Chapter Eighty-Four: A Speech with Ulterior Motives

"I'm sorry!8 The boss is so arrogant, the 1.5 million car is taken out as a lottery, and if you lose, you will lose a lot. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"In fact, this car is nothing, we always have a lengthened red flag, it is said that it used to be a national leader to sit in, that is the real luxury car, money can't buy it. ”

"He just said that 1.5 million is only half a month's income, which is equivalent to 100,000 a day, what is the use of the Internet, so easy to make money?"

In the midst of the different opinions, Du Qiu asked knowingly, asked Zhou Hongyi's name, and then greeted: "It turns out that you are Zhou Hongyi, no wonder I think the voice is a little familiar, you can sit down first, and then talk slowly after the opening ceremony is over." ”

After Zhou Hongyi sat down according to his words, a netizen who had just met last night behind him patted him on the shoulder, half jealous and half envious: "You really took shit luck, gambling on a luxury car of more than one million yuan with a camera of several hundred yuan, I knew that I also shouted just now!"

Zhou Hongyi was also very excited at this time, but his mind still remained clear, and he said with a smile: "The higher the odds, the greater the possibility of losing." ”

"It doesn't matter if you lose, it's just a camera anyway, the key is that the 8 boss knows you, maybe he will poach you to go to work on Snapdragon, which is a good job with a monthly salary of more than 10,000 yuan. ”

With a high salary beyond the times and a rapidly rising fame, Snapdragon has become an ideal work unit in the hearts of many domestic programmers, but Zhou Hongyi has only been working for more than a month at this time, and there is no clear career plan, so he said casually: "Snapdragon not everyone can earn more than 10,000 yuan a month." ”

Compared with Zhou Hongyi's sluggishness, Sun Shaobao, who was sitting in the front row, was more sensitive, and he asked Liu Yunlai, who was sitting near the corridor, sideways: "Du Qiu's bet is the so-called eyeball hype, right?"

Liu Yunlai has always looked at each other unpleasantly with this uncle, and rarely communicates with each other, but recently the relationship between the two has eased slightly, so he said patiently: "It's not eyeball hype, it's eyeball economy, now there is a surplus of information, people's attention can't keep up, only those companies that can attract the attention of consumers will make a lot of money." ”

Eyeball economy is the common name of attention economy, this concept was officially put forward in 1997, in 1995 it was very advanced, only a few media people who are often in contact with Du Qiu can understand, Sun Shaobao knows a little about this, and said with some disdain: "Snapdragon has no business in China at all, so grandstanding, in addition to creating some jokes, what money can be made?"

Liu Yunlai moved the corners of his mouth, resisted the urge to ridicule each other, and explained lightly: "Mr. Du is warming up in advance for the product launch conference the day after tomorrow, and you will know when the time comes." ”

Under the hint of several reporters squatting next to the rostrum, Du Qiu held the car keys and placed two more imposing POSE for them to take pictures, then put away the car keys and walked back to the middle of the rostrum, signaling netizens to be quiet and continue their speeches.

"Tang Taizong has a famous saying, called taking history as a mirror, you can know the rise and fall. The reason why I took the bet on my car is because history has told us the direction of future development, especially in industries such as industry and technology. ”

"In 1781, James Watt improved the steam engine, and after more than 20 years of development, at the beginning of the 19th century, Robert Fulton invented the steamship and George Stephenson invented the railroad, which was the first industrial revolution, and everyone should have heard of this history. ”

"In 1860, Etienne Lenoir invented the internal combustion engine, in 1866, Werner von Siemens invented the generator, and also after more than 20 years of development, in the 80s of the 19th century, Carl Benz invented the automobile and Thomas Edison invented the electric light, which was the second industrial revolution. ”

In 1966, the Chinese-American scientist Charles Kao proposed the theory of optical fiber communication, in 1969, the ARPA network, the predecessor of the Internet, was officially launched, and in 1971, Kenbak released the world's first personal computer .......

At this time, a netizen provoked: "Wasn't the personal computer invented by Apple?"

Apple just took the PC a step further, and Kenbak sold 40 PCs in 1971 for $750. After showing off the huge and complicated knowledge in his memory, Du Qiu continued the topic just now: "After more than 20 years of development, in the era we are in now, there are millions of kilometers of communication lines and hundreds of millions of personal computers in the world.

