Chapter 188 Standing and earning money

Among the giant companies in America, those who can turn the tide and make the giant companies in decline shine again without exception have left their names in the world.

Needless to say, Joe Tus was at Wang An Company, and the most famous ones are Gerstner who saved IBM from the fire and water, and Jack Welch who brought General Electric, a century-old company, to the top again.

He is one of the most famous figures in America!

After that, perhaps the only one who can be compared with Joe Tooth, Gerstner, Jack Welch and others is Bob Iger, who led Disney, Mickey Mouse's old club, to stand up again from the crumbling situation.

Thunder rises from the ground, and some people are silent and inconspicuous, seemingly ordinary, but after a few years, or until they leave, and look back, you will find his fierce achievements.

When Hollywood was in collective decline, there was only one company that shone brightly and carried the glory of Hollywood. That was undoubtedly Disney. Disney crushed its rival DreamWorks and acquired Marvel, giving Disney a super printing machine.

Money machine, and the person who took over the Fox Group for nearly $100 billion, is Bob Iger.

Song Yang didn't expect that Martin Solo would recommend Egger to Song Yang. Among other things, Martin's eyes were really vicious.

Looking at Egger's information and photos, Song Yang did not hesitate and called the headhunting company directly, "I want to meet Bob Egger as soon as possible!"

After putting down the phone, Song Yang hesitated for a moment and then called the newly hired assistant from outside.

Except for those on the construction site, most of the personnel at America Telecom are new employees.

"Go and contact KKR Group and invite President Kravis to come here!" Song Yang explained to the assistant.

After finishing his work, Song Yang took a look at the time. Song Yang had another important thing to do today.

After calling out to Ulf who was guarding outside, Song Yang called Ulf and together they rushed towards Murray Hill in New Jersey.

Some places are famous for their local mountains and rivers, and some places are famous for their local people or objects. Murray Mountain is the latter.

If you go back a few decades and ask where is the holy land of the scientific research industry, the answer you will probably hear, without exception, will be Mount Murray, because here are some of the world's top laboratories, which can satisfy almost every experimenter's imagination.

Bell Labs!

However, after the Telephone and Telegraph Group was split up in 1984, Bell Labs was also split up. At its peak, tens of thousands of top experimenters were conducting various experiments on Murray Hill. Now only less than the original ones have been split up.

one fifth.

After passing through a long road and woods, when we came to Murray Mountain, we saw the huge laboratory complex of Bell Labs in the distance. As a place that once accommodated tens of thousands of scientific researchers, there is now something like this.

Signs of decline.

Upon hearing Song Yang's arrival, Stanzern, the current president of Bell Labs, led his people to see Song Yang. He had a straight face and almost said "Don't approach strangers" written on his face. Regarding Song Yang,

There was also a feeling of being rejected by people thousands of miles away, and I almost said it directly to Song Yang without waiting for a few words.

Bell Labs, which has been split up several times, has been thrown around like a burden. Last year, it was even more outrageous. After the Telephone and Telegraph Group split from Lucent, it also directly reorganized Bell Labs. Not to mention the split, but also

Turned Bell Labs into a company.

Although Telephone and Telegraph Group and Lucent Group have both claimed that they will continue to invest money in Bell Labs, which can be reorganized into a company, Bell Labs. In theory, Lucent has broken away from Telephone and Telegraph Group and is only serving the two companies.

They just provide research and development. If the two companies no longer want Bell Labs, they can simply kick Bell Labs away and let it bear the responsibility for its own profits and losses...

After going through all this, and being saddled with rumors that he might be the last president of Bell Labs, Stanzern was so cool that he really didn't want to take the blame. Why are the seven Bell Labs bosses in front of him?

The glory was endless, and when it was his turn, Bell Labs looked like it was about to close down.

The most outrageous thing is that a few days ago, a real estate developer from New Jersey actually came over to discuss with Bell Labs, wanting to buy the Bell Labs land and develop it into a business district and residential buildings. He thought that New Jersey now

There are more and more wealthy people, and the demand for high-end residences and villas has surged. The location of Murray Hill, where Bell Labs is located, is so good that I want to buy it and build a building.

Stanzern was so angry that he almost broke his opponent's legs and sprayed him all the way out of the laboratory.

But in fact, Stanzern also knew that this real estate developer was most likely sent by Telephone and Telegraph Group and Lucent Group to test the laboratory.

At present, the staff of Bell Labs has been reduced sharply. It is too expensive to maintain such a huge R&D institution. Change it to a cheaper place. The land of Bell Labs headquarters can still be sold for money. Why not, but Stanzern

How dare he play like this? If he really does it, his lifelong reputation in the scientific research industry will basically be ruined.

