Chapter 552: Trapped in the Elevator
"We will definitely not fail this time!" Liu Zhonglie's face was full of confidence: "After all, their Loongson computer has just been launched. It is immature in all aspects and does not yet have a complete ecosystem. We L Xiang has gone through ups and downs for more than ten years and is the leader in our industry. We will never lose this bid!"
"Yes, their Loongson computers are brand new. They have not been tested in practice and are not yet mature. Using this kind of computer is more risky!" Yang Qingfeng also said at the side: "After our operation during this period, many departments The leaders have already agreed with our view, and tomorrow’s bidding will just be a formality!”
They are the leaders in the domestic computer industry. They have been rooted in this industry for more than ten years. They have enough connections and absolute advantages to completely crush Loongson Computer. This is the most important thing for them at the moment. For them, This is the most critical battle!
Liu Zhonglie suddenly thought of something: "The venue we will bid for tomorrow is the government building on the 13th floor, right?"
"Yes."
“Then for the sake of safety, we have to relocate the building’s elevator manager.”
Elevator manager? Yang Qingfeng's eyes widened, and when Liu Zhonglie finished speaking, he couldn't help but give a thumbs up. Sure enough, **** is still hotter than ever! This time it is even more foolproof.
"By the way, should we also arrange their vehicles? So they can come here in a hurry..." Yang Qingfeng also opened his mind.
Almost at the same time, in a hotel in the capital, Qin Tao, who had just seen off his wife, saw an excited Mr. Ni.
"Mr. Qin, we have been working overtime in the past few months, and our brother units are also very good. Now our computers have an absolute advantage!" Mr. Ni said to Qin Tao: "We will definitely beat those guys who are not enterprising. I have to look for teeth all over the place!”
“Mr. Ni, please don’t be careless. We have confidence, and so does the other party. If the other party cannot beat us in terms of computer performance, they may resort to some evil ways. We must take all factors into consideration.”
Mr. Ni nodded: "Yes, those guys are also impatient. After all, we are touching their real big cake. Hmph, the soldiers will come to cover up the water and the earth!"
"Let's add it up again." Qin Tao said: "In order to avoid traffic jams, we need to set off at five o'clock in the morning, arrive at the destination at seven o'clock, and then have breakfast near the destination. , this question arises, how is the waterproofing of our machine? Will someone suddenly throw a bowl of tofu into it while eating breakfast? "
As soon as Mr. Ni's expression changed, even Xu Zhengyang was speechless. Mr. Qin, you are thinking too much. How can the other party be so shameless?
“Then let’s wrap an extra layer of waterproof tarpaulin outside.” Mr. Ni said.
Qin Tao nodded: "There must be someone watching, and the eyes cannot be diverted. By the way, the next step is the route into the interior. Is the bidding place on the top floor?"
“Yes, the top floor, after all, the bidding location is a computer room.”
In this era, computers are tall and expensive things. In order to avoid being stolen by thieves, they are usually designed on the top floor so that they can be locked easily.
“Then we can’t take the elevator.”
“Why?” Mr. Ni was a little curious, the thirteenth floor!
“If we get in and the elevator suddenly breaks down, and the elevator is not repaired until the bidding is over, then wouldn’t we have missed the bidding?”
Mr. Ni only felt a chill in his heart, and Xu Zhengyang couldn't help but said: "Mr. Qin, if they dare to do this, I will..."
"What can you do? Even if the problem is finally traced, the most you can do is to fire a few temporary workers. Zhengyang, tomorrow's bidding is very important. There will be many leaders getting together. The leaders are busy with their work. After this village, there will be no If we miss the bid for this store, those leaders will definitely not wait for us. Even if we are tricked, no one will pity us."
Xu Zhengyang nodded.
All details must be considered carefully. After all, bidders getting stuck in elevators have also happened.
Now we are going to hit the opponent's vital point directly, and we are going to rob the biggest piece of meat in the opponent's mouth. The opponent will definitely go all out, and all kinds of tricks may appear.
This day was spent amidst all kinds of tension. Many people couldn't sleep well at night because of excitement and nervousness. When they woke up the next day, their eyes were a little red. However, after washing their faces, they felt energetic. That's enough.
It’s summer now, so before five o’clock, it’s already dawn, and a van drives out of the hotel and heads for its destination.
Just after driving two intersections, the van snorted a few times and then stalled.
"No, our car has broken down!" The driver was sweating profusely, and his face turned extremely pale after he couldn't turn on the engine twice in a row.
