The Goddess Shines on America

Chapter 295: , Cisco's potential rivals in China?

   Jeff Bezos, the future founder of Amazon

  I was browsing the list of employees, and when I saw his name for the first time, Alice guessed that she had hired the right person. Later, after browsing the other party's resume a little bit, she became more convinced of this conclusion.

This slightly funny-looking bald guy not only founded Amazon, the world's largest online bookstore, and one of the first companies to start e-commerce on the Internet, but also developed it into the largest online e-commerce company in the United States. This achievement is not ordinary.

   He was elected as Time Magazine's Person of the Year in 1999. It was only four years after the company was founded. When the timeline moved towards 2014, he was ranked among the top ten richest people in the world with a value of over US$30 billion. As the real leader in the industry that gave Jack Ma the idea of ​​creating Alibaba, this soaring to the peak of life of 30,000 miles is also just right.

   And now, this kid who just graduated from Princeton University actually came to work at Cisco.

   When she first learned of this fact, Alice almost didn't laugh.

   "Miss Alice?"

   At this time, Bezos, who is not yet a bald head, carefully sat down in the cafeteria restaurant: "It's rare to see you at the company."

   This is a more advanced dining area in the canteen. The curved sofa surrounds the oval dining table. The environment is elegant, but the number of people is even rarer. For this reason, when many people saw that Bezos, a newcomer who was working in the firewall research and development department, was sitting with Alice, who was rarely seen in the company, many people looked like they saw the news. .

Of course, Alice ignored them: "Jeff, you have been working in our company for two years, and you have been doing very well. But after all, it has been two years, and it is just two years before graduation, so long. How are you planning for your future at the same time?"

   is a rare scene. A girl who is in high school actually asks a professional about her future plans, but it seems very natural to Alice. Bezos smacked his mouth subconsciously, and immediately realized that he was not polite, so he could not help but press his mouth tightly.

   "In fact, when I was young, I aspired to be an astronaut or a physicist."

What a great ideal, Alice laughed, and Bezos also took a sip of juice: "When I was in middle school, I wanted to be a business manager, but after I went to college, I became interested in computers. It’s written on my resume that I graduated from the Department of Computer Science, right?"

   Alice was noncommittal, but said ambiguously: "So, your interest changes from time to time, right?"

"Let’s put it this way, it feels good to work at Cisco before. Seriously, Alice, I really admire you. Those media magazines often talk about your age, but what I noticed was before you. No one is thinking about developing any hardware specifically for popularizing the Internet."

   Alice nodded with a smile. Fortunately, the general media said that professional magazines such as Volkswagen Electronics did not tell anything less about her age. Of course, it is not to question Alice's talents, but to highlight the contrast between achievements and age.

   "So, I do have some ideas"

Instead, I heard Bezos say: "I'm thinking, can I also do something earth-shattering? After all, Alice, although we don't meet many times, you always think of me as a billionaire. The rich man is joking about something. I always say that, and it really makes me think about it!"

   After speaking, both of them laughed. Of course, this scene was clearly seen by the employees in the distance. The big guys couldn't help being more curious. Many people didn't even want to eat and started talking in a low voice.

   "Hey, you said that boy Bezos, he's not in a relationship with our boss, right?"

   "In love!? Please, they are nearly ten years old, right? Roger, you are not afraid to be in Mary's ears when you say that. You know she has something to Bezos."

The above two people are purely talking about gossip, but there are also people who seriously think: "Is Jeff going to get up and down? His performance in the past two years is indeed very good. Boss has called him several times during meetings. Are you going to be promoted?"

  "The firewall R&D team, this is the five corners

As for the projects given by the building, it is really amazing that Jeff can enter. But the most remarkable thing is Alice. The semi-finished products are directly handed over to the R&D team. Those people only need to do the final finishing work. Tut tut"

   Although the distant discussion was mixed with normal small talk, Alice could still hear it clearly, but of course she didn't bother to pay attention to the staff's random thoughts, and just continued to chat with Bezos.

   "If you really want to seek further development, I won't stop you, don't worry."

