Simon got dressed and went to the study next door, and Alia came over with a file bag.

Handed the file bag to Simon who was sitting on the single sofa in the reception area, Alia did not go to sit down next to it, but knelt down on the carpet next to Simon's sofa, her soft body climbed the armrest of the sofa, like a cat nestled next to the owner, and briefly introduced: "This is a piece of information that the family asked me to help introduce, boss, the other party has a lot of power in India, my father can't refuse, you just need to take a look." ”

Simon sensed Alia's caution and just smiled, not too mindful in his heart.

There are actually a lot of similar things in the family, he was born in a humane society in his bones, and he is even more accustomed to this, Simon's red line is just that the people around him don't hide from him and pull the tiger skin, once he finds out, he will not give any room for turn.

Although she is the top Brahmin in the Indian caste system, Aliya has a modest family background, and her father is only a law professor at the University of Delhi in India.

There weren't many things in the portfolio, just a letter and a beautifully bound brochure. One word on the cover of the manual slightly appealed to Simon: Wipro.

Wipro Corporation.

In my memory, this was one of the largest software vendors in India, and the boss of Wipro, Achim Primki, was later the richest man in India's software industry, and once occupied the third place on the list of India's richest people.

The other envelope was indeed a handwritten letter from Achim Premki.

The entrepreneur, who is now one of India's most famous tycoons, explained the reason for the incident in a personal letter, arguing that the new annual software outsourcing tender that Igrete just concluded in March did not really take into account the overall strength of Wipro, and he hoped to get a chance to make a personal presentation to Tim Berners-Lee, CEO of Igret.

Later, when it came to India, a strong software industry was an indispensable topic.

Actually, this is a misunderstanding.

India's software industry is not strong, it is the software outsourcing industry that is strong. The difference is probably the gap between Apple and Foxconn. Even for many years after the new century, India's software industry has only provided the most basic software service support for the world's major technology giants, and has never completed industrial upgrading, and has always been at the bottom of the food chain of the software industry.

Because of the huge demand and the abundant and low cost of human resources, the export volume of India's software industry accounted for about 80% of India's total exports at its peak, and the total output value once exceeded 100 billion US dollars.

However, at this stage, the Indian software outsourcing industry is still in the early stage of development, and the services that can be provided are more low-end, often just simple data classification and content entry, and the total output value of the Indian software outsourcing industry in 1993 is less than 500 million US dollars.

In Simon's memory, the acceleration of India's software outsourcing industry was due to the 'millennium bug crisis'.

At the end of the nineties, all the tech giants in the world provided millions of software outsourcing orders for India in order to fix the Millennium bug vulnerabilities in a large number of software. The real explosion of India's software outsourcing industry was after 2000, when the bursting of the Internet bubble made it impossible for countless Western technology companies to spend big, and in order to survive, they had to find ways to reduce costs.

At this stage, Igrett can also be described as wealthy.

However, both Simon and Igreit's core executives are very always cost controlling, so since 1992, Igrete has been ahead of many other technology companies to cooperate with Indian software outsourcing vendors, mainly Igret's portals, search engines and e-commerce, etc., which have a large number of data classification, content entry and other basic software service needs.

After several years of explosive growth, coupled with the continuous expansion of the talent gap in Silicon Valley at this stage, the total outsourcing orders of Egrett in 1994 are expected to reach 300 million US dollars, although only about 70% of them will be outsourced to India, but more than 200 million US dollars of software outsourcing orders are definitely the object of Indian software manufacturers whose total output value was only about 500 million US dollars in 1993 at all costs.

After all, getting an order from Igrete means not only a huge amount of revenue, but also a potential increase in corporate visibility. When other technology companies solicit business, having the label of 'Eagle Rett Partner' will definitely increase the success rate of cooperation.

Inside the study of Woodside Villa.

After Simon finished reading Azim Primki's handwritten letter, he flipped through the company brochure that he had prepared, but the thoughts in his mind began to diverge.

If Aaliyah had introduced someone else, Simon would have only dealt with it a little bit.

However, since he was able to become the richest man in India's software industry in the original time and space, Azim Premki must have something worth working with.

One of the main secrets of the rapid growth of the Westeros system over the years is actually Simon's investment in 'people'.

Whether it is Daenerys Entertainment's film talents 'cultivated in advance' based on Simon's memory, or executives in the Westeros system such as Jeff Bezos and Raymond Smith, they are all characters who have shone in Simon's memory. These people have proven in Simon's memory that they have the potential to lead the company to success, and together with Simon's abundant resources and the right direction of development, it has finally made the Westeros system what it is today.

Achim Premki, apparently, is a man with similar potential.

Having made up his mind, Simon's thoughts continued to deepen.

With the outbreak of the Internet industry, the total shortage of technology talents in Silicon Valley has reached more than 300,000 at this stage. Egrett is currently recruiting software engineers, with annual salaries starting at $50,000.

On the other hand, due to the strict immigration restrictions of the United States, a large number of talented software engineers in many other countries around the world have been excluded from North America.

Just because these people can't enter the U.S. doesn't mean they can't serve Silicon Valley, and the biggest advantage of the information age is that it can bridge the distance between people in terms of communication.

And, since Igrete has a lot of software outsourcing needs, so should many other tech companies that are also suffering from the talent gap in Silicon Valley.

In that case, it would be a big deal for Igrete to create a dedicated software outsourcing platform that bridges Silicon Valley with potential partners across the U.S. and around the world.

Most importantly, it will also create a huge number of jobs in the United States and around the world.

For the current Westeros system, the more people who have the job, the more powerful the voice it will have in the face of the United States and even the governments of the world. Any politician who has lost his job as a result of the fight against the Westeros system will be a predictable fate.

