Tokyo Reborn: Dark Superstar

Chapter 146 Telegram
…………

....................................

After buying the tickets at Kadokawa Cinemas, there was still an hour and a half before the movie started.

Utada Hikaru took Liu Qianqian to the Internet cafe nearby.

Liu Qianqian rolled her eyes: "You also said you want to watch a movie. I think you just want to come to the Internet cafe to play on the computer."

"hey-hey."

Utada Hikaru smiled sheepishly and did not refute, but complained that both her agent and her father prohibited her from buying a computer.

After signing a contract with Takakura Bunta Studio, her guaranteed salary was very high. With her monthly salary, she could buy the latest IBM personal computer.

"They insist that this will delay my singing practice, but I can still watch TV without playing on the computer. It's your mother's open-mindedness that keeps you away from the entertainment industry and doesn't require you to sign with an agency..."

Two people requested a double room.

As a result, when I first logged into Telegram, the Telegram page that popped up was one-third fatter, and the extra part was a picture.

Users can exchange software and information through BBS. In the BBS of the 90s, not only computer enthusiasts, but also commercial BBS operators, environmental organizations, religious organizations and other interest groups also joined the ranks.

Liu Qianqian was stunned. She was looking at the entertainment industry news on the Yahoo portal. She came over and saw that it was the Beasts rock band, who was endorsing Telegram's entertainment group...

Telegram is an instant messaging software founded by the northern brothers Nikolai Durov and Pavel Durov. Users can exchange encrypted and self-destructing messages with each other, and send all types of files such as photos and videos.

There is Totland Investment Holdings Co., Ltd. on the homepage of Telegram, indicating that this software is an industry of Totland Investment Holdings Co., Ltd.

....................................

"Ah, Sissi, come and see, isn't this the band Beasts?"

Utada Hikaru turned on the computer and took the lead in logging into BBS. The full English name of BBS is Bulletin Board System, which is translated into Chinese as "sub-bulletin board".

Users can exchange encrypted and self-destructing messages with each other (similar to "burn after reading"), and send all types of files, including photos and videos.

…………

After Totland Investment Holdings Co., Ltd. acquired Telegram, it also purchased the last batch of domestically produced servers from Northland from the Lebedev Institute of Precision Instruments and Computer Engineering, and secretly placed them in 25 places around the world.

The BBS of this era were the same as the general bulletin boards on the streets and campuses, except that they were used to spread or obtain information through computers.

"Recently, a software called Telegram has emerged in schools. Many students whose families have the conditions have signed up, and some have even started to compete with each other in terms of the number of friends."

…………

"The Band of Beasts?"

Utada Hikaru saved a lot of classmates' Telegram accounts this week, and planned to take advantage of the opportunity to add them all in one go.

Just browse BBS systems around the world and you will find that they are almost like local TV stations, with many tricks.

Utada Hikaru quickly downloaded the installation package of Telegram through the BBS Tokyo Computer Computer Enthusiast Group.

Gao Cangbunta made a call to Colonel Shaokegu and spent only 100 million rubles to acquire this software that would have 9 million users in the future.

In previous lives, the evolution history of Beiguo's server architecture can be traced back to the late 50s.

At that time, Northland space scientists designed the first electronic computer, M-1. With the continuous advancement of technology, the server architecture was also constantly improved and developed.

In the mid-20s, Northland's CPU architecture was completely comparable to that of the United States. However, Northland during the shock therapy period made it impossible for the Lebedev Institute of Precision Instruments and Computer Engineering to achieve profitability.

What's even worse is the offensive of American NGOs in the field of public opinion...

…………

In 1997, mainstream newspapers and magazines such as Kommersant, Kommersant, and Pravda in the North, as well as established media such as BBC, CNN, and Reuters, published reports on Lebedev’s research on precision instruments and computer engineering. The institute’s self-developed server project has been extensively reported.

"Anyone with common sense knows that it is absurd for a country to develop its entire industry..."

"A person makes a lot of money just so he can spend a lot of money. It would be a fool to never spend a lot of money and still work hard to make a lot of money."

“The Lebedev Institute of Precision Instruments and Computer Engineering’s self-developed servers are not in line with the spirit of the Internet nor in line with world trends.”

"For individuals or ordinary businesses, it may be the right choice to buy instead of build, because the goal of individuals and businesses is to pursue the maximum profit in the shortest time."

"It's hard work. We will have pensions, villas and vodka, but not servers. Have you ever seen an IBM server? It is the most advanced technological product in the world, the industrial pearl of mankind. The one in the Engineering Research Institute is far behind. No, it’s better to rent, the rent is only..."

"What's the use of messing around? The current GDP per capita in the North cannot be compared with the Four Little Dragons, not even the Four Little Tigers Thailand, and the Four Little Rats are about the same... What kind of server are you using? Can it change people's income levels? Dreaming Bar……"

In this atmosphere of public opinion, six months later, Northland's National Economic Strategy Management Committee made a decision to sell the Lebedev Institute of Precision Instruments and Computer Engineering to Qualcomm.

The most popular groups on Telegram, led by the Beasts Rock Band, are entertainment groups from various countries.

Ranked second is the Persian domestic group. Mimihaji PMC Company is recruiting troops in the Gayan area to form the Gayan militia.

Six battalions of troops, with superior Soviet weapons and equipment.

…………

The NGO organization West Asia Earthquake Relief Foundation has invested 10 billion yen in post-disaster reconstruction work in the Ghaya area of ​​Khorasan in northern Persia.

However, the chaotic local order made the West Asia Earthquake Relief Foundation urgently need a strong security team, so it hired the newly established Mimihaji PMC Company.

…………

The Mimihaki PMC Company hired a local contractor from the Kerman Provincial Water Conservancy Agency, Suraniman, as the commander of the Gayan militia.

This also received the tacit approval of the top Persian officials, because in September last year, the neighboring Taqat organization captured Kabul, the capital of Afghanistan, and established power.

In October this year, Afghanistan changed its name to the "Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan".

The two sides have conflicts and conflicts on the border, especially in the Gayan area after the big earthquake. There were some small-scale exchanges of fire between the two sides...

…………

In addition to these mainstream entertainment, economic, and political groups.

Telegram also has a trading advisory function.

For example, a rich man who graduated from the Department of Economics and Management of Riyadh University and claims to own several companies involving many industries such as construction, petroleum, manufacturing, and gemstones. His personal property is estimated to be in the billions of dollars. His ID is "Ben" and he is purchasing pilot training materials. .

Especially related information about Boeing 767-233ER...
