Chapter 1292 This is a public opinion marketing
Caitlin's vision of the problem has always been very accurate, and this time it was the same. Although they did not let anyone in, news about Zhou Ming, Milovic and Migray were immediately spread to Morgan and other wealthy families.
"As it turns out, I knew it was a conspiracy. From the time he arrived in Las Vegas, all of what Zhou Ming did was a conspiracy. He actually made us all play around!"
Someone shouted in hindsight, threatening that Zhou Ming's conspiracy would not succeed, and they wanted to intercept the lord.
Piero said immediately: "We can't let them do whatever they want. We must stop Zhou Ming! I remember that Professor Tdoru was not Migray's teacher? We can use this to let Professor Tdoru contact Migray and ask him to help our Internet company. No matter what treatment Zhou Ming and the others gave, we can only be better than them! With Milovic and Peric, we can also fight for it!"
But this time, Boya had a different opinion: "It is definitely necessary to win over Perridge and others, but I don't think this will be effective. Moreover, Zhou Ming has always been cautious. Now that he has done this directly and publicly, it proves that this matter is not the key."
Piero was puzzled: "This is not the key. So what does Zhou Ming want to do? Could it be that he wants to buy Silicon Valley?"
Boya shook his head gently, not caring about the mockery behind Piero's words, and still said according to his own ideas: "Although I don't know what he is going to do, I have a premonition that he will surprise us."
Piero always thought that Boya looked down on Zhou Ming too much, but later facts proved that Boya's judgment was correct, because soon after, they received news that Tangren Investment Group was jointly with dozens of Internet companies in San Francisco and Silicon Valley to prepare to hold a computer science and technology conference.
When Piero heard this news, he was stunned. He didn't understand what Zhou Ming was trying to do, but Boya's eyes lit up beside him.
"So that's it. It turns out that Zhou Ming's real purpose is here. It's such a wonderful layout!" Boya sighed deeply, "It seems that Silicon Valley will make a big move this time!"
...
There are often various academic conferences in the United States, and many people simply believe that this is the United States respects and desires science and technology.
In fact, you have to look carefully at the organizers of these academic conferences. Many of them are organized by foundations invested by various companies and wealthy families. It is certain that you say they are eager for science and technology, but it may not be necessary to respect science, because for capitalists, the only use of any science and technology is to make money for them better and more conveniently.
To give a simple example, thirty years ago, a scientist published a discussion on DNA tool enzymes at a scientific conference. This is a scientific advancement, but for capitalists, they saw a brand new way to make money from the papers on tool enzymes. Later, the scientist and his team were recruited, and later there were insulin, immunoglobulins, various genetically modified crops, as well as various food additives, etc.
Of course, there are only a few ways to convert science into industrial products so smoothly. Every year, there are thousands of academic conferences in all sizes in the United States, and these academic conferences are everywhere.
The so-called scientific inventions and scientific achievements in the discussion are even more like crucian carp, but they may eventually be truly applied to industrial production, but I am afraid that there are only one in thousands.
But even so, major enterprises and wealthy foundations are still enjoying it, and scholars and professors from major universities are also enthusiastic about participating.
The reason is very simple. For major companies and wealthy foundations, a scientific achievement means a patent. As long as you hold it in your hands, you may be able to use it one day. To put it more directly, even if you can't use it for the rest of your life, you can't give it to your competitors! If it's really that useful, isn't it a good choice to be a second-hand dealer and resell it yourself?
In short, if you have more patents in your hands, you can take more initiative in the business world. Especially this is computer science. Compared with physics, chemistry and mathematics, computer patents are easier to convert into economic benefits.
As for scholars and professors from major universities, they are investing. After all, no matter any scientific research, it requires financial support. Even top laboratories such as Bell Laboratory are simply established by wealthy companies to monopolize industry patents.
It can be said that in the United States, these scholars and professors are just another type of senior workers who give entrepreneurial bosses.
It is precisely for this reason that when Zhou Ming instructed Tang Ran to promote the convening of this Computer Science and Technology Conference, he received a very good response. Not only were computer experts invited in California, but also computer experts from other universities in the United States also signed up enthusiastically.
