Chapter 218 The Foundations of Banking Are Shaking
After signing the contract with a Malaysian company called Alpha Technology and seeing the extra 2 million RMB down payment in the account, the top executives of Quantum National Shield finally put their minds at ease.
This is real money, payment first and delivery later.
"Hurry up and ask the marketing department to prepare to ship the four Haohan-I quantum computers we have now to Alpha Technology.
In addition, we will ask the production department to work overtime to deliver a total of 10 Haohan-I quantum computers this year." Mr. Ying spoke loudly, and was very excited.
I originally thought that I came to Quantum Guodun because someone had tricked me into it. I couldn't achieve any results in such a short period of time. Maybe there is a prospect in the long run, but even if there is a prospect, it is only for future generations to enjoy the shade. I am just a tree planter.
Unexpectedly, a windfall came from that remote place called Malaysia, where they received orders with a total value of 50 billion RMB, which was more than their total revenue in the past ten years.
What is achievement? This is achievement. Quantum Guodun had not made any profit in the six years since its listing, but it made a profit right after I came, and it was a huge profit. This is the best reflection of my ability.
Mr. Ying knew that with this turnaround, he could move up a position and even become a senior executive of the parent company in the future.
The parent company of Quantum Shield is China Telecom, an absolute ministerial-level state-owned enterprise.
"Mr. Ying, should we expand the production scale? Isn't the current production scale of 10 Haohan-I quantum computers per year a bit too small? It will take us ten years to complete the delivery of all orders." asked the executive in charge of the production line.
Mr. Ying shook his head and said: "Why expand production? Isn't it good to deliver in ten years?
We don’t have to worry about revenue issues for ten years. We are expanding production now and will complete delivery within five years. What about the future?
Do you still expect to meet such a customer?
Don’t mention expanding production until the number of quantum bits exceeds 10.”
Zhang Jun, who was sitting next to him, smiled but said nothing. He felt that Lao Ying was just about to say the words "suckers".
They analyzed it internally for a long time but still couldn't figure out what use it would be for Malaysia to buy the Horizon-I quantum computer.
You know, even they themselves don’t understand how to use this thing, let alone Malaysia.
There is a very obvious mentality in China at present, that is, except America, all other countries are looked down upon, and Malaysia is even at the bottom of the contempt chain.
In the field of technology, this mentality is even more serious.
However, it is not wrong to say that Malaysia is a technological depression. After all, the underdeveloped economy means that there are no extra resources to invest in research and development.
The global division of labor established by America has made it so that Malaysia’s investment of resources in research and development will be ineffective.
This is due to reality. Not every country can form a cluster effect like China and transform scientific research into productivity and GDP.
"On the evening of May 5, Quantum Shield Technology Co., Ltd. (Quantum Shield, stock code******) announced that the company signed a cooperation contract with Malaysian company Alpha Technology. The winning bid was for the Haohan-I quantum server and related products, with a total contract price of 10 billion yuan."
After the announcement was issued that evening, it sparked heated discussions in the stock forum, and everyone finally saw hope for a way out of the predicament.
"I have waited for so long and finally waited until today"
"At least ten daily limit ups!"
"Five billion! In the best years of this company's history, its annual revenue was only 2.5 million. Now it has increased twenty times in one go. Ten daily limit increases? One hundred!"
“I was wondering why a bunch of fund companies have been conducting research on Quantum Guodun every day recently, and the stock price also clearly shows that someone is taking over. It turns out that there is such a positive news.
No wonder the market keeps opening up and closing down, they are bent on flushing out retail investors.”
"I saw that, too. I originally thought there was some good news about the research and development of quantum computers, but I didn't expect it was the sales side that achieved revenue that would have taken 10 years to achieve."
"Malaysian company? Why would a Malaysian company want this?"
“Samad’s blog: www.Samad.com, the first in a series of blogs, some thoughts on the BTC price prediction model.”
“Price prediction is something everyone wants to do, and my trading success comes from the superiority and maturity of the price prediction model.
