Chapter 28

New York, streets of Manhattan.

It is only a third of a mile long and 11 meters wide.

The streets are narrow and short.

It is only 7 blocks from Broadway to East River, but it is known as "the financial center of America".

Morgan Consortium, Rockefeller Petroleum, Goldman Sachs Group and DuPont Consortium, etc. Countless financial institutions resounding all over the world are stationed here.

The headquarters of the "Quantum Fund" is also established here.

At the beginning, it was not called this name, but "Double Eagle Fund".

Until 1979, Soros changed the name of his company again and officially named Quantum Corporation.

The word "quantum" is chosen because of Heisenberg's uncertainty principle of quantum mechanics.

This law is consistent with Soros' view of financial markets.

The Uncertainty Law holds that in quantum mechanics, it is impossible to accurately describe the motion of atomic particles.

But Soros believes that the market is always in a state of uncertainty and constant volatility, but it is possible to make money through obvious discounting and betting against unpredictable factors.

In order to avoid supervision, Quantum Fund did not register with the US Securities and Exchange Commission, but chose to register in a small island called Curacao, and all investors were foreign investors.

In less than 30 years of operation, Quantum Fund has grown into a giant fund with a total asset value of nearly US$60 billion.

Although they only have assets of US$60 billion, when needed, they can use leveraged financing to achieve an investment effect equivalent to tens of billions or even hundreds of billions of funds.

Therefore, Quantum Fund is an important force in the international financial market.

In the retro light-transmitting office, Soros is listening to the advice of his trader.

"George, the Bank of Thailand's hole cards have been leaked, and we are ready to launch a fatal blow." Trader Jones said excitedly.

They have sniped the pound, the lira, without exception, with great success.

The currency crisis has allowed them to obtain hundreds of millions of dollars in huge profits, and the Thai baht must be no exception this time.

"Oh, what do you think their foreign exchange reserves are?" Soros said calmly, leaning back on his chair.

"$300 billion, I think it should be." Jones licked his lips and replied.

"It's about the same as I guessed, but this time, we only made a profit of one billion dollars, which is far from my expected profit." Soros said with some dissatisfaction.

Because in his view, risks and benefits do not match, this is undoubtedly a failed action.

Jones spread his hands and regretted: "Our funds are mainly placed in the exchange rate market. On the other hand, the stock market has fallen so much. I knew that we should focus on shorting the stock market."

"The market is changing at any time, and you can't swallow all the gains." Soros comforted him in turn.

Recently, some kind of strange feeling has always been welling up in the depths of his heart.

It seemed that his every move was being watched by a pair of eyes, like a prey being targeted by a hunter.

This made him feel very uneasy.

He also once suspected that it was the personnel inside the fund, but the fact was not that they had never left their posts.

Thinking of this, his head hurts
I'm no longer in the mood to discuss the next plan
Xiangjiang, in a building in Central.

Sitting at the front of the conference room, Chen Weidong asked, "How many users of "CC" have you reached now?"

"Mr. Chen, for Xiangjiang, there are already more than 50 registered users." Song Yunjiang replied happily.

In recent months, they have frantically inserted advertisements in major shopping malls, subway lines, and even spent huge sums of money on TV stations.

Therefore, the number of users during this period has also risen linearly.

He personally thinks that this result is already very good, basically [-]% of Xiangjiang's computers have installed this software.

Who knows, Chen Weidong shook his head when he heard this, and said, "It's not enough. The entire population of Xiangjiang is more than 500 million, and you've only reached one-fifth of it. It's too far away."

Other software may sell 3 sets, and you can have a celebration banquet, but the instant messaging software developed by Chen Weidong and the others is completely free.

More than four months have passed, and there are only more than 50 registered users. How can this satisfy him?

"What is the average online time of users?" Chen Weidong asked again.

"About 3.6 hours." Song Yunjiang replied.

"Why is it so short?" Chen Weidong was puzzled. He remembered that the average online time of penguins in his previous life was more than 6 hours. Why did he do so poorly?
"Mr. Chen, those users went offline shortly after chatting. Many people feel that there is no need to hang up all the time, otherwise the electricity and Internet fees will be a lot of money." Song Yunjiang explained cautiously.

"Okay." Chen Weidong was a little speechless. In this era, Internet access is dial-up through telephone lines, and it is billed according to the duration, not a monthly subscription.

What's even more deceitful is that when surfing the Internet, it will occupy the telephone line at home, resulting in the inability to make calls.

Therefore, many people dare not surf the Internet for a long time, for fear of missing some calls.

In this era, users who can stay online for a long time are definitely "local tyrants" with good family conditions.

However, Chen Weidong believes that this is not the reason why the online time cannot be mentioned.

He clearly remembered how popular the Penguin chat room was back then, with countless people hanging on 24 hours a day even if they weren't chatting.

"It seems that the temptation of this software is not strong enough at present, and the attraction is not enough." Chen Weidong secretly thought.

"Mr. Chen, we are considering adding a grade mark to "CC" recently, which may play a role." Seeing Chen Weidong in a daze, Song Yunjiang said again.

"Oh? You mean level?" Chen Weidong's eyes lit up.

"Yes, as long as you spend more time online, your experience will increase, and your account level will also increase accordingly." Song Yunjiang explained.

"This is not enough, you can add a cartoon character image next to the chat box, and then design different clothing, hairstyles, and outfits, and provide users with free matching options"

Chen Weidong spoke out all his thoughts, roughly referring to the operation mode of later generations of penguins.

It is impossible for him to come to the company for inspections and guidance all the time.

Because the company will have many projects in the future.

Song Yunjiang nodded again and again, and hurriedly asked everyone in the conference room to write it down.

"Also, I don't care what method you use, this software must be installed on the computer of every Xiangjiang user." Thinking of this, Chen Weidong directly ordered to die.

In the age of the Internet's barbaric growth, it is necessary to quickly seize the market in order to gain a foothold in the future.

"Okay, Mr. Chen." Song Yunjiang was taken aback. It seemed that the company was busy again during this time.

"By the way, does the company have customer service now?" Chen Weidong suddenly thought of something, and then asked.

"Yes, there are two new college students who are responsible for dealing with users' problems." Song Yunjiang replied.

"Well, don't underestimate this aspect. Customer service is a company's postcard, which is related to the company's image." Chen Weidong nodded and said meaningfully.

He doesn't want his company to be like a certain giant in the future. Some things can't be found by customer service. After finally finding it, the attitude is extremely arrogant.
