Rebirth of the Internet Overlord
0510. You have me
February 14, 2009 is Valentine's Day in the West. It stands to reason that people should stay with their significant other on such a bright spring day, or actively plan a romantic candlelight dinner that night.
But what was supposed to be a romantic day turned out to be another scene in the open-air Freedom Garden of the World Trade Center in Manhattan at 2 noon in the United States.
Today, this world-class press center is packed with people. Those who were supposed to create romance gathered here, eagerly looking forward to the upcoming press conference in this venue.
Among this crowded crowd, Wall Street Journal reporter David Doom sat firmly. He waited quietly, not at all as anxious as those around him.
Since 2002, David Doom has been following Internet projects.
PayPal and Yahu Mall that year.
Another year of LinkedIn, MySpace and Skype.
Later, Bing and YouTube, as well as all the reports on Spark Technology and Yugong Technology, and even Yang Zhiyuan's revelations about the Silicon Valley genius were all written by him.
After all, David Doom feels that his attention to these people who are closely related to PayPal has brought him considerable rewards. At least from a small editor to the position of editor-in-chief, his status in the Wall Street Journal has also increased.
More and more stable.
Today, the host of this conference is Yugong Technology.
Less than half a year or 195 days later, Yugong Technology is about to release a new product today after releasing iPhone Zero.
David Doom has established contact with Yugong Technology since last year, and some information was only delivered to him at this level, allowing him to sit back and wait for the "show" to begin.
It's just that the message wasn't detailed enough, so while he looked calm on the outside, he was pondering in his heart.
When he was slightly distracted, he heard a lively discussion among several people around him.
"Do you think Yugong Technology will consider going on the market after this product launch?"
"Emmm... It's hard to say. After all, Yugong Technology is a special branch of the Emperor Penguin family. It is a new platform independent of Internet projects. Even if it is not listed in the near future, it will not affect its future status."
Hearing someone's judgment like this, David Doom glanced at that person and agreed with it in his heart.
In January this year, LinkedIn, YouTube, ACS, Facebook and Twitter all submitted listing applications. Since the shareholders behind these companies are Ning Zimo, the industry currently refers to them collectively as the "Emperor Penguin System."
Probably in response to the combination of MySpace and Skype, the Emperor Penguin series took less than one month from submission to actual listing.
Just last week, this series of Emperor Penguin-type Internet companies were listed on the Nasdaq at a rate of one per day.
Although it is not an elite market, Wall Street, Silicon Valley and even the entire United States are very enthusiastic about the stocks of Emperor Penguin Internet companies. Even though the stocks of these Emperor Penguin Internet companies do not show the strength of Bing, they are also very popular.
All show their strong upward trend.
It’s just the time from listing to closing,
LinkedIn, which was listed on Monday, has grown from an estimated market value of US$15 billion based on the issue price to US$19 billion, an increase of 26% on the day.
The value of ACS listed on Tuesday increased from US$8 billion to US$11.2 billion, an increase of 40% that day.
The value of oil pipelines listed on Wednesday increased from US$30 billion to US$36.9 billion, an increase of 23% on the day.
Facebook, which went public on Thursday, saw a 45% increase in market capitalization to US$43.5 billion.
Twitter, which was listed on the last day of last week, grew by 30%, reaching 26 billion US dollars!
987+57+33+110+261+150
Within a week, the Emperor Penguin series became famous and became a hot investment project on Wall Street and even in the United States.
And this wave of madness has brought the names Emperor Penguin and Ning Zimo into more people's sights.
Because no matter what, Ning Zimo, the major shareholder in charge of Emperor Penguin and the two largest American social networks, also holds nearly half of the shares of the search giant Bing. Moreover, he also holds LinkedIn, ACS
, 30% stake in Internet projects such as YouTube.
If it weren't for his listing, his net worth on Nasdaq, worth more than 160 billion U.S. dollars, might have been hidden by him.
And it is precisely the news that this world has been released to the public, so that his identity as the emperor penguin alpha wolf and the overlord of the Internet can only be announced to the public.
