Hammer of Technology

Because if you give up those short-selling contracts now, it will cause at least a loss of more than one billion US dollars, and his future in this life will also be destroyed because of this more than one billion US dollars. Not to mention that this operation will become his permanent There will be no place for him in this line, and he may even die because Bernie Cushing knows very well that the company will never list this failure to report to the management as a normal loss.

He stayed up all night yesterday, it was already Friday morning, and he was still searching for his own lifeline on the Internet.

Under such circumstances, Ning Wei's Weibo article came into his eyes.

Well, to be honest, the first time he saw this Weibo was on the entertainment section of a website that was searched by Google, and then he planned to skim it.After all, a young Chinese man posted such a Weibo, and he felt that it was not convincing.

However, just when he was about to click on the website to search for more useful information, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

If an unknown person in Huaxia posted this Weibo, why would it be reposted by a fairly well-known European portal entertainment news?Thinking of this, he stopped what he was doing, carefully browsed the news, and then quickly grasped the key points. This person is called Ning Wei, who is recognized by the academic circle as a genius in mathematics and computers. The princess of the Snow Country in Europe had a scandal, so his Weibo was fortunate enough to land on the entertainment page.

Seeing the name Ningwei, Bernie Cushing immediately thought of the World Artificial Intelligence Conference that he had paid close attention to. The speeches made by scientists from Google and several other companies seemed to mention the name of a talented young man in China. It's just that he is not very sensitive to the names of Huaxia people, so he can't be sure whether the Huaxia boy who posted Weibo is really the guy mentioned at the meeting.

Soon he found the full version of the video of the last meeting on the Internet, and began to compare it carefully, and then he was stunned, stunned in surprise!The two are actually the same person! Ningwei, that magical Chinese boy...

Happiness came so fast, it even made him feel dizzy!

So the founders of all the theories about the inflation of the concept of the metaverse themselves are not optimistic about the concept of the metaverse?

Bernie Cushing picked up the phone almost tremblingly. Regardless of the fact that it was only five o'clock in the morning and the first ray of sunlight outside the window hadn't shone through the window, he made a call directly.

After ringing for a long time, the phone was finally connected.

"Bernie, damn it, it's half an hour before I wake up, are you crazy? Calling me so early."

There were complaints on the phone, but at this time Bernie Cushing had completely calmed down and said loudly: "But Lloyd, didn't you forget that you asked me to go for a morning run yesterday? God, who is it?" Those who are clamoring to start exercising, don't sleep, we should get up and go for a morning run."

After saying this, the other person was obviously stunned for a moment, and then replied: "Okay, Bernie, I forgot to sleep, but it's too early, it's only five o'clock! Okay, okay, you go to the park for a morning run first Well, I'll be there later."

"Ok!"

After hanging up the phone, Bernie Cushing changed into sportswear, then opened the safe at home, took out two stacks of money from it, and put them in his pocket, then walked out of the apartment with his pockets in them, and started Trotting all the way, passing the big cow and the church, after sweating profusely, he also ran to a battery park square outside Wall Street, and opposite the park was the Statue of Liberty, a famous attraction in New York.

In the early autumn morning, there are not many tourists on Wall Street, and you can’t even see a few young people jogging in the morning. After all, it’s common to stay up late to survive here. People who have spent a day under heavy and high pressure prefer to go to the bar for a drink. A glass, relax the tight nerves with alcohol and noise.

Soon he saw another jogging figure, Bernie Cushing waved to this alumnus, and then the two quickly started jogging side by side.

"Bernie, huh...give me a reason, huh...otherwise I will definitely block you, I didn't go to sleep until [-] o'clock last night, huh...you called me out for a morning run at [-] o'clock!"

Bernie Cushing didn't talk nonsense, he just took out the two stacks of banknotes he had just prepared from his pocket and handed them over.

