God-level Trader of Rebirth

Chapter 24 Keeping Up With Soros

This person is the internationally renowned financial giant, the head of Quantum Fund.

George Soros.

After long-term observation analysis and preparation.

He believes that the time to make big money by shorting the Thai baht has come.
Meanwhile, Xiangjiang.

After a few days of research and observation, Chen Weidong also decided to follow in the footsteps of Quantum Fund, first lurking in the market, waiting for the right time, and then launching a fatal blow.

According to the memory of the trader at that time.

For this battle, Quantum Fund has gradually established short-selling positions in Thailand six months in advance.

That is, [-], around October.

It's now.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chen Weidong urgently contacted Lin Zeju and asked him to help him exchange all the more than 40 billion Hong Kong dollars in his hands into US dollars.

According to the exchange rate of this era, more than 40 billion Hong Kong dollars eventually became 5 million U.S. dollars.

Followed by.

Chen Weidong continued to remit these U.S. dollars to the Thai bank account prepared in advance, and began to short sell the Thai stock market.

With the blessing of leverage, the capital of 5 million US dollars was magnified 7 times.

A large number of empty orders appeared in the market silently.
During Chen Weidong's deployment in Thailand, Song Yunjiang also called several times to tell him that the software had been optimized.

Wait until the funds are all arranged.

Chen Weidong was free now, and took Li Xier to the computer company to check the progress of software optimization.

As soon as he entered the door, Song Yunjiang rushed to greet him.

Many programmers from mainland China nodded their heads when they saw Chen Weidong, but they did not leave their slots.

Seeing this, Chen Weidong was very satisfied.

It seems that Song Yunjiang has arranged the company in an orderly manner during this period, and nothing has happened.

"Mr. Chen, take a look at our software."

After speaking, Song Yunjiang asked two employees to demonstrate the instant messaging software.

I saw two programmers sitting in front of their computers, sending text messages to each other.

Chen Weidong estimated that after the message was sent, the delay was about 4 seconds before the other party could receive the message.

Although it is not as good as the delay of less than 2 seconds in later generations, in 1996, this was already very powerful.

Chen Weidong praised them a few words, and said with a smile: "I'm not too demanding for the first-generation version. Is the current function only sending and receiving messages?"

"Mr. Chen, of course not, the function also allows online transfer of files smaller than 30MB." Song Yunjiang immediately explained.

Immediately afterwards, Song Yunjiang asked two programmers to transfer files again.

An office document of about 200KB was sent from one computer to another in less than ten seconds.

Due to insufficient network bandwidth, the speed is relatively slow.

However, with the development of the network, there will be substantial improvements.

For now, this software is completely sufficient.

The rest is how to promote it.

Thinking of this, Chen Weidong turned to Song Yunjiang and said, "What do you think this software should be called?"

Song Yunjiang thought for a while and said, "How about calling it "IC"? That is "instant communication", the abbreviation of instant communication."

"IC?."

Chen Weidong read it several times and found it a bit awkward.

shook his head.

He added, "It might as well be called CC, the abbreviation of "constant communication" in English, which means: continuous communication."

Song Yunjiang's eyes lit up, and he said happily, "Mr. Chen, this name is not bad."

"Oh, let's make do with it." Chen Weidong actually wanted to call it "QQ", but it must be fucking copyright infringement.

Although in this time and space, QQ will not be born until 1999, but Chen Weidong always feels that if this is done, is it a bit too sorry for Xiaoma?

"It's better to call it TT, it's easier than yours." Seeing the hesitation of the two, Li Xi'er couldn't help interjecting.

"TT?"

"I'm still playing tricks, Tan Tan."

When Chen Weidong thought of a certain social software in later generations, he suddenly felt that it was too vulgar, and he definitely couldn't call it this.

After all, the positioning of this software is to chat at any time, daily communication, and office needs.

If you are engaged in ***, although it may be faster to accumulate customers in the early stage, it will definitely affect the upper limit of subsequent development.

After all, no one would use social software of this nature as a carrier of communication with family and friends.

You can't go astray.

Therefore, under Chen Weidong's insistence, the final name of the software is called "CC", and the original icon of this software is a planet pattern.

Chen Weidong thought it was too ugly.

Considering the three aspects of design, positioning and brand, as well as comprehensive factors such as the characteristics of Chinese social culture and national moral values.

Chen Weidong drew a panda similar to the pattern of "ice squatting" in later generations on the spot, as the startup icon of this software.

The honest and cute image of the panda immediately won the unanimous approval of the whole company.

After confirming these things, Chen Weidong, Song Yunjiang and others discussed the issue of marketing in the conference room.

He has only one request, and that is to cover the market as quickly as possible at all costs.

Talking about promotion, Song Yunjiang asked doubtfully, "Mr. Chen, how much are we going to charge for this software?"

"Charge?" Chen Weidong was taken aback for a moment, he hadn't really considered this issue. In the image, penguins are always free.

"It's completely free." Chen Weidong thought for a while and said.

"Ah, how can it be profitable for free?" Song Yunjiang was taken aback. If it can't be developed, it must be for charity.

Now in the market, any computer software is charged. For example, the genuine WPS, a mere word processing software, costs 500 yuan a set.

"Hehe, you may not understand now, but you will know in the future, the free ones are the most expensive." Chen Weidong explained earnestly.

He asked Song Yunjiang to launch the first-generation version of CC first, and then fully occupy the market.

At that time, user stickiness will be cultivated, and then some "personalized needs" will be introduced along the way.

For example, CC show, colorful drills, super memberships, etc., there will definitely be people willing to pay for them.

Especially those young people, how could they resist the temptation of these comparisons.

Chen Weidong laughed when he thought of the functions of cheating money in later generations.

After Song Yunjiang listened to Chen Weidong's explanation, he was overwhelmed with admiration.

It turns out that the boss has a plan, but I am still worried about not being able to make a profit. It is too stupid. No wonder others are the boss, and I am just writing code.

Even Li Xi'er, who was on the side, looked at Chen Weidong with sparkling eyes.

However, what she saw was something deeper than Song Yunjiang.

When others sell software, they only make money once, but Chen Weidong intends to make people pay continuously and make continuous profits.

Even if it is only a few yuan at a time, under the trickle, it can converge into a big river over time.

"Call Lin Zeju and ask him to come to the company to have a look."

Chen Weidong said to Li Xier.
