Today's British Telecom has an extremely important day, not because Alice Wang is going to invest $50 million, nor because of the sudden visit of Prince Charles, neither. The www.biquge.info is the founder of Cisco, Alice Wang, who was recommended by Prince Charles to start a cooperation between the two companies while taking a stake in the company, which is really important.

The same act, modified in different ways, can bring a completely different meaning.

"Welcome, Your Highness the Crown Prince, and we feel so excited about your presence."

The smart brown hair is smeared with thick hair oil, the boss's suit is even a high-end new one bought yesterday, and the Patek Philippe on the left hand is only worn on the most important days. British Telecom's CEO Barton Locke has gone to great lengths to make today's meeting, and so has the entire board of directors in the room.

Standing at the door of the conference room, the crown prince shook hands with Barton Locke, who walked up first, and said, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Locke, the telecommunications company's marketing volume this year is very good, you must have broken the record again, right?" ”

"Of course," Locke puffed out his chest proudly, "our turnover in the fourth quarter has increased by seven percent, and the full-year quota is one and a half times that of last year, and this is because of ......"

"It's still affected by that disastrous Black Monday, otherwise it's not just seven percent, right, Mr. Locke."

Alice, dressed in a small white suit, stepped forward and said to Charles with a smile: "Don't you introduce me?" ”

"Oh, how can you bother His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" If Barton Locke didn't recognize the girl's identity, it was really a dog eating his eyes, he immediately bent down slightly, and when Alice raised her arm, he kissed the back of her hand just right: "Wonder girl, your name has long spread all over the world's IT world, Miss Wang of Cisco, what a beautiful operating system,"

In two short sentences, the two most valuable identities of the other party were brought out, and this sycophant shot was inconspicuous, but Alice could only smile reluctantly. When the man, who was about her father's age, straightened up and made a gesture of invitation to Prince Charles, she rubbed her shirt against the place where she had just been kissed.

Then, it was time for the guests to take their seats, and the entire board of directors of the British Telecom Group, all 20 people, also sat down.

"I won't say much about the superfluous."

After three or two routine polite sentences, Alice said: "50 million shares are nothing, we all know this, time is limited, let's focus on the potential cooperation space between you and Cisco." ”

It was really just a polite remark, and Alice didn't even mention the fact that she planned to invest 50 million shares, so she took it upon herself to skip it. Such a maverick approach really made the full board members stunned, even Barton Locke.

"Miss Wang, I think we should still ......"

"Man," Alice interrupted him directly, again, "You know that I'm only fifteen years old, so let's save those procedures for adults, so we can all save trouble, right?" The crown prince and I set off from Buckingham Palace early in the morning, but we ended up in a traffic jam on the street for a while, and you and I were both wearing watches, so it was time to eat after a while. Let's pick the key points first, otherwise I really don't have the heart to sit here, or do you want to start the meal early? But I really don't have enough appetite right now, what do you say? ”

A series of words that spoke at a rapid pace, many of which were still in completely colloquial form, and Alice blurted them out in an instant, so that no one had time to stop them.

Then, of course, there was a moment of silent silence. Looking at the whole room, the smiling Alice puffed out her chest triumphantly, Prince Charles looked stunned, and the twenty members of the company's board of directors headed by Barton Locke looked completely uncomfortable.

"Ah, ahem!" In the end, it was the crown prince who took the lead in breaking the silence: "Alice makes sense, Locke, 50 million shares are just a matter of 50 million, if Alice wants to buy directly on the stock market, it is a single thing." Let's put this matter aside for now, let's talk about Cisco. ”

With his beginning, Barton Locke also became active, and immediately nodded with a smile: "Then since the crown prince has decided to do so, it's better to do it." Guys, let's talk to Alice about the partnership with Cisco, what do you say? ”

Even now, she still has to go through the procedure, and Alice is really speechless about the stereotypical and outdated way of doing things of these typical British people.

Fortunately, the bloody situation of the House of Representatives voting did not happen after all, and on the premise that there was no need to discuss more, a new topic was opened by Alice again.

However, the first person to introduce himself is Patton Locke's side.

"It is no exaggeration to say that our British Telecom company is the world's top telecom operator, and I believe Miss Wang understands it."

