Chapter 490: The Miserable Cat Meow......
Of course, there should be a sequence of meetings, and there should be no one to do with them, and they should theoretically be dispersed. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe topic of the morning revolves around the Silicon Valley circle, which theoretically has nothing to do with Lawrence, Ackman and others, but everyone knows that these "non-Silicon Valley" companies are precisely built by Alice Wang with relatives and friends as management. It is not for nothing that the conference table is seated on the left and right.
Therefore, even if the meeting was held again in the afternoon, there was still nothing to do with Oscar & Hannah, Blackwater International, and DreamWorks, but several bigwigs still sat in the conference room generously, not treating themselves as outsiders at all.
Now that it's afternoon, the meeting will certainly not be just about business combinations. Now that the resources have been integrated, a new round of specific development plans for the enterprise can also be gushing.
"Cisco, in partnership with British Telecom and AT&T, has accelerated the rollout of global Internet infrastructure. Routers and switches will be priced internally, and Lucent Technologies will be contacted to jointly carry out further research and development of optical fiber technology. ”
After Alice's decision was issued, Sandy Posak, customer service and marketing director with the title of general manager, said: "In terms of network infrastructure, the distribution of the United States is characterized by a high density of east and west coasts, if you want to expand the scale of development, will it be more convenient to set up a New York branch?"
Alice pondered for a few seconds, nodded and said, "You don't need a branch, an office is enough." We are a company specializing in playing the Internet, and if we want to build another branch in a single country, wouldn't that be equivalent to smashing our own signboard?"
Someone chuckled, and Sandy Bossak was even more anxious: "But if we concentrate all our business in the headquarters company, we will at least double the intensity of our current work, right? BT and AT&T have bought our products, but it is purely as a customer, if we work directly on infrastructure......
"So Sandy, it's time for the company to hire a professional manager. ”
Alice, of course, knows best how Cisco can develop best, she sat at the head of the conference table, and looked deeply at the former university professor: "I believe that the industrial chain merger and acquisition route in the past two years is not a small burden on you, right?"
This sentence really goes to the heart. Cisco's industry chain M&A strategy, that is, when the company finds that a start-up has an industry product that it does not already own, it directly buys the small company to expand and improve its product system. As a first-hand experiencer, Sandy does understand how useful it is to grow the company, but when it comes to her own execution......
"Busy!" she sighed, "First we have to find this kind of small business, then we have to communicate with each other, then we have to reach an agreement, and then we are busy with specific mergers and acquisitions...... It's not an easy job, and I have to rely on coffee to refresh myself for days!"
The wife was sighing, and Leonardo Bossak was nodding very cooperatively.
Not far away, Gates pouted silently and exchanged glances with Paul Allen.
There is no doubt that even with the development of Cisco until now, the couple is still just a poor worker.
Alice easily took in the small actions of the two of Microsoft, and smiled silently: "So Cisco, I'll just order a professional manager." John Chambers, B.S. in Business and Law from West Virginia University, MBA from Indiana University Business School, worked at IBM and most recently at Ann Wang, Inc. in Asia sales. I think I still have the ability to persuade him to join Cisco, and with such a CEO, the M&A strategy will definitely be implemented. ”
A resolution on the change of the top management of the Cisco system was issued in this way, as for how deep the water is in these words, I am afraid that many bigwigs here have the capital to think deeply.
Sandy Bossak, one of the company's three founders, customer service director, marketing director and part-time general manager, has been working diligently on the front line for five years. As a result, now, with a single sentence, she will be stripped of at least one and a half positions in the Airborne Forces, and not only can she not complain, but she even has to thank Alice for relieving her of pressure......
Gordon Moore and Larry Ellison, two of the oldest in the room, gave Alice a deep look.
"Well, it looks like I've got a job for myself. Taking a sip of tea, the chief girl smiled: "That's it, after I said that Chambers took office, Cisco officially began to step into the field of Internet infrastructure on a global scale." The Atlantic submarine cable has been laid, but the gap here in the Pacific Ocean is still very large, and I believe ...... Cisco China, its development potential is definitely very large. ”
Another word, another new resolution. In fact, unlike the descriptions in many film and television dramas, in real life, many company development plans are not "how formal" they are proposed, and they are often implemented immediately because of the daily words of employees and management. That is, Alice is really special, who told her that she has always been just a student, and it is really the regular board of directors that allows her to talk about it.
