Chapter 126 Threat

Chen Xu and his team's destination this time is Boston, a city in the eastern United States.

Boston in May is similar to that in China. It is the time of spring and summer transition, and the maximum daytime temperature is above 25 degrees.

Due to the time difference, it was 1:00 pm local time in Boston.

Because Professor Liu Chenglin often came here to participate in academic exchanges, he got off the plane and took everyone to the Hines Convention Center next to Boston University after getting off the plane.

The hotel they stayed at was right next to the Hines Convention Center.

After they got off their luggage at the hotel, they went to the conference center to sign in.

The academic conference they attended this time is full name: arhitetural support fornaturalanguageandoperating system (architectural support for natural language and operating systems).

This is one of the top A+ categories of international computers.

The ranking of academic conferences in the field of computers is divided into 5 levels: a+, a, b, c, and l.

Among them, a+ is the top conference, which is basically the conference that the world's big guys participated in and paid attention to in this field.

It is a very proud achievement for domestic researchers to publish papers at conferences. Of course, most of them are participants.

After signing in, Professor Liu Chenglin went to find an old friend to reminisce about the past.

As for Chen Xu and his group, they can speak English anyway, so they don’t worry that they will get lost.

The professors went out to play by themselves, and Chen Xu followed a doctoral student named Shen Yongchang to go shopping near the conference center.

Shen Yongchang is in his 30s, 1.8 meters tall and thin, wearing a pair of black-framed glasses, with very white skin and vigorous body hair.

On the way, his eyes kept lingering on the breasts and buttocks of American girls dressed in cool clothes.

Then he said to Chen Xu with a stuttering voice: "Look at the figure of the women in the United States, and then compare the women in China, which are like washboards."

Looking at the amazingly curved busts and hips on the road, Chen Xu smashed his mouth and said, "It's not good to be too big."

Shen Yongchang glanced at him, "Are you a first man?"

Chen Xu: “………”

Shen Yongchang's eyes widened and stopped and asked, "No way? Is that true?"

Chen Xu touched his nose and said dryly, "It's not exactly."

"The fifth girl doesn't count." Shen Yongchang said, and then said strangely: "You haven't had a girlfriend?"

Chen Xu: "Uh... I don't have it strictly."

Shen Yongchang said with a funny look: "What about that not strict?"

Chen Xu: "I have had a few secret crushes."

Shen Yongchang burst into laughter when he heard this, "No wonder so many teachers say that you are a computer genius, and even speak so humorously."

Chen Xu smiled and said nothing.

Shen Yongchang waved to a taxi and said, "Let's go, I'll take you around. This is my third time in Boston. There are many fun things in this city..."

...

On Wednesday morning of May 22, Kyoto time, Jiandun Technology Co., Ltd. launched a new product called "faialliquefationrepair".

This is a paid product. First, it is a registered user of Jiandun, and then you can only use this product if you recharge a membership fee of 88 yuan.

As Meng Xianghe expected, once the "anti-PS technology" was launched, it immediately caused a sensation across the Internet.

Within 24 hours, I logged in to the hot search list of Xinlang, Soohu, Pengpai, Headline News, Tengxun, Baidu, and the first-class websites.

But this news is definitely a catastrophic thing for domestic Internet companies.

Or to put it more seriously, swords and shields are destroying everyone's job.

There are one domestic Internet company, and which one does not have a live broadcast platform or shares?

Especially with the beating handwriting and Tengxun, these two companies are the most involved in live broadcasts.

Needless to say, Tengxun is the largest shareholder of Pole Fish, with a shareholding ratio of more than 40%. He also holds 31.5% of the shares of Kuya Live through Lineni estmentlimited, and has 39.4% of the voting rights.

The company to which the website belongs quickly reacted and immediately activated the emergency mechanism to remove relevant hot searches.

But it's too late.

Anti-PS technology is still like a spark, becoming the hottest topic in domestic website forums and chat groups.

At the same time, the number of members on the backstage of Jiandun has also soared wildly with the popularity of the topic.

As of 10 a.m. on the 23rd, the number of members exceeded 100,000, and the total sales volume was close to 9 million yuan.

Of course, this amount of money is simply not worth mentioning compared to the losses of those live broadcast platforms.

On the day the product was released, a large number of live broadcast videos began to appear online. Those so-called Internet celebrities who were usually charming after beauty were simply terrible after they faded away their halo.

