Reborn Tech Maniac

Chapter 974 The Terrible Blackout in America and Canada

……

In fact, no matter how the richest man behaves "worry about the world first", it doesn't matter. What the media is concerned about is whether Zheru Software really gave itself another excuse to delay the lawsuit.

The previous conspiracy, that is, StudiOS_XP hijacked the entire IT industry in an upright manner, forcefully forced the United States of America v. Zheru Software Company monopoly case, and pressed the pause button, which really made the onlookers gasp in amazement.

Now, time has arrived in the second half of the year, and according to the agreement, the show should start again.

Zheru Software Company did not want the pause button to pop up, which could have been foreseen a long time ago; but the outside world does not know how to do it.

Just now Tang Huan announced the answer with eloquence, the significance is that it was confirmed authoritatively, and Zheru Software Company made a move.

The reporters whose curiosity was satisfied also had to accept that this excuse was indeed very powerful.

I just don’t know if the Ministry of Justice can do what it wants.

However, the excitement lies in this kind of game!
After the reporters were appeased, the opening ceremony of the Olympia World Tower returned to normal.

The man who was able to work for the richest man, together with the first lady of the United States Hillary Clinton and other top celebrities in the United States, congratulated on the spot. This skyscraper naturally has something extraordinary.

First, the ship queen Christina spent less than 6000 million U.S. dollars to buy this piece of land. The location is a bit special, just opposite the United Nations headquarters.

Second, with a height of 260 meters and a cost of [-] million U.S. dollars, the Olympia World Tower has become the tallest skyscraper in the world in this century; time of year.

It is obvious that such a tall skyscraper not only directly overlooks the United Nations Headquarters opposite, but also allows a panoramic view of New York, where there are many tall buildings.

Thirdly, we will talk about the positioning of Olympia World Tower for social elites. The price range from 2800 million US dollars to 5800 million US dollars clearly sends a signal that if you don’t have money, don’t worry about crowding here.

Originally, Te Langpu, who was in charge of the construction of the project, took the initiative to invite the ship queen Christina, saying: I am not only a first-class house builder, but also a master at selling houses. My name is a golden sign in the real estate industry.You know, all the properties that bear the name of Telangpu make a lot of money.

As a result, the female shipping queen Christina did not accept this trick at all: If you want to increase the money, just say so!Calling Athena World Tower after my daughter would sound better than Langpu World Tower.

Te Langpu, who is poor but has short ambitions, has not yet mastered the "handshake kill" trick. In the past few years of cooperation, he has become accustomed to being choked by the female shipping queen Christina, so he calmly said: Then When necessary, let’s talk about Te Langpu’s naming rights.

The subtext here is: Without my help, the two sets of units on the top two floors, which cost as much as 5800 million US dollars, are estimated to be sold by you and Tang personally, buying one set and digesting it.

But after reading today's lineup of people present, Te Langpu realized that he was out of business, at least the two most expensive units had already been settled.

Not to mention that Te Langpu is convinced, even Mr. Richest Man has shown great hospitality to representatives of various Middle Eastern royal families, especially members of the Saudi Arabian royal family. He just said: as long as you are willing to buy, we will give you a discount !

A few days later, the media reported the grand occasion of the Olympia World Tower, and paid special attention to the residents who had a lot of background.

"The tallest residence in the world, home to the richest people in the world" and so on, spending money on advertising, this is the effect.

However, the more prosperous the husband-and-wife shop of the richest man and the ship queen, the more intriguing the newly reopened United States of America v. Zheru Software Corporation monopoly case.

The "New York Times" put out a questioning title: "Zheru Software's next life-saving straw, "Year [-] Bug"?" "

The "Wall Street Journal" also analyzed that global IT users have already invested at least tens of billions of dollars in measures to deal with the "Year 2000 Bug", and as the year [-] approaches, the time for the big test is finally coming.Zheru Software Company used this as an excuse to intercede for itself, which is reasonable, but I am afraid that the Ministry of Justice is not willing to continue to procrastinate.After all, next year is the year of the U.S. general election. Once such a complicated lawsuit is mixed with the election situation, the result will be really unpredictable.

A media like the "New York Post", which has been professionally blackmailing Tang for more than ten years, must be too lazy to guarantee a neutral and serious reporting position. , 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" could not allow its enemies to dominate the show, and immediately said sarcastically: "You will be lucky. When the end of the world comes, Tang Hezheru Software Company can reach out to you regardless of previous grudges." A helping hand.”

The "New York Post" gloated nonchalantly: "That's it. The opportunity for Tang and Zheru Software to be the savior will really appear."

Both of them are majestic mainstream media in the press conference hall of the White House, so you come and I spit at each other without integrity, there is no dignity at all, anyway, the more it is like this, the more topics will be discussed, and the sales will follow. greatly increased.

The world is complicated.

Seeing the New York Post and New York Daily News blah blah blah blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

Many people have raised their voices and issued predictions that a large number of computer crashes and failures caused by the "Year [-] Bug" problem will cause major disasters worldwide and eventually cause society to stop functioning.

This "many people" are really all kinds of people scrambling to create a sense of presence. Even the American evangelical Christian pastor, writer, and speaker Li Xiting pointed out that the "Doomsday Lost" series that he began to create in [-] The novel, the scenes in it, could really have happened around the turn of the century.

In fact, although the year [-] is not as hyped as the year [-], when the Mayan doomsday prophecy was in place, various doomsday predictions are still rampant.

There are ulterior motives with ulterior motives hidden in it, and commercial interests on the surface are also fueling the flames.

For example, Hollywood took the opportunity to launch disaster-themed movies such as "The End of the World", "Clash of Heaven and Earth", and "Godzilla" to consume people's obsession with the theme of the end of the world.

