Rebirth of the Internet Overlord

SpaceX's Falcon 1 successfully launched into space and immediately became a hot topic among people in Silicon Valley and Wall Street.

After all, SpaceX is the first private company to successfully send a rocket into outer space. Elon Musk’s past “bragging” is now reality in front of the world. Now, no one dares to question his past

"Fantasy."

Because he persisted repeatedly, he finally turned his "fantasy" into reality!

"Go ahead and get busy. The people at NASA are probably waiting impatiently outside. You have to go and meet them. After all, they are SpaceX's big customers in the future."

"Well, I'll deal with it now. The sequelae of this success will probably leave me with no spare time for several days."

"It's okay. Let's take care of SpaceX's next matters first. We'll talk about the rest in a few days."

"Okay, then I'll go meet the people from NASA first, and then I'll find you after I've been busy for the past few days."

Musk and Ning Zimo are both vigorous and resolute people. After a few words, Musk woke up from his excitement.

He went to meet with the person in charge of NASA, and Ning Zimo saw the new news delivered by Zhang Miaoying.

…

"You mean...your cousin Zhang Junhao, there is a group of people behind him who are preparing to acquire Skype?"

"He asked me to have dinner with him a few days ago. Although we just chatted about the current situation, I had a vague feeling that he was exploring something." Zhang Miaoying took a deep look at Ning Zimo and continued, "It happened to be this morning.

, I saw him connect with a law firm, and then I found out that they went directly to eBay."

“You went to eBay just to acquire Skype?”

"Have you forgotten that I participated in the sale of Skype?" Zhang Miaoying frowned, "Ebay's group legal affairs gave me this news, and after contacting all the messages I saw, I think it should be my cousin and they are planning to acquire Skype.

.”

"Oh, I forgot about this..."

When Skype was sold, Zhang Miaoying did a lot of work as Emperor Penguin's legal counsel. Ning Zimo's reply naturally made Zhang Miaoying glare at him.

Looking at her charming posture, Ning Zimo suddenly understood.

Li Ying has been busy with licensing work for Spark's Android system these days, but despite her busy schedule, she still sent Zhang Miaoying to help him deal with the things at hand. Originally this was a good thing, as he could have a trusted professional. Who would have thought that these days

As they grow older, the women who distance themselves from each other start to act wantonly.

This was the case for Zhang Miaoying in front of her, and the same was true for Wang Ziqi before leaving China. And all these changes seemed to have occurred after teasing her ex-girlfriend Wei Ni on Weibo.

In other words, my persona of not being a womanizer has collapsed!

In desperation, Ning Zimo quickly turned his attention to the current matter.

"Actually, I should know who the person standing behind Zhang Junhao is."

"Who?" Zhang Miaoying was immediately curious.

Seeing that she was attracted to him, Ning Zimo breathed a sigh of relief.

"Do you still remember the cocktail party you took me to in 2004?"

"You mean it happened on Valentine's Day in 2004?" Zhang Miaoying blinked her big eyes, and the corners of her mouth turned proudly.

Ning Zimo was speechless. How could he have forgotten this incident? On Valentine's Day in 2004, he was inexplicably dragged to attend the meeting by Zhang Miaoying.

Thinking about it, Ning Zimo hurriedly received the message, "That day was the signing reception for Yahoo's acquisition of Overture. You were invited by your cousin to introduce you to a young talent named Rothschild.

"

"Richard Rothschild? That playboy who is famous in the British Peninsula." Zhang Miaoying frowned immediately, her attitude clear, "I hate this person very much."

Ning Zimo could only smile, "At the Overture signing reception, I got a piece of news from Yang Zhiyuan. He said that Rothschild owned 80% of Overture's shares, which meant that he had already received 1.3 billion at that time.

Huge development funds in U.S. dollars.”

Zhang Miaoying gave him another charming look as she listened. Her meaning was very clear. In 2004, Emperor Penguin's Skype was sold to eBay for US$5.6 billion as early as the beginning of the year.

But girl, are you sure you understand what I mean?

