Rebirth of the Tech Madman

...

Tang Huan certainly had enough confidence to let his opponent do the multiple-choice questions by himself.

Regardless of whether it can be immediately determined that the blackout in the United States and Canada was really caused by the Year 2000 Bug, it will not affect its terrifying effect as if the end of the world is coming, and it will be deeply imprinted in everyone's mind.

If so, you can bet that the millennium bug will not cause trouble on December 31, 1999 and January 1, 2000!

In fact, many industries, including banking, telecommunications, and electric power, are now heartbroken, and while increasing their own departmental budgets, they are requesting to cooperate with general electric and other power management system suppliers to assist in dealing with the U.S. Power outage Zheru software company, increase service efforts.

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

To fill the engineering gap in the service division, CEO Brad Swahlberg has been tempted to temporarily reposition some employees to free up as many people as possible, and even began to consider outsourcing part of the business.

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

Ever since, a somewhat exaggerated scene appeared.

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

We need Zhiru Software to focus on providing the most professional services in the next few months, instead of being distracted by the monopoly case and making mistakes in the chaos.

Of course, the Department of Justice and the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia are unwilling to accept this kind of petition, which seems to be a replica of the first half of the year.

There are already enough exceptions at Zheru Software Company, and there is no end to it.

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

When industries outside the banking, telecommunications, electric power and other fields issued appeals one after another, many companies in the field also joined in.

The mystery in this can be said to be that it can only be understood, but cannot be expressed in words.

Gein, for users who use computer information management systems, the Year 2000 Bug is a disaster; but for the industry, it is a great business opportunity.

It is obvious that Zheru Software is by no means the only company providing Y2K prevention solutions, and it is impossible for Zheru Software to take over all of them.

This is a big pot of rice with equal interests.

Since the 1990s, the industry has spent tens of billions of dollars on the prevention of the Year 2000 Bug, and I don't know how many people have been supported.

When everyone is more and more confident in preventing the millennium bug, the industry's profits from this aspect will decrease accordingly.

As a result, a sudden blackout in the United States and Canada has frightened the donors. Without trying to urge them, they are willing to take the initiative to prevent the millennium bug and increase consumption.

In other words, this windfall around the millennium bug can be called the last supper of this century.

Yes, the gluttonous feast in the first half of the year was quite satisfactory, but who would think that they made too much money?

In this way, the worries about safety outside the circle and the enthusiasm for business opportunities inside the circle merged together, and then produced nuclear fusion, emitting unparalleled energy.

While all parties were playing games, another event that had a great impact on the circle happened.

On September 21, 1999, an earthquake with a magnitude of 7.3 on the Richter scale occurred in Baodao, Asia. Activities were completely suspended, especially the Hsinchu Science and Industry Park, which suffered the most severe losses.

You know, almost 90% of the motherboards used in personal computers worldwide are supplied by Formosa.

Now, Formosa, a pivotal player in the global supply chain,

Suddenly unable to supply, the entire computer industry naturally became turbulent.

Power outage in the United States and Canada, Millennium Bug, September 21 Earthquake...

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

For example, in the original time and space, the obvious decline in the sales of chewing gum can be rationally analyzed to be caused by the popularity of the Apple iPhone. It is not difficult to imagine how many major events in front of us will directly and indirectly radiate Associated changes.

So with a ding dong, Zheru Software Company, which had previously bound the entire industry, has successfully bound the two interest communities inside and outside the circle again.

In the end, the White House responded as usual. US President Bill Clinton met with Attorney General Janet Reynolds and others, and coordinated a result. The monopoly case of the United States of America v. Zheru Software Company continued to be suspended.

The media all exclaimed that Zheru Software is so powerful!

...

Seeing that it will be quiet for a while, the richest man will not stay on the east coast of the United States. He returns to San Francisco in a hurry, and asks about the September 21 Earthquake in Taiwan.

The natural disaster that Baodao encountered this time is indeed no small matter, and it is the most serious one after the end of World War II. The earthquake, which lasted 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, houses, roads and bridges and other transportation facilities, water conservancy facilities such as dams and embankments, as well as electrical equipment, life-support pipelines, industrial facilities, and hospitals Facilities, schools and other public facilities were destroyed by the earthquake on a large scale, and even caused secondary disasters such as large-scale mudslides, and aftershocks were frequent.

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

However, it is precisely because of this so-called confidence that due to political reasons, there have been some dirty things in disaster relief.

Tang Huan, who had had a falling out with someone long ago, definitely didn't want to make a fuss about it, but he still had to express his condolences, which had to be given to his confidante.

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

In the same small and gloomy treasure island, the political relationship is not as complicated as usual, especially when treasure island will also undergo a change of power next year.

Do you think that your donation is just a simple process of condolences? Maybe he was assigned to a certain camp.

Therefore, Deng Lijun, Lin Fengjiao, Lin Qingxia, and Hu Yinmeng, who usually the king does not see the king, and the queen does not see the queen, now rarely sit together and listen to their own men's ideas.

At this stage, in the ruling camp of Baodao, internal fighting continues.

