Rebirth 98, the rise started from ripping off Microsoft

Chapter 15 I, Lu Yiming, Make Money

Ginny clicked on the boss's mailbox while fantasizing about the wonderful life after catching a wealthy son-in-law.

Her immediate boss, Bill Gates, the boss of Microsoft, is now in full swing and hot, so he receives a lot of emails every day.

In these emails, some people give advice and want to teach Bill Gates, the richest man in the world, how to make money.

Some life experiences are more tortuous than Tang Seng's journey to the west, and they sell miserably, obviously wanting to kneel down and beg to join Microsoft.

Some people have shocking academic qualifications and started an Internet company. Unfortunately, their funds were broken and they were half dead, so they came to beg Microsoft's father to invest money to continue their lives.

Some are purely advertising, selling crap.

All in all, out of a thousand emails, not many are really useful.

And Ginny's job is to pick out those really useful emails from the garbage mountain and send them to Bill Gates.

Ginny propped up her sharp chin, dragged the mouse with her tender white palm, stared listlessly at the screen, and continued her boring work.

After reading one, it is confirmed that it is rubbish, and X will be discarded.

After reading another one, it is still rubbish, continue to X.

The monotonous work drained her little patience and made her feel uninterested.

Suddenly, she saw an email, and the expression on her face changed slightly.

The title of the email showed that this email was sent from a distant eastern country, that piece of land known as the Internet Desert!

Has Xia Guo connected to the Internet?
In Ginny's perception, Xia Guo is still a barren land. People living in Xia Guo, even if they are not in a primitive society where they drink blood and drink blood, are definitely far from modern civilized life.

Now there is actually a person from Xia who wants to talk to his boss via email?

This is really a scorpion pulling papa.

Ginny couldn't help cheering up, and she opened this "different" e-mail with great interest.

The content of the email is very short, only one sentence.

"Windows98 has a fatal loophole. I have helped to fix it now. Please settle the service fee as soon as possible."

After reading it, Ginny couldn't help laughing out loud, but she sneered at the above words, full of disdain in her heart: The current liar is really whimsical.

She admitted that she really did not expect that Xia Guo had really connected to the Internet, but she doubted that with Xia Guo's economic level, could people living there afford computers?

As for the Xia people who can understand the system code and help patch Windows 98?
how can that be!

Who dares to say such a thing, I am afraid that God will not be able to help laughing when he sees it!

Ginny directly took this as a scam email and planned to delete it.

However, when she put the mouse on the upper right corner of the webpage, she was surprised to find that the webpage could not be closed!
"What's going on? Is the computer stuck?"

Ginny didn't panic at first, but muttered something in a low voice.

Windows98 is the first operating system that breaks through the concept of DOS and enters the 32-bit environment. It is understandable that it freezes occasionally.

After waiting for a while, Ginny operated again, only to find that it was still not working!
"What's going on? Is it dead?"

Ginny pressed the off button.

However, the computer screen does not move at all!

Unable to shut down! ?
Ginny panicked.

"Could it be that the computer is poisoned?"

Ginny looked at the power strip, wondering whether to unplug the power directly.

These days, the combination of computer software and hardware is not very good, especially the memory function of the hard disk. Direct hot swapping may cause irreversible damage to the computer.

However, Ginny pressed the shutdown button several times in a row, but the computer did not respond!

The only way, I am afraid, is to unplug the power supply.

However, after Ginny unplugged and restarted the computer, she was horrified to find that the screen was still filled with pop-up email pages, and it was still inoperable!

What kind of virus can't be solved even by switching on and off?
With no other choice, Ginny had to call the technical department for help.

the other side.

In the CEO's office, Bill Gates has a serious face. Sitting opposite him is his old partner Allen, the second head of Microsoft.

Both of them were in a bad mood, and they chatted solemnly about the anti-monopoly lawsuit caused by the banning of Netscape.

The Ministry of Justice of the beautiful country has always wanted to split Microsoft. In addition to the high-sounding reason of "anti-monopoly", there is also the reason why the old boss IBM is secretly working hard.

Speaking of the grievances between IBM and Microsoft, it is really endless for three days and three nights. From falling in love to killing each other, the two sides have almost run through most of the history of computer development.

Allen, whose hairline keeps rising because of worrying about the company's affairs, is worried at the moment: "I think we should give up the ban on Netscape now, otherwise the situation will be very bad for us."

For his friends, Bill Gates was silent.

"Bill, you know, whether it is the Ministry of Justice, IBM, or some traditional financial capital forces, they are full of hostility and covetousness towards us. They are all waiting for us to make mistakes. As long as we make a wrong decision, they will act like a murderous Like other sharks, smelling blood, they swarmed to eat our flesh and drink our blood."

However, Gates, who looks quiet and elegant on the outside, looks like an old otaku, but inside he is an extremely powerful person.

After listening to Allen's words, Bill Gates looked contemptuously and said coldly: "Want to destroy our Microsoft? Don't think about it! The Ministry of Justice doesn't need to pay attention to it, it's just a bunch of jumping clowns. As for Netscape, it must continue to be blocked. Discussion, this matter is related to Microsoft's future strategic layout on the Internet, we must not back down half a step."

Bill Gates insisted on blocking Netscape. On the one hand, he could not tolerate the growth of Netscape through browsers, which would affect the promotion of IE browser and take away the profits that should belong to Microsoft.

On the other hand, this is also to scare chickens and monkeys.

After all, Netscape actually tried to get involved in the field of operating software. This is Gates' backlash, and whoever touches it will die.

At this moment, Ginny walked in with her waist twisted and her hips undulating.

Bill Gates doesn't like when another person interrupts him when he is talking with someone. Even with a straight face, his tone is even worse: "What's the matter?"

Panting heavily, Ginny replied timidly, "Boss, my computer has a virus."

Such a reason made Bill Gates very dissatisfied: "Just this little thing? Wouldn't you go to the technical department!"

Seeing Bill Gates get angry, Ginny felt aggrieved immediately: "Boss, I looked for it, but the technical department said they couldn't handle it."

"What? Can't even handle the technical department?"

Until then, Bill Gates' expression changed.

The entire Windows system is written by the technical department, and they know every line of code in it.

There is actually a computer virus that the technical department can't handle?
Bill Gates thought it was ridiculous.

It's like a carpenter who came to Lu Ban with an ax to show off his skills and abused Lu Ban into a dog. This is outrageous!
After being annoyed, Bill Gates became interested in the identity of the perpetrator.

He himself is a technical madman, Microsoft's original code, but he typed out letter by letter in the garage.

Therefore, Bill Gates has always believed that he is the person who knows the most about computer operating systems in the world.

Now someone actually installed an unsolvable virus in his system!

It has to be said that the other party's ability is not small, and he is even more courageous.

"How did your computer get poisoned?"

Bill Gates asked about the details with great interest.
