Chapter 300 A bolt from the blue!

"You see the situation is not good, so you want to be the King of One Word?"

After Zheng Xiwen finished speaking, Qiao Yu immediately gave his own judgment.

Zheng Xiwen was about to shake his head, but suddenly felt that Qiao Yu's description was quite accurate, so he nodded in agreement and replied, "That's roughly what I meant. The higher-ups want to hear your thoughts."

Qiao Yu said without even thinking: "This is the best choice at this stage! Who said the other side is a makeshift team? The fact that they can come up with this idea shows that they are very mature.

But there is still a question, can the person on the other side continue to work after three years? If all the projects start at the beginning, won’t it be a waste of time if a new group of people don’t recognize it? "

Hearing this question, Zheng Xiwen was silent for a moment and his expression became even weirder.

"The other party has even thought of this. So in addition to these obvious conditions, he has some deeper ideas, hoping to use our power to help him eliminate some opposition forces.

Well, in his words, it means getting rid of those reactionaries who disregard the interests of the people of both countries. In this way, even if he leaves in three years, he can ensure that someone who inherits his political legacy will come up. In this way, the continuity of cooperation can be guaranteed.

Of course, we have rejected this part of the cooperation. After all, not interfering in their affairs is one of our most basic principles. But if the cooperation mentioned above can produce results, it will be difficult to reverse it.”

Qiao Yu nodded in understanding.

To be honest, he was not very good at this kind of game and consideration. He could only analyze it from the most basic level of interests. In fact, the other party's proposal was quite good.

The Chinese people are particular about doing things step by step, and they are most afraid of going too far. In a sense, they are indeed not as good as the other side in integrating the global interest chain, or in training dogs.

There's nothing to be ashamed of admitting.

In the past fifty years, China has mostly been crossing the river by feeling its way across the river, and trying to take the essence and discard the dross to ensure China's competitiveness.

It turns out that this method is effective.

Similarly, those who have been bosses know that most bosses do not want their management to be too united and form a group with completely common interests.

Although unity is a good thing, it is often not that simple from a human perspective.

For example, if a boss has executives who are so close to him that they wear the same pants as each other, it is doubtful whether he can still grasp the real situation of the company in a timely manner.

Therefore, from their own perspective, many workers always think that their bosses are idiots, allowing the management below to fight each other and focusing all their energy on internal friction.

But he never thought that if the people below him were good enough to wear a pair of pants while sitting in that position, he might not even be able to get a good sleep.

After all, at this level, it is not a joke that there are always villains who want to harm me, but a real mentality.

When he was the second in command, he hoped for world peace, but when he really started to maintain order, the situation was different.

The simplest example is that China now hopes that the entire European continent can unite and form a multi-level structure.

But if Xida really declines and no longer has a dominant leader, it is hard to say whether China will still have similar considerations.

Qiao Yu could figure out these messy things, but he was too lazy to waste his brain cells on such things. It was meaningless to him.

However, after hearing this news, his perception of Westerners changed a little.

Those who can occupy high positions in this world may not be very knowledgeable, but they are definitely not stupid.

Their perception and coping abilities are far superior to those of ordinary people. They often behave foolishly because they are forced to do so.

But this is obviously good news for him.

The other party has expressed this attitude, so those big bosses he hasn't talked to yet are obviously abandoned. Speaking of which, Qiao Yu likes dealing with these abandoned people the most.

It feels more comfortable to knead.

So Qiao Yu immediately agreed with the other party's idea.

"Then this cooperation obviously has more advantages than disadvantages. I think it is very feasible! There are always some things we don't want to do that we can let them do! And they are particularly good at it!

But this is secondary. The more important thing is that Chinese culture has a strong assimilation ability! And compared with them, we have rich experience in multi-ethnic integration and practical policy methods!

This is the benefit of a long history. The Five Barbarians who invaded China were eventually orthodox. Now, as long as this cooperation model can last for a few decades, the grassroots people will be easily assimilated by their patterns and inertial thinking habits as long as the propaganda channels are controlled.

So I think that under the premise of maintaining policy continuity, we should do our best to promote this cooperation! Even as the other party said, if he encounters a hurdle that he can't overcome, don't be too reserved if you can help him! For the sake of world peace, it's not shameful to help. "

"What the hell... A young man in his twenties is not only good at studying, but can also think so far?!" Zheng Xiwen sighed inwardly.

A senior figure once said that some scientists are as good as three divisions. Zheng Xiwen used to think it was dismissive, but now it seems conservative.

It is no exaggeration to say that Qiao Yu is worth ten divisions.

As soon as the space-based defense system and quantum simulation computer came out, the other side immediately surrendered. Who would have thought that the other side would even be willing to give up the position of the boss?

In the past two years, his confidentiality rights have been enhanced, and he even saw the detailed text record of this call.

What can I say? The other side even hinted in words and deeds that there are some things that China finds inconvenient to do, and they can even do them for China in exchange for its support.

This is the intention of actively acting as a black glove. Really, before seeing this news today, Zheng Xiwen didn't dare to think that the other side could actually do this.

Zheng Xiwen didn't even dare to think about what would happen to the world if this news got out.

Everyone was expecting the two sides to collide violently, and then everything would come to life after the whale fell. Who could have thought that the other side wanted peace? The other side even took the initiative to surrender?
Not to mention that he was just shocked when he received the news, but Qiao Yu was able to analyze it in a simple and easy-to-understand way and see what might happen in the future more clearly than he did.

Putting aside his chaotic thoughts, Zheng Xiwen nodded and said, "Okay, I will report your ideas."

Qiao Yu nodded, then asked, "Will this matter be announced in the near future?"

