"The Internet." Qin Yi repeated it again, "It is the Internet! The network that computers are connected to."
"Do you know what the Internet is?" Qin Yi suddenly asked.
"I know the Internet, what does this have to do with killers?" Zhao Guomin felt a little baffled.
Of course Zhao Guomin knows what the Internet is, but that’s limited to what he knows.
Because he usually doesn't use this thing at all, and he doesn't need it. The computer on his desk is just a decoration.
Secretaries and employees are responsible for the specific work that requires computer operation, and he will never touch it.
He doesn't need a computer for his business, let alone for entertainment. He doesn't even watch TV.
After all, you can’t imagine the happiness of rich people.
Zhao Guomin's understanding of computers and the Internet cannot be said to be better than nothing, he can be considered completely ignorant.
"Do you know what the Internet can do?" Qin Yi asked again.
Now Zhao Guomin doesn't know how to answer, he knows nothing.
After all, Hong Kong Island was only connected to the Internet in 1991, so very few people know about the Internet.
When people don't understand something, they tend to make up a lot of things in their minds. Especially if the thing is related to high technology or science, it is easier for people to imagine it as omnipotent.
Just like computers in this era and quantum physics in later generations.
It's just that Zhao Guomin doesn't understand what the relationship between the killer and the Internet is.
"Does Boss Zhao know what a BBS forum is? What is a website?" Qin Yi asked again.
Seeing Zhao Guoguo nodding and shaking his head, he also had a little understanding, Qin Yi knew that the opportunity had come to help others solve their doubts.
"Bulletin board system, translated as electronic bulletin board, as long as you know the address of this bbs and link to it, everyone can use your computer to post announcements and reply to messages." Qin Yi picked up a whiteboard and wrote on it.
I added a few words, "Everyone can publish information and be seen by others, which has the function of communication."
"And this communication is open, and multiple people can participate in the interaction, just like a conference room or forum, and everyone can express their own information freely."
"BBS functions as a communication platform. Multiple people can communicate and interact. What did you think of, Boss Zhao?"
Boss Zhao suddenly realized, "You mean..."
"That's right." Qin Yi nodded, and wrote another line of words and numbers on the whiteboard, "Target information, plus price, this is the information published by the customer."
"The killer can leave a message on the electronic bulletin board to express his willingness to accept the order. The customer will reply and confirm the candidate, and the order process will be completed."
"The killer completes the target, waits for customer confirmation, then pays, and the transaction is completed."
"The greatest advantage of the Internet is that it connects the world, making communication between people around the world faster and more convenient. As long as there is a computer and a network, communication can be done anywhere in the world, and the two parties do not need to meet at all."
"Another advantage is concealment, which protects privacy to the maximum extent. Through the Internet, you don't know who is communicating with you on the other end. You don't know his appearance, skin color, name, gender, and you don't even know whether he is
No one knows."
Zhao Guomin's eyes lit up, "Gathering killers and customers from all over the world through computer networks and letting them do business on our territory, wonderful! Excellent!"
"What a genius idea!"
"Does Boss Zhao think this business is worth doing?" Qin Yi asked with a smile.
"This plan is very good." Zhao Guomin pondered for a few seconds, "But there are still some problems. What are you doing... Oh, bbs forum, how do you let the killers around the world know about it and attract them? You can't go everywhere.
Let’s advertise.”
"Also, everyone can speak on it and everything written can be seen. This is not appropriate. It is inconvenient for privacy."
"The most important thing is this payment..."
"These are not problems." Qin Yi laughed, "I will be responsible for the publicity and recruitment issues."
"The forum adopts a registered membership system to restrict visitors from entering. Only customers who have been certified by us can log in through an electronic account and password."
"BBS can be divided into several areas. Some simple information can be posted through messages. Those who are interested in communicating can communicate through the private chat system built into the forum. The private chat system is one-to-one and absolutely safe."
"As for how to pay, this is the core of our business."
Qin Yi took off his mask and said with a mysterious face, "Every registered member must pay a deposit. This money will be deposited in our designated Swiss bank account. If the two parties negotiate a deal, we will act as the intermediary."
To conduct a transaction, the customer remits the money to our bank, we notify the killer of the action, wait for the killer to complete the task, and after the customer confirms, we remit the money to the killer."
