Chapter 260 The Impact of the Dream World

Chapter 260 The Impact of the Dream World

“John, you should really think this over carefully. The network system in Dream World is different from that in the game world. This is real high technology. If those guys from Japan get involved, it will affect the security of the United States!”

"I don't think so. Dreamworld and Nvidia are both American companies, and their R&D is all done in the US. How could their financing affect US security? You're overthinking it. And I would never allow my own interests to be harmed because of your concerns. That's impossible. Now that you two have seen all of this, I believe you also understand the capabilities of Dreamworld, Nvidia, and Bell Labs. Now is the time for you to prepare. When the Silicon Valley press conference begins, everything will be different."

Seeing that John still refused to compromise and accept their proposal, Morgan and Jimmy couldn't help but sigh. They couldn't force John to accept their opinions, nor did they have the right or the ability to do so. John wouldn't be influenced by them.

“Okay, that’s your prerogative. But John, once the Dreamworld launch event begins, everyone will be paying attention to Dreamworld and Nvidia. Isn’t a mere 15% stake a bit too little?”

"That's enough. Any more and my losses will be huge. You have to understand that Dream World and Nvidia are not short of funds, nor do they need financing. This is just an opportunity for everyone to invest. If you want more, I can only say I'm sorry, I can't do it."

"John, what are your plans for Global Online? As a network communications operator, it plays a crucial role, and everyone can see the company's potential. You need to prepare in advance."

"Global Online will not change, at least not for several years, or even longer. The market is far from open, and there is no need for financing or going public. We have completed the network setup and there is no pressure. We just need to wait for the personal computer to advance."

Seeing that John still showed no sign of compromising, Morgan sighed deeply. This was a new company, and a new company with immense potential. If John, this little fox, insisted on not raising funds, Morgan had no way to force him. If he continued to persuade him, it would only cause dissatisfaction. So he had no choice but to give up and take care of his immediate interests first. Even if he had any ideas about Global Online, he would have to wait until Dream World and Nvidia raised funds before he could think of a solution.

After concluding their visit to Hurricane Investment, Morgan acted immediately, and Dreamworld moved quickly as well. Once their New York sales department received Morgan's order, they soon began working feverishly. This time, Dreamworld's sales department was operating at full capacity; they wanted to transform Morgan into the best model, so everyone was mobilized to complete the transformation of Morgan in the shortest possible time.

Upon returning to Morgan Stanley, Jimmy and the Morgan Stanley executives lamented that although they had been somewhat prepared before taking action, they were still greatly shocked after witnessing Hurricane Investment's actions, leaving them feeling heavy-hearted. The upcoming fundraising for Dreamworld and Nvidia would present them with even greater challenges and competition from more people, and all their previous preparations would become a thing of the past.

"Jimmy, what do you think we should do? Continue to hide this and wait for the funding to start, or should we hold a meeting now and discuss countermeasures with those idiots?"

"Boss, the situation between Dream World and Nvidia has clearly changed dramatically. We must hold a board meeting now, even if it means leaking some secrets. Otherwise, we'll easily find ourselves in a passive position once the financing starts. After all, not everyone has the vision and the courage to do this."

“Alright, then go and inform them that none of them can be absent; this concerns Morgan’s interests!”

When Morgan Stanley began to act again, and when it accepted Dreamworld's network system, the entire Morgan Stanley organization and the entire Wall Street were shocked. There are no secrets on Wall Street; when Dreamworld staff came to provide on-site service and install the network system, the other Wall Street giants knew. Morgan Stanley's change sent shockwaves through Wall Street. Before they could even get detailed information from Morgan Stanley, the Silicon Valley launch event began. When Dreamworld unveiled its network system, all the reporters and industry professionals attending were stunned. No one had expected Dreamworld to create such a powerful network system. And when they learned that Morgan Stanley had accepted it, everyone present was shocked—that was Morgan Stanley.

The news quickly spread from Silicon Valley to the entire United States, and Wall Street soon found out. At this point, the Wall Street giants were cursing and swearing. It was clear that Morgan knew about it earlier than they did, and Morgan had already witnessed the existence of this system, which is why Morgan made the changes.

What exactly is the allure of this Dreamworld network system that captivated Morgan and convinced him to adopt it? This is something many Wall Street giants are eager to know. Unfortunately, they cannot, because Morgan has not yet completed the installation and testing of the system; they only learned about it from a launch event in Silicon Valley.

At this moment, the old guys from Rockefeller gathered again. This upheaval in Silicon Valley made them all feel the pressure. They realized that Dreamworld and Nvidia had a new product, and this product was related to finance. Morgan had already accepted it, which was what annoyed them the most.

"Damn Morgan! They've been deceiving us all along! They knew the Dream World's network system was complete, but they kept that a secret. They even secretly reached an agreement with Dream World. We need to get an explanation from them! Morgan clearly doesn't want us to know the real situation between Dream World and Nvidia. They want us out of this funding round. They're so insidious!"

"No, it's not that Morgan is cunning, but rather that our information wasn't up-to-date enough. Perhaps this is related to our previous plans. We were all focused on how to scheme against that little John, and didn't pay attention to the development of Dream World and Nvidia. We were also attracted by the new products that Nvidia and Dream World had previously launched, and didn't expect that their development would be so rapid. In fact, we should have thought of all this a long time ago. When Dream World's servers appeared, when they were vigorously promoting their servers, workstations, and minicomputers, we should have thought of all this. After all, when Game World was raising funds, the prototype of this system had already appeared. With Dream World's software development capabilities, how could it lag behind hardware development? We were too careless, and we can't blame Morgan."

"Indeed, this was our fault. We were too complacent. We knew the Dream World server had been successfully developed, but we failed to be vigilant. It was all our fault. However, there's one thing we overlooked: where did Morgan see this system? There's only one place in New York that could possibly be this place!"

"You mean Hurricane Investments? That bastard Morgan and John went to Hurricane Investments before. Did they just go to visit this network system? What were our people doing? How could they not have discovered all of this under their noses? They've failed in their duty. It's their incompetence that caused all this to happen?"

"Alright, now is not the time to assign blame, but to figure out what we should do. Right now, we know nothing about this network system and have no idea about its potential. Just the Silicon Valley launch event is not enough for us to make the right judgment. If that bastard Morgan wants to scheme against us all and starts fundraising ahead of time, we will be in trouble without any preparation and will follow in the footsteps of the gaming world!"

“John is still in New York, so we can contact him. We need to understand this network system, visit Hurricane Investment, and experience it firsthand. We also need to bring professionals to learn all about it in detail. We can't wait for Morgan's installation and debugging. What do you all think of my proposal?”

"I agree. Time is of the essence. If we don't want to be outmaneuvered by Morgan and miss this funding opportunity again, we must understand everything. Without understanding anything, we can't make the right choices. Don't forget the considerable price we paid before. If we miss this funding opportunity due to insufficient information, we'll become a laughing stock, a huge laughing stock, and Sikorsky will have lost everything."

“That’s right. We should contact John now and ask to visit Hurricane Investment. We have the right to know everything about Dream World’s network system. After all, we had an agreement with John regarding the Sikorsky deal, and he can’t hide anything from us. This is something we need to know!”

"Alright, since everyone agrees, let's put pressure on that little guy John and force him to accept our opinion. Only by truly understanding how powerful the Dream World's network system is can we make the right choice. We also need to speed up our previous plans and get that old man to act quickly. We don't have much time left to wait!"
