Top of the big era

When Zhou Buqi arrived in London, he first saw Wu Yu, Ning Yameng and Shi Jingmei, who were all based in London at this time. The new season of European football has begun, and their blind box business is about to start a new round of operations.

At this time, the value of the transfer market is reflected.

If the team remains unchanged, or only a few unimportant positions are slightly strengthened, the sense of freshness and expectation brought about will not be strong enough, and it will be difficult to give people the desire to consume.

The consumption power in Europe and the United States is very strong. In addition to high income, there is also the concept of advanced consumption and an overly complete business and social system, so that consumers have too much trust in businesses.

Just like in China, there are many scammers, many of whom are selling loudly on the road with loudspeakers, and various gimmicks emerge in an endless stream, which has trained the people to be more cautious when purchasing, for fear of being deceived.

It's different in Europe and the United States. People are very stupid and naive. They basically just buy whatever they want without much careful consideration.

Such misunderstandings create a space for businesses to make money.

How can a businessman not lie to others?

No matter you are in Europe, North America, China, Japan or South Korea, the business routines are very similar.

It just needs to be hidden under the cloak of legality.

A very common trick is to create opportunities for impulse consumption, so that consumers can be impulsive and then spend money to buy a bunch of less important things.

So is football.

Manchester United has changed its head coach this season, and the lineup has also undergone major changes, especially the midfield position, which has almost undergone a major change. Changes will bring curiosity, attention and chasing eyes.

This has boosted sales of jerseys and blind box figures.

Zhou Buqi had heard about this before, and the stock blind boxes of four clubs, including Manchester United and Chelsea, had been sold out.

I don’t know if it’s a deliberate attempt to create market tension, or if it’s really out of stock.

Anyway, I should be very happy.

Unexpectedly, when she saw Wu Yu, she burst into tears, as if she had been greatly wronged, and rushed over, "Husband..."

Zhou Buqi was startled and hugged her quickly, "What's wrong? What happened?"

Looking to the side, Ning Yameng's expression was also a bit sad.

On the other hand, the second sister Shi Jingmei was fine. She was a little hesitant and hesitated to speak.

Zhou Buqi immediately noticed something strange and stared at Shi Jingmei, "What's going on?"

Shi Jingmei's smile was a little awkward, "Linlin called just now and said it would take off tomorrow and should arrive the day after tomorrow."

Zhou Buqi said angrily: "Pick the key points!"

Shi Jingmei whispered: "Linlin said there was something wrong with you and you couldn't have a child with her."

"Um."

Zhou Buqi nodded.

Unexpectedly, Wu Yu burst into tears with a cry of "Wow" in her arms, heartbroken, "Husband, you are so pitiful..."

Zhou Buqi was stunned, hugged her shoulders, then reached out to wipe the tears on her face, and said inexplicably: "Why am I pitiful?"

Wu Yu sobbed and said: "You can't even have children..."

"What?" Zhou Buqi had a black line on his forehead and almost died of anger, "What are you talking about? Who can't have a child?"

"Ah?" Wu Yu seemed to have come to his senses, his sobbing stopped suddenly, and he looked shocked, "You can still give birth?"

Zhou Buqi was really angry to death, "Of course I can give birth. I went back to China to attend a few social events and drank a few drinks. I just planned to wait a few months before having a baby with Linlin. What's going on? ?”

"real?"

Wu Yu blinked his big eyes, and there were still a few tears on his long eyelashes.

Next to her, Ning Yameng also looked at him blankly, "Brother-in-law, you...are you okay?"

"Of course it's okay, who is spreading rumors to me here..." Zhou Buqi was speechless, and then he realized, "Shi Jinglin? Did she tell you?"

Wu Yu nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

Ning Yameng's state suddenly became much more relaxed, and she couldn't laugh or cry, "Yes, she called to tell you that you had an inappropriate private life, contracted male diseases, and would not be able to have children in the future, so she didn't get pregnant for so long. . What she said was so true, and she asked us not to call you for fear of irritating you."

Zhou Buqi said angrily: "I think she is crazy!"

Wu Yu stopped crying and laughed heartlessly.

Shi Jingmei felt guilty, "Actually, I didn't believe it at first, Linlin...she would sometimes pull such pranks."

Zhou Buqi let out a loud "hum".

Wu Yu winked at him, feeling that her thoughts were straightened out instantly, her eyes lit up, "Oh, I understand! Don't you have to go through the formalities this time? Sister Linlin may be in a bad mood and thinks you are a scumbag. , I want to take revenge on you."

Zhou Buqi knew he was in the wrong, "I don't have the same experience as her."

He didn't dare to vent his anger on Shi Jinglin.

However, she can take her anger out on her second sister.

Then, he called Shi Jingmei to the study and ordered her to lift her skirt to her waist and lie down on the table.

