At five o'clock, it was the rush hour of getting off work in Beijing, and the road conditions were congested, Liu Yunlai took more than an hour to arrive at the hotel, and as soon as he entered the door, he asked urgently: "Mr. Du, what did the notice say?"

Du Qiu was quite calm, pointed to the dinner delivered by the hotel waiter on the living room table, and greeted: "Eat first, and then talk after eating." ”

Liu Yunlai was in a high mood, both excited and anxious, threw the briefcase on the sofa, sat down at the dining table, and didn't even pick up the chopsticks, so he asked: "How to arrange it tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow morning at 8:30 a.m., someone will be sent to pick me up at the hotel. Du Qiu had an afternoon meeting, he was already hungry, and said while eating: "The content of the lecture is related to the Internet, but there is no topic, I have 20 minutes, I can talk about anything I want." ”

"Huh?

"When I received the notice in the afternoon, it was similar to your reaction now. Du Qiu was amused by his stunned expression and said: "The Internet is too broad, involving the interests of all aspects and the development of all walks of life, just like the air is ubiquitous but nowhere to be found, so when there is a conference call, you and Yang Fan want to help me sort out a key point, and I will explain around this key point." ”

"I always thought that the above would let you talk about the application of the Internet in business and economics, but I didn't expect it to give you free rein and that really needs to be focused. Liu Yunlai didn't have the heart to eat, touched his chin with his hand, and after thinking for a while, he asked, "Who else will talk about tomorrow?"

"I have inquired with Secretary Li of the General Office, and tomorrow there will be a total of four people to speak, in addition to me, there are also Professor Li of the Institute of Computing of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Professor Deng of the Beijing Institute of Posts and Telecommunications, and Wei Zhiming, a senior reporter of the Xinhua News Agency in the United States. ”

"Wei Zhiming, I know this person, he specializes in covering science and technology news, he just returned from the United States last month, and now he works for the Ministry of Radio, Film and Television. Liu Yunlai's eyes lit up, and he analyzed in a rather affirmative tone: "The Institute of Computing of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has a close relationship with the Ministry of Electronics Industry, and the Institute of Posts and Telecommunications is a university directly under the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications. ”

Triple play?

The "Telecommunications Act of 1996" in the United States has not yet been promulgated, and unless there is also a crossing party at the top, it will definitely not think of engaging in triple play integration in China in 1995......

Du Qiu saw that Liu Yun looked like he was holding a wisdom pearl, and Buddha Zhuge Liang was as determined as he saw through Sima Yi's strategy, and asked with interest: "How did you think of the integration of three networks?"

"Actually, when you were invited to a meeting by the Ministry of Electronics Industry in the afternoon, I had this premonition. Liu Yunlai picked up his briefcase from the sofa, took out a publication with the word internal reference printed on the cover, and said: "In October, I wrote a manuscript based on some of Mr. Du's remarks and what I saw in Snapdragon some time ago, and sent it to the internal reference...... Now, this is it. ”

Du Qiu put down his chopsticks, took a look, and almost squirted out the rice in his mouth, because the title of that article is very characteristic of the mainstream media of the times, but it is not the characteristics of 1995, but the characteristics of 2015 - "Top-level design, corner overtaking, triple network integration, benefiting the country and the people".

I'll go!

Isn't this the concept I came up with in the company's boring fashion?

Du Qiu picked up the water cup on the dining table, drank two sips of water in a row before suppressing the absurdity and surprise in his heart, and said, "Brother Liu, these are all my nonsense, you actually wrote it as an internal reference?"

"I see that when you are doing research and development on Snapdragon, you are all going up and down, designing various functions and modules, and then letting Qin Mu implement them step by step, with high efficiency and few bugs, and in a short period of time, they have caught up with or even surpassed foreign advanced products. Liu Yunlai didn't think it was nonsense, and said: "These practices of yours are similar to the formulation of various policies by the state, and I think it is very valuable for reference, so I wrote this article, and I also sent you an email before publication, and you said that there is no problem." ”

Du Qiu did receive an email from Liu Yunlai in Silicon Valley, but the article in the attachment was not this title at that time, and after reading the beginning, he found that it was political content, which had nothing to do with the company's business, so he didn't continue to read it, and directly gave a reply in agreement, but he didn't expect it to have such a big impact.

