My autobiography is definitely not a tragedy!-Chapter 786 - 473

As a domestic star company that first opened the market with "Bajie" to build a good reputation, and then joined the core supply chain of Hua Wei,

Baiyeji Company suddenly launched two new products, which attracted considerable attention within the tech community.

However, the first to erupt were major campus networks and BBS...

"Here’s a free plagiarism check link (Magic Portal), registration invite code XXXX, you’re welcome!"

"Personally tested and it’s... not just good! It’s too good! I hope the tutors never use it!"

"This link is toxic, tutors please don’t click it!"

"What a blessing for students, it’s more like adding insult to injury..."

"Is anyone in need of Wisdom Coin? Not only 1000 per coin, selling at 500!"

"Any juniors or sophomores in need of plagiarism checking services, 300 per check, regardless of word count, limited quantity, act quickly!"

"200 a time, if the service isn’t up to the mark, it’s free!"

"Brother, this is vicious competition!"

"What’s there to compete over, a guy in our dorm is doing it for 50 a go, but only for female juniors..."

"What Wisdom Coin, what invite code? Can such ads even be stickied to the top?"

"I am the student council president, invite code XXXX, please support the work of the student council."

"..."

With a ubiquity of the internet among college students and extremely rapid information flow on campuses,

combined with this year’s surge in plagiarism check demands and Spider Web’s price increase, graduates nationwide were full of complaints.

At this point, the emergence of a website with astonishingly effective plagiarism checks, free of charge, made quite a splash. Coupled with a Pinduoduo-style reward-driven network promotion, it spread like a virus among students’ circles...

Such promotional impact was not unlike the "Fetion red envelopes" during the Spring Festival Gala back in the day.

While the students were gleefully exploiting this opportunity, another group of wool-pullers were not so pleased.

Over at Spider Web’s, they were happily counting money in silence when suddenly the demand for plagiarism checks plummeted, with daily income dropping by double digits, and getting worse day by day, completely confusing them.

A quick investigation revealed that it was Baiyeji Company digging at their corner, and in an unsportsmanlike manner at that.

What was Spider Web’s monopolistic moat?

Wasn’t it the control over a vast amount of intellectual property from universities!

You want to make a quick buck and hop on the bandwagon to provide plagiarism checks, that’s fine.

But you blatantly aimed to use the opportunity to break into the copyright market, attempting to breach our monopolistic moat. That’s a direct attack on Spider Web’s core interests!

How could Spider Web, which monopolized domestic university copyright for decades, be a mere nobody?

Speaking of the forces behind Spider Web, we must mention the top institution Shuimu University.

Spider Web’s parent company "Tongfang," along with another famous enterprise, "Ziguang," both stem from Shuimu University and are its affiliated businesses.

They claimed to develop the technological achievements of Shuimu University but were essentially large-scale school-run factories that went public.

Initially, they were called "Shuimu Tongfang" and "Shuimu Ziguang," but they dropped "Shuimu" from their names due to the negative news from the two listed companies affecting Shuimu’s reputation.

Even with the association, these two "Shuimu Series" enterprises had less than stellar performances attributed to ’management chaos’ stemming from their source.

Not to mention "Ziguang," "Tongfang" was also suffering losses year after year.

However, Spider Web was one of the few subsidiaries under "Tongfang" that was profitable.

If your golden goose is being targeted, wouldn’t you fight tooth and nail to protect it?

Hence, a web of complex "social niceties" and subtle connections were mobilized, vowing to thoroughly reprimand Baiyeji, the naive troublemaker...

...

"Hmm... over three million in rental fees on the first day?"

Meng Lang looked at the backend data of the "Bitcoin Computational Power Supermarket," his expression one of surprise.

"Wisdom Tree" was indeed a future product of 2043, with its practicality and product strength unquestionable, so its success was expected.

However, Lang had not anticipated that the "Bitcoin Computational Power Supermarket" would strike gold from day one of its launch.

The fact that a single customer spent over two million to rent half a year’s worth of computational power, accounting for more than 80% of the first day’s revenue, was indeed surprising.

Could it be... someone quickly realized the power of our "Computational Power Supermarket"?

To be fair, the "Computational Power Supermarket" he tinkered with was an asymmetric crushing attack on the current "Bitcoin Mines," utilizing Zero’s advanced algorithms!

With the same number of mining machines, others could only produce one coin a day, while we could produce two... that’s the gap in strength!

Those who understand calculations will soon realize that scouring the world for "low electricity cost" areas to set up "mines" is less cost-effective than directly purchasing Baiyeji’s computational power services online...

Unless they’re foolish, the demand for computational power across the world would swarm towards Baiyeji!

"Mining" differs from "coin speculation," with little risk, and since it involves renting computational power rather than owning heavy assets, the investment risk is virtually zero.

With Baiyeji’s algorithm advantage far exceeding its peers, a 30% annual return rate is guaranteed, not to mention potential yearly doubling of funds!

Apart from Ponzi schemes, where do you find such "steady happiness"?

At this time, securing a rental is equivalent to striking it rich!

Don’t be fooled by the current lack of attention; once the first batch of pioneers have had a taste, the popularity of the "Bitcoin Computational Power Supermarket" will undoubtedly match or even exceed any of Baiyeji’s products!