Song Chuyu, who didn't listen to Mr. Richest Man's advice, has been holding on to Li's thigh, hoping to be the successor, but Tang Huan probably knows the true thoughts in that old fox's head.

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

In 1979, after Deng Lijun encountered the fake passport incident, Song Chuyu went to the United States to meet this influential Chinese singer in person, 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 close.

Under the rules of the game like Baodao, the value of an influential star to an ambitious politician is self-evident.

It needs to be pointed out that Song Chuyu, who has been in the political arena of Taiwan for so many years, has successfully created a good image of being shrewd, capable, diligent and caring for the people. Lian Zhan.

From this, it is not difficult to see why Song Chuyu, who has been refusing to listen to Mr. Richest Man's suggestion and set up another mountain earlier, has turned against him at this time.

I have fought according to the rules of the game to the heights I am now, but in the end I am still no match for the sons of officials who were born with a golden spoon in their mouths. Then why do I need your camp?

Tang Huan looked at it from a condescending angle, and naturally knew that Li was deliberately forcing Song Chuyu to rebel and completely ruining his current camp.

But these people in the game didn't understand, their eyes were red, and they tried their best to pinch each other along the path drawn by Mr. Li.

Under such circumstances, once Deng Lijun went to Baodao, she would definitely be regarded as helping Song Chuyu to canvass votes.

Correspondingly, Hu Yinmeng, who has become Mr. Richest Man's right-hand man in the entertainment industry at this time, is not suitable to go back, because she and Lian Zhan belong to the Second Generation Guan, and people in the same circle have also been in close contact for a long time.

If it was Lin Qingxia, it wouldn't work either.

You know, this big star who was personally awarded the Oscar queen by the richest man, also encountered such kind of problems when he returned to Taiwan as a producer to promote The Matrix last Christmas and this summer. troubles.

Reach out and don't hit the smiling person, and they won't provoke you. Of course, no one dares to provoke the woman of the richest man. Thinking about Deng Lijun's sake, Tang Huanchong was so angry that he played a lot of games with Baodao, and he was already frightened. All kinds of villains have the guts, but they only need to invite them to a meal with enthusiasm, which is enough for the media to create momentum.

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

Deng Lijun, Lin Qingxia, and Hu Yinmeng looked at Lin Fengjiao at the same time, with a complicated meaning in their eyes.

Everyone was a big star at the beginning, but now the three daughters still have their own brilliant careers, only Lin Fengjiao has become an invisible man without nostalgia, and seems to have lost a lot, but they also live in Chang'an City justifiably , taking care of the internal affairs of the Tang family in a logical manner with no real 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 gaining benevolence, seeking wisdom and wisdom.

Why did the ancients leave the summary of rarely confused, which describes the world, and should not be too serious.

The girls are all mature mothers who have entered their forties. They can only stare at Tang Huan as the instigator, and finally they have to listen to the decision of the head of the family.

Mr. Richest Man, who was confused and understood, finally looked at Lin Fengjiao with a smile and said: It seems that now you are the only one who is suitable to take a trip.

Okay. Lin Fengjiao, as always, was reasonable, nodded and agreed: If there is anything that needs attention, please tell me.

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

...

After the private affairs of the family are arranged, Mr. Richest Man has to go back and deal with official affairs.

The power supply failure caused by the September 21 Earthquake in Baodao affected the operation of the local industrial park, which in turn caused shocks in the global computer supply chain, which are being amplified.

In fact, as early as July 29 this year, a large-scale power outage occurred in Baodao.

It can be said that Baodao's finances are not short of money, and it does not hesitate to invest in power construction.

However, for a long time, Baodao has invested more funds in the construction of power plants, and has underestimated the transmission lines required for power transmission; Power flourishes.

Constrained by the construction of transmission towers and substations, electromagnetic radiation hazards and other safety reasons, the project is often delayed, and it is lucky not to be put on hold.

The July 29 Baodao blackout was caused by the domino effect caused by the tilt of an iron tower.

As a result, the semiconductor factory in the Hsinchu Science and Technology Park, which had not received the warning of the power outage, interrupted production, lost more than two billion yuan, and the stock market also suffered a severe setback.

No matter what high-sounding reasons there are, it is a fact that Baodao's current power supply service is unsatisfactory.

Coupled with the shocks brought about by the September 21 Earthquake to the global computer supply chain, Tang Huan planned to take the opportunity to further adjust the layout to avoid the foreseeable messy political scene in Baodao in the next few years, which may bring negative impact.

Fangyuan CEO John Chambers had already prepared for this. In his report, he mentioned that Fangyuan will be able to withdraw from Baodao next year and turn to complete OEM.

Tang Huan sighed, At present, the global annual shipment of personal computers has reached more than 100 million units, which can be described as gratifying, but the new economic cycle is always inevitable, and it is always good to be able to plan ahead in terms of cost control. !

John Chambers nodded in agreement, and then said: HP finally parachuted a CEO, and chose Carrie Fiorina, who was poached by Wall Street at a high price.

The richest man frowned, and sighed: Yes, now Silicon Valley is still free from Wall Street's big companies, and there are almost only a handful of Fangyuan, Zheru Software, etc., and the pressure is getting bigger and bigger.
