Thank you to the book friends who voted for the monthly ticket, bow! Thank you to the book friends who voted for the full score, bow! Anyway, I'm bankrupt...... Really broke...... Recently, I received three text messages in a row - my lovely, dear, dear and friendly classmates have given birth, how can this Nima give birth to a child! Can you be born separately? I'm running out of money to buy rice...... Well, it's just a matter of losing weight, eating one meal a day, right? Actually...... I don't need to lose weight at all! Whining...... οΌ
In Taurus's surprised eyes, Feng Xiaotian began to type on the computer, and after less than ten minutes, he turned his head and asked, "What's your phone number?" β
Although Taurus felt strange when he heard this, he still reported his number, and then Feng Xiaotian was busy again, and when he got it right, he then asked, "What is the phone number you want to call?" β
Hearing this, Taurus said strangely: "Why are you asking this?" Don't...... Do you want to make a call from your computer? β
Feng Xiaotian nodded with a smile when he heard this: "Of course you can, you can just report the number to me." β
Taurus was extremely shocked when he heard this, and he had the impression that the computer could only be used for Internet access or office work at most, and he could use it to make phone calls...... That's, isn't it?
Feng Xiaotian saw that the golden bull was stunned and didn't speak, so he urged again: "What's so surprising about this, don't be stunned, okay?" β
Hearing this, Taurus came back to his senses, and he directly reported the phone number he wanted to call. Then staring at the computer tightly, he wanted to see how Feng Xiaotian operated.
Feng Xiaotian typed the phone number on the keyboard and then clicked on the "dial" option with the mouse. A few seconds later, there was a "beep" sound in the computer speaker, and Taurus was familiar with this sound - it was actually a busy tone before the phone was connected!
Taurus was a little dumbfounded at the moment, although he knew that Feng Xiaotian was a hacker, but he didn't expect Feng Xiaotian to be so powerful, using the computer to make calls...... God, I'm not hallucinating, am I?
Feng Xiaotian turned his head and said to the sluggish Taurus, "Don't be stunned. After the phone is connected, you are responsible for contacting people, and we communicate with each other through pen and paper, otherwise I am worried that others will have concerns. β
Hearing this, Taurus nodded. Feng Xiaotian said very reasonably, these people are very vigilant, they are not old customers, they won't even answer the phone. If they hear that there are other people next to them. I'm afraid that I will turn off the phone immediately, and it will be impossible to contact them in the future.
Feng Xiaotian took the pen and paper on the table, and then waited for the phone to connect, and after about twenty seconds, the phone was finally connected, and a very strange voice came from the other end of the phone, this person was in English: "Please report your code name first." β
Feng Xiaotian heard this voice and thought: Yo, I actually used a voice-changing device. Anyway, these guys are careful.
Taurus said to the computer, "I am an Avenger. β
The other party was silent for a moment when he heard this, and then said, "What do you need?" β
Taurus said bluntly: "I want to buy some equipment." For example, particle accelerators, polymer aggregators, supercomputers, and so on. β
The other party was a little surprised when he heard this: "You...... Are you sure you want to buy these things? β
The golden bull did not hesitate to say, "Yes, can you quote a price?" β
The other party was silent for a long time when he heard this, and then said: "A particle accelerator costs $3 billion, a polymer aggregator costs $1.8 billion, the computing speed of supercomputers varies according to the price, the lowest computing speed reaches 10 million dollars per second, and for every ten times the increase in computing speed, the price will also increase tenfold accordinglyββ"
Feng Xiaotian was still looking forward to it, but when he heard this, he finally couldn't help it, only to see him slap the table and say, "I'm XXXXX!" You think you're selling gold! Even gold isn't that expensive! Three billion dollars for a particle accelerator? Do you multiply the original price by three to sell it? Does a polymer polymerizer cost $1.8 billion? And - how dare you sell a computer that can be computed 10 million times for 100 million dollars? Are you! It's all in my head! β
Feng Xiaotian was very angry at the moment, he had a feeling of being teased, he asked Dai Fei'er in the real room of New York University, and Dai Fei'er told him that the price of a particle accelerator was about 1.2 billion US dollars, and from here you can see the huge difference in price, a supercomputer - and it is still the lowest supercomputer, these people actually dare to sell 100 million US dollars, this price can buy at least ten units in the international market! Anyway, you really think that the black market can kill people at willβno! This is not called slaughtering, this is called fooling fools!