But the impact of this is that his every move is in the eyes of the world.
No, a lot of people came to Yugong Technology’s new product launch conference this year.
David Doom knew that half of the people here came because of this person's identity.
They pay more attention to breaking news like whether Yugong Technology will consider going public, just like the young reporter just paid attention to.
No, once this topic is started, it will be a lively scene.
“I think the launch is certain, it’s just a matter of time.” One person said, “Yugong Technology officially started selling products in August last year. But it only took 4 months. Unlike traditional mobile phone brands, Yugong Technology only relies on
With just one iPhone, nearly 30 million smartphones have been sold around the world.
Although Apple’s mobile phone, which changed its release date last year, followed closely behind, the sales volume of less than 5 million units during the same period used a near-failure data to once again prove the success of iPhone Zero, the ‘first smartphone’!”
"Yeah, he is a genius from our Silicon Valley. The ability of this emperor penguin master is extraordinary."
A genius from Silicon Valley?
David Doom burst into laughter when he heard this.
Because of Yahoo's former spiritual leader Yang Zhiyuan, Ning Zimo was labeled as a "genius who escaped from Silicon Valley".
But everyone who really understands knows that the young man who dominates the Internet in the United States is a real Chinese. The "genius who escaped from Silicon Valley" is just the last piece left by the Chinese after their own companies were defeated in the country.
A fig leaf!
After all, using Bing to defeat Google, using iPhone Zero to defeat Apple, and using ACS and Office Cloud to compete with Microsoft cannot be said openly.
"30 million units is a sales volume of more than 15 billion US dollars!"
"I'm afraid you have forgotten iPhoore's software revenue." One person answered, "December data shows that iPhoore sold 15 million copies of various software at an average order price of 11.5 US dollars. In this part alone, Yugong Technology has
Can earn 50 million net income!"
"Yeah, 50 million net income a month is just in the form of commission. The application software trend started by iPhone Zero is likely to be the trend of smart phones in the future!"
"Does this need to be said?" Another person jumped out, "Now Microsoft, BlackBerry, Nokia, Motorola, and Samsung have all announced their own smartphone projects. After these big companies took action, the old-era mobile phones were basically eliminated.
"
"Then you think, after these big companies come in, will Yugong Technology's position in smartphones be affected?"
"What impact do traditional companies have on Yugong Technology?" The person who jumped out raised his eyebrows and glared, "Is there something wrong with what you said? After all, in addition to Microsoft, Black Devil has its own mobile operating system, including Nokia, Motorola, and Samsung.
These big names have all joined the Spark Technology Android System Alliance.
If there really is a war on smartphones, then the real enemies on both sides of the battlefield should be Spark Technology and Yugong Technology, right!?"
"No way? I think the head of Spark has some ambiguity with the genius who left Silicon Valley. How could he be a competitor?" One person smiled mysteriously, "In today's press conference, I heard that
Miss Li is also here..."
"Hey, that genius is really awesome. I heard that he has been flying frequently between China and the United States recently, and it seems that he has been exposed to the news that he has two girlfriends..."
"If we add this female boss, we will have three girlfriends..."
"Tsk, tsk, we really don't understand the happiness of rich people..."
The moment the topic was taken astray, David Doom felt that he could no longer listen.
What three girlfriends!
They are true business partners.
At the end of January, Spark joined forces with traditional brands including Nokia, Motorola, and Samsung, as well as Chinese brands such as Huawei, OPPO, BBK, and Xiaomi, to officially announce the release of Android smartphones this year.
Judging from the scene at the time, Ning Zimo's presence did indicate that there was some connection between Yugong Technology and Spark. However, a closer analysis shows that it was completely the result of the two founders of smartphone systems joining forces to forcefully promote smartphones.
business conduct.
As a result, in the eyes of these people, it becomes a charming and complicated relationship!
David Doom sighed slightly and continued to sit quietly on the stool waiting for the start of the press conference.
After all, this is the home of the Silicon Valley genius and Internet overlord, and his behavior has always been this way.
You never know what he is doing until the last moment.
