In fact, before the official announcement, these two research results were already very eye-catching in the small circle. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

For example, among the patients who received cocktail therapy was a very famous NBA star Irvin Johnson Jr., nicknamed "Magic Johnson". On November 7, 1991, he shocked the American people by announcing to the public that he had contracted AIDS and would retire from the army soon after.

Tang Huan's research institute was involved in this field very early, and the cocktail therapy naturally came out in a big way ahead of schedule - it was too much fun, and the magician Johnson, who won the bid, became a test in a hurry, and the treatment effect was quite good.

The biggest proof is that Magic Johnson participated in the 1992 NBA All-Star Game, served as the main guard, led the West Coast Stars, defeated the East Coast Stars by 40 points, and won the Most Valuable Player of the game; Then he was selected as the "Dream Team" and went to the Barcelona Olympics.

Confident in his physical fitness, Magic Johnson made a huge splash after his triumphant return from Barcelona and announced his comeback. The reason for this is that the status of the stadium is empty, and the key is that other players are afraid of his illness.

Many NBA stars, including Michael Jordan, have remained silent, with only Karl Malone speaking out.

It wasn't until the start of the 1992-1993 season, in the last warm-up game of the Los Angeles Lakers, that Magic Johnson had a small wound on his arm and bled out, which scared the other players into nervously keeping their distance, that Magic Johnson realized that this was not the time to be the same and had to give up the idea of making a comeback.

In short, Magic Johnson's illness was perfectly controlled by cocktail therapy, and he could have continued to play if it weren't for the fear of AIDS — an ad that would have made cocktail therapy a widely accepted cure.

In terms of genetic engineering, since the 1970s, the competition in research has become increasingly fierce, especially the increasing performance of computers, which has played a supporting role.

The world's first genetically modified rooster is a milestone that will be followed by research on cloning sheep.

The "007" series of movies "Clone Crisis" released the year before last, and the currently popular "Jurassic Park" are all helping to hype the concept of genetic engineering from the side.

It doesn't matter if you have different opinions on this, the more intense the debate, the hotter the concept, and the more resources can be attracted; It is the terrorism represented by Ted Kaczynski that has the most negative effect.

Fortunately, Ted Kaczynski's anti-human industrial civilization manifesto, "On Industrial Society and Its Future", was not published by the authoritative media, and he himself was dissected by the media as a poor and hateful person with a high IQ but psychological problems.

Now, the American people are more interested in gossip such as how this elusive genius bomber was found out, to whom the richest man offered a huge reward of $1 million, and to hell with the so-called relationship between mankind and industrial civilization.

In fact. Tang Huan did not "secret" the $1 million, but casually set up a related charitable fund and donated it.

The funny thing is that the $1 million that Summer-Ray Shidong gave to clear the relationship can't find a recipient.

Otherwise, this person is a man who cannot be compared with Barry Diller, and in the face of the strange eyes of the media, he can come to visit Mr. the richest man and directly express his attitude - who did you give $1 million, and I will give it $1 million!

The richest man was busy preparing his speech, and he didn't have time to step on this landmine, and after humming for a while, he sent it away.

Subsequently, Summers Lei Shidong told reporters without exaggeration: "Tang is really a very charismatic person as rumored, and I am deeply sorry for the inappropriate remarks made because I didn't know him before." ”

......While the outside world couldn't laugh at this, Summer-Lei Shidong was 100% cleared of the relationship, restored his business reputation, and then had the energy to adjust his chaotic financial situation, so much so that he dared to ask his wife - the ruined girls who would make a mess are still divorced or not.

As soon as U.S. President Bill Clinton took office, he drastically reshaped American society according to the ideals of liberal~free. These include raising taxes on the wealthy, carrying out various major political ~ government programs, allowing same-sexual~ people to serve openly in the military, reforming the medical and health insurance system, etc., which caused a strong backlash from conservatives, and the situation can be described as chaotic.

As a sign of a clear setback, the openness of homo~sexual orientation in the U.S. military challenged tradition, and in the face of strong opposition from the right wing and the military, Bill Clinton announced on July 19 that "Don't_ask, don't_tell" -- "don't ask, don't talk" as a compromise.

Fortunately, the commercial use of NSFNET, the backbone network built by the National Science Foundation for inter-university interconnection, promised by Bill Clinton and Al Gore to the richest man is going well, and it is just a formality of congressional hearings.

The reason why this link is described as easy is because at this stage, both houses of the US Congress are controlled by the Democratic ~ Main Party ~ hands, and Bill Collinton, a Democratic ~ Main Party member, is the current president, and the adoption is basically a certainty.

It is not difficult to see from this how radical Bill Clinton's administration has been, and it has hit a wall even though he has single-handedly covered the sky.

Although it stands to reason that this process will be very simple, after all, there are many strange things here in the United States, and Congress is no exception, Tang Huan still cautiously made special and serious preparations.

In this way, the richest man and the new chairman of the board of directors, CEO and president of Hewlett-Packard, Louis Pratt, chairman of the board of directors of Intel, Gordon Moore, and other business leaders, as well as some computer academic elites, came to the U.S. Capitol building on Capitol Hill in the Washington D.C. District.

Tang Huan looked around and felt that the number of congressmen present was slightly larger, and it was estimated that in addition to specialized agencies such as the Science and Technology Committee, there were other parliamentarians present.

Other than that. Some members of the public who had their applications approved also came to observe the hearing.

First, the National Science Foundation reported on the operation of NSFNET since its inception - several times the bandwidth has been significantly increased, showing the vigorous development of Internet applications.

