this showdown, many people sweated for Kasparov.
The game begins.
Siri has already saved all of Kasparov's games, so he knows his tricks well. And Kasparov knows how good Siri is, and he is also familiar with his own chess moves. Therefore, in the past ten days, he has been studying and changing the style of chess. In the first game of the match, Kasparov was in danger several times, sweating profusely on his forehead, but in the end he won.
The game lasted almost an hour and a half.
Kasparov wiped the sweat from his forehead, drank a glass of water, and asked to fight again in the afternoon.
ICQ agreed.
Kasparov's victory is very exciting, but artificial intelligence is still not as good as humans. However, not long after the start of the second game, Kasparov was on the back foot, and after 1 hour, Kasparov was defeated. This time the defeat was a bit quick, which was unexpected.
Kasparov was a little overwhelmed, and it felt like Siri was getting stronger again.
Sure enough, in the big battle the next day, Kasparov lost two in a row. Siri defeated Kasparov 3-1 to win the man-machine chess match.
"Even the world chess champion Kasparov is not Siri's opponent, who among the human beings can compare with him?"
Countless people shook their heads and let out a sigh.
Kasparov's expression was a little discouraged, he walked up to Tian Shuai, the CEO of ICQ Company, and said to Tian Shuai: "Mr. Tian, the artificial intelligence program developed by your company is really powerful, and I am far from being its opponent!"
Tian Shuai said modestly: "Siri only relies on huge computing power to win, it's nothing! It has no wisdom, it can only rely on instructions to act!"
Kasparov laughed: "If it had wisdom, I would have been completely scared......"
"Hehe, Mr. Kasparov, at that time, you were not the only one who was afraid, but even me!"
……
Kasparov disappointed many. At this time, someone on the Internet issued an appeal: "Ask the master to challenge Siri and prove that we humans are stronger than artificial intelligence programs!"
All of a sudden, countless people entered the ICQ game battle platform and challenged Siri.
At this time, a player in an Internet café suddenly saw something and couldn't help but scream.
"Master, master!!"
"Hey, you're shouting wool?!"
"Come and see, this man's record is 10:0, and he is completely abusive. ”
"Really?" the people around him immediately rushed over.
"See for yourselves...... Look at this, isn't it 10:0, and the opponent is Siri?" the player said, gesturing to a spot on the display.
"Really!!"
"What's this man's name?" "I\'m-King!"
……
"Siri is still not strong enough," Henry put down the mouse and said to Tian Shuai who was standing behind him, "The deep learning algorithm needs to be studied and optimized in more depth!"
Tian Shuai looked at the monitor in a daze, his mouth opened wide and could almost stuff an egg.
"Huh, what...... Chairman, what did you just say?" asked Tian Shuai.
Henry stood up and stretched, "I said, the deep learning algorithm needs to be studied and optimized in more depth!"
"Yes, Chairman, we'll dig deeper!"
Henry nodded, and took his leave.
Tian Shuai looked at the back of Henry walking out, shook his head, and then turned his gaze, staring at the computer monitor, and muttered, "This ...... That's too perverted, isn't it?"
……
Since siri's victory over Kasparov, ICQ's market capitalization has skyrocketed to more than $350 billion. At this time, YouTube, Linkedln, and TriAdvisor were all listed one after another week apart. YouTube's market cap is stable at $105 billion, LinkedIn's is $76 billion, and TriAdvistor's is $68 billion.
A series of good news has made Henry's value rise a lot.
However, the blessing of blessing lurks, and the blessing of misfortune depends.
At the same time that Williams's concept stock made Henry's value skyrocket, the crisis also came.
On March 1, important senior U.S. officials gathered at the White House.
US President Clinton personally presided over the meeting, and the total number of participants did not exceed 10, but the top leaders of the Pentagon, the Department of Defense, the FBI, and the CIA were present, and everyone sat around a large purple round table.
Clinton's eyes looked from left to right, and he said in a deep voice: "This meeting is a secret meeting initiated by the FBI, and no one can leak any information!"
As he spoke, Clinton picked up a document and read: "At the end of February, we conducted a poll on Henry Williams, and found that more than 60 percent of the people blindly worship Henry, and more than 80 percent of young people younger than 20 years old even blindly worship him! It can be seen that Henry Williams' personal influence has begun to seriously shake the authority of the US government!" Clinton looked at a man in his 50s sitting to his right. Tell me about Henry Williams, the director of the FBI, Louis Frich!"
