It was around five o'clock when it was rush hour in Beijing, and the road conditions were congested. It took Liu Yunlai more than an hour to arrive at the hotel. As soon as he entered the door, he asked anxiously: "Mr. Du, what did the notice say?"

Du Qiu was quite calm, pointed to the dinner delivered by the hotel waiter on the dining table in the living room and greeted, "Eat first, and let's talk about it after you finish."

Liu Yunlai was in high spirits, excited and anxious. He threw his briefcase on the sofa, sat down at the dining table, and didn't even pick up the chopsticks. He asked, "How to arrange it tomorrow?"

"At 8:30 tomorrow morning, people will send me to the hotel to pick me up." Du Qiu had an afternoon meeting and was already hungry. He said while eating: "The content of the lecture is related to the Internet, but there is no topic. I have 20 minutes to talk about anything I want to say."

"Ah? No theme?"

"When I received the notice in the afternoon, it was similar to your current reaction." Du Qiu was amused by his astonished expression and said, "The Internet is too broad, involving all aspects of interests and the development of all walks of life. It is like air, but there is no trace. So when the conference call is held later, you and Yang Fan will help me with a key point, so I can explain it around this key point."

"I always thought that the above would ask you to talk about the application of the Internet in business and economy, but I didn't expect that it would allow you to play freely. That really requires a point." Liu Yunlai didn't have the time to eat, touched his chin with his hand, and then asked for a while: "Who else will talk about it tomorrow?"

"I have inquired with Secretary Li of the General Office. There will be four people going to talk tomorrow. In addition to me, there are Professor Li from the Institute of Computing of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Professor Deng from the Beijing School of Posts and Telecommunications, and Wei Zhiming, a senior reporter from Xinhua News Agency in the United States."

"Wei Zhiming? I know this person. He specializes in reporting on science and technology news. He was transferred from the United States last month and now works in the Ministry of Radio and Television." Liu Yunlai's eyes lit up and his tone was quite affirmative: "The Institute of Computing of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Ministry of Electronic Industry is closely related to the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications. The School of Posts and Telecommunications is a directly affiliated university of the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications. In addition, Wei Zhiming and Mr. Du of the Ministry of Radio and Telecommunications, I think tomorrow's lecture should be related to the integration of the three networks! It's better to start from this aspect."

Three network integration?

The United States' "Telecommunications Act of 1996" has not been promulgated. Unless there is a time-travel party on it, you would never have thought of the three-network integration in China in 1995...

Du Qiu saw Liu Yun as if he was holding a wise bead. Fo Zhuge Liang saw through Sima Yi's plan and asked with interest: "How did you think of the fusion of the three networks?"

"Actually, I had this kind of premonition when you were invited by the Ministry of Electronics Industry to have a meeting in the afternoon." Liu Yunlai picked up his briefcase from the sofa, took out a publication with the words "Insider" printed on the cover, and said: "In October, based on some of Mr. Du's remarks and what I saw and learned from Snapdragon some time ago, I wrote a manuscript and posted it to the internal reference. The leaders above attached great importance to it and made special instructions... Now, this is this."

Du Qiu put down his chopsticks and took them to see that he almost sprayed the rice in his mouth, because the title of that article is very distinctive of the era of mainstream media, but not the characteristics of 1995, but the characteristics of 2015 - "Top-level design, overtaking on the curve, fusion of three networks, benefiting the country and the people".

I'm stunned!

Isn’t this a concept that I got from my boring fashion talk in the company?

Du Qiu picked up the water cup on the dining table, drank two sips of water before suppressing the absurd and surprised feeling in his heart, and said, "Brother Liu, these are all nonsense things that I have written as internal reference?"

"I see, when you are doing Snapdragon's research and development, you will first go up and down, design various functions and modules, and then let Qin Mu and others implement them step by step, with high efficiency and few bugs. They catch up and even surpass advanced foreign products in a very short time." Liu Yunlai didn't think it was nonsense, and said seriously: "Your practices are similar to the country's various policies. I think they are very valuable for reference, so I wrote this article. Before I published it, I specially sent you an email, and you said there is no problem."

