Every time ZSK releases a new product, it will surely trigger a frenzied pursuit by the global media. Last time, ARM's stock was used as a vent, but this time it disappeared without a trace, which further revealed the mystery and horror of the Zero Empire.
The editors-in-chief of Time magazine are really helpless. They don¡¯t want to choose ZSK as the person of the year again, but
ZSK created a film and television empire by just making a TV series, acquired IBM-PC, acquired Siemens Communications and Mobile, created the world-famous Balloon Internet and Mushroom Internet, the Bank of California¡¯s valuation exceeded the market value of JPMorgan Chase, and it withdrew from Berkshire Hathaway Wei exchanged 5% of the shares, gave each other board seats, cooperated to create an insurance company with a "political hedging" model, and achieved results that scared the second uncle to death, and strongly promoted the world's first genetically modified animal to obtain FDA approval. Here are these "performances" that have blinded the eyes of the world. ZSK is not a person of the year, who dares to take advantage of it?
Xilinx Building is not only a high-end office building, but choosing it is also a manifestation of technology, innovation and artistic aesthetics. A large number of wealthy financial, insurance, IT, and biotechnology companies have settled in, and they all lease it exclusively, so that Sikong Ling He had to set aside a special floor for the small entrepreneurial team, otherwise his flexible leasing would become a joke.
In the final design, the "ribbon" of the Xilinx Building was changed into a super staircase that can be walked on foot. In order to promote the office building in the building, Sikong Ling's team once planned a Christmas marathon competition, which involves hiking from the ground to the top of the 108th floor of the building. The vertical height of the building is 540 meters. The broad view of the San Francisco Bay Area will give participants Quite a unique experience. With a large number of floors being rented out in large numbers, this plan was originally unnecessary, but since it was planned, let's go ahead. It can also be said to encourage employees in the building to exercise.
Countless business elites will take part in this event with their families. ZSK did not say that it would participate, but everyone is looking forward to it. In the end, a special person - President Bush Sr. actually came to attend. Bush Sr. also brought many old friends, including nearly ten former presidents, former vice presidents, and former secretaries of state, which put a lot of pressure on the security of the competition. In the end, President Bush Jr. personally brought them with him. The big guys in black from the Secret Service are here. I'm afraid ZSK will have to deal with this battle no matter how strong it is.
The big guys in black clothes from the Secret Service found that the security guards here were so awesome. They saw many former colleagues, many retired agents from the NSA, CIA, and FBI, and even those who deliberately retired from active duty, came to Xilinx to enjoy the blessings. Xilinx The building is affectionately called the "U.S. Intelligence System Rest House" by these experienced experts. And if there is a military confrontation in this building, the 101st Airborne Division of the U.S. Army will not be able to defeat it for a long time.
Sikong Ling met Bush Sr. and had a good relationship with the Bush family at that time. Bush was an Air Force pilot and was hit during an air battle, but he continued to perform his mission to fight the enemy. One of the two pilots behind him was burned to death by the burning fuselage, and the other was shot dead by an enemy plane. In the end, Only Bush parachuted and fell into the sea. He stayed in the lifeboat and was protected by the police in turns. More than ten hours later, a U.S. Navy submarine surfaced and rescued him. Legendary US military combat hero. Sikong Ling listened with his own ears to the old man's elated talk about his bravery back then, and his blood boiled.
The old man and the young man liked each other. Later, after Sikong Ling had a falling out with the Bush family, the old man always felt resentful about it.
Bush Sr. is 81 years old, but he still refuses to accept his age and still participates in the marathon. George W. Bush and the old man's favorite granddaughter Nancy were waiting by his side. They watched ZSK from a distance and indeed ran to greet him.
ZSK greeted one after another: "Mr. President! Mr. President! Dear Miss Nancy! I originally wanted to take the lead, but it seems I have to give it to the old hero. Are you sure you can really run up there?"
Bush glared: "Why don't you run up to me?" This statement made the former presidents and vice presidents around him more embarrassed, because they were here to accompany them and they didn't have the physical strength to actually run up. . Fortunately, Bush Sr. then introduced these runners to little ZSK. They were all well-known political figures. ZSK had met them all. Now ZSK is considered a little fox when it comes to politics and will no longer be disgusted with these etiquettes.