"The concept of the third industrial revolution was mentioned as early as shortly after the end of World War II, some said that it was marked by the atomic bomb, some said that it was marked by satellites, some said it was marked by electronic computers, and in my opinion, none of those were not, I think the symbol of the third industrial revolution is the Internet, and only when the Internet matures, the third industrial revolution will really break out. ”

Du Qiuhao's gambling and question-answering attitude stimulated the enthusiasm of the audience, and someone immediately made fun and asked, "Why?"

In the first industrial revolution, steamships and steam trains replaced wooden ships and carriages, making ocean voyages and long-distance migrations possible, narrowing the distance between time and space, and raising the efficiency of human information exchange to a higher level in the second industrial revolution, telegraph and telephone replaced oral messages and letters, so that the efficiency of information exchange was improved to a higher level, and among all the mature technologies in the world today, only the Internet can improve the efficiency of human information exchange again。 ”

Information also belongs to productivity, Du Qiu's rhetoric, in fact, did not depart from the theoretical system of "industrial revolution" and "productivity" in middle school textbooks, but he deliberately cut a few historical details and interpreted them from a different perspective, giving people a refreshing feeling.

At this time, a local tyrant netizen held up an Ericsson GSM mobile phone that had just been launched in China, shook it very coquettishly, and questioned loudly: "8 Mr., what about mobile phones? Mobile phones can also improve the efficiency of information exchange." ”

"From 1 to 2 is a quantitative change, from 1 to 100 is a qualitative change, and the qualitative change will trigger the industrial revolution. After Du Qiu explained, he said: "Let me take the preparatory process of this Internet conference as an example to explain why the Internet will make a qualitative change in the efficiency of information exchange in human society. ”

"Let's start by reasoning, if there is no Internet, what would you do if you have a gathering of 500 computer enthusiasts with strangers who don't know each other?"

"First of all, I have to spend a lot of money to advertise in national newspapers and invite 500 computer enthusiasts to come to Cloud City, but after the advertisement, as the organizer, I don't know how many computer enthusiasts have seen the advertisement, and I can't screen out the real computer enthusiasts from the thousands of applicants, and as a participant, you don't know if there are any places when you see the advertisement, and you don't know if there are any activities that you are interested in during the party, because the newspaper has a limited space, and many details are not clear. ”

"What is especially troublesome is that if there is an accident during the preparation process, it is difficult to solve it in the traditional way, such as someone who can't come to the meeting for a while, who will be the substitute, or the organizer changes the meeting time, how to notify ......"

With the improvement of the specifications of the Internet conference, the opening time has also changed, originally set in July, and then changed to August 1, and then changed to August 18, which can be described as a twist and turn, and has been criticized, so as soon as Du Qiu's words came out, there was a wave of goodwill boos in the conference center.

"Secondly, I will bear all the expenses of this party, but you have to buy bus tickets, train tickets or air tickets yourself, and then reimburse them after you arrive in Cloud City. ”

"Third, as the organizer of the party, I hope to attract the attention of more computer enthusiasts, as a sponsor of the party, I hope to get timely and extensive publicity, but after the reporter interviews and takes pictures, the manuscript should be faxed back to the company or magazine, and then go through a series of processes such as review, typesetting, printing, etc., and when the publication is officially released, the party has already become a thing of the past. ”

"Fourth, in the process of preparing for the party, I have to purchase a lot of supplies, many of which I have never bought before, and when the party is over, before you leave, you may have to buy some souvenirs and other things to take back as gifts or as souvenirs, but most of you are coming to Cloud City for the first time, what to buy? Where to buy? Is the price appropriate? Is there a problem with the quality? I don't know anything, right?"

"Fifth, during this party, everyone will make a lot of friends, and after going their own way, after going home, if you want to continue this friendship, you have to keep in touch often, calling? China Telecom will make you a poor egg, write letters? China Post can make you a hopeless stone. ”

In 1995, telecommunications and postal services were extremely inefficient, a telephone cost thousands of yuan for the initial installation, and a letter took months to receive a response.
