Silicon Valley

"Billy Church, from Dubai, are you in touch?"

"We've got in touch, let's see the design drawings the day after tomorrow!"

"Great, it's time for us to develop!!!"

"Hahaha, yes, we are about to become the most famous designer in the world!"

"cheers!!!"

"cheers!!!"

From time to time there are smug laughter from the big room of the villa, but sadly, they don't even know that they have caused trouble and offended the most terrible person in the world...

...

...

The next day, Adams arranged for Tom Wright and a few better young designers to fly to the United States.

Henry just came to work at Cisco, and John Chambers came to Henry's office to report on the establishment of the school!

Is it worth spending a billion dollars a year to build schools? In Henry's opinion, it's worth it!

In the first few years, due to the limited number of schools, natural places were also limited. If Cisco employees want to enjoy the free benefits of their children's schooling, they must compete with many employees. Only those who perform well can get this opportunity, which can undoubtedly greatly stimulate the enthusiasm of employees!

However, this is secondary.

The main purpose of Henry's establishment of the school is still the same sentence: brainwashing must start with children! ! !

Henry spent a lot of money to build the school, whether it is the teachers or the learning environment, it will leave people with a very good impression of the school established by Cisco. Naturally, when Cisco builds more schools and recruits students from abroad, will American parents not rush to send their children to the schools established by Cisco?

The more schools there are, the more students there are. Henry can promote his company and products in school, brainwashing them all the time, such as shopping online to Nicholas shopping network is the safest, using ICQ for chat software, watching movies to IMDB theaters, etc., and even later. Henry also wants to set up Facebook. If he promotes it a little in his school, it will become popular right away?

future. The school would become one of Henry's most important propaganda positions.

What's more, the establishment of a school requires relatively high funds at the beginning, and then the expenses. For Cisco, it's a drizzle! Besides, the school is not without means of making a profit. One is to collect money from external enrollment, the other is to provide government assistance, and the third is to donate money from people from all walks of life.

In the United States. It is very common for wealthy people or corporations to donate money to schools.

One is to avoid taxes. The second is for fame.

Henry has so many companies in his name, and if he doesn't find ways to avoid taxes, is it cheaper for the U.S. government? The money donated is used to build schools and expand one's influence. There are too many benefits, I really can't say...

"Chairman, we have established the 'Cisco Education Fund', and the project to build the school is ready and ready to start at any time!" John Chambers handed a document to Henry. Dao said, "At present, 100 sites have been selected all over the United States suitable for building schools, and they have received support from the local government. Here are the specific information on site selection and the budget of each school!"

Henry responded, picked up the document and read it.

After a few minutes, Henry looked up at Chambers and asked, "How do you solve the teacher's problem?"

"Dig people!!!" John Chambers spat out two words.

And Henry after listening to John Chambers' answer. It's really "really agreeable to me", I couldn't help laughing: "Well, the method of poaching people is good!!!"

"In addition to poaching people, we also cooperate with comprehensive education schools. The excellent teachers they train will be given priority to the schools established by our Cisco! Of course, we will donate a sum of money to their schools to show our sincerity!" John Chambers added.

"Money is not the problem, the key is to get talent!"

Henry said, "We at Cisco will also establish a teacher training institution to reserve talents!"

"Understood, I will set up such a training institution!" John Chambers responded.

Henry put the document on the table and said slowly, "The school we built should also have a name..."

"Chairman, I think it's better to call Williams School..." John Chambers glanced at Henry and suggested.

This flattery is very useful. Henry's face unconsciously smiled!

Since American education consists of three stages: primary school, secondary school and higher education, the general organization of schools is a 6-3-3 system, that is, primary schools from the first grade to the sixth grade, and junior high schools from the seventh grade to the ninth grade. , 10th to 12th grades are high school. Therefore, the school Henry wants to build is divided into Williams Primary School (including kindergarten) and Williams Middle School (including junior high school and high school).

As for the university, only one will be established! ! !

What Henry wants to build is a school that can rival the world's top universities such as Harvard, Stanford, and Cambridge. Therefore, it is natural to strive for excellence and focus on building!

So Henry said: "Also, the name of the school is called Williams School, which is divided into Williams Elementary School and Williams Middle School according to grades. Because there are too many schools, schools everywhere are called Williams Elementary School or Williams School. Middle school so-and-so, so that it won't cause the name to be repeated! Finally, as for the establishment of Williams University, there is no rush now. When the time is right, I will design this school myself!!!"

"Hmm!" John Chambers nodded.

"In order for the children of Cisco employees to be grateful to our company, I felt it was necessary to let them know that Cisco provided them with the opportunity to study for free. So I think it is necessary to have the first class every morning. A minute before class, let them pray, thank God, thank Cisco, thank everyone who helps them…”

Henry said with a very subtle smile on his face. This is the first step of brainwashing! Hitler can brainwash the whole of Germany, but he just brainwashed the students in his own school. Compared with him, he is still inferior!

Then, Henry added: "All the schools in Williams School have only vice-principals. As for the position of the principal, I will take over all of them. I think this can strengthen the unified management of the school, which is beneficial to the future development of the school!! !"

