Chapter 613 - The Repetition of Only Five Computers on Earth
Gu Biao took Wang's father and son into the car, and without saying a word, waved his hand to direct the convoy to return.
A gallop galloped out of the Beijing Airport and went straight to the west of the city.
Wang An originally wanted to ask about the itinerary and accommodation arrangements, but because of the different cars, he gave up.
Everyone is a leading person, and if you ask too much about the reception arrangement, it will be stingy.
It's better to take it easy.
So just over half an hour later, the convoy arrived at Yuyuantan in the west of the city.
Wang An pretended to get out of the car calmly, looking at the surroundings with a little curiosity in his heart, feeling a little surprised and dissatisfied.
"It's a quiet place, but the building looks a little old, not like a high-end hotel. I heard that the most upscale places in the capital are not all places like the Friendship Hotel and the China International Hotel?" Wang An secretly wondered in his heart.
He is already an American citizen, and he went to the United States to study and start a business in the last years of the Republic of China, and he has not returned to the mainland for 40 years, so he naturally has no understanding of the capital.
He didn't bother to think about it, and asked Gu Biao directly: "Where are we staying here?"
"Diaoyutai State Guesthouse. Gu Qiyun replied lightly.
Rao is Wang An had already thought that he would be courteous, but he was still slightly surprised.
"Diaoyutai State Guesthouse, I'm just an American capitalist who attends industry cooperation seminars in a private capacity, and it seems ...... to live here," Wang An said politely.
Gu Biao immediately waved his hand, signaling that the other party didn't have to admit it: "It's okay, for the sake of convenient communication-it was okay to arrange for you to go to the Friendship Hotel." Isn't this my house next door--well, in the red wall opposite this forest, there is a garden with a rockery building, which is a humble house. ”
Wang An was being led upstairs to the Fangfei Garden of the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse at this time, and looked into the distance in the direction of Gu Biao's finger, just in time to see the Gu family's house. After carefully figuring out the scale, I was even more shocked.
"It turned out that Gu Biao invited us to stay at the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse, not because he had to be courteous to us, but just for his own convenience in talking about things.
Look at his garden, I am afraid that there are not two hundred meters deep in the east and west, and more than 100 meters in the north and south, although it has been cut by the Yongding Canal, there are also twenty or thirty acres of land. This Shoushan District and the side of the State Guesthouse can actually allocate twenty or thirty acres of green space to him to set up a private garden, and the energy is really unfathomable......"
Wang An didn't know that Gu Biao's treatment was just because he happened to follow Kissinger to complete his doctorate and return to China at the beginning of 84. And the country happened to catch up with the first batch of international students who stayed overseas and did not return, so they had to use Gu Biao, a positive example, to lure international students back to reimburse the country, which was a coincidence.
If it were a different situation, even if Gu Biao had money, he would not be able to do it.
But in any case, because of the information asymmetry, Gu Biao successfully gave the Wang family father and son a faint dismount and showed their muscles.
With Wang An's experience, he was still slightly surprised, and his dog Wang Lie was even more suppressed.
"Sure enough, the young generation of technology industry bosses take Gu Biao as the first in the world. Although Tiankun Group has not been listed so far, the industry's valuation of it is less than half of our Wang An Computer, barely more than one-third.
But Gu Biao has only been in business for six years to have such a self-made achievement, but his father has spent 30 years...... As for me, I am only under the auspices of my father's accomplishments, alas. ”
The kings were already a little timid before they fought.
Gu Biao had an expression of "I'm sorry I scared you, I didn't mean to", and pretended to turn around just now:
"Eh, my family lives here, it's just a coincidence, and the local government also takes into account the convenience of my return to my alma mater, and there is nothing else - the park at the corner of the street diagonally is my alma mater, the Foreign Affairs College. The State Guesthouse and the Foreign Affairs University are all subordinate to the ministry, and there are many executives in the circle who live in this area, but the greenery here is good, and you can't see it. ”
However, this kind of seemingly low-key and self-humble words actually have the same effect as no self-humility, and the more it is depicted, the darker it becomes.
You're a 24-year-old businessman, are you worthy?
Fortunately, the Wang family father and son did not plan to delve into this issue further.
Gu Biao continued to explain the itinerary: "Then you can rest well today, I won't bother you." Tomorrow, the relevant departments will arrange for Mr. Wang to go to the RM Assembly Hall with Mr. Zhang Zhongmou and Mr. Zhang Zhongmou. The day after tomorrow, it will be a symposium of the Academy of Sciences, the Academy of Engineering, and the Committee. ”
Wang An listened to it and felt slightly uncomfortable: "After going to the seminar, there is not even a conclusion, what is there to report? Can I bring it tomorrow...... Consultants?"
Gu Biao said bluntly: "Of course it can't, tomorrow is just to encourage my generation." ”
In other words, on an occasion like tomorrow, Wang An is not qualified to let his son go with him.
Everyone understands people, and they understand it in one sentence.
The reason why Gu Biao suggested such an arrangement was also because he was afraid that he and Wang An would have any arguments about the strategic development trend of the industry at the seminar, and their opinions would be different, which would affect the encouragement link. It's better to encourage you first, and then talk about things that may hurt your feelings.
