More than two years ago, when Gu Cheng first came to this world, he was just an ordinary person with superior intelligence and foresight. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

At that time, there may have been hundreds of thousands of people on earth who were as intelligent as him.

Therefore, before he thoroughly understood the situation, he still had a certain reverence for "history".

Even though he knew that he was extraordinary, he still used words like "boom" and "bust" as background colors, and never thought about changing them.

At best, I dare to say, "Regardless of whether the macro economy is a depression or a boom, I will find my own way to make money and succeed."

But that all changed in September 2000.

At that moment, he found that the "macro history" that "the total collapse of the Internet bubble should have erupted in the first two months after the little immortal president took office" could also be driven by his butterfly effect.

He detonated botnets and new applications for gray pigeons, dismantled the human integrity evaluation system for Internet advertising in advance, and all of this was naturally advanced.

However, even then, he only had a slight rift with the credo that the macro situation cannot be changed.

He only knows how he has exposed the false prosperity, but he cannot think of how to rebuild a healthy prosperity.

To use a kendo term, "Shou Po Li" to evaluate.

Before Gu Cheng appeared, the Internet industry was "guarding", and Gu Cheng's butterfly effect was "broken" in advance, but he still didn't know how to "leave".

Keep is blind trust that does not distinguish between truth and falsification;

Breaking is to expose the blind optimism in this trust, and then go to the other extreme in an instant, knocking over an earthling person with a stick;

It is to reshape a pair of eyes that penetrate the fog and distinguish truly valuable Internet traffic and advertising from fake data.

However, after accepting the "system task" of "persuading the top management of China Unicom to believe that the Internet winter is about to pass and promoting the early acceleration of China's network infrastructure", Gu Cheng has thought a lot in just one or two weeks.

In the end, at the meeting convened by Cardinal Qi, he had a heated argument with Professor Wu, which made his spiritual platform clear and clear.

"I put the last straw on my own hands and let the world be depressed. Today I will bring this world back with my own hands. ”

With this grand idea in mind, he mobilized a few infallible henchmen and programmers, and spent about ten days perfecting several of his algorithmic ideas according to his secret instructions.

Note that it's just the idea of the algorithm, not the algorithm itself.

After all, Gu Cheng is not a rote memorizer, as a data master decades later, he knows a lot of outdated history of algorithm thinking, but it is impossible to memorize all algorithms.

I don't know how to make an algorithm fit the technical background of today's era and be compatible with the hardware environment of this era.

If you take a big data analysis algorithm suitable for NVIDIA GPUs to execute in parallel, and put it in the physical environment where only Intel CPUs are used for computing, and there is no support from the deep learning system, the efficiency may be dozens of times lower than that of the algorithms optimized by programmers in this era.

(Note: NVIDIA, NVIDIA)

Let the people of this era do the work that makes the ideas concrete, Gu Cheng is only suitable for the outline and the strategic direction.

……

Ten days later, at the end of May.

Two days before the concert, he took the time to fly to the capital and asked to meet Boss Li of his mother's family.

Gu Cheng's strategy also needs a partner.

Because he does not have a powerful search engine, nor does he have the big data accumulated by the search behavior of Chinese netizens over the years.

And these two things, only Boss Li has in China.

In this matter, the two parties can only cooperate, and then take this opportunity to leverage Boss Li to allow Gu Cheng to buy a little stock in Baidu, and exchange a few more off-market conditions.

Among the three giants of BAT, Boss Li was the most beautiful in his early years.

Gu Cheng's current reputation in the Internet circle is not as high as Boss Li, but he is richer than Boss Li. The two sides are basically on an equal footing, and Boss Li doesn't dare to hold it up in front of him.

When Gu Cheng arrived in Zhongguancun, he didn't delay at all, and went straight to the Baidu headquarters.

This is the first time the two have met.

Boss Li was originally the first handsome in the Internet circle, but as soon as he was crushed by Gu Cheng, a guy who crossed the circle from the entertainment industry, he could only be speechless in this regard. The "young and promising" that Boss Li is proud of has nothing to show off in front of Gu Cheng - Gu Cheng is 15 years younger than him.

Boss Li poured Gu Cheng a cup of coffee, and the two sat down on the sofa, so he asked half-jokingly: "Xiao Gu is really a rare guest." Making games is so profitable, and it can even be seen that it cooperates with Baidu. I guess it's not to spend money to buy shares? ”

Boss Li said this, but he was still self-conscious in his heart: The shareholders behind me don't have pit goods like Yingke Digital, and you don't want to think about it if you expect them to sell shares.

Gu Cheng took a sip of coffee and said calmly: "The shares must be wanted, but it is definitely a combination of two benefits, not to smash you with money, you are willing to cooperate after listening to it." ”

"Oh? That's a good idea. Boss Li was moody and humble.

