Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

Yesterday I said I was going to go out for a walk today, and I didn't deliberately hide my itinerary. As the host, I naturally knew where Bao Zixuan had been. After learning that it was Zhongguancun, I immediately took action. I know a little bit about Mr. Bao's personality. Since he wants to keep a low profile, it's not easy to disturb him.

These people, huddled together; it was difficult not to be noticed, and they couldn't ruin each other's experience. If it backfires, it’s easy to get blamed!

Now that we have decided to carry out an overall transformation of Zhongguancun, we must do it quickly; procrastination is not the character of Bao Shoufang. At the same time, Bao Zixuan knew very well that the longer it was delayed, the higher the cost would be in the future. There is no so-called nail-biter household at present; after all, housing prices are still within the acceptable range.

When Zhongguancun really develops, the merchants will be extremely rich. Then if you want them to move, or stop business for more than a year, think about it and you will know that it is impossible.

The merchants currently engaged in computer sales in Zhongguancun are very forward-looking. I don’t say that I know Moore’s Law well, but I also know that this law exists.

In the face of ever-changing technological upgrades, the only way to stay safe is to be safe. There is also the problem of the location of the shop. After the renovation is completed, nothing will be gained, or the location will become very bad, and the loss will be huge.

When it comes to your own interests, you will definitely consider it carefully; this is also human nature.

Seeing Bao Zixuan coming out of the Heiyun store, the Kyoto staff came up to him and said with a smile: "Mr. Bao, what do you think of Zhongguancun?"

I have researched Bao Zixuan countless times before and found that people like to be straightforward and hate beating around the bush. This may be a common problem among men in science and engineering.

As the world's richest man, when he comes to Kyoto, besides visiting the Ministry of Education, he goes to Zhongguancun. Combined with the strength of Heiyun Group in the computer field, no one would believe it if they said they had no idea about Zhongguancun.

Bao Zixuan smiled and said, "How about we find a place to have a good chat."

If you want to transform Zhongguancun as a whole, you will naturally need strong support from Kyoto; even if you know that the other party has no reason to refuse. But the interests involved in the future are too great to leave any loopholes, so as not to make it unclear.

The Kyoto representative was overjoyed to hear that the other party wanted to find a place to negotiate. This further confirmed that Bao Zixuan was interested in Zhongguancun and there should be no problem in increasing investment.

Soon we came to the management committee, and it was not appropriate to go anywhere else at this time.

After sitting down, the Kyoto representative said directly: "Mr. Bao, we are already very familiar with each other. If you have any needs, or if you need cooperation from Kyoto, you can just tell us; we will do our best."

The attitude must be clear, the purpose is to make the other party feel the sincerity of Kyoto.

Bao Shaofu is still very satisfied with this. People will change over time; this is absolutely true.

Bao Zixuan thought for a moment and said, "Have you ever heard of Silicon Valley in the United States?"

Although he did not study science and engineering, Silicon Valley was not as famous as it would be in later generations; but anyone who has paid a little attention to computers will certainly know what kind of existence Silicon Valley belongs to.

It is definitely a resort in the world's computer field, always at the forefront of earth's technology.

Seeing that everyone was a little confused, Bao Zixuan continued: "Silicon Valley initially had only one working site for the U.S. Navy; the Naval Flight Research Base was established here. Later, many technology company stores were built around the Naval Research Base. But when the Navy moved it When most of the engineering projects on the West Coast were moved to San Diego, NASA took over the Navy's original engineering projects; however, most of the companies stayed. When new companies moved in, the area gradually became a gathering place for aerospace companies. .”

"Initially, there were no civilian high-tech companies here. Although there were many excellent universities, after graduation, most students chose to go to the East Coast to find job opportunities. Fred Terman, a talented professor at Stanford University, discovered this, so A large open space in the school was selected for real estate development, and some programs were set up to encourage students to develop their own entrepreneurial investment careers locally."