Ning Zimo hurriedly spoke faster, "The point I'm talking about is that there were two people around Rothschild at the time. One was your cousin Zhang Junhao, and the other was Wen Luoshang who you didn't notice at the time.

.”

"Wen Luoshang? Who is he?" Zhang Miaoying was curious.

Seeing that Zhang Miaoying's attention was finally diverted, Ning Zimo continued, "You have not learned some information in time since you entered Xinghuo. Wen Luoshang should be Rothschild's right-hand man like your cousin Zhang Junhao.

, and I have already met this person once some time ago."

???

Zhang Miaoying's eyes were filled with curiosity.

“In June of this year, when I came to the United States, it was to acquire MySpace, which was sold that year, and put it under Facebook as a section of the social network.

But in this acquisition negotiation, James Murdoch introduced a competitive negotiation mechanism. He arranged for two groups of us to negotiate at the same time in their two conference rooms, and the person sitting in the other office was Wen Luoshang!

"

"Wen Luoshang?~~Winston! He is the person who snatched MySpace from you some time ago." Zhang Miaoying suddenly realized.

Ning Zimo nodded, "Yes, Wen Luoshang is Winston. At the cocktail party four years ago, the people standing in front of you were Zhang Junhao and Rothschild. But what you didn't notice was that Roth

Not far behind Childe stood Wen Luochan.

Starting from Overture, Rothschild's team must have tasted the sweetness of high returns from cultivating and selling after mergers and acquisitions. And over the years, they must have followed this method and accumulated a lot of funds.

But this year seems to be a year of change for them, starting from their acquisition of MySpace and now preparing to acquire Skype. I think they must want to conduct in-depth cultivation in the social field and change their previous investment methods."

Zhang Miaoying's eyes were wide open, unable to digest so much complicated content at the same time.

She was even less clear about how Ning Zimo put this information together to imagine such an enemy.

Looking at Zhang Miaoying's reaction, Ning Zimo could probably guess what she was thinking, but he couldn't explain it to her in detail.

Because he couldn't explain to Zhang Miaoying in detail that the man behind the scenes who had suppressed his Luban technology to the point of suffocation in his previous life was because of his habitual hand movements at a cocktail party four years ago.

, he can connect all the information in front of him together.

But although this series of connections cannot be made public, there is another message that can tell her the reason.

"Emperor Penguin Group has a network security department that is independent of all systems. This network security department was originally established by Pan Yu of ACS. When Pan Yu was busy with business, the network security of Emperor Penguin-related Internet industries was all handed over to him.

Guo Shenghua and the Chinese team led by him are in charge.

Just before the Spring Festival this year, Guo Shenghua submitted a piece of statistics to me.

This information shows that Youtebu, Facebook, ACS and other projects have all been targeted. Since 2004, these projects have been added to the network attack sequence. Even Luban ERP, Weibo, Tieba and other projects, none of them have been left behind.

Although cyberattacks are common for Internet companies, after the attacks on Emperor Penguin-related projects, overseas Internet projects soon received acquisition invitations.

ACS, LinkedIn, MySpace, these Internet projects in which I secretly hold 30% of the shares, have all suffered this kind of treatment. After I took over Facebook, I never heard Cheryl say that there was an acquisition offer. Same thing.

, On the Emperor Penguin domestic Internet project, these attacks and acquisition invitations also disappeared within a period of time.

Since June, these hacker attacks have disappeared one after another. This makes me have to suspect that the Rothschild team’s method of doing things is to start with launching attacks. When these Internet projects are extremely busy, they

Naturally, they will have to choose to be merged and acquired.

Come to think of it, this method has been used by the Rothschild team in the past few years. And they also relied on this method to earn valuable trading funds."

As he spoke, Ning Zimo turned on the computer and pulled out another data form in front of Zhang Miaoying and Dong Qianqian's dumbfounded eyes.

"In four years, Guo Shenghua relied on a German IP and a British IP left behind by the other party to track down one of the companies. Among them, Alando (Alando) company carries out an Internet business mainly based on plagiarism. At the end of last year, they plagiarized eBay

Jiemian.com was eventually acquired by eBay, earning them more than $200 million.

