Chapter 522 Business Sandbox
The news article also included a photo.
It showed Martin at a nightclub with his arm around a seductive woman!
Below it, a caption read: "Rich Source Catering has also fallen into financial trouble due to its chairman's plummeting net worth and declining reputation, with salary payment delays now occurring!"
As time went on.
Just two months later, Rich Source Catering began selling off assets due to mounting losses, heading toward its demise!
On the virtual screen.
Various Rich Source Catering locations were rapidly disappearing, closing down one after another, or being sold off at low prices!
Nearly a hundred investment managers were stunned!
The blue glow from the floating virtual screens lit up their faces in flickering light and shadow!
Their expressions showed extreme shock!
In just 10 minutes, they had witnessed a major corporation's 50-year rise and fall!
"Paul Three, you're predicting the future!"
"This is unbelievable!"
"Paul Three, how did you know Martin was having an affair?"
Elbert sighed.
"Naturally, it's based on Martin's schedule, the time he spent with his wife, their spending patterns, and how often he's been going to the pharmacy lately."
"Plus, his wife hired a private investigator three days ago to specifically investigate Martin and collect evidence."
Elbert turned slightly, and a young man appeared on the virtual screen.
"Martin's downfall isn't just because of the divorce."
"Rich Source Catering is a family business, and this person is Martin's relative who has racked up nearly $400 million in gambling debts!"
"These are all factors contributing to Rich Source Catering's decline!"
The investment managers could only use two words to express their feelings at this moment!
If Martin knew his company would end up like this, he would definitely agree to sell!
As investment professionals in the internet industry, they naturally understood what kind of system this was!
Big data!
And super-powerful big data at that!
This program had information-gathering tentacles spread across the entire web!
And then it had super computing speed, using various seemingly unrelated clues to predict future outcomes!
Simply incredible!
Truly worthy of Twin App Paul Three!
Using big data like this!
One investment manager, trembling slightly with excitement, asked: "Paul Three, how long does it take your program to make such a prediction?"
Elbert smiled slightly, "Name a company."
The investment manager paused, a premonition making his scalp tingle!
He hesitated: "Fair Castle fast food restaurant."
Ding...
The screen behind Elbert made a crisp notification sound.
Then it immediately entered analysis mode!
'Fair Castle, established in 2009, with 1,300 chain stores nationwide.'
'As people reject high-calorie fried foods, this restaurant's performance has seriously declined in recent years.'
'The current company head is seeking to sell the business.'
The screen once again showed the process of a store's development from nothing!
And predicted its future direction - if no one acquired it, it would file for bankruptcy within 3 years!
The prediction system on screen even listed optimization plans, suggesting low-calorie meal options with a focus on weight loss and health concepts!
The room fell silent again!
Only now did the investment managers truly grasp reality!
This wasn't a pre-made 3D presentation, nor did it require data collection in advance!
It was a real-time prediction system!
Anytime, anywhere, just input a company name, and it could list strengths and weaknesses, letting you instantly understand their business model!
In other words, if you had this information, you'd have the winning negotiation tool!
This wasn't just a powerful weapon for the investment industry!
This was a damn guillotine!
Cutting down whoever it targeted!
Elbert said with his hands behind his back: "Technology is developing rapidly now, the market fluctuates greatly, and the average lifespan of companies is only 3-5 years."
"The probability of a 20-year company is only 0.003%, 50-year companies only 0.0012%, and century-old companies are even rarer!"
"So, my system can theoretically identify problems in 90% of companies on the market and find significant breakthrough points for acquisition!"
90%?
The investment managers' mouths twitched slightly.
If it can dig up affairs and embezzlement by shareholders, your probability is at least 99.99%!
Elbert slowly picked up the watch from the floor and put it on his wrist.
Only now did people focus their attention on this watch!
Black minimalist band, with no complex structures on the face, just a square, smooth dial like black gemstone!
Simple, luxurious, and full of mystery!
Elbert pointed to his wrist, "This was supposed to be a tech product Twin App would release in a year, but you'll be representing the company in business negotiations, so you need to showcase TO's technological strength!"
"So, congratulations, you'll be the first 100 users of the Sky Screen watch!"
An investment manager jumped up!
"Paul Three, you mean we'll each have one of those watches, and we can all use the economic prediction system?"
Elbert nodded slowly, "That's right, otherwise how would everyone achieve their goals?"
"Oh my god!"
"I'm so lucky!"
"With this, we can acquire those companies to death!"
"Leave nothing behind!"
Nearly a hundred investment managers erupted!
A few impatient ones could barely be held back, almost rushing to the door!
But they suddenly returned, because they had nothing on their wrists!
"Boss, what's your system called?"
Someone suddenly asked unconsciously!
Elbert smiled faintly, "I call it Business Sandbox."
Everyone listened.
A bolt of lightning flashed through their minds!
Business Sandbox - a fitting name. Being able to simulate the entire business world in a small environment for prediction, wasn't that exactly a sandbox?
But the most shocking point for them.
Was the word 'Business'!
If Paul Three could predict business through the system.
Couldn't he predict other things too?
They knew full well that the system's information sources involved quite a bit of hacking technology!
The investment managers suddenly felt a chill down their spines!
"Paul Three, don't look at me, I'm absolutely loyal to Witness!"
Elbert chuckled, "People Elowen trusts, I naturally trust too. But our technology hasn't been released yet, so during your usage, try to keep a low profile and just achieve the acquisition goals!"
"Paul Three, don't worry!"
"We understand!"
"We'll keep as low a profile as possible and do our best to get things done!"
