Rebirth of the Tech Madman

This proposal can be said to be beneficial to the World Economic Forum, and Klaus Schwab certainly has no reason to refuse.

It's just that he is a little curious-to what extent the current Internet can achieve compared with traditional media in terms of information dissemination.

Tang Huan took it as a chat topic and patiently explained: The theoretical maximum network speed that ordinary users are exposed to daily is the fastest LAN, which can reach 100mbit/s; the wide area network is much slower, about 56kbit/s to 128kbit/s ; If the wireless network is included, the level of the wireless local area network is about 1mbit/s; as for the 2G network such as gsm, it is only 14.4kbit/s.

Our existing streaming media technology can already achieve real-time smooth radio broadcasts with CD sound quality on a 28kbit/s network.

If the network bandwidth is further ideal, streaming media technology can achieve video transmission with acceptable quality.

Klaus Schwab couldn't help admiring, This streaming media technology is so amazing!

To put it bluntly, the principle is actually simple. Tang Huan smiled slightly, After the media data is compressed according to a certain mathematical algorithm, it is encapsulated into small information packets, rather than sent as a whole, like flowing water; in this way, the client will Through the buffer mechanism, it can play and receive at the same time, achieving instant effects.

Speaking of this, Tang Huan turned to ask: Now various companies and institutions are actively building World Wide Web sites-does the World Economic Forum have any intentions in this regard?

Is it difficult to realize? Klaus Schwab asked with interest.

Tang Huan laughed loudly, I think it shouldn't be too difficult for me!

Klaus Schwab shook his head with a smirk, I asked knowingly.

...

The richest man intentionally slowed down his schedule in Europe, but the shocking news came from Chang'an City in the United States.

After various activities, Lee Tenghui's plan to visit Cornell University in the United States was finally achieved - from June 7th to June 12th, he visited Cornell University in the name of a private trip and delivered a public speech.

As a result, Li Denghui, who stopped on the west coast of the United States, went to Silicon Valley and visited a small company established there by a few entrepreneurs from Baodao; then, knowing that the male owner was not at home, he still visited Chang'an City and said There was a message like Mr. Tang is the uncle of Baodao, so he should walk around often and so on.

Tang Huan couldn't help swearing angrily at this - in order to succeed in being re-elected, this old guy went crazy with his reputation!

Li Denghui received a joint scholarship from the Rockefeller Agricultural Economics Association and Cornell University in 1964, and went to Cornell University in 1965 to study for a doctorate in agricultural economics; until 1968, he obtained a doctorate in agricultural economics.

It is based on this origin that Li Denghui has been planning a trip to Cornell University since last year. To this end, he spent millions of dollars and hired Cassidy, a powerful political lobbying company, to help him with public relations.

There are roughly three types of political lobbying in the United States—direct lobbying, agency lobbying, and indirect lobbying.

Direct lobbying refers to organizations such as the American Farmers Association, the American Federation of Manufacturers, and the Rifle Association, which collect membership fees and exist in the form of membership, directly stating that they represent the interests of their members and their industries or circles.

Agency lobbying means that clients pay to entrust public relations companies in the form of law firms, political public relations companies, policy strategy companies, etc., to use a set of professional methods and social network to achieve their goals.

Indirect lobbying refers to those think tanks that seem to be neutral, publish some tendentious survey reports, etc., and exert influence through resources such as public opinion and contacts.

Cassidy, whom Li Denghui hired at a high price, is a lobbyist.

Its position in the industry can be regarded as pivotal.

The company was founded in January 1975 and is headquartered in Washington DC. The founder and owner, Jared Cassidy, served as the chief legal counsel of the U.S. Senate Committee on Nutrition and Humane Needs from 1969 to 1973. ; Between 1974 and 1975, he served as the legal adviser to the Democratic National Committee of the United States.

There are countless complex rules in political lobbying, and Jared Cassidy, with his legal qualifications, naturally meets the standards.

