I Am the President of the University

The question of the director of the Guanghua Research Institute has always plagued Chen Hao.

First of all, this candidate must be a technical expert, otherwise the researcher below cannot be shocked; secondly, this person must be reliable, and Chen Hao must be assured of handing over the overseas research institute to him.

Mike was recommended by his mentor, Professor Stephen. Since he is a person who is favored by his mentor, his ability, character, and professional ethics should be fine.

For this meeting, Chen Hao took a lot of thought.

Hit a snake and hit seven inches, and Mike's seven inches are AR glasses.

Five years ago, Google's AR glasses product failed to launch, causing the glass project as a whole to be frozen. Mike is a strong advocate of smart glasses. In order to allow the project team to continue research and development, Mike fought hard in front of the Google CEO, but unfortunately failed, and there was a verbal dispute because of this.

When he received the information that he bought from a well-known international headhunting company, he knew that Mike must be in the urn!

"Learn, boss." The identity changed in an instant, and before Mike entered the role, he made a slip of the tongue as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Boss, AR glasses require a lot of technical content, not only will it consume a lot of money, but also research time..." Mike hesitated for a while, then gritted his teeth and said, "The research time may be very long, you have to be prepared for this."

After speaking, Mike was a little nervous.

The ugly words must be said first, he and Mike disdain to deceive investment. Otherwise, at his level, as long as he is willing to tell a good story to the guys on Wall Street, he can go out and realize his dream.

Of course, the investment has to be paid back, and this AR glasses project has a long payback period, and it is a behemoth that swallows gold, and it is possible that all the investment will come to nothing.

"Senior Mike, don't worry, these are not problems." Chen Hao smiled indifferently.

As long as you stand in the wind, even a pig can take off.

The next outlet is undoubtedly AR glasses and VR headsets. It's just that these technologies are still limited by hardware, and it will take at least 10 years to mature.

"What is the main work of this institute?" Mike couldn't help asking.

As a perfectionist, since he agreed to Chen Hao's invitation, he must take this as a career to do well.

"That's it, the research on AR glasses is divided into one institute and one institute. One is the Smart Glasses Research Institute (in preparation) in the Guanghua University campus, and the first institute is the Guanghua Research Institute set up here in Silicon Valley."

Seeing the confusion in Mike's eyes, Chen Hao shook his head and smiled, "Senior Mike, don't think too much. Of course, the research institute cannot only be used for research on smart glasses, and can even be used for independent research in the future."

The two largest centers of talent in the world, one is China, and the other is Beautiful Country.

Microsoft has set up a lot of research institutions in China, attracting some local talents in China who are unwilling to go abroad to work for Microsoft.

Microsoft can harvest talents from China, and Guanghua can also harvest talents from Beautiful Country. For those who are unwilling to leave Beautiful Country to China, they will receive Guanghua Research Institute.

But of course there is a difference between the two.

The Guanghua University of the headquarters is the main force of research, and the Guanghua Research Institute is only a branch established to assist the research of the headquarters. Some high-precision core technologies can only be carried out in the headquarters. Otherwise, in the beautiful country, Chen Hao believed that there might be people from Langley except Mike.

"Then I'm relieved." Mike breathed a sigh of relief, and then smiled bitterly, "But this research institute should be the only one, right?"

Chen Hao smiled,

Said: "Although the research institute has not yet been established, you are not alone, Senior Mike."

Intel's AR business, plus the three startups Zhu Chen is talking about, has a lot of people.

There are about two or three hundred people, and even if a few dozen people leave, there will be at least two hundred left.

It is estimated that there are dozens of people who are willing to come to Huaxia, and there are about a hundred people who are left, which is not too small.

After listening to Chen Hao's words, Mike also had some confidence in taking over the research institute, "That's great. With these people, the operation of the laboratory will be no problem."

After Chen Hao revealed the deal with Apple, Mike was even more confident.

"I'm just going to talk to a startup company in the afternoon, do you want to go together?" Chen Hao, who was about to get up after drinking the coffee, suddenly thought of something, stopped and looked at Mike.

"Ok, I took a day off today." Mike readily agreed.

I thought in my heart that I was going to prepare to resign when I went back, and there was also the matter of job handover.

...

The San Francisco Greater Bay Area has a Mediterranean climate, and the temperature difference does not change much throughout the year. In November, the temperature remains around 15 degrees Celsius.

