Chapter 220 Out of Control Situation

Because Samad made the BTC price prediction model public to a certain extent, Samad's profit exposure has been shrinking.

It quadrupled in the previous two months, but after entering the third month, the growth rate has dropped significantly.

This has also led to the weakening of its mythical aura, which can be seen from the decrease in the number of comments and likes on Twitter.

Oraz naturally knew that his boss was preparing to make trouble, and it was something big enough to affect the global situation.

This is just the calm before the storm.

“Hello Mr. Oraz, welcome to Nusajaya Hi-Tech Park in Johor Bahru.

This is one of the most famous high-tech parks in Malaysia, close to the future Kuala Lumpur-Singapore high-speed railway.

It offers a unique geographical advantage for quick access to major business networks in Lion City and Malaysia.

We have a total area of ​​more than 500 acres, specializing in providing office space for multinational companies and local high-tech companies from all over the world, including well-known companies such as Dai-ichi Seiko Group, Telekom Malaysia, GKN Aerospace, Stern-Wywiol Gruppe, Homeland Technology and Santak Group.

As usual, Amy introduced the basic information of the park to the guest in front of her who claimed that he wanted to locate his company's office in Nusajaya Park.

To be honest, it was just a routine matter and Amy had no expectations of ever being able to work together.

As an investment promotion officer for the Nusajaya Industrial Park, she usually has to introduce 50 people to find five potential customers. Among these potential customers, after comparing Nusajaya with other high-tech parks in Malaysia, only one at most decides to settle in the Nusajaya Industrial Park.

It's just so cruel.

Because the Kuala Lumpur-Singapore High Speed ​​Rail is only claimed to be opened, it will take some time for it to actually open.

There are so many high-tech parks competing across Malaysia.

The Nusajaya Industrial Park’s signature product is artificial intelligence, and it specifically targets artificial intelligence companies for investment attraction.

But there are not so many artificial intelligence companies in Malaysia.

Even though it is equipped with one of the best high-speed broadband in Malaysia.

“It sounds great,” Oraz said.

We plan to invest more than US$20 billion to build a data center in Nusajaya Park.”

"How much?" Amy suspected there was something wrong with her ears.

"Two billion dollars," Oraz said.

I would like to ask about the specific preferential policies in terms of taxation, water and electricity exemptions, rent, etc. for such a large-scale investment. "

20 billion, the unit of measurement is still US dollars. Amy looked at the sun outside the window. The sun was so dazzling. She would never dream of such a dazzling sun, Amy thought.

Since it wasn’t a dream, the man in front of her must be crazy. Amy still had to pretend to be polite: “Oh, what an astonishing number.

GDS, a data company from China, has built a data center in Nusajaya Industrial Park.

This data center is also the first data center launched by GDS in Southeast Asia.

Its construction started two years ago and was completed in the first half of last year. It has a total net construction area of ​​22500 square meters and a total IT power capacity of 69.5 megawatts.

The total investment for the first phase is RM13 billion, which is approximately US$8 million when converted into US dollars.

The second phase of GDS’s data center in Nusajaya Park has already started, and they plan to invest a total of 12 billion here.

If your company plans to invest US$20 billion in Nusajaya, I think the preferential policies you can enjoy will be a step higher than GDS."

The reason why GDS was able to build its first data center in Southeast Asia here is because Nusa Jaya is close to Singapore, and both the land price and water and electricity are much cheaper than in Singapore.

Therefore, GDS plans to build a data center here and provide services to Singapore and even the whole of Southeast Asia.

Amy Huang is very clear about this. GDS is an infrastructure service provider, similar to Amazon Cloud, which specializes in providing infrastructure for technology companies.

Even for GDS, the investment of US$12 billion has to be made in installments. The confidence of GDS in spending US$12 billion in Nusajaya comes from the fact that they have 60 billion yuan of contracts to be executed.

The person in front of me has Alpha Technology printed on his business card. I have never even heard of this company, but he asked for 20 billion US dollars right away. Why?
Amy Huang didn't believe a word of it.