But by the time you know it, you may no longer have the ability to catch up with him.
…
Dong Dong Dong,
When there was a knock on the door, Ning Zimo, who was sitting in front of the mirror in a daze, was pushed by Dong Qianqian before he could react. He suddenly turned his head and saw that the person walking into the dressing room was Li Ying.
Before he could say hello, Dong Qianqian took her long-time makeup artist out the door.
Then,
throughout the house,
Only he and Li Ying were left.
Their eyes met, and when she saw the tiredness on Ning Zimo's face, Li Ying frowned and walked over slowly as she looked at him.
Sensing her worry, Ning Zimo quickly put on a smile and said, "What's wrong? You just announced the good news of the Android system last month. You won't encounter any big problems at this time."
At the end of January, OPPO, Xiaomi, Huawei and other brands took advantage of the popularity of Spark and Nokia, Motorola, Samsung and other major brands to release Android phones, and took the opportunity to announce plans to launch Android smartphones.
At this point, Ning Zimo plans to take the second step in all layouts in the smartphone era with the iPhone Zero of Yugong Technology and the Android system of Spark Technology.
Although he has been traveling between the two places recently, matters including the listing of the company in which he holds shares are already a certainty.
And this kind of topic was the only way he could bring it up to distract Li Ying.
However, Li Ying looked at him without saying anything and still walked slowly.
Until she slowly put her hands on his shoulders, the two of them looked at each other in the mirror.
In the end, he could only let his chest, which he had stood up hard, sink together with his shoulders.
"Isn't it tiring to travel between places like this?" Li Ying looked into Ning Zimo's eyes through the mirror and asked softly, "Has Shengnan's condition gotten better?"
Ning Zimo's fingers trembled slightly, but the corners of her mouth slightly raised, "It's okay. Although she spent a lot of energy in transition in the past few years, she has been resting since the end of December last year. I think... everything
Everything will get better slowly."
Feeling the hand on his shoulder move slightly, Ning Zimo's attention turned there unconsciously.
After spending such a long time with Li Ying, they were very familiar with each other. However, his two girlfriends were his limit, and he must not let his most tacit partner of the opposite sex get involved.
At the end, he hurriedly smiled and said, "Fortunately, I didn't stop doing things at work. I was finally able to make it in time for today's press conference."
The hand on the shoulder moved again, and Li Ying in the mirror also tilted her head slightly.
After a long while, she whispered again, "Actually, after the Emperor Penguin series was launched, there are many things that you no longer need to do personally. Whether it is Mike Zafirovsky or Andy Rubin, any of them
Anyone can complete the future tasks of smartphones on your behalf.”
Two pairs of eyes look at each other in the mirror.
It took a long time for Li Ying to speak again, "Your girlfriends are all girls, so you can't always let them take the initiative in relationships. Although you say they are all your girlfriends in name, you keep dragging them like this.
In your current tired state, doesn't it look like suffering in their eyes?"
Looking at Ning Zimo and smiling, Li Ying said softly, "Who vowed to have two girlfriends in the first place? Why are you hiding at work when they all need you by their side?"
"I..." Ning Zimo was speechless for a moment and could only sigh slightly, "I selfishly wanted to keep them all... but I never considered the consequences... Linlin is avoiding me now... I
I'm afraid she will refuse..."
After Christmas, Sima Lin finally met Ling Shengnan who was undergoing chemotherapy with Ning Zimo. That day was supposed to be a world of two, but because of Ning Zimo's selfish choice, it became a journey of three.
But, he had no choice.
The match required by Ling Shengnan's condition was almost a hopeless hope, but he just didn't want to listen to her opinion and left her aside to choose the other end of the scale.
But such a choice of his would definitely hurt Sima Lin on the other side, so that after Christmas, she drifted back to China quietly and never heard from her again.
"If you can't escape, you will eventually have to face it. Shouldn't adults be responsible for their own choices?" Li Ying looked at him and said,
"But...it's not easy to deal with." Ning Zimo's head was as big as two.
This is a decision he wants to stick to, but feelings are never a matter of one person, let alone three people here?
