    The photonputer could be considered the next generationputer.


    ording to the division of zero, this is the personalputer of the future. But now, using it as a game server is more than enough. Don’t find it unbelievable, in the electronic information field, the performance change of hardware is drastically different.


    Any ordinary householdputer today, if you were to take it back to the year 2000, it would beparable to a supeputer! How big is the gap in between? The cpu on any mobile phone today totally surpasses the cpu of somerge servers around the year 2000. This is the advancement gap in hardware.


    As for this photonputer, Finn Lewis couldn’t predict how many years it is ahead of the currentputers on Earth, but he guessed it wouldn’t be reached in the next 20 years, because even quantumputers haven’t reached this level, and the photonputer is even further away. So, using this photonputer as a game server, it is more than enough.


    “Well, for such a game engine, even if we calcte it as a technical equity share, I’m afraid we can only get about 5% of the shares.” Yuri Johnson thought for a while, gave a straightforward price to Finn Lewis.<div>


    Finn Lewis nodded. The reason he brought this up was because he would theoretically hold fifty-two percent of thepany’s shares, but wouldn’t other shareholders still hold forty-eight percent? He couldn’t just do nothing, throw this game engine in, so 5% of the shares, equating to nearly 7 billion Federal coins. If other shareholders didn’t want to reduce their stake, they would have to invest money into thepany.


    This included Yuri Johnson, which was why he seemed a bit helpless just now. “So, let’s toast to our sessful future partnership?” Finn Lewis offered with a smile and a handshake.


    “To our partnership,” Yuri Johnson replied with a bitter smile, shaking hands with Finn Lewis. He felt helpless being forced into the situation,pelled to sell thepany, and thenpelled to sell it to Finn Lewis. It wasn’t a pleasant feeling! But Yuri Johnson knew that this was the best choice. In the inte enterprise, as soon as yourpetitors get their hands on somethingpetitive, the copse of yourpany could be swift.


    Yahoo’s market value was once an astonishing 160 billion Federal coins, but now? Only less than 14 billion, and that’s because it held 16% of Alibaba’s shares. If it did not, the stock value would be even lower! What about G Company, which couldn’t even be considered apetitor to Yahoo back in the day?


    This is a typical example of inte enterprises, and gamingpanies will be even more direct. If Finn Lewis either buys apany or builds his own, as long as he produces a new game, unless cane up with something of a simr level, WY’s stock price will plummet. By then, its market cap of over 10 billion Federal coins would be meaningless.


    So, Yuri Johnson had no choice. Of course, it’s too early to say these things, because Finn Lewis has yet to prove that what he has really worked. Yuri Johnson felt, however, that these easily provable things would be unlikely to be faked by Finn Lewis.


    Julia Parker was always by Finn Lewis’ side with a smile on her face, but she was utterly shocked inside. What she once deemed almost impossible, Finn Lewis made happen, and the man who held absolute controlling power just gave up.


    You have to admit, Finn Lewis’ confidence from start to finish left Julia Parker star-struck. She didn’t know where Finn Lewis got his confidence from, saying he wanted to acquire without considering other people’s opinions. But now Julia Parker realized, if nothing else, he could throw money at the problem.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om


    It was all about throwing money to kill; first showing Yuri Johnson his massive capital, hisck of financial restraint. Spending 20 billion Federal coins to acquire shares worth only about 7 billion Federal coins. Who could resist such a premium? And Finn Lewis also had a tendency to increase prices. Refusing to sell seemed an unlikely choice!


    After showing the money, Finn Lewis said, I not only have money, I also have technology, and it’s technology far ahead of yours. Will you sell or not? In this situation, if you don’t sell, will Finn Lewis spend 20 billion Federal coins on your shares, or worry he can’t smash out a gamingpany? If he manages to get a gamingpany running and starts producing products topete with you, how muchpetitive edge could you retain by then?


    They came in the morning, talked so long in the meeting room that it was almost lunchtime. Naturally, Yuri Johnson hosted lunch, but they didn’t go anywhere else, just had a meal in IVY’s own employee cafeteria. Then in the afternoon, the verification began. WY is technically Yuri Johnson’s privatepany, so he can sell his shares without reporting to anyone.


    After bringing in the technical personnel of the Top Three development team, the test of the CAD i game engine in Lewis’ hand was directly started. This teststed an entire afternoon. When it was dinnertime, the tech nerds were all red-eyed and testing the game engine with excitement.


    Afterpleting the final step of testing, the lead technician, with sses and a bald head, rushed over and excitedly told Yuri Johnson, “Mr. Johnson, is this engine something we bought? It’s amazing! I… I… I don’t even know what to say, it’s just too incredible!” His words were incoherent due to his excitement, but the meaning was clear.


    “Uh, let me introduce you, this is Leo Harrison, the leader of the Top Three technical development team, one of ourpany elite talents.” Yuri Johnson introduced him to Finn Lewis, then said to Leo Harrison, “This is Finn Lewis, a loyal yer of Top Three, who might be your future boss.”


    Leo Harrison was stunned at first, looked at Yuri Johnson, and then looked at Finn Lewis, “My boss? Mr. Johnson, you’re not going to sell thepany, are you?”


    “I’m not selling, but if the game engine you’re test driving is as incredible as you’re saying, then I might just keep twenty percent of the shares.” Yuri Johnson shrugged and said. At this point, Yuri Johnson hade to terms with it. Although he would sell thirty-two percent of his shares, the remaining twenty percent in his hand could be worth more than his previous fifty percent.


    This choice was not a loss.


    “You said he is a yer of Top Three?” Leo Harrison suddenly remembered something and looked at Finn Lewis.


    “Yes, I think you all know, his ID is Literati Saucy Poet.” Yuri Johnson shrugged.


    ‘Pfft’ ‘Pfft’. Now they were in the tech group, a ce where these technicians worked. The scene, let me say, don’t be too beautiful, at this moment after the game engine had been tested and thepany’s boss was right there, so they were all excitedly watching, wanting to hear how the game engine hade about..
