The world xi Xi, are to benefit; The world is bustling, all for profit. Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. Where there are rivers and lakes, there are conflicts of interests, intrigutions and intrigutions, and there are intrigutions and intrigutions. This society has always been like this. Scalpers are just the tip of the iceberg in the Internet community, where this tradition is now exposed to everyone in a naked way. But see a glimpse and know the whole leopard, software sellers, agents, users, in this wonderful triangle, love each other to kill, and behind this mapping is today’s entire Internet black gray production of the general phase.
Old gun
Laoliang software almost insiders hand a, most of these people are relying on laoliang software started. Once each major e-commerce platform security upgrade, other software in the circle crashed, including the software of the old gun. But Gun was the only one in the circle who solved the problem in one day. Lao Gun’s reputation is not undeserved.
The old gun was not old. In fact, it looked only about twenty. I chose mechanical engineering as my major in college, but I learned it by myself soon after I got money from the Internet. After graduation, I joined a small Internet company to develop VB. A month of continuous grab mobile phone frustrated frustration so that the self-esteem of the old gun began to study technology panic buying, the first version of the software developed on a sudden impulse actually smooth seconds to the mobile phone they want. Later sent to colleagues with, later sent to the forum to share with. One day, the net friend that calls small river wants partnership to sell software with him, old gun honestly wrote code of five or six years, this ability realizes so big market here originally.
Xiao Jiang did all the things outside the technology, and the rest of the technology this all thrown to the old gun. Lao Gun likes this business, on the one hand, the money he can sell on the software is indeed several times more than his salary, on the other hand, most users in the circle worship him, as if it is a decent job.
Lao Qiang likes to visit incognito, often sneaking into the user group. But old gun never talk in the group, his friend application has a string of passwords, this password only told Jiang. What technology upgrade and problem, and only small river private chat, users can not find him. “There are too many users to know which are scalpers, which are journalists and which are peers. In this business, the less people know about you, the better.”
Ordinary users can’t see Lao Gun, but Lao Gun has a long telescope that can look into everyone’s computer.
In order to prevent malicious users to do software cracking, do capture package analysis, old gun software has been added a layer of protection shell, ordinary people are not directly analyzed. There is also a set of anti-code hidden inside. Once someone is caught or cracked, the software will send the user’s account number and screenshots of the computer desktop to Lao Gun’s mailbox.” It’s nothing. We all do that. I bought a rival software, once caught the packet, the software directly uninstalled my packet capture program, and then my account was blocked. Algorithms are our core competitiveness of these software, do these more is to prevent peer research! “
The notion that programmer programming languages despise chains is a joke in this world. Old gun’s program is written by VB, but the old gun on a large number of peers filled with E language program and did not turn up his nose. “This meme is played by beginners. To tell you the truth, I am most afraid of the E language. I laborious twists and turns to write out the code, there may be several modules encapsulated in the others, quick, good security, a module will not be written to buy online, three hundred dollars can fix things that is not called things! In this business, if all you care about is skill, you’ve already lost, and they’re not that bad either.”
Software life cycle is very short, a black gray software from the peak to decline, can survive two years, is already considered very severe. If you want to make money, you have to hit the right time. At the beginning, technology was not the core. At the beginning of domestic wireless, each APP wrote a very simple code in order to compete for the market. Anyone who knew a little about reverse and program could make a second kill software. Users are also discerning, whose effect is good, many functions, fast upgrade, good service, the user will go where to run. Old gun pour also diligent, each time can be one step ahead, users skyrocketed, alone with an old gun has been unable to estimate the size of the entire market.
But this kind of situation, each cow ghost spirit snake sees in the eye, did not come out several software in a few months, function and old gun similar. As a result, the daily rush turned into an arms race, and in some cases the volume was so large that it crashed the platform. E-commerce began to fight, strengthen strategy, protection upgrade, scalpers software crash, without exception. Tuyere in the past, the software slowly recovered.
