0878 To Unite

……

The Zheru Spring Developer Conference, which was held before the launch of the fifth generation of Fangyuan personal computers, was full of materials. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info a variety of new technologies and concepts, which have been frantically pursued by the media, and have brought new business opportunities to the entire industry.

Take 6D as an example, it can at least give laptops one more selling point of wireless communication, and as for GPU, it can bring out an industry comparable to CPU.

Inevitably, in the midst of the cheers and encouragement, there was no shortage of disappointed.

For example, Sony is developing a new generation of digital video technology, multimedia_pact_disc multimedia disc, MMCD.

Gain, Tang IT confided during the technical conference that Zheru has developed the next generation of CD, VCD, CD-ROM, CD-R, CD-RW, the digital_versatile_disc digital multi-purpose disc, that is, DVD, which is almost complete.

Although there is no specific demonstration of the DVD, some of the characteristics are quite certain.

Among them, the DVD disc capacity will be up to several gigabytes, which can hold better quality videos, completely solving the limitation that a VCD disc cannot hold an entire movie.

There is also a new version of the digital rights management system content_scramble_system the Content Scrambling System, or CSS, will be applied to DVDs.

Tang Huan's practice of "only hearing his voice, not seeing his people", whether it is a smoke bomb or not, was immediately embraced by Hollywood, which made Sony, who thought that he had mixed into the circle through the acquisition of Columbia Pictures, very depressed.

In fact, the battlefield of multimedia is expanding. Apple's recent launch of QuickTime, as well as Microsoft's brewing video_for_windows, are the clearest proof of this.

However, Tang Huan, who has already seized the first-mover advantage, as long as he "slots" in a timely manner, it will be enough for those who want to rebel to drink a pot.

After participating in various technology-themed activities at the Zheru Spring Developer Conference, Mr. The richest man met with representatives of the "Eighteen Princes", including the Fangyuan Personal Computer Alliance, the VCD Alliance, etc., to discuss the IT industry's response to the current global economic recession - the hard-working and exhausted leaders of Silicon Valley, who have worked so hard that people can't help but feel reverence.

Time flies for busy people, and before you know it, on Wednesday, April 29, the Los Angeles District Court is holding a trial on whether four police officers "used excessive force" against Rodney King, a black man.

The jury, which reviewed the full 81-second footage, confirmed that Rodney King had resisted arrest and acquitted the four officers of the crime of not using excessive force to arrest the suspect.

At 3:15 p.m., four Los Angeles police officers were acquitted by the court.

At 3:45 p.m., a large number of people who received the news gathered outside the Los Angeles District Court to protest.

Because Ted Turner listened to the advice of the richest man, he cleanly brought in a helicopter early to report on the scene.

This allows Tang Huan, who is in San Francisco, to get quite accurate and real-time information just by watching the live broadcast of CNN.

"The situation may really get out of hand. Looking at the chaotic scene on the TV screen, Mr. The richest man shook his head, turned to Tang Wenmao and said, "Go and remind the Chinese Chamber of Commerce over there to strengthen your vigilance." ”

As Tang Huan expected, at 6 o'clock in the afternoon, at the corner of Florence and Normandy in south-central Los Angeles, a group of restless blacks gathered, revealing a sign of danger.

The Los Angeles police sent 24 officers to the location to try to disperse the crowd, but the men retreated because of the disparity in numbers.

At 6:30 p.m., under the gaze of the helicopter camera, these people at the corner of Florence and Normandy finally exploded like a spark on a haystack.

Looking at the TV, the rioting crowd attacked the passing vehicles, ransacked the shops, and sat around Jinchang and Jinge, Jinming, Jinliang, Jinying, Jinjie, Jinjia, Jinyan, Jinnian, Jinfang, all of them turned pale with surprise.

Hu Yinmeng walked in, touched the heads of Jin Nian and Jin Fang, who were the youngest in the scene, and then said to Tang Huan with disgust: "They are still young, do they have to get together to watch these things, is it necessary?"

