Reborn Tech Maniac

Chapter 381 Laptop and Spy Farce
As one of the billions of individuals, how to stand out and occupy a place in contemporary society, and even in ancient and modern history, instead of being a passer-by who is dispensable and obliterated by everyone?

Obviously, we can only rely on the point of "capable people can't".

The reason why the Olympic Games, which are held every four years, attract so much attention is that people can fairly compete for the first place, break records and realize their personal dreams through "faster, higher and stronger".

The eyes switch to the political arena. The politicians who are busy and perform to the best of their ability are nothing more than doing what "capable people can't".

Among the successive US Secretaries of State in the original time and space, the first woman was Madeleine Albright, and the first African American was Colin Powell.

Condoleezza Rice——Condoleezza Rice, by combining these two points, became the first African-American female secretary of state, and also reached the height of "different" in life.

One of Tang Huan's resumes belongs to Rice, who is currently an assistant professor of political science at Stanford University.

Similar to the phenomenon of "three thousand diners" in the Warring States Period in China, Tang Huan implemented a similar system of supporting scholars beside him, but he used various names to cover up the essence.

Among Tang Huan's many subordinates, there are many black people, such as Chuck Smith, the CEO of Pacific Communications, who is in high position.

There are more black people on the three major league teams of the Oakland Raiders, Oakland Athletics, and Golden State Warriors.

Even among Tang Huan's security assistants, tall and strong black figures can be seen.

But Tang Huan really doesn't have high-end female talents like Rice.

In fact, this is also determined by objective reality. You must know that Rice can be classified as an exceptional group. He was born in a very rare and superior black family environment. His father was the vice president of the University of Denver, and his mother was a music teacher.

Tang Huan couldn't help laughing to himself, the world is really wonderful, and he already has a complicated connection with the Bush family, but he didn't expect that the powerful hawk general in time and space would come to his door on his own initiative.

In this case, I will work hard, "tune_teach" the other party, and then choose the opportunity to send him to the political team of the Bush family. I believe it will be a good network investment.

Thinking of Tang Huan here, he moved Rice's resume to the bottom, handed it to Tang Wenmao, and said, "Let's interview in this order."

……

As an elite, Rice's resume is naturally relatively glamorous. His first job began in 1977 as an intern at the Educational and Cultural Affairs Bureau of the Carter Administration.

Madeleine Albright's father, a diplomat in exile from Czechoslovakia to the United States, Professor Kerber, can be regarded as Rice's first teacher at the University of Denver.

Because of this relationship, Rice, who was only 26 years old last year, also focused on the political and military aspects of Czechoslovakia when he obtained his doctorate in international relations.

For the past two years, Rice has received funding from the Ford Foundation for the Soviet and International Security Project, researching arms control and disarmament programs.

The scope of this funding is limited to Harvard University, Stanford University, Columbia University, University of California, and Massachusetts Institute of Technology. As a result, when Rice applied to Harvard University and Stanford University, the former did not respond to her.

In this way, Rice came to Stanford University and became an assistant professor of political science here.

In fact, although Rice has outstanding ability and excellent academic performance, it is an indisputable social reality that black people are underestimated or even discriminated against, and encounter various professional ceilings.

Take the current interview as an example. Tang Huan is sitting in the middle, with a team of assistants on both sides. At this time, he is unceremoniously asking Rice frequently. There is no respect for personal privacy at all.

In fact, regardless of the international relations topics that Rice is studying at this stage, the name is quite bluffing, but using Chinese words to describe the nature of his work is just two words-"retreat", which is appreciated by political leaders. Only with this kind of concept can the value be reflected, otherwise it is empty guns and empty talk.

According to the historical development, Rice will not be appreciated until at least 1985 when she meets Brent Scowcroft, the leader of the foreign policy of the Republican Party of the United States, and then gradually enters the senior Bush team.

As for now, Rice can only bow his head in the job of assistant professor and struggle for qualifications.

Tang Huan could tell that Rice longed for a bigger stage, and she valued the position she offered, so even if she encountered unceremonious or even sharp questions, she would endure and deal with them patiently.

To be a successful politician requires not only talent but also experience.

In Tang Huan's view, Rice, who is about the same age as him, has good potential, but his current ability is limited to just talking on paper.

But it is also because of this that it is relatively easy to "tune_teach" the other party, and whether it becomes a hawk or a dove in the end is determined by the interests of the sponsor.

Seeing that after repeated verbal bombardment, Rice has maintained an attitude of not being surprised, Tang Huan secretly judged that the other party was qualified, so he opened his mouth and chatted about some irrelevant and light topics in a kind tone different from others.

For example, Rice skipped grades in the first and seventh grades, and her dream of becoming a professional pianist.

"When I was 16, I went to the University of Denver's Lamont School of Music to study piano, but the summer between my sophomore and junior years, when I went to the Aspen Music Festival, I got hit with some 11-year-olds, just watching At a glance, I can play the piece that I have been practicing for a year, so I don't think I can wait until the day I play at Carnegie Hall." Reistan said honestly.

It can be seen that Rice must have taken special etiquette lessons. Regardless of the tense conversation in the first half or the relaxed chat in the second half, she has maintained a feminine dignity.

"Everyone will face major choices. For example, women will generally consider whether they want to marry well or do well. The decision you made at that time obviously opened up another sky for yourself." Tang Huan said Nodded without appreciation.