"Here is [-] U.S. dollars...you take it away...don't worry...this money is not hot at all, remember our agreement? You will go online to check a Chinese computer genius, his name is Ning Wei...he is here Posted a Weibo about eight hours ago... something similar to our Facebook! Post his Weibo and resume on the front page of the Wall Street Journal's official website today... You can still get $[-]! Of course, if you can guarantee a better result, then it will be $[-], not the first round, Lloyd, you should be able to trust my credit... right?"

The other person silently stuffed the banknotes in his hand into his pocket, and then complained: "But you shouldn't call me at this time, what a coincidence, do you know? Damn it! What a coincidence!"

"No time, Lloyd, I don't have time! And we just went for a morning run together, and I didn't send you any documents, you just saw this message on the Internet by coincidence, and you can even explain that it was from me I heard the news here, and then felt that this news needs to be published in the Wall Street Journal. Isn’t this a very legal thing? Don’t worry about the risk, there is no risk. All the money is old banknotes that I have prepared for a long time, as long as If you don’t use this money indiscriminately, no one will suspect you! Remember this is Wall Street! Lloyd!”

Bernie Cushing continued emphatically.

"Yes, this is Wall Street, well, let's keep running, there is still time. Don't worry, but if the effect is surprisingly good, I don't think you will mind raising my dividend a little bit. I've heard some gossip, Bernie, tell me, if you turn around this time, of course I deserve more, right?"

Bernie Cushing glanced sideways at the people around him, and even smiled: "Of course, we are brothers standing in the same boat. If I can succeed this time, what's the point of paying a little more money? Tell me, You have a better plan, don't you?"

"I can't promise, I'm just fighting for what I deserve. Well, I don't even know what that Huaxia said on the damn Weibo. If I can turn you around this time, I want 20 Dollars, Bernie, besides the 18, you have to prepare another [-] dollars, isn't that too much?"

"Of course! That's the decision!"

"Ok!"

198 A Weibo and the Evaporation of Hundreds of Billions

At seven o'clock in the morning, the deserted streets began to be lively. For countless people, this was just an ordinary Friday, the last trading day in September.Next up is the first weekend of October.

For Wall Street fund managers, at least they can choose their own way to relax for the next day.Of course, that was after five o'clock.After all, every trading day is like a war.

Generally speaking, most Wall Street elites start their working day with researching various financial information, but everyone obtains information through different channels.Of course, most of the information is obtained through the omnipotent network.

Traditional newspapers are still ordered by people, but in the face of a market where every second counts, no one will put their chips on the slow-moving paper media like an old man.Of course, in order to adapt to the new era, almost all newspaper groups have launched official websites of their own newspaper brands.

Among them, the most popular on Wall Street is naturally the "Wall Street Journal". This newspaper founded in 1889 has watched the development and glory of Wall Street with a cold eye.

In the new era, although the "Wall Street Journal" is no longer the first source of information for many fund managers, it is still a website that everyone must visit every day.

Because as long as one's competitors are still watching, others have to watch. In the financial market, omission of any small information that seemed inconspicuous at the time may affect their judgment and cause huge losses.

In this way, Ning Wei appeared in front of countless financial giants as a spoiler.

Huaxia's genius boy posted a Weibo to disclose the concept of DISS Metaverse?Is the Wall Street Journal crazy?Is the opinion of a Chinese person worthy of being placed on the front page?Wait, this Ning Wei is the proposer of the big data super compression theory that was highly praised by many scientists at the latest World Artificial Intelligence Conference?

In fact, this news is not a big deal. It is normal for the scientific community to have disputes over various new technologies, but this report also intercepted many well-known university professors’ negative comments on the concept of the metaverse. Very interesting.

In particular, many scientists who have given great confidence to metaverse technology actually want to use the theory of a Chinese teenager who is not optimistic about the development prospects of this technology?

