Chapter 372 Now is the time for the white-skinned moth to fly into the fire [Request full order]
Thompson didn't believe it at first: Without importing parts from Pangu Technology, couldn't Giant Eagle build its own high-performance computers?
This is unscientific!
Giant Eagle is known as the most technologically advanced country in the world!
The giant eagle, with such advanced technology, can't survive without the giant dragon?
This is just a huge black humor!
Thompson didn't believe the store owner.
He began to ask some professionals around him.
His teachers are all computer experts in Juying. One of them, who teaches software design, has a high-paying part-time job in a high-tech company.
Thompson asked the teacher: Now that Pangu Technology has been blacklisted, will Giant Eagle Technology Company be unable to handle the problem on its own and produce high-performance computers?
The teacher told Thompson that this was true.
In fact, all the core components of all the computer companies in China, such as CPU, memory sticks, sound card chips, graphics card chips, even power chips and even motherboards, may be imported from Julong.
The computer's operating system and application software are almost all from domestic giant companies.
There are indeed many companies in Giant Eagle that are still researching their own chip industry chains and want to achieve independence.
But the products they produced are really rubbish.
"Basically, no customer would want that kind of domestically produced computer."
"So, as long as we don't lift the sanctions on Pangu, our computer industry will most likely be completely destroyed in the future."
The teacher is very pessimistic.
Thompson was also very uneasy.
He went to the school's Internet cafe to search for relevant information.
He reads a lot of blog posts on Weibo.
Only then did he realize that dragons really were that advanced.
Take the computer he was using for example. After calling up the hardware and software information, he found that they all belonged to the Julong Company.
Thompson also learned that the salary for a mature software engineer at Julong is quite high, with the starting salary reaching 1.5 RMB! Nowadays, RMB is more expensive than US dollars!
Back then, at the highest point, 1 US dollar could be exchanged for more than 8 RMB, and on the black market, 1 US dollar could be exchanged for more than a dozen RMB at most.
But now, 1 dollar is only worth about 0.75 RMB.
The company at Giant Eagle only offers a starting salary of $9 for a novice software engineer.
Even so, it has already risen a lot.
A few years ago, a new Giant Eagle software engineer could earn $5 a month, which was considered a high income.
After reading the information, Thompson was full of yearning for the dragon.
He hopes he can go to Julong to work and live.
But that is not an easy thing to do.
It is quite difficult to work in Julong now.
Unless you are exceptionally outstanding, no one will accept you.
Thompson tried to write a cover letter to Pangu Technology. He attached his resume to the letter and listed all the projects he had participated in.
He has participated in quite a lot of projects.
He is also considered a rising star in software engineering.
He sent the letter.
After Thompson sent the letter, he waited anxiously for the other party's response.
However, what Thompson did not expect was that instead of receiving a reply from Pangu Technology, he received several men in black.
That night, when he was helping a teacher with research in the laboratory, several men in black broke into the room, twisted his arms roughly, and then stuffed him into a car and took him away.
Thompson fought back desperately, asking the other party why they wanted to arrest him and who the other party was.
A man in black took out the letter Thompson wrote to Pangu Technology.
"Did you write this letter?"
Thompson said, “I wrote it!”
"Don't I even have the freedom to write a cover letter?"
The man in black said: "You are suspected of selling out our technological secrets! You are betraying Giant Eagle!"
"So, you must pay the price for your actions!"
Thompson said angrily: "It's just a job application letter! Please, don't frame me!"
The man in black said, "Don't argue. If we tell you that you made a mistake, you'd better admit it! Otherwise, you'll probably suffer a lot!"
Thompson was treated brutally.
He was asked not to sleep by the other party.
A strong light shone on his face and he was asked to stand there and not move.
Poor Thompson, he had never been tortured like this before.
He only lasted for more than seven hours before he fainted.
Next, his mentor came to persuade him to write a letter of repentance and never think of working for Julong again.
Thompson didn't want to write.
He is a stubborn man.
He doesn't think he did anything wrong.
His mentor told him, "Thompson, if you don't obey, they will kill you!"
