"The murderer who shot my parents committed suicide. The Court of Owls, the mastermind behind the hired killers, were all wiped out by Harley.
I don’t feel sorry for not being able to take revenge personally, but I feel a little sad and empty.
When I left Gotham, I made up my mind to find another way to complete my revenge.
Who stipulates that revenge must bring killing, bloodshed and new hatred?
I swore in front of my parents’ graves that I would achieve my purpose of revenge by protecting them.
Protecting others from the same tragic fate is the greatest revenge for the evil and unfair fate of mankind.”
A few years have passed, Bruce's mind has become more mature, and his three views have almost been firmly formed.
At this moment, facing Ah Fu’s inquiry, there was no confusion in his eyes.
On the contrary, eagerness appeared on his face.
Afu sighed and took out a "board" that surprised Bruce.
“This is an MP4? It’s so big and thin.” Bruce said.
“Well, Master, have you lived in the mountains these past few years?” Ah Fu paused and asked.
“That’s right, I studied under a teacher near Mount Everest, and there is no Internet connection in the mountain.” Bruce said with a complicated expression.
“Alas, MP3 and MP4 have been eliminated long ago. This is a tablet computer produced by Apple in Paradise Mountain.”
“I seem to have an impression of Apple Computer, but Paradise Mountain, this avatar looks a bit like Harley?”
After long pressing Afu to start the system, the system startup interface is a cartoon-style simple drawing, which looks like an old friend.
“That’s Miss Quinn, her company’s electronic products all have this picture,” Ah Fu said casually.
Well, someone is imitating Sister Dong.
However, she still has some sense of integrity and does not directly take a high-definition "beauty" photo to offend people like Sister Dong did. Well, with Harley's charming appearance, maybe there will not be such a negative effect?
Say you can’t sell it better?
“Harry’s company? I remember the boss of Apple is Steve Jobs.”
Afudao: "Jobs is the founder of Apple, but in 2007, Gotham was optimizing its industrial structure, and the municipal government came up with a package of policies to encourage high-tech industries.
Miss Quinn has received billions of dollars in loans.
She first purchased a large number of electronic technology patents from our Wayne Company and established the "Paradise Mountain" company to specialize in the production of smartphones.
In the same year, Apple also launched its own iPhone.
As you know, Wayne holds the entire set of patents for 3G information technology.
Bought by Miss Quinn.
In fact, the 4G information technology that was about to be developed and perfected, along with the technology development department, were packaged by Miss Quinn and became a branch of Paradise Mountain.
Then there was no more.
Apple was beaten to the ground by Tianshanshan, which mastered the core technology.
In 2009, Apple was acquired by Paradise Mountain.
In other words, Apple Computer Company has become one of the industries of the Tianshan Mountain Group.”
Bruce frowned and said: "Why did you sell the 3g and 4g patents to Harley? Even if I haven't graduated from high school, I know they are high-quality assets.
How much money did we make when it was 2g?”
“If you don’t sell it, you will go bankrupt.” Afu said numbly.
“Wayne Group went bankrupt?” Bruce asked in disbelief.
Afu reminded: "Our company is being thoroughly investigated by the government for the Indian Mountain Incident, do you remember?
Before you left, you specifically ordered all departments in the company to cooperate with Miss Quinn’s investigation, but too many were found, you know.”
“I trusted Harley, so I asked Harley to investigate the Wayne Group, but I didn’t let her poach me!” Bruce frowned.
“She didn’t break the law.”
“Without using illegal means or insider trading, the board of directors can give in? Are they all idiots?” Bruce looked doubtful.
"Well, she didn't break the law, it's just that after the 'Indian Hill Incident', the Gotham government passed a new bill, the 'Anti-Wayne Act.'" Afu said.
“What? Isn’t this illegal?” Bruce was no longer calm.
In order to avoid poaching him illegally, we might as well establish a law that makes her behavior illegal.
This is simply making fun of the law.
Too evil!
Afu hesitated for a moment, then simply opened "Google Encyclopedia" and searched for "Anti-Wayne Act".
Below the anti-Wayne Act entry, there is a series of representative comments.
Bruce looked over and was stunned.
“The cry of the citizens of Gotham: The evil Wayne Group can no longer rule Gotham. Long live the Anti-Wayne Act, long live Mayor Quinn. "Gotham Gazette."
“Gotham’s economy has developed rapidly in recent years, and the Anti-Wayne Act is one of the most important contributors. It has made Gotham’s economy full of new vitality, Nobel Prize-winning economist Dr. Mordezren.”
“The Anti-Wayne Act is essentially an antitrust bill. Wayne’s control over Gotham’s economy and people’s livelihood exceeds Samsung’s control over Seoul.
What’s even more frightening is that because of the United States’ hegemony over the world, foreign companies are unable to challenge the Wayne Group in Gotham.
Gotham used to be like a pool of stagnant water that smelled of rotting corpses, as hopeless as an open bottle of mineral water in the Sahara Desert.
In such a desperate situation, it is indeed a blessing for Gotham to have a reformer full of courage, courage and wisdom like Mayor Quinn.
"World Economic Review Gotham Special Issue"
“Is the Anti-Wayne Act saving Gotham? Or are these commentators taking Harley’s dirty money?
Also, what’s going on with Google, where’s Wayne’s ‘hello’ search engine?” Bruce looked confused.
Afudao: "You may not know that Google was acquired by us in the early years."
“I know, Harley also lost a lot of money on Google.” Bruce interrupted.
