Cyber Heroes

On the evening of January 22, 2044, an aircraft stopped and landed on the runway of Peking Daxing International Airport. After a while, Xiang Shan and another old man left the exit.

Xiang Shan restarted the AR smart glasses hanging in his chest pocket. Soon, the glasses searched for the target position among the crowd and displayed a reminder icon.

This locking system is said to be created by the Peak game designer outside the R&D team of this generation, which fits human instincts to a considerable extent. With the help of glasses, Xiang Shan locked the assistant who came to pick up the plane in the crowd-this logistics staff should be the first time he saw him. But he does not need to be acquainted with this subordinate. The APP in the assistant's phone is linked with Xiang Shan's AR smart glasses.

The company sends the task to the assistant's phone. As long as he stands at this airport port, Xiang Shan's glasses will show his presence.

It can be said that to some extent, this system has replaced the facial recognition mechanism of Xiang Shan's brain to build another kind of interpersonal relationship.

"Boss, you are really impersonal." The old man said: "Somehow it is also a staff member who is often contacted. It is not difficult to remember their personal status a little."

"It is very evil to win over employees with feelings beyond the labor contract." Xiang Shan said as he waved to the employee. The employee also saw the two men and waved his hands up.

The salutes of the two have other assistants who are responsible for fetching them. Under the leadership of the assistant employee, Xiang Shan and the old man got in an extended commercial vehicle. This car has undergone special treatment. When necessary, the transmission of electromagnetic waves inside and outside can be shielded to form a relatively private space to prevent eavesdropping. His driver's seat is also separated from the back row, and the middle has been soundproofed. The back seats of this car are four seats facing each other, with a small coffee table in between.

It's just that Xiang Shan and the old man didn't intend to discuss any trade secrets, so they didn't activate those high level functions.

The assistant employee asked through the intercom in the car: "Mr. Xiang, should I go back to the company or go directly to your home?"

"The company." Xiang Shan's tone was clear. With a trace of exhaustion.

"Aren't you going home? Boss." The old man was a little surprised: "Today is the Lunar New Year's Eve of the Republic. I thought you were eager to return to China just to reunite with your family."

"My home is in Peiping, and there is no shortage of time to get together." Xiang Shan said: "And now I go home, I have not prepared my dinner at home."

Leaving the airport slowly. The old man skillfully took out a bottle of sweet sherry from the small freezer below and poured himself a small glass. He raised another empty cup to signal Xiang Shan. Xiang Shan shook the head.

"It's a waste. Everyone thinks that you can't appreciate the sour, astringent, and bitter wine, so you put a bunch of sweet wine here." The old man put the bottle back and drank slowly Take a small half cup. He put down his wine glass and looked at North Ping City, which is getting closer and closer on the side of the highway, and said: "Hey, after seeing this scene, I actually felt a kind of'relaxed'-obviously I just came back from my home country. Ah. I suspect that if I go to the United States a few more times, I will become a public enemy of the whole people."

"How is it possible." Xiang Shan smiled.

"Sometimes I suspect that you never go online, Boss." The old man took another sip: "What kind of image am I over there? The spokesperson of the devil, the ambitious that destroys the world, the medical industry The destroyer of... If I appear in public with a politician, there is even a risk of being thrown eggs!"

"That's just a handful of extremists." Xiang Shan didn't care: "In Here, I am the officially certified pillar of the country. There are still a group of silly people who go to the Internet to greet my whole family, saying that I am'intent to pollute the human bloodline' and that I am the'criminal of the nation'. A minority."

"The situation is really different. There are too many stupid shortcomings over there—you won't forget the guys who threw stones at us in Silicon Valley?"

Xiang Shan laughed "Yes, but you called a whole team of riot police. I think the opposite party is rather pitiful."

"Hey...You are really..." The old man shook his head again: " Again, I advise you to pay more attention to business reputation, corporate image..."

"Our company is based on R&D. All activities exist to support R&D institutions." Xiang Shan said The following words were blocked.

The old man's name is Bernard Dubois. In the Republic, he gave himself a localized name called "Di Bernard". Sometimes Xiang Shan also calls him "Lao Di".

Lao Di is a native of the United States, the standard "Old Bai male"-that is, old, white, male. Just as there will be homeless people with the surname "Fujiwara" in Japan, there will also be poor lower-class people in the "Old Bai Man". However, a wealthy Old Bai man like Bernard thinks of deep-rooted social relationships and vast network resources.

