Rebirth of the Tech Madman

...

What does free software movement mean?

To put it as simple as possible, that is, in the original time and space, without it, Google’s technology could not be developed; without it, from professional obscure telephone exchanges, global satellite positioning receivers, nuclear magnetic resonance imaging, to wide-ranging For the familiar smart phones, smart homes, etc., fields that require embedded systems cannot be popularized so quickly for commercial use.

What is the driving force of the software movement?

It's hard to say, it's the kind of ideal pure hacker culture.

This thing looks very "virtual", but it is inextricably linked to the rise of personal computers. Because with the development of technology, computers have become a symbol of the government's manipulation of society and become one of the tools of counterculture. It has also become the best target for hackers to challenge technical difficulties and demonstrate superb intelligence.

Of course, not everyone is indulged in the free sharing atmosphere of this hacker culture.

On February 3, 1976, I was disappointed that most computer enthusiasts used altair_basic, the software written by altair, the world’s first commercially successful personal computer without paying. Gates published "an_open_letter_to_hobbyists"-"An Open Letter to Hobbyists", in which he said: "Who would do these professional jobs without any pay? What kind of hobbyists can invest in his products? Years of development time, and find all the errors, write documentation, and release this product for free?"

On April 1st of the same year, Jobs persuaded Woz to create Apple together, turning the personal computer he invented into a product sold on the market-apple_1.

For a while, commercializing this kind of intelligent achievements in the computer field, protecting them with patents, and gaining wealth has become a rolling trend.

The hacker culture that advocates free sharing, under this powerful pressure, collapsed.

Chad Matthew Stallman, employed by the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, has personally experienced this change. He couldn't understand him, so he stood up and became a saint who advocated the free software movement.

In Chad Matthew Stallman's view, any act of "enclosing" software is very unethical.

Of course, Chad Matthew Stallman is not the one who emptied the gun. He made actual contributions and wrote three very important free softwares-text editor emacs, compiler, and debugger. gdb.

It can be said that only an operating system, Chad Matthew Stallman’s free software, has a complete platform; but unfortunately, he got stuck on this level and realized that, It cannot be done by oneself.

At this stage, Chad Matthew Stallman is giving speeches everywhere, defending free software and fighting against the expansion of software patents and copyright laws. The identity is not just a hacker, but a politician. Govern activists.

The powerful Tang's richest man was cautious towards Chad Matthew Stallman and his free software movement for very complicated reasons.

First of all, the hacker culture behind the free software movement is worthy of awe.

Secondly, Tang Huan’s benefits from commercial software are not known to be many times greater than Gates. Once he is targeted by the Freedom Software Movement, which stands on the commanding heights of morality, it is possible that all kinds of ill-intentioned conspiracy come together. The point of view.

In addition, you must always ask yourself—the reason why Tangit is so against the sky is precisely because it benefits from the free software movement development results in the original time and space.

You must think about the source of drinking water!

Therefore, in answering Linus Torvalds’ question, in addition to showing caution, Tang Huan was also very sincere.

As a summary, Tang Huan turned around and wrote "open_source_software"-"open source software" on the blackboard, and then explained: "The software movement is based on an ethical point of view, and treats all commercial software as exploiting others. , A tool for earning profits. I have no intention of debating this point. I prefer to express my appreciation for'open source software' from the perspective of software quality, and the definition of free software as open source software is stricter. Special case."

Seeing the richest man answering his questions in such a comprehensive and meticulous manner, Linus Torvalds was very excited. After the speech, he held several Tang Huan technical works that he had bought and asked for his signature.

Tang Huan, who writes the dragon and snake, patiently satisfied the other party’s requirements, while smiling and jokingly said: "The reason why you ask me about the free software movement is not because you see me as exploiting others with commercial software. Is it a typical representative?"

Linus Torvalds, who glanced at the email address Tang Huan wrote in the book, cherished the place and collected it, and answered earnestly: "Although you have gained tremendous wealth through commercial software, I also use this resource to make a contribution that cannot be ignored for the popularization of computer knowledge around the world."

"Many of our students at the University of Helsinki have signed up to participate in activities organized by philosophical training and certification agencies, and even quickly found their favorite jobs based on the qualifications and ability certificates they obtained."

"The public welfare project aimed at bridging the knowledge gap-One Child One Computer Project. In Finland, our Helsinki University Student Union has organized personnel to visit. It can really help children master the modern computer as early as possible. Technology tools, I don’t know how much easier it is than when I explored it myself."

"In addition, your technical masterpiece has long become a holy book for those of us who are interested in the field of it."

"In short, no matter how you look at it, you can withstand the moral torture that the software movement strongly promotes."

Everyone likes fame and fortune, and the world's richest man is no exception.

Tang Huan laughed loudly and said, "I hope you young people can look at the problem so rationally."

...

The richest man's itinerary in Finland covers a wide range, in addition to business, academics, and even art.

Last year, the box office performance of Die Hard Sequel was ideal. Its director Renee Haring is a Finn who only went to Hollywood to develop in the mid-1980s.

During Tang Huan's stay in Finland, he called this person from Los Angeles, USA, as a lubricant for communicating with Finland.

In fact, Finland is also remarkable in terms of film, and there are many filmmakers with international influence. For example, in addition to Renee Haring, there is also Aki Kaurismaki, which was launched the year before. The comedy movie-"The Legend of Leningrad Cowboy" helped him attract the attention of the whole world.

Not to mention, during this period, there really was a project called "darkness_in_tallinn"-"Darkness_in_tallinn", which was delivered to the richest man.

