However, Zhang Zhonghua has not considered how much land he needs until now, and the area of Silicon Valley in the traditional sense is really not large, in fact, land is also very cheap now, Zhang Zhonghua is willing to buy a large piece of land casually.

But he considered that if the circle was too big, it might affect the development of Silicon Valley, and he was a little unwilling to make the enclosure small, because the ugly country is private ownership, and private property is sacrosanct.

The salary of ordinary workers in Chouguo has exceeded 300 US dollars, while college graduates basically start at 500 US dollars when they work in companies, and computer talents start at 800 US dollars.

Compared with the salary of London's ugly country, the ugly country is not very high, but there is only one London in the world, although the sun does not set, but the afterglow is still there, there are few areas in the world where the average salary is higher than London, of course, New York is much higher than London.

"I plan to acquire 1,000 acres of land in Santa Clara and plan to invest a total of $50 million to set up a corporate headquarters.

And my company has now reached a new partnership with IBM and will invest more in Santa Clara County in the future. ”

Zhang Zhonghua simply introduced to Rudy Hoffman, you don't understand the specific content, in short, you can understand one thing, I have money, I want to invest, and it is 50 million US dollars in Santa Clara enclosure.

1,000 acres of land is not too big, not too small, and the office buildings, test sites, and factories built are all the highest three floors, and there are no companies with more than five floors in Silicon Valley.

Rudy Hoffman was very excited by Zhang Zhonghua's magnanimity, not to mention the 1,000 land purchase money, just the new company will have to pay taxes in Santa Clara in the future, and there is another large company under his rule.

He decided in his heart that he must meet Zhang Zhonghua's request to provide convenience, and he must not let the 50 million investment run away.

"No problem, Santa Clara still has a lot of large areas of land, does Mr. Zhang Zhonghua have a fancy for it?"

Rudy Hoffman asked.

"Well, it's over there at Redwood Beach, I've found someone to inspect this side, and it's still an orchard over there, so it's relatively easy to take the land over there."

Redwood Beach is the future Oracle headquarters, opposite Intel's headquarters, and now has its own YH database, so there is no need for this Oracle to appear in the future.

After almost ten years, computer chips and memory have almost developed, and then YH Software can develop the second generation of databases, and then it can continue to develop new software, making YH a software giant.

However, in a short period of time, Zhang Zhonghua has no intention of entering the computer hardware industry, which is the core industry of the ugly country, Zhang Zhonghua will not challenge the core industry of the ugly country in the ugly country, even if the development of computers will only be placed on Hong Kong Island.

If you want to enter the computer hardware industry in an ugly country, you will need to wait a few years.

Later, Toshiba's semiconductor industry's memory, chips, lithography machines, etc., in many aspects, beat the technology companies of the ugly country, but it was not forced to dissolve in 1986, and the ugly country at the end of the 20th century was so domineering.

"Redwood Beach is indeed a good fit, and our county government will help you get that orchard.

Santa Clara has the Stanford Research Park, which can temporarily provide office space, and the company can move directly to it after it is built.

We in Santa Clara will provide you with enough convenience to build a company and factory as soon as possible. ”

Rudy Hoffman readily agreed.

"Okay, then thanks to County Magistrate Rudy Hoffman, how much money will be needed to buy the land where the orchard is located?"

Zhang Zhonghua chatted with Santa Clara County Governor Rudy Hoffman for an hour and then left, leaving only a $11 million Swiss bank check, Xiao Zai didn't care, he had to give Santa Clara County a little benefit.

Finally enclosed a piece of land here in Silicon Valley, compared to the future companies that came out of workshops and garages, the start is worlds apart.

After Zhang Zhonghua left the Santa Clara County government with security, he drove to the industrial park of Stanford University, where he had to find an office location and set up YH Software first.

It would be too late to wait until after the launch of the ix system to find an office location, and now it is time to start training the relevant personnel, and it will take at least two or three months to learn the new computer language.

