Black technology: a super empire spanning two worlds

Chapter 88 [Huge Response]

Once Xiao Yu’s Weibo post was published, it immediately caused a huge response online and sparked heated discussions and reposts among countless netizens.

However, many media outlets that are keen on reposting topics on the Weibo of bigwigs in the technology circle seemed to have not noticed Xiao Yu's Weibo post, and very few media outlets reposted and reported his Weibo post.

However, in this era of developed self-media, many netizens and self-media are spontaneously reposting his Weibo post, which is still widely circulated.

After all, Xiao Yu is no longer the same person he was before. He is now a top blogger with tens of millions of fans. He has a huge traffic effect himself, unlike before when he only had tens of thousands of fans.

Even though there was no media outlet reposting it, it became a hot topic thanks to the spontaneous reposting and discussion by netizens.

[Once again, I am a fan of Brother Xiao. He is an entrepreneur with conscience.]
[Mr. Huang: The money belongs to you, I accept it, why should I give it to them? Zhang Mazi: How to settle the accounts is your business, to me, money is money and people are people.]
[Apply for World Heritage…(Shiba Inu.jpg)]
[I misunderstood Brother Xiao. It turns out he was on the side of us workers...]
[To be honest, this Weibo post shocked me greatly. I was shocked that Brother Xiao’s action was undoubtedly against human nature, and he said it so openly in front of the world. This requires a lot of determination, because it is very offensive. I think Brother Xiao must know how much causal trouble it will bring to himself by saying this openly in public.]
[I really admire him from the bottom of my heart. Not everyone can make such an inhuman decision. Brother Xiao has now drawn a clear line between himself and "Mr. Huang".]
[How can those "yellow gentlemen" still be respectable after what he did? They must hate him to death in private.]
[This is bad. I feel like Brother Xiao will definitely face a lot of trouble in the future. Those "Mr. Huang" will definitely unite to target him.]
[Protect, protect!]
[Xiao is protecting the interests of our working class. We must speak out to support Xiao. We cannot let Xiao be isolated and defeated by “Mr. Huang”!]
[Hurry up and launch the paid personal version of AI Xiaojing. I can still afford the 300 yuan monthly fee for the whole package, and I won’t even blink at the 30 yuan monthly fee for a single item. What’s more, this is a means of production that can be negotiated with the boss.]
[To be honest, I don’t envy Brother Xiao at all for being the richest man. On the contrary, I am happy.]
[+1]
[I second the motion. . . ]
[Sooner or later, Brother Xiao will regain the title of the richest man.]
[It doesn’t matter if it’s sooner or later. If Lingjing Technology hits the daily limit today, I’ll be the richest man again. But the stock price is too expensive now. Buying one lot costs nearly 10 yuan. Otherwise, I’ll have to buy some at least. By the way, when will Brother Xiao split the company’s stock? Maybe a -for- split or something, so that small investors like us can also get on board…]
[Family members, please use your time. Brother Xiao has given the chips to the workers. Don’t be stupid enough to lose them and then cry and say that Xiao Jing stole your job.]
[Xiao Jing can even write code as efficiently as a programmer. I used to be worried that my boss would optimize me out as a programmer. Now I am relieved. My company is not a big company, and my boss definitely cannot afford the 150 million monthly fee for the enterprise version.]
[Haha, thanks Brother Xiao. My boss fired me the day before yesterday because he thought I was no longer needed with the free small mirror. He just called me and asked me to go back to work. I guess he saw Brother Xiao’s Weibo post. Yes, our company is not big and cannot afford the 150 million monthly fee.]
[Then you have to tell your boss that if he wants to invite you back, he has to pay you more.]
[Required.]
……

The Weibo post Xiao Yu posted today shocked countless people. When netizens saw it, they either became his fans immediately or their favorability towards him skyrocketed.

Because anyone with a normal mind can see that Xiao Yu is helping the workers to gain benefits, and it is hard for people like him not to be liked by the working group.

Moreover, many workers are not rich but not stupid. They know that Xiao Yu's actions will inevitably offend a group of "Huang Masters". They can obviously become a member of the "Huang Masters", be high above them and exploit them together.

As a result, he was inhumane and unwilling to sit at the same table with "Mr. Huang". Instead, he stood on the side of the vast working class group. This made many workers respect Xiao Yu.

At this moment, while the Weibo post Xiao Yu sent caused a huge response, the number of followers on his Weibo account also skyrocketed, with the number of followers increasing wildly at a rate of 700,000 to 800,000 per hour, sometimes even exceeding one million in an hour.

At this rate of increasing followers, the number of new followers must reach more than 10 million per day.

Even some people who have never used Weibo or have long since cancelled their Weibo accounts re-registered their accounts to support Xiao Yu, just to follow and support him.

As the news spread, by the afternoon, the share price of Lingjing Technology, which had been correcting for two weeks, also rose strongly in the afternoon.

Long-term funds have formed a combined force, and investors see such market feedback as positive for stock prices.