A group of old foxes, led by Bush Sr., began to climb the tallest building in the world on foot. A group of young business foxes, led by ZSK, followed the seniors leisurely, talking and laughing without any pressure.
Two old foxes really made it to the top, and most of the little foxes made it to the top successfully. They gathered together in twos and threes, including brothers, colleagues, lovers, and friends they had just met. They were feeling life on the top of San Francisco with a vast view. I feel sorry for this diverse planet.
Two eye-catching people came together unexpectedly. One was the most dazzling politician of our time-President George W. Bush, and the other was ZSK-the uncrowned king. They had a tacit understanding. They were talking about California's customs, religion, and science. They were not going to talk about it today.
One is elected by taxpayers?The President, the top official of the most terrifying military and political power in the world, is the largest taxpayer in the United States and the lifelong absolute leader of the largest tax-paying company. The President knows this best. It's hard to say whose aura is stronger. They are equal.
After the president left, no one dared to come to the Young King rashly, except Her Royal Highness the Queenwell, the former Queen, Her Royal Highness Nancy.
Sikong Ling: "Are you here too?"
Nancy: "Yes. I'll stay with grandpa."
The lonely young hero king looks like a hero. No one knows what he is thinking, no one knows what he will do next, where his black hole wealth empire will go, and how he plans the future deep in his heart. It's a mystery.
Sikong Ling smiled slightly, and a rare tenderness appeared on the face of the King of Heroes: "I will have a performance later, you must watch it before leaving."
Nancy was surprised: "Really? Then I must watch it. I almost forgot, you are a TV star or a superstar."
Sikong Ling thought of the legendary Lu Xiaofeng, who was so famous that he was really addicted to being a star. A completely different life experience can only be obtained when filming. He thought of Niu Daya's weird novel that traveled to the future 250 million years ago. Are you considering turning this strange novel into a TV series or movie? It seems that his star addiction has returned, so he said: "Maybe I will make another movie, and this time it will be in Hollywood."
Snapped! Nancy clapped her hands: "Okay! I support it! What kind of film are you going to make?"
Sikong Ling explained the outline of the play. Nancy's eyes widened and she murmured: "Curious"
Gradually, they talked calmly, and Nancy suddenly understood why they broke up, because the real king did not belong to anyone but himself. He did not bother to explain or apologize, and could never be a normal person. , a normal BF or husband, because his life, fantasy and work are integrated into one, he has unlimited opportunities and popularity. Nancy, a smart but conservative girl, really didn't know whether it was a blessing or a misfortune to leave the King of Heroes. She just had some faint regrets.
Sikong Ling¡¯s so-called performance is to jump off the roof of the building, of course, wearing a paraglider.
On days when the wind direction is erratic, the beautiful blue sky will turn into a bloody mouth of death. At this 540-meter top of the world, the most professional skydivers will have a trace of heart palpitations, crazy kings.
When he announced this performance project, the politicians and businessmen present were shocked and gathered around with serious expressions. A reporter from CBS asked excitedly: "How long have you been practicing?"
ZSK: "Practice? No, it's my first time jumping, but the coach told me some techniques."
The audience was in an uproar: "No way? This is the first time, so high?"
The reporter was even more excited: "Are you scared?"
ZSK: ¡°Fortunately, it¡¯s very safe.¡±
Reporter: ¡°Are you doing this to show something?¡±
??ZSK: "Show ZSK."
Reporter: "Isn't there some danger in this? Have you bought insurance? Who is the beneficiary?"
ZSK had a sarcastic look on his face and said: "Insurance? This is very safe. I'm going to jump. Goodbye."
Bush Jr. stood watching the performance of the Young Hero King, while Nancy showed a very worried expression.
There are two professional athletes accompanying ZSK in jumping off the building, one of them is a coach. ZSK is the most daring student he has ever seen. He learned three moves and two moves. He also dared to jump from high places from the beginning. This is indeed the first time he has jumped from such a high place. He only played in the training base before. several times.
The way ZSK looked relaxed on the TV screen before taking off shocked everyone who loved him or not. What kind of mental illness is this?