"Although they are young, they are already sensible. Tang Huan said lightly: "My son, you can't always be pampered. And what is in front of you is insight. ”

Hu Yinmeng was about to habitually open his mouth to refute a few words, but he felt that his sleeve was being pulled, and it turned out that Jin Nian and Jin Fang were nervously hugging their mother.

In the live broadcast of CNN, a truck was stopped, and the white driver inside was dragged out, and then he was beaten and beaten to death on the ground.

Another driver, who was robbed of $2,000 and cut off his ear and fell unconscious, rushed over to rescue the victim when the mob spray-painted him, a black pastor shouted "If you want to kill him, kill me too."

At this time, a servant reported at the door, "Ms. Hu, there is a call from Xiangjiang looking for you." ”

"I'll go over here. Hu Yinmeng nodded, took Jin Nian and Jin Fang's little hands, and was about to go out.

Seeing this scene, Tang Huan coughed, Hu Yinmeng glanced at the man angrily, leaned over and taught softly to his twin sons: "Jin Nian, Jin Fang, you have so many brothers, if you are really afraid, go find them." On weekdays, aren't your brothers very united, and then forget about it?"

……

By 8:30 p.m., the intersection of Florence and Normandy was in complete chaos, with many buildings damaged and set on fire by petrol bombs, as if the end of the world had come.

Even more frenziedly, some of the rioters even began to attack the rescuers who arrived.

Hu Yinmeng walked back and said: "Zhou Liang Shuyi called and said that Media Asia TV was simultaneously broadcasting the program signal of the cable news network, and everyone was very surprised, and they were worried about their relatives and friends who immigrated over. ”

"I have assisted the various Chinese chambers of commerce to be on guard, and I can only do my best to obey the fate of heaven. Tang Huan pointed to the TV and said, "Look, the Koreatown in Los Angeles is starting to suffer. In the eyes of other ethnic groups, it is impossible to distinguish between Koreans, RB people, and Chinese, and it is estimated that the entire Asian population will be implicated. ”

"Luckily, our whole family is in San Francisco. Hu Yinmeng said with palpitations.

"This kind of violent catharsis is easily contagious under the pervasive live broadcast of television. Tang Huan sighed, "I hope the chaos in Los Angeles can be calmed down as soon as possible, otherwise, it may be raging across the United States." ”

……

On Thursday, April 30, the Los Angeles riots entered their second day, and the mood of the riots had spread throughout Los Angeles, including Las Vegas, San Francisco, New York, Seattle, Chicago, Phoenix and other cities, and the relatively small riots followed.

The residence of the richest man is naturally located in a wealthy and well-developed upper-class community, but Tang Huan did not take it lightly, arranged the most trusted family security team, and even prepared a helicopter.

It's not that the richest man in Tang is loud and quiet, but in these years, only he can rely on himself, and he didn't see that Koreatown, the hardest-hit area of this riot, has been abandoned by the Los Angeles police, and the local residents have organized armed security teams to maintain their own safety, and the actual situation is that there is an armed conflict.

In response, Los Angeles Mayor Tom Bradley announced a curfew, and US President George H.W. Bush publicly stated that the absence of government ~ government will not be tolerated.

At the same time, the Los Angeles Police Department was assisted by support units from the California Highway Patrol, and the California National Guard formed a response team of about 2,000 people, but had not yet received permission to enter the city to suppress the riot.

……

On Friday, May 1, the Los Angeles riots continued into their third day, and California Governor Peter Wilson finally opened his mouth and asked the federal government ~ for support.

As a result, a variety of federal law enforcement officers began traveling to Los Angeles to assist the Los Angeles Police Department and protect federal government facilities, and about 10,000 California National Guardsmen, as well as thousands of U.S. Army and Marines, marched into Los Angeles to suppress the riot.

……

On Saturday, May 2, the Los Angeles riots finally came to an end.

The case of Rodney King, the trigger of the riots, was retried in federal court, including a jury of two African-American members, who convicted two of the officers and sentenced them to 30 months in prison.