And they launched an e-commerce website called Lazada in Southeast Asia, and they completely copied Amazon’s interface. It seems that this is how this company survives.”

After a pause, Ning Zimo pointed to the row of company names on the screen and asked Zhang Miaoying, "Are the companies that submitted their intention to acquire Skype in this sequence?"

Although Zhang Miaoying did not answer, Ning Zimo's pupils visibly dilated a bit when she saw one of the names.

That’s right, it’s real!

"Aztec is a British investment company, and all its shares come from offshore companies registered in the Cayman Islands. Like several other companies, all their shares are held in different offshore companies.

But taking all the clues together, all companies including Arlando and Aztec should be industries under the Rothschild team."

Ning Zimo took a deep breath and let it out, "Many of these companies were registered before 2002. It seems that the Rothschild team had already started making money before 2002."

Way.

On the one hand, they use hacker attacks to prevent the founding teams of various Internet projects from starting their work; on the other hand, they use these investment companies to extend olive branches to the founding teams of these projects.

Then, they will continue to increase their stake in potentially successful projects throughout the entire participation process. Eventually, they will sell these projects to big, wealthy companies like Yahoo at the highest price, just like they did with Overture.

At the same time, they have another mode of operation, which is an Internet team mainly based on plagiarism like Alan Duo. They will study the legal risk avoidance methods of Internet creativity, then copy the entire project to their own team, and finally sell it to eBay

That’s a huge profit margin!”

Zhang Miaoying had not worked beside Ning Zimo for many years. This time, Zhang Miaoying once again saw the special temperament of Ning Zimo that attracted her the most.

If I had been standing not far behind him many years ago, listening to him telling team members old and young about the future, he must have been surrounded by a dazzling light.

So, now that he is sitting here, peeling off the cocoon of an opponent in the dark, the things all around him should be unfathomable darkness.

Light and darkness are two contradictory sections on a line, but when the contradictory poles radiate from this gradually mature man, they reveal a seductive charm.

Zhang Miaoying was fascinated by what she saw, but the people scattered around Ning Zimo became curious about some clues in Ning Zimo's words.

"But boss, although hackers are sometimes targeted based on their ability. But from what you said, such a team of hackers serving this company seems unlikely to make such a serious mistake."

The speaker is Luo Dong, who is Ronan's younger brother.

Ning Zimo glanced at him curiously and saw Ronan explaining at the side, "My brother is responsible for the information management part of the team. He was also a member of the Honker Alliance. He once cooperated with Guo Shenghua

Quite a few honker battles.”

While his brother was explaining, Luo Dong pointed at the data in Ning Zimo's table:

"Because he is responsible for your security, Guo Shenghua also asked me to pay attention to this data. He and I both felt that these two IPs from Germany and the UK were probably left behind intentionally by the other party."

Seeing that he was very serious, Ning Zimo nodded and responded, "I have also thought about this possibility, but my consideration is to ignore this issue and directly include the other party as an imaginary enemy who behaves like this."

There was no way to explain to Luo Dong what happened in his previous life. Naturally, Ning Zimo had no way to tell Luo Dong. He was familiar with Alando, a plagiarism-based company in his previous life; he was also familiar with Wen Luoshang's habitual "grabbing in the void"; and more

Familiar with the habitual attack and acquisition methods of the team behind Wen Luoshang.

But the current problem is easy to explain.

"We don't have time to figure out who our opponents are, let alone their intentions. But Wen Luoshang acquired MySpace, and Azteca, which Zhang Junhao connected with, also submitted its intention to acquire Skype to eBay.

So, on the one hand, we can test part of the other party's identity. On the other hand, I can also act as a trap to see if the other party can't help but jump into my advance arrangement."

???

Everyone was very curious, because they were watching their boss put together some unconfirmed news on the spot. Why did it suddenly appear that there was an extra temporary bag?

In full view of everyone, Ning Zimo made a phone call.

After a few words, everyone suddenly understood.

The great master temporarily weaved a huge net,

This net cannot help them not jumping in.

And as long as they jump in, their identities can indeed be determined!
