Chapter 295: The picture shows the dagger
No one expected that after demonstrating all the advanced functions, Qiao Yu actually had a killer trick waiting for them.

But this seems to be expected.

To be honest, the things demonstrated before are indeed futuristic, but most of them are the integration of artificial intelligence technology.

In other words, by utilizing the computing power of simulated quantum computers, which no one has yet figured out, artificial intelligence technology has experienced a major explosion in this generation of products.

But what Qiao Yu said just now seemed to have a special meaning.

As expected, Qiao Yu’s next words made many people feel extremely complicated.

“…Looking back four years ago, we could only rely on Xiyu Technology’s simple computer room and the equipment that was not considered advanced at the time. We kept modifying the algorithm to try to find loopholes in security transactions.

But now the emergence of the Tai Chi series of computers has filled this gap. With the help of advanced quantum computing and the already set up cloud programs, we can easily enable individual users to perform security scans on commonly used trading markets and give corresponding security recommendations.

In other words, when we have a Tai Chi computer, the most advanced Supreme model is not to mention, even the entry-level Apocalypse model can easily achieve this function with the help of our quantum cloud server..."

"WTF..."

“Oh, My God!”

"Fuck... Awesome..."

"Awesome!"

……

On the stage, before Qiao Yu finished speaking, there was a burst of exclamations from the audience. Qiao Yu could even clearly hear what the big guys in the front row were saying.

He didn't feel offended. On the contrary, Qiao Yu thought it was a good thing. It was interesting when it could surprise everyone.

The most important thing is to give everyone confidence. The first generation of products needs to have sales, and if more people are willing to pay for the high price of the Tai Chi series, there needs to be enough gimmicks and unparalleled appeal.

The starting price of 5.88 RMB can basically predict the sales volume in China. The first batch of people willing to try it out are mostly wealthy people or those who really value the productivity brought by the Tai Chi series.

Qiao Yu is still very confident about the competitiveness of the product itself. Not only can he make PPT, but he doesn't even need a mouse or remote control to play PPT. He just needs to speak and the computer will automatically play the appropriate picture.

But Qiao Yu was very clear about this price. Even if the most optimistic sales volume could reach tens of millions, it would only be a drop in the bucket compared to the investment in research and development.

Next, major manufacturers in the alliance will need to continue investing, upgrading products, updating processes and finding ways to gradually reduce prices.

The alliance committee had anticipated this, and even communicated internally, preparing to endure another ten years of losses in order to achieve a bright future.

It even made it clear that during this period, those companies in the alliance that are larger in scale and have relatively better financial conditions will support those companies and manufacturers in the alliance that are smaller in scale and have lower risk tolerance in various ways to help them overcome difficulties.

Qiao Yu knew all this.

However, as we all know, the Chinese generation starting from the post-2000s probably hates to endure hardships the most, and the same is true for Qiao Yu.

When he was working odd jobs in an Internet cafe for the emotional value of a rich brother, he could still live a good life by packing up food worth hundreds of yuan for a meal, let alone now.

For a long time before, he focused his main energy on the space-based denial project. He had to wait until the Sky Shield exercise was successful before holding a press conference for the quantum simulation computer project, just to help the alliance make money as soon as possible.

Qiao Yu has never been the kind of modest gentleman who takes gentleness, courtesy, frugality and modesty as his motto. On the contrary, in Qiao Yu's view, making money should be high-profile.

Especially when making money from foreigners, you have to be more high-profile. After all, most of these foreigners are immoral, so they will remember the beatings but not the kindness.

Even the artificial intelligence built into the Tai Chi computer understands this! Otherwise, it wouldn't have designed such an interesting four-frame comic strip just now.

So for Qiao Yu, the reactions from the audience at this time were all encouraging, which showed that he was doing the right thing!

Some technologies should be directly integrated into the Tai Chi series of products. However, this is much more civilized than driving an aircraft carrier and shouting "Fellow villagers, open the door for business!"

