Back To 1995

   Chapter 189 The skinny camel is bigger than a horse

Song Yang didn't mean to deceive Stanzern on purpose, but as a last resort. In the past few years, the scientific research level of Bell Labs has declined sharply. It can be said that the Telephone and Telegraph Group and Lucent Group are not interested in Bell Labs. , it can also be said that the research funding is not enough.

   But I haven't researched anything, and I'm taking my own money. This is an uncompromising fact!

The current Bell Labs seems to be caught in a vicious circle. The less the funding, the more it can't develop anything, the more it can't develop anything, and the less the sponsor is willing to invest. The final result may be the closure of Bell Labs. Daji, this former scientific research holy land was bought by a real estate developer to build a villa for sale!

  Scientific research is a very metaphysical thing. When countless researchers spend countless funds, nothing may be developed in the end, but sometimes, things that change the times may be developed unintentionally.

   But one thing is for sure. When these researchers feel conflicted and think that they are being treated unfairly and that the research and development has no meaning, they will definitely not be able to develop anything.

Bell Labs now has a tendency to fall into this state. The actions of the Telephone and Telegraph Group and Lucent Group have made the Bell Labs staff feel resistant, not to mention foreign workers, but basically It is almost regarded as a nursing home, which is one of the reasons why less and less things have been developed in recent years.

  Song Yang didn't want to. He invested so much money in Bell Labs, but in the end he didn't develop a single one, and it was all lost.

  So, Song Yang told Stratzern that he came to cooperate with Bell Labs, not like the gang of robbers who came to Bell Labs to rob things, he came to help Bell Labs restore its glory!

  When cutting leeks, you also need to pay attention to the method and method. You can't cut hard. It's okay to cut hard once or twice. You can cut it every day.

Song Yang cut the leeks of Bell Labs, it can't be called cutting, it can only be said to help Bell Labs, "Dr. Stanzern, now companies such as American Telecom, ICQ, and Double-click, can't afford the funds provided by Bell Labs. Much, but I promise it's only temporary!"

"America Telecom, ICQ, etc., are willing to bear all the costs of cooperating with Bell Labs. In addition, in the future, after the cooperative projects are profitable, they will provide more than 10% of the profits as Bell Labs R&D funds, and will not interfere with Bell Labs. use these funds.”

Song Yang's words are very clear, Bell Labs has to fatten up the industry in Song Yang's hands first, so that Song Yang can feed Bell Labs and provide it with enough research and development funds, allowing Bell Labs to develop what it wants to develop. !

  Stanzern's heart shook when he heard Song Yang's words. Regardless of whether Song Yang was fooling him or not, Statzern has not heard anyone willing to consider Bell Labs' own wishes for many years.

  Telephone and Telegraph Group, Lucent Group, and several other local Bell companies want to know how many new products and technologies Bell Labs has developed, how many patents have been applied, and how much money these things can make, and the rest don’t care at all.

   Originally, Bell Labs was divided into two parts. One part of the staff developed theories, mainly in physics, chemistry, and materials. They developed the most advanced scientific research theories.

   On the other hand, some of the experimenters developed new products based on these theories, and the two sides complemented each other. As a result, because those who develop theories cannot make money, the Telephone and Telegraph Group has stopped providing funds to those who have developed theories.

   As a result, Bell Labs is like a headless fly. Bell Labs, which was originally ahead of the times and led the trend of science and technology, didn’t know what to develop at all.

   "Bruno Song, right?"

Stanzern looked at Song Yang with a serious face. He also knew that Song Yang might be bullshitting, but Stanzern had no choice. He could only bet that after betting Song Yang, he might become a new Bell Labs employee. Investors.

   Continue to follow the Telephone and Telegraph Group and the Lucent Group. Stanzern understands that Bell Labs is really doomed. With a new owner, maybe Bell Labs can still hope to survive.

"Scientific research is a very private matter. No one can predict which side of the dice thrown by God will land next. We all hope that Bell Labs will continue to develop new products and technologies, but in fact , Bell Labs fails to develop more products every year, I just hope that you can give Bell Labs more patience in the future!"

   "Also, I would like to know, when will I be able to see, Bruno Song, the day you become an investor in Bell Labs?"

Stanzern's eyes were fixed on Song Yang. Stanzern is not good at those crooked things. It's not that he can't, he just doesn't want to use it. Right now, Stanzern wants Song Yang to make a statement. When will he realize what he said? All that, Bell Labs will not give him white jobs all the time.

