Chapter 134 Cultivation of Talents
"That's all Stanford is all about."
Elsa's nearly prepared materials were placed on Catherine's desk.
"Hmm."
Although it was only mentioned once, it seems that Elsa quickly adapted to the work of a secretary.
"Thank you, Elsa."
"Hmm." Elsa blinked her big eyes, and she was cute.
Catherine looked at the introduction on the profile.
Stanford University, a private university in the United States, covers an area of 35 square kilometers, making it the second largest university in the United States by area.
"The future is also the second-ranked university in the world." Catherine silently added.
In 1959, Stanford University's dean of the School of Engineering, Turman, came up with an idea that was the turning point for Stanford: to lease 1,000 acres to the business community or alumni for a long time at a very low, nominal rent
Establish a company, and then they work with the school to provide a variety of research projects and student internship opportunities. This makes Stanford the first university in the United States to establish an industrial park on campus.
Now Stanford University, still unknown, the University of California is still the best university in California.
Catherine will meet with Fred Terman, dean of Stanford University's School of Engineering, who is also Stanford's vice president.
Fred Turman, the future "father of Silicon Valley", is precisely because of his strategy, it is precisely because of his symbolic land rent strategy that the Silicon Valley industrial park has been steadily developed. Without Termman, Silicon Valley might not have existed at all.
Stanford University doesn't have much influence right now, so when Catherine sent her proposal to Stanford, they were thrilled.
Catherine didn't even have to go to Stanford University, Fred Terman hurried here.
Originally, this was supposed to be done by Sanders, but he is now organizing research on LD and VCD technology for laser discs.
Because the talent gap is too large, these jobs that should not be done by the president can only be completed by Sanders.
As a result, the original president's job fell on Catherine.
"Hello, Miss Edson."
Fred Terman is 66 years old this year and looks in good spirits.
"Hello, Mr. Terman."
Catherine greeted each other in a friendly manner.
The plan has already been seen by the other party, so the communication is simple.
"We hope that Stanford University will be able to open a class that trains professional and technical talents for our work at the Ark Group. Like Intel, Apple and Blizzard, they all need such talents, and the number of people is about 100~300. ”
Catherine explained the matter to the other party succinctly.
Terman also nodded, this thing is an absolutely good thing, and it is necessary to expand the influence of Stanford University.
"It's been discussed on our side, it's a win-win situation, and we welcome it. But then again, Miss Edson is amazing, integrated circuits, micro CPU technology, these are enough inventions to cause a storm. ”
As they spoke, they began to marvel at Catherine's invention.
In universities, there are fewer professional businessmen, and they value technology and technology more, and Stanford's industrial park is also open to high-tech industries.
"Thank you."
In that case, things are much simpler.
So, the contract was quickly finalized. Stanford University recruits 100~300 students every year, which is specially trained for the Ark Group. The Ark Group, on the other hand, bears the tuition fees for these students and provides internship conditions at the same time.
Intel and Apple, both under the Ark Group, need different talents from the outside world.
For example, in today's programming, the vast majority of people use paper tape to punch holes, but Catherine requires assembly language and C language programming, so it must be specially trained at a fixed point.
Catherine is also considering working with a number of universities to conduct research on computer networks, but this is not a matter of being said in one place at Stanford University, and Catherine plans to involve other universities as well.
After all, in history, Network A was also the first to be networked in four universities.
So, the matter here has been decided.
But Catherine didn't stop there.
In addition to technical talents, there are also managerial talents, which Catherine urgently needs, but now that the United States has officially begun to transform into a financial society, many of the old generation of managerial talents have not kept up with the times. The reason why many companies are just a flash in the pan in this year is because the management cannot keep up. ,
Olson, it is precisely by virtue of the "matrix" that he successfully turned over.
It was at this time that Peter Drucker finally responded to Catherine, who is now an economic advisor to the ARK Group.
After signing the contract with Fred Terman, Catherine handed over the specific matters to the following, and she also went to meet with Drucker.
The other party is the father of modern management, and his theories continue to benefit people until the 21st century.
"Hello, Mr. Drucker."
Compared with Terman, Catherine has a lot of respect for Drucker.
"Hello, Miss Edson, it's hard to imagine that you are not only young, but also so beautiful. Oh, I always feel like I've seen you somewhere...... It seems to be ...... Red Alert? ”
Catherine smiled.
"Yes, there is an artificial intelligence 'Elizabeth' in it, and I played it."
The other party smiled.
After the greetings, Catherine asked impatiently, "I wonder what Mr. Drucker thinks of our Ark Group?" ”
"With all due respect, ARK's policy is a bit of a rush."
Drucker went straight in.
"Oh?"
Catherine raised an eyebrow and looked at Drucker.
Drucker groaned.
"Let's use this analogy. Now there is a family, they only have one or two books, at this time to sell them the shelves, obviously not suitable, it is better to go to the booksellers first, sell them books, when they have enough books, they will have the pursuit of the shelves......"
Catherine nodded.
Looking at it this way, I am indeed a little anxious for quick success.
Drucker continued: "The strength of an interest group is far greater than that of a group of companies, and only when everyone can eat the cake will they support you and support you to form a unanimous xenophobia." The current Ark Group has a lot of high-tech technology and adopts more advanced management strategies, but this is not enough, and your response to the outside is still somewhat insufficient. Only by achieving a win-win situation can the Ark Group stand, and now, the Ark Group is unique, and naturally no company dares to come over to the Ark Group, but what about the future? ”
Catherine nodded approvingly......
