Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

Hearing Robert Calvin's words, Professor Leonard was a little overwhelmed and couldn't even believe that these words came from the hometown in front of him. The University of Chicago cooperates very closely with Motorola, and many of its graduates have worked at Motorola.

But in Robert Calvin's mind, he only regarded the University of Chicago as an institution that spent money to do things, and he may have never respected it from the bottom of his heart. Graduates are a tool and labor force for him to make money, not to mention much recognition.

Today we mentioned that we will assist the University of Chicago in securing a secondary root server, and we also analyzed that the main root server will definitely be placed at Stanford and MIT. Although they are not romantically involved, they also know that what Robert Calvin said makes sense. Could it be that Robert Calvin has recently gained some computer-related knowledge? Isn't it impossible?

Leonard: "Mr. Galvin means that the University of Chicago can obtain a auxiliary root server spot, which is very difficult. It may cost more than 200 million US dollars to build a computer room and purchase equipment alone, and this is only a conservative estimate. The computer science major at the University of Chicago has limited funding, and even if we get it, there is no way to build it.”

As an old and prestigious university in the United States, the University of Chicago is not in such a state of decline. Leonard just wanted to see what Robert Galvin meant and whether he really wanted to help the University of Chicago win the auxiliary root server.

Bao Zixuan paid so much to get the auxiliary root server. Although he didn't understand it, he still couldn't learn it!

Robert Galvin: "Motorola and the University of Chicago have a good basis for cooperation, and our two interests are common. When the University of Chicago benefits and develops, Motorola will also benefit. So there is no need to worry about the funding, all of which will be borne by Motorola. "

"As much as you try your best, Motorola will build the best computer room and purchase the latest industrial computers as required."

At this moment, Professor Leonard’s first feeling was, today is not April Fool’s Day! Otherwise, why would Robert Calvin start talking nonsense? From what he knew about him, he was not such a generous person at all. Could it be that he was stimulated by something, or maybe he figured it out.

As the head of the Department of Computer Science, an internationally renowned computer expert, and having participated in the establishment of ARPANET, Professor Leonard certainly knew that a main root server and several auxiliary root servers were needed. With the achievements of the University of Chicago in computers, there is no need to consider the main root server at all. Striving for it in the past will only be futile and even a bit embarrassing.

But auxiliary root servers can still be fought for, at least except for the two top computer universities, Stanford and MIT. The University of Chicago is no weaker than other colleges and universities, at least when it comes to computing. If Motorola can fully support it, there is still a good chance of getting a secondary root server.

Professor Leonard looked at Robert Calvin's serious expression and knew that the other person was serious. US$200 million is an astronomical figure to ordinary people, but it is nothing to Motorola.

Leonard: "We understand Mr. Calvin's mood. There is still no big problem for the University of Chicago to obtain a auxiliary root server. However, everything is in the experimental stage now, and we don't know whether it will generate revenue in the future. Moreover, the investment is still a bottomless pit. At least the annual maintenance cost is a big expense.”

Although I don’t understand what’s going on with the ARPANET upgrade, I think what Bao Zixuan wants to do is correct. Computers will definitely become an important tool in promoting human development, and early layout will be of huge benefit to Motorola.

Gordon Moore joked today that he doesn't understand technology. This is indeed a shortcoming. The current age may not be able to keep up, and Motorola cannot fall behind in cultivating available talents. Without the cooperation of the Polytechnic University, Bao Zixuan has to build one in Xiangjiang. Motorola is located next to the University of Chicago, and such a good advantageous resource has been severely underutilized before. It really shouldn’t be the case, intellectuals and professors should still be respected.

Robert Galvin: "The upgrade of ARPANET is a national act and a project that promotes the continuous progress of technology and mankind. It doesn't matter even if you spend some money, not to mention getting a secondary root server can make the computer science major of the University of Chicago even better . It is of huge benefit to Motorola. As long as the scientific research level of the University of Chicago improves, there is no need to worry about making money."

This is what Robert Calvin said, I really can’t believe it. But the facts are right in front of us. It seems that this old saying finally understands the meaning of prosperity and loss.

At the same time, we also know how to respect scientific researchers. This is a good start. Although I don’t know why Robert Calvin had such a big change, it doesn’t matter. As long as you are willing to pay, who cares about anything else.

