Reboot 2003

Chapter 318 099: Value Investment (Three-in-One) (including the previous chapter)

098: There is a way

I don’t know what she was up to, but she insisted that Chen Qin talk about it later. Although it wasn’t surprising, after all, Chen Qin didn’t buy this thing himself. Lou Xuemei might have told her about it before.

But I still didn’t understand what she meant by ‘delivering it later’. Just wait and see what kind of medicine this little drama queen sells in the gourd later. Lou Xuemei seemed to understand something, and smiled without saying anything.

And Xu Lingling didn't keep him waiting for long - after eating, Xu Lingling went to the master bedroom of the Chen family familiarly, closed the door and changed clothes.

Chen Qin returned to his bedroom, but the engineer hadn't arrived yet.

I had a vague premonition of something, so I waited in my bedroom and opened the newly purchased Dell laptop to take a look.

Hearing the door knock, the grandmother who was cleaning up the dishes happened to bump into her: "Oh~ Lingling, she's so beautiful!"

"Hey, looks good!"

Then the girl ran to Chen Qin's bedroom in a hurry and closed the door behind her back. Chen Qin took a look and saw that he had just changed clothes - he was wearing the long-sleeved shirt and jeans when he came, but now he was wearing a light blue dress.

Of course, it doesn't necessarily look much better. After all, I studied dance since I was a child. The daily clothes before looked more mature, but this dress doesn't look very everyday - the waist of the skirt looks a little higher, and the upper body looks more mature. It is a cut-out off-the-shoulder and low-cut style, and the collarbone under the neck is clearly visible.

She turned around and smiled at Chen Qin. When she walked over, Chen Qin grabbed the clothes tag behind her that had not been removed.

"Did you just buy a new one?"

"Let go, let go!"

Xu Lingling pulled Chen Qin's hand away, then sat down on Chen Qin's bed, looking at Chen Qin who was sitting on the chair seriously.

"What are you looking at?"

Xu Lingling said with a straight face: "Don't you want to give me something too?"

"Oh."

Only then did Chen Qin realize that it was just for a sense of ceremony?

Fortunately, the stuff had been found just now. Chen Qin opened the jewelry box on the table next to him and took out the rustic gold necklace.

Looking back, Xu Lingling seemed to be ready - she held the bed with both hands, lowered her eyes, and sat there quietly, like a doll.

Next, it seemed that Chen Qin should hold the two ends of the necklace with both hands, go around her round and smooth shoulders, and put the necklace on her chest from between the black hair and the white neck.

But Chen Qin still wanted to tease her.

He put the necklace around the back of her neck with his hands, buckled it in front of her, then turned it 180 degrees and put it on.

Xu Lingling was so angry that she jumped up and wanted to slap him: "No, this doesn't count..."

But she was held down by Chen Qin. She looked up and saw Chen Qin looking at her from a very close distance. Xu Lingling's face turned red.

"It's almost winter. When did you buy the clothes?"

Xu Lingling was angry again: "I, I am happy!"

"But it looks good."

"You say it!"

Xu Lingling twisted her body uncomfortably, her breathing became more rapid, and her small breasts undulated slightly. Chen Qin originally just wanted to tease her, but the distance was so close that he couldn't hold back for a while.

Putting her hands behind her tentatively, Xu Lingling boldly hugged him with her backhand. I don't know who exerted the strength, but the two of them rolled down on the bed together.

There are obviously grandma and mom outside the door. I feel more and more hopeful about these days, but I haven’t warmed up yet. There is a voice from the computer——

Ding dong.

Although it came from the earphones, because the sound was too obvious, Xu Lingling sat up again: "Someone has sent you a message."

Then he hurriedly trimmed his hair, hit Chen Qin's thigh with his fist, and whispered: "Bad guy!"

She got up and went out with a blushing face, but she probably didn't realize anything was wrong. When she went out, she happened to encounter Lou Xuemei carrying vegetable water to water the flowers. She didn't know if she had burned her head just now, but she still... He started talking nonsense on the spot: "Mom, look at my necklace!"

Lou Xuemei outside the door was also a little surprised, and quickly put the basin aside, but she didn't come in to trouble Chen Qin. Chen Qin felt a little guilty, but anyway, he quickly sat back on his chair and touched the place where he had just rubbed his face. It was still there now. A little itchy.

When I put on the headphones, I was a little distracted. I thought the engineer who was sending the message was the engineer I had called. What was he going to say?

So he cleared his throat and said, "I'm from the apass team, right? Let's talk about it next time if there's anything else."

