Chapter 427: Science Fiction Story
Early the next morning, Sophie flew back to Paris to begin preparations for the establishment of the art company, while Oliver stayed here, she had come for a holiday, not to work, and she was not required to do these things, and her lawyers and financial managers would arrange everything.
On the calm Lake Zurich, Chen Dahe rowed his oars, waving layers of waves on the surface of the lake, pushing the boat slowly towards the center of the lake.
"Hey, I said," Chen Dahe wiped the sweat from his face and panted slightly, "You come on vacation and go on vacation, why don't you drag me to swim in the lake, even if you swim in the lake, you have to get a small boat, you don't need to row." β
"It's a little bit of a row, it's still not a man," Oliver glanced at him disdainfully, and then continued to lie in the cabin, opening his hands, looking at the white clouds in the sky, feeling the breeze on his face, "It's so comfortable, but it's not winter, otherwise I would never have pulled you to the lake, but to ski!"
Chen Dahe wiped a cold sweat, fortunately it was not winter, otherwise it would be life-threatening.
"Chen," Oliver said with his eyes closed, "the actor president has been in office for nine months, and there doesn't seem to be any movement, didn't you say he was pretty good last year, and that seems to be it." β
"Huh?" Chen Dahe was stunned, "Aren't you here for a vacation, how do you mention this?"
"Let's talk casually," Oliver changed his posture and looked at Chen Dahe with his head in one hand, "The Jones family raised $300 million in funds, and I also got a $200 million credit authorization from Citibank, just waiting for his economic plan to come out, but he didn't move at all, no movement means no investment, no investment means loss, if this money is used for other purposes, you can make money, and now you can only wait, this is a loss, understand?"
"What are you waiting for him," Chen Dahe pouted, "Do your own plan and work hard to promote the implementation, you can get benefits, no worse than investing in that." β
"But if you invest in his new plan, you can get a high return of 100%," Oliver pouted, "If you don't get the return you deserve, it's not that the previous investment in the game is in vain, and capitalists don't have the habit of doing loss-making business!"
"Whew," Chen Dahe stopped paddling, dropped the iron anchor and parked the boat in the middle of the lake, and lay down like Oliver, with his head resting on his hands, looking at the blue sky and white clouds that seemed to be within reach, and said, "Oliver, how are you doing now that I asked you to invest in American computer-related companies?"
"Better than you expected," Oliver kicked to the side, "On the side, I take a part of the profits of Jones Culture every month and use it to invest in Apple and Intel, which has accumulated to $37 million so far, of which $5 million was invested before Apple went public, and I didn't pay attention to the stock price, but last month my accountant told me that I used a small part of it as collateral to successfully get a $200 million credit line from Citi, so the income should be quite substantial." β
"Then continue to vote," Chen Dahe said casually, "Just buy and don't sell, you can buy as much spare money as you want, just buy these two." β
"Did you buy that much?" Oliver kicked him, "HP has just launched a new type of personal computer, which is very popular in the market, compared to Apple, it is far behind, I am planning to stop buying Apple stock and switch to HP, besides, the market capacity of computers is limited after all, and generally only professional research institutions will buy them, is there such a good prospect?"
"Of course there is," Chen Dahe opened his eyes and stretched out one hand to the blue sky, "Oliver, imagine that in the future, the personal computer will no longer be just a professional computing tool, it can help you work, provide entertainment, listen to songs, watch movies and play games, do you say that it will enter thousands of households at that time? Voice and image, you are in Xiangjiang, I am in Zurich, and you can chat and communicate at any time through the computer, at that time, do you still think that there is no future in this industry?"
"Dream on you," Oliver kicked him again, causing the boat to rock from side to side, she immediately held on to the side of the boat and laughed, "Bullshit instant messaging, you think it's a phone call, it's impossible to connect two computers now, and you want to connect computers all over the world, Chen, you can go write science fiction!"
"Okay," Chen Dahe held the side of the boat and waited for the boat to stabilize before shrugging his shoulders and laughing, "Then let's talk about reality, missiles, satellites, outer space spacecraft, lasers, electromagnetic kinetic energy weapons, radios, these know, they have one thing in common, that is, they are closely related to the electronics industry, we can imagine it like this,"
"A space spacecraft in orbit around the earth launches a missile to attack a certain place on the earth, and at the same time, there are several missiles launched simultaneously on the ground, at this time the attacked country discovers the enemy's movements, they immediately track the missile launch trajectory through the satellite, and calculate the arrival time and landing point of these missiles through the ground control center, so they need to respond,"
Oliver clasped his hands and looked at the man opposite him with a smile on his lips, as if he was listening to a story.
Chen Dahe waved his hands, "At this time, the missile is already approaching rapidly, and it is about to reach the sky over the Pacific Ocean, there is not much time left for this country, they need to shoot down all the missiles flying to the mainland within an hour to ensure the safety of the mainland, at this time, His Excellency the FΓΌhrer finally issued an order to shoot down the missile!"
"With the issuance of the order, the defenders who have already locked the flight trajectory of the missile through the satellite immediately activated a number of super-conventional weapons through the computer in the control center, including microwaves, lasers, high-energy particle beams, electromagnetic kinetic energy weapons, etc., some can directly destroy the missile, some can destroy the chip inside, and some can affect the guidance system in it, and finally, all the missiles are wiped out over the ocean, and the mainland is safe! And all this is achieved through electronic tools!"
"Woohoo, what a good story," Oliver clapped his hands lightly and said with a teasing face, "Chen, even if you don't do business, you can make a fortune by writing, and the Nebula Award is for you!"
"Of course," Chen Dahe pouted, "I think so too." β
"Haha," Oliver clutched his stomach, "this is the funniest joke I've heard this year, what's the name of this story of yours? Space Wars? There are so many space weapons in it, I think it's a good name!"
"No," Chen Dahe shook his head slightly, looking meaningfully at the beautiful woman who was trembling with laughter, "It's called Star Wars!"
"That's a good name, but I don't think it's as good as a space war," Oliver breathed a sigh of relief, just in time to meet Chen Dahe's calm eyes, and then he noticed that something was wrong.
Is he serious? Star Wars? Is it possible, if it is to this extent, it will take at least a few decades of hard work by one country, and it will be the most powerful.
