Chapter 920 921 Trouble
Zheng Xiaopang's worries were actually not superfluous. It was already evening in China at this time, and it was still early morning in York City in the United States on the other side of the ocean.

In a luxury apartment on the Upper East Side, a young white man who is tired and bloodshot in his eyes is staring at the computer screen, with a cigarette in his left hand, the cigarette butt is faintly smoked, and his right hand is constantly sliding and clicking the mouse.

At this moment, the mobile phone on the computer desk rang. The man didn't reach for it, but turned his head to look at the phone screen. After seeing the phone number on it, he quickly put down the mouse and picked up the phone.

"Hey, Eddie, I hope you can give me a good news, tell me."

The young white man answered the phone and said.

"Jed, I asked someone about it. They knew that this exchange called Universal was preparing for ten days ago. At that time, they asked them for some opinions on Bitcoin transactions, but they were asked to sign a confidentiality agreement." According to the agreement, they cannot disclose this matter until they officially declassify it.

I read their contact emails on my friend’s computer, as well as the running test platform, where you can buy **bitcoins, of course, they are all virtual and do not exist at all. "

The other party's words came out of the receiver, causing Jed to lean weakly on the computer chair.

"In about ten hours, their trading platform will be launched, and the number one position is gone."

After Jed heard Eddie's words, his spirit was obviously duller.

"Jed, don't be discouraged, that platform was built by Huaguo Capital, we still have a chance."

Eddie heard Jed's frustration, and immediately cheered him up, "I have paid attention to their rules, although the rules that have been circulated have been confirmed by my friends, and it is said that these rules are only run on the platform. It will only be used at this stage, and will be modified according to the situation in the future, but I think we still have hope.

Their exchange is bitcoin to Chinese yuan, our platform can still do it, ours is bitcoin to rice yuan, each does its own thing. "

"Can you believe it? Currency exchange is not so difficult."

Jed's mood was not restored by his friend's suggestion, because he knew that the other party was just comforting himself.

After seeing the news of the Bitcoin bazaar, he had an idea and thought of adding a trading item to the half-dead game item trading website in his hands, that is, Bitcoin.

He used to think that he was the first capital to enter the currency circle, because he noticed a long time ago that most of the players in the currency circle are technicians. If they talk about technology, they don’t talk about it, but they seem to have a lot of capital.

Although it is very easy to start a business in the United States now, as long as you raise a little money to form a team, and then go around to lobby for venture capital companies, you don’t need much investment in the early stages of starting a business, and venture capital companies are happy to cast their nets at this stage.

However, when communicating with these people, he found that most of the players who enter the currency circle are actually doing it with a playful mentality. Of course, they all hope that Bitcoin can be recognized by more people, but everyone actually does not. There are too many hopes, so not many people want to deeply cultivate this market.

After he announced his ambition to build a bitcoin trading platform, specializing in bitcoin transactions and reducing those fraudulent transactions in the market, he once thought that releasing such news first would deter some guys who were affected by the news of the bitcoin bazaar , but I didn't expect that someone had already quietly prepared before this, and the products were already about to be launched.

"As long as we do a good job with the trading website and make it the best in the United States, we can sell the website by hand, which is actually not a loss for us."

Eddie continued to seduce, "I said before that the eMule should have been sold long ago, the Internet is so good at it.

You told me before that you want to build an integrated payment platform and realize the Internetization of currency. Users can use rice yuan to pay at one end, and the payee’s account will receive French francs or British pounds directly, or Mark. , see how he sets it.

In fact, I think this software is more interesting.

Although companies may not be very interested in our things, but what is really needed by individuals can at least reduce their exchange troubles.

This is the most profitable thing, finance + Internet, I believe that those bankers will be interested, but before that we have to raise money.

Just build the Bitcoin platform and make it the number one in the United States, and we can cash out and do the business we want to do. "

However, these words did not bring much hope to Jed. He was still very silent, but at this moment, what he was thinking in his mind was actually how to prevent the other party's product from going online.

