Chapter 538: Jon Skeeter

Since Fairchild Semiconductors created a "hard work, hard play" working atmosphere in Silicon Valley, overtime and various carnival parties have become the two most important nightlives in Silicon Valley.

Clearly, even when it comes to play, these Silicon Valley geniuses have a much richer imagination than the Wall Street elite would have fun going striptease after work.

Zhang Chen ignored Roger Barros's various **s and hints, and still didn't take her home.

Young, handsome, robust, and, crucially, golden.

When Mike Dell was in his thirties, he had already made the female employees of Dell shout loudly about who could be younger than our boss and who could be richer than our boss, crying and shouting that they wanted to marry into a wealthy family. Zhang Chen is still a little fresh meat under the age of twenty, and the temptation for most women can be imagined.

Genetically, females instinctively select the best males to mate with the hope of producing better offspring, and the same is true for males.

When human beings entered civilized society from primitive society, and the criteria for judging excellence gradually tended to status and wealth, money and power became the strongest aphrodisiac for some women.

For example, if Daddy Ma announced one day that as long as he was a beautiful girl, he could sleep with him, but he would not give a penny, and he would be ruthless. Don't look at him as old and ugly, there will be countless girls who are willing to give for free.

But Zhang Chen didn't accept the offer, and Roger Barros could only give up regretfully, and could only wait for the opportunity to talk about it later.

In the early morning, the bodyguard drove Zhang Chen, who was slightly drunk, home, Zhang Chen changed Simba's water, washed his face briefly, drowsy welled up, and fell asleep.

One night, Zhang Chen seemed to dream of a lot of things, strange, when Zhang Chen woke up, he found that it was Simba sleeping next to his neck, and his hot head was facing his face, no wonder he forgot everything in his dreams, only remembered that the background of each dream was stuffy.

Looking at the time, it was already eight o'clock in the morning, Zhang Chen went out for a run, and when he came back, he fried an egg for himself, and was eating when he received a call from Doug.

"It's done? so fast?" Zhang Chen was quite surprised, didn't they all say that the administrative efficiency of Europe and the United States was low, how could it be that the government approval of the change of land use nature was completed in just two days?

Doug's voice was hearty: "Of course, as long as the city council agrees, it won't be too cumbersome, but a few committees are a little annoying, I suggest you donate $100,000 to the Mountain View City Management Foundation, preferably every year, it will save you a lot of trouble." ”

When Zhang Chen heard this, he had to pay protection money in the United States. Forget it, just hand it over, at least you can start construction after handing it over.

What really surprised Zhang Chen was that the speed of the U.S. government's administrative approval was completely different from the previous stereotype of inefficient governments in Europe and the United States.

To develop real estate in the United States, you can also take out a loan for land, and after the land is closed, you can apply to the government for approval of the planning plan with a detailed planning plan, which is the most complicated step. The most troublesome thing during this period was the opposition of various committees and associations, such as the Committee for the Protection of Wild Duck Habitat.

After the construction drawings are issued, they must be submitted to the Construction Bureau for approval. After approval by the Construction Bureau, if it is not for personal use, but is sold to the outside world, it is necessary to submit a business plan to the Bureau of Justice.

Next, you can start construction, and when the construction progress reaches a certain level, you can apply for a loan, and the bank will pay the loan according to the progress of the construction period. U.S. real estate development adopts a bidding and contracting system, and the project management system is composed of the owner, the contractor and the supervisor. The power of supervision is very large, almost all subcontractors have the right to kill and kill, if the quality of the project is not qualified, it is difficult to pass the supervision and acceptance, only all the branch projects are signed by the supervision and acceptance, the overall project can pass the completion acceptance.

It may sound complicated, but in practice, it is very efficient.

Many people often have a misunderstanding, thinking that the radish is fast and does not wash the mud is a manifestation of high efficiency, and the reason why domestic infrastructure projects are done so quickly is because we are not pragmatic, so we do not pay so much attention to safety and quality issues. What's more, some extreme examples of Europe and the United States that can't finish building a building in ten years will be compared with the image of China's infrastructure madness.

