Chapter 32: The Original Sin of Greed - Medium
After saying goodbye to Chen Shoufu, Gu Cheng immediately called Zhou Hongyi. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Boss Zhou, it's not righteous, and after selling the news, you will end up in person? ”
Zhou Hongyi on the other end of the phone reacted for a while before realizing what Gu Cheng was talking about.
"Hehe, it's been almost a month, you can't talk about it yourself, who is to blame? Business opportunities are fleeting. What if the bubble bursts before you can talk about it? Isn't it impossible for anyone to do it? Rather than wasting the opportunity, it's better to leave it to my brother to do it. ”
Gu Cheng found himself speechless.
"Hehe, you really dare to say, then we have nothing to talk about. Brother has been in the business world for five months, and he has never seen such a brazen person. ”
He hung up the phone with a sneer and pulled Zhou Hongyi's number into the blacklist.
Then he thought about it and took a taxi back to his residence in the capital - it was still the hotel in Anheqiao, which was cheaper.
Pan Jieying was contacting the supplier online, and when she saw Gu Cheng coming back, she asked:
"So early today, have you finished talking to Zhang Long?"
"! was cut off by that old thing in Zhou Hongyi!"
"What's going on?" Pan Jieying asked with concern.
Gu Cheng frowned and said: "I don't know, it is estimated that with Zhou Hongyi's temperament, he must have found some trick to greatly reduce the cost of the botnet, so he wants to win by running at an ultra-low price and rushing through all the hackers in the current circle." ”
Pan Jieying couldn't understand the logic: "How could it be?
Gu Cheng can't say that he relied on the "glorious deed" of "Zhou Hongyi will wipe out the domestic paid antivirus software market through a free war in seven years", and reversed Boss Zhou's nature, right?
Therefore, he can only make a straight cut and do not explain.
Pan Jieying didn't continue to ask.
Gu Cheng lit a cigarette depressedly and sighed: "Greed is the devil, let's take away all the old customers as soon as possible." Zhou Hongyi entered the scene, and I always had a bad premonition. ”
Pan Jieying agreed very virtuously: "Eh, okay." We also have millions, and it will be good for An'an to do serious business in the future. This kind of fearful days are enough. ”
Gu Cheng pinched his cigarette and said, "After collecting the money, you are also ready to apply for a visa." Let's fly to Seoul and buy the agency of 'Legend'. ”
……
The sister and brother made a decision, and they swept the tail in the capital while applying for a business visa.
In the blink of an eye, another ten days have passed, and this day is already the early morning of August 24 - US time, or August 23.
Gu Cheng still has the last customer left in hand, and the balance of 400,000 yuan has not been received.
At 2 o'clock in the morning that day, he was sleeping in a daze, woke up with urine, and got up to go to the toilet.
turned out to see Pan Jieying wearing only lace underwear, sitting in front of the laptop in a daze, as if she was enchanted.
There were no lights in the room, only the screen of the laptop glowed with cold light. Pan Jieying's snow-white skin is reflected in the blue and faint, a bit like a ghost movie.
On Pan Jieying's bed, the blankets and sheets were scattered and crumpled at random, and she obviously got up all night improvised.
Luckily, it's August, and it's hot.
Gu Cheng looked distressed for a while, picked up a towel blanket and wrapped it in his cousin.
"I don't sleep in the middle of the night, I go to the net, and I am careful of catching a cold. ”
Pan Jieying came to her senses at this time, leaned on her cousin, raised her hand and pointed at the screen and said, "You...... Look at the news, no...... It's not going to be a big deal. ”
"What's wrong?" Gu Cheng helped his cousin back to the bed and covered her with a blanket, before looking at the webpage.
Pan Jieying watched the online version of the Wall Street Journal before.
The browser also opens several pages, namely The New York Times, CNN CNN, and Fortune Review.
"Wall Street Journal commentator's article: According to ALEXA, Amazon, Yahoo and other sources, it has been confirmed that recently, the indicator of 'daily active IP of websites', which has always been considered impossible to defraud on a large scale, has also been broken by the black industry chain, forming a situation as serious as the 'average daily PV' half a year ago. ”
"This kind of data fraud that deceives investors mainly takes advantage of a new Internet vulnerability called a botnet. According to technical officials at the NSA, the botnet was initially infected through a Huaxia hacking software called Binghe.
However, with the recent emergence of the IP model, international hackers have carried out rapid technical iterations and developed a program called 'Gray Pigeon'. It is reported that the botnet caused by the 'gray pigeon' will spread at least ten times faster than the 'glacier'.
