"I'm not going to Thailand, I'm not going to go today, I'm not going tomorrow! I'm not going to pay a penny of the kidnappers' ransom, isn't the U.S. government always advocating not to compromise with criminals? Although I'm not an American citizen, I support this approach, and I'm going to fight them to the end! Okay, my people are here, and I'll thank you for your help in this matter another day." Hong Tao was about to argue with the chief, when he suddenly saw Singh walking into the hall of the police station with several men, and immediately ended the conversation with the chief, opened the door and walked out.

Hong Tao did keep his promise, and honestly stayed in an office of the police station, and lunch was ordered for takeout. The stay was an afternoon, during which he returned numerous phone calls, chatted with a group of private lawyers who had come with Mr. Singh, and turned on his computer when they left. Now not only TV news, but also major newspapers are broadcasting and publishing their own news, and even the Internet is full of headlines such as kidnapping cases and rat superman can fly.

Yahoo's homepage is even more powerful, with the entire page replaced with photos of Hong Tao and Hong Shan holding hands on a sailboat and playing on the beach, as a sign of solidarity with the company's majority shareholder, and anyone who uses Yahoo's website around the world will immediately learn about the events and how they have developed since then in various languages. Yahoo also paid the price, its servers crashed twice in those few hours, for no other reason than because of too many visits and jams.

In addition to Yahoo, Hong Tao's personal homepage is also difficult to open, because it has a lot of photos of Hong Tao flying in a flying squirrel suit, and it turns out to be finished in less than an hour. The current situation is that Hong Tao has become the biggest attraction on the Internet today. The older people were discussing the kidnapping and wondering what Mr. Hong would announce at the evening press conference, while the sporty, adventurous young man was talking about how Mr. Hong got into the air. That dress becomes the key. It can blind girls, but it can't cover others. Soon someone raised the crux of the problem, the mouse superman can fly, the main thing is that he wears a different dress, as for what is magical about this dress, everyone is divided and noisy.

In the evening, the Waldorf Astoria Hotel looks even more splendid, and the floor lamps reflect the door of the hotel in golden yellow, which looks so rich. But today it is overwhelmed by noisy crowds. In addition to the large number of journalists, thousands of New Yorkers gathered here, holding signs and slogans of all kinds, shouting various slogans. They came to support Hong Tao, and by the way, they also watched the excitement and blocked both streets. The New York police had to set up a quarantine area here to separate citizens from journalists who came to attend the press conference, and by the way, to prevent criminals from taking advantage of the fire to loot.

Just after 6:40, the barricade at the street corner was suddenly opened. A black Chevrolet full-size SUV slowly drove in, and the crowd immediately became noisy, many people tried to lean forward, and the police officers had to form a human wall holding hands. Push it out. The reporters in the quarantine zone were much freer, and they basically did not enter the banquet hall on the second floor of the hotel, but waited at the door. After seeing this familiar car. Immediately, it was like a charge, carrying equipment and lights. Rush up, and no one will let anyone. Two female reporters had their high heels stepped on. The few policemen who came to try to stop were instantly drowned in these crazy groups of reporters, and the bubbles did not bubble.

"Everyone, don't be impatient, we are all decent people, there is no need to make things so unseemly. Since it's a press conference, it's definitely to let everyone hear every word I say, if you don't have an opinion, shouldn't you go and help the two colleagues who were injured by you, and by the way, liberate the police officers and gentlemen, they are not happy to have close contact with you. Come on, come on, let's line up in the form, let's enter together, enter together...... Fuck me! I'm going to tell you that you're shameless, aren't you? Believe it or not, I'm going to cripple you and then I won't give you money for medical treatment!

At this time, the car door opened, and a man with sunglasses came out of it, it was Hong Tao. He was holding a hand-held megaphone in his hand, obviously prepared, sunglasses to block flashlights, and a megaphone to save his voice. It's a pity that there are not long eyes everywhere you go, Hong Tao said so politely, and some people squeezed forward, and almost clubbed a broken microphone into Hong Tao's mouth. As a result, Hong Tao immediately turned his face, grabbed the middle-aged male reporter, carried him to the back of the car like a chicken, and then snatched his microphone, threw it to the ground, and stomped twice, then clapped his hands and walked to the door of the hotel with the megaphone, and directed hundreds of reporters to line up like no one.

