Capítulo 729: Chapter 234: Soone Else’s Sky Is About to Fall
What kind of ill intentions can young people have?
Think about it, the ordinary working people of the new city in the Western District can spend just a few dozen bucks to get an expert consultation, without worrying about not being able to afford ambulance fees;
Only need to allocate twenty percent of their inco to et monthly living needs, no need for a private car, and can still enjoy a convenient and efficient public transportation system;
Convenient and efficient two-wheel electric vehicles can shuttle through streets and alleys, using cashless paynt systems to eliminate petty thefts;
Basic living prices will be guaranteed, pushing the lunch loans into the dustbin of history, replaced by the nutrition improvent plan for compulsory education students;
More free public toilets, banning urinating and defecating in the subway… Ordinary people should prefer this vibrant and renewed new city.
As for those capitalists… that has nothing to do with him. The only relationship Qiao Yu wants with these bigshots is to share wealth and equalize property.
From the Huaxia people’s perspective, any grand narrative is inseparable from the everyday life of ordinary people.
Or rather, the daily life of ordinary people is the real deconstruction of all grand narratives.
So, where will integration happen, the most important thing is the collective consciousness projection of ordinary people. In other words, the ultimate integration is the unconfident being assimilated by the confident.
Clearly, the other side is now less confident.
Otherwise, they wouldn’t be so eager to co to him.
So although Qiao Yu said a bunch of things he didn’t really believe, he felt no psychological burden.
Could he divert the money he got from high-tech companies like Google, Microsoft, IBM, et cetera, to the ordinary people of Arica?
The answer is obviously no.
This large sum eventually ends up in the hands of those capitalists, turning into a pile of cold, hard numbers in bank accounts.
So he might as well take it himself, maybe he can even reduce resistance to future cultural confidence integration. From this standpoint, Qiao Yu feels he is doing good deeds.
To ensure the vast majority of people in the world quickly have a good life, he doesn’t mind being misunderstood, even bearing so scorn, Qiao Yu believes he can accept it.
Qiao Yu was even touched by himself, feeling that he has made such a huge sacrifice, if he doesn’t bring so personal agenda, it would make him seem too morally noble.
After all, he doesn’t want to be a saint.
What’s most important is that people in tech are generally straightforward. But Qiao Yu thinks when John Martinis reports to the managent, making them feel the conditions are too simple might make them uncomfortable.
After all, Qiao Yu feels he doesn’t give the impression of being particularly easy to deal with.
Thus, as John Martinis decides to temporarily end this historic call, Qiao Yu adds one small condition.
“John, I almost forgot to tell you, I have a small request.”
After speaking, without giving John Martinis a chance to react, Qiao Yu continues, “You might not know, I have so unpleasantness with the University of California, Berkeley. So if Google really wants to cooperate happily with …
Well, it’s best to publicly cancel or suspend the current and potential future series of collaborations before we formally agree to cooperate.”
“These are trivial issues…”
With a mind full of how to report the negotiation results with Qiao Yu to the leadership and how to persuade Google’s top managent to agree to Qiao Yu’s request, John Martinis replies casually before realizing it might not be a trivial issue.
After all, Google’s cooperation with Berkeley involves quite a few areas, including artificial intelligence, robotics research, etc.
Mainly it’s Google funding Berkeley’s professors and research teams for work. Berkeley, after all, is well-known in the computer field.
Theoretically, for Google, it isn’t a big issue. There are quite a lot of great universities in the United States.
Harvard, Columbia, Yale, Massachusetts, Stanford…
As long as you’re the benefactor, you can collaborate with anyone. Even if Berkeley has outstanding talents, with Google’s influence, a little hint would lead those professors to choose to jump ship naturally.
Professors who can bring projects are welcod by any university worldwide.
The single issue would be, without any reason, Google suddenly announces such a ssage, how would the people at Berkeley react?
Moreover, John Martinis really can’t understand how Berkeley would have offended Qiao Yu. He hasn’t heard of such a big academic gossip.
“Um… so, although this indeed isn’t a big issue, we need a reason. After all, the company believes in the spirit of contracts, we can’t say we’re terminating cooperation without reason, and imdiately suspend or cancel all previous collaborations.”
John Martinis says awkwardly.
Qiao Yu just responds with a smile, “No problem, Professor John. Anyway, you have to report my ideas to the higher-ups. You just need to present my condition along with the previous conditions.
As for whether to accept, that’s for the higher-ups to consider, it has nothing to do with you. We Huaxia people call cooperation destiny, if the higher-ups can’t agree to my condition, it just ans our fate hasn’t arrived.”
A very tactful way of putting it.
But John Martinis already understood, this condition is not just sothing extra, but a necessary condition for both sides to reach an agreent.
