It happened to be in San Francisco.
It's a very old-fashioned job-hunting scam. Fraudsters use 58list platform to publish a series of advertisements for recruiting part-time typists and data entry clerks, and then swindle cash from job seekers for entry deposit, training fees and other reasons. In just one week after the opening of 58list, six people in the bay area were cheated, and the total amount of fraud reached US $23000.
After the victim called the police, the local police in San Francisco quickly determined that it was a gang fraud.
At the same time, the 58list team was informed at the first time, and blocked accounts and posts suspected of fraud.
Logically speaking, the next step is naturally the investigation and detection of the case.
However, the traditional paper media platform is already eyeing the launch of 58list. After the fraud, the San Francisco Chronicle of Hearst group soon got the news, and made a special report on the front page of August 18, wantonly attacking the lack of security of 58list service.
Then, on August 19, the six victims of the fraud filed a class action suit against igritte, demanding compensation of up to $3 million, and demanded that igritte shut down 58list because it was responsible to the public.
Many lawsuits in the United States are always accompanied by very exaggerated claims. Anyway, they start from the ground.
Of course, this time, many people understand that the lawsuit requires igritte to close down. The media has just come to light, and then there is a class action lawsuit. There is even no prior private contact. If there is no one behind it, the ghost will not believe it.
Igritte company had expected this situation in the process of preparing 58list.
According to the website service process, users who use 58list must click and agree to the exemption terms of the website in advance, and get a clear anti fraud reminder at the same time. What's more, 58list doesn't charge any fees from the classified information advertisements published by users, so it doesn't need to bear the responsibility of ensuring the accuracy of information. Therefore, even if the case goes to the Federal Supreme Court, the possibility of igrit losing the lawsuit is almost zero.
However, if 58list really picks itself up, it will certainly damage the corporate image of the whole igritte company in the hearts of users.
Simon didn't plan to do that from the beginning.
Exemption clauses and anti fraud reminders are just to prevent 58list from being entangled in endless lawsuits. Since things happen, igritte company is bound to try its best to solve the problem and recover the loss of users. In fact, doing so is also to protect its own reputation and interests.
When he first set up the intelligence team of the Westeros family, Simon had already determined that the team's role in the public is to deal with all kinds of hacker attacks, network fraud and other Internet crimes that igritte may encounter.
Unknowingly, the intelligence team of the Westeros family has more than 200 people. Under the advice of intelligence experts in the industry, they are distributed in North America, Europe and Australia in the form of a very professional spy network.
Weapons will rust if they are not used for a long time.
Therefore, the intelligence team has been very active under Janet's arrangement. In addition to the security and prevention work of the Westeros family in the dark, the Simons also intentionally or unintentionally select various targets or arrange some tasks for the team to investigate or complete. Even many of the targets and tasks have no clear purpose. This is just to ensure that the team will not be involved‘ It's rusty.
As for the expenses and money, Simon is not a problem.
As a result, for two years, the surveillance and investigation files for various targets were packed with several cabinets in the basement of shell villa. Some time ago, the maid next to the female assistant tried to sell the employer's information. In fact, it was found at the beginning, not to mention a series of follow-up actions. In order to avoid the backwardness, up to now, the maid named Doris Fischer still lives with her There's eyes on it all the time.
Simon arrived in San Francisco on August 19, the day six victims filed a class action, and personally deployed the detection of the fraud.
He doesn't trust the bay area police.
The agents in American crime dramas are always brilliant and insightful, but in fact, the inefficiency of law enforcement agencies in the United States is almost well known. Even the average detection rate of kidnapping, homicide, arson and other malignant cases is only 60%, not to mention "small things" such as fraud.
Moreover, some means of regular law enforcement departments can not be used.
This is not a problem for the private intelligence team of the Westeros.
By the time Simon arrived in San Francisco, a team headed by Martin dinam had been busy for three days, and basically mastered the direction of the case.