"Yes!" Louis Frich stood up, turning on his computer and projector.
"Look, the projection shows Henry Williams over the years. He said, "All the information that can be found about Henry Williams' immigrating from England to the United States is here." Since there is too much information, I will pick some key points. ”
"Our first impression of Henry Williams was that he had a lot of money. In fact, it is true, even we in the FBI do not know how much assets he has! But we estimate that his personal assets may have reached $2 trillion! Such a huge wealth is unimaginable in today's world, and even the vast majority of consortia are far inferior to him!" "Today, there are almost more than 5 million people working for him in the world, and hundreds of millions of people's lives are closely related to him. His fame is louder than anyone else in the world, and his words and deeds can even affect the world!"
Louis Frich said in a deep voice: "Especially in the United States, he has infiltrated the US government in many ways, and many government legislators and members of the military have been corrupted by his sugar-coated shells and become his protective umbrella. Cisco has established many free schools, and the honorary principal of these schools is Henry Williams, and when students enter the school, they will express their gratitude to Henry Williams, and in the long run, there will only be more and more people who worship Henry Williams more than the U.S. Constitution. He is only 21 years old, and he will grow up to be more terrifying than anyone else, not even the Rockefellers and the Morgan family can compare to him. He is a restless careerist, he frequently buys arms companies, and establishes the notorious Blackwater Company, he does a lot of things behind the scenes that we are not very clear, he is the country's turmoil ~ chaos factor, therefore...... We'd better kill Henry Williams!!"
"The United States does not need a cult of personality, it does not need personal influence to override the U.S. government. Since we have imprisoned one Leo Vantaa, we might as well kill another Henry Williams!!"
"Kill Henry Williams, and all his property will go to the government!"
"We can't let him amass wealth any longer!"
The voice of the head of the F.B.I., Louis fried, was as cold as if it came from the nine abysses.
Louis Frich's eagle-like eyes stared at everyone, "What do you think?"
"Seconded!"
"Seconded!"
“……”
Clinton nodded one last time: "Second!"
Louis Frich said: "Given the influence of Henry Williams, we cannot kill him openly. There is a terrorist, al-Qaida, on the Afghan side. We can detonate a bomb to kill Henry Williams, and then push it on Al Qaeda and make them bear the blame! At the same time, we can justifiably attack Afghanistan and demand that they surrender Al Qaeda, or else we in the United States will launch a military war against Afghanistan against terrorism!"
Defense Minister Jack Garcia nodded: "The strategic location of Afghanistan is very important, and the United States will occupy Afghanistan as a bridgehead for advancing into Central Asia, choke the rear of China and Russia, and win over each other's allies, so as to play a role in suppressing China and Russia! Killing Henry Williams and then blaming Al Qaeda in Afghanistan is simply killing two birds with one stone!"
Louis Frich laughed: "Yes, it does kill two birds with one stone. But it doesn't seem easy for us to detonate a bomb to kill Henry Williams and then convince people that al-Qaeda did it. After all, killing Henry Williams is not an easy task, he is surrounded by bodyguards, and the matter is too serious for al-Qaeda to admit. As you know, Blackwater is notorious, and even al-Qaeda doesn't want to provoke them. However, in order to increase al-Qaeda's reputation, there are some things that they did not do, and they admit that they did it themselves. Therefore, before killing Henry Williams this time, we first launched a fake small-scale 'terrorist attack' in the United States, and then said that al-Qaeda did it, as long as they dare to admit that they did it, then the next time we kill Henry Williams and then blame al-Qaeda, the American people will naturally believe it!"
Bang Bang Bang !!
The crowd applauded.
Jack Garcia said: "Louis Frich, what you said is very reasonable, you are responsible for killing Henry Williams, and it is mine to attack Afghanistan!"
"Of course!" Louis Frich nodded and smiled, then looked at President Clinton and the others, and asked, "What do you think?"
"Seconded !!"
……
A week later, an explosion occurred at a large mall in San Jose, California, which ended up with two people seriously injured and eight people slightly injured. Two seriously injured people were rescued from danger after emergency treatment. On the same day, the police department announced that the bombing was a terrorist attack, and after investigation, it was found that the organization of the terrorist attack was Al-Qaida in Afghanistan!
Subsequently, the U.S. government expressed its strong condemnation and demanded to the Afghan government to hand over al-Qaeda!
