Rebirth of the Tech Madman
Chapter 908: Internet business backbone network takes shape
...
In fact, before the official announcement, these two research results were already very eye-catching in small circles.
For example, among the patients receiving cocktail therapy, there is a very famous NBA star Irvine Johnson, nicknamed "Magic Johnson". On November 7, 1991, he announced to the public that he was infected with the aids virus and that he would retire soon, shocking the American people.
The research institution under Tang Huan’s intervention in this field was very early, and the cocktail therapy naturally came out significantly ahead of time. After playing too hard, the winning magician Johnson became a test product in a hurry, and the treatment The effect is also quite good.
The biggest proof is that Magic Johnson participated in the 1992 NBA All-Star Game, served as the main guard, led the West Coast star team, defeated the East Coast star team by 40 points, and won the most valuable player of the game; Then he was selected for the "Dream Team" and went to the Barcelona Olympic Games.
Being very confident in his physical state of play, Magic Johnson announced his comeback after a triumphant return from Barcelona, which caused a huge sensation. The reason is that any stadium status is false. The key is that other players are afraid of his illness.
The rivers and lakes are deep-many NBA stars, including Michael Jordan, have remained silent, only Karl Malone came forward to publicly oppose.
It wasn't until the opening of the 1992-1993 season that in the last warm-up game of the Los Angeles Lakers, Magic Johnson had a small wound on his arm and bleeds, scaring other players to keep their distance nervously, that Magic Johnson didn't realize it. Fei is now better than before and has to give up the idea of coming back.
In short, Magic Johnson’s illness is well controlled by cocktail therapy. If it weren’t for people’s fear of aids, he could continue to play-this advertisement is enough to make cocktail therapy a widely accepted treatment. Up.
In terms of genetic engineering, since the 1970s, competition in research has become more and more fierce. In particular, the continuous improvement of computer performance has played a supplementary role to it.
The world's first genetically modified rooster is a milestone. On this basis, research on cloned sheep will be launched next.
The "007" series of movies "The Clone Crisis" released the year before last, and the "Jurassic Park" currently being screened are all helping to hype the concept of genetic engineering from the side.
It doesn't matter if there are different opinions on this. The more intense the debate, the hotter the concept, which can attract more resources; it is the terrorism represented by Ted Kasinski that has the most negative effect.
Fortunately, Ted Kaczynski’s anti-human industrial civilization declaration-"On Industrial Society and Its Future", was not publicly published by authoritative media, and he himself was analyzed by the media as a high IQ but psychological existence. The poor and hateful person in question has not formed a real countercurrent, which in turn affects the momentum that has been prepared.
Now, the question that Americans are more interested in is gossip such as how this mysterious genius bomber was picked up, and who the richest man's huge amount of 1 million dollars was offered as a reward, as for the so-called relationship between humans and industrial civilization. , Go to hell.
in fact. Tang Huan didn't "secret" the $1 million by himself, but set up a related charity fund casually and donated it.
The funny thing is that the $1 million that Summer Redstone gave to clarify the relationship can’t find a recipient.
Anyway, this person is a hero that Barry Diller can't compare. He even met the strange eyes of the media and went to visit the richest man, and directly expressed his attitude-who did you give your 1 million US dollars? Give it my one million dollars too!
The richest man was busy preparing a speech, he had no time to step on this landmine, he hummed for a while, and then sent it away.
Later, Summer Redstone said to the reporter without exaggeration: "Tang really is like a rumor, a very attractive person. I am deeply sorry for the inappropriate remarks made before because I didn’t know him. ."
"Fairness, morality..." While the outside world was dumbfounded by it, Summer Redstone completely cleared up the relationship and restored his business reputation, and then he had spare time to adjust his chaotic financial situation, so much so that he dared to ask. His wife, a prodigal wife who will cause trouble, is still divorced or not? .
...
Once U.S. President Bill Clinton took office, he resolutely reformed American society in accordance with the ideals of liberalism. Including tax increases to the wealthy class, launching various big government plans, letting same-sex lovers serve openly in the military, reforming the medical and health insurance system, etc. The result has caused a strong backlash from conservatives, and the situation can be described as chaotic.
As a sign of obvious frustration, the U.S. military disclosed homosexuality and challenged tradition. With strong opposition from the right and the military, Bill Clinton announced on July 19 that he would "don't_ask, don't_tell"-"Don't ask, don't tell" as a compromise.
Fortunately, what Bill Clinton and Al Gore promised to the richest man was to convert the backbone network established by the National Science Foundation for the interconnection of universities to commercial use. Formal US Congressional hearings.
The reason why this link is described as easy is that at this stage, both houses of the U.S. Congress and Senate are controlled by the Democratic Party. In addition, Bill Clinton, a Democratic Party member, is the current president. Up.
From this it is not difficult to see how radical Bill Clinton's governance is-under the overwhelming situation, he still hit a wall.
Although it stands to reason that this process will be very simple, after all, there are a lot of weird things here in the United States, and Congress is no exception. Tang Huan made special and serious preparations cautiously.
In this way, the richest man joined HP’s new chairman of the board, CEO and President Louis Pratt, Intel’s chairman Gordon Moore and other business leaders, as well as some computer academic elites, and came to the United States on Capitol Hill in Watson Shield Special Zone. House of Parliament.
Tang Huan looked around, and felt that there were slightly more members of Congress. It is estimated that in addition to specialized agencies such as the Science and Technology Committee, there are other members present.
In addition. Some members of the public whose applications have been approved also rushed to watch.
