Hello 1983

Chapter 984: There is magic in this global village (a

  Chapter 984 This global village has magic power (ask for a monthly ticket)

   "Teacher, don't worry, such a jumping clown is a grasshopper after autumn, and it won't be a few days."

   Liu Qingshan said confidently.

  Professor was stunned for a moment, obviously he didn't quite understand this popular saying in China.

  However, after imagining that scene, he smiled again: "Liu, can you tell me what your plan is?"

  Of course Liu Qingshan understood what the professor meant. He obviously wanted to help the staff and was about to tell the truth when there was another knock on the door.

  I saw the future Bagu God walking in with a smile. Seeing Liu Qingshan, the old bus pretended to cup his hands and said in Chinese with a weird accent:

   "Liu, Gong Xi Fa Cai!"

  Liu Qingshan was directly amused by him: "Your hand gesture is reversed. It should be with the right hand inside and the left hand outside. If someone like you has a bad temper, I will beat you up."

   "Aren't you a country of etiquette, why are you still beating people?" The old man was a little confused.

   "You can only salute like this when someone's family has a funeral." Liu Qingshan was completely speechless.

  Old Ba came to his senses and apologized again and again: "Your etiquette is too complicated."

  Liu Qingshan doesn't care either. It's not once or twice that foreigners make such jokes. Those who don't know don't blame it.

   Ask the old man to sit on the sofa, Liu Qingshan made him a cup of green tea, and the old man began to complain:

   "Liu, you are doing business in Russia, why don't you bring me along?"

   Of course, this matter cannot be hidden, and everyone in the industry knows it.

  Liu Qingshan really forgot about such a rich man at the beginning, but he explained: "I thought you only invest in the stock market."

   "No, you must count me in."

  The old bus has identified Liu Qingshan, he can see it clearly, this kid's investment, there is no profit, of course he wants to take the ride of Liu Qingshan.

  In investment banking, apart from ability, there is actually luck.

   This can’t be called superstition, it’s a very mysterious thing anyway.

  It’s like there is a kind of player in a casino who loses badly every time. This kind of person is called a "lamp" by insiders.

   Then you bet against him, and the possibility of profit is very high.

  Liu Qingshan's plan is too big, and of course the more funds he needs, the better, so he smiled and nodded in agreement, and asked the old bus and the second sister to discuss it.

  With Lao Ba's handwriting, at least hundreds of millions of dollars must be invested.

   After talking about the business, the old man looked at the newspaper on the table, and then smacked his lips:

   "Liu, this Professor Merton is very troublesome, but he still has a good vision. The Cisco stock he values ​​has great potential for development. It's a pity that I don't touch Internet technology stocks, otherwise I will definitely hold a heavy stock."

  Of course, Lao Ba also knew about the bet. Although the amount was only 10 million, it involved reputation issues.

  Especially because his old friend Professor Peter was involved, so he was also very worried about Liu Qingshan.

   "Our earth network is not bad." Of course Liu Qingshan will not underestimate himself.

  Old Ba nodded: "Global Network is indeed great, but the current growth rate still lags behind Cisco, Liu, do you want me to make a move?"

   Lao Ba is very clear about things like raising and suppressing stock prices. He has long seen that there are shadows of those on Wall Street.

  Liu Qingshan smiled and waved his hands: "We want to defeat our opponents with dignity."

  He happened to see a personal computer in Professor Peter's office, so he sat in front of the computer.

  The computer is of course connected to the Internet. Liu Qingshan turned on the earth network and began to download GV, which is the global village.

   Needless to say, the speed of the Internet at this time, in the era when it takes several minutes to open a picture, it is not enough to be impatient when surfing the Internet.

   It took almost half an hour to complete the download. After installation, the cartoon globe icon with little wings finally appeared on the desktop.

   "What is this?" The other two middle-aged people put their heads together.

   "This is the weapon we use to defeat Mr. Merton."

  Liu Qingshan logged into his GV account, found Hunter in the friend list, and sent a message: Mr. Superman, what are you up to?

