Chapter 410 TikTok is facing difficulties, and the bank settlement system’s battle to establish its authority
Although Chen Xing doesn’t like to be too public, and the license plate No. 01 is not his cup of tea, Wang Fang and others have spoken out. For this reason, he was too embarrassed to refuse.
"Since it is your wish, I will accept it without wasting your time. We will get together next time."
"We will get together next time."
"See you next time."
After a few polite words, Wang Fang also left quickly with two colleagues.
Watching the three people leave, Chen Xing returned to the Tianzihao box.
As soon as he entered the door, he looked at Dong Shaopeng on one side, handed out the license plate envelope and said: "Take this back to the company, wait for Pilot 001 to be launched, find the high-volume version and put the plate on it."
“Okay, Mr. Chen.”
Dong Shaopeng took the license plate with both hands.
He also had a sharp eye and knew that there was something in Chen Xing's words, so he quickly said goodbye: "Mr. Chen, Mr. Zhang, Academician Qin, I will go back to the company first. If you have any instructions, you can call me at any time."
"Well, let's walk slowly."
"I won't send you off."
Zhang Ming and Zhang Ming nodded slightly.
Dong Shaopeng didn't hesitate for a moment. After a few brief remarks, he walked straight out of the box and closed the door.
"Bang Dang——"
Seeing the box door closed, Chen Xing also moved his steps, came to the seat between Zhang Ming and Qin Long, and sat down again.
Zhang Ming saw that there were no "outsiders" in the box. He turned sideways and looked at Chen Xing and said, "Is it time we opened the skylight and had a chat?"
"You said."
< br>Chen Xing nodded slightly.
In addition to witnessing the first foreign exchange settlement of the GIANT PANDA bank settlement system and discussing the northern automobile sales network with the leadership team of Imperial City, he also discussed TikTok's future strategy with Zhang Ming during his visit to Imperial City.
Qin Long picked up the wine glass and took a sip silently. He wanted to hear how these two people muddied the water.
“The problems that TikTok is encountering now are actually exactly the same as what Brother Xiao Ma encountered before, that is, there are users, but there is no way to monetize them in time. My company’s expenditure pressure is very high now.” Zhang Ming did not hide it and said directly out of the difficulties encountered.
After Chen Xing got on board, Douyin and the international version of TikTok did gain a large number of users.
In China, we can also rely on personal connections to attract relevant advertisers, or in other words, let game manufacturers invest in advertising to make money.
But after leaving the country, Zhang Ming had almost no connections. Those international big names and advertising resources were still on the sidelines, and he had no intention of investing.
The most serious problem is in Europe and the United States. International brands and fashion resources are basically controlled by Jewish consortiums. If you want to seize food from the tiger's mouth, it can be summarized in four words as difficult as reaching the sky.
“There is a gap in your funds?”
Chen Xing asked.
Compared with Zhang Ming’s previous strategy of moving steadily domestically first, then overseas, now he has indeed taken too big a step.
The amount of money burned in just one day is already an astronomical amount.
However, this also has something to do with Chen Xingchuan. After all, the software is directly built into the mainboard chip of the mobile phone of Daolongxing Group, which is equivalent to accelerating the process of TikTok.
“There are still 1.2 billion to burn, but I don’t think it can last long. The users of Douyin and TikTok are growing too fast, and the operating costs of the service area are increasing exponentially every day.”
Zhang Ming understands why Xiao Ma was thinking of selling penguins in the first place.
Because at that time, when Penguin QQ was just starting to take off, Xiao Ma was also faced with the rapid increase in users and high server operating costs.
With just users, there is no way to make a profit, so who wouldn’t have a headache?
This is like bringing goods in a live broadcast room. People come in but no one places orders. It is useless to support 100,000+ viewers.
If it weren’t for the fact that online game manufacturers were all targeting the emerging market of Dragon Kingdom and inadvertently pulled Penguin QQ into the market, perhaps Xiao Ma’s business empire would have become a reflection in the water.
"Your question..." Chen Xing fell into deep thought. With a huge number of users, it would be impossible without a quick way to monetize.
