Chapter 163 A Talk in a Thunderstorm Night

This "multi-party meeting" lasted a long time. It was already dark when everything was over and we left "Guangming Community".

Cao Shen also admired these big guys. He didn't even eat dinner and kept chatting with him in high spirits.

Everything went very smoothly, and Cao Shen got the "green channel" specially opened by the top management.

In the future, he will have the right to apply for "special handling" for matters related to NLP engines, chip design, new energy vehicles, autonomous driving, and satellite networks.

For Dongguo's enterprises, this kind of treatment is really the first time.

Of course, the country still needs to do a lot of verification work in the future, such as ground RTK technology for satellite navigation, such as experimental testing of low-orbit satellite mobile communications, etc.

But Cao Shen is obviously very confident about this, after all, these technologies have been leveled in the original world.

He dared to propose it, so he was absolutely sure.

On Cao Shen's side, he naturally needed to report some achievements from time to time.

For example, for the drawing of high-precision maps, he really had to get ten cars to pretend to run around the country.

Of course, the country will also set up several special funds for R&D expenses.

For example, the "new energy vehicle" fund.

For example, the "autonomous driving R&D" support fund.

For example, the "large-scale integrated circuit" national fund.

And so on. These national-level funds are obviously large investments.

Cao Shen has not had time to calculate the details, but roughly speaking, he should make money.

In addition to funds, of course the country also gives land.

A "National New Energy Intelligent Automobile Industrial Park" was directly allocated on the outskirts of Beiji City. If Cao Shen makes cars in the future, he can open a factory here.

In addition to free land use, there is also a seven-year tax exemption policy and R&D subsidies.

This trip can be said to be fruitful, and even Xiao Gang smiled and congratulated him.

There will be thunderstorms and low visibility tonight. The aviation tower does not recommend Xiao Gang to take off at night.

Xiao Gang's private jet captain, Mao Ge from the Russian fighting race, frowned:

Low visibility? I can fly with my eyes closed!

Thunder? I can fly even with missiles!

But Cao Shen advised Xiao Gang not to leave for safety reasons.

Xiao Gang joked:

He can really fly, he used to fly a fighter jet.

"Da Zhuang" beside Xiao Gang also rarely interrupted:

Other people's planes take off and land at an angle.

Our plane is not a helicopter, but it takes off and lands straight every time, just like bungee jumping.

He seemed to be proud of it, and felt that the bodyguard and the captain had a good relationship, a friendship that could drink a bottle of Erguotou.

Although the captain of Russia's plane was fierce, he was indeed very good in technology.

After the end of the Cold War, Russia "transferred a large number of military to civilians", and these retired pilots and maintenance personnel became "hot commodities" for major airlines and private aircraft operators.

The pattern of this world is a bit similar to the original world, but not exactly the same.

The United States is more powerful than the United States in the original world, and its relationship with the East is more undercurrent. ˜”*°•.˜˜.•°*”˜

As for the East Country, the founding time was later than that of China in the original world.

The current high-level authorities are basically the "third generation" or even the "second generation".

So in fact, the East Country is more "reckless" because it has a stronger "sense of crisis".

We can see a little clue from the fact that Ocar Capital has been laying out for 20 years.

This is also the reason why Cao Shen proposed the "low-orbit satellite communication network" plan so early. Although the top leaders of the East Country also have their own little tricks, they have a stubborn execution ability in the face of the highest mission.

As long as they can achieve the "strategic goal", they are very "stubborn" and have the posture of giving up everything.

Therefore, Cao Shen is very confident that this "low-orbit satellite communication plan" will develop very quickly.

As for the fact that the East Country has some strategic changes in "foreign trade" due to some changes in the government, it is actually an understandable "rhythm".

In the past few decades, in order to develop science and technology, the East Country adopted the strategy of "exchanging market for technology".

Whether it is to exchange for the market or to "maneuver", the entire technological level of the East has obviously reached a new level, and it also has a lot of "core technologies".

Then the next step should be to take the route of "technology for market", turn the existing technology into products, eat up the external market, and improve its own product capabilities and international market share.

Of course, there is also a more important "financial logic" in this bottom layer.

Let its own monetary system build a framework in the world.

The reason why Cao Shen's MIPS acquisition has not been settled is because he failed to catch up with the previous train.

Under the new rhythm, it was sacrificed by the new "strategy".

This kind of acquisition involving high-tech core technology is indispensable for international negotiations, and there are trade-offs. The top management needs to balance these trade-offs under the new strategy.

