The Goddess Shines on America

"Good afternoon, friends from the media."

Today, Alice chose a very special dress. The black thin sweater and jeans dress was very rare for her in the past: "The second news I want to announce on behalf of Microsoft is a conspiracy."

It can be said that the words are not surprising, and the reporters who were just thinking about what Alice would say, all their hearts stopped.

However, Alice didn't take everyone's thoughts into consideration at all: "It's a conspiracy by IBM against us Microsoft."

With just two sentences, the initial effect has already been achieved.

If we say that when Gates was preaching according to the scriptures, the silence of the reporters in the audience was busy writing a press release, but when Alice finished speaking, the only situation at the press conference was the hundreds of pairs of eyes. There was a dumbfounded look, and a dead silence.

"Looking back at the process of Microsoft's preparation for listing, many people in the financial industry are very impressed. After all, relevant news has never been interrupted."

"The entire IPO lasted for a while, because Bill had already had the idea of ​​going public. When I joined Microsoft, the related work had already started."

"The public has always expressed expectations for Microsoft's listing. This point, everyone in the industry should also know. I remember that the "Wall Street Journal" conducted a survey last month to collect public expectations for Microsoft's listing. This One, Mr. Wall Street Journal, Mr. Oroben-Dorney on his badge, am I right?"

A beautiful middle school girl named a reporter at the press conference of a listed company. The person stood up, faced the microphones that were passed around him instantly, and smiled wryly: "That's right, and more than 80% of the people said that they especially Looking forward to the day when Microsoft goes public."

"Very good, please sit down."

Alice finished speaking briefly, and then said: "Then the question is, why did no one care about Microsoft, which has been highly anticipated by the public, during the call auction stage on the day of listing, so that the original issue price of 21 US dollars has been falling all the way, and it cannot be bought?" Don't open at eight cents?"

The girl who spoke spoke very fast, but there was an obvious pause after each paragraph. The audience was still silent except for three or two cameras at work, and there were no camera flashes. More than 100 people in the audience were hurrying to write press releases.

"Today is March 12th, and the press conference was announced on March 7th. In the past few days... I know what has been rumored in the industry, about whether I am the same as Alice Wang from the entertainment industry. People's gossip, well, this point is now clear."

There was a burst of laughter from the audience, yes, there are too many news today, it is obviously about the financial sector, now the entertainment section can also be inserted. Even if the audience is almost all people from the financial industry, why not do two articles by one person, and by the way, the entertainment industry below?

"In the past few days, the reason why I didn't take the initiative to show up to answer public opinion is not to avoid suspicion or pretend to be mysterious, but because I am working with the FBI to conduct a thorough investigation of the auction on the first day."

It's really a posture of not surprising and endlessly talking.

Seeing the reporters who hadn't finished laughing, they were choked instantly. Standing in the audience, Gates, Allen, Ballmer and others all had gloating smiles on their faces.

As for the reporters...

FBI?

Why did you suddenly involve the dignified FBI?

Many people immediately remembered what Alice said when she took the stage, IBM's conspiracy?

Competitors in the business world will stumble each other, which is normal, and even the existence of commercial espionage itself is the best proof. For this kind of thing, most of the reporters present were visitors from the big-name media, even if Big Blue really tripped Microsoft, they wouldn't be surprised.

But in just a few days, why did Microsoft invite the FBI to assist in the investigation?

This seems to be another detail that can be described emphatically. Many people immediately wrote down the three big letters of "FBI" in their notebooks and circled them with red pen.

"Based on our investigation, that was the situation at the time."

Alice first reminded everyone that the main event is coming.

As a result, hundreds of reporters in the audience stared at each other, eager to use drugs to lift their spirits.

"As the oldest commercial computer manufacturer, IBM's computers will be sold on the NASDAQ exchange. It couldn't be simpler. The transaction date was in October last year. Coincidentally, it may have been premeditated , when the NASDAQ exchange bought Cisco Systems' routers, that is, two months later, IBM also bought Cisco routers."

"The order records at that time showed that the Nasdaq Exchange was a completely normal commercial purchase to upgrade the current network structure of the exchange. As for IBM, it is more subtle, they only purchased 20 units , and they bought the old model when the new one was only a month old..."

