The two returned to Earth. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Info And at this time the Earth has passed less than three days. They stayed on Aurora Island for another half a day, and waited until dusk to quietly return to Tianhai in a flying machine.

Considering that the rental house had not been occupied for several days, the two stayed in the hotel. Sima Yun had been living with Zhuang Bifan for almost a year in the space where Hei Yan was, and he had no intention of separating when he returned to Earth. Zhuang Bifan is also planning to buy a house.

The next morning he discussed the matter with her. Sima Yun also agreed. She was originally a person who lived with brocade clothes and jade food, if Zhuang Bifan had no money, she could also suffer with Zhuang Bifan. Now that Zhuang Bifan has money, she doesn't need to deliberately save anything.

The two discussed for a while and decided that it would be better to buy a detached villa. It would be better if there was a small manor, so that the android bodyguards brought back by Zhuang Bifan could also be arranged.

Zhuang Bifan was pressed for time, so he called the real estate agent and discussed with Sima Yun what to do next.

Sima Yun also knew now that they didn't have much time now. She thought for a moment and said, "I think we should first implement the plan for the northern river transport network." The benefits of this plan outweigh the disadvantages for everyone, and there should be no objection to it. ”

Zhuang Bifan nodded and said, "Okay." Then I'll talk to Ming Ziluo. ”

Sima Yun said, "I'd better go." If you go, the goal is too big, and it will inevitably make people reverie. It would be better for me to go. ”

He thought about it for a while, and felt that he was afraid of 10,000 if he was not afraid. If it was said that before he wanted to take down the North Railway Group just to defeat the mighty Ma family, now there is one more reason not to allow failure. If he goes to Ming Ziluo and attracts the attention of the Ma family, it may have an impact on his acquisition of the Northern Railway.

He nodded and said, "Okay, you go talk to him." ”

"Also, I think we can talk about exchanging that piece of land. The sooner you talk, the better it will be for your plans. ”

Zhuang Bifan nodded and said, "Okay, I'll leave it to you." I've already told you about the conditions, and you can relax them appropriately. Anyway, that land must be taken now. ”

"I understand." Sima Yun nodded and said. "And what are you going to do next?"

"Let's first understand the acquisition of the Northern Railway. Then let's see what Zhu Tao is looking for me. "Zhu Tao sent him a text message because his phone couldn't get through, saying that he had something to look for him." If it's easy to fix on his side, I'll go to Aurora Island while the next batch of records is sent to Aurora Island. ”

"Hmm. The sooner you go there, the better. The two of them were together again, and they had lived in the black flame space for so long, and now they were suddenly separated, and she was somewhat reluctant in her heart. Just for the sake of Zhuang Bifan's body, Zhuang Bifan must go to the Black Flame Space as soon as possible.

He was worried and said, "You don't have to worry, Hei Yan's calculus ability is still very strong. Maybe after a while, it will find a solution.

She nodded and said, "I hope so." But you are not allowed to do dangerous experiments! "Last time, he even proposed to use a super electric field to try to destroy the unknown mechanism of alienation energy generation. If it weren't for her resolute opposition, Hei Yan's computer that only listened to him might have really done it for him.

He nodded and said, "Okay, I won't do it!" ”

After discussion, he booked a plane ticket to the capital. Since the plane was at noon, he showed up at the hotel and contacted Leohard to inquire about the Northern Railroad stock acquisition plan.

"Mr. Zhuang, the plan is going quite smoothly now. We now only buy 1.5% to 2% of the shares in the secondary market every day, which is a relatively large percentage, but not only does it not attract the attention of the North Rail Group, but we also find that they are quietly releasing their shares. As of yesterday, we have acquired 5.4% of the outstanding shares from the secondary market. At the same time, several non-sensible shareholders who held a small number of shares were contacted and their total 2.4% of the shares were acquired at a certain premium. ”

"You say they're selling stocks in the secondary market, what's going on?" Zhuang Bifan was stunned. That's obviously not normal. "Do those shareholders think that the North Railway Group is going to collapse?"

Leohard put his speculation on it: "We suspect that they are seeing that the stock price is around $28 now, but they expect it to continue to fall, but after a while, it will rebound." So sell the stock now and hold it again when the investor pays the panic selling. ”

Zhuang Bifan felt that his speculation was not very reasonable. Unless the Ma family finds a way to deal with the "single change", it is absolutely impossible for their stock price to recover: "Are you sure? If the stock price collapses, their losses will be significant. And where do they have the certainty of getting the stock price back? ”

"Two days ago, the Minister of Transport said that he would do everything he could to ensure the stability of the transport industry across the country."

