Rebirth 2003: Dominate the Tech World

On the way home, the breeze blew, and the sun poured down from the leaves on the roadside, forming all kinds of mottled light and shadow on the road.

Ye Yunzhou felt that the feeling now was really wonderful. Thinking about his rebirth before, under the heavy pressure of 996, where would he have the opportunity to enjoy such time? It was great to be reborn.

When he returned home, his mother was on the phone. Ye Yunzhou listened to a few words and found that it was his father who called.

“My son is back, you can talk to him.” Li Wanrong said and handed the phone to Ye Yunzhou.

“Mom, I’ll call him later. I’ll take a shower first. My body is sticky.” After Ye Yunzhou finished speaking, he dropped the stationery bag on the sofa and ran to the bathroom to take a shower.

Li Wanrong looked at her son’s figure and shook her head helplessly.

“Okay, don’t worry, my son should have done well in the exam. He will call you later and you can tell him in person.” Li Wanrong hung up her husband’s phone.

After taking a shower, Ye Yunzhou felt really refreshed.

“Hey, Dad, what’s up?”

“Well, did you do well in the college entrance examination?” Ye Zhenting asked.

“Don’t worry, it’s okay. By the way, Dad, how is the company going?” The company Ye Yunzhou was talking about was of course Cambrian Technology, and Hongxin Capital was still an empty shell.

“No big problem, it’s just that the sales department encountered some problems in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.” Ye Zhenting sighed and said.

“……”

It turned out that Ali also learned from eBay and signed an exclusive agreement with Ali’s merchants, which means that merchants cannot open stores on Jianbao.com after opening a store on Ali’s platform.

Especially after Cambrian launched the killer “Trading Treasure”, a large number of users poured into “Jianbao.com” and almost crashed the website. Fortunately, Ye Yunzhou had foresight and rented a large number of servers in advance.

Just two days after Trading Treasure went online, the number of card-bound users reached 30,000, and the transaction amount generated by Trading Treasure reached a terrifying 4 million yuan. You have to know that this was in 2003, and this growth rate was simply terrifying at that time.

The number of users of “Jiebao.com” has exceeded 150,000, and the number of sellers has exceeded 5,000. It has become the second largest C2C shopping website in Xiaguo after eBay, while Dangdang.com, which started out by selling books, can only rank third.

So Ali couldn’t sit still. First, he asked all merchants on the Ali platform to sign an exclusive agreement, and then he was ready to start a new round of financing. Ali wanted to fight a price war. Zhejiang Province is Ali’s base camp, and its influence is still very large. Many merchants are still optimistic about Ali for the time being, because it has capital endorsements such as Softbank, Goldman Sachs, and Fidelity. Therefore, Cambrian’s expansion in Zhejiang Province will inevitably encounter obstacles.

Of course, Cambrian is not afraid of Ali in a price war. Now Ye Yunzhou’s father still has more than 400 million cash flow on his card? Cambrian now has more cash flow than Ali. Ye Yunzhou is worried that Boss Ma will bring in capital such as Softbank. Cambrian now can’t compare with these capital crocodiles.

Since others have already made their move, Ye Yunzhou will not sit still and wait for death. You are using unfair competition methods and want to use capital to suppress me, so I can only use technology to sanction you.

Ye Yunzhou turned on his laptop.

“Jarvis, get to work.”

“Brother Zhou, what’s the matter?”

“Didn’t you write a Trojan virus called Ghost that specifically monitors smartphone systems? Now you use this virus to modify it to monitor domestic and international payment software. As long as there is a payment software other than Jiaoyibao, it will immediately make it freeze and delay. Can you do it?”

“Of course no problem.”

Ye Yunzhou authorized Jarvis to control his body. Jarvis controlled Ye Yunzhou’s body, called out the “Ghost” Trojan virus he had originally written, and typed on the keyboard with ten fingers at an astonishing speed. In less than two hours, a new Trojan virus named “Shining” by Ye Yunzhou was born.

