"Billy Church, from Dubai, have you contacted yet?".

"Get in touch, look at the design drawings the day after tomorrow!"

"Great, it's time for us to develop!!!"

"Hahahaha, yes, we are about to become the most famous designer in the world!"

"Cheers!!!"

"Cheers!!!"

From time to time there was a smug laughter in the big house of the villa, but sadly, they didn't even know that they had caused trouble to the upper body and offended the most terrible person in the world...

...

...

The next day, Adams arranged for Tom Wright and a few more outstanding young designers to fly to the United States.

Henry just came to work at Cisco. John Chambers came to Henry's office and reported to him about the establishment of the school!

Is it worth spending a billion dollars to build a school every year? In Henry's view, it is worth it!

In the first few years, due to the limited number of schools, natural places were also limited. If Cisco employees want to enjoy the free benefits of their children's schooling, they must compete with many employees. Only employees with excellent performance can get this opportunity, and this can undoubtedly greatly stimulate the enthusiasm of employees!

However, this point is second.

Henry's main purpose for establishing the school is the same sentence: brainwashing starts with a doll! ! !

Henry spent a lot of money to build a school. Whether it is the teaching staff or the learning environment, it will leave people with a very impressive impression of a school established by Cisco. Naturally, when Cisco builds more schools in the future and recruits students. American parents are not rushing to send their children to the school established by Cisco?

As there are more schools, there will be more students. Henry can then promote his company and products in school. Brainwashing them all the time, for example, shopping online to Nicholas Shopping Network is the safest. Use ICQ for chat software, go to IMDB theaters to watch movies, etc. Even in the future, Henry will set up Facebook. If he promotes a little in his school, he won’t be popular right away?

In the future, the school will become one of Henry's most important propaganda positions.

What's more, to build a school, the capital required from the beginning is relatively high. The subsequent expenditures were drizzle for Cisco! Besides, the school is not without profit means. One is to recruit students and collect money, the other is government assistance, and the third is that people from all walks of life donate money and so on. There are so many methods...

In the United States, it is a very common phenomenon for wealthy people or companies to donate money to schools.

One is for tax avoidance, and the other is for fame.

Henry has so many companies. If you don't find a way to avoid taxes, is it cheaper for the US government? The donated money is used to build schools and expand their influence, which has too many benefits. I really can't say...

"Chairman, we have established the ‘Cisco Education Fund’, and the school construction project is ready. You can start at any time!" John Chambers handed a piece of information to Henry, said. "At present, one hundred locations have been selected for the construction of schools in various parts of the United States. And the support of the local government has been obtained. This is the specific information on the site selection and the budget of each school!"

Henry responded, picked up the information and looked at it.

After a few minutes, Henry looked up at Chambers and asked, "How do you solve the teacher's problem?"

"Digger!!!" John Chambers spit out two words.

After listening to John Chambers’s answer, Henry was really "very friendly" and couldn't help but smile: "Well, the way to dig people is good!!!"

"In addition to digging people, we also cooperate with comprehensive education schools. The excellent teachers they train will be given priority to the schools established by Cisco! Of course, we will donate a sum of funds to their schools to show our sincerity!" John · Chambers added.

"Money is not a problem, the key is to be able to get talent!"

Henry said, "We at Cisco also have to establish a teacher training organization for talent reserve!"

"Understand, I will set up such a training institution!" John Chambers responded.

Henry put the documents on the table and slowly said: "The school we build should also have a name..."

"Chairman, I think it's better to call Williams School..." John Chambers gave Henry a look and suggested.

This flattering is very useful. Henry smiled unconsciously on his face!

Since education in the United States includes three stages: elementary school, middle school and higher education, the general school organization is a 6-3-3 system, that is, from the first grade to the sixth grade for the elementary school, and the seventh to the ninth grade for the junior high school. , The tenth grade to the twelfth grade are high schools. Therefore, the school Henry wants to build is divided into Williams Elementary School (including kindergarten) and Williams Middle School (including junior high and high school).

As for the university, only one will be established! ! !

What Henry wants to build is a school comparable to the world's best universities such as Harvard, Stanford, Cambridge, etc. Therefore, it is natural to strive for excellence and focus on building!

So Henry said: "Also, the name of the school is called Williams School. It is divided into Williams Elementary School and Williams Middle School according to grades. Because there are too many schools, schools everywhere are called Williams Elementary School or Williams Elementary School. Middle school XX branch school, so that the name will not be repeated! Finally, as for the establishment of Williams University, it is not in a hurry. When the time is right in the future, I will personally design this school!!!"

"Yeah!" John Chambers nodded.

"In order to let the children of Cisco employees feel grateful to our company, I think it is necessary to let them know that Cisco has provided them with the opportunity to study for free. Therefore, I think the first lesson every morning One minute before the class, let them pray, be grateful to God, be grateful to Cisco, be grateful to all those who help them..."

