Chapter 19 System Punishment

Finally, after the torturous New Year holiday, everyone who was supposed to go to work went to work.

Most importantly, the people above got to work.

Lin Hai from Jushi Technology and MC from TT Technology were invited to have tea.

The tea is not good tea, but this kind of tea is not something ordinary people are qualified to drink.

Anyway, after I don’t know how many drinks I had, the two major companies shook hands and made peace, but they were at odds with each other.

The respective software is forced to continue running happily on the user's computer. The media's sense of smell is very sensitive, and it understands and stops jumping around.

Afterwards, Cao Shen received the withdrawal of the lawsuit from TT Technology and received a "letter of apology" displayed on the official website.

In the letter of apology, an intern appeared. Because of his lack of solid professional skills and unfamiliarity with the work process, he made misoperations, which led to this oolong "lawyer's letter" incident.

TT Company has now canceled the internship qualification of this intern.

We also apologize for the impact of this incident on Tongcao Technology.

Although the letter was poorly written, it launched a new career:

"The intern takes the blame"

The popularity of this profession in the future will be second only to the new skill "hand sliding" that will appear in the future.

At the same time, in the letter, TT Technology did not forget to exploit every opportunity and emphasized in righteous words that it is a supporter of the Internet spirit.

And within two days, two giant blue banners were hung on the facade of TT Technology Headquarters:

Equality and openness;

Collaborate and share;

This photo also bought media notices and posted them all over the Internet.

The banner on the official homepage of TT Technology has also been changed. It scrolls these four words in turn, making it look like it wants to be the spokesperson of Bazi.

However, the capital market is very honest, or money is very honest.

They didn't drink tea, so naturally they wouldn't pay for it.

Completely ignore this series of pretentious remedial work by TT Technology.

Haha, it’s okay to deceive children, but it’s not okay to deceive money!

As a result, TT Technology's stock price continued to fall, falling for a week in a row, resulting in the evaporation of US$7.7 billion in market value.

Until TT Technology hurriedly announced that it would launch new products:

TT open platform.

The stock price barely stabilized.

At this point, TT Technology's market value has dropped to US$25 billion, fluctuating slightly here.

Tongcao Technology posted TT’s letter of apology on the homepage of its official website.

The customer's doubts were dispelled, and investors began to send text messages to Cao Shen every now and then to boost their favorability.

The system's business is better and it is forced to open every day.

Cao Shen said that he is just a newbie and wants to quietly release a product and take advantage of the system.

Did I earn your money, steal your wife, or beat your baby?

You must come here to touch porcelain!

have a look,

Bo!

Billions of dollars were just gone. I felt so sad!

Finally, no one jumped out to disgust him for the time being, and he could go all out to stay alive.

The office of Technology Deep Throat is on the tenth floor of the apartment where Cao Shen lives.

There are now sixteen official editors, four of whom are old editors who have switched jobs.

There are also twelve operations, which are responsible for four sections: application downloads, TUTU game applications, UP main area and slot god is coming.

Cao Shen adheres to the principle of three people doing the work of five people and paying four people's wages. The salary is quite attractive among peers.

What's more, technological deep throating is unique and is the hottest thing in the entire technological media.

Due to his deep complaining style, reporters have to be a little more aggressive when going out, mainly because they are afraid of being blacklisted.

No, technological deepthroat is inherently dark, but please don’t stand out too darkly and tremble.

Zhang Beixin is now not only the general manager, but also has the title of editor-in-chief, in charge of technology deep throat work.

She was busy all day long, but she still didn't see Cao Shen at all.

Oh, except that day in the video.

I guess Cao Shen has another "nest" focusing on product and technology research and development!

You also need to have a dedicated APP outsourcing team!

Look, hundreds of apps have popped up recently, all of which are outsourced development services provided by Tongcao Technology. His team must have nearly a thousand people...

Why is this little junior brother so capable?

As a senior sister, I must not hold back!

If she can't do her best in product and research and development, then she must master the technology of deepthroating!

Therefore, Zhang Beixin spent all day thinking about how to do it well.

After thinking about it, she came up with a bold idea...

Since Tongcao Technology only provides APP outsourcing for “information websites”, most of these new APPs are mainly media and community applications.

Thanks to Cao Shen's blessing, various news clients and community applications sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.

The apps on users’ mobile phones suddenly became richer, allowing them to browse news, discuss forums, make appointments and so on.

Since the difficulty of APP development has suddenly decreased, a large number of entrepreneurs have emerged.

Qian Ming has been extremely busy recently, looking at projects everywhere, and exclaimed excitedly:

“Finally, enough is enough for entrepreneurs!”

Cao Shen is still focused on making money, and he is preparing for a big event...

The only staff member of the "thousand-person team", the system, is working hard under the squeeze of Cao Shen.