Fortunately, now all departments are "working together", and I believe there will be results soon.

China in the original world has obviously gone through such a rhythm.

In the second step, companies such as "Huawei" were indeed born, and the export development of both electronics and light industry was extremely prosperous, which also led to the improvement of the entire domestic manufacturing level.

However, competitors reacted quickly and saw the logic behind this strategy.

When it was time to enter the "third phase", the trade war started.

As a result, many core technologies are stuck without being able to master them.

But there is no need to be particularly pessimistic. Being able to enter the "second stage" at least shows that there is some "confidence". What's more, in the previous "rhythms", we have accumulated a lot of talents and an effective R&D system.

Xiao Gang listened to Cao Shen's suggestion and did not fly that night.

And although the two have cooperated many times, Xiao Gang is mainly helping, but they spend very little time together.

So Xiao Gang stayed and had a rare meal with Cao Shen.

Still in the big glass room on the top floor of Xiao Gang's "Qingqing Garden".

Through the glass, you can clearly see the wind and rain, lightning and thunder outside.

It’s really a different experience.

Let you move like wind and thunder, while I drink a little wine, I am as steady as a mountain...

That's probably what it feels like.

Boss Xiao used steel tweezers to add six cubes of ice to Cao Shen and poured half a glass of wine:

"It's got you tired this time."

"No way, the result is good." Cao Shenqian took a sip.

He doesn't like drinking, but Boss Xiao's wine tastes very mellow.

Xiao Gang held the wine glass, lowered his head and looked at the ice cubes squeezed together in the glass and said:

"I always think that the efforts of two generations can give your generation a freer environment."

Boss Xiao was naturally referring to the fact that Cao Shen was "restricted from leaving the country" and had to "co-develop" core technologies with the country.

This matter has already been resolved with Cao Shen.

But, obviously, Boss Xiao is still very upset.

In the eyes of Boss Xiao, if a country's "technological capabilities" are strong enough, "technical talents" like Cao Shen can gain wider freedoms.

The country will not put many "precautions" and "restrictions" on such talents.

The country can also support its own R&D system without reaching out to companies to "use it".

Xiao Gang has been committed to improving the country's core scientific and technological level and promoting economic development throughout his life.

"Guard" truly outstanding companies.

Create a good environment for the development of technical talents and enterprises in Dongguo.

As for Cao Shen's experience this time, he didn't do enough.

In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Dongguo really suffered a lot.

We need money but no money, we need technology but no technology, and the international environment is extremely bad.

It can be said that the most important sense of mission deep in the hearts of Xiao Gang's generation, as well as the previous generation, is to enable the next generation to get rid of this "shadow of history."

This is probably like the idea that I want to earn a share of the family business for my son so that he can live a good life.

But for Cao Shen, each generation should have its own mission and responsibility.

To be honest, the first two generations of Dongguo have done a very good job.

This is also the reason why Cao Shen is willing to continue to stay in the Eastern Kingdom after coming to this world.

This country is courageous, passionate, and full of energy.

People in this country may be used to hard times, and diligence is in their bones.

Moreover, freedom is inherently relative.

Complete freedom also means complete "no guarantee".

What's more, it's not that the country's scientific and technological strength is at its peak, and "high-tech strength" is not restricted.

In the original world of the United States, when top tycoons released new technologies in public, there were countless plainclothes FBI and CIA listening.

Moreover, the surveillance program exposed by Snowden is not just for surveillance professionals in the United States, they want to spy on everyone!

As for Cao Shen himself, haha, he was caught secretly right under his nose, okay?

Therefore, for Cao Shen, Boss Xiao's idea is too idealistic.

This will continue as long as competition exists.

Regardless of whether the country has the strongest scientific and technological capabilities, even if the country is strong, there will still be competition between enterprises.

There will still be restrictions.

Unless you surpass everyone, become invincible and have no competition!

Become the only "extreme capitalist" in the world, and be "species-level" generations ahead of all other people and organizations in terms of strength.

Cao Shen stretched out his hand and held Xiao Gang's shoulder:

"Brother, you have done a great job.

Supervision is not a national policy issue.

Fundamentally speaking, this is the contradiction between technological progress and humanities. "

Xiao Gang raised his head. He heard this statement for the first time and was very interested:

"Oh? What do you say?"

Cao Shen said:

“Since entering the Internet era, the entire information industry has developed too fast.

A large amount of information floods the Internet, which is equivalent to opening the door to a new world for the public.

On the one hand, the amount and transparency of information has increased significantly.