He brought in some retired politicians in the United States to serve as the backbone of the company, and created four major lobbyists-in addition to himself, there was also Powell, the White House press secretary during the Carter administration; ~Ford, an expert on China affairs of the Central Intelligence Agency; Ted, the press secretary of former US President Reagan's wife Nancy.

With its deep and special background, Cassidy Corporation has established close relationships with American academic circles, major news media, and major civil society organizations, thereby exerting influence on US government officials and members of Congress.

The strength of the Cassidy Company, which ranks among the top in the US public relations field, can be seen from the tens of millions of dollars in turnover generated by the business it has received, and the gang of lip service lobbyists also earn a lot of money. For example, Jared Cassidy earns $760,000 and Powell earns $480,000.

Last year, Li Deng Hui asked his confidant, the big shopkeeper Liu Taiying, to set up a Comprehensive Research Institute known as the Underground Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which was specially used to engage in public relations in the United States. Cassidy signed a three-year contract to help with the campaign.

You must know that the representative of Baodao in the United States hires a public relations company in the United States, which costs about 80,000 US dollars a year.

This shows how much effort Li Denghui has put in.

After the Cassidy company got the money, it began to work for the employer, lobbying the White House, the State Department, and the Congress, especially exerting a key influence on the members of the US Congress, their families, and assistants.

In the end, the Cassidy Company got 76 senators and 37 members of the House of Representatives to jointly invite Li Denghui to visit the United States; they encouraged the Senate and the House of Representatives to pass bills requiring the Clinton administration to allow Li Denghui to visit the United States ; Planning more than 200 media outlets across the United States to publish editorials to support Li Denghui's visit to the United States.

Originally, the U.S. State Department, which is well aware of China's attitude, strongly opposed it, and even U.S. Secretary of State Warren Christopher once informally expressed to China that the U.S. side does not support Li Denghui's visit to the United States; There was a lot of movement, so the U.S. State Department, under pressure from Congress and media public opinion, submitted the hot potato whether to approve it to the White House for President Bill Clinton to make a decision.

On May 22, the U.S. State Department announced that President Clinton agreed to allow Li Denghui to enter the United States as a private visit to participate in the activities of the Cornell University Alumni Association as an outstanding alumni.

In this way, the nearly 17-year practice of no top official from Taiwan to visit the United States was broken.

After Li Denghui arrived at Cornell University, he even delivered a public speech entitled What the people want, grows in my heart - the purpose of this trip can be said to have been fully achieved.

Tang Huan, who knew all these things well, originally only wanted to watch a play, but he never expected that Li Denghui would suddenly go around his number one mansion and be hyped by the media.

During the more than one year of activities, Li Denghui once said that he wanted to drop in to the Silicon Valley site of the richest man; this year, after confirming his attendance at the 5.9 celebration in Russia, Tang Huan naturally declined.

Unexpectedly, Li Denghui actually came here uninvited.

Tang Huan frowned and pondered - this damn is trying to make trouble!

If you ask this world, besides Li Denghui himself, who else knows what he really wants to do, then Tang Huan will definitely be ranked first.

Just like what Li Denghui said about the Uncle Treasure Island, let's think about how much prestige can Tang Huan bring to Tang Huan just because of the world-famous two daughters, Deng Lijun and Lin Qingxia?

And this is only superficial help; coupled with Tang Huan's steady management in the political and economic circles for many years, it is not difficult to imagine how powerful the richest man is in the small treasure island.

Li Denghui definitely wanted to split up the party he was currently serving for quietly, so naturally he had to break any possible glue.

Therefore, looking at the relevant information collected in his hands, Tang Huan, who has been in the rivers and lakes for many years, would not believe that Li Denghui went to Chang'an City just to help him re-elect to earn his reputation - there must be a sinister purpose in it.

The high-tech industry is of great significance to Taiwan's economy, especially the source of foreign exchange. And Tang Huan's investment almost started from the initial stage of Baodao's high-tech industry. The origin of each other can be described as deep to the extreme.

