Chapter 191 Gold Swallowing Beast

Song Yang and Stanzen signed a number of cooperation agreements, including the joint research and development projects between the two parties, the products, technologies, patent ownership and other issues arising from the research and development, mainly Song Yang invested money, and Bell Labs was responsible for research and development.

As for whether this cooperation is a loss or an advantage, it will take time to answer.

Looking at the agreement in front of him, Song Yang also felt a little bit pained. As for this agreement, after signing, it means that this month, Song Yang will throw close to hundreds of millions of dollars to Bell Labs.

This is just the beginning, and we may not spend so much money every month in the future, but as the project cooperation begins, at least tens of millions of dollars will be spent every month, and it cannot be terminated, otherwise it will be in vain. In the next three years, the more projects Song Yang and Bell Labs cooperate with, the more dollars will be spent!
It's nothing more than that the Telephone and Telegraph Group is unwilling to raise this gold-swallowing beast. It's too expensive. If it wasn't for a large amount of cash from American Telephone, Song Yang would not dare to get involved in research and development no matter what. field.

If you don't have any family background, if you don't develop something about this thing, I'm afraid you'll have to take it all in.

But with the support of Bell Labs, Song Yang has a top-level R&D team in his hands. He doesn't need Song Yang to go all over the world to poach people. He can directly get a full-level R&D team. This is not something that time and money can buy. The one I got, although it is a bit expensive, but just like what Stanzen said, a group of future Nobel Prize candidates will work for the industry in Song Yang's hands, what more bicycles do they need?

During this trip to Bell Labs, Song Yang also gained a lot, such as video and voice patented technology, convolutional neural network, new generation digital high-definition TV patents, etc., as well as the research and development team of Bastian Clay and Yang Likun , although these things cannot be realized immediately, but someday in the future, they may be of great use, but still the same sentence, you have to burn money!

When he came out of Bell Labs, Ulf was already waiting outside. Song Yang looked back at Bell Labs. There are many good things in this lab, but he wants to get them and even support this lab. , Song Yang needs to have one or even several money printing machines in his hands.

Coming this trip, Song Yang's biggest feeling is that, with Song Yang's current worth, it may not be enough for Bell Labs!

In the future, Songyang will build many laboratories and R&D bases. Once it enters the mobile phone industry, it will also put some R&D bases and production centers such as panels and chips in Tianchao. This is in response to Wall Street's call to reduce Cost increases benefit!

"Go to Long Island!"

After getting in the car, Song Yang said to Ulf that Jenny chose a small villa in Long Island.

The traditional places where luxury houses gather in New York are Manhattan, Bronx, Queens, Long Island and other places. The rich people on the east coast basically gather in these places, while the west coast is California, Silicon Valley, Hollywood and other places. Of course, there is also Bill Gates, who is in his own school. He is in Seattle. Where there is the richest man, that is the place where the old white money is most sought after in the world.

The car drove all the way to Long Island. Compared with Manhattan, Long Island is naturally farther from the center of New York.

It was getting late. As a real estate agent in New York, Brody took Jenny to see the houses in Manhattan, the Upper East Side, Brooklyn and other places. He was not dissatisfied. Facing Jenny, Marcus, Hai When Li, Gallo and others met, they still had smiles all over their faces.

"Pool parties can be held here!" Gallo said to Haili after taking a bite of the pastry that Brody had specially sent from the star hotel.

Hearing Gallo's words, Brody was busy serving pastries to Jenny, and said, "This residence is the largest residence on the North Shore of Long Island, and it can accommodate a hundred people to hold a party here!"

"Miss Jenny, what do you think of this manor?!" Brody tested Jenny's tone.

If it was an ordinary house inspector, Brody would certainly not be so attentive, but the few people in front of him were different. Brody had already found out who the real buyer was this time.

During Song Yang's time, there has been quite a stir in New York. The media has not reported Song Yang's news once or twice, especially this time America Telecom, it is even rumored that Song Yang has received a huge amount of money. Brody doesn't know the rumor Whether it is true or not, but it is certain that Song Yang is definitely one of the biggest customers he has seen this year!

"I feel good, but..." Jenny, who has been around New York, is quite satisfied with this small estate. Although it is not as expensive as the Upper East Side of Manhattan and Fifth Avenue, it is Compared with those villas, this manor is much larger in area, and the environment is much better. It's just that the current group of Wall Street and bank figures don't care much about Long Island, and they like to nest in the Upper East Side.

Jenny took a sip of coffee, glanced at Marcus who was in charge of evaluating the price, and then asked Brody, "What's the price of this house?!"

When Jenny asked about the price, Brody immediately said, "2150 million dollars..."

"How many?!"

Before taking a sip of coffee, Jenny coughed suddenly. Regardless of these things, Jenny asked Brody with her eyes wide open. She knew that this small estate might cost a lot, but it cost more than 2000 million U.S. dollars , still startled Jenny.

