Chapter 359: Crazy Silicon Valley One Resident
Edward's only request as a boss is to bite Stanford to death!
He earnestly admonished his West Coast No. 001 employee: "Joel, you have to understand, who is our opponent this time? Principal Lehman and Stanford behind him, we are like shepherd boys wielding catapults to face the giant Goliath. But unfortunately, there are no myths in the real world, even if justice is on our side! But the goddess of justice is blindfolded......"
Joel was very excited: "Boss, I must be dedicated!" ”
"Well, I believe in your legal literacy, and I believe in your personal moral standards and professional ethics, and you will be a good lawyer. But as a senior, I'm going to teach you a little bit of life experience, or my own tips for fighting lawsuits......"
Although the age difference is only one year, Edward is really qualified to say this, after all, he is a ruthless person who has passed through the state superior court, the federal circuit, and the federal Supreme Court, and in fact, he has inadvertently created a record in the judicial world:
The youngest lawyer ever to clear the level, and win them all!
This caused an uproar in the judiciary and the press, knowing that as the United States grew larger and more cumbersome, the judiciary became a sea of provisions, and the days of young lawyers making a splash were long gone.
In fact, in the 18th and 19th centuries, because everything was just emerging, the whole country was in the process of rapid construction and development, and the judicial construction was seriously backward in social development, and the laws in this period were very imperfect.
If a lawyer is smart enough or even cunning, he can exploit the loopholes to protect his client's legitimate or illegal interests.
This was the golden age of lonely heroes of lawyers and prosecutors, and countless ancestors relied on their wisdom and courage to stand out from their peers, earn great wealth and build their own judicial empire.
One of the best...... Ahem, it was the beloved President Lincoln, and in the records of the United States, the young Lincoln lawyer was known for his wit and eloquence.
This translates to cunning and quibbling......
Of course, everyone should have a good word about the Father-to-be.
Ahem, it is also in the far south, such as Alabama, that the locals will tell all kinds of "Lincoln jokes" when they drink too much, and the content sounds absurd, but if you think about it carefully, you can still find some black history of grass snake gray lines......
How did Edward know? Of course, Chris said it after he had eaten a lot of wine......
However, the country is still developing rapidly, and the speed of judicial construction is also accelerating, which is an explicit statement, but in fact, the vast number of scholars have been staking their ground in the judicial field through their continuous efforts for more than 100 years.
Each major law firm has its own area of justice, and the legal authority in this area is usually the senior partner of the law firm.
Under the American system, a good law professor is very "free".
When he is tired, he can hide in the best law schools to teach and educate people, and vigorously develop the basic personnel of his school.
When he has rested enough, he can choose a suitable time to go out into politics, at which time it is usually the candidate of his party who becomes president, then the professor can enter the judiciary as a national lawyer, or be in charge of professional judicial deliberations; can go to the Federal Circuit Court to serve as a judge; You can go and work as a federal prosecutor.
If you are in the opposition at this time, you can go to a state controlled by your party and become a high court judge or district attorney.
Or simply become the personal legal counsel of a certain political tycoon;
If his authority is sufficient, he can even create a consulting body that sells research reports to the government on the one hand, and becomes a good lobbyist for legislative repeal on the other.
Even better, whether he is tired or diligent, it does not prevent him from becoming a partner in a big law firm and getting paid handsomely in the judicial market.
In this case, it is becoming more and more difficult for young people to get ahead!
Joel, knows all this too well.
That's why I have to cut corners.
Edward also knows his thoughts, and his only worry is that he is afraid that this guy will prove himself too much, and he will be in a hurry to make crooked ways, and if the other party catches the loophole, then the lawsuit will be over.
And Edward's bottom line is that in eight years, this lawsuit will have to be fought for at least eight years!
But he couldn't say this to Qiao Erming, after all, everyone had only been together for a few months, and they didn't know each other well enough.
When Edward gave Joel this "great" task, he immediately knew his chance had come!