"I don't know what Mr. Li thinks about the prospect of the Internet winter? Do you think the depression will pass soon?" Gu Cheng did not directly explain his intentions.

There are some things that need to be fully understood by the other party in order to show the value of the solution provider.

It is still necessary to swing the dragon gate array slightly.

"The depression should not pass so quickly, and it usually takes three or four years for everyone to slowly calm down and rebuild trust. However, if there is a strong man with an iron fist, and unexpected epoch-making technology and management support, it is not impossible to cut through the mess quickly. ”

Boss Li only thought about it for a moment before saying this opinion.

Obviously, he has been thinking about this question all the time, and his insights are really much more clever than those of Professor Wu's old bricks.

Gu Cheng was also amused by Boss Li's elegance: "The Internet is an open and flat world, and Mr. Li actually expects an iron-fisted strongman? Isn't this too fateful to ask for fish? It's not like the words of Internet people." ”

Boss Li smiled and explained: "It's just a cliché. Most of the world's depressions can be brought out early through the intervention of strongmen with an iron fist? Hitler, Roosevelt, all such people. ”

Gu Cheng obviously didn't understand the essence of Boss Li's words, and couldn't help but be a little disdainful: "Do you mean to engage in demand pulling like them?" Mr. Li, I didn't say you, that kind of stimulus may be effective for other depressions, but it is useless for the Internet. If that's how you interpret it, I'm going to underestimate your insight. ”

Boss Li naturally denied Gu Cheng's speculation: "Of course, what I'm talking about is not to stimulate domestic demand, and that kind of measure has no technical content at all." Roosevelt and Hitler's greatest move was not a major demolition. ”

"Oh, then I would like to listen to the arguments, I wonder what Mr. Lee thinks Roosevelt and Hitler's greatest de-depression move was?"

In the economics and history textbooks in China, because of the prevalence of Keynesian doctrine, when the most classic means of stimulating the economy out of the depression are mentioned, Hitler and Roosevelt's large-scale demolition and construction will inevitably be the first to be recommended.

Boss Li said that the most ingenious method of these two ancients was not to demolish and rebuild, which suddenly made Gu Cheng interested.

For a moment, Gu Cheng even wanted to play with Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu each writing the stalk of "fire attack" on the palm of their hands.

In that case, it will be easier to talk about the rest of the matter.

Boss Li said: "Roosevelt's most classic move was to establish the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, and Hitler's most classic move was to carry out bank guarantee reform according to Dr. Schacht's suggestion.

After the Great Depression, it was relatively easy for the industry to be saved, as long as there was an order stimulus. But the financial system is very difficult to save, and if one bank runs, even if other banks are doing well, they will be run in panic. Of the ten birds in the tree, one was killed by one shot, and the rest were scared away.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) solves this problem at its root: it draws deposit insurance money from all commercial banks in the country and assumes the overall guarantee liability for the deposits of any commercial bank in the event of bankruptcy, thus eliminating the trust of the people of the whole country in the security of deposits. only to save the financial system of the United States.

The Internet and finance are both virtual economies, so to save them, orders are not the key, but the reconstruction of the credit system is the most critical. ”

Gu Cheng didn't expect that Boss Li, Peking University, was really not in vain, in addition to computer knowledge, he was also quite literate in other aspects.

"Papapa~" Gu Cheng applauded several times, happily, "Well said, Mr. Li has this insight, but it saves me a lot of nonsense." ”

"What?" Boss Li also raised his spirits, looking forward to Gu Cheng's later ideas.

"Mr. Li, are you interested in building a 'Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation in the Internet world' with me and rebuilding this credit system? I need to use search engines and search behavior statistics, otherwise, you won't have a chance to cooperate with me. ”

Boss Li felt a surge in blood pressure, and adrenaline was secreted wildly: "Can you be specific?"

"I first needed a framework agreement for cooperation, based on the 'efficacy' of the stake and the letter of commitment. After all, I only have an algorithm system here, and the guiding ideology behind it. You know, neither copyright law nor patent law protects algorithms and ideas. If I play with the board, I have one less hole card. ”

"It's too strong, at least you should tell me the expected effect and route first, right?"

Gu Cheng gave Boss Li a look forward to the core idea of the system construction of a platform called ADSENS.

And took out the algorithm path that he asked his R&D team to spend 10 days to figure out, as well as the function iteration table, and spent fifteen minutes to explain it clearly.

Boss Li was completely shocked.

He always thought that Gu Cheng was a lucky person who only knew how to operate and happened to have rich artistic talents.

But he couldn't imagine that Gu Cheng was still a genius of algorithmic thinking.

Thinker.

He felt that his undergraduate studies at Peking University and NYU University were a bit of a loss.