Really, it is no exaggeration to say that at [-] o'clock in the morning, one hour and fifteen minutes before the stock market opened for auction, countless fund managers and investors who bet on the technology sector read this article several times, including Ning Wei read the Weibo article written directly in English many times.Some people even directly logged on to the Huaxia website and found the original version research on Weibo.Someone even called Huaxia directly and began to inquire about the situation.

As a result, the topic that Huaxia was still on the top of the hot search took root on Wall Street smoothly.

At 08:30, many people's phones began to ring intensively.At this time, Bernie Cushing had already rushed to his desk, waiting for the news to slowly ferment at all levels.

At [-]:[-], his boss, Felix Hodgson, rushed to his desk, stared at him and asked, "Bernie, don't tell you that you don't know the news on the front page of the Wall Street Journal today. Tell me , is this directed by you?"

"Oh my god, how is it possible, Mr. Hodgson, do you think I can connect with a genius scientist far away in China? If you just spent 10 minutes studying his resume, you will know that Dr. Ning Wei has no study abroad experience." Experience, he just went to two World Computing Conferences, one in Washington, the other in Montreal, and I was in this building staring at the screen while he was at the conference."

Bernie Cushing spread his hands and said something innocently, but then looked at Felix Hodgson with piercing eyes and said: "But I am sure of one thing, the concept of metaverse is too advanced, just like what I told yesterday As you reported, I graduated from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. I consulted many former professors. Few people are really optimistic that this concept can be completed within ten years. Unless there is a major technological breakthrough in science, some basic problems cannot be solved at all. Solve it! This is science that does not depend on anyone's will!"

"Of course, as I said yesterday, the bubble will definitely be burst in the end, but they will wait until the situation is well established before bursting the bubble with their own hands. If we wait until then, it will be too late in the layout, and we can only follow those Big companies are left behind, so why can’t we pierce this illusion with our own hands? Then our profits may be infinitely magnified! Do you know, Mr. Hodgson!”

Felix looked at Bernie Cushing seriously and said, "You still don't understand, Bernie, why I can survive on this street, because I have always been cautious enough, and I know it seems cowardly to you But do you know what it means? Not to mention that you didn't do enough, you only got one chance, and now they've reacted, you don't know how much energy they can muster in one day to fight back, Bo Ni!"

"No matter how careful you are, I bet a hundred dollars that the news that you've been quietly shorting the stocks of these companies is in front of the big shots, and yes, if you want to be famous, you've done Arrived, but I guess you must be underestimating their power. Do you think you are the only one so sane in this market? Do you know how many people will benefit from this concept? No, you know nothing!"

"For you, fighting this time is putting your life on the line, but for others it's just a little less money. You may think it's unfair, but this is reality! Bernie, if you fail this time, you Have you thought about what the future holds?"

Bernie Cushing calmly replied: "Yes, maybe I'm risking my life, but Mr. Hodgson, as you said, I must not be the only one who is sober. How do you know that I am the only one who will take it?" How about risking your life? Wall Street is never short of adventurers, maybe this sword is not enough, but I have no other choice, why don't you say that you didn't give me enough time? This is the end, so why don't we put everything together Leave it to the market."

Their eyes met, and finally Felix looked at the time on the computer. It was already [-]:[-], so he asked, "Okay, tell me, how many chips do you have left?"

"Three hundred million!" Bernie Cushing replied.

"I can give you another billion permissions to conquer me with your operations. Remember, you only have this one chance. And you are betting not only on your future, but even your life." Throwing away these words, Felix Hodgson turned away, leaving Bernie Cushing and his team behind.

"Did you hear that? Guys, now we have 13 billion available funds in our hands, and we are all ready. Today is a tough battle, and it depends on whether we live or die."

A simple sentence has aroused everyone's fighting spirit. Yes, the matter has reached this point, and it seems that there is no choice but to give it a go.

Finally, at 16.7:20 a.m., the centralized bidding for U.S. stocks began, and the operation site became busy immediately. AppSoul, Roblox, WIMI Hologram "WIMI has a new buy order of $3.2 for [-] shares, an increase of [-]%!"

