The Goddess Shines on America

One second to remember 【】, to provide you with wonderful novel reading.

At 1:30 pm on August 25, in the conference room of a high-end hotel in Los Angeles, John Walker, who had been sitting still for a long time, welcomed one of the people he wanted to meet today.

"Hello, Mr. Warnock." Walker stood up and smiled: "This is a really amazing meeting. Our names are so similar."

"That's it, Mr. Walker, and we are all called John." John Warnock, who just walked into the door of the house, laughed loudly. Both of them were successful people in their almost unconquerable years, and the companies they founded are so similar. , I met together today for a strange reason, and it really makes people marvel at the wonders of the world.

"Where is Miss Wang?" Warnock looked around the room: "Our future boss is late?"

"She just used the car phone to inform that there had been a serial car accident in the city and it would be a little later." Walker patted Warnock on the shoulder, and two people who could easily confuse their names were seated first.

Warnock stroked his beard and said, "Car phone, it seems that Miss Wang bought a luxury car?"

Walker poured a cup of coffee for his friend: "That's the writer of DreamWorks Roger Lawrence. The girl just bought a Bugatti. Oh John, you heard that right, she bought a Bugatti."

"It's common sense to buy a supercar at this age to develop your career to this level." Warnock said with a smile, and swept around.

Warnock, the founder of the listed company Autodesk, and Walker, the founder of Adobe, have similar surnames and the same names. Regardless of the latter's small company size, both of them are successful people of the same class, but at this moment, they all came here with the same identity.

Walker spoke first: "It seems that our little boss is really ambitious, Mr. Warnock, how did you think of selling Autodesk?"

The direct reason, of course, was that the stocks that fell sharply during the "87 stock market crash" were acquired in a large amount, so when you opened your mouth, Warnock sighed for another reason.

"Tired," he said, "I have always liked to live a peaceful life. I bought a few acres of land on the Mississippi River, built a small acre, and went fishing with my wife. These days are better than anything else. But you see, With the development of the company, can I be allowed to retire?"

It is embarrassing. After all, for Walker, he has worked hard for six years and has not listed Adobe, and the other company's shares were split again last year. There is nothing more so-called that people are more popular than others, and Walker can't help but laugh bitterly.

"Then," Warnock said, looking at his watch, "The downtown area is just as large as that, so I think Miss Wang should be able to... Ah, what am I talking about."

The door opened again, and a standard high school girl walked into the meeting room.

"Sorry for keeping the two of you waiting for a long time." The delicate lady's suit and trousers, plus a plain shirt, are even more rare to wind up her long hair. This is a delicate dress, and after careful treatment, she doesn't feel too sophisticated, Alice He greeted the two with a gentle smile.

"Ah, our boss is here!" Warnock smiled and stood up to welcome him, and Walker immediately stood up and stretched out his hand. The two men are both at the age of being a girl's father, and Warnock's moustache is even more sophisticated. But in the face of the high school girls entering the house, none of them can make a difference.

"Sit down, I blamed the **** car accident, and hit twelve cars in one breath! How long have you both been here? Have you run into it too?"

"On the way I came, I saw a lot of ambulances rushing past." Walker, who arrived later, cared about the situation: "Are there many people injured?"

"There are seven or eight, and everyone from the TV station is here. I guess you can see it on TV tonight." So this topic can be stopped now, and Alice took the tea from Walker. After all, he is the current general manager of the company that he acquired nearly a year earlier. The current second-largest shareholder of Adobe, of course, knows her beverage preference.

"So two," she took a sip of the tea ceremony: "Presumably you all know, what is the main topic of today's meeting, right?"

The merger of the two companies.

This decision was within everyone's expectations.

The construction plan of the Alice Building has recently become the latest series in the Los Angeles Times. Not long ago, the official announced a new decision that the size of the building should be changed from the original 528 meters. It rose to six hundred and thirty-two meters in one breath. This is really not a trivial matter. During the entire cycle, people from all walks of life have expressed their views on this in newspapers, and even many media on the east coast have reported relevant information.

After all, nowadays, there are not many 500-meter-tall skyscrapers in the world, let alone 600-meter-class skyscrapers. Although Manhattan was crazy about this kind of architecture in the 1930s, it was 50 years later, especially after the Great Depression that year, everyone realized that the simple skyscrapers are not directly related to economic prosperity. relationship. In comparison, Silicon Valley, which is full of low-rise buildings, is the best counterexample.

