Chapter 5293: Showing Off Wealth without Limits
Great value for money!
Just look at this page of Tesla notes, the $5 billion is worth every penny! At this moment, Lin Feng felt as sweet as eating honey. He was cheated by that Meric before, which made Lin Feng feel unhappy. I have been fooled sometimes. But now it seems that this is called a blessing in disguise.
"Mr. Moore, are you going to work in this building now, or somewhere else?" Lin Feng asked.
Now that everything has been acquired, construction will naturally start. It would be good for everyone to develop superconductors as soon as possible. Moreover, if superconductors are really developed, the conversion rate of their own "solar energy" will be infinitely close to 100%. That would be extremely terrible for the utilization of solar energy. In addition, superconductor technology can also be used in solar cells.
Of course, it seems that there is no existing technology category in the world that cannot utilize superconductors. This is world-changing technology.
"Let it be here. Although Shockley is very annoying, after all, we are inheriting his diary for follow-up research and development. We are also standing on the shoulders of giants for research, so let it be here. Although we will not praise him He will definitely be very angry in heaven, so let’s borrow his place so that he won’t be too angry in heaven!” Gordon Moore joked.
Lin Feng nodded.
Immediately, with Lin Feng's squandering of large sums of money, the whole building suddenly looked brand new. Then Gordon Moore would buy, buy, buy all kinds of equipment. As for equipment, Lin Feng was never stingy. Let’s talk about personnel. Lin Feng left it entirely to Gordon Moore. certainly. At the same time, Lin Feng also signed a contract with Gordon Moore. As the main researcher of the newly established 'Aeolus Superconducting Laboratory', Gordon Moore also serves as the general director of the laboratory. Gordon Moore has the final say in everything within the laboratory. Before he develops superconductors, Lin Feng only needs to give him a symbolic salary of US$1 per year.
After all, for Gordon Moore, he has already become famous and has more money than he can spend in his lifetime. This is why he agreed to Lin Feng to create this laboratory. One of the purposes is to respond to Intel's "people leave with cool tea", and the second is for superconductors. In the world of superconductors, there is a saying - whoever masters superconductors controls the future of mankind.
Of course, Gordon Moore does not want salary, but the staff he invites still needs to be paid. As for this, Lin Feng is very generous, basically starting with an annual salary of US$100,000, and giving it to everyone. After successful research and development, 5% of the overall profit will be distributed as dividends. certainly. Gordon Moore also has an additional 5% profit share and naming rights, which means that once a superconductor is invented, it will be announced in the name of Gordon Moore, not Lin Feng.
You must know that, generally speaking, the ownership of inventions and creations in such laboratories not only belongs to investors, but also
Including reputation. Just like Edison, so many inventions in his laboratory are attributed to him, not to the real researchers. However, Lin Feng gave Gordon Moore fame and fortune, which made Gordon Moore very satisfied.
Because, just in this early stage, Lin Feng spent 12 billion US dollars in equipment funds for this studio. Counting the investment in other aspects, Lin Feng spent nearly 20 billion US dollars this time. . And it’s hard to say how much funding will be needed for subsequent research and development. No one knows, and no one knows whether it can be successfully developed. In this case, it makes sense for both ownership and reputation to belong to the investor. Unfortunately, Lin Feng gave in.
He gave it up very generously. This pleases Gordon Moore and his team.
"Boss, you should be considered my boss now. I propose that you can also acquire another company, which is Fairchild Semiconductor!" At this moment, Gordon Moore was sincerely working for Lin Feng.
Such a generous boss, famous and profitable, naturally has to work harder. Although Gordon Moore is now 79 years old, he is still very healthy and very ambitious. This is different from the Chinese. After the Chinese are 60 years old, they just want to take care of themselves. However, most Westerners are 70 years old and still have the ambition to start a business. To express it with a slogan in the fitness industry, that is - it is never too late to start a business!
In fact, Gordon Moore's best R&D partner is Noyce. He believes that Noyce would be very excited if he had the opportunity to develop superconductors. Unfortunately, in 1990, Noyce died of a heart attack while swimming in a swimming pool. Gordon Moore has lost his best partner. Today's team is his previous team. Many people have left Intel, but more teams have been retained by Intel. And now, he is still sending people.
