"Mr. Metcalfe, President Emerson is already waiting for you in the office. Please follow me!" Because before leaving Geneva, Metcalf had successfully made an appointment with the Vice President of the European Committee for Standardization in charge of the electronics industry. , so the next morning, he came to the other party's office as scheduled. "Mr. President, I am honored to receive your warm reception" Following the young female secretary into a retro-style office, I saw an old man with thick reading glasses and white hair looking down. What are you wearing? Metcalf waited until the other party raised his head and then stepped forward to say hello. "Young man, I don't have much time. I hope you can make good use of your time." Although the young man in front of him is very polite, Emerson is already in his twilight years and has limited energy. There are still many things to deal with, so even if the other party He was very interested in what he said during the appointment, and he also hoped that the other party would keep the conversation short and explain his purpose concisely. "I will, Mr. President, this is the "Ethernet Protocol" published by our Dix Group not long ago. Please understand it first" Although there is another personal recommendation letter from Gate in his briefcase, but Metcalf did not intend to take it out immediately because he knew that the nature of the European Standardization Committee and the International Organization for Standardization were different. Therefore, he needs to successfully convince the other party technically first, and then come up with the handwritten letter to solidify his right to speak, so that there will be no abrupt feeling. "Sir, I don't think this is necessary. I understand its content very well. It's very exciting!" In terms of Internet communications, since the overall level of Europe lags behind that of the United States, this has created a very contradictory situation. On the one hand, Europeans are constantly learning from the advanced technologies and concepts of the United States. On the other hand, they have always wanted to break away from the influence of the United States and establish their own set of standards. When Emerson, who was responsible for this matter, heard that Metcalf, the founder of the Dix Group, wanted to discuss the exchange of Internet technology standards with him, he agreed to meet with him without any hesitation. Anyway. For him, there is always something gained. "Thank you for your compliment. I have another more detailed technical standard here. Please take a look" There are some differences between European standards and American standards. Differences in this area exist widely across industries. Metcalf certainly had this in mind before he arrived. Therefore, the more detailed technical standards he proposed are actually closer to the other party's standards and easier for the other party to adopt. "Well. It seems that Mr. Metcalfe is very concerned about the development of our European Internet technology. This technical standard is very consistent with our standards and our actual needs. We will consider it carefully!" It seems that the other party came to him. Sure enough, they have big plans. If they really adopt the other party's technical standards as Europe's next-generation Internet technology standards, there is no doubt that they will be led by others. Moreover, this is not conducive to creating a good development soil for local European companies. This is what they are unwilling to do, otherwise they will not implement technical standards that are different from those of the United States. You must know that at this time, the United States has a negative attitude toward Europe. Even if it is high-end military technology, part of it is open. Why do Americans do this? In order not to let the other party follow behind them, and they have such confidence and strength to let them do this. The high-tech field is inherently a complicated technical field. For example, if you buy my CPU, then you also need to buy the operating system that runs on it, and then the compatible motherboard, cache, etc. series of supporting parts, and you can only accept it with helpless eyes. Unless you have the courage to break your wrist and lose your money, you can only be controlled by others step by step until you develop alternative products independently. "Thank you for your affirmation, Mr. President. If there is an opportunity, I would like to give a speech in this regard to your relevant working group in person, and introduce to them clearly the purpose that this technical standard of our Dix Group can achieve and what it will bring." What kind of positive impact does the development of European Internet technology bring? " People subconsciously like to think about the outcome of things in the direction they want. At this time, Metcalf saw that things were developing very smoothly. He They wanted to strike while the iron was hot and offered to give a public lecture in the other party's organization to sell their technical standards to the other party and expand their influence at the same time. "Welcome, I think this will also be of great help to the work we need to do next. You see, how about we set the time in three days? What we need to doThese more detailed preparations will not only allow all the staff of our committee¡¯s electronic communications working group to attend on time, but I will also appear at the speech in person! " What a generous young man. This proposal of the other party can help him a lot, because they don't always have such good free training opportunities. Thinking of this, the smile on Emerson's face becomes even bigger. "Mr. President, I'm sure that will be the honor of my life. By the way, I heard that Mr. Gate, the president of IEEE, said that you are old friends. This time, I brought a letter from him. Please accept the handwritten letter you asked me to deliver! ¡± With that detailed technical standard as the basis for the dialogue between the two parties, and the other party readily agreed that he wanted to give a special speech in this standardization committee, the respected vice president in front of him will then In person. With all this added up, Metcalf feels that his trip to Europe will end perfectly in the next few days. Not only can he successfully snipe their competitors, but he will also let them dominate the Dix Group. His Internet technology standards have been widely promoted and recognized, and he has great fame and fortune. Like a beautiful young girl who has taken a bath, she is ready to accompany him in her bedroom. ¡°Go back and prepare well, young man, the future belongs to you. Yours, I'm very optimistic about you. At the same time, when I go back, please help me tell my old friend Get, telling him that I have successfully received the letter! " The appearance of this letter brought him some additional important information. Presumably in terms of the development of Internet technology, the technical standards of the Dix Group have been recognized by the IEEE, so the International Organization for Standardization, which is closely related to it, , I guess they have been convinced by the other party at this time. If they can fix the European Standardization Committee, doesn¡¯t it mean that their Internet technology standards will cover the whole world and affect the direction of the entire world at all times (To be continued.)
