Reborn in America, I'm serious about making money.

"Ah~"

"Ah~" x2

Zhang San ran out of Guan Meiren's room, holy crap, that was so exciting! He stood in the hallway with his clothes in his arms.

When Guan Meiren came out of the room, she saw Zhang San looking at her with some anger. Seeing this, Guan Meiren knew that she was doomed. She didn't know if it was too late to fix this.

Chai Xiaofen had just put on a coat and came out of the room when she saw Zhang San, who was disheveled; hearing the sobbing coming from Guan Meiren's room, she immediately ran in to check on the situation.

That evening, Zhang San went to the study to take care of some things; around nine o'clock, he originally intended to go to his own room, but remembering Guan Meiren's appearance during the day, he went to her room instead.

Seeing that the room wasn't lit as usual, he used the light from the open door to see a figure lying there; he had a feeling, closed the door, and crept over.

"Huh!? Something's not right about my figure today." He muttered to himself, not caring about anything else, since he was right anyway.

Just as things were about to reach the final moment, He Meitian, who thought she was dreaming and still had a smile on her lips, suddenly opened her eyes and let out a scream.

Instead of entering, Zhang San was scared away and felt like he was going to collapse. What made it even more embarrassing for him was that he was scared out of his wits.

The next morning, a dejected Zhang San glared fiercely at the culprit, then saw Chai Xiaofen coming down from behind and asked, "How's Xiaotian?"

"Hmph~"

Looking at someone with such scum-like eyes would make Zhang San feel ashamed... but that's impossible.

"Go and explain yourself. If you can't explain it clearly, then leave." Zhang San waved his hand, issuing a warning to Guan Zhilin.

He happily went to eat breakfast; he had things to do and couldn't get entangled with these women.

In North America, a press conference will be held on the first day after New Year's Day to announce the first major update since the NT-MS overhaul.

John is the CEO of NT-MS, seconded by New Era Corporation, and also a member of Cisco's board of directors.

He called Zhang San at 8 a.m. in Hong Kong, which was midnight there.

"Boss, it's been a long time. I have something to report to you."

Zhang San was a little puzzled. Had there been a major breakthrough in the system's development? Suppressing his curiosity, he asked, "John, is there something important?"

John reviewed the information in his mind and reorganized his thoughts before saying, "Before you left, you mentioned combining the former MS company's D-OS with NTOS, and that's now complete. As you wished, we've named the new version WINOS92, and we'll hold a product launch event after New Year's Day."

"Wow, that's great news! Does that mean our stock is going to go up again?"

John will be part of an incentive plan when he joins NT-MS. One of the incentives is management stock options. This is because, given NT-MS's market capitalization, other companies will repurchase shares by the amount, rather than as a percentage, and then reward the employees accordingly.

"Yes, boss, will you be back then?"

Zhang San thought for a moment and said, "I'm not going back. You take charge. John, you help me run the company well. I'll keep your share and keep my promise in the future."

Zhang San hung up the phone. There were some things he shouldn't have done. For example, when NT-MS went public, it issued 20% of its shares, reducing New Era Company's shareholding to 56%.

After its launch, NT-MS was far superior to the original MS, and its monopoly position was already confirmed. However, compared to the original MS company, it was too low-key and did nothing except develop the system and Office.

If there is a Chinese boss, then he will inevitably have the introverted, low-key, and humble characteristics of Chinese people... There is a limit to how much he can praise himself, and Zhang San can't keep up the charade.

Next year, MS will be the subject of a complaint to the Ministry of Commerce, which will then lead to the courts and trigger a multi-year antitrust investigation.

However, the current NT-MS is backed by many large companies. If such a thing happens again, he will create a new system based on the Reduced Instruction Set Computing (RISC) operating system.

It's not that he doesn't want to launch such a system, it's just that the current hardware isn't ready yet. When it is launched, it will be a system based on communication services.

On the other side of the ocean, John put down the phone and breathed a sigh of relief. As expected, the boss didn't want to appear at the front desk, which put him at ease. After all, he was the big boss of NT-MS, second only to one person and above countless others.

He will attend the press conference and become the focus of countless people; as long as he pleases the boss, anything is possible.

The other shareholders were also very satisfied with him. Under his leadership, NT-MS acquired related companies and patents everywhere, forming a barrier to entry for desktop operating systems that prevented others from entering the field.

Ultimately, it's all about burning through too much money. Too much money came too easily. An investment bank analyst analyzed it this way: In the next five years, the growth rate of computer users will accelerate, and NT-MS's advantage in the operating system field will become more and more prominent; moreover, its market value will break through 100 billion US dollars, making it the next company with a market value of 100 billion US dollars, just like the Blue Giant.

It wasn't that he was making baseless accusations; there was a real possibility, and a very high probability at that.

If Zhang San saw this investment bank's internal analysis report, he would be amazed. It shouldn't take five years, at most two years, to become a company with a market value of hundreds of billions.

Even if he reduces his stake to 35% and is ousted from the board in the future (he's not on the board now), he won't sell any more shares unless the overall market value rises to over two trillion dollars.

NT-MS, a company with huge cash flow, is quietly buying up shares in many companies, not for any other reason than to have too much money to burn.

John's acquisition was not approved by Zhang San, but it was approved by the board of directors; if Zhang San knew this, he would be shocked.

Many companies are already very uncomfortable with NT-MS's behavior, which is seen as using money to create a monopoly.

This behavior would attract the attention of the Department of Commerce. Moreover, NT-MS has investments in both the Democratic and Republican parties, with those members of Congress protecting him.

"It's called WINOS92, why not 93 or 95?" Zhang San thought to himself with a touch of wicked humor.

In fact, now that NT-MS has acquired MS Corporation, it will follow the same old path as the original MS Corporation and will soon face an investigation by the Federal Trade Commission.