Qiao Yu's idea was simple. The total sales of the first generation of Tai Chi must exceed 100 million! Moreover, the sales profit abroad must double that of China, so that the Quantum Simulation Alliance can directly recover its investment and even have some surplus.

In this way, companies within the alliance will be motivated to increase their investment in process research and development, and can boldly open up new production lines, quickly reduce costs, and more proactively occupy the global market.

This is the beautiful scene that Qiao Yu wants to see in the next five to ten years. Since the other side is already in trouble, give them a push quickly, so that they can feel a sense of historical participation.

Then witnessing with one's own eyes the collapse of the flourishing building, revealing the rotten flesh hidden in the late empire, and giving an empire that has been rebellious to the world for more than two hundred years the century-long history of humiliation it deserves, can help them grow better and have more foundation.

Well, Qiao Yu thought so, but considering that the future might be about to enter the space age...

It can only be said that the era when the other side was strong was not right, or that when these people were at their strongest, they were only thinking about how to plunder internally and had no intention of conquering the vast sea of ​​stars.

When they had enemies, they were able to land on the moon. But after losing their opponents, they completely degenerated and only focused on the melons and dates on Earth.

From Qiao Yu's perspective, for a rapidly developing civilization, every planet, whether suitable for carbon-based life or not, represents resources that can be squandered for hundreds or thousands of years.

Even if we could get our hands on the resources on the moon, it would still be much more profitable than any financial innovation on Earth.

After all, the essence of money is a kind of target object, not something that really has any value. What really has value is always resources and the ability to turn resources into demand goods.

Unfortunately, these are impossible to achieve no matter how developed the financial industry is.

Of course, Qiao Yu could understand it. If you can make money just by moving your fingers in front of the computer, who would be willing to take the risk of losses, invest heavy assets in various machines, and hire a bunch of old men to screw them in?

However, debts must be repaid, and the Tai Chi series of products are here to collect debts. In addition, most of the protection fees in the past few years were collected by Google, and now the net can be closed.

Qiao Yu smiled as he watched the noisy scene below the stage, feeling extremely comfortable. Especially from where he was standing, he could clearly see Brad Smith's expression change as well.

This feels good!
But in fact, Brad Smith's face was definitely not the worst at this time. Or the person with the worst face at this time was not at the scene at all.

The Internet was really lively at this time, especially outside of China.

There is a saying on the Internet that compared with the people of the world, the Chinese are like domestic pets. They are not only curious about everything, but also have no sense of risk at all.

Every one of them seems to be a fool. For example, many people have complained that when the locals of Xida see someone making a fuss, their first reaction is to stay away, but the Chinese people like to get closer to watch...

When I hear the "crackling" sound, I always react half a beat slower than others and think it is firecrackers.

They even approached people in uniform on the street to ask for directions... These were considered extremely dangerous behaviors by the locals, but the Chinese people actually thought there was nothing wrong with them.

Similarly, even at the financial level, most Chinese people have a weak sense of risk.

For example, at this time, when Qiao Yu said that the Taiji series computers could help those financial institutions test the security of transactions like last time, no one immediately thought that the sale of this kind of computer equipment would threaten the security of their deposits or stocks...

The Chinese really believe that situations in which one can get rich overnight are written into the criminal law.

The higher-ups will definitely not allow this kind of thing to really interfere with the operation of China's entire financial system.

Obviously, people outside the country have a much stronger awareness of national risks than the Chinese.

Not to mention that Qiao Yu’s public live broadcast of the security test four years ago had a huge and far-reaching impact, which even continues to this day.

Many people still remember that it was after that incident that the value of virtual currency began to plummet, and until now the prices of various virtual currencies are still half-dead.

There used to be hundreds of virtual currency trading platforms of all sizes around the world, but now there are less than ten left.

A virtual currency trading platform of Xida University that Qiao Yu helped test has gone bankrupt and liquidated, and the lawsuit has not yet been concluded.

The prices of various mainstream virtual currencies, such as Bitcoin, have continued to fall, and it can almost be said that there is no hope of regaining their glory.

