Back to 1995

Chapter 1243
What Stanzen said made the audience burst into laughter. When he mentioned those names, many people looked at the few people in his mouth. Song Yang also smiled and nodded at the gaze cast on him.

However, Stanzen's jokes immediately brought the relationship between the academics and Song Yang closer. If Stanzen can put those Nobel Prize winners with Song Yang, then Song Yang is obviously "One of our own" in academia!

"There are very important moments in a person's life. They are all when they are old, sitting in front of the courtyard alone, to recall the evidence of their life, or at the last moment of life, they can recall the life!

Joining Bell Labs is the most important thing in my life for me, and I have never regretted it, although there have been helplessness, disappointment, anger and despair..."

Speaking of the most critical moment of Bell Labs, when it was split up and the headquarters land was about to be sold, Bell Labs was only one step away from closing its doors. Stanzen's old eyes were red and his voice was a little choked up. It is conceivable that, How stressed he was during that time.

"However, Bell Labs did not fall. This is the most fortunate thing in my life. I would like to thank Mr. Bruno Song. He saved my career and saved Bell Labs. He did it for me and The promise of Bell Labs, in the history of the federal technology industry, should be written down as a sentence, Bruno Song saved Bell Labs..."

There was applause at the banquet. At the last stop of his career and the most important moment in his life, Stanzen slammed a wave of big donors. It was a return to Song Yang for the dozens of votes he gave to Bell Labs every year. Billion dollars!

Stanzen's words moved many big names at the scene, including the Nobel laureate, and many people were moved by it. They could all see that Stanzen was showing his true feelings, and he really thanked Song Yang for saving him. To save his old life, so that he will not be infamous for letting Bell Labs go bankrupt.

And many big names in academia, after hearing Stanzen's words, couldn't help but look in Song Yang's direction. Stanzen's prestige in the industry is still very high, and no one would think that Stanzen was doing it. To deceive them, they couldn't help but feel a little moved, whether to try their luck by relying on Song Yang, a big benefactor.

They all know too well that there is a big financial backer supporting their research and development, buying experimental equipment for them, investing in research and development, and how much change will be brought about. After all, if an inspiration from an academic giant needs to be verified, it will cost It’s not a small amount. Using a supercomputer is just a basic operation. An experiment may cost tens of millions of dollars. Of course, mathematicians are excluded. The theory of that thing is decades ahead of reality, and there is no way to verify it!

No matter how many advertisements are played, it is not as good as Stanzahn's "heartfelt words". It is conceivable that there will be a large group of academic experts who will switch to Bell Labs in the future. Maybe in the future, a few more will be awarded Nobel Prize!

"The new head of Bell Labs is born, and the father of nanomaterials is in charge of Bell Labs!"

"The world's top nanomaterials laboratory will be built, and Bell Labs will spend [-] million dollars to build a new nanomaterials laboratory to welcome the new head!"

"RICK is about to go public, and the world's largest luxury empire is about to be born!"

"There is another news about the mobile phone operating system, and Saipan has officially acquired the Android system platform!"

After attending Stanzen's retirement banquet, Song Yang accompanied Elsa and little Annie for a few days, then took a private plane and rushed towards Houston. On the plane, Song Yang read various news reports in the newspaper in his hand.

Bell Labs also announced the appointment of a new head, Paul Alivisatos, the most powerful figure in American academia.

After Bell Labs’ conditions for recruiting Paul came out, the entire academic world was stunned. A nanomaterials laboratory was built with [-] million US dollars, and the annual salary provided to Paul Alivisatos also exceeded [-] million US dollars. Knife, this condition, whether it is placed in America or the global academic industry, is quite explosive.

On Wall Street, the most eye-catching thing is the last dance of the RICK Group. This is the last big fish on Wall Street this year. The entire Wall Street institution is building momentum for the RICK Group.

The private jet Bruno kept passing through the thick clouds. In the cabin, Song Yang took a sip of the coffee handed over by the flight attendant while looking at the newspaper in his hand.

