Rebirth of the Internet Overlord

Anderson is an environmentalist. Since the day "Ant Forest" was announced on social networks, he has been paying close attention to the project to be implemented in China.

For no other reason than to learn more about the operation model of "Ant Forest" in detail that day out of curiosity, Anderson discovered that behind "Ant Forest" there is an amazing set of benign operating logic that closely integrates environmental protection and business.

You must know that environmental protection is actually a very long and arduous task. In addition to requiring people to have better living habits, it also requires a large amount of money to support its healthy development.

But behind the "Ant Forest", there was a road that he had never discovered before. It was a sustainable development path for environmental protection and even public welfare. There might be an alternative path to sustainable development.

So Anderson has been paying attention to the "Ant Forest" these days. He hopes that this project will continue and there will be subsequent achievements, so as to prove that this benign operating model is correct and real.

Today is Tuesday. Before leaving home early in the morning, Anderson routinely turned on his computer and logged into Twitter to follow the discussion on the topic of "Ant Forest."

Seeing him turn on the computer, his roommate Gru smiled and said, "Are you going to continue arguing with that person last night?"

"Of course, I want him to realize his mistake." Anderson said with a smile.

In recent days, on Internet social platforms, the environmental craze caused by "Ant Forest" has become more and more intense, and various opinions have been changing.

Yesterday, a new argument appeared on major platforms, "Environmental protection should be environmental protection and should not be associated with commercial activities that smell of copper. Such environmental protection is not pure enough!"

The man denigrated the "Ant Forest" business model as worthless in a short sentence, and Anderson was furious.

What made Anderson even more indignant was that the person directly ignored the detailed plans announced by "Ant Forest" on major social networking sites and directly expressed dissatisfaction with the business operation model of "Ant Forest".

"I really feel that that person makes me angry and ridiculous, because his dissatisfaction is only because of 'environmental protection needs to be pure'?"

Gru curled his lips, "Yeah, there are still such simple people these days. Doesn't he know that if the environmental protection cause is just separated from the purity of business, those who don't want to participate in environmental protection will be shut out, and even more

Does it increase the difficulty of environmental protection?”

"These people without the ability to think logically are really scary. Sometimes your work is really difficult to carry out." Gru said, shaking his head. "These people always use the beauty of the fantasy world to solve problems. It is expected that they are simply not as good as

Call them fools."

"Who says it's not the case? I often encounter fools like this in my work."

Anderson had a dissatisfied look on his face, and his mind flashed back to the reply he had given the man yesterday when he suppressed his anger and justifiably slapped it on his face.

"...If we analyze the plan for the opening of 'Ant Forest' in detail, its core part is not the implementation of environmentally friendly tree planting. Rather, it is the first project that can truly combine business and environmental protection, and

It has also formed a successful model of circular ecology.

First of all, it gives the public a simple entrance to participate in this large-scale event, and lowers the entry threshold for environmental protection, making it easier for everyone to participate, which also leads to acceptance and awareness;

Then, its simple gameplay has extremely solid logical support, which can guarantee the companies that actually invest money that every penny invested in this public welfare program will not be abused;

Finally, I want to emphasize the most important part of ‘Ant Forest’, which is also the core part that people don’t pay attention to.

It uses a contract method to hand over the actual implementation of public welfare work to small groups that are willing to undertake it.

In addition to allowing this public welfare project to continue to operate continuously, this approach can also generate hundreds of thousands of green jobs from this project.

The so-called charity should not be colluded with business is nonsense. Such an argument is nothing more than raising the threshold of charity.

The "Ant Forest" is lowering the threshold, and it wants to ensure that people who contract to plant trees can definitely make some money, but what these contractors get is just a better reward than ordinary life.

Think about it, Ant Forest insures people who plant trees. The average salary is less than US$20 a day, which is only US$600 a month.

Such wages almost mean that these people have to have some faith to undertake the tree planting work of the 'Ant Forest'..."

