Hello 1983

At noon, Liu Qingshan was naturally the host, who told him he was 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 the Earth Network today, he saw a promotional message.

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

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

There really was someone online, a guy named Superman, who accepted 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 shocked 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 just wonderful!"

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 the global village, so you have won a gold medal. With the medal, you can have some privileges. The customer service will get in touch with you later."

Carl cheered again, then shook his fist vigorously.

After getting excited, Carl started calling his classmates and friends, and told them all to apply for a global village account.

This scene is happening in many cities.

And at the headquarters of the Earth Web, 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 [-] users."

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

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

The Earth 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 the original words of Mr. Bill from Microsoft quoted by a newspaper.

"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. It's great, isn't it?"

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

"However, there are also some unsatisfactory aspects of GV. 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 Qiao's complaints, it can be seen that this guy is still a little picky.

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

"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 have also put forward many suggestions for the software of Global Village.

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

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

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

Chasing ups and downs is a problem for all investors, and this time even the vampires on Wall Street can't stop them.

Even many of the original short-sellers of Earth Net stocks turned their backs one after another and began to speculate in Earth Net stocks. After all, investors are always chasing profits.

In an office at Stanford University, there was the sound of angry expletives, accompanied by loud bangs from objects being thrown.

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

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

Professor Merton seemed to see money and fame flying towards him with his little wings.

In the end, it really flew here, also with wings, but it brought him a catastrophe.

Not to mention the 1000 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 for a while, Professor Merton slumped on the chair weakly, his eyes were slack, as if he was a walking dead.

With a crisp sound of ding dong, Professor Merton finally returned to his senses. He looked at the computer next to him, and there was a small icon blinking.

He specially downloaded this to verify the GV software.

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

"To hell with everything!"

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

Professor Merton toppled over and fell to the ground.

Chapter 984 What should I do if it is too popular?

The news that Professor Merton had a sudden cerebral hemorrhage and was admitted to the hospital soon appeared in the newspapers.

After all, Mr. Professor just won the economics award last year, and he is in full swing.

And because of the betting incident with Liu Qingshan, it is also talked about by the public.

At the moment when the stock of Earth Net was going up somersaults, Professor Merton fell ill and was hospitalized, which inevitably aroused some associations.

Liu Qingshan learned the news at the press conference.

Forrest Gump's movie was finally released from the theaters. It took a total of 5000 million box office in North America within a month or so.

The global box office has not yet come out, but as of now, it has exceeded [-] million.

This result is even higher than the original box office.

The reason should be that the topic is more topical. After all, the shocking bet between Liu Qingshan and Lu Ni and others still attracts the attention of the public.

In addition, in terms of publicity, it is also ingenious, such as activities such as "Finding Mountain", and the song in the film that cannot be copied.

This song is considered to be completely popular. Many sports competitions, the background music played, will choose this song Chasing Dreams.

There is also a Chinese version, and Liu Qingshan gave it to Lao Cui to sing.

The box office exceeded expectations, which means that Liu Qingshan once again won the bet with Looney and others.

Therefore, under the joint witness of the media and the legal team, the two parties fulfilled the bet.

Looney and the others were absent from the meeting due to various reasons, and whoever it was would probably be ashamed to come.

However, these wealthy families did not dare to renege on their debts, so they hired lawyers and brought cash checks.

Of course Liu Qingshan accepted it with a smile, and thanked Luni and others, and made an appointment to continue playing happily together.

There was a lot of laughter at the scene: Mr. Mountain is probably the only one who is happy alone. Looney and the others are almost depressed to death.

In the subsequent interview with reporters, a reporter revealed the news that Professor Merton was hospitalized due to cerebral hemorrhage, and asked Liu Qingshan:

"Mr. Mountain, out of humanitarian spirit, would you cancel your bet with Professor Merton?"

Liu Qingshan was also taken aback, and he blinked: This professor's psychology is too fragile, right?

However, Liu Qingshan is also aware of the pitfalls in the reporter's question. This is a very tricky question. If you don't answer it well, it will affect your image in the public.

Because of Professor Merton's disease, he has become a vulnerable group in people's eyes and deserves sympathy.

After a little deliberation, Liu Qingshan said with a serious face: "I deeply sympathize with what happened to Professor Merton."

"If necessary, I will invite my master to come and use Chinese medicine and acupuncture to help Professor Merton with his rehabilitation. In this regard, Chinese medicine combined with acupuncture is very effective."

