Chapter 188: IBM Conspiracy Exposed!?
"Friends from the media, good afternoon. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Today, Alice chose a very special outfit, a thin black sweater and jeans, which she had never seen in the past: "The second piece of news I want to announce on behalf of Microsoft is a conspiracy. ”
It's really not shocking, and the reporters who just thought about what Alice would say stopped filming.
However, Alice didn't care about everyone's thoughts: "It's a conspiracy by IBM against our Microsoft." ”
In two simple sentences, the most initial effect has been played.
If it is said that when Gates was reading from the script before, the silence of the reporters in the audience was busy writing press releases, but when Alice finished saying two sentences, the only situation at the press conference was the stunned look of hundreds of eyes and a dead silence.
"Looking back on the process of Microsoft's preparation for listing, many people in the financial community are very impressed, after all, the relevant news has not stopped. ”
"The whole IPO went on for a while, because Bill had been thinking about going public for a long time, and when I joined Microsoft, the work started earlier. ”
"People have always expressed expectations for Microsoft's listing, and all people in the industry should know this, and I remember that the Wall Street Journal did a questionnaire last month to ask the public about the level of expectation of Microsoft's listing. That's right, the one from the Wall Street Journal with Auroben Doni on his badge, right?"
The beautiful middle school girl named a reporter at the press conference of the listed company, and the man stood up, faced the microphone that was handed over instantly, and said with a wry smile: "That's right, and more than 80% of the people show that they are especially looking forward to the day when Microsoft goes public." ”
"Very well, please be seated. ”
Alice finished briefly and then spoke: "Then the question is, why did Microsoft, which was highly anticipated by the public, not be cared for in the call auction stage on the day of listing, so that the original issue price of $21 fell all the way and had to open at the level of eight cents?"
The girl who spoke spoke quickly, but there was a noticeable pause after not finishing a paragraph. The audience was still quiet, except for three or two cameras working, there was no camera flash, and more than 100 people in the audience were hurrying to write press releases.
"Today is March 12, and the announcement of the press conference is on March 7, a few days before that...... I know what's going on in the industry, gossip about whether I'm alone with that Alice Wang in the entertainment industry, well, it's clear now. ”
The audience resounded with laughter quite cooperatively, yes, there is too much news today, it is obviously a matter of the financial industry, and now the entertainment version can also be inserted. Even if almost all the people on the scene are from the financial industry, but one person and two articles, by the way, why not do it in the entertainment industry?
"In the past few days, the reason why I have not taken the initiative to answer public opinion is not to deliberately avoid suspicion, not to pretend to be mysterious, but to join hands with the FBI to conduct a thorough investigation for the matter of collecting bidding on the day of the first day. ”
It's really a non-stop posture that is not shocking.
Seeing that the reporters who hadn't finished laughing were choked up in an instant, standing in the audience, Gates, Allen, Ballmer and others all had gloating smiles.
As for the journalists......
fbi?
Why did you suddenly get involved in the FBI?
Many people immediately remembered what Alice said when she first came to power, IBM's conspiracy?
It is normal for competitors in the business world to stumble on each other, and even the very existence of commercial espionage is the best proof of this. Most of the reporters present were big-name media visitors, and even if the blue giant did stumble on Microsoft, they wouldn't be surprised.
But in just a few days, why did Microsoft bring the FBI out to assist in the investigation?
This seems to be another detail that can be emphasized, and many people immediately wrote down the three big letters "FBI" in their notebooks and circled them with red pens.
"According to our investigation, the results at that time were like this. ”
Alice first reminded everyone that the main event was coming.
As a result, hundreds of reporters in the audience widened their eyes, and they all wanted to rely on drugs to lift their spirits.
"As the oldest commercial computer manufacturer, IBM's computers could not have been sold to the Nasdaq exchange, which was closed in October last year. And coincidentally, perhaps it was premeditated, when the NASDAQ exchange bought the router of Cisco Systems, that is, the time difference of two months, IBM also bought the router of Cisco. ”
"Order records at the time show that the Nasdaq exchange was a completely normal commercial purchase to upgrade the exchange's current network structure. As for IBM, it's more subtle, they only bought twenty units, and when the new router was just a month old, they bought the old model......"
