After the incentive meeting for the employees, it was time for the shareholders' meeting. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Of course, to put it very lofty, in fact, it is just Alice and Bossak and his wife.

After all, Cisco is not a public company, and it has not experienced those financings that can be without it.

"How did you get that order!?"

At the desk, Sandy wore her eyes and carefully flipped through the fax from Washington, D.C.: "Our country is a federal system and a separation of powers, how can those state governments, municipal governments, and departments in the D.C. suddenly be so, so, so united...... Done?"

"It's not IBM's business. ”

Alice herself felt that her smile was so gloating now: "The invasion of the stock exchange to maliciously tamper with data has been successful, may those government officials not have a sense of crisis? Believe me, Sandy, this order is just the beginning, or it won't be long before government departments across the United States will come to us for orders~"

"yes, what a coincidence......"

Bosack sighed on the side, and he didn't even have time to drink the early brewed mocha: "IBM and NASDAQ have both bought our products, but we are the industry leader, and even the biggest competitor Lucent has sales at least 30% worse than ours." It stands to reason that Washington will concentrate on purchasing our products. ”

"In this way, the size of the company will be expanded. ”

Sandy put down the order and looked at Alice with blazing eyes: "Leonardo told you what I thought, right?" Alice, it's time for the company to expand again, I think we should increase the human resources of the customer service department and the sales department, as long as the engineers are enough. ”

Alice didn't answer Sandy's suggestion in the first moment, but first looked at her with interest.

If Posack himself is a simple tech nerd, then Sandy does have a talent for business, as for the reason......

"It's not a question of expanding human resources. ”

Alice shook her head, but before Sandy could say so, she preemptively said, "Instead, we should change the company's business policy." ”

This is no small matter, Sandy's voice is raised: "How to change?"

"It's simple, customer-oriented. ”

Alice easily plagiarized an idea that belonged to Sandy, though from her eyes, it wasn't plagiarism......

"The human resources problem you mentioned belongs to the category of specific measures, and the measures must be guided by guidelines. Customer-oriented, developing new products to meet the needs of customers, this is the next way for the company to go. ”

"That's right, that's what I meant!"

Sandy looked at Alice in surprise, how many times has this been, some of her own hazy thoughts, how many times have they been directly summarized by Alice?

"Customer-oriented...... Yes, that's what we should do, Leon, what do you say?"

So, the two female creatures in the room looked at a male together.

"But isn't that too much of a philistine?"

However, Bossak's eyebrows flashed with disgust: "The research and development of Internet hardware, what we are doing is a great achievement that will change the way of life of all mankind, customer-oriented, isn't that the business philosophy of an ordinary trading company?"

And so it was.

Alice shook her head with a wry smile.

So, science men are the easiest to get into the horns.

At this point, they tend to be scarier than liberal arts students.

"Technology is technology, Leonardo. ”

Alice sighed softly, "But we're starting a company now. A company, no matter what product it sells, no matter how much impact the product will bring to a wide range of people, it is built on sales. ”

"You know, Marx famously said that practice is the best way to test truth. It's not impossible for a researcher to develop technology behind closed doors, but can that researcher be sure that his technology is what everyone needs? If the product he worked will end up being something that everyone doesn't need at all, but just the researcher's wishful thinking that everyone needs it, then there is no way to talk about changing and influencing the world?"

Seeing that Bossak was in a pensive posture, Alice picked up the plane and said, "You probably haven't read much of the superhero comics, right?

"Teach people to love peace by means of nuclear leveling the world, or use an army of robots to keep all humans in captivity to prevent them from killing each other, or a Japanese ninja manga I read, in which the fool villain tries to hypnotize all mankind to make everyone live a good life in their dreams, so as to avoid killing in reality......"

Seeing that the couple looked choked, Alice smiled: "See? Isn't this all wishful thinking on the part of tech nerds? Maybe the purpose is good, but they don't care whether the audience needs it or not, they just wishful thinking is doing it in the right way." Then when they are killed by the messengers of justice, they often say with a face on their faces, dear, why can't you understand me!?"

