Chapter 2236 Stealing the limelight from “Microsoft”

July 22, 2005, is destined to be a day worthy of being remembered by all mankind in future generations.

On this day, Microsoft announced that it was developing the next generation of www.piaotian.comdows-vista, originally codenamed longhorn. This is a new version of Microsoft's operating system four years after it released the "XP" operating system on October 25, 2001.

A brand new operating system. For this operating system, the official explanation given by "Microsoft" is - more gorgeous and faster.

Hundreds of millions of fans around the world are looking forward to it.

But on this day, there is another more grand event, and that is the holding of the "World's No. 1 Martial Arts Tournament" organized by Lin Feng. Kung Fu stars from all over the world are participating in this event, in order to compete for the highest honor of the world's No. 1 Martial Arts Tournament.

And fight hard.

"Bill, the number of people attending today's press conference may not be as large as that of 'XP'." Microsoft President Ballmer sighed.

"Well, many reporters have gone to Dubai, so naturally we are deserted." Bill Gates shrugged helplessly.

"Bill, are you saying that Lin Feng has to choose today? Is he sincerely trying to get in trouble with us?" Ballmer said suddenly.

Bill Gates thought for a moment and shook his head. It's hard to say. Sometimes Lin Feng's actions are too exaggerated, and no one can guess what he is thinking. But this day is indeed not a good day.

"Forget it, don't worry about him. Anyway, we at Microsoft have never been able to get what we want. The upgrading of this operating system is imperative." Bill Gates said firmly.

Ballmer also nodded repeatedly. This operating system upgrade will bring more than one or two profits to Microsoft. First of all, this system can be sold for money, which is a large amount of profit that makes people want to commit crimes. Secondly,

When the operating system is changed, the corresponding software must also be changed. For example, Microsoft's 'office' series naturally needs to keep up with the trend, which is another income. After that, major software manufacturers around the world

We need to launch corresponding software, which will be another income.

Although this income has little to do with "Microsoft", it does arise because of "Microsoft". Naturally, major software manufacturers are eager for "Microsoft" to change operating systems more often, and they can also sell more sets of software. Therefore, just 'operate'

The replacement of the system will bring about a huge chain of interests. This will allow "Microsoft" to continue to firmly kidnap major software manufacturers and hardware manufacturers on its own chariot and consolidate its status as a software empire.

If so, will consumers be dissatisfied? If consumers are satisfied and dissatisfied, it is useless. When more advanced and better things come out, consumers will pay for them. This is an eternal truth. Because people like the new and hate the old.

.Of course, there are some exceptions, but they are not the mainstream.

"It's time." Ballmer looked at his watch.

"It's time." Bill Gates nodded and turned on the large screen in his office. This was specially purchased for the "World's No. 1 Budokai", just to enjoy this once-in-a-century showdown of global kung fu stars.

At this time, it is 19:00 on July 22, 2005, when thousands of houses are lit up. Of course, this time is mainly in China, which is 6:00 in the morning in the United States. Bill Gates and Ballmer plan to watch

After the opening ceremony, I went to hold the 'vista' press conference. The time was just right.

It’s finally started! Kung Fu movie fans around the world are screaming with excitement. At this moment, all kung fu movie fans have beer, popcorn and other items placed in front of them, ready to see the world’s kung fu stars.

Dubai, 'The Best Martial Arts Hall in the World'. This is a hall specially built for this "The Best Martial Arts Hall in the World" in Dubai, with a total investment of 1.2 billion US dollars. It adopts the most cutting-edge high technology in the world. Open the roof of the venue, and you can

The competition can be held during the day and can be held at night by closing the roof. There are a total of 11,800 seats in the venue. Each seat is made of leather sofas. It is absolutely luxurious and in line with Dubai's usual style. There are a total of four seats in the venue.

The 100-inch large LCD screen allows people in the back row who cannot see the ring to understand the details. In addition, each seat has a fixed handheld computer, which is directly connected to the Internet, allowing every audience to participate in a timely manner*

**,Support your favorite kung fu stars.

In mid-air in the middle of the martial arts hall, four steel wires as thick as a little finger are used to connect a statue about 17.2 meters high. This statue is exactly the same 10 times the scale statue of Mr. Bruce Lee, the founder of the world’s kung fu movies (Bruce Lee

Height 1.72), and is made of pure gold. Under the light of the light, the golden light shines, and as soon as you come in, you feel a strong wind blowing on your face, and a strong pressure. And it is this statue that makes the whole

The martial arts hall has a "martial arts" atmosphere.

