……

Of course, Tang Huan has enough confidence to let his opponent do the multiple-choice questions by himself. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Regardless of whether it can be determined immediately, the "American-Canadian blackout" was really caused by the "Millennium Bug", and it does not affect its terrifying effect like the end of the world, which is deeply imprinted in everyone's minds.

If you have a kind, you will bet that the "Millennium Worm" will not cause a mess on December 31, 1999 and January 1, 2000!

In fact, many industries, including banking, telecommunications, and electric power, are now beating the drum in their hearts, and at the same time increasing the budget of their own IT departments, they are asking Zheru Software Company, which is working with power management system providers such as General Electric, to help deal with the "U.S. and Canada power outages" to increase their service efforts.

At present, the working status of Zheru Software Company is not an exaggeration to describe it as "overwhelming".

In order to fill the engineer gap in the service department, CEO Brad Swahlberg has been brainily repositioning some employees to relocate as many people as possible, and has even begun to consider outsourcing some of the business.

Under such tremendous pressure, it is absolutely necessary that Zheru Software needs a relatively calm external environment.

So, a somewhat exaggerated scenario appeared.

Compared to a few months ago, there was a joint petition in the IT industry, and now industries outside the IT field are petitioning to suspend the monopoly case of the United States of America v. Zheru Software.

We need Zheru Software to provide the most professional services without distraction in the coming months, instead of being distracted by the monopoly case and making mistakes in the chaos.

The Department of Justice and the Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit are certainly reluctant to accept this petition, which seems to be a copy of the first half of the year.

There are enough exceptions here at Zheru Software, and they can't be endless.

However, they soon realized that the pressure of this petition was even greater than that in the first half of the year.

When industries outside the IT field, such as banking, telecommunications, and electricity, have issued appeals, many companies in the IT field have also joined in

The mystery in this can be said to be something that can only be understood, not spoken.

Gain, for users of computer information management systems, the "millennium bug" is a disaster, but for the IT industry, it is a great business opportunity.

It is obvious that the manufacturers that provide "millennium bug" prevention solutions are by no means limited to Zheru Software Company, and Zheru Software Company cannot eat them all.

This is a big pot of rice with even interests.

Since the 1990s, the industry has spent tens of billions of dollars on the prevention of "millennium bugs", and I don't know how many people have been fed.

When everyone is more and more confident in preventing the "millennium bug", the IT industry will have less oil and water from this aspect.

As a result, now a sudden "USGA power outage" that fell from the sky frightened the courage of the financiers, and they willingly took the initiative to prevent the "millennium bug" again and increase consumption without trying to urge.

In other words, this windfall around the "millennium bug" can be called the last supper of the century, and if you don't make money in vain, you won't have this store if you miss this village.

Yes, the gluttonous feast StudiOS_XP in the first half of the year is quite satisfying, but who would think that they make more money?

In this way, the concern for security outside the IT circle and the enthusiasm for business opportunities within the IT circle merge to produce nuclear fusion that emits unparalleled energy.

Just when all parties were playing for it, another thing happened that had a great impact on the IT circle.

On September 21, 1999, an earthquake with a magnitude of 7.3 on the Richter scale occurred on the island of Treasure Island in Asia, causing tremendous damage, which in turn led to serious damage to the power supply facilities on the island, insufficient power supply, and a complete suspension of industrial and commercial activities on the island, especially the Hsinchu Science and Industrial Park.

You must know that almost ninety percent of the motherboards used in the world's personal computers are supplied by Treasure Island.

Now, Baodao, a key player in the global supply chain, is suddenly unable to supply, and the entire computer industry is naturally in turmoil.

"Americana power outage", "millennium bug", "921 earthquake" ......

One thing after another, one after another, can't help but make all walks of life closely related to computers constantly tense their nerves.

For example, in the original time and space, the obvious decline in chewing gum sales can be reasonably analyzed to be caused by the popularity of Apple's iPhone, and it is not difficult to imagine how many related changes will be directly and indirectly radiated by this series of major events in front of us.

