Rewrite the Technological Landscape

That night, Meng Qian had dinner with Samuel, Idei and Atsutoshi Nishida. The four complimented each other and the atmosphere was harmonious.

During the meeting, everyone tentatively put forward some needs of their own. Among them, Samuel asked Meng Qian a question, "Mr. Meng, does Dafeng Group cooperate with Lenovo?"

Meng Qian half-lowered his head to hide his emotions, and hesitated for a few seconds, "To tell the truth, Mr. Samuel, our Dafeng Group and Lenovo are competitors."

Samuel looked puzzled, "Isn't Lenovo a computer company? How could it compete with Dafeng Group?"

Meng Qian concealed his emotions with a smile, "It won't be long before Mr. Samuel will see our Dafeng Group's computer."

Meng Qian stared at Samuel's expression, wishing he could get into the other's head now, but unfortunately he couldn't read much from the other's face, so he had to ask, "What does Mr. Samuel have for Lenovo?" Are you interested? Is there any Dafeng Group that can help?"

Samuel seemed to hesitate before asking, "What does Mr. Meng think of your future opponent?"

"Lenovo is currently the largest computer brand in China, but in the global market, I believe that our Dafeng Group will perform better than Lenovo." Meng Qian said after weighing.

"Oh? The entry time of Dafeng Group is actually a bit late. After so many years of Lenovo, why is Mr. Meng so confident?"

"Because Lenovo has accumulated in China's domestic market for so many years, Lenovo's performance in the international market is not very good.

Although it has not been a long time, I think the precipitation of Dafeng Group in the international market in the past few years may be deeper than that of Lenovo. For example, how to make corresponding product strategies and product layouts for different countries, I think we are better than Lenovo. More advantages, I believe we also have advantages in terms of the international brand power of the company.

At the same time, although Lenovo has accumulated for many years, more of it has been deposited in the market. Although Dafeng Group started slowly, I believe that our talent accumulation and technology accumulation will soon bring us breakthroughs in products. "It is not necessary to suppress the opponent in such a straightforward manner. At the end of 2004, Lenovo will buy the ThinkPad.

Without ThinkPad, it is impossible for Lenovo to go so smoothly in the international market and high-end market, and it must be interfered.

Samuel didn't mean to go any further, but just teased in a joking tone, "So we will compete with Dafeng Group in another field in the future."

It seems that Samuel has not revealed to Meng Qian that IBM wants to give up the computer department, and Meng Qian is not easy to ask, "IBM is a leader in the industry, and Dafeng Group still has a lot to learn. Compared with the competition , I prefer to talk about cooperation."

"Mr. Meng, please tell me."

"I don't know what is the evaluation of our Dafeng Group's database within IBM?"

"Stunning." Samuel said succinctly.

Meng Qian took advantage of the situation, "Our Dafeng Group's database has gone through the test of the market and time, and is ready to go to the next level, but with the improvement of our global influence, we want to seek more hardware cooperation that can make us feel more at ease. suppliers, especially looking for a hardware partner with international absolute status."

"I heard that Gale Group will release a new version of the database in a while?" Samuel asked back.

"Yes, we always have to respond to Oracle's press conference some time ago."

"Mr. Meng will leave us two tickets then."

"I've already prepared it for IBM." Meng Qian was overjoyed and asked, "Does Mr. Samuel think that Oracle will successfully acquire PeopleSoft?"

"If Oracle can't take care of itself, it's impossible."

Meng Qian understood, and the topic ended here.

The next day, Samuel called Nelson from IBM's Computer Division into his office, "How is Lenovo going?"

"The initiative is in our hands. Lenovo is very eager for our brand to help it open up the international market. We still have a lot of room to negotiate with him on the price, but they hope that we can use the name IBM for them for a while. Time, at least three to five years.

In addition, Lenovo is also interested in our server technology, but in exchange, in addition to money, Lenovo will also help us open up a larger hardware market in China. "

Samuel nodded to express understanding, "Slow down the pace of negotiations with Lenovo."

"What's wrong?" Nelson was a little puzzled.

"In the next period of time, you should pay close attention to the computer that Dafeng Group will launch soon, and study their investment and strategy in the computer industry.