"I've opened my eyes, it's usually reporters who torture the interviewed, but it's the other way around, those usually uncrowned kings have all become kindergarten children, do you think he really has any magic?" At this time, in the corner of the large banquet hall on the second floor of the hotel, there were two people standing, one of them was Hong Tao's acquaintance, that Bill Gates, and the other also wore a pair of glasses, and a bit of a hooked nose, and was about the same age as Bill. If people in later generations see him, especially young people, they may not recognize Bill Gates, the symbol of Apple, Jobs!

"You say he's going to invest in Apple? As far as I know, hasn't his investment project always been run by two women? He's probably a much better way to make news than an investment vision. Jobs looked out the window at the young man with a megaphone and dressed like an overseer on a Southeast Asian plantation, and it was not normal for him not to say something sarcastic.

"You pay too much attention to technology, as early as a few years ago, he predicted that Microsoft is going to get to this point, and he also gave me an idea, do you want to hear what the idea is? He said let me support your Apple, don't let your company die, but also don't let you live happily, so as long as your operating system exists, Microsoft will not be 100% monopolized, and there will be a chance to negotiate terms with the government, and it is very likely that it will not be dismantled like Boeing. As for the two women you mentioned, I have also been in contact with them, and their level can't even catch up with my secretary, if they were really in charge of Crystal Orchid Capital, I'm afraid it would have gone bankrupt long ago. Bill has harassed and paid attention to Hong Tao a lot in recent years, especially after Yahoo went public, and he found that Hong Tao suddenly became less easy to deal with. He couldn't be scared of the original coercion method, so Hong Tao became his friend again, and the two sides not only cooperated more closely on the USB system, but also cooperated closely in several acquisitions and investment activities.

"Then it's even more unlikely that he will take the money that should have been invested by you into his arms, is there any deal between the two of you?" Jobs and Bill are a happy couple, since ten years ago they have been constantly arguing and competing, but when Jobs returned to the helm of Apple, the first person he found to finance was Bill.

"I would love to have a deal with him, but he is very cunning and he refuses anything that can control him. But he seems to be interested in your company, so I don't know why he thinks your perfectionist approach will eventually succeed?"

"Then I'd love to talk to him, but isn't it a bit inappropriate for us to choose such a time to be here? He's dealing with family issues at the moment, and his son is still uncertain at the hands of the kidnappers, so I don't have time to talk about any investments. Jobs watched as the reporters downstairs had begun to stream in, and returned to his seat in the corner.

"It's hard for you to see him at any other time, do you know what he's been doing lately? He and Boeing are working on the Sea Launch Platform project, and the person in charge is Levin! It is said that he bought a retired aircraft carrier from the former Soviet Navy in Ukraine and sent it to Scotland to be converted into a private yacht. You saw it today, he's got another flying thing, and God knows what he's going to do tomorrow! God knows how long he'll live! So let's try our luck, he's an easy guy to talk to, maybe we'll talk to you. And I'd love to know what he's going to say in a moment, can you guess?" Bill knew more about Hong Tao, but he was still curious about Hong Tao.

"He's not going to say he doesn't want this son, is he's going to have a lot of children, but he's going to be notorious for doing so, and parents all over the world will see him as an outlier, including me." Jobs watched the excited reporters hula rush in to grab the front seats, and quickly leaned back against the curtains. It's a pity that those reporters don't have time to see who the two people huddled in the corner are, and grabbing a good position is the top priority at the moment.

Soon, the small podium temporarily arranged at the end of the banquet hall was illuminated by various lights, and on the side of the small podium, Hong Tao was receiving make-up from two makeup artists. It's not that he's stinky, but those photojournalists swear that it would be better to shoot with a little makeup, otherwise the whole person will be as dull as if he has a serious illness, and the more intense the lighting, the more he needs to put on makeup to be on camera. Hong Tao has always respected the opinions of professionals, especially the aspects he doesn't know very well, so he decided to make himself look more energetic, which complements what he will say in a moment.
