The Goddess Shines on America

Chapter 181 The Targeted Blue Giant

From the time she flew to Redmond before the listing, until she noticed IBM's tricks after the listing, to collecting evidence and holding a press conference, Alice has not returned home for more than ten days. After making their findings public, and without the energy to pay attention to how the press was boiling, she flew back to Los Angeles.

But there is no doubt that there is still a lot of follow-up work.

While sitting on the plane, Alice was discussing this issue with her mother, Sophie, who returned with her.

"It's really a sheep running into a wolf's lair to die in vain. I actually used my router as a medium to hack into the Nasdaq exchange. Can the traces be more obvious? Just check the relevant cached data a little bit, and Acor's little thought will disappear." It's all exposed!"

Alice is also full of excitement whenever she recalls the actions of the past few days. After contacting the FBI and obtaining their authorization, the relevant personnel first came to Cisco to obtain the technical parameters of the old model routers, and then immediately obtained the remaining data of the routers used by the exchange from Washington. Of course, in terms of network infrastructure, the agents did not forget to visit the server operator at Alice's suggestion.

After five or six days, all the evidence was presented in front of everyone.

"Congress will definitely legislate against this incident. IBM illegally hacked into the NASDAQ exchange to interfere with stock market data. This is not only the first cybercrime in the world, but also a particularly serious crime!"

Sophie happily looked at the "Wall Street Journal" she bought just before boarding the plane. On the cover, her daughter's vigorous image at the press conference was deeply imprinted in history!

Also with that title.

"Cybercrime! ? The current IBM caught by Cisco! "

It was clearly a press conference of Microsoft Corporation, but the headline of the news was firmly locked on Alice's Cisco company. This was undoubtedly a change after Alice stated that she was the boss of Cisco Systems. The press release can be revised at any time. Whenever journalists notice a more valuable big news, they will absolutely overthrow the previous work without hesitation. This is the most typical example.

"Unfortunately, it's still a little early for us to go home."

Sophie looked at this article with joy. As the most senior financial magazine in the world, this issue of "The Wall Street Journal" rarely prints so many pictures for Alice like an entertainment newspaper. It's a pity that none of them are in color, otherwise it would be more similar!

"Otherwise, you can see how IBM's stock market has fallen all the way after the market opened today. They will definitely fall!"

Yes, news can be bought by office workers at six o'clock in the morning, and the stock market opens at nine thirty in the morning, which is enough time for angry stockholders to withdraw their funds substantially.

When the "Wall Street Journal" was freshly released in the morning, almost all readers in the United States were shocked!

It should be known that the "Wall Street Journal" has an extremely wide influence in the world, with a daily circulation of 2 million copies. It also publishes an Asian edition, a European edition, and an online edition, with a daily readership of more than 20 million. These readers are mainly people in the fields of politics, economy, education and medicine, financial tycoons and management personnel, and investors in the stock market, including about 200,000 chairman and general managers. Most of the managers of the 500 largest companies in the United States will also subscribe to this newspaper.

What kind of thoughts will such a group of people have after learning about such a criminal act by IBM?

"They actually hacked the NASDAQ exchange through the Internet!"

I don't know how many listed companies, the chairman of the board of directors immediately tried every means to contact the executives to hold a meeting on the way to the company.

"And they actually succeeded. Have you seen the data disclosed in the newspaper? On the day of Microsoft's public listing, there were such a number of stockholders who participated in the call auction! But what about the data we saw directly on the exchange? Almost no one Interested! No one participates in the bidding, and the effect of this is much more terrifying than suppressing with large-scale funds!"

"Immediately sell our shares in IBM. I personally suggest that if you have bought IBM shares, you should sell them quickly, or you may go bankrupt!"

"Please contact Senator Blake for me, cybersecurity legislation needs to be on the agenda..."

The reality did not exceed the expectations of the public. On the New York Stock Exchange, when the stock market once again ushered in the call auction stage today, endless red selling occupied everyone's vision.

sell!

All sold!

No one dares to continue to hold shares in IBM. If it is said that ordinary shareholders have such a simple idea, the withdrawal of shares held by countless companies means that they have a deep fear of IBM.

Big chaebols sometimes do shameful things, but IBM's behavior seems to be a big taboo. Although many chairmen and executives in traditional industries are not clear about the process of hacking the Nasdaq exchange and modifying stock market data through the Internet, they only need to understand one thing!