If Lenovo can meet a threatening local competitor in China, it will be more beneficial to us in the future negotiation process, and maybe Dafeng Group will be a better partner than Lenovo. "

Meng Qian went to W3C the next day during the day to express condolences to the employees of Dafeng Group in W3C. Not long ago, something happened, that is, W3C conducted a vote on whether to continue to promote html5 , because of the joining of Dafeng Group, everyone realized the most important thing, that is, xml and html are not the same thing at all in essence.

Trying to replace html with xml is a completely wrong idea. With the technical explanation of Gale Group, the final voting result is naturally in support. The more important news for Gale Group is that under the proposal of Opera and IBM, everyone passed another A round of voting elected Gale Group as the leader of the html working group.

Gale Group's status in W3C has been substantially improved.

That night, Meng Qian attended an event organized by a local Chinese organization that provides assistance to Huaxia college students. The purpose of this event was to let Meng Qian come to chat with Huaxia students in the United States.

However, in fact, nearly half of the people who actually attended were no longer students, but some Chinese people who had already worked in the United States. However, the people who came to this event all had one thing in common, that is, a high degree of education.

Since ancient times, people with great achievements will have their own aura of attraction. Meng Qian's current influence has already reached the point of attracting talents.

Coupled with Meng Qian's personal charm shown in various public occasions and his appearance that becomes more and more pleasing to the eye after having the money buff, Meng Qian has attracted more attention.

The event was held in a theater, and Meng Qian received warm applause and cheers as soon as he entered the venue.

After the host's official speech, it was finally Meng Qian's turn to speak.

"Is everyone still used to living in the United States?"

"I'm not used to it!" A few young people who looked at the university shouted.

Meng Qian smiled and strolled on the stage, "To be honest, when I learned that there was such an event targeting our talents in Mi Huaxia, my first reaction was to take this great opportunity to brag about our Dafeng Group. Then only one person can be fooled.

You are more attractive to me than the beauties of the world beauty pageants. But not long ago, I was confused by a communication I had with a Chinese American scientist who had returned to China. I suddenly thought, maybe I can take this opportunity to have a discussion with you today.

That scientist is a high-end talent who studies the positioning system. He was also a top talent in this field in the United States before, but what makes people sigh is that he is now suffering from severe depression, and all this is because of one of his problems. Does science have no borders? "

There was a whisper of discussion at the scene, and Meng Qian continued, "He told me that he only had one idea when he stayed in the United States, to make achievements in this field, but last year he suddenly knew something, his technology was used in In war, and his technology provides a powerful boost to the war.

When he looked at the video sent back from the front, he suddenly thought of a question, if one day, a missile using his technology fell on the land of Huaxia, how should he look at himself? How should he face himself? Can I tell myself calmly that I am just a technical person, and it is not my fault.

I comforted him at the time, just because the technology you studied happened to be related to weapons, at least your original intention was pure, and you should not be blamed for this.

He told me that he comforted himself in this way at the beginning, but the more he comforted himself, the more he fell into pain, because he was caught in the contradiction between the individual and the country. He told me that for so many years Western thoughts have been impacting A bond between oneself and the country.

Western thinking told him that people live for themselves, and we should not be kidnapped by anything, whether it is etiquette, morality, or family and country feelings. These things should not be a reason to kidnap a person. live.

For decades he thought the idea was great.

But when he was struggling, he suddenly discovered a problem. Since what the United States advocates is individual freedom and an individual spirit that is not bound by the country, why did they trap Qian when he returned to China?

Since science knows no borders, and since scientists are free, why do so many Chinese scientists just want to go back to China?

At that time, I answered an answer that I thought was very advanced, saying that science has no borders, but scientists have borders.

However, he asked me, without scientists, how can there be science?

I suddenly didn't know how to answer him, because I didn't have an answer, and just like he was struggling because he didn't have an answer, I didn't know what the answer to this question was.

But I think this is a meaningful question to discuss, whether it is a scientist or a science.

Are there any borders? "

Meng Qian did not give a definite answer at the scene, because Meng Qian just hoped that everyone could think about this kind of question. It is meaningful to give your own answer after you think independently and feel independently.

So there is no need to reverse brainwashing, just let everyone think more, and let these overseas talents find their own answers.
