Chapter 49 The Young King in the White House(1/2)
Bush Jr. is a guy who doesn't know much about technology. If it weren't for 9/11, he didn't even appoint a scientific consultant, and then his MIT director adviser would only report to the White House chief of staff. He could only talk about the hardships of governance in front of these big names in the technology industry, and also talk about some unharmed but interesting secrets. Fortunately, Sikong Ling often scattered the main points and talked about what he was interested in, including lifting the ethical restrictions on cloning technology, which aroused strong opposition from the president and his wife and the Jobs.
Sikong Ling talked about the "Stair of Eternal Life". No matter how hard he tried to persuade the president not to delay the progress of American biological science, he still could not shake Bush's determination in the end. It seems that he did not advocate religion because of politics. This is really helpless. Jobs is even a guy who believes in traditional Chinese medicine and witch doctors. Although he was selected as an academician of the American Academy of Engineering because he jointly invented a personal computer, he did not have a scientific worldview in his bones. He did not believe that vigorously developing science will bring happiness to mankind. Mrs. Qiao is the founder of an organic food company. Sikong Ling also complained about organic food. Give up modern planting technology purely to suffer. High prices and low quality are the consensus of the scientific community on organic food. Since the great California people do not allow the product to be labeled with the [non-GMO food], the [organic food] should also be prohibited.
Gates said that he is not very interested in the development of biotechnology. With current technology, it can greatly improve the quality of life of civilians in many poor countries, so this is a charitable spirit. He called on those present to contribute to charity in developing countries.
Sikong Ling is also skeptical of Gates' philanthropy. For example, food aid to African countries may disrupt the local food market. It is not easy for local indigenous people to plant food. As a result, when the free aid of the United Nations arrives, the local farmers' food cannot be sold, which greatly harms the local agriculture. In the future, unless the United Nations provides more and more aid, Africans will have more hard life. Sikong Ling said that he will not donate a penny to such a charity. Lord Gates is very unhappy!
This time even Ai Zixuan felt that he was too much and said that some charity is necessary because the disasters suffered by local people are far from being solved by the market themselves.
The face of the quasi-GF adults still needs to be taken into account. He thought for a while and said, "We came from PRC. I think we should be more tragic than any country. Without a market mechanism, human society would be so sad. PRC used to have no market mechanism, and more than one billion people lived in a terrible and pitiful world. So far, there are North Korea, Southeast Asia, and Africa that are war-torn countries that have not been able to establish basic markets. I think the only effective way to help them is to help them establish markets. If our lovely and heroic Marines must shed blood and sacrifice, their sacrifices and efforts should be more worthwhile."
Speaking of the Marines, Brin smiled and said, "The guy who loaded the bomb in your car last time didn't show up again, right?"
Bolling was the most sincere and supportive of the young king among the big names present. Sikong Ling was also the most friendly to him and replied: "No. This guy seems to have evaporated from the world. In order to defend against this guy, I specially bought a bulletproof car. My daily routine is no longer regular. I am still in the car and installed a home-made monitoring system at home. Ha, the CIA's monitoring of me was discovered by my monitoring system. I have not announced this to the public yet. Mr. President, am I enough to give face?"
Bush Jr. said awkwardly: "This is not my order, I still remember Nixon's lesson."
Sikong Ling piaorand: "I can actually get the same treatment as the presidential candidate now, which is really good."
After the Hongmen Banquet Over, the president's evaluation of Sikongling was: an arrogant and arrogant IT geek who only wants to believe in science without sympathy and does not talk about any emotions and morality. He does not understand politics or public opinion at all, and is not afraid of him. He will fight back after his Congressional speech.
Gates' evaluation of Sikongling: He is full of thorns, and his business IQ is zero. He is suitable for technology.
Bezos's evaluation: This kid is not simple. Judging from what he does, all of them are extremely creative, have super strong execution, and are technically the world's top programmer. The worst thing is that this kid still knows how to make products. Fortunately, his personality is a bit weird. I am looking forward to how he enters the e-commerce field.
Page's comment: "Good boy, he has a good taste and information. I hope you will become my opponent."
Bryn's comment: "I really feel that this is a sincere child, his attitude towards people is a bit extreme, and he lives freely and freely."
Jerry Yang: "A crazy boy, if Overture hadn't received more and more revenue in Yahoo, I would have ignored you. If you can't receive Twitter, it would be better to call Overture."
Jobs' comment: "CrazyBoy is a different guy who doesn't understand life or art. He has no sense of his technology and does not use his Twitter. He has little to do with him. He will never enter the hardware field. Organic food tastes different, ignorant and biased boys, and they are too prejudiced."