Taurus didn't expect Feng Xiaotian to be so angry, hasn't this young man always been very kind? Why do you become so rude when you hear the quote? Those national scoldings are simply unbearable.
The black market receptionist was obviously also confused by Feng Xiaotian, and it took a while for him to speak: "Avenger, there are others by your side?" β
Before the Taurus could speak, Feng Xiaotian preemptively said, "Not bad! I asked him to buy these things! I'm the boss, you know? You're like thatβ"
As soon as Feng Xiaotian said this, there was a "doodoo" sound in the stereo, it was obvious that the other party had hung up the phone, Taurus was stunned for a moment, and then said: "It is impossible for the other party to answer my phone again." β
Feng Xiaotian gasped and sneered: "Don't take it down!" They don't have the sincerity to do business at all, and they think we're fools! β
Taurus didn't know the approximate price of these scientific research equipment, so he didn't think that those quotations were unreliable, besides, this was the case on the black market, if there was no way, who would buy things from them?
At this point, this line is broken, Taurus thought for a moment and said, "What are your plans now?" β
Feng Xiaotian took a moment's breath, and then said: "It seems that I can only go to the Soviet Union to buy things, but ...... I'm afraid that I don't have enough money in my hands - Taurus, do you know any ways to make a lot of money quickly? β
The cash in Feng Xiaotian's hand only adds up to about 30 million US dollars. It's definitely not enough to buy high-end scientific research equipment with such a small amount of money, and Microsoft still has $500 million in revenue, and it should be possible to use this money in advance. But even so, the funding gap is quite large, even if the Soviets are willing to sell things cheaply, they can't sell such valuable equipment at a cabbage price, right?
The golden bull heard Feng Xiaotian's words and thought for a while, and then spoke: "Why don't you go with me to rob the tomb?" Those antiques are very valuable, any piece of blue and white porcelain from the Yuan Dynasty can buy millions of dollars, if you are lucky. The contents of an ancient tomb can be worth hundreds of millions of dollars. β
Feng Xiaotian couldn't help but shudder when he heard this, and said in his heart: Why do you feel panicked when you go to the place where the dead are getting things? Besides. Can so many antiques be sold out? Don't wait ten years to turn them into money, by which time the daylilies will be cold.
Feng Xiaotian shook his head when he thought of this: "Is there any other way besides robbing the tomb?" β
Taurus replied quickly this time: "There is another way, that is, to make some better things and sell them yourself." This method comes in faster. But relatively speaking, the risk is also higher, after all, the situation in the black market is very uncertain, and if you don't get it right, you will be hacked. β
Feng Xiaotian thought for a moment when he heard this, and then asked, "What do you think can be sold for a good price?" β
Hearing this, Taurus replied: "Generally speaking, arms are the most valuable - especially some more advanced weapons and equipment, such as the fighter plane that your friend took control of last time, I know that there is a person who is asking for it, and the price he offered is 500 million US dollars each." β
Feng Xiaotian was curious when he heard this: "Why didn't he go to someone on the black market to buy it?" β
Hearing this, the Taurus replied: "The black market is not omnipotent, and their stock has already attracted the attention of some countries. So they don't dare to violate the bottom line of some big countries, if they do. I'm afraid that they won't have a good time in the future. β
Feng Xiaotian nodded when he heard this, Taurus is right, the F15 fighter is American's, who has nothing to provoke them, besides, these people may not be able to get the F15 - however, I can!