The person on the other side was a little confused about the situation: "Huh? Mr. Chen, I belong to Manjun."

"What's wrong with Manjun?"

"No, Mr. Ji asked me to tell you..."

Chen Qin was even more confused: "Ji Xianglin? What happened to the shadow bank?"

"No, Mr. Chen, it is an important piece of material. Mr. Ji insists that we show it to you..."

Ji Xianglin is not one of Galaxy Software's own, so when something comes up, he has to go to Chen Qin himself. This is a common practice that is not found elsewhere, and of course it means that this matter may not be very important.

Anyway, Chen Qin agreed, and as expected, a document with an attachment came to his mailbox. At first glance, it turned out to be just news.

At this time, Chen Qin muttered and complained about making a fuss, originally wanting to leave it alone.

But as I glanced around, I seemed to see something very strange——

"US Security Agency holds data security drill"

Today, the U.S. government invited experts from more than a dozen countries to conduct a data security simulation attack and defense battle 'Cyber ​​Storm III' at a cost of 600 million...

As the United States is gradually increasing its reliance on Internet communication services, this exercise focused on data security issues and hacker attack and defense simulations...

Data security includes new local security standards and local data security issues...

The imaginary enemy of the attack and defense simulation station is a hacker organization that owns a large-scale high-performance server cluster and launches attacks through the Internet...

It seemed to be Che Luan's words, but Chen Qin glanced at it and looked at it carefully again.

After thinking about it carefully, he suddenly frowned.

Of course, he didn't react at this time - Xu Lingling went out for a while and came back. She almost calmed down. After sitting back, she started poking Chen Qin's arm again and asked him: "What are you looking at?"

"I'm watching the news." Chen Qin didn't know when he became serious. "It's news about... about ourselves."

Yes, news about yourself.

Having large-scale high-performance server clusters and the international Internet will threaten local data security, which is related to software security regulations.

Isn't this who he is?

Of course, the other party probably didn't want to hide it. After reading the analysis of several subscribed financial media, it seemed that they all thought so. It was a "hint" that everyone knew, and they didn't say what they were going to do to him.

However, his Galaxy Software, a small private company, is now somehow involved in this kind of thing... so forget it.

The most critical thing is the time point that appears now...

After taking a breath of air-conditioning, his brain was much clearer. Chen Qin immediately knew what he should do. He looked for idle people in the channel to collect information, and called the public relations person to come back immediately to talk. Although nothing happened yet, it still happened after all. Gotta think of a way.

That's it... He didn't go anywhere that afternoon, he didn't go to the studio, and he didn't go shopping again——

There was no movement for a while while collecting information, but finally the engineer who came back from lunch came online.

They happened to be there, and Chen Qin had a serious chat with them - as the most basic underlying infrastructure of cloud services, Amazon has recently developed virtualization technology, but they have not made any move yet. Therefore, Chen Qin is very concerned. Urging them to speed up the progress.

But I didn't expect that they seemed to have similar news - "Mr. Chen, have you heard of Sun's virtual container technology?"

When the engineer first came here, he was quite angry. Chen Qin actually didn't understand this. This was the scope of memory technology.

But after hearing about this concept briefly, he said: "I know the principle."

The engineer had no doubts and immediately said to him: "With the virtualization technology we have been researching recently, it is not difficult for us to catch up with Amazon. However, in addition to dividing the server performance according to needs, we also need to virtualize the underlying hardware into a unified The interface is provided to users, and with the help of the Silicon Valley team, our solution is no worse than theirs."

But he added: "But when it comes to automatically selling the performance of virtual packaging, this step is the most serious loss of computing power..."

“So how did Amazon do it?”

"As I said just now, Amazon is not much better than us, but they did not comply with the security standards of Melician's automation software and used some external interfaces with security risks." The engineer said, "But Amazon is not afraid of trouble, and we can't help it. Take out the semi-finished products and use them.”

"ok, I get it."

Chen Qin finally understood what was going on. These engineers were probably just complaining about problems with his technical solution, but the problem probably did arise - cloud computing is related to enterprise information security, and it is the same thing as data security. Maybe for him, the biggest purpose of doing this is not to make money from the Meilijian government, but now that the other party misunderstands that he has such a plan, it is not entirely wrong to him...

Just then Xu Lingling came in from outside: "Chen Qin, is there something wrong with the game you made?"

"No, it's the virtualization technology of cloud computing..."

Chen Qin answered her at that time, and then thought about telling her what he could do. She didn't understand this either... so he didn't say more.

And just like that, by the evening of that day, all kinds of information were finally collected. Chen Qin originally wanted to talk to those executives, but by this time, he almost had an idea in his mind.