Henry said, with a very faint smile on his face. This is the first step in brainwashing! Hitler was able to brainwash the whole of Germany. He just brainwashed the students in his school. Compared with him, he is still willing to go downhill!

Then Henry said again: "All the schools in Williams School only have deputy principals, as for the position of principal. I will take all of them. I think this can strengthen the unified management of the school. It is conducive to the future development of the school!! !"

John Chambers didn't doubt he was there, and nodded in agreement.

Henry thought in his heart. After becoming the principal, Jiang Jieshi became the principal of the Whampoa Military Academy, and he became so powerful. A group of students supported him, and he was just arguing! ! ! Don't be so arrogant yourself, just thinking, in case one day comes on a whim and you want to be the president of the United States, just say so. There will be a group of people across the United States shouting: "Support the principal!!! Support the principal!!!"

In order to completely brainwash the students, Henry felt that in the future, he could make some propaganda slogans in the school, such as "Be proud of the principal, learn from the principal!" This propaganda slogan is justified, and he is the richest man and is definitely an object worth learning for them! Once the slogan is spoken too much, it will have a deep sense of admiration for oneself. The brainwashing effect is coming out!

"That's it for the time being!" Henry said to John Chambers.

John Chambers nodded his head and said goodbye to Henry.

...

...

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Tom Wright arrived in Los Angeles and Henry sent someone to take him to San Jose. Temporarily arrange to stay in a hotel. In future arrangements, he, the designer, can choose a good location for Henry with the manor site selection team!

As for the plot of land in the Williams Center. Currently negotiating with the local government.

Due to the large area, there are more than two million square meters. Although it's a bit remote, it's still within California's Silicon Valley. Therefore, the purchase price of the land is still too large, and it needs 500 million US dollars!

Henry was reluctant to spend half a billion dollars on land, because this land was not a prime location, and it was not a good place to say it, but it was a wilderness. The local government was obviously blackmailed, believing that Henry was a rich man and rich...

On this day, the government sent someone over to talk to Henry again.

Since learning that Henry needs the land to build the headquarters cluster, the local government has been enthusiastic and sent people to Henry's side to negotiate in two days. But in terms of price, they refused to give in at all. It was a stone in the toilet-smelly and hard! Henry was almost annoyed. They came again this time. Henry decided that he didn't want to say more this time, and made a gambling agreement to cheat them!

"Mr. Williams, hello!"

"Hello, Mr. Brandt Barrett, Mayor of San Jose!"

The middle-aged man in a straight suit in front of Henry is the mayor of San Jose. He is more than 1.9 meters tall and has a very gentle manner. However, he is said to have played NBA basketball! Henry invited him to his office and told his secretary to make Brandt Barrett a cup of coffee.

"Mayor Barrett, that piece of land, it seems that no one wants to buy it now except me. Why can't you make it cheaper?"

Brandt Barrett smiled 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!" Brandt Barrett took a sip of coffee and smiled, "So, five Million dollars is not expensive at all!"

"Mayor Barrett, how many years do you have to wait for development? Five years? Ten years?" Henry said disdainfully.

Brandt Barrett smiled, sloppy and said: "Silicon Valley is developing rapidly. Who knows when it will be here? Maybe five years, maybe three years, maybe next year, this is not necessarily true!"

"Mayor Barrett, let's stop talking nonsense, just give me a bottom line, can you lower the price?!"

"Of course the price can be lowered, but..."

"Don't but, just say how much you can drop!!!" Henry waved directly and interrupted.

Brandt Barrett couldn't help but hesitate when he saw Henry's face that you would shoot twice without lowering the price. If the land is not sold to Henry, there is really no other buyer. Because it is too far away from the city, it will cost a huge amount of money to develop, and the risk is too great. If it is screwed up, it will be lost! ! !

Seeing that Brandt Barrett did not speak, Henry said indifferently: "Perhaps, I should find another place to build the Williams Center!"

When Brandt Barrett heard this, his heart was tense, his expression serious, as if he had made a major decision, gritted his teeth and said: "400 million dollars, absolutely can't be less!!!"

Henry shook his head, "It's still too expensive! Let's do it, how about we gamble?"

"Right bet?" Brandt Barrett was taken aback for a while, then he sobered up, and the gambling agreement was in Silicon Valley. Not unfamiliar at all. Countless startups will sign gambling agreements with investment companies, so that both parties will compromise each other!

"How do you want to bet?" Brandt Barrett asked.

Henry smiled. Said: "It's very simple. I bet that as long as I take that piece of land. Then all the surrounding land will rise wildly. After half a year, the price of the land will be at least double the original price!"

With that said, Henry looked at Brandt Barrett playfully, and said lightly: "After half a year, if the price of the surrounding land rises five times as I said, then you will sell it to me for 300 million US dollars. ; On the contrary. I will buy you that piece of land for 500 million US dollars!!!"