【Ding! Host, are you involved in the matter of TT Technology and Giant Lion Technology? 】

"I guess so." Cao Shen was busy with his work and didn't even bother to move his head.

[When did you get involved! ] The system was shocked.

Didn't Cao Ze just post a video and post an apology letter from TT Technology...

When and how did he get involved!

As a system, I didn't even notice it!

Cao Shen suddenly paused, something was wrong!

"Do you have any bad news to tell me?"

[...]

[How do you know! ]

[No, there is one good news and one bad news.

Well, there was a sudden settlement...

Which one do you want to hear first? ]

"Sudden settlement? Wait, the rules were not made by you?"

[The rules were set long ago and triggered by the event]

"Then why is it a sudden settlement? It seems that you are very surprised."

[I don't know what you have done, and the impact of the event needs time to ferment, and statistics and calculations also need time. You won't tell me what you are going to do in advance, and I can't calculate it in advance.

Just like this time, when did you get involved! 】

"Oh, forget it if you don't know. Don't waste computing resources on things you don't understand. Just be a cloud server and run applications for me."

Damn Cao!

The system is a little crazy. It's so curious about things that only know the results but not the process!

【Which one do you want to hear first? 】

"It's definitely not good news if you say it. Just pick it up and say it."

【Then tell me the good news first...】The system was shrugged.

【Jushi Technology's original valuation of 1.2 billion US dollars was not accepted, but after this incident, the IPO valuation became 1.6 billion US dollars.

Today is the first day of the stock listing. Just now, the closing price increased by 92% compared with the issue price.

So according to the settlement, you have gained one year of life and 13.1 million RMB.

The monetary income this time is calculated based on one thousandth of the valuation increase.

So, how did you do it! 】

Cao Shen was very calm, because he knew that there must be another extremely bad news waiting for him!

"Say the bad one!"

[The bad news is that your behavior caused TT Technology's market value to evaporate by 7.7 billion US dollars.

Considering that he was the first to act, you only need to bear 0.03% of the loss, that is, a fine of 16.17 million yuan, and deduct 483 days of life. ]

"So I lost 118 days of life! And lost 3.07 million!" Cao Shen roared.

[Uh... yes]

"So, the biggest beneficiary of this incident is Lin Hai, and the one who suffered the most is me!"

[Uh... TT Technology's market value evaporated by 7.7 billion US dollars] The system reminded and comforted with a more miserable one.

"TT was the first to act! I am the victim! System, are you unreasonable?" Cao Shen was not comforted.

[Uh... you are indeed a victim, but there is a limit to counterattack.

Just like in your world, there is also a limit to self-defense.

If you let TT's market value evaporate within 6.2 billion US dollars this time, you will actually still make money, right?

Hehehe...]

The system laughed awkwardly three times, feeling a little guilty for no reason.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier that there was a punishment!"

[I told you that when you first received the R&F investment reward.

"The impact caused by the host's complaints will have benefits or penalties"]

"Why didn't you tell me the specific punishment!"

[The impact of each thing is unpredictable, and the penalties are different depending on the impact. I can't calculate it in advance.

And I don't even know what you did to cause such a big impact, I can't stop you. ]

Cao Shen narrowed his eyes: "Can the life value deduction be exchanged for money?"

[I really can't...]

"It feels like you are here to kill me!

Do you want to plant my life on yourself and give me a living person another day?"

[...]

"Did I say it?!!"

[Don't think too much, I'm just a golden finger...]

"Golden finger? Black finger is almost the same!"

[I'm still useful!

Look at how many apps I made for you!

Look at how many files I have to compress every day!

Look at how much news I have to read every day!

Look at how many accounts are sending me messages now!

Do you know how much dog food is stuffed into my brain!

Do you know how many embarrassing pictures I have to see all day long!

I'm almost a dirty system! 】

"Call me daddy!"

[What? 】

"If you are a living person in the future, I gave you your life, so you must call me daddy!"

[Your initial life was also given by me, so shouldn't you call me mommy, call me mommy! 】

"I'm just laughing at you, mother, how much life you gave me! Thirty minutes! All the rest is earned by me!"

[Dad! 】

Cao Shen:...

"I don't have a deadly child like you!"

[Uh, host!

I need to remind you that your current life value is only 23 hours and 10 minutes...]

"Damn! I hate you!"

[Dad! 】

"Get lost!"

Wang Hua received Zhao Yong's task and wanted to have a good relationship with Cao Shen.

But there has been no progress. First of all, he saw that Cao Shen was releasing new products one after another. He must be very busy and was too shy to interrupt.

Secondly, Cao Shen was immediately involved in the TT Technology lawsuit. He must have been very distressed, and he did not dare to disturb it.