Suddenly, he thought of something and suggested: "How about changing the profit model. The advertising model alone is too simple to make profit. Maybe we can add a live broadcast function."
"Live broadcast?"
Zhang Ming frowned.
When he founded Douyin, he did not even think about the direction of a live broadcast platform, because there are a large number of live broadcast platforms at home and abroad, and he felt that he could not get a piece of the pie.
"Yes, live broadcast." Chen Xing nodded and gave a future plan: "You can continue to spend money on subsidies now. If it is not enough, I can invest in it first and wait until the number of users reaches a certain level. Once the scale is reached, you can first launch the live broadcast function to stabilize your own income, and then slowly talk about advertisers."
"Would live broadcast be inappropriate? I am targeting short videos..."
Zhang Ming was a little hesitant.
The reason why Douyin and TikTok are so popular now is largely because of short videos and social attributes. He always felt something was wrong when they suddenly started live broadcasting.
“Live streaming is the fastest way to monetize, and the platform directly takes a 50% commission. I’m not asking you to give up the short video element, but to make profits first, and then think about other things.”
Chen Xing paused for half a second and continued: "Otherwise, with so many users, if you continue to burn money to subsidize it, sooner or later you will lose money. Now doing live broadcasts can also allow brands to see the data of the software, and in one fell swoop That's a lot."
"Then...let me try it."
Zhang Ming responded weakly.
Ever since he boarded Chen Xing's "thief ship", there was no turning back for him.
The content of his strategic layout plan, such as Douyin's profit model and TikTok's release time, have been disrupted. Now he can only continue to mess up according to Chen Xing's ideas, and maybe he can get back on track. .
If he still can't make a profit, he will have to consider stopping burning money, or even shutting down TikTok's servers and focusing on running the national server.
"Yes." Chen Xing nodded slightly, and then continued: "As a domestic advertising manufacturer, I will try my best to help you get some resources. Do as I say, and you will definitely be right."
As a reborn person, he has seen through the profit method of Douyin short videos earlier than Zhang Ming, or even anyone else.
Advertising is profitable?
This is too simplistic.
Live broadcast platform, live broadcast delivery, e-commerce platform, video rewards, and paid short dramas, he can make Zhang Ming a lot of money by just doing any tricks, but he can’t tell them all now. out, so as not to arouse doubts in others' minds.
When Zhang Ming heard that Chen Xing wanted to help pull resources, his eyes lit up and he picked up the wine glass on the table and said: "Mr. Chen is really my guiding beacon. My feelings for you and my thoughts... What I said is all in this glass of wine, I did it.”
The words fell.
He raised his head and drank it all in one gulp.
"It's all trivial. You can't make enough money. Compared to making money at home, I want to earn more foreign exchange back." Chen Xing said with a smile.
To disrupt the European and American markets, we cannot rely solely on Longxing Group’s mobile phones.
The reason smartphones are fun is because they have a complete application ecosystem, so TikTok must not give in.
Even if he personally provides subsidies, Chen Xing will allocate funds to do it.
Qin Long, who was silently listening to the conversation between the two, also put down his wine glass. He already roughly knew Chen Xing's future strategic plan. Then, he interrupted the two of them and said:
"If you two It’s almost time to talk about the security issues of our GIANTPANDA bank settlement system.”
“Security issues?”
Chen Xing looked at Qin Long.
"Well, it's a security issue." Qin Long nodded, his eyes flashed with fear and said: "This foreign exchange settlement with Mao Xiong, both parties have done enough to keep it confidential. It is impossible for the West to know, and then the settlement was successfully completed. . ”
“Since our GIANTPANDA bank settlement system is open to the whole world, it is impossible to say that both parties have done enough confidentiality work before each settlement. Moreover, you cannot keep confidentiality at all in trade settlements with some countries. The West will 100% know the settlement time.”
Qin Long did not name the countries, but Chen Xing and Zhang Ming both guessed the list.
As he said, if the GIANTPANDA bank settlement system wants to replace the SWIFT bank settlement system, it must withstand the test of security.
It is estimated that a large number of countries around the world are waiting and waiting for the security test of the GIANTPANDA bank settlement system.
If it can be "hacked" and the transaction amount is mistaken, I don't know who will bear the losses.
