The opera house was packed with people. In addition to the presidents and government officials of the two countries, there were also ordinary Frankberg citizens and business elites who were invited to attend the performance. Sitting in the VIP seat, Sim Gaud looked down at the crowd of people under the window and couldn't help but curl his lips into a smile.
Frankberg had a parliamentary system. Although the federal president represented Frankberg internally and externally, the real power was in the parliament and the prime minister appointed by the parliament. The president's main responsibility in internal affairs was to sign and announce the prime minister passed by the Federal Parliament and the Federal Senate, as well as the laws and decrees signed by the ministers of the federal government, but he had no veto power. The prime minister was the head of government, and he was only the head of state.
Even though he was the president, to be honest, it was only when he participated in diplomatic meetings that he more or less experienced the taste of power.
The lights lit up, and with the fluttering of the baton, melodious music floated from the stage. The audience all had an intoxicated expression on their faces. Today's performance was from Vienna's Comion Orchestra. Whether it was the level of performance or the repertoire, they were all world-class.
Deputy Prime Minister Evelyn Giestwetter, who sat behind Sim, looked up at the clock on the wall, pulled down the tie around his neck, and moved closer to the president's ear.
"Mr. Sim, I have another reservation in a bit. Is it okay for you to be here alone?"
Sim raised his eyebrows. The parliament's method of excluding him made him unhappy.
"Reservation? What reservation? How come I don't know about it? "
"It's personal. My alma mater is holding a lecture, and I reserved a seat in the front row. "
When he heard it was personal, Sim's eyebrows loosened, he coughed, and used the tone of a president.
"Then you can go. Leave it to me."
After receiving permission, Evelyn apologized to the president and deputy prime minister of Austria and immediately left. The moment he stepped out of the opera house, he immediately let out a sigh of relief.
"Go to the University of Ber. Hurry up, the party will start in ten minutes. "After he walked out of the theater, Evelyn looked around at the security guards and said to the assistant who walked over.
…
The chapel on the west side of the University of Ber was packed with people. Although it was a party for Han students, when they heard that the chief designer of Future 1.0 and the president of Future International would attend the party and give a speech at the opening ceremony, it was obvious that not only international students came.
"I'm sorry to trouble you with such a sudden request. We didn't expect there to be so many people. "Standing inside the chapel, Chen Yuqiao thanked Jiang Chen.
"That's fine. It's my honor to receive your invitation." Jiang Chen smiled.
With Jiang Chen's confirmation, a relieved smile appeared on Chen Yuqiao's face.
Looking at the dense crowd outside the church, Ayesha's expression was a bit nervous.
"Don't you need to worry about safety? What if there's — "
"Don't worry." Jiang Chen smiled at the nervous Ayesha.
Four Celestial Trade bodyguards were already standing in the four corners of the venue. He was also wearing a carbon Nano bulletproof vest, and Ayesha was beside him. He was not worried about any accidents.
The church bell rang out, striking six o'clock.
Members of the Fraternity, school officials, and special guest Jiang Chen all entered the venue. After the host exchanged a few words, he immediately handed the topic and the microphone to Jiang Chen.
With the microphone in hand, Jiang Chen calmly stood on the podium.
The audience was packed, and the entire lawn was filled with expectant audiences. The people in the back even stood on their own benches. The passion of the people was evident.
He had faced similar situations countless times, so no matter how many people there were, it wouldn't affect his mood too much.
"I'm surprised there are so many listeners below the stage. I only accepted the president's invitation to say a few words at the International Student Gala, but now it looks like I can't fool around anymore. "
As Jiang Chen said this, he raised his eyebrows at the audience.
Listening to the friendly laughter and applause below the stage, he waited for a moment before he said.
"I'm afraid everyone here has a higher educational background than me. I won't say much in terms of professional knowledge, but your Professor Graham probably knows more than me, and a lot of your students' credits are in his hands."
Hearing Jiang Chen mention his name, Professor Graham looked surprised, but then he smiled at Jiang Chen in a friendly manner. Future Technology replaced IBM as the leader in the artificial intelligence application field. It was a consensus in the industry. To be remembered by the chief designer of Future 1.0, it was an affirmation of his ability.
"Then let's talk about something that everyone is interested in today." After a pause, Jiang Chen kept the audience guessing. He smiled and waved the unknown brand phone in his hand to the audience, then put it on the table. "Technology."
Just as the audience was waiting for Jiang Chen's next words, a shocking scene occurred.
