Rebirth of the Internet Overlord

Jeffrey Bader stared at the young emperor penguin leader in front of him with great curiosity, and he was looking forward to getting some different answers from his mouth.

As one of the first black president's staff on Asia affairs, Jeffrey Bader was the director of the China Center at the Rukins Institution and currently leads the entire Asia policy team.

Jeffrey, who served as the National Security Council's director of Asia affairs during President Trump's tenure, will still serve as the National Security Council's senior director of Asia-Pacific affairs in the future team of the Rangers.

He knows that generally speaking, a new government will have to change its rhetoric after taking office, but the substantive dialogue between the United States and China will definitely continue. After all, China, as the world's factory, is now coming to the forefront. In addition to the politics after World War II,

In addition to collision, there is still a need for win-win cooperation.

In addition to the government level,

It’s more of an enterprise level.

And now, the youngest chief operating officer in history who has left Silicon Valley has come to the United States with his Emperor Penguin and Alibaba, a company in which he holds shares.

Jeffrey actually knows the purpose of Peter Thiel's introduction to Ning Zimo. Apple's recent ZZ research on iPhone Zero is no secret in the eyes of people in the ZZ circle like them.

In fact, this kind of thing has not happened before. Just a few years ago, the game between Huawei and Cisco forced Cisco to finally use such a method.

Cisco and Apple are both established companies in the United States, but they have been forced by foreign companies Huawei and Emperor Penguin to use methods that have never been used by Chinese companies. This can only be said that during the rapid development of these years, American companies have already

There are some signs of weakness.

Maybe it's because they've been in the boss position for too long, or maybe they've run out of ideas. But being able to finally use ZZ means shows that they are aware of the danger.

But Jeffrey has always felt that the market cannot be a pool of stagnant water with a solidified model. The flowers that always grow in the greenhouse cannot withstand the washing of wind and rain. Therefore, he followed Peter Thiel's advice and came to the front of the market.

Meet this young man.

Both iPhone Zero and Ant Forest were projects that this young man pushed hard, and Jeffrey had paid close attention to them.

In his opinion, iPhone Zero may really be a great product that subverts the mobile phone industry as advertised by the industry. And Ant Forest... emmmm, this is a very strange, business-based public welfare model.

Either of them entering the United States will have a stimulating effect on the market during the current economic crisis.

However, Jeffrey never expected that when Apple recently launched zz research on the iPhone, the young man in front of him, who was accustomed to finding new ways, would avoid the criticism and instead focus on Ant Forest.

He just used iPhone Zero to show the news on Twitter that eBay has joined Ant Forest. In Jeffrey's view, in addition to being surprised that iPhone Zero can really understand current affairs anytime and anywhere, he is even more surprised that this young man relies on

What attracted American businesses to join his public welfare programs.

There are a lot of doubtful questions in Jeffrey's mind now, but Paul Wolfe suddenly appeared today, a senior he respected very much, and having him ask questions saved him a lot of trouble.

Now let’s see what kind of medicine this young man is selling in his gourd.

…

Gazes came from all directions, and Ning Zimo, who swept them all, caught different meanings from each pair of eyes.

Today's occasion is a bit special. This is by no means his usual shopping mall scene, but an occasion with a more or less ZZ meaning.

Whether it's Jeffrey Bader, the Paladin's staff officer introduced by Peter Thiel, or the famous but low-key Paul Wolff. Neither of these two people are in the market, and they can be convinced by dividing their interests alone.

people.

Yes, it is true that zz Cash is positioned as an environmentally friendly public welfare route, but if we don’t come up with something different, we will not get the desired results. And going in such a big circle is not just for the Ant Forest.

Fortunately, the original plan and Paul Wolfe's questions were pushing things in the planned direction.

After simply arranging the thoughts he had recently sorted out in his mind, Ning Zimo opened an app on his phone.

This is a software that has been transplanted from computers to smartphones. This is the first time it has been shown to people outside of China.

And it will be the key to connecting all his plans.

Ning Zimo showed the software in front of everyone and said directly:

"Since 2003, Emperor Penguin has begun to focus on participating in public welfare activities. From the beginning, it donated old computers to necessary areas every year, and in 2008, it participated in post-disaster assistance activities in Wenchuan, China. Every public welfare donation, Emperor Penguin's

Luban Technology uses this management software called DiDi Charity to manage the entire donation process."

As Ning Zimo spoke, he opened the Didi Charity APP that had been switched to the English interface in front of everyone.