The current international capital situation is that the United States has not only pushed the exchange rate of the yen to the dollar to within 100:1, even to an unprecedented level of 80:1, but also conveniently reduced the exchange rate of the New Taiwan dollar to the dollar from the previous close to 40:1. :1 interval, forced to the current 25:1 or so.

On the other hand, due to various reasons, the exchange rate of RMB against the US dollar has been maintained at a range above 8.27 yuan.

Under such circumstances, even Formosa Capital couldn't restrain the urge to go to the mainland, let alone the richest man.

Therefore, Tang Huan can't use the greatest malice to infer that Li Denghui wanted to use the most common trick of pushing him to the top in Water Margin to use this investment contrast in his most fundamental high-tech industry to create troubles and force Mr. Richest Man made a clear statement.

If he gets what he wants, then Li Deng will make a lot of money; if he is rejected, Tang Huan will undoubtedly create hatred in Baodao.

In this regard, Mr. Richest, who has always been good at protecting himself, was very angry-isn't Xiangjiang's example not obvious enough, don't use me as a bargaining chip to make trouble, otherwise, the consequences will be very serious!

...

On June 13th, Li Deng Hui returned to Taiwan from the United States, and he was greeted with high prestige—after all, he broke the practice that no top official from Taiwan had visited the United States for nearly 17 years.

Think about it, Deng Lijun was treated as a victim of collective venting of frustration because of a so-called fake passport incident, and you know how much Baodao cares about this.

Although Li Denghui put on a calm appearance on the surface of a master who is planning and controlling everything, he is indescribably proud in his heart-the trip to the United States, killing birds with one stone, is really worth it, and his painstaking efforts are not in vain Been in business for over a year.

After he was almost tired of hearing the compliments from his subordinates, Li Denghui asked unhurriedly—what was the reaction from the mainland.

After hearing the report of no response, Li Deng waved his hand in frustration - the news that Lian Zhan was going to visit Europe could be exposed by the media.

This time, the hornet's nest was finally stabbed, and China began to make political statements. On June 16, it announced the recall of the ambassador to the United States, Li Daoyu, expressing dissatisfaction with the United States; at the same time, the communication channel with Baodao was closed, and the planned Jiao-Tang talks and the second Gu-Wang talks were all postponed.

Li Denghui didn't care about this, he just called his confidant Liu Taiying to inquire - what's Tang Huan's reaction?

Still, no response.

After receiving this answer, Li Denghui couldn't help muttering in his heart—it shouldn't be!

You know, Li Denghui's trip to the United States has created a lot of momentum in the media, and he turned a corner at Chang'an City, so he naturally included Tang Huan - the richest man's Uncle Baodao The title suddenly spread loudly after many years.

This time, it is obviously different from the previous complete gossip, but under the deliberate promotion, political expectations have been added. After all, the status of the person concerned is more important than before.

Seeing her boss looking disappointed, Liu Taiying hastily added: This trend will not subside so easily, and the trend of killing Tang Huan is already set.

Now there is a comparison made by the media. The 1986 Nobel Prize winner in Chemistry Li Yuanzhe, who was awarded the US National Medal of Science in the same year as Tang Huan, has returned to Baodao and actively participated in the affairs of his hometown. 'How can you be vague?

Li Denghui suddenly laughed knowingly, This is what the people want!

It's more than that. Liu Taiying continued to report: The more and more active Li Ao also said that Tang Huan has made so much money from Baodao these years, so he can't really make a fortune in silence, he should publish himself Views.

Li Denghui couldn't hide his schadenfreude and said, It's a good pinch...

There are more. Seeing that the boss was very interested, Liu Taiying once again presented the treasure and said: It's no secret that Tang Huan has a deep relationship with the Wang family. And the young master of the Wang family who has always regarded you as an idol also urged Tang Huan, you should Express your opinion.

Li Denghui nodded when he heard this, This situation is well established - if Tang Huan is on our side, it will be even more powerful; otherwise, he will be notorious in Treasure Island, and there will be one less potential resistance .”