Leonard knew that the University of Chicago would contribute some scientific research results, but compared with someone paying to help build the auxiliary root server, nothing was important. The exchange of interests between enterprises and universities is normal and cannot be avoided in the United States.

At this time, Bao Zixuan will continue to lobby, and it looks very stable now. But the Americans will not easily put the auxiliary root server in Xiangjiang. That is Chinese territory, and return will be a matter of time. If no price is paid and all companies are satisfied, Bao is worried that variables will arise.

At present, Motorola and Intel will not come forward to stop it, and other companies will not be able to do so. There is only one person or company left that can embarrass Bao Zixuan and Yulin Institute of Technology.

Seeing Bao Zixuan actively looking for him, little Watson was a little confused. The competition between the two companies is very fierce, even to the point of incompatibility. At this time, Heiyun and IBM have become synonymous with the field of large-scale industrial computers, and it is difficult to say who is better. Black Cloud leads in performance, where is IBM's customer base?

It’s good for the two companies to compete with each other, at least antitrust investigations won’t come to them easily.

Bao Zixuan smiled and said, "Mr. Watson, it's been a long time since I last saw you. You are getting more energetic."

The two of them haven't gotten to know each other that well yet, so Bao Zixuan coming to see him already makes people suspicious. He must be asking for something if he is so polite at this time. This kid has never respected him so much, especially when there are other people around.

Little Watson: "Not as good as you young people, Mr. Xiaobao has been very successful recently. I heard that the demand for Black Cloud George Patton military vehicles exceeds supply. My granddaughter wants to buy one, but there is no chance. It seems that you are not only in the computer field. , can still make all the difference in the automotive industry."

Little Watson is really not kidding. Black Cloud George Button cars have caused a huge sensation in the United States and even the world. Celebrities from all walks of life in the United States want to buy one, including Watson's granddaughter.

And he actually told Watson that he didn’t want to buy Bao Zixuan’s products. But if my granddaughter likes someone, I will arrange for someone to inquire about it. But Heiyun Automobile does not accept orders at all, and now it must make every effort to ensure the supply of military supplies to various countries.

When I saw Bao Zixuan today, I mentioned it half-jokingly.

Bao Zixuan smiled and said: "What do I mean? Since Miss Watson likes the cars produced by Heiyun, I will send two cars over tomorrow. I guarantee that the lady will be satisfied, so you can rest assured."

I really don't know how to proceed with this. Bao Zixuan's gift is not that easy to get, and he has to owe a favor. But seeing his granddaughter's disappointed expression, little Watson had a headache.

The omnipotent grandfather has always been the pride of his granddaughter. It would be really disappointing if you can't even do this little thing.

Little Watson: "No reward for no merit, I will send you a bill when the time comes."

You can always buy it with money! The problems that money can solve are all small ones, and it's better than owing this guy a favor.

Bao Zixuan: "Mr. Watson, you're welcome, it's just a small matter."

"I came here this time to discuss something with you, and it is something that is beneficial to both IBM and Heiyun."

I knew that this guy must be up to no good, otherwise how could he be so generous.

Watson Jr.: "Mr. Bao can tell you what he wants directly. If it is good for both companies, IBM has no reason to refuse."

He spoke so politely, and when he heard that his granddaughter liked the car, he sent it directly to her, so he must have asked for something. However, there is one thing that little Watson agrees with. Bao Zixuan has never cheated his partners, and his reputation is very good throughout the world.

Bao Zixuan: "The upgrade of ARPANET requires the use of industrial computers with more powerful performance. The two companies can completely cooperate in this regard. We jointly develop an industrial computer for servers. All of Heiyun's patented technologies in the field of industrial computers can be transferred to IBM is open. The mainframe uses our products, and other parts should not choose other companies."

"Heiyun Group can show its utmost sincerity as long as IBM is willing to cooperate."

Bao Zixuan only said that Heiyun can come up with all patented technologies, but did not ask IBM to do the same. This in itself is an unfair cooperation and is very beneficial to IBM.

At this time, Heiyun has already taken the lead in the field of industrial computers, so why should it cooperate with IBM? There must be unknown stories in it, and little Watson will not be dazzled by the sudden benefits.

Watson Jr.: "Win-win cooperation can only last long. Mr. Bao must have other requirements. People don't talk secretly. Please tell me what you want IBM to do."

No one is stupid, and Bao Zixuan is not someone who suffers easily. No one dares to promise anything easily without seeing the opponent's cards clearly.
