Chapter 632: Politics and the Internet
"Unexpectedly, we met again. (.”
This is the second time Zhang Ning has met with Obama.
Obama in 2003 did not have the power of a later generation when he was president of the United States.
As a congressman from Illinois, Obama doesn't look like a politician right now.
"So it seems that Zhang Ning already knew that we would meet again?"
Following Buffett's advice, Obama chose a time and asked Zhang Ning to have coffee together.
"Oh, by the way, I seem to understand, when you gave a speech at Harvard that day, what you said at that time was actually deliberately saying that I listened?"
Obama figured it out all of a sudden, and at this moment, he became more interested in Zhang Ning.
Zhang Ning didn't know whether it was okay or not, he didn't shake his head, and he didn't nod.
"Mr. Obama, I don't know if you usually go online."
"Occasionally, as you know, I don't have a lot of time online."
"I think you can often go online in the future, and even start your real-name blog."
"Real-name blogging?"
Obama checked Zhang Ning's information.
I was shocked that Zhang Ning founded a very promising Internet company in his freshman year.
It's just that Obama shook his head about Zhang Ning's suggestion of going online more in the future and even opening a real-name blog, "Zhang Ning, the Internet is a product of new students, although he has attracted many people." However, he is virtual after all. Ordinary people may be able to entertain online, but we are not too suitable. ”
"No, no, Mr. Obama, I recommend that you use the Internet more in the future, but I don't want you to go online for entertainment. As you said, although the Internet is virtual, you also know that in fact, this virtual Internet is also composed of real human beings. Every sentence on it, every message on it, is a real citizen. I don't think you can use the Internet as a tool for you to communicate with your citizens. ”
"I'm afraid it won't work."
Obama did not think about such an idea at all, "using the Internet to communicate with citizens, it seems too casual." ”
"It's not casual at all."
Zhang Ning shook his head.
"Mr. Obama, technology is constantly evolving. On the phone, in the newspaper, on the TV...... Under the launch of other technology products, a lot of our work, including the way we communicate with the people, has slowly shifted. If you want to explain it to the people, there is no doubt that it is the quickest and most effective way to convey it to all the people through guò television. In the past, before there was a TV, would you think of using something as random as TV to post information? In the same way, the Internet is also a product of technology, why, you don't want to try it. ”
"Looks like it makes sense."
Mr. Obama was silent, but he still had some concerns, "I know what you mean, you want to use the Internet as a window between the government and the people." In this window, we can contact the people, and the people can also learn more about the content of the policy through this window. ”
"Yes, you're going to run for the House of Representatives at this time. If you want the people to support you, to let the people know about you, and to let them fully support your slogan, then the Internet will undoubtedly be more competitive than other competitors. ”
"I know, but not a single politician in the world has ever tried to do that."
"In other words, do you think that this may not be useful, or that the Internet is too virtual, and communicating or connecting with the people on it is not beneficial for your bills, rules, and implementation?"
"Not only that, perhaps, but it may be worse, there are some netizens who are estimated to continue to attack."
"Mr. Obama, you must not think like that. After all, there are a few netizens who attack people, not to mention the Internet, in reality, there are still few people who maliciously attack the country and attack the government? As for the usefulness of worrying, as I said before, the virtual Internet is made up of real citizens. As long as you truly think about the citizens and truly serve the whole country, then, I believe, you will be supported by countless people. ”
Politics and the Internet can be connected.
Although in later generations, there are not too many politicians who use the Internet all the time.
However, Obama of the United States, he is an exception.
In later generations, Obama even used the Internet to win the 2008 U.S. presidential election.
At this time, Zhang Ning was just giving Obama early access to the Internet.
"I think you should be able to give it a try."
"Well, what you said makes me feel very excited, I'll think about it."
Obama nodded, "By the way, Zhang Ning, do you also want to ask me for help?" ”
"Huh, how do you know?"
Zhang Ning has something strange.
He wanted Obama to help, but it seems that he never spoke to Obama.
"Hehe, Mr. Buffett recommended you to me."
"I see."
As soon as he talked about Buffett, Zhang Ning understood.
It seems that although Buffett said that he would not help himself, he introduced himself to Obama, which can be regarded as a great help.
Inherit Buffett's love in my heart, and have the opportunity to help Buffett back in the future.
"Yes, I do have one thing I want to trouble you."
Since Obama mentioned this, Zhang Ning stopped squirming and said directly, "I hope you can help me keep Bruce." ”
"That's it, no problem."
Without thinking about it, Obama agreed, "It's not difficult, and besides, Bruce is a student at Harvard, and although Quincy hates Bruce, he won't mess around." Moreover, Quincy does not represent the Phoenix Club. But don't worry, I'll go there and say hello to Quincy myself. ”
"I'm much more relieved."
……
Separated from Zhang Ning, Obama returned home.
"Start a blog."
Looking at the Yahoo blog feature, Obama remembered the construction that Zhang Ning gave himself in the afternoon.
Although Obama still has some worries in his heart, Obama is also an open-minded man. After thinking about it for a while, no matter what the result is, I have to give it a try. At that moment, Obama started his own private blog through the official website of Guò Yahoo. In addition, a real-name authentication was also opened through the Yahoo administrator.
"What to write?"
Looking at the empty blog, Obama was ready to write some journals.
Although it is okay to keep a diary, it seems that writing this thing does not seem to be of much use.
It's better to write about work.
Obama's job is, of course, the government's office.
As a congressman, Obama's work is generally unknown to ordinary people.
Of course, Obama also knows that many people are likely to be interested in their work.
To this end, Obama slowly introduced some of the contents that were not in the classified file.
Ladies and gentlemen, I'm Barack Obama, and I'm a congressman from the state of Illinois.
A lot of people are interested in me as a member of parliament.
Well, I'll talk to you about it.
As everyone thinks, in fact, parliamentarians are also a job.
So, what does my job do?
To put it simply, it is to give advice to the parliament and participate in the formulation of various laws and regulations...... Wait.