Stanford University is located in Palo Alto in the southern part of the San Francisco Bay Area, and Stanford University's industrial park is in Palo Alto, which is about ten minutes away by car.

"Boss, it's not a big place, surrounded by mountains on both sides, it looks like a valley."

Zhang Long said.

"It's really not a big place, but the environment here is still relatively good, and the mountains to the west just block typhoons from the Pacific Ocean, which is very suitable for human habitation."

Zhang Long is right, this is a valley, and the name of Silicon Valley was first proposed in 1971.

Traditionally, Silicon Valley initially consisted only of the Santa Clara Valley, mainly located in Santa Clara County in the southern part of the San Francisco Bay Area, including a 25-mile stretch of valley from Palo Alto City to San Jose, the county capital.

Since then, it has gradually expanded to include Santa Clara County, parts of San Mateo County in the Southwest San Francisco Bay Area, and parts of Alameda County in the East San Francisco Bay Area.

Of course, Silicon Valley is not an administrative division and place name, and you can't find a place named Silicon Valley on the map.

To say that it is Stanford Industrial Area is to say that it is Stanford University.

In the late forties, Stanford University was faced with a major problem: the university was too big and the land was not used to make the land profitable, so that the income could be used to hire some world-class professors, enhance the academic prestige of the university, and move forward to become a world-class university.

However, there was a rule that the donated land could not be sold at all. Fred Terman and Chancellor Sterling agreed to use Stanford's land to establish a high-tech industrial zone that combines industry and academia.

In 1951, under his instigation, Stanford University set aside about 579 acres of campus land near Palo Alto to establish the Stanford Industrial Park, which built research institutes, laboratories, office buildings, etc.

The world's first university industrial estate was born, making money by leasing land to Stanford University.

Stanford University Industrial Park, there are many small companies in the park, and HP also came out of here back then, which led to the development of the park.

Every year, countless young people with dreams come to the park to start their own businesses, and they all hope to become a Fortune 500 company like HP, after all, who doesn't aspire to become a billionaire?

Zhang Zhonghua came to the office center of the industrial park and met the head of the park, Stanford University, in charge of the Stanford Industrial Zone.

This time, he did not meet Fred Termman, the father of the electronic revolution and the father of Silicon Valley, Zhang Zhonghua still has a little regret.

"Hello professor, I'm Zhang Zhonghua, and I want to rent an office in the Stanford campus."

Zhang Zhonghua said politely.

"Hello Zhang Zhonghua, welcome to the Stanford University campus, not to mention yours, database software. Now we at Stanford are using your YH database and teaching materials. It is our pleasure to rent an office in the Stanford Industrial Park, so how much office space do you need? ”

Zhang Zhonghua is now a super-rich man, he should have a temporary office here, and the company can't be built in half a year.

Moreover, if Zhang Zhonghua's company is set up here, it should attract many professors and graduate students from nearby universities, and it is also a matter of pride for computer science students and professors to be able to participate in the development and maintenance of databases.

"The office doesn't need to be too big, it can meet the needs of 500 employees, I developed a server system, and by the way, I also developed a computer language that requires a lot of talents to maintain."

Zhang Zhonghua introduced the nature of the company, and briefly said that IBM cooperation is a must, although his name is still very easy to use, but it is far from IBM's name is very easy to use, IBM is a super giant.

After listening to Zhang Zhonghua's words, the person in charge was deeply shocked, and developed a banking system for his own bank, but found that the current computer language and system were not good, so he invented the ix system, which is simply a living hell.

The person in charge of the Stanford Industrial Park was amazed by Zhang Zhonghua, and he felt that Zhang Zhonghua was a god born for computer programs.

Now there is another computer language in the world, and various computer languages seem to be a bit too much, but there have been a lot of computer languages in recent years.

Computer science students, it is estimated that one more course is going to be added, what a group of poor children.

"Of course, that's fine, Stanford Industrial Park has everything you need, and there are a lot of independent three-storey buildings in the park that meet your requirements.