According to the post IP information involved in the fraud case, the intelligence team located an Internet bar in Richmond city in the north of the bay area, which was a project jointly initiated by igritte and AOL. Now the chain Internet bar with more than 1200 stores in North America has been owned by IBM and some private equity funds on Wall Street.In the early 1990s, the monitoring system was still very backward. However, the team successfully obtained the monitoring video of a bank's public area near the block where the Internet cafe was located.
At the same time, the official files about the case are in the hands of igritte. Although the class action was initiated, two of the six victims agreed to cooperate with the company's investigation under the lobbying of igrit.
After the investigation of the surveillance video and the personal identification of the victim, the suspected target was basically confirmed around 8:00 p.m. on August 19.
It seems that the whole thing is very simple. Many of the links do not have enough strength, contacts and skills. It is only wishful thinking to complete them. In the final analysis, it is a matter of money. This is also the reason for the low detection rate of the US police. Given sufficient budget and manpower, there are no cases in the world that can not be solved.
Identify the suspect. The next step is to find someone.
Although there are more than 5 million people in the bay area, it is not difficult to find the target by drawing the accurate appearance of the suspect through the surveillance video and the description of the victim, and at the same time locking the general activity area of the other party.
Therefore, it is not difficult for ordinary people to catch criminals when they encounter fraud, especially the Internet fraud and telephone fraud. However, the operators are not willing to trouble, the police are not willing to trouble, the victims are not too busy, often can only let it go.
Simon stayed at igritte headquarters until more than nine o'clock in the evening before returning to his villa in Woodside hills.
The female assistant did not have a rest. She sat quietly reading in the living room of the villa. The TV was on, but a small figure came out.
Simon gave his coat to girl D, went to the sofa and sat down with Jennifer. He gave her a kiss on the face and asked, "is the little guy naughty?"
"No, I think I'm asleep," the assistant put down her book, put her body towards Simon, and asked, "what's up there?"
"It's done. Just find someone."
"What about class action and the media?"
"These are the things Jeff and they have to deal with. We just wait for the results."
Simon said so. He leaned over and put his ear on the female assistant's belly. After listening for a moment, he didn't move. So he skillfully bent his finger to knock. The female assistant opened it with a smile: "it's not watermelon. Don't wake up the baby."
After a few jokes, Simon looked at the time and said, "do you want me to take you to the bath?"
Jennifer opens her arms to Simon: "good."
Simon got up, picked up the girl assistant and went to the bedroom.
After taking a bath, putting on her pajamas, and lying on her side beside Simon in the big bed of her bedroom, she was obviously sleepy and asked, "do you want to wait for the news from London?"
It's August 19 in Los Angeles. London is eight hours earlier than the west coast of the United States. It's August 20.
Nokia will be officially listed on the London Stock Exchange on the morning of August 20 local time.
The opening time of the London Stock Exchange is from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. according to the 8-hour time difference, in the early hours of Los Angeles, the inquiry should start before the official trading in London, and the official opening time of Nokia stock is at least 1:00 a.m. in Los Angeles.
Simon didn't plan to wait like this. He shook his head, turned off the ceiling light in his bedroom, left a light yellow wall lamp at the head of the bed, took the first copy of Walden and said, "read to you?"
"Well."
Simon leaned on the head of the bed, waited for the female assistant to find a comfortable position beside him, opened the page and read quietly.
At the other end of the Atlantic, before seven o'clock in the morning, Nokia CEO JOMA Ollila and James Leibold, who came from New York, gathered in the headquarters Hall of the stock exchange in the city of London.
The difference between the London Stock Exchange and other major exchanges in the world is that it opens at 8 a.m., which is at least one day earlier than the mainstream opening time.
After more than half a year's preparation, the IPO valuation of Nokia was finally determined to be 1.8 billion pounds. According to the exchange rate that has not recovered from last year's pound crisis, it is equivalent to 2.7 billion dollars, which is about 35% higher than the valuation of 2 billion dollars at the beginning of the year. This is mainly due to the strong growth of Nokia's performance in the first half of the year.
In 1992, Nokia's revenue was US $1.47 billion, and 3.76 million mobile phones were sold.