Here I would like to share with you my thoughts on the BTC price prediction model. I mainly used two methods, ARIMA and Prophet, and optimized and iterated based on these two methods.
The blog quickly climbed up Google's internal website rankings and within just one hour, it entered the top 50 most visited websites in the world.
Countless cryptocurrency practitioners clicked in with great excitement, but then left disappointed.
Because the algorithm knowledge involved is too difficult, less than 0.01% of people can understand it.
Everyone is just trying to play with emotions, no one wants to play with algorithms.
Although China is a black hole in the field of cryptocurrency and prohibits related transactions among the private sector, you can use cryptocurrency to pay wages in Malaysia, which is a gray area. In China, it is absolutely impossible.
However, there are still many cryptocurrency practitioners who are active on Weibo, trying to spread related ideas and act as evangelists.
The myth of how cryptocurrency makes people rich is, in a sense, similar to lottery, and it spreads on the Internet from time to time.
Therefore, the tsunami caused by Samad will also cause waves in China.
After seeing it in the news, Lin Jia couldn't help but think of the BTC that Chen Yuanguang took from her.
Then she looked at the amount of money, which was exactly the same as the amount she gave to Chen Yuanguang. She thought that the probability that Samad was Yuanguang was at least 90%.
She couldn’t hold back her curiosity, so when she went to Mianyang, she asked, “Is Samad you?”
In the previous Samad, she only lip-synced but did not make any sound.
Chen Yuanguang looked at Lin Jia's curious expression and said, "That's right."
After Lin Jia asked, he changed the subject: "I said that you were the one who bought me flowers."
Lin Jia knew that since Chen Yuanguang wanted to keep it a secret, he couldn't reveal any flaws. If there were surveillance cameras here and the conversation was overheard, it would cause unnecessary trouble.
Chen Yuanguang quickly understood what Lin Jia meant: "If you don't like it, you can change to other flowers next time."
After his doubts were answered, more doubts arose instead. Lin Jia became more and more curious about what Yuan Guang wanted to do.
"It seems that I can only wait for time to give me the answer." Lin Jia thought.
In five days, five articles were published on Samad's personal blog, teaching everyone how to build a BTC price prediction model through algorithms from beginning to end. After the last day's blog was updated, many experts in the algorithm field wrote a BTC price prediction model step by step.
We found that this price prediction model, when used to fit historical prices, had an accuracy rate of nearly 90%.
This is more than one level higher than the previous limit of 69.9%.
“Samad used theoretical foundations to tell everyone that his success comes from his strength. He is definitely a top expert in the field of algorithms and has a mastery and understanding of various algorithms that exceeds that of ordinary people.”
“Has Samad made enough money and is ready to stop? The last person who was so selfless should be Satoshi Nakamoto. Samad has been so generous in making his strategy public to a certain extent, which will cause everyone to capture similar influencing factors, thus affecting the accuracy of his model.
This is very certain. No matter how powerful Samad is, he cannot change reality unless he is really a god."
“The algorithm built by Samad can be applied not only in the field of cryptocurrency, but also in a wider range of trading markets, such as futures, securities, bonds, etc.
Samad has laid a good foundation for updating and iterating models in these areas.”
“I am very curious about Samad’s purpose. If anyone had such a core secret, they would definitely choose to operate alone quietly instead of telling the world.
It's like if you know where there is a gold mine, instead of going to mine secretly by yourself, you tell everyone there is a gold mine."
"Your way of thinking is obviously that of someone who has never made a lot of money. For anyone who has achieved financial freedom, spiritual satisfaction is more important.
Samad's book wealth has exceeded 2 million US dollars. No matter in which country or by what standards, he has undoubtedly achieved financial freedom. What he is pursuing now is preaching and his position in the web3 field.
If all web3 practitioners around the world can benefit from what he says, then he will become a mentor to web3 practitioners around the world and may not necessarily become the next Satoshi Nakamoto.
As of now, Samad's appeal in the cryptocurrency field has surpassed Musk's, and it took him less than three months."