And 'Fairchild Semiconductor Company', the company he once co-founded with Noyce and others, is the best acquisition target. Because today's Fairchild Semiconductor, which was once the representative company of Silicon Valley and known as the "Cradle of Silicon Valley Talents," has been bought and sold five or six times. The entire Fairchild Semiconductor Company has almost become a commodity. In this case, Lin Feng acquired it without any difficulty.
Indeed, as Gordon Moore expected, Lin Feng only spent 230 million US dollars to acquire this ruined semiconductor aristocrat, and the entire Silicon Valley did not make any move. Because Fairchild Semiconductor has been acquired and resold too many times over the years, and everyone has gone from being shocked at first to being accustomed to it now, and Silicon Valley has become numb. Therefore, there is no expression of Lin Feng's acquisition this time.
If you are willing to acquire it, then acquire it. Even if you acquire it today and sell it tomorrow, we don't care. Because we have become accustomed to it.
"Boss, thank you!" Gordon Moore sighed after Lin Feng acquired Fairchild Semiconductor. After all, Fairchild Semiconductor was created by them, and they led it to glory, but it fell because of them. If he could help it, Gordon Moore would naturally be willing to do so.
"Everyone, I believe that this will be the last time that Fairchild Semiconductor will be acquired. You will no longer be sold like a commodity like in the past 20 years. This time, we will create glory together!" Gordon Moore said loudly.
Although the people of Fairchild Semiconductor have never met Gordon Moore, they all know him. After all, he is the legend of Fairchild Semiconductor. They never thought that they could work with this legend!
"And this time, our research and development goal is superconductors. Of course, I believe that everyone has enough knowledge about superconductors and knows how difficult it is. It is almost an abyss that can swallow all funds. But this time, we have a very wealthy sponsor, a real sponsor. Now, please invite our boss, Mr. Lin to come on stage!" Gordon Moore said with a smile.
Sponsor! Sponsor with a lot of money! For all scientific researchers, what do they desire most? It is a sponsor with a lot of money! Because scientific research is the most expensive, not to mention all kinds of expensive equipment, the loss of various precious materials in the experiment is also a considerable expense. Moreover, your experiment does not mean that you will definitely succeed! This is the most critical. If the scientific research is destined to succeed, then anyone will invest in it. But if the scientific research is destined to fail, then you need a wealthy investor, otherwise the investor may give up when you are about to succeed, and your scientific research results will be buried.
Lin Feng is naturally the sponsor that everyone dreams of. But everyone doesn't know whether he will be willing to spend money on superconductors!
"Everyone, I don't want to say more. Superconductors are a difficult problem that humans must overcome. And I have 128 billion US dollars in my account now! And I am willing to spend this 128 billion US dollars on superconductors! So, what I want to say is, please use your intelligence to overcome this problem. Money, don't worry about it! Because I have never been short of money! Even if this 128 billion US dollars is spent, it won't bubble up, it's okay, I still have more 128 billion US dollars to spend! Until the end of your life, I have no shortage of money!" Lin Feng's words, although brief, and there is no technical content, even very vulgar, completely naked show of wealth, show of wealth without bottom line.
No shortage of money! Until the end of your life, I have no shortage of money! Is there any more bottom-line show of wealth than this? But for these scientific researchers, they like it, they like such sponsors the most.
"Boss is mighty!" Everyone screamed, shouting for Lin Feng's wealth and Lin Feng's dollars. They like such sponsors!
"Okay, Gordon, I'll leave this to you." Lin Feng patted Gordon Moore on the shoulder and then left.
Gordon Moore was slightly surprised. This was the first time he knew that Lin Feng was so generous. With such a boss, perhaps this superconductor might be possible.
"Guys, let's get started!" Gordon Moore roared, and then the 'Aeolus Semiconductor Laboratory' started working at full capacity to fight for superconductors!
At this moment, Intel Corporation.
"Humph, he wants to develop superconductors, which is simply a foolish dream! And that Gordon Moore, he is really confused, and actually brought Lin Feng to acquire his company, which is simply a fool! Intel, will definitely make the world tremble!" Many shareholders of Intel gnashed their teeth. They must make Lin Feng regret coming to 'Intel' to propose to acquire 'Intel' to humiliate them!
(ps: CRRC's stock price plummeted recently, and I personally suffered heavy losses. I hope that none of my readers have purchased CRRC. This so-called Chinese magic car is simply a Chinese hearse! I heard that someone in Xiangjiang Century City in a certain city jumped off a building because he bought CRRC! Alas, Chinese stock investors are all being played with!) To be continued...
