"Leave a blank for Company A..."

"Eh...but company A's current growth rate is obvious, isn't it?"

"Yeah, but let's hold on for another 10 minutes at most."

"what?"

I raised my head from the black computer screen and looked at Ye Cheng in surprise, while the latter was looking at his mobile phone leisurely.

"In 10 minutes the stock price will plunge."

"Teacher, don't lie to me. I don't have much money to work with now."

If you fail to sell short here, you will not only be swept out of the stock market, but you will not even know what you will have for breakfast tomorrow.

"I tell you to do it and you just do it..."

Ye Cheng impatiently put his phone on the table, then walked to my laptop as if he was supervising me. The 10 minutes passed quickly, and the curve of Company A began to drop sharply almost as soon as I finished shorting it.

"Look, I told you~"

"Why... would the teacher know?"

"Forget about that, hurry up and place an order...well, probably this amount..."

"Sell?"

I looked at the low number on the calculator and was a little puzzled.

"Idiot, of course I bought it!"

"how is this possible……"

Even if company A starts to fall, it is impossible to fall so much in such a short period of time, and the figure given to me by Mr. Ye Cheng is more than 90% lower than the original single-stock figure of that company.

"Tsk... Hurry up, or it will be too late."

Ye Cheng seemed to have no intention of explaining more, and urged me to follow his instructions.The waiting time was a bit long this time, but the money in my account was indeed withdrawn after 30 minutes, and I had nearly 10 times more stock in company A than I had before.

"Amazing……"

I couldn't help but marvel, "Well, as long as he reaches the original number..."

"No, hang on to this number."

What Ye Cheng handed over was a price equivalent to about 40% of the initial stock price of Company A.

"Hey...why? I think the stock of company A should continue to rebound in the future. It's rare to enter at this low point..."

"It's true that the stock of company A will rebound, otherwise I wouldn't let you re-enter at the low point. But..." Ye Cheng smiled, "It will rebound to this figure, at least in the next three years. It will return to the price one hour ago, the era of company A is over..."

"So... is this short selling report true?"

While waiting for the stock price to drop to its lowest point for half an hour, I searched the Internet for the company’s short-selling report, which was leaked through an anonymous agency, and the person who first spread the information was a financial social network called Yiye Bingzhou User.

Looking sideways at the smug look of Ye Cheng's old fox, he suddenly felt that it was better not to expose him.

Now, I am using my only capital to learn how to conduct financial transactions from Ye Cheng... To put it simply, it is to speculate in stocks. Although I don't know how it will help my practice, Ye Cheng still insists on me doing it .However, I do not have the natural ability to monetize and recycle materials like Mr. Ye Cheng, so the accumulation of capital is still very important just for self-protection.

"Please judge for yourself..."

Ye Cheng didn't give a clear answer, but after a rough scan, it was indeed credible.

"Half and half?"

"correct answer."

"But if only half of them are right, why did the stock price rebound to 40%?"

According to Mr. Ye Cheng's personality as if he was performing stunts on a tightrope, he should have estimated about 60% more.

"No, half and half is true, but what matters is the attitude of the owner of the company itself. If the company is important to the owner, then even a rebound to 70% is possible. But this company... ..."

I quickly checked the composition of the CEO and directors of Company A, XX Capital... so it turned out.

"Company A was originally a company built of lies. After listing, it has little meaning to investors. The reason why I think it will rebound... is because this consortium will probably not allow Company A to withdraw in order to continue doing this in the future. market, and 40% of the price is an easy and relatively good-looking price for this consortium.”

Constructed by lies and destroyed by lies, the virtual kingdom of tens of billions of dollars was built in a few months and destroyed in a few hours.Tens of billions of dollars, if converted into the value of human beings, how many lives would that be?I don't know.

I am different from Teacher Ye Cheng, I am not born with the ability to see all the material things in the world, including the value of human beings.In his eyes, what are the red and green numbers dancing on the black computer screen?

"What's wrong?"

It wasn't until Ye Cheng asked me that I realized that I was a little distracted.

"No... nothing..."

"Let's talk, the school seems to be a little strangely quiet recently, maybe you guys are hiding something interesting~"

Not funny at all!Although I wanted to say this, but later I thought about Ye Cheng's interest, and the predicament I am facing now should be his interest.

