Chapter 188
Chapter 189 A skinny camel is bigger than a horse
Song Yang didn't intend to deliberately fool Stanzen, but he had to do it. In the past few years, the scientific research level of Bell Labs has declined sharply. It can be said that the Telephone and Telegraph Group and Lucent Group are not interested in Bell Labs. , It can also be said that the scientific research funds are not enough.
But nothing has been researched, and I am living on my laurels. This is also an out-and-out fact!
The current Bell Labs seems to be caught in a vicious circle. The less funding, the less they can develop anything, the less they can develop anything, and the less willing the sponsors are to invest money. The final result may be that Bell Labs closes down. Daji, this former holy land of scientific research was bought by a real estate agent and built into a villa for sale!
Scientific research is a very metaphysical thing. When countless researchers spend countless funds, they may not be able to develop anything in the end, but sometimes, they may inadvertently develop something that changes the times.
But one thing is certain, when these researchers develop resistance and think that they have been treated unfairly and the things they develop have no meaning, they will definitely not be able to develop anything.
The current Bell Labs has a tendency to fall into this state. The actions of the Telephone and Telegraph Group and the Lucent Group have caused the staff of Bell Labs to resist. Not to mention foreign workers, but basically This place is almost regarded as a nursing home, which is one of the reasons why fewer and fewer things have been developed in recent years.
Song Yang didn't want to invest so much money in Bell Labs, but in the end, he didn't develop a single hair, and all of them were in vain.
So, Song Yang told Stanzen that he came to cooperate with Bell Labs, not like those gangsters who came to Bell Labs to rob things, he came to help Bell Labs restore its glory!
When cutting leeks, you must also pay attention to the method and method. You can't cut it hard. It's okay to cut it once or twice. Cut it every day.
Song Yang cut the leeks of Bell Labs, it can't be called cutting, it can only be said to help Bell Labs, "Dr. Much, but I promise it's only temporary!"
"America Telecom, ICQ, etc. are willing to bear all the costs of cooperation with Bell Labs. In addition, in the future, after the cooperative projects make profits, they will use more than 10% of the profits as Bell Labs' research and development funds, and will not interfere with Bell Labs. use these funds."
Song Yang's words are very clear. Bell Labs must first fatten up the industry in Song Yang's hands. Only then can Song Yang support Bell Labs, provide it with enough research and development funds, and let Bell Labs develop what it wants to develop. !
Stanzen was shocked when he heard Song Yang's words. Regardless of whether Song Yang was fooling him or not, Stanzen hadn't heard of anyone willing to consider Bell Labs' own wishes for many years.
The Telephone and Telegraph Group, Lucent Group, and several other local Bell companies want to know how many new products and technologies Bell Labs has developed, how many patents they have applied for, and how much money these things can make. The rest don't care at all.
Originally, Bell Labs was divided into two parts. One part of the staff researched and developed theories, mainly in physics, chemistry, materials, etc., and they developed the most advanced scientific research theories.
Another part of the experimenters developed new products based on these theories.
This has led to Bell Labs being like a headless chicken. Bell Labs, which was ahead of the times and led the technological trend, didn't know what to develop.
"Bruno Song, isn't it!"
Stanzen looked at Song Yang with a serious face. He also knew that Song Yang might be kidding, but Stanzen had no choice. He could only bet that after Song Yang, he might become the new Bell Labs Investors.
Continuing to follow the Telephone and Telegraph Group and the Lucent Group, Stanzen understood that Bell Labs was really doomed, and with a new owner, maybe Bell Labs still had hope of surviving.
"Scientific research is a very private matter. No one can predict which side the dice rolled by God will hit the ground next time. We all hope that Bell Labs can continue to develop new products and new technologies, but in fact , Bell Labs fails to develop more products every year, I only hope that you can give Bell Labs a little more patience in the future!"
"Also, I want to know, when can I see, Bruno Song, the day you become an investor in Bell Labs?"
Stanzen stared at Song Yang firmly. Stanzen is not good at those crooked ways. It's not that he can't, but he's just too lazy to use it. Right now, Stanzen wants Song Yang to express his position. When will he realize what he said? For all that, Bell Labs will not always give him a free job.
