America's Big Hero

Brain beat and fart him!

Waiting for others to develop and bypass patent barriers, then you will have at least half a year to a year of first-mover advantage, how much ground can you lay?

At that time, I will be stumbling, using dirty tricks, intimidating and luring, it is best to buy others, if not, sue him!

Patent disputes prevented him from commercializing.

By various means, as long as it doesn't end with a few big consortiums, Sean is sure to take over half of the market.

How much cash flow is that?

Can drive people crazy! !

The unfulfilled words of Monroe Deve couldn't dampen Sean's enthusiasm, and he still didn't believe it.

IBM has it all, just a credit card machine...

……

Although IBM is a giant company in the computer industry, its headquarters is not in Silicon Valley, but in Armonk, New York.

Hello New York State, hello Rockefeller's territory!

Sean's helicopter directly went there, even if Sean didn't use Rockefeller's name, it would be easy for Sean to meet someone from IBM.

Yates Donahue, 45 years old, a technical director of IBM, Sean didn't find any secret place, just rented a coffee shop not far from IBM headquarters.

Good guy!

The four bodyguards at the gate were groaning, obviously carrying guns, and there were four cars parked nearby, with the windows open, and all the people inside were strong men in camouflage uniforms, who had been passing by pedestrians nearby. He almost had bad intentions written all over his face.

Get all the pedestrians around.

Americans like to highlight their individuality, like challenges, and like to die, but...

No one really came up to provoke.

Yates Donahue was also a little dumbfounded when he parked next to him. He poked his head out of the car to look at the store's sign. If he didn't come here often, he would have thought he had walked to a Hollywood filming set.

This stage!

A man in a black suit walked to the car and bent over, asking, "Is that Mr. Yates Donahue?"

"Our boss is waiting for you inside!"

The corner of Yates Donahue's mouth twitched slightly, he got out of the car, opened the door and walked into the coffee shop, he knew what was going on when he saw the empty cafe, it was reserved.

Can't help but sigh that he is really a super rich, young and frivolous, spending money so lavishly.

In fact, it is not allowed to book the venue. How caring is this posture, and you are still sitting here drinking coffee!

"Mr. Yates Donahue, good afternoon." Sean greeted him personally, giving him enough face.

"Mr. Sean, hello, hello, nice to meet you." Yates Donahue hurried over.

After shaking hands and exchanging pleasantries, Sean ushered them to a seat.

Not by the window.

The security team prohibited Sean from sitting by a window or other places with a good view in public.

Alas, the life of the rich is so boring.

After drinking coffee, after a few symbolic chats, Sean cut to the chase, "I have a question to consult, here is the consulting fee, and here is the confidentiality agreement."

As he spoke, he pushed a check and a contract over.

When Yates Donahue looked down, his pupils shrank.

50 million dollars!

This is so fucking arrogant!

Although he was a technical director at IBM, he sounded very tall, but the current IBM is not one of the three IOE giants in the later generations, and it has only been 87 years!

His annual salary is only more than 10 yuan, which is 8 times the per capita GDP, which is already a high salary.

Hey, the veterans like Xiao En Qijia don't think much of this little money, bah, it's shabby.

Looking at the 50 check, Yates Donahue had the urge to resign and call his father.

Dad, tell me, what do you want me to do!

After taking the check, without further ado, he picked up the non-disclosure agreement and signed his name.

It's meaningless not to read the content, he wished it was a contract of prostitution.

After signing, Sean withdrew the contract, and a person walked by put the handheld credit card machine on the table.

"A terminal, dedicated to swiping bank cards. Of course, other cards can also be used. This company belongs to me."

"Now, I need and I want such a system, he can connect this terminal to various shops in the city through telephone lines, such as this coffee shop."

"Guests don't need to bring cash, they only need to use a bank card, and they can directly transfer the money from the bank card to the store's account on this terminal. Is this function possible?"

Yates Donahue frowned, and he made it very clear, a card, a terminal, and a China Unicom bank account.

After a while, Yates Donahue looked up at Sean, "Technically, it is completely achievable, whether it is the telephone network or coaxial cable, it has been laid across North America."

"Oh, so wordy!" Sean's eyes lit up, and he knew there was absolutely no problem.

"I'll use New York State as an example." Yates Donahue dipped his finger in some coffee and drew a small circle on the desktop. He thought that Sean might not understand, so he kept it as simple as possible. "The first choice is a large server. For all the data, branch servers are set up in each city, and all stores in the city are connected through telephone lines to realize data connection.”