It is not for nothing that international Internet giants such as Google, Facebook, Microsoft, and Amazon have all suffered large-scale anti-monopoly investigations and huge fines in North America and Europe.

The main thing is that Amazon has too many people's jobs.

Worldwide, Amazon had more than 500,000 employees at its peak, which is more than the other four of the five tech giants FAANG combined, and Amazon's employees cover a wide range of people, including people at all levels, not just the other four concentrated in the field of high-tech talent.

Not only that, but Amazon e-commerce has brought millions of potential job opportunities to Western countries within its own industrial chain.

It is conceivable that if the authorities in North America and Europe are too oppressive to Amazon, well, if you want to fine, I can only lay off employees in order to save expenses, 100,000 people is not enough, not enough to lay off another 100,000, once Amazon really downsizes, the loss of peripheral jobs is even more incalculable.

That's the right to speak.

Among the many companies in the Westeros system, if you want to rank, Daenerys Entertainment's 35% stake in the video tape chain giant Blockbuster will definitely be very close.

As of the first quarter of 1994, the total number of BesTV stores worldwide has exceeded 5,600, even under the personal scrutiny of Simon and Nancy, who all attach great importance to corporate efficiency to avoid bloated employees, the total number of BesTV employees at this stage has reached more than 41,000, and the average number of employees in each store is 7.3 people, which is significantly lower than the average of 9.1 people in the same type of chain stores in the industry.

The more than 40,000 employees who do not have high requirements for qualifications and academic qualifications are a great voice for the Westeros system.

In the planning of this year's midterm elections, hundreds of thousands of Westeros employees and their families in North America will be mobilized.

Simon, however, was not satisfied.

If Igrete can build an outsourcing platform that connects the world, whether it is a professional software engineer or a housewife who just wants to earn some pocket money on the Internet platform through simple data entry and classification, then Igret's voice will be enhanced again in the future.

For example, if the authorities want to break up Igret, they must consider whether the hundreds of thousands of outsourced jobs created by Igrete each year will be affected. After all, even if the authorities wanted to suppress the influence, Igret, who had her own portal media platform, would make it public: Look, what those politicians have done, people may no longer be able to make money online to subsidize their families.

From ancient times to the present, ordinary people are the most easily incited group of people.

Maybe you've just made them lose a sewing needle, and they don't mind letting you lose an iron mine if they have the chance, even if it provides them with all the pots and pans they need in life.

Sensing that although her boss was still flipping through the brochure, his expression was obviously a little distracted, Alia didn't bother, she still crouched next to the sofa, folded her arms on the armrests, supported her chin, looked up at the man in front of her intently, and didn't mean to disturb at all.

Of course, there are some expectations in my heart.

If this is done, the family will probably not urge her to return to India in the future.

Her parents have always complained about her current job, after all, how can a noble brahmin be a maid to others, even Simon Westeros's maid, although she has always explained that she is a yoga teacher of Lady Westeros, but the family knows exactly how.

As for her current job that is easy and well-paying and allows her to live in the United States, Alia has no intention of giving up.

You know, they only need to work for 20 days a month at most on weekdays, and they can move freely at other times, well, in addition to not being able to fall in love, Alia feels that her life is really similar to that of a princess, living in the most luxurious apartment, not only has a private driver, but also can travel around on the private jet of the Westeros family, and the food and clothing on weekdays are also the extreme, such a life, even if they will not get tired of it for a lifetime, not to mention, they are not short of room to rise, Sophia Fercy, Alice Ferguson, Claire Gain: These women used to be just like them.

The study was quiet for more than twenty minutes, and the sky outside the window darkened unconsciously, Alia quietly turned on the light and returned to the sofa, and the man was still immersed in his thoughts.

It wasn't until there was a knock on the door that Simon finally came to his senses.

With a sound of agreement, the study door was pushed open, and it was Jasmin Gary.

The waist probe came in, his eyes first met Arya, and some small sparks flashed without a trace, and then he retracted, looked at the man on the sofa and said, "Simon, dinner is ready." ”

Simon closed the booklet that he had unconsciously flipped through twice, and said, "I'll be right here." ”

Yasmin nodded, glanced at Aria again, and closed the door gently.

Simon noticed the small eyes of the waist essence this time, thinking about the origin of the two daughters, he probably understood something, even if Yasmin is already Canadian, the natural antagonism between Indian and Pakistani will not be eliminated, just like the Japanese and Chinese in the West.

For kitten fights between women, as long as he doesn't scratch his face, Simon won't care.

Glancing at Alia who was looking forward to her, Simon stretched out his finger and teased the woman's delicate face a few times, and said, "Achim should be in San Francisco, right?"

Alia nodded, pretending to be dissatisfied, opening her mouth to bite one of Simon's index fingers and grinding her little white teeth, and quickly let go.

Simon said, "I'll call Jeff after dinner and ask him to take the time to talk to him. Tim is in charge, he is now only in charge of Igret's technical research and development department, and Jeff and Carol are in charge of management. ”

Of course, Alia also knew who Simon was talking about Tim, Jeff and Carol, and nodded: "Thank you, boss." ”

I wanted to shout 'Simon', just like the woman just now.

But I didn't dare.

Simon put Acim's handwritten letter and Wipro's business brochure into the file bag again, intending to have someone pass it on to Bezos, remembering something, and asked Alia with a smile: "Has Acim given you any benefits?"

Alia hurriedly shook her head: "No, no." ”

Simon said: "This is not good, you have helped him so much, of course you have to benefit." ”

Alia realized that Simon was not teasing herself, so she hesitated a little and confessed: "The other party promised my father to be their company's legal counsel. ”

"That's right," said Simon, knocking lightly on the girl's head, rising from the couch, "but this kind of thing must not be addictive, or I will be angry." ”

"Hmm. ”
