Chapter 661 (1/2)

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.
