Wednesday, November 8, 1995, the beginning of winter.

Du Qiu didn't go to bed at around 3 a.m., but his biological clock was still accurate and woke up at 6 a.m. He easily opened his arms around Jiang Danfeng's slender waist, turned over and got out of bed. After washing, he did not go to the gym to exercise as usual, but instead came to the living room in his pajamas, turned on his laptop, and checked the work results of last night - the Smart City PPT demonstration document.

Smart cities are a marketing concept developed by ibm in 2010 to promote its own products. Because it has a good name and a large imagination space, anything can be used for Lisai. After it was launched, it was very popular with the government and business community. It swept the world in just a few years, from overseas metropolis such as New York, London, and Tokyo to third- and fourth-tier prefecture-level cities and even county-level cities in China, have burned a lot of money on this concept.

Before Du Qiu traveled, there were more than 600 cities across the country, more than 500 of which were labeled as "smart city pilot", which shows how deeply this concept is. Since the "top-level design" and "overtaking on the curve" that Liu Yunlai had secondary processing were still valued by senior management in 1995, there is no reason why "smart city" is not sought after.

However, although the concept is good, it is not easy to explain it clearly, because it is too advanced. In the eyes of people in 1995 who have not experienced the baptism of the Internet wave, let alone the high-end technical terms such as big data and cloud computing, even the gadget that Ifi, a must-have for every household before traveling through time, is a science fiction product. So it is difficult to make those big people who don’t understand computers and are over 60 years old understand and pay attention to it within 20 minutes.

Fortunately, Du Qiu's purpose is not to sell smart cities, but to just use this concept to promote senior management to draw a circle in Yuncheng and set up an Internet industry pilot zone. The goal is low, and the requirements are naturally relaxed. He simply eliminated all technology-related content and used future Taobao and Alipay as templates. He spent a night perfunctorily creating a very simple but very easy-to-understand low-end version of "smart city" that is easy to understand.

Of course, this "simplicity" is only aimed at Du Qiu himself. For Liu Yunlai and Jiang Danfeng and other natives of time and space, this ppt is very gorgeous, imaginative and attractive. For example, citizens can enjoy shopping, ordering, recharge and other conveniences through the Internet without leaving home. The government can monitor it in real time and solve transportation, taxation, social security and other work through the Internet, which is almost catching up with the scenes in Hollywood science fiction movies.

Du Qiu sat on the sofa in the living room and checked the ppt documents twice. After revising and changing several contents, he looked at the time and found that it was already past 7 o'clock. So he picked up the phone and was about to dial for room service to deliver breakfast, but he heard two soft knocks from the door outside.

When I opened the door, I found that it was Liu Yunlai and Sun Shaojie. They worked as assistants and counselors for Du Qiu last night and tried their best to get a lot of urgently needed information from Yuncheng, Silicon Valley, Xinhua News Agency and the editorial department of Science and Technology Daily. Then they summarized and extracted the charts and data needed to make PPT. They were also busy until after 3 o'clock in the evening and were inconvenient to go home, so they opened a suite in the hotel to rest.

"Brother Liu, Sister Sun, I got up so early, why don't I sleep more often?"

"I want to sleep, but unfortunately I can't sleep!" Liu Yunlai's face turned black and rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Even though he was so sleepy, he was very excited, and he had all kinds of thoughts in his head, just like setting off firecrackers, crackling."

"He is setting off firecrackers, I am setting off fireworks. Even though I closed my eyes, I still saw various PPT patterns swaying in front of me, turning around like a lantern." Sun Shaojie's face was fine, but her eyes were a little red. She said with a smile: "We both stayed in the bed until dawn, thought of something new, and felt that you were almost up, so she came over."

"That happens. I just made some modifications to the PPT. Please help me see." Du Qiu pointed to the laptop on the table and said, "I'll call and call breakfast, let's have a chat."

The 20-minute lecture time was too short, so the ppt was very compact, with only 13 pages. After Du Qiu finished calling, Liu Yunlai had already read the content he had revised and complimented: "Mr. Du, you have modified these places very well, more convincing than what you wrote last night."

"I just had obsessive-compulsive disorder attacks and did some minor repairs on the details, which was meaningless." Du Qiu asked while making tea in a glass cup: "Brother Liu, Sister Sun, what are you thinking about?"

Liu Yunlai and Sun Shaojie looked at each other, and then said carefully: "Mr. Du, I think from ancient times to the present, if you want to do big things, you can do nothing more than the four words of coercion and temptation. The ppt we did last night was all about the Internet's promotion of economic and social development. It can be said to be temptation, but relying on temptation alone is not enough. We have to add some coercion to attract greater attention."

Sun Shaojie probably thought that Liu Yun was too explicit, so he explained in a tactful way: "How can you achieve the two laws in the world to live up to the Tathagata and never let down the You. Everything has two sides, and the Internet is no exception. There must be good and bad. If you only talk about good things and don't talk about bad things, the leaders above may think that you are too young, eager for quick success and instant benefits, and not consider the problems thoroughly, so that you ignore or do not pay attention to your proposal."

"It makes sense!" Du Qiu was shocked when he heard this. He put two cups of brewed strong tea on the coffee table, pondered for a while and tentatively said: "How about Internet fraud?"

"Although fraud is abominable, it has always existed or not, and it is not a threat to the country."

"Internet smuggling and Internet gambling-Bo?"

