Chapter 824
Chapter 824 The Endless Dirt
(ffff: You know!)
Originally, in the eyes of computer experts and scholars, they thought that Wu Cheng was just a computer layman.(.
.) At most, it is because he is a rich man and uses more computers than ordinary people, and is more familiar with ordinary people.
Indeed, as Wu Cheng said, from the advent of computers to the present, LANs have long appeared, that is, simple routers have long existed.
The original space-time really appeared two or three years later, and the Posack couple developed it in order to connect all incompatible computer LANs at Stanford University to form a unified network.
Then, the couple spent $50,000 to establish Cisco, the leader in routers. The company, which was founded with only $50,000, has lived up to expectations. After more than ten years of development, it has become one of the major giants in the North American i-industry.
However, in the late 1990s, the North American i-industry bubble appeared, and Cisco was also among them. Originally, Wu Cheng wanted to wait for this company to appear before purchasing it, and then wait until the i-industry bubble appeared before selling the company. After the i-industry bubble passed, we would buy it and re-owned it. In this way, we would definitely make a fortune.
After all, when Cisco first appeared, the couple took it a little insufficiently. At that time, if Wu Cheng had acquired it, the success rate would be quite high.
But now, since the founder of Cisco is right in front of him and they don’t have any ideas about this, then there is no need for him to wait for this day to come and just ask them to study this topic. I believe President Kennedy will be very willing.
Moreover, computer networks are just beginning to be young and not yet developed. The existence and growth of routers are not so sufficient. Many people have not yet realized how big business opportunities there are. I believe that even if they are researched, some people are still confused and don’t know how big the business opportunities there are.
Originally, when the couple developed this thing, they also did not realize how big the business opportunity this thing was... Tragically, the founder and wife of Cisco were eventually kicked out of the company by a group of Cisco directors. I have to say that this is really ironic.
However, when the Internet age comes, everyone will know how important and business opportunities are.
But at this time, President Kennedy obviously did not realize what kind of benefits such a topic could bring to Wu Cheng. In addition, looking at Wu Cheng's appearance, it seems that he had asked someone to study it, but he has never been successful.
Otherwise, how could he know so many things?
As a moviemaker, he not only has to make movies and write scripts, but also has to manage so many companies. He definitely has no time to study this!
Moreover, even if he doesn't agree, since Wu Cheng already has such an idea, who should I ask for research? It's not just a university in North America that has a computer department. Instead of doing so, it's better to agree and take the opportunity to establish a good relationship with this young rich man. When you have any requests for him in the future, it will be more convenient.
So Kennedy nodded and finally agreed.
Wu Cheng smiled and said, "As for the funding for the research project, I will pay additional payments. In order to avoid unnecessary disputes in the future, I also think it is necessary for us to sign a contract and make an agreement first... If the research funding is insufficient, you can take this contract and go to DreamWorks to find me."
Finally, Wu Cheng showed his fox tail. However, this approach is too common in North America and is used to it. Without the constraints of a contract, no one can guarantee his own interests. Although they don’t know how much benefit there is, Wu Cheng is a businessman after all, and he doesn’t want his own interests to be invaded. This idea is too normal.
Even if Wu Cheng doesn't say it, Kennedy will find an opportunity to propose it. After all, research projects require funding. However, Wu Cheng just donated 10 million yuan, and Principal Kennedy is embarrassed to raise research funds with Wu Cheng again.
Fortunately, Wu Cheng himself brought it up.
Kennedy felt that Wu Cheng was such a good person, and he actually thought of everything for them.
In fact, it was not only Kennedy who thought so, but most of the people who were following them were thinking so. Of course, some people think that Wu Cheng was just to gain fame.
But this is not important, Wu Cheng's goal has been achieved.
After visiting the Computer Center of the Computer Department, Wu Cheng stopped shopping, and it was too late.
Principal Kennedy held a cocktail party for Wu Cheng, and invited many celebrities and politicians, experts and scholars to accompany him. At the cocktail party, Wu Cheng directly handed a check of ten million US dollars to Principal Kennedy. Principal Kennedy took the check and generously praised Wu Cheng.