It's a test!
Edward continued: "My experience is that don't rush to succeed, let's face it, our opponents are too strong. Therefore, the lawsuit is not in a hurry, and it will be fought slowly day by day, step by step, to lay a solid foundation. We'd rather have nothing to accomplish than be caught by the other party because we're in a hurry! Got it! Not only do we pursue a just outcome, but this process is also a best practice for upholding the dignity of the United States Constitution! ”
To this, Joel nodded.
As for whether he really wants to defend the dignity of the Constitution and the constitutional concept of the founding sages at all costs, or whether he tacitly fights this lawsuit slowly, slowly, slowly, slowly, Edward doesn't care, and he doesn't bother to care.
Because it doesn't matter to him.
If Joel is the former, then it's good, it means that he's a man of faith, and if it's the latter, it's not bad, proving that this guy is clever enough.
Edward's mindset has changed unconsciously, which is the perspective and method of the superior to view his subordinates.
There is no need to know the moral character of this subordinate, just to see whether he is capable of solving problems.
Poor moral character is not a problem at all in the workplace, as long as you have enough carrots and sticks in your hands.
What's more, the guy with bad moral character is usually not stupid, especially for his own interests, so as long as the boss can continue to meet his interests and needs, he can keep calling him.
As for the backlash......
Frankly, it's a bit early to think about it.
But after experiencing the Bergman incident, Edward can be regarded as seeing it, and it seems to be a good choice to solve the problem once and for all through violence.
As long as you do things cleanly, then everyone will have the right to act as if nothing happened......
Bergman has made many people eat round, including himself.
With these things in order, he began to devote himself to his research, and at the same time asked Joel to bring all the newspapers and magazines concerning Professor Shockley.
This was the "task" assigned to him by Principal Lyman in front of Solomon.
To be honest, it seems a bit tricky, but since these two big names have made a deal, then there is obviously no need for the headmaster to pit himself as a small person, especially if he was brought to visit by Solomon.
Therefore, it is possible to believe Principal Lehman's words, this is a good deal for both parties.
After reading the information, Edward covered his face with his hands, which was the same as Principal Lyman's touch that day, and it was obvious that he understood the other party's mood at that time - it was indeed better to have three more Franklins than this Shockley.
The point is that Franklin's words and deeds are like a clown, but at least wrapped in the brilliance of idealism, that is, although the status disparity between Principal Lehman and Franklin is huge, it is a close battle, which can be understood as capitalism vs. shrew.
The battle of righteousness and righteousness still sounds like a thing.
And Professor Shockley's story is full of real comedy style, and it is not good to say that Shockley successfully forced the IQ of all his opponents to the same level as him, and then defeated them with rich experience.
It stands to reason that the Nobel laureate in physics must have no problem with his intelligence, but the reality is so weird.
The first and second half of Shockley's life seem to be like corpses in a corpse shredding case...... It looks like they're connected, but they're all separate - they can be forcibly put together, but that's probably not as pleasing as the corpse pieces look good.
William Shockley, born in England, immigrated to California at the age of three with his father, who was a mining engineer.
He then grew up in California and was admitted to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he studied solid state physics, and eventually got a doctorate and stayed on to teach.
The famous Bell Labs went to MIT to poach people.
After the end of World War II, Bell Labs began working on a new generation of electron tubes, a project that was entrusted to Shockley.
He lived up to the hype and invented the transistor with two colleagues, Walter Brandan and John Bardeen.
This can be said to be an epoch-making great invention, and the emergence of the transistor allowed the United States to greatly surpass its old rival Soviet Union in terms of electronic equipment.
While the MiG-17's fire control radar could only perform simple ranging aiming, the North American Air Defense Command's F-106 fighters were already able to perform almost all tactical maneuvers under ground control...... This is all the rich remuneration brought by the generation difference of electronic technology!
For this, the Shockley trio shared the 1956 Nobel Prize in Physics.
