Chapter 703 Tiger Falls Pingyang
If you take Bell Laboratories into your pocket, you will not only get a group of top R&D personnel, but also get a complete R&D personnel training system.
Bell Labs can train so many Nobel Prize winners, even though it has fallen, since the 1990s, the R&D personnel who came out of Bell Labs can still win the Nobel Prize in Physics and Chemistry five times, win two Turing Prizes, and contribute a large number of top R&D personnel to Microsoft and Google.
It was still the result of Bell Labs being resold twice in a row after being resold from the Telephone Group. It can still be imagined that the foundation of Bell Labs and the ability to cultivate R&D personnel.
If Song Yang can take down Bell Labs, at least you don’t have to worry about talent issues in the future. Bell Labs can contribute a large part of the talents, which cannot be bought with Americans!
Now Song Yang's mobile phones, semiconductors, TVs, software development, etc. are all bound to Bell Labs, otherwise how could they develop various new technologies and new products so quickly?
In addition to these things on the surface, there are various patents and technologies that are not available now, but are certainly outdated in the future, video and voice patents, convolutional neural technology, unix systems, etc., all of which are from Bell Labs.
There are also a lot of top talents. The father of C-Grand languages that Microsoft is preparing to promote is Benjani, now in Bell Labs, there are also Chambers, the father of statistical programming languages, Corinna, Google's future search director, and others. They are now squatting in Bell Labs and developing silently.
People like Corinna, Bell Labs are still caught in a lot of people. If you can join these R&D personnel to Alcatel Mobile, IQ, Paypal and other companies, you will definitely not lose money if you buy Bell Labs!
As for the cost of more than ten or even two billion US dollars a year, it is indeed quite stressful, but it should not be difficult to survive in recent years and wait until Alcatel mobile phones, Telecom and others stabilize and provide ammunition for Bell Labs.
In the past few years, Microsoft, Apple, ibm, Intel and other companies, as well as Johnson & Johnson, Roche, etc. in the pharmaceutical industry, will increase their R&D investment. At that time, the US dollars invested every year were often calculated based on 10 billion US dollars. In contrast, the R&D expenses invested in Bell Labs are not so eye-catching...
Listening to Song Yang's words, Szetann looked serious and frowned. He was not just a R&D worker now, he also had to consider the entire Bell Laboratory and the thousands of R&D workers in this laboratory.
This kind of decision is not so easy. Szetann needs to consider too much. If he really comes out of the phone and telegraph group, then Bell Labs can only rely on Song Yang.
As for what Song Yang promised to pay more than ten or two billion US dollars in R&D expenses to Bell Labs every year, Szetan couldn't help but look at Song Yang. Just after leaving the Telephone Group, Bell Labs might have to live a hard life.
But if we can really survive and wait until Alcatel's mobile phone, Telecom, and America's life gets better and pay the full amount to Bell Labs, then Bell Labs will have a much better life than staying under the hands of the Telecom Group.
"Song, I need you to guarantee that after leaving the Telephone Group, you must be able to guarantee that Bell Labs has the lowest annual R&D funding!"
"Except for projects that have cooperated with Alcatel mobile phones, Panda TV and other projects, Bell Labs has the right to develop other projects, and no one else can interfere with these Bell Labs' R&D projects!"
"Bell Labs still maintains independent operation and has the power to recruit other personnel. All R&D personnel cannot be targeted..."
Szetann put forward many conditions to Song Yang, such as Song Yang's foundation, which is invested in the US for Bell Labs. Bell Labs has the right to allocate it, and does not require the foundation's consent. In addition, R&D personnel have the right to conduct research and development according to their own ideas, etc.
To put it bluntly, Szetann asked Bell Labs to be able to carry out research and development according to his own wishes without interference from Song Yang.
Szetanen and others are old-school R&D personnel. They believe that R&D should not be affected by the outside world and can allow them to perform freely without any intention. To put it bluntly, they should not be interfered with even studying that piece of cake.
This is also one of the reasons why the Telephone and Telegraph Group is unwilling to invest in Bell Laboratory funds. After investing so much US dollars, the laboratory is still unwilling to develop according to their wishes. It is a real sense of injustice.
But equally, sufficient funds can be used to develop without restrictions. It is also one of the main reasons why those top giants regard Bell Labs as a research and development holy site. In Bell Labs, they are all talented, speak nicely and have sufficient funds. How can they not want to come here?
