Chapter 260 Auxiliary Root Server

Vinton Cerf and Robert Kahn have been working for the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (dARpA) of the United States for many years and have very close ties with the Lighthouse officials.

However, this time when Winton Cerf came to Hong Kong, his identity was the vice president of McI Company in the United States.

The purpose declared to the public was to seek technical cooperation with Orange Technology Company on behalf of mcI Company.

mcI is the abbreviation of America Corporation, a telecommunications company in Beacon that was not particularly well-known in the early 80s.

But due to heavy investment in the Internet, McI later grew into the second largest telecommunications company in the United States and owns the world's largest IP backbone network.

When Winton Cerf visited Hong Kong, he did not contact through Paul and Douglas, but directly contacted Huo Haiqing in the name of McI company.

mcI is now actively investing in the construction of lighthouse fiber optic communications, and is also developing mcI mail, the earliest commercial email system in history. It has many business overlaps with Orange Technology Company, so seeking technical cooperation is reasonable and legitimate.

At that time, the global Internet was still in its early stages and had not yet had a huge impact. Vinton Cerf's reputation was also far from its peak. In the words of later generations, his reputation had not yet spread beyond the circle.

However, Huo Haiqing was well aware of Winton Cerf's name, and knew his background very well. He knew that he was not just a scholar, so naturally he had to come out in person to accompany and receive him.

Before the formal negotiations, Vinton Cerf proposed to visit Hong Kong's Internet construction.

This is also reasonable, and naturally I met Paul and Douglas who were inspecting in Hong Kong, and even merged many of their inspection itineraries.

Huo Haiqing originally intended to showcase the advanced aspects of Hong Kong's Internet, and when he took Winton Cerf around on a tour, he gave a very detailed introduction.

They were even taken on a tour of the supercomputer of Orange Technology and the communications laboratory of Yinghao, with almost all the covers opened so that the lighthouse people could have a clear look.

A week later, after carefully examining the Internet in Hong Kong, Vinton Cerf also made a call back to the United States and was authorized to negotiate with Orange Technology.

The negotiations between Cerf and Orange Technology went very smoothly. Liu Zhicheng knew that it was impossible for Orange Technology's products to monopolize the network communications market. He would be satisfied as long as they could maintain a certain market share and technological leadership.

Orange Technology readily agreed. As long as companies in the United States are willing to pay reasonable patent fees, Orange Technology's technology will be available for licensing to any company in the United States.

mcI is not a particularly large company at present, and Liu Zhicheng is also very happy to cooperate with mcI.

The two sides finally agreed to achieve Internet connectivity with Hong Kong this year.

In the subsequent technical negotiations, the committee organized by the president of CUHK Malaysia negotiated with the United States regarding the method and authority of IP allocation.

Liu Zhicheng certainly knows that the importance of IP distribution rights will gradually become more prominent in the future.

But the situation is pressing. The TCP/IP protocol is the protocol that the United States is promoting, and it is difficult to snatch the highest authority of IP allocation from the United States.

All Liu Zhicheng could do was to encourage Principal Ma to try to gain as much autonomy as possible in the negotiations.

The final negotiation result was that Hong Kong obtained the authorization for several Class A IP address segments, which can be allocated to applicants by the Hong Kong Internet Committee.

At this time, the domain name server system of the United States had been invented and was ready to be used uniformly in the lighthouse.

According to this system, domain names and IP addresses correspond to each other and are mapped to each other. Since the United States wants to control Hong Kong's Internet, it naturally hopes that Hong Kong can also use this domain name system.

Hong Kong had no objection to this, but it proposed that Hong Kong's domain name server could be technically consistent with the Lighthouse, but this server must be located in Hong Kong.

At this time, the United States has not yet truly realized the importance of domain name servers in controlling the global Internet.

After several rounds of negotiations, the two sides finally agreed to build the domain name server within CUHK, on ​​the premise that Hong Kong agreed that the domain name server would be under the jurisdiction of Lighthouse Technology.

This is essentially a secondary root server. When this server was put into operation, Hong Kong also obtained the registration agency rights for top-level domain names in Hong Kong.

When Liu Zhicheng heard that the United States had agreed to Hong Kong's request, he knew that his real goal had been achieved.

Although this auxiliary root server currently only serves Hong Kong, there is a chance that it will be upgraded to manage Asia's auxiliary root server in the future.

Liu Zhicheng did not talk much about the value of the auxiliary root server to anyone in order to avoid unnecessary variables.

