Chapter 1044
The golden cicada escapes from its shell
The most popular way for powerful people and wealthy people in America to increase their reputation is to donate money to communities, churches, and schools, and then report it to the media and reporters. It is simple, crude, direct, and immediate!
Of course, there are many sources of donations here. Some donations are direct donations, while others are just all kinds of pretentious words, such as Bill Gates, Buffett, and a certain robot at a Capitol Hill hearing.
etc., all threatened to donate most of their net worth.
The hype is all over the place, which has attracted many overseas media to praise these "good people" and ridicule the local big bucks for not doing human affairs. But in fact, the donations made by people like Bill Gates are under the banner of charity.
Cash out Microsoft shares or directly transfer equity to the Gates Foundation you established.
As for the so-called charity business, Bill Gates has no right to interfere with whether he should do it or how much he should donate. After all, he is a donor, and it is the management of the Gates Foundation who make the decision, and he has nothing to do with it.
melon……
No matter whether others believe it or not, whether Americans believe it or not, as long as Bill Gates and others believe it, and the overseas leeks believe it, that is enough.
After the donation, no one will care how many dollars the foundation distributes to the Gates family members every year, and how many dollars it avoids in taxes through the name of the charitable foundation.
In the future, there is no telling that Song Yang will also play some of this "Escape from the Golden Cicada" scheme, using this method to avoid taxes and pass on his wealth to the next generation. This has become America's tacit method. As long as you know one sentence, in America
In a place with such magical realism as Liga, someone would do something bad?!
The Bruno Family Foundation is now a well-known charity foundation in America. Of course, some people are gnashing their teeth and scolding this foundation, because in just a few years, it has made donations everywhere, and the annual donation volume has almost reached nearly 500 million.
The Bruno Family Foundation of the United States, privately, the Bruno family is crazy about land acquisition, has surpassed other established landowners, and is about to become the largest landowner in America.
The donation to MIT is just an inconspicuous donation from the Bruno family in a year. When the Bruno family wants to buy a farm or pasture, they will donate generously to the local municipal department, police station, fire department, etc.
Lawyers associations, veterans clubs, schools, hospitals and other departments will donate, and then in a few months, the land will be sold to the Bruno family. Of course, the Bruno family will not play with nothing, and will treat the original farmers.
High compensation was given, and under normal circumstances, those farmers were willing to make a deal with the Bruno family.
After all, except for some so-called family inheritance, who doesn’t want to live a life of debauchery in New York? Don’t think that farmers in America all yearn for an idyllic life. Think about it, a farm of hundreds or thousands of acres.
There are only three or five people taking care of it. They are busy driving various machines every day. It takes at least several hours of driving to go to the city. They work hard for a year. Most of the dollars they earn are used by seed companies and pesticides.
Companies, insurance companies, slaughterhouses, gas stations, and the tax department have taken it away. If there is a hurricane or flood in some year, they may be repaid and owe a lot of debt.
In recent years, why have the land in the hands of Bill Gates, John Malone and others become larger and larger? In addition to the ability to transfer money, the life of farms and ranches has become increasingly difficult. Don’t let too many go bankrupt, otherwise
How could they capture so much land?
Now, as long as you sell your farm and walk away, you can get millions or even tens of millions of dollars. As long as you don't overestimate your ability and go to Silicon Valley and Wall Street, don't go to Las Vegas to give up your life.
He can go to New York, Los Angeles and other big cities to have a good time and have fun. If he goes to overseas areas, he will live a more chic life than a god. Why not?!
Compared with the dollars donated to MIT by the Bruno Family Foundation, the scholarships, honorary awards, etc. awarded to Zhou Bailin by MIT every year are nothing.
"I heard that you want to find an internship in an electronic robotics company?!"
Song Yang asked Zhou Bailin. After all, he was the only child of the Zhou family and the Song family in America. Song Yang was also very concerned about this cheap cousin. Although he didn't send anyone to follow him and take care of him, he would do it every few months.