"Roblox's latest pending order is $107.82 for 50 shares, an increase of 7.6%!"

"Soul's latest pending order is $98 for 37 shares, an increase of 6%!"

……

Bernie Cushing stared expressionlessly at the disk, and by the way, stared at the time below. One minute had passed, and these metaverse concept stocks were still being pushed up, but he was not in a hurry, but decided to add another Fire up: "Roblox is $1, WIMI is $109.5, Soul is $18, and Facebook is $200 with 405.5 shares each."

Soon the team's assistants in charge of their respective stocks entered the information into the system based on his speech.Soon nearly [-] million U.S. dollars were poured into the stock market.

Of course, Bernie Cushing didn't really want to push up these actual prices. According to Wall Street rules, the bidding orders from [-]:[-] to [-]:[-] will not be sold immediately after they are placed, but can be sold at any time. withdrawn.So all the matching volumes seen at this time are basically false.So he really doesn't mind letting all investors see the more false prosperity of metaverse concept stocks.

At 50:[-], everyone stared at the screen in front of them, and the quotations continued until one minute and fifty seconds later, Bernie Cushing immediately ordered: "Withdraw all the orders just now!"

Soon all the purchase orders that had just been placed were withdrawn, and Bernie Cushing believed that he was definitely not alone in withdrawing the orders at this time.Of course, there may still be orders that have not been withdrawn, but there is no need to continue the game before the opening. The $13 billion is not enough for him to bet against the losses caused by the skyrocketing of these stocks. Its only role is to expand the gains.Sweat was already dripping from the tip of his nose, as he told Felix, he could only leave everything to the market.

The real stock market game is actually far less thrilling than what is shown in the movie. The real situation is that before the plan is to make troubles in the stock market, the layout has already been made and it will take several months or even longer. At the moment when he sees the popularity, in fact, what the operator does most is to wait, waiting for an answer from the market, whether he can beat those giants.

Bernie Cushing stared at the screen, and the time came to 26:[-].

"Down, Facebook down two points."

"Roblox is up 1.2% now."

"Soul up 0.8%."

……

"An additional [-] million Facebook shorts, [-] million Roblox shorts, and [-] million Soul shorts! Immediately!" Bernie Cushing made a decision immediately, and the billion dollars he had just received were used in the most powerful three on a concept stock.

At this moment, he had a strong premonition that today's opening of these three stocks will peak, and his fate will soon change!

……

The time difference between Huaxia and New York's daylight saving time is exactly twelve hours. When Wall Street opened, it was already 09:30 in the night of Huaxia. For countless ordinary families, it was the time when the family sat in front of the sofa and watched TV.And for many young people, the good nightlife has only just begun.

After all, the next day is National Day. Seven consecutive days of national statutory holidays are enough for people to relax. People who are going to travel are already on the way. Of course, more people choose to stay at home for various reasons. It is also a kind of happiness. , the bars and squares in the city are surprisingly lively, and the holiday economy is beginning to show its power this night.

Of course, there are also many hard-working people who are working overtime. There is no way to maintain the normal operation of society. There are always some jobs that cannot be separated from people.Of course, a higher salary than usual can somewhat comfort the bitter mood of the overtime dog.

But no matter what you are doing, in this era when the mobile Internet has penetrated into every corner of people's lives, it will not too much affect everyone's continued attention to hot events on the Internet, such as the Ningwei incident.

Yes, Ningwei's haphazard move to shut down the comment section angered many people even more.What do you mean?Going online to the comment section means that everyone is aware of their dissatisfaction, but there is no explanation, let alone deletion of Weibo, not even a single comment. What does it mean to simply close the comment section?

So is this really ignoring everyone's anger?Forget about ordinary netizens, can’t you see the voices of so many big Vs?Can Xueba be so dick?So following Ning Wei's behavior of turning off the comment function, many people on Weibo became more violent.

