Chapter 426: Death of the Nation
The company's annual report didn't reflect much, and it wasn't until he visited the laboratory of the gene technology company that Li Zetian really felt the power of gene technology.
“Mr· Li, since the completion of the Human Genome Project, Gene Technology has proposed the 'Earth Biological Genome Project', which aims to map the genes of all organisms on the earth! At present, we are sequencing the genes of more than 10 organisms such as corn, wheat, rice, soybeans, chickens, ducks, carp, cattle, sheep, orangutans, and mice.
Dr. George's voice paused, and then he continued: "There are so many creatures on the earth, we can only choose these as our targets at present, because these creatures are closely related to us humans, corn, wheat, rice, soybeans, chickens, ducks, carp, cows, sheep are all our food, orangutans are very similar to our human genes, and mice are often used for experiments......"
When Li Zetian heard this, he couldn't help but nodded.
Apparently, gene tech companies are working on genetically modified organisms to find ways to increase food production!
With the increase of the global population, the food crisis is becoming more and more serious, but there are fewer and fewer people engaged in agricultural production, and millions of people in the world die of hunger every year! In the future, agriculture will not only need agricultural automation and mechanization, but also make a fuss about the crop seeds themselves to increase food production.
The more grain an acre of land produces, the more it can meet the huge needs of the growing population.
Currently, the most famous genetically modified seed in the world is Monsanto in the United States.
However, in terms of the strength and weakness of genetically modified technology, Monsanto can't compare with gene technology companies. However, gene technology companies have not yet officially entered the GM seed market.
Whether genetically modified foods are harmful to human beings or not has not yet been determined.
Genomics is analyzing a large amount of experimental data in a serious and responsible manner.
Some people will think, isn't this letting Monsanto become bigger and stronger?
In fact, Li Zetian is not worried about this at all. In his past life, GM foods were boycotted by European and American countries, and Monsanto struggled and was eventually acquired by other companies.
Therefore, don't look at Monsanto's current development is not bad, but it will eventually be won by gene technology companies.
……
In summer, the wind on the west coast of the United States is very cool.
After a period of treatment, Jobs's pancreatic cancer was finally cured, but he was still a little weak after recovering from a serious illness, so he vacationed on the sunny beach on the west coast of California.
When Li Zetian heard the news, it was also a matter of concern.
Now, Dongfang Yuqin's belly is getting bigger and bigger, and Li Zetian often accompanies her at home after work. Li Zetian's parents also learned that Dongfang Yuqin was pregnant at this time, and rushed to the United States from Hong Kong, Li Chengzhi stayed for four or five days and then returned to Hong Kong. Li Zetian's mother, Xiao Zhixuan, stayed at home to take care of Dongfang Yuqin.
On the afternoon of October 5, there was sudden bad news from the Chinese side that Deng Lao had passed away.
As soon as Li Zetian heard the news, his heart suddenly became heavy and he sighed.
A generation of great men has finally left everyone.
After a while, Li Zetian's mood recovered.
After all, Deng Lao was happier than in his previous life, and he stayed up for a few more years and saw the return of Hong Kong with his own eyes.
The death of Deng Lao is a top priority in China, and the whole country mourns.
Li Zetian's family flew to Beijing on the same day to mourn in person.
At this moment, there are many people who come to Beijing to mourn Deng Lao, and the roads in Beijing are congested for a while.
Deng Lao's life deeds were reported all over the TV, and singing sounded in the streets and alleys.
"1979
It was spring
There was an old man who drew a circle on the shore of the South China Sea
Fabulous rise of a city
Miraculously gathered a mountain of gold
……
……
1992 year
It's spring again
There was an old man who wrote a psalm on the shores of the South China Sea
There is a rolling spring tide between heaven and earth
Raise the mighty sails on the journey
The spring breeze blows green in the East China
The spring rain moistened the Chinese hometown
……
……
”
The song fluttered, and countless people wept when they heard it.
