Rebirth of America, this is my time

Chapter 14 Learning Valve

Well, Ethan admitted that there were many things that he really couldn't do alone.

If he were to go it alone, Ethan believed that as long as he was willing to spend time researching or find someone to make it, the game "Snake" would definitely come out, but what about the subsequent copyright issues? Then you can only go to a law firm to find a lawyer to solve the problem.

Although he believes that the copyright registration issues related to video games can also be solved by spending money, he also firmly believes that the lawyer hired by the money will never play with the laws like Ms. Barbara Babcock.

As for the reason?

Ethan felt that it could be described with a sentence he heard in his previous life.

"You never know how awesome your college teacher is."

Universities are a place with hidden dragons and crouching tigers, and top universities are even more obvious. Countless talents gather here and control countless resources, so they attract countless people who would rather squeeze their heads to come here.

Although Stanford at this time is not yet a world-famous school in the future, if I have to describe it, in the eyes of the public at this moment, they are just a century-old school in California that wants to become a world-class school. But Ethan knows that Stanford in this era may be the most exciting moment in the history of Stanford's development, because they are unswervingly running on the road of school-enterprise co-construction plan.

The so-called school-enterprise co-construction plan has two steps.

The first step is to attract outstanding external companies to set up factories and provide students with learning and employment opportunities.

The school leases land that cannot be sold to the outside world at low prices to companies, and in return, they must give priority to recruiting Stanford students when recruiting. This plan has attracted many high-tech companies to come here, including Lockheed. .

Well, to be honest, just relying on discounts such as land rent reductions and exemptions would not attract many people to set up factories at Stanford, but why was it that the person who invited companies to the company at that time was Fred Terman, the vice president of Stanford?

Fred Terman is one of Vannevar Bush's protégés!

He is also the teacher of the founder of HP!

When he came forward to ask for help, which company would dare not to give him face?

It is precisely because of his strong personal connections that top scientific research institutions and production companies gathered at Stanford in a short period of time. After he solved the student employment problems and school scientific research problems, the second step was to encourage students to start their own businesses. Then it appeared.

The school will provide technical guidance to every student who wants to start a business, and open the on-campus laboratory to students who want to start a business for free. When students have needs, teachers who guide entrepreneurship will provide help and solve problems as soon as possible. Students who give back and achieve success will also try their best to help the school when they achieve success in their careers.

The most famous player here is actually Google.

When Google started, they encountered funding problems. They asked the school for help, and the school called SUN for them. The founder of SUN spent five minutes listening to Google's idea, and then directly offered ten A check of 10,000 US dollars helps students start their own businesses. Later, Google was rushing all the way in the technology field, and when SUN failed to challenge Microsoft, most of SUN's engineers, on the advice of Stanford, directly changed companies and joined Google next door, and among them was the CEO of Google. Eric Schmidt.

In fact, Stanford's rise is inevitable because they are playing the tricks of a school.

And this kind of imitative behavior makes people inside love it to death, and makes people outside hate it with gnashing of teeth.

But that's not important, right?

Although Ethan did not enter Stanford, it would be nice to have one in the family!

Evelin is his sister!

Isn’t it a crime to not use such a close resource for nothing?

And after seeing Ethan admit his mistake with a slippery kneel, Evelin felt that she had won and was very happy.

He grunted twice and asked this stupid brother to send him to the engineering college.

At the same time, she also asked Ethan to pick her up from school at five o'clock in the afternoon.

Since the two of them came in a car this morning, Ethan readily agreed, but when he said goodbye to Evelin, another question popped up in Ethan's mind that puzzled him.

“Evelyn—” yelled Ethan, who was sitting in the cab of the Chevrolet.

"Is something wrong?" Evelin, who had just taken two steps, came back.

"Uh-huh." Ethan nodded, frowned and asked, "If I remember correctly, you graduated this year?"

"Yes, I will get my diploma next month. What's wrong?"

The affirmative answer made Ethan even more confused. He gestured with his hands and said, "You are going to get your diploma next month? Then why do you still have classes now? Is it because you haven't completed the credits?"

Yes, this is what Ethan finds strange.

Evelin was born in 1954, which is exactly one year older than Ethan. She also applied for college one year in advance. Now, Ethan has worked for three years, which means Evelin has gone to college for four years. Then In this case, how could she still have classes?