It was ten o'clock, when the Internet was the busiest, and the people who made the most noise hadn't noticed that a financial microblog was posted by the official Weibo of a well-known financial magazine, Jijia Finance.

"American technology concept stocks encountered a black swan event, the three major metaverse concept stocks suffered a collective plunge, Facebook, Roblox, and Soul had a flash crash at the opening, of which Facebook and Soul triggered a circuit breaker due to a 5% plunge within 7 minutes, Roblox After opening two points higher, it plummeted 5%. Affected by the black swan incident, Google fell by more than 8%, Intel fell by 6%, and companies in the upstream and downstream industrial chains of Metaverse were affected to varying degrees. Among Huagai stocks, Ali led the decline of [-]% %, Penguin Group fell [-]%. Nearly $[-] billion evaporated.”

Less than 2 minutes after this Weibo was posted, the second Weibo was posted immediately.

"According to the exclusive information obtained by our reporter, the black swan incident that caused the U.S. stock market to plummet this time is suspected to be caused by a Weibo post by a Chinese scientist. Ning Wei, a Ph. A disapproval of the metaverse concept was published on Weibo, which quickly sparked heated discussions. This Weibo was quoted on the homepage of the Wall Street Journal’s official website at 7:38 New York time. Experts confirmed that Google Labs was included in the World Artificial Intelligence Conference. Scientist Hoyt and many other scientists mentioned the big data high compression theory is Ning Wei, and this theory is currently widely considered by the scientific community to be used in the basic structure of the metaverse.”

The second Weibo also directly gave an edited clip of a scientist at Google Labs speaking about Ning Wei’s theory at the World Artificial Intelligence Conference.

Soon, these two microblogs began to be reposted by countless bigwigs in the financial circle. After all, this is really a big event!

199 The Response You Want (Late Night Update Request Monthly Pass)

The fastest time to spread on the Internet is probably a big event that is closely related to countless people's wallets, except for celebrity scandals.There are actually not a few Huaxia players speculating in US stocks. They may be too lazy to respond to the messy hot searches on Weibo, but they are very responsive to some front-line financial bloggers.

Especially when seeing the violent volatility of US technology stocks, after all, technology stocks in the US stock market have always been the focus of players.The reason is simple. Currently, the top ten companies with the highest market capitalization in the U.S. stock market are Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Google parent company, Facebook, Penguin Group, Tesla, Ali Group, Berkshire and Visa. .

The top eight of the ten companies with the highest market capitalization are all technology companies, and Ning Wei's Weibo post happened to target these technology companies with the most inflated market capitalization.Although we are talking about the concept of the metaverse, one counts as one. Basically, except for Microsoft and Amazon, which are still waiting and watching, other technology companies have already invested in the concept of operating the metaverse.

In particular, Facebook is heavily involved, Google’s lab has been endorsing the metaverse, and Tesla’s boss, Master, is also a platform for the future metaverse.Ali and Penguin in Huagai Stocks have also begun to deploy, and one of them has been affected, and by the way, the entire technology sector has started a chattering mode.

What is Black Friday, this is the standard Black Friday.

And these, if you want to trace back to the source, it turned out to be only because of a Weibo that was hyped in China!

So at this moment, Weibo started to blow up again!

"Mmp, make a fuss! Make a fuss with a hammer! Who the hell said Xueba is not good? Xueba posted a Weibo in the morning, and you guys are so popular that I have already lost 3 w! What black swan? It's all because of you!" Stir it up for idiots!"

"Ning Wei doesn't understand the metaverse? Ning Wei doesn't understand the metaverse like you?! The metaverse you've blown up so much needs to use the theory proposed by Ning Wei to build it! Do you want to know who said it? This is Google Scientist said it! Let’s go and see what’s going on with American technology stocks? You guys who have been scolding for a day, just relying on a Weibo to make your metaverse concept stocks fall so much that you don’t even know them! Fuck, you lost [-] at the opening Knife, who should I ask for reasoning?"

