Rebirth of the Internet Overlord

When Ning Zimo opened his eyes and woke up, the room was so dark that he couldn't tell whether it was day or night for the first time. He reached out to turn on the light, glanced at the alarm clock next to the bed, and combined with the light from the curtains

bright light.

He realized that it was actually only 12:00 noon.

Ning Zimo sighed helplessly, feeling that he had a hard life. In the past 13 days, he worked 20 hours a day in the first 10 days, and he was even more exaggeratedly busy without sleep in the last 3 days. He was tired until he finished speaking.

"Counterattack Plan" and went to sleep, but who would have thought that he would wake up again after half a day. Now, when he fell down again, he was completely sleepless.

Her stomach growled in protest, and her body showed faint signs of weakness. Ning Zimo could only get up from the bed helplessly, walked to the living room, and saw a box on the dining table.

Inside the box is an egg sandwich!

Under the box was a note left by Pan Yu:

You need to eat something good after sleeping for two days, so I’ll give you a sandwich first. ps: The eBay store plan was aborted, we won!

Ning Zimo was dumbfounded,

I actually slept for two days!

Why did eBay fail so quickly?

After standing in a daze for a while, Ning Zimo grabbed the sandwich in the box and ate it, while thinking about why the failure arranged for eBay happened so quickly.

He knew that eBay would fail, and he knew that the appearance of his plug-in would definitely affect the layout of Paypal. But Ning Zimo didn't expect that Iron Lady would give in so quickly. This was simply unexpected, but at the same time, it was expected.

Speaking of which, in the years before rebirth in the previous life, public opinion became a vague indicator of getting rich on the Internet. Celebrities create a personality, and they can establish their own image even if they don't have very good works. Brand companies list a few selling points, even if

You can make a lot of money even if you don’t have a very good product. People from the media are anxious to open an article, and they can get a huge number of visits even if they cannot withstand logical scrutiny.

It seems that as long as the traffic is controlled by public opinion, considerable benefits will be obtained.

It can be said that it was a time when interests came first, an era of public opinion, and an era controlled by trolls. Even the human blood steamed buns, some people couldn't wait to take a few bites of them.

But who knows, these phenomena of public opinion and interests that appeared in the past life have actually been played by American Internet people as early as the early days of the Internet. It can be said that many of the things that Flowers have played with have been played badly by the American people, and have been used by American people.

A caring person dragged it back to plant flowers, put on a gorgeous shell and played with it again.

eBay is such a beneficiary. Early on, eBay established a free and fair platform persona for itself on the Internet. And with this persona, it attracted a large number of sellers and buyers who came here. And this free and fair platform

Personal design also helped them recruit many third-party engineers to provide services to their customers.

But slowly, eBay went astray. As it gradually grew and more people joined and even went public, they began to seek more profits and needed to eat into more derivative markets.

They have taken a fancy to the ebayswindler market, which can help eBay users reduce the trouble of being scammed;

They have taken a fancy to the Paypal market. In addition to providing more convenient payment methods, it can also provide security for users' transactions.

Logically speaking, there is nothing wrong with this, and it is even the normal way of development in this world.

It's just that eBay used the wrong method.

In order to cannibalize Paypal, they established the official brand "billpoint". However, "billpoint" is far from paypal in terms of rates and convenience of use. However, eBay insists on blocking paypal.

Stop, only "billpoint" is allowed to be used unilaterally.

This time, eBay is no longer what they claim to be - free and fair.

American Internet users in this era are not like the flower-growing netizens of previous lives, who could only accept the 3Q war. They will fight back and charge for the "freedom and fairness" they once had.

Ning Zimo also added fuel to the fire by taking out the "Trading Assistant", interspersed with "hungry marketing", "public opinion manipulation", "opinion leaders" and other marketing methods. Completely channeling dissatisfaction from sellers to buyers.

Home, directly shaking the foundation of eBay.

Water can carry a boat and also capsize it.

In the end, because eBay violated the "freedom and fairness" that they had defined for themselves early on, and because He Ning Zimo and the PayPal team were behind it, they had no choice but to flee in panic.

We will temporarily cancel updates for "ill-considered" store plans, and subsequent updates will consider the opinions of buyers and sellers and provide multiple payment methods for everyone to choose from.

eBay can only make this decision.

If you choose the wrong road, no matter how you go, it will be wrong.

It’s okay to sell characters!

only,

adult world,

Admit mistakes,

Stand still when being beaten.