When Brandt Barrett heard this, his eyes lit up, and it sounded like it would be beneficial to his own side no matter what, especially when the surrounding land price rises five times, the government can make more money! After a little thought, Brandt Barrett said: "I will go back to discuss this matter with you, and then I will notify you!"

Henry smiled and said, "Okay. Then I will wait for your decision!"

Henry didn't scare Brandt Barrett with a tough attitude. The cunning Brandt Barrett was definitely unwilling to agree to gambling. Whatever the gambling, the land could be sold for 500 million dollars anyway. The surrounding land prices can also rise...

Brandt Barrett returned to the government, held a meeting to vote and discuss it, and more votes agreed to the gambling agreement.

Subsequently. Brandt Barrett called Henry.

"Mr. Williams, after voting and discussing. We decided to accept your gambling agreement!"

Henry had expected that Barrett and the others would agree to a gambling agreement. I was mentally prepared at this moment, so I didn't seem surprised, and said lightly: "Okay, then I will go over and sign with you now!"

"it is good!!!"

Hanging up the phone, Henry stood up, ready to go to San Jose City Hall. Twenty minutes later, Henry came to the door of the city hall! At this time, Brandt Barrett and others have greeted them.

Henry exchanged a few words with them, and under the leadership of Mayor Barrett, he walked into the building. Then came to the meeting room, Brandt Barrett took out the agreement to show Henry, Henry checked it carefully, and after thinking that there was no problem, he signed a gambling agreement with the City of San Jose!

After signing the agreement, Henry smiled and said, "Hehe, I think it won't take long for you to be shocked!!!"

After speaking, Henry turned and left.

Back at the company, Henry wrote a mass email to all the companies under his name, expounding the vision of the Williams Center in detail, and ordered them to cooperate with Henry in the future! ! !

The next day, Henry held a press conference in his own name.

For a time, reporters gathered.

At the press conference, Henry was dressed in a suit, dressed up very mature and stable, and there is a kind of domineering that has been in the top for a long time! He slowly walked to the stage, and suddenly, the flashlight flashed wildly, and a group of reporters in the audience were so excited and inexplicable, they rushed to shout Henry's name, wanting to ask him a question!

Henry ignored him with his right hand, only slightly raised his hand and made a quiet gesture.

As soon as the reporters saw the gestures, they were quiet and exchanged eyes with each other: "Get ready, Henry is going to talk again! I don't know what news that will shock the world this time?!!!"

The reporters' ears have been pricked up, their left hand is holding a notepad, and the right hand is holding a pen. They are ready!

Henry was on the stage, seeing them like this, really dumbfounded!

"Ahem..." Henry only cleared his throat, but saw a reporter's right hand subconsciously move two strokes in the audience.

Henry was speechless, you don't need to remember this...

After correcting the microphone, Henry said: "Today's press conference is held, I will only speak a sentence or two!"

As soon as Henry finished saying these words, the audience was agitated, but immediately everyone looked at Henry attentively, ready to hear what he would say!

Henry said loudly: "There is a Rockefeller Center in New York, and from now on, there will be a Williams Center in Silicon Valley. I will build a Williams Center in an area of ​​10,000 square meters west of San Jose and build it into the heart of Silicon Valley!! !"

"That's it, thank you all for participating in the press conference!"

"I announce that this is the end of the press conference!"

After speaking, Henry stepped off the stage. The reporters wanted to ask questions, but they were stopped by the bodyguards.

"Mr. Henry Williams' press conference is the shortest press conference I have ever seen!!!"

"Haha, short and sharp! This time is a big news again, you said, Rockefeller Center is awesome? Of course, but with Henry Williams, its Williams Center can be worse than Rockefeller Center. ?"

"Hehe, yes, I am already looking forward to the completion of the Williams Center, how much stronger it will be than the Rockefeller Center!!!"

The next day, the front pages of all American newspapers were all news about the Williams Center. Major television stations discussed the matter one after another. Numerous experts and professors showed up to explain. There were already discussions on the Internet. Many netizens jokingly called "Henry Williams". It's a'local tyrant' again!!!".

The major real estate companies in the United States have moved forward, paying particular attention to the location of the Williams Center.

All of a sudden, land prices near the location of the Williams Center went up wildly! But despite the price increase, it is also extremely limited, only doubled!

However, the following series of press conferences stunned the entire United States! ! !

Cisco held a press conference to announce: "Cisco announced that the company will move into the Williams Center, its subsidiary Cisco will move into the Williams Center, its subsidiary Qualcomm will move into the Williams Center, and Qualcomm's subsidiaries will move Enter the Williams Center!!!"

The Nicholas Group of Companies held a press conference to announce: "The Nicholas Group of Companies announced that the company will move to the Williams Center, its Nicholas Shopping Network will move to the Williams Center, and its Nicholas Express Company will move to the Williams Center, and its holdings The group will move into the Williams Center, and the company will move into the Williams Center!!!"
