Rebirth of the Internet Overlord

{Time: January 24, 2001}

{Location: Flower Planting-Qin Province-Hannan City}

Zhang Junya was finally able to sleep in a few times during the winter vacation. The rare 9 hours of sleep these days compared with the 5-6 hours of sleep during school days still allowed her to fully enjoy the true meaning of the vacation.

Yesterday, she stayed up until very late and went to bed very late. Before going to bed, her brother specifically told her to leave the door open for him because he needed to borrow a computer to handle some things early in the morning.

Before going to bed, Zhang Junya was still murmuring in her heart. She always felt that her brother had changed a lot recently, especially when it came to the idea of ​​taking a break from school.

But now that my uncle and aunt agreed, even my father was relieved.

It seems that as my sister, I have nothing to say.

I only hope that what my brother wants to do can succeed.

Zhang Junya fell asleep in a daze like this, and when she woke up in a daze, she saw the sky was just getting bright outside the window.

During yesterday's snowfall, the roof of the building opposite the window was covered with a vast expanse of white snow.

On top of the buildings in the distance, there is a snowy scenery wrapped in silver trees.

Although it is not winding for thousands of miles, it is a rare beauty in the city of Hannan.

This snowfall from last year to this year should be a good sign that the auspicious snow will bring a good harvest.

At this moment, several mouse clicks and keyboard sounds suddenly appeared, causing Zhang Junya to look up curiously.

A familiar figure at the desk faced her direction,

I took another look at the clock on the wall,

The time is only 7:30 in the morning.

Isn't this brother too diligent?

Looking at her brother's back, Zhang Junya said softly, "Brother, you stayed up so late last night and you still got up so early in the morning."

Hearing his sister's concerned voice, Ning Zimo turned around and saw the little lazy man's slightly tired face.

Sure enough, girls are not suitable for staying up late.

"Is it affecting your ability to sleep in? How about I give you some compensation?"

"Hey," Zhang Junya curiously opened the quilt, put on her down jacket and got up.

Last night, I went to bed with my clothes on to leave the door open for my brother. It would be easier to get up now.

Walking to Ning Zimo's side with a long voice, Zhang Junya stretched out her hand and covered her brother's forehead, "Brother, you don't have a fever, right?"

pia

Ning Zimo knocked the little lazy man's hand off his forehead with a gentle slap.

This guy likes to pull his clothes and hide behind him since he was little.

The older she gets, the more she is pampered and spoiled.

In her previous life, when she was busy with her career, she would receive various postcards and photos of herself and the scenery sent to her from all over the world.

Every time I see her in photos, I always think of the little elf grabbing clothes behind her when I was a child.

Judging from the photos, the mature woman at that time had lost her youthful delicacy and transformed into a worldly and independent woman.

Now Ning Zimo, a 37-year-old soul, has actually become closer to her because of the distance between her past life and her adult life.

"I interfered with your rest and wanted to compensate you, but you went crazy and thought I was talking nonsense?"

Zhang Junya, who grew up together with Ning Zimo, and Luffy inevitably became a bit boyish after being together for a long time. In high school, she continued this habit. As she was talking, she put her arms around Ning Zimo.

On his neck, his chin was resting on his shoulder, pretending to be pitiful.

"Brother, what compensation are you going to give to this gentle and lovely sister of yours?"

After all, blood is thicker than water, and the slim little beauty exhales like orchid on his shoulder, and Ning Zimo's old soul also breeds a youthful mood.

Ning Zi knocked her sister lightly with her head, and silently pointed at the numbers on the screen, "Here, your brother has become a rich man in a short period of time. I will open a special account for you in the future for your extra expenses for college."

"

Zhang Junya held Ning Zimo's head, followed his fingers, and saw the numbers on the screen at a glance.

Not much, five zeros.

The front of 0 is a 1.

"100,000?" Zhang Junya wrinkled her nose and read out, then even frowned, "Brother, is this a virtual community like Liquor City? This 100,000 yuan is not a virtual currency, right?"

