What the hell is a private enterprise?

Chapter 286 Speculation (3600 monthly votes in April)

Sometimes, you don't know or know where your potential lies until you push it.

When Lao Zhang used reverse psychology, Tang Wen immediately revealed a whole bunch of classified information and countless high-end equipment.

Tang Wen's provocation made Lao Zhang fear losing an important source of technical equipment.

When the amount of chips reaches a certain level, quantitative change leads to qualitative change.

By the time he was about to leave, the notes in his hand had almost all become sales guide materials.

Not only does it offer a complete range of services from land, sea, and air, but it also boasts excellent quantity and price. The only downside is that it's easy to overspend.

It's not that these equipment are particularly suitable; the key is that China has nothing and is backward in everything, so people can't resist anything that's advanced.

Moreover, the domestic air force is notorious for its fickle nature and love to change indicators to match advanced foreign standards. How could it resist this list?
Think about the businesses that Gekin is pushing: military equipment and oil. It's practically a typical complex military-industrial conglomerate, a super trust!
Furthermore, they have deep roots in the West, readily acquiring various equipment and readily copying materials whenever they request them.

This level of Sharingan skill is comparable to that of the old master back in the day.

As Old Zhang was thinking, he suddenly stopped in his tracks:
Could it be that Lao Xi really escaped his predicament and then, together with Hans who was defeated in the Nanyang war, they created some mysterious organization?
Upon closer examination, only Hans, with his superior technology and large number of elite workers, could have orchestrated such a massive operation, and with countless Hans descendants penetrating various secret institutions.

Gasteib, Gaykin?

……

Because the town was crowded during the day, Tang Wen simply went to Gaijin Network Company in the city, where the internet was the fastest and most stable, perfect for surfing the web.

As usual, I checked a few foreign news websites, and after scanning the headlines, Tang Wen translated them word by word:

"Prism Building Invites Geng Bing to the US to Receive Award"

Translate it again, it's correct.

That open letter was incredibly powerful in the eyes of the US, directly leading to Zhang Siyuan's escape back to China, the swift passage of the Antarctic Armed Forces Act, and even garnering sympathy from across the country.

Following that open letter, not only did public intellectuals in China echo its sentiments, but many naive yet insightful college students also wrote letters to express their condolences, which was truly touching.

Meanwhile, toy stores across the country have sold out of Iowa-level models in recent days, and have spontaneously held many commemorative events.

The well-known hawk Geng Bing was quickly recognized as a friendly person by Prism Building, who even created a "Prism Building Freedom Award" for him and invited him to join some shady association and issue him a green card.

The news had just been posted online. Tang Wen didn't know if Geng Bing was happy about it, but the other public intellectuals in China were definitely green with envy.

Although the news is interesting, the website layouts abroad are incredibly bad these days; even future undergraduate students learning web design will be better than this.

Tang Wen directly summoned Song Nan and launched into a long, rambling speech:
“It’s too troublesome to click through these foreign news websites every time. Let’s create a portal website and use web crawlers to crawl and display the headlines of various news articles. This way, people can see the news as soon as they log in to our portal website and then click through to the page without having to type it in repeatedly. Simply put, it’s similar to Yahoo, but we want to do it better.”

"Based on web crawlers, we're also trying to create our own search engine. Although there are very few web pages now, the BBS has already accumulated a considerable database for us. We'll try to use keywords to provide content search for users."

"It's too complicated to make translation plugins for browsers now. Let's try making a small local web translation software... Hmm, or let's just make a browser and use portal websites, search engines, and web page translation as our selling points, and try to reduce bandwidth requirements by building in a dictionary."

"If a browser is too complex and not user-friendly, try integrating it all into a portal website to provide online services."

"How's QQ's instant messaging going? Let's get the web version out first; that's the most user-friendly way."

"besides……"

As Tang Wen spoke, Song Nan frantically took notes in her notebook.

He figured out this young boss: he always had all sorts of strange but novel and promising ideas in his head, and most importantly, he had the money to implement them.

Gaijin Network has already lost more than 60 million yuan, but it has not asked to realize profits. The entire network company is focused on researching technology, almost like doing charity.

With Tang Wen's casual investment, Gaijin Network has become one of the top network service providers in China, with more than 100 full-time employees.

Although it incurred losses, it achieved leapfrog development and is now not much worse than foreign countries.

Once QQ and a search engine integrated with BBS databases are developed, it will almost certainly surpass those of foreign counterparts. Tang Wen is like an ever-shining sun in the desert of the internet, guiding the way to an oasis!

After outlining the entire workload for 97 in one go, Tang Wencai reluctantly shut up and casually said:
"Let's leave it at that for now. This is all the current internet technology can do. Further improvements will have to come from hardware upgrades."

Song Nan: 9 (6 flipped, from Tang Jia Da Shao's collection of internet slang)
The office became quiet again, and Tang Wen continued browsing the news. A moment later, he came across another article:
Luzon and Holland plan to form an investigation team to investigate the Sierra Madre mountain fire.

Tang Wen frowned, realizing that the monkey was still somewhat restless.

He thought for a while and felt that he couldn't always just deal with things passively; he had to find something for the monkey to do.

What's One Piece up to lately?

……

"Damn, this chicken is even skinnier than a pigeon!"

"You're lucky to have anything to eat. How about I trade you this fish? I feel like throwing up just looking at fish right now."

"Get out of here!"

"..."

An unnamed island.

In the valley at the heart of the island, elites from more than fifty community groups were having a simple dinner.

Wang Hu sat on the roof of a stilted wooden house, impatiently swatting a mosquito to death.

This island used to be inhabited by some natives, and there were a dozen or so dilapidated wooden houses on it. Now it has been renovated into a pirate base.

Because it has little economic or tourism value, it is almost uninhabited for hundreds of kilometers offshore.

After settling here, submarines or seaplanes will regularly deliver various supplies and weapons to help them quickly stabilize again.

Freed from domestic constraints, Wang Hu finally saw the light.

M3 grease guns, M2 Lao Gan Ma chili sauce, Thomson typewriters, and even 76mm cannons salvaged from submarines.

In addition, the seaplanes that land are not recovered; they are all kept for their use.

In just one week since he arrived, he had amassed 10 seaplanes and equipped each man with a long and short weapon.

Although none of his men knew how to fly a plane, Wang Hu had them use seaplanes as boats, managing to sail all the way to Santa Maria City, where they swiftly wiped out the local gangs.

Because his foundation was still weak, he still regarded this place as his stronghold, only sending his underlings up there periodically to collect protection money.

A dozen or so local Chinese who had been bullied also joined in, and the group was beginning to grow stronger.

However, the problems of exclusion by local powerful clans and suppression by indigenous officials cannot be ignored, especially after a person with connections named Suha was transferred here, and there are already rumors that a large ship of several hundred tons will be mobilized to capture them.

Moreover, the material conditions here are far inferior to those in China. It is only the initial enthusiasm of newcomers that keeps people's hearts at ease. If this continues for too long, things will inevitably change.

However, Tang Wen's next instructions and support were delayed, which made him somewhat worried.

"Ding Ding Ding Ding"

Upon hearing the satellite phone, Wang Hu snapped out of his daze and quickly answered it.

"Old Wang, are you on the island? Come to the north beach, my submarine will be here soon!"