According to the consultant team, this is a thriller comparable to "The Silent Lambs."

Then invest!

Ever since, the visit of the richest man to Finland has just added a practical achievement in cultural cooperation.

Before leaving Finland, Tang Huanbian invited Finnish celebrities from all walks of life to hold a thank-you banquet, and once again enjoyed the original sauna with nostalgia.

You know, sauna was invented by Finns, known as the national quintessence of Finland, and belongs to one of the few Finnish words that have entered the world language category.

There is a proverb in Finland: Build a sauna first, then build a house.

This shows how enthusiastic Finns are for saunas.

Sauna is like oriental "tea", forming a set of its own cultural system and producing some unwritten rules.

For example, wearing clothes in a steam room is considered a rude behavior.

In addition, depending on the specific circumstances, it is sometimes acceptable for men and women to enjoy the sauna together.

However, Mr. richest man has not had the opportunity to see this trip.

The richest man Tang took a farewell sauna this time, and the accompanying persons were naturally high-ranking officials, including Finnish Prime Minister Esko Aho, Nokia Chairman and CEO Simo Vorinato, and Nokia star executives. Yoma Ollila, who is very likely to succeed the CEO, and so on.

Everyone was in a very happy mood. This trip by Guyin, the helpful richest man, gave a helping hand to Finland and reciprocated in Finland. It can be said that everyone has their own gains and has a good time.

The most noticeable investment made by the richest man Tang in Finland was undoubtedly the construction of the Internet, which undoubtedly brought the dawn of hope to Finland in the midst of a severe economic recession.

Of course, the most representative cooperation project is Nokia's mobile communications business.

This group, which has even divested its traditional papermaking business, is eagerly seeking transformation, but it has doubts about the huge investment and high product prices in the mobile communication field, which makes it difficult to grasp the market prospects. Now it has become the richest man. OEM brother" is really an unexpected joy.

In this candid atmosphere, the assistant signaled an emergency report outside.

Tang Huan waved his hand and gestured openly to the other party to speak directly.

When I heard that British Prime Minister John Major wanted to meet with him immediately, the richest man replied lazily: "Tell him, I'm very sorry, I've been busy lately and I can't rush to London."

Esco Aho not far away, the corners of his mouth moved. The Finnish prime minister has naturally done enough to entertain the world’s richest man. For example, he asked about Tang Huan’s preferences and taboos. Naturally, it also included the fact that he failed to meet the British Prime Minister at 10 Downing Street in the UK before coming to Finland. Subtle meaning of intelligence.

In Esco Aho's opinion, John Major seems a bit too arrogant. No matter what the differences are, the position of the world's richest man deserves everyone to sit down and communicate instead of naively fighting the cold war.

But now, looking at the style of the richest man in Tang, this is also a man of good temperament. Fortunately, he is pragmatic and entertained, and he has cultivated a positive result.

After dismissing his men, Tang Huan bluntly explained: "Prime Minister Major wants to see me, not because of the enthusiasm between friends, but because he wants to drag me into a dispute."

"Hong Kong in Asia is promoting a new airport construction project with a capital scale of more than 15 billion U.S. dollars. The loan required inevitably crosses the return of Hong Kong in 1997. This has made the Chinese side doubtful about Hong Kong's fiscal reserves and made it public. Said that he did not bless this so-called'Rose Garden Project'."

"The moderate representative of the British Foreign Office and the former British ambassador to China, Sir Collida, made a secret visit to China, tried his best to lobby China, cooperated with the'Rose Garden Project', and finally made progress-as long as the British Prime Minister John Major arrives in person When China signs the memorandum of understanding, then China will support the construction of the new airport and adopt a positive attitude towards the debt issue remaining after the transfer of sovereignty of Hong Kong."

Having said that, Tang Huan shrugged and said with a smile: "However, in the current international situation, Prime Minister Major deserves to be the leader of the Conservative Party. He is unwilling to go to China."

"At the same time, he took a fancy to me who owns Xiangjiang Qinhe Group and wants me to play a bigger role."

"At the end of the day~www.readwn.com~ is just a businessman with a little stronger financial strength. How could I be involved in a dispute between two big countries without knowing it?"

After listening to Tang Huan’s explanation, Esco Aho nodded again and again with deep understanding, “It is still very necessary to disregard the relationship.”

Finland's rapid economic growth during the Cold War, apart from relying on its own efforts, is inseparable from the loose international trade environment created by maintaining neutrality.

In addition to its close neighbors such as the Soviet Union and Sweden, Finland and China far in the east have also maintained good relations for a long time. It established diplomatic relations with China on October 28, 1950, and it has continued to this day.

In terms of economy, in 1980, Finland granted China the Generalized System of Preferences; at the same time, it signed a cultural cooperation and exchange plan for the first time, which was renewed every three years thereafter.

Politically, in 1986, then Finnish Prime Minister Kalevi Solsa visited China and became the first Finnish government head to visit China; in 1988, then Finnish President Mauro Koivisto Visited China and became the first Finnish head of state to visit China.

So, regardless of the distance between Finland and China, they are not unfamiliar to China.

Esko Aho, who racked his brains to pull the Finnish economy out of the quagmire of severe recession, said very eagerly: "China has a population of 1 billion, with a land area equal to that of Europe, but the vast market is far from developed Don’t forget to bring our Finnish companies and develop together with Tang, who has inherent advantages there."

"Of course." Tang Huan smiled, "My cooperation with Nokia will be the best example."

...

The richest man didn't usually slap his face. As soon as British Prime Minister John Major pinched his nose and left for China, he slowly returned to the UK.