Ask once.
Zhou Bailin went to MIT to study for graduate school. Basically, he had to graduate with a Ph.D. and then return to Yangcheng. During this period, he would definitely need to participate in research projects.
It’s not surprising that Zhou Bailin knew Song Yang’s movements. After all, he majored in electrical engineering at MIT, and many professors and Ph.D.s collaborated on their research and development projects with Bell Labs, Alcatel mobile phone R&D department, PA Semiconductor, etc.
Yes, as emerging technology companies, in order to compete with established technology companies, these companies are quite generous in funding. This makes many American universities willing to cooperate with companies such as Alcatel Mobile Phones.
Seeing the confusion in Zhou Bailin's eyes, Song Yang said with a smile, "You should have heard the name of MIT professor Mark Raybolt. He founded a company called Boston Dynamics!
In the past few years, this company has cooperated with the federal defense department to develop robots that transport goods to the front line. However, it seems that these cooperation projects have not performed very well. The federal defense department is reducing its investment in Boston Dynamics!
"
"Professor Mark Rayport!"
Zhou Bailin was a little surprised. Naturally, he was no stranger to this great man. There was also a chain of contempt in the academic circle. There was a widely circulated saying in the academic industry that the gap between people is greater than the gap between people and pigs.
, is a true portrayal of the academic circle.
At MIT, where many geniuses gather, Mark Rayport was invited to become a professor at MIT after graduating. Being able to receive such treatment shows his strength. Like Stanford, Boston Dynamics was also born in Massachusetts.
The Institute of Science and Technology was split from MIT only nine years ago.
Zhou Bailin is naturally no stranger to this great man. His most famous statement is to build robots into a new species in nature. This is not to say treasonous, but at least it is jaw-dropping. It is conceivable that this year's man
What kind of character does an old man in his fifties have?
Now in the world, there are only two places that are most engaged in research and development of robots, Japan and America. Japan and Japan are really willing to invest money, and they have been preparing to use robots in industrial, medical and other industries to solve the shortage of manpower and costs.
What a high-priced question. The actual combat capabilities are very high. In the past few years, most of the robots in America, including Boston Dynamics, were developing robots for use in the war field, but the results were not very good.
Boston Dynamics also provided several robots to the federal defense sector and received some big orders. However, the robots were too noisy and could not be concealed on the battlefield. They even exposed their positions and implicated people on the battlefield. Boston Dynamics
The robot was quickly abandoned. After all, who wants to be a living target?
The robot industry sounds very cool, and everyone is hyping that they will enter human society in the future and become the most important auxiliary tool for human society, able to replace all kinds of heavy and repetitive heavy manual labor. However, from the emergence of the concept of robots to the next few decades
, that is, a concept...
Including Boston Dynamics, it has also become a "mechanical pet" in the hands of giant companies. It is bought and sold by people, all because Boston Dynamics cannot monetize and the robots it produces cannot be sold. After a while of speculation, it all died down.
But this does not mean that electronic robots are really useless, such as factory robotic arms, disaster relief robots, warehouse center robots, warehouse transportation robots and even electronic pets. Robots will appear in the future. As long as they don’t demand too much from them, they don’t expect it to happen.
How many dollars can it earn back, then you can enter this industry. The greater your expectations, the greater your disappointment, but there are some things you must have. Otherwise, when the industry completely explodes one day, you will not even be able to enter the industry.
"Alcatel Mobile, PA Semiconductor and Blackwater Security will jointly acquire Boston Dynamics. Bai Lin, if you are interested, you can join Boston Dynamics as an intern!"
Song Yang looked at Zhou Bailin and said, "Don't expect too much when you buy Boston Dynamics. Just treat it as having a technical reserve to be ready for any trouble. As long as the robots it sells can support themselves with the money they earn back, Song Yang
I'm satisfied.
As for Zhou Bailin entering Boston Dynamics, the technology inside will be completely open to him. How much he can learn depends on his ability...