Once the global Internet truly begins to flourish, its importance will naturally become apparent.

…………

On Saturday afternoon, the two yachts were anchored on the sea, with the vast ocean on three sides and the south side of Hong Kong Island on one side.

Why do rich people like to party on yachts? Because it is more private.

Liu Zhicheng and Weng Hong sat side by side on the flying bridge of the yacht, and he looked at Weng Hong without any concealment.

Because this is a very direct communication that does not require too much emotion, both parties only have physiological needs.

He would not force Weng Hong. Even if she rejected him, he would not make things difficult for her and would still support her.

Just looking at Weng Hong's outline, you can tell that her forehead is short and square, but her chin is short and pointed. The overall shape is not smooth and is short.

So it's not that visually pleasing. In fact, she is just an ordinary beauty.

But she has a certain temperament, and her smile always gives people a sense of relaxation and transparency, with a hint of "nobleness". Moreover, with the bonus of being Asia's Miss, she can give men a sense of freshness.

Is Avatar ugly? Of course it is!
But if a beautiful woman dresses up as an Avatar, and you still think that the Avatar is ugly, I'm afraid even the cars will tremble!

Therefore, Liu Zhicheng met many beautiful women, but why his love history is so poor? To put it bluntly, what he needs is the mentality of "Afada".

"Boss, how can you look at someone like this when you first meet them?" Weng Hong said coquettishly.

She was not too shy, even though the man in front of her was a legendary figure in Hong Kong, but after spending two times with him, she felt that he was just a playboy.

She didn't hate Liu Zhicheng, so she took the initiative to mention the date last time. There were many reasons why she didn't hate him. Rumor has it that he is very good to women. Wealth is one thing, and he can also provide resources.

What’s more important is that she felt that Liu Zhicheng had a certain temperament - an imperial temperament.

Although this emperor seems to be very lustful, it seems that all emperors are lustful.

Liu Zhicheng smiled and said, "Looking at it this way, I can quickly understand you."

Weng Hong immediately asked, "Is that how you always look at beautiful women?"

Liu Zhicheng put his hands on Weng Hong's slender waist and clearly felt that the beautiful woman stiffened for a moment, but soon became natural.

"Then I am a sex maniac, right? I am like this because you came on my boat. Normally, I treat other beauties the same way as we did when we met before. Have I offended you?"

This is a naked hint.

Weng Hong turned around and looked at Liu Zhicheng directly, as if to say, I want it back.

Liu Zhicheng lowered his head and looked at the snow-white color. The woman was wearing a skirt today, and her upper body revealed her flawless white skin.

"What does it mean to get on your boat?" Weng Hong asked boldly.

Liu Zhicheng told her the truth, moved closer to Weng Hong, and then pressed on. It tasted good!

"Hate it! Are you rich people so direct?" Weng Hong said as she recalled the situation and tried to accept but refused.

"That's definitely not the case. Maybe I'm the only one who is so direct!"

"why?"

"Because I can read people's minds. I have feelings for you, so why should I waste my time?"

Weng Hong was speechless. This man usually behaved like a gentleman and had a very good reputation in the eyes of outsiders; unexpectedly, he looked like this in private, a bit like a gangster.

However, as a woman, or as a woman who has already boarded his boat, she doesn't seem to be angry at all, and her heart is full of expectations.

Next, Liu Zhicheng was no longer in a hurry and started chatting with Weng Hong.

The two had a serious conversation ranging from family background to career, but although the words were spoken, Liu Zhicheng's actions were not honest. After talking for a while, Weng Hong was already sitting in Lin Zuhui's arms.

Weng Hong was not nervous at all. Instead, she naturally put her arms around Liu Zhicheng's neck.

Liu Zhicheng sniffed the fragrance that was so close and said, "My uncle and aunt are both high-level intellectuals. You can't do anything that would embarrass them!"

His original intention was to persuade Weng Hong not to make a pornographic film, but he didn't expect Weng Hong to misunderstand him.

"How can we chat like this? Since the boss said so, just let me off the boat!" Weng Hong said in a tender voice.

Liu Zhicheng was stunned and immediately realized that he had been misunderstood.

"That's not what I meant. You and I should keep our relationship secret so that no one else will know anything. Even if there's a little gossip, it won't have any impact."

As long as there is no evidence, the public will just see it as a novelty and forget about it soon. However, if the real evidence is filmed, it will have a big impact.

