In 1953, China began to formulate a five-year plan modeled on the Soviet model, with a two-year pause between 1963 and 1965, and the Third Five-Year Plan in 1966 began to get on the right track.

The year 1995 was not only the final year of the Eighth Five-Year Plan, but also the year in which the Ninth Five-Year Plan was formulated, and it was at the juncture of carrying forward the past and opening up the future; therefore, in November, all major departments gathered the elite personnel of their own industries to make final arguments and supplements to the draft of the next Five-Year Plan, and then submitted it to the central authorities for deliberation before the end of the year.

In addition to government officials, there were also authoritative academic experts, CEOs of large state-owned enterprises and bosses of well-known private enterprises, including Haier Zhang, Lenovo Liu, Huawei Ren and other business leaders who were thunderous before the crossing, in the eyes of the party, the importance of these people is far greater than that of the director of CCTV's advertising department, after all, on the one hand, it is a real profit, and on the other hand, it is a false name.

Snapdragon is still only a pure software company, and has almost no intersection with the electronics industry, as soon as Du Qiu returned to China, he was invited to participate in such a high-level meeting, which can only be said to be a stormy meeting, just in time for the opportunity.

Behind the formulation of each five-year plan, there is no smoke but absolutely tragic tearing between vested interest groups and emerging interest groups, this tearing in addition to the competition within the industry, but also must compete with other departments, after all, China's economic strength in the 90s is still very weak, the annual budget is very tight, more monks porridge less, no robbery, and the main opponent of the Ministry of Electronics Industry, is the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications on the cusp of 1995, the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications happens to be closely related to Snapdragon's business.

In the era of planned economy, not only many enterprises in the business ideas to engage in the high-minded, eager to the staff of food, clothing, housing and transportation, birth, old age, sickness and death all covered, many departments also have the same mind, from raw materials to production, from research and development to sales one-stop, the most typical representative of which is the Ministry of Railways, in addition to building trains, repairing trains, driving trains, and even has an independent police and court system.

Although the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications is not as exaggerated as the Ministry of Railways, it also has a set of its own system, including the research and development and manufacturing of telecommunications equipment, according to the division of the modern industrial system, this part should belong to the Ministry of Electronics Industry, but the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications not only did not transfer it, but everywhere created obstacles, suppressed and even refused to purchase telecommunications equipment produced by enterprises under the Ministry of Electronics Industry.

In the 90s, the domestic telecommunications industry grew very fast, telephone lines soared from less than 10 million in 1990 to more than 80 million in 1995, such a huge market made the Ministry of Electronics Industry very hot, but there is nothing to do, because this department is very young, and ill-fated, it was established in 1983, merged with the Ministry of Machinery in 1988, and became independent again in 1993, repeatedly tossed, the foundation is too shallow, there is no right to speak, the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications is not, it is an old department established in 1949, with millions of employees and tens of billions of revenue, both of which are not at the same level in volume and energy.

Therefore, after the Ministry of Electronics Industry regained independence in March 1993, in order to deal with the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications, Minister Hu decided to start anew and adopt a strategy of combining vertical and horizontal, saying that the Ministry of Railways, the Ministry of Electric Power and many other departments jointly set up a new telecommunications company, named "China Unicom", and China Telecom, a subsidiary of the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications.

Although China Unicom has obtained the qualification to engage in telecommunications business, under the strong opposition of the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications, it has not been able to get a penny of financial allocation, and the management has no choice but to take out the eight immortals to cross the sea and show their magical means to raise funds everywhere, which can almost be described as thirsty for money.

In May, Du Qiu invited Yinghaiwei and China Network and other Internet business companies to dinner at the Beijing Hotel, and talked about a "Chinese and foreign" financing model to join Unicom, stimulating China Telecom's plan to reduce Internet fees, this "Chinese and foreign" financing model, in October Canada Bell Company and Qilu Province Yancheng Unicom signed a contract, officially recognized by the national high-level, Du Qiu has become a high-quality cooperation object worth winning in the eyes of China Unicom.

In addition to this origin, during the Internet conference in August, Du Qiu expressed his willingness to develop switches, servers and high-end computers and other products suitable for the Internet field in joint ventures or cooperation with Huawei, Inspur, Founder and other companies, and actively made a lot of preparations for this afterwards, so when he appeared at the seminar of the Ministry of Electronics Industry, not only no one questioned it, but it was very popular, after all, Snapdragon has just raised $1 billion, and no one wants to miss the opportunity to get a piece of the pie.

The seminar started at 2:30 and lasted until 5 o'clock, according to the schedule, there was a high-grade banquet in the evening, Du Qiu was very bad at drinking and socializing, and he avoided it after crossing, and refused directly if he couldn't avoid it, so he had a bad reputation in the official business circles of Cloud City, and many people felt that he was arrogant and unkind.

However, Du Qiu was ready to attend the dinner on this day, not because Minister Hu had a big face, but because it was very interesting to socialize with those business celebrities who were more than 20 years younger from the perspective of God, but unfortunately, as soon as the meeting ended, an unexpected phone call dispelled his bad taste.