But in the final analysis, it’s just one word, coward!

If Cao Shen was just an ordinary school student, Wang Hua would not hesitate and go boldly.

But seeing that the people I interviewed were getting higher and higher, and I didn't have much to offer, I really didn't know how to harass them.

Interests need to be exchanged, although the boss has said that when the time comes, Cao Shen will be asked to be Guangda Capital's consultant.

But after Wang Hua weighed this matter, it seemed that Guangda's consultant was not attractive either.

Cao Shen even refused acquisitions and investments, so he was definitely not short of money.

Now there are many stars admiring the company, and I don’t know how many investors want to invest in it, and the name is not bad at all.

This feeling is like a poor relative who wants to have some friendship with the rich family member. Although there is some relationship, they are still trepidatious.

Therefore, the matter was delayed again and again, until Zhao Yong asked specifically at this morning meeting:

"Wang Hua, how is the progress between you and Cao Shen?"

How Wang Hua hoped his boss would forget this, but he didn't.

So, amidst the envious and jealous eyes, he had to lie:

"Cao Shen has been very busy recently, but I made an appointment with him to see a project today and ask him about product and technology issues."

After saying this, Wang Hua wanted to slap himself, why did he say it today? Can't you put it off until Friday?

He took a deep breath and sent a text message to Cao Shen.

He didn't dare to call Cao Shen directly. At least the text message could alleviate the stage fright.

"Mr. Cao, are you free for a cup of coffee today? Mr. Zhao specially asked me to learn from you. I have many product and technical issues that I would like to ask you..."

I thought about it and deleted it.

Cao Shen is a very busy man now, so he has no time to answer questions with him. This is a terrible excuse.

Think again!

Cao Shen said during the previous interview that he was here to learn from experience.

He must still be interested in the financing process, so why not take him to see a project?

Or do you have to watch it with investors and observe the communication process between investors and project parties?

It’s not easy to make temporary appointments with projects and investors...

Suddenly he remembered that during the morning meeting, Yao Kun from Puli Investment sent him a text message and he still didn’t reply!

Yao Kun was recently looking at a chip company and wanted to invest in it.

However, "hard technology" projects such as chip companies require technical due diligence.

Not only that, this company is a Series B project and needs to do due diligence upstream and downstream.

In short, it is very troublesome. Yao Kun is afraid of trouble, so he plans to introduce the project to Guangda Capital and let the investment bank do the due diligence and give him a report. This will save him a lot of trouble in preparing project report materials.

This kind of thing is not uncommon. In addition to angel rounds, investors in later rounds like to have investment banks in the middle, who can organize and standardize the original materials, financial data, operating data, due diligence reports, etc.

Otherwise, if you meet a naive person who is raising money for the first time, and you ask him for operational data, he will pull a lot of it directly from the backend, which will make people’s eyes flash.

If you want financial data, I will send you a few gigabytes of bank statement screenshots, which will make your head hurt.

Of course, these raw data will also be reviewed one by one during the due diligence process after the investor's investment intention is determined. But when judging the quality of a project, you still need to look at the more streamlined version first.

Moreover, before the B round, generally startup companies have very irregular finances and do not conduct audits.

At this time, the investment bank needs to help find a third party to issue an audit report.

In addition, sometimes the amount of financing required by the entrepreneur is relatively large, and one investment institution is unwilling to put all the money in. It will also ask the entrepreneur to find an investment bank, and get several more investment institutions to come in, so that everyone can share the risk.

At this time, if the investor introduces other investors together, it will have advantages and disadvantages.

Other investors will think: If the project is good, why don’t you go all-in and recruit me?

The failure rate of early-stage projects is high. If you make money in the end, everyone is happy.

But if you lose money, it will be difficult to make friends.

Unless it's an excellent project where everyone is scrambling for investment quota, it would be a real show of love to allocate the quota at this time.

Therefore, finding a few more investors and making money or losing money together is usually left to investment banks.

The reason why Yao Kun approached Wang Hua instead of going to another investment bank first was because Wang Hua was his junior brother.

More importantly, Guangda Capital is relatively "flexible" because it is a small investment bank.

Wang Hua once revealed that they can "rebate" and give part of the money earned by Guanghua Capital to "project source" providers.

In fact, this is nothing in the industry. For small investment banks that are not that strong, this is their "core competitiveness."

Wang Hua is actually not very willing to take on this project because due diligence is troublesome and he doesn’t want to do it.

For large investment banks, due diligence is generally outsourced to consulting firms.

But Zhao Yong is stingy, so he will definitely let his own people do this.

So I found contacts in the upstream and downstream of semiconductors and went to conduct interviews with customers of Xinyuan Semiconductor. Wang Hua had to do a series of things.

And this project still requires "rebate points", so the project award that finally falls on him will be pitifully small.

