Chapter 410: TikTok Faces Difficulties, and the Battle for the Bank Settlement System to Establish Its Authority

Although Chen Xing doesn't like to be too ostentatious, and the license plate number 01 is not his cup of tea, Wang Fang and others have spoken out for this reason, and he is too embarrassed to refuse.

"Since it is your wish, I will accept it without wasting your time. Let's get together next time."

"See you next time."

"See you next time."

After a few polite remarks, Wang Fang also left quickly with two colleagues.

After watching the three people leave, Chen Xing returned to the Tianzihao box.

As soon as he entered the door, he looked at Dong Shaopeng on the side, handed out the license plate envelope and said: "Take this back to the company, wait for Pilot 001 to be launched, find a limited edition version and put the plate on it."

"Okay Mr. Chen."

Dong Shaopeng took the license plate with both hands.

He also had a sharp eye and knew that there was something in Chen Xing's words, so he quickly said goodbye: "Mr. Chen, Mr. Zhang, Academician Qin, I will go back to the company first. If you have any instructions, you can call me at any time."

"Well, walk slowly."

"I won't give it away."

Zhang Ming and the other two nodded slightly.

Dong Shaopeng didn't hesitate for a moment. After a few brief remarks, he walked straight out of the box and closed the door.

"Clang-"

Seeing the box door closed, Chen Xing moved to the seat between Zhang Ming and Qin Long and sat down again.

Zhang Ming saw that there were no "outsiders" in the box. He turned sideways, looked at Chen Xing and said, "Is it time we opened the skylight and had a chat?"

"you say."

Chen Xing nodded slightly.

In addition to witnessing the first foreign exchange settlement of the GIANT PANDA bank settlement system and discussing the northern automobile sales network with the leadership team of Imperial City, he also discussed TikTok's future strategy with Zhang Ming during his visit to Imperial City.

Qin Long picked up the wine glass and took a sip silently. He wanted to hear how these two people muddied the water.

"The problems that TikTok is encountering now are actually exactly the same as what Brother Ma has encountered before, that is, there are users, but there is no way to monetize it in time. My company is now under great pressure on expenses." Zhang Ming did not hide it and directly stated the dilemma he encountered.

After being pulled into the car by Chen Xing, Douyin and the international version of TikTok did gain a large number of users.

In China, we can also rely on our connections to attract relevant advertisers, or let game manufacturers invest in advertising to make money.

But after leaving the country, Zhang Ming had almost no connections. Those international big names and advertising resources were still on the sidelines, with no intention of investing.

The most serious problem is in Europe and the United States, where international brands and fashion resources are basically controlled by Jewish consortiums. If you want to seize food from the tiger's mouth, it can be summed up in four words as difficult as reaching the sky.

"Do you have a shortfall in funds?"

Chen Xing asked.

Compared with Zhang Ming's strategy of doing things steadily domestically first and then abroad in his previous life, he has indeed taken too big a step now.

The amount of money burned in just one day is already an astronomical amount.

However, this also has something to do with Chen Xingchuan. After all, the software is directly built into the mainboard chip of the Daolongxing Group’s mobile phone, which is equivalent to accelerating the process of TikTok.

"There are still 1.2 billion that can be burned, but I don't think it can last long. The users of Douyin and TikTok are growing too fast, and the operating costs of the service area are increasing exponentially every day."

Zhang Ming finally understood why Xiao Ma wanted to sell Penguin in the first place.

Because at that time, when Penguin QQ was just starting to take off, Xiao Ma was also faced with the problem of rapid user growth and high server operating costs.

If you only have users, you can't make a profit. Who wouldn't have a headache if you replaced them?

This is like bringing goods to a live broadcast room. People come in but no one places orders. It is useless to support 100,000+ viewers.

If it weren't for the fact that online game manufacturers were all targeting the emerging market of Dragon Kingdom and inadvertently pulled Penguin QQ's hand, maybe Xiao Ma's business empire would have become a reflection in the water.

"Your question..." Chen Xing fell into deep thought. With a huge number of users, it would be impossible without a quick way to monetize.

