Hello 1983

Mr. Mountain had made big news for them. Of course, the reporters were looking forward to it, because Mr. Mountain had never disappointed them.

At the press conference, Chambers first introduced the Forrest Gump movie, and then the main event came, and the reporters began to interview Liu Qingshan.

"Mr. Mountain, you are very optimistic about this movie, but there is news that this movie is a bit unsatisfactory, so can you predict the box office?"

Liu Qingshan nodded with a smile: "This is one of the two films that Columbia Pictures will focus on this year. As for the box office, of course there is no problem. The North American box office must exceed [-] million, and the global box office must exceed [-] million."

While talking, Liu Qingshan still clenched his fists: "Everyone just need to remember one sentence in the future, produced by Columbia, it must be a high-quality product."

It really was a worthwhile trip!

All the reporters had smiles on their faces, as long as they interviewed Mr. Mountain, there must be big news.

For movies with a box office of over [-] million, one or two a year is good, and most of them are action movies or sci-fi big productions.

A feature film like Forrest Gump seems to be a bit difficult. I don't know where Mr. Mountain's confidence comes from?

So the reporters asked questions more enthusiastically, and finally pissed off Liu Qingshan: "If you don't believe me, gentlemen, I can make a bet with you!"

The scene fell silent immediately, and then a reporter suddenly said: "Mr. Mountain, it's a pity that I don't have [-] million US dollars, otherwise, I would definitely bet with you."

The reporters chuckled for a while, this has become an allusion.

Liu Qingshan also spread his hands with a smile: "Then you can invite, I think there should be someone who wants to bet against me."

The reporters got even more excited when they heard it, so they almost called the roll call.

When they go back, they will definitely add fuel to the story, with a headline such as "Let's Gamble Against Dissatisfaction", and give the two sides a good shot, maybe there will be another big news.

The press conference was successfully concluded, and the reporters happily went back to spread the news. Judging by their energy, they obviously didn't hold back anything.

"Liu, you shouldn't give Looney and the others a chance to retaliate." Xiao Li was a little worried, and he really didn't know what to do.

Liu Qingshan didn't take it seriously: "You don't understand the principle of pulling wool, you have to catch a sheep, and then you can pull it hard."

Xiao Li brushed his slightly curly long hair with his hands, and felt a chill at the root of his hair.

The next day, when Liu Qingshan went to Earth Net to inspect, he finally saw some kind of response in the newspaper.

Under the intentional fire of the reporters, Looney Rockefeller finally couldn't help but speak:

"Since some people are arrogant, then we don't mind teaching him a lesson."

Liu Qingshan could not help shaking his head slightly after reading this news: "Young man, I am too impatient."

Adrian, the president of the Earth Network, looked at the young boss, his lips twitched for a long time, and finally couldn't help it:

"Boss, the situation is not good. The stock of our Earth Network has been falling recently, which is far worse than Cisco. The bet between you and Professor Merton is already in an extremely unfavorable situation."

Of course, Adrian has reason to worry: Boss, is there too many lice and doesn't it itch?

Chapter 981, another bottomless pit

In the conference room of Earth.com, Liu Qingshan is listening to reports from Adrian and the main creators.

In the original time and space, the first Internet website was created only this year; but now, the earth network has developed thrivingly.

With the two big killers of free email and free anti-virus software, Earth Net has become the largest portal website in the world, bar none.

There is nothing wrong with this title, because so far, all the portals add up to only three or five.

Those are all established this year, and the scale is relatively small.

As of the first half of this year, the number of registered users of Earth Net has exceeded 500 million.

Not only that, while most other Internet companies are at a loss, EarthNet has gradually figured out its own profit model.

Through web advertisements and email push advertisements, last year Earth Net made a profit of more than 2000 million U.S. dollars.

Of course, this amount of money is not enough for them to burn themselves, and it is not enough to buy servers. In fact, the Earth Network is still in a state of needing blood transfusion.

There is no way, Internet companies, in the initial stage, are like this.

And those investment banks with a keen sense of smell are also aware of the huge development prospects of the Earth Network, waving banknotes, and want to invest in the Earth Network.

Unfortunately, as the company's largest shareholder, Liu Qingshan is not short of money and does not need financing.

The vampires on Wall Street were of course dissatisfied with such a large piece of fat, but they couldn't eat it. So some people began to intentionally manipulate the stock price of Earth.com.

Originally, the stock of Earth Net was rising all the way, with a good momentum.

Especially after Liu Qingshan, the largest shareholder, owns two large oil fields one after another, the stock has jumped 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.

As a result, in recent months, the stock of Earth Net has been falling all the way, which made Adrian and the others very anxious.

Obviously, these guys want to see Liu Qingshan's jokes. After all, during the Nobel Prize last year, the bet between Liu Qingshan and Professor Merton was widely spread.

Although the bet this time is not too big, in the eyes of outsiders, it is Liu Qingshan who stands out for his mentor, Professor Peter.

No matter which party fails, it means ruin.

After listening to Adrian's report, Liu Qingshan also fell into deep thought. It seems that he still underestimated the greed of human nature. Behind this, there must be the shadow of Professor Merton. After all, he has been in Wall Street for so many years.

But it's not that there is no chance of a comeback on my side, after all, there are still several months until the end of the year.

"Hunter, have you worked out the instant messaging software you are researching?" Liu Qingshan turned to Hunter, the person in charge of the R&D team.

Hunter still looked foolish, he snapped his fingers: "Boss, no problem, the internal test is currently being completed."

After finishing speaking, he added: "Boss, why don't you take a look, although you are not good at technology, but in terms of creativity, we all admire you."