Especially after clicking on the charity donation list after the Wenchuan earthquake, what is displayed in front of everyone is a tree diagram of resource distribution that is clear at a glance.

Ning Zimo explained: “Didi Public Welfare only controlled the whereabouts of materials from the beginning in 2003, to the launch of QR codes for full material control in the second half of 2007, and to June this year it has gone through 5 years and 10 version updates.

The latest version, in addition to using detailed data to record the whereabouts of funds, also uses something called a QR code to control the specific flow of public welfare materials."

As Ning Zimo opened the topic, a graphic code that appeared in eBay's conference room was displayed in front of everyone.

This thing is the QR code that Ning Zimo said, and it was this QR code that once made eBay decide to cooperate with Alipay in half a day. From the moment it appeared, it firmly caught everyone's attention.

"QR code technology was first developed by Toyota in Japan and applied to precision parts in the automobile manufacturing industry. However, we have cooperated with Alipay, a subsidiary of Alibaba, to further upgrade this technology.

Compared with one-dimensional codes, QR codes can store numbers, letters, pictures, audios, videos and other information. They also have higher reading efficiency and better fault-tolerance mechanisms. And most importantly, with the help of QR codes,

, we can give absolute top-to-bottom control over the management of charity materials."

"Absolute control?" Paul Wolfe wondered.

"Yes, absolute control." Ning Zimo nodded, "Take Ant Forest as an example. All the actual saplings that users exchange for green energy will have the only QR code in the world.

It is equivalent to the environmental protection fund donated by any Ant Forest cooperative enterprise. When it changes from funds to entities, it will enter the control of the unique identification QR code.

This also means that all the final contracted planting merchants will not only record the quantity of any sapling they receive, but also record in detail which grower and which field it belongs to."

"Can QR code technology control in such detail?" Paul Wolfe was surprised.

"Yes, when U.S. dollars are issued, they are 2 letters plus 8 digits, which is a mixture of 10 digits and letters. The QR code can store 1,100 bytes of identifiers that are a mixture of numbers and letters." Ning

As Zimo spoke, he took out a banknote, pointed at the number on it and said:

"The application of QR codes in charity projects can effectively record the flow of every fund when it is turned into physical objects. This will provide the best traceability method for regulatory agencies."

Paul Wolfe's eyes widened, "This will make the charity's regulatory mechanism more transparent!"

Ning Zimo nodded and looked at Jeffrey Bader and said, "Emperor Penguin will promote Alipay's Ant Forest to the United States. In addition to providing a one-time environmental protection fund of 1.5 million U.S. dollars, it will also provide a complete set of public welfare programs to the U.S. government.

.

What I can guarantee is that this multi-language system has been running in our country for 5 years and is extremely convenient to use. The QR code related industry will play its role here because the United States has a 3G network.

Maximum effectiveness.”

"Will 3G maximize the effectiveness of QR codes?" Jeffrey Bader was curious, but still looked at Ning Zimo with interest.

Although he had never come into contact with this young man, he learned about his habits from the people around him, and everyone said that he was a far-sighted person.

How could it be this young man's ultimate goal when it was just an ant forest?

Sure enough, after going full circle, the young man finally got back to the 3G network.

When Ning Zimo saw Jeffrey holding it, he couldn't help but take out two QR codes.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he opened a software called QR Code on his iPhone Zero and scanned one of the QR codes directly.

The mobile phone interface jumps quickly and then displays the information corresponding to the QR code.

"This QR code shows that the object with this QR code is a handsome tree belonging to the A3 test site of the Minqin Desert Control Comprehensive Experiment Station near the desert in northern China. The planting time of this handsome tree was in 2008

July 15th.

If something like this happened in the United States, the unit supervising the planting of saplings would only need to take out their mobile phones and use the QR Code software to scan the QR code corresponding to the saplings, and they would be able to know at a glance whether the contracted growers have complied with the contract.

, these trees were planted in designated locations.”

"In other words, with the help of QR codes and the gradual expansion of mobile network bandwidth in the future, the problem of difficult management of the flow of money from charity projects after it is turned into materials will be completely solved?"

Paul Wolf is an economist, but he has always been concerned about public welfare. He naturally knows the opacity in public welfare activities. Apart from the people who control the project not wanting him to be transparent, the biggest difficulty lies in converting funds into

Post-flow management of materials.