Blue light particles rose from the phone's camera, and the two 3D screens seemed to be real as they hovered beside Jiang Chen. Jiang Chen spread out his hands and gently held up the two screens.
The audience was so stunned that they even forgot to applaud. Whether it was the president of the University of Ber or the white-haired Professor Graham, they all widened their eyes at this sci-fi scene. It wasn't that they hadn't seen holographic projection technology before, but it was the first time for many people to see holographic projection technology that could interact with light and shadow.
And that wasn't the key point. What achieved all these functions was a palm-sized phone!
Gradually, the audience began to clamor and eventually turned into excited cheers and whistles. The media outside the stage cheered and the reporters forgot everything else as they expressed their shock to the camera.
"How does technology change our lives?" Jiang Chen looked at the shocked eyes below the stage as he spoke in Han.
The virtual screens on both sides translated his words into standard English and German in real time. Cries of surprise rang out from below the stage. However, at this moment, no one was able to express the shock in their hearts any further, because the previous scene had already vented all the astonishment in their hearts.
Everyone's mind was filled with the same question. How did Future Technology do it?!
"Science, this is how it changes our lives."
Jiang Chen knew that with his knowledge, it was impossible to leave a deep impression on the university students with just a few words.
But technology could!
For these young people, advanced technology might leave a more shocking impression in their hearts than money. He believed that there must be people taking pictures below the stage, and his speech would be uploaded online for more people to watch.
It would be a recruitment advertisement for Future Technology!
The phone was Yao Yao's masterpiece. In addition to the functions of a smartphone, it was also embedded with a holographic computer control component. Although the functions he used were the simplest of the holographic computer's abilities, it was enough to fool these "inexperienced" modern people.
"I believe you all have a lot of questions. For example, what's so special about my phone, how did Future Group create such a shocking product. Of course, please allow me to leave you in suspense because this is not a product launch of Future Technology. The smartphone in my hand is still in the conceptual stage. Perhaps it will be available to you in two or three years. "
"Every epoch-making technology can bring about subversive changes to our daily lives. Just like the steam engine two centuries ago, the internal combustion engine a century ago, the computer at the end of the last century, and the smartphone in our pockets. "
"I once again emphasize the importance of science and technology, not because Future Group's current investments are all focused on these cutting-edge technologies, but because it is related to each of our futures …"
On the stage, Jiang Chen passionately displayed his eloquence and described the blueprint of the future.
From virtual reality to the connection between virtual and reality, from alternative energy vehicles to the magnetic levitation that only existed in science fiction. The audience was already shocked by the technology he displayed. When they heard Jiang Chen's interpretation of the future, they didn't have the slightest objection.
The bell of the church rang seven o 'clock. An hour passed without anyone noticing, but the people present didn't feel the passage of time. When Jiang Chen described the future, the scene he saw in virtual reality unconsciously appeared in his mind.
Perhaps because he really "saw" it, his words were particularly realistic, and the listeners heard it particularly vividly.
When he finished his concluding remarks, the earth-shattering applause erupted.
Facing the applause, a smile appeared on Jiang Chen's face.
He knew he had achieved his goal. No matter what, the name 'Future Man' had left a deep enough impression in the hearts of these students. These people would all graduate from top universities in the future and would be the source of talent for Future Group. Even if Jiang Chen could bring back advanced technology from the future, the technology needed people to digest.
"In a short period of time … Is this really possible?" The students in the audience couldn't help but ask.
Jiang Chen didn't mind his abrupt statement as he looked at him with a smile.
"I don't know if it's a short period of time or a long period of time, but with your participation, the time will definitely be shortened."
The speaker blushed as he sat back down. Even if it was a nonchalant statement, it still gave him a huge boost. Of course, as to how he would develop in the future, it was not something Jiang Chen could predict.
He returned the microphone to Chen Yuqiao, who had been waiting for a long time. Based on her expression, she seemed to be reluctant to let go of the microphone. As the organizer of the gala, the International Student Association was eager for Jiang Chen to speak for a while longer.
Jiang Chen walked down from the stage and walked to the small church that served as the backstage of the gala. But then, a middle-aged man in a suit walked to him and extended his right hand with a smile. Behind him were two powerful bodyguards and a secretary carrying a briefcase. Just from this appearance, it was easy to see his extraordinary identity.
"Excellent speech."
"Thank you for the compliment, and you are?" Jiang Chen shook his hand.
"Evelyn Gisterwit, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Economy and Energy of the Federal Republic of Frankberg." Evelyn cleared his throat and smiled in a friendly manner.
