Chapter 354: Hugo Award and Dr. Lu

Thirty and standing. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

At the age of 28, two years before the age of 30, Xu Teng finally returned to the most satisfying state of life, his new home is in the Pioneer Park of Yangtze University, and he has returned to the edge of school life.

He and Chen Jian swapped identities, he accepted the school's offer as the managing director, and Chen Jian replaced him as the president of the alumni association of Yangtze University.

The classmates who once started a business together and co-created the "Jiangzhou Tiantian Network Company" also jointly invested in a youth healing movie called "Our Entrepreneurial Era", Xu Teng personally served as the producer and main screenwriter, and personally selected the cast.

Everyone is almost in their thirties, even Zhao Pu and Gu Chen are also talking about marriage, Zhao Pu is ready to marry his girlfriend who has lived together for many years in Jiangzhou, and is preparing for his own marriage proposal, Gu Chen's object is a little special, it should be a girl in the circle of Sister Su and He Yongan, and He Yongan still has a little bit of kinship, the kind of girl who studied in England and returned to China to engage in public welfare.

Why?

What's going on?

Xu Teng is not very clear, but this is Gu Chen's old story as a private equity manager in the capital, Xu Teng asked Sister Su and the woman to inquire, met in 2003, at a charity event, Gu Chen was sent by the company to pull customers, got to know each other, talked about breaking up for half a year, and later got back together and broke up again.

Probably at the age of marriage, the woman considered all the lists in her hand, and still felt that Gu Chen was the most suitable, Gu Chen seemed to be ...... It doesn't matter, to be honest, Gu Chen is a standard diamond-level single aristocrat, and the list in his hand can fill a few sheets of A4 paper.

Gu Chen's grandfather is a veteran cadre of the Red Second Front Army, who participated in the Long March, his father is one of the very few pianists and musicians with international prestige in China, and his mother is a colonel of the Art Troupe of the Military Region on active duty - of course, Xu Teng knows that Gu Chen's actual biological father is Jiang Ningyuan, which cannot be said.

Gu Chen's own experience is also legendary, Tan Yu's assistant, participated in the recording of several diva-level platinum records in the domestic music scene, was once known as one of the best pop music composers and game music producers in China, and produced more than 20 background songs for "Magic Sword", which has been regarded as the pinnacle of Chinese game music by domestic gamers and media, and after graduation, he became an investment manager of a private equity fund.

Now, Gu Chen has a net worth of about 2 billion RMB, which can be called the most bullish retail investor in China, mainly investing in financial stocks, liquor stocks and tourism stocks.

Rich people are more capable, Gu Chen is no exception, he has set up a small company with only a dozen employees, only investing and managing money for himself, doing a little angel investment and private equity operation, and most of the time is playing.

Right.

pure play, invested in movies and TV series, and also participated in many talent shows.

Therefore, Gu Chen, a single aristocrat, has at least a four-page A4 paper alternative list in his hands.

Look at the classmates in college, friends are getting married one after another, even Liu Junsheng, the most bohemian and uninhibited bastard who was known as the weekly girl in college, officially got married in Sanya, Hainan a few months ago, Gu Chen finally decided to get married.

The object is not clear, so I pick it casually, and then I get back together with a girl who has been dating twice and is particularly capable, and starts talking about marriage.

When Xu Teng lobbied in Beijing for the approval policy of the panel industry, Gu Chen was also in the capital, Xu Teng thought he was coming to play with Chen Jian, but he didn't expect that this Gu Dacai came to see his father-in-law and mother-in-law.

With the right people and talents, this thing must be going well.

Recently, when Xu Teng was busy preparing to record the first and last album of "Summer Band", he met the woman and looked okay - he felt similar to Chen Jian, this girl is more capable and very pretentious.

Gu Chen did a lot of scientific calculations and analysis, and finally chose this girl to get married, naturally he had his reasons, Xu Teng didn't ask much, anyway, even Chen Jian and Zhao Pu didn't have any opinions, what else did he have to say.