After listening to this, Oraz nodded and said: "Then please introduce me to the preferential policies of GDS.

And the preferential policies that can be given to us.

I know you doubt the strength of Alpha Technology. Before you doubt it, you can talk to your boss and say that we can verify the capital. We currently have 5000 million US dollars in funds on our books.

In the future, another 5 million US dollars will be received and we can start the construction of the data center.

Or I think there is a better solution, which is to directly purchase the data center from GDS.”

Samad, or Chen Yuanguang, agreed to the US$2 million offer from Goldman Sachs without hesitation.

The person who made the decision behind this was Chen Yuanguang, and he didn't know what Goldman Sachs' bottom line was.

But in his opinion, no matter how much money it is, it doesn't matter, because Goldman Sachs is a tool to achieve his goal, and he will disclose the information to Goldman Sachs even if Goldman Sachs does not pay him.

Only with the assistance of Goldman Sachs can we mobilize global media resources, form a linkage effect and cause panic in the entire capital market.

If the power of Samad's account was the only factor, the tsunami would appear later, and without the resonance of panic in the capital market, his trading power would be greatly reduced.

Therefore, compensation is the least important thing among all these.

Goldman Sachs felt that they had made a profit and downgraded their evaluation of Samad by more than one level, thinking that Samad had indeed not seen the world and was bought off with only $2 million.

The US$5000 million on Alpha Technology’s books is the deposit.

Amy Wang's eyes lit up when she heard this, because $5000 million in cash is a sum that only a company of a certain scale can afford.

This at least shows that the other party's words have a certain degree of credibility.

Oraz later mentioned that buying a data center from GDS further increased its credibility.

Buying means it is a transaction, not construction. It does not involve advance payment or any of that. The risk will be reduced to a very low level.

Oraz is working on Alpha Technology's data center, which will be the brain of future artificial intelligence.

Johor, where the Nusajaya Industrial Park is located, is the future base carefully selected by Chen Yuanguang.

In Chen Yuanguang's design, the future will start from here.

Johor has Malaysia's second largest city, Johor Bahru. Johor Bahru and Singapore are separated by the Johor Strait and are connected to Singapore by a long causeway.

This means that Johor and Singapore can be strategically packaged in the future.

"Boss Ying, all the Haohan-I quantum computers we had in stock have been delivered."

After the HaoHan-I quantum computer was shipped to Malaysia, completed customs clearance, and was successfully delivered to the Nusajaya Park in Johor for loading, Zhang Jun's bad premonition finally disappeared and his heart finally settled down.

Because he had always been afraid that this was a scam, a scam carefully woven by Malaysian companies.

Considering the level of technological development in Malaysia, it would be an overestimation to describe quantum computers as useless to them.

Not to mention buying 100 units at one time, Zhang Jun could not imagine with his brain how these 100 quantum computers could make a profit.

How will this company called Alpha Technology sell the Haohan-I to other companies?

Mr. Ying nodded: "That's good, this is a good thing.

Quantum computers have proven to be valuable, and when I reported my work to my superiors, they also expressed their optimism about our industry.

While we firmly grasp R&D, let us not forget marketing.

Since Malaysian companies have a demand for quantum computers, what about companies in other countries?
We need to fully tap the demand for quantum computers in the vast third world countries. This is not just a demand for quantum computers, but also a demand for cutting-edge technology.

You still have to implement the work of the marketing department."

Zhang Jun nodded repeatedly, but he was still complaining in his heart: "Come on, a third world country?
You think that companies in other third world countries are philanthropists and will buy our quantum computers after picking up a dead rat once, right? "

Mr. Ying continued, “In addition, the leaders of Telecom said that they would communicate on cutting-edge technology and ask Mr. Chen to help promote the development of a 10-qubit quantum computer.”

Zhang Jun asked with a hint of uncertainty: "Which Mr. Chen?"

Mr. Ying said: "Who else could it be? Mr. Chen Yuanguang."

