The pressure of public opinion on the Internet has been fermenting, and it has even attracted the attention of traditional media, including the central media. They not only asked questions on the official WeChat account, but also made a special program and invited several professors to talk to people in the industry.

An interview program discussing education reform.

As an official media, the central media’s intervention appears to be very restrained.

Even for an interview program, the host showed extremely high standards and restraint during the guidance process. Therefore, in the end, it was not concluded whether English should be eliminated from the main subject of education or whether it was correct or not. It was just a matter of two different views.

collision, and guide the audience to think about whether English is still necessary as a major subject in Chinese education.

The effect is obvious.

Huaqing led a group of universities to cancel the hot topic of linking English Level 4 and Level 6 with graduation degree certificates. After nearly two weeks of fermentation, it did not cool down, but became more and more popular, becoming a phenomenon-level national discussion on the Internet.

topic.

This is very weird.

Because in many people's perception, the influence of Internet hot spots generally does not last more than a week before gradually cooling down.

However, it has been more than a week since Huaqing made the move to cancel the status of English as a major subject, and it is getting more and more heated.

Not only that, there are new related topics emerging every day.

For example, the stock prices of listed companies that specialize in English training have been plummeting, which directly caused this topic that should be classified as education to be directly transformed into an economic topic. Countless financial experts finally found a breakthrough, and various analysis articles appeared on the Internet.

These are the pressures that Yuxin Technology must face.

But in fact, pressure from the Internet has never been a problem for Wang Yufei, and he does not take various discussions on the Internet seriously. But this does not mean that Wang Yufei does not pay attention to this matter, because pressure is actually

Mainly from other levels.

He knows this, Tim Cook knows it, and Lu Yuxin knows it even better.

This is probably the real reason why Lu Yuxin took the initiative to ask Ying to work in the company's finance department.

Yes the pressure comes from English-speaking countries.

What Yuxin Technology hits is a set of combination punches.

The company no longer recognizes English contracts and changes all contracts to Chinese; it sets up the Yuxin Science Prize Foundation, establishes the Yuxin Science Prize, purchases academic journals led by the Yuxin Science Prize, and gradually increases the influence of these journals, while challenging the Nobel Prize

The influence of the award; re-planning the interface externally, developers who will connect the Xin system and the brain in the future must be proficient in the Chinese standard development language; lobbying China to abandon the teaching plan of using English as the main subject...

This does not require a discerning person. As long as the level of analysis is high enough, you can see at a glance that Yuxin Technology has jumped out to compete with English for the dominant position of Chinese in the world.

In the past, if a person did not understand English, it would directly affect his competitiveness in the international job market. If these measures by Yuxin Technology are successful, what we will face is that in the future, if a person does not understand Chinese, he will directly

Affects his competitiveness in the international job market.

Of course, this alone will not actually cause any pressure.

Language is just a tool.

The internationalization of Chinese did not just start at this time. Although it has not occupied an international dominant position, in view of China's huge market, far-sighted people in many countries have already listed Chinese as a required course for elite education.

After all, although not everyone is willing to admit it, since the popularization of the Xin system and the successful development of the smart brain, the world's science and technology center has been quietly shifting to China.

But the important thing is that if a certain language occupies the mainstream of the world, it will naturally enhance the cultural influence of its native country. This is the most important point.

The competition between major powers in peacetime is an all-round competition in economy, culture and politics. This has been proven long ago.

The problem lies here.

Economic competition aside, cultural competition is closely related to the universal language.

The more important its language system is in the world, and the more countries that use their mother tongue as a second compulsory language, the easier it will be to export their own culture, and the greater the cultural influence will be.

If a large country with a population of 1.4 billion had given up English as a second compulsory language a hundred years ago, it would not have been a big problem, because at that time the countries with English as their mother tongue were extremely powerful.

But now the economy and technology have begun to decline. If culture has also begun to decline, what are you trying to do?

But at this time, the virtual idol system and entertainment translator previously deployed by Yuxin Technology have begun to show their ferocious side.

With the rapid spread and worldwide recognition of the Xin system, virtual idols and entertainment translators have also become popular around the world. Those virtual idols that are so popular on the Internet have become the younger generation while competing for jobs with well-known idols.

spiritual sustenance.

If you want to know about idols who can make money for themselves, you can only find them in the app National Idol.

Being able to create a character based on your own imagination, and attract enough fans for the character you created, is a hugely profitable thing. The initial investment will be richly rewarded, as long as you can be on the homepage of the APP

As shown above, every time you use this character and image, you will bring a lot of cash benefits.

Movies, TV series, games, concerts and even commercial performances and commercials using holographic technology...

Especially if you can be selected to become an NPC in "The Eighth Continent", it means that you can have a lot of fixed income every month in the future.

The entertainment translator has given these Internet idols the opportunity to show their faces, and at the same time, the director industry is facing unprecedented subversion.

A high-end computer or a small network, coupled with genius creativity and imagination to construct a script, might be able to get good reviews in a major online movie, and once it appears on a good recommendation, it can be corrected.

Take off.

All of this is subtly affecting the next generation of young people.

Although intelligence has replaced the work of ordinary programmers to a certain extent, those senior programmers with aura and talent have become the most scarce talents in the world.