"Under the guidance of Professor Terman, two of his students, William Hewlett and David Packard, founded Hewlett-Packard in a garage with $538; a senior engineer who had nothing to do with NASA or the U.S. Navy. Technology company. This garage has now become a witness to the development of Silicon Valley. It has been announced by the California government as the birthplace of Silicon Valley and has become an important attraction."

"In 1, there was a bigger idea, which was to establish the Stanford Research Park. This is the first high-tech industrial park located near the university."

"Some of the smaller industrial buildings in the park are rented to some small technology companies at low rents. Now, these companies are the birthplace of important technologies, but they were not well known at the beginning."

"In the first few years, only a few companies settled here, and then more and more companies settled here; they not only applied the latest technology of the university, but also rented the land of the school. These land rents became the source of income for Stanford University, making Stanford The university continued to thrive. Their professors decided in the 1950s that new infrastructure should be built on valley principles."

"It was in this atmosphere that William Shockley, a famous Californian, moved here. William's move can be regarded as a milestone in the semiconductor industry. He left Bell Labs due to differences in 1. He was alone after the divorce. He returned to Caltech, where he received his Bachelor of Science degree, to establish the Shockley Semiconductor Laboratory in Mountain View, California, close to his mother."

"Before this, the unformed semiconductor industry was mainly concentrated in Boston and Long Island, New York in the eastern United States. For the development of the company, he specially recruited eight young people from the east, including Noyce, Gordon Moore, and Spoelstra. K. Raymond.”

"William Shockley intended to design a component that could replace the transistor to occupy the market. But he encountered a technical bottleneck when considering the problem of designing something simpler than a simple transistor."

"Shockley, who was stumped by technical problems, became increasingly paranoid and asked for polygraph tests on employees; he announced their salaries, which directly angered everyone. Young people in 1 changed jobs en masse. And under the guidance of an industrialist, Sherman- Fairchild Semiconductor was established with funding from Fairchild; Fairchild, headquartered in New York City, mainly engaged in cameras.”

"Because Noyce invented the integrated circuit technology, multiple transistors can be placed on a single crystal silicon wafer, which made Fairchild a success. This also led to the rule that the number of transistors on an integrated circuit doubles every 18 months. , which is also known as Moore’s Law. Although this law is only made of, I believe it will still be valid for a long time to come.”

"This kind of thing keeps happening again, and engineers who are out of control continue to establish new companies. 1 Raymond and others decided to leave Fairchild and founded National Semiconductor, headquartered in Santa Clara. And 1 manager Sanders left, This led to the emergence of the company Super Micro Technology in the world. In July of the same year, Noyce, Gordon Moore, and Andy Grove left Fairchild to establish Intel Corporation. Currently, Intel Corporation is the largest semiconductor company in the world. Integrated circuit manufacturers, possession.”

"This was the beginning of a nightmare. That year, a toxic solution leaked from a chip factory in San Jose, so the company had to spend $12 million to replace soil and monitor water quality. From then on, the company began to go downhill, and eventually Disappeared. But people will not forget his contribution to the history of Silicon Valley and his great achievements in the development of monocrystalline silicon wafers; there are more than 100 companies founded by Fairchild employees in Silicon Valley and even across the United States."

Anyone who can participate in the meeting is not an idiot; they naturally know what Bao Zixuan wants to express. Could it be that they want to build Zhongguancun into a Silicon Valley-like existence in the United States?

If anyone else had such crazy ideas, they would be scorned; they would even be treated as crazy. But the man in front of him is the richest man in the world. Of course, there is another identity that must be mentioned. He is the winner of the award.

There is no shortage of financial strength and technical strength. If you want to do any research and development on computers and integrated circuits, there will be no problem.

In fact, Mr. Bao originally wanted to build Heiyun Town into Silicon Valley, but later found that he took it too much for granted. Yulin Institute of Technology alone cannot do much. Even if it can attract a large number of entrepreneurs, it will inevitably be subject to many restrictions due to some reasons.

Zhongguancun, on the other hand, is different. It has natural advantages. In addition, Kyoto has dozens of universities, so there is no shortage of talent reserves or other aspects. At present, they just lack courage and financial support; but these are not big problems in front of Bao Zixuan.