Ning Zimo was so proud of his youth that he defeated his younger sister in less than three seconds.

I feel like this little follower has a tendency to get closer to my mother, Zheng Yawen.

She thought the relationship was a virtual community in the wine city?

Clicking on the blue Paypal logo, Ning Zimo said with a straight face, "This is Paypal, and this is my Paypal account. As long as I have a dual-currency account at the Flower Planting Bank, I can exchange it for RMB."

"Ah?" Zhang Junya was stunned for 2 seconds, and suddenly his frown deepened, "Brother, your currency unit is still US dollars? Two days ago, you said you earned 5,000 US dollars, which is more than 40,000 yuan. 100,000 US dollars, then no

Just 80…”

The unit behind Zhang Junya didn't dare to say anything. He stretched out his hand to cover his mouth and looked over with an incredulous expression on his face.

If she hadn't leaned back, Ning Zimo felt that he would have become cross-eyed.

While his sister was dumbfounded, Ning Zimo raised the corners of his lips and nodded leisurely, "How else could I say that I can open a special university account for you? Do you really think I'm teasing you?"

Zhang Junya's face grew taller and taller, and in a few seconds she was two steps away from Ning Zimo. The exaggerated expression on her face looked like she was possessed by the energetic girl Fu Yuanhui.

Although,

She didn't know,

Who is Fu Yuanhui?

A few hours ago, far away on the other side of the Pacific at the PayPal company in California, Levchin was carefully reading the email written by Pan.

Dear Ning,

We are Pan and Chen from Paypal's online transaction security department. We are very proud to hear that you are a flower grower and a dominant Chinese.

We received your awesome verification program, it's a creative program and a perfect fit for our PayPal business.

According to our comprehensive evaluation, your program will reduce our fraud losses by about 70%. But we are sorry that our boss only approved a special fee of 100,000 for us. This may have something to do with the fact that you directly sent the program.

It must be related. However, our CTO Mr. Levchin is already very interested in the other two unannounced ideas you mentioned.

Now, not only us, but also our business director David Sachs has great expectations for your last two ideas.

So this time, we will send you a special 0-rate account in the email, and send you the password through another email...

After Levchin read it silently, he frowned and said, "Do you think this price will dissatisfy him? Because David feels that if his last two ideas are really that powerful, they can solve the problem of our group of geniuses."

If the problem cannot be solved, we will subsidize it for him."

"I have nothing to say. After all, I am not the company's decision-maker. And the decisions made by decision-makers often have deeper considerations." Chen raised his eyebrows when he spoke, and people could see what he was thinking at a glance.

accurate.

This action made Pan and Levchin look at each other and just shrug.

Pan took a deep breath before hitting Enter to send the email.

***+***

Zhang Junya finally understood how her brother's "ill-gotten gains" came from when she heard Ning Zimo help her complete the translated email.

However, after reading the email, the issue that Zhang Junya cared about most was not her brother's high income, but Ning Zimo's English proficiency.

Brother, your American pronunciation is so standard! How did you practice it?

"Listen to the tape." Ning Zimo said nonsensically as he opened the godaddy website, "Although the tapes all have British pronunciation, I can translate it into American by myself."

Can it still be like this?

"Okay, let's see if the money can really be used." Ning Zimo quickly changed the subject.

Switching back to his Paypal account, the only number displayed on the page was the balance after he just purchased the relevant business on Godaddy.

"Okay, it does work."

Zhang Junya curiously pointed to the unknown thing on the screen and asked, "Brother, what are you buying? These costs three hundred US dollars, 2,400 yuan, which is my pocket money for several years!"

"Hehehe," Ning Zimo raised his lips and smiled, "This is the second project that your brother and I will be busy with next."

"e, is this a website?"

"Yes."

Ning Zimo turned off the computer and pushed the curious baby beside him out the door to wash up.

Taking advantage of the free time after the curious baby leaves, I can finally think about the next plan.

