Chapter 1068: The terrifying mega power outage

……

In fact, no matter how the richest man behaves, it doesn't matter if he is worried about the world, the media is concerned about whether Zheru Software Company has really found another excuse for himself to delay the lawsuit. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The previous conspiracy, that is, StudiOS_XP kidnapped the entire IT industry in a dignified manner, and forcefully forced the United States of America v. Zheru Software Inc. monopoly case, pressed the pause button, which really amazed onlookers.

Now, the time has come to the second half of the year, and according to the agreement, it is time for the show to start again.

Zheru Software did not want this pause button to pop up, which was foreseeable early on, but the outside world does not know exactly how to do it.

Just now, Tang Huan revealed the answer with emotion, and the significance lies in the fact that it was authoritatively determined that Zheru Software Company made a move.

Journalists whose curiosity was satisfied also had to be convinced, and this excuse was really weighty.

I just don't know if the Ministry of Justice will be able to do what it wants.

However, isn't it in this kind of game that the excitement is there!

After the reporters were pacified, the opening ceremony of the Olympia World Tower returned to the normal track.

The richest man who can work for the driver, together with the first lady of the United States, Silary Clinton and other top celebrities in the United States, congratulated on the spot, this skyscraper, naturally has something extraordinary.

First, Christina, the female ship king, spent less than $60 million to buy this piece of land, which is located in a somewhat special location, just opposite the United Nations headquarters.

Second, at 262 meters in height and costing $300 million, the Olympia World Tower is the world's tallest skyscraper this century, a record that could hold for at least four to five years.

Obviously, such a tall skyscraper not only directly overlooks the United Nations headquarters opposite, but also in New York, where there are many high-rise buildings, so that it can see all the mountains at a glance.

Third, when it comes to the positioning of the Olympia World Tower for the social elite, the price from $28 million to $58 million clearly sends a signal that if you don't have money, don't worry about squeezing here.

Originally, Telangpu, who was in charge of the construction of the project, took the initiative to ask Christina, the female ship king: I not only have first-class skills in building houses, but also have superb skills in selling houses, and my name is the golden sign of the real estate industry. You know, all the properties that bear the name of Telangpu make a lot of money.

As a result, Christina, the female ship king, didn't eat this at all: If you want to add money, you can just say it! In my daughter's name, it is called Athena World Building, which is better than the Longpu World Building.

In the past few years of cooperation, he has been used to the female ship king Christina, so he calmly said: Then wait until necessary, and then talk about the title authorization of Telangpu.

The subtext in this is: without my help, the two units on the top two floors that cost as much as $58 million are estimated to be the only ones you and Tang personally took action, and one person bought one set and digested it.

But after watching the lineup of today's attendees, Telangpu understood: he has no play, at least the two most expensive units have already been settled.

Not to mention that Telangpu is convinced, even the richest man is very attentive to the representatives of all kinds of Middle Eastern royal families, especially to the members of the Saudi Arabian royal family, and he almost said: As long as you are willing to buy, we will give it a discount!

In the next day, the media reported on the grand occasion of the Olympia World Tower, and paid special attention to the residents who came from a large number of places.

"The world's tallest residence, gathering the richest people in the world" Yunyun, spending money on advertising, is this effect.

However, the more the husband-and-wife shop of the richest man and the female ship king prospered, the more intriguing the reopened monopoly case of the United States of America v. Zheru Software Company.

The New York Times ran a questionable headline: "Zheru Software's Next Straw, the "Millennium Bug"?"

The Wall Street Journal also analyzed that global IT users have invested at least tens of billions of dollars in the response to the "millennium bug", and as the two millennium approaches, the big test time is finally coming. It is reasonable for Zheru Software to use this as an excuse to intercede for itself, but I am afraid that the Ministry of Justice is not willing to continue to drag it out. After all, next year is the year of the US election, and once such a complex lawsuit is mixed with the election, the outcome is really unpredictable.