Song Yang looked at the reports on the technology industry in the newspapers. Since the second half of this year, mobile phones have undoubtedly been the most active industry in the technology industry. Since the release of P5, there has been no black technology or amazing new ideas. Alcatel mobile phone voice began to ring.

Although the sales volume of P5 is still at a record high, many media believe that this is only temporary, just like a big empire, it is impossible to collapse overnight, and the broken ship still has three catties of iron.

However, many media and professionals in the mobile phone circle believe that Alcatel mobile phones have become "mediocre", and the explosive sales of P5 are just a flashback.

It is a terrible thing for a giant company to become mediocre. It will gradually be surpassed and abandoned by users!

However, under the influence of the media and the analysis of many professionals in the mobile phone industry, in the past five years, various mobile phone manufacturers that have been suppressed by Alcatel mobile phones feel that they can do it again, and feel that they can break their wrists with Alcatel mobile phones!

In particular, various mobile phone manufacturers, including Motorola, Nokia, Samsung, and Sony Ericsson, a new brand launched after the merger, have sold quite well of new mobile phones, which gave them the determination to replace Alcatel mobile phones.

Although the graphene mobile phone concept is hot, it has not yet become the mainstream. However, the 3G concept has been created by Qualcomm. Many mobile phone manufacturers, including Motorola, Nokia, and Siemens, have announced at the same time that they will launch 3G mobile phones. Obviously, it is going to be one step ahead of Alcatel mobile phones and take the lead in occupying the market.

Song Yang didn't care after watching the movement of the mobile phone industry. He just watched and let them toss. As for how many 3G mobile phones they can sell, it depends on their strength. Save the hassle of having an Alcatel phone!
As for who can become the overlord of the 3G mobile phone era, let’s wait until next year to see the truth, and see whether Nokia, Siemens, Samsung, and Sony Ericsson will take the lead first, or Alcatel mobile phones will continue to suppress the mobile phone industry for ten years!
Song Yang glanced at the newspaper in his hand, put it aside, and looked at other newspapers. Compared with other mobile phone brands, the Alcatel mobile phone, which has become "mediocre", is quite low-key after the release of P5 .

Most of the news that came out was how many engineers had been recruited, or that the Alcatel Mobile Phone Industrial Park in Yanjing, which is already the world's largest mobile phone production base, once again announced the development of a new phase of the project in order to increase production capacity.

When the Alcatel mobile phone industrial park was first built, it was planned to be the world's largest mobile phone industrial park base that can accommodate [-] employees. However, the construction period has just been completed for a few years, but the production capacity cannot be met, so a new production base can only be built again!
If the new phase of the project is completed, the Yanjing Alcatel Mobile Phone Industrial Park will become the world's largest electronics industry base, with a capacity to accommodate over 20 employees and an annual mobile phone shipment of [-] million units.

Theoretically, after the new Alcatel mobile phone production base is completed, it can meet the production capacity requirements of Alcatel mobile phones, but if other products under Alcatel mobile phones are added, including general appliances, Panda TV, Sega game consoles, TV set-top boxes, etc., the production capacity is still sufficient If it’s not enough, I don’t know. Anyway, after the news came out, the land next to Alcatel Mobile Phone Industrial Park in Yanjing was going crazy!

In addition to the expansion of production capacity, Alcatel's mobile phone has been reported by the outside world as the acquisition of the emerging operating platform Android. Regarding this acquisition, the media has only mentioned it in one stroke. They didn't think there was any fuss about this acquisition. As for changing the structure and history of the mobile phone industry, that’s even more ridiculous. Android is really so powerful, and other mobile phone manufacturers are not snapping it up. How can Symbian system be allowed to buy it!

There are constant news in the mobile phone circle of the technology industry in America, but the one that people like to hear the most is Oracle’s hostile takeover of PeopleSoft. President Craig Conway fuck off like a clown.

But it turns out that Larry Ellison was overthinking. Craig Conway broke out with amazing fighting power against his arch-rival Larry Ellison, which forced the acquisition into a quagmire. Craig Conway Conway was also preparing to start the poison pill plan, which completely disgusted Ellison, and the lawsuits also flew up. In many state courts, including San Francisco and Delaware, the two sides fought big lawsuits.

