Reborn Xiangjiang Tycoon Growth

Although Watson is from the second generation of rich people, his abilities are not weak. He also experienced various experiences when he was young. If the U.S. Department of Commerce had not conducted an antitrust investigation of IBM for more than ten years, IBM would have achieved more than that.

Bao Zixuan must have asked IBM for such generous terms, otherwise with how shrewd this guy is, how could he give up so many benefits?

Little Watson said with a smile: "We are all businessmen. We should not talk secretly. It is better to put things on the table."

In fact, the richest man Bao is also very anxious. President Reagan will definitely call everyone for a meeting. There is really not much time left for him. The little Watson test is still one that must be passed, otherwise the auxiliary root server may really miss Hong Kong.

.

Bao Zixuan: "The upgrade of ARPANET requires a main root server and several auxiliary root servers. Xiangjiang Yulin Institute of Technology wants to get a auxiliary root server. I would like to ask Mr. Watson for convenience in this regard. As long as the matter is completed, I will

I can’t thank you enough.”

It turned out that he wanted to get an auxiliary root server. No wonder he was so polite when he saw him. Bao Zixuan was an absolute authority in the computer field. He was so optimistic about the ARPAnet upgrade; he was even willing to pay such a high price to get a auxiliary root server. Look.

IBM needs to pay more attention to ARPANET, at least not show the kind of attitude that it has nothing to do with itself.

Little Watson smiled and said: "I think IBM will not stand in the way of whatever it is. You can rest assured on this. As for other companies, Mr. Xiaobao needs to coordinate it himself."

I just said that I won't obstruct it, and I didn't promise anything else. IBM will not suffer any loss, no matter how you look at it.

After Watson Jr. and Mr. Bao reached an agreement, President Reagan began to convene meetings with scholars and entrepreneurs who came to the White House.

In order to show the importance and respect for technical talents, this White House meeting was actually chaired by Joe Douglas. After all, this is not the Association for Computing Machinery; having the president of the Association for Computing Machinery chair the meeting in the White House is a bit overstepping.

On the surface, the ARPANET upgrade was an internal matter within the computer industry, but at the same time, Reagan took the initiative. In order to show that the country attached great importance to this matter, he just invited all experts, scholars and business representatives to the White House. This may also be a point.

For cake meetings, it depends on how much each person can get.

The Soviet Union's influence is growing. If Reagan wants to increase the influence of the United States, he must come up with something different. The ARPAnet upgrade is a good gimmick. According to estimates by experts and think tanks, the United States can lead through computer networks.

The whole world, let other countries see how great America is.

Heiyun Group and Bao Zixuan were not originally on the invitation list, but they wanted to lay out computer networks all over the world. Without the participation of Heiyun Group, it would not be possible, at least not at this time.

Americans have no shortage of large-scale industrial computers, and IBM can solve all problems. However, the technology patents for optical fiber transmission and multi-protocol routing are all in the hands of Heiyun Group. How can a network be formed without linking these computers?

After receiving President Reagan's signal, Joe Douglas stood up and said: "I invite you here this time just to hear your opinions. Your Excellency the President hopes that ARPANET can be upgraded to cover more countries and regions. Let the world's connections change.

The ultimate goal is to connect the entire world together through computer networks."

"I was a little worried before, but fortunately after the efforts of everyone here, there are no technical problems anymore. The development of the computer field is really beyond everyone's imagination."

"The upgraded ARPANET is named 'Internet' and consists of a main root server and 9 auxiliary root servers. Whether to increase the number in the future depends on the computing speed and user volume."

"The main root server must be placed in the United States. As for the 9 auxiliary root servers, it is planned to place 1 in Asia and 2 in Europe, of which the United Kingdom should have a quota; the other 6 auxiliary root servers are temporarily placed in the United States to suit the situation of each country.

Decide whether to migrate."

No one would have any objection to putting a server in the UK. After all, everyone knows the relationship between the United States and the UK. Now the main focus is to fight for another quota in Asia and Europe.

Seeing everyone listening, Joe Douglas continued: "The Asian assistant quota is planned to be placed in Japan. Do you have any opinions or different opinions on this?"

This clearly set the tone and let everyone understand what the White House and the Computer Society meant. Bao Zixuan's little actions below could not escape Reagan's eyes. This is the White House after all; it is normal for his words and deeds to be monitored.

