In the sky that is ten thousand meters high, there are white clouds under your feet. In the distance, dazzling sunlight sprinkles from the intersection of the sky and clouds, dyeing everything in your vision a layer of gold.

The sound of the aircraft engine was silent in my ears, and the entire development team of Liuerim occupied the front part of the aircraft cabin. The Chinese and English broadcast came from the on-board radio, prompting the passengers to complete the plane's flight and could untie their seat belts.

The beautiful stewardess walked out of the work cabin and asked the passengers what they needed.

"Sir, we have all kinds of wine, juice and drinks. Do you need anything to drink?" The 1995 flight attendant was a real choice, and both appearance, temperament and service attitude were impeccable.

"Just give me a glass of water." Zhou Shuo nodded and said calmly.

"Just give me a glass of water, too." Shao Shiming asked the flight attendant with some restraint.

The flight attendant wrote down the request of the two and turned away. However, a sudden burst of excitement sounded from the seats behind them.

"Wow, this is just flying. I didn't expect it to be like this!" Behind Zhou Shuo, a six-ear im software programmer, laying on the plane's window, looking out looking forward to it.

"Zhou'er, do you want to take care of it?" The plane had just changed to a flat flight, and the feeling of pushing the back disappeared. Although Shao Shiming's face was not very good, he was still calm. He turned around and looked at a group of enthusiastic employees and couldn't help asking Zhou Shuo.

"No, let everyone be happy, please be happy." Zhou Shuo shook his head and said with a smile: "It's all young people, it's not good to be too strict."

He took a lot of flights in his past or present life, but he had no problem with airsickness. As soon as the plane was changed, he recovered and took out the book he carried with him. He started reading it carefully.

"What book are you reading?" Shao Shiming tried hard to divert his attention and relieve the tension of taking a plane for the first time.

"Here, look at it yourself." Zhou Shuo lit the cover out and said intently.

"Taizu chose?" Shao Shiming said in surprise: "Why are you reading this book? It's an old thing."

"He is not old, hehe, he will never grow old." Zhou Shuo clapped the book in his hand and said, "Taizu is not only a revolutionary, but also a great strategic and tactician. He has extraordinary reference significance in business operations."

"That's all from forty or fifty years ago. Can he still know our current situation?" Shao Shiming sneered at this. If it weren't for Zhou Shuo's words, it would be even more ugly.

This group of people in the 1970s were instilled with the education of worshipping Taizu since childhood. However, the changes in society after they grew up made them doubt the correctness of their education. The seeds of doubt were planted in their hearts, and they could not see things fairly. Especially when the rebellious emotions in their hearts arose, they would have to jump from one extreme to another, and even form deep personal prejudice.

"Of course, it can. The central idea of ​​strategy and tactics is ever-changing. Sun Tzu's Art of War was a work from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Now there are different people who are studying it?" Zhou Shuo and Shao Shiming often hold such debates in school. Young people are full of energy and can effectively clarify their ideas during the debate.

"What's the same? Sun Tzu's Art of War is a military strategy, a historical document. Of course, some people study it. But Taizu's election talks about the communist revolution. If it is put in the past, it will be a capitalist. Do you still have to use his theory to guide your actions?" Shao Shiming shook his head and retorted with a chuckle. In his opinion, Zhou Shuo is indeed an absolute capitalist. How can he study the theory of a mortal enemy?

"Whoever says capitalists don't study these things. The thoughts of Marxism-Leninism and Taizu are all universal truths... Forget it. I can't talk much about this topic, there is a risk of river crabs." Zhou Shuo sighed and stopped talking.

"River crabs? What does it have to do with crabs? It's inexplicable." Shao Shiming looked at him for no clue.

Zhou Shuo waved his hand and said helplessly: "Again the guiding significance of Taizu's thoughts for business operations. Don't you think that China's current electronics industry is very similar to the situation of the Anti-Japanese War?"

"How can this be compared?" Shao Shiming said in a daze.

"Why doesn't it look like?" Zhou Shuo asked back: "Great Wall agent ibm, Founder agent dec, and Sitong agent Combat. The so-called national brands are actually agents of foreign manufacturers. However, not only do they don't know that the united team is external, they are fighting a price war, and they are very good at fighting. Dream Group is still a bit of its own things, but none of the core hardware is self-produced, and it is just a chassis manufacturer. Not only the electronics industry, but the refrigerator cannot produce compressors, and TVs cannot produce image tubes. How many industries have mastered their own core technologies?"

