Who would still start a business seriously after being reborn?

Chapter 382 Like teacher, like student! (Third update of the fourth chapter!)
This Momo Group is practically a monster house in the IT world.

Wang Yan swallowed hard, gave a bitter smile, and said, "Your group is truly full of hidden talents. I've lost."

Cheng Yi said calmly, "Do you still think I'm deliberately humiliating you?"

Wang Yan shook his head and said, "I am completely convinced."

He quickly looked at Lin Qingyin and said, "That young lady is still in school, isn't she?"

"I'm a sophomore," Cheng Yi said with a smile.

"Just started your sophomore year? My goodness!" Li Guoqing exclaimed. "When I was a sophomore, I was still busy washing dishes."

"Hahaha, Mr. Li, how dare you compare yourself to a genius?" an internet mogul laughed.

Li Guoqing said sullenly, "Actually, I was considered a genius back in my school days..."

"A genius dishwasher?" Li Yanhong, who was usually a man of few words, asked.

Li Guoqing laughed and scolded, "Li Yanhong, don't think I won't hit you just because you're more handsome than me."

Li Guoqing and Li Yanhong have a good personal relationship, so he wasn't really angry.

Li Yanhong glanced at Lin Qingyin in the corner, deliberately showing off his most handsome 45-degree profile, and asked Lin Qingyin, "Hey, I don't think universities teach hacking techniques, right? Who taught you hacking?"

Lin Qingyin couldn't lie, and stammered, "Yes, Cheng Yi taught me."

Cheng Yi?

The conference room erupted in an uproar.

Cheng Yi actually knows technology? Isn't he just a front man with some connections?

Everyone stared at Cheng Yi in shock, as if they had discovered a new continent.

Wang Yan couldn't help but ask, "President Cheng, you're really a hidden talent. Your apprentice actually managed to hack our website."

Cheng Yi humbly replied, "No, I'm not that good. I just happen to be naturally interested in hacking and happened to give Lin Qingyin some guidance."

Are you naturally interested in hacking?

Isn't this the epitome of scum?
Zhang Chaoyang laughed and said, "President Cheng, I heard that you are Yu Sen's student. Is that true or false? Zhu Shanhu and I are friends. I heard him mention you before, but I didn't pay much attention to it at the time."

Cheng Yi feigned surprise and said, "President Zhang, you actually know my senior brother?"

The term "senior brother" is tantamount to an implicit admission of his relationship with Yu Sen.

"Yu Sen? Is that the fat guy Yu who almost got selected as one of the Five Heroes of Zhongguancun?"

"It's him, that guy is cunning and wicked too."

"Like teacher, like student, that saying is absolutely right."

Most of the people present were from Zhongguancun, and they had long heard of Sen's legendary reputation.

Yu Sen was among the first batch of gifted children. He was once an innocent and adorable chubby boy. No one knows what he went through after leaving school. In less than ten years, he transformed from an innocent chubby boy into a cunning fat man.

Yu Sen is Cheng Yi's teacher, and Cheng Yi is Lin Qingyin's teacher.

Then Lin Qingyin conquered Xinlang.com.

Well, Yu Sen's slap in the face from afar was quite painful.

Thinking about how Yu Sen had humiliated him from afar, Wang Yan felt rather uncomfortable.

However, he was also a man who was willing to accept defeat. Having witnessed the power of Momo Group firsthand, he, who had originally only planned to come and watch the excitement, also had the idea of ​​connecting to Momo Group's third-party login system.

Those of them who work in the internet industry are most afraid of hacker attacks.

The amount they spend on protection every year is absolutely astronomical.

It's not that the technicians they hired had any technical problems; it's just that the vulnerabilities in Microsoft systems are different every month.

Every vulnerability introduced by an update could potentially cause incalculable damage to the website's backend.

Wang Yan still remembers what Kingsoft Chairman Qiu Bojun said: "We IT people are actually like tailors who patch things up, patching big patches onto small patches every day."

This is both self-deprecation and a sense of helplessness.

The issue of Microsoft system vulnerabilities has almost become an entire industry chain.

One of its uses is to prevent piracy.

Every system update intentionally leaves a hidden loophole, or vulnerability, and then the process involves constantly discovering and patching vulnerabilities.

To patch vulnerabilities, you must have a genuine operating system.

In terms of anti-piracy, vulnerabilities have a huge advantage.