It is obvious that the Asian auxiliary root server quota will be handed over to Japan, but most people still show different expressions. Black Cloud will definitely occupy an important position in the upgrade process of ARPANET. Now it is a bit too much to not play with others.

.

Others can tolerate it. As Bao Zixuan's mentor, Harry Rowland will definitely not watch his students being bullied and remain indifferent.

Harry Rowland: "Your Excellency, President, and professors, the original intention of upgrading ARPANET to the Internet is to closely link the world together. But where the link equipment needs to come from, currently only Heiyun Group can produce it."

"And what the Internet will look like is still unknown. It needs to be constantly verified and invested in on a large scale. Xiangjiang Yulin Institute of Technology has already established an on-campus network, which can be said to have started earlier than any other university."

"We have rich experience in computer networks. If such an important school is excluded, it will be very detrimental to the early development of the Internet. After all, everything is still in the exploratory stage at this time."

"The Asian auxiliary root server should be placed in Xiangjiang Yulin Institute of Technology, which will greatly promote the development of the Internet. At the same time, multi-protocol routers and optical fiber transmission can also be better applied, which will benefit the development of the Internet without any harm."

Bao Zixuan was very moved when he heard this. At the critical moment, the teacher stood up for him. Although Harry Rowland was only the dean of the Department of Computer Science at MIT, he represented authority. In addition, it was better to have someone help him to stand up than to go into battle naked.

.

Not playing with Bao Zixuan is unjustifiable. Now that Harry Rowland has come forward, no one else will say anything.

Seeing that some people came out to object, Joe Douglas also knew that he had to bring Bao Zixuan with him. It was Reagan's intention to give the Asian auxiliary root server quota to Japan, and he could not refuse it directly.

Gordon Moore knows he needs to show something, and now is a good time to earn favors.

Gordon Moore: "What Professor Rowland said makes sense. I am very unfamiliar with everything about the Internet at the moment. Mr. Bao Zixuan has a deep understanding of computers, whether in the field of large-scale industrial computers, multi-protocol routing, or optical fiber transmission."

He has made outstanding contributions in all aspects. If the Asian auxiliary root server cannot be placed at Yulin Institute of Technology, it will be a loss for the entire Internet."

Seeing that even Old Moore had expressed his stance, Robert Calvin quickly gave Professor Leonard, the chairman of the Department of Computer Science at the University of Chicago, a look. The meaning was obvious. He could not let others take advantage at this time.

Professor Leonard: "I have carefully studied the campus network of Yulin Institute of Technology, and it can be said that it already has the prototype of the Internet. Many combinations and settings have important definitions for the development of the Internet. Such universities must not be excluded."

Unexpectedly, Robert Calvin would actually convince the University of Chicago to help him. It seems that this old boy is very skilled. He knows that there are many shortcomings in technology, making professional comments more practical.

Japan and the United States are allies, and Xiangjiang is returning to China. Whoever sits in the presidential position will give priority to Japan. This is a political issue. If technology cannot speak for itself, everything will be in vain.

At this time, Reagan also had a headache. He had already given a hint to the Japanese side. Now that he had to give the quota to Xiangjiang, how to explain it to the Japanese side became a problem.

As the President of the United States, it doesn't matter if you don't explain yourself, but it's always a bit embarrassing to break someone's trust.

Little Watson also received a lot of benefits. He was good at observing people's words and saw that Reagan was in trouble. So he said: "Asia has the largest population in the world, and the purpose of developing the Internet is to connect the entire world."

"You can definitely put two auxiliary root servers there, one in Japan and one in Xiangjiang Yulin Institute of Technology."

Seeing everyone looking at him, Watson knew that he would offend some universities in the United States. After all, if you put one more in Asia, you will have to put one less in the United States.

Little Watson would not make such a stupid mistake. After taking a look at everyone, he continued: "You can add one more auxiliary root server. If conditions permit, it is not impossible to add one to the Soviet Union."

"As long as the main root server is in the United States, and the chips and hosts are produced in the United States, then what does it matter?"

After hearing this, everyone suddenly became enlightened. Little Watson still had a bigger picture, and President Reagan was very satisfied with his proposal.
