Chapter 1715 Godfather of Eastern Silicon Valley
Wang Lin and his party stayed in Toronto for five days. They waited for Zhou Boqiang to fully recover before heading to the United States.

During this trip to the United States, Wang Lin and the others' destination was Silicon Valley.

This is the last stop of Wang Lin's global investigation.

Wang Haiyang has worked here before and is no stranger to Silicon Valley.

So this trip was arranged by Wang Haiyang.

After checking into the hotel, Wang Lin had a meeting with Wang Haiyang, Han Qingning and others.

Wang Lin looked at Wang Haiyang: "Yangyang, you are familiar with Silicon Valley, please introduce it to everyone!"

Wang Haiyang nodded and talked about the history and current situation of Silicon Valley.

Silicon Valley, located in the south of the San Francisco Bay Area in the metropolitan area of ​​northern California, is another name for the Santa Clara Valley where high-tech businesses gather.Silicon Valley was the first place to research and produce silicon-based semiconductor chips, hence the name.

Here is the kingdom of the electronics industry and the computer industry. Although the United States and other high-tech areas in the world are constantly growing, Silicon Valley is still the pioneer and center of high-tech innovation and development in the world. The venture capital in this region accounts for the total venture capital in the United States. one-third of.

A century ago, it was still an orchard, but since the headquarters of high-tech companies such as Intel, Apple, Google, Facebook, and Yahoo settled here, many prosperous towns have emerged.In just a few decades, Silicon Valley has produced a large number of technology tycoons.

硅谷拥有大大小小电子工业公司达10000家以上，他们所生产的半导体集成电路和电子计算机约占全美1/3和1/6。

After the 20s, as research institutions for emerging technologies such as biology, space, ocean, communication, and energy materials emerged in the region, Silicon Valley objectively became the cradle of high-tech in the United States.

Wang Haiyang said: "It can be said that if there was no Silicon Valley, there would not be so many high-tech companies in the United States. The earliest Fairchild Semiconductor Company originated here. Now well-known companies such as Intel and AMD are all People from Fairchild came out and created it."

Han Qingning said: "Fairchild is like the seed of a dandelion, which developed into Silicon Valley. It is true that when a whale falls, everything grows."

Wang Haiyang said: "Qingning is right, that's how it is."

Wang Lin said: "If our country wants to develop the semiconductor industry, it also needs a Silicon Valley!"

Zhou Boqiang said with a smile: "Wang Dong's words are right, and he has given a prescription for the development of semiconductors in our country."

Wang Haiyang said: "Yes, if our country can also have a Silicon Valley, then our country's semiconductor industry will be able to develop. But, how easy is it?"

Wang Lindao: "One man with aspirations is invincible! A man who does not show his ambition is born with an eight-foot body. The Silicon Valley of the Chinese begins with me, Wang Lin!"

Everyone was shocked!
Only then did they realize that Wang Lin wasn't joking.

Zhou Boqiang said: "Wang Dong, if you really have such lofty ambitions, that is the blessing of our country's semiconductor industry!"

Wang Haiyang said: "Wang Dong, do you want to build an oriental Silicon Valley in Shencheng or in Shencheng? Aixiu Technology is located in Shencheng, but I heard that my country's 909 project is mainly in Shencheng."

Zhou Boqiang said: "Yes, Director Wang, isn't it better for us to follow the 909 project? Why don't we move Aishiu Technology to Shanghai?"

Zhou Congee said: "Wang Lin, you put Aixiu Technology in Shencheng at the beginning because there are many young people there, and it is relatively easy for companies to recruit talents. But in my opinion, our Shencheng has more talent advantages, and the universities in Shencheng How many! Fuda University and Jiaotong University are famous schools with a century of history, and they are full of talents.”

Wang Lindao: "I admit that my thinking at the time was indeed flawed. But I thought that these two cities are very suitable for the development of Eastern Silicon Valley. Aixiu Technology does not need to relocate, we will build an Eastern Silicon Valley in Shencheng. Silicon Valley!"

Zhou Boqiang said: "Wang Dong, in every aspect, our Shencheng is no worse than Shencheng."

Wang Lin understood what Zhou Boqiang and Zhou Porridge meant. If such a large investment was placed in Shencheng, it would be a plus for Zhou Hanmin's future promotion.

But Wang Lin still insisted on his original choice.

"Aixiu Group is in Shencheng, and Aixiu Technology is in Shencheng. I think this is a reasonable layout." Wang Lin said, "There is no need to discuss this matter."

Zhou Boqiang nodded and said, "Okay!"

Wang Lindao: "We want to build the Eastern Silicon Valley. It is not something that can be done overnight, nor can it be done by our own company. I have an idea. We will build a technology city in Shencheng, and then provide opportunities to attract young talents to go there. Start a business at the same time and form an industrial chain, so that the semiconductor industry can be truly developed.”

Zhou Boqiang said: "Director Wang, what opportunity do you mean? Provide funds to young people or provide technology?"

Wang Lindao: "I want to set up a venture fund to invest in the projects I like."

