Reborn Tech Maniac

Chapter 804: Unity

……

The Zheru Spring Developers Conference, held before the launch of the fifth-generation Fangyuan personal computer, seemed to be full of materials.Various new technologies and new concepts have attracted the media's frantic attention, and at the same time, they have brought new business opportunities to the entire industry.

Take 6D as an example, it can at least add a wireless communication selling point to notebook computers; as for GPU, it can even bring out an industry comparable to CPU.

Inevitably, amidst the cheers and encouragement, there are also frustrated people.

For example, is developing a new generation of digital video technology Multimedia_Compact_Disc - multimedia compact disc, that is, Sony of MMCD.

Gein, Tang IT revealed during the technology conference that Zheru has almost developed the next-generation technology of CD, VCD, CD-ROM, CD-R, and CD-RW - Digital Versatile Disc, or DVD.

While there are no specific demos on the DVD, some features are pretty sure.

Among them, the capacity of DVD discs will be as high as several GB, which can accommodate better quality videos and completely solve the limitation that one VCD disc cannot hold an entire movie.

There is also a new version of the digital rights management system Content_Scramble_System - Content Scramble System, or CSS, which will be applied to DVDs.

Tang Huan's approach of "only hearing the voice, not seeing the person", whether it is a smoke bomb or not, was immediately supported by Hollywood, which made Sony, who thought it had entered the circle through the acquisition of Columbia Pictures, very depressed.

In fact, the multimedia battlefield is expanding.Recently, Apple's QuickTime and Microsoft's Video_for_Windows are the most obvious proof.

However, Tang Huan, who has already seized the first-mover advantage, as long as he "blocks" in a timely manner, it will be enough for those who want to rebel to drink a pot.

After participating in various technical themed activities at the Zheru Spring Developers Conference, Mr. Richest met with representatives of the "Eighteen Princes" including Fangyuan PC Alliance, VCD Alliance, etc., to discuss the current global economic recession The response of the IT industry under the tide - the leaders of Silicon Valley who have worked hard and thought hard, have worked so hard that people can't help feeling admiration.

……

Time always flies by for busy people, and before you know it, on Wednesday, April 4, the Los Angeles District Court held a trial on whether four police officers "used excessive force" against black Rodney King.

The jury saw the entire 81-second video, confirmed that Rodney King resisted arrest first, and found the four officers not guilty—there was no use of excessive force to arrest the suspect.

At 3:15 p.m., four Los Angeles police officers were acquitted by the court.

At 3:45 pm, a large number of people who received the news gathered outside the Los Angeles District Court to protest.

Because Ted Turner listened to the advice of the richest man, he dispatched a helicopter early and neatly to start a live report.

This enabled Tang Huan, who was in San Francisco, to get quite accurate real-time information just by watching the live broadcast of CNN.

"The situation might really be getting out of control." Looking at the chaotic scene on the TV screen, Mr. Richest Man shook his head, then turned to Tang Wenmao and said, "Remind the Chinese Chamber of Commerce over there again, and strengthen our vigilance."

As expected by Tang Huan, at 6 p.m., at the intersection of Florence and Normandy Streets in south-central Los Angeles, a group of restless black people gathered, showing signs of danger.

The Los Angeles police sent 24 police officers to this location in an attempt to drive away the crowd, but because of the disparity in the number of the two sides, these guys retreated back.

At 6:30 pm, under the gaze of the helicopter camera, these people at the intersection of Florence and Normandy finally exploded out of control like a spark falling on a haystack.

Watching the TV, the rioting crowd attacked the passing vehicles and ransacked the shops. Jin Chang and Jin Ge; Jin Ming and Jin Liang; Jin Ying and Jin Jie; Jin Jia and Jin Yan; Jin Jia and Jin Yan were sitting together. Nian and Jin Fang were so shocked that their faces turned pale.

Hu Yinmeng walked in, touched the heads of Jinnian and Jinfang, who were the youngest on the scene, and said angrily to Tang Huan: "They are still young, and they insist on getting together to watch these things. Is it?"