Amid a burst of exclamation, the young man with the majesty of Gilgamesh, the lion-taming hero king, walked against the wind, leaving the world with a messy back.
In order to fight against the Young Hero King, Page launched the Search Mutual Aid Association and invited Yahoo and Microsoft to join. The core element is the interoperability of accounts among the three giants. Gtalk, Yahoo Messenger and MSN have been a family since then, and later they also included Skype. This software focuses on IP telephony. Small and medium-sized enterprises with international long-distance phone calls especially like to use it to reduce communication expenses. ICQ, the originator of instant messaging, has also joined. Page's move is good, but the skills and experience of each party are uneven. It works, but it's awkward how to use it. After Sikong Ling tried these products, he smiled and said nothing.
I feel quite tired during this period, so I want to find a place to spend a vacation.
Sikong Ling registered a ZE Global Operations Center in a Caribbean island country called the Bahamas. Strange to say, Sikong Ling has never been to this place known as the global operations center. Because the Bahamas is just a famous ""Offshore financial center". Offshore financial centers are mainly used to avoid taxes. If you store U.S. dollars in the United States, you will have to pay interest tax. If there is an offshore financial center, you only need to pay a small management fee, which can save huge taxes. , financial companies and multinational companies around the world have huge deposits in offshore financial centers, amounting to tens of trillions of dollars. Otherwise, this approach is simply uncompetitive. Several of the world's famous offshore financial centers are located in North America. The Caribbean area between South America is mainly the Cayman Islands, the British Virgin Islands, and the Bahamas. The Bahamas is the closest to the mainland of the United States and is also the richest country in the Americas after the United States and Canada, so Sikong Ling I chose this place. British companies like Cayman and the British Virgin Islands. For example, the British bank Barclays, which has a core capital of 32 billion with the Bank of California, has nearly 20 subsidiaries in Cayman, and it is doing very well.
The largest industry in the Bahamas is not the financial industry, but tourism, and its scenery is still good. Most of the Caribbean island countries are tropical islands composed of coral reefs. You can see that the default wallpapers of Black Wizard and Silver Charm are beaches, which shows that Sikong Ling has a special liking for beaches. In order to take a vacation and take a look at his "global operations center", Sikong Ling took his Gulfstream G550 aircraft to the Bahamas.
The Bahamas has a Royal Defense Force. It sounds like a fortress, but in fact it only has a thousand people. Its national defense really relies on its status as a member of the Commonwealth and its good relationship with the US empire. Because it is a member of the Commonwealth, its head of state is the Governor-General representing the Queen of England, and the actual head of government is the Prime Minister.
In fact, the Bahamas is a small follower of the US emperor. They have to cooperate with the US emperor in all international affairs, so they respect the US tycoon ZSK very much. When they learned that Mr. ZSK was visiting here, within a few days, the Governor and the Prime Minister Come visit.
If this continues, the little fox ZSK will turn into a little politician. A few days later, another real politician arrived - Aristide, the former President of the Republic of Haiti who was forced into exile. There is a huge gap between rich and poor countries in the Caribbean, ranging from wealthy countries like the Bahamas to Haiti, one of the least developed countries in the world. The political situation in Haiti was in turmoil. Aristide had served as president three times in Haiti. Such a dazzling and powerful politician was actually forced into exile by a certain general more than a year ago.
A small country like the Bahamas, with a population of 300,000 in the country and 200,000 in the capital, is very well organized and organized in the tourism industry. It enjoys its small life by collecting management fees from offshore companies. The Republic of Haiti is different - recently With a population of tens of millions, and 95% of them are black, they don¡¯t speak English. 10% of the people can speak English, and the rest can speak a local language. This is too difficult to do. It is estimated that the little fox will only be able to See that Haiti is one of the least developed countries.
The old fox Aristide came with his think tank, and his mission was to ask ZSK to help poverty in Haiti. Sikong Ling wouldn't even bother to invest some money casually. It would be useless to throw money at such a broken country. However, the old fox's think tank actually moved ZSK with one sentence - Haiti's industry is extremely underdeveloped because of the lack of energy. , the small nuclear reactor invented by ZSK is said to be very cheap. If it can establish a reliable energy center for the Haitian industry, it will be very helpful for Haiti to escape extreme poverty. Haiti¡¯s per capita GDP is only a few hundred dollars, so it can¡¯t even afford a Dark Witch movie.