But he had just seen Ning Zimo make the information corresponding to an item transparent through a simple QR code. Although it was just an item, in Paul Wolfe's mind, it instantly became

There is a pile of supplies with QR codes attached.

You must know that when the problem of management transparency is solved, the supervision method will become simpler. The fund and material management and control system applied to Ant Forest can be applied to any charity project.

No matter how much the respectable Paul Wolfe was immersed in joy, Jeffrey Bader, who was watching from the sidelines, remained indifferent.

Jeffrey Bader never believed that eBay decided to join the Ant Forest project so quickly just by relying on a QR code to make charity supervision more transparent.

His eyes fell on another QR code in Ning Zimo's hand. Jeffrey Bader suddenly laughed and said, "Ning, the 3G network will maximize the effectiveness of the QR code. I think it's not just what you just showed us."

So simple."

"Of course." Ning Zi smiled silently.

He knew that Jeffrey Bader saw that he was hiding something, so he took the iPhone zero handed over by Tang Ruiwen, opened an English version of Alipay software. Then after typing the next string of numbers in front of everyone, the interface became

A QR code was generated.

Ning Zimo took another iPhone Zero handed over by Dong Qianqian. Under the gaze of everyone, the other iPhone Zero in his hand also opened an English version of Alipay software, and then scanned the QR code of the phone just now.

.

The interface jumps again and becomes an interface for entering a password.

Ning Zimo smiled and said, "That's enough. After all, this function still needs support from eBay and major banks in the United States."

"This is... PAYMENT!!!" Jeffrey Bader was so surprised that he couldn't say any more.

While he was staring at him, Ning Zimo raised the iPhone zero in his hand:

"Another area where QR codes are used is the payment function that Alipay cooperates with PayPal, a subsidiary of eBay. Since QR codes have a storage address of up to 1,100 digits, it can ensure that 6.4 billion people around the world can make transactions at the same time at the same time.

, there is also a corresponding unique transaction record.

In the future, people will only need to hold their mobile phones to make secure payments when they go to the airport. As for merchants, they only need a simple QR code scanner. There is no need for a cumbersome process of swiping a card to sign or paying cash to get change.

, people can enjoy payment.”

Looking into Jeffrey Bader's eyes, Ning Zimo said calmly, "I believe that Alipay, a subsidiary of Alibaba, will work with eBay and PayPal to inject some hope into the current bad economic environment through the innovation of payment technology.

vitality!"

***+***

It wasn't until eight o'clock in the evening that the hungry Ning Zimo had the opportunity to step aside from his seat in the middle of the reception.

After finding a corner to rest for a minute, Ning Zimo took the plate and walked to the place where the food was placed.

Although very hungry,

But it worked!

Whether it is Ant Forest or mobile payment, the ZZ donation plan that went round and round finally made its stunning debut after the appearance of Paul Wolfe.

The QR code technology that has been studied in the past few years has achieved great success as soon as it was introduced. On the one hand, it allowed Americans to see a different and effectively guaranteed environmental protection plan. On the other hand, it allowed them to see a new technological innovation zone.

potential market.

Today, the global economic crisis is gradually getting worse. But those with foresight know that behind every economic crisis, there will be a new round of suckers and the birth of the market.

This is the case with QR codes. It not only means technological innovation, but also means new markets brought about by this technology.

Whether it is an economic tycoon like Paul Wolf who has experienced several crises, or someone like Jeffrey Bader who is also very knowledgeable about the world economy. They are both willing to see that beyond this economic crisis, there can be

Something is born and brings change.

QR codes are not something that directly brings changes, but smartphones are. Although Yugong Technology is not an American company, an iPhone Zero that can bring changes to the world can strongly stimulate consumption and make money roll.

The economy is like this, it is not a stagnant pool but a rolling one.

A truly wise person can understand what all this will bring.

Jeffrey Bader, introduced by Peter Thiel,

And Paul Wolff, who unexpectedly appeared, is even more such a person.

"What are you thinking about~~Ning~~"

???

When a gentle female voice appeared next to her ears, Ning Zimo suddenly came back to her senses.

When he turned sideways and saw a pair of long legs approaching, he realized who was coming behind him.

Ivanka with long hair came over. When she was one step away, her head was almost level with Ning Zimo. She smiled and stretched out her hand:

"Although we have already met, this is the time for a formal introduction." Ivanka held Ning Zimo's hand and smiled, "Ning, I am Ivanka ***~~I am you

fans."
