Chapter 162: The Headlines (2/4)

In the lounge of Yale's ancient auditorium, Sumu met Vice President George W. Bush for the first time.

He was no longer young, and he was holding a speech when an expert told him which words to focus on.

If you look closely at the shoes on the vice president's feet, the black leather shoes are so bright that they are reflective, and it is said that when he goes to meet the workers, he will wear old leather shoes that have been worn out, and it is better to bring a little gray, and now when he comes to Yale, he should naturally show the most magnificent side.

Running for president is never a matter of luck, and it is not possible to win the votes of voters without putting a lot of effort into it.

Just choosing a tie can make you write a very knowledgeable social book, the red tie makes people feel energetic, and the blue represents calmness and wisdom.

Since the first televised candidate debates, the campaign team's task has increased a bit.

In fact, there are many American voters who voted because the candidates looked slightly better, after all, they represent the image of the United States, and it is not okay to split the melon and split the dates.

Vice President Bush is a handsome old man, and his son George Walker Bush is also very cool-looking, chatting with the old president of Yale, both father and son studied at Yale University, and can be regarded as Sumu's seniors.

Led by Lily, no one embarrassed Su Mu, and after coming to the old man with great power, she introduced it seriously: "This is my former classmate, Leon Sue, who is still studying at Yale and is already a well-known rich man in Silicon Valley." ”

"Yale", "Silicon Valley", "Rich", ordinary businessmen are businessmen, and rich people represent very rich, especially doing business in Silicon Valley, Bush Sr. understood these three words, instantly smiled, stretched out his hand to Su Mu and said: "Hello, I'm George Bush, you look really young, Yale University is really good, and it can always cultivate amazing geniuses." ”

After Su Mu shook hands with him, someone immediately came over with a camera to take pictures, probably because he didn't feel kind enough, and Bush even reached out to put his arm around his shoulder.

Politicians never offend anyone easily, understand that multiple friends are better than multiple enemies, the more high-level the United States, the more tactful and sleek they are, it is easy for Su Mu to have a good impression, and replied with a smile: "Sir, I think in recent decades, Yale's highest achievement should be you, and there is about to appear a US president in our school again." ”

"Haha! This world belongs to you young people, and I am very happy to see so many talented people at Yale, it has been a long time since I have been back, and there are memories everywhere, and I remember when I was studying here decades ago. ”

After taking the photo, Mr. Bush let go of his hand and asked with a kind smile: "Is the situation in Silicon Valley okay recently, I went there once in 1983, the business is full of vitality, and the last time I went to California, I planned to see it again, but unfortunately the itinerary was too tight and I didn't have time." ”

I have remembered the information that my staff showed him, and I sighed in my heart how this brain looked, he made hundreds of millions of dollars in just a few years, and recently I often heard that someone in Silicon Valley became a billionaire, but in fact he didn't know anything about the IT industry.

The Bush family is also in business, and after several generations of development, compared with the young Chinese in front of him, they have become a small fight, and his aides have told him that the technology people in Silicon Valley have a very high status in the minds of young voters, so they deliberately get closer to Su Mu.

School has always been an important topic for Americans to socialize, and an Ivy League school occupies half of the political world, so many wealthy families have to send their children to these schools, which is of great help to future development.

"Yale is really good, I will never forget these years, I was going to go back to California today, but I heard that you are going to give a speech, sir, so I stayed and left after listening.

In fact, I just voted for you in the morning, Silicon Valley has made great progress during the Reagan era, I hope this open policy can continue, if you can pay a little less tax for company development, it would be better, recently many companies have fallen into a state of loss, and are still in the stage of expanding the market, and there are essential differences with other industries, I think the next decade of rapid economic development, will be dominated by the Internet industry. ”

It feels like facing elders, Su Mu is not used to the polite and fake chat atmosphere, and it is rare to have a direct dialogue with the top level of the American government, and simply represents Silicon Valley and expresses the needs of a group of entrepreneurs, including himself.

"Oh, the market is bigger than cars and steel?" Bush Sr. was interested.

"They're already stable, aren't they? But the IT industry has just developed, and if our company's next projects are realized, the Internet will spread to the vast majority of households in the world, and it is possible for the NASDAQ index to double in five years, and as long as it can get official support, the United States will once again achieve rapid economic development during your tenure......

Lily was standing next to her, thinking that Su Mu would have stage fright, but she didn't expect to perform so well, worried that her godfather would think he was talking big, and said: "Leon told me that he has come up with a way to make it easy for everyone to browse the content on the Internet, which will make the entire IT industry take a big step forward, and it is indeed possible to drive economic development and create a large number of jobs." ”

Hearing this, the elder Bush was moved, and Mr. Baker, the chief aide not far away, had a fairly good understanding of the development of the IT industry, and could not help but ask Su Mu: "The NASDAQ index will double in five years? This data is reliable? As far as I know, it is difficult to popularize the Internet, and I have used it to check information, and it is very difficult to operate, and I must be helped by experts." ”

"Sir, it will be easy after a while, if the National Science Foundation is willing to cooperate with me, and if necessary, I need to change some legal provisions on the Internet, if it really succeeds, it will create millions of jobs. ”

Su Mu knows that talking to powerful people must make himself appear to have the same status, so as not to be despised, in this era, countless people fantasize about letting personal computers enter everyone's family, especially those who produce and sell computers, but unfortunately they can't find a way out.

Now Su Mu has found it, he has read many books, and he has also learned programming, and he thinks that the way of hypertext links can be successful nine times out of ten, and will connect the content of the Internet into a whole in the future, if it is really realized, it will be easy to create a million jobs, and other IT industries can also make money, and the market value will inevitably rise.

Rhetorical question: "Now that there are millions of users, the value of our company is already very high, if there are tens of millions, billions of Internet users, will the NASDAQ index remain the same?"

Hearing the staff member Mr. Baker speak, the elder Bush knew that there was a play, no matter what, it was not bad to make a gimmick, as a presidential candidate, he was most afraid of not having a hot topic, and whether he could achieve it was another matter.

patted Su Mu on the shoulder and praised: "If I can create so many jobs, I will do my best, and we will talk after the speech, even if I can't become president, I will still be vice president, for the sake of the people, I will definitely help you......"

The politician's speech was like a footcloth, smelly and long, and then two economic aides accompanied Su Mu to talk for more than half an hour, and someone recorded the whole conversation.

The next day, the news of presidential candidate George W. Bush's attempt to vigorously develop the Internet and create 3 million jobs was published on the front page of the New York Times, with a photo of Su Mu shaking hands with Bush Sr. on the cover, which caused a sensation in the United States!

Especially in Silicon Valley, a group of technical experts and business tycoons learned that Su Mu had come up with the so-called "Internet that can really enter ordinary homes" and "invent a new type of network technology", and countless people flocked to Yale University to try to get the news from him.

However, Sumu has already left.......