He then resigned from Bell Labs and returned to California to start his own business, recruiting young talent from all over the country, most notably eight of them.
They are all PhDs, and their performance in their respective fields far exceeds their peers, and they can almost be said to be leaders.
When these people gathered, the Santa Clara Valley began a massive electronics industry, hence the name Silicon Valley.
Therefore, it is realistic that he is called the No. 1 resident of Silicon Valley, and Santa Clara Valley can develop without Shockley backed by Stanford, but Shockley's presence has greatly accelerated the process of all this.
Of course, because of his brutal style, these young people later left en masse to found Fairchild Semiconductor, and then founded Intel......
Shockley was devastated, emptied all his shares, and entered Stanford.
Stanford was certainly ecstatic to have such a big man on board......
As a result, he lost his career and switched to genetics experiments.
The result of the experiment was naturally black rather than white.
However, in the field of genetics and biology, Stanford is also a great man, and they naturally look down on a half-baked guy who has no clear mentorship, even if he was once a Nobel Prize winner, especially when learning of his theories that are inexplicably full of the results of various anti-scientific experiments.
Almost all the professionals laughed at him......
The only person who can speak a common language with him is probably in New York, the director of the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory - James Watson, who won the Nobel Prize for "discovering" DNA.
In the United States, where biology is extremely developed, there are only two big guys, one east and one west, singing and harmonizing with each other, which looks quite miserable.
Shockley's arguments began to be published intensively mainly in the late '60s, which coincided with the height of the leftist student movement.
At the heart of the student movement is equality!
Shockley is good, blatantly defying the world's condemnation!
This FXXK's got it back?!
The young students immediately demanded that Shockley's article be censored and redacted and that the university prohibit him from making bizarre statements publicly.
Among the top jumpers were Franklin and Paul Rust.
Under their leadership, Shockley's genetics and biology class—which is nothing short of evil—and I don't know what Principal Lyman thinks about allowing him to start the class, which is often interrupted and blocked.
Even his own stunt, the course of solid-state physics, was also affected by the pond fish, and was mischievous by the revolutionary masses in various revolutionary ways every third and fifth days.
However, instead of accepting the school motto, Shockley intensified it, and the startling graduate student course "Dechemistry: New Research Methods in the Genetics of Human Behavior and Racial Differences" was born.
To be honest, this topic is extremely politically incorrect at first glance, and it is full of the style of shooting arrows first and then drawing targets.
In this regard, the "Victory" organization immediately quit!
Franklin contacted several other activist groups at the time to publicly state: "This kind of curriculum should not be allowed to spread on the Stanford campus!" Absolutely not allowed! We will do whatever it takes to do so! ”
This question was a headache for Principal Lehmann.
Because Shockley's course and Franklin's incitement are two completely different things, the latter can be reduced to incitement to violence, while the former can be considered academic freedom from a certain point of view.
The academic atmosphere in private universities is good, allowing for all sorts of bizarre ideas that may be wrong, and even in the discipline, but in the process of fighting them, they are very rewarding.
In the words of one politician, the weird talk in college is like a vaccine, because it strengthens people's resistance to bad ideas and speech, and that's very high.
But it will be troublesome to implement.
Marxist-Leninist courses are of course allowed in universities, and even in the war academies of some universities there are special guerrilla warfare dismantlings, which can be classified as academic freedom.
It's just that...... Blatant claims that blacks are intellectually inferior...... This is indeed a bit excessive...... It's just throwing JFK and President Johnson's civil rights movement on the ground and rubbing it.
If it were at a university in New York, Shockley would probably have been smashed on the head, but the Republican Party in California is relatively conservative and there are not so many revolutionary masses.
In addition, President Lehman had gone to great lengths to protect Shockley, partly because of the reputation he could bring to Stanford, and partly because the university had always been tolerant of bizarre theories......
Although Shockley was scolded as a dog, he did not suffer any substantial harm.