Of course.
By mistake the transaction amount is small.
If transactions can be forced and the money in the national account disappears, the loss is really not something that ordinary countries can bear.
"Those bugs may indeed be watching, but real gold is not afraid of fire. I still have confidence in the network engineers on my side." While expressing his position, Chen Xing continued: "Since GIANTPANDA The bank settlement system needs a battle to establish its authority, so let’s fight.”
"With whom?"
Qin Long asked seriously.
GIANTPANDA bank settlement system now really needs a battle to establish its authority, so that countries around the world can see its security.
Who do you settle with?
Who is the best candidate?
These are all things to think about.
“Ba tie.”
Chen Xing answered without hesitation.
“Ba tie?”
“Ba tie?”
Not only Qin Long, but also Zhang Ming were stunned.
There are countless pairs of eyes outside now. Are you going to choose Pakistan Railway, which is far behind in Internet security technology and even computers are not yet popular?
Is Chen Xing going to fight against the Jewish consortium’s hacker team on his own?
“There is no better choice than it.” Chen Xing spoke calmly and explained: “Just as Dean Qin said, what we are shaking now is the hegemony of the U.S. dollar established by the Jewish consortium. It’s their foundation.”
“If nothing else, those people are trying their best to get the specific information about our next trade settlement.”
“Batie and we are brothers. The two countries have been friends for almost seventy years. Although Pakistan Railways’ domestic Internet security technology is almost zero, this also provides us with the best environment to establish our authority. If our two countries can successfully settle foreign exchange, this means that small countries do not need to worry. The security of foreign exchange settlement is all supported by us.”
“That’s okay.”
Zhang Ming was the first to agree.
Qin Long nodded slightly, but he had a doubt: "Why not choose Japan and South Korea? I thought you would choose them."
"You can choose, but it is not necessary. Because it’s not the best choice.”
Chen Xing replied calmly.
The Japanese and Korean markets are indeed about to settle foreign exchange, but in Chen Xing's view, these two companies have the possibility of defecting and there are uncertain risks, so Chen Xing excludes them.
"What about Ba Tie?"
Qin Long asked again.
Chen Xing nodded, confirmed again and responded: "Well, it's Ba Tie."
"Okay." Qin Long nodded, picked up the wine glass on the table, But he didn't drink, but put it down again. He seemed to have remembered something and continued to ask: "Do you want some help in defense? I still have some connections here."
"Qihoo Technology The group of people can't attack, so don't worry, Dean Qin, I won't fight an uncertain battle."
Chen Xing said with a faint smile.
Then he stood up, picked up an unused wine glass, then picked up the wine dispenser, filled himself, Zhang Ming and Qin Long with wine and continued: "Let's have a drink three times. , as for TikTok and the GIANTPANDA bank settlement system, we just wait for the good news. ""Dang——"
The walls of the glasses collided, and the drink was drained.
……
One night, fleeting.
The next day.
Morning time.
As the time approaches nine o'clock, stock market experts such as Li Daxiao and Yang Delong have issued articles, bullish on today's market.
Xiao Gang also did not remain silent, but instead of issuing a document from the China Securities Regulatory Commission, he contacted major securities firms to issue a document. The general meaning is that with the GIANTPANDA bank settlement system successfully settling foreign exchange for Longxing Group, Longguo Economy It will break away from the influence of the US dollar hegemonic system, move out of the independent market, and turn upward.
Stock investors who woke up early in the morning after being woken up by the alarm clock were confused. They could still understand that one brokerage published a short essay, and more than a dozen of them published essays at the same time. Is it possible that a bull market is coming?
On the Weibo information platform, marketing accounts are extremely fast, writing and publishing articles in less than ten minutes.
《Shocked! Eighteen securities firms issued a collective bullish statement on the stock market before the market opened. Has the turning point for Longguo's stock market arrived? 》
"1800 is the bottom?" Brokerages collectively issued bullish statements, is the A-share bull market coming? Let the experts analyze it for you! 》
《Big Xiao smiles, life and death are unpredictable, Delong is bullish, crying for father and mother, Zhang Zhang warns all investors, be careful of the trap of attracting bulls! 》
《The Longguo currency index has soared, and A-shares have hope this year. Brothers, the bulls are back! 》
Countless financial marketing accounts are bombarding them, and the titles are all so breathtaking that people can’t help but want to click in to check it out.