"Is it because IBM hates new things? Obviously not, in October, the NASDAQ exchange bought Cisco routers in large quantities, at the end of November, Cisco Systems launched a new model product, and in mid-December, IBM put the new model and bought 20 old models, which in itself is a very important thing to ponder. ”
"Following this line of thought, after the investigation of professionals and the cooperation of the FBI administration, we have obtained sufficient evidence to prove that this is a malicious competition behavior of IBM against Microsoft!"
The shocking words kept coming out one after another, and finally some of the hundreds of reporters in the audience couldn't sit still, and immediately stood up and shouted: "Can you provide evidence!?"
Oh God, halal, this is super heavy news!
"Mr. Gates, please provide the evidence!"
"Can Miss Wang be responsible for her own words? Are you really speaking on behalf of Microsoft now?"
"May I ask Miss Wang......"
"Be quiet, please be quiet!"
Seeing that the audience was out of control rhythm, Gates immediately ran up, took the microphone and said: "Please don't be impatient, Alice is indeed speaking on behalf of Microsoft, please ......"
"May I ask why Miss Wang directly threw out the name of the Cisco system? Although you are following this line to investigate, the premise is that you know that the exchange and IBM have transactions with Cisco, right? May I ask you ......?"
"Alice, how did you get a stake in Microsoft!?From the perspective of time, does the launch have anything to do with you!?"
"Alice, you're a writer, you're a director, you're a screenwriter, and now it's ......"
Gates's words were completely drowned in the waves, as if the scene had entered the free questioning session, and almost all the hundreds of reporters were boiling, who cares about his two sentences?
"Please be quiet, so we can't continue...... Alice?"
Alice snatched the microphone away.
Aim your mouth at the microphone.
Take a deep breath.
“shut-uppppppppppppppppppppp!!!!”
Airplanes..............................
The sound at the press conference was groaning.
Harry at the edge of the venue covered his ears in pain, as did many of the people around him.
A flock of birds flew out of the grove in the distance, chirping and flying off into the distance.
Seeing that the scene had successfully quieted down, Alice smiled coldly and added another sentence to the microphone.
"Damn, don't force the old lady to enlarge her moves. ”
Well, that's pretty much it.
Seeing that everyone was quiet, Gates stepped down neatly, leaving Alice to continue to host the press conference.
"Of course there is evidence, but it is not going to be presented at a press conference, but I can tell you a little bit about the process. ”
Giving the audience a respite, Alice said: "IBM has no shortage of programmers, who have successfully hacked directly from IBM's headquarters in Ackmon, New York, to the NASDAQ exchange in Washington, D.C., through some extraordinary means, using Cisco's routers as a medium, to control Microsoft's call auction data before the market opens!"
If the sentence just now ended, it caused an uproar in the audience.
After this sentence ended, the audience was dead silent again.
Alice knew that these reporters would not be able to digest this kind of thing for a while, so she gave more than ten seconds to ease up.
"That's why the FBI stepped in, and based on some of the evidence we submitted, it is clear that IBM has been involved in a crime, and it is by no means as simple as an ordinary single criminal act. After the FBI official intervened and the exchange cooperated, the follow-up evidence obtained was the above news. ”
"This is a very dangerous behavior!"
"The point is that Microsoft's call auction has been modified at all!"
"It's that IBM has the ability to hack into the NASDAQ exchange and modify the stock market data, and they've already done that!"
"Imagine that today, they invaded the NASDAQ, so what about tomorrow!?"
"New York!"
"Los Angeles!"
"London Stock Exchange!"
"And Japan, South Korea, and Hong Kong!"
"There will be countless times at one time, if it weren't for our listing, if I hadn't discovered their intrusions, global finance would have been controlled by IBM!"
"This is simply the germ of an unprecedented crime!"
The high-pitched speeches made countless reporters in the audience even more excited, and how many people were even blushing and thick-necked!
After a little breath, Alice's voice softened a lot: "Microsoft will soon start a lawsuit against IBM for this incident, and the FBI will also punish the company, and the above is the second news." Now enter the free Q&A on the spot, and ask whatever you want to ask. ”
Now, Alice offered to ask the reporters to answer questions freely, but everyone was dumb.
There was a dead silence.
There is so much shocking news that it is dizzying.
Finally, it was a reporter from the Los Angeles Times who spoke tremblingly.
"Miss Alice, how did you find out about the Cisco router they bought?"
Alice grinned.
"Oh, well, of course, because I'm the boss of Cisco!" )