John Chambers nods in agreement without doubting him.

Henry thought in his heart that he would have a lot of influence after becoming the principal. Chiang Kai-shek became the principal of the Whampoa Military Academy, and as a result, he became arrogant. A gang of students supported him, literally fighting wherever! ! ! Don't be so arrogant yourself, just thinking. In case one day, on a whim, and want to play as the president of the United States, just climb up and shout, and a group of people across the United States will shout: "Support the principal!!! Support the principal!!!"

In order to completely brainwash the students. Henry felt that in the future, he could get some propaganda slogans in the school, such as "Be proud of the principal, learn from the principal!" This propaganda slogan is justifiable, and he is the richest man. Definitely something to learn from them! And once the slogan says much more. Then you will have a deep sense of worship for yourself, and the brainwashing effect will come out!

"That's it for now!" Henry said to John Chambers.

John Chambers nodded and said goodbye to Henry.

...

...

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Tom Wright arrived in Los Angeles. Henry sent someone to take him to San Jose and temporarily arranged to stay in a hotel. In the future arrangements, let him, the designer, follow the manor site selection team to choose a good manor location for Henry!

As for the Williams Center site, negotiations are currently underway with the local government.

due to the large area. There are more than 2 million square meters. Although it is a little remote, it is at least within the Silicon Valley of California. Therefore, the purchase price of the land is still too high, and it needs 500 million US dollars!

Henry was reluctant to spend $500 million to buy the land, because this land was not a prime location, or to put it bluntly, it was a wilderness. The local government obviously has a nature of extortion, and believes that Henry is a very rich man and has money...

this day. The government sent someone over to talk to Henry again.

Since learning that Henry needs the land to build the headquarters cluster, the local government has been enthusiastic and sent people to Henry's side to negotiate every three days. But in terms of price, they refused to give in at all, it was like a stone in the toilet - stinky and hard! Henry was almost annoyed. This time they came again. Henry decided that he didn't want to talk about it this time. He made a gambling agreement and killed them!

"Hello, Mr. Williams!"

"Hello, San Jose Mayor Brant Barrett!"

The middle-aged man in a neat suit in front of Henry is the mayor of San Jose. He is over 1.9 meters tall and has a very gentlemanly manner. However, it is said that he once played NBA basketball! Henry invited him to his office and told his secretary to make Brant Barrett a cup of coffee.

"Mayor Barrett, no one seems to be buying that land except me right now. Why can't you be cheaper?"

Brant Barrett smiled, unmoved.

"You know, this piece of land has an area of ​​more than two million square meters and is located in Silicon Valley. It will definitely be developed in the future!" Brant Barrett took a sip of coffee and smiled, "So, five $100 million is not expensive at all!"

"Mayor Barrett, how many years does your so-called development have to wait? Five years? Ten years?" Henry said disdainfully.

Brant Barrett smiled and said carelessly: "Silicon Valley is developing so fast, who knows when it will be here? Maybe five years, maybe three years, maybe next year, it's not necessarily!"

"Mayor Barrett, we're not talking nonsense anymore, just give me the bottom line, can you lower the price?!"

"Of course the price can go down, but..."

"Don't but, just say how much you can drop!!!" Henry waved his hand directly and interrupted.

Brant Barrett couldn't help but hesitate when he saw the expression on Henry's face that you slap and break up without lowering the price. If the land is not sold to Henry, there is really no other buyer. Because it is too far away from the city, if it is developed, it will cost a huge amount of money, and the risk is too great. If it is messed up, it will be lost! ! !

Seeing that Brant Barrett did not speak, Henry said lightly: "Maybe, I should find a new place to build the Williams Center!"

When Brant Barrett heard this, his heart tightened, his expression was serious, as if he had made a major decision, he gritted his teeth and said, "400 million dollars, absolutely cannot be less!!!"

Henry shook his head, "It's still too expensive! Well, how about we gamble?"

"Gambling?" Brant Barrett was stunned for a moment, then he came to his senses. He was no stranger to gambling agreements in Silicon Valley. Countless startup companies will sign a gambling agreement with investment companies, so that both parties can compromise!

"How do you want to bet?" Brant Barrett asked.

Henry smiled and said, "It's very simple. I bet that as long as I win that piece of land, the prices of all the surrounding land will increase wildly. After half a year, the price of the land will be at least five times the original price!"

talking. Henry looked at Brant Barrett playfully and said lightly: "In half a year, if the price of the surrounding land is as I said. It increases five times the original price, then you will sell it to me for $300 million; otherwise, I'll buy you that land for $500 million!!!"

Brant Barrett heard this. His eyes lit up, and it sounded like it was beneficial to his side no matter what, especially when the surrounding land prices rose five times, the government side could make more money! After a little thought, Brant Barrett said, "This matter. I'll go back and discuss it with everyone. I'll let you know later!"

Henry smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll wait for your decision!"

Henry does not scare Brant Barrett with a tough attitude. The sly Brant Barrett is definitely not willing to agree to bet, what is he doing with gambling, anyway, the land can be sold for 500 million US dollars, and the surrounding land prices can also be rise……

Brant Barrett returned to the government, held a meeting to vote and discussed it, and more than one vote agreed to the gambling agreement.