Du Qiu did receive an email from Liu Yunlai in Silicon Valley, but the article in the attachment was not the title. After reading it at the beginning, he found that it was a political commentary content and had nothing to do with the company's business, so he did not continue reading it. He directly gave a reply with agreement, but unexpectedly had such a big impact.

The concepts of top-level design and overtaking on the curve are very consistent with China's traditional thinking of planned economy and the urgent desire to catch up with Western developed countries. Therefore, it is difficult for this internal reference to be ignored. After Du Qiu read the ten lines at a glance, he found that there were still handwritten instructions from several heavyweight leaders printed behind him. He didn't know what to say, so he could only sigh: "Brother Liu, if you really don't make a sound, you've made a big news!"

"This article should actually belong to Mr. Du, and I am just a ghostwriter."

"Brother Liu is humble. I'm nonsense and talking nonsense. You write rigorously and thoroughly, and it can be said to turn decay into magic. How can you do the same?" Du Qiu put the publication on the dining table and said with a smile: "I thought the top asked me to give a lecture because Snapdragon successfully raised funds in the United States. Now it seems that it is actually because of your article?"

Liu Yunlai usually does not show his emotions, but he can't hide his complacent look at this time. He laughed and said, "Maybe."

Du Qiu was unwilling to go into politics and did not take the various political concepts that were popular before traveling through time. He picked up his chopsticks and continued to eat. He said: "Although the integration of the three networks is good, it involves too many interest groups and cannot be realized in a short period of time. I cannot focus this tomorrow."

"That's not necessarily. The superiors attach great importance to this." Liu Yunlai still insisted on his opinion and said in a low voice: "Mr. Du, do you know why Minister Hu of the Ministry of Electronics Industry invited you to have a meeting as soon as you returned to China? Because in order to promote the integration of the three networks, the superiors are preparing to merge the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications and the Ministry of Electronics Industry."

"What does the merger of these two departments have to do with me?"

"The merger of the two major departments requires approval from the National People's Congress. The next National People's Congress will not be held until 1998." Liu Yunlai knew the domestic system very well and explained: "After the merger of the two departments, one person can only be left as the minister. Now the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications is strong, while the Ministry of Electronics Industry is weak. If Minister Hu cannot make a difference in the next two years, he will definitely retire and give up the virtuous. If you ask you to have a meeting, you must be gambled to see if you can use the top-level design method to create some political achievements of overtaking on the curve."

I see……

As a time travel party, Du Qiu not only knew that the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications and the Ministry of Electronics Industry would merge to form the Ministry of Information Industry in 1998, but also knew that the Minister Wu of the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications would serve as the leader of the new department. He did not intend to mix such things, nor was he interested in mixing them. He asked: "After the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications and the Ministry of Electronics Industry merged, do you think the above will merge the Ministry of Radio and Telecommunications and Telecommunications?"

Liu Yunlai was stunned for a moment, and then immediately shook his head and said, "The Ministry of Radio, Film and Television belongs to the publicity system, the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications and the Ministry of Electronics Industry belongs to the industrial system, and it is impossible to merge together."

"The integration of the three networks requires both technical support and political support. Technology is easy to solve, but politically difficult to solve. The Ministry of Radio and Television is very weak in technology, but it is very strong in politics. In order to safeguard its own interests, it will definitely oppose the integration of the three networks, so we should not waste time on it."

This is a fact...

The integration of three networks refers to the integration of telephone networks, the Internet and the TV networks. These three networks are spread through fiber optic fibers. If they can be interconnected and shared resources, they can not only save a lot of costs, but also improve the productivity of the entire society. After the promulgation of the "Telecommunications Act of 1996", countries around the world followed suit and worked hard to advance. China did not start slowly, almost in line with the United States. They demonstrated and formulated relevant policies in 1996. However, due to the obstruction and non-cooperation of the radio and television departments, they failed to truly complete the integration after more than 20 years.

Liu Yunlai was a reporter. He knew that Du Qiu was right, so he was silent for it. He picked up the chopsticks and ate a few bites of the dishes, and then asked, "Do you have no idea?"