"They are directly subordinate to the Eagle King."
"They don't allow any more talent to go to Giant Eagle to help them develop!"
"Admit your mistake, then stay and work hard! You will be treated well."
Thompson shook his head and said, "Teacher, I respect you."
"But I don't think we should humor them!"
"They say they respect individual choices, and they keep saying they value individual freedom and fairness the most."
"But I can't understand why I can't work for the dragon?"
“This is just my personal choice!”
"Where on earth did I go wrong?"
His mentor said: "Poor child, the dragon has become our biggest competitor, you must know this."
“Although there is no war now, it is more dangerous than war.”
"We have to win!"
"If we lose, then we will be even more miserable!"
"At this time, we as individuals must obey the best interests of the Giant Eagle!"
Thompson sneered and said, "Teacher, if they win, they win! It's those masters and tycoons who win!"
"As an ordinary student, I have nothing!"
"My school expenses are over $100,000 every year! I can't even find a decent job!"
“It’s getting harder and harder for the vast majority of people around me.”
"Excuse me, how long will we be sacrificed?"
"I just hope to change my own destiny."
I want to have a stable life and a good job! I don't want to be burdened with terrible student loans and work like a slave for those fat guys forever!
His mentor shook his head and said, "You are too extreme."
“In fact, the life we lead now is pretty great!”
"Many elites from all over the world are scrambling to come to us."
"Mr. Thompson, there is no way you are going to the dragon."
"You won't stand a chance there!"
"Because they are suspicious of you. They have a famous saying: Those who are not of my race must have different hearts!"
"No matter what you do, you can't fit in with them."
"Just stay here peacefully."
Thompson firmly rejected his mentor's advice.
"You! You are really stupid!"
"I was doing this for your own good, but you wouldn't listen!"
"Then I'll just leave you to fend for yourself."
The instructor turned and left.
Thompson was detained for more than ten days.
In the end, he did not write a letter of repentance, nor did he agree to cooperate with some departments of Giant Eagle.
He is a born stubborn person.
Thompson was released anyway.
However, his passport was revoked.
Without a passport, there was no way he could leave.
After being released, Thompson was subjected to a series of persecutions.
His student loan was suspended.
He was kicked out of the project his teacher was participating in. He was ostracized.
Thompson had to drop out of school.
When Thompson returned home, he found that his parents had also been implicated.
His small shop encountered all kinds of difficulties.
In the end, his family went bankrupt.
This made Thompson extremely confused and puzzled.
He just wants to pursue his own happiness, that's all.
However, he was systematically persecuted.
His life was almost destroyed.
Then he was left to fend for himself.
Thompson and his family were bankrupt.
Because he was required to repay Giant Eagle's student loan immediately after he finished his studies.
Thompson had to find some odd jobs and work hard to make money just to avoid losing his credit and being penniless.
Because he knew that if he ended up living on the streets, his family might go bankrupt completely.
Thompson struggled.
The money I earn every day has to be used to pay various bills.
He struggled for his life like an ant.
Occasionally, he would go to the Internet cafe to surf the Internet.
At this time, he discovered that similar experiences to his seemed to be quite common among giant babies.
There are people complaining everywhere on the Internet. Like Thompson, they just want to seek new opportunities in the Dragons.
Then, they were persecuted in various ways.
Thompson also wrote about his experiences.
His writing is pretty good.
His stories are well written.
After his blog post was published on Weibo, it caused quite a stir.
This gave Thompson some comfort.
In particular, in his comment section, he saw too many stories that were worse than his.
Everyone is asking: What happened to the giant eagle?
Why did the giant eagle become less and less confident and more and more ferocious?
Thompson couldn't figure this out either.
Just a few years ago, they were a happy middle-class family.
But now, they have fallen into poverty.
The Giant Eagle's chances are dwindling.
However, the Giant Eagle's elites are becoming more and more radical and more troublesome.
What Thompson didn't expect was that his blog post would become a hit on Weibo.
One article earned him more than three thousand dollars.
This improved his situation greatly.
Thompson also learned some information through some groups: he could sneak across the border into Mexico.
