Although the Bay Area is a little greener than Los Angeles, it still looks like a loess slope without vegetation.

This is the case with the land that has been leveled in front of Zhang Chen, and there is no fence at all, a gust of wind blows, and people passing by cover their noses one after another.

"I still think you should have set up your office on Dune Road, it's so desolate. Doug pointed to the wasteland in front of him, "Twenty years ago, it was still a farmland, and a lot of corn was grown, and then NASA came and built the Ames Research Center here, next to the Murphyt Airport of the NASA Ames Research Center, and the noise of planes taking off and landing is very loud, I really don't understand why you must choose to build your incubator here." There are no advantages here except cheapness. ”

Mountain View is far from the dog-clagged Google City of later generations, and until now, there are many farmland and orchards here, and the only one that stands out is NASA's Ames Research Center.

This research center was really set up in the late 50s and early 60s when the United States and the Soviet Union were engaged in space hegemony, and it used to be an air base of the military. Later, the military and NASA set up a number of aerospace laboratories here, including the Ames Wind Tunnel, the largest wind tunnel in the world.

What kind of prosperous place can an air base and wind tunnel be built? The wind tunnel in Huaxia is built in the ravines and ravines of Sichuan and Shu。。。。。。

Although the SGI campus is not far away, it is still one of the cheapest places in the whole of Silicon Valley, and who would have thought that in 20 years, it would become one of the most expensive places in the whole of Silicon Valley?

Zhang Chen put his hands in his pockets and wore a pair of Ray-Ban sunglasses, "That's right, cheap, cheap is the biggest advantage." It's only 11 kilometers from Stanford and less than 20 kilometers from downtown San Jose. Now, whether it's Menlo Park or Palo Alto, where is there such a large vacant land? Even if there is, how much does it cost to get it? Since last year, housing and land prices in the Bay Area have risen by 50 percent, and the price of Palo Alto has doubled. If this five-acre piece of land were placed on the dune road, the price would have to increase by more than 20 times. ”

"And now, for less than $5 million, you can get such a large piece of land here, although the conditions seem to be a little worse, but you see, within five years, this will be the fastest growing area in the whole of Silicon Valley, both in terms of population and price. ”

Doug laughed: "Since you want this land, Bourne Consulting will help you handle the relevant procedures and application planning, but the agency fee of six points cannot be lower." ”

Zhang Chen waved his hand disapprovingly: "As long as you can take it down, these are easy to say." Let's go, I'll have a meeting in the afternoon. ”

Zhang Chen and Doug chatted while walking to the Ferrari F50 parked on the side of the road, when they came, it was Zhang Chen who picked up Doug, as long as it was a man, there are few people who don't like cars, Doug looked at this top sports car with only 349 cars in the world and envied it for a long time, "Go back and I'll drive it, I'll try." ”

Zhang Chen had nothing to do, and threw the car key to Doug: "Step on the accelerator slowly, the accelerator is too soft and the clutch is too hard." ”

When Zhang Chen mentioned this F50, he was really taken aback when he saw the car key, it was too simple. It's a real key, on one side of the key handle is the Ferrari icon, and on the other side is two remote control buttons, which is not much better than the key to the first little Xiali that Zhang Chen bought in 02 in his previous life.

Doug fastened his four-point seat belt, inserted the car keys into the keyhole with an excited face, and with a slight twist, all the dashboards were lit up, and with a light touch of the accelerator, the F50 flew out like an arrow from the string.

Doug's palms were sweating: "It's really fierce enough, five hundred and twenty horsepower is really not blowing." ”

"This is a Kenig modification, twin-turbo, with a peak horsepower of 800 horsepower. Zhang Chen said casually, "How is Barbara doing? I haven't seen her for a long time." ”

Doug focused: "She's been running for the district lately, and next year is a re-election campaign, so she needs to prepare in advance. ”

Zhang Chen didn't know if Barbara was really re-elected in his previous life, but he had a little impression of Kamala Harris, after all, he was praised by O'Hei as the "most beautiful senator".

When it comes to Kamala, Doug is indeed stupid, he chased Kamala for more than a month, but Kamala was unmoved, and in the end he didn't even answer his phone.

Zhang Chen said with a smile: "This woman is not simple, she has both ambition and skill, if you want a political marriage, it's okay, it's not a good choice to fall in love." ”

Doug shook his head: "You said the same as Barbara, forget it, don't talk about it." By the way, be careful, Mike Dale has been saying in the media that you are a Chinese spy, maybe there will be trouble. ”

Zhang Chen sneered: "It's not that maybe, it's that trouble has come." The FBI came to me the other day and said they wanted to know something about me, and I threw them directly to Chris, these people are racist. ”

Doug said solemnly, "Are you a spy or not?"

Zhang Chen squinted his eyes and glanced at Doug: "Have you ever heard of an eighteen-year-old spy? Have you ever heard of a billionaire being a spy?"

Doug laughed: "I almost forgot that you were only eighteen years old, haha, but you have not responded, which will inevitably lead to suspicion." ”

Zhang Chen's eyes rolled: "You're right, maybe I should say something... ”

"Zack, how do you respond to Mike Dell's accusations? Some people say that you haven't responded for so long, it just confirms Dell's right, what do you think?" Roger Barros asked with a smile as he handed the microphone to Zhang Chen's mouth.

"When a historian was taking a walk, he saw two people, A and B, arguing loudly, and the historian was very curious, so he went over and asked them why they were arguing. ”

A said angrily: This fool told me that the three founding heroes were Washington, Benjamin and Franklin. I said no, Benjamin and Franklin were one person, and the other founding hero was Jefferson, but he didn't say that Benjamin and Franklin were two people. So we started betting that whoever was wrong would lose $5 to the other party. But no one has been passing by in the vicinity, so that's why we quarreled. Now that you're here, tell me, are Benjamin and Franklin the same person?"

"The historian thought for a moment and said: Benjamin and Franklin are not alone. The three founding heroes were Washington, Benjamin, and Franklin. ”

A stood on the spot, and B said triumphantly: I'll just say I'm right, right?

A had no choice but to take out five dollars and hand it to B, and B took the money and walked away proudly. ”

A did not give up, and asked the historian: Are Benjamin and Franklin really two people?

"The historian glared: Are you stupid? Of course it's a person, and the three founding fathers are Washington, Jefferson, and Franklin don't know it?"

A was furious and grabbed the historian by the collar so that the historian lost money. The historian smiled and said, "You, you've only lost five dollars, but those five dollars can make this kid bastard for the rest of his life, why do you have to teach people to be smart?"

"B's name is Mike Dyer. ”

One acre is equal to forty acres