So I looked through it myself, and I understood what happened after just a quick look at it——

In short...it's not because of anything else, of course it's not accidental, and it's certainly not because of the trade war.

Of course, a trade war will happen sooner or later. As a reborn person, Chen Qin has been mentally prepared for this.

But he doesn’t think that a trade war will break out in 2008. The whole world is now in a mess by Wall Street. Logically speaking, now should not be the time to do such a thing; and although Chen Qin himself just did it A wave of shorts, but he has a good reputation and represents the vital interests of investors. He should be considered very wealthy, but he really shouldn't be treated like this.

The problem actually seems to arise from the recent election——

It’s a long story, that was already two years ago.

At that time, in order to help Waibo.com grab a piece of tiger skin to promote its banner, and in order to make his own hedge fund famous, in short, Chen Qin had some contacts with some old faces in the future; later, his plan was completed , and no longer had any contact with each other.

However, after all, this is something that happens around everyone and is closely related to everyone's daily life. In this general election, the Osmanthus cabinet took advantage of the power of the Internet on the one hand, and indeed represented the interests of the Internet on the other hand-in the past and online The launch of the 'Safe Harbor Act', which is closely related to the media, has traces of the behind-the-scenes operations of Google and the Panchayat Party. Chen Qin himself can be regarded as an eyewitness of that era, and he is even responsible for the current Google video website Getay.

Later, although Waibo.com mainly focused on Flash games, it also had an unclear relationship with the Internet to a certain extent, that is, the righteous advocacy of media freedom.

Until recently, the two parties had no relationship at all, but before Goldman Sachs went bankrupt, it was so difficult to resist being criticized by the Democratic Party, so it had to bring out his "old friend"...

To him, the incident itself was just an episode, but from the perspective of the outside world, the two parties actually seemed to have never been separated. Chen Qin didn't realize it until he saw a few paragraphs of Republican speeches on related programs. Talk show - they will say that the Democratic Party is showing off like Britney on the Internet video website every day. At this time, they will also mention that the running mate is promoting his economic theory on a small website that plays Texas Hold'em poker.

Then sometimes when it comes to data security, it is said that the Danzo Party’s stance of advocating troop withdrawal made Melician passive in the Iraq War. Naturally, they will also mention by the way that their partners are the hidden opponents of Melician’s data security.

Of course, a small voice cannot create power, but once the voices gather, it seems to become something very dangerous. Although I have long known that the media is such a terrifying social tool, I did not expect that this 'butterfly effect' would blow up so quickly. Come to your own head...

Sure enough, this old guy was trapped!

Now that things have happened, I naturally know what is going on - of course the situation is not that serious now, it is just put on the gridiron by an unknown force. If you are lucky, probably nothing will happen. .

But after all, something had to be done... Anyway, Chen Qin immediately asked someone to start writing a public relations draft, and then went around looking for media and pens to help him speak.

In this way, I got busy with some vague things. I made an appointment to go to the studio the next day, but I probably didn't have time.

However, he just happened to think of A Yue. Because of the sudden iron fist risk on the other side of the ocean, Chen Qin went around the studio and assigned a small task to A Yue...

"Ah Yue." People from the studio came back one after another. Chen Qin pulled her to the corner and asked her, "Has your company received any information from Nasdaq recently related to data security and investment restrictions?" New request?”

U.S. stock companies are regulated by Nasdaq. It should be more convenient to get some gossip from her family. Moreover, this question is relatively abstract and difficult to understand if left to others, but Ayue understood it as soon as she heard it:

"Did I tell you about the new technology solution that day?"

"Yes, in fact, the Galaxy side is planning to acquire some foreign assets recently, but now the rumors are suddenly a bit hard to understand... So has your company received any rumors from Nasdaq?"

A Yue went to ask, but found nothing. It seemed that the listed companies there didn't know any more inside information than he did.

So Chen Qin went to talk to his old acquaintances at Google. Ever since the Kaitian system had version differences, the two parties basically had no direct contact, but now that I think about it, they are just like grasshoppers on the same line. Anyway, You can still think of a way...

Just like that, this day has passed, and the National Day Golden Week is almost over.

On the last day, early in the morning, Ji Xianglin, who was still in Meijian, sent a message asking Chen Qin if he wanted him to go to the Dishui Party to find a solution. He also said that if necessary, he could still apply for the Dishui Party. A financial consultant, this is probably a good plan and a solution to the problem.

However, Chen Qin did not give him an answer right away, saying that he would wait for two days before speaking.

