Chapter 159 Extortion is a very happy thing

Bill was speechless, and then he realized that he had underestimated the appetite of the Chinese man. He turned his head to look at Angelber. Angelber shrugged and replied with a silent bitter smile: I told you everything, this kid is not easy to deal with.

Since $120,000 cannot impress Lin Zheng, how much does it cost to impress him? Bill Gates' brain quickly thought about it. First of all, he must be sure that there are more than 30 vulnerabilities in Windows 95 that Lin Zheng has in his hands? He is very suspicious of this number, but he is not sure that as a brand new and revolutionary operating system, Windows 95 has many bugs. No one knows this better than its inventor Bill Gates, but he is not very convinced of the vulnerabilities that Lin Zheng has not discovered by more than 30 Microsoft development teams.

If you are willing to believe it, but with these 4 loopholes in front of you, Bill dare not gamble...

"Oh, by the way, I found a bug that is most likely to cause the 'Chicago' system to crash. This is a flaw in the design of the system kernel." Lin Zheng suddenly said, but when he said this, he immediately kept silent... This is too obvious.

Lin Zheng was struggling to death by the crash problem of Windows 95, because he scolded Bill Gates and this guy's eight generations of ancestors now have the opportunity to "talk" to Bill in person, and it's easy to knock him down.

"Okay, Lin, give your request," Bill Gates is also a determined and decisive person. He invested almost everything for Windows 95. In order to find as many bugs as possible before putting it on the market, he invested a lot of R&D funds. The kernel problem is almost fatal, and Bill will never allow such mistakes. Since Lin Zheng is willing to sell the bugs he found to Microsoft instead of Apple, which is a lawsuit with Microsoft, this is a good thing. It's just that the businessman's instinct made him not forget to threaten Lin Zheng, "But I hope you don't go too far."

"Of course it won't be too much. I just want what I want," Lin Zheng smiled happily. "Our company is negotiating with RCA to introduce their second-hand LCD production line that is about to be retired. If Microsoft is willing to bear the procurement costs of the entire production line, we will be very grateful."

"Is that true?" Bill turned his head and looked at Angelber.

"That's right."

"Okay, how much?" Bill said, preparing to take out the check.

"This is an LCD production line to be upgraded to stn-lcd, so..." Lin Zheng shrugged: Mr. Bill, the price is a bit expensive...

As Lin Zheng expected, Bill Gates was stunned for a moment. As an operating system research and development company, he had no reason not to know the relevant knowledge of LCD monitors. He knew how much it would cost to build at least a stn-lcd LCD production line. Even if it was upgraded to a graphic dot matrix stn-lcd production line of RCA, it would definitely not be able to get it without US$12 million.

"Mr. Lin, you are blackmailing!" Bill, who was stunned for a while, said angrily with a flushed face.

"Extortion? No, no, this is business," Lin Zheng never agrees with the word blackmail. "I offered my price. Mr. Bill thought it was worth it, so he could buy it back. If he thought it was not worth it, then you can also go to the airport to take your private plane back now. I can't afford the word blackmail."

Bill Gates was so angry that sparks burst into his nostrils, and his eyes were even more fiery, but he couldn't say a word. Lin Zheng was right. If he thought it was not worth it, he could turn around and leave immediately. Anyway, he couldn't detain himself, but... he was unwilling to accept it. Do he really want to pay the money?

Although I don’t know what the price this bastard negotiated with RCA, a production line that can produce image dot matrix stn-lcd LCD screens will not be less than $10 million in any case. When Bill thought that more than $10 million was going to fly away from his account, he felt aching: This is a lot.

At the critical moment, as a friend, Angie Bo, had no choice but to help, and coughed lightly, Angie Bo said, "Lin, I want to say, your asking price is a bit too high."

"It's too high? No no no, Mr. Angelber, I think Apple will never think so. I heard that Apple is now trying to sue Microsoft's information? I don't know if these things do anything to them."

Angelber immediately closed his mouth tightly.

Is it useful? Of course it has functions. Not to mention anything else. As long as Microsoft did not find these bugs before Windows 95 was launched, when Microsoft's Windows 95 was released, Apple announced these vulnerabilities, everyone saw that this is an operating system or a sieve. Who dares to use an operating system that breaks into such a look? The popular Windows 95 may have a great chance of getting a blow, and the losses at that time may not be compensated by tens of millions of dollars.

