Chapter 1351
During the lunch, everyone was talking and laughing, and naturally, they couldn't help but brag about Li Linfei, with all kinds of gorgeous words of praise.
Even if everyone had a word, it would be like an endless stream of water, which made Li Linfei feel embarrassed.
With this standard system plan, when the time comes, Future Technology will also have to follow the standard, but everyone still respects him immensely.
I can't help it, the future of technology has mastered the shipping benchmark, in the upstream end of the industry has a dominant market position, although the share is set, but if people find some reasons in the shipping card you, it will be very difficult to suffer.
So, the bigwigs present could inwardly disown an automotive outsider as their spiritual leader, but they couldn't ignore its energy.
By the next day, a press conference was held like a depth charge being detonated, causing huge waves around the world and completely taking the limelight away from this year's World AI Conference.
The Future Technology Group, together with the major car manufacturing giants from seven countries around the world, jointly announced to the public that they would jointly promote the commercialisation of future unmanned self-driving cars.
Li Linfei, who earned his stripes at the World AI Conference not long ago, claimed the lead again this time and spoke at an impromptu press conference, "Driverless cars in the future will definitely be safer than human drivers, when driverless cars start to become mainstream sometime in the future."
"Basically most people's lives will be preserved, both in an economic sense and in a social sense, which is huge."
And Bill Ford, the global head of Ford Motor Company, also told the press conference that "technological innovation is only scientifically sound if it adapts to the law, and unmanned autonomous driving should not ignore the norms of the law, at this stage."
"The legislatures of various countries are actively responding to the surging driverless frenzy to protect the safety of human travel, and the world's major automakers should actively promote the process of driverless-related bills."
The Daimler Group boss also put it succinctly, "The future of unmanned autonomous driving is irreversible."
Industry bigwigs have been actively speaking out, and the impact of this news cannot be overstated. The automotive sector is one of the major contemporary industrial powers, and one of the manifestations of their strong industrial manufacturing capabilities. The scale of the industry and the number of people involved are unimaginable in the industrial chain of car manufacturing.
There are simply too many points of interest to the media, starting with the issue of the bill.
The reason why we can be so confident that we can successfully establish a standard system scheme is thanks to the bill paving of countries in the field of driverless driving, which started to be laid out seven or eight years ago.
Unmanned autonomous driving has become irreversible.
But after this news broke out, the whole small book was like an outbreak of a big earthquake, the Nikkei index plunged in response that day, which was simply bad news for the whole small book.
In the press conference, which was hailed as a big change in the automotive world, there was actually no sign of any of the Japanese auto giants, and the other seven major automaker giants were all present.
Kobenko has three pillar industries, the electronics industry, the cultural and creative industry (animation) and the automotive industry.
This shows how drastic the impact on them was, even when the news came out, a large number of Japanese media indignantly questioned why the Japanese car companies were excluded from the system?
This moment all over the world inexplicably feel slightly heartbroken and of course secretly happy, especially the European and American countries, are some superficial brothers.
People at least wear crotch when the small Benzi play with your West, the result is the end is inside and outside to dig a hole, as long as the pit does not die to the death, the pit.
And little Ben himself said they had lost twenty years of their economy, and now it looks like more than twenty years. Last year, the GDP output of Japan was US$5.1 trillion, not counting inflation, and in 2012 it was US$5.9 trillion.
But in fact, strictly speaking, the peak of their economy was in the last century, when the GDP of Japan reached US$5.334 trillion in 1995, a year that was definitely the peak of the Japanese economy.
In that year, the small country's GDP reached 69.9% of that of the old US (the US was $7.664 trillion), making it the closest country in the world to take over economically from the US since 1945.
At that time, economists around the world were saying that Little Ben's GDP would overtake that of the US within a decade, and Little Ben was getting carried away, even publishing a book called "Say No to America", which showed how inflated it had become.
As for later, basically everyone on earth knows the events of the Plaza Accord, and Komoto's economy fell from its peak into the abyss, and the Japanese themselves said they had lost twenty years.
Now it seems they were wrong, it wasn't twenty years, it was twenty-six.
Even now it has not slowed down, last year's GDP of US$5.1 trillion not counting inflation has not even surpassed the US$5.334 trillion set 26 years ago, which was worth much, much more than it is now.
The economy has finally picked up in the last two years, but I never thought that at this juncture, the automobile industry, which is a pillar industry, would be excluded from the system by the world.
There is even a pessimistic said the media, the next two decades, Japan also to lose.
A kind of was the world against, was the world abandoned the feeling of oil and grease, mentality is about to explode, if not have the United States father in the above pressure, small Ben was so targeted, may have to crazy revenge society.
Affected by this, the Japanese economy ushered in violent oscillations and impact, Toyota, Honda, Nissan three major Japanese car companies market value plummeted, listed in the NASDAQ Toyota Group market value fell below the $150 billion mark that day.
Honda was only US$37 billion and Nissan fell to just US$29 billion. The Japanese authorities even contacted the White House as a matter of urgency, something that would be an absolutely unbearable disaster for the Japanese economy.
The automobile industry is definitely one of the most complicated industrial chain clusters in the world system today, thousands of suppliers depend on this industrial chain to survive, the top layer is out of order, out of tune, the suppliers below can't live their lives, their jobs are lost, it can be seen how anxious the Japanese are now.
Chapter 1352
At this moment, the White House, the office of the exploding head.