"These guys are really shady!" Xu Zhengyang clenched his fists: "Mr. Qin, they are unkind, so don't blame us for being unjust!"
Qin Tao glanced at Xu Zhengyang in surprise: "Did you make preparations last night?"
Xu Zhengyang nodded, then took out his mobile phone. A few minutes later, a backup vehicle drove over. This was a more aggressive Mitsubishi Pajero with police lights flashing on it.
If Qin Tao wasn't around, the other party might really succeed. This road is a bit remote, and it's not easy to stop a yellow bread truck running all over the street. The other party could even arrange for a car to come over and deliberately pull the big guy over. Go further afield.
However, Qin Tao and Xu Zhengyang are here, so it is not appropriate to call a car over.
The car continued to move forward, and arrived at the breakfast point half an hour earlier than the scheduled time, and finished breakfast safely.
On the other side, the person I was thinking about had just set off unhurriedly.
"Mr. Liu, those people have arrived!" Yang Qingfeng hurried over and said to Liu Zhonglie.
“Already arrived? What car are they taking?” Liu Zhonglie asked curiously.
“Naval vehicle.”
Liu Zhonglie's expression changed: "Mr. Qin is here too?"
If he was just dealing with Mr. Ni, he would have enough confidence. However, when Mr. Qin comes, everything will have to be reconsidered. Isn't Mr. Qin very busy? Why did he come suddenly?
“Well, do we need to change our follow-up plan?”
At this moment, Yang Qingfeng's cell phone rang again. After answering the call, he said with helplessness on his face: "Mr. Liu, they went up the stairs."
All the arrangements were useless. These people were so amazing that they could predict all kinds of dangers in advance!
“Let’s go, even if we don’t rely on this method, we can still successfully bid!” Liu Zhonglie said, getting into his limousine.
I think the headquarters is very close to the bidding location, so they don't have to worry at all. Since the staff of Loongson Computer are willing to go there early, let them go there.
When getting out of the car, Liu Zhonglie glanced at the building next to him, took a deep breath, and then waved to the people around him: "Let's go!"
There are four of them, Liu Zhonglie and Yang Qingfeng are the leaders, and the two behind them are technicians. The two people in the front were each holding a briefcase, wearing suits and leather shoes, and looked like successful people. The two people in the back were wearing work clothes from the L Xiang Group, and each was holding a computer.
Monitors, keyboards and mice are all provided at the destination. All they have to do is bring the host computer there.
Liu Zhonglie and Yang Qingfeng have been here many times. They are very familiar with this place. They opened the door outside and went straight to the elevator.
There is more than one elevator in this kind of building. The three elevators are arranged together, which looks very high-end. When the elevator manager on the side saw a few people coming, he nodded and bowed, then picked up his badge and swiped it on the elevator.
drop!
The elevator door opened, four people got on the elevator and pressed the 13 button.
“You can’t find the 13 button in the West.” Yang Qingfeng said casually: “After all, 13 is an unlucky number for the West.”
“Then how did they get to the 13th floor?” The man holding the computer was curious.
“Replace it with 12A.” Before Yang Qingfeng could finish speaking, suddenly, the light above his head went out.
“What’s going on?” Liu Zhonglie suddenly became anxious.
“Don’t worry, maybe the light bulb is broken.” Yang Qingfeng took out his mobile phone.
Mobile phones in this era did not yet have a flashlight function. They had to wait until the technological breakthrough of LED light-emitting diodes. Only the small light from the mobile phone screen could shine, just like a lighthouse on the sea.
There was still a buzzing sound coming from above their heads. It was the exhaust fan working, which meant that the elevator was still in good condition and they just needed to wait in the dark.
One second, two seconds, three seconds... Time passed slowly like this, and Liu Zhonglie finally reacted: "Damn, the elevator is broken! The elevator is not moving!"
He should have noticed immediately that the display screen above the door inside the car had also gone out! This is definitely not because the light bulb inside the elevator is broken, it is clearly that the elevator is broken!
broken?
Yang Qingfeng also reacted, and the sweat on his forehead suddenly broke out.
Yesterday, Liu Zhongyeol came up with this plan in order to be more safe: trap the bidding teams in the elevator. As long as these people cannot participate in the bidding, everything will be solved!
Yang Qingfeng added an additional plan: let the other party's car break down, wasting time on the way, and then the other party enters the elevator in a panic, so that he can be trapped inside.
But now, why are we trapped?
Yang Qingfeng started to smash the elevator door.
“Hey, is there anyone out there? Is there anyone out there?”
咣咣壣!
He pounded harder and faster, but no sound could be heard from outside.
