Goldfinger is a bit strange
Chapter 981: OK, another bottomless pit (1/2)
In the meeting room of Earth Network, Liu Qingshan was listening to the report from Adrian and the main creative staff.
In the original time and space, the first Internet website was founded this year; but now, Earth Network has developed prosperously.
With the two killer weapons of free mailbox and free antivirus software, Earth Network has become the world's largest portal website, without a doubt.
This title is not wrong at all, because so far, there are only three or five portal websites added up.
Those were established only this year and are relatively small in scale.
As of the first half of this year, the number of registered users of Earth Network has exceeded five million.
Not only that, while other Internet companies are mostly in a loss-making state, Earth Network has gradually explored its own profit model.
Through web advertising and email push advertising, Earth Network made a profit of more than 20 million US dollars last year.
Of course, this amount of money is not enough for them to burn themselves, not even enough to buy servers. In fact, Earth Network is still in a state of needing blood transfusion.
There is no way, Internet companies are like this in the start-up stage.
And those investment banks with a keen sense of smell also realized the huge development prospects of Earth Network, and waved their money to invest in Earth Network.
Unfortunately, as the company's largest shareholder, Liu Qingshan is not short of money now and does not need financing.
Seeing such a big piece of fat meat, but not being able to eat it, the vampires on Wall Street are of course not satisfied, so some people began to deliberately manipulate the stock price of Earth Network.
Originally, the stock of Earth Network has been rising all the way, with a good momentum.
Especially after Liu Qingshan, the largest shareholder, successively owned two large oil fields, the stock price soared a lot.
But the guys on Wall Street are not jealous. If they work together, they can bring down the economy of a country, let alone your company.
So in recent months, the stock of Earth Network has been falling all the way, which has made Adrian and others anxious.
Obviously, these guys want to see Liu Qingshan's joke. After all, during the Nobel Prize last year, the bet between Liu Qingshan and Professor Merton was widely spread.
Although the stakes were not that high this time, in the eyes of outsiders, it was Liu Qingshan who stood up for his mentor, Professor Peter.
No matter which side failed, it would mean ruin.
After listening to Adrian's report, Liu Qingshan fell into deep thought. It seemed that he had underestimated the greed of human nature. Behind this, there must be the shadow of Professor Merton, after all, he had been in Wall Street for so many years.
But he did not have no chance to turn things around, after all, there were still several months until the end of the year.
"Hunter, have you developed the instant messaging software you are researching?" Liu Qingshan turned to Hunter, the head of the R\u0026D team.
Hunter was still in a nonchalant manner. He snapped his fingers and said, "Boss, no problem. We are currently completing internal testing."
After that, he added, "Boss, why don't you help me take a look? Although you are not good at technology, we all admire you in creativity."
Ahem, Adrian coughed twice and winked at Hunter. Hunter seemed to react and grinned.
Liu Qingshan was too lazy to bother with these guys and went straight to Hunter's computer.
After scanning the icons on the computer desktop, Liu Qingshan quickly found an icon.
This is a cartoon image of the earth, with a light blue main color, a nose and eyes, and a small white wing on each side.
The wings are very small, which looks a bit funny compared to the spherical body.
At the bottom are two capital letters: GV.
The name of this software is globalvillage, which translates to global village, which is more in line with the characteristics of instant messaging software.
Liu Qingshan skillfully clicked on the icon with the mouse, and Hunter next to him whistled again: "You are worthy of being the boss, you found it accurately!"
In fact, there are only a few icons on the desktop. Hunter is obviously not sincere.
Then, Liu Qingshan chose the registration item in the small window that popped up and started to register his own account.
"Boss, wait a minute, I'll go and do something in the background for you. The first number, 000001, has always been reserved for you."
Hunter also learned to flatter this time.
"Six digits, I guess it will definitely not be enough in the future. Forget it, let's add more digits later." Liu Qingshan muttered.
Hunter and others blinked their eyes: Boss, do you know how many good codes can be evolved from these six digits? Do you want everyone in the world to register a good code?
Liu Qingshan glanced at their expressions, then curled his lips: Don't you know that there are small accounts in this world?
After Hunter finished processing Liu Qingshan, Liu Qingshan boarded his own Tianzi No. 1. As the boss and the creator of this software, he certainly has the qualifications to enjoy this honor.
In Liu Qingshan's opinion, the interface is very simple. Try the function, you can only send text and official emoticons.
There are no other functions such as voice and pictures.
But the function of transferring files is still available.
"Boss, I want to add you as my friend, please accept it."
Hunter logged into his account number 002 on the computer next to him.