It is very convenient to support related facilities, and there are sales offices for various office super products nearby, which can purchase most of the equipment required by the company.

Mr. Zhang Zhonghua, let me take you to choose an office first......"

The person in charge introduced to Zhang Zhonghua the supporting facilities of the park, all major brand computer companies have specialty stores, not to mention printers and the like, and even Lou's desks and chairs are sold.

The words of the person in charge who can buy most of the equipment are obviously modest.

Zhang Zhonghua followed the person in charge to turn around in the park, and the Stanford Industrial Park was similar to the later Internet Industrial Park, which was non-standard and convenient, and there were not too many procedures.

In the end, Zhang Zhonghua chose a three-story company, with an office area of about 2,500 square meters, and 500 people are enough to meet the demand, of course, the rent is not expensive or cheap.

Zhang Zhonghua finalized the affairs of the office, and walked around the park, and there were many places to eat in cafes and restaurants.

At noon, Zhang Zhonghua also walked into the knife seller restaurant with a group of people, which was the first time he returned to this era and came to the ugly country for so long.

There are not many foods provided by the current knife labor restaurants, all of which are common French fries, fish sandwiches, Big Macs, hot apple pies, etc., and of course, the knife workers have also copied a lot of CFC snacks.

Nowadays, the burger restaurants in the ugly country mainly include Burger Chef, Burger King, KFC, etc., and the stores are about 150 to 200, and the decoration speed cannot keep up with the authorized franchise stores;

It is estimated that it will be able to cover the whole ugly country in the next two years, and then enter the European and Dongying markets, and begin to work one-on-one with CFC.

However, according to the results of Zhang Zhonghua's arranger survey, although the turnover and profit of a single store selling knife labor restaurants are also quite a lot, they are still far less than those in Dongying and the United Kingdom.

After all, the territory of the ugly country is too large, and the residents live too scattered, and the number of people covered by each store is limited.

"Boss, this new Big Mac burger that sells knife labor last year is completely plagiarized from our group's Big Mac package!"

As soon as Zhang Long came in, he found the problem, and said to Zhang Zhonghua with some anger.

Zhang Long's words made Zhang Zhonghua very embarrassed, in fact, most of the burgers in the CFC restaurant are the product of the combination of selling knife labor and KFC, which he copied from others.

But now Zhang Zhonghua's CFC has been launched first, that is, selling knife labor to plagiarize him!!

However, CFC restaurants did take the lead in launching a Big Mac set menu in the UK, and there is no patent for this thing, so there is no way to sue at all.

"But McDonald's fish sandwich is too unpalatable, and this hot apple pie is not as delicious as our egg tart, so there is no need to worry about selling knives."

Zhang Zhonghua said with a smile.

After Zhang Zhonghua and everyone had lunch, they came to the IBM store, and the computer development program could not be played, so they had to purchase IBM's industrial machines.

Zhang Zhonghua negotiated with the store manager for half an hour, ordered two IBM 360 system top computers, and purchased some medium-sized and small industrial machines.

The database software is certainly free, and the system costs a lot, but the compression software has to cost money.

"Boss, IBM is too dark, a set of compression software will be sold for $250."

Zhang Long said depressedly.

He felt that this compression software was developed by the boss himself, and now he even had to spend money to buy it.

"A computer has reached 3 million US dollars, and ordinary computers start at 14,000 US dollars, and the compression software is nothing, and the compression software has been sold to IBM, so we will spend money to buy it."

Under Zhang Zhonghua's call, the Jade Emperor Electric Branch in Los Angeles soon sent three administrative staff to help Zhang Zhonghua handle various affairs.

With the help of the three, Zhang Zhonghua, who was busy setting up the company, immediately became a lot easier, and handed over the purchase of office equipment to these three people.

At the same time, IBM engineers came to YH Software to start building the network, and the PDP small computer of DEC company must be connected to the industrial computer to be used, if you only rely on the configuration of PDP-8, it is better not to waste everyone's time.
