July 22, 2005, is destined to be a day worthy of being remembered by all mankind.
On this day, Microsoft announced that the next generation of Windows operating system, originally named Longhorn, is under development, officially named Windows Vista. This is a brand new operating system after Microsoft released xp on October 25, 2001. The official explanation given by Microsoft for this operating system is that it is more gorgeous and faster.
Millions of fans around the world are looking forward to it.
But on this day, there is a more grand event, that is, the "world''s first martial arts association" held by Lin Feng. Kung Fu stars all over the world participate in this competition, fighting for the highest honor in the world.
"Bill, the number of people present at today''s press conference may not be as large as that of XP." Microsoft president Ballmer sighed.
"Well, a lot of journalists have gone to Dubai. We are naturally deserted here." Bill Gates shrugged helplessly.
"Bill, you said that Lin Feng had to choose today. Are you sincere enough to have a hard time with us?" Ballmer said suddenly.
Bill Gates thought and shook his head. It''s hard to say. Lin Feng''s behavior is too exaggerated sometimes. No one can guess what he thinks. But this is not a good day.
"Forget it, don''t worry about it. Anyway, we Microsoft have never been unable to get what we want. It is imperative to upgrade the operating system. " Bill Gates said firmly.
Ballmer also nodded. This operating system upgrade will bring Microsoft more than one or two profits. First of all, the system can sell for money, which is a huge profit that makes people want to commit crimes. Secondly, if the operating system is changed, all kinds of corresponding software will have to be changed. For example, Microsoft''s office series will naturally keep up with the trend, which is another revenue. After that, the major software manufacturers in the world will launch corresponding software, which is another revenue.
Although this income has little to do with "Microsoft", it is due to "Microsoft". The major software manufacturers are naturally eager for "Microsoft" to change the operating system more, and they can also sell a few more sets of software by the way. Therefore, only the replacement of the "operating system" will bring a huge chain of benefits. This will enable "Microsoft" to continue to firmly kidnap major software manufacturers and hardware manufacturers in its own chariot and consolidate its position as a software empire.
If so, will consumers be dissatisfied? It''s no use if consumers are satisfied or not. When more advanced and better things come out, consumers will pay. This is an eternal truth. Because people like the new and dislike the old. Of course, there are individual exceptions, but that''s not the mainstream.
"Time is up." Ballmer, look at the watch.
"Time is up." Bill Gates nodded and turned on the big screen in his office. This is specially purchased for "the world''s best martial arts association", just to enjoy the once-in-a-hundred-year global Kung Fu Star duel.
At this time, it was 19:00 p.m. on July 22, 2005. Of course, this time is dominated by China, that is, 6 a.m. in the United States. Bill Gates and Ballmer plan to hold a news conference of "Vista" after watching the opening ceremony. Just in time.
It''s finally starting! Kung Fu fans all over the world are screaming with excitement. At the moment, all Kung Fu fans have put beer, popcorn and other things in front of them, ready to see the world''s Kung Fu stars.
Dubai, "the world''s best martial arts guild.". This is the guild hall specially built by Dubai for the "world''s first martial arts association", with a total investment of 1.2 billion US dollars, adopting the most cutting-edge high technology in the world today. Open the roof of the stadium, you can hold the competition in the daytime, close the roof, you can hold the competition in the night. There are a total of 11800 seats in the venue. Each seat is made of leather sofa, which is absolutely luxurious and consistent with Dubai''s style. Inside the venue, there are four 100 inch LCD screens for those who can''t see the arena clearly in the back row to understand the details. In addition, each seat has a fixed handheld computer, which is directly connected to the Internet, so that each audience can vote in time to support their favorite Kung Fu stars.
In the mid air of the martial arts school, a statue about 17.2 meters high is made of four steel wires with small fingers. And this statue is the same proportion of Mr. Bruce Lee, the founder of the world kung fu film (Bruce Lee is 1.72 high), and it is made of pure gold. In the light of the light, it''s shining. As soon as you come in, you feel like a strong wind and a strong air pressure top. And it is this statue that gives the whole martial arts guild hall the flavor of "martial arts".
Wen No. 1, No. 2 martial arts, today is to determine who is the world''s greatest glory!
