Of course, Hannah knows how important this "recommendation" from the data research company is, and to put it mildly, any software with no name, as long as it is recommended by the data research company, the developer of this software will send it!

But Anna and her friends never dared to think that such a good thing would fall on their heads, and for a while, she was even a little at a loss.

"Of course, I'm kidding you. ”

“……”

Like a basin of ice water poured down, Anna Strong, who was flushed with excitement just now, was instantly stunned, looking at Chen Geng in disbelief, and wanted to cry.

"Okay, I was joking with you just now," Chen Geng immediately changed his words: "Frankly speaking, I have never seen similar software appear on the market, but there is no doubt that this software you developed is very important for many users, and there should be many microcomputer users who like it...... The premise is that the app is really as good as you say. ”

Why did Chen Geng decide to include "personal financial management software" in the software recommendation list of data research companies?

You must know that the positioning of this software is personal financial management software, which is destined to be too expensive compared to the software that the company now recommends to users (the user group is destined to their purchasing power, if the price is too high, who will buy such a thing?).

The reason is not only that Chen Geng felt that if the table was full of big fish and meat, it would taste good to have a plate of green vegetables to spice it up, but from Anna, he suddenly realized that he had neglected a very important group before, that is, students and professors at MIT and Stanford.

Since the 80s, the professors and students of these two universities have not known how many superstars in the computer field have come out, such as the two founders of Cisco, the director of the computer center of the computer department of Stanford University and the director of the computer center of the business school, and the two are still two people, such as SGI.

When the Internet era comes in a few years, there will be many gods and top IT companies from MIT, Stanford, and the University of California, Berkeley: Yahoo!, SUN......

Those damn VC firms haven't realized what a treasure these universities are going to be, so why don't they take advantage of the fact that they're planning ahead of now?

Anna didn't know that Chen Geng was thinking so far-reaching, after making sure that the personal financial management software developed by herself and her friends really had a chance to be included in the recommendation list by Chen Geng's data research company, Mr. Fernández Chen was not joking with herself, Anna was suddenly excited: "Of course, Mr. Fernandez, I swear to you that this software is really good, we have asked several teachers to try it, and they all have this software is very good......

Speaking of this, Anna Sterling suddenly realized the identity of the young man in front of her, she stuck out her tongue, and hurriedly corrected: "Sorry, Mr. Fernandez, I know ......"

Chen Geng waved his hand: "We have a special evaluation department, I will arrange for someone to contact you when I go back, but now, can you take me to Professor Bell?"

Only then did Anna realize that she had dragged Chen Geng to talk for a long time, and stuck out her tongue embarrassedly: A super rich billionaire like Mr. Fernández has precious time.

……………………

When Chen Geng and his party arrived at Professor Gordon Bell's office, he was packing his things and preparing to leave.

Unlike Anna Sterling, Gordon Bell, who is now the chief designer of DEC's computer circuit, is too familiar with Chen Gengke, although the two sides have not dealt with each other, but DEC's failure in the microcomputer project has made Gordon Bell firmly remember Chen Geng's face.

It is precisely because of this that Dr. Gordon Bell or the professor was still very surprised to see Chen Geng brought by Anna: "Mr. Fernandez......?

Professor Gordon Bell didn't think that Chen Geng came to him to humiliate DEC's failure on the microcomputer project, he was simply curious.

"Dr. Bell, I'm here to find you," Chen Geng didn't go around in circles, whether it was his own time or Gordon Bell's time was precious, he went straight to the point: "Is it convenient to talk?"

"Well," Gordon Bell agreed without hesitation, "I know there's a nice café around here, we can go and talk." ”

The coffee in this café recommended by Gordon Bell is really good, but neither Chen Geng nor Gordon Bell is for coffee.

"Professor, I came to you today, there are two things in total," Chen Geng said to Gordon Bell: "First of all, I plan to set up a high-tech entrepreneurship support fund for students and teachers, in terms of scope, for the time being, it is only for MIT, Stanford and the University of California, Berkeley, these three schools, the support object is computer high-tech type, what do you think?"

Gordon Bell was a little surprised, he didn't expect that what Chen Geng told him was this.