In 1993, influenced by the rapid development of European mobile communication industry, the acceleration of digital communication upgrading and Nokia's re-entry into the North American market, Nokia's turnover reached US $1.13 billion in the first two quarters, equivalent to 76% of 1992's revenue, and also achieved a net profit of US $129 million.
At the same time, the sales volume of Nokia's mobile devices has increased significantly, with the shipment volume reaching 3.39 million in six months, which is close to the whole year of 1992. It is estimated that the annual shipment volume of Nokia's mobile devices will reach 7 million in 1993, and the annual revenue growth rate of the enterprise will reach an amazing 80%.As a result, the 1.8 billion pound valuation is still seriously undervalued in the eyes of many analysts.
According to Nokia's ultra-high growth rate and its revenue and profit situation in the first half of the year, even the valuation standard of 15 times P / E ratio will be very conservative.
However, the estimated value of 1.8 billion pounds is only 10.5 times of P / E.
Due to the undervalued market value and excellent enterprise development prospects, Nokia's stock subscription scale has reached 12 times of the issuance scale in the early roadshow stage, which is definitely the most popular new stock of London Stock Exchange in recent years.
Many media think that making Nokia the most active new stock on the London Stock Exchange is probably the reason why Westeros tolerates an undervalued price earnings ratio of 10.5 times.
The lower the issue price, the more active the transaction after listing, so it is more conducive to the future growth trend of the stock price.
Overall, it's a choice for the future.
Nokia's development is very healthy and rapid, so the future of the company is more important than the IPO stage. After all, both Nokia itself and the continuously expanding vistro system are not short of funds.
In terms of equity, westero has 132 million shares in Nokia. After the exchange of equity awards and internal staff subscription before listing, the total share capital of westero has expanded to 137 million shares.
In this IPO, Nokia issued 28 million new shares.
All calculated, after the completion of the IPO, westero's shareholding in Nokia just maintained at 80% of the original plan.
According to the valuation of US $1.8 billion and Nokia's initial total share capital of 132 million, the issue price of the shares is determined to be 13.63 pounds, and the scale of fund-raising is 381 million pounds, equivalent to 576 million dollars.
At the end of August in London, the weather had turned cold, but the hall of the stock exchange was hot.
At 8 o'clock, after the opening speech and bell ringing ceremony, the inquiry stage officially began, and everyone in the hall turned their attention to the electronic display board in the trading hall.
Fifteen minutes later, looking at a series of figures on the electronic display board that jumped directly to 15.25 to 15.55, the last bit of suspense dropped completely.
At 9 o'clock, after four rounds of inquiry, Nokia shares officially opened in London Stock Exchange. Compared with the issue price of 13.63 pounds, the opening price of Nokia shares reached 18.12 pounds, up 33%.
If it is other new shares, the first day of the whole day's increase reached 33%, in fact, it is already very good.
However, for Nokia, the opening 33% increase is just the beginning.
In the face of continuous buying demand, Nokia's share price rose all the way in the following hours.
In the hall of the exchange, no matter the excited Nokia executives or the media reporters from all sides, looking at the rising share price of Nokia on the electronic display board, they even have the feeling of witnessing a miracle.
When Simon got up at seven o'clock local time in San Francisco, he received an overseas call from London almost immediately.
James Leibold took the initiative to give up the microphone to JOMA Olivia, the CEO of Nokia, who was almost incoherent on the phone, but Simon also clearly heard a key point, 106%. Moreover, there was still an hour and a half before the closing, and the rally still did not stop.
Simon is very generous to Nokia's management, or JOMA Ollila, whom he values most.
After three years in charge of Nokia, among the 5 million shares awarded and subscribed by the Nokia team, yoma Ollila alone took 3 million shares, which is close to 2% of Nokia's total share capital. Moreover, it is a complete stock award, not a low price internal subscription by many employees.
Depending on the situation, just today, yoma Ollila is expected to become a billionaire.
As usual, I ran in Woodside mountains, had breakfast with my female assistant, and listened to the work arrangement of girl a today. Until 8:30 in London, the stock exchange officially closed at 4:30 p.m. and yoma Ollila called again. Nokia's share price rose by 121% in the whole day, and the closing share price reached $30.12. As a result, Nokia's market value reached 4.969 billion pounds , equivalent to US $7.5 billion.
