Chapter 1325 The End of a Century

Isn't it extremely ridiculous?

Facts are often more absurd than reality. What saves the world is just the author's YY. In fact, doing nothing is a more appropriate description of John Bull's intelligence agency.

It is impossible for John Bull's structure to produce any heroes. Or there was, such as that damn fat man Churchill. It's a pity that Mustache has just been fucked down, and this guy is out of class.

As for the Iron Lady, it seems to be the same. Churchill himself said that John Bull was ungrateful. Well, there is no use saying more, for their own heroes are more feared than admired.

With the return of Hao Jing, history seems to have turned a new page. In the 20th century, this magnificent era finally came to an end.

Unlike Xiangjiang, Hao Jing's return was uneventful. The atmosphere of celebration was still there, but something seemed to be missing. Or, the once arrogant guy himself declined first.

"Attention all units, this is the last test. It's the new millennium soon. If there are any more problems, I'm afraid only God can save us."

Looking at several screens on the computer, William White formally issued the order. This is the last test and the first commercial use of ICQ’s video conferencing system.

How should I put it, the effect can only be said to be so-so. Such poor pixels are just crazy. Damn it, if you post a photo directly, it seems to have the same effect.

Even so, data packet drops are commonplace. Of course, it also depends on who you compare with. ICQ's competitors were once again left far behind.

"Boss, they just finished the test and everything went well. So, boss, this system is so convenient. It will be much more convenient to use this ICQ for department-level meetings in the future."

"Um, what is ICQ? Isn't it just about issuing documents or something?

By the way, you can also contact friends. "

"Boss, look, this is a video I downloaded. Regarding the last test of the millennium bug, NBC Online sent it to the website simultaneously."

"Um, Andy, are you okay? It's just a video conference. We also have this system at Dalian. It seems that there are not so many people participating."

"No boss, now you just need to buy a camera like this, and any computer connected to the Internet can participate.

The ones you just saw, they come from all over the world. Oh my god, the meeting of the Security Council is nothing more than this level. "

"Um, you mean, all of them?"

"Yes, they have just released an update. Even ordinary users can have this service, but the number of participants is limited.

Ahem, boss, the guys outside have gone crazy. They can't wait to buy a camera right away. Andy nuzzled, meaning that he also had a headache.

"Expensive?"

"99 US dollars, this is from Logitech. If it were an authorized manufacturer in Baodao, it would probably only cost the price of a lunch."

"Um, so cheap?"

William White didn't expect that he just planned to show off the 13-frame move, but it would make the entire Silicon Valley excited.

Of course, most of them are just beating their chests. One step ahead is one step ahead. In this winner-takes-all market, falling behind means rushing out.

Fortunately, William White doesn't have many opponents left. There are a lot of soft persimmons, and there is really no need to be so stubborn. Entrepreneurs who rush to the market tell the market the fact that White System must be a high-quality product. If you can't keep up with their endless creativity, it's best to give up.

While fiddling with the camera on the table, Master Qiao was also complaining. Damn bastard, you can't leak any information.

"Jonathan, is it possible to have this camera built in?"

Faced with Boss Qiao's words, Jonathan Ive was a little bit embarrassed. Boss, are you so mean? This thing, G4 cannot catch up with it no matter what, this is not our problem.

"Boss, I just communicated. Logitech said that they do have such a design. Unfortunately, there is no way to mass produce it yet.

I thought, this. "

"Hey, Jonathan, what's going on with you today? Don't hesitate, you don't know what our situation is. Since they have a design, why can't they mass-produce it? Let's get straight to the point."

Jonathan Ive gritted his teeth and said directly: "There is something strange behind this matter. I just asked someone to check the patent. If nothing unexpected happens, William White must have applied for the relevant patent."

"Well, why are you so sure? Although this guy is indeed very wretched."

“Boss, it’s not like they upgraded this software on a whim.

Also, from design to mold opening and then to mass production, even in the IT industry, there is only three months, so you don’t have to think about it.

However, this camera set has now appeared on Amazon and World Mall. I just tried to order a few sets, and their supply is very sufficient. Amazon's platform shows that it is being shipped out, but World Mall has already shipped it out. "

Jonathan Ive raised his wrist and looked at his watch, and said with great certainty: "Four hours, from placing the order to completing the delivery. Since it is possible to receive it within 48 hours, then their goods have already been sent to the warehouse. , otherwise it would be absolutely impossible.”

Apple also does online shopping, and World Mall and Amazon also sell. People who eat melons may be at a loss as to what four hours actually means. What do these two people not understand?

"Damn it, it must be. Logitech needs to supply to the legendary world first, so this must be it." Steve Jobs didn't care if the patent was not patented. It’s just money, why don’t you still want to stop it?

"This patented villain is a gangster, a bastard, and shameless." Then a bunch of characters with F's came out. He knew very well that what William White needed was just the advantage of being one step ahead.

Jonathan Eve would never have thought that the indignant guy in front of him would do even more outrageous things in the future.

Want to slide to unlock?

Bring the money!

They almost scanned everything that could be patented that they could think of.

This means that computers cannot be used, otherwise, this thing will definitely be even more outrageous.

What is the name of that great god? Through computer coding, he directly packaged various music melodies that had never appeared before.

Anyway, it is just a combination of seven notes. In theory, this thing is inevitable. Faced with such a bastard, shouldn't he be cut to pieces by a thousand cuts?

Bill Gates is also aware of the problems that Master Qiao is aware of. Unfortunately, this guy is not a hardware manufacturer.

To be honest, facing William White's endless methods, he was really a little bit pained. ICQ, Bill student would not have thought of it. In fact, the Windows version of ICQ is planned to be directly bundled with win2000.

And what about release time?

It seems like it's too late now, damn, damn bastard. Is this being pushed to the ground and rubbed as soon as it goes on the market?

So, how about buying it back?

What are you thinking about? Even if you are not fighting to the death, you are already past the honeymoon period. He could even think that when William White sold Office and IE to him, he had already thought of his possible betrayal.

It turns out that the core of the so-called ecosystem is actually this humble instant communication software. From email to search engines, to Happy Farm and World Mall.

Oh my God, how do I break this!

I have to say that someone really thinks too much. If you break the situation, the situation will not be broken. Just kidding, there are over 100 million registered users worldwide, you really think it’s a joke. In the United States alone, the number has exceeded 50 million. Of course, most of them are free users, but so what! If you have the ability, you can get tens of millions of users to come out and take a look.