Wen Wu is first, Wu Wu is second, today is the glorious moment to determine who among the global Kung Fu superstars is the best in the world!

"Gentlemen and ladies, welcome to Dubai!" The host is none other than Lin Feng and Dubai Crown Prince Harmandan. This is the first competition, and both parties hope to make this competition a

It has been a long-standing and prosperous competition, so the first session was hosted by two people. Fortunately, for these two people, it is not difficult to talk.

"I think everyone must be very clear about this grand event. I won't be verbose here. I don't think anyone likes my verbosity." Lin Feng said with a smile.

There was laughter all around. Among these laughter, there were many rich people from all over the world. Dubai is a country made of gold, a city built in the desert. Those who can come to visit are rich people. They are very interested in such a unique fight.

The competition is very curious. Of course, the people here cannot be the very rich ones. The really rich people cannot be here. They will arrive at Lin Feng's "Wind God", where the real money will be.

The stage for the super rich.

"I won't say anything more. Let's go directly to the art part. We invite the superstar from Taiwan - Jay Chou!" Lin Feng introduced loudly, "He will perform a song called "Nunchaku"."

Jay Chou! The entire Southeast Asia region is screaming. Now Jay Chou is sweeping across Southeast Asia, and his charm is catching up with the Four Heavenly Kings. His appearance immediately ignited the passion of Southeast Asian audiences in front of the TV.

"Next we will invite ladegaga from the United States!" Harmandan's voice fell to the ground, and this time it was the American audience's turn to go crazy.

Ladegaga is now the hottest new star in the United States. With his unique clothes and various shocking styles, he has become the focus of the United States. His popularity is unparalleled for a while.

"Next is Celine Dion from the UK!" Lin Feng's voice sounded.

...

As the superstars appeared one after another, the atmosphere of the "World's No. 1 Budokai" reached a climax. However, for all the viewers watching in front of the TV, although this is attractive enough, it is not the most attractive. Really

The most attractive thing is the next competition, this is the key.

Finally, when Michael Jackson sang the last song, everyone became nervous again. The next step was the group draw.

"Everyone, according to the rules of this competition, there are currently 16 participating teams from around the world, including China, ***, South Korea, Thailand, the United States, Brazil, Spain, France, Germany, ***, Russia, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and India.

New Zealand and Israel, 16 countries, will be divided into four groups for the group stage, and then the top two in each group will advance to the quarterfinals and the knockout rounds." Lin Feng said loudly.

"Now, let's invite contestants from 16 countries to appear!" Harmandan said excitedly.

All the audience were excited. They had been waiting for a long time and it was finally about to start.

During the passionate march, Donnie Yen, Jet Li, Jackie Chan, Johnson, Tony Jaa...the kung fu superstars who are familiar to the audience entered the hall one after another. The cheers from the audience suddenly became enthusiastic, even more enthusiastic than those sports stars just now.

"Everyone, the rules of this competition will be one-on-one elimination based on the country. The winner will continue to compete and the loser will be eliminated until all three are ready for elimination." Lin Feng announced.

The applause rang out like crazy. This competition mode is extremely crazy, and it is a competition method that maximizes the passion of the audience. This is usually used in those fighting competitions, such as "UFC" and other competitions. I didn't expect that this star fighting competition would also adopt such a crazy method.

Competition mode.

God, this is so exciting! Isn’t he afraid that these celebrities will get injured? Although there are many bonuses, with a total bonus worth 100 million US dollars, the level of injuries in such a crazy game is very high. If anyone is injured, then

But that's troublesome. This cannot be ignored for any star.

"Everyone, in order to ensure the life safety of all the participating stars in this competition, my personal 'bank insurance company' will underwrite the insurance coverage of US$10 million for each fighting star." Lin Feng announced loudly.

Hiss! 10 million U.S. dollars, this completely solves the worries of all fighting stars. Originally, everyone was still worried that if something happened and their acting careers were reimbursed, it would be over. Now with 10 million U.S. dollars of insurance, there is no need to worry

.10 million US dollars is enough to make anyone worry-free for the rest of his life.

"My Chinese Medicine Company will be responsible for providing medical protection for this event, and the most mysterious Chinese medicine doctor will be responsible for it," Lin Feng said loudly.

Traditional Chinese medicine? Everyone was stunned. Can this, can this treat? Can it save people? This thought popped up in everyone's mind.
Chapter completed!