Feng Xiaotian thinks that as long as he plans carefully, it is not difficult to get an F15, anyway, he is a single gang, and it is not comparable to an organization like the black market at all, even if the Americans want to track it down afterwards, they can't find it - in that case, why not?
Feng Xiaotian slapped the table when he thought of this and said, "It's decided!" When the matter of setting up a factory is implemented for a while, we will go to sell airplanes! β
The golden bull was quite shocked when he heard this: "Feng Xiaotian, you ...... Are you sure you want to do this? β
Feng Xiaotian laughed when he heard this: "What is this? Didn't you do that last time? β
Hearing this, Taurus shook his head again and again and said: "Last time was different, the plane crashed in the end, and the Americans don't have to worry about leaking secrets, but this time you have to sell the plane to others in its entirety - I think that the buyer should be a representative of a certain country, and they are afraid that they will only buy the plane for research, so that the Americans must not go crazy?" β
Feng Xiaotian raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "This is not what I am worried about, as long as we don't reveal our identities, where will the Americans go to find us?" I guess they can only stare dryly, right? β
Hearing this, the golden bull pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, you make your own decisions." β
After the two finished discussing, the golden bull went out, and Feng Xiaotian closed the door, wondering in his heart: Where did this guy dig a cellar? Doesn't it feel hot to sleep in the cellar in the big summer?
Then Feng Xiaotian landed on the network in the United States, and it didn't take much effort for him to contact Gates.
Gates has been busy lately, and since the mysterious "X" provided them with technical support, Microsoft's market share has now reached a very terrifying level, so other software manufacturers are conspiring to join forces to file an antitrust investigation with the US Supreme Court, Gates is a little worried about this, and is sitting in his office thinking about countermeasures.
Not long after, a dialog box suddenly flashed on the computer screen in front of him, which read: "Gates, long time no see." β
When Gates saw this, he immediately cheered up and replied, "Hello X, I don't know what you are looking for me today?" β
Gates knows the importance of X, without X's help. Microsoft is only afraid that it is already on the verge of bankruptcy, where will it have the current scenery? So he spoke politely.
Feng Xiaotian smiled slightly when he saw this, and typed, "I've encountered some difficulties recently. Can you pay me my dividends in advance? β
Gates thought for a moment, then typed: "According to the agreement between us, this money can only be given to you after the end of the year, but since you are in difficulty, I can transfer the money to your account in my private name first." β
Feng Xiaotian wanted this result, only to see him type: "Then thank you for your help, your recent performance should be very good, right?" β
Seeing this, Gates smiled and typed, "Very good indeed." We already have more than 90 percent of the market share β but because of that, we may face an antitrust investigation. β
Feng Xiaotian was stunned when he saw the term "anti-monopoly", he didn't know much about it. So I immediately started to check the exact meaning of the word "monopoly".