Well, if Xin System and Intelligent Brain gradually transition to high-level language programming with Chinese as the core in the future, future virtual idols will be embarrassed to say hello to people if they don't know Chinese, and there will be no way to become famous through entertainment translators.

With countless online film and television content, what will happen when Chinese culture begins?

In the future, it will be easier and easier to export cultural content based on Chinese to the world, while it will be increasingly difficult to export cultural content based on English.

This is not just the choice of one country in China, but the choice of countless countries in the world, and it is also the choice of countless young people in this country.

Think about it, when countless young people around the world have worked hard to learn Chinese, will they become curious about Chinese culture and start to take the initiative to understand the culture? All interests start from curiosity, and this is the real source of pressure.

Lu Yuxin's words, "Are you really willing to be the enemy of the world for Dudu?" are not aimless. This is where the real pressure lies.

Based on the current situation of Yuxin Technology, all the disturbances on the internal network can actually be ignored. If there is no immediate response, it is actually waiting for the outbreak of external pressure. After two weeks of fermentation, the signs have now begun to emerge.

…

Tim Cook went to the chairman's office to find Wang Yufei on the grounds of important personnel appointments.

Of course this is a normal thing.

The company appointed a chief financial officer without first communicating with the CEO. This is an unreasonable approach. Under normal circumstances, even if the chairman wants to appoint nepotism, a high-level position in the company such as the chief financial officer needs to be discussed with the CEO first.

, otherwise it is very likely that the CEO will feel dissatisfied and even resign directly.

Fortunately, this is Yuxin Technology.

Tim Cook, who has worked here for nearly four years, has developed a certain tacit understanding with Wang Yufei. Of course, the reason why he did not leave in a hurry may be that the ladder project is now proceeding in an orderly manner...

"You finally realize that the problem is getting worse because of your willfulness?" This is Tim Cook's opening remarks.

This sentence probably reflects that as a CEO, he actually quite recognizes Lu Yuxin's abilities.

Although Lu Yuxin had not proven herself in the financial work field before.

"What problem? Does it make you feel serious?" Wang Yufei smiled, stood up and prepared to make a cup of coffee for Tim Cook himself.

"You didn't read the report I submitted?" Tim Cook asked in surprise.

This rhetorical question made Wang Yufei slightly embarrassed. He had indeed not paid attention to the emails Tim Cook sent him for several days.

It’s not that I’m irresponsible to the company, it’s mainly that I waste too much energy on following up on the progress of the ladder project.

Of course, Wang Yufei feels that Tim Cook can understand this as a sign of trust from him.

"There are about 3,000 progress reports on the Tianti Project every day. The main focus is on the Tianti Project. You know, this is the most important project of the company now, and it is even related to the life and death of the company. So there really haven't been any recently.

If you pay too much attention to the internal situation of the company, what could go wrong?" As he spoke, the coffee had been brewed, and Wang Yufei placed a cup of instant coffee in front of Tim Cook, and then sat opposite the company's CEO.

"The settlement between Jixin system members and Eighth Continent Overseas has been delayed for ten days this fiscal year. This directly leads to Changxiang Technology and Yuxiao'e Company currently not having enough cash reserves to pay the licensing fees owed to us. This will directly

It affects the company's financial operation. The situation at Yu Xiao'e is even more serious. To maintain the financial balance inside and outside the game in China, if the settlement cannot be completed next week, an advance payment will be needed." Tim Cook calmly elaborated.

a fact.

According to the previously signed contract, the entire payment system for internal members of the overseas version of the Xin system and the online game Eighth Continent is mainly built by Google and Amazon. In other words, the monthly Xin system membership fees paid by all regions outside China and the

The recharge in the Bazhou game will first go to Google or Amazon's account, and then Google and Amazon will settle the bill with Changxiang Technology or Yuxiao'e Company.

Yuxin Technology really wants to build its own payment system.

However, due to various reasons, overseas payment systems cannot be established at all, so Google and Amazon can only earn a fee from it.

Fortunately, in view of Yuxin Technology's strong position in the world's technology circle, the price of handling fees is kept relatively low. If the two sides are balanced, it only accounts for about 8% of the total revenue.

According to the previously signed contract, the two parties will conduct settlement at a fixed time period in the second month of each financial quarter. Google and Amazon will directly remit the income of a financial quarter to the accounts of Changxiang Technology and Yuxiaoe Company three working days after settlement.

, and then the dividends will be shared by Changxiang Technology, Yuxiaoye and Yuxin Technology.

This has been done before and there were no problems. But this time the settlement was delayed, and problems arose.

For Changxiang Technology and Yuxiao'e, even delaying one financial quarter is not a big problem. In fact, the current funds of both companies are not too tight.

But it doesn't work for Yuxin Technology, and the reason is known to the whole world.

The Tianti Plan takes up a large amount of the company's liquidity. Even though Yuxin Technology is not listed and does not need to disclose financial reports, the ratio of income to expenditure can be clearly calculated. No one has doubted the profitability of Yuxin Technology, but the Tianti Plan is

This is a big hole, and a huge amount of funds are needed to fill it in every cycle of construction. Even Yuxin Technology's profitability will inevitably feel difficult.
