Chapter 698: There was a storm.
Time Magazine has been around for almost a hundred years since its inception. If you want to review the history of the world over the past 100 years, but don't want to look at a lot of information, you can just read Time Magazine. Time Magazine is one of the top three weekly news magazines in the United States, with a wide range of content from celebrities and art to international issues and technology content. It had a wide readership across the world, and its popularity in China has been circulating from the Republic of China.
Huge Industrial Monster or Ye Qing on the weekly Times Magazine, it doesn't seem like a big deal. With the strength of the Huge Industrial Monster today, its appearance in the magazine, the last ten or eight times has been no problem, but the problem is the comments on its cover.
- A feudal technological empire.
If you look at the time, it's still early morning in the United States. The new issue of Time Magazine has just been published, and it may not have time to be distributed in the different regions.
Yang Baihe said it was a company employee and a friend who was studying in the United States. This friend worked in a newspaper in New York, so he was able to get in touch with this weekly magazine and see the edition of the magazine before it was distributed.
Using the feudal empire of science and technology to describe the Huge Industrial Monster itself represented the attitude of Time Magazine. However, the content of the article on the inside pages of the weekly made Ye Qing frown even more.
On the front page, there was actually a long list of names of lesser-known scientists in the United States, each with a comment.
—— The Huge Industrial Monster has given us a very bad image of a technology company.
—— Being at the forefront of science and technology leads to a technological monopoly. I appreciate the industrial technology of the Huge Industrial Monster, but I oppose the monopoly of industrial wastewater treatment equipment. Environmental protection should have no borders.
—— A remarkable technological enterprise has emerged in the Far East, but it seems just as arbitrary as the feudal dynasty a hundred years ago.
—— Does the Huge Industrial Monster bring technology to change lives, or does technology trump people?
—— It is a huge company that generates profits every year and can occupy the 70th annual GDP ranking of countries in the world. What energy does such a company have to reach the scale of today in less than two years solely by relying on the Chinese market?
Every comment was shocking.
To be on the cover of Time Magazine is to be on the front page of Time Magazine, which is the number one publication in the world. However, such a weekly magazine with a page thumb and a golden thumb used five full pages to feature the Huge Industrial Monster.
It's a technological empire good at working miracles, and this empire is mastered by a young man under thirty. Over the past five years, China's technological innovation has not been able to match the achievements of the Huge Industrial Monster.
What kind of business is this and why do we use the word "feudal" to describe this business?
Let's start with the [remote driving function] that the company will launch soon.
Perhaps technology brought self-confidence to the company soon after the Shi Lei car went public. The Huge Industrial Monster has set its sights on a "taboo" area. They have tried to leverage technology to solve the problem of large numbers of people driving without a license in China. Let computers replace human thinking and judgment, replace the role of driver's licenses and help those who lack the ability to drive on the road.
Driving without a license and driving under the influence of alcohol have always been the subject of resolute resistance and repression by countries around the world. After experiencing several drunk driving accidents that caused a national sensation, Chinese society is extremely sensitive to such incidents and has stepped up efforts to crack down on such incidents across the country.
Now the Huge Industrial Monster is trying to break that rule. Although the Chinese government has rejected the remote driving project, it continues to vigorously promote the project. We can't help but ask, whose side is the Huge Industrial Monster on in the weight of balancing corporate interests and life safety?
......
Ye Qing gestured to Yang Baihe not to speak yet, to concentrate and carefully look at the contents of the photos, page by page, but there was no expression on his face.
In five full pages, Time Magazine has spared no effort to describe the Huge Industrial Monster founded by Ye Qing, from the first roaming around the world to today's industrial giant, bit by bit. There are no praises throughout the article, only countless places, and doubts about the Huge Industrial Monster.
They wondered where the Huge Industrial Monster got its technology from. They wondered, what kind of invisible ruler existed in the Chinese market that could make the Huge Industrial Monster emerge?
They wondered, what kind of training must the rudder of the Huge Industrial Monster have to be able to control a giant industrial ship?
When he finally finished reading the five pages one by one, Ye Qing was still calm, but his fists were already clenched.
"What time is it in the United States?"
"Four in the morning, two and a half hours later, the public will be able to see this new issue of Time Magazine." Yang Baihe's tone was filled with anger, and the anger was naturally sent to Times Weekly. She had just read the article here, but she hadn't expected a weekly magazine that had been selling well for a century to spend so much energy smearing the Huge Industrial Monster.
Why? Why did the Huge Industrial Monster need a foreign weekly to point fingers at and comment on the country?
"It seems that Americans are jealous." Ye Qing put down the tablet and said in serious language that Yang Baihe had never seen before: "It's not just one or two tech companies that can unite with Time magazine. The tech companies that have been hurt by us can't do it. There's probably a US government attitude behind it."
"Of course ~ our Huge Industrial Monster has always had a bad relationship with the US government."
"Time magazine has a great influence. I believe that in a few hours, the contents of this weekly will be delivered to China via the Internet."
"Boss, how should we handle this? Time magazine may just be a prelude to the next storm, it's not shy about using headlines and five pages to create topics, is it just to upset public opinion and let the transport department reject our remote driving project?" Yang Baihe's eyes were full of doubts.
"Certainly not." Ye Qing shook his head and vetoed: "Remote driving is just software that can change the way people travel in China. If this function is launched, it will only change China. States USA is the country with the most cars in the world. Our remote driving feature is only useful for China, but it will be greatly reduced in the USA, because adults there, basically have driving licenses to conduct."
"There should be big projects, plasma battery technology, and smart assistants. The technology is of great value to American technology companies. Wait a minute. Time Magazine is just a prelude as you l you said. The real battlefield is always at home."
The wind picked up.
Combined with those that appeared on the Internet before, it also used the remote driving function as a spear and spared no effort to give Internet users a rhythm. Ye Qing could already have concluded that the two belonged to the same interest group.
To be able to unite with Time magazine, there is no doubt that the comments came from the United States.