They had been together for a long time, so there was no need for Qiao Yu to explain that Zheng Xiwen knew what he was thinking. So he gave an answer that a smart person would definitely understand.

"Generally speaking, the authorities will not admit this kind of thing before both parties officially sign the relevant documents. However, we can guarantee that it will not be leaked, but the other party may not. So it is normal for some rumors to spread outside."

Qiao Yu understood and gave Zheng Xiwen a bright smile: "Thank you, Uncle Zheng."

...Brad Smith had just finished a remote meeting, looked tired, turned off the computer and rubbed his eyes.

It’s really not his fault that he’s been in a bad mood recently. It’s mainly because he’s too tired.

China's launch of a general-purpose quantum simulation computer was a huge challenge to Microsoft. This was a time of panic and the company needed to come up with its next strategic direction, but he was trapped in China and could not go back to take charge of the situation.

He couldn't fall behind in his work during this time, and he also had to consider the annoying time difference. During China's normal office hours, he couldn't communicate normally with the headquarters.

The limited hours at night became a window for communication between the two sides. This also doubled his working hours, but his efficiency was still low, which naturally put him under great pressure.

I can't live this day!
If it weren't for Intel, Nvidia and other fellow companies that are also suffering here, Brad Smith would have wanted to give up.

Why can other people live a godly life when they are CEOs, and everything they do is as if assisted by God? When he is CEO, nothing goes well!

This world is so unfair!
"Bang bang bang..."

Just as Brad Smith was still complaining about the injustice of the world in his heart, there was a polite knock on the door.

Brad quickly stood up and looked at himself in the mirror in the room to make sure that he was dressed appropriately. He raised his hand and rubbed his face before walking to the door and opening it.

Somewhat surprisingly, standing behind his secretary were Chris Malarkey and David Hopkins.

He just met these two people this morning.

To be honest, he went to the receptionist in the afternoon because he didn't come up with any constructive opinions during the meeting. He wanted to meet Qiao Yu as soon as possible.

Only after determining Qiao Yu's attitude can we set the strategic tone for the future, instead of wasting time staying in China.

"Mr. Smith..." The secretary just opened his mouth and saw Brad Smith raised a hand, signaling him not to talk nonsense.

"Come in." Brad Smith made an inviting gesture.

"Would you like some coffee? The coffee machine outside is pretty good. I bought some of the best Italian coffee beans." Brad Smith asked casually while still outside the door.

"No need!" They both responded almost at the same time.

Just from the serious tone, Brad Smith could tell that something had happened that he didn't know about.

And it's clearly not good news.

He knew these people too well. Even though the situation couldn't get any worse, they still wouldn't run so hard if it was good news.

They only share with him when they feel the situation is too difficult and needs to be discussed together.

So Brad Smith waved to the secretary, watched the door close, turned around and followed the two men into the living room.

Before he could ask, David Hopkins took the initiative to speak: "We have heard very bad news. The White House intends to make friends with China and jointly face future challenges.

The conditions given include completely opening up the market, introducing China's large-scale infrastructure capabilities, and helping each other build regional markets. This means that they will give up competition and protection at the technological level!"

After hearing this, Brad Smith was almost stunned instantly. He digested it in his mind for a while before asking in surprise: "Is this news... confirmed?"

David Hopkins did not answer directly, but glanced at Chris Malarkey beside him.

The Nvidia president nodded and replied, "We have already heard some news through our respective channels. Unfortunately, there is a 90 percent chance that it is true."

Brad Smith picked up the phone immediately after hearing this.

Although he believed that the channels the two people used to get information were reliable, it was impossible for him to believe them just because they said they had inquired about it for such a big matter.

Even asking someone to verify it in front of the two of them was not considered rude. After all, this was a change of will at the highest level, and it happened at this most critical juncture. It was self-evident how big the impact was.

If this news is true, Brad Smith would probably feel like he was facing the enemy head-on on the battlefield and was suddenly shot in the back...

This is true.

The two bosses just sat there quietly, watching Brad Smith make calls one after another.

Often, the conversation would end suddenly and a new one would start. After half an hour of this, Brad Smith sat down on the sofa dejectedly and looked at the two helplessly.

Zheng Xiwen was right about one thing.

The other side's almost child's play system makes it almost impossible to keep something that has happened completely confidential.

After all, these decisions will directly affect finance, and finance is directly related to the pockets of many bigwigs. If you want to keep it completely secret, you will be the enemy of all the bigwigs.

Not to mention that many secrets have clear price tags. Anyway, even if many things are leaked, no one needs to take responsibility, and they can even benefit from it...

To serious people, this is just like playing house, but the other side has probably gotten used to it, and no one seems to think there is anything wrong with it over the years.

Or even if someone noticed something was wrong, they couldn’t change anything. After all, when this kind of thing becomes a way for a vested interest group to make money, no one can withstand the backlash caused by just touching it.

This is actually the same as knowing that the code is a mountain of shit but not daring to optimize it. It can run well without any changes, but it will be ruined if you change it.

So after hearing some rumors, the three of them made a few phone calls and confirmed that this was true...

“F**K!!!”

Brad Smith couldn't help but swear. Of course, if it is put into a film or TV series, in this context, this word can probably be translated as: "I am ready to fight to the death, why did Your Majesty surrender first?"

“We need to think of a way. Quantum simulation computers are superior to traditional electronic computers in all aspects. What should we do if there is no support for future competition?
If we don't unite at this time, we will have to watch the future silkworm market being completely eroded, and the only way waiting for us is bankruptcy and liquidation. I think everyone has no objection to this, right?"

David Hopkins said in a deep voice.

"Correct nonsense! Do you think it would be helpful if we united in the current situation?"
