Chapter 205 Big Blue’s Hammer

Lin Shenhe, nicknamed Langli Baitiao.

——Of course, he is just an ordinary gangster on the streets of Hong Kong.

In 1967, chaos arose on the streets of Hong Kong.

Various underworld organizations are rampant in this era.

Lin Shenhe's biggest dream in his life is to take his sister out of the Kowloon Walled City and live in a high-rise building on Hong Kong Island.

Therefore, he has always worked hard, and now, he is also the backbone of the "Yi Qun" - which he calls himself. At least, he has a group of brothers below him who call him "Big Brother" and "Brother Shenhe".

In fact, what Lin Shenhe yearns for most is to become a policeman, and then collect money and profit in a cool way, instead of working as hard as he does now.

But since I am on the dark side, I can only go to the dark side.

But the task assigned to him today... Lin Shenhe was really difficult to handle.

"Fei Bo..." He said this person's name almost through gritted teeth.

And this person is the person Lin Shenhe is about to kidnap and take to the top.

But this guy actually hired foreign bodyguards

"Boss, it's difficult to handle... there are people from Umbrella."

At this time, many people in Hong Kong were actually refugees. They didn’t know much English. When they saw “umbrella” every day, they directly transliterated it and called the umbrella “Umbrella”.

Although gangs are rampant in Hong Kong, there will never be any trouble for gangs to find foreigners.

Especially the members of the Umbrella Company, most of them are American veterans who came off the Vietnam battlefield.

Veterans have always been unpopular, poor and down-and-out in the United States.

Therefore, after Catherine's umbrella company appeared, the veterans seemed to see hope.

Especially the generous benefits and protection provided by umbrella companies.

Lin Shenhe frowned.

"How about... let's lure those foreign devils away first?" a younger brother suggested.

"Well, that's it."

They are now in a hotel, and Fei Bo is sitting on the other side of the hotel, chatting and laughing with others.

Not only this, but the most important thing was that beside him stood four bodyguards who they regarded as foreign devils.

Based on Lin Shenhe's many years of experience on the road, these four bodyguards are definitely not ordinary people. Just their hawk-like eyes make people feel intimidated. This kind of sharp feeling is not something ordinary people like Lin Shenhe can match.

Looking at each other.

Although they are veterans, in fact, these employees have also received special training. After all, modern society is not a battlefield, and the first thing they have to do is to protect others, not to go out and kill the enemy.

"that is it."

Lin Shenhe has already made plans.

But at this time, a group of people suddenly walked towards Fei Bo.

Lin Shenhe suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

One of them suddenly put his hand into his shirt.

At the same time, an employee of the umbrella suddenly stepped forward and punched the person. The other two people also walked over, and the remaining person protected "Fei Bo".

Behind him.

Lin Shenhe didn't expect such a thing to happen.

"Bang"

There was a gunshot, but it didn't hurt anyone, and the bullet flew to nowhere.

"ah"

There were screams all around, and then people started to run away in a panic.

"Lie down, lie down"

There was actually another group of people, and they even had guns.

Lin Shenhe and others, who had just prepared to rush out, could only lie down.

At this time, Lin Shenhe, who was overly nervous, discovered that his abdomen was actually dyed red.

This group of people...want to kill people and silence them?

No wonder Feibo hires foreigners to protect himself.

"ah"

Suddenly, the man who had just held the gun was knocked down by the security guard's electric shock device.

Because Hong Kong does not allow guns to be carried, the security personnel here are equipped with electric shock devices. Even if it is illegal, the punishment will not be too serious.

"Bang bang"

Several other gunmen were quickly subdued. Although they fired, their hands were held away by security personnel. Fortunately.

However, Lin Shenhe, who was lying down, whimpered a few more times. The bullet just now... hit him again.

The Umbrella members had already dealt with the gunmen at this time, but they came towards this side.

"No? We've been discovered?"

"Boss, let's escape"

The voices of his subordinates were all trembling.

However, their boss, Lin Shenhe, remained silent.

"I've been shot...quickly, help me up..."

Lin Shenhe gritted his teeth.

However, his men ran away without even looking at him...

At this time, members of the Umbrella Company who were cleaning the battlefield finally discovered Lin Shenhe who had been shot.

"It's over..."

Lin Shenhe guessed that he had been regarded as an accomplice of the gunman.