Then, find a way to fly to Hong Kong Island, the home of the Dragon family.
Because Hong Kong Island treats white people very well nowadays.
Thompson decided to take action!
No matter what, he must try hard to find a way to change his destiny!
If he cannot change his fate, then his final destination here at the Giant Eagle may be a tragic death.
Thompson contacted a group of like-minded partners, and they quietly came to the border with Mexico.
Thompson saw an astonishing scene here: there were a large number of people, including many women and children, who were waiting for the opportunity to enter the Giant Eagle.
Yes, these people still think that the Giant Eagle is still heaven.
They believed that if they could only enter the Giant Eagle, they would be able to live a good life.
This is mainly because the Giant Eagles have always described themselves too well.
Thompson was shocked: he wanted to escape, but there were quite a lot of people trying to get in.
Thompson and his companions successfully crossed the border under the cover of night and entered Mexico.
These people no longer have passports.
But they still managed to get fake passports after some effort.
Then, they boarded a plane to Hong Kong Island with fake passports.
Thompson discovered that things were indeed very chaotic here in Mexico.
Gunfights often occur and bodies are found on the roadside from time to time.
This was somewhat shocking to Thompson.
too frightening.
The old Mexican seems to be even more chaotic than the giant eagle.
Thompson flew to Hong Kong Island.
The scene of a bustling metropolis is upon us.
The place is full of neon lights and crowded with people.
Everyone was dressed in gorgeous clothes and had a confident smile on their faces.
Thompson was shocked and excited.
He found that this place was much, much better than the Giant Eagle's place! It was hundreds of times better.
Thompson also found that the people here were very friendly to white people, and even showed some humility.
Sure enough, the white people in Hong Kong can enjoy superior treatment.
Thompson still hopes to get into the Dragons as soon as possible.
He had never come to the dragon.
He had only seen some photos of dragons on the Internet.
Thompson arrived at the checkpoint between Hong Kong Island and the Dragon.
He looked across.
He found that on the opposite side there were also high-rise buildings with shining neon lights, a prosperous scene.
He and a few of his friends wanted to go there with fake passports.
As a result, he found that he couldn't get through.
The other party recognized at a glance that the passports of Thompson and others were fake.
Even if you use a real passport to travel, there is a time limit.
This time is a maximum of 10 days.
Moreover, once a person who arrives in the country with a passport and a tourist visa is found to be working illegally, he or she will be deported immediately!
Thompson was surprised.
The dragon actually retaliated against the enemy in his own way!
Back then, developed countries such as the Giant Eagle actually used this trick to deal with the people of the Giant Dragon.
Thompson posted his experience again on Weibo.
At this time, his Weibo followers have exceeded 20.
His number of followers is still increasing very quickly.
The main content of Thompson's Weibo post in this series is: White people who want to work in the dragon need to overcome many difficulties and obstacles.
Thompson concluded from his own personal experience: Nowadays, not just any white person can enter the dragon and take advantage of it.
Only those who are truly talented can be recognized by the dragon and get the opportunity to work.
Thompson had to stay in Hong Kong Island.
Because he couldn't enter the dragon's territory.
The longer he stayed in Hong Kong Island, the more white friends he made.
There are many white people who come to Hong Kong Island in order to enter the territory of the dragon.
However, although they can enter the prosperous Hong Kong Island, they cannot freely enter and exit the nearby Shenzhen City.
They could only stand near the checkpoint, look at the prosperous dragon city and listen to others tell the legend of the dragon's development.
Thompson also discovered that the main reason why Hong Kong Island, an international metropolis, is so prosperous today is that it undertakes the task of the dragon's re-export trade.
Most of the imports and exports of the Dragons and Lizards pass through Hong Kong Island.
This is also the main reason why Hong Kong Island can rise rapidly.
Thompson also interviewed a number of Hong Kong businessmen.
From the mouths of these Hong Kong businessmen, Thompson learned one thing: Although the Giant Eagle led the entire Lizard Party to block the export of Pangu Technology.
However, they just blocked off the loneliness. (End of this chapter)