……

Thanks to the advanced modern media means, the scene of the Los Angeles riots was quickly spread to all parts of the world, and people's reactions were not only shocked, but also incredulous, and even more simple people could not understand -- how could such a thing happen in the United States, the most developed and civilized country in the world?

In just four days that shook the whole world, a large number of violations such as robbery were involved, about 10,000 people were arrested, 600 arsons~ fires occurred, 53 people died, and property damage amounted to $1 billion.

Among them, Korean shops suffered targeted damage, with property losses of about $400 million. The shop of the Korean female shopkeeper Dou Shunzi, who killed a 15-year-old black girl, Ratasha Harlins, was naturally burned.

Of course, other Asian ethnic groups must have also been affected, but fortunately, there were no cases of Chinese deaths, which is finally worthy of the efforts of Mr. The richest man.

For example, the first Chinese-American female mayor of the United States, the mayor of Monterey Park in Los Angeles County, Chen Li Wanruo, showed the demeanor of a strong woman, personally led a rescue team composed of 20 Chinese volunteers to the scene of the conflict, and delivered a speech of "people hurt themselves" to the local people and the national television news network audience, calling on all ethnic groups in Los Angeles to maintain harmony.

At the same time, the power of technology is once again being revealed, with digital surveillance devices providing a wealth of evidence to convict the LAPD and keep the LAPD busy, and for several months, the richest man has also mobilized Chinese-American shops to install a large number of digital surveillance devices, thus bringing together a well-documented disaster movie, a teaching material that will never forget the past.

After the curfew was lifted in Los Angeles, Tang Huan, who rushed there, said in a speech at a post-disaster mutual aid event organized by the Chinese Chamber of Commerce: "I think sitting at home behind closed doors and disasters coming from heaven is the best portrayal of the previous four days." ”

"Obviously, in the face of sudden disaster, there is only a way out of the group, and the armed resistance of Koreans on the other side of Koreatown is the best proof of this. ”

"I have always called on everyone to live their own small life on weekdays, it is far from enough, and they should pay more attention to politics ~ governance, and even take out dollars from their wallets and donate them to electors who can represent their interests. ”

"Ms. Chen Li Wanruo actively campaigned in this incident, showing the courage of women not to let their eyebrows go. She is about to pursue a position at this level in California, and I hope that you will spare no effort to support our own representatives. ”

……

After Los Angeles returned to stability, the cause of the riot naturally became the focus of discussion.

There is no doubt that the Rodney King case was a trigger, and some politicians, such as Los Angeles Mayor Tom Bradley, played a role in fanning the flames.

The black mayor has been in this position for almost 20 years, having run for the post of governor of California twice in the 1980s, both of which failed.

When the Rodney King verdict came out, Tom Bradley spoke out in indignation at a press conference and called for calm without pain, and the black mayor's response to the riots was not strong.

Of course, the political situation is correct, and everyone tries to avoid the important and the trivial when discussing it, and the high unemployment rate in the South Central District of Los Angeles, where the riots took place mainly under the influence of the US economic recession, has become a recognized macro cause.

In this case, the Disaster Recovery Plan for Los Angeles commits $6 billion in investment and creates 74,000 jobs.

After attending a fundraiser for food and medicine, Mr. Mangy went to the South Central area of Los Angeles to take a look, and it was a mess, needless to say. Although he was not optimistic about the so-called reconstruction, he still responded to the call and invested a little money, which can be regarded as a voice for the Chinese.

……

There are two sides to everything, and the Los Angeles riots have also brought "benefits" to some groups, such as gun sales, the increased popularity of digital surveillance equipment, and CNN, which uses several helicopters to carry out live coverage in all directions.

You know, last year, through its coverage of the Gulf War, CNN became an international media outlet, and Ted Turner became the man of the year in 1991.

Therefore, timely reporting of such a major event will undoubtedly further enhance the political ~ political influence of the cable news network.

However, Ted Turner looked a little depressed when he met Tang Huan. (To be continued.) )