However, November is the rainy season in California, which is relatively rainy.

When Chen Hao and Mike came out of Starbucks, it was already raining on the street outside.

"Damn the weather!" Mike grumbled in a low voice, then turned to Chen Hao, "Boss, I think we need a taxi."

Mike lives near here, and he just didn't drive when he went out today.

Chen Hao nodded, the two stood under the eaves for a while, and stopped a yellow taxi to get on.

In Beautiful Country, although taxis are more expensive than online car-hailing, taxis are more convenient in terms of convenience.

The sky was a bit gloomy, the light rain kept falling, and the yellow taxi was hidden in the rain.

...

"Happy cooperation!"

Chen Hao smiled and shook hands with each other.

Compared with Chen Hao, the other party was obviously happier. Although he sold himself, he also gained a lot of money.

In Silicon Valley, there is no shortage of ideas.

With money in hand, while achieving economic freedom, you can continue to start a business.

Looking at the expression on the other's face, Chen Hao felt relieved.

Fortunately, there is no face-slap plot like in the novel.

Relying on the banknote ability, the bosses of the two start-up companies sold the companies very readily.

The previous owner wanted to keep some shares, but Chen Hao was more sensitive to shares, so it was better to speak his mind.

A little more premium, the other party agreed without thinking.

After leaving the company, Chen Hao said with a relaxed tone, "Everything is going well, only the last company is left."

Chen Hao is very satisfied with the professionalism held by the first two companies and the level of technical team members.

The founders of the two companies are both graduates of Stanford University, and the companies are not far from Stanford. Relying on Stanford's resources and platforms, they have made something.

Most of the members are from Stanford University and the University of California, Berkeley.

In such a prestigious school, even if there are scumbags, it is difficult for them to graduate.

"It's mainly because of your charisma, the boss, Max. In your Huaxia words, it's easy to capture!" Mike said flatteringly, but he didn't think so.

Nonsense, as soon as the new boss came to power, he directly said that the salary of all members will be increased by 15% on the original basis. Isn't this worth cheering?

15% of 100,000 RMB is also 15,000, 15% of 200,000 US dollars, that is 30,000 US dollars!

When it comes to the salary of the IT industry in the United States, Silicon Valley must be the first! The average annual income of employees of technology and Internet companies in the Silicon Valley area is $142,000, ranking first in the United States.

Even a new employee who has just entered has an annual income of $100,000.

For first-tier companies such as Google and Facebook, fresh graduates have $150,000 in L3, 250,000+ in L4 after two years of work, at least 350,000 in L5 after four or five years of work, and eight to ten years of work. L6 is more than 500,000.

The average house in the Silicon Valley area is about 1.5 million dollars, which is about 6 years' salary.

Compared with domestic Ahri and Tengxun, P5 has 300,000 RMB, and P8 has 1.5 million.

Hangcheng and Yangcheng are better. In Beijing Hupeng, an ordinary house will cost five or six million.

It will take ten years of salary...

I believe that no one grew up with the ideal of buying a house.

And the programmers here in the beautiful country are still 965. It is a pity that the president does not have the surname Ma, so he cannot let the employees enjoy the blessing of 996. It is a pity.

Chen Hao automatically filtered out Mike's flattery, and turned to Zhu Chen, "Is the next company not far from here?"

He still remembered that he wanted to talk to the owner of the company.

"Yes, it's about 1 kilometer away." Zhu Chen, who was very familiar with the surrounding area, replied directly without thinking.

Chen Hao nodded, "That's not far, let's go."

The three then drove to their last destination.

A six-story office building covers a small area, and one floor is just enough to accommodate a company with about 100 people.

I took the elevator to the 3rd floor. Because there was an appointment, I went straight to the conference room and waited for the boss of the other party to appear.

He didn't care about this Chen Hao. After waiting for about ten minutes, a middle-aged white man in a suit opened the door.

The other party's eyes wandered over Chen Hao and the three of them one by one, and their eyes lit up when they finally saw Mike.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, I'm Alan Black, the owner of VANTEN." Black introduced with a smile.

Chen Hao, Mike, and Zhu Chen also got up and shook hands in response.

Just shaking hands with Mike, Black suddenly became very enthusiastic, "This must be the boss Zhu said? Welcome to VANTEN!"