On the day of sending off Deng Lao, Tiananmen Square was crowded with people, crying and shaking the sky, and it was shocking!
A few days after Deng Lao left, Li Zetian's grandfather was old and overly sad, and suddenly became ill.
Li Zetian's mood became heavier and heavier, and he sent his grandfather to the United States for treatment that day.
Unfortunately, the old man did not hold on and died a week later.
Li Zetian's parents were heartbroken and cried in the hospital.
Li Zetian's mood is more stable than theirs, so he needs to deal with the old man's funeral.
China pays attention to the return of fallen leaves, and funerals are also held in the hometown.
Not many days later, Li Zetian and his entourage returned to China from the United States.
Li Zetian's grandfather's funeral was very grand, and there were many people who came to pay their respects, including various leaders, relatives and friends, and business partners in Hangzhou.
Li Zetian suddenly felt that life was too short at this time, life was so fragile and small, in the blink of an eye, people were gone.
Deng Lao is gone.
Grandpa is also gone.
And there was nothing he could do......
He also boasted that he wanted to use technology to save mankind, but he couldn't save anything after all.
Li Zetian was a little gloomy, he looked at his parents with haggard faces and gray hair, and his heart throbbed. He didn't think about it before, but now he suddenly found that his parents were also old......
Li Zetian's nose was sour and a little choked.
Three days later, my grandfather was buried in Nanshan Cemetery in Hangzhou.
After taking care of his grandfather's funeral, Li Zetian did not return to the United States immediately, but accompanied his parents to live in his hometown for a period of time.
A locust tree in the yard grows tall and large, with lush branches, like a giant green umbrella.
Li Chengzhi sat under this locust tree for a long time.
"Mom, Dad, is he okay? Sitting under the locust tree in a daze every day......," Li Zetian looked at Xiao Zhixuan and asked worriedly.
Xiao Zhixuan sighed slightly and said: "This locust tree was planted by your father with your grandfather when he was young, and now that your grandfather is gone, this big locust tree is his spiritual sustenance!"
When Li Zetian heard this, he was silent for a moment, and his eyes couldn't help but look at the big locust tree, as if he vaguely saw the shadow of his grandfather.
In December, Li Zetian and his entourage returned to the United States.
Many people are preparing for Christmas, but Li Zetian's family has diluted the atmosphere of Christmas because of his grandfather's funeral.
In the blink of an eye, 2001 has arrived.
Time really flies.
On January 8th, the Christmas holiday ended, and people began to enter the busy work again.
Dongfang Yuqin's belly is getting bigger and bigger, and it is estimated that she will give birth in less than two months, and the work at hand has been completely transferred to Selena and Vanessa.
Li Zetian now not only cares about Dongfang Yuqin's body, but also buys back shares of Internet companies.
On the morning of January 20, Selena counted a report and handed it to Li Zetian, which listed the repurchase data of Internet technology companies so far.
Li Zetian took a few minutes to read it, and he was very satisfied.
Since the beginning of last year, Li Zetian has begun to buy back shares, obviously, Microsoft, Amazon, TripAdvisor, Yahoo and other Internet technology companies 20% of the shares, but he secretly holds 35% to 45% of the shares of these companies, scattered in more than 100 accounts, it is difficult for people to find out how many shares Li Zetian holds in total.
At this time, Li Zetian put down the document and said: "Secretly, the next step is to repurchase shares in the name of major Internet technology companies to convey a signal to the outside world: It shows that we are optimistic about the development of the Internet! After more than two years of Internet winter, the stock market should have recovered !!."
"Yes!" Selena replied.
Li Zetian looked at Vanessa and said: "Inform Google that I want to build at least 10 large data centers in North America, Europe, Asia, and South America!! with an investment budget of as little as $1 billion and as much as $5 billion for each large data center!"
Vanessa was stunned when she heard this, obviously shocked by Li Zetian's words.
