Rebirth of the Internet Overlord

When Ning Zimo walked into a conference room filled with mostly unfamiliar faces, Chen Shijun and Pan Yu's introductions saved him a lot of effort. But when Ning Zimo heard everyone calling him a "creative genius," Ning Zimo still wasn't used to it.

"You see, PayPal is a place that recognizes abilities," Chen Shijun put his head in Ning Zimo's ear and whispered, "Your two projects, the human-computer graphics verification program and ebayswindler, impressed everyone, so if you don't come, your reputation will be lost."

Not too young anymore.”

While he was talking, a resolute white man suddenly walked in from the door. When the man looked at Ning Zimo, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Our creative genius has finally arrived."

While talking, the white man who deliberately bypassed Ning Zimo stretched out his hand. Ning Zimo quickly stood up and held it with him. The man looked at Ning Zimo carefully and said with a smile, "I am Lev

Qin, we have been waiting for you for a long time, Ning!"

Ning Zimo smiled shyly, responded briefly, and then sat down at Levqin's signal.

In fact, Ning Zimo recognized Levchin when he first entered the door. After all, Levchin was a senior talent who participated in the entire growth process of Paypal and later served as a senior executive at Google. Just like Chen Shijun who Ning Zimo wanted to recruit.

Like Pan Yu, Levqin is also one of the important goals of Ning Zimomi's trip.

"I believe you all know each other. Apart from being younger and more handsome than we thought, there is nothing more special about Ning." Levchin's words made everyone in the conference room laugh, and the scene was very lively.

.

But this situation did not last for a few seconds. As a serious-looking person walked in, the atmosphere in the room suddenly changed. Ning Zimo even felt that Chen Shijun next to him could not sit down after that person came in.

It's comfortable, but everyone else present is more or less uncomfortable.

Who is that person?

Why is this so?

Influential?

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the man sitting in the lower seat. Ning Zimo suppressed his curiosity and turned his attention to Levchin's speech.

"We have received internal information that eBay will launch a new round of attacks on our PayPal."

Levchin's expression was serious, and the senior engineers sitting there also had grim expressions. Even Chen Shijun, who was next to Ning Zimo, straightened up, giving the entire conference room a serious atmosphere.

Are Taobao and Alipay fighting? Ask any flower grower in the past life, and their first reaction is: How is it possible! Alipay and Taobao are brother companies and cannot be rivals. But in the previous life, everyone knew about the relationship. In 2001, Paypal

This is not the case with eBay. Now they still regard each other as competitors.

Ning Zimo understands that this wave of attacks on eBay will even affect the future development of PayPal. The current senior management of PayPal still has not found a clear and suitable path.

but,

What they don't have.

Ning Zimo was already prepared!

As the reborn son of heaven, Ning Zimo is a wise man. At that time, Paypal was like a prophet. Whether he copied Alipay to build a credit mechanism, a financial system, or other business strategies, he could

PayPal found another way to bypass eBay attacks.

Ning Zimo has been prepared, but as a newcomer with an unstable foundation and no right to speak yet, not many people will be convinced even if he speaks out.

Therefore, Ning Zimo, who attended a decision-making meeting for the first time, just listened quietly and waited quietly.

Waiting for a suitable opportunity, a suitable opportunity to break in and demonstrate "vision" and ability.

Opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared. When all the senior engineers looked troubled and could not come up with any ideas, the opportunity Ning Zimo was waiting for unexpectedly appeared.

The person next who made all the engineers nervous suddenly looked at Ning Zimo and said with a smile, "Since we can't find any suitable method in the old way, let's let the new young people express their opinions.

?”

With his palms spread in the direction of Ning Zimo, the man looked into Ning Zimo's eyes and said, "Ning is still an outsider after all. He has innovative ideas in the ebayswindler project. He also revealed that he has a good plan.

I wonder if Ning is prepared today?"

Chen Shijun moved as soon as he finished speaking, but Ning Zimo responded at a speed that no one expected, "I do have a series of plans regarding this."

As soon as this statement came out, the engineers were stunned. Did this young man who had not been familiar with Paypal business really have a solution, or was it a series of solutions?

Is it creativity or arrogance?

Ning Zimo saw their suspicious looks but didn't care so much. He came to Paypal for something more important than the current problem. Now that he had the opportunity to show off, he would not be humble.

"Let's first talk about the essence of eBay's suppression of us. It is nothing more than promoting their billpoint system. So how they suppress us is essentially to reduce transactions using PayPal from various ports."

Ning Zimo reached the critical point, and everyone nodded with one sentence. Then Ning Zimo continued, "The initiators of the transaction are all sellers. eBay only needs to control the seller's usage habits and block our PayPal payment.

This will reduce the frequency of Paypal usage.”

"That's right," Chen Shijun nodded in time, "As you mentioned last time, we use the power of forum trolls to mobilize public opinion to influence the officials not to do this. This has been our main counterattack point."

Chen Shijun, this guy, didn't forget to help Ning Zimo strengthen his influence at this time, which made Ning Zimo inexplicably moved.

After gathering his emotions and nodding, Ning Zimo continued, "Since we can't change eBay's repeated attacks on this point, why don't we take the initiative to open up a battlefield that eBay can't change and directly affect customer behavior?"

"What do you mean?" Levchin thought of something, but felt that he couldn't grasp that point.

Ning Zimo tapped his right fist on the conference table, raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Publish turbo lister!"

Levchin was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he smiled in surprise.

Chen Shijun, who was sitting next to Ning Zimo, reacted after him and said excitedly, "You want to influence user behavior by publishing software, and this method is beyond eBay's control!"

"Yes, as an official website sales tool, Kuaishou's function is simply rubbish." Ning Zimo nodded with disdain, "Imagine if we had a set of publishing software that was more useful than eBay's official Kuaishou, and we

Promote him quickly, and at least 70% of the sellers listed on Kuaishou will use our PayPal transaction method by default."

"For the remaining customers, we can still use the old method." The next man's eyebrows were filled with admiration. He smiled and nodded at Ning Zimo:

"Ning, I saw you right, you are a genius who has found a new way."
