legendary trader

Chapter 385 Chapter 386
At noon on Saturday, Chen Fan wasted a bit of time after having lunch at the resort, and he and Zheng Xiaopang went home by car after finishing the matter.

The two cars drove into the city through the expressway outside the city one after the other, and after passing through countless traffic lights, they separated when they entered Deshengmen Street.

The car got into the not-so-spacious alley, turned left and right, and finally returned home.

After getting off the car, Chen Fan went straight in, and Li Wu drove the car to find a place to park.

When Chen Fan first bought the house, he noticed the problems of living here. Because the surroundings are old buildings, there was no plan at the time. Of course, it’s not that there was no plan at all, but the design has not kept up with the times.

In this area, there are courtyards of all sizes, so the parking problem was not considered at the beginning, but later, some house owners with relatively large yards opened a gate on the courtyard wall so that they could park their cars in the yard.

The cars in the whole area are densely parked along the road, which makes the narrow road look narrower, and finding a place to park becomes a problem.

It’s still comfortable to live in the hot spring villa, Chen Fan thought so in his heart, but he hasn’t come back for a week, and he still wants to see his family as soon as possible, and nod to the subordinates he meets on the road as a greeting, and directly Entered the second door.

After entering the yard, I vaguely heard someone talking in the main hall, but I couldn't hear it clearly. When I came to the door, I felt that it was quite lively inside. Chen Fan stood at the door, intending to listen to the time when he was not at home. say something
But after listening for a while, Chen Fan frowned a little. Why did his father provoke public anger? He seemed to be scolded by his mother and Liu's father and Liu's mother. He didn't hear Liu Ying's voice, and he didn't know if he was there.

"It's not completely unreasonable what I heard from others, it's okay to make some preparations, just in case it doesn't happen." Although Father Chen was left behind by several people for a long time, he still said stubbornly.

"I said, Old Chen, just rest assured that those are all lies. Where did the end of the world come from? How did it live thousands of years ago, and how it is still going on now, according to what they said, it will be over soon. Thousands of years, the world is about to fall into destruction, can you believe it? How come people from the last millennium came here?" Liu's father has already patiently explained to Chen's father, "Hey, if I knew it, I wouldn't go for a walk with you in the park by the lake."

"In fact, I didn't fully believe what they said. I just listened to it casually, but I just said that I had made some preparations just in case." Father Chen continued to defend.

"Then you still spent 2 yuan to buy this survival manual. Isn't that a waste of money?" Chen Fan stood outside the door and peeked inside. Chen's mother was angrily patting a book on the coffee table. It's not too thick, it looks like it has dozens of pages, maybe it's the survival manual in her mouth.

"2 yuan is not much"

Father Chen continued to defend, but was interrupted by Mother Chen as soon as he spoke.

"Two hundred yuan is not much, but it can't be fooled for nothing. Aren't you still thinking of digging a shelter at the hot spring villa? My God, how much will it cost?"

"Dig what shelter?" Chen Fan probably understood what was going on after listening for a while, but he still deliberately pretended to have just arrived, and stepped into the door and asked.

"I'm back." Chen Ma saw that it was Chen Fan and pointed to Chen Pa and said the matter.

It turned out that Dad Chen and Dad Liu went for a walk by the lake yesterday afternoon. When they walked to the gazebo, they saw many people gathered together to listen to what was said.
"It must be a liar. If I call the police directly, it will be creating rumors and deceiving the people." Chen Fan said after hearing the cause and effect, but he didn't want to continue talking, guessing that his father should actually remember it. It's just that I couldn't get rid of my face so I didn't admit my mistake, so I changed the subject, "Where did Xiaoying go, why didn't I see it?"

"I should be back in a while. I will go out in the morning. I said that I have asked someone to go out to see if there is any suitable office space. I plan to open a branch here or something." Liu Ma answered.