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Dubai!" The host is no one else, but Lin Feng and Dubai crown prince hamandan. This is the first competition. Both sides hope to make it a long-term and prosperous competition, so the first competition will be hosted by two people. Fortunately, it''s not hard for both of them to talk.
"I think everyone must have been very clear about this grand meeting. I won''t be wordy here. I don''t think anyone likes me to be wordy." Lin Feng said with a smile.
There was laughter all around. Among these laughter, there are rich people from all over the world. Dubai is a country made of gold. It is a city built in the desert. Rich people can come to visit. They are very curious about such a unique fighting competition. Of course, the people here can''t be the very rich. The real rich can''t be here. They will arrive at Lin Feng''s Fengshen, which is the stage of the real super rich.
"I don''t want to say anything more. Now I''m going directly to the literary and artistic stage. Let''s welcome Jay Chou from Taiwan Lin Feng said aloud, "he will bring a song" shuangjieguan. "
Jay Chou! The whole Southeast Asia is screaming. Today, Jay Chou has swept Southeast Asia, and his charm is catching up with the four heavenly kings. His appearance immediately ignited the passion of Southeast Asian audience in front of TV.
"Next we''ll invite ladega from the United States!" Hamandan''s voice fell to the ground. This time, it''s the turn of the American audience to go crazy.
Ladega is now the most popular new star in the United States. With its unique clothing and various shocking shapes, ladega has become the focus of the United States. It has been in the limelight for a while.
"Next is Celine Dion from England!" The voice of Lin Feng rings.
......
With the appearance of superstars, the atmosphere of the "world''s first martial arts association" reached a climax. However, for all the audience watching in front of the TV, although this is attractive enough, it is not the most attractive. What''s really attractive is the next competition, which is the key.
Finally, when Michael Jackson finished the last song, everyone got nervous again. Then there''s the group draw.
"Ladies and gentlemen, according to the rules of this competition, there are 16 teams in the world, including China, Japan, South Korea, Thailand, the United States, Brazil, Spain, France, Germany, Mongolia, Russia, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, India, New Zealand and Israel. Will be divided into four groups for the group, and then the first two of each group into the final eight, into the knockout Lin Feng said.
"Now, let''s invite players from 16 countries to come on the stage!" Hamandan said excitedly.
All the audience were excited. They have been waiting for a long time, and at last they are about to start.
In the passionate March, Donnie Yen, Jet Li, Jackie Chan, Johnson, Tony Jia... These Kung Fu stars familiar to the audience enter the guild hall in turn. The cheers of the whole audience suddenly became more enthusiastic than those sports stars just now.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the rules of this competition will be one-on-one elimination according to the national background. The winner will continue to compete and the loser will be eliminated until all three are ready to be eliminated." Lin Feng announced.
The applause went wild. This competition mode, extremely crazy, is the biggest way to mobilize the enthusiasm of the audience. This is usually in those fighting competitions, such as "UFC" and other competitions. I didn''t expect that this star fighting competition would take such a crazy competition mode.
Oh, my God, this is so exciting! Isn''t he afraid of these stars getting hurt? Although there are many prizes, the total prize value is 100 million dollars, but such a crazy game, the degree of injury is very high. If someone is injured, it will be troublesome, which can''t be ignored for any star.
"Ladies and gentlemen, in order to ensure the life safety of all the stars participating in this competition, my personal" bancassurance company "will underwrite the insurance, and each fighting star will be insured for $10 million." Lin Feng announced loudly.
Hiss! 10 million dollars, which completely solved the worries of all fighting stars. Originally, people were still worried that in case of any accident, entertainment career reimbursement, it was over. Now that you have $10 million in coverage, you''re not afraid. Ten million dollars is enough to make anyone happy for the rest of his life.
"It will be my" Chinese medicine company "that will provide medical protection for this competition. We will have the most mysterious traditional Chinese medicine to solve it." Said Lin fenglang.
chinese medicine? Everyone was stunned. Can this, this be treated? Can you save people? The idea came into everyone''s mind.
Lin Feng smiles faintly. In addition to promoting Chinese martial arts, another purpose of the "world''s first martial arts association" is to promote traditional Chinese medicine( It''s not finished yet.