As a programmer, Jed is very clear about the technical support needed to complete a trading platform, but the Mt.Gox trading website he created has almost all of them, and he only needs a little time.

"You said, if someone hacks their website and prevents them from going online on Monday, is it feasible?"

Jed asked suddenly in an uncertain tone.

"Ok?"

Jed's words obviously surprised and hesitated Eddie on the other end of the phone. It took a long time before a voice came over, "The other party seems to know the importance of network security. My friend tested it, and the other party has professionals on duty 24 hours a day, and It was arranged like this during the testing phase.

In addition, my friend guessed that the other party may have asked a professional to conduct technical verification. There were some freezes two days ago. At that time, I thought there was something wrong, but the news there later said that it was doing extreme bombing of spam.

Guys who can make a trading platform will not be ignorant of the importance of network security. Vulnerability attacks, port scanning, etc., I guess they are not very useful. "

"It doesn't matter, you contact the next person, I will come to the company right away, and we will meet at the company to discuss this matter."

Jed seemed to feel that this was the only way, the only way to prevent the other party from preempting the release.

Now that I go back to the company by myself, I can also look at the technicians who are working overtime and remind them of their progress.

Chen Fan and Zheng Xiaopang went to bed early after enjoying a sumptuous dinner, because they have to get up very early today, and they need to know the download status of the client terminal released after 0 o'clock, and judge the popularity of the trading platform based on this information level and predict the possible trend of the market on the first trading day.

What they didn't know was that while they were sleeping soundly, someone had already started gathering people, planning to start testing their firewall after their website went live.

At around 5 o'clock in the morning, Chen Fan and Zheng Xiaopang got up one after another, washed up and went to the trading room. At this time, most of the traders in the resort were still sleeping. Only Cai Han was on duty, and he mainly stared at the forum. , to see where the forum discussions are headed.

After the two yawning people came in, Zheng Xiaopang asked, "Is there anything wrong?"

When he opened the door, Cai Han already knew about it, and when he turned around and saw Chen Fan and Zheng Xiaopang, he nodded in greeting, and then replied: "No, but there are fewer people discussing now, maybe they are all busy. After all, my business has been busy for most of the day."

After the two of them sat down, the service staff brought pastries and freshly brewed strong tea in a short while, which was what they ordered the waiter to make when they went upstairs.

After sitting for a while, the computer turned on, Chen Fan and Zheng Xiaopang did not go directly to the currency circle forum, but clicked on a private website one after another, entered their account number and password, and entered the exchange website , check the download status of today's online client, this is what they care about most.

2193.

This is the number of downloads of the Global Exchange trading client so far.

"Much better than expected, I thought there were only a thousand individual downloads."

After Chen Fan saw this number, a smile appeared on his face, obviously very satisfied with the data.

But Zheng Xiaopang on the side seemed dissatisfied, "It's still a little less."

While Zheng Xiaopang was checking other situations, Chen Fan had already clicked on the Chaofan website, and the second news item on the news page was the news from the Global Exchange. The bold red text was obviously a key recommendation.

However, Chen Fan returned to the homepage of the website, looked around, and found that there was no information about the Global Exchange on the homepage, and he could only see it by clicking on the news channel.

Then I clicked into the technology channel and the financial channel, and there were similar news on them, but they were not recommended as key points, so they were not very conspicuous.

Although Chen Fan was a little dissatisfied, he felt relieved after thinking about it.

He doesn't want to be hyped too much at this stage, especially before the platform has any results, it seems that it is not good to go all out to hype, and the current recommendation is more appropriate.

Then I went to the news website of Ikos and looked at it. The homepage was full of recent news reports about the Bitcoin market, and there was news about the establishment of a global exchange. However, most of the reports were actually about Bitcoin, and the location was not It doesn't stand out, and it looks very low-key.

Also, the general public is not familiar with the new thing of Bitcoin, starting with the basic introduction, and gradually going deeper, may attract some readers, but this needs to be reported continuously.

As for other websites, Chen Fan couldn't control them, but these two websites were his own, and it was not up to him to continue reporting.