The reporter was also taken aback by what he said: Haven't you forgotten to speak for Chinese medicine at this time?

But the reporter couldn't refute it. After several years of promotion, people in many countries have gradually begun to accept traditional Chinese medicine.

Especially after the field of AIDS treatment has shined, it can be regarded as the name of traditional Chinese medicine.

In contrast, the advantages of traditional Chinese medicine are also highlighted: less toxic and side effects, cheaper prices, etc., which are more suitable for popularization.

This has also aroused the vigilance of some large pharmaceutical companies in Europe and the United States, because the vigorous development of traditional Chinese medicine has taken away the cake that originally belonged to them.

The dispute between China and the West is manifested in various industries.

"Mr. Mountain, I think Professor Merton will also thank you for your selfless help, but I think Professor Merton is more concerned about the 1000 million bet. At that time, if you win, will you continue to ask for it? "

The reporter still did not give up and continued to ask the bottom line.

Liu Qingshan spread his hands: "Gentlemen, these are two different things. Don't confuse them. I think Professor Merton must also be a person who abides by the spirit of the contract with his knowledge and reputation."

His intentions were clear: it was impossible to renege on his debts.

After leaving the reception, Liu Qingshan returned to the headquarters of Columbia Corporation, where there was still a celebration party waiting for him.

Chambers invited all the crew of Forrest Gump to hold a reception to celebrate.

In addition to the crew members, there are some high-level executives of the company, as well as small shareholders such as Xiao Li and other companies.

These shareholders praised Liu Qingshan very much, the reason is very simple, because of the big sales of Forrest Gump and The Lion King, the stock of Columbia Pictures has risen a lot.

They were also invited to come together with some stars in the entertainment industry, such as MJ and Whitney who have a good relationship with Liu Qingshan.

Mr. Ali, the boxing champion, also came to congratulate him enthusiastically, and Liu Qingshan also saw the basketball superstar magician again.

In Liu Qingshan's eyes, the magician's smile was a little forced.

Liu Qingshan also probably guessed his intention, so he hugged the magician very affectionately.

Sure enough, as Liu Qingshan expected, the magician came to treat the illness this time.

Although the virus in his body was effectively controlled by the cocktail therapy, the side effects were really tormenting.

Especially when he saw that many patients, under the treatment of traditional Chinese medicine, their condition improved and they basically returned to normal life, the magician felt very regretful:

If I knew it earlier, I should have chosen to believe in Chinese medicine in the first place.

After chatting with the magician for a few words, Liu Qingshan said with a smile: In the AIDS Research Center in Los Angeles, there is a Chinese medicine doctor, Mr. Magician can go there for medical treatment.

Because they pay more attention to the side of the United States, Huang Xuanting, the eldest disciple of Song Yizhen, leads the team to sit in the town, and the curative effect is guaranteed.

The magician also felt the change in Liu Qingshan's attitude this time, obviously not as enthusiastic as last time.

This is also understandable, because he chose not to trust the other party first, and now that he can still receive you with a smile, he has already given enough face.

So the magician showed his iconic smile again: "Mr. Mountain, thank you very much. If possible, I will wait for your master to come here and personally apologize to the old man."

Liu Qingshan thought for a moment, then nodded: "My master may come to Los Angeles at the end of the year to discuss the establishment of Chinese medicine treatment centers in major cities. At that time, I will contact Mr. Magician."

This is also a big plan for Liu Qingshan to promote Chinese medicine, and it is still under planning.

After all, there are too many things involved in this kind of thing, and it is quite difficult to implement.

The magician was also overjoyed and thanked him quickly. After all, he was not short of money, and of course he hoped to get the best doctor's treatment.

Afterwards, they started chatting, how could the magician be smart enough, but because he was so smart, he seemed a bit tactful.

And those people with distinct personalities are more willing to be accepted by Liu Qingshan.

"I heard that Mr. Mountain bought a football team in England and the results are very good. Are you interested in buying an NBA team?"

Magicians are purely nonsense.

Liu Qingshan's heart was moved, and he said with a smile: "I'm quite interested in the Lakers."

Although Liu Qingshan's money is tight, he just won [-] million US dollars from Looney Rockefeller and others, so it is no problem to buy a team.

The main problem is that the current team is really cheap.

Decades later, if you don't have billions of dollars to buy a team, you are too embarrassed to ask the price.

For example, in the last two cases, in 2018, the boss Cai bought the Nets and spent 23.5 billion;