Then, Brant Barrett called Henry.

"Mr. Williams. After voting and discussion, we have decided to accept your gambling agreement!"

Henry had expected that Barrett and the others would most likely agree to the gambling agreement. He was already mentally prepared at this moment, so he naturally didn't appear surprised, and said lightly, "Okay, then I'll go over and sign with you now!"

"it is good!!!"

Hanging up the phone, Henry stood up and was about to go to San Jose City Hall. Twenty minutes later, Henry came to the door of the city hall! At this time. Brant Barrett and others have already greeted them.

Henry exchanged a few words with them, and then walked into the building under the leadership of Mayor Barrett. Then came to the living room, Brant Barrett took out the agreement for Henry to see, Henry checked it carefully, and after thinking that there was no problem, he signed a gambling agreement with San Jose!

After signing the agreement, Henry smiled and said, "Hehe, I think it won't take long before you guys will be shocked!!!"

After speaking, Henry turned and left.

Back at the company, Henry wrote a mass email to all the companies in his name, detailing the Williams Center concept, and ordered them to cooperate with Henry's next move in the future! ! !

The next day, Henry held a press conference in his own name.

For a time, reporters gathered.

At the press conference, Henry was dressed in a suit and dressed very maturely and prudently. He walked slowly to the stage, and suddenly, the flashing lights flashed wildly, and a group of reporters under the stage were inexplicably excited, shouting Henry's name and wanting to ask him questions!

Henry ignored it, just raised his hand slightly and made a quiet gesture.

When the reporters saw the gesture, they immediately became quiet and made eye contact with each other: "Get ready, Henry is going to speak again! I don't know what news will shock the world this time?!!!"

The reporters' ears have been pricked up, they are holding a notepad in their left hand and a pen in their right hand. They are fully prepared!

Henry was on stage, and seeing them like this made him laugh and cry!

"Cough cough..." Henry just cleared his throat, but saw a reporter's right hand subconsciously move two strokes under the stage.

Henry was speechless for a while, this can be forgotten...

After correcting the microphone, Henry said, "Today's press conference will be held, and I will only say a word or two!"

As soon as Henry finished saying this, the audience was restless, but immediately everyone looked at Henry intently, ready to listen to what he was going to say!

Henry said loudly: "There is a Rockefeller Center in New York, and from now on, there is a Williams Center in Silicon Valley. I will build a Williams Center in an area of ​​2 million square meters west of San Jose, making it the heart of Silicon Valley! !!"

"That's it, thank you all for attending the press conference!"

"I announce that the press conference is over!"

After speaking, Henry walked off the stage. The reporters wanted to ask questions, but were stopped by bodyguards.

"Mr. Henry Williams' press conference was the shortest I've ever seen!!!"

"Hehe, short and powerful! This time it's another big news, you say, is Rockefeller Center awesome? Of course it's awesome, but with Henry Williams's handwriting, its Williams Center can be worse than Rockefeller Center. ?"

"Oh, yes, I'm already looking forward to the completion of Williams Center, how much better it will be than Rockefeller Center!!!"

The next day, news about the Williams Center was on the front pages of all newspapers in the United States. Major TV stations discussed the matter one after another. Numerous experts and professors showed up to explain. There was already a lot of discussion on the Internet. Many netizens jokingly called "Henry Williams". In the 'local tyrant' again!!!".

Major real estate companies in the United States have moved, paying particular attention to the location of the Williams Center.

For a time, the price of land near the site of the Williams Center rose wildly! However, despite the price increase, it is extremely limited, only doubled!

However, the next series of press conferences shocked the entire United States! ! !

Cisco held a press conference to announce: "Cisco announced that the company will move into the Williams Center, its Cisco MCI company will move into the Williams Center, its Qualcomm company will move into the Williams Center, and Qualcomm's ARM company will move into the Williams Center. Will be moving into Williams Center!!!”

The Nicholas Group Corporation held a press conference to announce: "The Nicholas Group Corporation announced that the company will move into the Williams Center, its Nicholas Shopping Network will move into the Williams Center, its Nicholas Express Company will move into the Williams Center, and its IMDB subsidiary will move into the Williams Center. Holding Group will move into Williams Center and PayPal will move into Williams Center!!!”

"Global Online Corporation is pleased to announce that the company will be moving into the Williams Center!"

"Isearch Corporation announces that it will move to Williams Center!!"

"ICQ announced that the company will move to the Williams Center, and its Tiantian Music Company will move to the Williams Center!"

"The Williams Lab will move to the Williams Center, and its Silicon Valley Electronics Group will move to the Williams Center!"

"360 Holdings Group announced that the company will move to Williams Center!"

"Firefly Games announces that the company will be moving into the Williams Center!"

"Amgen Biopharmaceuticals Announces the Company's Move to the Williams Center!"

"..."

One after another, companies held press conferences, and the entire United States was stunned. What happened! ! ! Are you crazy! ! ! ! ! (PS: ask for support)
