Chapter 1242 Life is like a play
It's not that Paul Alivisatos is not reserved, but Song Yang gave too much, even if he didn't ask about the salary, but he gave it to a nanomaterials laboratory with a $[-] million dollar, and the three melons are still missing. ? !
"When the retirement banquet is held for Dr. Stanzen, Bell Labs will officially announce that you, Dr. Paul, will take over as the president of Bell Labs!"

This time I came to New York, although there were some turmoil, but the things that need to be handled by Song Yang have basically been dealt with. Now I just wait for the retirement banquet of Stanzen, and Song Yang will return to Houston, and Christmas is coming soon. .

For Stanzen, Song Yang and Bell Labs have chosen to give each other enough respect and decency. Life is like a play, it all depends on acting skills, even if you know it is acting, so what, sometimes fake plays are real, and you do a lot Once you are done, you will naturally enter the drama. Since you are acting, then do everything.

Hold a splendid retirement banquet for Stanzen, prepare his posthumous name, and create a model of buying horse bones with a lot of money, so that the top talents in the world can see Bell Labs buying a horse bone with a lot of money With determination and attitude, just like Paul Alivisatos this time, more and more academic experts will be recruited.

Of course, there is no such thing as wasting money in the world. Alcatel mobile phones, PA semiconductors, etc. have provided Bell Labs with so much funding. Materials and patents are naturally used by companies such as Alcatel mobile phones. The technology may not be available now, but without technology, it is definitely unlucky, and even if you have money, you can’t buy it!
"America's top laboratory, Bell Labs President Stanzen announced that he will end his academic and professional career in the near future and start retirement!"

ICNC TV station suddenly released the news that Stanzen was about to retire on the news channel, and then played a documentary reviewing Stanzen's academic career, as well as "turning the tide" to save Bell Labs' career from the fire.

Countless people have never heard of this little old man, but what the media is good at, packaging a person's image, and building momentum for him are all basic skills.

In the news report of ICNC TV station, Stanzen has almost become a giant figure in the modern academic circle of America. The Nobel Prize won by Bell Labs, and how many technology giants in America are all Stanzen What has been cultivated, as well as graphene that will affect the world in the next few decades, etc., are all related to Stanzen. up...

After ICNC TV station, TV stations of NBC and CNN, as well as newspapers and magazines owned by Time Warner, ICQ, AOL, Twitter and other Internet platforms, portals and social platforms, also began to appear overwhelming news about Stanzen .

It was almost a one-night apotheosis, but Stanzen was almost portrayed as saving the image of America's technology industry. When he saw those nasty reports on the TV station at home, Stanzen himself blushed.

Under the huge momentum, including the Federal Academy of Sciences, the Federal Academy of Engineering and the Arts, the Inventors Hall of Fame, the Internet Hall of Fame, and other large and small institutions that represent the highest hall of honor in the American academic industry have released news one after another. Induct Stanzahn into the Hall of Fame.

What really made Stanzen's name resound throughout America was the Grand Commander's Office, which suddenly announced that the Grand Commander would award Stanzen the Federal Medal, which is the highest honor the Grand Commander can bestow on a person!

Even the commander-in-chief has awarded Stanzahn a medal, and a group of ICNC media are frantically promoting Stanzahn. If Stanzahn is not included in the Hall of Fame such as the Federal Academy of Sciences, then he will be scolded.

If it weren't for Stanzen, he would have nothing to do with England and old Europe. Maybe he could be given a title of old European knight or British knight. In the eyes of outsiders, Bigger said Might not be higher.

But it is that Stanzen has obtained these things, which are enough for other figures in the American academic circle to be envious and envious of them. How many people are Stanzen's fame and status, and may be recorded in history for future generations to look up to Well, how many people in academia dare not do this in their dreams, and what he has obtained is no longer obtained by relying on mixed qualifications!
Stanzen’s retirement banquet was very grand, and it can be called a grand event in the academic circles of America. Many Nobel Prize winners in America and many industry giants from Ivy League universities announced that they would be invited to attend.

It has been confirmed that he will serve as the president of Bell Labs. Paul Alivisatos naturally followed Stanzen to the retirement banquet held in a large hotel in New York.