"The client and the killer do not have direct financial transactions. We act as an intermediary to guarantee the safety of the funds and solve the trust problem between buyers and sellers. More importantly, if anything happens to the killer, the police will not trace the funds to the client through the financial transactions.
On my body."
"It takes a while for the killer to kill someone, for the customer to confirm the payment, and for us to remit the money. During this time, the funds can be at our disposal."
"Imagine a world-class platform, how much money would flow every day?"
"At least tens of millions of dollars!"
Zhao Guomin may not understand other things, but as someone who engages in stocks and financial laundering, he understands this last sentence instantly.
"Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful!" Zhao Guoguo became excited instantly and wished he could build this platform right away. "How to make this thing? Is it difficult?"
"Well." Qin Yi pondered for a few seconds, "As long as you find a few technical programmers, this thing is not difficult. BBS has been developed abroad for many years, and the technology is already very mature."
"However, it is a bit difficult to find programmers, mainly due to financial issues, and also to build servers and networks. These hardware equipment are relatively expensive."
Zhao Guomin understands this sentence better. He has also invested in people. This rhetoric is very familiar. Isn't it just asking for money?
"Just tell me how much you need." Zhao Guomin said very generously.
Qin Yi suddenly burst into laughter, and then his face turned cold, "I know that Boss Zhao is very wealthy and wealthy. It seems that the ransom last time was just drizzle to you."
Zhao Guomin was dumbfounded at once. How could he say something nice, but suddenly he turned against him?
We're not talking about business, why are you raising the knife again?
Qin Yi soon smiled again, "Don't be afraid, Boss Zhao. I am a person who values being friendly and making money. When it comes to business, the previous matter is over. Let's continue talking about business."
"Yes, yes, harmony brings wealth, harmony brings wealth!" Zhao Guomin forced a smile and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
"I said before that I would refund half of your money. The total is 75 million Hong Kong dollars and 5 million US dollars. The exchange ratio of US dollars and Hong Kong dollars is 1:7.8. How about I give you 100 million Hong Kong dollars?" Qin Yi looked at it with a smile.
Zhao Guomin.
"Uh, okay, okay." Zhao Guomin nodded fiercely.
"I built this platform by myself. My valuation of one billion Hong Kong dollars is not excessive, right?" Qin Yi asked.
"It's not excessive." Zhao Guomin thinks this valuation is still very reasonable.
"The 100 million counted as Boss Zhao's investment, converted into shares, is 10%. Is it reasonable?" Qin Yi asked.
"Reasonable, reasonable." Zhao Guomin nodded.
"Of course, one billion is just the first round of valuation." Qin Yi changed the topic, "After such a long period of development, the potential of the platform has basically emerged, with broad market prospects, successful business operations, fast development speed, and high user retention data.
The revenue is very impressive."
"Through top-level design, industry barriers have been broken, the user market has been sinking, and the industry ecology has been sorted out. By integrating with the world and deeply connecting with traditional industries, we have subverted the old business model and completed the necessary conditions for transformation to the top of the market.
."
"How much does it cost?" Zhao Guomin couldn't help but ask.
"The second round valuation is one billion." Qin Yi raised his palm, "US dollars."
"One billion U.S. dollars?" Zhao Guomin was shocked.
"That's right, it's one billion US dollars." Qin Yi said with a smile, "Boss Zhao, do you want to follow the second round of financing? If not, I will find someone else. I think someone must be interested in this business.
."
"You might as well go grab it!" Zhao Guomin was anxious.
"Boss Zhao, what are you talking about? We are discussing serious business now, and I'm not forcing you." Qin Yi immediately became unhappy. "If you don't want to invest money, I won't force you. I'll find the second one right away."
Investors, after you get your investment, I can let you cash out and exit the market, and I can help you withdraw your shares."
"No, I won't withdraw my shares." Zhao Guomin immediately shook his head. Are you kidding? He has already got on the bus and the platform is about to take off. I want to drive him off, but there is no door.
Even if you are a gangster, you can't bully people like this.
"It's okay if you don't withdraw your shares." Qin Yi shrugged indifferently, "But it's hard to say how much your equity will be diluted after the second round of financing, and there may be a third round later.
Four rounds of financing."
