Chapter 260: Take a step back and the sky is vast
Zheng Xiwen's originally serious face could hardly help but smile into a flower.
The greatest ability of a person like Qiao Yu is probably to simplify all problems.
This explanation is indeed much simpler, and it is indeed the truth. The anger on the opposite side is indeed inexplicable.
Qiao Yu really planned to cooperate, and he was really ready to negotiate with Google.
These are all well documented.
If the opponent was still as powerful as twenty years ago and had the strength to ignore any power of Blue Star, of course he could continue to dominate things.
But unfortunately, it is not twenty years ago. In fact, many times, what many people don’t notice is that
In many diplomatic occasions, the opponent has become increasingly inclined to tell some truth to China, even if not many.
Although this is just a slight change, you will know that if a person who was originally unreasonable starts to say a little reason, he often doesn't feel so righteous when he has no reason.
Qiao Yu's reply was transmitted to the other side of the ocean at the speed of light, and entered the secret conference room, who was still waiting for news.
Some of these big guys were called at dinners, some were listening to operas, and suddenly called at concerts. There were even very private things that were in a hurry and were rushed to attend the meeting. It was not unfair to interrupt many hobbies and enjoyment. After all, they really saw it and heard the nasty threat. And it was a threat to everyone's wealth in the digital age.
Just now, they even agreed that in order to ensure the safety of their own wealth, they could use any means.
As a result, people now told them that they had originally planned to cooperate. They had even reached an agreement before. The reason why they had not signed the contract was entirely their problem, and it was not Qiao Yu's problem at all. The other party had not even planned to conduct this big fanfare test.
Although the tone of the response on the other side was very unfriendly and had the meaning of "If you want to fight, then fight", the big guys calmed down quickly.
This matter is too abstract, and it is so abstracted that the big guys only think that Microsoft's decision-making brain has been collectively flooded?
They could not even doubt the authenticity of this matter, because in a short time, John Martinis, who was in charge of negotiations with the metaphor, was invited to go online.
The Google negotiator not only confirmed that China's statement was true, but also provided all videos of the negotiation process between the two people and the prepared contract template.
And only looking at the contract content, it is really impossible to say that they are not sincere. They don’t want much money, but they can work with many companies to study the new generation of quantum simulation technology.
They are even willing to help these technology companies cultivate a group of theoretical talents and let everyone take different technical routes to realize the future quantum network era.
Obviously, Microsoft felt that this was not enough, so they suspended the contract through many ways, and then released their own quantum chips in an almost picky manner at an inappropriate time.
As for why it is a pick
If you don’t choose, which technology company will suddenly announce its release at 5 a.m. and it will release a new product at 10 a.m. the next day?
In fact, not all the big guys who attended the meeting knew nothing about this. They even helped Microsoft make one or two phone calls before, and they were very clear about the development of the entire incident.
But now they will definitely not admit this. They even scolded Microsoft's management at this time and were even more ruthless than others!
Of course, even if someone else knows something, he will not say it at this time. This is the rule of the upper class.
The right to speak lies in strength, not in whether you have been stupid recently. At this level, morality has become different from what the public understands, and it has elastic standards.
Here, strength is truth. Because those who can be invited to attend this meeting have all the errors that can be resolved.
The error firewall established over a hundred years is not a joke. The media matrix indirectly controlled by these big names can completely reshape the narrative after the error occurs.
An onion-like information circle is formed. The real core circle can know at least 90% of the truth, and the executor only needs to know five%.
At the public level, ordinary people who can receive 10% of real information are already born smart.
After all, in this magical land, the rich and the poor can even be physically isolated in the same city, but no one thinks there is any problem with this.
In this case, most of the information that ordinary people can access is modified layer by layer and can naturally be understood.
"What the hell is Bill trying to do? Is he eager to make Microsoft great again?"
"Greed! Too greedy! It's obvious that Microsoft doesn't want to share quantum technology with everyone. They want to control the future alone."
"Maybe this is why Bill didn't come to this meeting! Everyone, I never care about other people's greed, but the premise is that we cannot infringe on our interests.
But there is no doubt that Microsoft's greed has seriously affected the interests of all of us! We cannot let this continue."
Soon many people began to express their opinions emotionally.
There is no doubt that Microsoft's "picking" behavior this time has caused public anger.
Of course, some people will hold different opinions.
"Everyone, please calm down. At present, no one knows whether China is really willing to share this technology with us! Please think carefully, will the beautiful blueprint they have built really happen?
Especially at a time when our competition is getting fiercer! Help us cultivate quantum simulation theory talents? You won’t really believe it, right? Maybe this is just a delaying strategy! The conditions they offer are not equal!"
These words made the conference room quiet for a moment, and then someone asked, "Evidence, Mr. Francis! Please give evidence! If there is no evidence, you can't really collide with the real sword and gun because of your speculation, right?"
Francis is so comfortable
He has evidence of a hammer.
China doesn’t know how strict the protection of Qiao Yu is. If you want to meet Qiao Yu, you have to go through layers of review. Can he still open Qiao Yu’s mind from afar and see what he thinks?
Not to mention that the high-level executives on both sides are very difficult to talk now. The opponent doesn’t answer the phone at all times. However, this seems to just show that the opponent is not expecting cooperation.
