Chapter 20: How bold are people

When people are lucky, good things always follow.

Just when Gao Wen was still immersed in the joy of receiving two million huge orders in a row, the assistant Chu Nan sent him another great news.

"Boss, good news, great news! The Chinese government has just placed an order with us for a million office Tamron FC. ”

When Gao Wen heard the news, he couldn't help but be a little confused, and said suspiciously:

"One million units, why do you suddenly order so many, can you digest it?"

Chu Nan frowned, looked at Gao Wen in confusion, and asked with some puzzlement:

"Isn't this the result of your operation, boss?"

Chu Nan's words made Gao Wen a little confused for a while:

"My assistant Chu, don't wronged good people. Why is this related to me, and I didn't force such a large order to be placed in China. ”

Chu Nan couldn't help but be a little speechless when he saw that Gao Wen was so forgetful, and only after a long time did he remind Gao Wen angrily and funny:

"Boss, you didn't force it, but the 10,000-word book you handed over two months ago was the root cause of all this. ”

Being reminded by Chu Nan like this, Gao Wen remembered the 'good deeds' he did two months ago.

It turned out that two months ago, in order to complete the task of the system, Gao Wen, was afraid that Tenglong FC would not be able to achieve the expected results in the American market, so he started the domestic idea again for the sake of insurance. He wanted to artificially create domestic demand, using the domestic market as a substitute to ensure that he could complete the task of the system as required on schedule - to develop a new operating system and to reach one million users of the system within a year.

Unexpectedly, the Tamron FC plan not only went smoothly, but also far exceeded his expectations. He was so happy for a while that he forgot that he had handed over a book of 10,000 words to the relevant departments in China.

It's just that he forgot, but the country has not forgotten. His book of 10,000 words was not only handed over, but also listened to heaven. Like a torch, it attracted reformers and conservatives from the central government to the local government, from academia to industry, like moths, and flew into it without hesitation.

In fact, Gao Wen's book of 10,000 words does not have much characteristics, and it is just a summary of the three stages of informatization he experienced before crossing - digitalization, networking, and intelligence.

The general content of it revolves around the three points of digitalization, networking, and intelligence.

For example, digitalization lays the foundation for the acquisition and accumulation of data resources, a networked construction platform promotes the circulation and aggregation of data resources, and intelligent display capabilities present human-like intelligence for information applications through the fusion and analysis of multi-source data to help humans better understand things and solve problems.

The specific point is to first realize office automation, then vigorously develop the Internet, and then upgrade traditional industries with network technology, so as to enter the era of intelligent Internet of Things with the Internet of Everything.

These are the three stages that informatization will inevitably go through, and even if Gao Wen does not break it in advance, with the development of the times, these three stages will inevitably come in turn.

But he couldn't stand Gao Wen's ability to blow and package, and he also brought the American Arpanet, the Soviet Union's super Internet OGAS (National Automated System for Computing and Information Processing) platform.

In the book of 10,000 words, he braged nonsense to a group of newcomers in China who had just reopened the country, only knew four modernizations, and did not know what the Internet and informatization were.

He told them in detail about the beautiful visions that will come when the information age comes, such as industrial multipliers, a strong supplement to the planned economy, the realization of open government information, and the elimination of undemocratic politics......

Of course, while telling these beautiful visions, he did not forget to threaten what kind of terrible consequences would occur if information was not carried out.

For this reason, he once again pulled the United States and the Soviet Union together to stand up for his rhetoric. Tell a group of pink newcomers in China: You see that the first brother who is as powerful as the two camps are opening their own information age in their own ways, and if you dare not keep up, you are not afraid of the situation of being backward and beaten again?

In the face of such a powerful reason, whether he is a reformist or a moderate in China, they are all impressed.

The reformers felt that the clarion call for economic and political reform had been sounded, while the moderates believed that informationization was a powerful compensation for the planned economy and the hope for achieving political clarity.

In a rare situation, the reformers and the moderates reached an agreement on the realization of informatization without disagreement or disagreement.

It's just that in this way, Gawain will be miserable.

Originally, he planned to reap the benefits first, spend a few more years gradually achieve digitalization, and then rely on portable systems to slowly transition to the networked stage.

But what he never expected was that the country would act so decisively, and he would make a decision so quickly, or take out a million orders at a time.

Thinking of this, Gawain couldn't help but feel bitter at the corners of his mouth.

Aren't they afraid that such a large investment will be wasted?

But how can this be blamed on the people who make such decisions in China, and it is not the result of his instigation.

The reason why the domestic society is so resolute in investing a large amount of money in informatization when the economy is not well off is not because it is trying to boost the confidence of domestic policymakers and tell the people in China that even if these investments ultimately fail, there will be no adverse effects. On the contrary, as long as we insist on independent production and improve the localization rate of related equipment in the process of informatization, even if these investments ultimately fail, they can also play a great role in improving the development of the domestic microelectronics industry and improve the efficiency of the government, enterprises and institutions.

To sum up, whether it succeeds or fails in the end, it will only have a good effect, not any bad one. The only difference between success and failure is whether the impact of the good is greater or smaller.

After Gao Wen's analysis, and then after the argumentation of domestic experts and scholars, a number of domestic decision-makers found that this is really the case. Since no matter whether it succeeds or fails, there will be a good result horizontally and vertically, so what are you afraid of, just go directly.

Thinking of this, Gao Wen really wanted to find a regret pill and swallow it in one gulp.

Although what he said was true, if he wanted to achieve the effect he said, even the worst effect after failure, it would not be effective in the short term.

Whether it is to improve the administrative efficiency of enterprises, institutions or government agencies, or to promote the development of the domestic microelectronics industry, it is a long-term system project, which requires a long-term investment of a large amount of funds.

This also means that one or two large sums of money can only be used to show the determination to develop the information industry, and there can be no substantial progress at all.

After all, the domestic industrial base is placed there, and with the exception of a very small number of special industrial fields such as the nuclear industry and the aerospace industry, although the overall system of China's light and heavy industries is complete, it is technically 20 or 30 years behind that of an industrially developed capitalist country like the United States.

It is undoubtedly much more difficult to realize informationization on such an industrial basis than it is from other countries. According to Gawain's own estimates, it would take ten years to make the progress he described.

But he was worried, he was afraid that he would not be able to wait that long. Not to mention waiting for ten years, or waiting for three years without the progress he said should have been made, I am afraid that he will be questioned as a liar, and since then he will lose the trust of the country in the continuous questioning.

It is important to know that the establishment of trust is like climbing a mountain, and it takes one step at a time to climb to the top of the mountain to establish this trust.

But it's easy to destroy that trust, and you can destroy it overnight by jumping off a cliff.

At that time, he was treated as a liar that everyone shouted at, where did he still have prestige at all, and his reputation was almost the same. If he doesn't know that he has now reached the proficient level of information science, he will fall back to the entry level, and he can't expect to earn prestige to improve his level in the future.

Thinking of such a serious consequence, Gawain was not good. If it really comes to that point, it is better to kill him.

It's a pity that there is no regret in the world for selling medicine, and he can only bite the bullet when things come to this point.