Nancy: "The Young King...is just an enemy of our Bush family."
In fact, Sikong Ling only made a friend of Brin at this White House dinner. Others either resented him or disliked him for not being gentlemanly. But everyone liked his GF, which was so beautiful, cute, talented, and generous Asian girl.
On the way to retreat, Ai Zixuan complained: "I really met the president and the legendary Bill Gates, but... but all of these people were offended by you. Didn't you say that MSN and the small businesses on Yahoo are very important development goals for TMall? Now, how do you ask me to do your work? Also, you said that Jobs is your idol, why didn't I see you a little respect? You also exposed the shortcomings of organic food in person! I've convinced you!"
Sikong Ling: "... Fortunately, the boss of 7-ELEVEN didn't come, so you can get him done first. Jobs... No matter who he believes in traditional Chinese medicine, witch doctors, diet therapy, and organic food, I will despise whoever I believe in."
Jerry Yang disliked Sikong Zero so much that he sent his wife, Matsuko Yamazaki to test Overture's acquisition.
Sikong Ling: "I won't sell it even if I die."
Ai Zixuan squeezed him and smiled and said with a pity: "Everything is easy to discuss. Even if we don't sell it, we can cooperate very friendlyly, such as signing a long-term contract and supporting each other on their respective websites. Twitter will not enter the Yahoo field, so we have a very good foundation for cooperation, which is different from Microsoft and Google."
Miss Ai is still well-educated and Binzi talks with great affection. Miss Ai is really a genius in language. Although she can’t speak some professional terms, she can express the meaning very clearly. Unlike someone, even if she speaks very professional words, there will be something that the other party can’t understand. It is obvious that she has no talent in expression.
Well, the negotiations with MSN and Yahoo in the future will also make Miss Ai come into play. Anyway, negotiations are boring.
Mr. Qiao is here.
"Boy, let's walk together?" Master Qiao likes to talk about things while walking.
Binzi, Zi, Mrs. Qiao, and the three ladies gathered together to talk. Master Qiao took Sikong Ling to the other side of the White House lawn.
Jobs: "My employees told me that the iPhone trademark is actually in your hands. Do you still want to make a mobile phone?"
Sikong Ling said, "Steve is really a keen sense of business. The iPod has just been released shortly after it was released, and I knew that the phone might have an impact on the iPod."
Jobs looked at him in surprise, but he didn't expect that his deepest thoughts were expressed in one word. Is there his inner supporter in Apple? No, he is a hacker again? Why are you interested in Apple?
Jobs is a general, so of course he would not react too much, and said calmly: "I divided Apple into four product directions. Consumer electronics is one of them, and we are also considering making mobile phones. If Twitter makes mobile phones, it would be so strange. Can you tell me what you think?"
Sikong Ling: "I'm not just doing Twitter. In my heart, Bing and iServer are all the same big business. I want to do e-commerce, and I'm still thinking about how to do it. I really want to do mobile phones. The main reason is that mobile phones are really too difficult to use now. Of course, I don't have time to think about how to do it. Actually... I want to enter the field of CPU manufacturing..."
Jobs was stunned for a moment: "CPU manufacturing? Why...why?"
Sikong Ling: "I admire Apple, Microsoft, and Intel, which once reached the peak of the industry. I think about it. There seems to be no good idea in mobile phone manufacturing, but no matter how mobile phones develop, they always develop in the direction of intelligence. The heart of smartphones is CPU. Intel's x86 architecture has shortcomings in energy consumption, so Intel may miss the opportunity for smartphone CPUs, so I want to enter this field. When I visited SiliconFen in the UK, I found that Apple actually has shares in ARM. This is good. If there is a little ARM equity, it would be great for us to create a CPU that streamlines the instruction set."
Jobs probably figured out Sikongling's idea. He wanted to be Intel in the field of streamlining instruction sets. He smiled: "Oh, your idea is very interesting, but do you know that the investment in chip manufacturing is terrifying? Even if Apple dares not easily get involved, it is currently using IBM's CPU. Not only is it huge for building CPUs, but it is also difficult to find a market. Currently, only AMD and Intel are competing with general-purpose CPUs, and it is very difficult. Intel's attainment in CPUs is really unattainable. Once they transform to streamlining instruction sets, it will be a matter of minutes. They have strong manufacturing capabilities. We have ARM equity to make a strategic investment."
Sikong Ling: "I am also a strategic investment in making mobile phones. It is the same as if you want to make mobile phones because you are afraid that iPod will be impacted. Twitter's 140-word limit is tailored for mobile phones. I think that the future large-screen mobile phones will have a huge impact on Twitter's mobile experience. Moreover, if I make my own mobile phones, I will not be afraid that the CPUs I made will have no place to sell. With the influence of Twitter, I think our mobile phones are still sold."
