1213: Tim the Wind

Seeing the friend application, Tim casually clicked OK.

As soon as he clicked on his side, his new friend sent a message.

Friends are Chinese names.

"Hello boss. ”

Tim couldn't read Chinese, so he casually replied in English and asked who he was?

"Yo ~ foreigner?"

After this Chinese sentence, the other party quickly added a sentence in English that Tim could understand, saying hello boss.

Tim asks who the other person is again, and if the other person just adds it, Tim will delete him.

It's easy to add friends to your address book in the virtual world, and if you don't turn off the nearby visibility feature, people around you can send him a friend request directly. Tim didn't care about it, but now it's likely that someone has casually added friends.

"Boss, do you want virtual currency?"

The other party only used one sentence to make Tim's hand that was about to delete the friend quickly retracted.

Tim quickly looked around and soon saw a young man waving and smiling at him on the side of the road.

Without waiting for the other party to come, the big boss who is in charge of the Apple Empire and shouts and drinks on weekdays trotted forward, "Friend, do you have virtual currency?"

"Is it the currency of the virtual world?"

"Friend, are you sure you're not kidding?"

Tim became extremely excited, one moment he was ready to go to the field to learn to be self-reliant like Bei Ye, and the next moment someone took the initiative to find him.

"Of course, what else is there to attract your attention to?" the young man with his ID [Galaxy Three] smiled, his eyes from top to bottom, and once again looked firmly at the blonde and blue-eyed foreign guy. But his appearance as a foreigner is not unusual, and some Chinese people have also made themselves an old face.

"Friend, I have to say that you are very observant. ”

"I'm really short of virtual currency. Tim lowered his voice and said, "How many you have, I want them all." ”

Galaxy No. 3 thought to himself about the smooth and vivid movements of your walking, at first glance it is the kind of top Yuan Shen suit, this suit alone costs 300,000, of course my observation is keen, if you are not willing to spend a lot of money to buy virtual currency of the big guy, who can be a big guy?

Galaxy No. 3 did not rush into the topic, "Boss, are you in Huaxia, or in the open sea?"

"Overseas, of course, there's a problem?"

Overseas is a big guy in the middle of the big guy, and now holographic glasses and supporting equipment are not sold overseas at all, this foreigner can get a full set of top equipment, and his ability can be seen.

But the overseas status has made Galaxy 3 have other concerns.

"Boss, you know I'm from Huaxia. So I only accept RMB, and you can't pay directly overseas. ”

"I can pay you directly in RMB. Tim glanced at the other party dissatisfied, it's too blind, and you don't look at who I am.

"That's easy. Galaxy No. 3 smiled even more happily, "The ratio on our side is one to five, how much do you want, boss." ”

Tim waved his hand, "100,000 first." ”

Just after saying that, Tim felt that the other party's eyes suddenly became a little wrong.

That look is like ......

It's like when he went to the hospital to visit a poor employee whose brain was damaged by a work injury, and his IQ dropped from the original master's level to that of a ten-year-old child.

"Hehe~ Boss, you're really joking. Galaxy No. 3 stared at Tim for a long time, and finally came back to his soul, "One hundred thousand?"

"Do you think I'm the administrator in the virtual world, where can I conjure up 100,000 virtual coins for you at this stage? ”

"And how many of you have?" Tim blushed a little as he choked, "I want them all." ”

"Our team of nearly 20 people, currently can only make up 1,003, if you all-inclusive, I will give you 9.5% off. ”

Tim asked how to trade.

He still hasn't figured out the transaction mechanism of the virtual world, because there is no transaction or transfer operation window on the personal information page, it is more like an electronic personal file, only recording the user's current information.

Galaxy 3 said that at present, transfers can only be made through banks in the virtual world, or ATMs on the street.

However, the transfer fee will be deducted, and the fee is 10%, which is borne by the buyer.

Tim doesn't care about the 1% transfer fee, he only cares about how he can keep the transaction safe.

"Boss, this is your first time trading virtual currency on the Internet. Galaxy No. 3's tone was quite sophisticated, "In view of the state that we are not at ease with each other in the first cooperation, we will make it easy for buyers to use multiple transactions to ensure the safety of both parties." ”

"There's an ATM not far behind me, you give me the cost of transferring 50 virtual coins first, and then tell me your account number. After I transfer the virtual currency to you, you transfer another 50 fees, and I will give you the virtual currency. ”

"Repeat sixteen times, and the deal is done. ”

Tim asked a particularly silly question, "What a waste of time, can't you turn around now?"

"Would you like to pay upfront?"

"......" Tim shook his head, "Okay, a total of six thousand five hundred yuan, you send me the account number, and I'll let the staff ...... I'll ask my friend to transfer it to you in batches. ”

Tim didn't care about the six thousand five hundred dollars, even if it was two more zeros, but he cared if he was cheated.

