Chapter 189: Eight Rebellious Escapes
Here, CPT and IBM are fighting each other, and the clouds are up and down, which is really a good show.
Far away in Silicon Valley, south of San Francisco Bay in the back of California, USA, a blockbuster of grievances and hatred was also staged.
The eight young men who had originally admired the name of the "father of transistors" gradually turned against him, and the closer they got to Dr. Shockley, the more they could see the flaws in the doctor.
Shockley himself was an attractive mentor to talented young people, but it was difficult for them to work with him.
Although Shockley was ambitious, he knew nothing about management, and often commanded the production of the laboratory in a mess. What's worse is that the doctor still doesn't listen to the well-meaning advice of others, believing that his approach is absolutely correct.
In the first year, because Shockley won the Nobel Prize in Physics, in the face of great honors, he suppressed some unconvincing ideas in the laboratory. But in the next year, the lab still couldn't get a product. The only thing to boast about is that they made a batch of transistors for SCC's satellites, but this was only made under Alex's detailed instructions.
These transistors do not have a big breakthrough in performance, the key is that they are small, lightweight, and durable. Except for satellites, such high-cost transistors are not used in other places to make electronic products.
Crucially, the patents for these transistors do not belong to Shockley Labs, but to CPT. It's all Alex who came up with the idea and then asked the CPT engineers to design it. The specific manufacturing was left to the Shockley Laboratory.
In short, Shockley disappointed these youths, utterly disappointed. Seven of the eight youths got together secretly, and they talked privately about the idea of leaving the lab.
"I've had enough!" Sheldon? Roberts shouted, and he said, "If I don't leave, I'm going to rot here for the rest of my life." ”
Got Gordon right away with such words? Moore, Giulias? Blanco, Eugene? Claire and the others agreed, and they also felt that it would be useless to continue to stay.
Among them, Moore said with some annoyance: "The old man doesn't listen to people's advice, but he still thinks that he is very right!" We get up early all day and are busy to death, but it turns out that all his efforts are in vain because of his words. ”
The old man was referring to Shockley. But this kind of thing can only be said in private. They still have to be respectful to Cheng Xiaokeli as a doctor in person. Otherwise they will be put in small shoes.
When Dr. Shockley led them to research, they often had an idea at the moment, and the good ideas could not be adhered to, but the ideas that persisted were all wrong and outrageous. Eight young men looked in the eyes. Anxious. Suggestions are constantly being dismissed. After the end, everyone will not say anything if they are wrong. One can only hope that Shockley will find out for himself.
"Well, I thought the Doctor could see the error, but he didn't see it. Turn a deaf ear to. After doing it for so long, I still think I'm right, and I don't know what to say. "Sheldon? Roberts also said helplessly.
"Come on! Don't talk about it, we came together today to discuss a solution. Viktor Grinik said.
"What are you discussing! If you want me to say just leave the lab, the old man doesn't care about our opinions anyway. "Kim? Herney immediately shouted.
They had discussed the topic many times, but they also knew that the Doctor actually valued them very much. If they didn't say a word and turned away, they would probably be pierced in the back by Shockley.
"Actually, it doesn't matter what the doctor thinks, the important thing is that we must have a place to go when we leave the lab." Eugene? Claire took a sip of her wine and spoke slowly.
"Uh-huh! That's it! Didn't we go all the way to the doctor just to get ahead? Now that so many years have passed and nothing has been accomplished, we have to think carefully about what to do next. I don't want to spend any more time, life is too short to waste. "Jay? Ruskey said yes, he felt that he had lost too much in the past few years. Time was wasted, but nothing was achieved.
Moore hesitated for a moment, but was soon noticed by the others, and someone said, "Brother Moore, do you have any way to go?" Say it to everyone, if there is a good place to go, we will definitely look forward to it for you. ”
"That's right," Moore explained, "do you remember that Alex?" ”
"Alex? Remember! I heard that he is a cow now, and he appears in the headlines all day long. New book signings, concerts, kidnappings, etc., you can see his news. ”
"What's even more exaggerated is that he also has a company called SCC in his hands, which launches rocket satellites, which is much more advanced than the Soviet one."