……
30 hours passed in a flash, and in a blink of an eye, it was more than 7 o'clock in the evening of the next day, and the news was broadcast continuously.
The photos on "Renren Daily" will have to wait one more day to come out, after all, it takes time for people to typeset, print and distribute, unlike CCTV, which can be directly put on the top after the program is produced.
“…… He met with Dr. Wang An, Chairman and President of Wang An Computer Co., Ltd., Mr. Zhang Zhongmou, Chairman of Xiangjiang Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd., and Mr. Gu Biao, a major shareholder. Only...... Kind and friendly exchange of views......"
The 15-second text message before and after, with narration and narration, but no simultaneous voice of the parties.
I won't go into detail about how each person shows his face and moves the mirror.
Wang Lie was waiting in the rest area of the synagogue at the time, so he did not see his father when he entered, and he also saw the scene in the guest room of the state guesthouse and on TV at this moment.
There was nothing to say for another night, and early the next morning, it was finally time to go to the Science and Technology Commission to attend the symposium, and those leading academicians in related fields from the two academies would also be present.
After the opening up of the country, until 98, there was no science and technology BU for 20 years, which was called the Science and Technology Commission.
The forum, which will last several days, will cover all the directions of the two major fields of computer and communication technology in the 863 Plan.
Gu Biao packed up early in the morning, walked from his house to the State Guesthouse next door, invited the Wang family and his son, and then arranged a convoy to go straight to the Science and Technology Commission.
Wang An was able to be received by the chief, and it was not for nothing. We must definitely go to the committee to confide in some dry goods and help the Chinese provide some strategic advice in the field of computer development, as a reciprocat, and we must not talk nonsense.
Some people may think: With Wang An's net worth, such a detached posture, even the president of the United States has seen it, so he shouldn't care too much about these false names outside his body, right?
Those who hold this view can only say that their views are correct in normal times, but they are wrong in the critical period of 86~88.
Before suffering from cancer, Wang An was more obsessed with technology and business, and didn't care much about fame.
But later, in his last years, he was like two people, not only liked to be received by high-level officials from various countries, but also began to seek to enter various halls of fame and receive various American medals.
It's not that Wang An became too fast, but he had to build prestige, build family worship of the Wang family throughout the company, and pave the way for his son.
And how difficult is it to establish a cross-generational family cult in a large company with an American atmosphere? Americans have fundamentally believed that princely generals have a kind of thing, rather than working for hereditary life. What's more, Wang An still runs the most avant-garde technology company.
So he himself can not be vulgar, but for the sake of his son, the last three years of his life will also be vulgar.
The convoy soon arrived at the office building of the Science and Technology Commission, and Gu Biao led people up to introduce Wang An to the experts of the two academies in the field of computer systems and communication engineering in China, and a greeting was inevitable.
The meeting was presided over by a deputy director of the committee, and it was inevitable for the leader to give a speech and encouragement, and then began to discuss the agenda in groups.
Giant machines and mainframe machines, Gu Biao is not familiar with them, and Wang An is not familiar with them, so naturally there is no need to participate in those groups.
There is a specialization in the art industry, and when the symposium reaches this level, it is all very finely divided, and it will not be talked about in generalities.
Therefore, the Wang family father and son and Gu Biao all coincidentally participated in the operating system strategy development meeting in the field of servers, minicomputers and personal computers.
After the relevant person in charge of the Chinese Academy of Sciences spoke, he gave Wang An the opportunity to speak, and asked Wang An to introduce the development trend of relevant industries in the United States.
Gu Biao didn't interject, just listened quietly.
Wang An spent nearly half an hour explaining the current situation and development trend of the industry in the United States, and then a staff member of the committee asked a question.
"Mr. Wang, what is your prediction on the prospects of the 'Open PC Development Plan' launched by IBM in the United States since last year in contact with Intel?
According to our understanding, IBM and Intel, since September last year, have had a large share price climb, and the confidence of industry capital in them is significantly related to the progress of the implementation of this plan.
Last month, we noticed that one of IBM's systems and driver software subcontractors, Microsoft Corp., was listed on the Nasdaq because it joined the program and played a major role, and its stock price also quadrupled in a matter of days.
Do you think IBM's new open model will be the development trend of server, minicomputer and personal computer systems in the future?"
This kind of question is obviously asked by scientists from the two academies. However, it is very much in line with the perspective of the executives, who are concerned about the trend of market demand for technology.
After Wang An heard the question, he also took it for a few seconds, so as not to make the answer too cheap or appear to be too tendentious.
"I don't think it's wrong to go in IBM's direction, but with today's comprehensive hardware performance, it is impossible for this thing to reach the level of smooth and stable use for users in five years. As for 10 years, I can't predict.
How many hidden dangers in terms of software and driver compatibility will be brought about by a comprehensive open attitude towards application software interfaces and hardware collocation? How to control software quality? I doubt how many users will like such computers.
At least with our Wang An computer's business experience and the market research feedback we have received over the years, those business elites and high-level white-collar workers will not like to sacrifice office stability in exchange for the progress promised by IBM - and these people are the backbone of current personal computer users. I don't want to brag about it, but at present, two-thirds of the business elites and high-level white-collar workers in the United States use Wang An's computers in their offices. ”