Lao Gun summed up the storm, “a rat ruined a pot of soup.” But Old Gun never realized that he was the real rat king among them. After experiencing that risk, Lao Gun realized that this idea was doomed to be unable to do the major e-commerce, which means unable to do the peer, in order to retain users, must be prepared for guerrilla warfare. Large companies are complex and stability is Paramount. A protection strategy often requires a low false positive rate. Business expansion is fast. Basically, the same old VERSION SDK is used to build the framework quickly. The old version system means there is no security at all. Follow the e-commerce business, even if today closed this mouth, that tomorrow will be a new mouth, should be able to fight a way out.
There are two mountains in front of Lao Qiang, landing and ordering. Landing is the most complicated, at the beginning of the old gun can inverse some algorithms, but with the escalation of the confrontation, the old gun’s ability has been stretched. Later, the old gun simply bought the algorithm on the black market, each time the new algorithm after the upgrade of the confrontation is about 3W, the old gun also feel fair, think about the price of a dozen users. The old gun himself to face, but also the most difficult is in the order. Algorithms can be handled by others, but the business and protection must be researched by ourselves. E-commerce protection is likely to be upgraded in a few days, which means that in the next few days, Lao Gun will have to figure out where the upgrade is. At first a defensive confrontation, the old gun required three months of research, then a month, then a week. For so long, Lao Gun has been familiar with the agreements and security measures of various e-commerce companies. The so-called upgrade is nothing more than a minor change each time, and radical modification has never been encountered. Old gun millet plus rifle playing method and continuous accumulation of experience, finally hit back at one percent, the number of users is the best proof.
Peace will always be broken, the old gun was black rod. From last week, the server of the old gun has begun to be unstable, Jiang feedback several times, said that the people in the group said that the landing can not go up. Old gun anxious board the server to check the log, only to find that the log has been exploded.” It may be that there are too many users “, the old gun comforted himself, increased the two loads, found that there is no improvement, the old gun realized that may be targeted. The log volume is too large, the naked eye can not see, Lao Gun wrote a script to find that it was CC, and even some of them are mixed with SQL injection and scanning. The one that got gunner pissed off, the user database was erased, so there’s no record. Jiang from there before the backup, only to restore back, and the user lost a month of use time, this is to pressure the crisis.
Old gun fire, for technical personnel, this is to hit the field, is a provocation, is the insult to his technology. But he could not help it. He was too good at attacking, but he never considered that he would one day face the thorny problem of defending. But not to fight back is to show weakness, and he can’t stand it. Under all helpless, old gun spent a day to upgrade the server, deploy security dog, change domain name.
Jiang asked the old gun is not offended which road god ah, the old gun guess the possible reason is because he put his algorithm core code on the server, the software is just a shell, even if the software was taken out of the past analysis of the source, also to no avail. Embarrassingly, old gun didn’t know what to do with him.
Gunner’s defense was useless. I thought about it and became angry. One day, I used the trumpet to each major e-commerce platform SRC and reported all the peer software in addition to myself. A month later, Lao Gun’s software was no longer scolded by users, and the name crane tail was also taken down.
Because there aren’t many apps left on the market.
Jiang sent a message “old gun, congratulations, on the way.”
jiang
In Lao Gun’s case, Jiang saved his software.
Lao Qiang and Jiang’s split is 28. At the beginning of this division old gun is not recognized, feel that their own technology should be the most effective, a mere small agent should take 80%. I think wine is not afraid of alley deep, as long as the technology is good, customers will be more and more. Two people the first time negotiations part in discord, old gun began to sell his software. Three months later, it didn’t go as expected, and the number of users still didn’t go up. Lao Gun is usually not only responsible for the software update, but also to teach many novices how to use his software, publicity is not on the agenda. More angry is that many novices because of the use of software to grab things often in the group to initiate a vote, voting the issue is whether the old gun is a liar.
The old gun finally feels so exhausted that he can only stretch himself. A certain night, he contacted the small river “brother, sale this I still play not turn, 28 open 28 open!” The head of the gun finally lit up. “Got it. Then from today on, you are only responsible for the software, the other things I do, you do not care! “
After becoming the agent of old gun, small river is relying on the experience that old feel climb roll dozen learns to come, became fire fighting captain quickly. His goal is very clear, is how to make the software of the old gun popular.