  About ten seconds later, there was a soft ding-dong sound: "Boss, I am busy saving the earth, what instructions does the boss have?"

  Although the words were a little out of tune, both Old Ba and Professor Peter understood a little bit.

  Old Ba couldn't help asking: "Liu, are you chatting with your friends?"

  Liu Qingshan nodded, and then typed another line: "Then do me a favor and beat up a professor named Merton."

   Then he sent another smiley face.

  The other person came back with a horrified expression: "Boss, this is not good, you said that if you want to defeat your opponent with dignity, you can't make small moves."

   The two of them came and went, chatting very smoothly.

  The old man next to him murmured, "Oh, Liu, how did you do it? It's amazing?"

  Professor Peter also widened his eyes: "This should be similar to making a phone call, right?"

  Liu Qingshan nodded with a smile: "This is the software newly developed by our Earth Network. It belongs to the instant messaging category and can communicate online. Do you two have any suggestions?"

  Old Ba touched his chin and thought for a while: "Liu, maybe this is a revolution."

  This evaluation is too high, but in a sense, it is not too much.

   "Is it possible that if students submit papers in the future, they can send them to me directly?" Professor Peter quickly thought of the practical aspect.

  The corners of Liu Qingshan's mouth curled up slightly: "This is really a boon for those lazy guys who don't like to write."

  Professor Peter was also excited. He could feel that this software is very good and powerful.

  Maybe by virtue of it, the stock price of Earth Net will rise rapidly. As Liu Qingshan's tutor, he doesn't want his students to lose to others.

   "How do you charge for this thing?" the old bus asked again.

   "It's completely free, so dear Mr. Warren, I can apply for an account for you to develop a member for the global village."

  Liu Qingshan was joking, and started to apply for accounts, and he applied for two accounts in total.

   "Liu, your business thinking is really different. Although I think you will definitely lose money, as a user, I still like to use it for free."

  Old Ba chose an account, and happily took a very arrogant name: the **** of stocks.

  Professor Peter honestly used his real name, and then added Lao Ba and Liu Qingshan as friends.

  Professor seemed enthusiastic: "When the school starts, I will ask all students to use this software, Liu, can we communicate like in class?"

   "Yes, professor, you can build a work group." Liu Qingshan demonstrated and then formed a group.

  The group members are the three people present. Everyone starts to speak in the group by saying one sentence to another.

  The chair in front of the computer started to get busy, changing the owner constantly, and the three of them took turns sitting in the chair like a revolving lantern.

  The first **** was pulled up by the latter before it was hot.

  If there were outsiders, they probably couldn't help laughing.

  Liu Qingshan was the worst, those two could pull him, but he couldn't fight back, he had no choice but to look at his watch and exclaim:

   "Oh, it's almost one o'clock, gentlemen, it's time for us to go to lunch!"

   so fast?

  The two middle-aged men also looked at their watches, and then smiled at each other. They were so involved that they chatted for more than two hours without knowing it.

   "Liu, this global village of yours has magic power." Lao Ba thinks that he is a person with strong self-control, but he is still a bit addicted.

  Professor Peter was the happiest, because he seemed to see his most proud disciple defeating his greatest opponent.

   At noon, Liu Qingshan is naturally the host, who said he is the youngest.

  On the second day, Earth.com held a press conference and officially launched the free software Global Village.

  Carl is a college student who is currently on summer vacation. He usually likes to surf the Internet. On his birthday last year, his father gave him a home computer, which became Carl's favorite gift.

  His favorite website to browse is the Earth Network, but of course when he logged on to Earth Network today, he saw a promotional message.

  What kind of software is Global Village? With doubts, Carl browsed through the introduction, and then started downloading the Global Village program with great interest.

   After he finished the installation, he applied for his own account and registered a Spider-Man name first. Just started adding friends like crazy.

   There is actually someone online, a guy named Superman, who passed his friend request.

   "Hello." Carl sent his first message with excitement.

   While he was anxiously waiting for the other party's reply, there were two ding-dong sounds from the speaker, which startled Carl.