As Nokia's largest shareholder, westero's stake has increased to $6 billion.
In three years, the accumulated investment of 500 million US dollars recovered 6 billion US dollars, and the rate of return reached 1200%.
With the launch of Nokia, not only Nokia CEO JOMA Ollila directly became a billionaire, but also created a series of multimillionaires and millionaires.
Although Nokia's P / E ratio reached 29 times at the close of the day, due to the market's pursuit of Westeros concept stocks and Nokia's optimistic development prospects, major analysts generally predict that Nokia's share price still has a lot of room for growth, and the final P / E ratio is expected to reach about 50 times.
If this is true, there is no doubt that after AOL, Cisco and other enterprises, a technology company with a market value of 10 billion US dollars will appear again in westero system.

Therefore, even if the case goes to the Federal Supreme Court, the possibility of igrit losing the lawsuit is almost zero. However, if 58list really picks itself up, it will certainly damage the corporate image of the whole igritte company in the hearts of users. Simon didn't plan to do that from the beginning. Exemption clauses and anti fraud reminders are just to prevent 58list from being entangled in endless lawsuits. Since things happen, igritte company is bound to try its best to solve the problem and recover the loss of users. In fact, doing so is also to protect its own reputation and interests. When he first set up the intelligence team of the Westeros family, Simon had already determined that the team's role in the public is to deal with all kinds of hacker attacks, network fraud and other Internet crimes that igritte may encounter. Unknowingly, the intelligence team of the Westeros family has more than 200 people. Under the advice of intelligence experts in the industry, they are distributed in North America, Europe and Australia in the form of a very professional spy network. Weapons will rust if they are not used for a long time. Therefore, the intelligence team has been very active under Janet's arrangement. In addition to the security and prevention work of the Westeros family in the dark, the Simons also intentionally or unintentionally select various targets or arrange some tasks for the team to investigate or complete. Even many of the targets and tasks have no clear purpose. This is just to ensure that the team will not be involved It's rusty. As for the expenses and money, Simon is not a problem. As a result, for two years, the surveillance and investigation files for various targets were packed with several cabinets in the basement of shell villa. Some time ago, the maid next to the female assistant tried to sell the employer's information. In fact, it was found at the beginning, not to mention a series of follow-up actions. In order to avoid the backwardness, up to now, the maid named Doris Fischer still lives with her There's eyes on it all the time. Simon arrived in San Francisco on August 19, the day six victims filed a class action, and personally deployed the detection of the fraud. He doesn't trust the bay area police. The agents in American crime dramas are always brilliant and insightful, but in fact, the inefficiency of law enforcement agencies in the United States is almost well known. Even the average detection rate of kidnapping, homicide, arson and other malignant cases is only 60%, not to mention "small things" such as fraud. Moreover, some means of regular law enforcement departments can not be used. This is not a problem for the private intelligence team of the Westeros. By the time Simon arrived in San Francisco, a team headed by Martin dinam had been busy for three days, and basically mastered the direction of the case. According to the post IP information involved in the fraud case, the intelligence team located an Internet bar in Richmond city in the north of the bay area, which was a project jointly initiated by igritte and AOL. Now the chain Internet bar with more than 1200 stores in North America has been owned by IBM and some private equity funds on Wall Street.In the early 1990s, the monitoring system was still very backward. However, the team successfully obtained the monitoring video of a bank's public area near the block where the Internet cafe was located. At the same time, the official files about the case are in the hands of igritte. Although the class action was initiated, two of the six victims agreed to cooperate with the company's investigation under the lobbying of igrit. After the investigation of the surveillance video and the personal identification of the victim, the suspected target was basically confirmed around 8:00 p.m. on August 19. It seems that the whole thing is very simple. Many of the links do not have enough strength, contacts and skills. It is only wishful thinking to complete them. In the final analysis, it is a matter of money. This is also the reason for