Manufacturing Empire in the Valley

Chapter 1518 San Francisco Bay Area

Professor Watson's plan is to delay the attack. He just wants to find a reason to stabilize the school director. In fact, he will not contact Niu Xiaoqiang, let alone fly to stop Niu Xiaoqiang.

Morton didn't know what Watson was thinking, and he nodded believingly: "That's good, you act quickly, and don't make any trouble again."

Watson agreed, and after hanging up the phone, he left the school with his handbag and drove to the airport.

His wife, Linda, had been waiting here with a suitcase for a long time. Seeing Watson arrive, Linda asked with a smile, "Honey, are you done with everything?"

Watson smiled and nodded: "It's all taken care of, have you bought the ticket yet?"

Linda took out two air tickets from her pocket, shook them, and said with a coquettish smile, "We haven't gone on vacation for a long time, this opportunity is rare, we must have a good time."

Watson laughed, put his arms around his wife's waist, and the two walked towards the boarding gate together.

After boarding the passenger plane to Hawaii, Linda couldn't help asking: "Do you really think Niu Xiaoqiang can win this time?"

Watson fastened his seat belt and nodded slightly: "He said he could win. Niu Xiaoqiang has always been very cautious in his words and actions. Since he said so, there should be no problem."

Linda snorted and exclaimed: "Niu Xiaoqiang is really powerful, much better than our son. If Robert is half as smart and sensible as him, I will be completely relieved."

Watson said with a smile: "Everyone's talent is different. We don't need to force anything, as long as the children can live a peaceful life."

As soon as the two of them said this, the flight attendant informed everyone through the radio that the plane was about to take off, reminding passengers to pay attention to safety matters.

When the passenger plane of Watson and Linda was taxiing to take off, the flight of Niu Xiaoqiang and Yu Simei happened to be landing.

Niu Xiaoqiang didn't know that the news about his challenge to the intelligent program had quickly detonated the entire American society. Except for a few people, everyone else did not believe that he could succeed in the challenge.

After the plane stopped, Niu Xiaoqiang and Yu Simei left the airport with their luggage.

According to the itinerary planned by the two, they will find a place to rest for one night, and then go to Stanford University to challenge the next day.

In order not to delay the trip, Niu Xiaoqiang had already learned about the local situation in San Francisco in advance, so he called a taxi and rushed to the Hilton Hotel with Yu Simei.

While the car was driving, what was playing on the car radio was the news that Niu Xiaoqiang challenged the smart program.Niu Xiaoqiang smiled and asked the driver: "Mr. Driver, can you tell me when this news started?"

The driver replied while driving: "It's been broadcast for almost half an hour."

Niu Xiaoqiang snorted, and said to himself: The professor is very good at publicity. He is far away in Boston, and he spread the news to California so quickly. The speed of news spread is faster than me by plane.

As soon as he thought of this, the driver continued with a look of disdain: "MIT is too arrogant. It wants to rely on human power to defeat the computer. Isn't this a joke? The reason why the intelligent program of Stanford University can defeat the chess master , it actually depends on the powerful computing power, no matter how powerful the human brain is, it is impossible to compete with the computer in terms of computing power, this is determined by the characteristics of both parties."

Seeing this, Niu Xiaoqiang couldn't help laughing and said, "Mr. Driver, it sounds like you know computer technology very well."

The driver was in his thirties, and he was not at all humble when he heard this. He replied with a proud expression: "I graduated from Caltech with a major in computer science, so of course I understand computer technology very well."

Caltech is also a world-class university with very strong comprehensive strength. Niu Xiaoqiang did not expect this taxi driver to have such a high degree of education. Why would you come and drive a taxi when you have a better-paying job?"

The driver smiled and replied: "The taxi belongs to my father. He went to Hollywood to chase stars today. I just had a rest and had nothing to do, so I wanted to experience the usual working conditions of a taxi driver. In fact, there is a taxi driver under my name." A company, this company was founded by myself, although I haven’t made any money yet, but I’m free enough.”

Many Americans have this mentality. They would rather earn less money and live a more comfortable life.Niu Xiaoqiang was not surprised by this.

He nodded with a smile and asked, "I heard that there is a Bay Area where high-tech companies gather near San Francisco. These companies are basically related to computers. I wonder how long it will take to go to this Bay Area?"

The driver immediately replied: "If you go now, it only takes two to ten minutes. If you go to the Bay Area from the Hilton Hotel where you are staying, it will take at least four to ten minutes. Sir, are you going to the Bay Area now? If If you go, I can help you plan the nearest route, and I promise you won’t spend too much money.”

Niu Xiaoqiang really wanted to visit the Bay Area, but considering that it was inconvenient to carry luggage with him, he finally gave up the idea: "Thank you, no need, I'd better go to the hotel to settle down first."

The driver was not reluctant, and nodded with a smile and stopped persuading.

Twenty minutes later, the taxi stopped at the gate of the Hilton Hotel. Niu Xiaoqiang paid the fare and tip, waved goodbye to the driver, and then walked into the gate of the hotel with Yu Simei.

The waiter at the front desk of the hotel saw two people with oriental faces coming in, and his face was not so good-looking, as if he was reluctant to provide services to the oriental people.

Niu Xiaoqiang was not used to such discriminatory people, he directly took out his black card and placed it on the counter, and said arrogantly: "Hey, please give me the best room."

The waiter was stunned for a moment, and then nodded again and again: "Please wait a moment, I will help you open the room."

Yu Simi also saw the other party's eyes just now, this was the first time she encountered such eyes after going abroad.After Niu Xiaoqiang entered the elevator with the room card, Yu Simei asked in a low voice: "Why did that waitress look at us with that kind of eyes just now?"

Niu Xiaoqiang sighed: "She is discriminating against us. This kind of thing is very common in the United States, but we don't need to spoil her. If she is not sensible, I just need to make a complaint call, and she will lose her job."

It is impossible for any hotel to offend a black card holder for a small waiter, let alone the waiter who was at fault first.