Xiao Yu decided to launch an enterprise version of AI Xiaojing, with a monthly price of a staggering 150 million yuan. If a large enterprise with thousands or tens of thousands of employees needs to use AI Xiaojing, the annual fee it pays will be two to three hundred million yuan.

Even if the enterprise version is too expensive and no corporate customers are willing to buy it, investors will see that Xiao Yu's Weibo post today is very popular, and the willingness to pay for the personal version will definitely exceed the market's original expectations. Moreover, the base is there, and the total revenue will definitely surpass the enterprise version.

Lingjing Technology is already leading the field in the AI field. If we cannot be sure about users' willingness to pay before, it is difficult to estimate the profitability of AI Xiaojing.

But recently, after many companies laid off employees, Xiao Yu took the opportunity to post such a Weibo post, which directly won the hearts of the people and received the support of countless workers, reducing the resistance of the majority of users to pay to the lowest level.

The vast majority of people are willing to pay for AI Mirror. Some even think that AI Mirror has such powerful productivity attributes that, as a means of production, the monthly fee of only 300 yuan for the personal version is definitely too low.

Investors felt such market feedback signals and realized that this would inevitably become a super strong performance growth point.

I went straight into a strong long position in Lingjing Technology.

At around 13:49 p.m., Lingjing Technology's share price rose to 1075.81 yuan, up 20.00% and hitting the daily limit, and the company's market value climbed to 9338 billion.

The company's stock price was halved to 609.91 yuan, and today it has returned to the thousand yuan price level, with a cumulative increase of +76.39%. If there is another daily limit in the next trading day, there is no need for a daily limit, as long as it rises by +17.67%, Lingjing Technology's stock price will break through the historical high of 1265.89 yuan and set a new high. With the daily limit today, Xiao Yu's personal net worth has risen to 4765 billion, surpassing the nominal net worth of 4550 billion of the founder of Nongfu Spring, and re-topped the position of the richest man in China.

When netizens heard the news, they rushed to Xiao Yu’s Weibo to leave comments such as “Congratulations to Brother Xiao for taking the title of richest man” and “XXX sent a congratulatory message”.

Instead of being jealous of Xiao Yu becoming the richest man, everyone was very supportive and happy to see him become the richest man.

Because of this Weibo post, everyone knows that he is not "Mr. Huang" and that he has drawn a clear line between himself and the "Mr. Huangs". He is even taking the risk of offending the "Mr. Huangs" to protect the interests of the vast majority of workers from being exploited.

In this case, it is hard not to win people's hearts.

……

The next day, at Lingjing Technology Headquarters.

Not long after Xiao Yu arrived at the company this afternoon, Yun Shu came to his office and brought a message.

"Old Xu, who is in Liancheng, called me half an hour ago. He said that President Yu has agreed to personally lead a team to Linzhou to provide guidance on the operation of our company's supermarkets. Old Xu said that he refused to come no matter how he was invited before. Yesterday, President Yu saw your Weibo post and suddenly called Old Xu in person today and agreed."

At this moment, Yun Shu was talking about this with Xiao Yu.

Lingjing Technology also has food processing and grain trading businesses, and last year Xiao Yu acquired a large supermarket in Linzhou City. These arrangements are made to better connect with the cross-border grain transportation in the Blue Star world.

In addition to this hidden purpose, Xiao Yu also realized that he was mainly engaged in high-tech industries, and the threshold for joining Lingjing Technology was high for the general working class.

However, traditional industries such as food processing and supermarket operations do not require relatively high technical requirements.

Even with a junior high school education, he is fully capable of handling most jobs. It just so happens that Xiao Yu also needs to engage in food processing and supermarkets, so he can take advantage of the situation and lead a group of working people to get rich within his capabilities.

The problem is that Xiao Yu is a high-tech person. He has no traditional experience in running supermarkets, nor does he want to rely on the high profits of Lingjing Technology to support supermarkets. Although this is also a solution, the model is ultimately problematic and unsustainable.

Obviously, Xiao Yu hopes that the employees in this area will not rely on transfusions from the technology business, but can operate their own business in a virtuous and positive cycle.

Thinking of the great success of the Pangdonglai model in Liancheng, Xiao Yu decisively sent someone to Liancheng to invite General Yu to come out, hoping that General Yu would bring a team to guide Lingjing Supermarket and pass on the experience of Pangdonglai to Lingjing Supermarket.

However, Mr. Yu had previously found various reasons to decline the offer, because the Pangdonglai model would be difficult to expand beyond Liancheng. He had tried it before, but all failed due to various resistance factors.

Xu Changming, CEO of Lingjing Technology, learned that Mr. Yu was unwilling to come, so he arranged the company's work a few days ago, and then went to Liancheng in person to visit him and invite Mr. Yu to come out, but he still failed.

Just yesterday, the Weibo post published by Xiao Yu caused a huge response across the entire network. Although most media did not report it much, it still became a hot topic. President Yu also happened to see netizens discussing this matter, so he called Xu Changming personally today.

This surprised Xu Changming as well. He thought he would return empty-handed, but he didn't expect that Mr. Yu would suddenly contact him and agree.