So he quickly said, "Isn't this obvious? The World Exchange Conference of Quantum Technology initiated by us refused to attend! No, not only the Quantum Exchange Conference, but he refused any other invitations.
This even included the intention of the American Academy of Sciences to award him the NAS medal, which was rejected by him. He only stayed for two days and left in a hurry! Doesn’t this mean that he did not regard us as friends!”
These words made everyone attending the meeting look strange on their faces.
Maybe ordinary people don’t know, but they know too well why the Quantum Technology World Exchange Conference invited Qiao Yu. And why many people want Qiao Yu to set foot on the territory of the United States again.
But these are all secret matters, and they are suddenly said like this, even when everyone is fighting for benefits,
Even if you are not so shameless, you feel a little uncomfortable.
So someone quickly asked back: "So, Mr. Francis, after you made those remarks, if Huaxia suddenly invited you to Huaxia to attend a financial conference, would you choose to set off immediately?"
Francis took a deep breath, then looked at the short-sighted old guy who asked him back, and didn't know if he should give a positive answer for a moment.
There is no doubt that this is true, of course he will not go there.
After all, he has long been included in the unpopular list by China. Even if he is not included, he will not put himself in danger.
So how did he answer this?
If he gave an answer against his will without hesitation, these people might really design him once in the near future.
Give him a reason to have to go to China.
Unity? It doesn't exist!
Now part of this country has embarked on a path of wanting to cut off their own meat to feed another part!
So at this moment, he hesitated!
He can't do something like sacrificing one's life for justice. He believes that no one in this conference room can do it.
On the contrary, in order to live a few more years, these people invest astronomical in the field of life sciences every year. Of course, he is the same!
Anyone who has mastered huge wealth hopes to live longer. At least they don’t want to say goodbye to the world until they really feel tired of living.
Francis knew very well that what the so-called "everyone is equal" in the mouth of this group of people wanted to express was that they discriminated against everyone equally.
He is so clear about what these people think and what they can do, of course because he is one of them.
Unity? Seeking common ground while reserving differences? Win-win? Nothing!
Everyone here represents the interests of a large group. It was okay to share enough cakes in the past. Now the cakes are really not enough. Everyone is thinking about how to eat them from each other, and he can't put himself in.
So after taking a deep breath, Francis said in a deep voice: "These are two situations, I'm not a scientist!"
"Yes, you're not a scientist. You're not even as smart as a scientist. But you know how to seek profit and avoid harm! So this evidence is simply ridiculous!
Everyone here knows this very well! You can't treat everyone except you as a fool! But the evidence we just heard is clear. And your analysis is ridiculous!"
The successive actions of Francis had already lost his patience and angrily scolded: "So what if this was just a delaying plan for the Chinese?
You guys plan to watch our quantum technology fall completely behind in two, three or even one year?
!We will have no strength to fight back then.
The global financial market may be threatened by Chinese people! Gentlemen, wake up, any weakness we have now may be taken advantage of by China! Maybe in a few years, we will lose everything!"
"Enough! Francis! I can answer your question! Whether it is one year, two or even three or five years, our weapons are still there!
We all know that as long as we maintain it properly, our weapons will not suddenly disappear or lose their capabilities because they are not used! We can now launch a counterattack because we are behind, and we can do the same in the future!
So why can't we try to cooperate? Unless you can pat your chest and say that you have the confidence to win! Francis, ask yourself, if the war is in full swing now, do you think we are fully prepared? Do you have the confidence to win?
Can you guarantee that there will be a stable situation and the rear when the initial period is not going well? Can you even guarantee that all our allies will continue to be on our side as always?"
Francis was speechless.
Because of all the issues that the Fed helmsman needs to guarantee him, he can't guarantee any of them.
In fact, if someone can guarantee two of these things, he doesn't need to say that the United States will not be so polite.
As we all know, politics is the continuation of economy, while war is the continuation of politics.
With a huge behemoth owing 40 trillion US dollars in huge extra debt and still unable to reap wealth that can boost the economy through economic means, the world can still maintain an overall peace, mainly because the opposite side is now too strong.
So powerful that when they face this giant that has also grown up, they no longer have the confidence to win. Even if they can win in the end, it will be a miserable victory.
Simply put, in the past 30 years, they have actually lost at the strategic level, and they have lost a lot. It is indeed too difficult to change all this at this time.
So these weak guys chose to pull the knife at their own people first, which made Francis feel very sad, so he chose to compromise one by one.
There is no way, no one is on his side. God has no choice but to face this situation.
If he didn't compromise, the knife might even slash him. No one here would choose to sacrifice his life for justice. Of course, it is not special.
Seeing that Francis stopped talking, everyone quickly reached a resolution.
"It seems that our opinions have been unified! We should promote this cooperation. Of course, we cannot give up our development path.
If Microsoft's technology is really advanced, it should be shared with more friends to ensure our quantum advantages in the future. This is also the price they should pay!
So what we need to do next is to let the Chinese calm down as soon as possible and get everything back on track, even if we have to pay some price for it. Do you have any other opinions?"
He said he was asking everyone, but in fact the Chairman's eyes were always staring at Francis' old face.
Seeing that the stubborn guy didn't say anything, the old man nodded with satisfaction.
Chapter completed!
