Gu Ao's clearance of himself is justified, which makes people from the Wall Street Journal unable to find direct evidence to accuse him of his attempt to enter the field of personal computers immediately.

The other party finally had to cheat his attitude: "But as far as I know, Mr. Wang An, the founder of Wang An Computer, is now in a serious illness. Although he passed the position of CEO to his son, because of his poor performance, the handover was not stable.

At the same time, Tiankun Company recruited surrender and rebel, and hired the former CMO, Mr. John Chambers, who opposed Wang An's power decisions last year. All of this has to be suspected. At least you have been deliberately trying to poach Wang An's company!"

When Edmund of the Wall Street Journal finished speaking, he was trying to capture a trace of panic that was seen through from Gu Ao's eyes and expressions.

However, he saw a flash of relief.

"I said, they wanted to break their heads, and they could not guess that my ambition was so great: I wanted to take advantage of the stock market crash to directly merge Wang An Computer.

In their opinion, based on all the clues that can be found at present, it is estimated that "I want to dig out the corners of Wang'an's computer on a large scale and organize the technology within the scope of the confidentiality agreement, and get rid of the entire technical team."

The above is naturally a monologue in Gu Ao's mind.

Gu Ao was misunderstood by the other party that he just wanted to be organized and poached on a large scale, but instead he was relaxed.

This is also good. If you really can't guess anything, it will only lead them to continue to guess blindly. Let them think that they can guess a little bit, but they can completely calm down.

So, after briefly reassuring, Gu Ao forced out a few more strands of "I seemed to be exposed" expressions, and half-covered and admitted with a look of embarrassment:

"The issue of talent is of course very important. Wang'an computers are one of the benchmarks in the field of electronic technology. Technical talents who left Wang'an are of course very valuable to Tiankun and have very strong versatility. There is no secret that this is not to be said."

Edmund didn't expect Gu Ao to admit it like this, and was a little surprised: "So, will Tiankun transfer the industrial layout? As far as I know, from the current public information, some technicians who left after Wang An's internal reshuffle last year were assigned to Tiankun's R&D headquarters in China by high salaries after going to Tiankun to re-employed. Regarding this issue, I wonder what Mr. Gu wants to explain to people in the American investment community?"

Gu Ao smiled: "As far as I know, the three major automobiles have also set up joint venture factories in several cities with good automobile industry foundations in China. Going forward, UTC has also set up factories in China, and in my hometown, Qiantang, where Tiankun's R&D headquarters is located. Tiankun's arrangements are all pure commercial considerations like UTC or the three major automobiles, and it is just to take advantage of China's relatively cost-effective human resources costs."

Edmund: "But the three major cars use workers in China, and you transfer programmers!"

Gu Ao: "Are programmers particularly noble? They are so noble that only highly educated laborers in developed countries can cultivate programmers? The times are developing, and the demand for programmers and electronic engineers in the future may be ten or a hundred times that of now.

At that time, the society's demand for programmers may be one or two orders of magnitude lower than workers, and it is impossible to have three or four orders of magnitude less than workers like now, and there will be a hundred times improvement. So it is normal for me to care about the labor cost gap among programmers. There is no problem of hollowing out certain industries in the United States.

I can only say that I know China better than most other American entrepreneurs. Other American technology entrepreneurs do not know China's education level, and may think that even English education is not popular there, and they cannot cultivate enough excellent programmers, and are unwilling to try the waters. But I just see it more clearly than them and can use these resources in advance."

This truth is completely blameless, so the other party will not be entangled.

Edmund put away his pen and record book: "Gu, I'm glad you've accepted our interview today. However, I'm entrusted by someone and there's another conversation. I hope you can accept it and make some comments. You know, as a top public figure in the business world in China and the United States, there are many important people who are interested in the development of relations between China and the United States."

"I don't care about politics, I think it's better for us to stop here." Gu Ao shrugged, "And if you want to talk about those issues, just read "On China" co-written by me and my mentor. All my gains are based on that, and later I never cared about international relations again."

Edmund: "This is actually not my business. It is known to both McNamath and Ling. I will just bring a message, and it can be guaranteed not to publish it in public media, only for academic research. You know, there are many friends in the United States, who are for your own good. After all, you do not have American nationality. As a foreigner, if your attitude is unclear, you have too many interventions in the American technology industry..."

"Since you don't record and don't disclose it in the newspaper, then leave it to me to deal with it myself." Gu Ao nodded politely and stood up to see you off.

