Chapter 195, an article, leads to the interview of the times

It can be said that for the first week after Microsoft's press conference, the press industry was like a powder keg that had been ignited, and every spark was like every reporter jumping up and down with excitement. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 infoNot only the United States, but also Europe and Australia are in full jubilation, after all, a historic news is being released!

What does it mean that IBM hacked the NASDAQ exchange with Internet technology and maliciously modified the stock market data?

First of all, it is the blue giant that is about to encounter the biggest crisis in the half century since its establishment, and compared with the criminal punishment of the person directly responsible and the fine of the company, the sharp decline in credibility is its biggest loss. From the second day of the press conference until two weeks later, IBM's blue chips, which have always been stable, have fallen to 55% of the original price!

This is not a stock market crash, it is just an individual decline of a company due to the news, if it is replaced by an ordinary company, people may just sigh a little, but now, it is completely different.

Big Blue, a blue-chip stock with a history of half a century, and a super multinational company with a market value of about 190 billion in the 60s, when the GDP of the United States was only more than 800 billion US dollars. The 55% plunge in two weeks is absolutely unprecedented for a blue-chip stock that represents a stable performance and a strong company. But for the scandal that IBM is saddled with at this time, it has taken so long to fall so little, but many stockbrokers have to sigh, in the end, it is worthy of it!

As time went on, more news materials were reported, and it is unknown where those reporters got the information that IBM had lost orders from at least 12 companies since the outbreak of the "exchangegate" incident, and at least five of them came from other listed companies. Tens of billions of dollars in market value evaporated and tens of millions of orders were lost, but it was just a change in two weeks!

But in this whole incident, IBM is not the only one who has become famous.

Just a week after the outbreak of this incident, which was named "Exchangegate" by many media outlets, almost all the major newspapers in the country, represented by the Wall Street Journal, which is a financial newspaper, published a highly professional article in the IT industry.

"It's time to maintain network security, Cisco systems are at the forefront of the world."

At least for many people whose main focus is in the entertainment industry, they will be very pleased and proud to see that the author of this article is like Alice Wang, a new Hollywood director and best-selling author of the year, whom everyone particularly likes!

Although at the time of writing this article, she is the founder of Cisco Systems, Inc., who is only fourteen years old and honorary chairman.

In this 9,000-word article, Alice outlines the future of the Internet in great detail. From Moore's Law, "When the price is constant, the number of components that can fit on an integrated circuit doubles approximately every 18-24 months, and the performance will also double." From the launch of the first personal computer in history by IBM to the current situation of major telecom operators frantically laying network infrastructure, she imagined the lifestyle of the late 90s for the majority of readers.

"Every household will have a personal computer and will be connected to the world's largest cobweb cluster in the history of the Internet, with a network infrastructure dominated by routers. The relevant operators will store a large number of servers in the company buildings around the world, and the world's inquiries will be disseminated from all over the world to any corner of the world, and the high degree of sharing of information resources will make the earth no longer huge, and the global village will form a ......."

If this part of the article is to make many popular brokers shine, let many young people who are interested in working in the IT industry be ready to move, and make many industry peers suddenly enlighten, then the next part of the 9,000-word article is the real specific view of the IBM incident.

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ The issue of information security will also be on the agenda, and Congress will inevitably enact cybersecurity legislation at some point. At the same time as legal protection, relevant enterprises must also provide a strong shield for information security in technology. In this regard, Cisco Systems will have the responsibility to start developing network security protocols to firmly block the fire of intrusion from the outside world to the computers of individual users with a solid firewall......"

Then the article introduces in great detail what Internet Protocol is, mentions the functional characteristics of routers in passing, and then turns the conversation back to the question of "what is a network security protocol". The user sets the permission to pass the packet, combines software and hardware, and intelligently automatically defends the intruder to intercept the unknown packet that is not registered by the intruder.