It’s mostly impossible to rent computational power "by day."

It ranges from at least a month to a year or two.

This way, Baiyeji can quickly amass a large amount of "rental" revenue in a short time, which can then be reinvested into the expansion of the Cloud Computing Center, thereby creating a snowball effect!

It’s like collecting rent in advance, then using it to make the down payment on real estate, and continuing to collect rent, cycling again and again.

With a few million in funds, he could stir up action worth hundreds of millions...

Sounds familiar, doesn’t it.

Exactly! The recently popular "long-term apartment rentals" in our country, along with the "full house rentals" in the South Peninsula, are essentially the same leveraged model when you get down to it.

The principle is the same; once you understand one, you understand them all.

Those who play with capital have always been the kind who can draw inferences from one case to apply them to others.

Meng Lang didn’t have a great business mind, but when it came to making money, especially fast money, he was serious...

"That being the case, we can start scheduling plans to allow customers to use Wisdom Coin to purchase Baiyeji computational power."

Then it’ll be buying ERP services, cars, medications...

Yeah! As long as our products are exceptional, even if we have to brute force it, we could turn Wisdom Coin into hard currency!"

Just when Meng Lang was adjusting plans based on market feedback, the ringing of his phone suddenly interrupted him.

Meng Lang picked it up and an amused smile played at the corner of his mouth.

[Hello! Ah Lang, it’s Duan Xian, something big has happened!]

True to form, there was a note of urgency in the voice as soon as the call connected.

"I knew you’d call these past few days..."

[What?]

"Nothing, what’s so urgent?" Meng Lang asked nonchalantly as he closed his laptop.

He knew, but the play had to go by the script.

[It’s trouble with the film crew! Director Han just told me, the original footage of the final cuts was accidentally deleted by a rookie at a post-production company.

In the worst-case scenario, the movie might be delayed, and the crew could face massive losses for early promotions and investments...]

Duan Xian explained the situation with an anxious tone.

[Ah Lang, I have this feeling that there’s something fishy about this whole thing. It’s just too coincidental, the problem arising just as the film is nearing completion, and it’s a newbie from the company that accidentally deletes it...

The excuse seems far-fetched no matter how you look at it.

Although the post-production company has to pay a penalty, in theory, they wouldn’t be so foolish as to shoot themselves in the foot, but our losses...

Hey! Hey? Are you even listening?]

After talking for a while, Duan Xian realized there had been no reaction from the other end of the phone.

"Listening, listening, so someone deleted it, no big deal, don’t panic. You sound out of breath. Have a drink of water first.

No matter how unlucky the crew is, they can’t just withhold your salary, can they?"

[Is it really about my salary now? It’s not the time for that!

Lingjing Media is the largest investor in this movie, don’t tell me you have no connection with their boss!

And your landlord, who’s mysterious as hell, has also put in tens of millions, right?

If this movie tanks, you’re going to be carrying more than just baggage; you’ll be holding the pot!]

Meng Lang warmed at the concern in Duan Xian’s words.

Not wanting to beat around the bush any longer, he replied cheerfully,

"What’s the rush? It’s just the final edits that are gone, not all the original footage. Just re-edit it and it will be fine."

[You make it sound so simple. Can post-production just ’biu’ and be done with it?] Duan Xian retorted irritably.

"Hey, maybe it really is just a ’biu’ and done, you know?"

[What do you mean?] ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

"Relax, I bet Spirit Realm Company already has a contingency plan in place. Don’t believe me? Go ask them."

This incident had already been reported to Gao Yuan, and Baiyeji Company had also established a new "AIGC" department in anticipation. Everything was ready; it was just a matter of Xu Jingsong making his move...

[Hm... Why do I feel like you’re not at all surprised by this sudden predicament?]

Duan Xian finally sensed something amiss and calmed down.

"Surprised? Of course, I’m surprised, but I’m not the one involved, so why worry about such things?

I suggest you do the same; earning an extra’s salary while fretting over a producer’s problems!"

[...]

[Alright, I’m going to check with Spirit Realm Company first, then let’s meet and talk later.]

"Go ahead! You’re such a big shot now, getting chauffeured around in nanny cars. If the paparazzi snap photos of you at my place, I won’t be able to explain it!"

[Jerk!] Duan Xian couldn’t help but laugh on the other end.

[The same place tonight, I’ve booked the private room. If you don’t show up, we’re through as friends!]

He hung up the phone, slightly resigned.

The usual spot... it’s quite a walk from here, and I don’t have a nanny car...

Ah well, I’ll just ride my shared bike.

I’d be wasting the discount coupon otherwise...

He stroked his chin thoughtfully.

"Come to think of it, it’s been so long since I’ve ridden one that I almost forgot about the 100 yuan deposit I left in that shared bike...

Buy bikes... put them on the market... collect deposits... buy more bikes... release them... collect more deposits...

emm...

Why does this feel oddly familiar?

Shaking his head, he once again opened the door to his study.

The fruits of his previous life had been almost entirely depleted by now.

Before meeting with his future father-in-law, it was time to see what attitude the old man had towards him...
