Wall Street Legend

Chapter 148 Signs (34)

Paul Kutcher was used to being casual. It was precisely because he knew the other person's character too well that Ye Dongqing had to say something ugly in advance to give him a reminder.

Having seen Xiao Zha's unlucky situation, Ye Dongqing doesn't want to be the one sitting at the hearing in the future. Issues such as data security and user privacy must be addressed from the beginning. The number of Facebook users is about to exceed 10 million. The influence of people cannot be underestimated, and the consequences will also be more serious, so we must be more careful.

In this regard, it is necessary to learn from Apple. This refers to the future Apple. Its recent performance is so bad that Ye Dongqing doesn't want to look at it, so as not to feel distressed by the amount of losses. Whether it is Kanike or Vigo, Many investors even sent emails asking why they had to buy this "junk stock."

As early as the beginning of the Internet bubble, Apple's stock price had fallen to the bottom, and it almost went bankrupt many times during this period. The bubble in the stock price was small enough to be ignored, so it was not affected by the stock market crash of the previous two years, and most retail investors were out. , only institutions and past shareholders are supporting it, and no one is even willing to change hands.

This has led to a slight improvement in Apple's stock price, and many institutions have sold off its shares. Recently, someone even came to the door and wanted to sell his Apple shares in the form of warrants. He felt that this would be enough. It can get rid of the bad energy from previous years.

For this kind of person, Ye Dongqing accepts all orders, regardless of the future. Judging from the current performance, Apple can hardly find any bright spots worthy of long-term investment. Speaking of PC manufacturers, Dell, HP, IBM and other companies are more popular than it, so it is normal for it not to be paid attention to.

Feeling that his words were a bit harsh, he looked at Paul and added: "Of course, as long as you follow the rules, I will never treat you badly. When Mr. Alfred comes back from Silicon Valley, I will ask him to find Let’s talk about it and arrange a suitable position. What do you think?”

"As long as the salary is higher than it is now, I don't care. Now you are almost becoming one of the shameless bastards. There is no need to worry that I will target you. After all, you even know where I live."

Paul shrugged indifferently and continued: "There is something I need to talk to you about. Recently I saw someone discussing this company on the dark web. It seems that someone found a loophole that allows you to log in to other people's accounts without entering a password. I’ll give you twenty thousand dollars to help you solve this problem.”

This issue deserves attention. Ye Dongqing didn't believe him, especially when it came to money. He called a small supervisor to ask and found that indeed a user had recently complained that personal information had been tampered with and posted unfamiliar messages. Tell Paul: "I'll give you a deposit of five thousand dollars first, and I'll give you the rest after you finish processing."

Sure enough, he was a little bastard. Paul ignored him and went out to find a computer. Then Ye Dongqing saw him tapping on it. After a few minutes, he came back and told him: "I have helped you fix the loopholes. It's best to give him cash or check." That’s okay too.”

"...Could it be the loophole you discovered?"

"How is that possible? I just happened to find the same vulnerability as others. After I saw the news on the dark web, I helped you come up with a remedy."

Worried that Ye Dongqing would catch him if he admitted, Paul would not admit it anyway and lied seriously.

No matter what the facts are, it is a good thing to close the loopholes. Ye Dongqing shook his head and said, "Wait until those people are sure that there is no problem before I give you money. Don't worry, I won't be reluctant to part with 20,000 US dollars, okay?"

Paul then made an OK gesture and sent out another message: "When you give me the money, I will tell you a few more loopholes. To be honest, the technology of these people is indeed a bit bad. You should spend more money to hire them again." A group of people……"

After he left, Ye Dongqing called Facebook's current security director, named Mark, who was only twenty-seven years old.

When discussing issues related to program security, Mark told him: "I know there are still some problems, but there are not enough manpower, and the time for the program to go online is too short. The number of users suddenly increased. We are already so busy that we are in a hurry, even if we work overtime. It’s also difficult to deal with all the issues.

Director Alfred and I have also discussed your concerns. Give us some time, and it will become more and more complete and secure. Oracle's data management technology is quite good. The situation will improve after our own servers come online. , will be optimized for these aspects. "

Only their peers knew about the software engineers. Ye Dongqing occasionally heard them discussing certain issues, almost as if they were talking to aliens. Fortunately, as a boss, it is good to be rich, and he can pay for specific jobs. People help.

During the chat, I suddenly received a call from Ms. Vigo. After answering the call, I learned that there was a big mess in the crude oil futures. Just over half an hour ago, the price of crude oil suddenly fell by two percentage points. The reason was that Washington officially He gave a speech about war mobilization.

The Oval Office wants to maintain the stability of the base camp, so it must inform the public in advance.

This is great news for Ye Dongqing. Judging from the two wars in the 1990s, regional turmoil should lead to a rise in oil prices for a period of time. The two turmoils in the Gulf and Kosovo successfully reduced crude oil prices. The price is sent to a high point.

However, this time is different. With the experience during the Gulf War, no one thinks how long the other side can last under the fire of the United States. What will follow will be an increase in oil production, and the balance of supply and demand will be broken. With more quantities, the price of oil will naturally increase. Down, smart people saw this key point, so they sold and shorted crude oil futures orders, which led to the rapid decline just now.

There is a difference between the time point and the previous life. Ye Dongqing thinks it is mainly because of himself. Now, both Tamsui Investment Group and Facebook have affected the life trajectories of too many people, causing what is happening now to be changed and become incomplete from the previous life. same.

This is not the point. The point is that oil prices began to fall off a cliff. I hurriedly drove back to Puchuan Tower in Midtown. After entering the office, Ms. Vigo rushed over. In just over ten minutes, the oil price dropped by more than 20 cents. The red lines on the screen are very beautiful in his eyes, and he has already received more than 20 million US dollars!

Little Edward is doing "sports" and he is so rich that the money-worshiping girls ignore his appearance.

The cell phone placed by the window kept ringing, one after another. Finally, I couldn't help but answer it, and said angrily: "What the hell! What's going on!?"

"Boss, the price of oil is falling now. It has dropped by 3.3% in fifty minutes. I think it is necessary to tell you..."
