Bai Weiren respects scientists very much, saying that he doesn't dare to be angry with them, this is a bit self-deprecating, his temper is really bad, the officials are trembling when the meeting is held, for fear that some data is not clear, Bai Weiren himself is an economic expert, others just want to deceive and can't deceive, when others report, he often asks questions, if the other party can't answer, then he has to be trained.

"Vice Premier Bai, you are polite, this is our job, of course we must work hard to do a good job. ”

Lu Xiaoren hurriedly replied.

"We all have our own jobs, as long as we can do our best, but some work can not be done with all our heart, Liu Lang, I heard that you are going to build a local area network, are you sure?"

Bai Weiren asked Liu Lang when he came up, and everyone present was a little surprised.

This is Bai Weiren organized a routine economic meeting, this kind of meeting is generally held once a month, the current economic situation analysis, although the time will not be too long, but it is also a more important meeting, in advance to develop the process, such as the economic commission department first report the output value, fixed assets input, the Bureau of Commerce to report the introduction of foreign investment, the financial department to report expenditure and taxation and so on.

Liu Lang's participation in the meeting was not written in the agenda, obviously calling him over is a stop, he has also participated in this kind of meeting before, but it is all put at the end, today is a little different, Bai Weiren was the first to call Liu Lang's name, what else is the local area network? What is this thing?

The vast majority of people are confused.

"You don't know what a LAN café is. ”

Before Liu Lang could answer, Bai Weiren looked at everyone again.

No one spoke at the scene.

"Has anyone read this book?"

Bai Weiren put a book on the table, and Liu Lang saw that it was "Digital Survival" written by himself.

"Professor Lu, have you read this book?"

Bai Weiren looked at Lu Xiaoren again.

"Vice Premier Bai, this is written by Liu Lang, and now it is a must-read book for students in our school, I have also read it, but I don't understand it, I am old, and my thinking can't keep up with my youth. ”

"Well, it's very good to read it, I also have a hard time reading this book, I can't understand many places, but there is no doubt that this book is very good, outlining a future era, just like Liu Lang's "Wave of the Tertiary Industry" can predict the future trend of the world economy, this book is also epoch-making. ”

Bai Weiren gently patted "Digital Survival".

What kind of book is this?

A lot of people are starting to talk to each other, but they haven't heard of it, and what is digitalization, how do you survive? In short, they don't understand the title.

Indeed, in the nineties, not to mention Chinese, even the vast majority of Americans did not know what the concept of digitalization was.

Bai Weiren frowned slightly, it doesn't matter if ordinary people don't know what digitalization is, but who are the people here? They are at the helm of the country and various industries, and their cognition determines the development height of this industry, how can they not understand digitalization? And this book has been out for more than a year, you should also read it.

Bai Wei is self-reliant, and feels that others should read more good books that he thinks, but after all, few people can reach his height.

"Okay, let's not discuss this issue, you go back and take a good look at this book, it will be helpful to everyone, Liu Lang, you should talk about your plan!"

Bai Weiren waved his hand and motioned for everyone to be quiet.

Liu Lang was not polite, stood up and elaborated on his idea of building a campus LAN.

Bai Weiren listened while taking notes from time to time, and the others hurriedly wrote down what Liu Lang said when they saw Bai Weiren recording it, although they didn't understand what he was talking about.

Liu Lang started with the current level of the United States, and then compared his own, and at the same time clarified the importance of the Internet.

"Liu Lang, is the Internet really so important?"

Bai Weiren interjected.

"Very, very important, in fact, the network is only the surface, the deep level is the popularization of digitalization, for the people, this is a subversive change, our lives will be completely changed, and for the country, the impact of digital technology is more huge and far-reaching, I take the war as an example, if one side has digital communication technology, the other side is still a traditional communication method, then there is no way to carry out this war, their strength will be unequal.

I would like to make a bold prediction here that Iraq has launched a war of aggression against Kuwait, and if the United States intervenes in this war, Iraq will become a child and will die a terrible death. ”

Iraq launched a war against Kuwait a month ago, and now that Kuwait is completely occupied by Iraq, this war was expected by many people, and the result is not surprising, and the strong Iraq is not something that the weak Kuwait can withstand.

This is a clear act of aggression, and the United Nations has stated that it wants Iraq to withdraw from Kuwait immediately.

However, Iraq obviously will not accept it, he is now fearless, he thinks that he has oil, if you sanction me, it will definitely affect the world's oil prices, and then it will be a big deal.

Indeed, many countries are very worried that the United Nations sanctions on Iraq will cause oil prices to rise sharply and affect their own energy problems.

However, the United States has stood up and fully supported the imposition of sanctions against Iraq and issued a warning that it will use force against Iraq.

Many countries have taken the U.S. warning lightly and feel that they will not do it.

Ten years ago, the Soviet Union launched the war in Afghanistan, and the result was that the equally powerful Soviet Union fought for a whole decade without winning, because the vast desert and a steady stream of guerrillas plunged their army into an endless sea of sand and a "people's war".

A weak Afghanistan was a source of confusion for the powerful Soviet Union, let alone a strong Iraq, so many countries felt that the United States would not go to war against Iraq, and that even if they could win in the end, they would pay a heavy price.

China's top brass also thinks so, feeling that the Americans are now in a dilemma, don't fight, your little brother is being bullied, if the big brother doesn't come out, I'm afraid that the majesty will be swept away, let's fight, then the result is likely to be like the Vietnam War back then, and finally the domestic anger and resentment.

The high-level people are still inclined to the United States to solve this big trouble through political means, and the most likely result is that Kuwait will cede a lot of interests and then let Iraq withdraw its troops, after all, the oil problem is a big problem in the world, but fortunately, China's current oil is barely self-sufficient, and it has little to do with world oil prices.

Now Liu Lang has proposed in front of everyone that if the Americans send troops, then Iraq will absolutely not be able to stop it, and the gap between the two sides is like that of adults and children, this point of view has aroused discussion among most people, and many people think that Liu Lang is talking nonsense, and even think that he is suspected of exaggerating the strength of the United States, in short, not many people believe his point of view.