In the face of Black's words, Mike felt a sense of nonsense, and explained with a look of astonishment: "Mr. Black, you have identified the wrong person! The Mr. Ricardo next to me is the boss."

Mike's words made Blake equally stunned. After looking at Chen Hao's complexion, he turned to Mike with a shocked expression, "Mr. Mike, are you sure you're not kidding me? Oh God, this can't be real!"

Mike felt speechless for a while, is this guy mentally ill and needs to listen to it a second time?

Chen Hao frowned, and from the other party's eyes, he noticed something was wrong.

"Mr. Black, this is a market valuation for your company. If you have no doubts, you can sign a contract for the price above." Chen Hao pushed the contract forward.

This contract is a premium of 20%, and the first two agreed directly without even thinking about it.

As soon as he came up, Chen Hao gave a reserve price, and if he liked it, he would sell it, otherwise I would find another one.

In Silicon Valley, there are many companies like them, but they are not unicorn companies.

The assessment document is right in front of Bligh, and he can reach it with his hand, but he doesn't move his hand, and the smile on his face fades away.

"I'm sorry, I don't think the company can be sold to you anymore." Blake said indifferently to Chen Hao

"Wow?"

Chen Hao was full of question marks, why did you refuse without even reading the evaluation documents?

"Mr. Black, would you like to see the price first?"

"No, I don't think it's necessary." Blake said lightly, "I originally thought the boss behind Zhu was a white man, but I didn't expect it to be a yellow race, and he was also from China."

"Racist?"

Hearing the other party's words, Chen Hao also saw that the dog-like guy in front of him was a racist.

"No, I just changed my mind, I don't want to sell it to you." Blake shook his head in denial.

"Principal..." Zhu Chen looked at Chen Hao blankly.

Mike's emotional intelligence is relatively high, and he is afraid of Chen Hao's confusion. In addition, the other party is not only his own boss but also his direct junior, and he proposes: "Boss, it is also very good that there is an AR optical module manufacturer nearby, why don't we go? look there?"

"I'm sorry, it seems that we can't cooperate anymore." Chen Hao said calmly, of course he wouldn't make a fool of himself. There are too many racially discriminated people in the beautiful country.

African Americans are the most discriminated against, followed by Asians.

For such a biased person, as long as he doesn't anger himself, Chen Hao generally chooses to ignore it.

Standing up, he wanted to shake hands politely, but he didn't expect this guy to sit still, Chen Hao felt a little unhappy, his face became stiff, and he said to the two beside him, "Let's go."

Mike and Zhu Chen followed, and the three walked to the door of the conference room. Just as they opened the glass door, just as they were about to go out, there was a murmur behind them.

Especially when Chen Hao heard one of the words, his steps stopped instantly.

Mike and Zhu Chen also heard the volume.

Zhu Chen's face also became unsightly, as for Mike, he shook his head and said something like "oh, God".

Chen Hao closed the glass door, turned around, expressionless, but there was a cold glow in his eyes.

Looking directly at Blake, Chen Hao said coldly:

"I heard you say chingchong just now, didn't you?"

When it comes to the discrimination and ridicule of Chinese people by foreigners, the words "Chinese people" and "Sick Man of East Asia" are still the most infuriating.

In terms of color discrimination, white people mock black people as "nigger", which means nigger, which is a very offensive word.

The most unpleasant thing to ridicule yellow people is "yellowmonkey", which is the yellow-skinned monkey.

But many Chinese people don't know that there is a very insulting word called "chingchong".

In Western European languages, "chingchong" and "Chinese" are homophonic, and it is also said that it refers to the pronunciation of "Qing Dynasty" in the accent of Hu or Lingnan Province; another explanation is that during the Qing Dynasty, Westerners called the Chinese people "Qingchong", using them The broken Chinese is called "chingchong".

In North America, "chingchong" is a classic term with a decades-long history of Chinese exclusion, and is recognized as a strong ethnic discrimination.

Chen Hao had been in Beautiful Country for eight years, of course he knew what the word meant.

In the face of the domineering Chen Hao, Blake was annoyed. The concept of white supremacy instilled in him since childhood made him contempt for the yellow race, especially the Chinese.

Blakesser shouted sarcastically: "So what? You Chinese people still want to play high-tech? Isn't it bad to be a worker honestly?!"

"Very good, you successfully angered me." Chen Hao laughed angrily.