There were other things to do next, but Xu Lingling was going home that day - the remaining two days were quite pleasant without Lao Chen taking her around to visit scenic spots, but there was only a seven-day holiday for the National Day, and Lao Chen borrowed Got a car to see someone off.

Chen Qin went to see him off this time. Before leaving, Xu Lingling said to him: "If you are busy, you don't have to go."

Then he said seriously: "I will also help you find a solution to the problem you mentioned the day before yesterday."

Busy and busy, there is always this little time. Chen Qin still didn't care about her promise. Anyway, he sent her to the airport and sent her into the waiting hall. Lao Chen also felt a little lost again. On the way back, he said to Chen Qin Qin said: "National Day is over. You should pay more attention to her after you go back. Also, I heard that you two are writing a new song. You should also be more active. You are so far apart now, but you still need to have a career together. , so that we can always keep in touch!”

He almost forgot about it. When school started, Xu Lingling said she wanted to write a song, but later she refused to let Chen Qinwen copy it. She had to write it by herself. As a result, there was no movement for more than a month. Now she has forgotten about it in Java Island.

And then... After returning home, Chen Qin went into his bedroom again. Lao Chen saw that he had no idea what he was busy with and had no interest, so the couple went back to Hanzhang together the next day.

Chen Qin was still doing his business. Meili Jian was not doing well. After the holiday, the authorities' security drills were going on normally. His Galaxy Software quickly made some statements and found some mouthpieces. In short, it said that there was nothing wrong with my house. He has bad intentions and respects and cooperates with the management requirements of various markets, but he feels that no one is taking care of him. It is like being placed on a stage with an overly bright spotlight. He only knows that there are people in the audience pointing fingers, but because of a cultural barrier, Circle, completely unaware of the reaction from the other side.

But on the first day of vacation, I returned to the classroom.

A golden week has passed, but life still has to go on.

I arrived at the classroom this morning. When I passed by the podium, I looked at the eye chart. It seemed that there was no change... In short, it was probably good news.

When she returned to her seat, Ah Yue was already there, but she had been waiting there early in the morning.

Watching Chen Qin return to her seat, before Chen Qin could ask her what was wrong, she hurriedly said: "Chen Qin, we have a solution!"

"Is there any solution?"

"It's about your company's technical issue with cloud computing!" A Yue whispered to him, "I asked Teacher Tan next door. He will be leaving tomorrow, but he happens to know about it. We can ask him after school. Ask him!"
-

Here are today’s updates-——

"what?"

Chen Qin was a little confused at this time, thinking that Teacher Tan was the programmer left by Ali next door. It is said that he is leaving recently and lost a lot of money in the stock market.

Of course the most important question is not this.

A-Yue was talking about yesterday's events early in the morning. It was said that Song Ziyun and the others had just come back. When they were bragging, Teacher Tan came to join in the fun. She asked a few more questions at the dinner table and found that Teacher Tan happened to understand the application of virtualization technology and should be able to solve the problem. The problems Chen can solve in these two days...

My company is poaching people from all over Silicon Valley, recruiting old masters from DEC and TI, and has written out virtual containers. Do you need you to recruit someone from the upstairs of the Internet cafe who just lost money in the stock market? Now that Alibaba and I are business friends, it would be disrespectful to poach someone else's people casually.

However, Teacher Tan left today, so Chen Qin still made a call on the spot, and Teacher Tan came in person - when he came, he had already packed his travel bag, and it was said that the hotel had checked out; and Chen Qin had not finished school yet. , the school has been conducting strict inspections recently, so I chatted with him through the school fence——

"Mr. Tan, I heard you said you knew virtualization technology?"

When asking questions like this, Chen Qin himself felt that something was not right. He felt like a middle school student who had just watched a movie and asked a familiar adult if he had the Palm of the Tathagata, and it turned out that the other person really did.

Teacher Tan said through the fence: "I can do it." He probably thought that Chen Qin was a middle school student and didn't understand this, so he didn't explain further.

"Are you sure?" After Chen Qin asked, he also felt that there was something wrong with this question. He thought about how the HR people he knew before worked, and asked, "Do you have any experience in related work? Let me compare with Galaxy Software. Well, they seem to be in urgent need of some technical personnel like this. If you are interested, I can let them know by the way."

Teacher Tan lost money in the stock market. In order to increase his salary, he naturally did not pay so much attention. He said to Xiao Chen across the school guardrail: "I worked in a software company before entering the industry, and also started my own business. I have been working in the IT industry for a long time." More than ten years."

