428 New Trillionaires
It is hard to say what kind of mood many bigwigs feel when they receive Ning Wei's email.
The enthusiastic words invite everyone to come to China in August to participate in the Olympic feast, just as nothing happens now, which will make many people feel at a loss.
I don’t mind going to China again in August.
In fact, if we can reach a good result, it would be fine if we traveled a few more trips to China.
It's just that the real problem must be solved.
No one knows better than these Internet tycoons how destructive the emotions of the group of mobs they say are stirred up. But this group's understanding of the world often comes from repeated brainwashing of information.
And now they have an opponent.
When an artificial intelligence program takes advantage of the situation and pushes the concept that big data algorithms violate privacy to the mob in their eyes, many companies can no longer hold on.
In just a few days, lawyers have been calling on the public to register in almost every city in the fifty states in the United States to launch class action lawsuits against major Internet manufacturers such as Facebook, Google, Twitter, Microsoft, Tiktop, etc.
Perhaps these people are not very interested in the Chinese system, but when many people learn that as long as they unite, win the lawsuit, or force these companies with a market value of trillions to settle out of court, perhaps each of them has thousands of dollars in their accounts, many people still show great enthusiasm.
The legal department of large companies is indeed very strong, but when anger among ordinary people begins to gather, and even large-scale marches are beginning to break out around the country to address the issue of privacy violations, it is hard to say that this is a purely legal issue.
So even if it is just a show, these large Internet high-tech companies also have to open up their energy and start recording various videos, trying to explain that they collect information simply to better serve users...
Some companies have even begun to compromise, such as Facebook, while the official efforts to explain, announced that it will provide options in the future, allowing users to choose whether to allow Facebook to read certain sensitive information to determine user habits and push related content to it...
These measures reflect that Wall Street is probably the unprecedented panic of Internet concept stocks.
Google, Facebook, Twitter, Microsoft, and even Amazing, Uber, have one counted one, and it generally fell by more than 30% in just one week. During the transaction time, it was either circuit breakered or on the road to circuit breaker...
The plunge in the high-cap stock market has led to the entire technology sector being almost out of reach. The first time short sellers make money makes them unimaginable.
About three days ago, no one believed it. A public opinion war that was not considered a public opinion war would make these Internet giants frustrated. Of course, it is not just high-tech stocks such as the United States, but also the Internet companies related to China are not much better.
The impact of this wave of publicity in the New Hongmeng system is indeed powerful and has been successfully popular. Now it is no longer the small circle of black technology enthusiasts to discuss the New Hongmeng system, but it is directly enlarged into the financial circle and even entered into the hot social news.
After all, there is no trace of human manipulation in this big drop, and it is completely a black swan incident. No one expected that the "studying for learning" incident that year has been so many years. In the most important Internet propaganda position, these companies that are highly anticipated can still be so thrilled in preventing artificial intelligence content intrusion.
Of course, these people are probably used to it, because it is not the first time Ning Wei has caused trouble for everyone.
Perhaps because of the fact that the stock price has fallen so much, Facebook has become vague. In order to ensure user experience and account security, its entire series of products will be implemented in real-name registration, and the requirements are extremely strict. New users must not only submit real and valid documents, but also need to undergo facial authentication. The promises are fulfilled simultaneously, and users will be provided with optional options, not recording data that users think is privacy.
The scope of impact after this upgrade is targeted at global customers.
If legal identity documents and facial authentication are not provided, Facebook products will no longer be allowed.
At the same time, if the account applied for within five years and has not yet undergone any real-name authentication, the service will be restricted. Specifically, this batch of accounts can browse content normally, but upload and publish any content is not allowed. The content uploaded and published before will be temporarily banned and will be released one after another after manual review.
How to say it, this version is still very effective.
To be honest, March is really a model of law-abiding. Although there are still ways to break through these restrictions, it is not. So the effect is perfect. All kinds of fancy advertisements in the New Hongmeng system are at least reducing at a visible speed on Facebook, and many three-no small accounts have also automatically begun to fall into silence...
Although Facebook has been very restrained, for example, even if an account that has been applied for more than five years has not been submitted for certification, the capital market will soon give feedback on the future of advertising revenue due to compromise on data collection, and the strict implementation of the real-name system may cause user growth stagnation or even user regression.
Although the announcement was released after the market closure on Friday afternoon and was left for two days to let the market accept the news, on Monday, Facebook's parent company's stock still suffered the strongest Waterloo in history, with a circuit breaker at the opening, and then created the largest single-day decline in Facebook's history throughout the day, falling 33% in a day, falling from 161.86 at the close of Friday to 108.42.
After the market closed that day, the U.S. market regulator, which could not stand it, issued an emergency order, issued a 30-day ban on short selling in the technology sector. Well, seeing this ban, large Internet companies finally got brave.
On Monday, Google and other large and small companies announced that it would implement real-name authentication for new users, which will affect new user registration and users within five years. Unlike Facebook, Google has not made up its mind to completely give up the collection of big data, but only reiterated in its statement that protecting user privacy is a key task in the near future...
When these news reached China the next day, netizens once again realized what it means to live for a long time...
Let me put it this way, it is hard to say that there is a product that can make a number of world-class technology companies just for advertising, and it can also temporarily ban the market from shorting in this sector. In addition, it can also make these large companies change their business strategies. You must know that many of the world's relatively backward technology areas are not easy to ensure the implementation of real-name authentication...
This feast caused by the plunge in the capital market was also named the New Hongmeng System advertising incident of the Butterfly's Wings by Chinese netizens.
