Chapter 115: The Internet of Everything
"Now let's talk about the land, how much did it cost?" After helping Hoffman make up his mind to lose weight, Chen Bo remembered to talk about work.
"170 million, a total of 4,000 acres. Lockheed Martin can be settled in after redecoration, and I recommend keeping the orchard for the first time and talking about it later. ”
"No problem, let's start talking to Tele Atlas now, the board basically agrees." Chen Bo directly instructed that the Trade Commission had approved News Corp.'s acquisition request, and the contract was about to take effect, so he was spending money so boldly now.
The Dutch directors of &las have accepted the Milhouse Foundation's offer of a 45% premium and will then submit a formal review to the EU for the company's ownership, Ant Corp., which will also be delisted from both stock markets.
As for buying more land, just because Ant's work park currently has only two buildings, and most of the 7 acres of land is still a green belt, it is very difficult to expand again, and the money originally reserved for the acquisition of Opera has to find another way to spend.
Lockheed Martin has already moved to Massachusetts, and the vacant places left behind will simply be taken over, and the land in Silicon Valley is not cheap at all, and it will get higher and higher, after all, all the high-tech companies are concentrated here. Taking advantage of the money, he hurriedly bought it and bought it along with an orchard next to the Loma company, which was the last remaining piece of land in the city government.
The land is also very characteristic, right on the border between Sunnyvale and Mountain View, with Yahoo to the south and NASA to the north. Of course, it's not the NASA in Houston, it's just a branch research center, and they have a small airport here, where Air Force One will stop when the president comes to inspect the Bay Area, and a military Humvee is parked outside the barbed wire fence at the airport.
Five kilometres further north is where Google is located, and Silicon Valley is already connected, with hills in addition to parks and green spaces. Without dealing with administrative issues, it is difficult to distinguish which part is in charge of which area.
In the future, Ant Search will take Pengcheng and Silicon Valley as its two technology centers, and other regional cities as its marketing and data processing offices.
The City of Berkeley, along with the City of Oakland, belongs to Alameda County and has a higher administrative level than the city in the United States and Japan. The two cities are across the ocean from San Francisco and connected by the Bay Bridge, just over an hour from Silicon Valley.
Sunnyvale is at the southernmost tip of the bay and forms an oval with the two cities, so you can get to Berkeley directly north from Highway 180 in the east without a detour, and you can see the NBA team's Golden State Warriors' home of the Golden State Warriors in Oakland.
Chen Bo also wants to name a court, but there are no vacant seats for all teams, even if it is the home of the Los Angeles Lakers and the Clippers, Staples itself is the largest manufacturer of office supplies in the United States, with an annual revenue of more than 10 billion US dollars, which is much better than his little ant, and has signed a contract for decades.
As for other teams, such as the Toyota Center for the Rockets, the AT&T Center for the Spurs, the FedEx Forum for the Grizzlies, and the Pepsi Center for the Tunnels...... All of them were bought out by large corporations, and it is not difficult to see the commercialization and professionalism of the American sports industry.
The University of Berkeley is tucked away in the Bay Area, the most neglected city in the Bay Area, and although it has a small reputation compared to private universities such as Harvard, Yale, and Stanford, it is one of the top public universities.
The development of Silicon Valley is inseparable from Stanford, the University of San Francisco, and Berkeley's contribution.
There are 91 Nobel laureates ranked fourth in the world, 23 Turing Award winners ranked first in the world, and 13 Fields Medal winners ranked fifth. Atom. The father of the bomb, hydrogen. Oppenheimer, the father of the bomb, came from Berkeley, and the 97th element "Berkelium" was also named after Berkeley.
The famous Moore's Law, Gordon Moore, the founding founder of Intel Corporation, Wozniak, Jobs' partner, also came out of here, as well as Smit, the president of the old rival Google.
And Berkeley and the Chinese are still quite related, the first Chinese Nobel Prize in physics, won by Berkeley's Tsung-Dao Lee and Professor Yang Zhenning, and Steven Chu, who also won the award, Qian Yongjian won the Chemistry Prize, but only a few years later.
As for the world-class mathematicians Chern Shiing-shen and Yau Chengtong, chemists Yang Peidong and Li Yuanzhe and other Chinese scientists can occupy a long list, and the first Chinese-American and Asian-American principal in the United States, Tian Changlin, is known as an outstanding educator.
With such a close relationship, coupled with a free and inclusive academic style, they chose to cooperate with the fledgling little ants and jointly established the Ant Academic Alliance.
It's no wonder that Li Ziqiang's kid desperately wanted to squeeze into Berkeley's outstanding alumni list, and after reading the history of the school, he found that this was really a life exchange and couldn't go up, even if Chen Bo gave him the position of president, Berkeley might not blink his eyes, it was all big bulls in the scientific community. Literary scholars like Zhang Ailing, who have intersected with Berkeley, can only be slightly represented among Chinese students, and cannot be included in the official history.