On the other hand, the inferiority, illegibility and exploitability of information are also greatly enhanced.

During this period, it was difficult for the original administrative management methods to keep up with the speed of the information explosion.

Therefore, supervision obviously lags behind the development speed of information technology.

This leads to the fact that current supervision only comes up with strategies to patch problems after they arise.

Rather than having presets and frameworks like before.

This way of patching makes it easy for people to suddenly feel ‘supervised’.

It gives rise to a feeling that it was clearly possible before, but it was suddenly ‘one size fits all’.

But in fact, it should not have happened in the first place. It is just that supervision has lagged behind and caused an obvious contrast.

But this problem is actually very difficult to solve.

The speed of technology and information development is already difficult to predict.

Take entrepreneurship as an example. The sharing economy is very popular this year. What will be popular next year and what will be innovative the year after? It is hard to say for sure.

What problems will these innovations bring, and how to guarantee them in advance is even more impossible.

Now technology is pulling the supervision, and supervision can at least follow behind.

What about the future? Some technologies themselves are linear and can be predicted.

But some technologies do not develop linearly, and even linearly developing technologies will have the result of quantitative change to qualitative change.

In the future, maybe one day.

The development of technology is like a wild horse that has run away from its reins. If supervision cannot keep up, it will no longer be able to stop it.

The development of technology is difficult to predict and manage. Then supervision can only take another easy-to-manage path, which is to manage technology companies and people.

On the surface, this is supervision.

But supervision is essentially a kind of humanistic protection.

Supervision is not only a control of technology application, but also a restriction on capital. ”

Technology is a beast, and capital is even more greedy. If there is no regulatory rein, the result will be extremely bad.

Let me give you a very simple example.

At first, online media needed a license to publish news, and reporters needed a "press card" to take up their posts. This guaranteed the "authenticity" of the news and the "tone" of the report to a certain extent.

But since the emergence of "public accounts" and self-media, self-media are not bound by "online news media", but can create "news media" content.

Only with traffic can it be realized and make money.

So, in order to attract traffic, a large number of self-media began to produce articles with "shocking", "thrilling" and "spreading".

Most of these articles are taken out of context, and there is even no lack of false information.

Middle-aged and elderly friends are the most concentrated victims. Have your parents ever sent you the kind of headlines with:

"Breaking news, terrible truth!"

"Big scandal, shocked!"

"It is said that the sooner you read it, the better! Hurry up and open it and take a look! ”

“It is strongly recommended to collect, otherwise…”

“A sigh…”

For this type of article, there are also some “group chat collections” forwarding.

The main “selling points” of this type of article are the smell of yellow and smelly, negative scandals, and intimidating medical and health knowledge.

Users will also be attracted by these articles due to curiosity, ignorance of the truth, etc., bringing a lot of traffic.

For the platform, traffic is crucial, so they also turn a blind eye to it.

Even in the internal rating of public accounts, traffic is used as a key indicator of rating, which further promotes the growth of this kind of content.

Driven by money, will capital “find its conscience” and make correct guidance? Overthinking.

If these contents are not regulated.

In the future, the proportion of this kind of content will become higher and higher, and its content will become more and more outrageous.

In addition, there is personal privacy.

With the advancement of technology, more and more personal information will be digitized and online.

Companies that own these data will tell big data stories to capital.

Have you ever received various sales calls, asking you to buy things, and there are also calls to recommend you to borrow money, and even fraud.

They know your exact financial situation and even know what you bought on what platform .

Have you ever thought about where the data comes from?

If there is no supervision to prevent companies from abusing personal data for the sake of profit, this is simply out of control.

The development of technology can make data richer, screening more accurate, and even allow people to act according to its "arrangement".

Have you ever experienced that you can't stop scrolling on Douyin, buying things you didn't want to buy according to various "personalized" recommendations, have you found that the taste of the articles you read is getting more and more consistent, have you found that your aesthetics and consumption seem to be affected by something?

The two carriages of technology and capital are affecting human consumption, preferences and even values.

And these two carriages are difficult to separate. It is difficult to develop technology without money, and it is difficult to verify and improve technology without large-scale application in the market.

Is the driving force of human technological development "generating electricity for love"?

Of course there is such a situation, but it is more driven by interests!

Capital never cares what kind of people we will become, it only cares whether you have become "what it wants".

Supervision is the last line of defense for human protection.

This is just "control" directly facing users.

What if these technologies and capital are used on machines? That's not just the impact of humanity.
