Maybe it's because the knot has been opened, and they no longer pretend to each other. Throughout the Christmas and New Year's Day holidays, Gu Biao changed his previous indifference, and invited Ye Kun to hang out with him very gentlemanly, and Qiu reheated the old friendship without any offense.

Of course, there is no such thing as a pure friend, which is too pure to be pure - there have always been doubts that there can be no pure friends between men and women, and this is actually wrong. Those who have been married for ten or eight years are so pure that they can't be more pure, and they can't even bother to sleep in a bed.

Although the internal causes of Gu Ao's situation are different, the external performance is the same.

The pleasant holiday soon ended, the pages of history turned to 1984, and Gu Biao also rejoined the frenzy of social activities before graduation.

Kissinger's retirement farewell party on January 15 is just around the corner.

In the past holiday, Gu Ao's other businesses have also progressed steadily, and the shipment and payment progress of the Vancouver property market has reached 80%, which means that 800 million US dollars of funds have been returned to Gu Ao.

Only the quality of the game console business has always kept Gu Biao concerned, and he can always see the moves.

Nintendo's Yamauchi Pu because the FC game console has just been put on the market, and there are no quality problems, so he can stand on the moral high ground of complete innocence and wantonly sprinkle public opinion - even if the quality of the FC game console is not good, as long as the design is okay, just two or three months after it is sold, it will not fail in large numbers.

The problem that the floppy drive machine is easy to cause cassette failure is not something that Gu Biao can solve immediately by meeting with Akio Morita and making a strategy, and he has to leave time for the R&D department to improve the design, so he can only continue to endure blood loss for the time being.

From mid-December to mid-January, in this month, due to the damage and repair of game floppy disks and other hardware during the warranty period, the cumulative loss was more than 200,000 US dollars, and the total amount has exceeded 1 million US dollars.

However, there is good news, after a month of reverse research on the faulty model, the joint research and development of the technical team of Tiankun and Sony, the new generation of power supply of the Tiankun PLAY-BOX game console has finally been revised (that is, the plug of the big drum of the game console in the 80s), and the power supply voltage and other quality indicators are more stable by an order of magnitude.

The new version of the power supply has been put into the production line, and all new machines on the market after February will be replaced with the new power supply.

As for the hundreds of thousands of machines in the previous inventory, Gu Biao also waved his pen very boldly, and replaced all the power supplies with new versions before leaving the factory, which was very conscientious.

As for the old version, the cost of hundreds of thousands of power supply inventory materials is also more than one million US dollars, and Gu Biao is certainly impossible to throw away.

However, he will keep this batch of things as a repair material, and in the future, if he encounters consumer game consoles that are about to expire the warranty period, he will exchange them with this inferior old version.

In this way, even if it is broken after a short period of use, it can't be complained about Tiankun, which is about to be overwarranted.

And this kind of thing can't be detected with the transparency of information in the 80s, and it won't damage goodwill.

Gu Wei's life principle has always been "bad things that can be proved by no evidence, that is, no bad things have been done".

In addition to the new version of the power supply, the floppy drive, which was directly provided by Sony, has also been updated with a version. The floppy disk production technology used has also been slightly iterated according to market experience, and these will be put on the market at a later time, such as in the second quarter of '84.

And Gu Biao's suggestion to improve the quality system, which was rejected because of Akio Morita's cunning and cunning, is about to change the balance after Gu Biao pulls a new assist teammate.

……

On January 15, as scheduled, large banners were hung at the main entrance of Georgetown University, and a huge national flag was raised.

Today is the day of the alumni reunion held to celebrate the retirement of Professor Kissinger.

Early in the morning, there is a lot of traffic at the school gate, and the proportion of luxury cars is very high.

The frequency of Cadillac Braham's appearance simply amazed the students.

Waltz Diplomatic College has been temporarily arranged inside and out. After all, what they want to send off today is the most legendary former secretary of state in the past decade.

And the former secretary of state's closed disciple is also a billionaire (Billion-Dollar) and a well-known rookie hero in Silicon Valley. Those alumni who have become famous are usually embarrassed to pull down their faces and take the initiative to make friends, but now that they have the opportunity to be justified, how can they not seize it.

Those who can climb up are human spirits.

In addition to alumni, there are also other people from outside the university who have taken the invitation letter as "old friends of Professor Kissinger" to join in the fun.

Most of these are business celebrities, such as Akio Morita, who got 5 invitations to the ceremony from Gu Biao, and invited several Sony executives and dignitaries, such as Norio Ohga and Nobuyuki Idei, to cast a net together.

Other people from investment banks and Wall Street are densely packed and will not be repeated one by one.

At 9:30 a.m., the first session of the alumni association began in the college auditorium.