As a result, the Zheru Software Company, which had previously bound the entire IT industry, has once again successfully bound the interests of the two parties inside and outside the IT circle.

Eventually, the White House responded as usual, and U.S. President Bill Clinton met with Attorney General Janet Reynaud and others to coordinate an outcome in which the United States of America v. Zheru Software monopoly case remained suspended.

The media exclaimed that Zheru Software Company is so powerful!

……

Seeing that he could stop for a while, the richest man would no longer stay on the East Coast of the United States, and returned to San Francisco to ask about the "921 earthquake" on Treasure Island by the way.

The natural disaster that hit Treasure Island this time was indeed extraordinary, and it was the most serious since the end of World War II. The earthquake, which lasted for about 102 seconds, made the entire treasure island feel shaking.

In addition to the tragic death of more than 2,400 people and the injury of more than 11,000 people, transportation facilities such as houses, roads and bridges, water conservancy facilities such as weirs and embankments, as well as public facilities such as power equipment, life-sustaining pipelines, industrial facilities, hospital facilities, and schools were all destroyed on a large scale.

Fortunately, the rapid economic development of Baodao in recent years has accumulated a solid family foundation, and it also has enough financial resources to deal with this natural disaster.

However, it is precisely by virtue of this so-called confidence that there have been some dirty things that are not mentioned in disaster relief because of political ~ political reasons.

Tang Huan, who had fallen out with Li for a long time, definitely didn't want to touch his nose, but the condolences still had to be expressed, and this had to be implemented to his confidante.

But it's still the same sentence, the rivers and lakes are deep.

In the same way, the temple is small and the wind is big, and the relationship between politics ~ governance is not generally intertwined and complicated, especially next year, the treasure island will also have a change of power.

You think that if you donate, you will simply give condolences? Maybe you will be put into one camp.

Therefore, Deng Lijun, Lin Fengjiao, Lin Qingfang, and Hu Yinmeng, who usually "see the king and the queen", now rarely sit together and listen to their own men's ideas.

At this stage, there is constant infighting in the ruling camp of Baodao.

Song Chuyu, who didn't listen to the advice of the richest man, kept holding on to Li's thigh, hoping to be the successor, but the real thoughts in the old fox's head are estimated to be the only ones Tang Huan knows best.

The current situation is that Li chose Lian Zhan as his successor and abandoned Song Chuyu, who had a tacit understanding, which caused the other party to be dissatisfied, and then aggravated the split of the entire ruling party.

In 1979, after Deng Lijun encountered a "fake passport" incident, Song Chuyu personally went to the United States to meet this influential Chinese singer, and finally contributed to the solution of the problem.

Because of this relationship, the personal friendship between Deng Lijun and Song Chuyu can be described as intimate.

And under the rules of the game like Treasure Island, the value of a star with huge influence is self-evident for an ambitious politician.

It should be pointed out that Song Chuyu, who has been in the political arena of Baodao for so many years, has successfully created a good image of shrewdness and ability, diligence and love for the people, and the degree of public support at this time is much higher than that of Lian Zhan, who was elected as his successor.

It is not difficult to see why Song Chuyu, who has always refused to listen to the advice of Mr. the richest man and set up another mountain earlier, is rebellious at this time.

I have struggled to such a height according to the rules of the game, but in the end, I still can't compare to the children of the official eunuchs born with a golden spoon, so what do I want you to do in this camp?

Tang Huan looked at it from a condescending perspective, and naturally knew that Li Mou was deliberately forcing Song Chuyu to oppose Song Chuyu and completely bring down the camp he was currently in.

But where do these people in the bureau understand, they are all red-eyed, full of energy, and pinch each other along the path drawn by Li.

In this case, once Deng Lijun goes to Treasure Island, she will definitely be regarded as helping Song Chuyu canvass votes.

Correspondingly, Hu Yinmeng, who has become the right-hand man of Mr. The richest man in the entertainment industry at this time, is not suitable to go back, because she and Lian Zhan both belong to the "second generation of Guan", people in a circle, and they have also been in close contact for a long time.

Replace it with Lin Qingfang, it won't work.