"Shut up, I thank you idiots! If you know English, go read the Wall Street Journal, and if you don't understand English, please go to the Weibo of Jijia Finance! It's not your fault for being uneducated, But if you are uneducated and pretend to be educated, then you are wrong! Losing money is already in a bad mood, and why do you want to see you jumping up and down here! It's even more annoying!"

Most of these are losses of money. Although they came to complain about the loss of money, not many people really scolded Ningwei.The reason is actually very simple. First of all, Ning Wei directly closed the Weibo comment area, and people's attitude is there, even if they scold them, they will not pay attention!

Secondly, after all, there is a short-selling mechanism in U.S. stocks. For those who lose money, they still have enough time to stop losses after reading Ningwei’s Weibo, and they can even buy short immediately to make a small profit. I saw Ning Wei's Weibo a few hours in advance.

So it's meaningless to simply scold Ning Wei, but you always need to relieve your depressed heart, and those jumping up and down guys become the best targets.After all, people are always used to blaming other people for their mistakes. For example, if it weren't for these people who were chattering about the Yuan Universe, maybe they would believe Ning Wei's words and stop the loss immediately?How can I balance my mood without scolding at this time?

Of course there are losses, and there are also profits. After all, there is a stock market with a short-selling mechanism. Some people read Ningwei’s Weibo and tried to short-sell these stocks, and then suddenly made a lot of money. Naturally, there is excitement. Many people also jumped out and said a few words.

"Ningwei is awesome! Who dares to say that Ningwei is not awesome, stand up and watch me and slap me in the face! There is also a problem with Huaxia Education, please can't move your fingers to search before you spray someone? People Do you understand Xueba’s platooning? Haha, listen to Ning Wei’s words and make a lot of money, [-] yuan in half an hour! If you really listen to it, you will lose your underwear!”

"Thanks to Dr. Ning Wei for his righteous speech on Weibo. I have long felt that this metaverse concept is not right. It is simply too outrageous. I bought a set of expensive vr equipment for half an hour because of these people's bragging. Throw me away, and dare to say that it will build a virtual community that benefits the whole world? Has it been punctured now? Thanks to my insistence on shorting roblox, I have made a small profit of [-] dollars, which is already in my pocket. "

"I can be regarded as a witness to history. Before I was killed today, I would never have imagined that a Chinese scientist's Weibo could directly evaporate hundreds of billions of market value in the US stock market. That's awesome! That's why I said that some people in China really knelt down for a long time. I can’t get up anymore. Everything they have is good, so why don’t you listen more to what they say? Won’t your conscience hurt when you spray Ningwei?”

"Are you embarrassed @官方微博 to explain to you? Does the official have time to deal with you clowns who don’t know what’s going on and gossip on the Internet? Where are the top-notch youths? It’s worthy. Huaxia’s top-notch young man who can send out Weibo and make the U.S. technology stocks plummet, please find another one for me? It’s okay if you can’t find half of one!”

……

These turbulent comments matched with the financial microblog that had been crazily forwarded countless times before, and with the special time of the eve of the National Day holiday, the popularity of the entire Weibo exploded once again. #宁为一个微博听美股黑繁事件# The popularity is also rising crazily at a speed visible to the naked eye. At 10:30, it just entered the top [-] hot searches, and at [-]:[-] at night, it has already rushed to the top of the list. Search the first position.

So a very strange scene appeared on Weibo's hot search list. Three of the top ten searches were about Ningwei, ranking first, second and seventh respectively. Work hard, all kinds of @official all kinds of big Vs who asked for explanations, and what fanatical followers were almost stunned in an instant, dumbfounded!

what's going on?

Ning Wei’s paper published at the STOC conference actually talked about the theory proposed by Google scientists that can be used for the construction of metaverse infrastructure?Why haven't I heard of this before?What is the logic?These foreigners put forward the concept last year, but pin their hopes on the theory that was only researched this year, isn't it so fun?