Jiang aimed at the old gun to sell software the biggest short board – the circle is too small. At that time almost all the users are at the beginning of the mass test left a batch of users, new users are also passed in the circle. “It’s too small for him to play like that.” So small river first let the old gun to build a website for themselves, that is, the kind of official site. Oneself want to do is to stick a paragraph of copy, again the whole beautiful interface, bask in software function chart, leave software official QQ group. Gun had second thoughts about being so high-profile, after all. But after a month, the number of QQ groups jumped up and the skyrocketing conversion rate, after all, what is the old gun also do not want to.
Broke the barriers of the circle, more and more interested users, looking at the continuous expansion of the sub-group, Small river finally began his best play – advertising marketing. Small river spent some money, hired a group of so-called keyboard man from a friend over there, what these people need is to be in each stick bar, forum, QQ space, similar QQ group inside everyday crazy soul disorderly blast about the software of old gun how good, the software of other peer is how how rubbish. How the effect, Jiang does not care, he only inquiry one thing every day, that is, today these messages have not been sent, as long as the hair, Jiang’s effect is achieved.
The software of the old gun is not as magical as the outside world blowing. Generally, 100 people buy it with software, and half of them can grab it even if it is very good, which Is clear to Jiang. On the one hand, Jiang has been urging old gun research new technology; Jiang, on the other hand, privately sends messages to successful buyers, asking them to post screenshots of the app to the group and then offering them a bounty.
Later, the old gun only research technology to go, how to sell software is also let Small river shot. The price rule of Xiaojiang is very simple, monthly card, seasonal card, permanent version, low version can be upgraded, software permanent update, each product support after-sales service. The price is more violent, just look at the current two similar software market average price is much more, they sell half.
“Similar software is technically identical to each other, but we have an absolute advantage in the price war. Lao Gun is also a hardworking person in technology. Seems to take the price of self-harm, in fact, we earn more.”
A year later, the software hardly needed any publicity. Jiang suddenly became the general agent, daily only need to deal with the old gun, offline agent, basically no longer direct contact with users. But Jiang always felt that sooner or later such spring will pass, this kind of anxiety has been haunted.
Jiang’s sixth sense is very accurate, the backyard fire first. A lot of second-line agents get card after the close, again the development of the line, and premium selling, users have been not clear about the various agents which is true and false, agents mixed, some immediately after receiving the user shield. We can’t break the rules, or we can’t continue this business. Jiang can not sit, let the old gun fire line urgent in the official website online agent query function, all with Jiang reported agent will appear on the site. All wild agent is found, according to the card number of its online agent will be disqualified and seal. The ban lasted more than a month before the situation improved.
This was followed by moves by e-commerce platforms. Major e-commerce companies seem to have noticed their existence, the software of laoqiang will be blocked for a period of time every time it is updated. Obviously, it can be used in the test, but once it is released to the hands of users, the effect is discounted, and the software of Laoqiang is becoming weaker and weaker. A small river is urgent, but so is an old gun.
The most deadly is a year ago, the high profile and the industry’s reputation burst to attract a large number of users, but also let more people pay attention to the scalping software this big cake, overnight the market came out of a lot of similar software, the same in the price war. There is a software, open the card cost is very low, the user directly free use, rob not to receive money, rob according to the market scalpers price difference billing, software update speed and the old gun.
The market reshuffle, small river’s life on the road winner, suffered Waterloo again. Fewer new users, more protests from existing ones, longer technology upgrades, and monthly revenues have fallen by half compared with last year.
Jiang realized that today’s status quo is only a beginning, if you don’t think of a way, sooner or later will hang in the old gun this tree. Lao Gun knows technology, for a technical breakthrough, he can research for months, even if the real software can not use it doesn’t matter, at least with the technology can still support himself. But he can’t. If Gunny gets cold feet one day, he’ll be a loser. Carrying an old gun, Jiang began to contact other software authors as agents in private.” As the circle went up, it became more and more closed. I was flirting with a new software writer for almost a month before he gave me agency status. But a month later, I realized that this person was not the author at all, but a first-class agent of the author, who only god knows.”