"I have ideas, but unfortunately there are too many things, and I don't know which one is better." Du Qiu sighed with a wry smile, scooped up half a bowl of mushroom soup, and asked while drinking: "Brother Liu, have you heard of the National Outstanding Youth Science Foundation?"

"No, what is that?"

"On the eve of the Spring Festival last year, several experts from the science and technology industry were invited to hold a symposium, among which Chen Zhangliang, vice president of Peking University, also participated and gave him 5 minutes of speech." Du Qiu stretched out five fingers and said: "In these 5 minutes, Chen Zhangliang suggested that the country establish a fund to promote the growth of young scientific and technological talents, encourage overseas scholars to return to China to work, and accelerate the cultivation and creation of a group of outstanding academic leaders who have entered the forefront of world science and technology."

"Then the above listened to his suggestion and established the fund you mentioned?"

"Well. This fund will definitely have a very positive impact on scientific research, education and academics in the future." Du Qiu looked at Liu Yunlai and said solemnly: "Brother Liu, I will give me 20 minutes tomorrow, which is four times that of Chen Zhangliang. I hope it can also promote a policy that has a positive impact on China's scientific and technological development."

The establishment of the National Outstanding Youth Science Foundation is one of the most influential policies of the domestic scientific research system after the reform and opening up, and has achieved very good results. The scholars sponsored by this fund are abbreviated as Jieqing. They are of great value and are ranked alongside the Thousand Talents Plan and the Yangtze River Scholars. They are second only to academicians in the domestic academic community. Each one is a top talent in a certain discipline in China, and the age limit is no more than 45 years old. There is still a lot of room for development in the future. Therefore, they are highly valued in universities and are a valuable resource at the strategic level.

Du Qiu is lazy and has a weak desire for power, but due to his grandfather, he has always been poor and is safe for the country and country. Therefore, he has high requirements for tomorrow's lectures. He hopes to give full play to the advantages of time travelers being foresighted without revealing his trump card, and promote a policy that benefits the country and the people, so that China will avoid detours in the future, and develop faster and better.

Liu Yunlai also has a strong sense of family and country. Otherwise, he would not have mentioned the integration of three networks just now, because the integration of three networks has nothing to do with Snapdragon's business, but if the leadership can really be promoted to pay attention and implement it, it will be of great benefit to the country.

The Internet has extraordinary application prospects in many important fields such as commerce, finance, scientific research, national defense, and education, and can greatly enhance the country's comprehensive strength. Two guys with higher ambitions gather together, and they can't figure out where to start from in a while, so that they can promote or influence the formulation of an important policy within 20 minutes. It was not until after dinner that he had a conference call with Yang Fan, who was far away in Yuncheng that Du Qiu got inspired from him and came up with a satisfactory idea.

Yang Fan is a pragmatic person, with no sense of family and country at all, and only considers his own interests. From the perspective of Snapdragon, he said: "The company is not short of money or technology now. What it lacks is that there are too many restrictions on talents and environment. In terms of talents, archives, household registration, academic records, etc., it is very troublesome to poach high-end talents; in terms of environment, Yuncheng's infrastructure, government efficiency, official quality and management ideas are all too different from coastal cities..."

After complaining, he suggested: "Mr. Du, the Internet is a brand new industry, with a very fast development speed, and the domestic system is rigid. Many policies and regulations have either fallen behind or are blank, causing local governments to look forward to the front and back, which seriously restricts the development of the company. If possible, I hope you will recommend tomorrow that the above will follow Shekou in the early days of reform and opening up and set up an Internet high-tech pilot zone in Yuncheng."

yes!

As the saying goes, it is better to see than to hear, and it is better to do it than to see. A 20-minute lecture is far from enough to explain the future of the Internet. Why not set up a experimental zone and use Snapdragon as a test product to let decision makers witness and experience it with their own eyes. Wouldn’t it be better?

And this suggestion fits Du Qiu's ideal of building his hometown into China's Silicon Valley. He instantly got an idea and said to the phone: "Yang Fan, your idea is very good. I have a very good idea. Now I want to write a lecture outline, so I will hang up first."

"Okay, I wish Mr. Du all the best."

After Yang Fan hung up the phone, Liu Yunlai asked, "Mr. Du, what is your idea?"
Chapter completed!