Ah Fu nodded and said with emotion: "That's right, Miss Quinn said at that time that I wanted to fight, not to get back what I had lost, but to tell everyone how great I am!
Then, in her "Industrial Optimization Plan", she asked the board of directors to draw blood from Hello Company and use all resources to develop Google.
It turns out that Miss Quinn is really amazing. Google defeated many competitors and became the most influential search engine in the world.
It is much better than the previous hello which had neither loss nor profit, and was dead but not dead.”
Bruce waved his hands unconsciously, "I don't understand more and more why Harley can ask for the board of directors."
“Miss Quinn owns 5% of the original shares of Wayne Group and is the second largest shareholder after you,” Afu said.
“Shit, she is now the chairman of Wayne Group? Is my Wayne Manor still there?” Bruce’s eyes widened.
"Master, don't worry." Ah Fu held his shoulders and comforted him: "Miss Quinn has a 25-story luxury building next to Central Park.
Hmm, Quinn Building.
On Arkham Island, there is also the Quinn Manor covering an area of fifty acres.
In Jersey City, in the North City High-tech Development Zone, and in Long Island, there are private mansions in many prosperous or beautiful areas.
Last time for my birthday, she came to our manor as a guest, and she was dissatisfied with the old infrastructure and outdated architectural design of Wayne Manor."
Bruce said dully: "I have only heard of people who lost a lot of money when they were mayors, governors, or presidents. Isn't she afraid of being investigated when she made such a huge fortune?"
“What are you investigating? Miss Quinn’s current property is cleaner than the rest of us.
And she only served as mayor for four years.
Wayne Group also manufactures weapons, sells arms, conducts biochemical experiments, and produces various pharmaceuticals that are on the edge of the law.
In addition to her shares in Wayne, Amazon, Twitter and other companies, she now has two main industries: producing mobile phones and computers, developing Tianshan Mountain, a smart electronic ecological chain, and Puppy Video, which has not yet been launched.
Oh, by the way, there is also the ‘Gotham Fighting Championship’ that you are familiar with.
Boxing matches are also completely legal. Not only are they broadcast online, they are also drafted every year like the NBA.
Every penny she has now is clean and clearly traceable." Ah Fu said with a wry smile.
"Forget it, let's not talk about Harley." Bruce pressed his temple in distress, "The Anti-Wayne Act, please explain it to me carefully."
Afu said: “The main purpose is to break our monopoly in key industries such as biomedicine, information and communications, military production, and food processing.
For example, in information and communications, we cannot not only produce communication tools, but also set up communication networks, start telecommunications companies, and develop core communication technologies such as 3G and 4G.
We can keep a few of these companies, but we cannot control them all.
If we control the complete industrial chain of information and communication, even if we do illegal things such as eavesdropping and surveillance, we will not be discovered.
Even if it is discovered, it cannot change the status quo.”
“Well, in that case, Harley really did something righteous.” Bruce said with a confused expression, “The Court of Owls used Wayne Telecom to monitor the communications and locations of everyone in Gotham.”
"It's basically just, and the people of Gotham applaud it." Ah Fu said helplessly: "If it were us, even if you and the master wanted to change all this, I'm afraid they wouldn't cut themselves off, and at most they would strengthen the supervision within the company.
Strength.”
Bruce is silent.
Afu continued: "During the fragmentation of the information industry, the board of directors chose industries that are more traditional and have more stable income, and ignored the social and economic changes brought about by the development of information technology.
In this way, the patents for 3g and 4g were bought by Miss Quinn.
Of course, we have not completely lost the patent, but we have only given her the power to formulate industry rules.
Then, with the help of her epoch-making smartphone, she soared into the sky and became unstoppable.
Later, she believed that Wayne Group’s mature and efficient technology research and development and rich patent reserves could become the most powerful engine for her new technology company.
Become the major shareholder of Wayne Group through share exchange.”
Bruce thought thoughtfully and said: "If I understand correctly, Harley's Paradise Mountain Company is just a production workshop, and the core technology all comes from Wayne Group?"
“Well,” Afu said with a strange expression, “The core technology is provided by Wayne Group, and the production and assembly are handled by the company of Great China.”
“Technology research and development and product production have nothing to do with her, so what does she do?” Bruce asked doubtfully.
“She sells brands.”
“How many shares does a shell company that sells brands need to exchange for 5% of the original shares of Wayne Group?” Bruce asked.
“25%, Master, this is the price of friendship.” Ah Fu said.
"Well, considering our friendship, I can grit my teeth and accept it reluctantly." Bruce said very embarrassedly.
"No, Master, you misunderstood. It's not your friendship for her, it's the big advantage she gave you because of your friendship." Ah Fu said sternly.
“Afu, are you kidding me?” Bruce asked in surprise.
Afu said: “There was the Indian Mountain incident first, and then a large number of illegal projects were discovered in Wayne Group, so the company’s stock fell to the bottom.
At that time, she started buying the bottom.
Up to now, the total market value of Wayne Group has fluctuated around one trillion U.S. dollars, and the current market value of Paradise Mountain has been close to 400 billion U.S. dollars.
What is scary is the increase in the market value of Paradise Mountain.
Some economic experts predict that it will exceed one trillion yuan within five years.
For example, Lex Luthor, who is also engaged in high-tech in Washington, disparages Paradise Mountain in the media every day, but secretly secretly increases his holdings of Paradise Mountain shares.”