Craig Conway is also planning to bring Oracle to be buried with him, and to promote Oracle's acquisition of PeopleSoft, which will monopolize the database software industry, so he asked the Federal Department of Justice to sue Oracle for monopoly, and even went to Europe to ask the European Ministry of Trade to terminate Oracle's hostile takeover .

For these actions, the angry Larry Ellison continued to yell at Conway and greet his family, but the acquisition was also abruptly delayed. It has lasted for eleven months and there is no sign of ending. Oracle's The stock price has already fallen appallingly.

The newspaper in Song Yang's hand published the scolding battle between Ellison and Conway. This scolding battle has surpassed the scolding battle between Larry Ellison and Bill Gates. , in addition to scolding, Craig Conway also asked for help in the media, hoping that there would be a white knight to save PeopleSoft. The biggest targets for help were IBM and Microsoft, but although the two secretly supported PeopleSoft, they were not prepared. Go straight out and fight with Oracle.

After reading the newspaper carefully, Song Yang felt that PeopleSoft could delay a little longer, and that it was not at the end of its rope. However, in the face of constant attacks, Oracle, which was unstoppable even with the use of poison pills and anti-monopoly investigations, if there were no white knights If so, PeopleSoft may fall sooner or later.

And the sign that PeopleSoft is going to fail is Craig Conway, who was kicked out by the PeopleSoft board of directors. He is the biggest obstacle to this acquisition. If the PeopleSoft board of directors is going to drop, the first thing is to drive Conway away. , there is a step down, and then it is a matter of course to accept the acquisition.

Tapping the table lightly with his fingers, Song Yang felt that PeopleSoft needed to be left to air for a while longer, and let PeopleSoft and Oracle fight for a while longer. When both sides were running out of ammunition and food, then let Feita Company, which had begun to transform, swallow PeopleSoft !

This requires a mastery of the fire, not only to extract chestnuts from the fire, but also to ensure that the peach of Nishina has not been picked, but picking peaches is a risky thing, and there is no guarantee that nothing will go wrong.

However, for Feita Group, it is a good thing to get PeopleSoft. Shan Tianhua, no, we have to keep going, but one thing, Oracle will be Fortinet's biggest rival, and we must add obstacles to it. In the future, only one company, Fortinet and Oracle, can become the leader in the software industry!

After reading all the newspapers, Song Yang has a good idea of ​​the current technology industry in America. Generally speaking, the technology industry, including the Internet, is recovering, and it will take a long time to fully recover. Giant companies are the first to start recovering, and also the first to start acquiring rivals in the industry!

For Song Yang, this year is almost coming to an end. As Christmas is approaching, Song Yang will not do any tricks anymore. If he wants to do something, it will be after next year.

"There is no news from the Federal Department of Justice?!"

PeopleSoft's headquarters, as well as other companies, began to prepare for Christmas. When bonuses and dividends were about to be distributed, PeopleSoft was still in a state of panic. Who knows if they will change their employer tomorrow and be kicked out.

Craig Conway asked the legal department executive in front of him with an unshaven beard, and the person who was asked shook his head helplessly.

Seeing this, Craig Conway didn't bother to ask the courts of San Francisco and Delaware what was the progress there. PeopleSoft spent more than 7000 million U.S. dollars in public relations lawsuits, but PeopleSoft spent more than [-] million U.S. dollars. Oracle is not idle about money, and the public relations costs are several times that of PeopleSoft. Although PeopleSoft sued Oracle, they have not won the lawsuit for a long time.

If we continue to procrastinate, PeopleSoft must be the first to end. Originally, because of Oracle’s malicious competition and acquisition, other opponents also made trouble and snatched PeopleSoft’s market, which caused PeopleSoft’s performance to decline this year. The lawsuit has made PeopleSoft even more in debt now.

"Where is IBM, what's Palmisano's attitude?" Craig Conway asked the most critical question. Whether PeopleSoft can escape this catastrophe is not up to itself, but whether other giants are willing to save PeopleSoft died, and what IBM President Palmisano held in his hands was PeopleSoft's life-saving straw.
