Volume II, 1999, Chapter 91, Nortel and Microsoft

Back on the corner.

The black man looked at Hartman, who was holding a pistol, and asked, "Did you do that?"

Hartman was speechless and said, "Are you blind or deaf? Did I shoot you don't know? Besides, you think I am James Bond?"

Hartman's pulling out the gun was just a knee-jerk reaction, and he knew it was pointless when he pulled out the gun. If he could really shoot down a model of a diving plane with a pistol from a few dozen meters away, he would have left the FBI and joined the IPSC long ago.

"So you're overly nervous?"

The black man took a bite of the hot dog and said, "It's just a model airplane." ”

"What if there's a bomb on it?"

"It's not funny, plane bombs, haha!"

The black man laughed exaggeratedly.

"If there can be car bombs, why can't there be aircraft bombs?"

Hartman said, glancing at the hot dog that had fallen to the ground, putting the gun into his arms, and saying, "Let's go, it looks like I'm going to have lunch somewhere else." ”

"Giving up surveillance?"

"Let's talk about it. Hartman said: "My judgment has gone wrong, the elder Greenberg has no intention of meeting the Chinese boy, and we may not be able to get rid of this trouble." ”

"After all, he's just a boy, so I wouldn't take him seriously. The black man looked at the target crowd and smacked his lips: "Speaking of which, the girl next to him is really powerful, is she a ninja?"

"There are ninjas in Japan, stupid!"

……

"Chinese Kung Fu! That's Chinese Kung Fu, right?"

Paris excitedly put her arm around Zhao's shoulder, kissed her on the cheek, and exclaimed, "Oh my God, how did you do that?"

Just now, when everyone was at a loss, Zhao suddenly made a move.

She snatched Heim's phone from her hand and threw it at the swooping model airplane.

The phone hit the plane accurately, and although it failed to shoot it down, it also changed the direction of the latter's flight, which also allowed Ariel to escape.

"Thank you, thank you......"

Mrs. Karen had tears in her eyes, held Zhao's hands with both hands, and thanked her again and again.

As can be seen from the wreckage of the plane, it is in good condition, with a wingspan of at least more than three feet, a sharp nose, and a lot of metal materials should have been used to look at the debris.

If the direction of its flight does not change, it will directly hit Ariel's face, and if this happens, not to mention disfigurement, there is even a high probability that it will be life-threatening!

Mrs. Karen couldn't imagine how hard the family would be hit if this kind of thing really happened, and it was needless to say how grateful Zhao was.

"Okay, it's okay, you should comfort her first......"

Zhao comforted Mrs. Karen and pointed at Ariel.

The little girl seemed stunned and stood still in place.

Seeing this, Mrs. Karen thanked Zhao again, and then ran over quickly, holding her little daughter in her arms.

……

With Mrs. Karen's comfort, the girl finally came to her senses.

Mrs. Karen took Ariel's hand and walked up to Zhao.

"Thank you for saving me. ”

Ariel forgot his fear, looked at Zhao with a curious expression, and asked, "Are you an angel?"

"I'm not ......"

Before Zhao could finish his words, he was interrupted by Paris.

"No, of course you are!"

Paris said excitedly to everyone: "You don't know, Zhao is really amazing, ...... last night"

Paris told her what had happened to her last night.

“…… In short, she saved two women in two days in a row!"

The two women, obviously referring to herself and Ariel, this sentence is a problem, after all, Ariel is still a girl, not a woman. But everyone did not dwell on this, but showed expressions of amazement.

Nico pointed at Mrs. Karen, "Not two, it should be three." ”

"Yes, you not only saved Ariel, but you saved my life! God, I

I can't imagine ......."

Mrs. Karen thought of what had just happened, and she was afraid for a while, and her eyes turned red again.

……

"Your girlfriend is amazing!"

Heim gave Li Yuan a thumbs up.

Mark was also full of gratitude, knowing that his affection for his little sister was no less than that of his mother, he didn't know what to say under the emotional turmoil, and when he heard Haim's words, he subconsciously said: "Lee is also amazing." ”

"Yes, my Chinese friend is surrounded by amazing people. Heim winked his eyebrows, and by implication, he and Mark were just as remarkable.

Of course, this was true, but Haim said it only to set the mood, and both the speaker and the listener laughed.

……

A sudden event brought the guests closer together.

However, the incident did not end there.

Just as the man was laughing and the woman was crying, a man with glasses with a chicken nest hair hurriedly ran over.

The visitor was wearing a wide-plaid shirt with the collar ripped open and the hem scattered outside, looking very embarrassed.

He first glanced at the model airplane that had broken to pieces, then looked at the women gathered together, and asked nervously, "I'm sorry, no one was hurt, right?"

Seeing the remote control of the plane in the hand of the man with glasses, you don't have to guess to know that he is the culprit.

Mrs. Karen minded, but with her character, she couldn't say anything too ugly, just turned her back and didn't look at the other party.

Paris was not so polite.

"How did you do that? Do you know how dangerous it was just now? If it weren't for Zhao Zai, she would have been a corpse by now!"

Paris said, gesturing at Ariel.

The man with glasses was so frightened that he almost jumped up, and said repeatedly: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry......"