As of now, the only times Liu Zhicheng was photographed were with Guan Jiahui and Wang Zuxian, and he did so on his own initiative back then.

Even if it was Lin Qingxia, it was just a rumor, and in fact many people would not believe it!
Weng Hong continued to find fault: "You are so romantic anyway, why are you afraid of exposing that I am dating you? I don't mind!"

Liu Zhicheng advised: "It's not that I'm afraid, but you may not be able to bear the pressure at that time. Besides, if you still want to stay in the entertainment industry,
You absolutely cannot expose our relationship. It will have a bad impact. If you don't want to be in the entertainment industry, you can be my lover, live in a mansion, and be a canary."

After saying that, Liu Zhicheng took another step forward!
So cute!
"Is that so? It seems the rumors are true. You are really good to women!"

"What's the big deal? It's just a piece of cake!"

The two of them got together again and did not separate for a long time.

"I want to work in the entertainment industry, not be your canary! Don't worry, I won't publicize our relationship, nor will I keep asking you for resources!"

Liu Zhicheng nodded in satisfaction and said seriously: "This is the best. I can give you money, but you can't let anyone cause damage in the company!"

Weng Hong nodded. She didn't dare to challenge Liu Zhicheng. What if this guy hired someone to deal with her?

After a while, Liu Zhicheng said, "I heard that you learned dancing before. Let me see you!"

As soon as Liu Zhicheng finished speaking, it seemed as if he was saying, what are you hesitating about!

Weng Hong immediately stood up, adjusted her clothes a little, and revealed her charming side.

After a while, the dance was over and Liu Zhicheng felt the atmosphere again.

"Go change into a bikini. I still want to admire Miss Asia's beauty!"

Weng Hong glanced at Liu Zhicheng charmingly, and then said, "I want you to change it for me!"

Without further ado, Liu Zhicheng stood up and said, "Glad to help!"

In the bedroom of the yacht.

Liu Zhicheng felt that the Miss Asia pageant from two years ago really had some amazing legs, and Weng Hong's legs were also great.

After changing into bikinis, the two did not leave the bedroom;
Unfortunately, I didn’t get to eat the first meal.

But it doesn't matter. Liu Zhiben was just taking advantage of the situation and trying to take advantage of the passing goose!
When doing things with Weng Hong, you must let her be beaten with a stick, so that the mood can be created.

I won’t list the top ten tortures, Liu Zhicheng is not that crazy after all!

……

In early June, Liu Zhicheng's Hongli Investment Company officially signed an agreement with the Hong Kong government on the acquisition of "Guoshang Bank", involving a capital of HK$1.

1 Hong Kong dollar is of course a symbolic acquisition fee. Hengjin Investment also needs to assume all debts and assets of "Guoshang Bank".

At the same time, Hengjin Investment announced that it would inject HK$50 billion in cash into the China Merchants Bank (Hong Kong), and 32 bank branches began operations at the same time.

For a time, Hong Kong public opinion praised Liu Zhicheng!

Thursday, March 6th.

The China Merchants Bank Building in Kowloon is a 16-storey building built in the 6s, with an estimated value of around HK$8 million to HK$ million.

This is the headquarters building of China Merchants Bank and also its most valuable asset.

In the morning, the entrance of the head office of China Commercial Bank was decorated with lights and colorful decorations, a red carpet was laid on the ground, flower baskets were placed on both sides, and an arch was built on the sidewalk at the entrance.

Inside the bank, all the former employees of the China Merchants Bank returned to their posts and were greeting the distinguished guests with smiles.

Suddenly, a number of money escort vehicles stopped at the road outside the door, and then the escort personnel took out suitcases from the vehicles one by one.

They did not take the suitcases directly into the bank. Instead, under the direction of the bank management, they placed all the 100-Hong Kong-dollar bills in the suitcases at the door of the bank.

Soon, the cash piled up like a mountain, taller than a person. The onlookers were dazzled and their hearts were pounding.

The people at the gate of Guoshang Bank were mainly large depositors of Guoshang Bank. They were worried whether Guoshang Bank was really open for business, so they deliberately waited at the gate of the bank.

I just didn't expect that they would see such an exciting scene.

Soon, a billboard with "20 billion Hong Kong dollars" written on it was placed on top of the mountain of cash.

Everyone gasped, this is so damn exciting!

"Why is it only 20 billion Hong Kong dollars? Didn't we agree to inject 50 billion Hong Kong dollars?" A large depositor of China Merchants Bank whispered in the crowd.
