1991 Starting from the core

At 4:30 in the afternoon, the meeting adjourned on time.

After everyone said hello, they were divided into "small groups" according to "cliques" and left the administration building.

People are separated when they are in love, and work has different fields. We usually deal with each other a lot and meet a lot. After the meeting, they will naturally come together. This is understandable.

For example, Teacher Ma came together with Pony and other Internet people - in addition to the three Internet giants, there was also Wan Yongliang.

Seeing that Pony and others were silent and looking thoughtful, Teacher Ma was not in a position to speak. But when the five of them walked to the promenade along the artificial lake and sat down, Teacher Ma finally couldn't help it anymore.

"Guys... I have a question."

"What?" Pony and Teacher Ma are relatively close. After all, the two companies now have cross-shareholdings. TB is using EM's traffic and entrance to expand aggressively, officially launching a head-on challenge to the eso+Amazon bundle in overseas markets. Pony immediately turned to look at him.

"Well... what Mr. Shan proposed this afternoon is the direction of future technological development for the entire Yuanxin in the face of the new industrial revolution, right?"

Teacher Ma prides himself on being good at "speaking", but in such venues, he has always maintained the habit of only using his ears and not using his mouth. Now he is even more careful about his words, for fear that his expression will be misunderstood.

"Well, it should be." Pony glanced at Ding Lei, who was already sitting next to him, and nodded with a smile: "After all, Mr. Shan always looks first."

"Then when did we start investing and proceeding?" Teacher Ma asked immediately.

This moment stopped Pony in his tracks, but soon, Ding Lei laughed from the side: "We are sitting together now, isn't it just to discuss this matter?"

Teacher Ma: "..."

At this time, Wan Yongliang, who had not spoken much, looked at Teacher Ma. He smiled meaningfully: "Old Ma, do you think today's executive board meeting was like a mission conference?"

Teacher Ma was slightly startled and immediately coughed.

Wan Yongliang's words touched his heart.

He has been on the executive board of FarCore for less than two years. Every previous meeting, no matter what the topic, was essentially a summary and exchange of the current international and domestic economic forms and industry development. Although the investment directions proposed were discussed and voted on by everyone, In fact, except for the executive directors involved in the fields, the rest mostly abstained from voting.

However, today, it seems that there is no talk of voting, but "tasks" are directly assigned from the program... This makes Teacher Ma a little confused for a while.

What makes Teacher Ma even more confused is that no one seems to have other opinions, including Mr. Duan, Mr. Chen and Mr. Xi.

——Of course he didn’t think that what Mr. Shan said was wrong, but he felt that it was really contrary to common sense.

In other words, Mr. Shan’s control over the executive board... is too scary.

"Haha... Mr. Ma was the last to join the executive committee. It's normal to have doubts." At this time, Zhang Xiaolong took over the words with a smile: "When Mr. Shan proposed the direction of technology development, it meant that Yuanxin would devote a large amount of resources to Investment and tilt in this technology direction - in the past ten years, there were companies that initially thought that we were going the wrong way and collapsed, but now... the development of Yuanxin has proven that as long as we choose No matter which way you go, others had better follow it honestly, otherwise you may end up not even drinking the soup."

“So, whether it’s from our standpoint as a member of the telecore system or from the standpoint of the related industries, the best thing to do is to keep up.”

Teacher Ma opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything for a while.

"Okay, old horse, don't think too much. Let's put it all together and see how the holographic simulation works - this is our only option for Internet content."

…

At ten o'clock in the evening, Su Yuanshan returned home.

After the executive board meeting in the afternoon, he went back to Pandora with Xi Xiaoding and others, and chatted with several big guys from the Science and Technology Committee about the current research and development progress in various fields of Yuanxin over dinner. Of course, at the end of the chat, everyone’s The topic inevitably turned to the stars and the sea.

How did you say that? Only children make choices, adults want them all.