With the publication of articles related to the model, the hurricane named Samad has intensified, and major cryptocurrency traders have offered high prices to recruit people who can understand and apply the model proposed by Samad.
The cryptocurrency world is on fire.
"Hello, Mr. Snander." Looking at the President of Asia Pacific and Global Management Committee of Goldman Sachs Group in front of him, Oraz gained a deeper understanding of the concept of fortune.
Not long ago, he was just an unknown person in Kuala Lumpur, writing some cryptocurrency-related articles on his personal blog, hoping to gain recognition through this opportunity.
Just over two months later, he was already able to sit on the top floors of the Petronas Twin Towers in the center of Kuala Lumpur, overlooking the city skyline and chatting with real financial tycoons.
Kevin Schneider looked at the young man in a suit and tie, who had typical Southeast Asian features, and began to have doubts:
"Samad?"
Samad sent a private message to Goldman Sachs’ official Twitter account through Twitter, and the operator of Goldman Sachs’ official Twitter account saw it and reported it quickly.
Samad expressed his hope to discuss a "big deal" with senior executives from Goldman Sachs in Kuala Lumpur.
Snander, president of the Asia-Pacific region and a member of Goldman Sachs' global senior management team, became the head of negotiations for Goldman Sachs.
Although Oraz took out a week's salary to order a suit before the meeting, he gave Schneider the impression that he didn't look like a man who managed hundreds of millions of dollars in cryptocurrencies.
Schneider looked out the window again and recalled bad memories.
Goldman Sachs does not have much business in Malaysia because of the heinous crimes committed by Goldman Sachs and Low Te Zuo in Malaysia around 2010. They carried out a massive fraud of billions of dollars from Malaysia's national development fund, which is one of the largest financial crimes in the world.
Although Goldman Sachs claimed that this was done by their Malaysian executives, given the large scale of the crime, the Malaysian side obviously did not believe that this was a crime that a regional executive could commit.
In the end, Goldman Sachs spent US$39 billion to settle with the Malaysian government. It can be said that it did not make any money and even lost money.
Moreover, they have almost lost the entire Malaysian market. Goldman Sachs now only has one office in Kuala Lumpur, a handful of employees, and a tea plantation of the size of its peak period.
Oraz said: "Samad is my boss, and he asked me to negotiate a deal with Goldman Sachs on his behalf."
Schnander already wants to leave. Who am I? What little Karami are you? Can you represent Samad?
However, considering Samad's current momentum, according to Goldman Sachs' internal analysis, Samad can leverage the hundreds of billions of cryptocurrency market.
As long as he says that BTC will rise, then BTC will rise.
This is the great trend brought by the 100% winning rate.
Schneider still suppressed his temper and wanted to hear what the other party meant: "What specific business does Samad want to cooperate with Goldman Sachs on?"
If Samad came in person, Shinander might want to exchange a few words with him, but facing the clerk in front of him, Shinander just wanted to get straight to the point.
"We want to join forces with Goldman Sachs to short the world's banks," Oraz said.
This surprised Schneider. He originally thought it was about cooperation in the field of cryptocurrency, but the topic suddenly changed to shorting global banks.
This span is a bit big.
Samad has great influence in the cryptocurrency field, but in the banking business, you have no influence at all. How can you influence the global banking industry?
The other party's proposal of cooperation was completely beyond Schneider's expectations.
Oraz went on to say: “We will prove that the traditional business of global banking is no longer safe.
This is the basis of our partnership.”
When Schneider heard this, he understood: "Samad has cracked the foundation of the existing financial system, the RSA encryption algorithm?"
The RSA algorithm has always been the foundation of banks or almost all encrypted transmissions.
In a sense, it is one of the cornerstones of bank security.
But it does not mean that it has not been cracked. There have always been various algorithms trying to crack RSA.
Because the bank's RSA encryption changes every 30 seconds, and there is a possibility of changing from 1024 bits to 2048 bits or even 8192 bits, there is no point in cracking it unless your crack can be compressed to less than 30 seconds.
The emergence of quantum computers makes it possible to crack the code.