Spit and curses are everywhere.

Even the live broadcast platform was scolded so much that it was bloody.

Affected by this, the stock prices of several leading live broadcast platforms listed on Nasdaq also fell in response, with a warning line of more than 10% in 24 hours, of which the decline reached 17%, the parent company Joy Times (yy) fell by 13%, and Pole Fish 11%.

The financial world is a group of the most sensitive people. They noticed this unusual event almost at the first time, and then almost sold Adobe's stock.

Adobe's stock price fell by more than 5 percentage points that day, and its market value evaporated by US$6.5 billion in one day.

The reason why the decline is faster than that in March is because it is a panic selling by retail investors, but investment institutions clearly know that adobe is just testing the market's reaction. Whether or not it will apply business behavior depends entirely on themselves, so investment institutions still maintain confidence in them.

But this time it is different. The technology is in the hands of others and has been used commercially. If you want others to give up, adobe needs to pay a high price. These investment institutions are not optimistic about the stock price trend of adobe in the future.

Just as the live broadcast platform and the anchor were wailing, Meng Xianghe and Chen Xu also received calls from all parties respectively.

Two of the major Internet companies made acquisition offers to Jiandun.

After being rejected, I hope that the sword and shield could hide the technology and were willing to give high losses for this, 300 million or 500 million.

In addition, Chen Xu also received a call from Lei Jun.

Lei Jun was once the largest shareholder of yy, holding 23.8%, but later he gradually reduced his holdings and mortgaged part of them. In fact, only about 3% of the shares were left, and even the voting rights were entrusted to the founder Li Xuelin.

Lei Jun called and was able to do his original intention, but he was just entrusted by a friend to pass on a message.

Lei Jun reported a high technical buyout fee for his friend, and the price was calculated in billions of dollars.

Even Chen Xu, who thought he had a strong resistance to money, couldn't help but take a breath.

As long as he nods, this high technical buyout fee will be transferred to his personal account within three days.

Chen Xu hesitated and struggled for a long time.

In the end, I refused.

He likes money, but he hopes that technology can bring some beautiful changes to the world.

What's more, domestic netizens have already called this technology "the greatest technology of 2019", and he cannot disappoint them for money.

Just when anti-PS technology was at a high level in China's topics, Chen Xu, who was originally just here to attend the conference, was invited to the big ceremony of the Hines Conference Center and delivered a speech on the CX language.

Unlike the Kyoto conference, Chen Xu's speech once again caused a huge sensation.

There was a cloud of applause at the scene.

Chen Xu bowed three times before finally leaving the stage.

After the meeting, countless experts and professors surrounded him and asked questions about issues related to the CX language.

At 8:30 p.m. local time in the 24th local time in the United States, Chen Xu, who was in the hotel room, received a call from Adobe and proposed to purchase facial liquefaction repair technology.

Of course, there is no need to ask.

The next morning, Chen Xu was still sleeping, and the phone rang at the bedside table again.

After I picked it up, I found out that I was the director of the marketing operations department of Adobe Asia Pacific. I came to him to interview him, and the person was in the hotel lobby.

There was no choice but to wash up and go downstairs.

In the hotel restaurant, Chen Xu once again explicitly rejected the other party.

The director of Adobe Asia Pacific, sitting opposite Chen Xu, is a 40-year-old Korean woman named Kim Chae-young. She may have been annoyed by Chen Xu's stern refusal and said, "Mr. Chen, please consider it again. There is an old Chinese saying that makes you rich by being kind. If you insist on doing this, all the consequences will be borne by you."

Chen Xu frowned and said, "What do you mean?"

Kim Chae-young said with her head raised, "It's not interesting. I just want to remind Mr. Chen that adobe is a company with a size of over 100 billion US dollars. If you insist on doing it alone, something bad is likely to happen."

Chen Xu changed color when he heard this. He stood up suddenly, grabbed the porcelain cup on the table and threw it hard on the ground, making a loud "bang" sound, "Do you think I'm scared? If you have the ability, please move me and try it."

People in the restaurant looked over.

Jin Chae-young's face was also very ugly, and she stood up and said, "I'm going to say that. As for how Mr. Chen chooses, that's your own business. Say goodbye!"

"I'll tell you now that faithliquefationrepair will never be sold!"

Professor Liu Chenglin arrived soon after hearing this.