But in fact, good engineering quality and strict supervision and scientific construction process and construction speed are not a pair of contradictions. Although the slow construction in Europe and the United States in some projects has its own reasons for higher requirements for construction quality and site management, it is more due to other factors such as protests and opposition by surrounding residents, labor shortages or lack of money, which has little to do with the fine management of the construction site.

The data center established by Tengxun in the later world, from the project approval in 07 to the completion of 10 years, before and after nearly four years, Baidu's data center in Yangquan also lasted four years. Facebook's data center was only established in 09 years, and it was completed in 10 years, which took just over a year, and Google's super data center in Selsell Bluffs, Iowa, also took no more than two years.

Of course, there are reasons for the lack of experience of Huaxia Company, but the difference in administrative approval efficiency and scientific construction management is the fundamental reason for such a huge gap between the two construction periods.

For a long time, Huaxia's high efficiency is based on the "breakthrough" and "improvement" of the administrative examination and approval system, and it has become the norm to pay the ticket after getting on the bus, and the whole project has been completed, not to mention the five certificates, and the construction permit may not have been done. In this case, of course, efficient.

Of course, Europe and the United States do have inefficiency, laziness and dogma are also facts, but Silicon Valley, as the world's innovation center, happens to have none of these negative factors.

Therefore, when Zhang Chen said that he hoped that the incubator could be completed within three years, Doug was very strange, thinking that Zhang Chen had insufficient funds or that the construction was difficult. After listening to Zhang Chen's explanation, Doug laughed and said that as long as the construction process is not complicated, it will definitely be completed in a year and a half to two years at most.

More than a month ago, Tinder Source had already begun to entrust Tom Mayne, the master of Roto Architectural Design Firm, to be the chief designer, and SA Design Company to do the landscape design, and Zhang Chen was very satisfied with the final plan.

The new headquarters and incubator of Tinder Source ended up in the modern style that Tom Mayne is good at, and the main body is mostly made of glass and steel.

According to the renderings, a five-storey office building and five three-story flat buildings account for about one-third of the entire park, while more land is occupied by lawns, fountains, trees, artificial rivers and lakes. These six buildings are not arranged in a regular manner, but are dotted throughout the park in different directions. According to Tom Mayne, this is about integrating the office into nature, integrating the entire campus with the surrounding natural environment, rather than simply laying a lawn or planting a few trees.

The design of the park also includes a stepped waterfall, which is very pleasant to take a walk along the waterfall when you are tired from work.

After bidding for the source, the construction was entrusted to Berchtel Engineering, a San Francisco-based company and one of the largest engineering companies in the United States.

The total investment is 130 million US dollars!

This should be Zhang Chen's largest single investment after his rebirth, except for the acquisition of Salomon Brothers.

Of course, 75 percent of the funds come from loans, and the money that really needs to be taken out by Tinder is only about 30 million US dollars, but after the completion of this park, it is destined to provide a steady stream of means of production for Tinder, and if you are lucky, maybe you can give birth to a genius enterprise that can really change the world.

"Jon, help me see how to solve this problem. A sentence popped up on Jon Skeeter's ICQ, and Jon knew by looking at the avatar that it must be his good friend Ivan.

Jon Skeeter glanced at the question sent by Ivan twice, and showed an interested look: "Where did you get this question from?"

Ivan typed quickly: "On the Internet, there is a website that is recruiting part-time jobs, I want to try it, but I didn't expect a question to come out after clicking confirm, this is it, can you solve it?"

Jon Skeeter typed nonchalantly: "It's not difficult, it just needs to use a Fourier transform, what kind of website is this?"

After a while, Ivan sent the URL to Jon Skeeter.

"AlphaGo, what kind of company is this?" Jonskeeter was a little curious, and after clicking on the human resources link, another math problem appeared, and Jon Skeeter silently chucked: "Interesting, try to solve it." ”

In three or four minutes, Jon Skeeter filled in the input field with the answers.

"Congratulations, you're smarter than 90% of the world, you've been given the right to go further, but if you continue to challenge, you'll lose your job. Do you want to continue?", a sentence popped up on the page.

Jon Skeeter came to the spirit: "Of course. ”

With that, Jonsky clicked the confirm button.