"Although they are young, they are already sensible." Tang Huan said lightly: "My son can't always be pampered. And these are the insights before him."

Just as Hu Yinmeng was about to habitually open his mouth to retort, he felt his sleeves being pulled. It turned out that it was Jinnian and Jinfang who hugged their mother nervously.

In the footage broadcast live on CNN, a truck was stopped, the white driver inside was dragged out, tortured, and passed out on the ground.

There were also relatively lucky victims. Another driver was robbed of $2000, had his ear cut off and fell unconscious. When the thugs spray-painted him to vent their anger, a black pastor shouted, "We must If you want to kill him, kill me too." He rushed over and rescued the victim.

At this time, a servant reported at the door, "Ms. Hu, there is a call from Xiangjiang looking for you."

"I'll go right away." Hu Yinmeng nodded, took Jinnian and Jinfang's little hands, and was about to go out.

Seeing this scene, Tang Huan coughed, Hu Yinmeng gave the man an angry look, leaned over and taught the twin sons softly: "Jin Nian, Jin Fang, you have so many brothers, if you are really scared, Go find them. Normally, you brothers are very united, so forget about it now?"

……

By 20:30, the intersection of Florence and Normandy had fallen into complete chaos. Many buildings were damaged, and petrol bombs were thrown and set on fire. The smoky atmosphere seemed to be the end of the world.

What's even crazier is that some thugs even started attacking the rescue workers who arrived.

Hu Yinmeng came back and said: "Shuyi Zhou called and said that Media Asia TV was simultaneously broadcasting the cable news network's program signals. Everyone was very surprised and worried about their relatives and friends who had immigrated."

"I have already assisted various Chinese chambers of commerce to take precautions, and I can only do my best to obey the destiny." Tang Huan pointed to the TV and said, "Look, Koreatown in Los Angeles is beginning to suffer. In the eyes of other ethnic groups, it is hard to tell what is going on." Koreans, RB people, Chinese, it is estimated that the entire Asian population will be implicated."

"Fortunately, our whole family is in San Francisco." Hu Yinmeng said with lingering fear.

"This kind of violent catharsis is easily contagious under the pervasive live TV broadcast." Tang Huan sighed, "I hope the chaos in Los Angeles can be calmed down as soon as possible, otherwise, it may spread across the United States. gone."

……

On Thursday, April 4th, the Los Angeles riots entered their second day, and the mood of the riots has spread to the entire Los Angeles, including Las Vegas, San Francisco, New York, Seattle, Chicago, Phoenix and other cities, which were also affected and followed relatively small riots.

The house of the richest man is naturally located in an upper-class community with affluent, developed and good law and order, but Tang Huan did not take it lightly, and arranged the most trusted family security team, and even prepared a helicopter.

It’s not that the richest man in Tang Dynasty is turbulent, but that he is the only one who can be relied on these days. He didn’t see that Koreatown, the hardest-hit area of ​​this riot, has been abandoned by the Los Angeles police, and the local residents organize armed security teams to protect themselves. It is safe, and the actual situation is that armed conflicts have occurred.

In response, Los Angeles Mayor Tom Bradley announced a curfew; US President Bush Sr. publicly stated that anarchy would not be tolerated.

At the same time, the Los Angeles Police Department was assisted by a support force sent by the California Highway Patrol. The California National Guard also established a response team of about 2000 people, but it has not yet been allowed to enter the city to suppress the riots.

……

On Friday, May 5, the riots in Los Angeles continued for the third day, and California Governor Peter Wilson finally asked the federal government for support.

As a result, various federal law enforcement officers began to go to Los Angeles to assist the Los Angeles Police Department and protect federal government facilities; about [-] California National Guards, as well as thousands of U.S. Army and Marine Corps, rolled into Los Angeles , to suppress the riots.

……

On Saturday, May 5, the riots in Los Angeles finally came to a halt.

The fuse of the riot, the Rodney King case, was retried by the federal court. A jury including two African-American members found two of the police officers guilty and sentenced to 30 months in prison.