Bill Gates obviously thought of this, and his face became even more ugly. Lin Zheng's words hit his fatal hole.

Microsoft is not the behemoth after the release of Windows 98. Although Microsoft is already a star enterprise in the United States, it is far behind the Microsoft empire in later generations.

"$1 million." Bill said gritting his teeth, "Young man, I hope you know how to restrain yourself. Stop when you see it is better is the principle of doing business."

"Convergence? I don't remember the American dictionary. The entire procurement cost of the graphic dot matrix stn-lcd LCD production line cannot be reduced." Lin Zheng almost laughed loudly when he heard Bill's words and said without giving in, "When did Americans start to say "convergence" and "receive" when they stop when they get better? Don't they most recommend draining every cent of profits that can be squeezed? Mr. Bill, sorry, please forgive me for not accepting the bargaining... Of course, you can go to RCA to negotiate, even if RCA sells the production line that can produce graphic dot matrix stn-lcd LCD production line to you for one cent. I won't have any objection."

Bill's nose was pissed off, one cent? He had heard of RCA's selling their segment TN-LCD production line, but Bill didn't think his face was so big. He could ask RCA to transfer that production line to himself at a price of one cent.

Since the agreement cannot be reached, there is no need to discuss it. Bill left angrily.

Angelaba looked at Lin Zheng and shook his head in extreme disappointment, but he couldn't say anything.

"This..." Tan Na was a little stunned and gently pulled Lin Zheng's clothes, "Is it broken?"

"No."

"But he's gone..."

"Who said that the negotiations were broken when they left?" Lin Zheng shook his head with a smile. "You are also someone who has had many negotiation experience with others. Can't you even see such simple negotiation skills?"

Tan Na was stunned for a moment, her face turned red instantly! Yes. She often used this trick and understood this. In Tan Na's opinion, even Angelber's face became a bit abominable. Obviously, in this matter, Angelber was on which side of Microsoft.

Yes, who made him American too?

"Is this your sample?" Looking at the samples in front of him, Orlando was full of amazement. In his opinion, but in terms of appearance design, these walkmen are no less than Japanese walkmen products. Now he began to believe in what Lin Zheng said before that they had called Japanese Walkman in the Republic market. If the price is really that low and the quality is guaranteed, it seems that it is not impossible.

"That's right. The number marked above is the maximum continuous playback time. Listen to it and try the effect." Lin Zheng pointed to the label on the front of the fuselage and said to Orlando.

The 40-hour continuous playback time attracted a series of surprises in Orlando, "Wow, 40-hour continuous playback? How did you do it?"

Lin Zheng just smiled without saying a word. How could he tell others such a thing?

Orlando obviously realized that this problem was a bit inappropriate, so he immediately shut up and said, "Can I listen?"

"Of course." It was taken out for Orlando to listen, otherwise how could he impress him?

When Orlando put on his headphones, the phone in the room rang.

Telephone? Tan Na's eyes couldn't help but fall on the phone and gestured to Lin Zheng with a lip "Who will call us at this time?"

"It may be Bill." Lin Zheng said in a low voice, pointing to the phone and signaling himself to come and answer.

"Hello."

"Hello, dear guest, this is the hotel front desk. There is a phone number to connect to your room. Do you want to help you connect?" The lady at the front desk sounded beautifully.

"Please help me connect."

"Okay, please wait."

"Mr. Lin, I'm Bill." Bill Gates's voice sounded a little... tired?

"Mr. Bill, I am Lin Zheng." Lin Zheng said, although he had been confidently telling Tan Na that Bill Gates would definitely bow his head. The reason for supporting him to do this was a news that has been widely circulated in later generations: on the eve of the release of Windows 95, a tester within Microsoft discovered the strict security of the system. This bug had a great impact on the system. In order to encourage the tester, Microsoft directly rewarded the guy with $5 million.

A heavy**ug has $5 million. Lin Zheng doesn’t believe that the lot of bugs provided are not worth an LCD production line of about $12 million?

"I agreed to your terms, but we have to sign a contract..."

Bill Gates said something later. Lin Zheng could no longer hear clearly. He was already in tears.