You must know that this big star, who was personally given the Oscar throne by Mr. the richest man, also encountered such troubles when he returned to Treasure Island to promote "The Matrix" as a producer last Christmas and this summer.

Stretch out your hand and don't hit the smiling person, and people won't mess with you, of course, no one dares to mess with the richest man's woman, thinking that because of Deng Lijun, Tang Huan was angry and played with Baodao a lot, which has already scared the courage of all kinds of villains, but only need to enthusiastically invite a meal, which is enough for the media to build momentum.

When these concerns are put on the table one by one, after the analysis is completed, the remaining suitable candidates will be self-evident.

Deng Lijun, Lin Qingfang, and Hu Yinmeng all looked at Lin Fengjiao with a complicated meaning in their eyes.

Everyone was a big star at the beginning, and now the three daughters still have their own brilliant careers, only Lin Fengjiao started to be an "invisible person" without nostalgia, and seems to have lost a lot, but they also live in the "Chang'an City" justifiably, and they take care of the internal affairs of the Tang family without any substantial difference from the main room.

Between gains and losses, it is really impossible to calculate whose choice is more worthwhile, it can only be said that seeking benevolence and seeking wisdom is wise.

Why did the ancients leave the summary sentence of "rare and confused", which describes the world, and cannot be too serious.

The daughters are all mothers who have entered the age of not being confused and have mature thoughts, and they can only stare at Tang Huan with hatred for the initiator, and finally have to listen to the decision of the head of the family.

Thinking that he was confused, the richest man finally looked at Lin Fengjiao with a smile and said, "It seems that you are the only one who is suitable for a trip now." ”

"Okay. Lin Fengjiao was as reasonable as ever, nodded and agreed: "If there is anything that needs attention, you can explain it to me." ”

Deng Lijun, Lin Qingfang, and Hu Yinmeng stood up one after another, and said in unison: "He knows everything, just let him tell you." ”

……

After arranging the private affairs of the family, the richest man has to go back to deal with official business.

The power supply failure caused by the "921 earthquake" in Baodao has affected the operation of the local industrial park, and then caused the shock of the global computer supply chain, which is magnifying.

In fact, as early as July 29 this year, there was a widespread power outage on Treasure Island.

It can be said that the finances of Baodao are not short of money, and they are not stingy in investing in power construction.

However, for a long time, Treasure Island invested more money in the construction of power plants, and neglected the transmission lines needed for power transmission, and when they realized this and wanted to make up for it, the populist forces on Treasure Island were booming.

Due to the safety reasons such as the construction of transmission towers and substations, which will produce electromagnetic radiation hazards, the project is often delayed and not shelved.

The "729 Treasure Island Blackout" is a domino effect caused by the tilting of an iron tower.

As a result, the semiconductor factory in Hsinchu Science and Technology Park, which did not receive a power outage warning, lost more than 200 million yuan, and the stock market also suffered a heavy setback.

Whatever the high-sounding reason, it is a fact that the current electricity supply service of Treasure Island is unsatisfactory.

Coupled with the shock brought by the "921 earthquake" to the global computer supply chain, Tang Huan intends to take the opportunity to further adjust the layout to avoid the possible negative impact of the foreseeable messy political arena on the treasure island in the next few years.

Fangyuan CEO John Chambers has long been prepared for this, and in the report, he mentioned that Fangyuan will be able to complete the withdrawal from the treasure island next year and fully entrust the foundry.

Tang Huan sighed, "At present, the annual shipment of personal computers in the world has reached more than 100 million units, which can be described as a gratifying market, but the new economic cycle is always inevitable, and it is always good to take precautions in terms of cost control!"

John Chambers nodded approvingly, and instead said, "Hewlett-Packard finally parachuted a CEO and chose Carrie Feorena, who was poached by Wall Street at a high price. ”

Mr. The richest man frowned and sighed: "Yes, now there are only a few large companies in Silicon Valley that are not affected by Wall Street, and there are almost only a handful of companies left such as Fang Yuan and Zheru Software, and the pressure is getting bigger and bigger." ”