"If New York State and the various cities cooperate with the bank, it will be simpler."

"I have my own bank, and I can open stores across the country. Even if I don't open them, it's okay to build service stations." Sean added.

"That's technically no problem. The data of a city is processed in the city's branch system, and the inter-city data is comprehensively processed by the state main system. The structure is hierarchical, and the server can fully bear this workload."

"Two difficulties. First, multiple banks cannot coordinate. It is not that cross-banks cannot exchange data, but because of security factors, they can only be handled separately."

"Don't use other banks, just use mine."

"Then there is one more security issue. Any terminal can connect to the bank's database. This is extremely unsafe. Although very few people understand this, it is not safe after all, and a large amount of data flow is also unsafe. It will inevitably have an impact on the main system of the bank." Yates Donahue frowned more and more, the 50 cannot be taken for nothing, he must give a complete solution.

Hearing Yates Donahue muttering, Sean tilted his head and remembered that there are solutions to these things in later generations, but he is not familiar with them after all, so he has to look them up bit by bit from his memory.

No one spoke. Did Yates Donahue dip his coffee and draw on the table? He wanted to come up with a technical solution.

"Hey, see if this works." Sean's eyes suddenly lit up, and Yates Donahue looked up in confusion.

"A kind of card is specially issued for customers. There is no money in the card, and it can't save money. There is only a fixed amount, um, a credit limit." Sean thought of a credit card, but he couldn't fully apply it. "It's like doing it alone. A banking system is completely separated from the existing banking system, so that there is no intercommunication of data, and there will be no security problems."

"And the credit limit is fixed, and it is impossible to spend money indiscriminately."

The more he talked, the brighter Sean's eyes became, "For example, you, Yates Donahue, have an annual salary of 18 yuan and a monthly salary of about 1.5 yuan, then I can calculate your repayment ability based on your monthly salary, and set up a monthly consumption plan for you. million credit cards."

"I see!" Yates Donahue pumped his fist excitedly, "It's simple, because there are only deductions, and the data that needs to be processed will be reduced by half. Not only that, I live in Armonk all year round. , In fact, most of the consumption data is processed in Armonk, and the molecular server here will record the amount I consume in a day and how much money I have left.”

"It's impossible for me to go from Armonk to New York all of a sudden. Then, a few hours or more, Armonk's molecular server can upload data to the New York State main server to update the data once."

"It's similar to other cities. Even if it's enough to carry the data every day, it's enough to run manually. In fact, it can also be afforded through the telephone line."

"Well, there is no need for such a large data transmission between states. After all, it is a small number of people who consume across states."

"It is not difficult to update a small amount of user data after it is released. Our current banking system can complete this operation, depositing money in New York and withdrawing money in Los Angeles."

"It's actually very simple. Just start a separate sub-section under the banking system. Even if the data is not updated in time, it doesn't matter if you spend the limit. Just deduct the credit limit for the next month."

"Credit currency, we have the right to recover, no one dares to owe debts, well, a small amount of bad debts can be tolerated."

"One month's fixed credit limit, monthly as a unit, fixed date update, well, you can also repay the loan in advance by yourself, go to the bank to repay the money, and you can continue to spend after updating the data."

"Papa papa..." Sean raised his hands and applauded, great, very good, "Bad debts are unbearable, no one can owe me money, unless he is dead!"

"Uh..." The corners of Yates Donahue's mouth twitched, well, he forgot that this guy is the boss of the Umbrella Company, a murderous guy.

Sean didn't care what Yates Donahue thought, he just asked with a smile, "Since you've already figured out the plan, then the laying plan for the entire system has come out, right? It's not just IBM's server."

"Oh, well, it must be that IBM doesn't do what he wants." Yates Donahue nodded, "IBM's servers are the most stable, but you need to ask Microsoft to customize this system for the credit card machine."

"Wait!" Sean stood up abruptly, staring at Yates Donahue with his eyes fixed on him. He was so excited that he couldn't control it, and his aura burst out, and his murderous aura was unreservedly released.

Yates Donahue's whole body tensed up, for some reason, as if he had encountered a natural enemy on the food chain, but after being looked at like this, his hands and feet became cold, his whole body was stiff, he couldn't move, and his sweat was uncontrollable The ground seeped out from under the skin, soaking the skirt of the clothes in just a moment, and sweating profusely.

Sean was taken aback by this appearance, and then realized that he was shocked.