Chen Qin said: "To be honest, what is urgently needed now is bottom-level architects, talents who have a basic understanding of memory management and experience in the call layer. I remember you said before that your business was in streaming media. Although this also involves to memory management, but it’s still somewhat different. Do you have any experience related to this?”

Teacher Tan became troubled: "It's true that there is no work, but I have written open source software before, is that okay?"

Chen Qin was confused: "What software?"

"Linux." Teacher Tan said, "I have rewritten LVS, and now I occasionally help write the kernel for Linux."

"Wait a minute, do you have a surname?"

"Tan Wensong, have you heard of it?"

Chen Qin said coquettishly: "Didn't you tell me earlier? The galaxy has been recruiting embedded talents for a long time. Why don't you just say hello..."

Teacher Tan also said awkwardly: "Isn't there no money to be made from writing open source? I went to Yanjing to start a business many years ago. After the failure, my wife asked someone for help and found me a class at Alibaba. Although Galaxy Software's salary is high , but I think Ali has finally settled down, and their boss directly gave me p7..."

"If you hadn't told me earlier, the galaxy would have just given you level 10."

That's okay, Chen Qin is fine.

The non-competition agreement is probably indeed a problem, but the only obstacle for engineers to change jobs is that if there are too many job changes on their resume, Party A will suspect that they are habitual offenders. Therefore, job-hopping is not a problem that can be solved by paying two to three thousand yuan more, but if it really If you want to poach someone, there are always more solutions than problems, especially when the other party is in urgent need of money.

In short, one problem has been solved. The memory management and containerization of cloud services will not be a big problem in the future. After all, NASA will build an open source framework in two years, and the relevant open source tools will become more mature. By then, startups will be able to do cloud computing at will. , but not yet. To lead the times, we need to spend huge sums of money on the bottom layer. However, although the memory management at the bottom level is profound, many people understand it. On the contrary, the automated calling system is more troublesome. In theory, it is similar to the advertising bidding system, but in fact it is not that good. Yes, the related technology is actually relatively close to the memory management of the operating system.

But you can't go to Microsoft to recruit people, and Kaitian system uses the Linux kernel. If Ah Yue hadn't asked more, I probably wouldn't have found him here.

"How about it, let me tell you?"

After returning home, Ah Yue seemed a little proud. Chen Qin naturally had nothing to say and took a candy from his pocket to reward her. Ah Yue ate it deliciously, but Chen Qin vaguely felt that something was wrong.

Of course, he still didn't think too clearly at the moment, but just when school was over that afternoon, Xu Lingling called again.

She flew back to Xiangjiang yesterday. Everything was normal after returning home, and her teacher also had to give her extra classes.

But on the phone, Xu Lingling said: "Chen Qin, Chen Qin, you seem to be inquiring about US stocks?"

Chen Qin had some vague premonitions at this time: "Do you also have news?"

"What 'also'?"

Chen Qin asked: "Nothing, what do you know?"

"I asked my teacher." Xu Lingling said, "My teacher is a consultant for Yamaha and knows many people in their company."

"Oh...and then what?"

"Then, they said that recently many consortiums in Japan are preparing to buy the bottom together." Xu Lingling said on the phone, "Wait a minute, he also talked about the specific investment plan, and I even wrote down notes."

"Well, take your time."

"It is said that Nomura is preparing to acquire some businesses of Goldman Sachs, Mizuho Bank is preparing to invest in Merrill Lynch, and Mitsubishi Hitachi is preparing to acquire a stake in Morgan Stanley."

"This..." Chen Qin nodded. He had actually heard this before, but Xu Lingling didn't seem to mean that. "It should be a very common investment action, but why is it called 'together'?"

Xu Lingling said: "It is said that there is a government-level task, so the families discussed it and planned to buy the bottom separately, and then make an official announcement together."

Chen Qin understood: "I understand."

From this point of view, this news is indeed very important. After all, everyone knows that you can buy the bottom now, but jumping out to buy the bottom so early and jumping out together is very telling - in fact, if nothing unexpected happens in the financial crisis, it will It will not bottom out until March next year. Everyone knows that the first shot is the first. Even Buffett has not made a move yet. Jumping out now should probably represent some kind of political trend at the macroeconomic level, and What Xu Lingling said should indeed be the most powerful evidence for this speculation...

"How is it? Is it helpful? This is all I know. If there are no other questions, I will continue the class."

Xu Lingling went back quickly, and Chen Qin hung up the phone. He hadn't yet digested the meaning of the news, but suddenly he knew where he had "felt something wrong" just now——

Think about it carefully, yesterday when we were talking about cloud service encountering difficulties, wasn't Xu Lingling next to us? Then we asked Ayue about Nasdaq. Ayue said she didn't know at the time, so why did she end up on the other side?