"Sister...brother, I have to take the first step..."

This last thought flashed through Lin Shenhe's mind, and then he passed out...

…

Things in Hong Kong have just happened. Catherine in Noah, the headquarters of Ark, is quite comfortable designing games for new consoles and computers.

How about developing a Red Alert game...?

Catherine thought this idea seemed very good.

The first thing she thought of was this game.

The game can completely use 2D rendering. Although the effect may be terrible, compared with current games, it has huge advantages.

After all, there are no real-time strategy games yet.

But because of this, Catherine is not sure whether such a game will be popular.

By the way, there is also "Magic Tower".

This game is good.

Even if it is an 8-bit computer, it is completely feasible. Why not design a magic tower yourself?

But soon, Catherine thought of what kind of game she should design - "Metal Gear Solid".

"Metal Gear Solid" first appeared on Japanese computers.

The PC was a very early type of personal computer that was very popular in Japan and was still used by people in the 21st century.

This kind of game is an 8-bit machine like the Microsoft II computer, and historically it has used the z80 as its core.

——Although the two z80s are actually not the same...

This game is very popular in Japan, Europe and the United States, and is definitely a classic among classics.

Moreover, such a game is very suitable for the background of the Cold War. You can definitely develop this game yourself.

That's right, this is it

Today's game development costs are not too high, so Catherine can create games at will.

Without funds, nothing can be accomplished.

In Catherine's company, there is still a lot of capital flow, but all of it is used for fiber optics. Catherine must complete the construction of the east-west fiber optic network within a year.

Catherine's remaining funds were all used to invest in CPU research and maintain other research departments.

As the research in various technical departments deepens, Catherine has to invest more and more money. This is why Catherine wants to get involved in the oil market. Making an occasional profit can greatly make her own funds abundant.

.

"No, Miss Edson"

Sanders almost ran to Catherine's office and barged in without knocking.

"IBM announced the development of personal computers..."

Catherine was stunned for a moment.

"Relax, Sanders, and talk slowly."

As the core of the company, Catherine must remain calm.

"What happened?" she asked.

"IBM announced that it will invest 1 billion US dollars in the research of personal computers, which will adopt a completely different architecture from our Microsoft II computer... and 1 billion US dollars is still preliminary."

Catherine was stunned for a moment.

"1000000000?"

Are you kidding me...the federal government's order for itself is only 1 billion.

Sanders nodded seriously.

"Convene a meeting immediately and call all the management to the conference room."

Catherine stood up immediately.

Soon, everyone gathered in the conference room, and then Sanders informed everyone of the decision I had made.

"How about suing IBM?"

Olson seemed unaware of the problem.

"Yes...but I'm afraid this will be a long process..." Sanders has obviously analyzed it.

Catherine added: "I am afraid that IBM will use delaying methods, which will be in danger for us."

Obviously, Watson Jr. has made up his mind to enter the personal computer market. Even if he cannot occupy the market, he will bring down Catherine.

The blue giant was angry.

They can no longer stand failure. IBM will use its huge capital chain to completely crush Ark.

IBM, which has a lot of money, has that strength.

After the 1970s, they usually spent billions on big projects. Compared to "small" companies like Catherine who had to allocate tens of millions on their fingers...the two sides are indeed incomparable.

of.

The storm is about to come, and this sentence is the most appropriate to describe the current situation.

"Should we release the news about the Pentium computer in advance?" Olson tried to say.

"No, I definitely want us to do this. If we do this, it is very likely that we will be playing into our own hands. It is absolutely impossible for us to let the other party know our next plan, especially the graphical operation interface... Sanders, which one do you choose?

senior technicians, and then form a team, and the graphical operation interface must be kept confidential."

Catherine gave the order.

"Sanders, Separately, Plans to Acquire Laser Instruments Company Aborted."

This plan is too unfeasible. After all, this plan requires hundreds of millions of funds and can only acquire a small company. But now, this is obviously impossible.

In that case...the only option is to cooperate.

"Sanders, see if you can get in touch with Hughes. Maybe we can cooperate on lasers... If it doesn't work, we can share the optical drive cake with them... But the standards must always be in our hands.

inside."

money

Or money

IBM just throws money at it without any reason

They don't care about anything else at all, they are just preparing to use that endless sea of ​​funds to swamp their own company...
