Painter, the Deputy Director of the Social Security Bureau, came in a special plane and also returned in a special plane.
He arrived in Washington D.C. on the morning of the next day. However, on the plane, Painter had already reported what he had seen and heard at Monster Industries to the president's office.
His trip plan this time was specially assigned by the presidential assistant, Weizi.
After listening to his phone report, Assistant Weizi asked him to go to the White House conference room for a meeting as soon as he got off the plane.
Painter rushed to the conference room without stopping. Only then did he realize that not only was the president's first assistant, Weizi, sitting in it, but also two technical consultants from the Federal Communications Regulatory Commission and a senior engineer from Google Technology.
"Mr. Painter, please take a seat."
Weizi ended the conversation with a few people and gestured to Painter. "You've worked hard all the way."
Painter quickly shook his head. Of course, it wasn't hard. He had been on a small business plane the whole time. Being in the cabin was as comfortable as being on vacation.
However, it was true that he was full of anger at Monster Industries.
"Mr. Painter, did Monster Industries prepare a luncheon for you?" Weizi tidied the blonde hair on her forehead and asked jokingly.
"No."
"Monster Industries is the most arrogant company I have ever seen. Their president is not a gentleman at all."
"This is within my expectations." Weizi sat elegantly on the chair, with a reminiscing smile, "In fact, I flew to Hua Xia to visit this young president, but I also didn't enjoy the welcome banquet.
"But I don't think he is arrogant. He is the most energetic young man I have ever seen.
"If it weren't for our different positions, I would have liked to be friends with him."
Even Miss Weizi had personally visited that arrogant young president?
Deputy Director Painter scratched his head. He didn't know whether to praise Ye Qing or belittle him.
Although the Social Security Bureau of the United States had a lot of power, there were still six deputy directors in the bureau who held the same position as him. Since Painter was sent to Hua Xia to be rejected by Monster Industries, it could be seen that he was not very powerful among the many deputy directors.
When Painter faced Weizi, he would inevitably be cautious.
She was Mr. President's first assistant. Her every word and action often represented Mr. President's will.
Painter was thinking about the wording, but Wez waved her hand and said, "Mr. Painter, in fact, this trip to Hua Xia is more important than you think."
"Your business is related to the internal social security department. You don't know much about the external and technology departments. Naturally, they don't understand the importance of Monster Industries to us. "
"I'll tell you now. There's a person in charge in the White House for information related to the Monster Industries."
"That person in charge is me."
"Now, tell me everything that happened from the moment you walked into the Monster Industries building to the moment you left."
Paines subconsciously sat up straight and looked at the ceiling. He recounted as he recalled.
Only Painter's voice could be heard in the conference hall. Weizi and the other three listened quietly. It wasn't until Painter recalled the moment when he met Ye Qing that Weizi gently knocked on the table and interrupted him.
"Mr. Painter, then did you see this person on the way into the lounge?" Weizi took out a photo from the document.
In the photo was a girl. She had obvious Hua Xia facial features and a pair of gem-like blue eyes.
Even Painter, who was used to seeing the customs of various countries, had to admire this mixed-race girl's angel-like delicate face when he stared at the photo.
Painter shook his head. If such a girl met him, he would definitely not forget in just two days.
Weizi put away the photo and motioned for him to continue.
When the narrative was interrupted again, it was when he talked about the bold words that Ye Qing said to him while standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.
"Mr. Painter, have you observed the young president in detail? The person who asked the question was a technical consultant from the Federal Communications Regulatory Commission. This consultant wore thick glasses and had slovenly hair.
"I've been watching him the whole time." Painter subconsciously clenched his fists. "He actually rejected the cooperation of Primordial Spirit Hands to introduce to the United States. I really want to see him show a guilty and hesitant expression."
"It's a pity that his heart is black."
"That's not important." The technical consultant shook his head. "I don't care about his expression. I want to know if this president has any electronic products that you have never seen before, or some kind of strange wearable electronic product?"
"Let's assume that Monster Industries has made a major breakthrough in next-generation Internet technology."