First of all, the National Science Foundation reported on its operation since its establishment-the bandwidth has been greatly increased several times, showing the vigorous development of Internet applications.
Then, the richest man gave a speech as an industry leader and representative of interests.
Tang Huan’s meticulous preparation is also related to the fact that Chinese rarely show up on such occasions—its recognized beginning was that on February 18, 1943, the lady Meiling called on all walks of life in the United States to support the lobbying of China's war of resistance.
The content of his speech, starting from the current industry data analysis, referring to past successful cases, and looking forward to the broad prospects of the future, gave a eloquent and endless explanation for about 10 minutes.
The richest man who didn't carry any shorthand materials, the kind of swift and instructive demeanor, first became so enchanted that warm applause erupted from the auditorium.
In the question and answer session, Tang Huan became the absolute center, and even faced some near-infinity problems.
For example, a congressman asked, "Tang, will you continue to write your best-selling book "The Rise of the Great Powers"?"
Speaking of it, the "Rise of the Great Powers" published by the richest man early, hinted at the ending of the Soviet Union, but no one noticed it at the time. Recently, it has been "revisited" in a seemingly over-interpreted way. It is attributed to the convenience of communication on brain-hole collisions brought about by the rapid development of the Internet.
The reason why Tang Huan intercepted Hu's "The Rise of the Great Powers" at the time was because there was an interest in opening up the global market at that time.
Therefore, the richest man replied seriously and frankly: "The Rise of the Great Powers was already finished when it was published. If you are interested in this book, you can pay attention to my upcoming new book on the future of digital technology. . And as long as you need, I can also attach my own signature."
Tang Huan's humor drew a burst of laughter, but digressions still occurred from time to time.
Another example is another serious question: "Tang, how do you deal with your competitors?"
"Your Excellency refers to the people who quarreled with me?" The richest man cleverly avoided the importance and said lightly: "When I came back from this business trip, Summer Redstone seemed to like to argue with me. In a recent meeting, he said that I was a little bit. It’s not like Darth Vader, because I’m not Darth Vader cool, and when I’m talking, even breathing the earth’s air, I’m so boring that I don’t have the slightest characteristic at all."
This time, it was the members of Congress who laughed out loud for the first time.
In this way, on the weird route that was sometimes serious and sometimes deviated, the hearing reached the end, and it seemed that it was really easy on the surface.
In a gap, Louis Pratt smiled and said to the richest man: "Tang, it seems that the rumor is not unfounded?"
"What rumors?" Tang Huan asked casually.
"Through your channels, haven't you heard of it?" Louis Pratt asked with a bit of amazement: "It's the federal government who wants to hire you for business and trade services."
Hewlett-Packard, which has paid more and more attention to risc microprocessors and servers recently, is not limited to the computer field. Like Motorola, it has undertaken many defense projects in the United States. It is just business with the government. Although extremely important, it is often ignored by public opinion.
More than a decade after the original time and space, Motorola was divided into two. The media just hyped up how it sold itself to Google, was drained of the essence of the patent, and then was sold to Lenovo in China. The situation was so miserable that it was unnecessary; but in fact, this Motorola is just the mobile device department of the old Motorola, responsible The consumer-grade product line, and the Motorola solution that obtained the enterprise-grade product line, is the true successor to the old Motorola, which is divided into the previous company's government, government and public safety departments and cellular mobile infrastructure departments.
These veteran companies have a deep political background, and even one of the co-founders of HP, David Puckold, also served as the Deputy Secretary of Defense in the Nixon cabinet.
Therefore, Luis Pratt's grapevine is extremely credible.
However, the richest man did get some news through his own channels. After all, whether it was Bush Sr. or Clinton, he was betting on the right, and he even noticed the relevant background checks and political audits conducted by the federal government.
"I said why the number of congressmen present today seems to be a lot, and even the various questions are almost off the topic. It turned out to be for the purpose of investigation." The richest man smiled and shook his head, and said playfully: "Actually, during President Bush, I I received a similar temptation, but at the time I couldn't get away from the busy business affairs ~www.readwn.com~ so I declined."
"If Tang can accept such an offer, it will be good news for the entire Silicon Valley." Louis Pratt eagerly suggested: "Take the'millennium bug' problem you raised as an example. The global business opportunities it provides are simply unimaginable, but this requires industry leaders to communicate with the actual managers of various markets-various governments and governments, in order to truly develop them."
"It's not in a hurry." The richest man waved his hand. "The Uruguay Round of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade is being negotiated. It is estimated that results will be produced next year. At that time, international trade barriers will be further eliminated and market development should be done. It will save much effort than before."
"On the contrary, it is urgent to let the backbone of the Internet grow up as soon as possible."
Seeing that Tang Huanzhi was not here, Louis Pratt couldn't help showing disappointment on his face.
In fact, I have to say one more thing-the rivers and lakes are deep.
On the surface, it seems that Tang Huan was recommended by everyone as a representative of the political interests of the IT industry, so as to lead everyone to make a fortune from a higher level; but secretly there is no lack of a conspiracy, that is, hope that the richest man can get from business. Pay more attention to the points-Gein, you are too focused, which puts everyone under a lot of pressure to compete!
How could Tang Huanying not be aware of this yin wind because he is so martial and wise as the sea?
It’s just that the rare ambiguity of Eastern philosophy lies in this-drag it first, let’s see the situation.
...
Soon after the hearing, the National Science Foundation of the United States was successfully approved and it was officially converted to commercial use within the year.
This news has further clarified the prospects for the development of the Internet, which has triggered a lot of turbulence.