With his mouth pouting and his arms folded in front of him, the bomber is sitting on his presidential throne with his eyes closed and his head held high.
At the moment, two factions are "at each other's throats" in his office, making his office look like a food market, but Mr. President's full of shibboleths, sitting in a frowning and suspicious posture, but in fact, stable in the skin.
The two sides of the fight were the national interest faction representing the old US and the business interest faction representing Wall Street and K Street.
"Mr. President, we must contain this global call for technology fixing conference by Future Technology, that is a Chinese company and a high tech one at that, the United States of America must rearrange its forces and we must insist on locking the main conflict on that rabbit."
"Because they may be our biggest competitor in the future, and even the word may can now be removed, it has become a looming fact."
After a half-hearted rant, the representative of the national interest faction whirled to the President and took over, "We don't think that even the old Maoist should be our main competitor, the country is broken and crippled and his future strength is unlikely to pose a significant challenge to the United States of America in the limited foreseeable future."
"The real heartache now arguably is the rise of that Eastern nation across the Pacific, which is the crux of the matter, the other is the country with the most economic potential for the future and the United States of America must not tolerate the emergence of such an emerging and physically challenging power in the Asia-Pacific region."
At this point, a senior researcher at a think tank representing the business interests faction chimed in, "Admittedly you are right, but unfortunately the United States of America has missed the best time to contain it, two wars have knocked off $6 trillion from the US, not just $6 trillion."
"It also knocked out the best time to contain him, and what did we gain from the two wars? What political gain was gained? No, nothing, all that was fattened by the two wars was the arms consortium of defence contractors and some international financial speculators."
"Don't you get it? Reviving the domestic economy and maintaining hegemony abroad can no longer go hand in hand, the country is running out of money and look at the domestic infrastructure."
"There hasn't been any major infrastructure development since the 1960s, and the $6 trillion knocked out of the two wars would be enough to renovate the entire US infrastructure twice if it was invested in infrastructure."
"What's all this talk about manufacturing coming back with the abysmal infrastructure we have now? What can be built in dilapidated factories? There's nothing wrong with turning to the Asia-Pacific to contain this rival, but the country is out of money, out of money, out of money, out of money, you know? Without money, you can't do anything!"
Said the senior researcher, looking to the President, "The aftermath and impact of the two wars on our country has to be paid for, first there has to be money to do anything else, consolidating the nation's capital is the number one priority of the United States of America at the moment."
"What is our current situation? The slogans are getting louder and louder, the big stick in our hands is getting thinner and thinner, consolidating the national capital and revitalising manufacturing is the most important policy for the United States of America, but right now we can't afford to digest it alone, we have to share it with the Chinese."
At this point, the representative of the national interest faction or diplomatic interest group said coldly, "Even though containing this opponent is now already making our country suffer, you want to strengthen him further? This is capitalising on the enemy! It is treason!"
"No, it is tug-of-war." The senior researcher said succinctly, and continued, "The United States of America has gone from an initial overwhelming advantage against the tug of war to an equal one, a small advantage at best, which is the price being paid for a failed strategy in the first place, and the prerequisite for getting to the day after tomorrow is to find a way to get through tomorrow before we can get to the day after tomorrow."
The word tug of war was mentioned.
The president watched both of them tug at each other's throats, knowing full well in his mind how both of them were also not tug of war with each other on behalf of their respective parties of interest.
In this situation, he is actually unable to make independent decisions even as president to a large extent, and the reason he did not say a word was to see the final outcome of the tug-of-war between the two think tanks and the two interest parties.
One can see that the diplomatic interest faction wants containment, while the business interest faction has come to the opposite conclusion. The elderly president has actually inwardly alienated himself from the diplomatic interests, instead moving towards the business interests, the side he had been rabidly disliking.
A businessman by birth and having started out as a deal maker, he had seen it for what it was.
Deals, deals, deals, real benefits are what it's all about, don't get all wishy-washy.
It is also worth mentioning that another key factor that made this president start to reject the diplomatic interest gang was that when the president makes decisions within Washington, he is actually constrained by many factors.
The average person would think that as the President of the United States, he should be able to do whatever he wants to do and not be subject to the whims of others.
In fact, the factors that constrain the president's decision making are clearly stated to be the existence of a diplomatic power group and business interests in Washington, a group of think tanks on Wall Street and K Street, who set many standards of behaviour for the president.
This means that national decision making in the old US is not a decision made under the complete closed domination of the government, but is in a sense largely outsourced to think tanks or K Street.
The think tanks in turn are influenced by money, which in turn is influenced by customers, clients, and if we follow this logic, this outside use of money by clients can influence the core decisions of the White House.
Perhaps this explains is why Yisrael and the US empire are unbelievably hardcore, because the old US superstructure is a huge wave of Judeo-Titanium interests.
They organize lobby groups to go to the president all day long to blow their ears off, once or twice is nothing, three times, five times, eight times N. Anyone is annoyed, and even the president does not dare to completely ignore these Judeo-Titanium people lobby groups.
And where are the old U.S. Judeo-Christians? On Wall Street, K Street and, of course, New York.
On K Street, the old US has over 1,800 think tanks, large and small, as well as some in New York, and the US has arguably the largest number of think tanks in the world.
And these think tanks get their sponsorship money for doing research on topics from their clients, which are basically the Middle East, such as Saudia Arabia and Yisrael.