Besides this, it's caused by the Microsoft system kernel.

OS systems, on the other hand, do not have this problem.

If the member database is handed over to Momo Group for maintenance, Momo Group's technical capabilities should be sufficient to ensure the absolute security of their back-end.

And just as Cheng Yi said, everyone has become one family.

Doesn't this amount to establishing the Daiyue Club of the internet industry?

If these people can truly put aside their selfishness and unite as one, who on the internet can be their match?

The fundamental reason for everyone's competition is simply that the market isn't big enough. If the market were big enough, people wouldn't be foolish enough to compete like this.

Factions...

Wang Yan thought of the financial factions in the United States.

Does their cooperation with Momo Group equate to the formation of a faction?

Wang Yan closed his laptop and said, "President Cheng, Xinlang is willing to introduce your third-party login system."

"We would like that too."

"We would like that too."

Seeing that Wang Yan was convinced, everyone present echoed his sentiments.

Looking at the familiar faces before him, Cheng Yi became unusually excited.

These are all future giants in the internet industry, and now they've essentially been brought under his command.

Starting today, a new faction has emerged in the internet world.

Momo Group!
Although these people are all in the exploratory stage of losing money, with the help of Momo Group's Alipay, their rise will be very fast.

Alipay is actually poison to these people. The faster they rise, the more they rely on Momo Group's payment system, and the more they rely on this system, the more they become addicted to it.

It's like drugs; once you're hooked, it's hard to shake off. Even if Cheng Yi increased the revenue share to the same percentage as mobile operators, they still had no choice but to accept it.

However, Cheng Yi does not intend to do so.

Only a fool would kill a fish to get its eggs.

30% is the limit for them to join Alipay, and they will maintain this percentage permanently.

The 30% revenue share is the optimal ratio that Apple has explored over decades.

What followed was simple.

Apart from Wang Yan, everyone else brought their modified port files. Cheng Yi led them to the Guolong Software Research Center and had them connect with He Xu.

He Xu, who came from Huaxia Software Group, is quite famous in Zhongguancun. When people meet He Xu, they inevitably exchange pleasantries and gain a deeper understanding of the strength of Momo Group.

One of these individuals, picked at random, was a programming guru who once made a name for himself in Zhongguancun.

As Momo's membership system was integrated with these dozen or so websites and apps, links to these websites and apps also appeared on Momo Group's official website.

At the same time, Momo's system also included these websites and software.

As night fell, Du Yusheng hosted a banquet and drank heavily with everyone. Du Yusheng was naturally gifted at drinking, and these internet tycoons were so drunk by him that they clung to their chairs and sang "Tomorrow Will Be Better".

Early the next morning, all the computers at Momo Internet Cafe underwent maintenance and updates, and the built-in websites and software were downloaded to the computers.

This means that starting today, Momo's operating system has begun to come into the view of mainstream internet companies in China.

Around 7 a.m., Cheng Yi changed into a presentable outfit and hurriedly headed to the Handong Hotel.

At 10 o'clock, the launching ceremony of the National Campus Beauty and Handsome Boy Contest will be held in the largest conference hall of the Handong Hotel.

This time, he had to move from behind the scenes to the forefront, because this was an event for their school's intranet technology company.

Cheng Yi is happy to step into the limelight regarding matters related to Xiaonei.com Technology Company.

After all, the things that Renren.com does are very positive, unlike Momo Group, which is scheming and despicable and could be attacked if it makes a mistake.

Although it was an unofficial campus beauty and hunk contest, Momo Group still invited quite a few leaders to participate.

This is one of the advantages of this era: leaders don't care what you do, they only care whether you do it or not.

As long as you dare to think and act, as long as you can boost GDP, as long as your business is legal, and as long as you give the order, they will arrive faster than anyone else.

Although many people in later generations have continued to criticize the leaders of this era, to put ourselves in their shoes, without their sweeping reforms and their "anything not prohibited by law is permitted" approach, there would have been no economic boom.

If e-commerce hadn't existed in their previous lives, these leaders' achievements would have been recorded in history.

Unfortunately, the wealth inequality caused by e-commerce has severely damaged all industries, leading some to question whether the development path of the new century is correct.

In addition to the leaders of Handong Province, Momo Group also invited many media outlets to participate, and even Shengda Group sent Luo Shengyi to attend the ceremony.