Cough cough, Adrian coughed twice, and kept winking at Hunter, and Hunter seemed to react, grinning and giggling.

With these guys, Liu Qingshan didn't bother to bother, and went directly to Hunter's computer.

Glancing at the icons on the computer desktop, Liu Qingshan quickly found an icon.

This is a cartoon image of the earth, the main color is light blue, with 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 English letters: GV.

The name of this software is global village, 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: "As expected of the boss, you can find it accurately!"

In fact, there are not many icons on the desktop. This guy, Hunter, obviously didn't mean what he said.

Afterwards, Liu Qingshan chose to register on the small window that popped up, and began to register his own account.

"Boss, wait a moment. I'll go and operate it in the background for you. The number one account, which is 000001, has been reserved for the boss."

Hunter also learned to flatter this time.

"Six digits, it probably won't be enough in the future, forget it, let's add more digits in the future." Liu Qingshan muttered.

Hunter and others blinked together: 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 trumpets still exist in this world?

After Hunter finished dealing with Liu Qingshan, Liu Qingshan boarded his Tianzi No. [-]. As the boss and the creator of this software, he certainly has the qualifications to enjoy this honor.

In Liu Qingshan's view, the interface is very simple, try the function, and you can send text and official emoticons.

There are no voice, picture and other functions left.

However, the function of transferring files is still available.

"Boss, I'll add you as a friend, you pass it."

Hunter logged into his account on the computer next to him, which was number 002.

Liu Qingshan also saw that the little globe began to flicker, and clicked on the pop-up window: Superman requests to add you as a friend.

Looking at the other person's profile picture, it really looks like a superman in a cape.

Liu Qingshan almost sprayed the keyboard on the keyboard with a sip of tea: Just like you, do you have the nerve to call him Superman?

But on the Internet, it is so magical, and this is what makes it attractive.

"Boss!" Accompanied by Didi's notification tone, Hunter sent a message with a somewhat wretched smiling face.

Liu Qingshan also replied: "Please wear your underpants outside, and then call yourself a superman."

After chatting for a few words, Liu Qingshan felt that it was okay, the function and so on, and it will be improved slowly in the future.

While Liu Qingshan was chatting with Hunter, several accounts applied for friends. Liu Qingshan knew that they were all employees of the company, so he clicked to agree.

Looking at these screen names, Liu Qingshan couldn't help laughing: "I remember that there doesn't seem to be any women in our research and development team. Who is this beautiful girl?"

Unexpectedly, in the internal test, someone changed their gender?

But this is also one of the joys of chatting online, with 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, Damei Niu sent a message to Liu Qingshan: Qingshan, old classmate, have you come to the United States yet?

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 is an illegal intrusion, but the anti-virus system did not call the police?

Liu Qingshan chatted with Yu Miao on the opposite side, and then invited Yu Miao to come to Los Angeles to help Hunter improve the security settings. Obviously, the current GV still has great hidden dangers.

"I'm in Los Angeles right now, I'll hurry there." Yu Miao replied again.

After Liu Qingshan finished chatting, they all looked at him with weird eyes when they saw Hunter.

Hunter couldn't help it first: "Boss, who is that guy, he seems very powerful?"

"When it comes, you will know." Liu Qingshan is 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 is really a beautiful girl.

Hunter and the others were a little unconvinced at first, but after Yu Miao tapped on the keyboard for a while, Hunter and the others immediately changed their attitudes, and they all started nodding and bowing, serving tea and water.

Treating these technical men is actually very simple, as long as you can beat them with technology.

Yu Miao joined the team and worked with Hunter and the others; Liu Qingshan worked with Adrian to launch the GV software in due course.

"Boss, how do you charge for this? We plan to charge monthly, ten dollars per month. What do you think?" Adrian asked Liu Qingshan for his opinion.

Liu Qingshan smiled and waved his hands: "Same as before, free of charge."

free!

Adrian opened his mouth wide, and it took him a long time to close it. Well, another bottomless pit came.

Liu Qingshan is not in a hurry: "At present, we are vigorously developing the user group, Adrian, don't worry, as long as there are people, they will be the greatest wealth in the future."

Although Adrian still can't understand it now, he has always believed in Liu Qingshan's words.

At noon, Liu Qingshan still wanted to invite everyone out for dinner. Who knew that those technical nerds would all order takeaway and focus on modifying the code.

Liu Qingshan stopped bothering them and returned to Columbia Pictures.

After entering the gate, several squatting reporters immediately surrounded him, their eyes sparkling with excitement, like hungry wolves.

"Mr. Mountain, have you read the newspaper? Mr. Looney said in the newspaper that he wants to teach you a lesson."

"Mr. Mountain, Mr. Tony Getty was interviewed by the TV station and expressed his wish to make another bet with you. Would you choose to fight?"

Obviously, the remarks made by Liu Qingshan during the interview yesterday produced good results.

Among them, the credit of the reporters is also indispensable.

Facing these problems, Liu Qingshan smiled: "Please tell those gentlemen, I am happy to accompany you."

Oh well, the reporters climaxed instantly: Mr. Mountain, sure enough, he has never disappointed them!

The next operation was still a familiar formula. The reporters communicated among them, and that night, they gathered Liu Qingshan, Luni and others together.

It was a reception in name, but in fact, it was a signing event.

Under the joint witness of the media and the legal team, another gamble of [-] million US dollars shocked the entertainment industry in the United States.

The bet is quite complicated, the core content is: Forrest Gump, the box office in North America must exceed 5000 million, and the global box office must exceed 5000 million.

The reason for the 5000 million more than the original is because Looney and others said that after the bet this time was published in the newspaper, it was tantamount to promoting the movie in a disguised form, so the requirements for the box office have also increased accordingly.
