Hogwarts: The Wizarding World's First Capitalist

"What!! This is absolutely not possible!!"

"Great, I can open my eyes today."

"The leader immediately sent a team to the Microsoft headquarters building. There is a high possibility that there will be big news to be filmed."

When Carl finished saying this, the scene instantly exploded. Needless to say, Mr. Rutherf looked panicked and absent-minded.

Other personal PC users and computer hacker representatives all looked excited.

You should know that among hackers and computer geeks, the most eye-catching way is to crack the system security firewalls of major companies.

Now that they can hold a press conference and broadcast it live around the world, how can they not be excited?

As for those reporters, they followed the Western tradition of running fast and frantically called their leaders.

I was afraid of missing this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

"You are committing a crime. This behavior may cause immeasurable losses to our company. Stop this behavior immediately."

"Otherwise we will sue you immediately!!"

Mr. Rusev had no other tricks at this time, so he could only shout and threaten loudly.

Carl, however, was dismissive of this and ignored the jumping monkey. He just leaned over and asked calmly in Cedric's ear.

“Is 5 minutes enough? Actually, 10 minutes or less is acceptable. Don’t feel any pressure.”

"Like I just said, these guys are just jealous of you using your strength to defeat them."

"I believe you can do it."

"But this is a crime!!" Cedric was a little nervous. As a good student who rarely violated the school rules at Hogwarts.

It is indeed a considerable psychological burden for him to suddenly start committing crimes.

Karl didn't blame him this time. He just smiled and said in a nonchalant tone.

"Don't be afraid. According to current U.S. law, as the head of the company, I am using my power to force you to commit a crime."

"Even if I really have to go to jail in the end, I will go. Go ahead and do it as long as I am by your side."

"As your leader, I will help you bear any danger."

Cedric was silent, his hands on the keyboard typing frantically, no words, only unusual calmness.

But Karl noticed that this guy’s ears were red.

Just when he was puzzled, a voice suddenly came.

“It has been cracked.”

"So fast?" Carl looked at Cedric in disbelief, but the guy didn't look up at him.

He kept his head down and turned to the side, and I didn't know why.

But none of this matters. Dealing with the squeaking rat in the audience is the top priority right now.

So Carl slowly walked to the center of the stage, opened his arms and spoke calmly.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Rusev, we have cracked your company's system. You don't have any secrets from us now."

"How can it be??"

"It's only been less than 30 seconds?"

"Either there is something wrong with our ears, or the Windows system has a very fatal vulnerability."

After Carl finished his announcement, all kinds of noisy sounds suddenly rang out, and the whispers from the audience made Mr. Rusev extremely embarrassed.

"How can you prove..." He wanted to make one last attempt.

However, he didn't expect that as soon as he opened his mouth, the young man on the stage also spoke at the same time.

"As expected of a world-renowned media outlet, I just received news that a reporter from the New York Times has arrived in Redmond, Washington."

"Let's take a look at the scene directly, Mr. Diggory, and vent the grievances you just felt in your heart."

"I remember there was a shiny screen at the entrance of the Microsoft building."

As soon as Carl finished speaking, the live broadcast signal of the New York Times was received through the Internet on the circular screen at the press conference.

And at the same time, it was broadcast live on television, witnessed by millions of households across the United States.

The giant screen used for display at the entrance of Microsoft's headquarters building began to change.

The advertisement signal that had been playing continuously was cut off and replaced by large fonts in various colors.

"Hate it, bastard, black salted eggs are stupid, stinky green eggplants are the most annoying!!"

"Is there something wrong with my eyes? Are you sure those are the fonts moving on the screen?"

"I think there's something wrong with my eyes. Shouldn't I be promoting the company's brand value at this moment? Why are these words scrolling?"

"And who on earth does he hate? What are black-marinated eggs and green eggplants?"

A computer geek player looked at the picture on the screen and asked his partner next to him uncertainly.

The friends were also confused by the question. They kept rubbing their eyes and watched carefully for a full minute.

Only then did they finally confirm that there was nothing wrong with the eyes of both of them. At such an important moment, the blackened screen only displayed these fonts.

"It seems that technical geniuses all have some strange habits."

"I had only heard about it before, but now I have truly seen it."

The constant exclamations made Carl, who was standing on the stage, extremely embarrassed. It seemed that he needed to teach this fool some swearing skills.

How can we survive in the future Internet world with such a level?

"The scene just now has fully demonstrated the cultural level and quality of our company. Please just laugh it off."

"We have fully demonstrated our technical strength, which is why we can assure you that our system is absolutely safe."

"We don't need to close our systems, and we don't need to use disgusting technical means."

"We have the most valuable asset, our extremely strong technical talent, and we will continue to fulfill the promise we just made."

"The X1000 system will always be open source to all users, and all users can develop their own programs based on the system."

"And the highest management rights of personal PCs will always be in the hands of the user. No one will be able to pass through the system without the user's permission."

"All rights including privacy are stolen. At the same time, some inconvenient software will be installed regardless of the risks. It will be entirely up to the user to decide whether to install it."

"Perfect!!"

“Great decision!!”

“No need to say more, please go public, I’m going to max out my credit card!!”

There was a thunderous applause, not just from the ordinary players or hackers watching the press conference.

Countless personal PC users, watching the live broadcast on TV, also burst into cheers that were louder than the last in their homes or company offices.

And just when almost everyone was cheering for this decision.

The discordant voice sounded again.

Mr. Rutherford said with a serious expression after hanging up the phone.

"I just received a message from the company's legal department. We will formally sue your company for losses caused by cyber attacks."

"You will pay the price for your actions."

"Really?" Carl looked at the other party with a smile and opened his hands. "It doesn't matter whether you sue or not."

"Our most important task today is to complete this press conference. Ladies and gentlemen, let us give you the warmest applause."

“Welcome the Democratic candidate, the next President of the United States, Mr. Bill Clinton!!”