"But you are a man, and you must carry on the choice you have made." Li Ying said firmly, "You have done better in your career, but emotionally you have taken the initiative to make unconventional choices, so you have to be like you in the past.
If you do well in your career, you can carry it like that!"
Listening to Li Ying's accentuated words, Ning Zimo lowered his head silently.
Seeing his dejected look, Li Ying couldn't bear it.
Dong Dong Dong,
The knock on the door sounded again.
"Zimo, it's almost time to take the stage."
Dong Qianqian's voice came from outside the door, and Ning Zimo stood up when he heard the sound.
His mechanical movements inevitably made Li Ying frown again.
Finally, she reached out and grabbed his sleeve.
Ning Zimo turned around in confusion, but felt a black shadow coming over him.
"You have to run your love like you run your business, because no matter what, I want you to be well~~So, you have to take good care of yourself and them~~"
The soft words flashed past my ears, and not even 3 seconds later, the figure who had just been so close had already opened the door and walked out.
In the blink of an eye, the independent and independent woman had drifted away.
Ning Zimo was suddenly the only one left in the room, standing there in a daze.
Always,
After thinking about it for a long time...
…
"Welcome to today's Yugong Technology new product launch conference. My name is Mike Zafirovsky. Today I will be with my partner..."
"I am Andy Rubin. Today, we will show you Yugong Technology's ground-breaking smart tablet computer - iPad..."
In the open-air Freedom Garden of the World Trade Center in Manhattan, the new Yugong Technology product that the world has been waiting for has finally been unveiled.
A new generation of Antarctic core, 3G and Wifi modules can be freely selected and matched, 16G of storage space, and a larger screen to enjoy. This "smart tablet" is very thin. In terms of appearance, it is even thinner than the iPhone Zero.
thickness.
Therefore, when the large-size smart tablet with silver metallic luster made its debut, the entire press conference was shocked.
But in the sensational crowd, while this new product seemed to be shining brightly, David Doom's attention was not on the two people in the center of the stage.
Although he knew that the two were the CEO and CTO of Yugong Technology, and although he knew that the two large-screen smart tablets in their hands were epoch-making products, David Doom was still curious about the sudden change of the main publisher.
Pay more attention to the product itself.
At this critical moment when Yugong Technology once again leads the world, where is the genius who fled Silicon Valley?
***+***
Ning Zimo left, and after leaving the dressing room, he captured Mike Zafirovsky and Andy Rubin.
All the way to Maryland, he kept shouting in his heart.
Although he arrived very late, he still insisted on getting on the bus to the hospital.
Looking at the scene outside the window that kept moving backward, he finally realized that he was still moving forward.
Isn't this enough?
Even if you are a reborn person, there are many things in the future that you still don’t know what will happen to you.
Looking left and right, looking forward and backward, should not be what you do at this time.
Since he made a greedy choice as an adult, he must shoulder the corresponding responsibilities. Even if the identity of the "scumbag" is confirmed, he must be the one who stands at the forefront and protects the two girlfriends behind him.
These days, his career has once again improved, which almost gave him a reason to avoid. But whether it is career or love, when people face real life, there is no place or reason to avoid. In this case, why should he?
Use work to numb yourself.
Especially at the critical moment when Ling Shengnan needs someone's company the most, does he still have to wait for other people's salvation?
With so many thoughts swirling in his heart, Ning Zimo suppressed all the emotions back in his heart just before he opened the door of the ward.
The door opened, and a gust of cool breeze blew in, making the curtain next to it dance with it.
With their eyes facing each other, Ling Shengnan, who was sitting on the bed, looked at Ning Zimo, who shouldn't have been here today, and his complicated expression suddenly turned into confusion.
"I'm still curious about why you're not here on such an important day today." Pointing to the computer screen next to him, Ling Shengnan smiled and said, "After doing this for a long time, are you running away from the battle?"
"Yes, I ran away." Ning Zimo quickly stepped forward and took Ling Shengnan's hand, kneeling on one knee in front of the hospital bed, "There are many things that people in the group can do, why should I hide there?