“…… Totally stupid, right?"

I have to say that this explanation is really novel.

Or is it worthy of the opinions given by middle school students?

"It does make a lot of sense, although these examples of yours ...... Hehe. ”

After a moment of silence, Bosak shook his head with a wry smile and said, "I have to admit that in terms of business, I am indeed far inferior to you, not even Sandy." Since you both want to take a customer-oriented approach, you can give it a try. ”

Sandy said thoughtfully: "Speaking of which, it seems that there are not many companies in the entire IT world that do this. If you look at Apple's computers, aren't they all Jobs' wishful thinking? they're very expensive, but they're not much worse in terms of performance, but they're just very good in terms of design. His perfectionist paranoia does represent the psychology of many Silicon Valley people at present. ”

About Apple......

Alice rolled her eyes.

It was something she had avoided mentioning to everyone for a long time.

After all, Apple's market value in the later period was too high, and before Jobs's return, its market value was too low. What if you talk to others about Apple's development at every turn, and if you accidentally talk too much, those people will also follow and buy stocks at a low price?

You know, in the past few years, Alice has never stopped acquiring Apple shares.

Long before Jobs left Apple, the family happened to accumulate hundreds of thousands of assets through its stock, and refilled all the dividends. It wasn't until it finally started to decline that Alice was able to sell off all of these shares for the final high price it had before the downturn.

However, after all, the decline is a long process, and there is still a price difference to be made in this~

No way, who called the later Apple is really exaggerated, the peak market value of 800 billion US dollars, even under the influence of inflation, did not surpass Microsoft in 99, those are 800 billion!

Many people in the financial world have long memorized its historical stock price fluctuations, and Alice benefited from the brain of this life, even if she didn't memorize it deliberately in her previous life, it was enough for her to recall every detail.

Comparable to the forbidden book catalogue of Intix's obsessive memory ability, although Alice's brain is more developed and can intelligently selective forgetting, as long as she wants to recall, no one can stop her.

Buy at a low price, sell at a high price, for her who remembers Apple's daily K-line for many years, this kind of game is really not too fun.

So, bring your attention back to the present.

After some discussion, Cisco's next business policy was determined, and as for the specific implementation steps, with Sandy's enthusiastic initiative, Alice, the honorary chairman, was of course happy and relaxed.

"Sit back and wait for the age of eighteen~"

Flipping through the order in her hand, Alice smacked her lips and said, "Recruitment of new employees...... According to the capacity limit of the headquarters building, the total number of employees of 200 is enough under the premise of ensuring a comfortable working environment. But...... Sandy, we have a lot of other business besides this order, right?"

Sandy nodded, "With your article and Time magazine, the company's average daily order growth has increased by fifteen percent. However, IBM's intrusion incident has also made many enterprises take the view of the network to the extreme, some people immediately increased the purchase of routers, in order to strengthen the construction of the company's local area network, some old customers are not moving, but there are also many people ......"

"Chargeback?"

Alice waved her hand disapprovingly: "It must be a small business, right?"

Seeing Sandy nodding, she smiled: "That's their own fools, if we do this, we will only lose an inconsequential small order, but they are really delaying their own development." ”

However, the expansion of the business is also inevitable, and it is estimated that 200 people will not last for a year. In this way, you will continue to be responsible for the day-to-day running of the company, and I will find time to choose a new office building. It's not far away, just settle in San Jose. ”

Bosak narrowed his eyes and said contentedly: "The scale of two hundred people, if it is expanded on a large scale, it will definitely be listed." Listed companies...... Alice, you have to buy a large vacant land, if the area is small, beware of not keeping up with the development. ”

"That's nature, in fact, I have already chosen a piece of land. ”

Alice leaned back in the chair even more comfortably: "But that's all a matter of going back, I still have a lot of work to do~"

As she spoke, she looked at the world map on the wall of her office. (To be continued.) )