The concept of top-level design and corner overtaking is very in line with the traditional thinking of China's planned economy and the urgent desire to catch up with the developed countries in the West, so it is difficult for this internal reference to be taken seriously, Du Qiu read it at a glance and ten lines, and found that there were several heavyweight leaders' handwritten instructions printed on the back, I don't know what to say, I can only sigh with emotion: "Brother Liu, you are really not a hit, a blockbuster, a big news!"

"This article should actually belong to Mr. Du, I am just ghostwriting. ”

"Brother Liu is modest, I'm talking nonsense, what I said is nonsense, your writing is rigorous and transparent, it can be called turning decay into magic, how can it be the same. Du Qiu gently put the publication on the dining table and said with a smile: "I originally thought that the lecture was invited to give me because of Snapdragon's successful financing in the United States, but now it seems that it is actually because of your article, right?"

Liu Yunlai is usually moody, but at this time, he couldn't hide his smugness, laughed, and said, "Maybe." ”

Du Qiu had no intention of engaging in politics, and did not take the various political concepts that were popular before the crossing to heart, so he picked up the chopsticks again and continued to eat, saying: "Although the integration of the three networks is good, there are too many interest groups involved, and it is impossible to achieve it in a short period of time, so we can't focus on this tomorrow." ”

"Not necessarily, the top of the world takes this very seriously. Liu Yunlai still insisted on his own opinion, lowered his voice and said: "Mr. Du, do you know why Minister Hu of the Ministry of Electronics Industry invited you to a meeting as soon as you returned to China? Because in order to promote the integration of the three networks, the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications and the Ministry of Electronics Industry are ready to merge. ”

"What does the merger of these two departments have to do with me?"

"The merger of the two departments requires the approval of the National People's Congress, and the next session of the National People's Congress will not be held until 1998. Liu Yunlai is very familiar with the domestic system, explained: "After the merger of the two departments, only one person can be left as the minister, now the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications is strong, the Ministry of Electronics Industry is weak, if Minister Hu can not make a difference in the next two years, then he will definitely retire to let Xian, please go to the meeting, you must want to gamble, to see if you can use the top-level design method, to make a little corner overtaking achievements." ”

I see......

As a crossing party, Du Qiu not only knew that the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications and the Ministry of Electronics Industry would merge to form the Ministry of Information Industry in 1998, but also knew that Minister Wu of the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications would serve as the leader of the new department.

Liu Yunlai was stunned, and then immediately shook his head and said: "The Ministry of Radio, Film and Television belongs to the propaganda system, and the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications and the Ministry of Electronics Industry belong to the industrial system, and it is impossible to merge them together. ”

"The integration of the three networks needs both technical support and political support, the technology is easy to solve, the politics is difficult to solve, the Ministry of Radio, Film and Television is very weak in technology, but it is very strong in politics, in order to safeguard its own interests, it will definitely oppose the integration of the three networks, so we don't waste time on this. ”

It's a fact......

Triple play refers to the integration of telephone network, Internet and television network, these three networks are transmitted through optical fiber, if they can be interconnected, resource sharing, not only can save a lot of costs, but also improve the production efficiency of the whole society, the United States "Telecommunications Act of 1996" After the promulgation, countries around the world have followed suit and worked hard to advance, China did not start slowly, almost synchronized with the United States, in 1996 to demonstrate and formulate relevant policies, but because of the obstruction and non-cooperation of the radio and television departments, it has not been able to truly complete the integration for more than 20 years.

Liu Yunlai was a reporter, and knew that what Du Qiu said was right, so he was silent, picked up chopsticks and ate a few bites of food casually, and then asked, "Don't you have any ideas yourself?"

"There are ideas, but unfortunately there are too many, and there are thousands of clues, but I don't know which one is better. Du Qiu smiled bitterly and sighed, scooped up half a bowl of mushroom soup, and asked while drinking, "Brother Liu, have you heard of the National Science Foundation for Distinguished Young Scholars?"