Xu Teng can only judge by feeling, although this girl is more capable, but she is very obsessed with Gu Chen, or she is just a simple kung fu in bed, who knows, everyone is an adult, so it's better not to ask too much.

Besides, no matter how good this girl is, it can't compare to Liu Junsheng's wife, that G milk goddess Gong Keyfei, who has been a model for so many years, no matter how many foreign girls Liu Junsheng has outside, this girl can deal with it with one move and never let go.

In any case, the men in their circle are basically lucky, so they don't bother about the lack of girls, and if this is not happiness, the other male compatriots in the country are estimated to rebel.

Gone are the days of mere college.

Xu Teng recorded this album of "That Summer" very seriously, just to remember his youth and make up for the regret of his college days, and the same is true for Gu Chen and Chen Jian.

As for the college campus + youth entrepreneurship theme "Our Entrepreneurial Era" that they jointly invested, to put it bluntly, it was actually a social public relations of the Huayin Consortium, which proved that Xu Teng was also a struggling year.

Back to campus life is still very interesting, Xu Teng and Xia Li often walk near the nightingale mountain on campus, and meet the younger students who are meeting privately, both of them are very kind, and occasionally have some selfie requests, they will not refuse.

At this time, Yangtze University has officially merged with Jiangzhou University of Finance and Economics, with the brand of 211 University, Xujia and Huateng Foundation still have to provide about 1/3 of the teaching funds for the school every year, and the province and the Ministry of Education are responsible for the other 2/3, and the total annual budget is about 7 billion, slightly lower than Fudan University, and it is definitely among the best in 211 universities.

Compared with the two 985 universities in the province, it is even higher.

Jiang University, Jiang University of Science and Technology, Jiang University of Technology, Yangtze University, plus Jiang Medical University, the pattern of the five major universities in the province is still very clear, but the merger trend of Jiang University and Jiang Medical University is also obvious.

Under the strong promotion of Xu Teng and these Jiangzhou factions, the trend of moving the main campus of Jianghuai University of Science and Technology to Jiangzhou is also inevitable, and it will eventually become the overlap of the four major universities in Jiangzhou and the four major universities in the province, forming a situation where two 211 and two 985 are competing against each other.

This situation is one of the necessary conditions for Huateng Company to take Jiangzhou as its headquarters, and the province promised Xu Teng a few years ago that it will definitely do this.

The album of "That Summer" is still in preparation, the first song has not been recorded, and the script of "Our Entrepreneurial Era" has just been released.

In order to promote, Xu Teng also made a rare appearance show, playing and singing on the spot, proving that he had really practiced and had a great time in college.

Playing and playing, Xu Teng himself didn't expect that the Hugo Award in 2010 would be won by him - dizzy, he really didn't expect that he hadn't written a science fiction novel for many years, and he actually won the "Best Science Fiction Novel of the Year" award.

This, this...... It's a little embarrassing.

Plagiarism.

The next episode of "Dark Universe" should also be the last of Xu Teng's 10 science fiction novels, all of which were published in China in 07, and even reprinted for the second time, because the translation work was a bit complicated, and it was officially published in the United States at the end of last year.

Xu Teng has to say that the Hugo Award jury is also a very capable model, knowing that it is the last full-length science fiction novel of the world's richest man, regardless of 3721, get an award first, make a final positioning for Xu Teng, and by the way, promote this increasingly unpopular literary award in the world.

There are different opinions in the domestic critics, and it has always been recognized that Xu Teng's strongest science fiction novel is "Blue Superstar", after all, after being adapted into the movie "Avatar", it has accumulated a total box office of 3 billion US dollars worldwide.

Xu Teng is a little embarrassed, "Dark Universe" and Da Liu's "Three-Body Problem" have similarities, but Xu Teng completely retells a new story, jumping out of the framework of earth civilization and telling the logic of the dark universe, but in many theoretical settings, there are still many similarities.

For example, it is believed that if any planetary civilization cannot break through nuclear fusion, it can only stay at a lower level, but once it breaks through to nuclear fusion, has unlimited energy and unlimited resources, and can reproduce infinitely within the interstellar range, it may attract the destruction of the advanced civilization of the alien system.

