Chapter 88 Online
The highway shooting incident that occurred on Qingxi Mountain Road was inevitably reported in the newspapers, but due to the power of money, the real cause of the incident was hidden and it turned into a failed kidnapping case.
The Vietnamese man who was run over by the car became a member of a kidnapping gang, and a nobleman named Liu became the target of the kidnappers. As for the woman who died in the car, she was simply described in the newspaper as "resulting in the deaths of two people."
Liu Taihe was indeed a brave man. This assassination attempt not only failed to scare him, but instead aroused his madness. Before, he only wanted to create a blackjack gambling website in addition to the flower card website, but now, he has officially decided to cooperate with Jin Kangmin to create the multi-game platform.
An Rushong's guess was correct. Over the past period of time, Jin Kangmin had indeed recruited a group of people. He set up a studio in Gwacheon City to develop this platform project.
However, although the people he recruited were all good, they had no relevant programming experience and had to learn everything by themselves. Why was An Rusong so highly valued? In the final analysis, there were no programming experts in Korea at that time, and An Rusong was a scarce resource.
After a night talk with Liu Taihe and Jin Kangmin, it was finally determined that An Rusong was not directly involved in the production of the platform. He only provided guidance to those recruited by Jin Kangmin. With a monthly salary of 700 million won, he only needed to go to the studio for two hours every night.
Influenced by the assassination of Liu Taihe, An Rushong also tried his best to avoid direct connection with the platform project. He even covered himself tightly every time he went to Gwacheon City and took a taxi.
In fact, his cover-up is not very effective, but what if one day in the future, these seemingly crude disguises can play a role?
As for prevention work, we should not expect ten thousand things, but just be prepared for the worst.
Entering late September, the heat that has plagued Seoul for nearly two months seems to be gradually subsiding, but the rainy weather has not improved at all.
When I woke up this morning, there were fine raindrops floating in the sky. The rain was not heavy, but it brought more freshness to the whole city.
On the third floor of NGN Company, An Rushong walked into the office area carrying a briefcase. Behind him, there were a dozen workers in blue work clothes.
"Put it here, put it here," he walked into the office area and directed the workers behind him to move the vending machines, coffee machines and other things that had been brought up to the specially designated rest area on the far right and place them one by one.
The rest area had been planned long ago, but it had been basically empty for some time. There was only a water dispenser in front of the small bar, and a box on top of the bar, which contained some instant coffee every day.
More often than not, this rest area is used by programmers as a smoking area.
Today, in addition to An Rusong, the entire NGN company has 23 employees, including 14 programmers, 10 men and 4 women, all of whom are Russians.
Among the remaining 9 employees, 5 are cleaners. They are not only responsible for the sanitation and cleaning of the office area on the 3rd floor, but also for the cleaning of the employee accommodation area on the 2nd floor.
As for the remaining four employees, there are two security personnel and two financial personnel. These two financial personnel were arranged by the Zhao brothers. They are mainly responsible for managing the company's accounts, including paying salaries to employees. Of course, their most important task is to monitor the company's use of funds and report to the Zhao brothers regularly.
As the saying goes, "Brothers should settle accounts clearly", not to mention that An Rushong and the Zhao brothers are not blood brothers.
The Zhao brothers usually don't go to the company, and they don't interfere with the normal operation of the company. An Rusong, as the chairman and president of the company, leads all the affairs of the company. In this case, it is completely reasonable for the brothers to arrange two financial officers to come and keep an eye on how the company's funds are used.
Over the past half month, the entire NGN company has been operating at high load. An Rushong had no time to care about anything else but to develop the test version of "NGN" as soon as possible and then put it online immediately.
Fortunately, the efforts of more than two weeks have not been in vain. By the night before yesterday, the final online work was finally completed. And yesterday, the Earth Fire Cheat 2.0 was officially launched.
In order to promote the NGN software, An Rusong added a small pop-up window to the Dihuo plug-in 2.0. When the user of the plug-in logs in to the plug-in, the program will pop up this window first to remind the user to download the NGN instant messaging software and contact the plug-in customer service through the software.