As the president of the world's top technology company, he is hiding in the virtual world of a competitor, and he is doing a small business with a guy who is not even a hair.

It's ridiculous.

But wouldn't it be even more ridiculous if even this small business was cheated?

The more successful people are, the more they can't allow themselves to have this kind of IQ offline moment.

"The ......"

"Boss, I'll correct you. ”

"It's a total of 6,050 US dollars, not RMB. Galaxy No. 3 smiled slightly, thinking that it would be this price to charge others, and to accept you, an overseas fat sheep, of course, to change the currency.

Tim himself seems to have been tricked, and he played it very well, "You just said that you wouldn't charge dollars." ”

Galaxy No. 3 smiled for a while: "But we accept RMB at the exchange rate of US dollars." ”

……

Dozens of minutes later, Tim Galaxy III parted ways.

With a stiff face, Tim casually hailed a taxi run by an NPC from the side.

After another twenty minutes, Tim came out of the official shopping area. By this time, the displeasure on his face had disappeared and he had been replaced by a triumphant smile as he sat down in a retro BMW R-35 motorcycle.

Equipped with a 4-speed manual gearbox, this antique World War II motorcycle is still eye-catching even on the streets of Manhattan, where supercars are crowded.

What's more, riding in a virtual world?

As soon as Tim, who was wearing a World War II flight jacket, and his car appeared on the street, countless virtual users went crazy, "I rely on ~ I rely on ~" The sound was higher than the cheers at Justin's concert.

Who the hell is this?

At this moment, the dopamine in Tim's brain is secreting wildly.

At this moment, Tim is as cool as in the clouds.

The thrill of the virtual world was ten times more refreshing than when he unveiled the company's next-generation product at his annual launch in Cuportino in October.

It's nice to have money!

While riding a motorcycle, Tim hurriedly sent a message to Galaxy 3, asking him not to sell the virtual currency produced in the future to others, and he wanted to cover it all.

The latter smiled back, clearly not taking the braggart seriously.

Just as Tim was about to go out of town, his electronic watch vibrated slightly, indicating that a new friend had been requested.

Tim had just turned off the nearby visibility, otherwise he would have bombed the street on his motorcycle, and now the friend application list will definitely receive no less than 10,000 applications.

Now it means that someone added him by searching for his user account.

After the verification passed, Tim sent a voice message and asked who the other party was.

"It's me, Anderton. ”

Tim hurriedly stopped and forced his tumultuous brain to calm down.

The name of the other party reminded Tim of his original intention of going to the virtual world this time.

The original intention was to learn about a competitor's product project, and a few hours earlier, not only Apple had sent several senior engineers into the virtual world, but other tech companies had also sent representatives. This Andetton is the vice president of Google.

Just as Tim was calming down, the friend application was beating again, and there was more than one.

Microsoft, Facebook, Amazon, etc......

After five hours of exploration and investigation, the companies have basically come to some very professional opinions.

They need and must now put aside their views and come together openly and honestly to discuss.

With several companies spread across North America, a web conference is certainly the easiest way to do it.

But now everyone has always felt that having a meeting in the virtual world makes a difference.

It just so happens that everyone chooses the identity of the human race, or maybe the virtual world puts the origin of overseas users in the same city. So after reporting their identities to each other, several company presidents were delighted to find that everyone was in the same city.

Of course, you have to find a quiet place to hold a meeting, so the meeting place is set half an hour later, at a coordinate point on an electronic map outside the city.

It stands to reason that Tim, who owns a retro BMW motorcycle, will arrive at the meeting place before any of his companions.

However, Tim did not do that.

It wasn't until a few minutes before the start of the meeting that several presidents sent messages urging Tim to twist the accelerator and rush towards the predetermined coordinates with "boom~".

……

There are no surprises.

Tim was seen wearing a World War II flight jacket, high-top military boots, riding a brand-new World War II BMW R-35 motorcycle, and driving a puff of smoke and dust to the meeting place. The others arrived early, and several presidents who were no worse than Tim had their eyes straightened.

Their incredulous eyes looked back and forth between Tim and themselves.

The president of Facebook, in particular, had a sense of unconcealed impulse as he gazed at Tim's car.

Stopping the car and turning off the engine, Tim jumped off the motorcycle, deliberately suppressed his smug expression, and said in a slightly deep voice, "Sorry I'm late." ”

"I've been thinking a lot on the way here, and I think we have to stick together to have a chance to survive. ”

Several presidents hurriedly stepped forward, talking about holding a meeting, but they couldn't help but grab the motorcycle with both hands.

"That...... I have a question before the meeting. ”

"Where did you get BMW?"
