Chapter 126 Silicon Valley News

The sun shines through the shade, and the playground under the redwood forest.

I originally thought Lopez could avenge him, but I didn't expect that $2 was thrown into the water and didn't even splash.

Ten bullets were shot out, and only six shots exploded the balloon. Han Xuanmingming saw him in the middle of aiming, strong body and correct shooting posture, which was quite professional.

With the dull noise, the balloon on the edge exploded.

Lopez's face gradually turned dark and he kicked at the young boss hard: "Do you know if this gun is crooked?"

"…Hey, man, you'll be wrong."

The stall owner smiled and thought that they had spent a lot of money on their place, and the other party seemed to be unfair, so he continued to speak: "Why might as well give you a rabbit?"

"Bah! You're a rabbit!" Lopez was now like a explosive pack, and he exploded when he heard the rabbit.

Han Xuan quietly pulled the corner of his clothes, and Lopez realized that the other party was not saying that he was weak, and shouted: "I want that bear!"

"That won't work. Sir, you have to shoot twenty times before you can get it." The boss's weird expression made Lopez even more annoyed, obviously not believing that he could do it.

"I used to be a sniper! A real soldier who participated in the Gulf War!" He took out his wallet from the back of his butt, searched for a long time but couldn't find change. Lopez threw a hundred dollar bill to him: "I don't believe it yet!"

The stall owner happily put the balloons in place and was not busy asking him for money. Seeing that there were not enough small balloons stored, he inflated them aside and repeated the cycle.

If Mr. Han was here, he could still shock the soldiers. Now, Han Xuan alone was alone, their arrogant nature would be exposed, but the boy didn't mind and was happy to see the situation in front of him.

It lasted for more than twenty minutes and the balloon explosion could be heard all the time. The abominable boss asked to win 20 shots in a row. He got a lot of souvenirs, but Lopez just failed.

In the end, the stall owner couldn't stand it and gave the Big Bear doll to Anya for free. The cost was only about ten dollars, and he had already made it back.

Lopez put down the simulation ** and silently put the $12 coin into his wallet, facing other companions without any shame...

I originally wanted to experience paragliding and hot air balloons, but the bodyguards never allowed them, saying that they were in danger and had to ask the old man.

Han Xuan naturally would not disturb his grandfather for such a trivial matter, and he knew that he would not allow it without thinking. He looked back at Anya: "What should I do now?"

"Flying a kite, but it's too late. We can buy one to go to San Francisco and then fly it. I haven't played with this kind of thing yet." Anya said softly, her face was a little red from the sun, and her forehead was covered with fine sweat.

"Okay, there are no telephone poles at Fisherman's Wharf. When you go there, what kind of kite do you like? I want to buy a dragon."

Han Xuan held his paws and looked fierce. He rarely had such childish times over the years. He did not scare the girl, but instead scared himself and silently said to himself: "I am an adult, I am not a child..."

After getting on the bus and continuing to set off, away from Highway 1, rural towns gradually became more and more numerous, sparsely scattered on both sides of the highway.

The big sign of Intel Company can be seen from a distance, and Han Xuan knew that he should have entered Silicon Valley.

Originally, it only took an hour's drive from San Francisco to Silicon Valley, but they had been delayed a lot of time along the way and would stop to see the beautiful scenery, so it took nearly three hours to arrive this time.

The Silicon Valley that Han Xuan imagined should be a city or urban agglomeration with countless broad roads and buildings on both sides. Young white-collar workers were walking in a hurry, shuttled between spacious and bright tall buildings, just like Zhongguancun, the capital of China, I visited in my previous life.

Cadillac was walking on the way to Stanford University, and the boy paid attention to the scene on both sides of the road. It looked like a rural area. The road under his feet was very narrow, with dense forests on both sides, and it was rare to see tall buildings.

Silicon Valley is not an administrative division, and there is no Silicon Valley on the tourist map. What people call Silicon Valley is actually a narrow valley near the south of the San Francisco Bay, because major American IT companies are concentrated in this area.

Initially, IT companies mainly produced semiconductors and computers, and they were inseparable from high-purity silicon, so people called this area Silicon Valley.

It has gradually formed with the rapid development of microelectronics technology since the mid-1960s. It mainly relies on some of the first-class American universities with strong scientific research capabilities in the vicinity, such as world-renowned universities such as Stanford, Berkeley and California Technologies, providing a large number of talents and technologies for high-tech companies.

Since 1960, Silicon Valley has attracted the attention of the world. French President Charles de Gaulle once visited here in person. At that time, he was shocked by the irregular research garden built between a farm and an orchard.

This place has nurtured many world-class companies, such as HP, Varian Medical Systems, Oracle Software Systems Co., Ltd., Cisco Systems, Nvidia, etc., which have promoted the development of cutting-edge technology.

Obviously, Silicon Valley is unique in both innovation and corporate management. For nearly a decade, until later, attempts to replicate Silicon Valley areas, from New Jersey to Boston, have all ended in failure without exception.

After the success of Silicon Valley, many parts of the world, including some local areas in the United States, also began to try to replicate another Silicon Valley, but they also failed.

Han Xuan was also shocked at this moment.

Because he saw Apple, this giant company with a market value of hundreds of billions of dollars in twenty years.

Deep in the shade is a low building with no walls, no gates, no obvious borders, only a few small billboards showing its name.

The open and integrated culture of Silicon Valley is really beyond Han Xuan's expectations. If there is a world-renowned large enterprise in China, it must have a high wall, the door is very conspicuous, and the company's giant name is hung on it.

However, the Apple headquarters was inconspicuous at all. If he hadn't seen a familiar trademark hanging at the door, he would never have believed that this was the headquarters of Apple.

Han Xuan thought about it carefully and remembered that Apple's situation seemed not very good in recent years. In 1980, Apple's stock was listed publicly, and all 4.6 million shares were sold out in less than an hour.

The closing day was $29 per share. Based on this closing price, Apple executives generated four billionaires and more than 40 millionaires, and Jobs ranked first as the founder of the company.

Apple, which was once prosperous in the 1980s, suffered a series of decision-making mistakes and in 1985, Jobs was revoked by the company's board of directors, and since then Apple has plummeted.

Especially in recent years, the turnover has dropped significantly and the market share has shrunk year by year. The company's book assets are higher than the stock market value, which shows that people are quite disapproving of it.

It must be fake to say that Han Xuan is not moved at this moment.
