I want to have a date with Superman
Chapter 278 On the plane
"The murderer who shot my parents committed suicide, and the people behind the hired killers, the Court of Owls, were all wiped out by Harley.
I don't feel sorry for not being able to take revenge personally, but I feel a little sad and empty.
When I left Gotham, I was determined to find another way to complete my revenge.
Who stipulates that revenge must bring killing, blood and new hatred?
I swore in front of my parents' graves that I would achieve my purpose of revenge by protecting them.
Protecting others from the same tragic fate is the greatest revenge for human sin and unfair fate. "
As the years passed, Bruce's mind became more mature and his views were almost firmly formed.
At this moment, facing Ah Fu's inquiry, there was no confusion in his eyes.
Instead, eagerness appeared on his face.
Afu sighed and took out a "board" that surprised Bruce.
"Is this an MP4? It's so big and so thin." Bruce said.
"Well, Master, have you lived in the mountains these past few years?" Ah Fu paused and asked.
"That's right, I studied under a teacher near Mount Everest. There is no Internet connection in the mountain." Bruce said with a complicated expression.
"Alas, MP3 and MP4 have been eliminated long ago. This is a tablet computer produced by Apple in Paradise Mountain."
"I seem to have an impression of Apple computers, but Paradise Mountain—eh, this avatar looks a bit like Harley?"
After Afu long-pressed to boot, the system startup interface was a cartoon-style sketch, much like an old friend.
"That's Miss Quinn. Her company's electronic products all have this picture." Ah Fu said casually.
Uh, someone is imitating Sister Dong.
However, she still has a bit of integrity and doesn't directly take a high-definition "beauty" photo to impress people like Sister Dong. Well, with Harley's charming appearance, maybe there won't be such a negative effect?
Can't you say it sells better?
"Harley's company? I remember the boss of Apple was Steve Jobs."
Afu said: "Jobs is the founder of Apple, but in 2007, Gotham was optimizing its industrial structure, and the municipal government came up with a package of policies to encourage high-tech industries.
Miss Quinn has received billions of dollars in loans.
She first purchased a large number of electronic technology patents from our Wayne Company and established the "Paradise Mountain" company to specialize in the production of smartphones.
In the same year, Apple also launched its own iPhone.
As you know, Wayne holds the entire set of patents for 3G information technology.
Bought by Miss Quinn.
In fact, the 4G information technology that was about to be developed and perfected, along with the technology development department, were packaged by Miss Quinn and became a branch of Paradise Mountain.
Then nothing happened.
Apple was defeated by Tianshanshan, which mastered the core technology.
In 2009, Apple was acquired by Paradise Mountain.
In other words, Apple Computer Company has become one of the industries of Tiantianshan Group. "
Bruce frowned and said, "Why did you sell the 3G and 4G patents to Harley? Even if I haven't graduated from high school, I know they are high-quality assets.
How much money did we make when it was 2g! "
"If you don't sell it, you will go bankrupt." Afu said numbly.
"Wayne Group. Bankruptcy?" Bruce said in disbelief.
Ah Fu reminded: "In the Indian Mountain Incident, our company is being thoroughly investigated by the government, do you remember?
Before you left, you specifically ordered all departments in the company to cooperate with Miss Quinn's investigation, but too many were found. Alas, you know. "
"I trusted Harley, so I asked Harley to investigate the Wayne Group, but I didn't let her poach me!" Bruce frowned.
"She didn't break the law."
"No illegal means were used, no insider trading, how could the board of directors give in? Are they all idiots?" Bruce looked full of doubt.
"Well, she didn't break the law. It's just that after the 'Indian Hill Incident', the Gotham government passed a new law - the 'Anti-Wayne Act.'" Afu said.
"What? Isn't this illegal?" Bruce was no longer calm.
In order not to poach him illegally, we might as well establish a law that would make her behavior illegal.
This is simply taking the law as a joke.
So evil!
Afu hesitated for a moment, then simply opened "Google Encyclopedia" and searched for "Anti-Wayne Act".
Below the anti-Wayne Act entry, there is a series of representative comments.
Bruce looked over and was stunned.
"The cry of Gotham citizens: The evil Wayne Group can no longer rule Gotham. Long live the Anti-Wayne Act and long live Mayor Quinn - "Gotham Gazette."
"Gotham's economy has developed rapidly in the past few years, and the Anti-Wayne Act is one of the most important contributors. It has filled Gotham's economy with new vitality - Nobel Prize-winning economist Moder Zheren."
“The Anti-Wayne Act is essentially an antitrust bill. Wayne’s control over Gotham’s economy and people’s livelihood exceeds Samsung’s control over Seoul.
What's even more frightening is that because of the United States' hegemony over the world, foreign companies are unable to challenge the Wayne Group in Gotham.
Gotham used to be like a pool of stagnant water that smelled of rotting corpses, as hopeless as an open bottle of mineral water in the Sahara Desert.
In such a desperate situation, it is indeed a blessing for Gotham to have a reformer full of courage, courage and wisdom like Mayor Quinn.
——"World Economic Review Gotham Special Issue"
"Is the Anti-Wayne Act saving Gotham? Or are these commentators taking Harley's dirty money?
And, what’s up with Google, Wayne’s ‘hello’ search engine? "Bruce looked confused.
Ah Fu said: "You may not know that Google was acquired by us in the early years."
"I know, Harley also lost a lot of money on Google." Bruce interrupted.
