911。

In the eyes of many people, this is just a very ordinary number: in the eyes of some fans, it represents the British band 911; In the eyes of some fans, it represents the classic Porsche 911; For the majority of Americans, it is also a police phone number!

However, on this day of September 11, 2oo1...... History, however, has given this number an unusual significance!

At 8:46 a.m. on September 11, 2oo1, an American Airlines Boeing 767 aircraft flying from Boston to New York with flight number F1IGHT11 was hijacked and slammed into the North side of the World Trade Center building in Manhattan, New York, causing smoke to billow and explode.

In this rare historical moment, countless people in and around New York do not know what they have just given birth to, and what they are about to give birth, their expressions are dazed, their expressions are dull, and they seem to be dreamy, until the second wave of terrorist attacks comes......

At 9:03, another small plane rushed towards the north side of the World Trade Center building at a very fast speed, and the plane crashed into one side of the building, passed through the other side, and caused a huge explosion!

Two injured buildings collapsed one after the other, and more than 1,500 people were killed and injured in two explosions, but it wasn't over yet!

At 9:45, the Pentagon, which symbolizes the brain of the United States, was also attacked by a hijacked Boeing plane and partially collapsed, the plane crashed into a corner of the Pentagon, killing all 64 members on board!

At 1o:2o, a Boeing 757 was hijacked shortly after leaving Newark International Airport, headed straight for Washington, D.C., and then crashed high into the Pennsylvania countryside, where passengers were speculated to have struggled with the hijackers to prevent the plane from crashing into its target. None of the 45 members were spared!

At 22:35, a car bomb exploded at the U.S. Department of State, and all departments of the U.S. government were evacuated!

……

This is a disaster that ordinary people cannot imagine, and its horror lies in the fact that the target of the perpetrators is no longer military personnel, but ordinary people who yearn for a peaceful and happy life...... The perpetrators used terror to force the United States to compromise with NATO, but their actions provoked a strong backlash from the people of the United States and even the world, and the new hegemonism in the name of "anti-terrorism" was reborn in the ruins of the World Trade Tower, and countless sensational "conspiracy theories" were born in later generations!

The paradox of history is here!

This is a giant nuclear bomb at the level of politics! And on an economic level. It is true that the United States has been severely injured, and the rest of the world is not alone, and they don't even have a chance to laugh!

According to reports, there are at least 15o offices of financial institutions and IT companies in the World Trade Tower, which control and process at least billions of dollars in customer investments, and although the actual damage from this tragedy cannot be immediately calculated, thousands of Wall Street elites, including IT leaders, economic analysts, economists or traders, have been killed in the attack, such as: Daniel, founder and CTO of Akamai? Levin. Cyber security vendor EG Day Ty CFO James? E. Hayden, Co., COO of Thoratec Inc. Thomas Hayden, California Thoratec Co., Ltd. Bonet, Virginia-based wireless information company Metroca11 Chair Operations Officer Steve Brown? D and a number of other high-level personnel of influential companies in the United States have been confirmed to be killed!

At Espeed, which is on the upper floor of 1O5, all the people working in the building have died. The famous Morgan Stanley Bank, which occupies 25 floors in the World Trade Center, has an indescribable impact on it. Citigroup's Salomon Barney, Goldman Sachs, Merrill Lynch and other well-known financial institutions have considerable trading floors and offices in this area, and they are now covered by the dust that fell from the explosion of the World Trade Center.

Today's Manhattan is already the undisputed center of world finance. Nearly two-thirds of the world's capital flows run here. The twin towers of the World Trade Center, which symbolize the United States and even the international financial center, belong to the same Manhattan borough as the famous Wall Street, just a few blocks away.

After the World Trade Center collapsed with a bang, Wall Street was also plunged into a huge cloud of smoke. Many exchanges, including the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange and the Nasdaq Exchange, have almost completely halted trading this week, announcing an indefinite suspension of trading activities.

The blow to the financial markets and the IT industry from this terrorist attack cannot be measured in terms of money alone, and no one can estimate the magnitude of the loss!

The European foreign exchange market has seen a sharp shock in the aftermath of the disaster, with the pound hitting a six-month high against the dollar, while only the oil sector has risen in global stock trading.

Oil prices in London's Brent oil futures market surged to $31.o5 a barrel, the highest level since December. The essence of the fear of oil prices is the fear of war, and while the supply of oil to the world is not an immediate problem at the moment, traders suspect that it is related to the recent instability in the Middle East, further fearing that a possible retaliatory move will affect oil security.

This turmoil also affected Song Chen personally, his family, and all the employees of his company! After the birth of 911, Song Chen warned his mother and lovers not to go far away, while also showing the "panicked" attitude that ordinary CEOs should have when they encounter such a thing, encouraging employees to work from home, and ordering employees who are on a business trip not to fly to New York and Washington for a short time.

But the catastrophe is far from over, as the shock waves continue to spread, and the 911 attacks have made the already sluggish global economic outlook even more dim, and Asian stock markets have fallen in the aftermath of the attacks. The Hang Seng Index of the Hong Kong stock market plummeted by more than 1,000 points shortly after the opening of the market, reaching a minimum of 9,344 points, a decline of more than 1o%. Broad-cap stocks suffered across the board, with computer and telecom stocks falling particularly hard – Lenovo fell as low as HK$2.6, down more than 16%.

The Nasdaq exchange opened after the 911 incident, falling from a high of 5,248 last year to below 13oo now, which is almost a slump, and has not recovered for more than a decade.

Chenxing's three major listed companies are obviously impossible to stay out of the matter, Chenxing Network fell from the highest $9.o7 in the past few days all the way to $4.31, and 8848 fell to $5.26. Ctrip.com fell from a double-digit 12.74 to $6.79, a worse decline than Lenovo.