"Mr. Bogno, meet again." As soon as Chen Bo arrived at the door of the Academy of Engineering, he met his old acquaintance, Dean Robert Bogno, and immediately stepped forward to greet him.
"Ha, welcome to Berkeley, a lot of students are waiting for your great presentation right now." Bogno responded enthusiastically, adding: "I am sorry for the incident in the previous paragraph, there are always a small number of people in the United States who are destroying the social order, but you don't feel any unhappiness here." ”
"Of course, as soon as I walked into the school, I felt the wind of academic tolerance." Chen Bo brags that Berkeley is much smaller than Stanford and Penn, and it is also very compact. The tuition fee is cheap, so there are many students, there are big bulls, but there are also many students with ordinary qualifications, after all, there is still a difference between the elite education of public universities and private universities.
As for what he meant by the wind of academic tolerance, he was referring to homeless homeless people on campus recliners.
Today, Chen Bo is facing students from the Department of Computer Science of the School of Engineering, and his major is also the right one. Maybe you can fool a few calves to come to the company to work for him, when it comes to professionalism, he can't compare with the horse, but when it comes to the future development and trend of science and technology, his insights make it difficult for these students to reach.
"It's a great pleasure to be here and share the development of the Internet with everyone." There were about four or five hundred students sitting in Wuyang Wuyang, basically full, and Chen Bo went straight to the point after a simple opening speech. "As we all know, Yahoo has created a new model of the Internet, and it has been 8 years now, and it is still following this bumpy trajectory. Where should the next breakthrough innovation be? Then let's discuss it today! ”
The topic he chose today is the Internet of Things, which is not old, and it has only been a few years since he first put forward this idea, but the progress has been slow. Why? It is subject to the development of the mobile Internet, and it is also subject to the base of Internet users.
Most Internet companies have not yet shaken off the shadow of profitability, and the high level of Internet penetration is only in developed countries, while developing countries are better only in East and Southeast Asia. Because of its large population and large base, Huaxia will form a certain scale, and then it will form a giant in network companies.
Although the population of the United States is small, it has a high penetration rate, a mature market, and a concentration of more scientific and technical talents, so it has played a leading role. Everyone knows that the Internet is the future, but not everyone knows what the Internet of the future will look like and where to start.
The Internet of Things is the next stage of development of the Internet, and the Internet of Everything is not just a casual talk.
A car, a mobile phone, and even a mop and a trash can can be connected to the Internet, which is just a primary form of the Internet of Things.
It's going to generate a huge amount of data, and when you have data for all the industries in the world, it's absolutely amazing. Help you analyze what to eat, what to wear, what to buy, and what to use. As long as you analyze your daily behavior, you can make predictions in advance, and merchants can develop products in a targeted manner, greatly reducing development costs and expenses.
Chen Bo was fooled, telling stories and adding data, and spoke dryly for nearly two hours, of course, he also received countless applause. As for how many people can be reached, it depends on how many cover letters can be received by the mailbox of the company's human resources department.
After saying goodbye to Berkeley, Chen Bo returned to Sunnyvale and began to prepare for the Prime Minister's question.
He didn't go to the East Coast, but Walter did run into a lot of trouble when he led the team, and a large number of Tubert YMCA members gathered at the gates of Harvard University, holding banners and shouting slogans of secession.
Hands-on hitting? Obviously not, the federal police are watching from the sidelines, unless they have some misdeeds. And then the multimedia is staring, once shot, the impact is very great. Not everyone can be like it
These people are like dog skin plasters, from Washington to New York, and then from New York to Harvard, which is tireless. But you don't have a problem with him, the United States pays attention to freedom of speech, as long as it is not an accomplice of 911, whoever likes to make trouble, no one cares.
If you hit him, not only will you be caught, but you will also be put in a big hat. This made Chen Bo, who had been bragged, a lot more uncomfortable, and he couldn't wait to kick them in the past, but he couldn't help but whip them up, but fortunately, this situation was not found near the company.
A convoy of several Lincoln cars rushed into the industrial park, and by looking at the license plates, it was a car from the San Francisco consulate, and one of them must have been the prime minister's car. When the car stopped, the man in black wearing sunglasses and an intercom in his ears took the lead in drilling out of the car to determine whether the scene was safe.
Then a man in a black coat walked down, combing his hair with a parted hairstyle, and said arrogantly to Chen Bo, who was waiting next to him, with a cold face, "What's the matter with you?" Don't even hang a welcome banner! How did this make the reporter who came with him shoot? ”
"I don't know how to make banners, we don't have this experience." Chen Bo replied lightly.
"Then don't hurry up and look for it, and make up another one when you leave."
"If you have a belt, I can hang it up, and the people in the company are busy." Chen Bo hated his face that he thought was superior, so he blocked it directly.