Doing charity is boring, but if the small nuclear power you have worked so hard to build can make a big difference in a country, it will still be very fulfilling. So Si Kongling and Aristide had an in-depth discussion about the situation in Haiti.
Because of the chaotic situation in Haiti, the United Nations replaced its temporary peacekeeping force with the [United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti] more than a year ago and is preparing to enter the country on a long-term basis.
Aristide was a tragic figure. He won support by sympathizing with the middle and lower classes, and also won the support of the Clinton administration in the United States. However, he made two mistakes. One was that he failed to control the army well. Because he could not control it, he disbanded it when he was in power. replaced government forces with police forces. Although the police force was well-controlled, its equipment and training were not as good as those of the regular army. Later, these troops regrouped and besieged Port-au-Prince, the capital of Haiti, and Aristide's police force was unable to resist. The second mistake was to fail to control the opposition leader. This must be blamed on the soft-heartedness of the US government, which did not allow him to kill his political opponents.
In fact, these two mistakes are not the most fatal mistakes. The most fatal thing is that the U.S. government will rotate. When George W. Bush came to power, he did not like Clinton who supported Aristide because Clinton took advantage of Bush¡¯s father¡¯s re-election. The dream was shattered. George W. Bush has no feelings for Aristide. You are a piece of trash. You can¡¯t even control the military. Now the situation has worsened. It¡¯s just an election year. The Caribbean is so close to Florida. Once the situation gets out of hand, there will be a large number of people. Refugees risked their lives by running to Florida by waterway. Florida, where George W. Bush's brother is the governor, is a constituency that Bush must win, so he used the quickest method to calm the situation - Aristide got out and held a new election.
Aristide was very frank and confessed everything about this matter, because he knew that with ZSK¡¯s connections in the US intelligence system, any lies could easily be exposed.
Aristide is a politician. He has said several times that the US military illegally abducted him and forced him into exile. The George W. Bush administration has never admitted it. This time he seized an opportunity, hoping to gain the support of ZSK and be re-elected in the upcoming Haitian general election. ZSK has been a figure of concern to Aristide since he became the leader of the "opposition" to impeach George W. Bush. Politicians in the Caribbean actually rely on watching the US emperor to make a living. They drink when the US emperor lets them drink. The emperor had to eat them to have meat. As for asking ZSK to go to Haiti to alleviate poverty this time, there are some truths and lies. It is true that he is asking for directions through stones. It is true that he will improve his prestige in Haiti through this matter, but it is more about looking for political allies, if there is still half a chance.
After sending away the old fox, the little fox has been thinking. He neither wants to help Aristide get elected, nor does he want to help Aristide come to power just to oppose George W. Bush. The only thing ZSK is interested in is how to improve it. Haiti's energy will transform this poor country. Unfortunately, the problem is too complex, and a small energy improvement obviously cannot save this mess. Moreover, this is a black country with a language barrier. Even if ZSK wanted to, it would not be able to integrate into it.
The young hero king is already half a political figure, how can he have real leisure time? He interrupted his vacation in the Bahamas to travel to Port-au-Prince, Haiti, to meet with officials from the United Nations Stabilization Mission.
Looking down from the plane, this is really a dilapidated country. The small shabby houses, the small shabby roads let alone energy, the infrastructure can make a huge difference in people's lives.
To build a country well, the most important thing is to have talented people and be willing to develop their own careers in this country, just like Europe after World War II. The entire continent was in ruins, but in the end it was rebuilt quickly, just like the Great Kanto Earthquake. Tokyo was so bad after that. At that time, Japan even considered moving the capital, but in the end, they still couldn't leave Tokyo and rebuilt it on the same spot.
Why are most black countries in the world poor? This is probably related to the fact that they entered modern society directly without undergoing "civilized" evolution. They lived a "happy" and "free" life like savages and were unable to adapt to the self-restraint and hard work of workers in industrial society. Apart from laziness, it is ignorance. When you don¡¯t have enough to eat, you can only fight.
Thinking of this, Sikong Ling simply didn¡¯t bother to go to Haiti. It was so boring, so he just let these barbarians die.