Zhang Jun actually knew that he was hiding his weakness in front of his superiors by asking this question. "I feel relieved that Mr. Chen is here. This is a major benefit comparable to a 50 billion RMB order." "That's right. We have to publish news at that time and contact the media that we are friendly with to write about it."

Zhang Jun returned to his office and saw Zhao Yong standing at the door waiting for him: "What's wrong?"

Zhao Yong said excitedly: "Another foreign company came to us. This time it is an American financial company called Clarity Money. They also want to order two Haohan-I quantum computers."

Zhang Jun said: "There is no stock. They want to order but there is no stock.

The production capacity for the next ten years has been allocated by Alpha Technology.

They can only wait to buy.

See if they are willing to wait.”

Zhao Yong said: "Boss, Clarity Money has a great background.

Zhang Jun disagreed: "No matter how big the source is, there is no product.

No matter how powerful the background is, can it convince Mr. Ying to expand production capacity?

Even if we expand production capacity, we still have to wait, unless we expand production capacity to 100 units per year this year."

Zhao Yong said, "Okay."

Clarity Money is backed by Goldman Sachs and is a consumer finance service provider acquired by Goldman Sachs.

That’s right, although Goldman Sachs’ tentacles in Malaysia have been almost completely cut off and there are only a few employees left, they have already traced back to Alpha Technology and the sky-high order signed between Alpha Technology and Quantum Shield.

It was roughly confirmed that the RSA algorithm was cracked due to the breakthrough in quantum computer technology.

"Marco, Clarity Money just sent a message that their order was rejected by Quantum Shield. The other party claimed that Alpha Technology from Malaysia has already booked all the production capacity of Quantum Shield Haohan-I in the next ten years.

At present, Quantum Shield has no intention of expanding the production line of the Haohan-I quantum computer. "

Marco Argenti hammered the table. This meant that in the next ten years, the key to breaking into RSA would be in the hands of a Malaysian company and a Chinese company. This was terrible news.

She wants to purchase quantum computers through some companies affiliated with Goldman Sachs as a precautionary measure.

Once it is revealed that China's quantum computers can break the RSA cryptographic system, their value will certainly increase significantly.

“Forget it, it’s not important. Once the value of quantum computers is made public, Chinese companies will naturally expand production.

The most important thing now is to reap the profits of global banks through short selling." Marco Argenti thought.

Until the time agreed with Goldman Sachs, Samad updated his Twitter:

"Samad's blog: A series of articles on how to use existing quantum computer technology to crack the RSA cryptosystem"

Unlike when Klaus Peter Schnorr proposed that quantum computers could crack the RSA cryptographic system, what Klaus said was a theory, while what Samad presented on his blog this time was reality.

More importantly, not long after, Samad sent another tweet:
"The technology company I founded in Malaysia, Alpha Technology, will provide quantum computer cloud services to the world. You can use the quantum computer cloud services I provide to verify the authenticity of my theory." Samad also posted Alpha's official website

You see, Samad not only provides methods, but also provides cloud services for you to practice.

The only problem is that Alpha Cloud’s quantum computer service is a bit expensive. The price of up to $5000 per hour makes it prohibitive for ordinary cryptography enthusiasts.

Alpha Cloud does not accept USD as payment, but only BTC priced against USD.

This price is expensive for enthusiasts, but it is very cheap for enterprises.

The hack of RSA is a huge shock to companies in the global financial and technology fields. No one will be reluctant to spend $5000 to give it a try.

Of course, there are only 10 Haohan-I quantum computers providing cloud services, which can only be tested by 10 people at most. A lot of people have to queue up when they click in.

But even if you have to queue, you still have to wait.

This is a major event that concerns the whole world. What was thought to be safe is no longer safe.

"The RSA algorithm is no longer secure, and the global financial industry is about to face a major shock"

“The foundations of financial security in modern society no longer exist”

“Samad, the cryptocurrency bull, strikes again, this time targeting the RSA algorithm.”