Liu Qingshan also saw the small globe start to flash, and clicked on the pop-up window: Superman requested to add you as his friend.
Look at the other person's avatar, he really looks like a Superman wearing a cape.
Liu Qingshan almost sprayed the tea on the keyboard with a sip of tea: How dare you call yourself Superman?
But the Internet is so magical, and this is what makes it attractive.
"Boss!" Accompanied by the beeping sound of Didi, Hunter sent a message with a somewhat obscene smile.
Liu Qingshan also replied: "Please wear your underwear outside, and then call yourself Superman."
After chatting for a few words, Liu Qingshan felt that it was okay. Functions and other things would be improved slowly in the future.
While Liu Qingshan and Hunter were chatting, several more accounts applied for friends. Liu Qingshan knew that they were all employees of the company, so he clicked to agree.
Looking at these online names, Liu Qingshan couldn't help but want to laugh: "I remember that there seems to be no ladies in our R\u0026D team. Who is this beautiful girl?"
Unexpectedly, someone changed their gender during an internal test?
But this is also one of the fun parts of online chatting, it has a sense of freshness and excitement.
Hunter and others looked at each other: "Boss, we don't have that kind of hobby."
At this time, the beautiful girl sent a message to Liu Qingshan: Qingshan, old classmate, have you come to the United States?
An idea flashed in Liu Qingshan's mind: "Are you Yu Sanshui?"
Yu Sanshui is of course Yu Miao, Liu Qingshan's classmate at Peking University, who is quite talented in computers.
After the other party responded with an OK gesture, Hunter and others were dumbfounded: This is impossible. This is an internal test. How did outsiders enter the server?
Then there is only one possibility. The other party invaded illegally, but the anti-virus system did not alarm?
Liu Qingshan chatted with Yu Miao across from him for a few words, and then invited Yu Miao to come to Los Angeles to help Hunter and the others improve the security settings. Obviously, there are still great hidden dangers in the current GV.
"I'm in Luo City now, I'll rush there right away." Yu Miao replied again.
After Liu Qingshan finished chatting, they all looked at Hunter with strange eyes.
Hunter was the first to hold back: "Boss, who is that person? He seems to be very powerful?"
"You will know when it comes." Liu Qingshan was not too surprised. With Yu Miao's talent and hard work, who knows how far she will grow?
In just over an hour, Yu Miao arrived. She was really a beautiful girl.
At first, Hunter and the others were a little unconvinced, but after Miao clicked on the keyboard for a while, Hunter and the others immediately changed their attitude, and everyone began to nod and bow down, serving tea and pouring water.
Dealing with these technical men is actually very simple, as long as you can defeat them with technology.
Yu Miao joined the team and studied with Hunter and others; Liu Qingshan studied with Adrian and launched the GV software in due course.
"Boss, how do you charge for this? We plan to charge it on a monthly basis, ten dollars per month. What do you think?" Adrian asked Liu Qingshan for his opinion.
Liu Qingshan smiled and waved his hand: "Same as before, free."
free!
Adrian opened his mouth wide, and it took him a long time to close it. Well, there was another bottomless pit.
Liu Qingshan was not in a hurry: "At present, we are vigorously developing the user group. Adrian, don't worry, as long as there are people, it will be the greatest wealth in the future."
Although Adrian can't understand it yet, he has always believed in Liu Qingshan's words. wAp.
At noon, Liu Qingshan would invite everyone out for dinner. Who knew that all the technical geeks would order takeout and focus on modifying the code.
Liu Qingshan stopped disturbing them and returned to Columbia Pictures.
After entering the gate, several reporters who were stationed there immediately gathered around, their eyes shining with excitement, like hungry wolves.
"Mr. Mountain, have you read the newspaper? Mr. Looney spoke out in the newspaper and said he wanted to teach you a lesson."
"Mr. Mountain, Mr. Tony Getty was interviewed by the TV station and expressed his wish to have another bet with you. Will you choose to accept the challenge?"
Obviously, Liu Qingshan's remarks during the interview yesterday had a good effect.
Among them, reporters are also indispensable for their contribution to fueling the flames.
Faced with these problems, Liu Qingshan smiled and said: "Please tell those gentlemen that I am happy to accompany you."
Oh well, the reporters were instantly excited: Mr. Mountain, indeed, he has never disappointed them!
The next operation followed a familiar formula. The reporters communicated in the middle, and that night, Liu Qingshan, Looney and others were gathered together.
It's a cocktail party in name, but in fact, it's a signing party.
Witnessed by the media and a team of lawyers, another $500 million gamble shocked the American entertainment industry.