Take Bitcoin for example. At its peak, it rose to nearly $7.4 per coin. But now the price is only $3823, and the highest price this year is only $4123.

Moreover, it has been in a half-dead state, and it is almost impossible to see the scene of a sudden 100% surge overnight.

The reason is simple: there are fewer and fewer players.

This is the case with Bitcoin, not to mention other derivative virtual currencies. When Qiao Yu helped the three major markets test, dozens of virtual currencies were eliminated along with the trading market.

The rapid decline in the trading market has caused the issuance of new currencies to decrease noticeably.

The global virtual currency market value once reached 3.5 trillion US dollars, but now it is only around 1500 billion US dollars.

The only good news is that this kind of virtual currency has nothing to do with most ordinary people, so the impact is still controllable.

However, during that period, many people still chose to go downstairs without using elevators or stairs, especially in developed countries in the west.

Today, Qiao Yu actually brought up this matter again...

And this time it is more than just virtual currency. After all, this is a consumer product for individuals.

If anyone buys a Tai Chi series computer, they will be able to do a live broadcast like last time to help test the global financial security system. Many people abroad simply cannot imagine what will happen!

So when many Chinese netizens were still watching the live video for fun, the barrage of comments on foreign live streaming websites was already in a state of panic.

"I suggest that people who hold virtual currency should immediately turn off the video, open your trading software, and see if you can clear your account quickly! I know that there will be the biggest bad news today."

"Your suggestion is too late. The bankers have already started to flee desperately! I suspect that the futures market will also collapse soon! I dare not think about what will happen when the stock market opens tomorrow."

"This shouldn't be the case! Didn't we say before that as long as there is that logo, it means that it is protected by the quantum security strategy?"

"You should ask those big shots on Wall Street about this question. Ask them whether they believe that the Chinese will provide them with complete quantum security protection when those idiots keep offending the Chinese!"

……

Yes, at this moment, the live broadcast screen abroad was already noisy.

But that's not important.

What’s important is that those virtual currency trading platforms that have not had a chance to catch their breath have once again faced a heartbreaking battle royale.

In fact, the escape did not start after Qiao Yu said that. From the moment China announced that it would release a quantum simulation computer, the main dealers had actually been planning to ship out.

Even during this process, there were several upward fluctuations and short-selling processes. These were all preparations made by many big dealers for what might happen.
But even the big dealer probably didn't expect that Qiao Yu would be so radical at this press conference. Not only did he repeatedly talk about the unbearable incident four years ago, he also announced in a high-profile manner that ordinary Tai Chi computers have this kind of crash-inducing function.

So the originally planned reduction of holdings suddenly turned into a battle royale! Under the sudden prisoner's dilemma, it was difficult for the traders to reach a tacit understanding.

After all, when emotions begin to dominate the financial market, any technology is a joke, and all that matters is hand speed and internet speed.

But this is not the scariest thing. The scariest thing is that when others are fearful, there are fewer greedy people...

Not to mention that as what was said in the barrage, this must not involve futures, bonds and stocks, otherwise it would be really over!
……

"Bang..." An exquisite glass was rolling to the ground at this moment.

Although the old man in the white house fell hard, the high-quality carpet in the office played a good protective role, allowing the glass to be kept intact.

"How dare he? How dare the Chinese!"

The old man pointed at the screen and asked angrily, and even began to breathe heavily after he finished speaking.

At this moment, the video happened to give a close-up of Qiao Yu. The young boy was smiling and looking at the audience. Compared with the old man's loss of composure at this moment, he seemed quite calm and of course more handsome. His vigorous vitality made people feel envious.

The contrast between old age and youthful vigor is too strong, which makes people feel even more unhappy.

"In fact, there is nothing they dare not do! We have not yet found a way to counter the space-based defense system, especially we are still uncertain about the control range of China's space-based defense system. In the past four months, we have even canceled all exercise plans and launch training in Asia..."