"Is it because IBM hates new things? Obviously not. In October, the Nasdaq Exchange bought Cisco routers in large quantities. At the end of November, Cisco Systems launched new models. In mid-December, IBM released new models. No, buying 20 older models is something worth pondering in itself."

"Following this line of thought, after investigation by professionals and the administrative cooperation of the FBI, we have obtained enough evidence to prove that this is IBM's malicious competition against Microsoft!"

Shocking words were uttered one after another. Among the hundreds of reporters in the audience, someone finally couldn't sit still, and immediately stood up and shouted: "Can you provide evidence!?"

God, halal, this is super heavy news!

"Mr. Gates, please provide the evidence!"

"Can Ms. Wang be responsible for her own words? Are you really speaking on behalf of Microsoft now?"

"Excuse me, Miss Wang..."

"Quiet! Please be quiet!"

Seeing the out-of-control rhythm of the audience, Gates immediately ran up, holding the microphone and said: "Please be patient, everyone, Alice is indeed speaking on behalf of Microsoft, everyone..."

"May I ask why Ms. Wang directly throws out the name of Cisco Systems? Although you are investigating along this line, the premise is that you know that the exchange and IBM have traded with Cisco, right? May I ask you..."

"Alice, how did you become a shareholder of Microsoft!? From the perspective of time, does the launch of Windows 1.0 have something to do with you!?"

"Alice, you're a writer, you're a director, you're a screenwriter, and now you're..."

Gates' words were completely submerged in the sound waves, as if the scene had entered the free questioning session, almost all of the hundreds of reporters were boiling, who cares about his two words?

"Please be quiet, so we can't continue...Alice?"

Alice snatched the microphone away.

Put your mouth into the microphone.

Take a deep breath.

"SHUT-UPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!!"

Buzz………………………

The audio at the press conference was groaning.

Harry on the edge of the venue covered his ears in pain, and so did many people watching the excitement around him.

A group of birds flew out from a small wood in the distance, singing and flying into the distance.

Seeing that the scene had successfully quieted down, Alice smiled coldly and added another sentence into the microphone.

"Damn it, I have to force my old lady to use more tricks."

Well, to the effect.

Seeing that everyone was quiet, Gates stepped off the stage neatly, leaving Alice to continue hosting the press conference.

"Of course there is evidence, but it's not going to be presented at a press conference, but I can tell you about the process."

After giving everyone a breather, Alice said: "The most important thing IBM lacks is programmers. Through some extraordinary means, they used Cisco routers as the medium to successfully transfer from the IBM headquarters in Acmon, New York. , directly hacked into the NASDAQ exchange in Washington, DC, and controlled Microsoft's call auction data before the opening!"

If you say that after the sentence just now ended, it caused an uproar in the audience.

After this sentence was over, the audience was once again dead silent.

Alice knew that these reporters would not be able to digest this kind of thing for a while, so she gave them more than ten seconds to relax.

"This is why the FBI will intervene. According to some of the evidence we submitted, IBM has obviously been involved in a crime, and it is by no means as simple as an ordinary individual crime. After the FBI officially intervened and obtained the cooperation of the exchange, the follow-up obtained The evidence is the above news."

"This is a very dangerous behavior!"

"The point is not at all that Microsoft's call auction was modified!"

"It's that IBM has the ability to hack the Nasdaq exchange and change the stock market data, and they have done so!"

"Just imagine, today, they invaded Nasdaq, so what about tomorrow!?"

"New York!"

"Los Angeles!"

"London Stock Exchange!"

"And Japan, South Korea, and Hong Kong!"

"Once there will be countless times. Without our listing, if I didn't discover their intrusion, global finance may be controlled by IBM!"

"This is simply the germ of an unprecedented crime!"

The high-pitched speeches made countless reporters in the audience even more excited, and how many people even blushed and had thick necks!

After taking a short breath, Alice's voice softened a lot: "Microsoft will soon launch a lawsuit against IBM for this incident, and the FBI will also punish the company. The above is the second news. Now enter the scene for free question and answer, If you want to ask anything, just ask."

Now, Alice offered to ask the reporters to ask questions freely, but everyone was dumb instead.

There was a dead silence.

There are so many shocking news, it is dizzying.

Finally, a reporter from the Los Angeles Times spoke tremblingly.

"May I ask Miss Alice, how did you know about the purchase of Cisco routers by both of them?"

Alice grinned.

"Oh, this, of course, because I am the boss of Cisco!"
