Chapter 158 Bill, show some sincerity
"Do we need such a large investment in R&D in the future?" Tan Na asked in a low voice after a long time.
Her living habits over the years told her that Lin Zheng’s approach to using other people’s products to make money with the help of loopholes in his hands is extremely bad, and it is almost the same as extortion.
But Reason told her again that this is the easiest and effective way for Lisheng Electronics to solve the procurement funds for this stn-lcd production line in front of her. Lin Zheng did not put a knife on Microsoft's neck. His boyfriend grasped the loopholes in Microsoft's products. Microsoft was willing to spend money to buy the things that his boyfriend had mastered. Everyone was willing to fight and the other was willing to be beaten. This is a normal situation. Didn't Microsoft ask those software engineers to help them test the operating system for them to find out the problems in the system? Why did they get blackmailed?
No wonder Lin Zheng suddenly became much calmer a few days before coming to the United States. Did he start planning to "extort" Microsoft at that time?
When the little girl thought of this, she felt much calmer. Thinking that the foreign exchange problem that had been bothering Lisheng Electronics was solved, Tan Na relaxed.
…………………………………………
Bill Gates did attach great importance to the three loopholes that Lin Zheng provided to them.
If it weren't for Angelber's handover, Bill Gates might not even look at Lin Zheng's e-mail, but Angelber's handover was equivalent to indirectly preparing books for the Chinese software engineer who discovered these three vulnerabilities, so he could not help but ignore it. If only one of the vulnerabilities is serious, Bill Gates could have smiled, but the three vulnerabilities described by Lin Zheng in e-mail actually appeared. According to the trigger conditions provided by the Chinese engineer, the three vulnerabilities caused system crashes and security crises without exception. This is a fatal one. Who dares to use an operating system that crashes and is prone to invasion and is as numerous as a sieve?
What made Bill Gates even more terrified was what Lin Zheng said in e-mail that these three vulnerabilities were only three of the more serious vulnerabilities he discovered. There were more than 30 vulnerabilities of all sizes... Although Bill Gates was very suspicious of Lin Zheng's words, there were three vulnerabilities ahead. He had no choice but to treat them unscrupulously.
Lin Zheng didn't know that after Bill Gates got on the plane, he kept talking to Angelber to learn more about the situation of this software engineer from China, but the more Anger said, the more confused Bill Gates was: Such a young man actually compared so many of the industry's top software engineers under him?
How is this possible?
So, when I saw Lin Zheng, it seemed that it was understandable that Bill Gates had a hint of scrutiny in his eyes.
"Mr. Lin, I'm very happy to see you."
Facing Bill Gates, the famous richest man in the world. Well. Not counting now, Lin Zheng was surprised to find that he was not at all panic and nervous. He was calm and calm. Lin Zheng also acted neither humble nor arrogant. He did not feel weak because he was standing in two years and would become the richest man in the world. He held Bill Gates's hand and shook it gently twice before letting go, "Mr. Bill, I have long admired Daming, and I finally saw you real person today."
"Mr. Lin knows me?" Bill Gates was a little surprised. Well, the meaning of this should be "You Lin Hongfei knows a lot about me?"
"Mr. Bill is the representative of the American wealth creation spirit and the most typical rich man under the American IT industry's wealth creation mechanism. In our country, you are an idol admired by many people, and your struggle has also been talked about by many people." Lin Zheng smiled and praised Bill Gates a little.
Sure enough, when Bill Gates heard Lin Zheng's words, he laughed happily. It is a very happy thing for an American to be admired by people thousands of miles away.
After a few casual conversations, Bill Gates simply entered the topic, "Mr. Lin, please forgive me for being direct. In the email you gave me, do you say that there are many more serious bugs?"
He was very clever and did not ask Lin Zheng where he got the "Chicago" system. Although he was sure that among the "Chicago" versions he sent, none of the only Chinese versions of "Chicago" were in the hands of this guy.
"That's right," Lin Zheng nodded, "In sincerity, I can tell you another one. This is a vulnerability that crashed Windows 95 because of the Java source code. This vulnerability can make the system continuously generate new threads until the system resources are exhausted and the system itself loses control. Such java programs can be embedded in a web page. Browsing web pages such as ie or scape can crash the system. The specific triggering mechanism is like this..."