"Damn, what on earth is going on?" Liu Zhonglie cursed, and then looked at Yang Qingfeng: "How did you arrange it? Did you give the right target a photo?"
"Of course you are right." Yang Qingfeng suddenly realized: "Did the elevator manager treat us as a target?"
As expected, he is a person with high IQ, and he thought of the truth in a moment.
They found the person and arranged the matter. They originally planned to trick the people from Loongson Computer, but unexpectedly, they tricked themselves instead!
Since this trick was too damaging, of course it was impossible for Yang Qingfeng to have close contact with the people here when making arrangements. He only contacted the people on the phone and then put an envelope in the small elevator management room with a large pile of money. and a target photo.
Once something happens in the future, the most they can do is trace it to the elevator manager. It is impossible to trace them back here.
Who would have thought that someone else would actually take advantage of them, and the method of use was very simple, that is, they would change the photos and make the elevator manager think that they were targets, so when they got on the elevator, they would trick them. Got it!
so bad!
They were still smashing the elevator door, but their efforts were in vain. If they guessed correctly, according to the arrangement at the time, the elevator below had been blocked, indicating that it was being repaired. At the same time, the floor where it was parked was a warehouse. There is no one!
The elevator manager can handle all of this.
Elevator administrator is a special position that appeared in a specific period. In today's era, elevators are still very high-end. Even if some units only have one high-rise building and three elevators, they will hire an elevator administrator to take care of them. Holding the elevator, doing normal maintenance, and helping people inside to relieve themselves during a power outage. Normally, they just hold the card and help swipe the card to see who needs to take the elevator.
General staff? Take the stairs, only leaders can take the elevator.
It was not until the 21st century that there were more and more high-rise buildings and elevators became civilians, so the position of elevator administrator disappeared.
Xu Zhengyang's ability to do things has gradually improved. As Qin Tao traveled around and did so many things, he naturally became familiar with how to be a yin person.
Anyway, there are many people protecting Qin Tao. As long as he contacts those people, he can easily solve the matter. After all, the other party is not only a person from Yinlongxin Computer, but also President Yin Qin. Last time Qin Tao The president has had an accident in the elevator before. How could the elevator pose a threat to Mr. Qin this time?
At this time, the door of the computer center on the 13th floor has been opened, and several people came in with computers. Mr. Ni greeted the people inside with a smile: "Old Zhao, we need to prepare in advance, thank you for your hard work."
"Well, the peripherals you want are all ready." The computer administrator named Lao Zhao guided everyone into a special room. This was originally a preparation room with only computer desks and no computers. The tables and chairs have been wiped clean and are arranged in a circle to facilitate the leaders to sit.
Six sets of tables and chairs, various peripherals, and equipment such as projectors have been prepared at the rostrum, waiting for bidders.
The reason why there are six sets is because in addition to L Xiang and Loongson, there is another domestic giant, Founder.
Founder is indeed a giant. In 1991, their profits exceeded 100 million. However, the main business of this giant is not computers, but laser typesetting systems. It is definitely the leader in the printing industry. After breaking away from WF After the relationship, they even attracted new opportunities for development.
In the past, in order to whitewash fairness, L wanted to come together with Founder during the bidding process. This made the process appear formal, and Founder didn't take it too seriously. He would get as many orders as he could get.
This time, they still have the same attitude. With the addition of Loongson Computer, the competition is expected to become even more intense.
After the installation of the Loongson computer was completed, people from the Founder Group also came over.
“For such an important matter, Lao Wang didn’t even come over?” Mr. Ni looked at the person opposite and said with a smile.
Mr. Ni has also worked in the capital for many years and knows everyone in this circle. Of course, he also knows the person who is leading the team this time from Fang Zheng, who is his old friend Li You.
Speaking of the laser phototypesetting system, we have to mention Lao Wang. This person can be said to be the father of laser phototypesetting in China. Before him, domestic printing could only use lead type. Lead is poisonous and many printers know how to do it. lead poisoning. Lao Wang devoted himself to research and even designed the relevant chips himself, completing the development of this printing equipment amidst rumors and rumors.
Now, Lao Wang is still the top leader of Founder Group. Just like L wanted to start his career with Hanka, Founder also relied on technology. Unfortunately, later on, Lao Wang left and others took over, and the good high-tech enterprise was crippled. .
“Lao Wang is busy researching the new generation system, so he sent me here.” Li You said with a smile. He is Lao Wang’s partner. He will take part in the bidding, so that’s pretty much it.
