"Jin Young-Ji-young, go out to play, my sister has something to talk about."

The young woman playing with computer drove her sisters out, then took a cold kettle and disposable cup, and poured water on Gu Cheng and the cherry.

"You are Gu Cheng mentioned on Xiaoche's phone? My name is Wen Huiying."

"Good luck." Gu Cheng nodded slightly, and used a flash of eyes to identify the female hacker in front of him. The other party was less than 25 years old, so it seemed that he had studied early.

After the three of them were polite, Gu Cheng immediately pulled the topic to business and poured out the words he had thought on the road.

"I heard that Sister Wen, you know some resources in the circle and have the ability to launch DDOS attacks. So I would like to ask, if you want to remotely mobilize 100,000 real IP addresses and visit a certain website homepage every day, and most of the secondary pages of your subordinates, how about the charges will be charged?"

"Hundreds of thousands of IPs? If this amount is attacked in an instant, it can squeeze out most Asian websites. However, if the website operator makes timely adjustments and bans access rights of certain IPs, it can still survive."

Gu Cheng said vaguely: "I didn't say that I must achieve the effect of complete crowding. I just asked what the price is and try it out first - I am a long-term business. If I cooperate well, I will be a repeat customer in the future."

Wen Huiying's eyes flashed with a hint of enlightenment, and her eyes turned: "If there are repeat customers in this kind of business? How big is your website business? Do you have many enemies?"

There are already some signs of development of botnets. However, in terms of use, they are still at the level of framing competitors and "buying murders". There may be a very small number of people who are account thieves or anti-vote thieves, and there is no positive business model.

Therefore, it is unlikely that there will be repeat customers when looking for hackers to conduct distributed denial of service attacks.

At least Wen Huiying has never heard of precedents in the circle.

Gu Cheng's statement naturally made her very suspicious.

Gu Cheng had no choice but to say slightly almost scoundrel: "I'm also an attempt to innovate model. Anyway, I have my needs and channels. Just just collect money and do things - just say whether I'd like to take it or not."

"Sister Wen, just help." Che Zi was afraid that Gu Cheng would be defeated, so she spoke on the side.

Wen Huiying rubbed her temples and smiled a little funny: "Okay, for the sake of the car, I will continue this small order - 100,000 effective independent IPs. I don't have enough money, so I have to find one or two colleagues to help you raise them together. As for the expenses, I have to check out the details before I can report them to you. Can you tell me first, who are you going to deal with?"

Gu Cheng hesitated for a moment and then took out a piece of paper from his bag with a string of website addresses on it - that was the target customer he carefully screened on his way to come and was preparing to take a gamble.

Wen Huiying took it and saw it slightly surprised: "Huang Yi? Is it the top portal website in China?"

Cherry Cherry quickly helped Gu Chengyuan to lie: "Acheng is originally a Chinese, and may have some personal grudges in China."

Wen Huiying didn't ask anything more, saying that she had taken the job.

"First do it for a week, and you advance this number to this account. You can find a way to cover up the name yourself." Wen Huiying quoted the price and added, "This money is not something I earned by myself, so I have to ask my colleagues to borrow broilers. I only take up a small part of you."

Gu Cheng is not worried about the unit price. It is difficult for both parties to bargain for the first time when they contact each other.

"I understand, you are a friend of Sister Che, and you will never cheat me. Anyway, I accepted this price for the first time. Only if the price is reasonable can there be repeat customers? I just want to know when you can do it?"

Wen Huiying thought for a while: "Do it? You can do it immediately. Just give me a day or two to raise it. You guarantee that the money will be paid within three days and the acceptance effect will be accepted at the end of the month."

"make a deal."

Gu Cheng drank the water that Wen Huiying poured, and both parties left enough contact information, then stood up and said goodbye. Cherry followed him and asked Wen Huiying's parents.

Gu Cheng and Chezi broke up at the subway station and went back to their respective homes.

When he returned to the rented office, Gu Cheng was still sighing: "The daily active users are so expensive nowadays."

If you just find a store selling fake traffic on Taobao online, 100,000 daily active IPs, and only cost about 100 yuan a day. For example, it is more than a hundred times cheaper now.

However, the scale of botnets, netizens, and the intensity of competition among peers 20 years later are far from comparable to those in 2000.

After all, this may be the saliva of the indicator of using botnets to brush daily active IP.

People who eat crabs always have to pay a little more.

Respect innovation.

...

Gu Cheng transferred the deposit from the company's account the next day, and he must do some clever names.

His money-making strategy is already very clear:

Before he decided to do something, he did his homework in advance. He looked for the Internet giants in the Huaxia and Dongyi circles that were urgently needed to refresh the number of daily active IPs, and finally chose Huang Yi.

Judging from the news, China's major Internet companies are nothing more than the "top three giants": Sohu Sina Huang Yi.

Sohu and Sina have completed their IPO, and only one Huang Yi has not yet been listed.

To be precise, it is preparing to go public.

According to the official announcement of Nasdaq, Huang Yi has entered the final public announcement stage before listing. If nothing unexpected happens, he will be IPO on June 30, 2000.