Ethan didn't understand.

The confused expression made Evelin smile and bend down, leaning directly against the car window.

"Hey Ethan~ You are really stupid like this~"

Evelin tilted her head and said with a smile: "Why should I take classes? It's very simple, because I want to continue my graduate studies!"

"Didn't I tell you before? Our family doesn't need us to make money for the time being, so if I have time, of course I will use it to improve myself!"

"According to normal circumstances, I will graduate next month and re-enroll in September, but I am very familiar with this place. I have chosen my teachers in advance, and they welcome me to join the research group at any time, so..."

Evelin shrugged, looking very relaxed and happy.

"So that's it?"

This was the first time Ethan heard about Evelin going to graduate school.

However, considering the cold war relationship between the two, Ethan felt that it was normal for the original owner of the body not to know.

"Hmm, do you have any more questions?"

Evelin snorted lightly, then pointed behind her with her thumb and said: "If there is no problem, I will leave. My appointment today is with Mr. Wenton. I originally wanted to choose his graduate student, but he told me , he may not be able to stay at Stanford for long, so I have to seize the time to ask him some questions."

"Oh, by the way, he is the teacher who I told you 'knowledge is neutral' last time, and he is the one who helped me make an appointment with Barbara today."

"Then he's a really good guy. Okay, go ahead and don't keep people waiting." Ethan, who had already gotten the answer, said with a smile.

"See you in the afternoon then?"

"See you in the afternoon."

Under Ethan's watchful eye, Evelin entered the teaching building of the School of Engineering, first greeted a few guys who looked like classmates, and then stopped in front of a room on the third floor.

She knocked on the door, and then a man in his thirties appeared in Ethan's sight.

This guy is wearing a suit and tie.

Perhaps because most of the hair follicles grow on his face, he still has a beard while having a Mediterranean look.

After seeing that it was Evelin, he enthusiastically turned sideways to let Evelin in.

Following his movements, Ethan suddenly felt a flash in front of his eyes.

A dazzling light made Ethan instinctively close his eyes.

When he opened it again, the classroom door had been closed.

"Is this Teacher Wenton? Isn't he too young?" Ethan murmured to himself while sitting in the car.

After learning that the teacher Evelin was going to meet today was the guy who had helped him, Ethan wanted to know who this warm-hearted and good man was.

And after he sees it...

It's actually quite common.

He looks ordinary, has a thin body, and has no special features.

This situation made Ethan feel a little regretful.

He thought that a guy who could be friends with a great lawyer like Barbara would be a genius!

If it's a big shot you recognize, then you have to hug him no matter what.

After all, there are only a few roads to success, either having a good father or having a good leg.

"Alas! What a pity!"

Note: ① Vannevar Bush: A national treasure-level scientist in the United States. He founded the National Bureau of Science during WW2. He was one of the three approvers of the Manhattan Project. He was the founder of Raytheon Company. He directed the U.S. hydrogen bomb test. He was listed on the website. The moon flight led to the establishment of the National Science Foundation and the Advanced Research Projects Agency. Fred Terman, the vice president of Stanford and the father of Silicon Valley, is one of the three most proud students of this god. The other two are Claude Shannon, the father of information theory, and the American computer pioneer, who was the first to promote Perry Crawford Jr. of digital computers. To be honest, it is impossible for Stanford to fail to develop after embracing such a fairy. ②The Stanford endorsement of Google written in the article is just an ideal world promoted by the media. The reality is that Stanford endorsed Google because Google founder Sergey Brin’s then-girlfriend, later wife, and now ex-wife Anne Wojcicki's father, Stanley Wojcicki, is the chairman of the Stanford Physics Department and a consultant to the High Energy Physics Laboratory in the United States. The high energy physics advisory group he led did something very impressive in 1983, which was to build the SSC. , that is, the Superconducting Super Collider. Although the project was eventually canceled, Stanford was in the limelight at the time because the plan was to lead the establishment of the SSC under the leadership of Stanley Wojcicki, chairman of the Stanford Physics Department. When Stanford needed to build its reputation in academic circles, Sergey Brin’s father-in-law took the lead and went straight to the job.