the low detection rate of the US police. Given sufficient budget and manpower, there are no cases in the world that can not be solved. Identify the suspect. The next step is to find someone. Although there are more than 5 million people in the bay area, it is not difficult to find the target by drawing the accurate appearance of the suspect through the surveillance video and the description of the victim, and at the same time locking the general activity area of the other party. Therefore, it is not difficult for ordinary people to catch criminals when they encounter fraud, especially the Internet fraud and telephone fraud. However, the operators are not willing to trouble, the police are not willing to trouble, the victims are not too busy, often can only let it go. Simon stayed at igritte headquarters until more than nine o'clock in the evening before returning to his villa in Woodside hills. The female assistant did not have a rest. She sat quietly reading in the living room of the villa. The TV was on, but a small figure came out. Simon gave his coat to girl D, went to the sofa and sat down with Jennifer. He gave her a kiss on the face and asked, "is the little guy naughty?" "No, I think I'm asleep," the assistant put down her book, put her body towards Simon, and asked, "what's up there?" "It's done. Just find someone." "What about class action and the media?" "These are the things Jeff and they have to deal with. We just wait for the results." Simon said so. He leaned over and put his ear on the female assistant's belly. After listening for a moment, he didn't move. So he skillfully bent his finger to knock. The female assistant opened it with a smile: "it's not watermelon. Don't wake up the baby." After a few jokes, Simon looked at the time and said, "do you want me to take you to the bath?" Jennifer opens her arms to Simon: "good." Simon got up, picked up the girl assistant and went to the bedroom. After taking a bath, putting on her pajamas, and lying on her side beside Simon in the big bed of her bedroom, she was obviously sleepy and asked, "do you want to wait for the news from London?" It's August 19 in Los Angeles. London is eight hours earlier than the west coast of the United States. It's August 20. Nokia will be officially listed on the London Stock Exchange on the morning of August 20 local time. The opening time of the London Stock Exchange is from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. according to the 8-hour time difference, in the early hours of Los Angeles, the inquiry should start before the official trading in London, and the official opening time of Nokia stock is at least 1:00 a.m. in Los Angeles. Simon didn't plan to wait like this. He shook his head, turned off the ceiling light in his bedroom, left a light yellow wall lamp at the head of the bed, took the first copy of Walden and said, "read to you?" "Well." Simon leaned on the head of the bed, waited for the female assistant to find a comfortable position beside him, opened the page and read quietly. At the other end of the Atlantic, before seven o'clock in the morning, Nokia CEO JOMA Ollila and James Leibold, who came from New York, gathered in the headquarters Hall of the stock exchange in the city of London. The difference between the London Stock Exchange and other major exchanges in the world is that it opens at 8 a.m., which is at least one day earlier than the mainstream opening time. After more than half a year's preparation, the IPO valuation of Nokia was finally determined to be 1.8 billion pounds. According to the exchange rate that has not recovered from last year's pound crisis, it is equivalent to 2.7 billion dollars, which is about 35% higher than the valuation of 2 billion dollars at the beginning of the year. This is mainly due to the strong growth of Nokia's performance in the first half of the year. In 1992, Nokia's revenue was US $1.47 billion, and 3.76 million mobile phones were sold. In 1993, influenced by the rapid development of European mobile communication industry, the acceleration of digital communication upgrading and Nokia's re-entry into the North American market, Nokia's turnover reached US $1.13 billion in the first two quarters, equivalent to 76% of 1992's revenue, and also achieved a net profit of US $129 million. At the same time, the sales volume of Nokia's mobile devices has increased significantly, with the shipment volume reaching 3.39 million in six months, which is close to the whole year of 1992. It is estimated that the annual shipment volume of Nokia's mobile devices will reach 7 million in 1993, and the annual revenue growth rate of the enterprise will reach an amazing 80%.As a result, the 1.8 billion pound valuation is still seriously undervalued in the eyes of many analysts. According to Nokia's ultra-high growth rate and its revenue and profit situation in the first half of the year, even the valuation standard of 15 times P / E ratio will be very