Chapter 249 Cousin
Chapter 249 Cousin
The DC system had dominated the mobile industry for ten years.
There was a common saying which said that if your technology was better than all of your other competitors, then you would have a better say in the market. Over the past decade, countless companies tried to challenge CK Corporation’s dominance, generation after generation of genius programmers had attempted to come up with an operating system hoping to replace the DC system, but unfortunately, the superior capability offered by the DC system was like an impassable gulf and none of them ever succeeded in their endeavors.
In the end, everyone who worked on the operating system felt so defeated that they did not have the audacity to make a statement like, "My system is comparable to the DC system," for nearly a decade. NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
Therefore, when Seth announced that his system had overpassed the DC system in every aspect, they all just felt that either he had gone mad or the world had gone mad.
They all glanced at each other in shock, trying to look for confirmation from each other's faces.
"Yeap, you didn't hear it wrong." Seth continued, "I'm not exaggerating anything, but our system has already surpassed the DC system."
Initially, Seth did not plan to give such a brazen statement as the prelude to the conference. However, there was an inner voice shouting at him the moment he set his foot on the stage.
The voice was telling him not to forget about those sleepless nights that had been haunting him for the past few months: Jacob’s endless brilliant ideas, and how much he struggled to find investment in the daytime and tried to catch up with Jacob to help him shoulder some of the work at night. Most importantly, i t told him to hold his head up high and be confident with his work.
Swayed by the voice, he just blurted the words out of his mouth.
They had run the simulation of their system on the phone many times, and they were very certain that the SL system outstripped the DC system in every possible aspect. As such, why could he not be more confident in himself, be a little bit more aggressive, and just state the truth?
Besides, this was also the best way to commend his and Jacob's efforts during this period of time.
The whole crowd heard it clearly this time after Seth repeated it again. Silence swept across the hall as the implication of his words gradually sank in.
Surpassed the DC system... All of them wondered where he got the confidence from.
The crowd exchanged glances, and their first reaction after they came around was panic. They were panicked because they began to worry about how the Americans would look at them when Seth’s statement spread out.
Not only them, but Susan was also thrown into panic a s well.
'Is their system superior to the DC system?' she thought inwardly.
Even though she was not tech-savvy, she knew about the DC system as well. Her phone was running on the DC operating system.
"Brilliant."
Suddenly, somebody clapped his hands and the long silence was shattered, pulling everyone in the hall back to reality.
They all turned their heads towards the source of the voice and realized that several people were stopping a group of men from entering the conference hall to no avail.
"Mr. Leeds, they insist on coming through. I..." One of the girls was on the verge of breaking into tears.
"It’s alright," Seth assured. Then, he narrowed his eyes as a strange light flitted across his eyes. "Mr. Shaw? I guess you're not on the invited guest list, are you?"
Looking at Joseph who stood in front of a group of people, Julian squinted his eyes.
He knew Joseph was here at Ningcheng City a long time ago, and they even had crossed swords through the air.
However, this was the first time they met with each other face to face.
It took no more than a second for Joseph to pinpoint Julian from the crowd. He offered him a Chesire grin and then said politely, "Yeah, you didn't invite me. But my friend over here is very into the mobile operating system, so I think he can give you his two cents regarding your system.”
Then, he turned to the man standing next to him and introduced, "Okay, let me introduce to you, Mr. Wilson. Maybe you are unfamiliar with the name, but I think all of you will know about him after I mention who he i s. He is the core programmer of CK Corporation, and also one of the developers of the DC system."
CK Corporation's core programmer! One of the developers of the DC system!
The revelation caused a huge uproar in the crowd. Everyone turned around and zeroed in on Seth.
Seth said that the system that he had just developed was better than the DC system in many ways. Right now, the developer of the DC system was standing at the entrance. They all assumed that he must feel ridiculous if he heard what Seth had said.
So they had embarrassed themselves in front of an outsider in their own country? All of the media people at the scene wanted to find a spot and bury
themselves.
Be that as it may, the appearance of Mr. Wilson at the launch of a new mobile operating system was considered big news as well.
As such, all of the reporters began taking photos of him.
Joseph noticed the changes in the crowd's expression. Concocting a smile on his face, he asked," Mr. Leeds, I heard you said your SL system has overpassed the DC system in every aspect? Is that true?"
It was very apparent to Seth that Joseph was up to no good for bringing Wilson here. He forced a business smile on his face and replied, "Of course, I’m responsible for everything I said.”
"Hah!" Wilson sneered before Joseph could say anything. Then, he hissed through his lips, "You're just blowing your own trumpet."
Joseph grinned, "Mr. Leeds, is Mr. Wilson qualified enough to attend the conference? Or, perhaps the reason you don't want to let us in is that you're too afraid that we'll debunk all your lies?"
"Our system can stand up to all tests." Seth smiled," Although I didn't invite you, since you've come, I have t o show you my courtesy. Please come forward and have a seat in the front row. But only you two can come in. Please tell your gang to wait outside the door."
Seth was being satirical, but Joseph ignored it. He asked his men to wait for him outside and then continued, "Very well then. After you, Mr. Wilson.”
Joseph led Wilson all the way up and stopped beside Julian. He turned towards the two people beside him and said, "Hi, can you give me your seat?"
"Sure, sure, sure." The two people nodded instinctively.
With that, Joseph sat beside Julian. After he had taken his seat, he turned to Julian and shot him a genial smile. "Long time no see, cousin."
All the people were shocked when he called Julian as his cousin.
Joseph had been causing a lot of news recently. Even though he also went by the surname Shaw, nobody ever related him to Julian before since there were so many Shaws out there.
So he was Julian's cousin?
"I prefer not to see you," Julian replied, offering Joseph a cold smile.
"That's hurtful, cousin. Do you know how much I've missed you?" Joseph said.
"Miss me? Thinking about how to kill me?" Julian snickered.
"That's really funny, cousin," Joseph replied, and his smile broadened.
Judging by the way they talked to each other, the crowd assumed that they were not on good terms even though they were relatives.
"Cousin, since the highlight of the night is the SL system, let’s not steal their thunder," Joseph said as h e looked towards the stage. Then, he asked, "May I know who is the main developer?"
"I am," Jacob said calmly.