When Cheng Yi entered the VIP room, Du Yusheng was chatting and laughing with the leaders. When he saw Cheng Yi come in, Du Yusheng subconsciously wanted to stand up, but he suddenly remembered his identity and that there were outsiders present, so he immediately steadied himself.

Cheng Yi walked respectfully to Du Yusheng's side and said with a smile, "Chairman, the event is about to begin. Please take your seats with the leaders."

"Okay." Du Yusheng then stood up and politely led the other leaders, who had also stood up, to the conference hall.

The Handong Hotel was exceptionally lively today. After a month of preparation, many media outlets had become aware of the Campus Beauty and Handsome Boy Contest. In addition, the organizers, sponsors, co-organizers, and sponsors of this event were all very influential, so the event carried significant weight in the eyes of the media.

Many media outlets even come uninvited, just to get firsthand news.

At the entrance of the conference hall, there was a huge sign-in wall. This was the first step in the process of Momo Group's events. The leaders had participated many times and their initial shock had turned into indifference.

But it's different for media from other provinces. Their high-class entry procedures left many media outlets from smaller provinces completely bewildered.

The luxurious sign-in wall, the red carpet, and dozens of beautiful hostesses in cheongsams with slits—the pre-entry process alone was enough to generate a lot of news.

"Is this for real?" On one side of the venue, a reporter from the Oriental Times put down his camera, looked at the list of organizers on the conference guide board, and said, "Isn't this lineup a bit too impressive?"

The information board displayed the event organizers and other details.

Organizers: Handong Provincial News Association, Handong Provincial Student Federation, Handong Provincial Top 100 Universities External Relations Department Alliance, Jingzhou Momo Group.

Co-organizers: Xinlang.com, Soohu.com

Organizer: Jingzhou Campus Network Technology Co., Ltd.

Sponsor: Shengda Group.

"This is considered luxurious?" a reporter from the Yanjing Evening News scoffed. "You must be from a small town. In Yanjing, an event in just one district is more luxurious than this."

As they were talking, Cheng Yi led Wang Yan, Zhang Chaoyang, and others toward the venue.

The reporter from Yanjing Evening News immediately rushed forward, shouting, "President Cheng, President Wang, President Zhang, what is the purpose of this event? Some netizens are saying that you are holding this event to select beauties for big shots. Is that true?"

"Disgusting, filthy." Cheng Yi glared at the reporter and said, "How could anyone have such thoughts? The purpose of this event is to showcase the spirit of the new generation of college students!"

"I see." The reporter nodded quickly. After waiting for Cheng Yi and the others to leave, he quickly took out his diary and wrote: The founder of Xiaonei.com Technology said that netizens nowadays are filthy and disgusting.

The reporter looked at the headline and smiled with satisfaction.

It was definitely worth the trip; we've got a news scoop!

This event has received mixed reviews online.

After all, the terms "school beauty" and "school hunk" are too eye-catching and easily remind people of beauty pageants.

However, this is also the result Cheng Yi wants.

To gain popularity online, you need to learn how to control the emotions of your audience.

If you can't get their goodwill, then find a way to provoke their malice.

Whether it's well-intentioned or malicious, as long as it generates buzz and traffic, that's enough.

To put it bluntly, netizens are just a bunch of tools that can hurl insults. Never treat them like human beings. If you treat them like human beings, you will gain anger. If you don't treat them like human beings, you will gain traffic, success, and joy.

The 300-seat venue was already packed, with many reporters standing at the back taking photos.

Upon seeing Cheng Yi and others enter the venue, many people raised their cameras.

Cheng Yi led Wang Yan and Zhang Chaoyang quickly onto the stage and said with a smile, "Thank you all for taking time out of your busy schedules to attend our launch ceremony. Before the event begins, let me say a few words."

"I know many people have some doubts about this event, thinking we're just creating a gimmick to attract attention," Cheng Yi said slowly. "Actually, that's not the case. The main purpose of this event is to showcase the spirit of university students in the new era, and to let them shine brightly through the emerging internet! Our aim is..."

Sitting in the first row, Luo Shengyi listened to Cheng Yi's boastful talk and became increasingly impressed by Cheng Yi's ability to make up stories on the spot.

This guy is clearly just creating hype and skirting the edge, yet he manages to make it sound so high-sounding.

It's such a waste that someone like that doesn't become an official.