It's rare that even the Wall Street Journal published such an article that belongs entirely to the IT world. It's funny to think about, after all, IBM is doing the hacking of the stock exchange, and it is estimated that all parties on Wall Street have long been frightened by the potential crisis. The idea of publishing Alice's article and the newspaper to appease people's hearts is really just right.

So naturally, the name of Cisco Systems, and the name Alice Wang, have finally entered the eyes of people across the country.

"Just wear a suit, white, and not a skirt, I want suit pants!

The U.S. headquarters of "Oscar & Hannah" International Apparel Co., Ltd. has finally settled in 30 or 50 employees after a small year of development. At this moment, two costume designers are surrounding their young and beautiful teenage bosses, making suggestions for the next event.

"But suit pants will make you look too strong, Alice. ā€

With her arms clasped to her chest, Ashley bit her lip lightly and frowned, watching Alice stretch her arms and legs under the fiddling of the two designers.

"Or is it more appropriate to wear a suit skirt, which can easily show your liveliness and cuteness as a girl, isn't it?"

"I don't need to be cute or anything. ā€

Alice raised her arm in frustration so that the designer could judge the length of her arm: "And speaking of which, why should we go to such trouble?

Ashley shook her head vigorously: "That's not good, don't forget, you are still a shareholder of our clothing company, if you don't wear tailor-made clothes to attend the interview of Time magazine, wait for five or ten years, do you want to make people laugh to death?"

That's right, things have gotten to this point, and a reporter from Time magazine has approached Alice to do an interview with her.

Although it is far from the level of the cover character, it is unprecedented to receive this invitation at the age of fourteen, and I am afraid that there will be no one in the future.

"You can rest assured, my dear Ashley. ā€

Alice stood helplessly in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror, stretched out her arms left and right, and asked the designer to judge her waistline: "As long as you succeed, even if you fart is fragrant, let alone not wearing such a trivial thing as a private suit." ā€

"This ...... I have to agree. ā€

After thinking about it, Ashley also nodded: "People will have a kind of blind worship of successful people, just like Napoleon's famous saying about being a general, if you really let an ordinary soldier say it, it is probably a fart." ā€

"Miss Aurel, a lady can't say anything like that. ā€

At this time, Millie, who was measuring Alice's waistline, wore brown hair in a bun, and smiled, "Otherwise, I would have complained to Madame." ā€

Ashley immediately rolled her eyes: "Ah~ I know, isn't it just a fart, I didn't say those words that start with F." ā€

"Speaking of which, the Chinese market is also developing well. ā€

Alice still maintains a position with her arms raised so that Millie can measure her bust: "The annual financial report says that our net profit is four million dollars. The company has only been established for a year and has such a large scale, tsk, the profit margin of the clothing industry is large. ā€

"Cut, you don't look at how much money you put in upfront. ā€

Ashley stepped forward and stared at the tape measure around Alice's cup: "With the tens of millions of throws you had before, we just returned to our roots a few years ago." Belch...... I said, Alice, you're a little too big. ā€

"Hey?"

Alice looked down at her two lumps, "Really?

The two white and tender steamed buns were wrapped in black bras, of course, this is just a normal state, because Ashley has a big bag, and the two designers present want to design a full outfit for Alice. In fact, at this time, except for a fat one, someone is simply a red fruit, and the two big white steamed buns are dotted with pink grapes, and the shape is not ordinarily good-looking.

"Of course it's getting bigger!"

Hearing Alice say this, Ashley said in a loud voice: "Are you questioning our professional quality, or are you questioning the scale of the tape measure?

"The problem is that mine is already very big~"

Alice smiled and changed her look again, and the two designers were measuring her feet at this moment: "Fourteen-year-old c-cup, Ashley, it looks like yours isn't that old yet, right?"

A certain sentence seems to be on someone's pain point.

Ashley suddenly froze like a frosted eggplant.

There's no way, except for Maimi, who was the first to have her period, the current cup is only B+. (To be continued.) )
