"Hey, Jeff, hurry up and get your coffee down, the boss should be there in half an hour!"
"Got it, Bhullar, I'm not giving myself a pick-me-up. ”
In the early morning office area of the company's technical department, Jeff Bezos is gulping down his freshly brewed cappuccino, and his desk is still full of documents left over from before he got off work yesterday, that is, a large amount of experimental data about switches.
After several months of research and development, coupled with the company's big boss Alice appearing from time to time to direct, the switch R&D team's research and development team has been in the city for a long time. No, even three days ago, the experimental data of the last batch of factory finished products had already come out, although this caused Bezos to go to bed at two o'clock in the morning last night, but at this critical moment, whoever snoozes is a big fool!
With a bang, the door that had just been closed opened again, and Bhullar shouted again, "Jeff, how long has it been like drinking that cup of coffee, hurry up!"
"The coffee is hot!"
"Then don't drink it!"
Bezos drank his coffee as quickly as he could, and a hot stream of heat rushed down his esophagus into his abdomen.
"Wow, it's burning me!"
There was no time to complain so much, after all, he was left in the office, and after quickly putting the cup to the side, Bezos ran out with his legs and feet.
Today, the entire Cisco company is in an impetuous atmosphere, and no one has the heart to work. But this is normal, because it is only now known that it is just after nine o'clock, and everyone is waiting for a celebration in the customer area office. It's the largest office area for employees at the top of the company, and even if the company has recently expanded to more than 130 people, it will definitely fit everyone!
When Bezos finally went downstairs to the customer service area, it was really full of people, but fortunately, the topic hadn't started yet, everyone was chatting enthusiastically, otherwise, Bezos would be embarrassed to be late.
"Hey, hey, borrowed, I didn't miss anything, right?"
Bhullar was standing near the door, and he had just arrived: "Oh, Jeff, you're just in time, Bosak is already in front, come with me, maybe get closer." ”
There are desks everywhere, people everywhere, desks and corridors are full of colleagues from various departments, and if it weren't for the piles of materials, many people might have just sat down at the table.
After a lot of hardships, Bezos, who has just been in the company for just over a year, successfully squeezed to the front.
"Oh, isn't this Bezos?"
In the noisy chat and noisy atmosphere, Alice had already walked in from the front door of the office area, and when she saw Bezos just squeezing over, her eyes lit up, and she immediately patted him on the shoulder: "How are you doing in the company lately?"
"Awesome, boss!"
Bezos said happily: "Boss, I still want to thank you again, you have helped me too much!"
Alice smiled lightly: "It's just to guide the subject when tackling key problems, there's no need to be so excited, you want to become a world-class rich person, how can you be so easily excited?"
The appearance of the company's big boss is the most eye-catching thing in a company.
Hearing Alice tease Bezos like this, many people immediately burst into laughter.
"Oh, Jeff~! A man who wants to go to the top of the world!"
"Yes, Jeff, according to the words of the boss, the promotion and salary increase will go directly to the CEO, and by the way, you will marry the daughter of a rich family, you will be developed!"
"Don't forget us!"
"I said you ...... Oops......"
Bezos laughed and cried, and he didn't know what kind of luck he had, the girl he first met in the bookstore...... Well, it's the author of the "Jurassic Park" that he Bezos was going to buy at the time, and he accidentally became his boss, not to mention, and always joked that he wanted to become the richest man in the world......
"Isn't it just going to make 18 billion in my life? It's not a lot of money~"
The corner erupted in the joking and amusing voices of colleagues, and Alice patted a gentleman next to her on the shoulder: "See, I said leave a large space for the customer service area, won't this be used?"
"By the way, Sandy has had some new ideas lately. ”
Leonardo Bossa, who is also the company's founder, shareholder and current head of the technology department, was tapped on the shoulder: "She said that the company already has a high percentage of engineers and that we should change our business policy a little. ”
Alice's eyes lit up and she looked at Sandy Bossak, who was greeting other colleagues in the distance, "Oh, you mean ......?"
Bosak whispered, "Since becoming the director of customer service, she has studied a lot of books on sales. When I came home the other day, I was told that the ultimate goal of the company was to sell the product, and the responsibility of the engineering team was only to develop and maintain the product. In terms of staffing ratio, there should be more employees in marketing, rather than more than 70% of the people in the company are engineers, as is the case now. ”
Alice nodded slowly: "Cisco has been established for two years......"
Bosack blinked, a little confused: "yes, what's wrong?"