Jiang is jiang after all, finally survived the crisis. The circle gave him a nickname, Jiang Baidu. What software there is on the market, the effect how, what price, want you to know only, can contact small river to go.
Jiang and the old gun less and less contact, the old gun software is no longer seems to be the focus of jiang. Contact the software author much, small river also slowly realize that there is a day outside the sky, people outside someone, the technology of the old gun can only return to the second gear, those first gear software is not the old gun in a short time to sell good, is to make the same marketing fault. Which he could cure with his eyes closed.
“I haven’t decided when to show my hand to Lao Qiang. Although we’ve never met, after all we’ve been doing things together for almost two years. I feel sorry to walk away now.”
Spend elder sister
Almost every software scalpers, are stepping on the previous step of the pit, from the flood of information explosion washed down a block of islands, through five passes and six will be able to enter the harvest of the new continent. On a continent where everyone has secrets and spies nervously on their fellow humans, the flow of information has become a game of thrones. They are sandwiched between software writers and ordinary manual owners, who on the one hand Revere the authors as their bread-and-butter, and on the other turn their noses up at the newcomers, laughing at them as they did at themselves. Nietzsche said in the Other Side of Good and Evil that if you fight a dragon too long, you become a dragon yourself; Stare too long into the abyss and the abyss will stare back. Once crowded break the head to come in the circle not only did not expand, but because of their own joining the shrinking smaller. Hate people have, laugh at people without, since ancient times. The dragon boy, pan fu in the Golden hill, after all also became a dragon.
Flower elder sister is a customer that Jiang is impressed more deeply. New software, she is one of the first to buy, and often in other software groups with flower sister bump into. Flower elder sister never sun single, but jiang felt that flower elder sister must have made a lot of money, otherwise some software at every thousands of yuan, flower elder sister bought never blink. Jiang did not guess wrong, before there is no software, flower elder sister has begun to make money. Sister flower was the first group to eat the crab when millet came out. Millet’s appearance, for flower elder sister opened a new door. “Haven’t seen the world before, the first time grabbed the mobile phone is what I forget, that day I grabbed after the direct hand to earn 300 dollars, remember particularly clear, happy my whole day.”
I spent a lot of money. Buying software is the first big expense, but it’s not the whole story. More people buy software, the effect of panic buying is discounted, at this time flower sister listen to the agent said to buy software also have to buy a server, server performance network speed configuration is better, than the same in the home software people rob the probability of success. Flower elder sister bought a server to try, found that there seems to be some effect, the server has become a standard match from now on. However, the cost of the server itself is not low, flower sister’s main shopping time is only a few points a day, the monthly rent is not cost-effective. One day on the Internet to see a server rental by the hour, rented a few sets to try, did not have a big problem, flower elder sister feel his good wit. But the problem came again, flower sister bought too many servers, every day to upload panic buying software to the temporary server purely rely on manual will take a long time, too tired. Jiang recommended to flower sister a remote management tool, batch, one-time 50 servers no problem, but also their own file upload FTP function, just can solve this problem. Flower elder sister bought this software again from small river there, the problem of equipment aspect is probably solved.
The only problem left to solve is the account number. The account closure of major e-commerce companies is very fast, and many temporary accounts will be invalid the next day after being used for a few times. Account may not be able to grab, but no account directly without snap qualification. All-powerful jiang provides account services, he has a lot of trumpets in his hand, there are new every day, also do not know how to come, according to Jiang said these numbers are god, from registration to use, basically have been raised for about half a year, general e-commerce platform will not seal off these accounts in a short time, very suitable for panic buying. This is the last purchase that Hua Jie needs to do.
Her daily routine is to open the computer at 9 o ‘clock every day to board the newly purchased server, upload the software to participate in the panic buying and the newly purchased account last night, set up the commodity information to panic buying, fill in the countdown, waiting for the arrival of 10 o ‘clock. General e-commerce activities are done at 10 in the morning, so many peers are also guarding this time. By the time the sale ended around 10:30, the sleepy woman had time to tidy up her tousled hair.