Then, the richest man gave a speech as an industry leader and interest representative.

Tang Huan's meticulous preparation also had something to do with the fact that Chinese rarely appeared on such occasions - the recognized beginning of this was on February 18, 1943, when the Meiling lady called on all walks of life in the United States to support China's anti-Japanese war.

The content of his speech, starting from the current industry data analysis, referring to the successful cases of the past, and looking forward to the broad prospects of the future, was elaborated for about 10 minutes.

The richest man who did not carry any shorthand materials, the style of swaying freely and directing the country, first fascinated the auditors and burst into warm applause.

In the Q&A session, Tang Huan became the absolute center, and even faced some almost marginal questions.

For example, a congressman asked, "Don, will your best-selling book "The Rise of Great Powers" continue to be written?" ”

Speaking of which, the "Rise of Great Powers" published by Mr. The Richest Man early on hinted at the end of the Soviet Union, but no one paid attention to it at the time, and recently it was "recalled" in a way that seemed to be over-interpreted, which has to be attributed to the convenience of communication on the collision of brain holes brought about by the rapid development of the Internet.

The reason why Tang Huan cut off "The Rise of a Great Power" at the beginning was because he had the interest of opening up the global market at that time, but now there is no need for that.

So, Mr. The richest man replied seriously and frankly: "When "The Rise of a Great Power" was published, it was already finished. If you're interested in this work, you can follow my upcoming book on the future of digital technology. And I can also attach my own signature whenever you need it. ”

Tang Huan's humor drew laughter, but digression still occurs from time to time.

For another example, someone asked seriously: "Tang, how do you make moves against your competitors?" ”

"Do you mean the people who quarreled with me?" The richest man cleverly avoided the important and said lightly: "When I came back from this business trip, Summerer Lei Shidong seemed to like to like debating with me. At a recent meeting, he said that I was not at all like Darth Vader, because I was not as cool as Darth Vader, and that I was so boring to speak, and even breathed the earthly air, that I had no character at all. ”

This time, it was the first members of Congress who burst into laughter.

And so, on a bizarre route that was sometimes serious, sometimes off-track, the hearing came to an end, and on the surface it did seem to be easy.

At one point, Louis Pratt smiled and said to the richest man: "Don, it seems that the rumor is not unfounded?" ”

"What rumors?" Tang Huan asked casually.

"Haven't you heard of it through your channels?" Louis Pratt asked in surprise, "It's the federal government~ government that wants to hire you to serve business and trade." ”

HP, which has recently become more and more focused on RISC microprocessors and servers, is not limited to the computer field. Like Motorola, it has undertaken many US defense projects, but the business done with the government ~ government, although extremely important, is often deliberately ignored by public opinion.

More than ten years after the original time and space, Motorola was split in two. The media just hyped how it sold itself to Google, was sucked out of the essence of patents, and then sold to China's Lenovo, and the situation was so miserable that it was not wanted; But in fact, this Motorola is only the mobile device division of the old Motorola, responsible for the consumer-level product line, and the Motorola solution that gets the enterprise-level product line is the real successor of the old Motorola, which is divided into the government~government and public safety departments and cellular mobile infrastructure departments of the previous company.

These veteran companies have a deep political background, and even David Puckerd, one of the co-founders of Hewlett-Packard, also served as the deputy secretary of defense in the Nixon cabinet.

Therefore, Louis Pratt's gossip is extremely credible.

However, Mr. the richest man did get some rumors through his own channels. After all, whether it is Bush Sr. or Clinton, he is betting on the right treasure, and even perceives the relevant background checks and political ~ governance audits made by the federal government ~ government on him.

"I said why the members of Congress who are here today seem to be a bit much, and even the questions are all kinds and almost off-topic, and it turns out that there is a purpose for the investigation." The richest man shook his head with a smile and said playfully: "Actually, during the Bush presidency, I received a similar temptation, but at that time, I really couldn't get out of the busy business affairs, so I politely declined." ”

"If Don can accept such an offer, it will be good news for the whole of Silicon Valley." Louis Pratt earnestly advised: "Take the 'millennium bug' problem you raised as an example, the global business opportunities it provides are unimaginable, but it requires industry leaders to communicate with the actual managers of each market, all kinds of governments~, to really open up." ”

"There's no urgency." Mr. the richest man waved his hand, "The Uruguay round of negotiations on the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade is in full swing, and it is estimated that it will produce results next year." At that time, international trade barriers will be further eliminated, and market development should be much less labor-saving than before. ”

"But for now, it is urgent to make the backbone of the Internet grow strong as soon as possible."

Seeing that Tang Huanzhi was not here, Louis Pratt couldn't help but show a look of disappointment on his face.

In fact, I have to say one more thing -- the rivers and lakes are deep.

On the surface, Tang Huan was elected by everyone as a representative of the political interests of the IT industry, so as to lead everyone to make a fortune together from a higher level; But there is no lack of conspiracy in the secret, that is, I hope that the richest man can take more thoughts from business - Gain, you are too focused, and everyone is under a lot of competitive pressure!

Tang Huan is wise and martial, wise as the sea, how could he not perceive this yin wind?

It's just that the mystery of the rare confusion of Eastern philosophy lies in this -- let's drag it out and see what happens.

……

Shortly after the hearing, NSFNET, the National Science Foundation, was successfully approved and officially converted to commercial use within the year.

This news has further clarified the prospects for the development of the Internet, which has triggered a further turmoil.