Jobs: "If Apple makes a mobile phone, it will definitely leave a good place for Twitter, and you can concentrate on making your CPU. Haha, this is a bit crazy. Crazy is your personality, I understand it."
Sikong Ling: "Okay, I'm very confident that Apple makes mobile phones. Microsoft has never been able to do well in this field. Their systems are so bad. I'm a person with no taste, and Bill has no taste. I think Apple may reshape its glory in this field, just like the ones before the invention of a personal computer."
Jobs: "So... It seems that we have a good chance of cooperation. Look, our iPod is very similar to the iPhone. We are considering whether we call it iPhone. Of course, I know, you also have the habit of naming iServer and iSoft. What do you think about this?"
Sikong Ling: "You sell ARM shares to me quietly, and I give you the iPhone trademark."
Jobs: "You can consider it, if the price is right."
Sikong Ling: "It's going to be quiet. I want to see if I can buy more from others. Maybe I'll go to the UK again after the impeachment of the president is over."
Jobs: "It's useless for you to go to the UK. As far as I know, ARM's controlling stake is now in investment institutions in the United States. You have prepared money and I can help you lobby these institutions, but it's not cheap. I think if you want to buy it now, you have to sell Twitter. Both Jerry Yang and Peppa want to buy it."
Sikong Ling: "Uh... I'd better not want to buy ARM's good things first. I'll do e-commerce first. It's so pleasant to talk to Steve."
Jobs smiled meaningfully: "My wife doesn't think you will have something to do with the word "pleasure". So, I dare not invite you to your house as a guest."
Sikong Ling: "...It's a pity."
What a great opportunity for the White House family dinner. After a walk with Jobs, Sikong Ling gathered with Page and Brin to chat, from driverless technology to 3D printing, from super-large industrial robots to the technological singularity. Sikong Ling said that he wanted to contract the bus system of a certain city in the future and then use driverless technology. He also believed that decentralization in the future intelligent system is a very important branch, just like the decentralization of the Internet. It turned out that the first generation of the Internet, the content providers were the editors of the website, editing and editing some traditional media content, or original, while the second generation of the Internet would use this Yahoo model
Marginalization, the birth of a blog will produce a large number of excellent writers, impacting those serious model of professional employees as columnists. The strength of bloggers who stand out from a large number of blogs is completely determined by the Internet market. Just like the comparison of the planned economy and the market economy, it is obvious who is better. The same is true for the decentralized intelligent driving system. It takes every mobile unit as the top intelligent individual, and does not require a powerful and not necessarily completely reliable central control system. Every smart car is like a venomous snake with its head cut off and will still instinctively bite people. Only this distributed intelligence can have the greatest fault tolerance.
Page teased: "When will you contract city buses? Although we Google also has many plans, there is still logic. I can't see a line in what you want to do to string them together."
Sikong Ling: "I know that everything you want to do is to make things that others charge for free, and then advertise on it, ha. Well, logic is right, I want to change the world and apply information technology to all traditional fields. For example, if the bus information system is not available, it will be difficult for you to deeply optimize the information of the bus. In the intelligent system, the arrival of the bus is accurate to a few seconds, and in the future, the intelligent taxi system can be developed as a supplement to the bus. You think, if the taxi scheduling can also be accurate to a few seconds, what a great information age is!"
Bolling: "The spirit of the Internet is free, and we are also adapting to the market. Your idea seems to make sense. It seems a bit difficult to achieve unmanned driving in a private car in one step. It is much easier to come first."
Page: "It's good, we have found a common ideal. Our Google mission is to integrate all information. The intelligent bus system has a promising prospect. If the bus has a dedicated lane and all nodes are connected to the network, it can really be accurate to a few seconds. Why not set up an intelligent bus system company together!"
Sikong Ling: "Good! But all companies have to make money. We should first take the orders of the bus information system and then analyze the best solution from a large amount of data."
Brin raised his hand: "I'm very interested in this, let me be the CEO of the branch!"
Sikong Ling laughed: "No problem, I will post a message on the company's dedicated Twitter to see who is interested in this project."
Page: "How much are you going to pay for this project?"
Sikong Ling: "This... it's better to reduce the Overture's share by one percentage point, and you can also use the corresponding profits to do it. Is it sincere enough?"
Bryn: "...This is the wool that comes from the sheep. We want to play with a few more projects and try to reduce the Overture share to zero!"
Sikong Ling: "Ha, okay, as long as you can think of it."