"Usually, the first person to experience the new product is this young CEO."
"Strange electronic products …" Painter relaxed his palm and pinched the space between his eyebrows. "I met him for less than twenty minutes. I only noticed that he was wearing a very exquisite Patek Philippe mechanical watch."
"Other than that, there shouldn't be anything else."
"Then did he wear glasses?"
"No." Painter shook his head firmly.
The technical consultant asked, "What about the entourage behind him?"
"There was a general manager standing behind him. He did wear glasses, but they seemed to be ordinary short-sighted glasses."
"Is it the person in the photo?" Weizi showed Kong Tao's photo, and the latter nodded.
Weizi showed a suspicious expression and said, "As far as we know, Kong Tao is not short-sighted."
"Can you draw the style of that pair of glasses?" Weizi took out a pen and paper again and pushed it in front of Painter.
Painter couldn't remember the details of a pair of glasses. He held a pen and drew on the paper for a long time, but he couldn't draw even a single lens on the glasses.
He could only vaguely say that the glasses were silver-framed, and the lenses were pure transparent. The style was very beautiful.
He really couldn't understand why Weizi called him here. Was it just to draw a pair of glasses?
"Did you notice that the lenses of Manager Kong's glasses have changed color?"
Painter could only continue to shake his head. If something like the lenses changing color really happened, of course he would remember.
"Is the frame of that pair of glasses thick?"
"This …"
"It should … should be thicker, right?"
At this time, the senior engineer of Google Technology sitting in the corner raised his head. He picked up a pair of Google Glasses that had been discontinued and asked Painter, "Is it as thick as our Google Glasses?"
"No." Painter answered very simply. At the same time, he thought to himself, "Your glasses are so low-class. Who would be willing to take them out?"
"I think the possibility of it being glasses is more than 70%." The engineer of Google Technology turned his head and said to Weizi.
"I think so too." The two technical consultants from the Federal Communications Regulatory Commission also nodded at the same time.
"What … are you talking about?" Painter felt that he was listening to a book from heaven.
Weizi sighed. "We are talking about the revolutionary product that Mr. Ye mentioned that can rule the next generation of the Internet."
This was only a commercial secret, and it was a secret without detailed information. There was no need to hide it from Painter.
Therefore, Weizi used an uncertain tone to clear Painter's doubts.
"We have been paying close attention to Monster Industries."
"From the moment they began to contact downstream suppliers in the semiconductor industry and signed a large number of semiconductor parts supply orders, we vaguely speculated that Monster Industries had a new product layout plan."
"Based on these semiconductor parts, it is not difficult for us to speculate that their new product is similar to a mobile phone in function, and its shape may be related to glasses."
"But we received news that Monster Industries planned to import more than 500,000 I7 processor chips. They also sent people to Hua Xia to negotiate with a memory manufacturer. They planned to purchase three to five million memory products."
Speaking of this, Weizi gently rubbed her blonde hair, and her tone became even more puzzled. "We judged that these orders were used to build a super server cluster."
"But."
"Yesterday, you reported on the phone that Monster Industries was about to rule the next generation of the Internet. They wanted to complete the technological feat that the United States could not achieve even with all its strength? "
Painter slowly understood.
It turned out that it was his words that overturned the previous conjectures of the think tanks in the White House office.
Now, they guessed that the product that could rule the Internet was a pair of glasses!
Painter felt a little dizzy.
"Personally, I don't think this is realistic, right?" It wasn't that Painter had never dealt with technology companies. Even under the Social Security Bureau, there were a large number of scientific research units.
"There's nothing unrealistic about it." Weizi smiled bitterly. "Mr. Painter, it's just like the primordial spirit hand product you saw. Isn't it a magical technological product? "
"But what can a pair of glasses do?"
Painter pointed to the technical consultant of the Federal Communications Regulatory Commission with thick glasses. "They can't stuff a computer into the glasses, right?"
"That's what we're most worried about." The engineer of Google Technology nodded very seriously.
"We suspect that Monster Industries not only stuffed the function of a computer, but also made an earth-shattering breakthrough in imaging technology."
"…"