As a professor at Stanford University, Gordon Bell knows too well how many amazing ideas the students and teachers of the Stanford Computer Science Department have, but these amazing ideas cannot be realized due to the limited funds, and if Chen Gengken sets up such a fund, it will of course be a good thing.

He nodded repeatedly: "Of course, this is a good thing, if you need my help, just ask, I have a good relationship with Leonard Bossak, the head of the computer department, I can help you introduce it...... By the way, can I ask you how big the fund is?"

Gordon Bell wondered if Chen Geng really intended to help students at Stanford, MIT and UC Berkeley, or if he was just planning to do some gimmick.

"It's tentatively set at $10 million, and if it's not enough, I can add more, and if it works well, it's not impossible to add to $100 million. ”

Chen Geng said very casually, as if what he said was not 10 million but 1,000 yuan, but Gordon Bell swallowed and foamed when he heard it: I know that you Chen Geng is rich, but damn it, can you not be so dazzling?

Speaking of which, although Gordon Bell is second only to Ken Olson's technical guru at DEC, his income is nowhere near as good as his ability: an annual salary plus bonuses is probably less than $200,000.

In this era when the per capita annual income of the United States is only more than 10,000 US dollars, Gordon Bell's annual income is almost equivalent to the annual income of 20 ordinary people. Kiridale's annual salary and bonus income is $500,000, in addition to more than $12 million in dividends, that is, even if there is no dividend, only the annual salary is compared, Gary Kiridaire has completely crushed Gordon Bell.

"Damn," Gordon Bell shook his head with a wry smile when he heard Chen Geng's words: "Hearing you say that, I want to start a business." ”

"That's my second purpose in coming to you, Professor Bell, and to tell you the truth, I spoke with Mr. Olson before I came, so ...... Have you ever wanted to come to my data research company?"

“……”

Gordon Bell didn't speak, he burst out laughing.

Chen Geng's purpose was actually not unexpected by Gordon Bell, the moment he saw Chen Geng, he already had a premonition in his heart about the purpose of Chen Geng's trip, but having a premonition did not mean that he had to agree to Chen Geng's invitation.

Shaking his head, Gordon Bell said, "Thank you, Mr. Fernandez, for having invited, but I'm sorry, I've been tired all these years, and I'm enjoying my teaching life now." ”

"Really, as far as I know, this doesn't seem to be the case?" Chen Geng said with a smile as he looked at Gordon Bell.

"Why do you say that?" said Gordon Bell's face.

"You do enjoy the leisurely teaching life, which helps your heart a lot, but what I learned is that Mr. Lawrence, the director of program work at Stanford University, asked you to write a proposal with him to the Defense Advanced Research Engineering Office to build an artificial intelligence machine on the basis of parallel processing," Chen Geng still smiled: "But as far as I know, you don't like the process of writing proposals for approval, and you hated this kind of work very much when you were at DEC." ”

Gordon Bell stopped talking, picked up the coffee cup and took a sip: what Chen Geng said was the truth, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

"Come on, come to the data research company," Chen Geng took the opportunity to send an invitation to Gordon Bell: "Professor, you should know that the data research company has a completely different corporate culture from DEC, we respect the creative thinking of technical personnel very much, and pay attention to the discovery of this creative thinking, for this reason, the data research company will use 15% of the annual sales revenue as research and development funds, to ensure sufficient funding for technical personnel."

You are good friends with Dr. Gary Kiridale and you should know that he is having a very good time now, and he doesn't care about business at all, as long as he makes the best product, and that's what he likes the most.

And you, after coming to the data research company, you can enjoy the same treatment as Mr. Kiridaire in terms of working environment, and we respect your labor, if you are willing to come to my company, I can give you a salary of $300,000 a year, after tax!

And you have a minimum of $200,000 per year.

In addition to this, you are entitled to a dividend of 0.5% of the sales of the project for which you are responsible......"

Listening to the words of Chen Geng, although Gordon Bell did not speak, it is impossible to say that he is not moved at all, there is a saying in the United States, called "How much your boss values you, just look at the salary he gives you", and obviously, Fernandez Chen attaches much more importance to himself than Ken Olsen.