Chen Fan knew what was going on as soon as she heard it, but she was also surprised that it was not in a hurry. She went out to look at some houses, and after a while her subordinates all went to work and arranged for them to look for it.

I still have an appointment with someone, who is the month?

After thinking about it for a while, Chen Fan didn't think about it anymore, and he would know when he came back and asked.

Because Chen Fan came home, the criticism meeting ended early. Father Chen and Father Liu started playing chess again, while Mother Chen and Mother Liu were knitting sweaters, chatting and laughing.

Although it's spring, the temperature in the imperial capital is still very cold, which is not suitable for them to travel. Even if they want to go, they can only go to the south. However, it seems that they still enjoy being together as a family, and they have no plans to go out for fun recently. thing.

Chen Fan was also sitting on the sofa, thinking wildly, and soon thought of a piece of news that was handed over by the intelligence room after lunch, which was said to have started to spread in a small area.

In fact, this is a small tail about the computer that is now widely used when it was originally programmed because of poor consideration.

In the early computer systems, the number string 99 or 99/99 was used in the program to represent some special automatic operations such as the end of the file, permanent expiration, and deletion. At the time point of 1999, when the computer system processes a file with a date in the content, it will encounter a number string such as 9 or 9/9, thus mistaking the file as expired or deleting the file and other erroneous operations, causing system confusion Even failures such as crashes.

另外一个可能出现的问题就是对于闰年的计算和识别出现问题，一些计算机系统不能把2000年识别为闰年，即在该计算机系统的日历中没有2000年2月29日这一天，而是直接由2000年2月28日过渡到了2000年3月1 日。

It is also worth mentioning that for the earlier computer systems, only two decimal numbers are used to represent the year in various equipment and business processing systems of computer software, hardware and digital program control chips. Therefore, When the date enters January 1999, 12 from December 31, 2000, the system will not be able to recognize the specific year of 1 represented by "1" (the computer may recognize this year as 00), resulting in Calculation errors in the processing of years and dates across centuries lead to dysfunction in various computer business processing systems and control systems.

The material quoted a foreign name and called it the "Millennium Bug".

However, it is also mentioned in the information that the relevant system service providers seem to have noticed this problem, and are secretly debugging their own company's system to find a solution, mainly through system upgrades, etc. There is no way to upgrade, and the best way is to replace the latest computer system.

After reading the information, Chen Fan roughly understood what was going on, but he didn't pay much attention to it. He felt that this matter should be regarded as a trivial matter, and the impact on the stock market or the financial market would be limited, but he just sat there and started when he had nothing to do. Think about it seriously.

As mentioned in the information, there are actually many ways to solve this bug by upgrading the system and replacing the computer, but all of them involve money without exception, and they all require money.

For the upgrade of system problems, it seems that most system service providers plan to upgrade for free. Relatively speaking, the money consumed is not too much for users. Most of the main expenses are paid by service providers, but it is definitely impossible to replace the computer for free. , then computer manufacturers must have an opportunity to obtain huge profits.

Chen Fan is thinking in his head at the moment, whether to increase investment in computers or computer manufacturers, maybe they can follow the news of this bug to increase production and sales, and their profits will increase a lot in a short period of time.

Regarding this matter, it was discovered by accident when a company was testing the system. At present, the spread of this matter is still very narrow, and it has not spread widely. Are there any investment opportunities in it?
Chen Fan thought for a long time and decided to forget it.

It is unknown how many old-fashioned computers still exist. Even if some databases may still use these systems, they can be solved as long as they are upgraded. Even a small number of fish that slip through the net should not cause much trouble.

Chen Fan shook his head, feeling that the investment opportunity in this area is not big, so he didn't think about it any more, but he still reminded himself in his heart, he would call the technical staff at the resort to check if the computer they used had this problem, and deal with it as soon as possible So relieved.

Thinking of this, Chen Fan suddenly felt that he had overlooked something.
After I knew the news, I became concerned and asked the people below to check the computer and the installed system. What would other people do if they knew the news?
Chen Fan suddenly felt a little scared. Maybe this bug is easy to deal with, but the social impact may not be small. If it is not handled well, it may cause panic.