Infected by the relaxed atmosphere, Rice obviously relaxed a lot, but Tang Huan's considerations in Russian, French, and Spanish made her quickly enter a tense state again.

After showing an unprecedented look of embarrassment, Rice secretly regretted that if he had known this, he would not have introduced the language ability in such detail on his resume, but this Mr. Tang also acted too tough.

Just when Rice was feeling uneasy, Tang Huan said, "Our work should not conflict with your original work as an assistant professor. It's not impossible to balance the two aspects. It mainly depends on how you coordinate. Okay, that's it." , you passed, Miss Rice."

Hearing this result, although Rice tried his best to control himself and maintain a dignified manner as required by the etiquette class, his face still showed uncontrollable joy.

She is not very satisfied with her current career, and the job opportunity provided by Tang Huan is a great opportunity. She can become a business executive if she retires, and she can enter politics from business to continue her career ideals.

In this final round of interviews, Rice is not the only one who passed the test. After all, she is only a theory school on paper, and Tang Huan only pays attention to her potential. Candidates with outstanding achievements.

At this time, Tang Wenmao came over and reported the news in a low voice, "Two war reporters from CNN were imprisoned by the Argentine army on the Falklands because they suspected that the Fangyuan laptop they were carrying was a spy. equipment."

After Tang Huan was stunned for a while, he shook his head dumbfounded, "Nonsense, they still have time to engage in such a farce."

With the help of the old ship king's foundation in international trade, as early as late March, Christina helped CNN establish a temporary communication station in Argentina, and it was officially recognized by the Argentine government. Even the two war correspondents Going to Falklands also reported to the British side.

So taking advantage of this first-mover advantage, CNN was the first to announce in the United States the news that the Argentine army landed on Falklands and the British side announced their surrender. Even the three traditional TV networks had to quote their little brother, CNN. first-hand reports.

All of a sudden, the cable news network, which itself had the advantage of grasping the latest developments of the Fisher fleet's search for the Titanic, became more and more popular and trampled on the secret joint suppression of the traditional three major TV networks, and its ratings continued to rise.

This was exactly the result Tang Huan hoped to see. Gein's dog was the most loyal to protect his master, so he worked very hard to support Ted Turner.

But now that two war correspondents on the front line have been locked up, the edge of instant news on the spot that CNN relied on to drive attention is gone.

This is precisely what Tang Huan cannot tolerate. He has no interest in arguing about who is more reasonable, Argentina or Britain. To put it bluntly, it is an internal fight between you Europeans and colonial descendants.

Now that the cable news network’s prestige war reporting method has been cut off, it is far from enough to rely on the news of the Titanic to maintain attention.

Tang Huan frowned and instructed Tang Wenmao, "There must be something going on here. You should inquire carefully, and ask Ted Turner what's going on."

It has to be said that the three traditional American TV networks have always harbored an unspoken malice towards the cable news network, which operates in a novel form and exudes endless vitality. Trouble made a joint report that he liked to hear and saw, and he also expressed great concern for the safety of the two war reporters, but no matter how you look at it, there is a sense of gloating.

But what the three major TV networks did not expect was that their deeds aroused the audience's other interest, that is, what kind of equipment did the two war reporters of the CNN bring to lead to the occupation of the Falkland Islands? of the Argentine army.

Undoubtedly, CNN gave the answer at the first time, showing the latest high-tech product, the Fangyuan notebook computer, which weighs only 5 kilograms, on TV.

Compared with the original notebook computer more than ten years later in time and space, except that there is no lithium battery, the Fangyuan notebook computer has basically achieved the same.

Although there is no LCD support, the ELDs used in Fangyuan laptops—electroluminescent displays—are also a viable commercial implementation of flat-panel displays.

However, the manufacture of this display also encountered some troubles in the industrial production process, which dragged down the progress of Fangyuan Computer Company's market promotion.

Now, the existence of the Fangyuan laptop is mainly known to professional circles, and the evidence is mostly photos.

Therefore, this is the first time that the Fangyuan notebook computer has appeared in front of the public on a large scale, and all those who have seen the true face of this product immediately have a question whether they are watching a sci-fi movie.

In fact, the Fangyuan portable computer, which also focuses on the mobile computer brand, has gradually become outstanding in the consumer market. It has won the favor of consumers because of its advantages in software and hardware maturity far surpassing similar products such as Osborne 1 and Kaypro II. , just a $2900 to $3500 price tag that everyone either loves or hates.

Compared with the already well-known Fangyuan portable computer, the weight of the Fangyuan notebook computer that we just met has been directly reduced from 10 kg to 5 kg, and the same size is 9 inches. The ELDs display is also much more pleasing to the eye than the CRT display.

Regardless of whether they need computers at work or not, almost all viewers who saw the Fangyuan laptop felt the admiration of "a gentle lady and a gentleman", so they called CNN one after another to inquire about the price and other related information.

Why don't you care about our war reporters, but are so interested in cold computer equipment?

Depressed CNN, despite being aggrieved, still gave an answer, "The product we use is said to be a top model, worth $20000. As for the details, you should ask the manufacturer."

After hearing this answer, everyone was shocked, "It's so expensive", but after thinking about it, they thought, "Such an advanced product should be at this price."

Tang Huan didn't know how to express his opinion on this heated discussion on the Fangyuan laptop, which was completely out of the marketing plan. Could it be that he should thank the Argentine army in the Falkland Islands for directing this spy farce?
Soon, further information about this incident was collected in Tang Huan's hands.