Suddenly, he thought of something and suggested: "Why don't we change the profit model? The advertising model alone is too simple to make money. Maybe we can add a live broadcast function."

"live streaming?"

Zhang Ming frowned.

When he founded Douyin, he didn't even think about the direction of a live broadcast platform, because there are a large number of live broadcast platforms at home and abroad, and he felt that he could not get a share of the pie.

"Yes, live broadcast." Chen Xing nodded and gave a future plan: "You can continue to spend money on subsidies now. If it is not enough, I can invest in it first. After the number of users reaches a certain scale, we can first Develop the live broadcast function, stabilize your own income, and then slowly talk about advertisers.”

"Would live streaming not be suitable? I am targeting short videos..."

Zhang Ming was a little hesitant.

The reason why Douyin and TikTok are so popular now is largely because of short videos and social attributes. He always felt something was wrong when they suddenly started live broadcasting.

"Live streaming is the fastest way to monetize, and the platform directly takes 50% of it. I'm not asking you to give up on the short video element, but to make profits first and then think about other things."

Chen Xing paused for half a second, then continued: "Otherwise, with so many users, if you continue to burn money to subsidize it, sooner or later you will lose money. Now, live broadcasting can also allow brands to see the data of the software, which can serve multiple purposes. "

"Then... let me try."

Zhang Ming responded weakly.

Ever since he boarded Chen Xing's "thief ship", there was no turning back.

The contents of the strategic layout plan he formulated, such as Douyin's profit model and TikTok's release time, have been disrupted. Now he can only continue to mess up according to Chen Xing's ideas, and maybe he can get back on track.

If he still can't make a profit, he will have to consider stopping burning money, or even shutting down TikTok's servers and focusing on running the national server.

"Yes." Chen Xing nodded slightly, and then continued: "As a domestic advertising manufacturer, I will try my best to help you get some resources. Do as I say, and you will definitely be right."

As a reborn person, he has seen through the profit-making method of Douyin short videos earlier than Zhang Ming, or even anyone else.

Advertising profit?

This is too simplistic.

Live broadcast platforms, live broadcast delivery, e-commerce platforms, video rewards, and paid skits, he can make Zhang Ming a lot of money by just using his tricks, but he can't tell them all now, so as not to arouse people's concerns. Have doubts.

When Zhang Ming heard that Chen Xing wanted to help pull resources, his eyes lit up and he picked up the wine glass on the table and said, "Mr. Chen is really my guiding beacon. My feelings for you and what I want to say are all in this glass." The wine is in it, I did it.”

The words fell.

He raised his head and drank it all in one gulp.

"It's all trivial. You can't make enough money. Compared to making money at home, I want to earn more foreign exchange back." Chen Xing said with a smile.

Disrupting the European and American markets cannot rely solely on Longxing Group’s mobile phones.

The reason why smartphones are fun is because they have a complete application ecosystem, so TikTok must not back down.

Even if he personally provides subsidies, Chen Xing will allocate funds to do it.

Qin Long, who was silently listening to the conversation between the two, also put down his wine glass. He already roughly knew Chen Xing's future strategic plan. Then, he interrupted the two of them and said:

"If you two are on the same page, it's time to talk about the security of our GIANT PANDA bank settlement system."

"Security Question?"

Chen Xing looked sideways at Qin Long.

"Well, it's a security issue." Qin Long nodded, his eyes flashed with fear and said: "This foreign exchange settlement with Mao Xiong, both parties have done enough to keep it confidential. It is impossible for the West to know, and then the settlement was successfully completed. "

"Since our GIANT PANDA bank settlement system is open to the whole world, it is impossible to say that both parties have done enough confidentiality work before each settlement. Moreover, you cannot keep secrets in trade settlements with some countries. The West will 100% know about it. Settlement time.”

Qin Long did not name which countries, but Chen Xing and Zhang Ming both guessed the list.

As he said, if the GIANT PANDA bank settlement system wants to replace the SWIFT bank settlement system, it must withstand the test of security.

It is estimated that a large number of countries around the world are waiting and waiting for the security test of the GIANT PANDA bank settlement system.

If it can be "hacked" into the account and the transaction amount is mistaken, I don't know who will bear the losses.