On the hot search list, the entry for "Niu Hui Sui Hui Shui" is also at the top of the list, causing many "masters" who are still delivering food to click in and check it out.
For a while.
Making waves again.
[Brother Liang of the Shanghai Index]: "It's a bull comeback again. Don't lie to us. It's almost 4,000 points. I've been punished all the way to 1,800 points. I really can't bear it anymore. If it weren't for my ugly face, It looks so good, I almost want to sell my butt to get some blood.”
[超神 spicy strip]: “I thought 2700 was the bottom, so I bought all my positions, but I didn’t expect to copy it halfway up the mountain, and I was flat. I had no money. I don’t plan to move anymore.”
[Brother Wang]: “They say you can’t buy stocks with full positions. You should keep 3,000 yuan for yourself. If you lose, you can still buy an electric car. Run takeaways to replenish your blood and support yourself.”
[Newborn Yaoyang]: "Unless our big A-share god Chen Xing comes out to be bullish, I won't dare to buy. I lost 200,000 during this period, and my girlfriend broke up with me."
With a 10% interest rate hike and the continued outflow of foreign capital, Big A and Hong Kong stock investors experienced an unprecedented dark moment in half a year.
Loss of 30% is relatively small, but there are many investors who have lost 50%.
There are also many new investors who bought the bottom, but ended up halfway up the mountain, and finally fell flat. They are all waiting for opportunities.
According to the laws of the stock market, after a long bear market, a bull market will quietly come. As long as your tickets are not delisted, it is possible to get your money back or even make a profit.
But...
Hope is a bit slim.
With the spread of pessimism, many old investors are still going to work when they should go to take out food.
As the time comes to 9:15, the time period for collective bidding.
CITIC Securities, up 10%.
Haitong Securities rose 10%.
Industrial Securities rose 10%.
Changjiang Securities rose 10%.
Looking around, the securities sector is collectively closed, and even securities stocks found to have insider trading are rising.
In a flash.
Stock investors are confused again.
“What the hell? The bull market is really coming?”
“A collective violent outburst?”
“The bull market is coming????”
"Could it be a temptation?"
After falling for half a year, investors were extremely cautious, but when they discovered that the automobile sector had also been pulled in by 10%, investors finally woke up.
The food delivery guys just stopped on the spot and took out their mobile phones to conduct transactions.
While trading, they also did not forget to attack customers' takeaways to keep their physical strength in top condition.
If you work in a company, you need to go to the toilet urgently to poop, and you can make money by trading stocks.
Stock investors from all walks of life, who were deeply buried in A-shares, are chasing higher prices. The 10% sudden pull has made them realize that the national team has taken action!
Not only A-shares, but also Hong Kong stocks have begun an unprecedented counterattack. Both companies have begun an offensive to stabilize the stock market and stage a fight.
The Wall Street financial giants who were still shorting Hong Kong stocks all sensed something unusual. In order to make a profit, they also joined the buying and buying army.
Because the borrowed stocks need to be repaid, if you don’t buy them now, they won’t be at this price when they rise.
Only half an hour after the market opened, the stock markets of the two places ushered in a riot of color and a thunderous rise. Many timid investors were caught in shallow traps and got scared, so they hurriedly left the market with small profits.
But with the national team out of the game, how could this surge end so easily?
In one day, A shares surged 200 points, reaching 2,000 points.
In the early trading time of the next day, Xiao Gang found someone to send the news that Longxing Group Pilot 001 was about to be listed, and continued to rally with the good news.
The closing price the next day was 2197 points.
The third day closed at 2311 points.
The closing price on the fourth day was 2354 points.
When he realized that he could not pull the stock and there was a large amount of profit taking in the market, Xiao Gang did not pull hard. Instead, he asked the national team to control the stock market to move sideways and let technical investors enter the market.
After the market closed over the weekend, A-shares and Hong Kong stocks fluctuated sideways for several days, seemingly determining their direction.