Professor Kissinger delivered his retirement speech and thanked the alumni who attended the meeting. As a former secretary of state, Kissinger's eloquence is naturally very good, and this kind of impromptu speech does not need Gu Biao to help him prepare a draft in advance, and he comes completely whenever he wants to open his mouth.

All the guests sat down in order according to their ranks, and each person placed a name tag in an orderly manner.

Gu Biao accompanied his old friend Akio Morita and also sat in the first row, which was enough to give Akio Morita face.

After the speech, before the official luncheon, there was a period of free exchange, and many people gathered around Kissinger to greet and exchange views.

Gu Biao first saw one of the justices of the Supreme F Court of the United States, Anthony Scalia, talking and laughing with Professor Kissinger.

In the U.S. judicial system, the Supreme Court of the United States has 9 justices, including 1 chief justice and the remaining 8 ordinary justices, all of whom are for life. However, when it comes to making decisions, everyone has the same weight of votes, regardless of whether you are the chief or not.

This Scalia was mixed with sand because a few years ago, a justice of the Supreme F Court of the Federation died of old age and was nominated by President Li Gen to mix sand. So of course, he is the one who supplies the nuclear file, and it is normal for him to talk to Kissinger.

In terms of the rigor of the three-Q division in the United States, the justices of the Supreme F Court of the United States are the leaders of the national level, so it is not surprising that Justice Scalia can occupy the highest priority opportunity to talk and laugh.

Other ministers and governors have to lean back.

This cannot be speculated on by Chinese traditions, after all, the level of personnel in China's judicial system is not that valuable.

Oh, and a digression. Originally, today there is an old Chinese alumnus of Wales Foreign Service College who also studies international relations surnamed Song, and wants to make some awesome seniors with some popularity.

It's a pity that Song is from Wanwan, in today's occasion where a mainlander like Gu Biao sings the leading role, of course Song hit a soft nail, and was rejected by the school when he applied and did not allow him to come.

Below Justice Scalia, there are also a bunch of ministerial-level faction bigwigs, lined up there to exchange opinions and pull favors.

However, in contrast to the lively scene over there, there is also another group of high-ranking and powerful celebrities from all walks of life in the United States, who only respect their predecessors very much in terms of etiquette today, and first shook hands with the professor, but after shaking hands, they actually formed a small circle of their own and did not have in-depth contacts with Kissinger.

These people, naturally, are from the people's pig stalls.

The two factions are different, and if you are really too affectionate, it is easy to leave a handle in the file.

However, the Waltz School of Diplomacy in Georgetown has never lacked professors of any school. Therefore, those alumni of the Minzhu stall can also find professors of their own faction who are compatible with each other.

The most enthusiastic person in the room was Professor Brzezinski, who thought that he was also Carter's national security adviser, and that if the Iranian hostage crisis had been handled properly by his own and secret diplomacy, he would have been qualified to be secretary of state.

However, the handling of the Iranian hostage crisis was too bad, which directly led to Carter's failure in re-election, so other people in the Minzhu stall currently feel that Brzezinski has not succeeded enough and has more than failed, and many of them avoid him and refuse to have public relations with him.

As a result, Ms. Obright, a former student of Brzezinski and an assistant professor when Gu Biao entered the school three years ago, has become a hot figure among today's professors of international relations, and she is surrounded by famous alumni from all walks of life.

Speaking of which, this Ms. Obright and Gu Biao have also taken a photo in the same frame -- three years ago, at President Regan's inauguration, when he spoke on the North Lawn of the White House, Obright was as Brzezinski's teaching assistant, and Gu Le was a student of Kissinger, listening to the lecture at the same table.

The photograph was captured, sent to China, and made the front page of a newspaper.

Three years have passed, and Obright has been quickly promoted to "associate professor" and now has just become a full-time professor, and he finally has more confidence to make friends.

Gu Biao took Akio Morita and pretended to wander around casually in the crowd, but in fact he was secretly looking for his communication target.

Then Gu Biao suddenly found that the person he was looking for was being stammered by Professor Obright with a smile on his face.

This Professor Obright, who is 45 years old, is still talking to a governor who is just in his early 35s, which is really a hot and cold world.

As long as your official position is high enough, no matter how young you are, there will be people who stutter.

And the young governor in his early 35s is undoubtedly the senior of the 68th class and the young and promising Governor of Alberta among the alumni of today's Minzhu stall.

Gu Biao knew that Obright relied on this alumni meeting to get to Mr. Governor, and then 12 years later, he relied on the other party's support to become the secretary of state.

If Obright had known the historical value of today's intimate conversation, he would have lamented "the importance of hugging his thighs."

Gu Biao could only take Akio Morita to hang around for a while, so as not to disturb their PY transaction.