"It's just that the division of labor is different. Even so, we can make money?" Shao Shiming disagreed. This was also a common idea in society at that time. Some economists advocated that China should join the international production chain and learn from the four Asian dragons whose economy was rising at that time. They should engage in an outward-oriented economy and take the path of making money through processing and processing of incoming materials.

In that era, many people complained that Chinese people blindly followed the trend in business, rushed forward and made one industry and product after another. However, no one discovered that this was caused by the lack of core competitiveness.

"We can only make a little money for the time being. After all, the Chinese market is too big. No matter which industry we do well in, the cost of imported materials from abroad will rise sharply. After the production expands, because it has no core competitiveness, we have to fight a price war to squeeze the original profit. The final result is that everyone will rush into the industry. Then, in a few years, this industry will not make money and then go bankrupt again. In a few years, a large number of people will be squeezed in..."

Zhou Shuo smiled bitterly and said, "It's just like this cycle, because your industry has no threshold. Whoever wants to enter can enter? How can such companies and industries resist risks?"

Shao Shiming was speechless by him and hesitated: "Even so, what does this have to do with Taizu's election?"

"Because the solution is in this book!" Zhou Shuo opened a page and pointed to it and said: "Isn't self-reliance and independence the solution? The process of Chinese companies catching up with international standards must be long. How to save themselves when they are weak? This is not the content of a protracted war? Intel, Microsoft, and ibm have occupied the peak of the computer industry. How should Chinese companies catch up? Find our most suitable profit point? These can all be found in Taizu's Choice."

Shao Shiming scratched his head, obviously Zhou Shuo's words had a great impact. He gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, since Taizu's choice is so useful, I want to see it too."

Zhou Shuo smiled happily, took out another book of the selection from his bag and handed it to him, saying, "We must learn to abandon preconceived prejudice in order to see real knowledge."

The eleven-hour long journey exhausted everyone's energy. Even the few programmers who started to make trouble in the Liuer development team had already been silent.

When the plane slowly landed at Tacoma International Airport in Seattle, Zhou Shuo had a rich experience in taking the plane and felt relieved. I have to say that transoceanic flights are really too arduous.

"This is Pang Zhou, this is Yu Qiong." Zhou Shuo introduced the two people who came to pick them up to the Liuerim development team, then slapped his forehead and suddenly realized: "Oh, Yu Qiong was originally from our 64th Institute, but I forgot."

"Everyone get in the car quickly. It's still a little far from Seattle. Let's take a good rest after entering the city." Pang Zhou smiled earnestly and relieved Zhou Shuo some embarrassment. In the United States, his temperament has obviously changed drastically. He has become much more mature from his original tenderness. Even his figure has become much stronger, but his belly is still not smaller.

A group of programmers lined up to get in the car. Zhou Shuo pulled Pang Zhou and asked, "Are you ready for your living place? Are there hot meals and bath water?"

Pang Zhou patted his chest and said as if asking for credit: "Master, when did I mess up what you ordered? Don't worry, I booked a room for everyone at the Courtyard Hotel in Seattle. The three-star hotel, the city center, and outside the window is the famous Lianhe Lake, and the scenery is nothing to say!"

"That's good, let's go." Zhou Shuo patted Pang Zhou's back, and the group jumped onto the rented minibus and drove towards the city.

The minibus drove on the road for a short time. Although the fatigue of long-distance travel had not subsided, curiosity emerged from everyone in the development team. They sat in the car and looked around, feeling interesting in everything. Some even opened the car window and poked their heads out to look into the distance.

"This is the United States? There are so many cars!"

"Look at it, what a tall building!"

"More than that, look at so many tall buildings in front of you!"

When the city horizon of Seattle appeared in the horizon intact, the car became quiet.

These programmers were admitted to universities from all over China and were assigned to work in Xicheng. Seattle is the largest city in the northwest of the United States, with an area of ​​370 square kilometers. It is adjacent to the Pacific Ocean and has commercial wealthy families like Boeing and Microsoft. Not to mention Xicheng, even Beijing in 1995 did not have as many tall buildings and so many bright and luxurious cars.

This is where we are going to work? Will such an advanced country need our products? All of them involuntarily have this question arisen in their hearts.