Xiao Gang, who is sitting in the office of the village chief of the China Securities Regulatory Commission, is very satisfied with this increase. The trading volume, which was originally sluggish to 300 billion, has returned to 600 billion, which shows that investors feel that they can make money in the stock market again. Money, dare to invest.
“One more good thing, maybe it can hit 2400 points.”
Xiao Gang murmured to himself, he was now counting on Chen Xing to make some more noise, so that he would have a reason to continue The next step is to save the market.
Just as he wished, the GIANTPANDA bank settlement system office building of Longke Academy was less than 10 minutes away from the foreign exchange settlement with Pakistan Railways.
Because it was a "battle to establish prestige" for the whole world to see, the foreign exchange settlement between Longxing Group and Pakistan Railway was not kept confidential this time, and it was also publicized to the world with great fanfare.
Faced with an unsolvable "conspiracy", the Jewish consortium had to take action.
Because if they do not prevent this settlement, it means that the GIANTPANDA bank settlement system has the same security as the SWIFT bank settlement system, and the monopoly of the SWIFT bank settlement system will be broken.
Once the monopoly of the SWIFT bank settlement system no longer exists, the US dollar will no longer be designated for oil trade, and the US dollar's international hegemony will also be affected.
“Coming!”
Suddenly, an engineer reminded.
"Someone is entering a large amount of invalid information in an attempt to interfere with the operation of the settlement system."
"Can I check the IP?"
Qin Long asked quickly.
"Let's try."
The operations team responsible for the GIANTPANDA bank settlement system began to track, but when the IP address appeared, they all shook their heads and reported the situation: "Mao Xiong, Japan, South Korea, and even Our own locals are involved, and this group of people have made super high-tech disguises.”
“Do you want to terminate the settlement?”
On the side of the technology department, an old Mediterranean man asked, He is none other than the Minister of Military and Civilian Communications Department of Pakistan Railways, Bullard.
When he heard that Chen Xing was going to settle exchanges with Ba Tie, he came to the Imperial Capital two days in advance to see the professionalism of the GIANTPANDA bank settlement system team.
“No, settle the exchange on time.”
Chen Xing responded calmly.
……
And on the other side.
The United States on the other side of the ocean.
A technology building in Silicon Valley.
Hundreds of top programmers are sitting in the office lobby, tapping the keyboard frantically, sending penetration, attack, and cracking instructions.
"The DDoS attack failed, no lag was found, and it could not burden the other party's server."
"SQL injection failed."
"The XSS script attack failed."
“Decompilation failed and the source code and internal structure of the software cannot be analyzed.”
This group of top network engineers in Silicon Valley are sweating. Such high protection is completely impossible to crack. They couldn't even penetrate.
The senior executives of the Jewish consortium and Angsa consortium watching on the side frowned secretly. Is this level of protection really the result of Longguo network engineers?
“No time.”
Davich glanced at the time. There was less than two minutes left before the settlement of foreign exchange between Pakistan Railway and Longguo. If they could not crack it, they would terminate this trade. settlement, then the monopoly of the SWIFT bank settlement system will be broken.
Just as the elites of the Judea and Angsa consortium were secretly frowning, suddenly, a network engineer shouted:
“It’s penetrated!”
“The data is being read!”
In a flash.
Everyone gathered around.
The code box on the computer screen is flashing data frantically, as if it is reading the core data of the GIANTPANDA bank settlement system.
Davich smiled, and others in the Jewish Consortium and Angsa Consortium breathed a sigh of relief. Sure enough, there was no network wall in this world that their Silicon Valley network engineers could not conquer.
Just when they were about to say something, the code reading on the screen suddenly stopped. In the blink of an eye, the monitor in front of them showed that it was restarting. The computers of hundreds of other Silicon Valley network engineers were also forced to restart. .
“What happened?”
“Is it reverse osmosis?”
"Forced restart?"
All the network engineers were exclaiming, looking up at each other, a little at a loss.
When the computer restarted, the desktop wallpaper was replaced with the crow death pattern, the files and command bar were all locked and could not be clicked, and the cooling fan of the computer host was overloaded. Perhaps, more than Instead of the fan, the entire host is running overload!