He knew that some things were always unavoidable, so it would be fine to find an opportunity to make things clear. Since the Persian Gate, Americans have indeed become more and more aggressive and like to divert the American people's criticism of Li Gen and Lao Buddy.

...

After Gu Ao sent off the Wall Street Journal, he immediately called his former mentor.

Of course, the other party is now a semi-retired consultant in the consulting company and is not very responsible for it.

"You can say whatever you want. If you want to poach or even acquire American technology companies, you will definitely dig deep into your attitude. If I do this, it will be unfair, so the top Chinese experts from other universities will talk about it.

If you relax, just think that you want to immigrate, how can you fool the visa officer? We at the Wall Diplomacy Institute in Georgetown are not as good as those at the Harvard Feync Research Center?"

"I see."

People came to New York from Boston and stayed in the Plaza Hotel, so it was not easy to dry it for too long. So after lunch, Gu Ao accepted the other party's appointment and entered the "defense" that was a succession.

"Mr. Gu, I'm happy to talk to you for the first time. I, Vogel, is my assistant Song Yimin. I think this meeting provides us with excellent materials for studying China's issues."

"Hello Professor Fu, hello Professor Song." Gu Ao didn't care about the other party's professional title, and he called him a professor who was very proud of his face, which was quite Chinese.

The other party is also very adaptable, as if he is used to the social inertia of Chinese thinking about problems, and both parties speak Chinese.

Although these two Harvard professors are surnamed Fu and Song, they are all real Wasp people. However, those American sinologists have the habit of choosing a Chinese name, just like Fei Zhengqing wants to be called Fei Zhengqing. (Fei Zhengqing’s original English name is John King Fairbank)

Professor Vogel Vogel is now the director of the Fairbank Research Center at Harvard University. The Fairbank Research Center is the East Asian Research Center at Harvard. It was only after Fairbank retired ten years ago that he was named after Fairbank (in 1987, Febank was not dead. He is already 80 years old, but he still has a few years of good life)

The Xiao Song next to him is now only an associate professor title, and is only in his early 30s. He is Professor Fu's assistant.

In later generations, there were also some jokes about Professor Vogel Vogel in China that cannot be called jokes, but they should be said to be real interesting stories.

It was said that in the late 1980s and early 1990s, some officials who were only top leaders of local provincial governments in China at that time. When they went to Harvard to communicate, a white professor stood up and asked: What do you think China should learn from Japan?

The Chinese official replied: At Harvard, you still need to ask me such a question? You should ask Vogel Voe.

Then the audience couldn't help laughing, until someone secretly told the Chinese local official: The white man I just asked you was Vogel Vogel.

It can be seen that Director Fu was already the American expert who understood East Asian issues best in the eyes of the Chinese.

Of course, Harvard's Fairbank Research Center is focused on different issues from the relevant research centers of the Wall School of Diplomacy in Georgetown. The former focuses more on history and sociology, while the latter focuses on international relations and diplomatic utilization potential.

After Vo Gaoyi and Gu Ao settled down, they began to chat casually about cultural identity and cultural misunderstandings between China and the United States. Gu Ao also knew that the two people in front of him might be equivalent to the "visa officer" who he followed in the capital action in the United States.

Although the law does not stipulate his obligation to cooperate, it is better to make the other party truly believe that Gu Ao truly believes that China and the United States can cooperate for a long time.

After chatting for about 15 minutes, Vogel Vogel took the lead in raising the first offensive question: "Gu, you and I are one of the people in the world who know the most about the similarities and differences between China and the United States. Do you think that in the current context of the times, the greatest possibility of friction between China and the United States due to cultural misunderstandings is the most likely thing?"

The other party didn't say that starting this year, Americans wanted to make trouble, but only said it was a cultural misunderstanding.

Gu Ao thought for a while: "I think the biggest problem for Americans is that they have never tried to understand a civilization without repeated game history. But on the contrary, after the seven or eight years of opening up, we Chinese have fully understood the repeated game framework. The differences here can easily lead to the US gaining momentum, while we Chinese people have always loved peace and hope to seek common ground while reserving differences and develop steadily."

Vogel Vogel thought for a while, fell into silence, and then said: "I didn't expect that what you are most concerned about is this point. Do you choose to interpret the severity and importance of the two countries' testing each other from the historical accumulation of the two countries? The Chinese are indeed very wary of taking history as the basis for inheritance."