"
Ling Shengnan looked at the man in front of her curiously. After a long time, she smiled and said, "Finally you don't want to hide anymore."
"I won't hide anymore," Ning Zimo said firmly, "Whether it's you or Linlin, I must take the corresponding responsibility when I make a choice. I can't just tell you that I will do this while hiding at work.
Like an ostrich inside."
"Hey, you actually know your recent state."
"I know..." Ning Zimo felt ashamed, "It's just that I haven't dared to really face it."
"Then why did you say 'two girlfriends' in the first place?"
Ling Shengnan's eyes wandered, and finally his eyes met Ning Zimo's.
Sighing slightly, Ning Zimo whispered, "Before I met you, I had a dream. In the dream, we got along very harmoniously together, but in the end you left me without leaving a word.
go.
Two days after I woke up from the dream, I ran into you as a young man at the Xinhua Bookstore in Hanzhong. When you came up from the side and asked me to help you pick up the book, I knew that my fate was inadvertently entangled with you.
.”
Bits and pieces of getting along with Ling Shengnan in his two lives flashed through his mind, and Ning Zimo couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Originally, I thought that I would have a new life from then on. But I never thought that the pictures I had woven in my mind would still be there.
It didn’t unfold, but you left there for some reasons..."
"I……"
Ling Shengnan opened his mouth slightly, but swallowed the next words immediately.
Looking at her hesitant expression, Ning Zimo tightened his grip and continued:
"I don't blame you for leaving, because I know people have no choice but to do so. I just want to tell you that after you left, I was the one who messed up my regular life.
I should have been keeping my expectations high, but from the moment Linlin tried to help me block the smashed computer case with her body, she inadvertently moved my heart, and then left a shadow.
Although I quickly escaped from Hanzhong, I, being such a proud person, still messed up my feelings and even hurt another girl."
"Little Queen?"
"Well," Ning Zimo nodded sadly, thinking of what Li Ying had just said, he was very upset, "Actually, except for the unavoidable youth period in life, there is no so-called forced choice after entering the adult world. I
All the chaos now is because I did something wrong from the beginning."
Looking up at Ling Shengnan, Ning Zimo smiled sadly, "There is no forced choice because of repeated mistakes. It is because of my repeated successful careers that greed has risen in my seemingly calm personality. Although I don't want to admit it.
, but in my heart I did have a dream that I didn’t want to miss you nor Linlin.”
"So~~you sneaked out today to prepare~~?"
Ling Shengnan looked at Ning Zimo with a complicated expression, his eyebrows still furrowed together.
Seeing her frown, Ning Zimo thought for a long time and finally said bravely: "I want us to be together! Ning Zimo, Ling Shengnan, Sima Lin, I want us to be together!"
"You are too greedy~~" Ling Shengnan smiled.
"I know," Ning Zimo smiled bitterly, "but this is my only greed."
"Do you want to act a sad drama and ask a patient to agree to it?"
"I just...want to face you with the real me, and then ask for your consent respectively."
"Then what if neither I nor Linlin agree?"
"Then I will stay by your side until you agree!"
"Your company doesn't want it anymore."
"I don't love the country but the beauty."
"You're such a shameless person! If there's no one like you, you're an adult and you're still just like a child."
Ling Shengnan angrily wanted to take his hand out of Ning Zimo's hand, but he didn't expect that no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't defeat the person in front of her who was focused on cheating.
Ning Zimo grabbed her hand tightly and said firmly, "I have made a mistake and have no choice. No matter which one I choose, I will hurt the other one."
"Then you have to get the best of both worlds and hurt both of us to fulfill your dream?"
"I don't think I'm doing any harm by keeping you all with me."
"You're a swindler!" Ling Shengnan glared at Ning Zimo and said leisurely after a long time, "But I don't have much time left, why can't you just follow what I said and stay with Linlin?"
Ning Zimo smiled sadly again when he heard this, "You are all too smart. I can never hide another person around you. So, she knows your existence, and I don't want to lie to her."
"Isn't it okay if I just leave quietly? Why do you have to be so shameless and ask me to agree?"
