Chapter 77 Six Dreams
After visiting the Hsinchu Science Industrial Park, which is still under construction, Chen Chong went to the nearby Tsinghua University in Taiwan and gave a speech, which was specially arranged by Wei Jingmeng.
Among the thirty-six strategies, false idiots are the strategy of winning in defeat, and it is a double-edged sword. Playboys are a mask to deal with the media and public opinion, and are used to avoid moral accusations. However, if everyone, especially those young students who admire him because of the legendary and inspirational history of Shen Chong, think he is an arrogant and despicable playboy, it will be no more worth it. You should know that in the RU era, whether in the mainland or Taiwan, college students are the pride of heaven, and the future social elites are important to leave a good impression.
Whether it is Sima Yi or Zhu Di, he has never relaxed his influence on his own power when he pretends to be crazy and stupid. Chen Chong is young, and every young student may become his business support in the future.
"There is a famous female writer in Taiwan named Qiong Yao. I believe everyone here doesn't know." Chen Chong stood in a black shirt and holding a chalk in a staircase classroom at Tsinghua University in Taiwan, giving an impromptu speech to the full students: "Qiu Yao wrote a book called "Six Dreams" in 2019, the Chinese New Year of the Republic of China, which tells six love stories. Today I will also talk about my 'Six Dreams... Don't make a fuss, what I want to talk about is not pink dreams. To be honest, although I am fickle, I am a very shy person..."
There was endless laughter in the room.
After the laughter ended, Chen Chong continued: "I don't like to talk about personal love stories in public, so the six dreams I want to talk about today are six fantasies about future technology."
"The first dream, mobile communication... Taiwan's economy is very developed now. I believe every household has a telephone, but do you think it is inconvenient to use a telephone? Let's not talk about work, I will just talk about dating. Everyone is young and likes to fall in love, right? Love is a kind of love, and I always think about each other. But in life, in addition to falling in love, we also have to eat, exercise, study, and shop. In short, we should not separate. If we separate, we naturally have to make a phone call and express our feelings to each other. However, the telephone line is so long. Once we walk out of the house, we are in a state of losing contact. Calling, uh, no one can be found. Then I had all kinds of suspicions, was he with other girls? Is he sick? Is he angry and ignored me? There are various misunderstandings, which many people have experienced, and they often act in movies and TV... So my first dream is mobile communication." Chen Chong picked up the chalk and gestured, and continued: "It's just such a big phone, using radio waves as communication technology, put it in his pocket, call at any time, answering at any time, yes, it's like a walkie-talkie, but the communication range is much larger, and you can call internationally for long distances, and it's not a problem to call from Taiwan to the United States..."
"The second dream, personal computer... Twenty years ago, TVs were still rare, and now TVs have entered every household. Personal computers are very expensive now. Everyone should have heard of Apple's name. The latest model of Apple 11 is priced at up to US$1,300, and does not have a monitor. With shipping, tariffs and marketing costs, the price in Taiwan is more than NT$U,000. Although I am one of the largest shareholders of Apple, I personally think that the price is too outrageous. My ideal personal computer should be priced at NT$1,300. It should be around $500, and it comes with a monitor... My dream is that in the future, all families, at least, pay attention to at least one personal computer, and in the company, every staff member has a computer, because a computer is a good thing, which not only allows entertainment, but also greatly improves work efficiency... Finally, let me say something off topic. Think about how many years have you used the TV? Think about it, what a big business would it be if each computer is $500?"
"The third dream, the Internet... My second dream is to turn personal computers into popularization of electrical appliances like TVs, but you should know that the reason why TVs are popularized is that all TVs are interconnected through TV stations. Without TV stations, TVs are waste... The functions of personal computers are much richer and more powerful than TVs. If all personal computers can be interconnected and information is shared in real time, think about it, what will happen?... In front of TV, everyone is being
The information recipients are active, and in front of personal computers, everyone is a participant in the information and can interact in real time... There are many benefits of real-time interaction. For example, in an environment where everyone has a computer, the government has issued relevant policies, and there is no need to post notices everywhere to promote it. Just post them on the Internet. Then everyone can see it, and the interpretation of the policy can also be instantly interacted, which is convenient and fast, and can also prevent bureaucrats from procrastinating and misunderstanding at all levels... So my third dream is the interconnection of all computers around the world.
Zhang Mingzhe, the president of Tsinghua University, heard this and turned his head to He Yici and said, "Dr. He, Mr. Shen is young and has a very good level. I was born in chemical engineering and knew nothing about the computer industry. Now I listened to him, but I didn't have any effort at all. I was clear and well-organized, and I said it well, and I was like a bead of witty words, which made people think a lot. I am really a hero."