Wang Haiyang smiled and said: "Wang Dong, then you are an angel investor! You will definitely become the godfather of semiconductors in our country! Aixiu Technology will also become the cradle of my country's semiconductor industry just like Fairchild Semiconductor Company!"

Wang Lin waved his hands and said with a smile: "It's far away!"

Han Qingning said: "I think Chairman Wang's act of setting up an entrepreneurial foundation is far more meaningful than setting up a company by himself. There is no shortage of semiconductor talents in China, but they lack an opportunity to start a business."

Wang Lindao: "Speaking of talents, I want to give you a task. Especially Haiyang, you have worked in Silicon Valley, see if you can recruit some talents to our company? Your old classmates, old classmates, who have I welcome anyone who wants to change jobs.”

Wang Haiyang said: "Wang Dong, it's fine, I'll contact them and try to bring as many people as possible."

Wang Lin looked at Mianbo: "President Mian, you also have a task."

Mianbo said: "Please tell Wang Dong."

Wang Lindao: "The semiconductor industry needs a lot of patented technologies. Take Zhou Porridge and others to visit various companies in Silicon Valley and talk to them about the sale of patents. I want all the patented technologies related to memory chips!"

Mianbo said: "Okay, Wang Dong."

Zhou Congee said: "Wang Lin, in fact, we don't have to spend money to buy many patented technologies, do we? Just use them directly? Who can hold us accountable?"

Wang Lin laughed and said, "Zhou Congee, thanks to the fact that you are still the vice president of our Aixiu Group, how can you say such a thing?"

Zhou Congee said, "I don't believe that every technology used by Americans has patent rights?"

Wang Lindao: "Patents also have a time limit. Within the time limit, if we use other people's technology, we should pay the corresponding money. This is respect for the inventor of the patent and respect for intellectual property rights."

Mianbo said: "The trend of embezzlement is prevalent in the country, which is indeed very serious. No wonder Zhou always has such thoughts."

Zhou Porridge said: "That's right! We use it if we don't know about it! Why waste the money?"

Wang Lindao: "If we are just doing small things, or if we just want to develop domestically, then your idea is feasible. However, if we want to become a world-class big company and our products want to be sold globally, Then we have to follow the rules."

Zhou Congee said: "We can use these technologies first, and it will not be too late to discuss patent rights when we grow stronger. Maybe by then, these patents will be free? I know about intellectual property rights, but buying Licensing or acquiring patents is a huge expense! Can't Aixiu Technology save a little in the early days of its business?"

Wang Lindao: "What we need are patents that are useful to us. The semiconductor industry has been developing for so many years, and most of the patent rights are in the hands of foreigners. If we want to make achievements in this industry, we cannot avoid patent rights. This expense is precisely the last thing we can save."

Zhou Porridge couldn't say no to Wang Lin, so he had no choice but to give up.

Wang Lin arranged everyone's work and said, "We will stay in Silicon Valley for about ten days. You should hurry up and complete your tasks."

Zhou Congee glanced at Shen Xue and asked, "Is Shen Xue not working?"

Shen Xue pursed her lips and smiled: "That's right, I'm the only one who didn't arrange work!"

Wang Lin said lightly: "Shen Xue's job is to follow me, I have other arrangements!"

Shen Xue said: "Okay."

Zhou Porridge gave Wang Lin a blank look, and the meaning in his eyes was hard to describe.

Wang Lin didn't care about her opinion and immediately announced the end of the meeting.

Silicon Valley has a great reputation. In the imagination of the world, it must be a place like a paradise, at least a metropolis full of tall buildings, right?
actually not.

There are no wide avenues under the palm trees here, only the 101 highway blocked into dogs.

You may even be surprised by the urban-rural fringe-style buildings of major technology companies.

Zhou Boqiang and others feel that this place is not even as good as Shencheng!
Wang Lin and his group were definitely not the only tourists who were "trapped" by the famous Silicon Valley.

Those who move to Silicon Valley often ask themselves, "Why am I here?"

In Silicon Valley, notorious for its lack of public transportation, having a car is definitely more important than having a girlfriend!

In New York, you can choose subways and buses; in Silicon Valley, if you want to have a meal with friends or go to a Chinese supermarket to buy groceries, you basically have to drive.

However, when you accidentally drive your car into the city, that is San Francisco, yes, Silicon Valley is such a big city, then you can only cry looking for a parking space.

Isn't there a high-rise parking lot?Yes, but the $15-$20 per hour price tag for a parking spot is probably more expensive than your meal.As a result, finding a cheap on-street parking space has become a headache.

Wang Lin even felt a little regretful, did he really want to live here for ten days?

Fortunately, he was accompanied by Shen Xue.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to stay here for even a day.

The next day, Wang Lin and his team started working in Silicon Valley.

Those who recruit people recruit people, those who dig through the walls of the wall, those who look for patents look for patents.

Wang Lin and Shen Xue were not idle either.

They have the most important task of this trip.

Wang Lin is going to visit several big companies in Silicon Valley.

Let's take a look at the big companies in Silicon Valley: Apple, Oracle, Intel, HP, Microsoft...