Brin pulled Page aside and muttered for a few words. Page thought for a while, nodded in agreement. Then Brin came back and said in an excited tone: "Do you know the dark fiber?"
Sikong Ling: "It seems that the optical fiber that has been built by the telecommunications company but has not yet been put into use."
Bolling: "Yes! After the network bubble, these dark fibers became very cheap. We have plans to buy a large number of dark fibers to reduce traffic costs, and to experiment with personal network access up to G-level in the future. Are you interested?"
Sikong Ling: "Yes, I can let my iServer technical director talk about this. How much does it cost?"
Page: "This is quite expensive. Maybe we want to go public and raise funds before buying it. You need to reduce Overture by three points."
Sikong Ling was shocked: "It's so expensive. I'll stop. If I continue to cooperate, it will really drop to zero. It's not possible now. I'm short of money now."
Blin smiled and said, "I can't compete with just two projects, I'm weak!"
Sikong Ling: "Then let's talk about something fun, is 3D printing fun?"
Bolling: "Yes, why are you interested in 3D printing?"
Sikong Ling: "There are many Geeks in our company who like to make weird designs. In order to satisfy their creative desire, I specially bought some 3D printers for public use. Hey, don't say that, someone really made fun things. I'll give you a few Twitter Cafes. This kind of coffee machine can accept Twitter commands and automatically make coffee. After that, it will notify the secretary to send it to your office. When the coffee is gone, it will automatically notify the administrative colleagues in charge of these matters. This is also informatization. All employees can drink coffee in this way. There are records of whoever drinks many cups, which is convenient for the company to check out. How interesting it is."
Page laughed: "Are you going to make all of us Google use Twitter?"
Sikong Ling: "I've been seen through. We are recently working on a project called [Twitter Subdomain], which is to set up a Twitter subdomain for the company, and then we can only register with the company's email address and manage it uniformly. For example, you can set up a subdomain called Twitter and click Google as a place for efficient communication with internal employees. Of course, you can follow the coffee machine on this sub-site and issue instructions to TwitterCafe. Isn't it fun?"
Page: "That's impossible, you can see everything we do."
Sikong Ling: "Then you use it to distribute coffee specifically, or use the ** data version, and put the data on your own server. I just want to give you a few TwitterCafes, which may give you some inspiration for informatization in traditional fields. This is our common ideal."
Bolling: "This gift is good, I accepted it. It will be interesting when 3D printing can be used directly for large-scale industrial manufacturing."
Sikong Ling: "Yes, I heard that there are people who are studying directly printing houses. The construction speed is very fast. Their first step is to build refugee camps. In the future, I might buy a large piece of land to print out a large piece of refugee camps as an office, haha, it's interesting."
Page: "As you said, you have to make money when doing anything. It is better to use it to build economic housing than to print a refugee camp. If it can be achieved technically. I bought a piece of land today and wanted to build a small house to live in. A phone call. The next day, a weird big truck drove it and I could move in on the third day. Cool, this business model is so cool!"
The three of them laughed and appreciated each other.
Bolling: "3D printing means that materials are very expensive, and it is unrealistic to be used for industrial production in the near future. It can only be used to assist in design."
Sikong Ling: "Well, photosensitive materials are very expensive, but if you really want to do it, it will be OK to produce this material on a large scale. You can produce personalized products in the first step, print dolls, gifts, and rarely use them to mass-produced things. You can increase the usage and reduce costs step by step, and finally make many fields directly manufactured with this technology. Oh, can you use printers to build skyscrapers?"
Page: "Of course, it's just a matter of cost. Others build a skyscraper with a billion yuan, and you use a 3D printer, good guy, build one for 10 billion yuan, no one wants to do it! By the way, cost is a bottleneck of many high-tech, just like clean energy. When oil prices are high, nuclear energy, wind energy, and solar energy companies will sprout out immediately. Once the oil prices drop, they all go bankrupt. Alas, don't talk about high-tech now, even industrial robots are not as cheap as recruiting workers directly in developing countries. Your PRC is the most typical example. Now factories around the world have moved to you."
Bolling: "Let's think about how to technically print out a skyscraper."
Sikong Ling: "I am very fascinated by decentralized intelligence. If I can design a brick that I can run, and when I run to the position it should go, I will squat down and become a solid brick. The printer constantly prints this brick that I can run, and then let them become part of a skyscraper by themselves. Then we watch the building continue to grow taller by itself from a distance!"
Bolling: "Are skyscrapers made of bricks?"
Sikong Ling: "I don't know this..."
The three of them laughed wildly again.
Page: "This kind of running brick seems to be very expensive."
To be continued...