In this way, with his first-hand non-technical operation, he was able to perfectly resolve the potential crisis of Paypal. Even within a period of time, before eBay made more comprehensive adjustments to "billpoint", eBay did not have the ability to use this method to counterattack.

Ability.

But as long as Ning Zimo is around, the existing gap between "billpoint" will gradually be enlarged. It will be so large that in PayPal's track in the payment field, "billpoint" will be left behind so that it can't even see the tail lights!

…

The sandwich made by Pan Yu was quite good. Ning Zimo chewed it slowly and finally felt the power spreading to all parts of his body.

In the afternoon when the heat is approaching, the midday sun shines lazily on the balcony.

A rhythmic guitar melody and a softly singing female voice came from next door.

Listening to the voice, there seems to be something familiar.

Time pulled each other, making Ning Zimo's hair jump with joy.

Ning Zimo couldn't help but keep up with the rhythm and nodded his head.

It turned out to be "you oughta know" by Alanis Morissette.

Since arriving in the United States, I have been busy for 13 days in a row, and I don’t have to go to work in the afternoon. Ning Zimo, who had nothing to do for a while, suddenly became interested and took out the guitar from the musical instrument room. Sitting by the door of the balcony, he suddenly found the

The ascending node started to talk along with the rhythm of the next door.

The sound of the guitar next door was not affected by him at all, but seemed to be inspired by it and became more energetic.

The rhythm of "you oughta know" is very cheerful. Ning Zimo was immersed in the pleasant melody for a while and couldn't help but sing out loud.

and i'm hereremind you

of the mess you left when you went away

and i'm hereremind you

of the mess you left when you went away it's not fairdeny me

of the cross i bear that you gave me

you, you, you oughta know

…

After singing the song, Ning Zimo's fingers and the partner he had never met unexpectedly stopped at the same time. The relief that had not appeared in a long time made Ning Zimo feel happy.

After all, the life of an engineer is still too monotonous. This rare change is like a gorgeous aurora, filling Ning Zimo's afternoon with bright colors.

For a moment, he felt itchy and curious about who the person playing the guitar next door could be. He wanted to take a look, but his abruptness just now had already affected others. Although they tried their best to cooperate with him, he had to stop in moderation, right?

Ning Zimo was wondering if he should stand up and say hello formally?

If not for this sudden tacit understanding, at least for the sake of politeness, right?

dong dong dong

The sudden knock on the door startled the unprepared Ning Zimo.

Since renting this house,

It seems that no one has ever heard a knock on the door.

Hey, Ning Zimo suddenly remembered.

It seems that he stayed in this house for one night after renting it. In the past ten days, the three of them moved their food and accommodation to the company for the project.

So, who could be knocking on the door?

Out of curiosity, Ning Zimo put aside what he had just speculated on. Then he straightened his clothes and went to open the door.

The person standing outside the door made Ning Zimo a little unprepared.

She was a voluptuous blonde girl whom we met once.

Was it her who played the guitar just now?

It seems a little embarrassing.

I remember her name was...

"Hi, Ning, we met once, Kelly."

Kelly folded her arms and waved to Ning Zimo, probably seeing that Ning Zimo didn't remember her name, and introduced herself again enthusiastically. But the sly smile hidden in her eyes made Ning Zimo always feel that she

Hiding something.

"You sing well." Seeing that Ning Zimo was stunned and didn't speak, Kelly smiled, raised her chin and praised.

He didn't mention the guitar, only the songs. Is his guitar skills being looked down upon? Ning Zimo scratched his head in embarrassment, "Hi, Kelly, I just had a whim, so I disturbed you. I'm very sorry."

"Oh, it's okay." Kelly shook her head nonchalantly, and immediately crossed her arms across her chest. If Ning Zimo hadn't focused on her face, he would have been caught by her shaking.

"You didn't disturb me, but you disturbed Winnie."

???

Winnie?

Her roommate?

Was she playing the guitar just now?

Ning Zimo felt that he was exhausted. The emotion that he had been brewing for a long time was wasted?

At this moment, Kelly measured her head for no reason. Ning Zimo felt that she was making a gesture, and was wondering what it meant. Suddenly, a delicate figure walked out from behind her.

Her long green-pink hair shows off her personality, but it cannot block her 360-degree face.

Ning Zimo was dumbfounded, and his whole body was frozen there!

No wonder Kelly felt so familiar when calling her.

No wonder her voice feels so familiar.

No wonder she plays the guitar quite well.

It's her!