"Within three years, I will let America Telecom, ICQ and other companies invested in it replace the Telephone and Telegraph Group and Lucent Group as the main investors of Bell Labs, and within six years, I will let Bell Labs take back the demolition. The separated experimental personnel and equipment make Bell Labs a whole again!"

   Knowing that if he doesn't give Statzern a promise today, he probably won't get the support from Bell Labs at all, so Song Yang can only give an answer.

   But this is not a hoax. Within three years, if the industries that Song Yang has invested in can become successful, it may be difficult to support a Bell Labs, but it is not impossible.

   If it doesn’t work in three years, then there’s a high probability that it’s out of the game. No matter how much time is given, it’s probably not going to happen.

Stanzern was silent for a while. Three years happened to be in his tenure as president of Bell Labs, and six years were just the last year of his tenure. Stanzern was ready to take a gamble. If during his tenure, It can completely solve the troubles of Bell Labs and make Bell Labs a whole again, so many infamy Stratzern is ready to be memorized!

   laughed with a sigh, and Stratzern knew that he would be infamous next time. "Song, I hope that six years later, we can still sit here and talk about Bell Labs!"

   "Follow me, I hope Bell Labs has what you want."

  Stantzern got up and said to Song Yang, taking Song Yang to the laboratory in the corridor.

"This is Bell Communications Laboratory, this is Dr. Bastian Clay, the world's best expert in IP, Internet voice, Internet video, the current global IP standard, Dr. Clay proposed to let the IEEE Association customized!"

Stanzern first brought Song Yang to the communication laboratory, and he was a top tycoon in Internet infrastructure. Seeing Bastian Clay, Song Yang understood, what is a skinny camel than a horse? When I get older, I understand why other companies always miss Bell Labs and want to empty it.

The ghost knows how many good things Bell Labs should be hiding. Anyway, when Song Yang saw Bastian Clay, he wanted to dig him up to ICQ. With him, ICQ's voice and video technology , at least three years ahead of other companies!

"Dr. Bastian Clay," Song Yang said to him, looking at the tall and thin Bastian Clay in front of him, "I think Dr. Stanzern has already told you, I hope America Telecom and ICQ can cooperate with your laboratory to jointly establish a communication voice and video laboratory, and the funds will be fully borne by me!"

Bell Labs has a deep foundation in the field of voice and video. As early as the 1960s, it played a video phone. It doesn't need to say more about this thing. It will be ten years later when the era of smart phones arrives. , the so-called mobile phone video calls became completely popular, and this is what Bell Labs left to play half a century ago.

Hearing Song Yang's words, Bastian Clay was obviously a little moved. Now that Bell Labs' funding is tight, Clay is also seriously affected. There are even other colleges and laboratories that have already asked Bastian. Clay extended an olive branch and was willing to build an audio-visual video laboratory for him. If he could cooperate with Song Yang, Bastian Clay would not have to leave Bell Labs.

Not only Bastian Clay, but also many other Bell Labs titans had to leave the academically free Bell Labs because of the severe lack of funding, which has seriously affected their experiments. Gotta eat!

Seeing Bastian Clay's gaze, Stanzern nodded, and Clay immediately reached out to Song Yang, "I have no problem here, but I hope to get some brand-new equipment. The equipment is no longer able to carry out the latest experiments..."

   "No problem, I will let America Telecom and ICQ buy the latest experimental equipment for you, Dr. Clay." Song Yang made a direct ticket.

When Song Yang heard that Bastian Clay is also a director of the IEEE Society of Electrical and Electronic Engineers and the Signal Processing Society, Song Yang's eyes moved immediately, "Dr. Clay, I think the IEEE Society should implement a set of communications With the voice and video standards in the Internet field, we cannot allow this field to develop in a disorderly manner..."

The IEEE Association, with more than 400,000 members worldwide, is the largest professional technical organization in the world. In other words, if a technology has passed the technology and standards recognized by the IEEE, this technology preparation is the only one in the world, unless you want to follow IEEE works against it, otherwise any company in the world must comply with the implementation of IEEE standards. In other words, other companies using this technology must pay the company that holds this technology!

   Hearing that Song Yang started to fool Bastian Clay, Stanzern couldn't help but sighed and raised his eyebrows. He now has a feeling that Bell Labs welcomes Song Yang, I'm afraid I really don't know what it will become in the future...