Bernard is a professional manager. He was hired to join Xiang Shan's company two years ago and became one of the company's several high level managers. Prior to this, he served as an executive in many high-tech companies and has extensive experience in the industry.

However, few people know Bernard’s other identity-a political broker. He has personal relationships with many politicians, and he knows which institutions have close relations with government officials in the United States. He knows how to properly use "donations" to maintain the friendly relationship between his own company and the political forces of the United States.

Although it sounds a bit "unreliable", this is actually a high level art. After all, wanting to spend money reasonably, legally and efficiently is also a science. Even on Wall Street, there are a large number of managers who don't understand all these things, and companies that have been swept out of the free market because they don't understand these things.

For more than half of 43 years, he has been traveling in the United States for companies under the name of Xiang Shan and the others, striving for laws or policies that are more beneficial to this company.

Apart from this, he is also responsible for acquiring equity in specific technology companies for the company.

According to Bernard’s understanding, the R&D team headed by Yoggmov is working on a huge project. This project has a lot of "pre-technology"-and the more embarrassing thing is that some of these pre-technology have been developed and patented.

There are some companies that are extremely confident in confidential work. They have not even applied for a patent, but instead use it in the production process secretly.

However, what makes Bernard somewhat incomprehensible is that the Xiang Shan team seems to have a perverted obsession with this matter. They do not intend to purchase licenses, nor do they intend to sign a sharing agreement in the form of "technical shareholding".

Xiang Shan's thoughts are unreasonable in the eyes of this manager.

This uncle is either buying a patent he wants, and then granting it to the whole world free of charge.

Either even through compulsory acquisition, the patent holder’s company will be eaten down, and then the patent will be granted to the whole world free of charge.

Of course, the financial resources of enterprises are not endless. Therefore, this has Bernard's chance to play.

Bernard’s task is to promote legislation to limit the upper limit of revenue that medical prosthetic patents can bring.

In simple terms, it is to use legislation to set an upper limit on the profit rate of medical prostheses, and even lower this upper limit as much as possible.

For Xiang Shan, this calendar means that some medical technology companies are expected to reduce their income. He can lower the price as much as possible in the negotiation of patent acquisition or compulsory equity acquisition.

Of course, there are also supporting policies. For example, high subsidies are given to some medical prosthetic enterprises to compensate them for their research and development expenses.

But in the eyes of discerning practitioners, this is just a "soft knife." After all, the uncertainty of the "subsidy object" and "subsidy scope" is too great-far greater than their behavior of analyzing demand and manufacturing demand from market research.

In the eyes of conservatives, this idea is simply unreasonable. They believe that this kind of behavior will undoubtedly affect the enthusiasm of R&D personnel for the medical industry and hinder the progress of medical technology.

It is precisely because of this that Bernard, who was secretly active, was also picked up by conservative reporters and was labeled "Satan in the medical industry."

"A believer in the free market." Xiang Shan didn't care: "Don't pay attention to them. And as a researcher, I have to speak frankly with you. This approach will not hinder the researcher to improve medical technology. Enthusiasm. It will only hinder capitalists from investing in related industries."

"Although it does not sound very'free', it is very inclined to'equality'. You said it yourself, just look for it. I can find a lot of politicians from the donkey party who hope to make this a political achievement."

"Boss, I can hear the little bit of ridicule in your tone." Bernard sighed: "Do you know how the Kingdom of France in the early 18th century completely lost the competition with the Brittany Empire?"

"en? Is it time to discuss historical topics?"

Lao Lao Di shook the head: "The kingdom established a'Mississippi Company' against the empire's'East India Company'. However, the King of France did not respect the objective laws of finance at all, so he blew it within his own country. A huge bubble. This led to the entire eighteenth century, France was in a state of erosion, and then missed a whole reality-and then the world-known revolution."

"And their Opponents respect the general laws of Economics."

"Your very respectable Mr. Carl believes that Economics is a very objective law. It is foolish to challenge the laws of nature. Although our company’s R&D team is The greatest in the world, but it shouldn’t surpass objective laws. You have to respect a little bit of objective laws. If you insist on destroying it, you will be beaten one day."