Szetane looked at Song Yang. This was his request. Bell Labs could develop projects with Song Yang. But outside the project, Bell Labs had to play on its own. If Song Yang could not agree to his request, then Szetane felt that it would be better to stay under the Telegraph Group and cry so hard that he would have to pay them.
Song Yang tapped the table with his fingers. After a while, "I can agree to Dr. Szetanen's request, but Bell Laboratory needs to prioritize the completion of R&D projects with Alcatel Mobile Phones, Telecom America, etc."
Szetann showed a little smile on his face, still a little worried, but he was also somewhat expectant, hoping that Bell Labs could recover its vitality under Song Yang's foundation.
Nowadays, many large companies have their own laboratories, such as HP Labs, Xerox's Palo Alto R&D Center, Microsoft Research Institute, ibm Labs, etc., which sound high-end, but when Bell Labs recovers its vitality and recalls all tens of thousands of top R&D personnel, these large companies have their own laboratories, all of which are younger brothers, a group of Nobel physics and chemistry winners, and a bunch of Turing Award geniuses, ask which laboratories are compared with Bell Labs?!
Song Yang signed a bunch of agreements with Szetanen. In name, Bell Labs is now an independent company, but the Telephone and Telegraph Group is the major shareholder of Bell Labs.
To acquire Bell Labs, it is necessary to obtain the approval of the Telephone and Telegraph Group, but Szetann must also do it, otherwise he will run away with a group of people, and the Bell Labs he bought will be an empty shell.
Just like last time, Song Yang paid a large amount of R&D expenses to Bell Labs in advance to prove that the North American Global Investment Foundation will be able to support Bell Labs instead of talking nonsense.
"After reaching an agreement with Telephone Group, the North American Global Investment Foundation will pay Bell Labs a fee of $70 million to purchase new experimental equipment, recruit experimental personnel and... repair the place!"
When Song Yang finished signing the letter, he said to Szetanen that Bell Labs had not had a rest for many years. When it came to Song Yang, he had to rest for at least to make it look "high-end". Otherwise, how could he fool it? No, it was to attract more scientific research geniuses to jump into the fire pit.
In the headquarters of the Telephone and Telegraph Group, Bets looked at Song Yang in front of him. After hearing Song Yang's intention, he wanted to take over the burden of Bell Laboratory. If he had not maintained the demeanor of the head of a large company, Bets would have laughed out loud.
If the board of directors of Telephone and Telegraph Group and Wall Street investors know that someone wants to take over Bell Labs, the stock price of Telegraph Group will probably rise sharply!
Think about it, the profit of billions of dollars a year has been wasted. Now you don’t have to pay this fee anymore. Of course, you may have lost a lot of patents, technology, and the most advanced concepts in the future of the telecom industry, but... compared with the real money of billions of dollars a year, it is nothing at all.
Looking at Song Yang in front of me, Bertes, the head of the Telephone and Telegraph Group, remembered the scene when he first met Song Yang. At that time, Song Yang was still a "lucky person". He set up a line from Chicago to New York and made a big profit.
Before, Song Yang came to see the executives of Telecom Group. Telecom Group submitted the first advertisement for the Double-click company by Telecom Group.
Speaking of which, Telecom Group has a good relationship with Song Yang. Song Yang's first pot of gold is closely related to Telecom Group. Song Yang really made a fortune and cashed out a large amount of cash in Telecom Group. Telecom, which also has something to do with Telecom Group.
Telephone and Telecom Group is now the second largest shareholder of Telecom, and holds 28% of the shares of Telecom. Telecom Group previously sold its broadband business to Telecom, becoming the second largest shareholder of Telecom.
Thinking of these things, there is also Song Yang in the past, and looking at Song Yang, who is now rumored to be one of the most valuable people in America, is still going to take over Bell Labs. Bets couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
"Song, are you going to acquire Bell Labs?"
Bets looked at Song Yang, feeling hard to say, but the words that popped out of his mouth only meant, that is, "You have to add more money!"
"Bell Laboratory has special significance to the Telephone and Telegraph Group. Without the Telephone and Telegraph Group, the Telephone and Telegraph Group would not have been able to reach this day. It is the relic of Mr. Graham Bell and the pearl in the hands of the Telephone and Telegraph Group..."
"500 million US dollars!"
Song Yang directly quoted, is Bell Labs valuable? That must be valuable. From the real point of view, even if the quotation is ten times more, you may not be able to buy Bell Labs.
