MTL - Back To 1995-Chapter 1044 Golden cicada shelling

  Chapter 1044 The golden cicada escapes its shell

  America’s powerful people and rich people, the favorite way to increase their reputation is to donate money to communities, churches, and schools, and then media reporters report, simple and rude, and immediate results!

Of course, there are many ways to donate here. Some donations are direct money, and some are all kinds of wording, like Bill Gates, Buffett, and a robot at a hearing on Capitol Hill. They all threatened to donate most of their net worth.

The hype has attracted many overseas media to praise these "great benevolent people" and mock the local big dogs for their inaction, but in fact, the donations of people like Bill Gates are under the banner of charity. Cash out of Microsoft stock or directly transfer equity to the Gates Foundation established by itself.

As for the so-called charity business, Bill Gates has no right to ask whether to do it or not, and how much to donate. After all, he is a donator, and the decision must be made by the management of the Gates Foundation. melon…

  Whether others believe it or not, Americans believe it or not, as long as Bill Gates and others believe it, and overseas Chinese leeks believe it, that's enough.

   After the donation, no one cares about how much the foundation will distribute to the members of the Gates family every year, and how much tax will be avoided by using the name of the charitable foundation.

In the future, maybe Song Yang will also play some of the "Golden Cicada Escape Shell", using this method to avoid taxes and inherit his wealth to the next generation. In a place with such magical realism in Liga, is there someone doing something that is not beneficial? !

The Bruno Family Foundation is now a well-known charitable foundation in America. Of course, some people have gnashed their teeth and scolded this foundation, because in just a few years, donations have been made everywhere, and the annual donation scale has reached nearly 500 million The Bruno Family Foundation of Meidao, in private, the Bruno family has crazy land enclosure, has surpassed other old landlords, and is about to become the largest landowner in America.

Donating to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology is just an inconspicuous sum in the annual donations of the Bruno family. When the Bruno family wants to buy a certain farm or ranch, they will donate generously to the local municipal department, police station, fire department, etc. The Law Society, the Veterans Club, schools, hospitals and other departments donated, and after a few months, the land will be sold to the Bruno family. Of course, the Bruno family will not play empty-handed white wolves. Given a high amount of compensation, under normal circumstances, those farmers are happy to reach a deal with the Bruno family.

After all, apart from some so-called family inheritance, who would not want to live a life of luxury and debauchery in New York, don’t think that American farmers all yearn for an idyllic life, think about it, a farm with hundreds of thousands of acres, Just three or five people take care of it, and drive all kinds of machinery every day. If you want to go to the urban area, you have to drive for at least a few hours. Companies, insurance companies, slaughterhouses, gas stations, and taxation departments have been taken away. When encountering hurricanes, floods, etc., they may not be repaid and owe a lot of debt.

In recent years, why the land in the hands of Bill Gates, John Malone and others will become larger and larger. In addition to the ability to pay money, the life of farms and ranches is getting more and more difficult. Don’t go bankrupt too much, otherwise How could they circle so many lands.

But now, as long as you sell the farm, pat your **** and leave, you can get millions or even tens of millions of dollars, as long as you don't go to Silicon Valley and Wall Street to make troubles, and don't go to Las Vegas to give away the head, He can go to New York, Los Angeles and other big cities to spend time and drink. If he goes to overseas regions, he will live a more chic life than a god, so why not do it? !

  Compared to the dollars donated to MIT by the Bruno Family Foundation, the scholarships and honorary awards that MIT awards to Zhou Bailin every year are nothing.

   "I heard that you want to find an electronic robot company for an internship?!"

Song Yang asked Zhou Bailin. After all, he was the only child of the Zhou family and the Song family in America. Song Yang also paid close attention to this cheap cousin. Although he didn't send anyone to take care of him, every few months Ask once.

   Zhou Bailin went to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to study as a graduate student. Basically, he had to finish his Ph.D. and then return to Yangcheng. During this process, he definitely needed to participate in research projects.

Zhou Bailin was not surprised that Song Yang was aware of his movements. After all, he majored in electronic engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Many professors and doctoral research and development projects were in cooperation with Bell Labs, Alcatel mobile phone research and development department, PA Semiconductor, etc. Yes, as emerging technology companies, in order to compete with established technology companies, these companies are quite generous in funding, which makes many American universities willing to cooperate with companies such as Alcatel Mobile.

  Seeing the doubt in Zhou Bailin's eyes, Song Yang said with a smile, "You should have heard the name of MIT professor Mark Rayporter, he established a company called Boston Dynamics!

  In the past few years, this company has cooperated with the federal defense department to develop robots for delivering goods to the front line, but it seems that these cooperation projects have not performed very well. The federal defense department is reducing its investment in Boston Dynamics! "

   "Professor Mark Rayport!"

Zhou Bailin was a little surprised. He was no stranger to this big bull. There was also a chain of contempt in the academic circle. There was a saying in the academic industry that the gap between people was greater than the gap between humans and pigs. , is a true portrayal of the academic circle.

And in MIT, where there are so many geniuses, Mark Rayport was invited to become a professor at MIT after graduation. Being able to receive such treatment shows his strength. Like Stanford, Boston Dynamics was also born in MIT. MIT was spun off from MIT nine years ago.

Zhou Bailin is no stranger to this big cow. His most famous statement is to build robots into new species in nature. What kind of personality does a little old man in his fifties have.

Now in the world, there are only two places with the deepest research and development of robots, Japan Benzene and America. Japan Benzene is really willing to invest money, and has been preparing to use robots in industries such as industry and medical treatment to solve manpower shortages and costs. What an expensive question, the actual combat ability is very high, and most of the robots on the American side, including Boston Dynamics, were developing robots for the field of war in the past few years, but the effect was not very good.

Boston Dynamics also provided several robots for the federal defense department, and got some big orders, but the noise of the robots was too loud, and there was no concealment on the battlefield, and even the exposed position implicated people on the battlefield, which made Boston Dynamics The robot was quickly abandoned, after all, who wants to be a living target.

The robot industry sounds cool, and they are all hyping that they will enter human society in the future and become the most important auxiliary tool in human society, which can replace all kinds of heavy and repetitive heavy physical labor. , which is a concept...

  Including Boston Dynamics, it has also become a "mechanical pet" in the hands of giant companies. It is bought and sold because Boston Dynamics cannot be realized, and the robots it produces cannot be sold. The hype has died down for a while.

But this does not mean that electronic robots are really useless. Robots such as factory robotic arms, disaster relief robots, storage center robots, warehouse transportation robots and even electronic pets will appear in the future. No matter how much money it earns, it can enter this industry. The greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment, but there are some things that must be possessed. Otherwise, when the industry completely explodes one day, it will not even be able to enter the threshold of entry.

   "Alcatel Mobile, PA Semiconductor and Blackwater Security will jointly acquire Boston Dynamics. If you are interested, Bai Lin, you can join Boston Dynamics as an intern!"

Song Yang looked at Zhou Bailin and said, when you buy Boston Dynamics, you can't expect too much, just treat it as a technical reserve, as long as the robots it sells can support themselves with the dollars they earn, Song Yang Just satisfied.

  As for Zhou Bailin entering Boston Dynamics, the technology inside will be completely open to him. How much he can learn depends on his ability...
