"This is all about Stanford."

Elsa put the information she had prepared recently on Catherine's desk.

"Um."

Although it was only mentioned once, it seemed that Elsa quickly adapted to the secretary's job.

"Thank you, Elsa."

"Yeah." The way Elsa blinked her big eyes was really cute.

Catherine looked at the introduction on the information.

Stanford University is a private university in the United States. It covers an area of ​​35 square kilometers and is the second largest university in the United States.

"It will also be the second-ranked university in the world in the future." Catherine added silently.

In 1959, Terman, dean of Stanford University's School of Engineering, proposed an idea - this was a turning point for Stanford University: to lease one thousand acres to the industrial and commercial community or graduate alumni for long-term rent at a very low and only nominal rent.

Companies are established, and then they cooperate with the school to provide various research projects and student internship opportunities. This makes Stanford the first university in the United States to establish an industrial park on campus.

Now Stanford University is still unknown, and the University of California is still the best university in California.

The person Catherine wanted to meet was Fred Terman, dean of the School of Engineering at Stanford University, who is also the vice president of Stanford University.

Fred Terman, the future "Father of Silicon Valley", it was precisely because of his strategies and his symbolic land rent strategy that the Silicon Valley Industrial Park was able to develop steadily. Without Terman, Silicon Valley would have been

It won't appear at all.

Stanford University doesn't have much influence yet, so when Catherine sent her proposal to Stanford, they felt extremely excited.

Catherine didn't even have to go to Stanford, Fred Terman came in a hurry.

Originally, Sanders should have done this, but he is now organizing research on laser disc ld and vcd technology.

Because the talent gap is so large, these tasks that should not be performed by the president can only be completed by Sanders.

Therefore, the original job of president fell on Catherine.

"Hello, Miss Edson."

Fred Terman, 66 years old, looks in high spirits.

"Hello, Mr. Terman."

Catherine greeted the other party friendly.

The other party has already seen the plan, so communication is simple.

"We hope that Stanford University can open a class to cultivate professional and technical talents for our Ark Group. Companies like Intel, Apple and Blizzard all need such talents, with the number of people ranging from 100 to 300."

Catherine explained the matter to the other party concisely.

Terman also nodded. This matter is absolutely a good thing and is necessary to expand the influence of Stanford University.

"We have already discussed this matter here. It is a win-win situation and we welcome it very much. But then again, Miss Edson is really amazing. Integrated circuits and micro-CPU technology are amazing.

They are all inventions that can cause a storm."

As the other party talked, he began to admire Catherine's invention.

After all, there are fewer professional businessmen in universities. They value technology more. Stanford's industrial park is also open to high-tech industries.

"Thanks."

In this case, things are much simpler.

As a result, the contract was quickly finalized. Stanford University recruits 100 to 300 students every year to train specifically for the Ark Group. The Ark Group will pay the tuition for these students and provide internship conditions.

Intel and Apple, both companies under the Ark Group, require talents that are different from those of the outside world.

For example, in today's programming, most people use paper tape to punch holes in programming, but Catherine requires the use of assembly language and C language programming, so it must be specially trained at a designated location.

Catherine is also considering cooperating with multiple universities to carry out computer network research, but this matter cannot be discussed only at Stanford University. Catherine also plans to get some other universities to join in.

After all, in history, A-Net was also the first to be connected to four universities.

So, the matter here was settled.

But Catherine didn't stop there.

In addition to technical talents, there are also management talents, which Catherine urgently needs. However, now that the United States has officially begun to transform into a financial society, many of the old generation of management talents can no longer keep up with the times. Many enterprises

So it's just a flash in the pan these days, just because the management can't keep up.

Olson relied on the "Matrix" to successfully turn around.

It happened that Peter Drucker finally responded to Catherine at this time - he is now an economic consultant at Ark Group.

After signing the contract with Fred Terman, Catherine left the specific matters to the following, and she also went to meet with Drucker.

The other party is the father of modern management, and until the 21st century, his theories still benefit people a lot.

"Hello, Mr. Drucker."

Compared to Terman, Catherine had considerable respect for Drucker.

"Hello, Miss Edson, it's hard to imagine that you are not only so young, but also so beautiful. Oh, I always feel like I have seen you somewhere... It seems like... Red Alert?"

Catherine smiled.

"Yes, there is an artificial intelligence 'Elizabeth' in it, which I played."

The other party smiled.

After the pleasantries, Catherine asked impatiently: "I wonder what Mr. Drucker thinks of our Ark Group?"

"With all due respect, Ark's policy is a bit too quick and quick."

Drucker went straight to the point.

"oh?"

Catherine raised her eyebrows and looked at Drucker.

Drucker pondered for a moment.

"Let's use an analogy like this. There is a family now. They only have one or two books. It is obviously not suitable to sell the bookshelf to them at this time. It is better to become a bookseller first and sell the books to them, and wait until they have them.

With enough books, they will have the pursuit of bookshelves..."

Catherine nodded.

Looking at it this way, I am indeed a little eager for quick success.

Drucker continued: "The strength of an interest group is far greater than that of a group company. Only when everyone can eat the cake will they support you and support you to form a united and exclusive group. Now the Ark Group has

There are many high-tech and cutting-edge technologies and relatively advanced management strategies adopted at the same time, but this is not enough. Your external response is still somewhat insufficient. Only by achieving a win-win situation can Ark Group stand firm, and now, Ark Group is unparalleled.

Naturally, no company dares to come and harm Ark Group, but what about the future?"

Catherine nodded with deep understanding...