Stanzen is also telling the outside world that Paul will take over his mantle, and his contacts, resources, power, etc. will also be handed over to Paul Alivisatos, which can be regarded as a kind of inheritance.

"Alberts!"

In the hotel where the retirement banquet was held, Stanzen, who rarely took off his lab coat and put on a suit, called out to a 70-[-]-year-old man with white hair on his face, and then the two hugged, and they seemed to have a very good relationship good.

"Alberts, this is Paul, the next president of Bell Labs!"

While exchanging greetings with Alberts, Stanzen also introduced Paul Alivisatos behind him. When Paul heard the name of the other party, he also nodded respectfully to the other party and raised his glass .

Paul is no stranger to Alberts. He is the editor-in-chief of the top academic magazine "Science" in America. In addition, he has another identity, the head of the Federal Academy of Sciences. Who wants to enter the Federal Academy of Sciences? , have to be signed and approved by Alberts.

"Paul, I remember you, your academic papers were published in scientific magazines!"

Alberts was a little surprised when he heard that Paul Alivisatos took over as the president of Bell Labs, and then he said something to Paul with a smile, and then he said to Stanzahn with a smile, "If the University of Chicago, the University of California, Knowing that you have snatched Paul away, I'm afraid I won't send you that congratulatory announcement!"

Listening to Alberts' joke, Stanzen couldn't help showing a little smug expression on his face. Being able to snatch away people who are valued by the University of Chicago, the University of California, and Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory is enough to show that the Bell Labs led by Stanzahn , the influence has surpassed them!

After Alberts, Stanzen introduced many big figures in academia to Paul Alivisatos, including Kruger who discovered lymphocytes, Robert Cole, a Nobel Prize winner in chemistry, and a superhero in the medical field. Daniel, Mello, who is speculated by the media as the most promising to win the Nobel Prize in Medicine in recent years, and many other big figures in the academic world.

For so many years, Stanzahn has not been living in academia in the United States. He was originally an academic expert. Coupled with the existence of Bell Labs, he naturally has huge resources and contacts.

If Paul Alivisatos hadn't been chosen by Stanzen himself as the successor, Stanzen would not have worked so hard to hand over all these contacts to the other party.

In addition to those who have worked in academia, America Telecom, which is headquartered in New York, this time America Telecom Iger also brought many executives to the front row to support, ICQ, PA semiconductor, Alcatel mobile phone, and many others Technology companies have also sent people over.

You know, now Bell Labs can produce more than three patents of various types every day. After so many years, even though Bell Labs has sold countless patents, the patent library in hand is still a giant. , After visiting Bell Labs, they all salivate over it, including the founder of Chrysanthemum Factory, one of the top four domestic mobile phone manufacturers in China Cool Union, who also visited Bell Labs before. Nor can it be exempt.

The patent pool of Bell Labs, in addition to the various companies in the hands of Song Yang, who take patents and technologies from Bell Labs every year, there are also a large number of other companies that select patents from the patent pool of Bell Labs, or purchase or lease , the patent library of Bell Labs may become the most profitable department of Bell Labs in the future, not to mention earning back the capital, at least it can lose less.

When the head of Bell Labs changed this time, those companies naturally wanted to come over and win relationships with Bell Labs in order to obtain more patents and technologies from Bell Labs.

The arrival of people from academia, the technology industry, and other industries such as education made the retirement banquet held at the big hotel abruptly crowded.

When Song Yang passed by, what he saw was this scene. All the media and reporters present today were also wandering around those academic giants and Nobel Prize winners. When Song Yang passed by, There were not too many reporters and media around.

But Song Yang is not dissatisfied with this kind of scene. Now Song Yang, for things like fame and fortune, is no longer like when he first debuted, he cared about standing in a coffee position when taking a photo. When he first debuted, Song Yang needs fame and fortune to gain the attention of Wall Street, and let the venture capitalists in Silicon Valley generously pay for him. Now, he doesn't need that at all...