  He opened the pop-up window with trembling hands: "Haha, hello, Spider-Man, let's join hands to save the earth."

   "Oh, this is awesome!"

  Carl let out a cheer, and he found that he completely fell in love with the global village.

   But the surprise was far from over. After chatting a few words, Superman sent a message:

   "Congratulations, my friend, you are the first user to officially use Global Village, so you have won a gold medal. With a medal, you can have some privileges. The customer service will get in touch with you later."

  Carl cheered again, and then shook his fist vigorously.

  After the excitement, Carl started calling, classmates, and friends, and then told them all to apply for an account in the global village.

   This scene is happening in many cities.

  At the headquarters of the Earth Network, Mr. Superman Hunter is monitoring the data in the background.

  He whistled: "There are more than a thousand users."

   After a while, another whistle came: "There are more than 10,000 users."

  In the afternoon, Hunter's whistle sounded again: "There are more than 100,000 users, one target, one million!"

   This goal is a bit big, and it was not successfully achieved until three days later.

  Global Network was once again pushed to the forefront by the media, and the two letters GV frequently appeared on the important pages of major newspapers.

  It seems that overnight, all netizens in North America know about the instant messaging software Global Village.

   "This is an epoch-making software." This is the evaluation given by the Los Angeles Times.

   "The global village has opened another door for the Internet." This is a newspaper quoting the original words of Mr. Bill from Microsoft.

   "I also signed up for a GV account, and set up a work group with executives. In the group, I can exchange some work problems. Isn't it great?"

  This is the speech made by the old Joe from Apple, followed by a paragraph:

   "However, GV also has some unsatisfactory aspects. To set up a group, you need membership qualifications, and to become a member, you need to recharge. This is clearly a misappropriation of money."

   From Old Joe's complaints, it can be seen that this guy is still a little picky.

  However, after some complaints, Lao Qiao still pulled the words back:

"There is nothing wrong with this point. After all, the website needs to be operated, maintained, and servers need to be added continuously. All of these need money. If it were me, all users of the GV software should pay. The Earth Network is already very conscientious. "

  After seeing this, users feel instantly balanced in their hearts.

  And some professionals also put forward many suggestions for the software of Global Village.

   Some are purely imaginary, while some are the direction of future software development.

   With the popularity of GV, the company's stock also doubled in three days like a rocket, which shocked many investors.

   And looking at this posture, there is no intention of stopping.

   Chasing ups and downs is a common problem among investors. This time, even the vampires on Wall Street can't stop them.

   Even many of the original short-sellers of Earth Net stocks have turned their backs and started speculating in Earth Net stocks. After all, investors are always chasing profits.

  In an office at Stanford University, there were angry curses, accompanied by loud noises from falling things.

   This is Professor Merton's office, and he looks like a madman at the moment.

  Just a few days ago, he was still triumphant and sure of winning.

  Professor Merton seems to see money and fame, with little wings, flying towards him.

   It turned out that it really flew here, also with wings, but it brought him a catastrophe.

   Not to mention the 10 million gambling capital, more than half of it came from financing. After losing this bet, he is destined to lose his reputation and become a stepping stone for Liu Qingshan's master and apprentice to move forward.

  Thinking of this, Professor Merton couldn't restrain the anger in his heart, and his whole body seemed to be burned by this flame.

   After venting a bit, Professor Merton slumped on the chair weakly, his eyes were slack, as if he was a walking dead.

   There was a crisp ding-dong, and Professor Merton finally came back to his senses. He looked at the computer next to him, and there was a small icon blinking.

  He downloaded it specially to verify the GV software.

   Unable to open, it was a message from my friend Soros: old friend, according to the agreement we signed, you should sell part of Cisco's stock and then repay my financing.

   "To **** with everything!"

  Merton picked up the keyboard and slammed it **** the old-fashioned large head-up display. A puff of blue smoke rose from the display, and then there was a crackling sound.

  Professor Merton fell and fell to the ground.