Flower elder sister is not only rob mobile phone, otherwise the software return rate is too low. Daily which e-commerce platform to do free single, flower sister also go to play a few. What are the recent activities, which is the most vigorous, Flower sister spent most of the day looking for prey. Is also omnipotent small jiang, began to publicize in the group what “free single information collection tool”, do things and flower elder sister do about, but the family is to use software, and flower elder sister cost is physical strength. Flower elder sister thinks, still bought, use time to be long pour also save trouble, think to think or a stroke calculate business.
Talking about a scalper rush to prepare so much software, spend so much money, flower elder sister does not seem to mind. “You can’t catch a Wolf if you don’t want to give up your child. There is always someone willing to buy, you don’t buy, you lose at the starting line. The most expensive software I bought was about 5,000 yuan, but it paid back after three months. If you think about it, a Huawei Porsche costs 9,000 yuan, but if you can grab it, you can sell it for 20,000 yuan. Don’t you think it’s not worth it now?”
In each major software group, although flower sister does not dive, she does not talk much. When she does talk, she only asks if there is any new software recently.” It is to spell stream of people before, pull a group of people to Internet cafe buy up, follow fight like, who person is much who grab the possibility is bigger, but it is fair to say relatively. Now not, after the software comes out, and become software with software rob, let alone manual users rob, we sometimes a day also can not open zhang. The arms race is messy, meaning you have to figure out what’s on the market for yourself. And to find a good software than the day difficult, who who has a great software, that is the material, but no one is willing to stand up and tell you, like muffled sound made a fortune. They might have to eat nothing for you. Who would like that. Hang group every day, just want to take a chance to see if there is a new software agent to pull business.”
Mix in this circle and not so easy, flower elder sister also had eaten dumb loss. “Some agents are shameless. They sell a piece of software when it is clearly unusable. They also sell a cracked piece of software. Usually sell software when a strong blowing in the group, such as software can not use the people disappeared, dead or alive contact. This kind of person mind only money, you ask him to ask some information he asked you to pay money, is selling what tutorial. Beginners get screwed at least once. After waiting for everybody to inform against, this group of people change a QQ number again, continue to abduct in that pit. Keep your eyes open.”
Flower elder sister glad to know jiang such gold medal agent, on the one hand, Jiang people are good, never cheated him, on the one hand, if there is no Jiang as a guide, she is simply can not enter the circle. “The first time I went to someone to buy software, they said they don’t sell software. Later contacted The small river, small river just let that person sell software to me. It is too closed, you will not realize that this is a buying software group when you look at the name of the group. I have never seen any agent give us the author’s information, and sometimes the agent will post screenshots of private conversations with the author when they are happy. I guess they’ve all been served tea before. Sometimes I think there is a problem with using the software, but I have only seen the author drinking tea and never seen the user being checked the water meter, so I am not afraid.”
I set a small goal for myself, “I will try to become an agent next year. After dealing with Jiang for a long time, I gradually found that the best way to make money is to make money from people who want to make money.”
conclusion
In a market economy, producers compete with producers, consumers with consumers, and producers never compete with consumers. The emergence of scalpers broke this rule. As the first batch of consumption-level suppliers, scalpers stand at the top of the consumer link, competing with producers and consumers. In the case of strong demand areas, scalpers quickly monopolize the supply in a short period of time, re-evaluate the market price of goods, and finally re-sell. It is attached to the huge experience body of each major e-commerce business, and continues to breed, multiply and grow. Nash’s pig-wise game determined that if the tide of the market economy never stops, the fleeces will simply have to wait it out. With the Internet economy on its back, this army of fleece is forever on the march.
In the short term, everything has an end. After two years of hard work, winter is here again in the cattle world. Lao Qiang’s software hasn’t been updated for several months, and Jiang’s QQ id never lights up. And in the face of the whole scalping software circle, other software is no longer as powerful as before, the collective disappearance of agents within the after-sales group, seems to indicate that the major e-commerce began to play the real. However, under the stimulus of money, how many people in this society will repeat the road of small river in the future, and how many young technology debugging their code in the cheap rental house, like an old gun waiting for the e-commerce platform to make mistakes, as long as a mistake, they may start a new dynasty.
No one knows.