"Because I want to have a family." Ning Zimo twitched his sour nose and grinned, "Because I am so greedy that you will be taken care of by me for the rest of your life."
"Are you the devil?"
"ah?"
Ning Zimo looked at the tearful Ling Shengnan with a blank expression. He ignored her escaping words and reached out his hand to gently wipe away the tears hanging from her eyes.
After a long time, he murmured, "You see, I am actually greedy and domineering. It's just that you didn't know it when I wore a mask before. But this is the real me, and I hope you can all accept this."
I."
"You~~ did it~~ for me~~, right~~"
"I'm too greedy," Ning Zimo pinched Sima Lin's nose and said with a smile, "I do it for myself."
The tearful Sima Lin let the tears run down her face, but she immediately became proud, "But I still care about the little queen's affairs."
"Ah?" Ning Zimo smiled bitterly, "Then how are you going to punish me?"
"I don't know Linlin, but I really mind that while you were thinking about us, you not only became her boyfriend, but also wrote a song for her." Ling Shengnan pouted and said, "Unless you can do it for us in one day
Write a song. Maybe~~I can even beg Linlin for you."
"ah?"
The wind sounded behind me, making the curtains rustle.
This slight movement actually made Ning Zimo upset.
At this time today, he had sincerely made all kinds of preparations. Thinking of his shameless plan, he fell into the trap of his ex-girlfriend.
Writing songs?
I'm afraid it's not plagiarism, right?
I wanted to pry a corner with my true feelings, but I didn’t want to end up using tricks to win people’s hearts?
"If I really sing a song now, are you sure you can agree?" Ning Zimo smiled bitterly.
"Well," Sima Lin nodded firmly, the corners of her red eyes raised slightly, "Anyway, you're a fool, and I'll be the same."
"Ahem" Ning Zimo cleared his throat, "Then I'll sing now!"
"Well, I'll ask Linlin to agree after you finish singing."
"Tch, just promise me. I have to get Linlin's consent myself!"
"Greedy!"
"snort!"
Seeing the two bickering like children, Ning Zimo Aojiao burst into laughter within a second.
After a pause, he stopped laughing and said, "I really sang."
"Do you still want me to beat the time for you?"
Seeing that her face, which had just been full of emotions, became relaxed, Ning Zimo finally calmed down.
After more than 7 years of rebirth, he finally found his own love.
Although this is a relationship that is difficult to bless, he hopes that he and the people around her can be treated gently by the world after he has made many efforts.
For a moment, he remembered the movie that had been deeply impressed in his mind.
Finally, my thoughts came together at this moment.
Turned into lyrics and music, flowing out of his mouth
…
Do you learn to grow up only after you have been alone?
Do you know how to care after being separated?
If friends are not afraid of being scattered around the world
But right now I want to be by your side
If the world is complicated, false and noisy
I run to you with everything I have
Even if it's far away, I will definitely arrive.
If you say stupid things, get drunk and lie
I run to you with everything I have
Even if it's far away, I will definitely arrive.
You have me, oh
I'm here woo
…
If all you have left is scars and armor of struggle
I run to you with everything I have
No matter how small, no one should be alone
You have me, oh
You have me, oh
I'm here woo
I'm here woo
…
A gust of wind blew by again, and the curtains were blown apart due to the force of the wind, revealing the figure hiding inside.
Sima Lin slowly walked out from behind the curtain, looking at the figure whose voice had gradually lost its shape.
She couldn't stop the tears in her eyes, but she persisted and slowly leaned forward.
She didn't cry out until her cheek was pressed against his stiff shoulder.
"You have me~~and the boy~~We will be together~~I won't let my sister go~~"
When a familiar voice appeared in his ears, Sima Lin's huge amount of information made Ning Zimo unbelievable for a moment.
When he looked sideways, he realized that the person hugging him behind him was indeed her.
But he never understood what she meant by her words.
But in the end, the side face hugging him behind her turned into the same face as the pear-shaped face in front of her.
For a moment, he felt that time and space were distorted as he passed through rebirth.
