Chapter 1330 A False Alarm

10.9.8...Times Square in the United States was crowded with people. God seemed to be a little merciful today and didn't cause any trouble. If there is a heavy snowfall, the girls in the square will be miserable.

The arrival of the new millennium has also caused Times Square to quickly become excited.

The current international situation is relatively calm, and the tensions at the end of the century seem to have been alleviated. No matter what class you are in, at this moment, what mankind can generally hope for is world peace. The past hundred years can be said to be the darkest hundred years. Humans who are fighting each other have developed terrible weapons. If necessary, they can even kill all humans on the planet.

Fortunately, all this has passed, and a new history has begun. Judging from the current situation, there is no mustache or hair.

This is very good, I hope this can last forever.

"The power system is normal, the transportation system is normal, and after testing, online banking can be successfully delivered. Just now, we just completed a remittance of US$10,000."

Staring tightly at the computer screen, William White needed to determine whether this crisis could be overcome safely.

"Boss, I just received news that a 7-11 in Xiangjiang has a computer failure. The cash register can run normally, but problems occur when users use credit cards to settle."

Holy shit, William White is very depressed. Damn, I'm so slapped in the face. My brother also said that he wanted to reward me generously, so you guys are going to make trouble for me.

"Jason, what's going on?

Is it one family or multiple families? "

"Boss, I have sent engineers to solve it. Just now, I have also inquired about other stores and no similar problems have occurred."

"Well, Larry, let your people find out if this is a system vulnerability. They all talk about the millennium bug. Do you really think everything will be fine after today?"

"Larry, tell them, what is this Y2K bug?"

In fact, even if it is emphasized all the time. There are also many people who disagree with this. While Larry Ellison was speaking, someone spoke again on the other side of the screen.

"Boss, I just received news that some models of Tesla vehicles encountered starting difficulties." As soon as Dominic Fang finished speaking, William White's head was in a state of panic. Looking at that posture, this guy might have the millennium bug in his head.

"What the hell, boss, we checked, it's because the trip computer can't identify the year 2000."

"Fuck, how many are involved? In addition to the trip computer problem, what about the gearbox? Is there also a problem?

Damn, by the way, ask other companies if they have any problems? "

William White is really anxious. If hundreds of thousands of cars need to be recalled, his losses will be too great. Not to mention these, new brands need to be carefully cared for. It would not be embarrassing enough if he was the only one in trouble.

Damn, it's okay if it can't be started. If it's forced to stop, God, he can't even imagine that if a high-speed vehicle suddenly stalls...

At the same time, Lao Ke, who was in Peanutton, breathed a huge sigh of relief. Nuclear power plants are fine, airlines are fine too. He learned early on that some models of General Motors and Ford vehicles had starting problems. Like William White, his first thought was of airplanes.

"Mr. President, I just consulted. This problem occurs because car manufacturers habitually set service life.

As for aircraft, no one dares to set such an age limit. "

"Um, how old is it?"

"Yes, generally speaking, twenty years is the ultimate limit. Extended service will cause great safety risks, and manufacturers are obviously unwilling to bear this part of the uncertainty.

so……"

Clinton, who breathed a sigh of relief, also complained a little, Damn, man, the cars of that era didn't need to be used for decades. The advancement of technology has indeed made building cars easier. There is no need to adjust the carburetor throttle, this part of the work is all handed over to the computer. However, once this computer is damaged, it cannot be repaired even if it is repaired.

Naturally, peanuts are not the only ones paying attention to this millennium bug. A group of Wall Street bosses are also eyeing it. Mom, these funds are all in the financial market. If something unexpected happens, I may not have to barter in the future.

For this bug, the related investment is an astronomical amount. Not to mention, computers before 486 have basically become electronic waste. If such a large investment cannot solve the problem, then something big is going to happen.

"Thank you for your hard work, old man." Looking at Charlie Munger with his sunken eyes, Buffett felt a little apologetic. Although he himself is no longer young, neither is Charlie Munger.

"It doesn't matter. Except for a very few malfunctions, there are no major abnormalities. I think we have overcome this trouble."

"Well, old man, do you think this is a trick of the IT company? They have been making crazy money in recent times."

"I don't know, they think they have a way to deal with those old computers."

Although Charlie Munger said it in a vague way, people like Buffett can understand it as soon as they hear it.

However, it’s useless even if you know. This is a gluttonous feast that no one will be allowed to spoil.

"By the way, when I came here just now, I inquired about it. There are indeed many problems in some African countries."

"Hey, that's for sure. After all, this design drawback is real and no one can make it up out of thin air."

"Fabricated? It doesn't exist. Tesla needs to recall more than 30,000 cars. Our richest man must be furious now. I just don't know if this guy has bought insurance for himself."

"Seriously? Hahaha, hahaha. You deserve it. Oracle alone has helped this guy earn so much money. If you don't spit it out, it would be unjust."

William White wouldn't care about the gloating of the two old guys. Seeing that nothing serious happened, the man had already slept with his wife in his arms. As long as it's not a systemic risk, he doesn't care.

As for losses?

This is a listed company. As long as the stock price doesn't collapse, he doesn't care at all who you love.

Or if the stock price really halved. His benefit will be even greater. If it really drops to a certain level, just privatize it and delist it. Although GM and Ford were losing money, he was still profitable. Not only was he profitable, but the profits in the rabbit country market were quite good.

Of course, being embarrassed is also considered embarrassing. Damn it, you were the first to come out and say that Y2K was harmful, and you were the one who kept saying that everything was infallible.

But, are you really so selfless?

“This is the most serious comprehensive crisis since mankind mastered tools like computers.

Fortunately, the world's technological elites gathered in the United States, and we have perfectly avoided this crisis.

Just last night, as far as I know, at least tens of thousands of computer engineers around the world stayed up all night.

Yes, we did it in the end, thank God. "

Looking at this video that NBC pinned to the top online, it’s hard for others to say, but Clinton is screwed. Damn it, why are you going so far? This is not treating the president as a cadre, you bastard!

Well, hurry up, this New Year's speech must be revised.

Lao Ke actually thought too much. Originally, there was no such thing. Aren't you worried about being complained about? Let me strike first.

I'll take a look at it if you tell me it's a failure.