"Not counting."

"Where are Internet spies?"

"This is considered a threat, but it is not very threatening and cannot reach the eyes of those big shots."

Du Qiu sighed in his heart, no longer circled around, and said bluntly: "Then let's add some content to practice new technologies and new systems in the experimental zone to prevent foreign hostile forces from using the Internet for peaceful evolution."

Liu Yunlai held the teacup with his left hand, raised his thumb with his right hand, and praised: "Mr. Du is brilliant!"

Very clever!

Once this content is added, it will definitely create a firewall that is highly despised by netizens in the future...

Unexpectedly, in less than a year, the young man who once vowed to kill the dragon had turned into an evil dragon without realizing it...

As a time travel party, Du Qiu knew that the so-called peaceful evolution would become a joke in more than ten years, but the Chinese people in 1995 did not think so. It was only four or five years before the collapse of the Soviet Union. The once extremely powerful big brother fell apart in an environment without foreign invasion, which made many Chinese people feel scared and afraid of repeating the same mistakes. Therefore, they strictly guarded the peaceful evolution and used it as a guise, which could be paid more attention to than a "smart city".

Before traveling through time, Du Qiu hated the network firewall. After traveling through time, he fantasized about eliminating it in his infancy. However, after nearly a year of observation, he found that under the extremely complex and dangerous international situation in the mid-to-late 1990s, the emergence of the firewall can be said to be a historical necessity and no one can change it.

Since it cannot be changed, it is better to use it...

Instead of waiting for someone to be castrated, it is better to be an executioner and castrate others...

Du Qiu was an ordinary netizen before, and the firewall was powerful to him, but now he is a billionaire and can overturn the wall at any time. The firewall has no effect on him. His identity has changed, his butt has become crooked, and his position has naturally reversed. He quickly abandoned his integrity. With the guidance and advice of two senior media people, Liu Yunlai and Sun Shaojie, combined with the examples of social network public opinion wars that appeared in the Middle East and other places more than 10 years later, his thoughts are like springs and his fingers are like flying. In less than 30 minutes, he added 5 pages of "coercion" content to the 13-page "inducement" ppt document.

Most of the contents of the last 5 pages are text. After Sun Shaojie helped check it, she backed up and said: "Du Qiu, there are a lot of these contents, and I'm afraid I can't finish them in 20 minutes."

"It's okay, as long as Mr. Du can talk about the last 5 pages within 20 minutes..." Liu Yunlai took a bite of the meat bun and said vaguely: "The leaders will be comfortable with him for a few more minutes."

Du Qiu laughed, ate the pancakes in his hand in big mouthfuls, then stood up from the sofa, stretched, and said, "It's already 7:40, the person who picked me up should be coming soon, I have to change my clothes."

"Go quickly, I'll help you clean up the computer."

Du Qiu was very light when she returned to the bedroom, but Jiang Danfeng was still awakened. She was familiar with Snapdragon's business. The recent multinational online purchasing agent is a very typical example of e-commerce application. So after returning to the hotel after attending the class reunion last night, she was temporarily arrested as a PPT assistant and was also busy until after 3 o'clock in the evening to go to bed.

"I brought the suit you customized in Osaka in September and hung it in the closet."

"No, I don't wear a suit today." Du Qiu took out a red and blue plaid flannel shirt from the closet and asked, "Did my sister bring the vest that I knitted for me last year?"

"Bring it, in that white box." Jiang Danfeng sat up in the quilt and said, "Wouldn't it be too casual when you wear a casual shirt to give a lecture?"

"I'm not casual, it's intentional." Du Qiu bent down and raised the box, explaining: "The suit is the same and has no characteristics. Moreover, I'm too young and look restrained. It's better to wear it like a school student, so that those big guys can impress me and my age."

“Are these PR tips Jennifer teaches you?”

"I'm extremely talented, so I have to ask her to teach her skills? I can learn it without a teacher."

"Hate!"

Jiang Danfeng threw out the pillow and smashed it at Du Qiu, then jumped out of the bed, took out a few coats and pants bought from Japan from the closet to try it on. These clothes seemed ordinary, but in fact they were expensive, with exquisite fabrics and exquisite cuts. Even if they were randomly matched, they were very stylish and they were quickly cleaned up.

"So handsome! After you return to Yuncheng, I will make another profit."

“What to earn?”

"The middle and senior employees of Snapdragon have always imitated Yang Fan's clothes and asked me to buy a lot of brand-name suits and shoes from Japan. Now you are wearing more handsome than Yang Fan. They will definitely imitate you, ask me to buy casual clothes from Japan."

"Yeah?"

At this time, the cell phone on the bedside table rang. Du Qiu picked it up and answered it, and returned to the living room and said to Liu Yun: "Secretary Li of the General Office has arrived at the door of the hotel and will come up later."

"I just printed a copy of the document and put it in it." Liu Yunlai handed him the backpack containing the laptop and said, "Mr. Du, I wish the lecture a complete success."

Seeing that his expression was serious, as solemn as the soldiers who sent his comrades to the front line in a war film, Du Qiu felt a little moved and was about to say a few words in the scene, but unexpectedly, his phone rang. He thought it was Secretary Li called, but after answering, he found that it was Zhou Yuan.

"Mr. Du, I'm going to leave for CCTV now. I'll confirm the bid amount with you, 66.99 million, right?"

“Yeah, 6699.”