For the financial market, the most fearful thing is the spread of panic. Will it lead to some black swan events?
But after thinking about it for a while, I still don't care about it. If something really happens, the tall man will go to the top. At that time, the main force manipulating rice stocks will naturally find a way to deal with it. I just follow along and leave after making some money. .

Go back and talk to Zhang Yang, and send him the information by the way, don't be like yourself, you didn't take it seriously at the beginning, but now that you think about it, it seems a bit dangerous.

After an unknown amount of time, Liu Ying came back from the outside.

After saying hello to the elders in the family, he sat next to Chen Fan, "What are you doing sitting here by yourself?"

Chen Fan smiled and asked, "Did you gain anything from going out today? I heard that someone showed you the office space."

"Xiaomeng and Sister Zhang Ying took me to see two places, but they were not very satisfied." Liu Ying said with a smile.

"Is it that kind of office building or what, where is it?" Chen Fan asked curiously, feeling that Liu Ying's ability to handle relationships is good, and she can get in touch with those people after meeting them once. This daughter-in-law's ability to handle interpersonal relationships is pretty good.

"The two houses are on the Jianguomen side, but they are both smaller. One is a half-floor office, and the other is on the upper and lower floors. The area is about seven or eight hundred square meters, but both are only half a floor." Liu Ying shook her head and said, "If it's just an office, it's okay, but it's not good to build a branch."

"The location is not good. There are indeed many headquarters and branches of large companies over there, but in the city, traffic is always a problem." Chen Fan also shook his head, he was a little fed up with the traffic jams in the imperial capital.

"By the way, when will you move to the hot spring villa? I think it would be better to live there permanently." Chen Fan suddenly said to Liu Ying, "You can also look around the imperial capital. Anyway, the best place to work is near the place of residence. , make it easier to commute to and from get off work."

"Moving there? I haven't heard them mention it recently. You can ask during dinner later. It's very convenient to live in the city, but trading is a hassle. It's easy to go there, and you can leave as soon as you say it." Liu Ying didn't care about this, she didn't live where she lived, and she also felt that it seemed more convenient to live in the hot spring villa, didn't Chen Fan buy another house there.

"The stock market has gone up pretty well this week. I read the financial news and it should be up to 2300 points again." Liu Ying suddenly changed the topic to Chen Fan's old business.

"It's okay. It's been rising all the way this week. Last week was a false alarm." Chen Fan said with a smile.

"There is another thing you need to know. Jinxin Company has been in contact with our company recently, just to see if they have any comments on their business. I don't know what it means." Liu Ying suddenly remembered the two days before. When Mr. Liu made a phone call to understand the company's situation, Mr. Liu mentioned such a sentence, and he was a little confused about this matter.

"Our domestic business is mainly conducted through the trading desk of Jinxin Company. What's their opinion?" Seeing Liu Ying nodding, Chen Fan immediately fell into deep thought.

This matter looks like a general company's service return visit to customers, but at this time, what is the reason?
Ordinarily, for a company like Jinxin, their procedures should already be systematic and perfect, how can they be improved?What new services are added?
Now Chaofan Investment uses satellite communication, which is already the fastest way of contacting. For the investment industry, this configuration is already top-level configuration, and there is no way to ask for further speed up.

Stop providing more financial support?
Ordinarily, it is impossible for Jinxin Company to not know, and it seems that there is no shortage of money in Chaofan Investment now.

There's something weird about this phone call.

Thinking of this, Chen Fan suddenly remembered that he seemed to have received a call from Qi Qinghua, the CEO of Jinxin Company, two days ago. At that time, she was still asking about the company's need for more transaction services. Just let her know. , At that time, I was busy preparing for the new year, so I just responded with a few simple words. Looking back now, there seems to be some hidden meaning behind this call.
