Chapter 0953 - Don't Use Me as a Bargaining Chip to Make Trouble
This proposal would be of great benefit to the WEF, and Klaus Schwab certainly had no reason to reject it. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
It's just that he is a little curious about how far the current Internet can reach in terms of information dissemination compared with traditional media.
Tang Huan regarded it as a topic of idle chatter and patiently explained: "Now the theoretical maximum network speed that ordinary users contact in daily life is the fastest LAN, which can reach 100Mbit/s; WANs are much slower, between 56 Kbit/s and 128 Kbit/s; If the wireless network is included, the level of the wireless LAN is about 1Mbit/s; As for 2G networks such as GSM, it is only 14.4kbit/s. ”
"Our existing streaming technology has been able to achieve real-time smooth radio broadcasting at the level of CD sound quality on a 28Kbit/s network."
"If the network bandwidth is more ideal, streaming technology can achieve acceptable video transmission."
Klaus Schwab couldn't help but marvel, "This streaming technology is so magical." ”
"The principle is to put it bluntly, but it's actually simple." Tang Huan smiled slightly, "After the media data is compressed according to a certain mathematical algorithm, it is encapsulated into small information packets, rather than the whole, and sent like flowing water, so that the client can play and receive it through the buffering mechanism, so as to achieve instant results." ”
Speaking of this, Tang Huan turned to ask: "Now various companies and institutions are actively building World Wide Web websites - does the World Economic Forum have any intention to do this?" ”
"Is it difficult to implement?" Klaus Schwab asked rhetorically with interest.
Tang Huan laughed loudly, "I think it shouldn't be too difficult for me!" ”
Klaus Schwab shook his head with a smirk, "I knowingly asked." ”
……
The richest man intends to slow down his trip in Europe, but the "Chang'an City" in the United States still has news that shocks him.
After various activities, Lee Teng-gray's plan to visit Cornell University in the United States was finally fulfilled -- from 7 June to 12 June, he visited Cornell University in the United States on a private itinerary and delivered a public speech.
As a result, Lee Teng Gray, who stopped on the west coast of the United States on the way, went to Silicon Valley and visited a small company set up there by several treasure island entrepreneurs; Then, knowing that the male host was not at home, he still visited "Chang'an City" and said, "Mr. Tang is the uncle of Baodao, and he should move around often."
Tang Huan couldn't help but burst into foul language in annoyance - this old guy went crazy with his reputation in order to be successfully re-elected!
In 1964, Lee Teng Gray won a joint scholarship from the Rockefeller Agricultural Economics Association and Cornell University, so he went to Cornell University in 1965 to study for a doctorate in agricultural economics. He did not receive his Ph.D. in agricultural economics until 1968.
It is precisely on the basis of this origin that Lee Teng-ash began planning a trip to Cornell University last year. To this end, he threw millions of dollars and hired Cassidy, a highly powerful political ~ political lobbying company, to help him with public relations.
There are roughly three categories of forms of political lobbying that exist in the United States – direct lobbying, proxy lobbying, and indirect lobbying.
Direct lobbying is an organization that collects membership dues from organizations such as the American Farmers Association, the American Federation of Manufacturers, and the Rifle Association, and directly states that it represents the interests of its members and their industries or circles.
Agency lobbying is that the client pays to entrust a public relations company in the form of a law firm, a political ~ governance public relations company, a policy strategy company, etc., to achieve the goal with a set of professional methods and social networks.
Indirect lobbying is to exert influence through resources such as public opinion and contacts that seem to be neutral think tanks that publish some research reports with tendencies.
Cassidy, who was invited by Lee Teng Gray at a high price, is an agent lobby and has a pivotal position in the industry.
Founded in January 1975 and headquartered in Washington, the company's founder and owner, Jared Cassidy, served as chief counsel to the U.S. Senate Committee on Nutrition and Humanitarian Needs from 1969 to 1973 and as legal counsel to the U.S. Democratic~Orthodox National Committee from 1974 to 1975.
There are countless complex "rules" for political lobbying, and Jared Cassidy's legal credentials are up for it.
