Chapter 113: Bezos' job search

The last few days of April were fast in the air, and for Jeff Bezos, his studies at Princeton were coming to an end. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Of course, there is still some time before you really need to be hired, but this is the time when everyone starts looking for a job. As a member of the Ivy League school, Bezos is certainly not afraid of the ridiculous problem of losing his job, and all he needs to worry about is what kind of company he should enter.

Bezos realized in high school that he definitely had an ambition to do big, but he hadn't figured out how to do it.

Look at Bill Gates, who dropped out of Harvard after only two years, and is now a millionaire. Look at Steve Jobs, who founded Apple at the age of nineteen, and now sells computers with a lot of joy. Looking back at himself, Jobs really had the urge to hang on to himself.

Although the comparison itself is very inappropriate......

Finally, on the eve of the summer vacation of his third grade, he left school early with a job posting in the California area, and traveled thousands of miles from New Jersey all the way to San Jose, California.

That's why, on the morning of the first day of May, he was able to stand in front of the five-story office building.

“ci”

What is the charm that makes this company attract him, Bezos himself can't say. Of course, he can see that the company has not been established for a long time, because the thirst for engineers in the recruitment information is simply salivating, and the conditions offered are more generous than those of peers by 20%!

This is not because of the company's large cash flow, Bezos is well aware of the doorways when it comes to recruitment. If a company is well paid, it does show that it is strong, but it is as high as 20% above its peers, which can only mean that it is in a period of rapid development, and it needs to quickly recruit many talents to become productive forces. In other words, it's a start-up.

Both large and small companies have their own strengths and weaknesses, and Bezos, as a "prospective" fresh graduate, is well aware of this. Large enterprises have good treatment and perfect systems, and as a big platform, they can quickly let newcomers understand what the workplace is; on the other hand, the responsibilities of large enterprises are too detailed, almost a carrot and a pit, and a staff member is only responsible for the little things he is responsible for, and only that little thing.

For small enterprises, the shortcomings are of course obvious, such as the most obvious lax management system. But because of this, everyone has to become a generalist, part-time clerk for accounting, part-time clerk for clerk, part-time secretary for driver, part-time secretary for driver, part-time secretary for secretary......

Ahem, therefore, the ability of small companies to cultivate the comprehensive quality of employees is often incomparable to ordinary large enterprises. Bezos would have chosen this Cisco Systems company, in large part because of this.

Besides, this business is indeed a wonder.

First of all, what is internet hardware?

Bezos is from the computer science department, of course he understands what this means, so he knows better that there is almost no second company of the same kind in the industry except for Cisco systems!

What is the concept of the first person in the industry?

It's like IBM in computer manufacturing, Ingle in CPU manufacturing, Microsoft in DOS system development, Apple ...... Alas, does Apple sell computers or systems?

While Bezos was thinking wildly, he suddenly saw an Asian girl with big breasts coming from a distance. The other party should be about thirteen years old, but it unexpectedly gives people a sense of maturity, especially the light blue jeans, the tight little butt obviously has a lot of potential for development.

"Uh...... Have we met?"

Hearing the voice of the man opposite, Alice frowned.

The most familiar look in his eyes, the kind of annoying look that stares at her cup as soon as she meets, since she has grown there, she can have ten men she knows...... Three or four will have this problem.

"Who has seen you?"

In the face of the stinky hooligan, of course Alice will not be polite: "Am I very familiar with you? Who are you? Don't you see that the age difference between the two of us is at least twenty years? What are you talking to such a young and beautiful girl as me?

Bezos was really confused by this string of accusations, why is this kid so beautiful, but he can't listen to it so much?

And also......

"Hey, how come I'm twenty years older than you?"

He smiled wryly and touched his head: "Have you forgotten? In a bookstore in Manhattan, we met at the promotional site of "Jurassic Park". ”

Alice put her hands behind her back, her long black hair combed in a handsome and charming ponytail, she swept Bezos up and down, and snorted: "Jeff Bezos, born in Princeton, hurry up and touch your head, it won't take you to be forty years old, you will definitely be a big bald head! Believe it or not?"

