Top academic

Chapter 305 Reconciliation is the Holy Communion

No matter from which angle you look at it, this was a dinner of high standard. What Brad Smith did not expect was that there were indeed many people who came to support him, many of whom were his old friends.

For example, the CEOs of Google, INS and Facebook.

It made him feel like attending a dinner party in the country, except that they were eating at a large Chinese round table.

The dishes are not Western-style cold dishes.

Fortunately, before coming to China this time, he learned how to use chopsticks, otherwise it would be embarrassing.

Not only was he arranged by Qiao Yu to sit in the so-called guest of honor, but he was also highly praised. In addition to those business people he was familiar with, Qiao Yu also invited many big figures in China to come.

Not only from the Chinese academic community, but also from the Chinese government. But these are secondary, and they even invited reporters...

Qiao Yu even praised him highly at the dinner! Basically, halfway through the dinner, he had already started to treat many people as his brothers.

There's no way around it. China's high-end liquor is too damn addictive.

And it was different from his usual drinking method. He always drank when someone toasted him.

Although the cup is indeed not big and you can only take a small sip from it, it is still big enough to accommodate too many toasts.

But it doesn’t matter.

From the moment he learned that well-known journalists were invited to the dinner, Brad Smith had already given it his all.

It was nothing more than a chance to become famous. Since he made this decision, it was only a matter of time.

There is a saying that goes, when you can't resist, you might as well enjoy it. At least Microsoft can survive, and maybe it can even rise against the trend in the stock market.

In this way, as long as he works until retirement, the stocks he obtained during his tenure as an executive should still be worth a lot of money, and he can live a very wealthy life in the future.

Of course, the current investment strategy will also change. Brad Smith thinks he should invest part of his assets in the Huaxia stock market.

There are still quite a few listed companies in the Quantum Simulation Computing Alliance, so I can just buy some of them.

It is not just about the future appreciation potential of the Quantum Simulation Technology Alliance. More importantly, there must be some RMB asset allocation in the future.

The future was becoming clearer. It was almost certain that his country would gradually withdraw its tentacles back to the American continent.

The next half century will probably depend on how China plans.

In fact, he hoped that China would be as ambitious as it had always been and that the next step might be to develop into extraterrestrial areas.

Just like what Qiao Yu said at the dinner.

“Brad, gaming is a good direction. Since you plan to delve into the gaming sector, you should also shoulder your historical responsibility and play a guiding role!
Let's guide everyone's thoughts to the outer space. Go and see this magnificent starry sky. You should know that the efficiency of this universe is infinite, and what is limited is our efficiency in using resources.

Look at your previous achievements. Don't just focus on this little broken ball. How big is the range of activities? Look outside, to the solar system, the Milky Way...

As long as there are stars, there are plenty of resources waiting for us to develop! The fear is not that there are no resources to share, but that there are too many resources and not enough people to develop them!

So when you go back this time, I suggest that you should not only manage Microsoft well, but also become an opinion leader! Excuse me, your education needs to be reformed!

We should put a stop to the happy education and promote elite education for all people! We should restructure the college entrance examination so that students can enter prestigious schools based on their grades, and gradually abolish the recommendation letter system in high school.

Believe me, the survival of the fittest environment may not be the fairest, but it is definitely the most efficient! After a few generations, you will have enough engineers again!

By then, we will be able to catch up with the advent of the interstellar age! These people will be of great use! By then, the whole country will be grateful for your efforts!"

Qiao Yu's words at the dinner table made Brad Smith's blood boil. He even began to consider whether he should run for election directly after retiring from Microsoft.

Maybe it will go down in history in the future.

Of course, maybe he won't think so after he sobers up.

After all, any reform requires great courage. The energy unleashed by the huge group of vested interests may not be something he can bear.

Especially education.

In fact, Brad Smith will probably understand this if he reads more Chinese history books.

In all dynasties before the establishment of New China, educational resources have always been in the hands of a small number of people, without exception!

Even the gentry in ancient China knew that educational resources were a powerful tool for class inheritance. How could they be so easy to change?

……

Of course, Brad Smith had oversimplified more than just this one thing.

In fact, when he was still toasting with a group of people in the box of Institute A, the happy scene at the scene had already spread throughout the world, instantly adding fuel to the fire of this anxious world!

……

How many people are there on the Internet who enjoy watching the fun and never mind the big things? The answer must be countless.

And what is certain is that there are far more of them than those who personally stir up trouble on the Internet.

The interesting thing is that if we personify the country, the same thing happens. There are not many people who really want to get involved and cause trouble.

Most countries actually want to have fun.

This is especially true when the two most powerful countries in the world start fighting each other.

There is no doubt that many countries are hoping that the big two can just act decisively and start a fight.

As the saying goes, everything comes into being when a whale falls.

If one of the two strongest giants fell, the benefits released would be extremely astonishing. Some even wanted to fish in troubled waters.

When two powers compete, one will lose, or even both will lose. This means opportunities for the other top five powers.

Even those countries that cannot be included in the table for the time being are actually looking forward to this day. After all, it is really difficult to be caught between two superpowers. It didn’t matter before the transportation was not so developed, but now the distance between any two points in the world can be traveled by special plane in less than a day.

If there is any disturbance, the big country will send people to fly there in a minute. In the past, it didn't matter if only one side had the long-range delivery capability, but now both sides have this capability, it is really difficult to bear.

No matter which side you lean towards, the other side may be unhappy. It takes extremely high political wisdom to play it safe in the middle. If you don't handle it well, you will offend both sides.

It is no exaggeration to say that all countries in the world have been looking forward to a fight between the big brother and the second-in-command.