"No, what's that?"

On the eve of the Spring Festival last year, several experts in the field of science and technology were invited to hold a symposium, among which Chen Zhangliang, vice president of Peking University, also attended and gave him 5 minutes to speak. Du Qiu stretched out five fingers and said: "In these five minutes, Chen Zhangliang suggested that the state set up a fund to promote the growth of young scientific and technological talents, encourage overseas scholars to return to China to work, and accelerate the cultivation of a group of outstanding academic leaders who have entered the world's scientific and technological frontiers." ”

"And then the top listened to his suggestion and set up the fund you said?"

"Hmm. This fund will certainly have a very positive impact on research, education and scholarship in the future. Du Qiu looked at Liu Yunlai and said solemnly: "Brother Liu, tomorrow I will be given 20 minutes, which is 4 times that of Chen Zhangliang, and I hope to promote a policy that has a positive impact on China's scientific and technological development." ”

The establishment of the National Science Fund for Distinguished Young Scholars, is one of the most influential policies in the domestic scientific research system after the reform and opening up, and has achieved very good results, the scholars sponsored by this fund are referred to as outstanding young people, with a high gold content, and the Thousand Talents Program and the Yangtze River Scholars are side by side, is the existence of academicians in the domestic academic circles, each of which is the top talent of a certain discipline in China, and the age limit is not more than 45 years old, and there is still a lot of room for development in the future, so it is highly valued in the university and belongs to the strategic level of valuable resources.

Du Qiu has a lazy personality and a weak desire for power, but under the influence of his grandfather, he has always had the feelings of the family and country that is poor and good for himself, and the family and country of the world, so he has high requirements for tomorrow's lecture, and hopes to give full play to the advantages of the foresight of the traverser without exposing the hole cards, and promote a policy that benefits the country and the people, so that China will take fewer detours in the future, develop a little faster, and be better.

Liu Yunlai also has a strong sense of family and country, otherwise he would not have mentioned the integration of the three networks just now, because the integration of the three networks has nothing to do with Snapdragon's business, but if it can really promote the leadership to pay attention to and implement it, it will be of great benefit to the country.

The Internet has extraordinary application prospects in many important fields such as business, finance, scientific research, national defense, education, etc., which can greatly enhance the comprehensive strength of the country, and the two guys with higher hearts than the sky get together, and they really can't think of where to start for a while, so as to promote or influence the formulation of an important policy within 20 minutes, until after eating, when Yang Fan was far away in Cloud City when he had a conference call, Du Qiu got inspiration from him and thought of a satisfactory idea.

Yang Fan is a pragmatist, completely without family and country feelings, only consider his own interests, he from the perspective of Snapdragon, said: "The company is not short of money, nor lack of technology, what is lacking is talent and environment, talent, files, hukou, student status and other restrictions are too many, digging high-end talents is very troublesome; environment, cloud city's infrastructure, government efficiency, official quality and management ideas are too different from coastal cities......

After he complained, he proposed: "Mr. Du, the Internet is a new industry, the development speed is very fast, the domestic system is rigid, many policies and regulations have either long been outdated, or a blank, resulting in the local government looking ahead, shrinking back, seriously restricting the development of the company, if possible, I hope you will suggest tomorrow to follow the example of Shekou in the early days of reform and opening up, and set up an Internet high-tech pilot zone in Cloud City." ”

That's right!

A 20-minute lecture is far from enough to tell the future of the Internet, so why not set up a test area and use Snapdragon as an experimental product for decision-makers to see and experience for themselves?

And this suggestion is exactly in line with Du Qiu's ideal of building his hometown into China's Silicon Valley, he instantly had an idea, and said into the phone: "Yang Fan, your idea is very good, I have a very good idea, now I want to write a lecture outline, hang up first." ”

"Okay, I wish Mr. Du all the best. ”

After Yang Fan hung up the phone, Liu Yunlai asked, "Mr. Du, what is your idea?"

"Smart City!"