The price/performance ratio is too low.

However, considering that he had to take Cao Shen to see the project and there were no other targets temporarily, he decided to use his senior brother first.

If Cao Shen said the project was not good, he could directly give feedback to Zhao Yong, and he would have one more reason not to take the project.

So Wang Hua called Yao Kun directly and asked him if he could go to see the project today.

Yao Kun had been following this project for a long time and was very familiar with the founder, so he agreed immediately and made an appointment at 1 pm.

Wang Hua immediately sent a text message to Cao Shen:

"Mr. Cao, are you free today? I will be looking at a chip project on Zhiqiu Road at 1 pm and would like to invite you to join me. Mr. Zhao specifically asked me to learn more from you. It just so happens that this place is not far from your company. I wonder if there is a chance to learn from you."

After thinking about it, he deleted the word "chip".

After all, Cao Shen is a software engineer, and he may not understand or be interested in "hard technology" such as chips. He may refuse on the spot, so it is better to be vague and "cheat" him out first.

Cao Shen was just worried about not having a big car to keep him alive. When he received Wang Hua's text message, he immediately agreed.

The two made an appointment to meet directly in the lobby downstairs of Xinyuan Semiconductor Company.

He looked at the map and called Zhang Beixin's cell phone: "Senior sister, do you have a car?"

"Ah? No..." Zhang Beixin couldn't afford it yet.

"Do you have a driver's license?"

"Yes, what's the problem? What do you need me to do?"

"Go to the nearest car dealership and buy a car now. It doesn't matter what car it is. You can pick it up immediately. Go directly from the company's account. You can pick up any car within 2 million. Then add gas. At 12:40 noon, come downstairs to pick me up and go to Zhiqiu Road Chip Industrial Park."

"Oh, OK!"

There are very few cars in this price range. Zhang Beixin went to several car dealers and finally bought a Phaeton. He stopped downstairs at 12:40 to pick people up.

Cao Shen thought Zhang Beixin bought a Passat to save money for the company at first, but he found out it was a Phaeton when he walked in.

Well, it's good, low-key.

After getting into the back seat, the system suddenly came back to life.

[Cao thief! Did you get involved in TT and Jushi since you posted that "inventory"! ]

"I guess so."

The system actually doesn't understand things that are difficult to understand like humans, it relies on calculations.

Cao Shen needs to complain to keep alive, and the final settlement is given as life value.

This means that Cao Shen has complained about TT and Jushi. After carefully reading Cao Shen's "complaints", only this one mentioned these two companies.

So that's it!

The system feels that it has finally solved a huge mystery!

I'm so smart, I feel so cute.

Cao Shen sat in the car and felt that it was inconvenient that there was no taxi app or small yellow car in this world.

If there was, he wouldn't have to buy a car because he was in a hurry.

It's inconvenient to drive and park by yourself, and it's a waste of time, but letting Zhang Beixin be the driver is a bit of a waste of talent.

Otherwise, I will find an opportunity to start a taxi service, a small green car, or a plane service in the future?

And takeout, this must be there!

But at the moment, the conditions are not sufficient, the number of smart phones for users is not enough, and the user usage habits are not there. I don’t have that much money to burn, and I am short-lived...

Although I finally met Cao Shen in person, I should have a chat to keep in touch and have a good exchange.

However, as a female driver who officially went on the road for the first time, Zhang Beixin was sweating all over, concentrating on staring at the front, back, left and right, and her body was stiff.

Here it comes, there is a car coming towards me, should I avoid it a little!

Oh, there is a car behind me that is about to overtake, should I give way, but will the car on the opposite side hit me at this position? I am so nervous!

Don’t rush! Why are you honking the horn? Didn’t the green light just turn on!

Oh, I forgot to turn on the turn signal...

Fortunately, it was not far away. Finally, at 12:58, the car stopped at the door of the Quantum Building.

Cao Shen pushed the door and got out of the car, saying to Zhang Beixin:

"Thanks! Go park the car, I'll call you when I'm done.

By the way, let's hire a driver as soon as possible..."

Now, Cao Shen feels that it's really inappropriate to let Zhang Beixin be a driver,

his driving skills are too scary...

"Okay!" Finally, he got the person safely and on time, and Zhang Beixin was already sweating.

Watching Cao Shen leave, he breathed a sigh of relief.

The real test is here!

You have to park the car in the garage...

Oh, no, there's no garage yet.

Parking on the side of the road, such a narrow road, such a small parking space, and cars everywhere...

But Zhang Beixin is a girl who refuses to admit defeat, and she tightened her grip on the steering wheel.

It's just a practical exercise, practice more!

I, Zhang Beixin, can't even drive a car badly!

Why is this car so big!

It's different from a training car...
