The meeting on Putley Island has definitely been the focus of countless media attention in both the East and the West lately, yet everything that happens here seems mysterious. On the second day of the pen ~ fun ~ cabinet www.biquge.info meeting, the invited bigwigs left through various means of transportation, I thought that so many people attended the meeting, and how many bigwigs couldn't help but reveal some content, but the final result was very disappointing.

In the end, the media only knew that Apple, Microsoft, Google, Huawei, Alibaba, Amazon and other corporate bigwigs stayed until the end, and no one knew what they talked about at the meeting, and no one knew what these bigwigs talked about after staying on the island for so long.

Of course, it's not that there is no tone at all, for example, after attending the island meeting, a certain Internet social software boss left a sentence on the company's own homepage of the company's products, "It's going to change!" ”

This sentence is naturally very reverie, but behind the media rush to report is the lack of truly valuable information, because no one knows when and how the sky will change.

But the astute media spotted something out of the ordinary.

First of all, after the news came out that Microsoft held an emergency board meeting, it was suddenly announced that it was expected to be held in mid-March, and the largest Microsoft Build2020 developer conference that would last for five days was suddenly canceled, and it was not expected to be held at the time, and all developers and media invited to the conference received the news of the cancellation of the meeting.

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the Internet suddenly became lively. Microsoft's cancellation of the developer conference was coincidental, just a few days after Stephen returned from Putley Island, and combined with Zach Berg's previous tweet, "It's going to be a change!" "Everyone felt a chill.

You must know that the Microsoft Build2020 developer conference is Microsoft's most important event in 2020, according to Microsoft's previous news, the new version of windows announced at this conference will make people's jaws drop, and it is said that a new generation of intelligent operating system will be grandly launched at the conference.

Not to mention that in addition to the routine programmer reports, new product displays and other activities, this conference has also added a lot of Microsoft long-prepared concept product display, and it is even said that many of these concept products can be included in the ranks of black technology, and the media has sworn that this conference will be a prosperous scene of technological innovation, and Microsoft will create a brilliant return of the king.

Even if we don't talk about these virtual things, Microsoft's annual developer conference is an important festival for countless Microsoft fans every year, and it is also a day that countless developers around Microsoft products look forward to every year. What is this trying to do? Aren't you afraid of breaking the hearts of your fans?

However, before the media and countless Microsoft fans could recover from this shocking news, and even before they had time to verify what was going on and whether it was a boring joke, another bombshell news struck, and Apple's spring new product launch conference scheduled for mid-March was also canceled.

This news was also not announced with much fanfare, but was directly revealed by Apple to the media that had been invited and the selected fruit fans, and more people could not be calm. Although Apple's news is more euphemistic, it doesn't say too much, just that the date of the conference may be postponed and the time is to be determined, but this is also confusing.

What's going on? Even if Microsoft is willful, Apple will follow suit? What is the purpose of these high-tech companies in the United States suddenly becoming collectively willful? In order to create momentum for this spring product launch conference, Apple hired people to send advertorials and advertisements, what subverting cognition of wearable smart products, what leads Apple's new development direction in the future, the news has not been broken, this is good, there are almost more than 20 days before the conference, and it was suddenly announced that it would be postponed.

Could it be that at this critical moment, Tim Cook pinched his fingers with the master and found that the previously scheduled date of the press conference was not an auspicious day for the zodiac, so he had to change the date?

But even if Nima doesn't give the reason for changing the day, he has to make it clear when it will be changed, right? Isn't it afraid of falling stock prices if you are so capricious?

In fact, the stock prices of the two companies really fell sharply, which made all investors feel inexplicable.

Just when people all over the world were speculating about why these two companies were pumping at the same time, another mixed news swept in, and many of the world's top network operators suddenly began to unify their pace and launched global layoffs. It's just a layoff, and what's even more strange is that this layoff is not a front-line service staff, but a large number of mid-polar technical business backbones.

When the news broke, the whole world was about to be tortured and crazy. Is it really good to play dumb riddles like this? Now that the world has just worked together to get through the financial crisis, although the economic situation is not saying that it is good, it is also developing in a good direction, what the hell is it that suddenly such a large-scale layoff?

What's more, according to past experience, even layoffs are the first to suffer from those low-level service personnel, this time everyone actually did the opposite, directly laying off the company's backbone structure, those middle-level technical personnel? Although these people are not so obvious, they are the indispensable skeleton of the company!

What is it that makes such a completely unconventional play?

The media carefully analyzed the companies that announced the layoffs, most of which were national network operators who had been invited to the Putley Island meeting. Of course, the media also found operators who also attended the Putley Island meeting but had not yet started the layoff action, but it was only a small part, which is interesting.

Of course, even those network operators who have not yet taken any action have begun to spread rumors and people's hearts are fluctuating. After all, so many people were suddenly laid off, and they were all technical personnel, even if these companies did not lay off people, salary cuts were absolutely indispensable. There are a lot of people competing with each other.

Before the news was fully digested, there was once again shocking news from California, Laura Space Systems, a well-known satellite and detector system manufacturing company in the industry, suddenly announced that the SkyMuster II satellite they built for Australia would not continue to be built and launched, due to the suspension of the contract by the Australian side.

This is another earthquake.

Laura Space Systems is one of the world's largest and most well-known satellite manufacturers.

