Chapter 1107 Is network and communication really that important?
Bai Weiren respects scientists very much and says he dare not get angry with them. This is a bit self-deprecating. He does have a bad temper. During meetings, officials are trembling with fear for fear that some data are not grasped clearly. Bai Weiren himself is an economic expert, and others
He couldn't deceive even if he wanted to. He often asked questions when others were reporting, and if the other party couldn't answer the question, he would be punished.
"You're welcome, Vice Premier Bai. This is our job, and of course we must work hard to do it well."
Lu Xiaoren quickly answered.
"We all have our own jobs. As long as we all do our best, some jobs can't be completed without all our efforts. Liu Lang, I heard that you want to build a local area network. Are you sure?"
Bai Weiren asked Liu Lang when he came up, and everyone present was a little surprised.
This time, Bai Weiren organized a regular economic meeting. This kind of meeting is usually held once a month to analyze the current economic situation. Although it will not take too long, it is also an important meeting and must be formulated in advance.
Process, for example, the economic commission department first reports on output value and fixed asset investment, the Commerce Bureau reports on the introduction of foreign investment, the finance department reports on expenditures and taxes, etc.
Liu Lang's participation in the meeting was not included in the agenda. Obviously, he was asked to come here just for the sake of convenience. He had attended such meetings before, but he always put them at the end. Something was different today. Bai Weiren was the first to ask Liu Lang.
In the name of Lang, what other local area network is there? What is this?
Most people are confused.
"You must not know what a LAN bar is."
Before Liu Lang could answer, Bai Weiren looked at everyone again.
No one spoke at the scene.
"Has anyone read this book?"
Bai Weiren put a book on the table, and Liu Lang saw that it was "Digital Survival" written by himself.
"Professor Lu, have you read this book?"
Bai Weiren looked at Lu Xiaoren again.
"Vice Premier Bai, this was written by Liu Lang. It is now a must-read book for students in our school. I have also read it, but I don't understand it. I am older and my thinking cannot keep up with my youth."
"Well, it's very good after reading it. I also struggled to read this book. I couldn't understand many parts. But there is no doubt that this book is very good. It outlines a future era, just like what Liu Lang wrote back then.
"The Third Industry Wave" can predict the future direction of the world economy, and this book is also epoch-making."
Bai Weiren patted "Digital Survival" gently.
"Digital Survival"? What kind of book is this?
Many people began to whisper among themselves, but they had never heard of it! Also, what is digitalization? How to survive? In short, they do not understand this title.
Indeed, in the 1990s, not to mention the Chinese, even the vast majority of Americans did not know what digitalization was.
Bai Weiren frowned slightly. It doesn't matter that ordinary people don't know what digitalization is, but who are the people here? They are the leaders of the country and various industries. Their cognition determines the development level of this industry. How?
Do you understand digitalization? And this book has been out for more than a year, so you should read it.
Bai Weiren uses himself to judge others, and feels that others should read more of the good books he considers, but after all, few people can reach his height.
"Okay, everyone, don't discuss this issue. Go back and read this book carefully. It will be helpful to everyone. Liu Lang, you should tell me your plan!"
Bai Weiren waved his hand to signal everyone to quiet down.
Liu Lang was not polite and stood up to explain his idea of building a campus LAN.
Bai Weiren was taking notes from time to time while listening. Others saw Bai Weiren recording and quickly wrote down what Liu Lang said, although they didn't understand what he was talking about.
Liu Lang first started with the current level of the United States, then compared it with his own, and at the same time clarified the importance of the network.
"Liu Lang, is the Internet really so important?"
Bai Weiren interjected.
"It's very, very important. In fact, the Internet is just the surface. The deeper level is the popularization of digitalization. For ordinary people, this is a disruptive change. Our lives will be completely changed. For the country, digital technology brings
The impact will be even greater and far-reaching. Let me give an analogy, take war as an example. If one side has digital communication technology and the other side still uses traditional communication methods, then this war will not be able to proceed. Their strength will be
It's not equal.
Let me make a bold prediction here: Now that Iraq has launched a war of aggression against Kuwait, if the United States intervenes in this war, Iraq will become like a child and die miserably."
A month ago, Iraq launched a war against Kuwait. Now Kuwait has been completely occupied by Iraq. Many people had expected this war, and the result was no surprise. The powerful Iraq cannot be resisted by the weak Kuwait.
This is clearly an act of aggression, and the United Nations has stated that it wants Iraq to withdraw from Kuwait immediately.
However, Iraq obviously will not accept it. It is now confident and feels that it owns oil. If you sanction me, it will definitely affect the world oil price, and it will probably break up.
Indeed, many countries are very worried that the United Nations sanctions on Iraq will significantly increase oil prices and affect their own energy issues. This is the case for countries. Their own interests come first. What does other countries have to do with them?
However, the United States stood up and fully supported the sanctions against Iraq, and also issued a warning to use force against Iraq.
Many countries did not take the warning from the United States seriously and felt that they would not take action.
Although the United States has a strong military strength, Iraq is not a soft persimmon, especially since they are sitting on the home field. The vast desert is a natural barrier. Ten years ago, the Soviet Union launched the Afghan War, and the equally powerful Soviet Union fought for a full ten years.
Time has not won, because the vast desert and the endless stream of guerrillas have plunged their army into an endless sea of sand and "people's war."
A weak Afghanistan makes the powerful Soviet Union at a loss what to do, not to mention the powerful Iraq. Therefore, many countries feel that the United States will not go to war with Iraq, and even if they can win in the end, they will pay a heavy price.
Chinese senior officials also think so. They feel that Americans are in a dilemma now. Don't fight. Your younger brother is being bullied. If your elder brother doesn't stand up, he may lose his authority. Fight. The result is likely to be like the Vietnam War. In the end, it will end up in the country.
God is angry and people are angry.
Senior officials still prefer the United States to solve this big trouble through political means. The likely result is that Kuwait will cede a lot of interests and Iraq will withdraw its troops. After all, the oil issue is a big problem in the world. Fortunately, China is still barely self-sufficient in oil.
, has little to do with world oil prices.
Now Liu Lang proposed in front of everyone that if the Americans send troops, Iraq will definitely not be able to stop it. The gap between the two sides is like that of an adult and a child. This view has aroused discussion among many people. Many people think that Liu Lang is
He is talking nonsense, and he is even suspected of exaggerating the strength of the United States. In short, not many people believe his views.