Song Yang can't wait to see as many big cows from various industries as possible, just like the saying that all the heroes in the world are in my pocket. Song Yang hopes that all the big cows in America will join Bell Labs. Sometimes it is also a resource, even a beautiful knife!

"Director Bruno!"

After Song Yang arrived, there were not a few people who came over to win over Song Yang and sent business cards to Song Yang.

After exchanging greetings with the people for a while, seeing more and more people approaching, and seeing Eiger not far away, Song Yang shrugged off a few words and walked towards Eiger. Go, the people here today are all self-confident people, so naturally they won't make fun of themselves.

"Eiger!"

Song Yang went over, and Eiger, who was taking his wife Willow Bay to the banquet, saw Song Yang and hurried over.

Eiger is his own person, so naturally he doesn't need to be so particular. Song Yang took a glass of wine from the banquet waiter's plate, and had a drink with the Eiger couple.

"How is America Telecom preparing now?!"

Looking at the crowded scene at the banquet hall, Song Yang started talking with Iger, and it was time for RICK Group and American Telecom to bear fruit.

Originally, American Telecom should have been listed long ago, but it has been suppressed by Song Yang, and when the Alcatel P6 mobile phone is launched next year, and when the 3G communication era comes, America Telecom will naturally follow the trend to go public, cutting off a crop of leeks.

"very smooth!"

"Members of America Telecom's board of directors, as well as shareholders and investors, all support America Telecom's listing!"

Iger has a smile on his face, can those people support it? How many years have passed since the establishment of American Telecom, and the old telecom empires of WorldCom have collapsed, and American Telecom finally came belatedly. , announcing that it is going to start listing, those who invested in America Telecom, how dare they object, I am afraid that if there is a trouble, America Telecom will not be listed again...

Song Yang is the largest shareholder of American Telecom, but American Telecom also has many other shareholders, including Telephone and Telegraph Group, Comerica Bank, Microsoft, Goldman Sachs, Deutsche Bank, and other large and small investors. They have also been looking forward to the stars and the moon for a long time, waiting for America Telecom to go public and earn back. America Telecom has made a lot of money in these years, but it has burned more money, and it was all borrowed money. When ICQ was merged, the debts were transferred. It is estimated that America Telecom's debts today will exceed tens of billions of dollars!
Willow Bay, who was standing aside, looked at Iger who had a good chat with Song Yang, and recalled the scene when it was rumored that Iger was going to be the president of American Telecom. At that time, I don’t know how many people were mocking Iger Overthinking his own strength, he laughed at Song Yang for choosing Iger to be the president of American Telecom because he was cheap, did not get paid in the first year, and got a commission based on performance. There were not a few people in the media who sneered at Iger.

But now, Iger has obtained a 5% stake in American Telecom, and his direct annual salary exceeds 4000 million US dollars, plus dividends, bonuses and so on. Iger is now a veritable working emperor among professional managers in America. With a salary of more than 5000 million US dollars, together with ICQ President Irene Doherty, she became the highest paid professional manager in America.

Similarly, as American Telecom became a giant in the telecommunications industry in America, Iger became a big figure in the media and telecommunications industry, and Willow Bay's status also rose accordingly. The NBC Group she worked for at the beginning became a subsidiary of ICQ. industry.

Willow Bay did not continue to stay in NBC Group, but set up a small media company by himself, and jointly produced documentaries, variety shows, interview programs and other films with some big TV stations. With Iger, ICQ, ICNC, TV stations such as NBC and CNN naturally wouldn't embarrass Willow Bay. Now Willow Bay is worth a lot more than when he was a small reporter and program host!
Willow Bay did not forget the original hatred. The financial program that mocked Eiger had long since been shut down, and the host of the program had long since disappeared. Those invited guests had never been seen again. Opportunities presented themselves on television.

"Ding Ding Ding!"

In the banquet hall, there was the sound of knocking wine glasses, and then all eyes were on Stanzahn, who had just stepped onto the stage.

"I am very glad that everyone can come. Today is the most glorious moment in my life. I hope that the person who will carve my tombstone in the future can write on it. Today there are more than five Nobel Prize winners. 46 scholars who have been nominated by Nobel, as well as the most valuable man in America, all came here because of me..."