"Great, so you remember me. ”

Bezos selectively ignored the next string of words, laughed, and reached out to pat Alice on the shoulder: "Why are you here?"

As soon as his hand reached out, Alice dodged away, glanced at her eyes again, and said, "Why can't I be here? Why can't I be here? Why are you here? Yes...... Are you going to plot against this company?"

Seeing that the girl really stretched out her hand and pointed to the Cisco company building, Bezos said happily: "That's right, I plan to intern in this company, and if I do a good job, maybe I will continue to work here after graduation." What about you? It's not a weekend, don't you need to go to school?"

Alice snorted again and said triumphantly: "I have already stuffed 20,000 US dollars for the principal and the director of discipline, as long as I pass the exams that should be taken, it doesn't matter if I don't take a single class~"

Looking at the girl's typical underbeaten look, Bezos smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Forget it, I don't care about you." Well, I'm going to go in for an interview, are you traveling with your parents to San Jose? Where are they?"

Alice looked at Bezos with a strange look in her eyes.

Just kidding, who is this?

Brother-in-law - don't be your Excellency, the object of all sisters-in-law in the world to beware of.

Well, Amazon Founder, Chairman and CEO.

If the "he" in front of you is really "him".

It's a good thing to have this bald uncle become her Cisco employee, and Alice knows a lot more about this global e-commerce tycoon.

On closer inspection, he's a really talented guy. According to the official history, this kid should have officially graduated in 1986 and then entered a newly established high-tech company in New York. But just two years later, he moved to a New York Bankers Trust, where he managed $250 billion worth of computer systems, and at the age of 25, he became the youngest vice president in the company's history!

In the five years before he finally founded Amazon around 1995, the kid was not idle, co-founding a top-notch and top-successful hedge fund trading management company, and holding a key position in it — also a vice president's title.

Such a person, Alice knows, even Cisco systems are difficult to keep him, and it is unrealistic to expect him to be her employee for a long time.

Just like Gates and Jobs, cooperation is possible, shareholding is possible, these are negotiable.

But let the family simply work for themselves as employees?

Sincerity is not an easy matter.

"Since you can stand here, it means that you must be careful enough about yourself. ”

Alice nodded: "Then come on, Cisco is a company with great potential, if you do it well, you may be able to be promoted to management." ”

Bezos smiled and reached out to Alice again, but this time the girl didn't dodge and let the other person pat her shoulder twice.

Just as the college boys walked into the main entrance of the Cisco building, a figure appeared behind Alice.

"You have a crush on him?"

Ashley is dressed very similarly to Alice, with blonde hair in a ponytail, a unisex T-shirt, slender jeans, and beautiful shoes. She also had her hands behind her back, but she had a stalk of grass in her mouth, and she just walked on the lawn across the street and looked at her friend with a wicked smile.

"When he comes out, do you want to shake him in the car? If he succeeds, he should celebrate, and if he fails, he should be comforted?"

"I knew you couldn't spit ivory out of your dog's mouth. ”

Alice glanced at her disdainfully, as a "rich second generation", of course, Ashley also has the ability to ignore the existence of the school, and if she wants to travel all over California with her, she can set off with her feet.

Ashley smiled and reached out to hand Alice a straw. After the latter took it into her mouth, she continued: "Although I don't know much about IY, it seems that this kind of company does not have a high demand for people, right?

Although the Cisco building in front of me is only five stories high, it covers an area that is really no less than a green field, and it can accommodate three or four hundred people with a computer and an office space, which is really not the configuration that the current single-digit status quo should have.

"It's not bad for money, of course, you need to invest more upfront. ”

Alice put her hands in her pockets: "Anyway, the lease is only one year, believe it or not, in just this year's effort, the scale of my company can be expanded several times?"

After speaking, her eyes glanced again: "Also, what is IY?

"Haha~ You've found out~!"

"Die, you pizza pool!"

"Oh~It hurts~haha~!"

In this way, the cars passing by around can't help but reduce their speed. Seeing two teenage girls laughing and running down the street was no ordinary temptation for San Jose's programmers.
