Chapter 906 Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger’s Big Consultant

Happy Farm has become a phenomenon-level game, sweeping the entire sluggish Internet.

For a time, the Facebook network and the school network developed rapidly, and various data such as the number of registrations, click-through rates, and daily activity rates soared, giving people the illusion that the spring of the Internet was back.

However, the Nasdaq index is still falling one after another, so low that other Internet companies don't know where the bottom line is.

On days like this, the HuaXiaXin program production team began interview plans around the world.

Wu Tao and An Rong, who had stayed in Jinling for a long time, returned to the capital again.

Because the first meeting and founding meeting of the Tsinghua SEM Advisory Committee will be held in October.

As an established committee member, Wu Tao must attend in person regardless of whether he can be the chairman of the committee.

After all, who dares not to come to this conference, Dean of Economics and Management?

Golden autumn October.

The capital's color palette has jumped right over the gold theme and into the gray tones of the season.

There was even a bit of chill in the air.

At the beginning of the year, the Tianqi Foundation launched the northwest shelterbelt project.

With the Tianqi Foundation’s nearly 10 million donation to the Three-North Shelterbelt Project, the air in the capital has become much better this autumn.

Although the climate phenomenon of sandstorms has not been eliminated, at least the frequency and impact have been greatly reduced.

Riding a mountain bike, with the increasingly intellectually charming An Rong behind him, Wu Tao wandered slowly through the Tsinghua University Gardens in late autumn.

Although she arrived in the capital, An Rong still couldn't forget her work in Jinling.

"The response to the release of Lotus's new phone this time is not as strong as last year's. I am really worried about the sales of new products this season. After all, international competition is so fierce now, and there are so many domestic brands emerging one after another in the country..."

Wu Tao's gaze casually swept across every face on campus, and he said in a relaxed manner: "Then what do you think the problem is?"

An Rong frowned and thought: "I think this season's new phones do not have as big a breakthrough in innovation as before. At best, they introduce the application of mp3 format music as ringtones. As for improving the true color display performance , it’s not really a big initiative.”

Wu Tao nodded, "Your analysis is correct. But it's not that Leng Ning and the others didn't innovate in this year's new models. It's that they didn't dare to apply innovations to the main models. In fact, the all-in-one model launched this year Smartphones with keyboards are the main innovation direction in the future.”

"You mean the model that was ridiculed by newspapers and media as 'little fat'?"

"Yes." Wu Tao said with familiarity: "This little fat one, although its shape is a bit subversive, but it uses a full keyboard and the typing speed is very fast, which lays the foundation for basic business applications. In addition, it uses The touch color screen, coupled with the application of Palm-OS, has made a useful attempt for future intelligent applications."

An Rong pouted, still not quite understanding and said: "But the media evaluation this time is really bad. Even some competitors said that our Lotus mobile phone design has exhausted its talents."

Wu Tao smiled and didn't care at all, "Let them speak, they have the mouth anyway. And we only speak based on the data!"

Seeing the problem from the perspective of the management for the first time, An Rong could never be as calm as Wu Tao, "I doubt that Director Leng and the others have put too much energy into the research and development of Lotus Pod. As a new MP3 product , Lotus Pod is really amazing.”

"It's possible." Wu Tao didn't deny it.

The two were chatting when they suddenly bumped into Liu Yanlin and Cai Bao, who were pushing a cart full of computer spare parts, accompanied by classmate Jin Yue who was dripping with sweat.

Wu Tao suddenly stopped the car. At the same time, Jin Yue also saw An Rong and jumped towards her.

"Rong Rong, you two stayed together and flew together, do you still know to come back?"

An Rong jumped out of the car, squeezed Jin Yue's cheek and said, "Damn Yueyue, long time no see, your mouth is still so poisonous..."

Jin Yue pouted, looked An Rong up and down and said, "It's you, your temperament has really changed. I didn't recognize it just now..."

While the two girls were chirping, Wu Tao walked to the tricycle, put his arm on Liu Yanlin's arm and said, "What's going on? Are you two second-rate traffickers?"

Liu Yanlin chuckled and said nothing. Cai Bao, on the other hand, wiped his sweat and showed off like a treasure: "Boss, you don't know. Now that the school network, QQ, and Counter-Strike are so popular, many students in the dormitory want to get a computer. No, the school just started this semester We installed network cables in the dormitories, and now the demand for computers is overwhelming.”

"...But brand-name machines are too expensive, so we have room for activity. We collect performance requirements on BBS and the school website every week, and on weekends we go to Zhongguancun to buy accessories, and then debug and install them until they are delivered to your door. Business is booming!"

Wu Tao smiled: "Even Yanlin is wearing Adidas. It seems that you are making a lot of money."

"By the way, boss," Cai Bao showed off and then changed the subject: "I heard that our college is planning to set up an advisory committee. Are you also a member of it?"

Wu Tao didn't hide anything, "As expected of Cai Bao, you even asked about this."

During this conversation, Jin Yue also came over, handed a tissue to Cai Bao and said, "This matter has been announced on the Internet public account for a long time. The posters in front of the management building have been posted, and everyone in the school knows about it."

Unexpectedly, the school acted very quickly, so Wu Tao directly told the truth: "I came back this time to talk to Director Qian about this matter."

Separating from Cai Bao and the others, Wu Tao went directly to the management building.

Sure enough, there was a set of hardcover posters set up in front of the door, which contained the list and resume of the members of this advisory committee.

Wu Tao glanced over with interest, holy shit.

Why are they all foreigners? And except for Yahoo CEO Jerry Yang, all the people he invited were not selected?

As a result, the position of chairman of this committee cannot be guaranteed.

Not to mention how many people here have more senior qualifications than myself, such as Henry Paulson, the former U.S. Treasury Secretary and CEO of Goldman Sachs, and Dimon Morgan, chairman and CEO, etc.

Just those few guys who are not easy to deal with are unlikely to support him becoming the chairman of the committee.

For example, Lenovo's Lao Liu, Motorola Group CEO Christopher Galvin, and Nokia CEO Jorma Ollila.

In addition, due to the unspoken rules in the country, first-class foreigners and second-class Chinese, one's own advantage can be said to be gone.

Fortunately, I didn't go around wandering around and no one knew that I was running for chairman of the committee.

After knocking on the door of Qian Yingyi's office, Wu Tao sat down on the sofa and said, "Director Qian, are you really good at this trick?"

Listening to Wu Tao's words, Qian Ying walked around the desk with a tea cup and came to the sofa and said: "Wu Tao, I didn't expect that so many international friends responded positively to the invitation letter I sent out. As for you? Those friends who came here, even though they didn’t make the cut this time, it doesn’t matter, there will still be opportunities in the future…”