All media outlets are reporting on this unprecedented event.

Goldman Sachs mobilized all the forces they could, spreading the word that traditional banks were no longer safe and would most likely not be able to protect people's transactions.

This was the biggest event of the day, and it was announced at 9 a.m. Yanjing time, which is p.m. New York time.

The media almost immediately exaggerated the adverse impact of this incident.

Two hours later, scholars from Harvard, Yale, and MIT theoretically verified the algorithm provided by Samad, proving that it is real and effective.

Four hours later, a cryptocurrency expert tweeted that he had cracked an arbitrary RSA encryption key through Alpha Cloud, and attached a screenshot, adding another layer of dirt to RSA's grave.

That evening, which was daytime in New York time, the U.S. stock market opened. Just like the A-shares and Neon stock markets that had plummeted at the opening during the day, the U.S. stock market also plummeted, with bank stocks plummeting even more.

This was just a minor episode. The bigger event was that on the same day, a hacker team from a northern power used the quantum computer service provided by Alpha Cloud to break into Israel's largest bank, Bank Leumi.

More than $5 million was stolen, with the hacker group claiming it was revenge for past actions by Israel and that the proceeds would be donated to the Gaza region.

This incident was completely unexpected by Goldman Sachs and American.

If Russia's hacker group can use quantum computers to break into Israel's banks, then they can use the same thing to break into American banks.

Banks are no longer as unsafe as advertised; they are truly unsafe.

Solomon was at home, watching CNN report on Israel's financial officials waving their hands and showing angry expressions during an interview on TV, and only two words flashed through his mind: idiot.

He realized that things were out of control. Once hacker groups were able to use quantum computers to break into any bank's system and start transferring money outside, the original plan would become invalid and the collapse of capital would only come faster and more violently.

The reason why Solomon thinks the Israeli side is stupid is that they should not make this matter public and should not cause further panic.

This is the logical confusion caused by different butts, which even financial elites cannot avoid.

Solomon wanted chaos, and he wanted the chaos to be under his control. Unfortunately, the hacking of the RSA encryption system was beyond the control of Goldman Sachs or American.

After the Israel National Bank was breached, the Russian hacker team realized how dangerous this weapon was. Danger is good, because danger means power.

The Russian hacker team attacked the Swift system in the early morning of New York time, causing the Swift international settlement system to be shut down for more than 12 hours.

For a time, the entire capital market was in panic, residents of various countries no longer trusted banks and tried to withdraw cash from banks.

"Oraz, please tell Mr. Samad that quantum computer cloud services can no longer be provided to the outside world. This will cause further chaos in the world." Schnander said earnestly on the phone.

Oraz said, "I will convey your message to Mr. Samad."

This message lasted for a whole day, but no one responded at all.

All the well-known hacker groups are lining up to attack the banking system.

Tech giants everywhere are also trying.

The state of Johor could not withstand the pressure from America and in reality forced Alpha Technologies to shut down its external services.

But it was too late. In just forty-eight hours, the shock that quantum computers brought to humanity was too great.

BTC has skyrocketed from $6 to $12. Samad wiped out all his opponents by going long, and more than 20 opponents were liquidated, making a profit of more than $ billion.

In it Samad simply tweeted:
"Banks have been relying on the old RSA algorithm for more than 40 years, while the emerging cryptocurrency has been around for less than 20 years. The algorithm of cryptocurrency is updated much faster than banks. It is time to phase out traditional currencies."

The effect of this tweet was to trigger a carnival among all cryptocurrency practitioners.

48 hours later, even after Alpha Technology's quantum computer stopped providing services to the outside world, the market was still restless for a long time.

Because Pandora's box has been opened, before the encryption algorithm of the traditional financial system is updated, quantum computers have the magic power to break through it all.

As the media exposed the details, everyone knew that Alpha Technology used the Haohan-I quantum computer produced by China Quantum National Shield.

At one time, Quantum National Shield received countless cooperation messages.