Of course.

The wrong transaction amount is small.

If transactions can be forced and the money in the national account disappears, the loss is really not something that an average country can bear.

"Those bugs may indeed be watching, but real gold is not afraid of fire. I still have confidence in the network engineers on my side." While expressing his position, Chen Xing continued: "Since the GIANT PANDA bank settlement system needs to be immediately Let’s have a fight.”

"With whom?"

Qin Long asked seriously.

The GIANT PANDA bank settlement system now really needs a battle to establish its authority, so that countries around the world can see its security.

Who do you settle with?

Who is the best candidate?

These are all things to think about.

"Batie."

Chen Xing answered without hesitation.

"Batie?"

"Batie?"

Not only Qin Long, but also Zhang Ming were stunned.

Now that there are countless pairs of eyes outside watching, choose Pakistan Railway, which is far behind in Internet security technology and even computers are not yet popular?

Is Chen Xing going to fight against the Jewish consortium’s hacker team on his own?

"There is no better choice than it." Chen Xing explained in a calm tone: "Just as Dean Qin said, what we are shaking now is the hegemony of the US dollar established by the Jewish consortium, which is their foundation."

"If nothing else, that group of people are trying their best to get specific information about our next trade settlement."

"Batie and we are brothers. We have been friends for almost 70 years. Although the Internet security technology in Pakistan is almost zero, it also provides us with the best environment to establish our authority. If our two families go well, "Settlement of foreign exchange means that small countries do not need to worry about the security of foreign exchange settlement. We will support everything."

"this is OK."

Zhang Ming was the first to speak in agreement.

Qin Long nodded slightly, but he had a doubt: "Why not choose Japan and South Korea? I thought you would choose them."

"You can choose, but it's not necessary because it's not the best choice."

Chen Xing replied calmly.

The Japanese and Korean markets are indeed about to settle foreign exchange, but in Chen Xing's view, these two companies have the possibility of defecting and there are uncertain risks, so Chen Xing excludes them.

"Then it's Batie?"

Qin Long asked again.

Chen Xing nodded, confirmed again and responded: "Well, it's Ba Tie."

"Okay." Qin Long nodded and picked up the wine glass on the table, but he didn't drink it. Instead, he put it down again. He seemed to remember something and continued to ask: "Do you need help? I still have some connections here."

"The Qihoo Technology group can't attack. Don't worry, Dean Qin. I won't fight a battle without confidence."

Chen Xing smiled faintly.

Then, he stood up, picked up a wine glass that he had never drunk, and then picked up the wine dispenser, filled himself, Zhang Ming and Qin Long with wine, and continued: "Let's have a drink together. As for the matter of TikTok and GIANT PANDA bank settlement system, we just wait for good news."

"Dang——"

The cups collided with each other, and the wine was drunk.

...

One night passed in a flash.

The next day.

In the morning.

As time approached nine o'clock, stock market experts such as Li Daxiao and Yang Delong posted articles, bullish on today's market.

Xiao Gang also did not remain silent, but it was not the CSRC that issued the document, but he contacted major securities firms to issue the document. The general meaning was that with the successful settlement of exchange for Longxing Group by the GIANT PANDA bank settlement system, Longguo's economy will be free from the influence of the US dollar hegemony system, and will go out of the independent market and turn upward.

The stockholders who woke up early after being woken up by the alarm clock were confused. They could understand that one securities firm issued a short essay, but more than a dozen of them issued short essays at the same time. Could it be that the bull market is coming?

On the Weibo information platform, the marketing accounts were even faster, and they wrote the manuscripts and published them in less than ten minutes.

"Shock! Before the market opened, 18 securities firms collectively issued articles to be bullish on the stock market. Has the turning point of Longguo's stock market arrived? 》

"1800 points is the bottom? Securities firms collectively issued articles to be bullish. Is the A-share bull market coming soon? Let the veteran analyze it for you slowly! 》

"Big Xiao smiled, life and death are unpredictable, Delong is bullish, crying for his parents, Zhang Zhang warned all stockholders to be careful of the trap of luring more! 》

《The Dragon Country Currency Index has skyrocketed, and A-shares have hope this year. Brothers, the bull market is back soon! 》

Countless financial marketing accounts are bombarding, and the titles are extremely attractive, making people want to click in to check.