It took Jarvis only two minutes to directly spread the entire “Shining” virus to the Blue Star Internet world.

After dinner, it was already half past nine. At this time, the weather in Lincheng suddenly changed. The stars in the sky were covered by heavy dark clouds, and only the occasional lightning illuminated the surrounding scenery.

Ye Yunzhou stood in front of the window, looking at the scene outside, with a premonition of a storm.

America, California, San Jose, PayPal headquarters, at this time, was already a scene of chaos.

Just now, the world’s largest online payment software suddenly experienced large-scale delays or payment failures. The director of the technical department and dozens of core technicians have not found the cause after two hours of inquiry.

“David, haven’t you found out what the reason is?” Meg asked.

PayPal is an online payment service provider headquartered in San Jose, California, USA. It was founded in December 1998. In 2002, eBay acquired PayPal for approximately $1.5 billion. In 2003, PayPal operated as a subsidiary of eBay. This acquisition greatly expanded PayPal’s user base because eBay buyers and sellers could seamlessly use PayPal for transactions.

At this time, PayPal has undisputedly become the global payment software overlord. eBay is now the overlord of e-commerce, especially in the C2C field, where it has an absolute market share. In the Xiaguo market, eBay has monopolized 80% of the market share in Xiaguo through the acquisition of Eachnet, which can be said to be in full swing.

Meg is the CEO of eBay at this time. Because PayPal has become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the company last year, Meg has management rights over PayPal. David is the technical director of PayPal at this time.

“Please give me two more hours. I believe our team can handle it.” David said to Meg firmly.

“David, I don’t care what method you use, you must handle it as soon as possible, otherwise once the stock market opens, you know the consequences, right?” Meg said to David very seriously.

David certainly knew that once the stock price fell due to technical problems, the first person to be torn apart by investors would be him, the technical director with a high annual salary, and of course Meg, as the CEO, could not escape.

“……”

At this time, not only PayPal, the online payment overlord, encountered problems, but all online payment software in the world, except for “Jiaoyibao”, encountered such transaction delays and transaction failures. The technical departments of major trading software companies were busy but had no solution.

As the US stock market opened at 9:30 in the morning, the entire eBay stock fell. The US stock market does not have a lunch break, and its trading hours are from 9:30 in the morning to 4:00 in the afternoon. By the end of the day, eBay’s stock had fallen by 20%.

“David, can’t you give me an explanation? More than ten hours have passed, and the cause of the failure has not been found.” Meg wanted to destroy David in front of her. This guy promised her that he would fix it in two hours, but it has been more than ten hours and he has not found the cause of the failure.

“President, this is not our team’s fault. Not only us, but other online payment software have problems. We suspect that they are attacked by organized hackers.” David said helplessly.

“Don’t always doubt, doubt, David, find out the problem and solve it, otherwise I will have to hand you over to the board of directors.” Meg shouted loudly.

The next morning, Ye Yunzhou turned on his computer, and the headlines on the front page of several major portals were “Global online payment software crashes, online payment security is in doubt.”

Well, Ye Yunzhou frowned and thought to himself, is Jarvis’s little “Shining” virus so awesome?

After reading it, Ye Yunzhou quickly called Li Mi. First, he asked him to publish a statement on the official website of Jiaoyibao, which said that Jiaoyibao used the most advanced technology in the world and was the safest payment software in the world today. It also promised to users that Jiaoyibao would fully compensate for any security losses caused by using Jiaoyibao.

The second message was that in order to prove the security of Jiaoyibao, Jiaoyibao invited all “computer experts” in the world to crack and attack Jiaoyibao. Whoever could crack Jiaoyibao would be rewarded with 2 million US dollars.

As soon as the two messages of Jiaoyibao were released, they were immediately reprinted by major websites, including major mainstream financial media in Xia. Not only that, the two messages quickly spread to America like wings. This time, Jiaoyibao became completely famous.