"I've heard recently that he has something to do with that Cray I-type computer, and he's a genius all in all!"
"I also heard that he invented the bipolar transistor, so wouldn't he have to share half of the Nobel Prize for the doctor?"
Everyone has said a word to me, talking about the legend of this legend, the genius of genius. At first, the news was like fiction to them, and they probably didn't believe it. By now, they are all skeptical, after all, this has been published in many newspapers, so there must be some of it true.
"Don't talk so much nonsense, listen to what Moore has to say, there is a way to come out quickly. If this continues, everyone's future will be delayed. Someone interrupted the gossip and told Moore to hurry up and get to the point.
Moore touched his head, and then said slowly, "I had contact with Alex with Noyce last time, and he had something to say, as if he expected that we would leave the laboratory and find another way out. He said that if he had any ideas, he could reach out to him. ”
As soon as he said this, he immediately caused other exclamations, and they all said, "Oh, it seems to be the case." He said something similar to me at the time. ”
"yes, he left me a business card. It's a pity that I don't know where to throw it. ”
"At that time, who knew that he was really so good, I thought he was a person with the same name and surname."
"Even Zhilu Dao will be suspicious, the newspaper is too outrageous, if it is really like that, we can't compare to him alone."
"Without further ado, which of you still has his business card in his hand? Hurry up and take it out, we'll call him and talk about it. ”
This move was stopped by Moore, who hurriedly said, "Don't! Don't be in such a hurry. We're missing a man. ”
The missing man was Noyce, and among them, Noyce was the most capable of leadership. They thought that if they were to leave the lab and start anew, they would have to pull in Noyce.
However, Noyce is also more valued by Dr. Shockley, and they are very uncertain about whether they can say that Noyce can "defect" together. Either way, they eventually decided to talk to Noyce. Unexpectedly, after talking about it, I realized that Neuss had already sprouted an "outer heart".
Noyce had been looking for an opportunity to leave Dr. Shockley and leave the lab with no future. In his opinion, Shockley may be okay as an R&D worker, but as a leader, it will be a disaster.
Realizing that they all had the same ideas, the eight young men decided to submit their resignations without further ado. Originally, they wanted to contact Alex first, but they were stopped by Noyce.
"Don't do it! If you had contacted Alex first, it would have been a difficult task. "Noyce thought deeply, and thought that Alex and Dr. Shockley had a good relationship, and if he had talked to Alex before leaving the lab, he might not have taken them in for the sake of face.
If something like this happens, the news that they are leaving will leak out, and Shockley may go berserk, which will likely cause them to be unable to move an inch in the future.
Moore also agreed with Noyce, saying, "Alex should have taken care of it, otherwise he would have made it clear to us a long time ago." At the beginning, he just handed us the business card and did not talk about it in depth, just for fear of such a situation. When the time comes, it will be difficult for everyone to do it, and we will also lose a way. ”
After everyone agreed, the resignation letter was quickly handed over to Shockley. Seeing this, Shockley was furious, and he pointed to the eight young men and said, "You are simply a bunch of traitors! Traitor! ”
The eight youths were silent, neither refuting nor excusing themselves.
Shockley continued to scold: "I don't want to think about who taught you so many things in the first place, who brought you into this circle. Traitor! Shameful traitor! ”
"I really didn't expect it, I didn't expect that the people who worked so hard to teach would betray me! Do you feel that your wings are stiff? I think I can be on my own, so that's why I betrayed me? ”
Shockley nagged, especially at Noyce, the man he had always been heavy on. He pointed to Noyce's nose and was furious. After a wild scolding, the eight young men looked at each other, but they still left their "Bole" without hesitation.
This betrayal caused a great sensation in certain circles, and many people knew that the eight young men had defected to Shockley in the first place. Shockley is also often proud of it, showing it off to others. What I didn't expect was that one day earlier, these glories would turn into a resounding slap in the face.
This slap in the face was very eye-catching, and Shockley publicly denounced the eight young people as the "eight rebels" on many occasions. In his view, betrayal is an unforgivable crime that leads to hell.
What made him even more unacceptable was that the "eight rebellions" immediately attracted investment and started anew. This investor is none other than Alex, who is also his investor! (To be continued......)