The three major web portals Sina, Sohu, and NetEase, which are also listed in the United States, have all fallen into junk stocks below one dollar, and China's concept stocks have all suffered more desperate frenzied sell-offs since the Nasdaq stock market crash, and even once there was a strange thing that the cash of listed companies was higher than the market value.

The IT industry is full of grief, and the gaming industry is not immune.

In the next few days after the horrific incident, all game websites stopped updating for a while, including the famous GameSpot, IGN, etc., and they either mourned or condemned the victims on their pages.

Some pre-orders for the original release of the game have been delayed for a reason. But none of them had a big impact. The long-awaited FPS masterpiece "Return to Wolfenstein", ANET announced that it will be postponed by one day - more symbolic!

Many game companies have removed New York City's landmark, the "victim" of the incident, the World Trade Center, from their own works, so as not to make many Chinese people look at things and think about people, which only adds to the sentimentality.

The most unfortunate was the software giant Microsoft, which not only wanted to remove all the scenes in the game that involved the World Trade Center, but was also accused by a British media outlet "Skynes" of publishing the "Microsoft Flight Simulator" game with too high realism for terrorists to use to train pilots......

Japanese game companies have also become victims of this terrorist attack, and Japanese game companies across the sea are listed as long as they are listed. Stock prices were all falling, and the worst "disasters" were Nintendo, Konami, Sega, Enix and Capcom, with the biggest drops of 1ooo yen.

……

Although Da's communications and modern television and radio media quickly spread the news of the terrorist attacks in the United States to every corner of the world. But compared to the reports and dissemination on the Internet. The advantages of the Internet are clear.

The interactivity of the Internet and the amount of information it provides are incomparable to that of television, which only reports quickly and provides continuous broadcast footage, while the Internet can provide you with a comprehensive analysis of the entire event: detailed background information about the TC (World Trade Center), the latest developments in the event, the analysis of experts and commentators, the reactions of other countries and organizations, etc., which is very informative.

There is one more very important factor. The information provided on the Internet can be preserved by ordinary people as materials, which is compared with traditional television and radio media. I don't know how many times more convenient it is.

For an ordinary person, the Internet also provides the right to choose, you can filter the information you are interested in from a large amount of information to browse, and chat room, which is not an unfamiliar term for netizens, is undoubtedly the busiest time at this moment!

At this unusually critical historical juncture, there are many details that have been slowly unearthed in later generations, which is quite intriguing.

After the birth of 911, as the Chinese portal with the largest number of staff and the most abundant languages abroad, the topic that exploded the world was quickly pushed to tens of millions of Chinese netizens five minutes after the attack, and Sina, which had previously claimed to have the largest Chinese subscriber group, followed closely behind. However, in the international portal business, the responsiveness is slightly less than that of Yahoo;

After the birth of 911, due to the overwhelm of the local communication and network systems, Song Chen instructed Goog1E and Chenxing Network to urgently deploy a tracing system to facilitate relatives and friends who lost contact near the World Trade Center to contact Goog1E on the concise page or QQ, which was praised by the majority of netizens later; [Note: After the birth of 911, the tracing system has briefly appeared abroad, and the current Baidu is definitely not the creator]

After the birth of 911, paypa1 followed the website of the American Red Cross and started public welfare fundraising;

Thanks to Song Chen's advance server resources and bandwidth construction regardless of the cost, Chenxing Group has sprung up, and its Internet products have barely withstood the peak period of access to wèn after the terrorist attack, and the number of centers set up by Chenxing Group in California makes it possible to occupy a large number of telecommunications resources of goog1e, although there is a high latency, but at least it will not be like Yahoo Lex, the network is congested, and it is almost impossible to access wèn.

This is equivalent to the 911 incident giving Chenxing Group a chance to show its face, although this opportunity was not specifically created or fought for by Song Chen, but the number jù center did a good job of helping Chenxing Network to support this peak visit to the wèn tide, and also left a deep impression on the industry - and not long ago, Song Chen's plan for Baidu and goog1e data jù center has long been spread in the industry, and has not been recognized, and it is considered a loser who works hard and hurts money!

Of course, to say that Song Chen did not take advantage of this "911 incident" at all, it would be too much to look up to him!

It is true that Song Chen has been in this world for nearly four years, and from the longitudinal perspective of history, Song Chen's butterfly wings flapping in China have actually not only swept a tornado in the United States, but a wave of science and technology that has swept the world: tens of thousands of people have been directly influenced and changed their fate by him? And the people who are indirectly affected by him are not only millions and tens of millions?

It stands to reason that with the butterfly effect caused by Song Chen now, it should be able to change the birth of the 911 incident, at least the life at the point in time, but I didn't expect that 911 was not only born as scheduled, but also did not change much in historical details! It is conceivable that the logic behind the 911 incident is really not something that Song Chen, as a "little entrepreneur", can influence or reverse!

Since it can't be reversed, Song Chen must be waiting for an opportunity to take advantage of it! Of course, the way to use it is not to remind your women or subordinates to be careful, not to go to New York or Washington on a business trip or anything, but to use the foreshadowing laid before, after the 911 terrorist attack, to remind Tsai Chongxin and Zhang Ruoxi that they can officially promote the "stock repurchase plan"!

At the beginning, under pressure from Wall Street, Song Chen promised a "share buyback" to regain shareholders' confidence, but this plan was tepid from the beginning, because Song Chen had a time limit before launching this plan, that is, "in the next two years, invest X billion dollars to buy back Y shares!" ”

This time just stuck in the time period of 911, which is also the best time point in the NASDAQ stock market crash that Song Chen can use! (To be continued......)
