In terms of cheating on competitors, Xia Tian is also full of records.

For example, in the late 1980s, the summer purchased oil wells, which attracted them to buy them one after another. As a result, their oil wells were blown up and confiscated, which eventually caused them heavy losses.

In the summer, I bid for Midea Games with Microsoft. Among them was a game producer named John Romero. He was once the co-founder of the well-known game studio idsoftware. He worked with John Carmack to produce many well-known games such as "Return to the German Headquarters", "Duke of Doom", and "Hammer of Thor".

He was first discovered by Xia Tian and then snatched away by Microsoft. As a result, after he joined Microsoft's game department, he spent four years to release his new masterpiece "Big Sword".

As a result, this so-called game masterpiece that cost 30 million US dollars and was highly anticipated was sold in the end. In comparison, the "Half-Life" launched by Valve Software, which was acquired in the summer, sold nine million copies, making a big profit.

"Big Sword" is the most painful failure in American gaming history, and it also caused the Microsoft Games Department to suffer a heavy blow.

Its loss is not only about money, but more troublesome is that after the failure of "Big Sword", Microsoft tightened the privileges of game producers, which made many game producers dissatisfied and became disinterested with Microsoft. The seeds of division have been planted, and they will take root and sprout after just the catalysis of time!

Because Xia Tian had such a record of cheating his opponents, Li Jiacheng was worried that Anran Company and Hong Kong Telecom were all traps set by Xia Tian. If they were careless and fell into the trap, the losses would be huge.

Once a loss of 400 billion Hong Kong dollars is enough to make their company bankrupt. Therefore, it is necessary to observe.

...

"There shouldn't be a problem. The trick we had before was because we were not familiar with China, so blindly followed up led to failure. But we are not unfamiliar with Hong Kong Telecom and have a certain understanding of Enron. I think it would be difficult for Xia Tian to deceive us." Jia Daoli explained.

In the 1980s, they went to Zhong to buy oil wells, which was indeed a summer trick. Therefore, there is a saying in the mall, "Don't do it if you are not familiar with it", which means that you should not be involved in unfamiliar areas and unfamiliar businesses, so as not to be deceived.

At that time, they didn't know much about the situation in China and blindly followed up, but they happened to run into the Kosovo War. Their oil wells were destroyed and confiscated during the war, and the confiscated ones suffered extremely heavy losses.

But Hong Kong Telecom is right in front of them, and they have seen the development of others over the years. It is not an exaggeration to know that Hong Kong Telecom is indeed very valuable, with a market value of 380 billion Hong Kong dollars. In addition, the Internet is so hot now, Hong Kong Telecom's prospects are naturally even more impressive.

Enron's achievements over the years are obvious to all. The annual transaction volume is more than 100 billion US dollars. It has been rated as the most technologically innovative company in the United States for seven consecutive years, and controls 20% of the natural gas and electricity transactions in the United States.

No matter how you look at this company, it is a company with great investment potential. If you say that you use these two companies to set up a trap for them in the summer, you would be a bit too much.

"Yes, both companies are very good. I think you are thinking too much." Guo Bingxiang also nodded and agreed, "I don't think we should be suspicious, we should be decisive. Otherwise, after summer acquires these two companies, it will be more difficult for us to fight against him."

"I still think I should investigate carefully. After all, 400 billion Hong Kong dollars is not a small amount." Li Jiacheng hesitated.

To be honest, he suspected that Xia Tian did not have any real evidence, but was just worried. He was used to thinking about defeat before he was concerned about victory. If the risk was too great, even if the return was very high, he would not be willing to get involved. This is also the reason why his business has become bigger and bigger over the years.

"It's right. We can't take too much risk. We should investigate it carefully." Kessek echoed.

Everyone nodded.

"Since that's the case, it's time to investigate these two companies as soon as possible." Jia Daoli said immediately.

...

In the afternoon, Xiatian received a tour guide on Tianxia Telecom.

Tianxia Telecom now provides network and mobile communication services to hundreds of thousands of people in Hong Kong. Although the number of users is not too large, it has already achieved profitability and the current development is still very good.

"Guide, this is the digital switch we have developed and produced in cooperation with China, which can respond to 100,000 incoming and outgoing requests at the same time." Xia Tian guide explained, "This processing capability is the leading globally."

"Okay, okay." Hearing him say so, he happily.

"Our broadband is now commercially available at a maximum speed of 100 g, while the average user's network speed can reach one gigabyte, which is already comparable to Midea Information Expressway." Xia Tian introduced.

"Very good. I heard from experts that this information highway is amazing and has commercial value." The director sighed, "Xiaoxia, the United States has been promoting information highways for several years. The Internet fever in Silicon Valley in the United States is also driven by it. The construction of information highways in our mainland has just started. I don't know when we can catch up with them."

Bill Clinton was running for the election. After taking office, he proposed the construction of the "Information Expressway" and vigorously promoted the popularization of broadband. This move also led to the Internet craze of Midea, and thus gave birth to well-known Internet websites such as Yahoo, Google, Amazon, and ebay, which made countless people get rich overnight.

The Internet boom has also greatly driven the development of the US economy. Before Bill Clinton came to power, the US unemployment rate remained high, the economy was sluggish, and the deficit of the State House increased year by year.

However, after Bill Clinton came to power, the US economy improved greatly, with the annual GDP growth rate reaching 4.5%. Not only did the unemployment rate fall, but the national treasury was also full, not only did not increase debt, but the annual surplus exceeded 100 billion US dollars.

This was absolutely impossible before. In fact, since the United States began to have surplus in 1957, the treasury has never been surplus. Bill Clinton can proudly claim that he created miracles.

And because the American economy is so good, countries around the world have followed suit and proposed information highway plans to develop their own Internet industries.

The mainland is also jealous of this, but the mainland has a vast territory and investment is a huge problem to build an information expressway. The mainland is now short of money, so the leaders are anxious and afraid that they will be lagging too far behind by the United States.
