ps: This chapter is for the "relief man" lord to add more.

While worry-free payment companies were invaded by rumors and struggled in the vortex of dangerous public opinion, PayPal was also uneasy, and one shocking incident after another quietly occurred.

PayPal office area.

A young yellow-haired thief walked around the corridor, looked left and right, took out his mobile phone, and dialed out.

"Ulysses, it has been fully confirmed, that Peter Thiel is leaving...... Yes, haven't seen him again these days...... Yes, Musk took over the position of CEO, and after taking office, he had a very unpleasant quarrel with the CTO (Chief Technology Officer...... I know...... You can rest assured, when they are incompatible, it is my chance...... Haha, that's good, I'll do a good job of this vote......"

Xiao Huangmao quietly passed the news out, and repeatedly confirmed his requirements during the call, before he hung up the phone with satisfaction, and turned back to the technical area again.

At this time, PayPal's technical department can feel the dullness from a distance, the employees are listless, and the work efficiency is not too high.

Not just because of the departure of the original CEO Peter Thiel, but also because of the conflict between the new CEO Elon Musk and the team of engineers led by CTO Max Levchen.

The origin is that PayPal is preparing version 2.0, and everyone has a dispute about what system to use to develop a new version of PayPal. As a result, despite the opposition of the engineering team, Musk made a decision to let everyone use the indos-nt system for development, which was resisted by many original PayPal engineers, so the progress of the new version has been very slow.

Xiao Huangmao put away the smugness in his heart, pretended to be calm, and silently returned to work in front of his computer.

As soon as he sat down, he received a secret CC email, and before he finished reading the content, his eyes lit up, he suppressed his excitement, quietly glanced left and right, and nodded tacitly with his close comrades.

Xiao Huang Mao did not delete the email immediately, but quietly saved it in a secret place. Then he cooperated with the members of the small team, began to carry out the boss's orders, and secretly made a large-scale questionnaire for the PayPal software.

……

At midnight the next day, Elon Musk was on a business trip when he suddenly received a call from a subordinate, and before he could finish listening to the other party's statement, he began to get angry and angry.

After hanging up the phone, he frantically called, asked for responsibility, and said angrily to the product manager: "Stop all the work at hand immediately! Stop research! Continue to replace the brand!"

Hassle-free payment company.

Richie, the head of public relations, smiled and led an FBI fraud officer to Roy's office.

"Hi Roy, Mr. Locke has come to thank you, with the assistance of the Technical Department, they quickly caught two Russian fraudsters. Richie smiled and introduced.

This middle-aged FBI agent named Locke is well-dressed and in excellent spirits, dedicated to his work, and very motivated.

"Thank you, Mr. Roy, that we would not have been able to arrest them so efficiently without the precise criminal traits you provided. ”

"Ha, Mr. Locke is polite, this is what our company should do, and we will increase anti-fraud related capital investment in the future to create a good atmosphere for the payment platform. Roy coped modestly, hiding the anxiety and impatience in his heart, so he could only put aside the work at hand for now, after all, he might be useful to Locke in the future.

Locke was obviously very interested in Roy, and had no intention of leaving at all, sitting down to drink coffee, and asked unhurriedly: "I have observed that the recent fraud cases on worry-free payment have plummeted, but the fraud cases on PayPal continue to rise, is there any hidden technology in this?"

Roy glanced at the picture of the registration verification code in the lower right corner of the registration page of the Worry-Free Payment website, which is exactly this commonplace technology in the future, which prevents hackers from registering Worry-Free Payment accounts in batches through registration robots, and directly reduces the fraud loss of Worry-Free Payment by 70%.

The specific operation is to generate an image at the bottom of the registered account, with various distorted letters printed on it, and the background is blurry - people can recognize these letters, but it is difficult for machines to recognize them, so automatic registration will not work. Historically, this registration method for verifying images has been carried forward by PayPal.

Roy originally fantasized about applying for a patent, and in the future, as long as any company uses the technology to verify the image code, wouldn't it be able to charge a patent fee?

However, after asking Noah, he learned that because there are so many variations of this technology for verifying pictures, even if a patent is applied, it is easy for opponents to bypass it by other means, and it is not necessarily possible to win a patent lawsuit. Eventually, Roy had to abandon the idea. (For details on the Patent Law, please refer to Chapter 88)

However, even if applying for a patent does not form a competitive barrier, Roy does not plan to popularize the magic skill of verifying pictures in advance, and see who has the most commercial vision, and who will take it first.

Roy smiled: "This is indeed a trade secret, and it is inconvenient to leak it." ”

Locke smiled and nodded, "It's a pity." If this technology can be widely used, it will definitely reduce the number of cases by a large amount. ”

Roy listened as if there was something in the other party's words, and he looked at Richie with an inquiring look.

Rich politely refused: "If this technology can really help the government, then it doesn't hurt for us to make it public, it's just ......"

Locke nodded in understanding, "If this technology can be made public, I will apply to the leadership for some special awards, and I will thank the company for its contribution in the news report." ”

Fame!

Roy's heart was pounding, this was definitely a good thing, and it was also a shortcut to save worry-free payment from the whirlpool of public opinion. He stabilized his mind, wanting to welcome and refuse, "This ...... It's a bit ...... It's embarrassing, but it's not impossible to ...... compared to the interests of society as a whole," Roy winked at Richie.

Rich pretended to stop: "-Roy, Noah hasn't voted yet, after all, this is not a matter of one person, it is related to the interests of the entire company, but we have set up a special anti-fraud team, and the cost is very great!"

Roy hesitated, "Mr. Locke, look, can we have a meeting to discuss it first?"

Locke watched the performance in his eyes, the other party wanted to raise his own chips, but this is a good thing for mutual benefit and win-win, and if the number of online financial crime cases declines, this is also his own political achievement. He got up and shook hands and said, "I hope your company will decide as soon as possible." ”

"Okay, we'll let you know the result as soon as we deliberate. ”

Sending Locke away, Roy was very excited, and now the rumors that the worry-free payment fund chain will break at any time are boiling, causing the function of Yu'e Bao to exist in name only, and the frequency of cash withdrawals has also increased a lot for individual customers who use worry-free payment transfers. The aftermath of this series has greatly increased the operational pressure on worry-free paylines.

Next, if there is new good news to inject confidence into users, it will undoubtedly solve the urgent need.

Roy finds Noah, settles the matter, and appoints Richie as the head of the public opinion war.

At the same time, Ulysses also found Roy in a hurry, with ecstasy on his face, "Boss, something big happened to PayPal, our chance has come!"

Roy's eyes suddenly sharpened, dazzling like the stars in the sky, and he smiled as if he was slamming and slamming the eight extremes—it was finally over.