The first pot of gold came unexpectedly quickly, and the people from Paypal even specially opened a 0-fee Paypal account.

It can be seen that they attach great importance to the mini programs they sent to them, and they are also looking forward to the two new projects in Haikou that they boast about.

This kind of human-computer verification applet, which was very common in the previous life, actually does not have much technical difficulty, it is just a matter of thinking.

But this small program does have considerable significance for Paypal in this era.

In a previous life, Paypal's CTO Max Levchin and his friends finally came up with the first generation graphical verification code program.

But soon after the verification program went online, the gangsters who regarded PayPal as their flesh and blood spent more money to study how to bypass their verification program so that they could continue their fraud and money laundering business.

However, its own program has a higher threshold than the verification program developed by Paypal, which greatly increases the difficulty of being cracked.

Therefore, this is the main reason why Paypal is willing to spend 100,000 US dollars to purchase this program.

Speaking of sending it directly as an email attachment, it can be regarded as a gamble by Ning Zimo.

On the one hand, you are betting on the character of Paypal, and on the other hand, you are betting on their emphasis on fraud prevention.

But in the final analysis, it was because I didn’t have a good way to show my crossing the Atlantic, so I could only use the direct method of attachment.

Fortunately, they are a good group of people, and they responded to the trust they threw out.

At the same time, they paid a lot of money to acquire the program.

At the same time, it can be seen that PayPal is quite looking forward to its next two plans.

It will be easier to handle later.

…

When Ning Zimo thought about his stomach growling, he walked out of the room and saw a bustling scene in the kitchen.

"Wake up Zimo," Ning Yaping saw her nephew and pointed to the steamer in front of her with a smile, "I'll try the Cantonese shrimp dumplings that my second aunt learned from my aunt."

"Wow, second aunt, you actually learned how to make shrimp dumplings."

Ning Zimo looked past his second aunt Ning Yaping, and the thick heat coming out of the cage actually intensified the resistance in his stomach. He couldn't help but stretched out his hand to lift the lid, but was knocked on the back of his hand by his second aunt Ning Yaping.

"Go and wash up quickly, Junya should be out soon."

Ning Zimo rubbed the back of his hands and smiled, completely free of the burden of pretending to be tender in front of his elders.

Under Ning Yaping's gaze, she walked past her sister and walked into the bathroom.

On the sink, there is a new toothbrush filled with toothpaste.

Don't think about it, it's just what the little lazy guy prepared for himself.

Ning Zimo felt warm in his heart, and quickly performed the inevitable movements with his hands every morning.

If all goes well with your plan,

There is not much time left to stay at home and be a moth,

It’s better to cherish it now.

After washing up and walking to the kitchen, I happened to bump into my second uncle Zhang Qingshan.

"Junya said you have completed a program. Why is it so fast?"

"It's just a small program for human-machine verification."

Zhang Qingshan said oh, turned around and opened the drawer. While taking out the Cantonese shrimp dumplings inside, he continued to ask, "How much money do you think you can make with this program of yours this time?"

"Dad, everyone paid for it. I also used the money to buy several things. I have already spent more than 300 US dollars."

Zhang Junya was leaning on her father's shoulder, eagerly watching the shrimp dumplings come out of the cage, but she also didn't forget to speak to her brother.

After all, it was real money that she had seen with her own eyes, but she still laid a little foreshadowing and waited for her father to break in.

There is no doubt that curiosity is human nature. The hole Zhang Junya deliberately left really caught Zhang Qingshan's attention, "Oh, how much did your brother sell this time?"

"A total of 100,000 US dollars has been accumulated."

"How many?"

clang,

The chopsticks Zhang Qingshan didn't grasp hit the bowl with a crisp sound.

No one noticed the difference between the amount Ning Zimo said last time and the amount this time.

That total was shocking enough from a 17-year-old boy.

100,000 U.S. dollars, that’s 800,000 RMB.

Zhang Qingshan turned his head and looked at his wife beside him,

See the changes in each other's pupils.

How many days has it been?