The call was transferred by the secretary to Minister Hu, and then by Minister Hu to Du Qiu, after Du Qiu answered, he immediately said goodbye: "Minister Hu, I want to go back to the hotel first and make some preparations for tomorrow, so I won't attend the dinner." ”

"Okay, it's important to get down to business, I'll let the driver send you. By the way, we have a workshop the next afternoon, so don't forget to make some preparations. ”

"I will. ”

When Du Qiu left the Ministry of Electronics Industry in Minister Hu's Audi with a special license plate, he took out his mobile phone from his pocket that had been on mute, and originally wanted to call Liu Yunlai, but after thinking about it, he called Du Chunhua instead, and asked, "Sister, where is it?"

"At the Great Wall Hotel, Sister Sun helped me make an appointment with some reporters from newspapers and TV stations to have dinner and promote the company's product launch tomorrow. Are you done with the meeting?"

"It's over. ”

"Danfeng went to the class reunion, not in the hotel, if you're okay, come and help me support the scene." ”

"Sister, you are a strong woman who has participated in the World Conference on Women and taken photos with national leaders, so why do you use me to support the scene. ”

At the beginning of September 1995, the Fourth World Conference on Women was held in Beijing, which is the United Nations conference with the largest number of participants so far, and it is also the largest international conference hosted by China after the founding of the People's Republic of China.

"Little brother, have you been abroad for a long time, and your skin is itchy again? ”

"Sister, you misunderstood, I'm not ridiculing you, but asking you about serious things. Du Qiu coughed lightly, restrained the urge to argue with his own mother, and asked, "What did you say when you took photos with those people at that time?"

"I didn't say anything, just some polite words, such as I'm glad to participate in this conference, and I'm delaying your time. ”

"They didn't ask you for any comments or suggestions?"

"No, even if I asked, I wouldn't say it, how can I take the scene seriously. Du Chunhua seemed to sense that Du Qiu had something on his mind, and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

"I'm going to an important meeting tomorrow with big names in attendance, and I'm a little nervous about getting some experience from you, but I didn't expect you to know anything. Du Qiu snorted and said, "Sister, you're busy with yours, I'll call and ask Brother Liu, he should be more experienced." ”

"Okay. ”

After Du Chunhua hung up, Du Qiu dialed Liu Yunlai's phone again and asked, "Brother Liu, how are you talking with CCTV?"

Director Tan said that there is nothing wrong with the advertising creativity, and it should be able to be broadcast, but there are a few lines that it is best to modify, such as changing the cause of trouble to the like. ”

Du Qiu's plagiarized advertisement comes from Apple's classic "Think-Different" in 1997, but Apple's purpose in making this advertisement is to reshape the image of fashion-forward companies, Du Qiu's purpose is to establish a meritocracy corporate culture for Snapdragon, so as to compete for talents with multinational high-tech companies such as Microsoft and IBM, so he changed many characters in the original commercial, such as boxing champion Ali, Bob Dylan and other iconic figures in American pop culture, which he changed to Alan Turing, von Neumann and other pioneers in the history of computer science.

Even the characters have changed a lot, and it is naturally okay to change a few lines, Du Qiu didn't care about this, and said: "Then change it to a similar idiom, as long as it doesn't destroy the idea of the entire advertisement." Where are you now?"

"Zhou Yuan and I are going to have a meal with Mr. Xu of the advertising agency to discuss the strategy of bidding tomorrow morning. ”

"Leave the matter of advertising bidding to Zhou Yuan, you come to the hotel where I live now, and we will have a conference call with Yang Fan. Du Qiu looked up at the driver in front of him who was concentrating on driving, and said vaguely: "I just received a notice from the top that I will go to give a lecture at half past nine tomorrow morning." ”

"Tomorrow morning?" Liu Yunlai was surprised, took a breath obviously, and then said in a deep voice: "I'll go over immediately." ”

After hanging up the phone, Du Qiu sat on the comfortable car seat, in the quiet enclosed space, looking sideways at the window at night, the lights are lit, pedestrians are weaving, and the bustling street scene is full of various postures, and he feels that he is in two different worlds from the outside, and there is a sense of superiority in his heart that all beings are ants and everything is under control, this sense of superiority is not false, because his words and deeds now can really change the fate of many people.

If the 3C standardization conference in September represents Du Qiu's influence to change the world's Internet pattern, then tomorrow's lecture will represent Du Qiu's influence on changing domestic Internet policies, whether it is to change the world or change China, it involves the lives of tens of millions of people and hundreds of billions of wealth.

If it is a native of this time and space, it is very likely that he will be addicted to this kind of fame and power, and he will not be able to extricate himself from the sense of superiority of the famous minister, and inadvertently make wrong judgments and choices, but fortunately, Du Qiu is a time-traveling party, so he quickly broke free from the illusory sense of superiority and thought about the content of tomorrow's lecture with an extremely cautious attitude.

Be careful!

Du Qiu is not worried about the consequences of changing the world's Internet pattern, because whether it is extinguishing Netscape or killing Google, the technical route will still continue, and the business model will still be effective, but it will be realized by changing companies, but the consequences of changing the domestic Internet policy cannot but be worried, because this thing is as mysterious as Schrödinger's cat, good or bad are unpredictable, and if you are not careful, you will turn the future as transparent as a spring in the eyes of the party into a foggy abyss.