"Within three years, I will let America Telecom, ICQ and other invested companies replace Telephone and Telegraph Group and Lucent Group as the main investors of Bell Labs, and within six years, I will let Bell Labs take back the demolition The separated experimenters and equipment have made Bell Labs a whole again!"
Knowing that if he didn't make a promise to Stanzen today, he might not get the support of Bell Labs at all, so Song Yang could only give an answer.
But this is not fooling around. Within three years, if the industries that Song Yang invested in can be successful, it will be difficult to raise a Bell Labs, but it is not impossible.
If it fails for three years, there is a high probability that it will be a dead end. No matter how much time is given, it will probably be a dead end.
Stanzen was silent for a moment. Three years was just during his tenure as president of Bell Labs, and six years was just the last year of his tenure. Stanzen was going to take a gamble. If during his tenure, If it can completely solve the troubles of Bell Labs and make Bell Labs a whole again, then Stanzen is ready to recite the infamy!
Laughed with a sigh, Stanzen knew that he would be infamous in the future, "Song, I hope, six years later, we can still sit here and talk about Bell Labs!"
"Come with me, I hope Bell Labs has what you want."
Stanzen got up and said to Song Yang, and took Song Yang to the laboratory in the corridor.
"This is Bell Communications Labs. This is Dr. Bastian Clay, the world's best expert in IP, Internet voice, and Internet video. The current global IP standard is Dr. Clay's proposal to let the IEEE Society customized!"
Stanzen brought Song Yang to the communication laboratory first, and he was a top expert in Internet infrastructure. Seeing Bastian Clay, Song Yang understood what it meant to be a skinny camel than a horse When I grow up, I also understand why other companies are always thinking about Bell Labs and trying to evacuate it.
God knows how many good things Bell Labs should have hidden. Anyway, when Song Yang saw Bastian Clay, he wished to poach him to ICQ company. With him, ICQ's voice and video technology , at least three years ahead of other companies!
"Dr. Bastian Clay," Song Yang said to the tall and thin Bastian Clay in front of him, "I think Dr. Stanzen has already told you, I hope American Telecom and ICQ can cooperate with your laboratory to jointly build a communication voice and video laboratory, and the funds will be fully borne by me!"
Bell Labs has a deep foundation in the field of voice and video. As early as the 1960s, it played a videophone. , The so-called mobile phone video calls became completely popular, and this was left over from Bell Labs half a century ago.
Hearing Song Yang's words, Bastian Clay was obviously a little moved. Now that the funding of Bell Labs is tight, Clay's here is also seriously affected, and even other universities and laboratories have asked Bastian Clay for help. Clay extended an olive branch and was willing to build an audio-visual video laboratory for him, and if he could cooperate with Song Yang, then Bastian Clay would not have to leave Bell Labs.
Not only Bastian Clay, but also many other big names in Bell Labs, because of serious shortage of funds, which has seriously affected their experiments, so they are not allowed to leave Bell Labs with academic freedom. I have to eat!
Seeing the gaze cast by Bastian Clay, Stanzen nodded, and Clay immediately stretched out his hand to Song Yang, "I have no problem here, but I hope to get some brand new equipment, here The equipment is no longer able to carry out the latest experiments..."
"No problem, I will ask America Telecom and ICQ to purchase the latest experimental equipment for you, Dr. Clay." Song Yang directly made a guarantee.
When Song Yang heard that Bastian Clay was still a director of the IEEE Society of Electrical and Electronics Engineers and the Signal Processing Society, Song Yang immediately moved his eyes, "Dr. Clay, I think the IEEE Society should implement a set of communication With the voice and video standards in the Internet field, this field cannot be allowed to develop in an orderly manner..."
The IEEE Association has more than 400,000 members worldwide and is the largest professional technical organization in the world. In other words, a technology that has passed the technology and standards recognized by the IEEE is the only one in the world unless you want to follow IEEE is against it, otherwise any company in the world must abide by the implementation of IEEE standards. In other words, other companies that use this technology have to pay money to the company that owns this technology!
Hearing that Song Yang started fooling Bastian Clay, Stanzen couldn't help but sighed. He now has a feeling that Bell Labs welcomes Song Yang. I'm afraid he really doesn't know what it will become in the future...