"Besides, we are here just as a foil. The competition this time is very fierce. We didn't have any hope. By the way, what do you think L? Why haven't you come yet?" Li You said, looking at the people in front of him. Booth: "Can we occupy the center? Separate the two of you so that we don't have to fight."
Of course, the central place is the best, and all leaders can see it clearly. In later generations, it is called the C position. However, Qin Tao and others don't care. Anyway, there are three companies bidding, and only one is in the central government. Instead of competing for the C position, It's better to let it go openly.
Do you think you and L will have a fight? Of course not, because L thinks it will be difficult to appear in this bidding field.
By the time they were almost ready, they still didn’t see anyone from the L Xiang Group, but a famous leader started to sit down.
When they saw Qin Tao at the scene, they all greeted Qin Tao enthusiastically.
“Mr. Qin, I’m free today.”
“Mr. Qin, are you here to cheer me up?”
Faced with these questions, Qin Tao did not hide anything: "Yes, the products produced by our Mingzhou Group must be high-quality products. Our domestic products should strengthen ourselves."
After all the leaders were seated, Leader Li, who was in charge of presiding over the meeting, spoke up: "The time is coming soon. Why hasn't the bidding team of L Xiang Group arrived yet?"
"I have contacted the group headquarters and they said they have already set off."
Just set off? Leader Li glanced at the person in charge with dissatisfaction: "We can't waste any more time. Let's first ask Loongson Computer to introduce the excellent performance of their computers."
“Yes.” Mr. Ni became excited. He motioned to his assistant to open the computer, and he stood in front of the projection screen.
“First of all, I would like to introduce to you all the leaders. We are currently bidding on two main products, namely the Dragon Edition and the Long Yue Edition. The quotations are 7,999 yuan and 10,999 yuan. First, let’s look at the Dragon Edition.”
Elaborate slides appeared on the projection screen, which were constantly changing with Mr. Ni's introduction. After the red quotation, they were introduced separately.
“First of all, the Dragon Edition uses two Loongson-1 processors, which are our Godson-1 processors, as the brain.”
Just hearing this sentence, Li You was shocked: "What did you say? You used dual CPUs? Isn't this only used by servers?"
Has anyone seen dual CPUs used on home computers? Now the bidding is just for ordinary computers.
"Yes, we use dual-CPU technology that is only available on servers, which can make our computer's multi-tasking capability more powerful. For example, we can scan and kill viruses while working normally. Now, we will give Let’s demonstrate it.”
Needless to say, in this era, even at the beginning of the 21st century, some computers will fall into a state of suspended animation when virus scanning is performed.
Even if a computer is turned on with anti-virus software, even if it is only under protection, the computer will run slowly.
At this point, the screen is replaced by the desktop.
There are some icons on the left side of the desktop, and the icon of KV3000 is clearly visible, but the entire desktop is still very strange, which is very different from the famous win95. On the background pattern in the upper right corner of the desktop, there are big characters of "Red Flag Linux".
At this time, KV3000 started running and entered the anti-virus mode, with countless files jumping around.
While disinfecting the virus, the operator easily opened a folder and performed various displays: file browsing, data retrieval, and web browsing.
Even after he opened a window, he did not close it at all, but continued to open the next window. In this way, five or six windows were opened in a row, and the computer still ran normally!
Everyone opened their eyes wide.
As long as they have been exposed to computers, they have this experience: if the anti-virus software is activated, the computer will be useless and nothing can be done. But now, this computer is not affected at all!
This is of course the advantage of dual CPUs. After program optimization, one CPU is responsible for executing the anti-virus program and the other is responsible for other programs. In addition, this system is very simple to begin with, so it runs faster.
After the various displays were completed, there was already a burst of applause.
“Next, let me show you our Longyue computer. This computer uses four Loongson processors and is equipped with 128 MB of memory.”
What?
"Your configuration is so high?" Li You said in surprise: "In this case, we have no chance at all!"
In this era, it is already mainstream for personal computers to be equipped with 32 MB of memory, and 64 MB is very high. 128 MB? Don’t even think about it except the server!
No wonder the computer just now ran very smoothly. In addition to having two processors, it was also equipped with 64 MB of memory. And this Longyue computer actually got it right in one step, equipped with a 128 MB memory stick! This is about to fly!
In fact, Founder Group can also make this kind of configuration, but the price is about 30,000. Loongson Computer only quoted a price of 10,999, but it actually provides this kind of configuration?
“This computer is intended for in-depth users in government agencies, such as making various large-scale reports, dealing with a large number of technical problems, etc. It is prepared for professionals.” Mr. Ni continued to talk.