Thinking of what was confirmed after contacting Liu Ying yesterday, the paper media will follow up later, but they will not promote it at the same time, but will introduce Bitcoin at different times in newspapers across the continent. By the way, I recommend the Global Exchange. News from an institution formed exclusively for Bitcoin transactions.

Chen Fan also thought about it, let's do it this way at the beginning, and after he completes a round of operations, he will use the data to speak, so that the follow-up reports will be more interesting.

Judging from the current reports, most of them are popular science about what bitcoin is. As for the value of bitcoin, I believe those reporters and editors can't figure out how to make up this story even if they bald their hair.

Not long after, Chen Fan's cell phone rang. He took it out to see that it was Tang Zhongwei's call, so he picked it up.

Tang Zhongwei also just woke up not long ago, so he probably called him to announce the good news after reading the relevant data.

Chen Fanru thought so, and said casually: "Hey, I"

When he just opened his mouth to speak, Tang Zhongwei had already spoken.

"Mr. Chen, since the website went live in the early hours of the morning, some people have been testing our website continuously. It seems that there are quite a few hackers who are interested."

While Tang Zhongwei was speaking, Chen Fan became a little restless, "What's the situation now?"

"Now the other party is still probing, hackers have used all the means, security Xiaozu suspects that it is a planned attack, it doesn't look like some hackers are playing around."

Tang Zhongwei continued.

"I'm asking about the current situation of the website and your countermeasures."

Chen Fan felt uneasy at the moment, and the phone calls came, and it seemed that the situation was not very good.

"It's still controllable now. In fact, the other party hasn't found anything yet, but I just talked with the technicians. They suspect that it may be just an appetizer now. Maybe the main attack will be launched before and after our trading system goes online. It seems to be a premeditated network. attack."

Tang Zhongwei said hastily.

"Notify the people of Chaofan Network, call everyone with experience in this field, and guard the exchange for me. It's the first day of opening today. Don't let me get into trouble. Have you contacted Li Yihong yet?"

Chen Fan said hastily.

At this time, Zheng Xiaopang had already looked over. When the phone rang before, Zheng Xiaopang had the same thoughts as Chen Fan, but after Chen Fan's few words, he understood that it might be the case of the exchange. It's time for trouble.

"You have notified me, I will contact Mr. Li and ask him to come here, and it is best to bring all the professional and technical personnel from the head office.

Today's situation is special, I also know that there will be no problems, Mr. Chen can rest assured.

I heard what the technicians said, they were just worried about possible more powerful cyber attacks around 9 o'clock, and to prevent problems before they happen, I think it's better to deal with them as a major crisis. "

Tang Zhongwei told Chen Fan his thoughts, and Chen Fan naturally didn't think it was a fuss, so he immediately nodded in agreement.

Hanging up the phone, Tang Zhongwei naturally went to contact Li Yihong. He had a busy day yesterday, so he might not be up yet, but it doesn't matter so much at this time.

"what's the situation?"

Zheng Xiaopang asked.

Although I probably had an impression when I heard it from the side, Zheng Xiaopang still asked, and Cai Han on the side was also holding his ears.

I was on the night shift all night, and I was very tired at this time. I waited for Xie Chaoyang and the others to come to change shifts at 8 o'clock so that I could go back to catch up on sleep. I didn't expect that there would be news of a suspected cyber attack at this time.

Chen Fan glanced at the two of them. At this time, he had regained his composure, and said calmly: "It's a small matter, maybe the news of our exchange's launch has attracted the attention of some hackers, and they want to help us test the system. security.

I have asked Tang Zhongwei's professionals who contacted Chaofan Network to go to the place, so don't worry. "

"Didn't a lot of people from the security department be transferred, and the rest of the company still needs to maintain the security software, and can they send people to support?"

Zheng Xiaopang asked suspiciously.

"It's a matter of the sky, just keep two people on the company side to watch it in turn. The one with the best technology must be close to the exchange side first."

Chen Fan pretended to be casual and said, in fact, only he knew what was going on in his heart at this time.

Let's talk about it after today, find the culprit, and see if I don't kill him