"I……"

"Does Luo Haofeng have an app for pretending to be a school idol?"

"Eh?"

Just when I was about to mention this matter, the old fox actually took the initiative to say what I wanted to say.

"Does the teacher know about this app?"

"Who do you take me for? How could I not know something that is already so popular in school~"

So it has already become popular to the level of teachers... I feel a stomachache when I think of this, how should I explain to my senior sister and Bai Anshun!

"Actually, I'm a little interested in this app, but I can't install it because I don't have a student ID..."

"It's really good..."

"Um?"

Ye Cheng raised his eyebrows lightly.

"No, nothing..."

"So I was thinking, what would happen if I directly input the student number of another student..."

「!?」

I looked at Ye Cheng in surprise, and subconsciously asked, "Teacher, you wouldn't... take this as a business..."

"Hehe~"

It really is! !

Ye Cheng casually took out a paper list from the drawer, which was the school idol type corresponding to the student ID of all 3000 students in the school.There are handsome and hearty boys, gentle girls, sports girls, etc. All types are marked with prices, followed by the corresponding student numbers.

"It's almost like..."

"Human traffickers~" Ye Cheng smiled, "But these are not human beings, they are just a bunch of data. Or do you have to be sympathetic to others even so?"

No, now I will not refute anything for such a simple reason.

"But, this is really strange, isn't it? Such an unknown thing will become popular..."

"The reason is very simple... just like most Internet products, it was born out of loneliness~ If I were about ten years younger, I would probably be addicted to it..."

"lonely……"

"That's right, loneliness is a very powerful force."

"In the process of the development of human society, we have gone through a long period of time in which we have to work as a team to meet the most basic survival period-in fact, it is still the same now-so humans are genetically animals that have to connect with others. Now The Internet is so developed that it allows people to carry out social division of labor and cooperation without face-to-face..."

"but?"

"But if it's just like this, the loneliness of human beings will not be satisfied. The instinct to communicate with and get close to people deeply imprinted in the genes will make people fall into crazy loneliness. Fortunately, the Internet is so developed now, as long as loneliness If it is done, it can be solved online.”

"Eh? Doesn't that create a paradox?"

"That's right, it's indeed a paradox. Why do some people become addicted to the Internet and completely lose interest in the real world? It's because they can't live without the Internet for a moment, otherwise they will die."

Died because of loneliness, is that person a rabbit?

"I'm not joking. The Internet does not make information more transparent, but it makes information more unequal. Although public information spreads faster, it also means that wanting to fabricate something becomes Easier. We always get the best parts from the Internet, and we can ignore the bad parts. It doesn’t cost money to unfollow online anyway. For those who use the Internet to wrap themselves up, it’s probably the same as For those of us who live in the real world, the world we see is different—born in the Internet, grown in the Internet, and become a part of the Internet world.”

"As for human beings, the first need is actually desire, and spiritual desire is more terrifying than material desire. This is a bit strange, because people will die if they don't eat, but this is not the obvious difference between humans and ordinary animals. The difference. Because ordinary animals have to eat and sleep to survive, right? However, spiritual desires are unique to humans.”

"Desire..."

This reminds me of a certain mobile phone app that quickly became popular because of strangers making friends with the opposite sex. Since that app became popular, the industry seems to have concluded that socializing without dating is a fallacy such as hooliganism.These changes are enough to prove that what the teacher said is correct... However, I always feel that I am not happy because of this.

"Human beings will be connected more closely because of the Internet, but on the other hand, human beings will also become more distant because of the Internet. But in general, they are getting closer..."

Ye Cheng also seemed to be hesitating a little bit when he couldn't pay attention.

"Does the teacher think that one day, there will be a future of a brain in a vat?"

"Of course~"

Ye Cheng answered very simply.

"Take company A as an example. Why do these companies want to enter the social networking market?"

"Is it because the social network market is huge~?"

"That's right, social networks are no longer an extension of social networking in reality, but directly replace the link of social networking in reality. In other words, it is the prototype of the future network society. It may be more appropriate to compare it to a country. When we are in different social Having different identities on the Internet is like having passports in different countries. One day, when these social networks are all opened up, we can even let our identities flow between different networks.”

"..."

It's a little difficult to understand, but in my mind, as long as human beings are still human beings, the fact that they cannot abandon the real world will not change.