"A person's occasional success can still be attributed to luck, but it is definitely not luck to be successful." He Yici nodded and said, "Many of Mr. Shen's ideas were regarded as jokes when they were first proposed, but they were quickly proved to be correct by facts. Therefore, his reputation in Silicon Valley in the United States is no lower than that of Jobs, the founder of Apple. I have also heard that Jobs regards himself very highly, but regards Shen Chong as a confidant and admires him very much. It can be seen that Mr. Shen is not a lucky chance to become a world-renowned entrepreneur."
"The fourth dream, electronic games... I believe that many of the people here have played "trI", which is commonly known as "electronic Cube in Taiwan, as well as "Pac Man", "Tank War", etc. These are all produced by my company. Is it fun?... Thank you, thank you for your kindness... But I want to say that the functions of electronic games are still too simple, and the graphics, sound, and operation experience are very poor... In my third dream, all personal computers are interconnected. If we can develop a real-time interactive game based on this, so that all players around the world can play games online at the same time, everyone controls the game characters, talks and chats, cooperates with each other to dig treasures, and competes with each other, what kind of game experience will it be?"
"The fifth dream, visual effects... I just said that the audio and video effects of electronic games are too poor now, so what is my ideal audio and video effect?... The every move of virtual characters and the movements of virtual environments are exactly the same as the real one. In short, it is a scene made by visual effects. If you put it on the screen, you can't tell whether it is true or false. I believe that in the near future, it will appear in the field of film production first... We in China have many myths and legends, and with the current film production technology, it can't be filmed at all. For example, there is a story in "Journey to the West", which tells the battle between Erlang Shen and Sun Wukong.
Sun Wukong was defeated, transformed into a sparrow, Erlang Shen immediately turned into a harrier eagle to catch it, Sun Wukong became a big mortar and rushed to the sky, Erlang Shen followed him to change into a sea crane, chasing him, Sun Wukong became a fish, fleeing into a water, Erlang Shen persevered and turned into an osprey to catch it, and so, the two of them went back and forth, changing many times. This story is extremely exciting, and just looking at the text is fascinating. If you can use visual special effects technology to make it into a movie, wouldn’t it be a feast for you? The rest, such as Lingxiao Palace and the East Sea Dragon Palace, are all extremely magnificent and magical places, and you can’t shoot it with existing technology... So my fifth dream is visual special effects."
"The sixth dream is also the last dream. I call it the Creative Country... The above five dreams are all building a material foundation for my sixth dream... I have always said this on different occasions. Hardware serves software. Now, I will add another sentence later, that is, software serves content..."
"Broadly speaking, people spend a lot of money to buy a computer, then open the electronic trial calculation software, start calculating various data, and the report that they finally made is the content, but in my dream, 'content refers to chivalrous content, specifically, movies, TV shows, literary works, comics and animations, etc...."
"I have a film company, so I'll use movies as an example. Now, the hardware cost of filming is very high. A better professional camera can cost millions of dollars. Even if it's rented, the rent is not cheap. A box of film costs NT$40,000 to NT$50,000, and each box can only be filmed for four minutes. In addition, there is also printing... In short, the hardware cost of making a movie is very high. In addition, software such as buying scripts, actor pay and other expenses, ordinary people cannot afford the shooting costs at all, but I think many people have a dream of movies. When I realize the five dreams, it will become very simple to make movies. As far as I know, some companies in the United States and Japan are already studying digital photography technology...
The development of computer technology in the past is a move that affects the whole body. When my five dreams are realized, maybe people can use cameras as big as chalk to shoot movies everywhere. Digital cameras do not require film, saving printing costs. After the movie is shot, there is no need to ask the institute to sign contracts, divide the money, and do tedious activities like this. You only need to put the filmed movies on the Internet, set a viewing price, and then sit at home and wait for the bank to give money... Of course, other content, such as novels, can also adopt this strategy to avoid exploitation from publishers and directly face the final readers' sales..."
"All these things are just like when the hardware parameters of a computer are improved, software is the key to determining sales. When people's material life becomes increasingly rich, the content becomes one of the signs of strength of a country or region... Good content is all based on culture as the core and driven by creativity. China has the oldest and best culture in the world, so I hope that when the five dreams are realized, China is also the best creative country in the world. Creation is the content that everyone in the world is amazed and impressed by.
After Shen Chong finished speaking, he bowed amid applause and said, "Thank you everyone."