First give a reassurance, she said: "After all, if you really succeed in starting a business, whether it is for this society or for me, it will be more valuable than if you continue to be a programmer at Cisco. Think about it. , If you are a sincere boss of a company, and if we have any cooperation projects, one is to cooperate with the former company boss, the other is to cooperate with the former company employees, these are all acquaintances, right?"

This is what Bezos is really frightened and terrified: "Please, Alice, is there a boss like you? Encourage subordinates to leave and start businesses? I have worked for Cisco for two whole days. Years, are you not afraid that I will become your competitor?"

Alice grinned and waved her hand disapprovingly: "Behind Lucent Technology is backed by Bell Labs. The speed of developing new products hasn't been left behind by me? You can rest assured, Jeff, even if Cisco has a competitor, It will never belong to Lucent."

Seeing that Alice was so sure, Bezos was inevitably curious and couldn't help but ask: "It definitely won't be Lucent? It is now the second largest in the industry, right? It won't be Lucent, is it ranked third? of"

   In the next few words, Alice did not listen to Bezos's simple rhetorical question.

   After lunch, there is still a short time before Sandy arrives at the company. After returning to the office, Alice immediately called home.

   After a while, Sophie at home must have connected it: "Hello, here it is"

   "Mom, how are our connections in China?"

   Because there was something in the morning, Sophie was still preparing lunch, even though it was about one o'clock in the afternoon. Originally thinking about all kinds of cooking times, my daughter suddenly asked such a question, and she was immediately bewildered.

  "Chinese contacts? Uh, uh, you mean Oscar p; Hannah?"

   Without knowing Alice’s intentions at all, Sophie stammered: “Do you want to put domestic companies in China for development? Or are you finally planning to let Oscar p; Hannah go global?”

Alice also realized that her question was asking too suddenly. At this moment, she sat comfortably behind the writing desk in the office, and picked up a piece of information about the new generation switch from the desk: "That's it, mom, um. An employee at Cisco learned that, er, he is also of Chinese descent. He told me that a relative of a retired military cadre in his hometown in China is now planning to do a switch business."

Eight of the ten sentences are nonsense, but how did Sophie know the composition of Cisco's personnel, but after hearing her daughter's last sentence, she followed her train of thought and said: "So, are you planning to acquire that company? But it It should not pose a threat to Cisco. So Alice, did you start the Chinese market?"

   really deserves to be a mother, even if Alice's ideas have always broken through the sky, she still has a good grasp of her daughter's mind. Therefore, when the cheers of "Oh hello" came across from the microphone, Sophie could also think that her daughter must snap her fingers.

   "Yes, Mom, but this business might not be suitable for you to come forward. Let dad ask the school for a leave and ask him to accompany me to China."

This is of course no problem~www.readwn.com~ but Sophie is thinking about another question: "But you are going to start school in ten days, do you have to ask Eaton for a leave? Then you have to work hard after you return to school. Earn credits."

Of course, Alice knows which is more important than anyone else. She touched her lips, glanced at the world map on one wall, and nodded vigorously: "That's it. Go to Shanghai first and see Oscar Hannah. And then go to Shenzhen again. According to my employee, his relative went to Shenzhen to work hard."

   Shenzhen this

Sophie has also heard of this term. After all, when Oscar Hannah was first established, she also personally sat in the Shanghai headquarters for a long time. She had even heard of the so-called first coastal pilot city that opened up: "Shenzhen is good, the climate there is similar to Florida, and now it can be considered as a shelter from the cold in the past."

   "But Alice, is your news reliable? How many generations of Chinese is your employee? Can he give the exact contact information of that relative?"

   Alice was silent for a moment, because she needed to recall the memories of her previous life.

"According to him, that relative worked at the Shenzhen Nanhai Petroleum Logistics Service Base in 1983 and recently resigned, so I can get his contact information directly from that company. However, his national pride is very strong. If I contact him directly as the founder of Cisco, it is estimated that there will be no good results. This requires the identity of Oscar p; Hannah."

   It turned out to be so, Sophie nodded and said, "Okay, then I will help you contact Shanghai." To be continued.