I always feel that I have overlooked some important issues. It's all Lao Chen's fault. If he didn't drag her around here and there all day long, Xu Lingling would probably have to go to the studio with him every day during this holiday. There is nothing to hide. Well……

But the phone call had already been hung up. When I looked back, I saw that Song Ziyun and Guo Yang had just come out having a fight, and A Yue seemed to have gone to the student union to do something.

Forget it, it was probably just a coincidence. I was so nervous a few days ago, maybe I accidentally let it slip?

So Chen Qin didn't ask any more questions, and went back to contact the company. While temporarily placing Mr. Tan into the cloud service team, he also made some inquiries with the Japanese side through Sanyo Electromechanical's relationship. Two days later, both parties found out that There is almost good news - it is said that Teacher Tan quickly proposed a plan after joining the job. I don’t know how the current progress is, but those engineers who were pressed too hard by the company suddenly changed their minds and said that they would be able to enter the testing phase before the end of the month. , as for the companies Xu Lingling mentioned, they soon announced their plans to invest in US stocks. Meili Jian's 700 billion has not yet disappeared. They have already taken hundreds of billions of yen to invest in the US bank stocks that are at the center of the crisis... …

These things seemed to have nothing to do with the current predicament, but in Chen Qin's eyes, the situation seemed to be becoming clearer.

"Old Chen, two days ago you told me to wait for two days. Is there any result?"

On October 10th, Ji Xianglin seemed to be a little impatient. He and Mr. Li spent the whole night waiting for news from him on the channel. The situation was not very clear in the previous two days, and he wanted to simply go and mess around with the Banzuo Party, but If you become a financial advisor to Meili Jian, you won't be able to return to China and open a shadow bank.

Chen Qin already had the answer: "No, you don't need to worry about our galaxy. Our situation is not that dangerous. Just do what you should do."

Mr. Li is also here. Mr. Li is usually gentle and elegant, but today he is very angry. He also said: "I recently watched the network security drill of Meili Jian. It was quite large-scale. It not only targeted your company, but also targeted China's communications providers. It's so ambitious." It’s really hateful.”

We haven't seen each other for a while. Mr. Li's complexion has improved a lot. Chen Qin will not be angry at this. "Forget it, just be careful with them. We are in the service industry after all. If a customer has delusions of harm, It is also our duty to dispel doubts."

Mr. Li asked: "Then how can this dispel doubts? All data centers are inevitably in the hands of others. Their own companies are doing the same business. Why should they attack us just because we are a Chinese company?"

Chen Qindao: "Don't worry about this. We can continue to promote automation and set industry standards. Unless they don't use it in the future, we will be as safe as other service providers with the same standard."

Mr. Li was curious: "Isn't it already automated?"

"Just like advertising services, cloud services mean that everything is operated on the cloud. Not only can customers' instances be directly deployed remotely, but customers can also change the size of the virtual machine at any time and pay as much as they need for performance and storage. There is no need for manual operation at all..."

Only then did Mr. Li understand: "Is there no artificial force at all?"

"Yes, there are, but they are only basic operation and maintenance personnel. Operations and maintenance cannot access the data and instances on the cloud. As for the data interface, they can monitor the gateway data by themselves."

And now Ji Xianglin also understood: "In this case, at least now those who say that cloud services have no data security guarantee should shut up."

But of course there are still problems. He hesitated: "But they still think that we will use these servers for hacking activities..."

Chen Qin said: "There's nothing we can do about it, but as long as they can't find fault with our business, they can argue as much as they like."

"What about investment? You seem to have invested in a lot of beautiful and strong technology companies. Now at this juncture..."

"Meilijian definitely hopes that more funds will flow back into the market," Chen Qin said firmly. "Now that investor confidence is so low, they are eager for more people to invest."

"But if what you want to buy involves core technologies that are related to their national defense and security, what should we do if the Republicans jump out and use the topic as an excuse?"

Chen Qindao: "It doesn't matter. Have you heard that Japanese consortiums are collectively buying Wall Street at the bottom recently?"

"I heard about it." Ji Xianglin said, "It seems that they are planning to buy a large amount of bank assets on Wall Street... With nine billion US dollars, they can become the majority shareholder of Morgan Stanley. It is really hard to imagine how they dare to do this business. of."

Mr. Li was confused: "Isn't this a good thing?"