Anderson opened Twitter with great anticipation, preparing to see how the person would reply to him. But when he accidentally glanced at the previous names on Twitter's hot topic list, he suddenly discovered a surprising message.

"Gru, come here and see" Anderson shouted in surprise, "Ebay has announced that it will join the 'Ant Forest' project."

!!!

Gru was shocked when he heard this and almost poured the milk in his hand over the bowl.

After he reacted, he ignored the messy countertop and rushed directly behind Anderson.

A brief sentence on Anderson's monitor confirmed the news just now.

"As soon as eBay launches its official Twitter, I want to bring you some good news. eBay will reach a cooperation with China's Alipay company to implement the 'Ant Forest' project in the United States. Later on

, let’s collect green energy together... By the way, I also want to @Linkin@Facebook, let’s provide users with an interface to collect green energy.”

Gru stared at Anderson, only to see his roommate looking at him in confusion.

“Quickly, go check out the reactions on LinkedIn and Facebook Twitter.”

When Gru reminded him, Anderson quickly searched LinkedIn and Facebook.

Before today, he had not followed the Twitter feeds of these two companies.

Unexpectedly, after he clicked on the two pages, he saw the same sentence on both homepages.

“I heard that everyone is talking about ‘Ant Forest’ recently, why don’t we join them too.”

Looking at the same content on the screen, Gru was speechless for a long time:

"LinkedIn and Facebook are both social platforms, one is for professional social networking and the other is for entertainment social networking. Coupled with the actual support of eBay's PayPal payment, now 'Ant Forest' can really be copied to the United States!

"

Anderson chewed on Gru's words carefully. Because Gru works in Silicon Valley, what he just said can almost represent the opinions of Internet people.

At this moment when the two of them were in a daze, new news released by eBay, LinkedIn, and Facebook had already triggered a new round of public opinion whirlwind and quickly climbed up the Twitter hot list.

After a long while, Gru, who was rubbing his chin, suddenly said, "But if Ant Forest is to be implemented in the United States, it still lacks a key link."

"Are you talking about the planting of saplings?" Anderson suddenly remembered, "In China, the planting of saplings in the 'Ant Forest' is handed over to contractors."

"How will this link be implemented in the United States?" Gru was also very curious.

Located in a high-end residential area on the outskirts of Los Angeles, Trump National Golf Club is also translated as Trump National Golf Club. Whether from the outside or from the inside, this new course is gorgeously decorated and stylish.

senses.

At the same time that eBay had just officially announced that it had joined the "Ant Forest" project, Ning Zimo was sitting next to Peter Thiel, listening intently as the man opposite praised the stadium.

"This golf course faces the Pacific Ocean, with beautiful scenery and pleasant environment. You can see the deep blue sea from all directions on the tee and green. It cost 250 million US dollars to build and was rated as the No. 1 golf course in California.

Hiking through the waterfall in front of the first green and putting on the island green is a wonderful experience that golf enthusiasts cannot miss. Only when you are there can you feel its luxury.

"

The old man who spoke was called Paul Walker, but he was not the key figure in ZZ's donation that Peter introduced to Ning Zimo.

The person Peter introduced sat aside and was completely speechless, but willingly gave up the stage to the old man in front of him.

Paul Walker, whose brilliant and legendary career is unparalleled:

Entrusted with important responsibilities by six presidents of the United States, he was assigned to deal with crises and responded to financial crises three times;

As chairman of the Federal Reserve for two consecutive terms, he successfully tamed the double-digit inflation monster, creating the "Volcker Miracle" and laying a solid foundation for the "Great Stability" of economic growth in the United States for the next two decades.

Ning Zimo also didn’t expect to meet Paul Walker at this golf course in California today. Speaking of this, Mr. Paul Walker’s weight in his heart is almost as important as that of the man he visited a few years ago.

Mr. Richard Bean.

But this person suddenly appeared here, and Ning Zimo suddenly became confused about his intentions.