No matter who wins or loses, at least the situation is clear and everyone knows which side to lean towards.

After waiting day and night, they were suddenly shocked by the bad news. Are the two sides planning to make peace? Are they letting bygones be bygones?

What is a bolt from the blue, a shocking piece of bad news? Without a doubt, this is it.

God knows how many regional leaders were so scared that they couldn't sleep well after the old man in the white house told his staff about this idea.

How the hell is this possible? Didn't everyone agree to defend common values? And now Xida is not going to play with them?

Not only are they going to negotiate with China, but they are also planning to completely open up the infrastructure market in Xida? They are even proposing to set up regional trade markets?

This old man is totally not a human being.

God knows how many people threw their cell phones away after the news got out.

Although most of the official levels have not commented on this in the past few days, it is mainly because the matter has not been finalized. At least whether it is Xida or Dongda, the official level has not yet publicized this news.

In other words, now everyone gets the news from someone.

So although there is indeed a lot of hype about this in many foreign media, no one has said anything at the official level.

Even this news has not spread widely on the domestic Internet. Some well-informed bloggers have mentioned it, but not many people believe it.

All we can say is that the force of inertia is too strong to be overcome, whether it is inertia in physics or inertia in thinking.

Even textbooks say that ideological disputes are irreconcilable, and this has indeed been the case for many years.

The competition between Xida University and Dongda University has always been all-round and without blind spots.

Even after East China University conducted the Sky Shield-2031 joint defense exercise some time ago, there was no obvious response from West China University.

China has no large-scale exercise plans in the near future. If there is any explosive news, it is that a quantum simulation computer launch conference was held on New Year's Day.

Moreover, it is a product for ordinary consumers, and the price is quite expensive...

So when the news suddenly came out that West University wanted to give in to East University, many people with independent thinking ability did not believe it.

After all, that is Xi’an University, which has been showing off its power all over the world for decades. In its history of more than a hundred years, has it ever been seen that Xi’an University has ever given in to anyone?
In this context, a video of many Western technology giants and many officials and academics from the University of Tokyo getting together to drink and chat began to go viral on the Internet.

Netizens who are familiar with Chinese culture can tell that Microsoft President and CEO Brad Smith is the absolute guest of honor just by looking at the layout of the three tables and where everyone is sitting.

Another obvious finding is
There are also some curious netizens who downloaded the video specifically, then filtered out the surrounding noise and restored the voices of the main characters in the scene.

Although it's a bit intermittent, you can still hear a lot.

"...Of course, you are right. Technology companies are meant to serve all of humanity. We should proactively pursue more advanced productivity, there is no doubt about that."

"No, please don't be modest. China is now the leader in the world's most advanced productivity. Some people haven't realized this yet, but those who can't see the situation clearly will be eliminated. This is how history works."

"Of course, of course, Microsoft will fully cooperate with the release of quantum simulation computers! As I said before, backward production capacity should be eliminated..."

"Haha, although I never comment on political matters before, I think you are right, Joe. Education is a very serious and important matter. I should indeed show a more positive attitude to promote it. Just like you said, human beings should look to the starry sky above their heads..."

……

Once this video came out and became a hit, you can imagine how lively the world was at that moment.

Anyone with an eye can naturally see that the bigwigs from Xida technology companies who were invited this time are mostly well-known software service providers.

It covers almost all software application levels, including systems, games, social networking, communication and collaboration, entertainment and media, and productivity tools.

According to the most basic understanding, doesn't this mean that all the well-known software vendors at Western University will be considering how to get involved in quantum simulation computers in the near future?

Does this mean that electronic computers will be abandoned in the future? The patent barriers of major classical electronic computers are in the hands of Xi'an University. This is a blatant stab in the back!
How can the Western University across the street tolerate this?

Microsoft, Facebook, Google, Oracle... Do these software companies still want to continue to work at Xi’an University?

Soon, more information about the secret negotiations between Xida and Dongda was exposed on the Internet in the form of a rumor.

The people in the White House actually want to make peace with China at the cost of world hegemony? And they want to open up their own infrastructure market to China?
What the hell...

Really, many Chinese netizens think that maybe someone hasn't woken up yet. After all, it's normal for such things to happen in a dream.

However, at this moment, the person in the white house posted another content directly on X.

There are five pictures on it, which are pictures of four cities in China: Linhai, Beijing, Shenzhen and Shuangqing, and a picture of two high-speed train heads side by side. Then there is a sentence.

“Want to have such a wonderful city? A national infrastructure project is about to start, and we will invite the best engineering team to move in!
Faster public surface transportation, nice and smooth highways, and cheaper construction costs! It's time to change all this bad stuff.

Want your state to be among the first to join the big infrastructure plan? Feel free to make your voice heard here and let your governor know that you need everything! ”

When this part of the content on X was moved to the Chinese network intact, the entire network was shocked!
This is no longer a hint, but a blatant statement! Is there any doubt where the world's best infrastructure construction team is?

If the guy in the white house didn't drink fake wine before posting the tweet, does that mean that the news released by Roadside News might be damn true?

This is truly the reconciliation of the century!
So Qiao Yu's previous history was dug up by talented Chinese netizens...

"Fuck! It's really unreasonable that Nobel didn't give Academician Qiao Yu a peace prize. Brothers, do you remember? When Qiao Yu just entered college, he facilitated the century-long reconciliation between the two leading figures in the Chinese mathematics community.

After he hosted his first product launch conference, he also facilitated the century-long reconciliation between the first and second child of Little Ball! I now have reason to suspect that Academician Qiao Yu has the gene of the Holy Body of Reconciliation! It's so awesome!"