We can't help but ask: In such a highly fraudulent environment, what kind of enterprise statement data can our high-tech stock investors still trust? Is it true that the practice of evaluating the market value of Internet companies by looking at traffic and the number of registered users has been wrong from the beginning? Should we go back to evaluating the financial indicators of enterprise turnover and net profit to judge the degree to which Internet companies are good or bad?
According to the latest news from CNN's front reporter: Since the Wall Street Journal disclosed this morning, including the problems provided by various big data monitoring authorities and the NSA, the Nasdaq index has fallen by more than 1,000 points as of 1 hour before today's close, and many people have no doubt: this wave of plunge may exceed the plunge on March 13, and the trend will not stop tomorrow. ”
"The Nasdaq fell below 3,000 points...... Lost 2500 points...... Lost 2000 points ......"
The White House and the Fed have not said anything about this. ”
After watching all this, Gu Cheng was a little stupid.
"This ...... Could this be the total collapse of the Internet bubble, which has come ahead of schedule? Impossible, right? It is clearly written in the history books that the Internet bubble was completely burst after the new president of the United States, Xiao Budie, came to power!
Clinton is innocent! Otherwise, how could Gore, the vice president, be able to draw almost with Xiao Bu in the general election? If the economy is not good, the ruling class will definitely lose by a large margin to the opposition file. ”
"Could it be...... Is it all the butterfly effect caused by me? Did I make the world start to fake in advance, and burst the credit bubble in advance?"
Countless thoughts roared and swirled in Gu Cheng's head, giving him a splitting headache.
"Ah Cheng, we can't find out about this matter, right? We don't know what the 'gray pigeon' is, don't you say?"
Pan Jieying was lying on the bed, not sleeping at all, and had been secretly observing her cousin's reaction. Seeing that her cousin was also stunned, her heart became more and more furious, and she leaned over to shake him, trying to wake him up from his loss.
Gu Cheng swallowed a mouthful of bitter saliva, and felt that his lips were dry and cracked: "Don't worry, you can't find it." Our business has been laundered, disguised as a serious business. I just can't figure it out......"
"That's good, that's good, it's okay, let's think slowly, let's not rush. Pan Jieying took her younger brother into her arms and comforted her softly.
Gu Cheng pondered in a daze, without distractions, and it took a long time to come back to his senses.
Historically, the dot-com bubble should not have lasted until early 2001. It's just that for the sake of Gore's general election, Clinton released water and fish to continue to blow up the bubble, hoping that it would not collapse before the election, and not during his own term of office.
Therefore, it was the Fed's series of monetary policies and increasing the supply of investment that made the bubble hold for two or three more months, and then burst after the picks were given to Xiao Immortal.
Now, the bubble burst has been brought forward by me, so Clinton knows that even if she tries her best, she can't cover the lid and simply doesn't cover it. But he blamed the 'grey dove' – that is, my butterfly effect may have predated the bubble by two months, not five, and I didn't have that much energy at all. ”
"Originally, the birth time of the gray pigeon virus should have happened to be about the same as the day when the little immortal president took over power. It is very likely that the last straw for the collapse of the Internet bubble in history was that 'the botnet made the last originally reliable traffic indicator lose credibility in the investment community', and then collapsed the confidence of most investors in the circle.
It's just that California has always been the iron vote warehouse of democracy, so Silicon Valley people generally like Clinton and hate Xiao Immortal. Therefore, later historical commentaries on the Internet have summarized the cause of the collapse of the Internet bubble as the mediocre economic policies of the newly incumbent Republican president, and deliberately ignored the gray pigeon virus and the collapse of data credibility that occurred at about the same time!"
Thinking about all this, Gu Cheng's heart suddenly cleared.
It turns out that the "historians" of the rice people also have Spring and Autumn penmanship when writing history books!
Tricked him, a future traveler!
Then he realized that his head was still resting on two fragrant lumps of plump soft meat.
He blushed and broke free.
"Sister, don't worry, I'm fine. ”
Pan Jieying's mental state is not as good as Gu Cheng. It wasn't so much that she was comforting her brother, but that she was even more scared in her own heart.
"It's really okay? Alas, why do you say that we are small citizens who make a little money, make such a big fuss? When I think of all those big news on CNN, it was all because ......of us in the first place."
"Sister, no matter what, I'll take it, you can sleep in peace, don't think about it. ”
Gu Cheng said, turned off the computer, and went back to his bed to sleep.
Pan Jieying also learned that she fell asleep.
This night, Gu Cheng always heard the sound of turning over on the bed next to him, and it didn't stop until it was almost dawn.
Alas, my cousin still has too poor psychological quality and has never seen a big scene.
