After finally having a few days of leisure in front of the supervisor, he now had to go on a business trip to the United States. Li Yiwen couldn't help but complain: "Hey, I just have to work hard."

Then, he asked: "Tell me, which stock?"

Lu Yiming said: "va linux."

After listening, Li Yiwen quickly took out his notebook from his arms and looked through it. Sure enough, he saw va linux on one of the pages.

"This company hasn't been listed yet, and haven't you obtained a lot of original shares of va linux through investment and secret acquisitions before?"

Lu Yiming said with a smile: "Of course you have to speculate in stocks, but you can't eat them raw, right? That's so unhygienic."

Li Yiwen immediately understood what Lu Yiming meant: "You want me to go to the United States to help speculate on this stock?"

"Do you think too highly of your cousin and me? I can't say that I'm not familiar with the place there, but I really don't have that much ability."

Lu Yiming smiled and said, "Don't worry, there will be someone willing to help you?"

Li Yiwen asked: "Who? Bill Gates or your maternal uncle?"

Lu Yiming said: "Peng Mingsheng is currently an executive of IBM."

Li Yiwen searched for this name in his mind and found that he had no impression of it at all.

"Chinese?"

"What Chinese? His real name is Samuel Palmisano. He is a pure foreigner. He just took a Chinese name."

"..."

Li Yiwen thought for a long time and suddenly said: "When did you hook up with people from IBM? I didn't see you in private contact with IBM when you went to the United States."

Lu Yiming had a calm expression on his face: "There are close friends in the world, but there are no neighbors in the world. I have always loved making friends."

Li Yiwen revealed it mercilessly: "I think you like to cause trouble. I heard that the relationship between Microsoft and IBM is very bad now. Didn't you get along with Bill Gates? Now you are involved with IBM.

Together, it’s clear that we are riding in two different boats.”

"Nonsense, am I that kind of person? Your words are simply slandering my character!"

Lu Yiming obviously couldn't accept Li Yiwen's evaluation of him, and he still spoke plausibly.

"Can businessmen's affairs be called hooking up? Yes, I have some friendship with Old Bill, but does this prevent me from doing business with IBM? Don't have such a narrow vision, okay? The situation needs to be opened up. Open up, open up

,ok?”

Li Yiwen: "..."

Okay, I hope Bill Gates won't be so angry when he finds out about this.

"What should I do after I go to the United States?"

In fact, this is to ask what is the focus of the company va linux’s promotion. After all, advertising has to be meaningful. You can’t just find a star holding a guitar and singing: va linux is good, va linux is good

Bar?

What does this sound like?

In this regard, Lu Yiming had a mature plan for a long time, and immediately said: "The biggest feature of va Linux is that it is free, has open source code, and can be freely copied, modified and disseminated..."

Regarding the technical schools and principles of software, Li Yiwen was confused by what he heard, and quickly asked Lu Yiming to stop: "Stop, I don't understand these, you are talking in human language!"

Lu Yiming had to change his mind and said: "In 1991, Linus Torvalds, a 21-year-old student at the University of Helsinki in Finland, accidentally created the little toy Linux. Now, we are going to use it to launch an overthrow.

A crusade for operational software supremacy.”

Li Yiwen was confused when he heard this: "What the hell is launching a holy war?"

Lu Yiming was talking so excitedly that he immediately stopped and said, "Cousin, please don't interrupt and continue to listen to me."

"Isn't the United States known as the beacon of freedom and democracy? The operating software market is now dominated by one company. Microsoft, which sits on the throne, frequently wields the stick of sanctions. This is how Netscape died. Is this freedom? Is this democracy?

As a Xia national, I can’t stand it anymore, you know?”

Li Yiwen retorted weakly: "Well, Netscape is not dead yet."

"That's not important. What's the crux of the issue now? I'm discussing freedom and democracy with you."

Li Yiwen took a long breath.

"Not to mention that we are from Xia, and we should not care about the messy affairs of the United States. The key point is that Microsoft was founded by your good friend Bill Gates, right? You were drinking and chatting together a few months ago, and now you plan to

It’s just a matter of flirting with IBM, Microsoft’s enemy, but you still want to dig into someone’s ancestral grave?”

After saying a lot just now, Li Yiwen finally understood. Lu Yiming planned to use the free software va linux to challenge Microsoft's operating software dominance!

What's the difference between this and digging into Bill Gates' ancestral grave?

Even for an old man who regards wealth as his life, digging up his ancestor's grave is not a big deal, after all, it doesn't cost much to rebury it.

But if we really want va linux to break Microsoft's monopoly, will Microsoft still be Microsoft?

Li Yiwen advised: "Calm down. Doing this kind of thing is very risky and the benefits are unclear. There is no need to offend Bill Gates for a small amount of money."

You are still in the honeymoon period right now.

Lu Yiming replied calmly: "If the operation goes well this time, we can earn at least two billion US dollars."

"How many????"

"Two billion dollars."

"Fuck! Fuck you!"

Li Yiwen immediately changed his mind. If he could really make 2 billion U.S. dollars, what if he dug up Bill Gates' ancestral grave? Who in this world has a grudge against money?

Lu Yiming laughed and said: "That's right. When doing business, never talk to foreigners about friendship. If there is a chance to cheat me, do you think Bill Gates will be merciful to me?"

Although he said that, Li Yiwen quickly calmed down and asked in confusion: "Can VA Linux really shake Microsoft's hegemony?"

Lu Yiming smiled contemptuously: "What are you thinking about? How is this possible?"

Today's Microsoft is already invincible.

After all, Microsoft's operating software ecosystem has taken shape. If any software of the same type wants to compete with it, it will not be an enemy of Microsoft, but an enemy of software developers around the world!

Only in the future, ios and Android will find a new way and rely on smartphones, a new hardware port that is different from PC computers, to break Microsoft's monopoly and successfully break the soil and become the king.

"Then why are you fussing?"

After hearing this, Li Yiwen couldn't help but roll his eyes at Lu Yiming, his body trembled, and he felt that everything suddenly felt boring.

The old god Lu Yiming said on the ground: "As long as the hoe is wielded well, there is no corner that can't be dug down. Now Microsoft has just become the general trend and formed a barrier. It is of course impossible to dig it down all at once. The rope saw the wood and the water dripped through the stone.

Well, if it doesn't work for one day, we can do it for two days, if it doesn't work for one year, we can do it for two years. I am not yet twenty years old this year, and Bill Gates is already forty-five years old this year."

"Good guy, you can live longer than anyone else, right?"

Lu Yiming was noncommittal and said: "Opportunities are waiting for them."

"Okay, then I'll leave tomorrow."

"Can't you leave now?"