Locke proudly said: "Our main business includes long distance telephone calls in the UK, as well as international telecommunications services. It is no exaggeration to say that more than 90% of the country's home users are using our lines. ”

"But at the same time," Alice said casually, "you have made average achievements in the emerging mobile phone industry, and the company does have a mobile communications department, but the competitive pressure is very high. Although Ricar Telecom, a subsidiary of Ricar Electronics Co., Ltd., became independent in 85 years, its strength has grown at a very amazing rate, and it will even go public next year, am I right? ”

As soon as Alice's words came out, many of the board members couldn't help but jump out of the corners of their eyes, and even the crown prince was furrowed by her bold speech. Barton Locke's expression was as if he had swallowed a fly, and for a moment he tried desperately to digest it quickly.

"Indeed...... In this way," he said as if squeezing toothpaste, "it seems that Miss Wang has been thinking about our shareholding and cooperation for a long time. Can you tell us about the benefits that Cisco can bring us? ”

The situation was a bit delicate, and the crown prince watched from the sidelines, as a pure outsider, observing the various details of the normal meeting.

First of all, it is certain that Cisco is not in a hurry to work with BT.

The company is about to go public, and its boiling IPO has been in the Wall Street Journal for several days, and in the current "post-crash" period, its listing is destined to make a lot of money. Not to mention its status as the absolute leader and pioneer in the Internet hardware industry, just the recent news of its cooperation with Lucent Technology, the second oldest in the industry, is enough to make it sell at a good price at the opening.

Therefore, its cooperation with British Telecom is really just the icing on the cake.

But what about BT?

"Together, we can break new ground, which is network infrastructure."

First of all, Alice explained in detail: "As we all know, the current means of network connection is telephone dialing, and the network takes the telephone line. The whole process is that the user has a personal computer, an external or internal modem, and then -- what used to be an expensive dedicated IBM computer as a medium is now a router -- adds a phone line, and then dials the access number provided by the vendor to access the Internet. ”

"I have a new patent in my hand now, yes Mr. Baker, ah sorry Mr. Locke, I applied for this patent not long ago, and now the results have come down."

Having said this, Alice suddenly stopped, and then took a sip of tea without hurrying, and actually put on a posture of savoring life. How can this make people on the side of the company happy? Without even waiting for Barton Locke to speak, according to the introduction, Chad, the man who was the director of the technical department, couldn't help it.

"New technology? Is it the same nature as your router back then? ”

This sentence was asked very pointedly, and Prince Charles, who was watching from the sidelines, immediately analyzed it.

The router, which Alice built on this patent in 84, has even directly accelerated the infrastructure laying speed of American operators with its cheap access to the network, not to mention the original expensive alternative. So now, since she first said the current way of surfing the Internet, wouldn't this so-called new patent be......

"This patent uses frequency division multiplexing technology to divide ordinary telephone lines into three relatively independent channels: telephone, uplink and downlink, so as to avoid interference with each other. Therefore, users can surf the Internet while making phone calls without worrying about the loss of Internet speed and call quality. ”

In a word, it is a new world, and Alice's explanation is not finished: "Theoretically, this patent can provide up to 1Mbps uplink rate and up to 8Mbps downlink rate on a pair of copper twisted pair cables over a range of five kilometers, and can provide voice and data services at the same time." ”

After saying this string of words, Alice tasted the tea again, and gave the directors of the audience a sufficient time to digest and absorb with a happy life.

"mpbs," said Chad Chad after a moment, the director of the technical department, "million-bits-per-second, that's a pretty impressive rate. Miss Wang, are you sure that the medium is still copper twisted pair? Didn't switch to something unreliable like fiber optics? ”

Fiber is unreliable?

Alice smiled bitterly, but the idea of this group of Britons is not wrong, although a few years ago, optical fiber has entered the stage of telephone communication, but it is still early to be truly commercialized, let alone the level of network communication.

"That's right, Mr. Chad, it's still copper twisted pair, and we only need a new technology to achieve what I did. So in particular, imagine the market space after the cooperation, I believe it will not be small. ”

Seeing the directors desperately hide their true feelings, Alice smiled with satisfaction. (To be continued.) )
