Chapter 661

Listening to Howard Markov Baldrige's kind words, the people present were not very satisfied. It's too irresponsible. It's unthinkable that such words came from the Secretary of Commerce of the United States.

However, many people still admire Howard Markov Baldrige's wisdom and seem to have no responsibility. But the problem of the business sector has been thrown away, and no one will offend. I didn't see that all enterprises and colleges and universities were gearing up, and that one would not easily give up this opportunity.

Seeing this situation, olamp knows to find some respected entrepreneurs or principals to express some opinions. Although their views may not be so objective, at this time, government employees will not and dare not express their positions easily.

Olamp said with a smile, "everyone's view is to build an American technology Town, so let's look at the location. There are too many places in the United States suitable for building technology towns, but this is also our disadvantage. Energy and resources are always limited. Only by uniting can we make things bigger and better. "

"In the field of science and technology, after all, government staff can't compare with the experts and scholars sitting here. Therefore, I hope you can objectively talk about your respective views. First of all, let's invite Mr. Calvin of Motorola to talk about his views. Motorola's achievements in recent years are obvious to all. It must play a leading role in the construction of science and technology town. Therefore, Mr. Calvin is also requested to objectively explain the situation. "

Robert Calvin was not only happy but also worried when he heard the direct point to himself. The first speech is a good thing. At least we can express our opinions; However, when the gun hits the head bird, it is easy to become the target of attack.

However, for the benefit of Motorola, he still wants to fight for some opportunities for Chicago.

Robert Calvin said seriously, "many companies here are greater than Motorola, and many people know how to operate better than me. But now that I'm allowed to say a few words first, I'd better be respectful than obedient. "

"I think it's better to build a technology town in Chicago, although it's Motorola's headquarters. However, the Chinese have a saying that it is very good to hold a good position and not avoid relatives. In the long run, Chicago has the most obvious advantage. "

Chicago, located in the south of Lake Michigan, is the third largest city in the United States and one of the international financial centers in the world. Located in the center of the North American continent, Chicago is the largest business center and one of the largest futures markets in the United States. The number of new enterprises in its metropolitan area has always ranked first in the United States and has been rated as the most balanced economy in the United States.

On the surface, it is more appropriate, but everyone always feels strange. It may be said by Calvin that his instinct will be rejected. After all, it is best for Motorola to build in Chicago.

The president of the University of Chicago and the president of Northwestern University were very happy; If the technology town is really built in Chicago, it must be dominated by their two universities. At that time, Harvard, MIT and Stanford will be left behind.

Now that his attitude had been expressed, Robert Calvin knew he could only go on. If there is no data to support how to be convincing, we can only bite the bullet at this time.

Robert Calvin continued: "Chicago is in the center of the United States. It can be said that all kinds of resources can be used. That's why Motorola built its headquarters in Chicago. The surrounding universities are numerous, the education is developed, and the land area is large enough. At the same time, it is quite far away from the urban agglomeration on the East and west coasts. It is the most ideal place for a science and technology town. "

Although it makes some sense, Chicago is still worse than the New York Boston metropolitan area and the Los Angeles urban agglomeration. At least in higher education institutions, transportation and climate conditions are still much worse.

The University of Chicago and northwestern university do not rank so high in the United States, at least compared with the well-known universities on the East and west coasts.

In addition, Chicago is not close to the sea after all, and the lack of transportation is a short board. At the same time, the temperature in Chicago is cold in winter, and the climate is not very ideal.

Comprehensive analysis does not have many advantages, but Robert Calvin must still give priority to Chicago. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, he will try his best.

Seeing the following discussion, Robert Calvin knew that others would oppose it, but he didn't know who would open the mouth.

As the president's special envoy, olamp needs to coordinate the interests of all parties. After all, he came on behalf of the White House.

"Mr. Robert has a point, but we need to work together at this time," olamp said. Next, we should hear what Mr. Watson thinks; After all, technology towns need technical support from IBM. "

Little Watson himself was not very satisfied with Robert Calvin's speech in front of him, and then heard that the other party actually wanted to build a technology town in a place like Chicago where birds don't shit, so what should they be.

Now that it's his turn to express his views, Robert Calvin can't get what he wants. Before, IBM missed some development opportunities because of antitrust investigation. Otherwise, Apple has no chance to enter the personal computer market, so IBM has a big opinion on the Ministry of Commerce.

Little Watson also knows that now the black cloud group has risen, and IBM alone is certainly not someone else's opponent. IBM's most powerful industrial computer department still has a large gap compared with the sales of black cloud computers. Moreover, black cloud is not only a computer company.

Now, the black cloud group is about to establish a black cloud town. If it is not stopped, it will be OK in the future. However, the Ministry of Commerce has made it clear that it will not conduct an antitrust investigation on the black cloud group, so it can only rely on hard power to solve the problem.

Little Watson: "what Mr. Calvin said is reasonable, but there are too many excellent regions in the United States that are more suitable than Chicago. It can only be said that God is really good to us in America. I think we can choose to build a technology town in the New York Boston City Circle. "

"There are many well-known enterprises in the New York Boston urban agglomeration, and higher education is unmatched elsewhere. At the same time, as the most famous financial city in the world, New York can attract a lot of external funds to speed up the construction of science and technology towns. In addition, the land, sea and air transportation here is developed and the climate is pleasant. "

"MIT can provide technical support for the world's first Institute of technology, and Harvard has the world's most famous business school, which can provide a large number of management talents."

In any way, the New York Boston urban agglomeration is stronger than Chicago. But everyone knows that there is still no absolute advantage over Los Angeles. It may be more appropriate to build a technology town there. "

Seeing that everyone is fighting for the interests of their own enterprise, olamp really doesn't know what to say. This is the United States. People care more about their own interests. As for the country, responsibility and honor, they have little to do with them. At most, it is the enrollment slogan of West Point. How many people really do it.

Keith Norris, as the president of Stanford University, was very unhappy when he heard Calvin finish. Now little Watson came again. It's ridiculous to say that MIT is the world's No. 1 institution of technology. Have you asked them, and MIT has to cooperate with the black cloud group, which is selling collective interests. If the technology town is built near such a school, it will be a disaster for the whole of America.

So before Orlando had said anything, Keith Norris stood up and said, "it's ridiculous. Why should we say that MIT is the world's first Institute of technology, then what are Stanford and Caltech?"

"At the same time, without MIT, we don't have to bother to meet here. Without MIT's support, black cloud group and baozixuan can threaten American industry and technology. And I heard that they still have two laboratories to be built in heiyun town; Can we trust such a school? "

"In any case, Los Angeles is the most suitable place, and Silicon Valley is definitely the ideal location for a technology town. In many words, I don't need to say more. No place in China is more suitable than silicon valley in terms of land area, climate conditions, number of enterprises and strength of colleges and universities. "

We all know that a good play will be staged when we hear the roll call to MIT directly. But it's strange that MIT didn't seem to hear any refutation. Where is their relationship with heiyun group and baozixuan? Too much explanation is a cover up.

At this time, everyone has their own ideas, that is, to really build a technology town in the New York Boston City Circle, other universities and enterprises will not cooperate. It's better to see what the White House means. It's bad to say too much.

MIT's strategy itself is not wrong, but many times it won't let them do it.