"Of course it's not a good thing." Ji Xianglin said, "This is what Japan did in the 1980s. Later, it was suppressed by the political power of Meili Jian, and the bargain-hunting stuff was spit out with profits."

Li Laomoran, he has probably heard of this matter. Although it is not necessarily reasonable to compare the two things together, it is still too difficult for a business of this magnitude not to be related to politics; Xiao Chen He has previously made 20 billion through finance. If he is an investor on Wall Street, of course there is nothing wrong with it. Instead, it can probably be spread as a story to boost investment confidence; but if his positioning is always an investor on the Chinese side, No matter how the money is disposed of, it may affect the company on the other side.

However, Chen Qin said: "As far as I know, this matter should not only be their intention, but the intention of their government."

Ji Xianglin didn't understand what he wanted to express for a while: "Are you saying that Meili Jian asked those companies to pay for it?"

"Meilijian and their own government are not two different families." Chen Qin said, "They themselves encourage companies to buy lows. I think this is very different from companies relying on their own will to buy lows."

Mr. Li has not yet reacted: "Then what does this have to do with us?"

"They want Japanese companies to take the lead in the charge and boost investor confidence, and they will not hesitate to hand over the country's economic lifeline to others. The same reason can be compared to us." Ji Xianglin said, "For example, our ICBC and China Construction Bank want to If foreigners take over, then who will care about the ownership of several mechanical and electrical plants?"

Li Laoyi thought so, and Chen Qin added: "After all, we are all East Asians. The Japanese are buying the Bank of America at the bottom. We can buy the Nasdaq companies at the bottom. If they want to punish us, they are targeting the Japanese. I want to see it." Look how bold the Republicans are."

"Oh……"

Now both of them knew what Xiao Chen was planning. The little tricks Meili Jian had been doing to them in the past few days seemed quite serious, but after he sorted it out, it seemed that it wasn't really anything big. The problem.

Hearing this, Ji Xianglin laughed for some reason: "Does this mean that this matter has no impact? Fortunately, Mr. Li and I have been secretly discussing it for a long time."

Chen Qin was curious: "What are we discussing?"

"Mr. Li said that Meilijian is engaged in data security, and our country's data security must also be improved." Ji Xianglin said, "Especially the operating system. In the past, it cost the government a lot of money because of data security. Now we have to do something about it." Once it is done, it can be regarded as having its own results on another level.”

Chen Qin didn't know what he was laughing at: "So is there a government order? Although I didn't like government orders before, but if there is spare time, I think they can do it."

"No." Mr. Li said, "I recently told Xiao Yu that they are preparing to pull a list of domestic systems. In fact, they are mainly targeting Kaitian. There will be some information security review procedures..."

Chen Qin didn't understand for a while: "So can ours pass?"

Ji Xianglin explained: "What they mean is to exempt your system from inspection, and then in turn disgust the Americans. Of course, this should also be beneficial. If mobile phone manufacturers want to enter our Chinese market in the future, then they will use your Kaitian system You don’t need to go through information security review, and you can also enjoy some tax exemption policies from customs in the future, and then you can put small shoes on Americans and disgust them to death.”

"this."

Chen Qin was a little stunned for a moment, but then he realized that he had actually thought about this.

He had been thinking about it half a year ago, how convenient it would be if he directly used policy power to promote the Kaitian System, but he didn't expect that half a year later, he had suffered a lot from various higher-level powers, and now he has suffered a lot. Being targeted by people from across the ocean.

But this kind of power that he could only think about before has naturally fallen into his hands——

If necessary, it would still be helpful.

For a product, if you want to defeat a competitor with quality, you only need to be strong enough. But if you want the competitor to completely withdraw, it depends on whether the opponent can cooperate enough.

Think about the rapid rise of Android in history. Although the momentum is strong enough, it has not reached the level of Zenith Star Technology in technology. Later, when I asked related companies, third-party teams ranging from Microsoft to China, they all regretted that if we Even if the original system is not popular, it would be great if we can continue to do it.

But the reason why they didn’t persist was probably due to ‘technical intimidation’, which meant that competitors would mistakenly think that the barriers were huge and directly give up additional investment. This would create a situation where one company was the only one.

Historically, Android's completion of technical intimidation was not only a victory of technical capabilities and ecology, but also the goodwill accumulated by Google in various fields. Although I am also working hard now, if there is an iron fist to help Xiaozao, the help will probably have some benefits...

Just thinking of this, Chen Qin sighed: "No need for now, at least we won't take the initiative to promote this matter."

Mr. Li explained: "There is no need for us to do anything..."