He brought some former politicians in the United States to serve as the backbone of the company, and created four big lobbyists - in addition to himself, there is also Powell, the White House press secretary during the Carter administration~ administration; Ford, a defense official during the Reagan administration~administration and an expert on Chinese affairs at the Central ~Central Intelligence Agency; Ted, press secretary of former U.S. President Ronald Reagan's wife Nancy.
With a deep and special background, Cassidy has established close relationships with American academia, major news outlets, and major civil society organizations, and in turn exerts influence on U.S. government officials and members of Congress.
The power of Cassidy, which is one of the top in the American public relations industry, can be seen from the tens of millions of dollars in turnover generated by the business it has taken over, and these talkers also earn a lot of money. For example, Jared Cassidy earns $760,000 a year and Powell earns $480,000.
Last year, Lee Teng-ash asked his confidant, Liu Taiying, the "big treasurer," to set up a "comprehensive research institute" known as the "underground Ministry of Foreign Affairs" to conduct public relations in the United States, and as a result, he signed a three-year contract with Cassidy at a price of $1.5 million a year to help him with his activities.
You must know that the representative of Baodao in the United States hires a public relations company in the United States, which is about $80,000 a year.
It can be seen from this that Lee Teng-gray has put a lot of effort into it.
After Cassidy got the money, he began to do things for his employer, and lobbied up and down to lobby the White House, the State Department, and Congress, especially the members of the US Congress, their families, and assistants, to exert key influence.
In the end, Cassidy got 76 senators and 37 members of the House of Representatives, and they jointly invited Lee Teng gray to visit the United States; instigated the Senate and the House of Representatives to pass bills respectively, demanding that the Clinton Administration~ Government agree to Lee Teng-gray's visit to the United States; More than 200 media outlets across the United States were planned to publish editorials in support of Lee Teng-gray's visit to the United States.
Originally, the U.S. State Department, which was well aware of China's attitude, strongly opposed it, and even U.S. Secretary of State Warren Christopher once expressed to China in an informal way that the United States did not support Lee Teng-gray's visit to the United States. But it couldn't stand the big movement of Cassidy's company, so the US State Department, under pressure from Congress and media opinion, submitted the hot potato of whether to approve it to the White House for President Bill Clinton to decide.
On 22 May, the US State Department announced that President Clinton had agreed to allow Lee Teng to enter the United States on a private visit to attend Cornell University Alumni Association activities as a distinguished alumnus.
In this way, the practice of visiting the United States by the top officials of Baodao has not been broken for nearly 17 years.
After Lee Teng-gray arrived at Cornell University, he delivered a public speech entitled "Whatever the people want, grow in my heart" -- the purpose of this trip can be said to have been achieved.
Tang Huan, who knew all this, originally just wanted to watch the play, but he never expected that Li Denghui suddenly went to his number one mansion and went around, and was immediately hyped by the media.
In the more than a year of activities, Lee Teng Gray once said that he thought of the richest man's Silicon Valley site "visiting the door"; This year, after confirming his attendance at Russia's "5.9" celebration, Tang Huan naturally declined.
Unexpectedly, Lee Teng Gray actually came uninvited.
Tang Huan frowned and pondered - this Nima is going to make trouble!
If you ask the world, apart from Li Denghui himself, who else knows what he really wants to do, then Tang Huan will definitely be ranked first.
Just like Li Denghui's "Uncle Treasure Island", think about how much prestige can Tang Huan bring to Tang Huan just because of the world-famous Deng Lijun and Lin Qingfang's two daughters?
And this is just a superficial help, coupled with Tang Huan's steady operation in the political and economic circles for many years, it is not difficult to imagine how much power the richest man has in the small treasure island.
Lee Teng-gray will certainly quietly divide the party he is currently working for, and he will naturally have to break down any "glue."
Therefore, looking at the relevant information gathered in his hands, Tang Huan, who has been walking the rivers and lakes for many years, will not believe that Li Dengshen went to "Chang'an City" to go around just to help him be re-elected to brush up his prestige, and there must be an insidious purpose in it.
The high-tech industry is of great significance to the economy of Baodao, especially the source of foreign exchange, and Tang Huan's investment has almost started from the initial stage of Baodao's high-tech industry, and the relationship between them can be said to be extremely deep.