In the hot search list, the entry "Bull market is back soon" is also at the top of the list, causing many "great gods" who are still delivering food to click in to check.

For a while.

It set off a huge wave again.

[Shanghai Stock Index Brother Liang]: "It's a bull market again. Don't lie to us. It's almost 4,000 points. I've been punished to stand all the way to 1,800 points. I can't stand it anymore. If it weren't for my ugly face, I would have wanted to sell my ass to make up for the losses."

[Super Spicy Noodles]: "I thought 2,700 points was the bottom, so I went all in. I didn't expect to bet halfway up the mountain and lie flat. I have no money. I don't plan to move anymore."

[Social Brother Wang]: "It is said that you can't go all in when buying stocks. You have to leave yourself 3,000 yuan. If you lose money, you can buy an electric car and run food delivery to make up for the losses and support yourself."

[Chusheng Yaoyang]: "Unless our A-share god Chen Xing comes out to see a rise, I dare not buy it. I lost 200,000 yuan during this period, and my girlfriend broke up with me."

With a 10% US dollar interest rate hike and continued outflow of foreign capital, investors in A-shares and Hong Kong stocks have experienced an unprecedented dark moment in half a year.

Losing 30% is considered a small loss, and there are many investors who lost 50%.

There are also many new investors who bought at the bottom, but ended up buying halfway up the mountain and finally lying flat. They are all waiting for opportunities.

According to the law of the stock market, after a long bear market, the bull market will quietly come. As long as your stock is not delisted, you may get your money back or even make a profit.

However...

Hope is a bit slim.

Under the spread of pessimism, many old investors are doing takeout and working.

But as time comes to 9:15, the time period for the call auction.

CITIC Securities, 10% increase.

Haitong Securities, 10% increase.

Industrial Securities, 10% increase.

Changjiang Securities, 10% increase.

Looking around, the securities sector collectively closed the board, even the securities stocks that were found to have insider trading were rising.

In an instant.

Investors were confused again.

"What the hell? Is the bull market really coming?"

"Collective violent pull?"

"The bull market is coming????"

"Will it be a trap to buy more?"

Due to the decline for half a year, stockholders are extremely cautious, but when they find that the automobile sector has also been violently pulled by 10%, stockholders finally wake up.

Those who deliver food directly go on strike on the spot and take out their mobile phones to trade.

While trading, they also do not forget to attack the customer's takeaways to keep their physical strength in the best condition.

Those who work in the company urgently go to the toilet to shit, making money and speculating in stocks at the same time.

Stockholders from all walks of life, who are deeply buried in A-shares, are chasing highs. The violent pull of 10% has made them realize that the national team has taken action!

Not only A-shares, but also Hong Kong stocks have begun an unprecedented counterattack. Both companies have begun to stabilize the stock market and put on a fighting offensive.

The Wall Street financial crocodiles who are still shorting Hong Kong stocks have smelled something unusual. In order to make a profit, they have also joined the buying army.

Because the borrowed stocks need to be repaid. If you don't buy now, the price will not be the same after the price goes up.

Only half an hour after the opening, the stock markets in both places ushered in a colorful and thunderous rise. Many timid investors were afraid of being trapped and hurriedly left the market with a small profit.

But with the national team leaving, how could this surge end so easily?

In one day, A shares surged 200 points, reaching 2,000 points.

In early trading the next day, Xiao Gang found someone to send the news that Longxing Group's Pilot 001 was about to be listed, and continued to make huge gains based on the good news.

The closing price the next day was 2197 points.

The closing price on the third day was 2311 points.

The fourth day closed at 2354 points.

When he realized that he could not pull the stock and there was a large amount of profit taking in the market, Xiao Gang did not pull hard. Instead, he asked the national team to control the stock market to move sideways and let technical investors enter the market.

After the market closed over the weekend, A-shares and Hong Kong stocks were trading sideways for several days, seemingly determining their direction.