Ah Fu nodded and said with emotion: "Yes, Miss Quinn said at that time - I want to fight for my life, not to get back what I have lost, but to tell everyone how great I am!
Then, in her "Industry Optimization Plan", she asked the board of directors to draw blood from Hello Company and use all resources to develop Google.
It turns out that Miss Quinn is really amazing, and Google defeated many competitors to become the most influential search engine in the world.
It is much better than the previous hello, which was neither loss nor profit, and dead but not stiff. "
Bruce waved his hands unconsciously, "I don't understand more and more why Harley can ask the board of directors."
"Miss Quinn owns 5% of the original shares of Wayne Group and is the second largest shareholder after you." Afu said.
"Shit, she is now the chairman of Wayne Group? Is my Wayne Manor still there?" Bruce's eyes widened.
"Master, don't worry." Ah Fu held his shoulders and comforted him: "Miss Quinn has a 25-story luxury building next to Central Park.
Well, the Quinn Building.
On Arkham Island, there is also the Quinn Manor covering an area of fifty acres.
In Jersey City, in the North City High-tech Development Zone, and in Long Island, there are private mansions in many prosperous or beautiful areas.
Last time I celebrated my birthday, she came to our manor as a guest. She also disliked the old infrastructure and outdated architectural design of Wayne Manor. "
Bruce said blankly: "I have only heard of people who lost a lot of money after becoming mayor, governor, or president. Isn't she afraid of being investigated when she made such a huge fortune?"
"What are you investigating? Miss Quinn's current property is cleaner than the rest of us.
And she only served as mayor for four years.
Wayne Group also manufactures weapons, sells arms, conducts biochemical experiments, and produces various pharmaceuticals that are on the edge of the law.
In addition to her shares in Wayne, Amazon, Twitter and other companies, she currently has two main industries: producing mobile phones and computers, developing Tianshan Mountain, a smart electronic ecological chain, and puppy video, which has not yet been launched.
Oh, by the way, there is also the ‘Gotham Fighting Championship’ that you are familiar with.
Boxing matches are also completely legal. Not only are they broadcast online, they are also drafted every year, following the example of the NBA.
Every penny she has now is clean and traceable. Ah Fu said with a bitter smile.
"Forget it, let's not talk about Harley." Bruce pressed his temple in distress, "The Anti-Wayne Act, please explain it to me carefully."
Afu said: “The main purpose is to break our monopoly in key industries such as biomedicine, information and communications, military production, and food processing.
For example, in information and communication, we cannot not only produce communication tools, but also set up communication networks, set up telecommunications companies, and develop core communication technologies such as 3G and 4G.
We can keep a few of these companies, but we can't control them all.
If we dominate the entire information and communication industry chain, even if we do illegal things such as eavesdropping and surveillance, we will not be discovered.
Even if it is discovered, it cannot change the status quo. "
"Well, in that case, Harley really did something righteous." Bruce looked confused. "Back then, the Court of Owls used Wayne Telecom to monitor the communications and locations of everyone in Gotham."
"It's basically just, and the people of Gotham applaud it." Ah Fu said helplessly: "If it were us, even if you and the master wanted to change all this, I'm afraid they wouldn't cut themselves off, and at most they would strengthen the supervision within the company. Intensity.”
Bruce was silent.
Afu continued: “During the segmentation of the information industry, the board of directors chose industries that are more traditional and more stable in terms of money, and ignored the social and economic changes brought about by the development of information technology.
In this way, the 3G and 4G patents were bought by Miss Quinn.
Of course, we have not completely lost our patents, but we have only given her the power to formulate industry rules.
Then, with her epoch-making smartphone, she soared into the sky and became unstoppable.
Later, she believed that Wayne Group's mature and efficient technology research and development and rich patent reserves could become the most powerful engine for her new technology company.
Through share exchange, he became the majority shareholder of Wayne Group. "
Bruce thought about it and said, "If I understand correctly, Harley's Paradise Mountain Company is just a production workshop, and all core technologies come from Wayne Group?"
"Well," Ah Fu said with a weird expression, "The core technology is provided by Wayne Group, and the production and assembly are handled by the company in Great China."
"Technology research and development and product production have nothing to do with her, so what does she do?" Bruce asked doubtfully.
"She sells brands."
"How many shares does a shell company selling brands need to exchange for 5% of the original shares of Wayne Group?" Bruce asked.
"25%, young master, this is the price of friendship." Ah Fu said.
"Okay, considering our friendship, I can grit my teeth and accept it reluctantly." Bruce said very embarrassedly.
"No, Master, you misunderstood. It's not your friendship for her, it's the big deal she gave you because of your friendship." Ah Fu said sternly.
"Afu, are you kidding?" Bruce asked in surprise.
Afu said: "First there was the Indian Mountain incident, and then a large number of illegal projects were discovered in Wayne Group, so the company's stock fell to the bottom.
At that time, she started bargain hunting.
As of now, the total market value of Wayne Group fluctuates around one trillion U.S. dollars, and Paradise Mountain’s current market value is close to 400 billion U.S. dollars.
What’s scary is the increase in Paradise Hills’ market value.
Some economic experts predict that within five years, it will exceed one trillion yuan.
For example, Lex Luthor, who is also engaged in high-tech in Washington, belittles Paradise Mountain in the media every day, but secretly increases his holdings of Paradise Mountain shares. "