Gates waited for a while before he saw the following sentence appear on the computer: "So you're in big trouble?" β
Gates replied, "Sort of, if this does happen and Microsoft loses the case." There is a good chance that Microsoft will be in danger of being broken up. β
Microsoft has a stake in it. Seeing this, he typed: "This is not difficult to solve - you just need to insist that Microsoft does not have unfair competition, this is the key." β
Seeing this, Gates typed: "But we do have zΓ i this kind of behavior, chat software and video playback software are bundled with the Windows operating system, and other operating systems do not support these two software at all." β
Feng Xiaotian saw this and typed: "This is not right, these two software were originally developed by Microsoft, should we also consider their compatibility with other software when developing?" Microsoft is an independent company, so it doesn't have that obligation, right? In addition, we only sell software, and there is no mandatory requirement for Microsoft users to use these two software, right? It's people's own choice. It is the embodiment of Microsoft's great charm and strong competitiveness, as for other software companies. Their current situation has been a good indication that they are no longer competitive, and will the laws of the country protect the eliminators? If that's the case, then it's a big joke! β
Gates was stunned for a moment when he saw these words, and then typed: "But those justices don't think so, they only act according to the statute of the law, and they don't take these factors into account." β
Feng Xiaotian sighed and typed, "Can you tell me how much Microsoft's market value is now?" β
Gates replied: "Based on the current stock price, Microsoft has a market capitalization of $37 billion. β
Feng Xiaotian typed: "Isn't this right?" For such a large company, those justices don't think about the real interests? If they really dare to mess around, you threaten to sell your Microsoft stock, can they afford the market turmoil caused by this? β
Gates never thought about this problem, Microsoft was founded by him, if he really sold his shares, how could he be willing? I saw him type: "Microsoft is my brainchild, how can I do this?" β
Feng Xiaotian smiled when he saw this, and replied: "I didn't really let you do this, besides, even if you sell Microsoft, it's not that you can't make a comeback, isn't there still me?" As long as I provide you with technical support, it won't be long before you have another Microsoft, and I promise that this company will be even stronger than Microsoft! β
Gates smiled, he didn't like this method of breaking the net, only to see him reply: "This makes no sense, no matter how strong the new company is, it doesn't have that familiar feeling." β
Feng Xiaotian saw this and typed: "So, what I said doesn't work?" β
Gates replied: "I can't say that, I can only say that Microsoft's security cannot be absolutely guaranteed." β
Feng Xiaotian thought for a moment and typed: "If you really go to court, you can let the lawyer argue on the basis of reason, Microsoft is a high-tech technology company, even if it has a monopoly, it is only a monopoly in technology, and these technologies themselves cannot be shared with others, those software manufacturers are not good at their own technology, and they also expect to be compatible with the software developed by Microsoft, this is not the right idea, and it can't be said that Microsoft has a monopoly, just like some of the country's secret technologies, and they haven't taken it out to share with other countries, right?" β
Gates felt a lot more relieved when he saw this, only to see him type: "Well, I can start from this aspect, combined with what you said before, it should have an effect." β
Feng Xiaotian smiled slightly when he saw these words, and typed: "For the sake of me being so enthusiastic about helping, do you think you can advance next year's dividends to me?" β
The reason why Feng Xiaotian talked to Gates for so long was to get more money from him, he felt that 500 million US dollars plus the money to sell fighters in the future was not enough, so he wanted Gates to give more, otherwise he would not be too lazy to ink with Gates.
Gates was immediately dumbfounded when he saw this, the money he promised to pay Feng Xiaotian was all his personal, 500 million US dollars was already the limit of what he could take, and he had to sell some stocks to make it up, but Feng Xiaotian still wants to advance next year's dividends, even if he is willing to give, but he has no money to give!
Gates was stunned for a moment, then typed with a wry smile: "I only have so much private funds, if you want to advance next year's money, I'm afraid there is nothing I can do." β
Feng Xiaotian had already thought of a countermeasure, only to see him type: "You can start a project and say that a new operating system is developed, and the company should allocate funds, right?" Why don't you just take 500 million from it and give it to me directly? β
Gates saw this, his eyes lit up, and he said, "So you already have plans to develop a new operating system?" β
Feng Xiaotian typed: "As long as you give me the money, I promise to complete it before the end of the year, do you think it's okay?" β
If that's the case, Gates can also accept it, of course he is not afraid that Feng Xiaotian will take the money and not do anything, according to the previous agreement reached by the two parties, Feng Xiaotian can get 10% of the dividends from Microsoft every year, he can't give up the annual dividends for 500 million US dollars, right?
Thinking of this, Gates replied, "Okay, I can do what you ask, and I hope you can keep the agreement." β
Feng Xiaotian saw that Gates agreed, so he typed with a smile: "Then it's decided - this is my Swiss bank account, just put the money into this account directly after you get it, I still have something to do, bye." β
Feng Xiaotian interrupted the conversation, then turned off the computer and went to bed, it's one o'clock in the morning, it's not okay not to rest, and tomorrow I have to attend the groundbreaking ceremony of the industrial park! (To be continued......)
