Chapter 165 (1/2)
”Billy church, from Dubai, have you got in touch?”
”Contact well, the day after tomorrow to see the design drawings!”
”Great, it's time for us to develop!”
”Ha ha ha, yes, we are going to be the most famous designer in the world!”
”Cheers!”
”Cheers!”
From time to time, happy laughter came from the big room of the villa. Unfortunately, they didn't know that they had caused trouble and offended the most terrible people in the world
……
……
The next day, Adams arranged for Tom Wright and several outstanding young designers to fly to the United States.
Henry just came to work for Cisco. John Chambers came to Henry's office to report to him about the establishment of the school!
Is it worth spending a billion dollars a year building schools? In Henry's opinion, it was worth it!
In the first few years, due to the limited number of schools, the number of places was also limited. If the employees of Cisco want to enjoy the free welfare of their children's school, they must compete with many employees. Only those with excellent performance can get this opportunity, which can undoubtedly greatly stimulate the enthusiasm of employees!
However, this is the second.
Henry's main purpose of establishing the school is still that sentence: brainwashing should start with dolls!!!
Henry spent a lot of money to build the school. Whether it's the faculty or the learning environment, it will give people the impression that the school built by Cisco is very powerful. Naturally, when Cisco will set up more schools and recruit students, American parents will not rush to send their children to the schools established by Cisco?
More schools, more students. Henry can publicize his company and products in school and brainwash them all the time, such as online shopping, Nicholas shopping, ICQ chat software, IMDB cinema and so on. Even in the future, Henry will set up Facebook. If he promotes it in his school a little, won't it become popular immediately?
In the future, the school will become one of Henry's most important propaganda positions.
What's more, to build a school, the capital needed at the beginning is relatively high, and the expenditure after that is a drizzle for Cisco! In addition, schools are not without profit-making means. First, they collect money from foreign students; second, they receive government assistance; third, they donate money from all walks of life
In the United States, it is a very common phenomenon that rich people or companies donate money to schools.
One is for tax avoidance, the other is for reputation.
With so many companies under Henry's name, if we don't find a way to avoid taxes, is it cheaper for the US government? There are too many advantages for the donated money to build a school and expand its influence. It's hard to say
”Chairman, we have set up the Cisco education fund, and the school construction project is ready to start at any time!” John Chambers handed Henry a copy of the information and said, ”at present, 100 locations have been selected in the United States for the construction of schools, and they have the support of the local government. This is the specific information of the location and the budget of each school!”
Henry answered and picked up the information.
After a few minutes, Henry looked up at chambers and asked, ”how do you solve the teacher's problem?”
”Dig people!” John Chambers spits out two words.
After listening to John Chambers' reply, Henry said with a smile, ”well, it's a good way to dig people!”
”In addition to digging people, we also cooperate with comprehensive education schools. The excellent teachers they cultivate will be given priority to the schools established by Cisco! Of course, we will donate a sum of money to their school to show our sincerity! ” John Chambers added.
”Money is not a problem, the key is to get talent!”
Henry said, ”we Cisco should also set up a teacher training institution to reserve talents.”
”Understand, I will set up such a training organization!” John Chambers replied.
Henry put the paper on the table and said slowly, ”the school we built should also be named...”
”Chairman, I think Williams school is better...” John Chambers took a look at Henry and suggested.
This flattery is very useful. Henry had a smile on his face!
Because American education includes three stages: primary school, middle school and higher education, the general school organization form is 6-3-3 system, that is, from the first grade to the sixth grade is primary school, from the seventh grade to the ninth grade is junior high school, and from the tenth grade to the twelfth grade is senior high school. Therefore, the school Henry wants to build is divided into Williams primary school (including kindergarten) and Williams middle school (including junior high school and senior high school).
As for the University, only one will be set up!!!
What Henry wants to build is a school that can compete with Harvard, Stanford, Cambridge and other world-class universities, so naturally, we need to keep improving and focus on building!
So, Henry said: ”well, the name of the school is called Williams school. According to the grade, it is divided into Williams primary school and Williams middle school. Because there are too many schools, the schools all over the country are called Williams primary school or XX Branch of high school, so that the name will not be repeated! Finally, as for the establishment of Williams University, it is not urgent now. When the time is ripe, I will design this school myself! ”
”Well!” John Chambers nodded.
”In order to make the children of Cisco employees feel grateful to our company, I think it is necessary for them to know that Cisco provides them with the opportunity to read for free. So, I think we should make them pray one minute before the first class every morning. We should be grateful to God, to Cisco, and to all the people who help them... ”
Henry said, with a faint smile on his face. That's the first step of brainwashing! Hitler was able to brainwash the whole of Germany. He only brainwashed the students in his school. Compared with him, he is still willing to be inferior!
Then Henry said, ”all Williams schools have only Vice Principals. As for the post of principal, I will take charge of it all. In my opinion, this can strengthen the unified management of the school, which is conducive to the future development of the school
John Chambers nodded with approval.
Henry thought to himself that after he became the principal, he had a great influence. When Jiang Jieshi became the principal of Huangpu Military Academy, he was forced to support him by a group of students!!! I don't want to be such a bull. I just think that if I want to be the president of the United States on a whim one day, I'll shout, ”support the president!”!!! Support the principal
In order to thoroughly brainwash the students, Henry thinks that he can make some slogans in the school in the future, such as ”be proud of the principal, learn from the principal!”, This slogan is right, he is the richest man, is absolutely worthy of learning! Once the slogan said more, it will have a deep sense of admiration for themselves, brainwashing effect will come out!
”That's it for the time being!” Said Henry to John chambers.
John Chambers nodded and said goodbye to Henry.
……
……
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Tom Wright arrived in Los Angeles. Henry sent someone to take him to San Jose and put him in a hotel for the time being. The future arrangement, let him this designer along with the manor site selection team, can choose a good manor location for Henry!
As for the Williams Center site, it is currently under negotiation with the local government.
Because the area is too large, there are more than two million square meters. Although it is a little remote, it is still in California Silicon Valley at least. Therefore, the land price is still too large, and it needs 500 million US dollars!
Henry is not willing to spend 500 million dollars to buy land, because this land is not a prime location, it is not pleasant to say, it is a wilderness. The local government is obviously blackmailing. It thinks Henry is a rich man with money
On that day, the government sent someone to talk to Henry.
Since learning that Henry needed that piece of land to build the headquarters cluster, the local government was very enthusiastic and sent people to Henry's side for negotiation. But in terms of price, he refused to give in at all. It's just a stone in the toilet - it's smelly and hard! Henry was almost fed up with it. This time they came again. Henry decided not to talk about it this time. He made a gambling agreement to kill them!
”Hello, Mr. Williams!”
”Hello, Mr. Brent Barrett, mayor of San Jose!”
Henry in front of this suit straight middle-aged man is the mayor of San Jose, more than 1.9 meters tall, very gentlemanly manner, but it is said that he once played NBA basketball! Henry invited him to his office and asked his secretary to make a cup of coffee for Brent Barrett.
”Mayor Barrett, it seems that nobody wants to buy that piece of land except me now. Why can't you make it cheaper? ”
Brent Barrett, smiling and unmoved.
”You know, this land covers an area of more than two million square meters and is located in Silicon Valley. It will definitely be developed in the future!” Brent Barrett sipped his coffee and said with a smile, ”so, 500 million dollars, it's not expensive at all!”
”Mayor Barrett, how many years will your so-called development wait? Five years? Ten years? ” Henry said with disdain.