After all, when the New Hongmeng Laboratory released the system and started to provide downloads, no one would have thought that it would affect a group of mainstream technology stocks in the world. It still had some impact on Ning Wei, who was at the center of the storm.
Many influential financial bloggers have given him the title of the world's largest short seller in technology stocks.
It’s not that Ning Wei has used huge amounts of money to short, but people have made it very clear. Perhaps as long as Ning Wei and those related to Ning Wei do anything, it can always trigger a series of black swan times and is extremely unfriendly to the stock market.
Really, this cannot be considered slander, because what people say makes sense, it seems that this person is not as good as the majority of technology stocks when he is alive.
For example, Ning Wei didn't know what kind of storm he had, so he went to Weibo to question the Metaverse is bragging, and it is impossible to achieve it now. This Weibo post that anyone can complain about was a sensation, but it caused a sensation because of his identity at that time.
While attracting countless abuses, it actually affected the elites on Wall Street, which directly led to a sharp drop in technology stocks. That's fine, who would have thought that things in this world were just such a coincidence. Penang, which was not in the earthquake zone at all that afternoon, suddenly broke out in a tsunami, affecting chip packaging. So, in addition to a few chip-producing-related companies, the stock prices of those Internet concepts that rely on chips plummeted...
The turbulence algorithm was exposed to use a special anti-theft system, causing the stock prices of a number of Internet equipment companies to plummet.
Forget it, followed by the so-called public beta of artificial intelligence and then quarreled with Musk again. At that time, dozens of Weibo posts blasted Musk, causing Tesla's stock to plummet. Then, verify the proposal of silicon-on-body heterogeneous chip technology and the 5G chip supported by new technology have made a number of chip technology companies call it "Wolf" and Intel and AMD are the first to fall...
In March of that year, I went to the Internet to visit the Internet and advised everyone to study hard and not cause trouble. While the social companies were extremely embarrassed, they also fell...
Now, if you advertise in the New Hongmeng system, you can create another black swan event...
Really, there is already a little bit of anger between man and god.
After all, for most financial people who play US stocks, they still hope that the stock will rise to make money. Although US stocks have a short selling mechanism, the risk of short selling is obviously relatively large. The simplest, theoretically speaking, the price of stocks can be up without a cap, but there is a price lower limit, which is 0.
Even if a stock with $100 falls to 0, it will only make $100 short, but if it rises to $300, it will lose $200, and if it rises to $500, it will lose $400. Therefore, short sellers may be forced to death in extreme market environments.
So many people have suffered heavy losses, which of course has also made Ning Wei criticized by many people. After all, this time it has affected not only those technology companies on the US stock market. In fact, the stock prices of some Internet companies in China have also been quite miserable recently, such as Baidu, Little Ribaba, and Penguin...
But no one doubts that Ning Wei made money in this big drop. In many people's understanding, Ning Wei is probably really just to promote his own operating system. Although this gameplay is a bit too much, there is actually nothing to criticize. After all, it is a business behavior, and it is understandable as a tutor to support his students' research products.
Not to mention that the essence of modern Internet business is actually a crazy test of the bottom line of human nature. Whether it is stepping on competitors or promoting oneself, it is understandable. Therefore, the ban on Ning Wei by these financial bloggers is probably a kind of complaint after helplessness. It has no practical significance, but it feels comfortable to vomit.
Ning Wei thinks so too...
Until that afternoon, he was doing research quietly and did not call on the computer screen. The screen of the notebook next to him suddenly lit up, and the kitten ran out of the screen by himself: "Meow...master..."
This movement shocked Ning Wei.
Because no matter whether it is a normal or a special situation, as an artificial intelligence assistant, March kitten will not suddenly run out in silence.
Unless something particularly serious happens.
Of course, such important things generally won't happen.
Or maybe the intelligence of the March kitten has further evolved and has truly possessed some human consciousness.
To be honest, it is quite scary to be willing to do either of the above two things...
"What's wrong?" Ning Wei asked with a very serious expression on his face.
"Meow...Master, the goal you set for me about five years ago has been achieved today."
Well, this answer made Ning Wei feel a little more relieved. It would be better if there was a big problem. This should be the third situation. If you give orders to March in advance or set tasks for it, then when the time comes, the cute little guy will jump out to respond.
Many of the most basic programs also have similar functions, such as the alarm clock on the phone...
The only problem is that even though Ning Wei had a super memory, he didn't remember what goal he set for March at that time.
"Ahem...what's the goal achieved?"
"Meow... I made $200 billion with the initial funds you gave me."
After hearing this, Ning Wei blinked at the screen...
The kitten on the screen also blinked at Ning Wei...
Ning Wei was a little confused. To be honest, he had not paid attention to the stock and futures accounts managed in March for several years. Anyway, this little guy just played, and he had not touched the cordon in recent years. He had almost forgotten this...
"That, March, have I set this goal for you before?"
"Meow... Of course, there are some. At that time, you set a stop-fall line for me. If the initial funds you gave me fall to the alert value, you must report it to you. Then I asked you how much you want to earn in this game, and you said 200 billion US dollars."
Ning Wei touched her chin, it seemed like this was the case...
However, Ning Wei is actually not very sensitive to this currency unit...
"Okay, 200 billion US dollars, that...what is the exchange rate of the US dollar against China Coin now."
"Meow...the latest exchange rate is 1 US dollar to 5.62 yuan Huaxia currency."
Ning Wei was silent...
In other words, this cat spent more than a thousand times more than five years to increase the billion Chinese coins he had thrown to this little guy, or he inexplicably and unconsciously entered the trillion club...
