After the meeting, Alice did not leave the company immediately, and rarely asked the principal for leave to return to the United States, just to attend a press conference. So after a brief meeting with the executives www.biquge.info Alice went to the chairman's office, which she rarely attended, and began to keep busy with some specific tasks.

"Manns," staring at the list of employees, a phone call to a team in the technical department, Alice said, "Send that employee in your group, Jeff Bezos, to the chairman's office on the fifth floor." ”

After hanging up the phone, Alice sat alone at her large desk and dialed another call.

Didi's voice sounded calmly, and after a while, a voice that had not been heard for a long time sounded: "Miss Alice, I haven't heard from you for a long time, is there anything to find me?"

On the desk was a map of San Jose, and Alice stared at a certain open space on it and said, "I will inspect the construction site at about three o'clock this afternoon, you can give me a verbal report first, about my company's new headquarters building, where is the project going?"

"God forbid, Miss Alice," the builder, like many people who deal with Alice a lot, refers to Alice by her first name, rather than the one that sounds strongly racial: "We've just started the formaldehyde deodorization process, and in about a month, your employees will be able to move into this huge new office building!"

"I hope this will be done before the New Year," Alice said, counting the day of the market: "The windows are all open, the exhaust fans are used, the workers can wear gas masks, and now the furniture can begin." ”

"Oh, it's not an easy job, you'll have to pay me a little bit more, after all, it's ...... to rent those equipment."

"Money is not an issue, just do it. ”

It didn't take long to make the call, and a moment later, Alice dialed another person: "Hey, Denp!"

The distance from San Jose to San Francisco's Redwood City is not far, and the two must have the same schedule: "Have you had lunch, tell me, how many steaks did you eat today?"

As she spoke, there was a knock on the office door, and Alice said "Enter", and then continued to chat with the owner of the electronic arts company that she had acquired. At the same time, Jeff Bezos had already entered the room and sat down in the chair that Alice had pointed out for him.

"You say, the second part of the Shadow Beast Warrior? No problem, no problem. "Hell knows what kind of game it is, anyway, Alice didn't have any interest in the computer game world at this time: "But since it comes to fighters, I have a new idea recently, I'll go to the company and let's have a good chat." Yes, that's it, then let's talk about it, bye-bye. ”

After a few words and one more thing, she pulled off the phone, stood up, and pointed to the reception area, "Come on Jeff, let's sit down here." ”

Bezos got up, his face was a little worried: "Boss, you specifically came to me for ......"

"I don't know if you remember, we first met in the bookstore," Alice laughed, "Don't tell me, you've forgotten all about Jurassic Park." ”

Bezoston's old face flushed: "How could I have forgotten? To be honest, looking back now, I think it's quite amazing." I even boasted about the book in front of the author himself, and you are now my boss. Even when I first went to Cisco for an interview, you showed up at the door. ”

Reminiscing about the past is a big killer to bring the relationship closer, although since Bezos joined Cisco, there have been few opportunities to chat with Alice. Alice is not like this, she has long been paying special attention to this young man in his early twenties, and now that the company is going public, some words that have been brewed in her heart for a long time are indeed time to talk.

"Tell me about your plans for the future, Jeff. Alice said, "You have been working at Cisco since you graduated, and you must have seen it grow from a small company to a public company, from more than 100 people to 1,000 programmers, right?"

"That's true. Bezos nodded with a wry smile and looked out the window, just in this direction he could see the company's current second headquarters building, which was not smaller than the current one, but it was only rented nearly a year ago. The company is expanding rapidly and has limited office space, but even if you pay high rents, where can't you pay higher revenues?

"You are nothing short of a miracle, Miss Alice. "I've had the privilege of being part of two of Cisco's most important research groups, and now I'm on the DLS family of technology teams, so I can say that I'm on the front lines of your knowledge and skills," he says. It's really, really remarkable, and I've seen the latest issue with an interview......"