In Houston, this price is enough to buy half a building. Jenny’s family is considered middle-class, and the price of the house she can live in does not exceed 30 dollars. This small manor is worth [-] houses that Jenny’s family lives in up.

Marcus didn't seem to react too much. He was still drinking a cup of coffee when he heard the offer.

Gallo and Hailey, who heard the movement, walked in. After hearing the quotation of the house, they couldn't help but gasped. Last year, Gallo and Jenny were still crowded in the broken apartment in Houston. However, today they chose a mansion worth 2000 million US dollars. Although they didn't buy it, it still shocked the two of them.

"Of course, if you really want to buy this house, our company will give some discounts, free insurance and some decoration, and you can also pay in installments..."

It’s the 90s now, it’s not the era when the money printing machine was turning into a paper mill, and a mansion worth 2000 million dollars can’t be traded every day in New York. People who can buy such a mansion in New York will definitely be hyped by the New York media According to reports, which old money has come to New York.

While talking, Jenny, Brody and the others heard the sound of cars outside, and Jenny immediately ran out.

Seeing this, Brody straightened his clothes immediately, with a smile on his face, and walked outside. He knew whether he could sell this house today, I'm afraid it would depend on who came this time.

As soon as Song Yang got out of the car, Jenny threw herself into Song Yang's arms. Song Yang looked at Jenny and said, "I wasted a little time on the road, how does the house look like?!"

"Fortunately, it's just..." Jenny said tangledly, the 2000 million dollar house was really beyond her imagination.

"Mr. Bruno Song," Brody came out, and saw that the person who came was indeed Song Yang, with a wider smile on his face, "I am Brody, a real estate agent, and I am very glad to be of service to you!"

Song Yang took a look at Brody's business card, nodded to him, and then looked around at the small manor.

Seeing this, Brody immediately said to the youngest American upstart in front of him, "This house is the largest house on the North Shore of Long Island. It is 25 miles from Manhattan and covers an area of ​​8 acres. It was built in 1928, but After many renovations and expansions, it has the scale it is today!"

Song Yang walked into the house with the main stone structure, but the interior was modernly decorated.

"This residence has 18 bedrooms in total, and the rest of the swimming pool, home theater, gym, solarium, etc. are all available. There is also a main garden in the residence, which is dominated by tulips and media, and there is another one at the back that can accommodate two people. A private dock for a [-]-foot yacht!" Brody said to Song Yang vigorously.

Song Yang looked at the small manor in front of him. Compared with Bill Gates' mansion in Seattle, it must be far inferior, but in New York, it is rare to see a residence of this size and a private dock. Well, in a few years, the value of this house may not be certain, but the land and the private pier must be very valuable.

Song Yang went upstairs to have a look. The facilities of this house are definitely not as good as those newly built houses in Manhattan, but overall it is quite good.

There is a glass balcony on the second floor of the house, which was obviously left behind by the previous builder. Standing on the balcony, Song Yang can have a panoramic view of the surrounding scenery.

When Song Yang came down from upstairs, Brody looked closely at Song Yang, wondering how Song Yang would make a decision.

"How do you feel?" Song Yang first asked Jenny with a smile, and Gallo on the side also listened with pricked ears.

Jenny, who was leaning on Song Yang, nodded to Song Yang, and said in a low voice, "It's just too expensive!"

Song Yang turned to Brody and said, "What price?"

"2150 million dollars, but Bruno Song, if you want to buy it, I can ask the company and the seller for instructions..."

"2000 million dollars, I can buy it in cash!" Song Yang said directly.

"2000 million U.S. dollars, I'm afraid it's a bit..."

Brody, who was still about to haggle over the price, came back to his senses at this moment, his eyes widened suddenly, and he couldn't believe his ears, and then he said immediately, "Mr. Bruno Song, I will report to the company immediately!"

Looking at Brody who ran outside to make a phone call, Song Yang looked at Marcus, and asked Marcus to come today to evaluate, so as not to suffer from boredom.

"The price is a bit expensive, but the price of this kind of luxury house in Long Island is increasing at a rate of 15% every year, and we will never lose money in the future!"

Marcus said to Song Yang, Song Yang has such a large amount of cash in his hand, if he doesn't invest it, he is basically losing value. Buying this small manor, regardless of whether he earns or not, is almost equivalent to preserving its value.

In less than 5 minutes, Brody ran into the house again, and said to Song Yang, "Mr. Bruno Song, this house can be signed at any time. The seller will rush back to New York tomorrow, and all procedures will be completed tomorrow at the earliest!"

A cash payment of 2000 million US dollars is rare even in New York. The seller of this house can get cash and does not need to wait a few years to take all the money away. How can he not be active.

"Song, we should hold a party here, in the Bruno family's mansion!"

Seeing that Song Yang was really going to take down this mansion, Gallo immediately cried out. He was much more excited than Song Yang, but he had never tried to hold a party in this kind of mansion.