Therefore, the construction of this new skyscraper is really beyond the expectations of too many people, especially the owner of the building is Alice-Wang, such a typical Silicon Valley star. Therefore, people have already made countless speculations about the actual use of this building. Considering that Alice has long claimed that this is a self-use building, the move in of its various companies has become the most preferred event.

Furthermore, although companies such as Adobe and Autodesk are in different fields, they are all companies in the computer graphics industry. The merger is definitely a general trend. After all, the future development potential of Alice, the big capitalist of high school students, is too great. It would not be easy to manage if there are countless lists of companies under its banner.

"When it comes to mergers, we have to analyze the current status of our two companies." This one is a well-known listed company, the other is a small company with huge potential, and neither of the two founders is as stunned as Gates. , But a senior programmer who can be Alice's father. How to deal with this matter really needs to be pondered.

"You two are great predecessors, both of whom have witnessed the development of our entire IT industry. Of course I will not forget this." In any case, I will speak with respect first.

"Mr. Warnock, once worked as a system programmer for the company that produced the world's first large-scale commercial computer. At that time, it was far from the PC and the Internet. And to be honest, I did know that you 75 The program “Pervade” written in 1970 can actually automatically check the directory when the game is started, and then copy itself to any directory that has not yet been copied, or overwrite the existing old version of the game. Although your purpose at the time was only to promote the game, it must be said that you really pioneered the concept of computer viruses. "

This implied satirical compliment, but it is the same people who can laugh, but Warnock and Walker are of course the same people. But seeing the new boss suddenly reveal his experience more than ten years ago, Warnock, the perpetrator, still couldn't help being surprised when he first arrived. After all, they hadn't said this when they met before!

Well, yes, the merger issue discussed today, of course both companies have been bought by Alice.

"In addition, John Walker graduated from Utah State University with a bachelor of science, a master's degree in mathematics, and a doctorate in electronic engineering that is computer science. Being an entrepreneur is the most typical feature of our IT industry. In 1976, you The San Francisco branch of the computer graphics company Evans& develops an interpreter that interprets the large-scale 3D graphics database of New York Harbor. It is this experience, plus some later career careers, and some inspiration from Apple. I was able to create a company like Adobe. It can be said that you are also on a very standard path of rapid development."

"So, the potential of the two companies is very huge... Yes Mr. Warnock, please be honest, although Autodesk is now a listed company, but it is too early to its glorious day. And Adobe has Mr. Walker’s senior talents are here, and the blowout phenomenon is just around the corner."

"So in terms of company mergers, my thinking is like this."

The previous good series of introductions can be regarded as letting the founders of these two companies understand each other's background. Seeing the bright foundation stars rising between them as expected, Alice also knew that it was time to say something business.

"Just use a simple combination of names for the new company, Autodesk&Adobe, abbreviated as A&A... Is this order possible?"

Already listed companies are ranked ahead of Adobe, which only launched a product this year. Of course, Walker can't say anything against it.

"In the new company A&A, the financial and management aspects are of course integrated. What we need to do is to reintegrate the financial statements and re-list them. However, the original employees of your two companies are still doing the original The project is fine~www.readwn.com~ The financial and macro management systems are integrated, but in specific business areas, we are still the original two product lines."

Alice raised her finger and said: "One is the AutoCAD series. As a professional 3D engineering drawing software, it will never have to worry about losing the market, and based on the professionalism of engineering construction, we also have specific versions that can be made, and the price is high. ."

"One is the Adobe series. PostScript is a programming language that can make us a leader in the field of graphic design and even the future of network media. The continuous version update of the same software will allow us to have a super huge industrial chain. This is also true for AutoCAD, so although the company is merged at a macro level, internally, we are actually equivalent to two companies sharing one office."

The last words were quite funny, and the two middle-aged men laughed happily. Warnock thought of more, he couldn't help but glanced out of the window. Although the floor was relatively short here, in terms of direction, the Alice Building that was about to rise from the ground was there.

"Then Miss Wang," as a senior programmer who developed AutoCAD himself, he couldn't help but ask: "Can I see your masterpiece?" (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please browse and read. Reading experience.