Xu Teng used "Dark Universe" to allude to the great power competition within the earth's civilization, elevated to the cosmic level, and launched a highly fantasy and highly cruel cosmic competition, in the final analysis, it is still the ultimate competition between various races for living space and racial reproduction.

Xu Teng's view is different from that of Da Liu, he believes that once nuclear fusion is reached and the threshold of interstellar navigation is broken, there is only one result for the earth civilization - to become a colony, to be colonized by a higher civilization, to provide more human resources for the space war of the higher civilization, to send troops to participate in the war, and to carry out logistics and cannon fodder orders.

In any case, as a novel of the same genre, once "Dark Universe" wins the "Hugo Award", it will become more difficult for Da Liu's "Three-Body Problem" to win the award, and of course, it is not excluded that the jury will give special awards to the Chinese 60s background of "The Three-Body Problem".

Xu Teng doesn't actually need this award, but it is not a bad thing to get this award, and it will definitely have a bonus and consolidation effect on his position as a global technology industry leader.

I wrote so many messy science fiction novels when I was in college, served as a screenwriter for science fiction movies 4 times, won a bunch of Saturn Awards and domestic science fiction awards, and won the Nebula Award twice, this time, Xu Teng finally won the last and most important global science fiction award.

He will definitely go to the United States to receive the award, and by the way, he will visit the United States to visit President Obama, who has been in office for two years.

The reception standards of the White House are quite high, there is an informal reception ceremony, two hours of informal talks in the White House, and finally I have to attend a press conference with the president, stand for President Obama, emphasize the importance of the new energy industry and the environmental protection industry, and appreciate the speed and importance of the recovery of the US economy.

At this stage in August 2010, the two major powers of China and the United States have not yet fully broken up, and Xu Teng and SVB Investment Company have played a positive role in the current policy of the United States.

The concept of Asia-Pacific rebalancing has not yet been proposed.

As we all know, this concept is really put forward by Singapore, including the TPP and the expansion of the TPP, all of which are the result of Singapore's behind-the-scenes operation, don't think that Singapore is small, and China has no sense of industrial competition, many people don't know, Singapore is not only in the port and financial business, and China has a serious conflict, in the chip foundry, design business, also has extremely sensitive impact factors.

Especially in the past two years, with the rise of the smartphone industry, Huateng's mobile phone chip business has seriously threatened the chip foundry business in Taiwan and Singapore, including in the field of design, Huateng's Huarui and Feiteng series chips in the ARM ecological chain have maintained a very good market share in the field of mobile phone chips in the world.

From the perspective of the entire Huayin consortium, whether it is large-scale investment in Malaysia's ports, railways, highways, and petrochemicals, as well as investment in domestic ports, finance, and semiconductor industries, it is an all-round threat to Singapore's living environment.

This even includes the Huayin consortium's casino investments throughout East Asia.

Xu Teng arrived in the United States on August 15 for a visit, and during the five days, he met with many old friends intensively, and he also keenly felt that Singapore's lobbying efforts in the United States are expanding, and many experts and policy advisers in the US elite have begun to raise the importance of Asian issues.

The mindset of returning to the Asia-Pacific region is rapidly taking shape.

On August 20, Xu Teng received the "Best Novel of the Year" award at the 68th Hugo Awards at the Kansas Convention and Exhibition Center in the western city of the United States.

He himself won the Saturn Award for Best Science Fiction Screenwriter of the Year for "Terminator 4".

How to say this thing, people are famous, often more fame comes, works can be adapted into movies, box office results are also good, the effects of all aspects are superimposed, and in the end, this is it, winning awards is soft.

Among the three awards in the American science fiction industry, the Hugo Award is the most literary, the Nebula Award is more modest, and the Saturn Award is the most in the film and television industry, so Xu Teng won the most Saturn Awards, 7 times before and after.

Therefore, at this Hugo Awards ceremony, there were many friends in the American film industry, including directors, actors, investors, and tycoons in the publishing industry.