As a new partner, Oracle will not make any moves for the time being, as long as it continues to sell its database as it does on weekdays. The stake is only 10 percent, and the contact time is not long, Alice certainly can't gag with Ellison like he commanded Bossak and talked about Gatesg, and the development of this company is completely dependent on stamina.
Yes, stamina, this is the same tree model that Ellison proposed in the morning. Oracle's business is the most fundamental part of the entire information age, and its value can only be reflected to the highest extent when the entire industry is most vigorous.
But the "proposals" and "suggestions" related to specific operations, Alice can still talk endlessly.
"We talked about Solar Systems in the morning. Although I chose to cooperate with Oracle instead of the Solar System for our entire information age development strategy, in terms of details, Larry, do you think we just let Oracle acquire the Solar System?"
Removing the question structure can be directly used as a news headline, which can be considered the weight of Alice's sentence. Ellison blinked and said in a deep voice, "The scale of the solar system is not small, what do you like about it?"
Alice blinked: "Which ...... You know, Larry, there's a computer lab in my umbrella. ”
When she said this, Ellison suddenly remembered, yes, at the end of the table, there are two sons of a Hong Kong tycoon?
I think it's the same nature as the Bosak couple, right?
There is no doubt that every proposal of Alice is from the perspective of someone who has come before, and looks back to the current company. Eventually, Sun Systems was acquired by Oracle, and the subsequent products were Solaris and Oracle-Linux, two absolute server-class, database-based operating systems. In fact, if you really look back from the original timeline, almost all of the main products of the oracle bone inscription in later generations are the legacy left by the solar system, the most widely known of which is the Java language.
The most distinctive feature of the consortium is the interoperability, although based on the Alice just established this, whether it should be called the Silicon Valley consortium or the bloody Alice consortium, it has not yet been determined, but the characteristics of the interconnection have been revealed. Oracle will grow on Cisco, and its acquisition of Solar Systems will enrich itself and provide considerable technical support to the umbrella computer research institute. All the members of the board of directors can sit here, but if there is any interest, don't they all bring it up on the spot?
"We can announce the release date of Windows.NT. Then it was Gates who spoke, and the NT project, a big project that brought together hundreds of people and lasted for many years, has finally been able to make him say this sentence "with tears in his eyes".
"I suppose Mr. Ellison, Oracle's database should be able to integrate with the NT system, right?"
The eyes of everyone in the audience were focused on these two Silicon Valley masters, although they were very inconspicuous, but Li Zekai was the most excited. A computer engineering student at Stanford University, even if the issue has limited relevance to him at this time, how can he be willing to move his ass?
Naturally, Li Zeju, who is an elder brother, can only be an accompaniment.
I only heard Ellison laugh: "Oracle uses a Unix related system, which is very different from the system of Microsoft and IBM, and if you want to integrate them, it is equivalent to integrating the software on the Apple system into Windows." Mr. Gates, are you sure you want to take this wrongful path?"
But Gates shrugged his shoulders easily and said, "Maybe you can develop a new database for NT?"
"Theoretically, of course, but ...... cost"
"Hey gentlemen. Seeing that these two people were about to talk endlessly, Alice had to stop in time: "Beware of monopoly." The database is directly related to the operating system, Bill, you think so beautifully, aren't you waiting for the rest of your peers to sue us?"
The most basic premise for the implementation of the anti-monopoly law - either the victim or the prosecutor himself can't see it, but in short, someone has to sue you!
A lively meeting lasted until about 3 o'clock in the afternoon, although there was nothing to do with "Sophie and others" in the whole process, but even if the audit itself, its significance was extraordinary in various senses. But this series of new development strategies, are to be carried out step by step, today is just after the completion of the building gathered together, no matter how lively, the banquet should also end a moment.
"It's finally over......"
In the elevator room, Alice can be regarded as the last elevator that sent off the group in Silicon Valley. Still on the same floor as the conference room, she stretched lazily.
"It's finally over?"
However, behind her, led by Sophie, another group of adults were smiling and smiling.
"Weiwei, you can't rest when you're the boss~"
So, Gates and others, who were going down in the ultra-high-speed elevator, vaguely heard what seemed to be a cat meowing upstairs...... And it's so miserable.