Just when the US media reported that the terrorist attack was carried out by al-Qaeda, al-Qaeda announced to the world through satellite television, "Yes, the US terrorist attack was carried out by our al-Qaeda organization!!
Seeing this video, several high-ranking officials in the United States couldn't help but laugh.
The American people hate al-Qaeda to the core, and they have launched demonstrations across the United States to resist terrorism!
Henry frowned while watching TV, as far as he knew, al-Qaeda should not have launched a terrorist attack, and the people of Blackwater had been monitoring al-Qaeda's every move, although they didn't know everything about it, but there was no wind at all, which was strange!
"It seems that this al-Qaeda is really powerful!" Henry muttered, "I have to send some more men to spy on them, or I will not receive any news of the next terrorist attack, and some of them will be ......."
Henry made a phone call, "Shaun Houston, you send some more men to Afghanistan, I need to know what al-Qaeda is doing!"
"Yes, Mr. Williams!"
……
On March 12th, the weather was overcast. After Henry went out, he felt a little tightness in his chest.
"Go to the Hilton Hotel. He instructed the driver.
This time, the mayor of San Jose approached him to talk to him and asked him to meet at the Hilton Hotel.
Half an hour later, Henry came to the hotel, when he just walked at the elevator door, a potted plant not far away suddenly made a "tick tick" sound, Henry suddenly a stirring, so familiar sound, at that time I didn't think about it, between the lightning and flint, he slammed in the opposite direction. Several of his bodyguards also realized the threat and physically stood in front of Henry.
Suddenly, a violent explosion erupted in the lobby of the Hilton Hotel!!
"Boss !!"
The bodyguards standing at the door were shocked and rushed to the place where the explosion occurred, where they found Henry and four other bodyguards. Henry still had a breath to hang, but the four bodyguards were blown up as a human wall......
"Send the boss to the hospital immediately!"
Without much thought, the bodyguards quickly picked up Henry and covered him for leaving. Perhaps, the explosion is just the beginning, and there are dangers in the future.
At this time, Henry's bodyguards all came out, as many as twenty or thirty.
Henry was put in the car and quickly rushed to the hospital inside the genetic umbrella.
Soon, the bombing caused a sensation all over the world!
The world's richest man, Henry Williams, was attacked and is dying!
Countless newspapers, television, and the Internet are talking about it.
The eyes of the world were focused on the bombing.
The US police said that the bombing was still the work of al-Qaeda, and the US government could not bear it and strongly demanded that Afghanistan hand over al-Qaeda, otherwise, the United States would not hesitate to launch a war against terrorism!
Subsequently, Britain, France, Germany and other countries expressed their support for the US operation and were willing to send troops to assist the US in Afghanistan!
In addition to the condemnation of al-Qaeda, more attention has been paid to Henry Williams' current situation. However, no one is allowed to visit the patient in the internal hospital of the Gene Umbrella, not even Karina, Helen, and Princess Ulysses of England, who has arrived after hearing the news.
Sean Houston, the CEO of Blackwater, has a cold and almost no affection to tell.
At this moment, five hundred Blackwater elite bodyguards gathered outside the Gene Umbrella headquarters, and if it weren't for the fact that this was San Jose City, I'm afraid more Blackwater bodyguards would be mobilized to come.
The people around were shocked when they saw the rows of burly men standing straight and closed, and Henry's identity as the behind-the-scenes boss of the Blackwater Company was suddenly exposed! While people admired him, they couldn't help but be in awe!
Gene umbrella internal hospital.
Henry's whole body was strapped, revealing only one pair of eyes, a pair of eyes as sharp as an eagle.
"Sean Houston, have you found out who is going to kill me?" a hoarse, deep voice came from Henry's mouth.
"Not yet, Mr. Williams. But the U.S. police said it was al-Qaeda!"
"Isn't it al-Qaeda again? Hasn't Blackwater been monitoring all the time? How could it be al-Qaeda doing such a big operation to assassinate me!" Henry sneered, at this moment, he completely calmed down, and only felt that the most likely thing that wanted to kill him was the US government, why was he attacked when he went to meet with the mayor? Is it such a coincidence? Henry suddenly felt that the last bombing case might also be self-directed and staged by the United States, and its purpose was to kill himself, and then find someone to blame him.
The U.S. government seems to be unable to tolerate me, and its own development is too fierce and fast, which has made everyone feel terrified. However, they did not dare to kill me openly, so they resorted to this kind of indiscriminate means! Hmph, Leo Vantaa is a lesson for him?"