The real pure science fiction friends, Xu Teng knows relatively little, because he didn't mix in this field many years ago, and the level is too low, and it is of little value to him.

Because it is Xu Teng, the richest man in the world and the leader of the global high-tech industry, the organizer is very scheming, and invites VIPs across the United States, and specially arranges a fifteen-minute speech for Xu Teng.

So!

Xu Teng, as always, wants to make a very wonderful speech.

"In this short life of mine, I have received many awards, and each time, I have to thank a lot of people, especially those who presented the awards, and this time, I still want to thank the gentlemen and ladies of the jury first, I truly believe that you are the greatest people on the planet. Believe me, every year in the past, when people talk about me winning an award and I don't win it, I don't have a very good opinion of you. ”

First of all, it was an American humor and ridicule in exchange for a wave of cheap applause and laughter.

Xu Teng has been in the United States for so long that he can know how horrible the black neighborhood of San Francisco is, so much so that he can know how terrifying it is to rent a house in a big city on the western coast of the United States, so much so that he can know that the SVB employees, who have no house in their thirties, are still trying to pay off their student loans in college.

So much so that he knew that most of the doctors in the Ascension Group had borrowed $600,000 in debt to finish medical school.

So much so that he knows that the smartest students in American universities are basically studying law and medicine, whether they are white or black, the first choice of local American students is always law, medicine and finance, biology and computer science students, science and engineering students, half of them are from overseas students.

So much so that he knew that Kansas City, where the Hugo Awards was held, had the same overall level of infrastructure as the county towns in China...... He is talking about the county seat in the Midwest, the American architecture, the photo is very beautiful, and the scene looks like that.

So much so that he knew that investing in industry and building a modern automobile factory in the United States would not be able to recruit many young automotive engineers.

So much so that he knows that the growth of the US economy is basically driven by immigration, especially illegal immigration, and this is no secret.

The United States is a country that is really going to end sooner or later.

If it is to maintain economic growth, it must continue to absorb illegal immigrants from Latin and Central America, and the more it absorbs, the more the native white system will collapse, and sooner or later it will be like South Africa – bad money drives out good money, elites leave, and poor people run rampant.

Success is also Xiao He, defeat is also Xiao He.

The United States, which is strong because of immigrationism, will eventually decline because of the immigration problem, and this process is slow and irreversible.

Therefore, which Chinese expert now wants to advocate the absorption of cheap labor in ASEAN, that is, neurotic, brainsick, brainwashed by European and American civilizations into brain-dead, of course, there are really many such experts, Xu Teng has encountered several in China in the past two years.

There is one at the Asia-Pacific Research Institute.

If it weren't for the other party's in-depth study of the ASEAN issue, Xu Teng would have let the other party roll up and get out.

All this, although Xu Teng is not mentioned in the Hugo Award award speech, he is not so stupid, he does not like to pretend to be so much, he just said a few jokes, let everyone share the joy of winning the award.

"I always emphasise to a lot of people that I was a science fiction writer who just accidentally started a business, made a lot of money, and ended up being a banker. A lot of people just don't believe it, they always forget that I started my first online company with the first money I earned in an American science fiction magazine. So, I think it's very important for me to thank Asimov Magazine and Mr. HarveBennett, the editor-in-chief, for your contribution to the completion of my first small goal in life and the net worth of my first $10 billion. ”

"Now, I'm a banker, by no means the tech tycoon that many people think, you always live in your own world, you never see, my company is an international investment bank, holding seven Chinese banks. Now, I'm living a wonderful life, I always have a lot of time, you can't imagine, I have my own AI assistant, and I invested $400 million in developing it and letting it help me manage my business. I have a strict financial management system, if someone wants to invest a penny from my pocket, my intelligent assistant will be the first to find out, negotiate with the other party on my behalf as soon as possible, tell him in my voice, put my money back, and stop trying to steal my money. ”

Xu Teng gave all the guests present a time, let everyone laugh for a while, and applaud the progress of science and technology.