The company began manufacturing satellites in the Soviet-era era, the year Sputnik was launched in the country that has disappeared from history, and now in 2020 it has built nearly two hundred communications satellites, 98 of which are still operating in space today.

The SkyMuster II satellite, which they were commissioned by the four major operators Eutelsat, Inmarsat, Intelsat and SES, is particularly noteworthy because it is not only the largest satellite they have built, but also the largest satellite in the world so far, all erected more than 10 meters tall, with extremely complex mirror arrays and extra-long solar panels. Complex arrays of antennas and mirrors provide more data on Earth.

The satellite, which has been widely talked about for a long time, costs $350 million and will be tasked with providing broadband communications to Australia's sparsely populated areas. Obviously, major operators are not willing to invest too much in these areas to lay out terrestrial networks.

Seeing that the world's largest satellite, which is about to take shape, is about to take shape and provide services in the sky, but now it suddenly announced the suspension of work, which has caused countless people to be dumbfounded.

Capricious, too capricious, more than 300 million is wasted, and it is wasted when it is about to be completed, and it is wasted when a little launch cost is invested, and the enterprise is not short of money.

In other words, a satellite that can't go to the sky, even if it is the largest satellite in the world that has made history, what is the difference between it and salted fish? Well, there are some differences, at least salted fish can still be eaten, this thing, it doesn't seem to be useful on the ground.

The concept stocks of related companies fell off a cliff again, making countless investors dumbfounded, and countless Wall Street financial experts were collectively in a state of confusion, and they didn't know what this was going to do.

Terrible, just terrible, what's really going on behind the barrage of punch combinations? The parties concerned kept their mouths shut, no one said anything, and everyone seemed to be doing their own things in a muffled voice, ignoring the public opinion on the Internet, which was close to boiling.

In the words of a well-known host, if it weren't for the fact that it wasn't yet March, she would have thought that the craziest April Fool's Day in history would have begun.

However, this is not over, the crazy news continues to be exposed one after another by the media that has been stimulated to the point of madness.

Star Group acquired 4.9 percent of Intel's equity and became Intel's second largest shareholder, Star Group acquired 4.9 percent of AMD's equity and became AMD's second largest shareholder, Star Group acquired 4.9 percent of Sony's equity and became Sony's third largest shareholder, and Star Group acquired 4.9 percent of Toshiba's equity......

For a while, the Star Group seemed to have suddenly turned into a capital predator, waving checks and smashing all over the world, of course, it is still targeted, these companies at least belong to the same high-tech category, and they all have some world-leading technologies.

Of course, no one believes that this is a coincidence, and if these acquisitions are completed in the secondary market, it is naturally impossible to complete them in the short term without affecting the value of the shares, and it is clear that these companies have agreements with Star Group.

Countless curious media people are going crazy, what is really going on on the island? Why is it just a day's work, and the whole world feels like it's not the same as before?

Just when everyone was asking about this, there was once again a boiling news that more than a dozen world-class logistics companies such as FedEx, Maersk Group, Ryder Systems, *** Express, Pan Albana, Amazon, and Ant Logistics will join forces with Star Group to build a logistics network known as "one-day delivery" covering the whole world.

When this news came out, countless media people sighed that the world was really going to change.

Who would have thought that these express delivery companies would suddenly play jointly? Can this still give other small logistics companies room to eat? Not to mention the worldwide "one-day delivery" network, how much chaos does this have to add to the customs of various countries?

And hidden under this exciting news, some subtle changes have also been discovered by the media, only covered up by these exciting news, but also caused a sensation in some small areas.

For example, many well-known software companies, such as Google, such as Oracle, and even Microsoft, Apple's first-class software engineers have begun to sign up for various crash courses in Chinese learning, and their learning methods are also very strange, first of all, they are required to learn the meaning of about a hundred Chinese phrases, and they are required to be able to use the Chinese input method to type these square words as quickly as possible.

There is even a Danale who has developed a Chinese-English input method that is widely circulated among these top programmers. Another example is that the United States and some European countries are studying the inclusion of Chinese in the compulsory curriculum of primary and secondary schools, and the plan is still being formulated, and it may be implemented within this year at the earliest......

For example, the day before they were working in a restaurant outside the school to earn living expenses, they suddenly received a call from their mentor, asking him if he was interested in helping a few friends tutor Chinese, of course he would give money, and the remuneration was very good, after all, the professor's friends were naturally not bad for money......

The changes in life began from here, although the small goal of 100 million yuan is still out of reach, but at least the money earned is much more than working in a restaurant, at least the accommodation environment can be changed, the online shopping cart has been emptied, and the most important thing is that his status in the eyes of the mentor seems to have improved.

All the sudden changes have caught many people off guard, and many people are full of curiosity, all these changes obviously point to everything that happened on Putley Island, but unfortunately the American prisoners of war have been released back to the United States as scheduled, and the 24-hour live broadcast of prisoner of war life on the island every day has also been suspended, and the only way for everyone to explore and understand this mysterious island has been cut off.

Microsoft President Stephen and Apple President Tim Cook announced their resignation from their respective companies on the same day, and Star Group also delivered a welcome speech on the official website on the same day, announcing that two heavyweights will settle in the Star Group System Software Division and serve as President of the Star Group System Software Division and Global Vice President.

Nima, do you want to play like this? Could it be that Apple's board of directors is appointing the company's president, and has forgotten to sign a contract that refuses to be poached? (To be continued.) )