However, such a topic is just a piece of fun. In [-], that is, this year alone, the number of doomsday predictions that have been published in newspapers around the world can be counted on one hand, but the results are not the world. Peace.

Human society will ultimately be dominated by science.

Soon, news came out that the monopoly case between the United States of America v. Zheru Software Company was restarted, and the trial will be held again on September [-].

Judging from the current progress, if not expected, Zheru Software will be established as a monopoly in about a month.

Fearing that the onlookers would not know the mystery of the reopening of the United States of America v. Zheru Software Corporation monopoly case on September [-], the "New York Post" pointed out mockingly: Tang and Zheru Software Company did not want to use the "Year [-] Bug" as an excuse , delay the monopoly case of the United States of America v. Zheru Software Company again?

According to the meaning of "Millennium Bug", the most likely date when the software system ran wrong, sorted according to the time closest to us, in order: September 31, 28, December 29, [-] , January [-], [-], February [-], [-], and February [-], [-].

Well, the problem is coming.

The resumption of the monopoly case against Zheru Software Company by the United States of America was on September [-]th. Is it just a simple coincidence?
Not to mention, there are indeed many people who don't know that there are so many doorways hidden in such trivial details as the court opening time.

The first point in time when the "Year [-] Bug" is most likely to break out, on September [-]th, the United States of America v. Zheru Software Company monopoly case reopened.

This is no less than a resounding slap in the face for Zheru Software, which is trying to use the "Millennium Bug" as a reason to plead for mercy to once again suspend the monopoly case brought by the United States of America against Zheru Software.

The people above are particular about what they do, and everything goes without saying!
Just from this meaningful hint, it is not difficult to see that Zheru Software Company was ruled to be a monopoly and could not escape!
Is there anything more to do than this?
The media reporters with a keen sense of smell quickly chased and intercepted the richest man who was convinced that he was still on the east coast of the United States.

……

At this time, Tang Huan was "watering and fertilizing" the young 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, EMC, founded in [-] and headquartered in Hopkinton, Massachusetts, is decisively moving closer to this field.

If a market wants to grow bigger, it must recruit as many people as possible, so as to establish a community of interests.

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

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

The reason for choosing here is that the companies that live here are themselves customers with great potential for cloud computing services.From the fact that 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 Tang's IT kingdom followed suit and set up a stronghold here.

When Tang Huan finished attending the event and came out of the World Trade Center in New York, the reporters who were waiting hard rushed up and asked almost in unison: "Tang, the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia did not accept the suspension of the United States of America. The monopoly case against Zheru Software Company, so that Zheru Software Company can focus more on assisting the industry in preventing the 'Year [-] Bug' request. What do you think of this?"

The richest man shrugged helplessly, "Other than expressing regret, I don't know what to say."

The reporters immediately stretched their necks and asked: "September [-]th is the first time point when the 'Year [-] Bug' may break out, and the United States of America v. Zheru Software Company monopoly case happened to be reopened on this day. What do you say about this? Do you still not know what to say?"

Looking at the reporters waiting for food, Tang Huan smiled wryly and said, "What exactly do you want me to express? Outraged by this ironic decision? Looking forward to the 'millennium bug' really breaking out on September [-]?"

"Possibly, the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit of the District of Columbia believes that the industry's prevention of the 'Year [-] Bug' is sufficient, and there is no need to give Zheru Software time to further enhance the level of prevention."

"In fact, I also think that the preparations of the industry to prevent the 'Year 31 Bug' are sufficient. On the whole, we can safely pass through September 28, 29, and even December [-], [-] and February [-]. January [-], [-] is quite safe, but February [-], [-] and February [-], [-] are more likely to be slack off by people who have passed the three tests, and thus more Unprepared and threatening."

Seeing Mr. Richest's answer without a trace of fireworks, the reporters who came here to dig up information couldn't help but be disappointed.

Seeing that the boss dealt with the group of reporters happily, the security assistants stopped being polite, separated the crowd, and opened the way forward.

Walking to the side of the car, Tang Huan stopped, looked up at the imposing World Trade Center in New York with a blank face, and sneered secretly: "I have participated in all IT buildings around the world, so I naturally know where the weak points are. , You can gently push it down with just one finger. It’s time for the ignorant to see what a real hacker war is.”

……

Although the reporters didn't get the kind of news they expected, it doesn't mean they can't hype.

Soon, the richest man’s low-key statement was interpreted as giving up.

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

……

Time soon came to September [-], [-]. The monopoly case between the United States of America v. Zheru Software Company was held again, and various media gathered at the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit of the District of Columbia.

A powerful faction like CNN simply broadcasts live.In many public areas like Rockefeller Center, some large TV screens are also switched to the corresponding channels.

I saw a reporter from CNN, standing in front of the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit of the District of Columbia, and said with a serious face: "It is nine o'clock in the morning on September [-], [-], and in a few minutes, the United States of America v. Zhe After a few months, the monopoly case of Ru Software Company will be held again..."

At this time, there was a sudden noise from the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit of the District of Columbia, and many people were evacuated in a hurry. Although the reporters of the CNN were very professional, they were also caught off guard and crowded into an awkward situation.

The reporter adjusted the microphone and continued dutifully: "I just got a piece of news that the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia suddenly lost power. Studio, did you hear my report? The anchor..."

The reporters who couldn't get feedback were shocked by the louder noise, looked around, and felt that the whole city seemed to be drained of life force!

Unbeknownst to the reporter, the CNN signal was actually down.

However, backup power was of course available for such an important institution, and normal operation was restored shortly thereafter.

However, the news content has changed!

There are widespread power outages in the northeastern United States, as well as in eastern Canada.

People who have long relied heavily on the convenience of modern life have panicked and exclaimed: What's the matter? Is the end of the world coming, or is there a terrorist attack?