There is a link in the pop-up window. After opening it, you can directly see the NGN number of the customer service of the Dihuo plug-in. No matter which customer service's NGN number is added, you can receive the NGN group number provided by the customer service. In the future, plug-in users can contact the customer service in the group if they have any needs.
The launch of the beta version finally made the company feel relieved, so today An Rusong went out to buy a series of items such as vending machines and coffee machines to decorate the rest area. Later, he also planned to order some lazy sofas, game consoles, billiards and other things, and even some low-alcohol wine and drinks to make the company's rest area worthy of its name.
Of course, the boss needs to exploit employees, but the more covert the exploitation is, the better, and try not to let employees notice it. To put it bluntly, the goal is to make the company more humane.
An Rushong did not sign employment contracts of a certain number of years with the company's programmers. They can leave at any time. In order to retain them for as long as possible, constantly improving treatment and benefits is the most powerful weapon.
An Rusong did not require the company's programmers to work a certain number of hours a day, nor did he require them to stay at their workstations all the time. He only had one requirement, which was that once a task was assigned, it must be completed on time, in quantity, and with quality. As long as they could do this, they could treat the company like a bar.
The coffee beans in the rest area are free, and the snacks in the vending machines are also free. Anyway, these things are not expensive, so they are perfect for winning people's hearts.
Sure enough, when the vending machines and other things were put in place and An Rushong announced the company's new benefits to the programmers in the office area, cheers suddenly filled the entire office area. During this time, a tall and long-legged girl rushed over, hugged An Rushong and kissed him madly.
Unfortunately, although this girl has a great figure, her appearance is less than 70 points. Otherwise, An Rushong wouldn't mind pulling her to his office to have a good emotional exchange.
After calming down the excited programmers, An Rushong gave another speech, mainly to paint a rosy picture for everyone, and then returned to his office.
In his office, the TV hanging on the wall was still on, broadcasting the news that Fukuda Kangfu won the election as the new Prime Minister of Japan, and below the news interface, the latest financial news was scrolling.
After sitting back at his desk, he lit a cigarette for himself, then opened the system backend and looked at the relevant data after NGN went online.
With the push of the 2.0 version of the Dihuo plug-in, the number of registered users of the NGN software has now exceeded 9 and is rapidly moving towards the 10 mark.
This data may not sound like much, but it is actually quite a lot. After all, the software has only been online for a short time, and the entire South Korea and Japan are only this big, with a total population of just over 100 million.
The most important thing is that whether in South Korea or Japan, the instant messaging tools that netizens have always used are things like ICQ and MSN. It is not an easy task to introduce a brand new messaging tool into their lives.
In order to push a software, you have to spend money on promotion, which is something no IT company can avoid.
After browsing the background data for a while, An Rushong exited it and then opened Seeking Alpha again.
Seeking Alpha is a stock analysis website. In An Rushong's previous life, the website had already grown and its partners included a series of large media outlets.
However, in 2007, this website is not that popular. There are only about financial analysts gathered here. It is more like a small online circle of Wall Street financial analysts. Not many people know and understand this website.
To be honest, as a reborn person, An Rusong knew too little about finance in his previous life. The reason why he knew about this website was not because of his memories in his previous life, but because Mike told him.
Moreover, during those years, Seeking Alpha also implemented a membership invitation system, which meant that if a new member wanted to register as a member of the website, they did not need to pay a fee, but they needed an invitation code provided by an old member. The invitation code that An Rusong used to register as a member was sent to him by Mike.
To be honest, when An Rushong logged into this website for the first time, he felt as if someone had opened a window in front of him, and in a daze, he came into contact with a whole new world.
Right on the website's forum, there is a quantitative rating for some popular stocks, and in recent times, Apple's stock is one of the popular ones.
Looking at the rating changes over the past half month, we can find that Apple's stock has been downgraded from "strong buy" to "buy", and even 9 members rated it as "hold". This means that continuing to hold Apple stock is no longer profitable.