A media like the New York Post, which has been a professional black Tang for more than ten years, must not have bothered to guarantee any neutral and serious reporting stance, and as always, directly mocked: "It can be seen that Tang wishes that the turn of the century would be the end of the world, so that Zheru Software Company has even more reason to be exempted by virtue of its contribution to saving mankind." ”

Of course, the "New York Daily News" can't allow the rivals to dominate the way~ Sao, and immediately sarcastically said: "You have to fend for yourself, when the end of the world comes, Tang and Zheru Software Company can lend a helping hand to you regardless of previous suspicions." ”

The New York Post gloated nonchalantly: "Then too, the opportunity for Tang and Zheru Software Company to be the saviors will really appear." ”

Both of them are in the White House press briefing room, and the mainstream media is so unscrupulous that you spit on each other without discipline, and there is no decency at all, anyway, the more this happens, the more topics there are, and then the sales will increase dramatically.

The world is complicated.

Seeing the New York Post and the New York Daily News talking serious nonsense about the end of the world and Mr. the richest man, some people couldn't bear to join in.

Many people have raised their voices and predicted that the large number of computer crashes and failures caused by the "millennium bug" problem will cause a major disaster in the world and eventually lead to the cessation of social function.

Even Li Xiting, an American evangelical Christian pastor, writer, and orator, pointed out that the scenes in the "Lost in the Doomsday" series of novels that he had written since 1995 could really have happened at the turn of the century.

In fact, although 2000 is not as big as the gimmick of 2012, where the Mayan doomsday prophecy is located, various doomsday prophecies are still in full swing.

There are hidden ulterior intentions in this, and there are also commercial interests that are on the surface.

Hollywood, for example, has taken the opportunity to launch disaster movies such as "The End of the World", "Heaven and Earth Collide", and "Godzilla" to consume people's obsession with the theme of the end of the world.

However, such a topic is also a fun, and in 1999 alone, that is, this year, the number of doomsday predictions that appeared in the newspapers around the world cannot be counted on one hand, but the result is not that the world is peaceful.

Human society is ultimately dominated by science.

Soon after, news broke that the monopoly case of the United States of America v. Zheru Software was restarted and will be heard again on September 9.

Judging from the progress made so far, if nothing else, Zheru Software will be convicted of monopoly establishment in about a month.

The New York Post pointed out with the utmost derirrium that Tang and Zheru Software Company wanted to use the "millennium bug" as an excuse to delay the monopoly case of the United States of America v. Zheru Software Company again.

According to the meaning of the "millennium bug", the most likely date of the software system malfunctioning, in order of the closest to us, is: September 9, 1999, December 31, 1999, January 1, 2000, February 28, 2000, and February 29, 2000.

So, here's the problem.

Is it just a simple coincidence that the United States of America v. Zheru Software Inc. monopoly case was reopened on September 9?

Not to mention, there are indeed many people who don't know that there are so many hidden doorways in such a small detail as the court time.

On September 9, the first point in time when the "millennium bug" is most likely to break out, the monopoly case of the United States of America v. Zheru Software Company was reopened.

This is no less than a resounding slap in the face to Zheru Software, which tried to use the "millennium bug" as a reason to intercede to once again suspend the monopoly case of the United States of America v. Zheru Software Company.

The people above are particular about doing things, and everything is in plain sight!

From this meaningful hint alone, it is not difficult to see that the result of Zheru Software Company being ruled to be a monopoly cannot escape!

What could be more action-consuming?

Media reporters with a keen sense of smell hurriedly went around again to chase and intercept the richest man who was sure to be still on the East Coast of the United States.

……

At this time, Tang Huan was "watering and fertilizing" the little seedling of Zheru Cloud Computing Service Company.

Although it has not been officially launched for a long time, cloud computing services are being widely accepted in the industry at a rapid pace.

For example, ECC, founded in 1979 and headquartered in Hopkinton, Massachusetts, decided to move closer to this field.

If a market wants to become bigger, it must attract people as much as possible, so as to establish a community of interests.

Just like Zheru Software Company, which is mired in the vortex of anti-monopoly, the reason why the Ministry of Justice has been gnawing for so long and still can't bite off it is because of the intricate interests involved behind it.

