Chapter 122: Technical Scalpers
Early on Monday morning, Comrade Xu Jianren habitually asked for leave for unknown reasons and arrogant attitude, so that students of keyboard application could only take electives.
Chen Bo seemed to be unconcerned, and even a little happy, compared to the brain-burning "Basic Routines", the elective of Mixed Fish undoubtedly made him feel relaxed.
Wang Xu carried a keyboard symbolizing his noble status and sat upright to listen to the teacher's teaching, which attracted the disgust of the people behind him, because his keyboard was too long and blocked the view of others.
Under the reminder of the kind-hearted girl, Wang Xu reluctantly put the keyboard on the table, and now he has the right to take the initiative, the student union is not in a hurry, there are a few days before the start of the brand festival, and it is not too late to make plans.
"Hey, I saw the guy who laughed at us earlier."
Chen Bo elbowed Wang Xu and pointed to the seat on the left front side, Yao Ze sat in the boys' pile talking and laughing, and several people played with their mobile phones, in short, none of them listened carefully.
"Keep it low-key and don't make a fuss." Wang Xu pressed his hand and ignored it for the time being.
This elective course is "The Past and Present Life of Scalpers", which mainly introduces various speculative activities from ancient times to the present, the teacher's face is stiff, serious and elegant, and a bit of pedantic scholarly atmosphere.
"I have been poisoned by scalpers countless times before, and I have planted everything, and the Academic Affairs Office just asked me if I was interested in taking electives, so I submitted the course lesson plan, but I didn't expect it to be passed, I hope that the students will not follow in my footsteps after a general understanding."
"Need to take notes?"
Chen Bo couldn't make up his mind, there was no special book for this elective at all, and the teacher repeatedly switched back and forth in several pieces of news information, relying on a few pictures and texts to compile them, and did not pay attention to the fixed format, which was a casual play.
"The difficulty rating of this elective course is only one star, which means that you can understand it, and you don't need to delve into it." Wang Xu also found some relevant information on the Internet to help him study.
"Today we are going to talk about the thing of ticket grabbing software, and students now see less, because 12306 basically realizes most of the functions, but people in our era are certainly no strangers to this software."
"First of all, the APP version of 12306 was launched in a few years."
"2013." Wang Xu answered quickly, almost seamlessly with the teacher's questions.
Someone answered the call, and the teacher praised it as a matter of course: "That's right, this student answered correctly." ”
Chen Bo has long lost his original surprise, after all, people who have undergone genetic modification surgery may have a super chip in their brains, which stores the culture of all mankind.
"This is the exam question for our junior keyboard warrior, do you have any impressions?"
"Really? I don't remember, I guess I didn't do it. Chen Bo said perfunctorily.
In this year, in order to adapt to the development wave of mobile intelligent terminals, many service-oriented enterprises plan to promote their own APP, and the market is full of flowers, showing a state of offensive and defensive changes with traditional PCs.
In the past few years, people have to wait in line at the station to buy train tickets, and if they catch up with the peak passenger flow of the Spring Festival, they often squeeze in but are told that there is no ticket to buy.
The online ticket purchase channel on the PC side is also unpopular because of the touching interface design and cumbersome operation, and the people at the bottom still prefer offline ticket purchases until the emergence of the APP.
However, this does not change the situation that it is difficult to find a ticket for the Spring Festival, in essence, this is an intermittent contradiction between supply and demand, and it is almost an impossible task to move hundreds of millions of people from one side to the other in half a month, and then reverse it after the New Year.
Some people will say that it is not enough to add a few more lines, but the problem is that the carrying capacity of the railway itself has reached the upper limit during the Spring Festival transportation period, and the cost of building more railways outweighs the loss, because the usual passenger demand is far from reaching the break-even point.
Where there is demand, there will be business opportunities, and the ticket-grabbing software under the banner of "everyone can go home" was born, relying on the advantages of free and convenient, and successfully attracted a large number of loyal fans.
Compared with the traditional scalpers who first hoard a large number of tickets and then increase the price to make a difference, this group of Internet scalpers has mastered a higher level of technology.
The core of the ticketing business focuses on two places, one is the second point of ticket release, in which people can't fight the machine, even if it is a 20-year unicorn arm, it can't withstand millisecond-level micro-operation.
When normal users are still looking for your sister at the verification code and looking at Lianlian, the ticket-grabbing software has completed a one-stop service.
The second is to monitor the remaining tickets, because 12306APP does not have a regular refresh function, when you want to pick up the leak, you can only keep sliding down and letting go, praying in your heart that a miracle will happen, but the software can be operated automatically, one-click addition.
Another characteristic of this kind of technical scalpers is that they are difficult to fall with their backs against a big tree, and those scalpers who are holding a stack of tickets at the gate of the train station and wandering around asking questions may be able to twist away a few in uniform.
The companies operated by technology scalpers have the support of capital predators, and at most they are interviewed in a friendly manner and reminded a few words, and the worst outcome is to put on a legal cloak and erect the banner of the official family.
In fact, it is true, 12306 after absorbing the advantages of the ticket-grabbing software, it was copied and transplanted into its own APP, you have it all, over time, the ticket-grabbing software lost the soil for growth, and gradually withdrew from the historical stage.
The teacher's face was expressionless throughout the whole process, as if he was talking with a wooden mouth, if it weren't for the tone of the beginning and turn, Chen Bo would have thought that the other party was reading from the book.
"When I was younger, I liked to be aware of current affairs, but there were three things that I would never touch – infrastructure, takeaway, and delivery, which I summed up after my profound experience abroad."
"The future is beautiful, believe in your motherland, if you are interested in learning more interesting things about scalpers, you can pay attention to a book written by my friend, called "The Days of Performing Arts at the Railway Station".
"How did a man who hates scalpers get acquainted with a scalper dealer?" Chen Bobai was puzzled.
"If you don't fight, you don't know each other, you may be your own person in the pit." Wang Xu added the book to the bookshelf and didn't have time to read it.
The people in the classroom gradually dispersed, and Chen Bo sat far away, not wanting to crowd the door with a bunch of people.
"Don't worry, someone is looking for us." Wang Xu made a look, and Chen Bo noticed Yao Ze standing with his back to the wall, his gaze wandering around.
There was more than one person with abnormal behavior, Chen Bo counted it, there were six or seven guys, all boys.
"You're not afraid you're here to find fault?" Chen Bo's keyboard was sent for repair, and only a mouse was left to prove his identity.
"You can fight a few, I can fight a few." Wang Xu calmly took out three fingers.
Chen Bo pursed his lips and said crampedly: "Aren't we civilized people?" How can you fight? ”
"Haha, don't worry, it'll be fine."
Seeing Yao Ze walking towards this side, Wang Xu chose to strike first.
"Master Yao, I haven't seen you for a long time, what's the matter?"