With two years of entrepreneurial experience in the business world, it's time for Sandy to realize this truth...... Oh, it's okay, I said to myself. ”
Quickly laughing and sloppy with Bossak, Alice suddenly shouted in a high-pitched voice towards the noisy selection: "pay...... attention!”
Seeing that the hundreds of people in the audience were all quiet, Alice smiled slightly, walked in front of everyone, and stood behind the microphone.
"We are a miracle. ”
A loudspeaker in the room pierced her voice into every corner of the room: "Really, we're a miracle." ”
"For the first time ever, a large company with a formal registration was founded by a young girl from a middle school...... Don't laugh, I'm serious. ”
Everyone will not do what she wants, the laughter on the front foot is still relatively sparse, and the back foot immediately turns into laughter.
When the laughter fell, Alice continued: "I don't want to stress my presence too much here. Facts speak louder than words, as a technology-oriented enterprise, real talent and hard work must be implemented in the work, not just by the current flickering, we are not selling stocks. ”
There was another burst of laughter, and if you look closely, the hundreds of programmers in the audience with an average age of more than twenty-five years old are also looking at Alice with admiration.
Everyone was listening to her.
"In the past two years, we have made great achievements, and in the past two years, as an emerging industry, we have become the industry leader in only two years!"
"Two years, my friends, what is the concept of two years? For an ordinary company, even if it is developing very well, how can it become a leader in the industry in just two years!?"
"Cisco is the best!"
"Two years! We are the king of routers!"
"We are the kings of the world!"
“we-are-the-champions,we-are-the-champions,no-time-for-losers,cause-we-are-thechampions-of-the-world~”
Although she was just an ordinary girl on the outside, when Alice shouted such words in a majestic manner, the enthusiasm of all the employees in the audience was fully mobilized!
"Don't sing, bastard, the old lady hasn't finished yet!
Alice's roar triggered another burst of laughter from the big guy, and Bosak stood far away in the corner of the stage, looking at Alice who had finished the roar, with a sneering expression on her face, and she laughed too.
"In short, we're not the same as Apple. I met the owner of a game company some time ago who worked at Apple for four or five years and saw firsthand how the company grew from a small company with 50 employees to a Fortune 500 company with nearly 4,000 employees and an annual revenue of $1 billion in four years after going public. ”
The scene fell silent, and Alice continued: "Apple is one of the pioneers of the PC era, and there are many pioneers in the same period, and after all, it still picks up the achievements of IBM, Dell, and HP. But that's it, it's still managed to make such a big change in four years, such a miracle. ”
"Can we be worse than her!??"
"Absolutely not!"
"We also have an annual profit of 30 million!"
"In the field of Internet hardware, we are pioneers! 30 million in two years! 200 million in four years!"
"Kill Apple, kill Microsoft, kill all ......"
"Idiot, Microsoft also has a boss in the shares, what are you doing? Everyone is a family!"
"Oh............"
Seeing the excitement of these people, who were basically not yet thirty years old, Alice smiled, but shook her head: "Well...... Two hundred million in four years is still a little difficult. ”
She held the microphone in her hand and said: "We are not the same as Apple, Apple is standing on the basis of the already relatively mature computer market, taking advantage of the general trend of PC just coming out, but Cisco is now facing a real blank market." If you really want to describe it, in fact, we are now equivalent to the blue giant of the past......"
This sentence once again caused a burst of laughter from everyone in the audience!
"Yes, yes ~ the blue giant who died a while ago, my dear friends~"
said this, in fact, Alice herself was also weird in her heart.
After all, the Prism Gate incident ......
"And we, Cisco, are also standing on a new height on the shoulders of the blue giant!"
As soon as the conversation changed, Alice said in a loud voice: "Fools, do you think that my speech this time is just to inspire!?"
"It's a task assigned to you, I'm an evil capitalist!"
"There's an order coming down soon, do you know what!?"
Seeing that all the employees in the audience, including the Bossaks, also immediately pricked up their ears, Alice shouted loudly: "The order personally placed by President Reagan at the Pentagon will be for me, Washington, D.C., and the four economically developed continents in the East, and all government departments will collectively purchase our routers, as well as the switches that have just passed the final inspection two days ago!"
"This is a huge order with a turnover of more than 50 million US dollars, why don't you move it for the old lady!"
At this moment, everyone who passed by the vicinity of Cisco's headquarters in San Jose turned their stunned eyes to this building. I don't know where the roar of cheers rang out, almost tearing up the ceiling...... (To be continued.) )