"Yes, it is difficult to understand the actual value of that short report without giving up the human body. If you imagine that we are born in the online world, what does that short report mean?"

The short-selling report accused the company of falsely reporting profits, revealing that the company’s financial report adopted a special profit statistics method to separate the accounting time of revenue and cost, which means that if it continues, the company will suffer large-scale losses in the next few years.

"Exhausting the river to fish... huh..."

"Yes, if you are a resident of cyberspace, you should start worrying about whether the country's tax revenue will increase tenfold from next year due to the increase in fiscal expenditure. Of course you can't be so stupid and wait to be slaughtered by this country , fleeing to a neighboring country before the prophecy becomes a reality is the best option.”

"However, the Internet world is the Internet world, right? I am not a resident of the Internet world, and there will be no residents of the Internet world in the future, right? Even if the fable of the real brain in a vat is realized."

Brain in a vat refers to a scientific fable that human beings have left their physical form and put their brains in a training tank to survive in a virtual world.

"Even so, the Internet is nothing more than a tool to connect human beings. There must be real human beings born. Otherwise, who will maintain this network in the real world that this network is attached to?"

"What you said is both correct and incorrect..."

"Um?"

"The online world is a part of the real world... This is just a self-talk of "us" humans who were born in the real world. The sentence pattern of who is a part of who is originally used to describe a clear relationship between superiors and subordinates However, the online world and the real world don’t belong to this category.” Ye Cheng paused, “Speaking of which, the question of size doesn’t apply to the word ‘world’, does it?”

"When we slashed and burned the world, the size of the world was only as big as the mountain in the west to the river in the east. Later, with the progress of human civilization, the definition of the word "world" is constantly changing. Until now, all we have The reason for the boundary between the "world" that can be touched and the "world" that can be perceived is still not that the "world" is only so big, but that we can only recognize it. "Network World", "Cyberspace" 、The "virtual world" was created by us... No, it has only been 30 years since we discovered it, which is much shorter than the time we spent exploring the real world. Based on this alone, it can be concluded that the online world is a subsidiary of the real world Pin, this is still inappropriate, right?"

Finally, under Ye Cheng's tirade, I was completely devolved into it, but the only good news is that the stock of Company A, which I just bought at the lowest point, has now started to rebound.

"According to Teacher Ye Cheng, there is no strict boundary between the real world and the online world?"

"Yeah, that's right~"

Ye Cheng showed a teachable smile, but I didn't understand it at all.

"At least in the genre I founded, the essence of this world is not much different from the essence of the online world. Even if human beings leave their bodies and enter the online world, their value can be measured by money. It is better to say that the online world It’s more convenient, and the world composition over there uses the same numerical measurement as money, so it’s understandable, right?”

The corners of my mouth turned up slightly, not because I understood Ye Cheng's words, but on the contrary because I no longer knew what expression to make.Ye Cheng sighed, and seemed to understand that I didn't understand what I just said at all. It seems that I have to increase my homework today.

"This is not a particularly difficult thing to understand. After all, even this kind of electronic creature has been made, how far is it from humans entering the online world to survive?"

"Network...biology?" I frowned, looking at Ye Cheng who was fiddling with his mobile phone, a very ominous premonition rose from the bottom of my heart, "Is the teacher talking about school idols?"

"Yeah~ Don't you know?"

Why do you look surprised instead, teacher!Please talk about such important things before the long lecture!

Although I wanted to make complaints about it, I still resisted the desire and shook my head. If I knew that this was really an online creature, how could I still investigate it leisurely.But if he messed up at this time, he would be blackmailed by Ye Cheng again like last time.

Almost jumped up from the ground and rushed to Ye Cheng's desk.Ye Cheng backed away with a smirk and turned the phone screen upside down so that I couldn't see it, while the other hand made a gesture of counting money.

"Half of today's income..."

"[-]%"

"Sixty-five percent~"

"make a deal……"

Ye Cheng stretched out his arm, and the phone stood in front of me.

"Say hello to him~"

What I could see was a familiar boy standing in a white 3D space on the small high-definition screen.

"We met for the first time... No, it should be said that I finally met you, Luo Haofeng."

The boy bowed to me very politely on the screen, and I didn't recognize this face that shouldn't be easily forgotten until the boy raised his head again...

"Shan... Shan Shangchuan!?"