Probably the word "corpse" irritated Mrs. Karen, who turned around and said sternly, "What's the use of you saying sorry now, if...... I mean, if you don't think about the consequences?"

Mrs. Karen shouted incoherently, and seeing that the man with glasses was very sincere, her heart softened, and she said, "Forget it, please learn a lesson in the future, and don't let this happen again." ”

"Thank you, ma'am, I'm so sorry for what I did, I don't think it will ever happen again......"

The man with glasses said, and couldn't help but look at the wreckage of the plane, and the corners of his eyes twitched.

There really was no chance of happening.

This model airplane was made by him with all the money he earned from his part-time job, and now there is no room for rescue, so it can be said that all the money has been wasted. And that's not all, the point is that the plane didn't hurt anyone, but it hurt the car parked next to it.

It was a flagship Lexus sedan, the side of the car had a shattered mirror, cracks all over the windowpane, and a large piece of the body that had not been scratched but also deflated...... All in all, it can only be described as miserable.

Lexus is a sub-brand of Toyota.

When it comes to Toyota, many people's first reaction is that Japanese cars, cheap at least not luxury cars.

But that's not the case with Lexus.

In 1989, Lexus was born, and two years later, it became the best-selling imported luxury car brand in the United States, and after less than a decade, it has now replaced Cadillac as the best-selling luxury car in North America.

Yes, although it was later ousted from the throne by Mercedes and BMW, at the turn of the century, Lexus was the undisputed king of American luxury cars......

The biggest feature of luxury cars is that they are expensive.

The thought of compensating the owner for the loss of the car made the man with glasses feel devastated.

To be honest, I really don't know whether to say lucky or unfortunate with this result.

……

"Excuse me, do you know the owner of this car?"

The man in glasses asked, pointing to the Lexus.

"Recognize. Haim glanced at the license plate, answered the question, and asked, "You're not a local."

?”

"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Harrisheimer and I'm a student at Mersey College (Mercy-College). ”

"You're Canadian?"

"Yes, if it's convenient, can you borrow your phone? I'd like to call the owner. ”

"Unfortunately, in order to stop your plane, my phone was broken, and in fact you also need to compensate for my phone. ”

“……”

……

When Haim was "teasing" Harris, Li Yuan and Mark came to Zhao's side.

Li Yuan first comforted Mrs. Karen, and then asked Chen Chen: "I remember you told me when you came that the university in Baiyuan City is called Pace University?"

Mark had just heard the conversation between Haim and Harris, and knew why Li Yuan was asking, and explained: "There is not only one university in White Plains City, but Mersey University is in the village of Dobbs Ferry. ”

What is this? Village-run universities?

Well, even though the village is located around New York, it still feels weird enough.

Mark didn't know what Li Yuan was thinking, and said to himself: "The teaching level of Pace University is not bad, I sometimes sneak in to listen to lectures, speaking of which, I seem to have seen that boy......"

"Mark, you're skipping school again?"

Mrs. Karen grabbed Mark's sore foot and glared.

Mark craned his neck and whispered, "But I've mastered all the middle school lessons, and it's too boring to stay in school." ”

……

As he spoke, Heim walked over with a dejected Harris.

"What do you mean?" Li Yuan glanced at Haim.

"Can I borrow your phone?" Harris requested.

Li Yuan nodded and handed him the phone.

"Thank you. ”

Harris did not evade, so he stood where he was and called the car owner, and after the call, he returned the phone to Li Yuan, and said to Haim: "Please tell me the phone number, and I will compensate you for your loss as soon as possible." ”

Haim gave Harris the number, and Harris then asked Mrs. Karen's phone number, saying that she would come to the door to apologize.

……

Harris stayed where he was and waited for the owner, while Li Yuan and the others continued to the restaurant.

Paris couldn't help but say, "That Harris is so powerful, I remember the phone number after listening to it once." ”

Mark disagreed: "Harris is very good at math, so it's not strange to remember a cell phone number. ”

Li Yuan asked, "He studied mathematics?"

"No, he studied computer programming. ”

"Programming?" Heim said, looking back, "I thought he studied aerodynamics." ”

"Mersey University doesn't have aerodynamics, and I have the impression that he studied programming, and he was said to be at a very high level. ”

"I don't see how good he is. Heim laughed, "But thanks to him, I'm going to change my phone again." ”

……

When Heim left, he didn't forget to take the broken phone with him, not to keep it as a souvenir, but to take out the phone card when he got to the restaurant.

Li Yuan wanted to come over to take a look and found that it was a brand he had never heard of.

nortel? I didn't pay attention to it and thought it was Nokia.

Li Yuan asked.

"Nortel is Canada's largest telecommunications company with the world's largest market share in fiber optic networks, twice as much as Lucent in second place," Heim said. In addition, it is also a frontrunner in the telecommunications industry, higher than Ericsson and Nokia......"

Well, I thought it was a copycat brand, but I didn't expect it to be a leader in the industry.

"Nortel's development of the East Asian market is mainly focused on the infrastructure sector, and it is not surprising that you don't know. "As far as I know, your country's wireless network and the Internet are the Nortel solution. In addition, although its performance in the mobile phone market is average, it has a large number of patented technologies in its hands, and Microsoft has been seeking cooperation with it, but it seems that it is not going well......

Li Yuan was stunned: "Microsoft is ready to make a mobile phone?"