Xiao Gang, who is sitting in the office of the head of the China Securities Regulatory Commission, is very satisfied with this increase. The trading volume, which was originally sluggish to 300 billion, has returned to 600 billion. This shows that investors feel that they can make money in the stock market again and dare to invest.

"One more good news, maybe it can hit 2,400 points."

Xiao Gang murmured to himself that he was now counting on Chen Xing to make some more noise, so that he would have a reason to step in to save the market again.

Just as he wished, the GIANT PANDA bank settlement system office building of Longke Academy was less than 10 minutes away from the foreign exchange settlement with Pakistan Railways.

Because it was a "battle to establish prestige" for the whole world to see, the foreign exchange settlement between Longxing Group and Pakistan Railway was not kept confidential this time, and it was also publicized to the world with great fanfare.

Faced with an unsolvable "conspiracy", the Jewish consortium had no choice but to take action.

Because if they do not prevent this settlement, it means that the GIANT PANDA bank settlement system has the same security as the SWIFT bank settlement system, and the monopoly of the SWIFT bank settlement system will be broken.

Once the monopoly of the SWIFT bank settlement system no longer exists, the US dollar will no longer be designated for oil trade, and the US dollar's international hegemony will also be affected.

"coming!"

Suddenly, an engineer reminded me.

"Someone is entering a large amount of invalid information in an attempt to interfere with the operation of the settlement system."

"Can I check the IP?"

Qin Long asked quickly.

"Let's try."

The operations team responsible for the GIANT PANDA bank settlement system started tracking, but when the IP address appeared, they all shook their heads and reported the situation: "Mao Xiong, Japan, South Korea, and even our own country are involved. This group of people did A very high-tech disguise.”

"Do you want to terminate the settlement?"

On the side of the Technical Department, an old Mediterranean man asked. He was none other than the Minister of Military and Civilian Communications Department of Pakistan Railways, Bullard.

When he heard that Chen Xing was going to settle exchanges with Bati, he came to the Imperial Capital two days in advance to see the professionalism of the GIANT PANDA bank settlement system team.

"No, the exchange will be settled on time."

Chen Xing responded calmly.

…

And on the other side.

The United States across the ocean.

A technology building in Silicon Valley.

Hundreds of top programmers are sitting in the office lobby, tapping the keyboard frantically, sending penetration, attack, and cracking instructions.

"The DDoS attack failed, no lagging was found, and it was unable to put a burden on the other party's server."

"SQL injection failed."

"XSS script attack failed."

"Decompilation failed and the source code and internal structure of the software could not be analyzed."

This group of top network engineers in Silicon Valley are sweating. Such high protection is completely impossible to crack. They can't even penetrate it.

The senior executives of the Jewish consortium and the Angsa consortium who were watching on the side frowned secretly. Is this level of protection really the result of the Longguo network engineers?

"Time is running out."

Davidic looked at the time and saw that there were less than two minutes left before the foreign exchange settlement between Pakistan Railway and Longguo. If they could not crack it and terminate this trade settlement, then the monopoly of the SWIFT bank settlement system would be broken.

Just as the elites of the Jewish and Angsa consortium were secretly frowning, suddenly, a network engineer shouted:

"It's penetrated!"

"Reading data!"

All of a sudden.

Everyone gathered around.

The code box on the computer screen is flashing data frantically, as if it is reading the core data of the GIANT PANDA bank settlement system.

Davidic smiled, and others in the Jewish Consortium and Angsa Consortium breathed a sigh of relief. Sure enough, there is no network wall in this world that their Silicon Valley network engineers cannot overcome.

Just when they were about to say something, the code reading on the screen suddenly stopped. In the blink of an eye, the monitor in front of them showed that it was restarting, and the computers of hundreds of other Silicon Valley network engineers were forcibly restarted.

"what happened?"

"Could it be reverse infiltration?"

"Forced restart?"

All the network engineers were exclaiming, looking up at each other, a little at a loss.

When the computer restarted, the desktop wallpaper was replaced with the Crow Death pattern, the files and command bar were all locked and could not be clicked, and the cooling fan of the computer host was overloaded. Perhaps, not only the fan, but the entire host They are all operating at overload!
