At one o'clock in the morning South Vietnam time and seven o'clock in the evening Hans time, in Elliott's workroom, some important branch heads and some department heads from all over the world were making daily reports to Elliott.
Elliot walked to the screen wall with his portable keyboard that never left his side and asked everyone: "What chaos will the Carver Group cause to the world today?"
"King Group's oil pipeline in Babylon was attacked by a terrorist organization in the Commonwealth of Independent States, causing damage to a ten-meter-long pipeline."
"The Holy Land of Boko in Nigeria launched another attack on the oil fields belonging to the Italian Shenra Group. However, they obviously underestimated the security strength of the oil fields. In the end, they did not cause any losses and the entire army was annihilated."
"A manor in the suburbs of Niu Country was attacked by a GA organization (Great Again) composed of fanatical supporters of the previous Prime Minister Sister Mei."
The more Elliot listened, the more he felt something was wrong, so he stopped quickly: "My dear employees, don't you have some other news? The people have been tired of hearing about this kind of terrorist attacks in the past two years, and we have to find some new material. !”
Everyone was stunned when they heard this. Apart from the credit crisis, the only recent big news was various terrorist attacks. There were other big news, but they felt that they pale in comparison to the above.
Elliot felt irritated. Why did he raise such a group of imbeciles?
"Erica, the successor of the Jin family, gave up her hereditary baronetcy and vowed to draw a clear line with the domestic nobility. She is the first new-generation noble to change her stance!
The Shinra Group is vigorously developing private armed forces in Nigeria.
The ga organization is suspected to be behind the scenes of Sister Mei, aiming to retaliate against all the nobles of the Niu Kingdom!
How about these three titles?
Why do you always focus on those attacks and ignore other important news? "
Everyone was speechless by Elliot. Suddenly, a system prompt sounded in the hall: "There is external communication access to Route 7, located in South Vietnam."
He quickly said to the group of people on the screen wall: "Everyone, please excuse me."
Then after a series of knocks on the right, the screen wall suddenly darkened and a black and white picture was displayed. A white man occupied half of the entire screen wall.
The man came with a single headset, a poker face, and a cold and rigorous temperament. Seeing this face, Elliot finally smiled.
"Stamp, I just had to personally teach a group of idiots how to discover valuable information. I hope you can bring me some good news."
Stamp still had that serious look on his face, as if nothing could cause him to show any extra expression.
"The reporter sent by the headquarters to Hong Kong Island has already told me the ins and outs of the matter, but I think it is necessary to first explain to you the changes in the mainland IT industry in the past few years."
"Hmm, tell me."
"I think this time the Silicon Valley giants may not be targeting only doa alone.
In recent years, Google, Yahoo, Must Die, Youru, Microsoft, Amazon, IBM, Dell, and HP have encountered Waterloo in the Chinese market. Now, the IT upstarts in the mainland have begun to hype the concept of "cloud computing". One target is Oracle.
In the past few years, it was just the protective policies of mainland officials towards local companies that made it difficult for the Silicon Valley IT community to compete in the mainland. But later, the mainland IT community seemed to suddenly wake up.
Xinghuan Technology established a chip alliance with Chrysanthemum Factory and some related companies, and since then a number of upstarts have emerged.
First, the Chip Alliance monopolized the mainland's industrial software industry, and then Kingsoft fought back against Microsoft in terms of office documents. Recently, they also released a localized operating system that is perfectly compatible with Windows systems. Now it can be confirmed that mainland official departments are using it on a large scale. After replacing local operating software, the number of orders for Microsoft's various businesses in the mainland dropped rapidly.
Amazon is already in danger of facing competition from Taobao. After ele joined last year, they even considered completely withdrawing from the mainland market.
All of Yahoo's investments were in vain, and the portal's share was squeezed to the limit by Fox, Zhalang, and Pig Farm.
Instant messaging has always been dominated by Penguin.
Although Beidishaoshao, Twitter, and Youtu Turtle have not entered the mainland market, Renren suddenly emerged in the mainland three months ago. This website not only began to stand out in the mainland, but also continued to expand overseas. With the help of high-quality localization Services have begun to significantly erode the market share of the three in Southeast Asia and Eastern Europe.
Not only the software, but also the changes in hardware are even more surprising. Since ele was launched on October 1 last year, the personal computer business of Apple, IBM, Dell and HP in the mainland has shrunk sharply.
On October 23 last year, the Chip Alliance convened all enterprises in the mainland IT industry to hold the China IT Hardware Open Source Conference in Guiyang City, Guizhou Province. After the conference, Guizhou officials decided to build Guizhou into China's information data center.
A large number of local server manufacturers such as Lenovo, Inspur, Sugon, and Asus have also jointly created their own white-label servers (white-label means that the equipment is unmarked or general-purpose equipment). Since then, the market share of mainland brand servers has been plummeting. Correspondingly, What's more, the market share of white-label servers has increased to 26.63% in just three months and is still accelerating.
Recently they have started to hype the concept of 'cloud computing' again. I looked up the relevant information and I feel that they are targeting Oracle, which monopolizes most database-related services in the mainland.
In short, those Silicon Valley giants are not only abandoning their armor in the mainland, but are also losing ground throughout Asia. The mainland's official informatization construction has begun to develop at a rapid pace like their infrastructure construction. "
Elliot became excited after hearing this, "Great! That's great!
I didn't expect that so many changes had taken place in the Mainland and I didn't even know about it. This was a major mistake. No, I must get the broadcasting rights in the Mainland, otherwise the information in the Mainland will always be smoke and mirrors to me! "
Stamp shrugged and said: "Mr. Carver, please forgive me for being rude. This result is precisely caused by the joint efforts of the mainstream media in Europe and the United States, including our Carver Group. The brainwashing style of wanton distortion and fabrication of facts has led to the There has been a certain blunting of people's thinking patterns, which has strengthened their first impression of the mainland.
It is not that the group has not collected information in the mainland, but most field staff and local office employees have also been affected by this trend of European and American media.
They did not take the initiative to observe important information about some changes in some mainland IT circles, because they believed that "Tomorrow Daily" did not need to report such real information, so they did not take the initiative to collect it. Over time, this also resulted in dull thinking. Of course, this It is also related to the cautious and restrained public relations style of mainland companies.
Because I have been in South Vietnam for the past two years, I have come into contact with more real information, and I have personally been to the mainland several times. The field staff in South Vietnam are less affected by the mainstream media in Europe and the United States, so the information I collected is relatively accurate. value. "
Although Stamp's words were equivalent to scolding the Carver Group, Elliot didn't mind at all, and he even began to think about related issues within the Carver Group.
He and Murdoch always exaggerate, catch people's attention, and write news. The people below also understand that this kind of news belongs to the category of "fake news", but over time they will still be affected by this kind of brainwashing and indoctrination. Do you want to take the initiative to collect real information? As Stamp said, truthful things will not be reported publicly anyway, so why bother to collect it?
On the surface, many people despise this kind of behavior of posting fake news every day, but they subconsciously and unconsciously accept some views.
Especially for the mainland, many field personnel of the Carver Group also became only interested in the facts they wanted to believe during this long-term brainwashing bombing, and thus selectively turned a blind eye to information that disgusted them. If you are unwilling to actively collect information, this will cause great trouble to the Carver Group's external intelligence collection work in the long run.