"It doesn't matter how many rounds of financing you raise, you have to tell me the reason for your valuation of one billion US dollars." Zhao Guoguo said with an angry look on his face, "You can't just say one billion is just one billion, you have to be reasonable." "The reason is very simple." Qin Yi sneered, "The strong profitability of the platform, coupled with the rapid expansion of scale."
"I can have the platform go online within a month and expand it to ten countries and regions, attracting no less than ten international professional killers."
"The most important thing is that the platform can make a profit within a month." Qin Yi raised a finger, "The profit will reach 100 million US dollars, at least."
"One hundred million U.S. dollars?" Zhao Guoguo's eyes widened, "This...how is this possible? You're not just talking nonsense, are you?"
Qin Yi took out a newspaper from his bag, turned to the second page and handed it to Zhao Guomin, "Look at this."
"Tsukamoto Co., Ltd. Chairman Tsukamoto Kenji has arrived in Hong Kong. It is reported that Tsukamoto Group will set up a branch headquarters on Hong Kong Island to launch new businesses..." Zhao Guomin felt a little baffled, "Why do you want me to see this?"
"I got reliable news that someone wants to assassinate Tsukamoto Kenji." Qin Yi clicked on the newspaper, "Tsukamoto is very afraid of death. He not only hired a large number of bodyguards, but also set up a complete set of the most advanced security systems in the club where he stayed.
And established a revenge foundation."
"If someone kills him, 100 million U.S. dollars will be injected into the Revenge Foundation and start operations. No matter who it is, as long as he avenges him, then 100 million U.S. dollars will be used as a bonus."
"One hundred million US dollars?" Zhao Guomin was shocked, and then thought of something, "Are you sure?"
"Of course, I have a strong intelligence network. Since I can know in advance that someone is going to assassinate Tsukamoto, I can also find the killer." Qin Yi stretched out his hand, shook it hard, and said with confidence, "Kill the killer by then, and the reward will be the platform's
First profit."
"How about it? Boss Zhao?" Qin Yi sneered, "Will you follow in this second round?"
Zhao Guomin frowned, lowered his head in thought, and the expression on his face kept changing.
"This killer platform is just a test of the waters." Qin Yi continued, "I will use it to verify this business model. After the operating system matures, this platform will continue to expand."
"After the expansion, the platform is not limited to the killer business field. Arms, unique products, smuggling and even money laundering will all be the direction in which the platform develops."
"By then, this platform will become the largest underground trading platform in the world, and the amount of funds flowing every day will be astronomical."
Zhao Guomin suddenly raised his head, "How much money do you want to raise?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
"The valuation is one billion U.S. dollars, and 20% of the shares will be released in the second round, which means that we will raise 200 million U.S. dollars for platform network construction, personnel recruitment, hardware construction, etc." Qin Yi raised two fingers at Zhao
In front of the people, "What do you think, Boss Zhao?"
"Two hundred million dollars?!" Zhao Guomin shook his head, "I don't have that much money."
"Boss Zhao, they say you have a net worth of tens of billions, that is, more than one billion US dollars, but you can't get out a mere 200 million?" Qin Yi sneered, "If you don't want to invest, forget it, I'll go find someone else right away, and when I get the money,
I’ll let you cash out and leave.”
"Wait a minute, wait a minute." Zhao Guoguo said quickly, "I really don't have a net worth of tens of billions. The money is not all mine, but also belongs to others."
"Huh?" Qin Yi was a little surprised, "Really?"
"Of course it's true. Don't read the boasts in the newspapers. I actually launder money for others." Zhao Guoguo said helplessly, "The money was just passed through me and I earned some handling fees. What I really do is
The net worth is only 2 billion, and most of it has been invested, so there really isn’t much liquidity.”
"Then how much can you get?" Qin Yi was a little impatient.
"I..." Zhao Guomin gritted his teeth, "Five hundred million Hong Kong dollars!"
Qin Yi thought for a while, "How about you take 600 million Hong Kong dollars, including the initial investment of 100 million, and I will convert it into 10% of the shares for you?"
"Happy cooperation!" Qin Yi laughed and extended his palm, "With Boss Zhao's great help, our platform will definitely become bigger and stronger and create greater glory!"
"Little brother, I'd like to lend you some good words." Zhao Guoguo stretched out his hand with emotion, "When we become rich, you can't forget me."
"That's not possible." Qin Yi vowed, "I am a trustworthy person!"