"Of course I support trade protection, but Kaitian is not safe at all. There is no such thing as security exemption for open source systems." Chen Qin said, "If we must make domestic products, it is better to let those domestic software vendors create their own distributions and bring them to the market. Let’s compete, and if other countries follow our example of industrial protection, our system will suffer because we are the leader after all.”

Mr. Li hesitated and said: "Well, actually, I mainly think that Meili Jian is doing this, and we need to take some countermeasures..."

"Our technology is not strong yet. Now global trade is beneficial to us or the government. I can only say that we don't need to do this." Chen Qindao, "To be honest, I recently contacted the people at Google Acquaintances are already planning to make some political donations. Lao Ji’s idea before was indeed correct. Although there is no need to grovel when encountering trouble, we should do as the Romans do. As long as they don’t give up on opening up, we will not give up on opening up either.”

Ji Xianglin didn't say anything, but Mr. Li sighed: "Well, I hope Meilijian is really as open-minded as they say."

"At least nothing will happen during this term. Although globalization is good, it will always continue to be closed in the future." Chen Qin said, "So let's take advantage of this term of the Aurobindo cabinet to do more of our own things, which can be regarded as doing something for the future. get ready."

"I understand, you're right." Ji Xianglin said, "Then have you decided what to buy? I've been thinking about it these days. In order to avoid taxes and cater to Meili Jian's policies, I think your galaxy can actually Be bolder and acquire some companies with more core technologies. Even if the international environment will further deteriorate in the future, it should be more helpful to us..."

The pursuit of cutting-edge technology is indeed the best solution that can be thought of at the moment. It is useless to spend 10 billion, and there are not many opportunities to casually acquire technology companies in the United States.

Even at this point in the conversation, Chen Qin remembered what he had said to A Yue that day.

The answer that came to mind at the time was SpaceX and Nvidia. Although it was a bit ahead of its time and felt a bit unreliable at the time, looking back now, if Mr. Li can help speak within the system and he is willing to pay for it, buying a SpaceX should not be an option. Impossible, as for Nvidia - even financial investment is not impossible, equity is also a right, and there are already a lot of manpower at its disposal.

And if we look for the next best thing, the answer to the industry trends in the next ten years is not limited to these two. The Internet, o2o, medicine and energy not only have many goals, but in fact there is no need to limit our sights to Meilijian.

However... bargain hunting itself is a relatively colloquial concept. In fact, the logic of bargain hunting is, of course, not 'it will definitely rise if it falls', but that something valuable has fallen below its actual value line. In this case Naturally, it is more suitable to invest. This logic is called 'value investment'.

As for "value investing"... it is probably relatively unfamiliar to Chinese investors, and naturally there will be some distance that creates a beautiful filter. Whenever it is mentioned, Buffett will be hyped up, as if as long as it is value investing, then all of a sudden When combined with some pragmatic spirit, it becomes a model of deserving money.

But in fact, value investing can be divided into a narrow sense and a broad sense. Value investing in the broad sense is actually similar to what stock investors say. Since Buffett invested in See's Candy, he already has a family background and focuses on stable growth. In fact, The above is still the same as hedging risks and controlling future expectations.

As for value investing in the narrow and strict sense, it actually does not consider ‘future expectations’.

When considering value, you must focus strictly on the present. If you think the actual price of an asset is lower than its market price, then buy it without hesitation. If the price drops after buying, double the position, and continue to double if it drops again. , until the position reaches the bottom or it rises to its expected price...

Because of this investment style that normal people cannot understand and control, value investors are actually born short-sellers. Since they invest in the value of assets, falling prices is a good thing. Even if the prices continue to fall after they buy it, it doesn’t matter. , they wish the company would go bankrupt on the spot and liquidate their valuable assets.

So even if you are a reborn person, from the perspective of value investment, those previous investment goals seem a bit unsatisfactory...

SpaceX just exploded three times in a row, but in the final analysis, it’s not their rocket.

NVIDIA's stock price has plummeted, but this was originally due to poor sales of its own graphics cards.

Even if their future prospects are probably already mapped out in the minds of the founders...

But it is a pity that the founder's brain is not the company's asset. It is okay to be a venture capitalist, but it is still not appropriate to directly acquire assets.

Thinking of this, Chen Qin began to ponder again, but Ji Xianglin was asking him and Galaxy Software. After all, even he himself didn't know what kind of governance structure Galaxy Software had now. As for the answer, of course, he didn't need to know it right away. Give it out.

But in the past 'technical exchange channel', although Ji Xianglin was not asking him, Mr. Li was listening and almost out of habit came up with an idea: "How about buying a chip factory?"