Since brain-computer interconnection essentially still serves human beings' daily lives, several people in the Internet field chose that path almost without thinking. And the sea of ​​stars... is naturally the target of the people from the Science and Technology Committee.

Who here has not read a few science fiction novels and yearned for the vast universe?

It's just that the technology and resources required for human beings to get out of the earth and into space are so huge that even a large consortium like Yuanxin can only start with tools from heaven.

"Dad, good night."

Su Xiaomu stuck her head out from the door, blocked her body in pajamas from the door, said good night to her parents and then retracted her head.

"Good night." Su Yuanshan smiled and waved.

Seeing the door closed, Su Yuanshan turned back to his wife with emotion: "My daughter has grown up."

Ye Rudai smiled sweetly: "I will be ten years old this year."

"Hey...will we reach the rebellious stage in two years?"

"Um."

"Do you think our daughter will be rebellious?"

"How would I know?"

"Aren't you a woman? Do you know whether you are rebellious or not?"

"..." Ye Rudai was speechless for a while: "My parents didn't say anything about me back then. Why am I being rebellious?"

Su Yuanshan thought about it for a while, nodded and said: "Indeed, our daughter will definitely not be rebellious...but do you think she will fall in love prematurely?"

"...How do I know?" Ye Rudai was speechless again.

"I don't think she can." Su Yuanshan pursed his lips and frowned slightly: "I have set such a good example for her, and she is determined to be an astrophysicist... She will definitely not be fooled by those Attracted by brats.”

"..." Seeing that her husband was getting more and more outrageous, Ye Rudai grabbed a pillow and gave it to her husband: "Stop talking about useless things, go and see if your son is asleep. The guy didn't sleep last night, so he secretly watched The little book is here."

Su Yuanshan was stunned, and then he laughed: "He is only six years old, hiding under the covers and reading?"

"It is said that his sister taught him."

"...You have to take care of it. We don't all have myopia genes. Don't let a little doctor come out." Su Yuanshan stood up, tiptoed to his son's door, and then opened the door gently.

In the darkness, he did not see any light, but it was obvious that his son did not seem to be asleep.

As an enlightened father, he just smiled, said secretly that he was going to sleep, and then closed the door again.

…

After returning to the bedroom and taking a shower, Ye Rudai was already sitting cross-legged in front of the desk. Her hair was spread out and she was focused on the screen of her laptop, looking at the plan sent from Silicon Valley.

Su Yuanshan's hands naturally stretched into her pajamas from under her neck.

"Don't make trouble, take care of business."

"I'll let you handle it."

"Trade secrets!"

"Pfft...don't forget, I am your major shareholder representative!"

After hearing this, Ye Rudai twisted her buttocks, turned around, and took out Su Yuanshan's hands. She glared at her husband, and soon her expression became serious.

"Do you realize that our relationship will become an excuse to hinder the development of eso in the future?"

"Huh?" Su Yuanshan was startled, but then he understood: "Someone wants to seize power?"

Ye Rudai didn't answer.

But no answer is the best answer.

Su Yuanshan frowned.

After a moment, he snorted heavily: "I will call Qin Si to convene the ESO board of directors tomorrow. I want to see who is so bold."

Ye Rudai: "...What are you yelling about?"

"It's not me who's yelling, but the grandsons on Wall Street. If you don't give them some clues, they will rub their noses in their faces. Damn it, do you think you dare to point fingers at ESO after buying a few stocks? Who will? Their courage?”

"..."

"Let me tell you, if anyone dares to make a fuss, you can directly initiate privatization."

Ye Rudai: "..."

Seeing that her husband seemed to be really angry, Ye Rudai took a deep breath, stood up and hugged her husband's waist.

The two looked at each other, and she suddenly smiled.

"Actually, it's not that serious. I just think that Xiaomu and Ze'an have grown up, and I should spend more time with them - you see, Xiaomu didn't say good night to me just now."

Su Yuanshan: "...Then my son hasn't said good night to me yet."