"Take it lightly, I have to meet with clients tomorrow."

Shi Jingmei looked back and gave him a wink.

Zhou Buqi snorted, walked over, pulled her black safety pants down to her knees, but without further stripping her naked, he slapped her white butt a few times.

After seven or eight blows, Zhou Buqi felt that he had released his temper, "Okay, get up!"

"Ah? Is this the end?" Shi Jingmei was not satisfied yet, "I didn't even feel it."

Zhou Buqi was so angry that he almost went over and beat her up again.

But he immediately stopped thinking about it.

Doesn't this just go along with her wishes?

This is not okay, we can't let her take advantage of it in vain.

Shi Jingmei stood up, put on her safety pants, put down her skirt, straightened it out, her eyes were full of resentment, and then she thought more deeply, "Shall I go to your room tonight?"

Zhou Buqi was very alert, "What are you doing?"

Shi Jing gave him a white look, "What did you say you were doing?"

"Stop seducing me. Your sister has already said that she has been immoral in her private life, and you still want me to make mistakes?" Zhou Buqi refused to accept her, "Don't you have a boyfriend?"

Shi Jingmei waved her hand lightly and said, "You're yellow!"

Zhou Buqi was amused, "Are you old again? How many are there?"

Shi Jingmei said angrily: "I'm far behind compared to you. I don't want my husband to be worse than my brother-in-law."

"What do you mean? You can't find a partner and pass the responsibility to me?"

"That's what it is."

"If you are still a virgin, you are no longer a virgin. I don't want... Hey! You dare to fight with me?"

Zhou Buqi's eyes widened, because Shi Jing's beauty was displeased with his chauvinist words with feudal thoughts, so he raised his foot and kicked his calf.

Can't bear it.

At that moment, he pushed Shi Jingmei down on the sofa, lifted up her skirt, pulled down her safety pants and beat her again until she seemed to have peed her pants before he stopped.

Shi Jingmei was now satisfied, with more smiles on her face, and said softly: "When Linlin comes, don't be like her. She won't feel comfortable even if she goes through the divorce procedures."

Zhou Buqi said "Yeah", "I know."

"I'm going to take a shower, do you want to come with me?"

"Not going."

Zhou Buqi rejected her invitation to take a mandarin duck bath and stayed in the study to communicate with Tang Binchen on the phone. He was now in London. We will meet tomorrow, mainly to discuss data security issues and to nip them in the bud.

This is a big concept.

In the development process of Internet technology, data is the cornerstone, and all algorithms must rely on data to survive, especially artificial intelligence, which has become very popular in recent years.

If you want to build an excellent AI model, you need a lot of data for training.

There is another problem here.

Artificial intelligence is a cutting-edge technology field, and the most powerful talents are in Silicon Valley. In other words... data must be in Silicon Valley before it can be used by Silicon Valley's technical team.

Therefore, many American technology companies will transfer global data to American servers.

It's only 2011, and all parties actually don't pay enough attention to data security.

It won’t be possible in a few years.

This will rise to the level of international strategy. Not only China attaches great importance to restricting data abuse by Internet companies, but also Europe and the United States.

The United States keeps making trouble and wants to ban TikTok. The thunder is loud but the rain is small, but in fact there is no substantial harm. The confrontation between the United States and Europe is even more severe. The European Union has even issued an agenda to ban Facebook.

This directly caused Facebook's market value to shrink from US$1 trillion to more than US$200 billion.

The logic behind this is actually data security.

Of course, the so-called data security is not the high-sounding so-called protection of user privacy at all. It is mainly aimed at the terrifying power of artificial intelligence in the future.

This thing is so powerful and developing so fast.

For example, if an American AI company masters French user data, it is equivalent to understanding the operating mechanism of French society, which is related to the security of national strategy.

Therefore, as the times advance, the faster artificial intelligence develops, the stronger the willingness of countries to protect their own data. No one knows how far artificial intelligence will develop in the future. Data is the lifeblood of our society in the AI ​​era.

No one wants the lifeblood of their country to be in foreign hands.

At least the United States, China, and the European Union, the "world's top three", all hope to maintain sufficient independence.

Artificial intelligence is a major part of Ziweixing's key layout. From a long-term perspective, it is necessary to keep U.S. data in the United States, domestic data in China, and EU data in the EU and cannot be transferred casually.

This is the basis.

There is a more important point, which must be publicized.

Zhou Buqi doesn’t want to be too public, so he leaves it to Tang Binchen to run the European side. He must constantly provide feedback to society and the EU, and call on all sectors of society to pay attention to data security, prohibit the transoceanic transmission of user data, and be wary of American high-tech Corporate data plunder.

The conservative and prudent Ziweixing can get better treatment than American technology companies in terms of policies.