In order to make the cake of cloud computing services bigger, it is indispensable to hold necessary industry seminars and discuss the big plan together. And this event was ingeniously arranged at the World Trade Center in New York.

The reason why we chose this place is because the companies that live here are themselves customers with great potential for cloud computing services. This is from Oracle, BEA Systems Co., Ltd. and other heavyweight IT manufacturers, have also set up offices here, we can see how huge the IT consumption power is.

Of course, none of the members of the Tang IT Kingdom have followed suit to set up a foothold here.

When Tang Huan finished attending the event and walked out of the World Trade Center in New York, the reporters who were waiting for him immediately rushed up and asked almost in unison: "Tang, the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit of the District of Columbia did not accept and continue to suspend the monopoly case of the United States of America v. Zheru Software, so that Zheru Software can be more focused on assisting the industry to prevent the 'millennium bug'." What do you think about that?"

The richest man shrugged his shoulders helplessly, "I don't know what to say except to express regret." ”

The reporters immediately craned their necks and asked: "September 9 is the first point in time when the 'Millennium Bug' may break out, and the United States of America v. Zheru Software Co., Ltd. monopoly case happened to be reopened on this day.

Looking at the reporters who were waiting to be fed, Tang Huan smiled bitterly and said: "What do you want me to express? Filled with righteous indignation at this ironic decision? Looking forward to the real outbreak of the 'Millennium Bug' on September 9?"

"Probably, the Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit held that the industry's prevention of the 'millennium bug' is sufficient and there is no need to give Zheru Software time to further enhance the level of prevention. ”

"In fact, I also believe that the industry's preparedness to guard against the 'millennium bug' is sufficient to ensure that it can survive September 9, 1999, or even December 31, 1999 and January 1, 2000 safely, but on February 28, 2000 and February 29, 2000, it is easier for people who have already passed the three hurdles to be slackened, and thus more likely to be caught off guard. ”

Seeing that Mr. the richest man answered without a trace of fireworks, the reporters who came to dig up the fierce information couldn't help but be disappointed.

Seeing that the boss was very embarrassed to deal with the group of reporters, the security assistants were no longer polite, separated the crowd, and opened the way forward.

Walking to the car, Tang Huan stopped, looked up at the incomparably magnificent New York World Trade Center with an expressionless face, and sneered secretly: "I have participated in all the IT buildings around the world, and naturally I know that where it is weak, it can be gently pushed down with just one finger." It's time to show the ignorant what a real hacker war looks like. ”

……

Although the reporters didn't dig up the kind of material they expected, that doesn't mean they can't hype.

Soon, Mr. the richest man's low-key statement was expressed as a confession.

Tang Huan's attendance at the seminar on cloud computing services also seems to confirm that the Silicon Valley leader is planning for the worst.

……

Fast forward to September 9, 1999, when the United States of America v. Zheru Software Inc. monopoly case was heard again, and various media gathered in the Federal Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia.

A powerful faction like CNN simply broadcasts it live. And many public areas such as Rockefeller Center also switch some TV screens to the corresponding channels.

I saw a reporter from CNN, standing at the door of the Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia for the Federal Circuit, and said with a serious face: "It's 9 a.m. on September 9, 1999, and in a few minutes, the United States of America v. Zheru Software Inc. monopoly case will be heard again after a lapse of several months......

At this time, there was a sudden noise from the Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, and many people were evacuated in a hurry, and the reporters of the cable news network, although very professional, were also caught off guard and squeezed.

The reporter adjusted the microphone and dutifully continued: "I just got a message here that there was a sudden power outage in the Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit building. Studio, did you hear my report......?

Reporters who couldn't get feedback were shocked by the louder noise, and looked around, feeling as if the whole city had been drained of life!

Unbeknownst to the journalist, the CNN signal was actually cut off.

However, for an important institution like this, of course, there will be backup power, and it will not be long before normal operation is restored.

It's just that the content of the news has changed!

Widespread power outages in the northeastern United States, as well as in eastern Canada.

People who have long relied heavily on the conveniences of modern life are exclaiming in panic: What's the matter, is it the end of the world, or has it been a terrorist attack?