More than two months left.

In other words, if Huang Yi's daily active IP number can make a new leap in the past two months, before the opening of June 30, those underwriting first-tier securities firms in New York will raise their underwriting bidding for Huang Yi, so that Huang Yi can raise more funds on the Nasdaq.

(Note: The stock market is divided into primary and secondary markets. The stock market that retail investors usually intervene is the secondary market; and the primary market is open to securities companies. When listed companies IPO, the stocks are not sold directly to retail investors. Instead, there are several institutional securities companies that bid for the first time to obtain the underwriting rights, and then resell them to retail investors on the day of listing.)

Therefore, Gu Cheng is almost certain: Huang Yi’s boss Ding is absolutely willing to pay for all kinds of behaviors that can raise Huang Yi’s valuation at this critical moment.

What he has to do is to make a match and promote this new "data-brushing" business model.

From hackers who own botnets, buy low-priced traffic; add a price difference and sell it to Boss Ding.

This kind of business is destined not to last long. At most, when it is done for two or three months, colleagues in the circle will discover the secret.

Gu Cheng himself does not have botnet resources. To put it bluntly, he is an intermediary between hackers and Internet tycoons.

Therefore, after the first vote is completed, the profits of this business will drop sharply.

Those hackers who own botnets will gradually bypass Gu Cheng, who makes a profit, and directly contact the website boss.

Then the form of this industry will develop into "the individual zombie owners directly sell zombies to individual buyers, and there is no middlemen to make a difference."

Within half a year, this business will become profitable.

Because at that time, the indicator of "daily active IP number" will be flooded in the ALEXA rating system like "daily average PV", and will be rampant and become worthless. Until ALEXA upgrades the new traffic data evaluation algorithm.

Gu Cheng can imagine this trend.

Therefore, Gu Cheng was very clear from the beginning and positioned this business as a "one-time deal to earn the first pot of gold."

...

After Gu Cheng and Wen Huiying reached a deal, he planned further strategies to find out the real market for finding hackers to rent botnets on the market.

While taking time to monitor Huang Yi's data fluctuations on ALEXA every day to ensure the results of the hands-on effect.

In addition, he had to organize the data analysis into a report and prepare for negotiation materials that he would return to China in a few days to find out about his plans to find out about Boss Ding.

It is really not easy to be busy with these things by yourself. Three or four days passed quickly.

As expected, when it was almost the end of the month, Huang Yi's daily active IP number in the April list released by Alexa had an unusual increase, and judging from the composition of the daily active IP, many IP addresses of Dongyi countries have appeared.

Obviously, Huang Yi does not have a Yi language version, and it is unlikely that the Dongyi people will watch the news on Huang Yi. They can only watch NAVER.

These IPs can only be used by Wen Huiying after receiving the money.

Gu Cheng felt that it was time to take this opportunity to return to China and ask for a meeting with Boss Ding.

So he booked a flight from Incheon to Jingcheng on April 30.

After booking the ticket, Gu Cheng had a small matter that he had to do before returning to China.

That is to reconnect with Quan Shunyu, who he met in an Internet cafe a few weeks ago.

When he negotiated with WEMADE's Park Young-kun two weeks ago, he had already brought out the sign of "the son of the head of the power department" to scare people. Park Young-kun will definitely confirm it in the future.

Therefore, Gu Cheng had to say hello to Quan Shunyu and win over the other party to make a lie for him.

On the other hand, many subsequent transactions of Gu Cheng require a company with smoother cross-border payments to help him get the accounts.

He can now only have about 500,000 working capital on hand.

If the traffic-brushing business with Boss Ding lasts for two months, with Huang Yi's market, the total transaction volume may reach millions. Gu Cheng's small body will definitely not be able to withstand the pressure of advancement.

He obviously had to let Huang Yi pay the money once every half month or even a week.

In this way, his company was registered in Dongyi and the hacker resources he was looking for were also in Dongyi, which involved a large amount of funds to pay across borders. Moreover, there was no transaction or customs declaration of physical goods for such payment.

In 2000, China's foreign exchange reserves were not as abundant as it did later, and foreign exchange controls were very strict.

If you privately pay a large amount of foreign exchange and leave the country, the payee will easily be targeted by the regulatory authorities.

Therefore, Gu Cheng must find an import and export company that operates software or service products daily to serve as a shell to provide funds for whitewashing and crossing the bridge.

Otherwise, Boss Ding can only find an underground bank to solve the problem.

It would be better for Gu Cheng to find Quan Shunyu by himself.

The copyright import and export agency company in Quan Shunyu can completely disguise the money paid by Huang Yi as the fees of "copyright import" and avoid foreign exchange supervision.

Moreover, in this way, Gu Cheng can also show his muscles in front of Quan Shunyu, showing that his business has grown. In the future, when Park Ying-kun seeks verification, Quan Shunyu will have greater motivation to help him get rid of his lies.

What Gu Cheng does now is like a waste of money who makes a vacant job, saying "I am the vice president of the World Bank, please marry my daughter." Then he called the president of the World Bank and said, "I am Bill Gates' son-in-law, please let me be the vice president."