However, whether Stanzern is willing to do it or not, there is a problem before him, which is to attract investors for Bell Labs. Bell Labs spends at least more than one billion U.S. dollars every year. At its peak,

After burning $4 billion a year, life is much more difficult now than before. Telephone and Telegraph Group and Lucent Group are unwilling to spend too much money on Bell Labs for the sake of stock price.

When he saw Song Yang, he didn't have a good expression, especially the news from the Telephone and Telegraph Group, which made Stanzern even more cold-faced towards Song Yang. He thought that Song Yang also wanted to get money from Bell Labs again.

Take something apart.

Song Yang didn't care about Stanzern's attitude. People who are engaged in scientific research, especially those who are powerful, have no temper. The people who served as the presidents of Bell Labs all came from science and engineering, and some of them even won the Nobel Prize in Physics.

Award, Stanzern is also a great guy.

Ulf, who was following Song Yang, showed a curious look for the first time, looking at this place where the smartest people in the world gathered.

Song Yang was behind Stanzern, looking at Bell Labs. There were no sci-fi advanced gadgets like those in the movies, and the entire Bell Labs was a bit old. After all, more than half a century had passed since it was built. Otherwise, it would be old.

Damn it.

What caught Song Yang's attention the most was the long corridor in the laboratory. Laboratories and offices were lined up on both sides of the corridor. Song Yang saw names marked on the doors of these laboratories.

Rumor has it that when the people were recruited for the design laboratory, they were made like this in the hope that people at Bell Labs could communicate with each other at any time. It’s hard to say how effective it would be, but Bell Labs does have a way of cultivating people.

Song Yang followed Stanzern to an office marked with his name. Although he had a straight face, Stanzern still asked Song Yang after entering the office, "Water or coffee?"

"water!"

"Mr. Stanzern...Dr."

Song Yang, who was originally going to call Stanzern, changed his mind when he saw a doctoral certificate hanging in the middle of a large number of honorary certificates hanging on the wall of Stanzern's office.

Hearing this, Stanzern, who had a straight face, always softened a bit. If Stanzeren wanted to be something like a president, why would he come to a place like this? There are many companies that are willing to ask him to be their chief technology officer.

Even the American Energy Department came to invite Stanzern to come out and wanted him to lead the research and development of an energy physics project, but Stanzern refused.

"Dr. Stanzern, I think Telephone and Telegraph Group should have told you that I want to cooperate with Bell Labs!"

With that said, Song Yang took out a check and pushed it in front of Stanzern. Under Stanzern's surprised gaze, Song Yang said, "This is my personal donation to Bell Labs."

"I have always been very fond of technology, but it is a pity that I have not been able to enter the technology industry. However, I have the greatest respect for people from Bell Labs and other laboratories. They have changed the times!" Song Yang said

Said Duduzi.

People who do scientific research are basically straightforward and don't have as many twists and turns as Wall Street. After hearing Song Yang's "heartfelt words", Stanzern's expression finally softened completely.

"Song, what do you want from Bell Labs?" Anyway, Stanzern had never seen anyone who came to Bell Labs return empty-handed, and he wished he could evacuate Bell Labs.

Song Yang shook his head and corrected Stanzern's wrong statement, "Dr. Stanzern, I heard what happened to Bell Labs. I really want America Telecom and the icq and other companies in my hands to work with Bell Labs."

Lab collaboration, but that’s definitely not what I wanted.”

"I hope that one day, companies such as America Telecom and ICQ will be able to provide sufficient experimental funds for Bell Labs. They will no longer need to cut off one R&D project after another because of insufficient funds, so that Bell Labs can transform from a great company to a great one.

laboratory.

Let Bell Labs no longer become an ordinary R&D department for a company to gain profits. Just because a company needs to make profits, let Bell Labs develop electronic products, technologies, etc. for it. That is not the real Bell Labs!"

Listening to Song Yang's righteous words, which looked like he was heartbroken for Bell Labs, Stanzern couldn't help but twitched his lips several times, but was speechless. What Song Yang said was not the current situation of Bell Labs.

.

In order to bring more profits to Telephone and Telegraph Group and Lucent Group, they had to develop some products that Bell Labs was not willing to develop at all. Even the physics laboratory that Bell Labs was most proud of was now on the verge of dissolution because

The investment was too big and there was no return. The Telephone and Telegraph Group had long been unwilling to keep it.

Song Yang looked at Stanzern, who looked deep in thought and a bit sad, and felt that maybe the acting was a little too much, which caused Stanzern to get into trouble.