The bet is quite complicated. The core content is: the box office of Forrest Gump in North America must exceed 250 million, and the global box office must exceed 550 million.
The reason why the amount is 50 million more than the original amount is because Looney and others said that after the bet was published, it was equivalent to promoting the movie in disguise, so the box office requirements were also increased accordingly.
Liu Qingshan just smiled at this, then picked up the pen and signed his name on the agreement.
For his free and generous attitude, the guests at the scene gave him warm applause.
This alone can throw Looney and others off a few streets.
But Looney and the others didn't care. The failure of their last bet made them the object of media ridicule. This time, they must regain their face.
Of course, Looney and others would not bet against Liu Qingshan in a hotheaded move.
They also conducted careful research and even invited more than a dozen film critics who had seen the movie, as well as professionals from other major film companies, to conduct risk assessments.
After all, the previous films produced by Liu Qingshan's company had created box office miracles, and Looney and the others were not sure.
The views of film critics are also very clear: the movies previously produced by Hurricane Pictures, whether it is Home Alone or The Matrix, have a relatively large audience.
However, it is not so easy for a drama film like Forrest Gump to obtain high box office.
They concluded that the possibility of Forrest Gump's total box office exceeding 100 million is 45%, the possibility of exceeding 200 million is 15%, and the possibility of exceeding 500 million is only 15%. There are about two percent.
I don’t know how these people came to this conclusion, but they were very excited to call Looney:
If they still dare not gamble, then they have really become cowards!
So this bet came about. The stakes were the same as last time. Looney and the others were trying their best to get revenge.
The next day, basically all entertainment newspapers reported this news. Liu Qingshan never came to the United States without causing a stir.
The movie Forrest Gump has also aroused the interest of many people. Some of them also want to go into the theater to see what kind of movie it is.
It can be seen that Looney and his team are not idlers, at least they foresee this part of the box office.
But in the end everything has to be judged by quality.
Finally, on the third night, the new film produced by Columbia Pictures was released in the United States.
Looney and others originally did not want to contribute to the box office, but they were really itching to think that their dozens of dollars could not affect the overall situation, so they went to a theater together.
They were ready to see with their own eyes how bad this movie was.
The audience in the theater was basically full. When it was time to play, the first thing that appeared was the logo of the Columbia Pictures Torch Goddess, with the torch in her hand shining brightly.
When entering the main film, the story unfolds as a white feather falls from the sky and is collected by A-Gump in his notebook.
It's basically the same as before, with just a few minor changes. For example, Ping Pong Diplomacy includes Forrest Gump’s section on the Great Wall.
And the stocks purchased by A-Gump were also changed from Apple to Earth Network stocks.
Liu Qingshan would not be stupid enough to advertise for Apple. If he did, he would be advertising for his own company.
"Shit, this movie is so bad, how can a retarded person be qualified to represent us!"
After the screening of the movie, Tony Getty finally couldn't help but spit out the fragrance.
Looney and others also nodded. Yes, in the eyes of these so-called elites, this is how they see it.
Suddenly, almost everyone in the cinema looked at them.
Some people's eyes are still shining with hope, while others are shining with tears.
But when looking at Looney and the others, their eyes all turned into anger.
I don’t know who took the lead in shouting: “Get out!”
Then inside the theater, a huge storm formed: rolling, rolling...

The earth was hazy, and there was a ruined city, silent and lifeless in the dim red rain of blood.
The city is in ruins and everything is withered. Collapsed houses can be seen everywhere, as well as blue-black corpses and pieces of meat, like broken autumn leaves, silently withering.
The streets that used to be bustling with people are now desolate.
The sandy dirt road that used to be bustling with people is no longer noisy now.
Only blood and mud mixed with minced meat, dust, and paper were left, indistinguishable from each other, which was shocking.
Not far away, a broken carriage was stuck deep in the mud, full of sadness. Only an abandoned rabbit doll hung on the shaft, swaying in the wind.
The white fluff has long been soaked into wet red, full of eerieness.
The turbid eyes seemed to have some residual resentment, looking lonely at the mottled rocks in front of them.
There, a figure was lying down.
This was a boy of thirteen or fourteen years old, his clothes were torn and covered with dirt, and he had a broken leather bag tied around his waist.
The young man squinted his eyes and remained motionless. The biting cold penetrated his worn coat from all directions and spread throughout his body, gradually taking away his body temperature.

Following his gaze, he saw a skinny vulture gnawing on the carrion of a wild dog, seven or eight feet away from him, occasionally observing its surroundings vigilantly.
It seems that in this dangerous ruins, if there is the slightest movement, it will instantly rise into the sky.