"Jeff," Alice said in a more accentuated tone, "I'm asking what you think about your future developments." ”

This question is much more difficult to answer than praising the boss, Bezos rolled his eyes and said softly: "I have always been interested in computers, so after I was admitted to Princeton as an electrical engineer, I was admitted to the Department of Computer Science for a bachelor's degree." Our company's emphasis on high-tech technology really made me feel like I had found a home, in fact, many members of the technical department have been talking about it on a daily basis, and I am very much looking forward to what new ideas you will come up with. ”

Bezos swears to God that he absolutely said it from the heart.

Think about it, there are three of them, and Alice has thrown out a total of three technologies in the past three years, just a router, a switch, and a firewall. However, a direct finished product, a product research and development with complete technical information, and a semi-finished product research that the technical department took over, which one did not bring huge profits to the company?

Bezos is a member of the technical department, who can know the profit margin of the product better than them? Let's just say that the real cost of the firewall, the hardware part is really insignificant, and the soft cost is nothing more than the salary and bonus of the members of the research group, which is a very flexible thing -- so what about the special price of the firewall?

"Then you plan to develop in the company all the time?" Alice asked tentatively, smiling at the young man who could be her big brother, "Don't have any other ideas?"

"Do you mean job-hopping and entrepreneurship?" Bezos was not stupid, he naturally knew what Alice meant, his face suddenly tightened, but soon, he relaxed a lot: "Miss Alice, I'm really a little confused, if you talk about this kind of topic, you should talk to other executives in the company, right? I'm just a most ordinary employee now, it's necessary to be like this...... Concern?"

Of course it's necessary.

Alice laughed secretly in her heart, of course, the reason can't be said, but if Bezos really keeps working at Cisco, when the time comes, when she can set up a super large e-commerce company, where to find the most suitable CEO?

"If you want to hone in another industry," Alice decides to shift the subject straight to the point: "I'd recommend you work in a bank." You know, it's not just financial analysts or anything in the bank, but also on the server side, they will welcome a guy with three years of experience in Cisco. ”

"Well, if you have a good computer skills and a very good mathematical foundation, it must be very easy to grow in the bank. You know, if you can really get to the point of being in charge of an entire bank computer system, that's definitely better than just being an elite technician at Cisco. ”

Alice's words were quite earnest, and they were indeed very realistic, but Bezos knew it in his heart. He knows his situation, and although he has studied computer technology in college, his level is still much worse than that of computer science majors such as Stanford. The fact that he has not been able to mix with the team leader for three years is the most obvious example, not that he is not lacking in level, but that the current team leader's programming site is too good.

So, if you really go to the banking system as Alice said, you might have a better outcome.

But how does it sound so awkward?

“…… Boss, are you sure you're not trying to dissuade me?"

Bezos, who was flustered, couldn't help but think, is it because of the listing that the company is going to lay off employees!?

He really guessed the truth, because Alice spends most of her time in school and a bunch of other businesses on weekdays, the ghost has the strength to care about Cisco's employee recruitment. Bosack watched the company grow day by day, the market expanded rapidly, and Alice's research projects were thrown one by one, and the total number of 600 programmers was completely a prior accumulation of talents. Fortunately, the company is indeed profitable, and there is no need to worry about no salary, but there are indeed some redundant staff, and it is time to lay off some employees.

"Three years...... Ah," Alice blinked, as if she was going to use a seduction, "You've been working at Cisco for nearly three years since you graduated, haven't you even thought about going elsewhere?"

This sentence really said that Bezos was in his heart, to be reasonable, is it really necessary for his twenty-five-year-old young man to stick to the development of a company from the moment he graduates? As Alice said, this is also called nearly three years, and he is not a native of California, who stipulates that he can't move his ass and leave!?

"It seems that you already have an idea of your own. ”

In this way, Alice said with great satisfaction: "Leave a contact number, man, don't look at my age, I also have a part-time job as an investor, in case you want to start a business, come to me at any time." ”

As she spoke, without waiting for Bezos to act first, she took the initiative to take out her arms and handed over a business card. (To be continued.) )
