Chapter 789: Starbucks (First Vote)

The complexity of today's operating system is far less than that of later generations, after all, the functions of computers are still relatively simple.

With Xia Yu's guidance, coupled with the entire company's full production, the efficiency is simply not too fast.

In his previous life, Thyssen Patterson spent only six weeks editing out the QDOS system in his spare time, although there are many loopholes, but he can also know how difficult it is to make an operating system.

With the help of all people, Seattle Computer Products' SCP-DOS system was perfected at a breakneck pace.

The reason why it is named SCP-DOS system is because the English name of Seattle Computer Products is Seattle Computer Products, which takes the first letter of each word as a prefix, echoing the foreign naming habits, and also has a strong icon.

If at the beginning, Xia Yu still needs to watch and guide on the side, as time passes, the project team cooperates more and more tacitly, and the programming efficiency is getting higher and higher, that is, when encountering some difficulties, Xia Yu needs to come out and give some guidance, so Xia Yu is the most idle one in the entire project team.

Staying in a confined space all day is indeed a bit depressing, so Xia Yu goes out for a walk from time to time to breathe fresh air.

This afternoon, Xia Yu came out of the company and walked along the road, tired of walking, he wanted to find a place to rest.

His eyes searched everywhere, and a shop caught his attention.

It's a coffee shop, and the coffee shop's logo is gray and somewhat explicit.

It was a two-tailed mermaid, the mermaid did not have shells, it was directly dewed, and in the circular space of the outer circle, surrounded by a line of English - Starbucks coffee.

The Chinese translation is - Starbucks coffee.

This trademark is somewhat different from the green logo of later generations, but the basic body is still the same.

Thinking of the glory of Starbucks coffee in later generations, Xia Yu couldn't help but cross the road and walked into the Starbucks coffee shop.

"Welcome, what coffee do you need? ”

The obese middle-aged man in his forties in plaid suspender jeans asked kindly and pointed to a sign erected on the table.

"I'll take a look first!" Xia Yu finished speaking and looked at it on the list.

"A latte!"

There are not too many varieties of coffee, adding up to six, Xia Yu ordered a latte and sat directly on the high stool in front of the counter, intending to drink it on the counter.

"Okay, wait a minute!"

After the middle-aged fat man finished speaking, he picked up the coffee beans and grinded them quickly.

Xia Yu sat on a stool and casually looked at the scene in the store.

There are only seven coffee drinkers in the store, including him, and at this point in time, business is average.

The layout of the Starbucks coffee shop is certainly not as good as that of later generations, but it can also be seen in the subtleties that the layout is more careful.

"Sir, your coffee is ready!

"Thank you!"

"The taste was very fragrant. ”

Xia Yu took a deep breath and gave a pertinent evaluation, which made a smile appear on the middle-aged fat man's face.

"Thank you for the recognition!"

Xia Yu was sipping coffee, and when he saw that there were no new guests for the time being, the middle-aged fat man was wiping the washed cups with a quick towel, so Xia Yu chatted with him.

"Hey, manager, what do you call it?"

"My name is Walker Sam, what about you?"

"Hello Walker, my name is Xia Yu. ”

"Xia Yu, your name is very strange, and it sounds very difficult to pronounce. ”

......

"Walker, can you tell me about your Starbucks coffee?"

"Of course, I am still very aware of this, I was one of the first employees of Starbucks Coffee. ”

"And now this store is the first store of Starbucks Coffee, when I was just a waiter, the year before last I was promoted to the manager of the No. 1 store, and now our company has 13 coffee shops after nine years of development......"

It seems that every fat man is very talkative, and Walker Sam gushes about the history of Starbucks coffee, and from time to time he digresses and talks about his experience.

Xia Yu has always been patient, being a good listener, smiling throughout the whole process, and nodding from time to time, which greatly increased Walker Sam's desire to chat.

Fortunately, just when Xia Yu's cup of coffee was about to bottom, the store door opened and the couple came in, and the middle-aged fat man Walker Sam had a look of regret and stopped the conversation unsatisfied.

Xia Yu had to wonder how boring Walker Sam was as the store manager.

"Manager Walker, I still have something to do, so I'll go first, the coffee is delicious, and your story is also very interesting. ”

Xia Yu got up and said with a smile.

"Mr. Xia, thank you for being my listener, and welcome to come back next time. Walker Sam took the time to turn around and say to Xia Yu, with a very enthusiastic attitude.

"Okay!

"Goodbye!"

Waving to Walker Sam, Xia Yu pushed open the door and walked out.

He looked back at the gray mermaid logo on the sign, smiled, and left with the bodyguards who had been guarding near the door.

After going back, Xia Yu immediately ordered his assistant to find a way to investigate Starbucks Coffee, and then buy it.

At the same time, Xia Yu made a phone call to Korn Ferry and asked Richard Ferry to help him dig up a person named Howard Schultz from Xerox Company.

Howard Schultz is the one who single-handedly created the Starbucks coffee legend and gave it a soul.

Suffice it to say, Howard Schultz takes eighty percent of the credit for the success of Starbucks coffee, which is how important he is to Starbucks coffee.

......

Two days later, Xia Yu came out of the project team and met with executives that Korn Ferry had hired for Seattle Computer Products.

There are three CEOs interviewed, two men and one woman, all of whom are elites in the computer industry, and the lowest one has a resume as an executive vice president of a company.

After an interview, Xia Yu left Buck Daniel, who is thirty-two years old, young and strong, and very agile in thinking, as the CEO of the company temporarily.

After interviewing candidates for the CEO position, Xia Yu met a 24-year-old young man who had been hired by Korn Ferry, Steve Ballmer.

This proud son who graduated from Harvard University with a degree in mathematics and a master's degree from Stanford University's Graduate School of Business is the CEO and president of Microsoft Corporation in the future, and a billionaire who is the owner of the NBA Clippers.

However, Steve Ballmer's later achievements are due to his outstanding contributions after joining Microsoft in 1980, when he acquired a stake in Microsoft Corporation.

Today, he's just a young man who has just been out of college for less than a year.

After cutting Steve Ballmer's arrogance, Xia Yu appointed him as the company's executive vice president to assist Buck Daniel in managing the company.

Of course, he also has a one-month inspection period, this is because Xia Yu is not very relieved.

Just because Steve Ballmer has achieved great things in his past life doesn't mean he's capable of doing the job now.

After all, potential belongs to potential, and ability belongs to ability.

But if Xia Yu doesn't recruit him, maybe in a few months, Bill Gates will recruit him, and then the uncertainty will be even greater, as long as you move your mouth to avoid trouble, Xia Yu of course wants to stop it and weaken Microsoft as much as possible.

Within three days of the interview, the two were officially hired, and Xia Yu's work pressure was reduced again, and he fully assisted in the development and improvement of the SCP-DOS system.

Before you know it, it's June.
