"The more expensive things are, the more popular they will be from consumers. Veblencheng will not deceive me." Liu Cheng sat in the seat, turned around, his face was extremely strange.

The Veblen effect is a psychological effect in consumer psychology, which refers to the higher the price of certain commodities, the more trust they will gain from consumers.

Just like the line from Party A and Party B, don’t buy the best one, just buy the most expensive one.

The free service is provided, the more likely it is to cause psychological doubts among consumers. The more expensive the service is, the more doubtful the consumers will not.

Joker is actually a dark web project that can communicate instantly, but he needs a ticket of 300 US dollars.

These 300 US dollars tickets can actually gain the favor of insecure black and gray industry practitioners.

Moreover, Liu Cheng's joker does solve the pain points of black and gray industry practitioners.

For example, instant messaging, the dark web is very weak on the mobile terminal and accessing the dark web is extremely complicated. Joker is the first dual-end data interoperability software for black and gray industry practitioners.

For these rats and cockroaches hidden in the underground world, it is a long drought and rain!

Some require face-to-face transactions and urgently change locations for some reasons. Instant messaging is their urgent need.

The pain points solved are similar to security checks. When faced with interrogation, mobile phone address book is the key target of monitoring. They often prepare multiple mobile phones, once faced with interrogation, they can only discard or hide, and the risk factor is extremely high.

Joker's startup method on Android and iOS is very wonderful. Its opening method is to start from the digital dial keyboard. After entering a unique series of digital codes, it can be started. Only the holder knows it.

This brings them an extremely comfortable experience.

But what they don’t know is that all the data behind this software will be strictly screened and reviewed by dedicated personnel.

Liu Cheng went back and forth in just two hours, and the number of users had risen from 20,000 to 50,000.

Moreover, in line with the development direction of network fission, users are constantly expanding with an index scale.

The huge data flow caught Liu Cheng off guard. In addition to adding servers, it also needed to optimize the data flow.

A pure instant messaging software has been greatly sought after.

"Where did you get so much money?" Liu Yinuo was the first to react. This was nearly 15 million US dollars, nearly 100 million yuan, and nearly 120 million Hong Kong dollars!

All are in the account of an offshore company in Hong Kong.

This is a Vie architecture company that has no relationship with Liu Cheng, which is specifically for Joker operation. To be precise, this is a foreign company, although the actual controller is Liu Cheng.

"There will be about HK$600 million in the account in the near future, and taxes will be paid according to law." Liu Cheng said seriously: "Do you want me to explain the technology to you?"

"I want you to explain where the money comes from!" Liu Yinuo was already crazy. So much money appeared on the account for no reason, and there would be no pie falling from the sky!

Liu Cheng thought seriously for a long time and told the matter. Although Liu Yinuo had difficulty listening to the technical explanation, she still asked her endlessly and finally determined the nature of the money.

"So it's the illegal income of the black and gray industry, right?" Liu Yinuo found the essence of the facts, and she walked around anxiously and said, "Are you short of money? Why do you need to make this money?"

"I didn't expect it to make money. I just customized a p2p point-to-point service software that is not illegal, and I didn't expect it to be so popular." Liu Cheng said truthfully.

Liu Yinuo slapped the table hard and shouted loudly: "What about Director Peng? Why don't you hand over this money? This is all illegal income. What if you find it on your head in the future?"

"I have not participated in illegal activities," Liu Cheng explained helplessly: "And I have a special industry license. Like the hotel industry, the engraving and printing industry, the errand recycling and trust industry, and the repair industry, they are all special industries."

"What I do is not illegal. They use my software to do illegal things, and it has nothing to do with me."

Liu Cheng explained tirelessly that Liu Yinuo was like this. He was very concerned about Liu Cheng's affairs and was unwilling to be at a slight risk to Liu Cheng.

Liu Yinuo walked around anxiously until a cold sweat broke out on his forehead and said, "You immediately call Director Peng and said you would visit him, and jointly establish a Cybersecurity Promotion Foundation to transfer the money to the foundation."

"He patted his butt and took the data and took the responsibility completely. How could such a good thing happen!"

Liu Cheng shook his head and said, "It's absolutely unnecessary to do this."

"There will be no problem with this money. We don't move it. In November, we entered the Hong Kong stock market, purchased stocks, and finally Kuway invested in the market, small batches, small scales, and multiple equity transactions, so the money is even more ok."

"What if you find it on your head?" Liu Yinuo asked worriedly.

Liu Cheng smiled and said, "The main server is in the computer center, but not in my hands. Whose server is responsible? Who can convict me?"

He knew clearly that the country was a mainland legal system, and the approval of crimes was about evidence, not the defense of lawyers, and the server was not his, but computer center, and had nothing to do with him.

"Is the server theirs?" Liu Yinuo finally breathed a sigh of relief. She always thought that the data flow would be passed on the server in Liu Cheng's nest. Now she realized that they were just tool people.

"Where do we have the permission to view such sensitive data? Do you want to view it? I'm leaving a back door." Liu Cheng nodded and said. He cared very much about this matter and insisted on it.

Wang Xing of Kuaibo was taken away by someone, but the things inside the server became notarized in the court.

Why did Qihoo and Penguin fight, but the one who was in trouble in the end was Kuaibo?

This is another long story.

"You are crazy, why do you keep the back door for such a thing? The old birthday boy hangs him, do you think his life is long?" Liu Yinuo hit Liu Cheng with a few fists!

Liu Cheng said with a smile: "I'm having fun with you, how dare I?"

As for whether he left the back door?

Only he himself knew this. After all, those who reviewed the Joker code did not find the backdoor he left behind. Whether to leave the backdoor was entirely up to Liu Cheng's professional ethics.

In less than a week, Joker became the first choice for black and gray industry practitioners, with the user scale rising from 50,000 to 200,000.

But this number is not the end point, but has entered a stable period of growth.

Liu Cheng specially set up feedback, which in the backend of the software formed a sharp contrast with the comments outside, and was unanimously praised.

Moreover, they urgently hope that Joker can provide a "mall" with digital currency as a medium, so that they can form a fully anonymous closed loop of finding buyers, anonymous transactions, and safe monetization on Jokers.

However, Liu Cheng turned a deaf ear to such requests. Although he could charge handling fees to make more money, he would not do anything that he did not allow him to do.

If you really do this, you will be tired of your work.

Liu Cheng felt like he was collecting rents under the order, and he was also collecting rents from black and gray industry practitioners.