At the present stage, the general situation of international capital is that the United States has not only pushed the exchange rate of the yen against the dollar to less than 100:1, and even reached an unprecedented level of 80:1, but has also easily forced the exchange rate of the new Taiwan dollar against the US dollar from the range of nearly 40:1 to about 25:1 at present.
On the other hand, due to various reasons, the exchange rate of the renminbi against the US dollar has been maintained in the range of more than 8.27 yuan.
In this case, even Baodao Capital can't resist the urge to go to the mainland, let alone the richest man.
Therefore, Tang Huan can't use the greatest malice to infer that Li Denghui wants to use the most customary backbone of "forcing Liangshan" in "Water Margin", and use this investment contrast to create an incident in his most fundamental high-tech industry, forcing Mr. The richest man to make a clear statement.
If he gets what he wants, then Lee Teng Gray will make a lot of money; If he was rejected, Tang Huan would undoubtedly pull hatred on Treasure Island.
In this regard, Mr. the richest man, who has always been good at protecting himself, is very angry - Xiangjiang's example is not obvious enough, don't use me as a bargaining chip to make trouble, otherwise, the consequences will be very serious!
……
On 13 June, Lee Teng-gray returned to the island from the United States, and he was greeted by a surge of prestige -- after all, he broke the practice of not visiting the United States by the top official of the island for nearly 17 years.
Think about it, when Deng Lijun was treated as a victim of collective catharsis of loss because of a so-called "fake passport" incident, you can know how much Baodao cares about this.
Although on the surface Lee Teng-gray has the appearance of a master of the Tao who has planned and managed everything calmly, in his heart he is indescribably proud -- his trip to the United States is really worth killing birds with one stone, and he has worked hard for more than a year in vain.
After he had almost gotten tired of hearing the compliments of his subordinates, Lee Teng-ash unhurriedly asked what was the reaction on the mainland.
When he heard the "no reaction" report, Lee Deng waved his hand in a discouraged manner -- the news that Lian Zhan was going to visit Europe could be exposed.
This finally poked the hornet's nest, and China began to make political ~ political statements. On June 16, it was announced that the ambassador to the United States, Li ~ Daoyu, would be recalled to express dissatisfaction with the United States; At the same time, the communication channels with Baodao were closed, and the original plans for the Jiao-Tang talks and the second Gu~Wang talks were all postponed.
Li Denghui didn't care about this, he just called his close confidant Liu Taiying to inquire - what was Tang Huan's reaction?
Still, there was no response.
When Li Dengshen got this answer, he couldn't help muttering in his heart - it shouldn't be!
You must know that Lee Teng-gray's trip to the United States has created enough momentum in the media, and he has turned around in "Chang'an City", which naturally has also encircled Tang Huan -- the title of "Uncle Baodao" of the richest man has suddenly spread loudly after many years.
This time and the previous complete gossip, there is a clear difference, but under the deliberate promotion, political ~ governance expectations have been added. After all, the identity and status of the parties are more important than before.
Seeing his boss with a look of disappointment, Liu Taiying hurriedly added: "This trend will not fade so easily, kill Tang Huan, it's decided." ”
"Now some media have made a comparison, and Li Yuanzhe, the 1986 Nobel Prize winner in chemistry who was awarded the National Medal of Science in the same year as Tang Huan, has returned to Baodao and actively participated in the affairs of his hometown, how can 'Uncle Baodao' be vague."
Li Denghui immediately laughed in understanding, "This is what the people want!" ”
"That's not all." Liu Taiying continued to report: "The more and more active Li Ao just said - Tang Huan has made so much money from Treasure Island over the years, he can't really make a fortune quietly, he should express his opinion." ”
Li Dengshen could not hide his gloating feelings and said, "I pinched ...... well."
"And there's more." Seeing that the boss was full of interest, Liu Taiying offered a treasure here: "It is no secret that Tang Huan has a deep relationship with the Wang family. And the eldest young master of the Wang family, who has always regarded you as an idol, also urged Tang Huan to express his opinion. ”
Li Denghui nodded when he heard this, "This momentum is well built - if Tang Huan stands on our side, it will be like a tiger with wings; Otherwise, it will make him infamous on Treasure Island, and there will be one less potential resistance. ”