"Hey...it's not you who travels back and forth between the east and the west every year." Ye Rudai shook her head: "Then talking about the development of eso, I always have a feeling now that the future of eso is not clear, and we have not yet figured out how to deal with it. The key to the challenges of the future mobile Internet. Probably because of this factor, eso’s management is still a bit anxious as a whole.”

Hearing this, Su Yuanshan's fire subsided a little. Looking at his wife's tired face, he even felt a sense of shame.

——Indeed, he never gave any help to eso during his growth stage.

Even...he has been "making enemies" for his wife.

Especially the mobile Internet...almost all fields that are about to explode in the future have been wiped out by several companies under the Yuanxin system.

On the other hand, eso has been launching different applications and businesses in the past decade or so, and both revenue and scale are growing rapidly.

But that is essentially... still growth in the traditional Internet field.

If there is any first-mover advantage in the mobile Internet field, it may only be taxi-hailing applications.

But taking a taxi... not only requires the traditional taxi driver's cheese, but also faces strong resistance, and also relies on money - eso is not aware of this now.

And his wife is obviously greatly influenced by him, and his wife can obviously influence eso's management.

As eso management who started with technology, they are aware of the coming future, but they are hesitant about the direction... so they have anxiety.

After a moment of silence, Su Yuanshan gently patted his wife on the back.

"It's okay. Mobile Internet is essentially a new way of life. If we sum it up carefully, we will find a way."

"But now it seems that the road has been completely exhausted in China."

"You can still compete after leaving." Su Yuanshan looked at his wife with a smile: "Who stipulated that you can't go the way we have gone?"

"Does that mean that the mobile Internet will enter the era of red ocean competition ahead of schedule?"

"But I prefer to understand it as an era of rapid market expansion, or... an era of habit transfer." Su Yuanshan gently hugged his wife and smiled slightly: "You should first integrate eso's business into a client APP."

Ye Rudai was slightly startled: "All business?"

"Well, all businesses will be fully integrated into mobile clients. From now on, we will cultivate users' usage habits on mobile devices - not just mobile phones, but also iPads."

——Although... the beginning of eso is equivalent to Google + Baidu in the previous life. But in terms of development, they have deviated from their respective trajectories.

Even though eso's roots now seem to be in Silicon Valley, it is still his wife's hard work after all. He doesn't want eso to decline because he has missed too much.

At the very least, mobile Internet cannot be missed.

Besides, even if you are acting, you still have to act, right?

That night, Su Yuanshan hugged his wife and chatted for a long time, including Yuanxin's future plans during the day - this was not a business field, and naturally there was no business ethics to be followed.

His wife listened in his arms for a long time and told him about eso's development plan in the fields of quantum computers, artificial intelligence and robotics.

Of course, Ye Rudai finally talked about eso's main development business. She believed that cloud services must be the next hot spot, including cloud computing and cloud storage.

"Also, I think... we should abandon the single Internet thinking and launch a real product that can carry our technology and ideas."

Ye Rudai looked at her husband in the darkness and said softly.

"What product? Mobile phone? Or laptop? Or iPad?"

"neither."

"what is that?"

"car."

In the dark night, Ye Rudai's eyes were extremely bright: "Electric cars."

She was keenly aware that her husband was holding her arm a little harder: "What do you think?"

Su Yuanshan took a deep breath, and after a moment, he rubbed his chin on his wife's hair.

"It's very good, not average. Even...I think you should have made cars a long time ago!"

"Automobiles are the largest industry in the world, and they have been monopolized by traditional car companies before... Whether it is engines or transmissions, these technical barriers are terrible - why is China so supportive of new energy vehicles? It is because there is no such thing in the traditional automobile field. There are ways to play. That’s why we opened up a new track.”

"This track needs people to run it. And the more people, the better - because the market is big enough, beyond imagination."

As Su Yuanshan said, he stretched out his hand to turn on the desk lamp, and saw his wife immediately closed her eyes and then opened them a little.

"Just do it, we can provide technology and share the industrial chain."
