1991 Starting from the core

Seeing the host gradually getting started, Su Yuanshan started talking. Originally, the theme of this time was to look forward to the future - so Su Yuanshan always thought that the person he should talk to was Mr. Gates.

Of course, he didn't need to talk too much. Instead, he "carefully" quoted several points in Gates' book and extended them himself.

"Marshall McLuhan proposed the concepts of the global village and the information highway in "Understanding Media: The Extension of Man" thirty years ago - everyone knows this person, right?" Su Yuanshan once started chatting , it would be really difficult for others to interrupt. He now took the initiative and glanced at the host first, and then looked at the students in the audience.

Marshall McLuhan, a Canadian, was once hailed as the most important thinker after Newton, Darwin, Freud, Einstein and Pavlov. He is "the spokesperson of the electronic age and the prophet of revolutionary thought."

The December 28, 1964 issue of "The Nation" listed McLuhan as a man of the hour; the 1965 "Reader's Guide" listed four articles about him, which were published in "Review", "The New Yorker" and " Harper".

For a time, "McLuhan fever" swept the lighthouse country, and his books became bestsellers. From 1966 to 1967, this "craze" reached its peak, with dozens of the most famous newspapers and periodicals such as "Happiness", "Newsweek", "Life", "Sister", "National Review", "Partisan Review", " The New Yorker, New Mexico Quarterly, Weekend Review, Playboy, etc. have all published articles about Mai.

He was also invited to speak on television from time to time and stole the show. He is so famous that several words named after him have appeared in European languages: Mcluhanism, mcluhanist, and even "McLuhanology" has emerged.

But not everyone agrees with this boss.

Critics believe that he is a "charlatan of popular culture", a "teacher on television", a "tyrant who attacks reason", an "obsessive metaphysical wizard", and a "high priest of Popper thought", who has always played a role in historical determinism. The priest who performs a black mass for half-hearted artists in front of the altar."

They attacked him for "striving for the limelight, being narcissistic, following the fashion, following trends, and catering to new trends. But he is wrong." His writings were pronounced "deliberately illogical, itinerant, tautological, absolute, abusing maxims, and absurd." (The above is a copy)

Now, with the birth of the Internet, Marshall McLuhan has become "famous" again.

And Su Yuanshan knew that this big shot would become famous again - 20 years later, with the advent of the mobile Internet era, his "prophecy" would be verified again. As a result, he was hailed as the "great prophet" by believers.

…

Many people raised their hands.

"The lesson for mankind is to constantly learn lessons and then make the same mistakes again." Su Yuanshan smiled before throwing out a tangled conclusion and then said: "So, Professor McLuhan's experience lets us know - we think it is incredible In many cases, the future may not be because it is incredible, but because it has not yet arrived.”

"This is my attitude and view of the future."

"Okay, thank you Mr. Su for your wonderful views. By the way, I am also a supporter of Marshall McLuhan." The host looked at Su Yuanshan with a smile. He took a look at the time and started to control the process.

"The following is the question and answer session. Are there any students who have questions about these two outstanding technological leaders? This is a rare opportunity."

This link naturally exists, and it is also one of the most "uncontrollable" links.

But because it was the end of the shooting and not the main subject, neither Su Yuanshan nor Zhou Xiaohui cared much about it - especially Su Yuanshan, who was confident that no students could beat him in the IT and semiconductor industries.

Unless you let him do the questions on the spot.

Following the host's words, the students below who couldn't wait for a long time raised their hands.

The host also randomly selected a student.

This student seemed to be a fan of Jobs, and the question he asked was whether Jobs planned to continue in the animation industry - he felt that if Pixar was useless, Jobs would have no use for its soul.

Faced with this problem, several people on the stage became happy.

——Everyone knows that when Mr. Qiao started Pixar, it was purely a “toy” after he was “driven” out of Apple. He has always had a heart in the field of technology.

The next student question asked Su Yuanshan whether he had any plans to get involved in the Internet. Su Yuanshan's answer was quite satisfactory, saying it would depend on the situation.

"Okay, one last chance, I would like to invite the student who has been raising his hand." After the host scanned around, his eyes fell in the direction in front of Zhou Xiaohui and Wen Xiaoqian.

A boy with long hair stood up immediately and took the microphone from the staff.

Zhou Xiaohui had already crossed her arms and relaxed - although it was a bit unpleasant at first, the host chose to cooperate after receiving the signal, so it was considered a success.

After all, Yuanxin has come a long way, and peace is the most important thing.

Seeing the student in front of her being called this time, Zhou Xiaohui became a little curious, wondering what questions the student under her nose could ask.

"Hello Mr. Su, I am an electrical engineering student at Stanford University. I would like to ask first, is Xinghai Technology also founded by Mr. Su?"

Su Yuanshan picked up the phone and said humorously: "If you plan to continue asking, then these are two questions. But I will still answer you...forget it."

"OK, thanks."

——Quite polite, Zhou Xiaohui smiled and nodded gently.

"My question is, you have been in the mainland, leading the development of Yuanxin, and have cooperated with Xinghai in many fields... So, do you hope to transfer Silicon Valley technology and patents to the mainland in this way? ?”

As soon as these words came out, the smile on Zhou Xiaohui's lips froze instantly. She looked at the back of the white boy in front of her and frowned deeply.

She looked at Su Yuanshan subconsciously, and saw Su Yuanshan also frowned slightly. Then, she looked at the host and saw that although the host was a little surprised, he didn't seem to show any intention to interfere or smooth things over.

"Is there any more?" After a brief silence, Su Yuanshan looked at the boy with a smile.

"there is none left."

Su Yuanshan nodded and smiled softly: "First of all, I want to thank you for not using the word steal - otherwise I would worry about the CIA breaking in."

The students present laughed a little, breaking through the slight embarrassment.

"Then I'm going to point out what's wrong with your question."

"Please say."

"Your mistake is that you preconceivedly labeled Yuanxin as a company with low technological value."

"This is wrong."