Then he popularized Wu Cheng's great achievements to everyone present, and ushered in awe of surprises. Finally, President Kennedy affirmed Wu Cheng's achievements and decided to award Wu Cheng an honorary doctoral certificate in economics and trade to Wu Cheng.
And this scene was recorded very well by someone using a camera.
However, this always gives Wu Cheng a bit strange. He always feels that he bought this PhD in Economics and Trade with money. Is this awkward feeling?
Wu Cheng didn't expect Kennedy to be so decisive in his work. What he said yesterday was that he had already prepared this certificate of honor, clothing props, etc. today.
This made Wu Cheng very suspicious. Do they often use this method to attract donations?
Stayed overnight in San Francisco. The next morning, Wu Cheng went to Oriental TV to visit and chat with Director Monterey, and then asked him to find a lawyer to draft an agreement.
Then he took the agreement and went to Stanford University again, and signed the agreement with President Kennedy, as well as experts in the field of computing such as Posack.
The content of the agreement is very simple. In his project, the research results belong to him, Wu Cheng, and the funds for researching this project are borne by Wu Cheng himself.
To this end, Wu Cheng donated fifty Apple computers to the School of Computing at Stanford University.
These fifty computers were transferred from Apple that night.
But at this time, Wu Cheng had already taken those agreements and turned around the seaside villa in Santa Monica, raised his wine glass to celebrate himself.
At this time, Lei Shidong also began to formulate a plan to acquire Viacom. Although it was working with Wu Cheng, and the leader was Wu Cheng. He only owned 40% of the company's shares, Lei Shidong still felt full of energy, as if he had a second spring.
Original time and space, he had no idea of starting a business again at this time. It can be said that these ideas were stimulated by Wu Cheng.
He is much older than Wu Cheng, but when he saw Wu Cheng's Dream Factory open, it rose rapidly afterwards, and now he has become a big company with assets of billions.
People who don’t know about this change don’t feel much, but he was greatly shocked when he became friends with Wu Cheng, which led to the idea of starting a business again.
However, he had no idea of competing with Wu Cheng for the best. After all, Wu Cheng was not a human being in his opinion, and no matter what company he founded, he had never failed.
It is precisely because of this that he wanted to bring Wu Cheng in and be able to own 40% of the shares in Wu Cheng's company. In Lei Shidong's view, he has already taken a big advantage.
Looking at all Wu Cheng's company, almost all of it is owned by him.
Moreover, most importantly, he will be the head of this company. Wu Cheng controls the general direction of the company, and he is the real executor.
At the same time, he didn't need to pay much money because he transferred the theater company to Wu Cheng, and the money he got from Wu Cheng was almost 40% of his shares.
In other words, he just transformed the theater business into a TV network.
Compared to the unchanging theater business, he felt that it would be much more exciting to do TV. Moreover, he also believed that TV will definitely become mainstream in the future.
Wu Cheng also agrees with this view.
Two days later, Lei Shidong took the plan and looked for Wu Cheng.
At this time, Wu Cheng was looking at the information about Victoria's Secret, a female underwear brand company. In Wu Cheng's memory, Victoria's Secret's headquarters seemed to be in Columbus, the capital of Ohio, but now, Victoria's Secret seems to be in San Francisco, California.
However, this will also make it easier for Wu Cheng to avoid going to Ohio again. You should know that California is still a bit far from Ohio, and it is almost no different from going to New York.
"Cheng, what are you looking at? This is my plan, you can take a look!"
Lei Shidong ran to Wu Cheng's side and saw Wu Cheng looking at the information in the hall, he couldn't help but ask. However, when he saw the information on the table, he was shocked.
"Oh my God! Do you want to acquire a brand of women's underwear?"
Wu Cheng did not avoid Lei Shidong. Speaking of which, although Victoria's Secret was famous in later generations, it was not so famous during this period.
At least Lei Shidong doesn’t think a female underwear brand can do anything!
"Sit!" Wu Cheng smiled and said, "It's just a company worth millions, which is not worth mentioning compared to your plan! However, this underwear brand company will definitely have opportunities to cooperate with our TV station in the future, which is also a small opportunity!"
"Oh my God! You're so far away!" Lei Shidong laughed and said at the end: "But I can't even understand why the women's underwear brands and our TV network have anything worth cooperating with?"
"The time is up, you will naturally understand!"