Before Lin Zheng finished speaking, Bill Gates's face changed. He is also the world's top software development engineer. Just through Lin Zheng's description, he was completely sure that the bug Lin Zheng mentioned did exist.
This is actually not what scares Bill Gates the most. What scares Bill Gates the most is that Lin Zheng has thrown out four serious bugs so far. Judging from his understatement, it seems that there are still many such bugs in his hands, which is terrifying. Who is sure that this guy has 5 bugs in his hands, 10, 20 or 30 bugs in his hands?
The "Chicago" system has entered the public beta stage. If the problems existing in "Chicago" cannot be solved as much as possible during this period, and will be widely released after the release, the blow to Microsoft will not be enough to describe it as the word "heavy".
The world's richest man does have the courage to be the richest man in the world. Although he is not the richest man in the world now, he already has the mind and courage of the richest man in the world. After his face slightly changed, Bill Gates's face immediately returned to calm. "Mr. Lin, thank you for helping us find the problems. These problems you found are very important to us. May I ask, do you find many problems with "Chicago"?"
"So far, there are about 30," Lin Zheng did not hide it. "Five of them are the most likely bugs to cause system crashes or fake death."
More than 30... Even the richest man in the world couldn't help but grin: How much does this number need to be settled? The only thing that made Bill Gates a little relieved was that Lin Zheng is still very young and seems to have not had a lot of social experience. Maybe he doesn't need to spend much money?
"More than 30, it seems that there are still many things that need improvement in 'Chicago'," Bill shrugged and showed his thoughts. "Mr. Lin, thank you for helping us so much. To thank you for your help to Microsoft, I have prepared a Mercedes-Benz S600 sedan for you, and I hope you can like it."
Lin Zheng wanted to laugh when he heard this. The most advanced Mercedes-Benz S600 sedan is only priced in the US market at only 120,000 US dollars. This guy just wanted to use a car and sent him away? As expected, he is a top rich man, and his abacus is smart enough.
Bill Gates was full of confidence. In his opinion, the chips he had opened were already high enough, $120,000, which could not be considered a small amount for American rich people. If it weren't for his good friend Mr. Angelber saying that this young man was also a rich man, Bill even thought that giving Lin Zheng at most $10,000 would be enough.
Angelaber wanted to cover her face. With his understanding of Lin Zheng, Bill's approach was probably to humiliate himself. A person who dared to sue Burrbrown and dared to sue Sony and Panasonic to court would take the 120,000 US dollars in his eyes? At this moment, he regretted it very much.
Even Tan Na curled her lips.
A Mercedes-Benz S600 is priced at more than 2 million yuan in China, and it is indeed very valuable. Even Lianchuang Technology can only afford a Cadillac Fretwood as a reception car. It would be a bit ineffective to maintain a Mercedes-Benz S600. If it weren't for Lin Zheng's previous thoughts, Tan Na would have happily accepted the gift. But after knowing Lin Zheng's ideas and Microsoft's promotion plan, this girl didn't think so: it's a blessing that Bill Gates is still a billionaire and is not authentic.
"Mercedes-Benz? I really like it," Lin Zheng nodded. There seemed to be no reason for him to not give it to someone else for free.
Bill breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time he turned his head and looked at Angieber with a blame: I don’t think it’s so difficult to deal with this kid.
But before he could turn his head, Lin Zheng's voice rang again, "It's just Mr. Bill, are you sure you will only offer the price for these loopholes I found... Well, a Mercedes-Benz S600 worth $120,000?"
"Mr. Lin is not satisfied with the price?"
"To be honest, I'm really dissatisfied," Lin Zheng nodded sincerely, looking at Bill Gates, who had already looked at the taste of scrutiny. "The value of these four loopholes is indeed enough to make Mr. Bill drive a Mercedes-Benz S600 price, but he wants the remaining 30 loopholes..."
He shook his head gently, the meaning was very obvious. Want other loopholes I mastered? Come on with more sincerity, if your sincerity is just that... Haha...
Looking at Bill Gates whose face changed color instantly, Tan Na almost laughed out loud: That's right! That's it! That's it!
"Mr. Lin, are you threatening me?" Bill said gritting his teeth.
"Threat? Where did this start?" Lin Zheng became confused on his face for some time, "This is a deal, your love-willing transaction. Your offer cannot meet my requirements, so I decided to suspend the transaction. Is there any problem?"