After all, these experts are not stupid. They know that there are thousands of academic conferences in the United States every year, but most of them are just a subtitle. Most of them go through the motions and make a familiar face. Only when they are truly organized by powerful companies like Tangren Group, they are more willing to give something out.
To put it bluntly, it is waiting for a price, but this is exactly what Zhou Ming hopes for.
After seeing the momentum of the conference being created, Zhou Ming then asked Tang Ran to send an email to every invited scholar and other experts in the name of the conference organizer, indicating that the theme of the conference was to discuss with search engines as the core.
The email was sent out immediately caused an uproar in the entire computer science community. After all, most academic conferences are open, so why are the topics now limited?
So on the day the email was sent, a computer professor criticized the meeting in the media, saying that they were disrespectful to science because the attitude of science was open, and now their behavior of limiting the subject was to put a devilish shackle on science.
"Brother Ming, after Professor Sweran, journals such as Stanford and California Science have published articles accusing us of their practices, and some people even called for boycotting this conference online." Tang Ran told Zhou Ming about the current situation.
Zhou Ming was not panicked at all in the face of this situation, and even this situation was something Zhou Ming had expected long ago, so Zhou Ming asked Tang Ran to take the next step.
Soon, the San Francisco Times published a special report, which exposed the list of guests attending the Computer Science and Technology Conference: there were Aipai President Jobs, Dorko, and the chairman of the St. Landing Foundation...
With this list coming out, the entire American academic community dare not speak much.
After all, everyone still has to have a meal. In this luxurious list of guests, which scholar and professor would not want to participate? You should know that computers are not as basic science as mathematics and physics that can receive special subsidies. This is a discipline closer to business. Unless someone has a mine, no one wants to lose the opportunity to attend this meeting because of talking nonsense.
Of course, there are also people who don’t believe in evil, and they still mocked in the media that this is a wealthy party in Beverly, a complete farce and should not be called a science conference.
Then on the same day, Tangren Group named the professor in the media and removed him directly from the invitation list.
This incident caused a stir in the entire American public opinion. More media joined in and accused the Tangren Group of being a tyrant, but even after it was scolded in the media, any computer scholar with a little fame would not dare to talk nonsense in the media, for fear that he would suffer a disaster.
In response to this series of things, ordinary people would call the Tang family too arrogant, but only Boya understood it. He commented: This is really a great marketing!
Piero didn't understand why this was, and Bey explained to him that it was difficult to have any exposure in most academic conferences.
Piero understands this point that most academic conferences are boring and mostly have no highlights, so it is difficult to get any attention. It is good to be famous in the industry, unless some top academic conferences, many other academic conferences are even held, few people know about it. Although computer technology is a little closer to ordinary people, it is still the same.
"But an unknown academic conference is not what Mr. Zhou Ming wants to see. What he hopes is a grand academic conference, so in order to achieve this goal, he started public opinion marketing."
Boya told Piero that starting from the emails that Tangren Group sent were the subjects that were specified by Zhou Ming: "Don't anyone from Zhou Ming and Tangren Group know the problems that would arise when sending that kind of email? Of course they knew, but they just needed to ignite this public opinion."
"Everyone has seen what happened later," said Bear. "The front page headlines of major newspapers across the United States have been seized by this academic conference for several days. This is almost impossible in normal times, but now they have completed it with an email, without even spending a cent."
Piero said that this was exchanged for the Tangren Group with their reputation, but Boya said: "Compared with the exposure of this academic conference, this infamy is nothing. And later the list of guests came out, do you see if anyone dares to scold them publicly now?"
Boya said disdainfully that these people are just a group of pugs. Although you look at the grimacing people on weekdays, you really have to show off your stick. Their speed of admitting defeat is beyond your imagination.
Piero said he could understand this statement, but he still had questions: "So what is the purpose of Zhou Ming doing this with great effort? Is it just to recruit more search engine technical talents for his Feige company?"
Just as the computer academic conference was fermenting public opinion, Feige Company was officially registered and established in San Francisco.
Boya shook his head and told Piero: "A Feige Company? No, no, Mr. Zhou Ming's appetite is much bigger than this. He wants to swallow the entire Silicon Valley in one bite!"