Ning Zimo's anxiety was hidden in his eyes, and the 80-year-old Paul Walker, who had met countless people, naturally saw it.

"Ning, don't be nervous. I just accidentally heard about the 'Ant Forest' charity project you recently launched from Ivanka, so when she saw you just now, I decided to come with her to say hello."

Following Paul Wolfe's signal, Ning Zimo noticed the tall blond beauty next to him. Although it was his first time meeting her, Ning Zimo could tell who she was at a glance.

But before he could speak, Paul Wolfe knocked on the table and asked eagerly, "Ning, I'd like to ask..."

"Old sir, you don't have to be so polite."

"Okay, then just call me Paul," Paul Walker puffed out his chest, "I'm only 80 years old, I'm not old yet!"

"Okay, sir..."

"Um?"

"Okay, Paul."

After a slight pause to lighten the atmosphere, Ning Zimo quickly returned to the topic, "Paul, what did you want to ask just now?"

When Paul Wolf saw Ning Zimo's expression restrained, he said seriously, "Ning, when I first saw the 'Ant Forest' plan, I always admired this set of business logic that links the public, enterprises, and governments."

Seeing Paul pause, Ning Zimo answered clearly, "Not only do we have our own team to design this product, we also hired professional actuaries to calculate its sustainable development."

"How likely is it that 'Ant Forest' will be copied to the United States?" Paul nodded and further said, "Because the operating model of 'Ant Forest' is likely to solve the problems of tens of thousands of people in the United States in the next few decades.

Employment issues!”

It was so unexpected, it was a surprise!

From the corner of his eye, Ning Zimo saw the excited look in Peter's eyes, and even saw the surprise in the eyes of the person Peter was dating. The old man's amazing assist made Ning Zimo want to hold him and kiss him twice.

You know, the same argument coming from their mouths and Paul Wolff's mouth will be two different concepts.

But after this moment of revelation, Ning Zimo was not only happy, but also quickly turned more and more things in his mind.

Now is an excellent entry point,

He must be able to make full use of it.

Thinking of this, Ning Zimo quickly apologized and took out his iPhone zero from behind.

"Paul, just 10 minutes ago, eBay, PayPal, LinkedIn and Facebook all announced that they would join the 'Ant Forest' project. In other words, the 'Ant Forest' that we can implement in China is also operational in the United States.

possible."

Ning Zimo raised his cell phone, which puzzled everyone, because at this time, people were not yet in the habit of connecting to the Internet with their smartphones at any time.

But what Ning Zimo deliberately did was for this moment. He leaned forward and pointed the screen towards the middle of the crowd. Then the screen of his mobile phone lit up, showing everyone the Twitter APP interface.

Everyone turned their heads curiously and could see the brief content on the screen.

Ning Zimo pointed at the screen and explained to everyone, "'Ant Forest' does have a complete set of business logic, but just relying on one plan is not enough. Therefore, in the near future, there will be eBay, PayPal, LinkedIn, Facebook, etc.

Join the platform.

On the one hand, they have become the fund providers of the ‘Ant Forest’, and on the other hand, their platform users will also become the collectors of the green energy of the ‘Ant Forest’.”

eBay's joining of "Ant Forest" is explosive news.

But letting them see this news with their own eyes on a small screen is even more impactful.

Ivanka pointed to the iPhone Zero in Ning Zimo's hand and was surprised, "Is this the iPhone Zero, a smartphone that has not yet been officially released?"

Ning Zimo nodded, but he didn't expect Paul Wolfe to be curious:

"Ning, since you are the ones who proposed the 'Ant Forest' plan, I believe you still have some key points on how to implement the plan..."

"Then, can you tell me how in the process of converting 'green energy' into actual trees, you ultimately ensure that the funds are actually used where they should be used?"

Ning Zimo's eyes lit up,

I suddenly found this old man Paul to be really interesting.

This old gentleman really came to assist him!