conservative. However, the estimated value of 1.8 billion pounds is only 10.5 times of P / E. Due to the undervalued market value and excellent enterprise development prospects, Nokia's stock subscription scale has reached 12 times of the issuance scale in the early roadshow stage, which is definitely the most popular new stock of London Stock Exchange in recent years. Many media think that making Nokia the most active new stock on the London Stock Exchange is probably the reason why Westeros tolerates an undervalued price earnings ratio of 10.5 times. The lower the issue price, the more active the transaction after listing, so it is more conducive to the future growth trend of the stock price. Overall, it's a choice for the future. Nokia's development is very healthy and rapid, so the future of the company is more important than the IPO stage. After all, both Nokia itself and the continuously expanding vistro system are not short of funds. In terms of equity, westero has 132 million shares in Nokia. After the exchange of equity awards and internal staff subscription before listing, the total share capital of westero has expanded to 137 million shares. In this IPO, Nokia issued 28 million new shares. All calculated, after the completion of the IPO, westero's shareholding in Nokia just maintained at 80% of the original plan. According to the valuation of US $1.8 billion and Nokia's initial total share capital of 132 million, the issue price of the shares is determined to be 13.63 pounds, and the scale of fund-raising is 381 million pounds, equivalent to 576 million dollars. At the end of August in London, the weather had turned cold, but the hall of the stock exchange was hot. At 8 o'clock, after the opening speech and bell ringing ceremony, the inquiry stage officially began, and everyone in the hall turned their attention to the electronic display board in the trading hall. Fifteen minutes later, looking at a series of figures on the electronic display board that jumped directly to 15.25 to 15.55, the last bit of suspense dropped completely. At 9 o'clock, after four rounds of inquiry, Nokia shares officially opened in London Stock Exchange. Compared with the issue price of 13.63 pounds, the opening price of Nokia shares reached 18.12 pounds, up 33%. If it is other new shares, the first day of the whole day's increase reached 33%, in fact, it is already very good. However, for Nokia, the opening 33% increase is just the beginning. In the face of continuous buying demand, Nokia's share price rose all the way in the following hours. In the hall of the exchange, no matter the excited Nokia executives or the media reporters from all sides, looking at the rising share price of Nokia on the electronic display board, they even have the feeling of witnessing a miracle. When Simon got up at seven o'clock local time in San Francisco, he received an overseas call from London almost immediately. James Leibold took the initiative to give up the microphone to JOMA Olivia, the CEO of Nokia, who was almost incoherent on the phone, but Simon also clearly heard a key point, 106%. Moreover, there was still an hour and a half before the closing, and the rally still did not stop. Simon is very generous to Nokia's management, or JOMA Ollila, whom he values most. After three years in charge of Nokia, among the 5 million shares awarded and subscribed by the Nokia team, yoma Ollila alone took 3 million shares, which is close to 2% of Nokia's total share capital. Moreover, it is a complete stock award, not a low price internal subscription by many employees. Depending on the situation, just today, yoma Ollila is expected to become a billionaire. As usual, I ran in Woodside mountains, had breakfast with my female assistant, and listened to the work arrangement of girl a today. Until 8:30 in London, the stock exchange officially closed at 4:30 p.m. and yoma Ollila called again. Nokia's share price rose by 121% in the whole day, and the closing share price reached $30.12. As a result, Nokia's market value reached 4.969 billion pounds , equivalent to US $7.5 billion. As Nokia's largest shareholder, westero's stake has increased to $6 billion. In three years, the accumulated investment of 500 million US dollars recovered 6 billion US dollars, and the rate of return reached 1200%. With the launch of Nokia, not only Nokia CEO JOMA Ollila directly became a billionaire, but also created a series of multimillionaires and millionaires. Although Nokia's P / E ratio reached 29 times at the close of the day, due to the market's pursuit of Westeros concept stocks and Nokia's optimistic development prospects, major analysts generally predict that Nokia's share price still has a lot of room for growth, and the final P / E ratio is expected to reach about 50 times. If this is true, there is no doubt that after AOL, Cisco and other enterprises, a technology company with a market value of 10 billion US dollars will appear again in westero system.