"Today, I also invited my assistant, it's here, Dr. Lu, come out, it's time for your show, say hello to everyone." Xu Teng snapped his fingers.

On the LCD screen behind Xu Teng, yellow and green wheat waves appeared, symbolizing harvest and hope, symbolizing hundreds of millions of data.

"Boss, I'm here, I found a suspicious person among the guests at the scene, who spent $7,000 on a firearm in the last five years, and who has made anti-Chinese remarks, NOW, he's watching you, do you need to notify the security personnel...... You know, I'm just asking for your opinion, in fact, I've informed the security guy and he's surrounded by our people. ”

"Wow, that's embarrassing......!" Xu Teng smiled funny, not feeling embarrassed, "I swear, I didn't know it would say this, although I know that when I go out, especially in the United States, the security procedures and modules will be raised to the highest level, because you have so many firearms." ”

The audience applauded, and everyone thought that Xu Teng was satirizing the difficulties of the gun ban movement in the United States.

These Americans are so kind, they don't understand, this is about Xu Teng's, Xu Teng is very happy to mock the absurdity of the United States.

"Dr. Lu, tell these friends of mine, what can you do for me?" Xu Teng smiled, this is a great opportunity for him to promote his artificial intelligence business.

"Boss, I really think this issue is too broad and heavily related to corporate secrets and your personal privacy." Dr. Lu just answered the questions normally and analyzed them according to the program modules.

"Dr. Lu, this is what I keep telling you repeatedly that you are just an artificial intelligence and that you don't understand the logic of human humor at all...... OK, I would like to give you some clear instructions, 30 days ago today, your daily work statistics will be published on the premise that they do not involve corporate secrets and my personal privacy. Xu Teng gave clearer instructions.

"There is no problem, read the work statistics on July 18, a total of 23,507 work emails were reviewed, 319 of them were selected as a priority, submitted to the secretariat for review, and finally submitted to BOSS37 work reports. Statistics of the financial statements of 14 primary industrial groups and 21 holding groups under the Huayin Consortium, a total of 1,752 holding companies, with a total cash balance of 19,544.32 million US dollars, a decrease of 10.35% over the previous working day, analyze the data and reasons, and submit statistical reports. Collect global media information, review a total of 430,000 news reports, classify them, submit a comprehensive report, and forward them to the Asia-Pacific Economic Research Institute and the Information Investigation Department of Huateng Company for ......! ”

Xu Teng gave Dr. Lu 3 minutes to talk about the work content and process on July 18.

It was quiet throughout.

Xu Teng's money is worth it, and for an entrepreneur like him, it is still necessary to have a smart assistant built by 400 million US dollars.

"My assistant, Dr. Lu is very amazing, its host was just upgraded a few months ago, and now has 2200 trillion operations per second, ranking second in the world's supercomputing, it can collect the information we need in the global network world according to the program module designed by Huateng Company, statistics of the global economy, and statistics of every penny of the company. It can replace me in direct communication with each employee, and in place of me in direct communication with all customers. Every penny I spend on it is worth it because the benefits it creates for me are unimaginable to many people. ”

"Every day, our programmers are constantly improving it, and its functions are getting more and more perfect, and in the future, it will provide health checks, medical advice, financial advice, and legal advice to millions of people. I estimate that in 10 years, AI similar to Dr. Lu will probably be able to provide better services to 7 billion people around the world, covering all aspects of life. ”

"So, when I tell you that I am one of the richest science fiction writers, you better not question that, and I can guarantee that in the future, we can bring real revolutionary progress to human life. In the end, I would like to thank the jury, thank you to all, I can swear that you will not regret this award, today, I no longer write science fiction, but, every day, I continue to create my own science fiction stories. ”

The audience burst into applause and applauded in shock.

Xu Teng enjoyed the moment, and he knew that this was the first time that the Hugo Awards had been broadcast live on a global network – no way, no TV station was willing to broadcast it live.

This is a good opportunity for the world to experience the scientific and technological progress of Huateng. (To be continued.) )