A smile tugged at the corner of Li Zetian's mouth. Yes, anyone who hears this will be stunned and stunned. However, Li Zetian has thought carefully about the advantages of establishing so many data centers, first, to improve Google's search speed and accuracy, and second, to provide big data and cloud services, such as cloud storage, Cloud computing, etc., in the future, Internet start-ups do not need to buy servers, just use Google's cloud services, individual users do not need U disks, and the same use of Google cloud storage services; Third, the development of artificial intelligence, artificial intelligence needs huge computing power and data support, and the data center is the brain of artificial intelligence.
The establishment of a data center requires a large number of servers and network equipment, which can drive the development of Internet-related industries, which is bound to pull up the stock price of Internet technology companies and detonate Internet concept stocks again!
Vanessa thought for a while, and slightly understood a little bit of Li Zetian's intentions.
"Okay, Mr. Li, I got it!"
"Hmm!"
Li Zetian suddenly thought of something again, and said, "Oh, by the way, arrange tomorrow's schedule, I'm going to Space-X." ”
"Yes!"
Selena and Vanessa then picked up the phone and began to make arrangements according to Li Zetian's instructions.
……
Google's CEO is Larry Page, a genius at Stanford University who was promoted by Lee, and his friend Sergey Brin has also become an important member of Google. Robin Li, who joined the company earlier than the two of them, was put into China by Li Zetian to develop and established a Baidu search engine company.
Li Zetian wants to develop Google into a high-tech company like in his previous life, so he doesn't dare to let Robin Li serve as the CEO of Google. In addition, Robin Li has always had plans to start his own business, so Li Zetian thought, "It's better to be blocked, since you want to start a business, well, I'll invest!"
When the Internet bubble burst, others were not optimistic about the Internet, but Robin Li was optimistic, and resolutely chose to return to China to start a business, Li Zetian invested 10 million US dollars in him and obtained 60% of the shares. Li Zetian also did this double insurance, investing in both Google and Baidu, in case Google can't get along in China for various reasons like in his previous life, isn't there still Baidu? We can't put our eggs in one basket, right?
China's Internet search market is highly competitive, and in addition to Google, there are multiple search engines such as 3721. Baidu's $10 million has not been burned at all, and it will not be long before it still needs financing.
Speaking of 3721, I have to mention that Google was originally dominant in the Chinese market, but it forced the 3721 search engine to break out of the encirclement.
The founder of 3721 is Zhou Hongyi, the former CEO of Yahoo 360, who not only broke out the "3B war" with Robin Li's Baidu, but also ignited the "3Q war" with Tencent.
The reason why 3721 was able to rise rapidly is a secret magic weapon and a hooligan!
Zhou Hongyi has the nickname of "the father of rogue software", Chinese netizens have suffered greatly, and there are always frequent 3721 installation prompts on the Internet, in addition to the traditional installation through browser implantation, direct download and installation, but also developed the way to install in some shareware and freeware bundled. Later, a new bundle installation method appeared, and although there are installation options, it is very likely that users who are used to installing software in the "all the way enter" method will be easily installed into the system.
Its "one-to-three" installation method is even more unbearable!
If the Internet assistant is installed, it is not the Internet assistant program that is actually implanted in the system at the same time, but the two independent programs of "address bar search" and "search assistant" are silently implanted at the same time. When you uninstall Internet Assistant, the two additional programs will not be uninstalled, and when you uninstall each set of programs, the option to keep the other module is added to the uninstall dialog to achieve self-repair in the case of unintentional uninstallation.
In short, you have been harassing you if you have not installed 3721, and don't think about uninstalling it cleanly if you install 3721!
Li Zetian has so many things to deal with every day, and he pays attention to big things. He is like an ancient emperor, what the courtiers hand over, Li Zetian will look at anything, how can he notice such a small company as 3721? Subsequently, Li Zetian could only let people develop anti-virus software and target 3721 small advertisements.
PS: It's a bit busy these days, can I break out for everyone in a few days?