With a light cough, he collected his thoughts and started to do it again. Then he reached out and patted Yates Donahue on the shoulder, "Come back to your senses, come back to your senses."

"Ah, ah, oh... hoo!" Yates Donahue raised his head to wipe his sweat, panting heavily, and lowered his head, not daring to look at Sean at all. That moment really scared him.

Now it is no longer stiff, but rather weak all over, as if it has just been squeezed by several women in turn, and even a sliver of strength cannot be squeezed out.

Sean rolled his eyes, it was really troublesome, so someone sent another cup of coffee to Yates, drank it a little bit, and then he recovered.

"Did you mention Microsoft just now?" Sean asked aloud, he felt as if he had forgotten something important, but he couldn't remember it.

After being mentioned by Yates, it suddenly dawned on him, how can he forget Microsoft, the company with the highest market value in the future, and the richest man on the surface!

"Ah, yes." Yates Donahue said with a soft voice: "IBM's system service partner, normally, the bank's database must use Oracle, but your system is mainly used by individual businesses. , the operating system on the terminal needs to be re-customized."

"Oh, that's right, there are also Oracle bone inscriptions!" Sean clapped his hands heavily, what the hell, here they are, all of them are here.

Yates Donahue took a peek at Sean, wondering why this guy suddenly fell ill, is he crazy?

"Come, come, tell me about Microsoft, what's going on with them now." If you're a time-traveler, you won't forget Microsoft and Apple.

Sean made a fortune, and after he had some money, he checked the stock market. It turned out that Microsoft was not listed at all, and he was penniless.

Sean checked Apple again, and it was listed on December 1980, 12. It set a bunch of historical records on the day of listing. When Sean looked at the stock market, Apple was already a Fortune 12 company in the world, and it was a historical record. Fastest record.

Sean walked away with tears in his eyes.

Apple or something, wait, Sean doesn't remember the specific trend, but he remembers that Apple will slowly enter the bottom, and then "Plague Wine House" will invite old Joe out of the mountain, and it will be out of control, so wait for 90 years before buying Apple stock is fine.

Years in advance, enough!

He cares more about Microsoft now.

"Microsoft, there's nothing wrong."

"Say you know."

"Uh, Microsoft released Microsoft Windows 1.0, a personal computer operating platform." Yates Donahue secretly looked at Sean and said cautiously.

"Any more?"

"Well, it went public last year. In March 86, the stock market trend was very good." Yates Donahue said tentatively again.

"Okay." Sean narrowed his eyes, looked satisfied, and shook his head, "That's great! Ah!"

Yates Donahue thinks Sean is crazy.

"What about the oracle bones?"

"The annual sales are 5500 million US dollars, and it was also listed in the same period last year, and the stock price trend is also very good."

"Okay, that's great!" Sean continued to shake his head.

Sean sat there without saying a word, Yates Donahue had nothing to do, feeling uncomfortable all over, he raised his hand and looked at his watch, "Hey, does Mr. Sean have any other orders?"

"Ah, it's gone. I'll contact you later, but there's a high probability that I'll be negotiating with IBM!" Sean said with a smile.

"Okay, call me anytime you need it." Yates Donahue hurriedly got up and walked out.

Sean leaned back on the chair, laughed for a while, and then beckoned Norris to come over, "Contact me Jordan Belfort."

Norris called, Sean took it, and directly ordered: "Help me operate it, I want to eat all the stocks of Microsoft and Oracle in the market."

Sean has a personal account on Wall Street, and he has been entrusting the Wolf of Wall Street to operate it on his behalf.

"Of course it's okay, as long as you have money." Jordan Belfort answered very simply.

"Money is not a problem. I will call you 1 million US dollars later. Use it first. In addition, don't make the price too expensive."

"of course."

After hanging up Jordan Belfort's phone, Sean told Norris again, "Remember, don't forget, after half a month, there will be rumors that I am more optimistic about Microsoft and Oracle. If you want to acquire their shares, which shareholder Contact me if you want to sell your stock.”

"Okay, I took note."

According to US stock regulations, after an IPO is listed, the shares in the hands of shareholders will enter a lock-up period of one year.

No stocks can be sold during the year.

After the expiration, the stocks that can be sold in March cannot exceed 3% of the outstanding shares. For executives and directors of listed companies, the total transaction volume of such people every three months is more than 1 US dollars or the transaction volume exceeds 5 shares When applying, a written application should be made to the relevant institution...

Anyway, there are many restrictions on chaos, but after one year of listing, many shareholders will indeed start to sell their stocks to cash out.