Zhuang Bifan heard the news, and thought of Zhu Tao saying that he had something to look for him. I wonder if these two things are related. Is the government going to support the Ma family?

After ending the call with Leohard, they went to Ruiyun Network Security together.

Zhu Tao originally had a class in the morning, but after receiving a call from Zhuang Bifan, he asked for leave to wait for them in the company.

Zhuang Bifan asked him what he was looking for.

The smile on Zhu Tao's face proved that it was not a bad thing. He took out a document and said, "This is our income the other day. As of 0:00 yesterday, there were more than 80 million paying subscribers. However, only one-third of users choose to pay as an annual fee or as a semi-annual fee, and the rest are paid as a monthly fee. ”

Zhuang Bifan took a look, and this time he earned nearly 5 billion yuan, which is not bad. And that's just the beginning, when the trial period has passed, other trial users will only have to pay for the computer as long as they still want to use it. He nodded and said, "Let's keep this money in the company's account for the time being." If you need it urgently, you can withdraw your share of the dividend. ”

Zhu Tao didn't care about this, and only said: "Wood, do we just hold a firewall to collect money?" I think we can do something else with it. ”

His words made Zhuang Bifan and Sima Yun look at him curiously, wanting to hear what good ideas he had.

Zhu Tao said with a smile: "I have studied the operation methods of other cybersecurity companies these days. They mainly make money through consulting advertising and games. And we have the unique advantage of completely tying the users into our hands, and the quality of the servers is super high. You'll also get advanced technology from Aurora Island. If we can develop better games, I think we can start a game business as well. Nowadays, those games are usually very expensive, but we can use the monthly fee to let all players play equally, although that will make those local tyrant players unhappy, but as long as we can attract those players who have no money, we will achieve the goal. ”

When Zhuang Bifan heard this suggestion, he felt that it was really not unreasonable. Now no one can develop software that works against "monomutable" viruses. But according to his plan, it won't be too long. Because the rapid development of a civilization is inseparable from computing power, and it can even be said that it is inseparable from intelligence. He plans to hand over some of the computer technology that can be applied by humans on the Black Flame side to humans. At that time, Xiaobao virus will no longer be a stubborn disease.

If we take advantage of the market now and develop other functions that can stick to users, AYBY will be forced to stop charging fees in the future, and there will be other businesses that can make a profit. Then Ruiyun will be able to continue to operate.

What's more, Zhu Tao's suggestion also means that he has entered the role of a corporate manager. He didn't want to discourage him from doing so.

Thinking of this, he nodded and said, "That's fine." I'm planning to take another trip to Aurora Island to see if they have the technology to do it. By the way, get a few more servers back. He paused, then asked. But you're looking for me about this? ”

"Two more things to tell you. Because you can't get in touch, the Music Society has found me here. Listen to what they mean, hoping that through you you can sell other singers' records to Aurora Island. ”

Zhuang Bifan didn't know how to answer when he heard it. The records sent to Aurora Island are still piled up there. Could it be that he can still pay for those records out of his own pocket? However, he did not refuse, and said perfunctorily: "I asked if there was such a possibility." What else? ”

"There are also people from the Ministry of Transportation, who want us to lift the ban on the North Railway Group so that they can also use AYBY. But I passed it perfunctorily. But strangely, they seemed to be just making a show, and I didn't say anything when I refused them. There was no follow-up either. ”

Zhuang Bifan also couldn't understand what the Ministry of Communications meant, whether it was just a gesture to show the North Railway Group.

He asked, "What is the situation of the North Rail Group now?" ”

"Almost paralyzed. Not only has the capacity of the transport rail system dropped by more than 70 percent, but even the capacity of the metro has dropped by 50 percent, and the delay rate has exceeded 90 percent. ”

It can be said that the Northern Railway Group also had a great impact on the economy of the entire Chinese Empire. However, Zhuang Bifan and Ming Ziluo cooperated, and perhaps it was Ming Ziluo who came forward and reached an agreement with other families to sacrifice the Northern Railway Group, so the imperial government did not take any action against this situation.

But it's not normal to be so quiet right now. It stands to reason that the government is faced with such a chaotic traffic between the east and the west, how can it carry out some mediation, even if it is for show. But it never was.

Could it be that the Ming family has really reached an agreement with some other families to use this opportunity to get rid of the Jingzhao Consortium together?

However, he also knew that such a time could not be too long, and if the east-west traffic was interrupted for too long, the Chinese Empire would not be able to stand it. At that time, the pressure on him may increase dramatically. Everyone will ask Ruiyun Network Security to lift the ban on the Ma family.

It seems that he has to speed up his actions and get the Northern Railway in his hands as soon as possible. Otherwise, Ming Ziluo may not be able to last long.