If IBM and the exchange hadn't adopted Cisco Systems' products, and Alice Wang, who is also a shareholder of Microsoft, hadn't noticed the connection between them, this conspiracy would certainly not have been discovered!

Then what?

A blue giant who can hack into the stock market and modify data at will...

9:30am arrived as scheduled.

At the opening of the market, countless stocks were crazily sold, and a miserable red line flowed like a flood. Any stockholder who sells a little later will immediately suffer huge losses that make people beat their chests!

5%!

This achievement was achieved within ten minutes of the opening of the market. As a blue chip stock that has been listed for decades and successfully owned a market value of nearly 200 billion U.S. dollars in the 1960s, it plummeted so much in just ten minutes after the opening of the market. !

10%!

An hour later, tens of billions of dollars of wealth were evaporated, but the downward trend still showed no sign of stopping. This morning, the entire New York Stock Exchange was almost a sea of ​​anger, and stockbrokers were yelling hoarsely everywhere.

No one felt sorry for IBM, and even if some people suffered losses because they were late in the sell-off, no one had the energy to lament the loss. Because everyone is roaring at the electronic screen, everyone is even happy for IBM's plunge!

It invaded and modified the stock market data!

Whether it is a stockbroker, a major listed company, a large proportion of shareholders, ordinary shareholders, or even the most ordinary people, at this moment, they all wish that IBM's stock price would sink into the sea!

"An unprecedented sell-off is continuing. As of midday, the stock price of the blue chip IBM has plummeted by 18%. It is expected that there may be new declines in the afternoon..."

Journalists entered the New York Stock Exchange for the first time, and behind the figures of the reporters speaking was the noisy and crowded interior of the exchange. There are stockbrokers in suits and leather shoes everywhere. Even though it is noon, these people don't have much energy to go out to eat. At most, they just sit on the floor with a boxed lunch. No one wants to leave!

"At the same time, as of noon today, 15 listed companies in Manhattan expressed anger at IBM's behavior, and expressed their sincere congratulations to Microsoft's opening up. At the same time, they also expressed their sincerity to Alice Wang, the honorary chairman of Cisco Systems. and highly praised it for exposing IBM's behavior. However, considering that IBM used Cisco's old routers to invade the Nasdaq Exchange, the president of the Rothschild Bank expressed the hope that Alice could make a public appearance. Explain the situation in more detail for everyone.”

All the things happened in one morning. If counting from the opening of the stock market, it would only take three hours until noon. For many people who did not pay attention to Microsoft's press conference and did not subscribe to the "Wall Street Journal", before watching related TV programs at noon, they really did not feel any abnormalities. After all, not everyone is trading in stocks, and not everyone has bought IBM's stock.

So at this moment, a new figure appeared in front of the public again.

When the auction was called that day, James Cameron threw $100,000 to Microsoft.

If there is no such action by IBM, based on the issue price of 21 US dollars, even if it reaches the intraday high of 32 yuan, it is nothing more than a nearly 50% increase. Of course, this is already a huge increase, but compared to now, the difference between the opening price of 8 cents and the closing price of 29.90 yuan...

"Use five hours to increase the value of US$100,000 to US$40 million. I would like to thank Microsoft, I would like to thank Alice, and I would like to thank IBM for its selfless dedication to others."

When the relevant reporters found Cameron himself, this is what he said to the camera.

A young man who just turned 30 turned 100,000 yuan into 40 million in five hours!

Realize the American dream in seconds!

This interview video was broadcast on the five major TV networks in the United States at the first time. Many overseas immigrants watched the legendary experience of this Canadian, and they all shed tears of extreme excitement.

However, some people made some inappropriate remarks, which were quietly published in some unnoticed tabloids.

"Why was everyone else's collective bidding ignored, and Cameron's $100,000 managed to buy so many shares of Microsoft at a low price of eight cents?"

Microsoft's publicly sold share capital accounted for 15% of the company's total share capital. If Cameron threw in 100,000 yuan at a low price of 8 cents, he would immediately become the last minority shareholder eligible to join the board of directors!

However, such a tabloid article, in such a big context, only a small group of people will pay attention.

"see it?"

In the afternoon, in the conference room of the IBM headquarters in Acmon, New York, Aker waved the newspaper in his hand and said to the table full of worried people.

"This is the truth!"

"Preparing to issue a statement, we IBM will not admit to the trumped-up charges of hacking the Nasdaq exchange!"