……

Thanks to the advanced modern media, the scenes of the Los Angeles riots were quickly spread to all over the world. People's reactions were not only shocked but also incomprehensible, and some simple people couldn't understand - this is the most developed and civilized United States in the world. Ah, how could something like this happen?

In just four days that shocked the entire world, a large number of illegal activities such as looting were involved, about 1 people were arrested, 600 arson attacks occurred, 53 people died, and property damage reached 10 billion US dollars.

Among them, Korean shops suffered targeted damage, with property losses of about 4 million U.S. dollars.The storefront of Doo Soon-ja, the Korean female store owner who killed 15-year-old black girl Latasha Harlins, was naturally set ablaze.

Of course, other Asian ethnic groups must also be affected. Fortunately, there are no cases of Chinese deaths. It is finally worthy of the hard work of the richest man.

Of course, Tang Huan’s actions did not stop there. For example, the first Chinese-American female mayor in the United States, Chen Li Wanruo, the mayor of Monterey Park in Los Angeles County, showed her demeanor as a strong woman and personally led a team of 20 Chinese-American volunteers. The rescue team formed by the National People's Congress went to the scene of the conflict, and delivered a speech of "people hurt, everyone hurts" to the local people and the audience of the national television news network, calling on all ethnic groups in Los Angeles to maintain harmony.

At the same time, the power of technology has once again emerged. Digital surveillance equipment has provided a large amount of evidence for conviction, which has kept the Los Angeles Police Department busy. For several months, Mr. Richest Man has also secretly mobilized Chinese shops to install a large number of digital surveillance equipment. This brings together a disaster film with detailed materials, a teaching material for those who never forget the past and the future.

After the curfew was lifted in Los Angeles, Tang Huan, who rushed there, said in a speech at the post-disaster mutual aid event organized by the Chinese Chamber of Commerce: "I think sitting at home behind closed doors and disasters coming from the sky is the best portrayal of the previous four days."

"Obviously, in the face of a sudden disaster, the only way out is to hold together - the armed resistance of Koreans in Koreatown is the best proof."

"I have always called on everyone to live a good life on weekdays. It is far from enough. You should also pay more attention to politics, and even take out dollars from your wallet and donate them to voters who can represent your interests."

"Ms. Chen Li Wanruo actively ran in this incident, showing the courage of a woman who does not give up to a man. She is about to seek a position at this level in California. I hope that everyone can spare no effort to support our own representatives."

……

After Los Angeles returned to peace, the causes of the riots naturally became the focus of discussion.

There is no doubt that the Rodney King case was the trigger, and some politicians played a role in fanning the flames, such as Los Angeles Mayor Tom Bradley.

The black mayor has been in this position for almost 20 years. He once ran for the governorship of California twice in the 1980s, but both ended in failure.

When the ruling in the Rodney King case came out, Tom Bradley spoke out in a press conference filled with righteous indignation while calling for calm calmly; after the riots, the The measures taken by the black mayor are not effective.

Of course, it is politically correct. When discussing, everyone tries to avoid the important and the light. The high unemployment rate in South Central Los Angeles, the main place where the riots occurred under the influence of the US economic recession, has become a recognized macro reason.

In this case, the Rebuild Los Angeles Plan promised $60 billion in investment and created 74000 jobs.

After attending a food and medicine fundraising event, the richest man went to the south-central area of ​​Los Angeles to take a look. It was a mess, needless to say.Although he is not optimistic about the so-called reconstruction, he still responded to the call and invested a little money, which can be regarded as a voice for the Chinese.

……

Everything has two sides, and the Los Angeles riots have also brought "benefits" to some groups, such as the sale of guns, the further popularity of digital surveillance equipment, and the use of several helicopters to conduct live reports in all directions.

You know, by reporting on the Gulf War last year, CNN became an international media, and Ted Turner became the man of the year in 1991.

Therefore, the timely reporting of such major events will undoubtedly further enhance the political influence of CNN.

However, when Ted Turner met Tang Huan, he seemed a little depressed.
