Chapter 15: Going to Stanford (3)

"If the company is really formed, this is a business with a surprisingly high operating profit, and you don't plan to make it bigger?"

Hearing Bosack's words, Alice's astonishment could no longer be described in words. Pen~Fun~Ge www.biquge.info God knows, Cisco Systems is facing a 100 billion dollar market, and the entire world's Internet construction needs to buy routers, switches and other equipment. But now, the founder of history says that he doesn't plan to make the company bigger!?

"Of course, Santi and I are just ordinary teachers after all."

Looking at the charming sunset outside the window, although Bosak was still wearing a neat suit, at this moment, in Alice's opinion, there was a feeling of drooping old age: "If we really develop the company too big, how can we manage it?" Isn't it interesting to have a small and medium-sized business that sells routers, pushes products that affect human change to the world, and then sits on the couch and watches the world change? ”

After saying this, Bosak even grinned at Alice.

Under the charming sunset outside the window, a literary and artistic style emerges spontaneously.

Well, in theory, it does.

Alice thought as she gritted her teeth.

But Miss Ben is not as conscious as you!

With a net worth of $350 billion, but only driving a small Alto, eating hamburgers all day long?

Zuckerberg's motto is frugality, and I'm not!

Alice knows better than anyone else the future trend of social development, so that the founder of the Internet world, Cisco, only exists as an ordinary small and medium-sized enterprise, so how can it!?

"But two, now is the moment of great development of the computer industry."

She rubbed her temples vigorously and said, "You see, in the last few months, I invented the router, and Mr. Eagle is working on it, but what about other schools and businesses?" It is estimated that in seven or eight years, companies of the same type will bloom everywhere in Silicon Valley, right? ”

"We are one step ahead now, after all, Stanford is the cradle of the entire Silicon Valley, and Iggy has just started researching, and it is estimated that other scientific research institutions will not make any progress, if we don't seize this opportunity to make the company bigger, wouldn't it be a pity?"

She glanced at James, who had been with him all afternoon, even if Oscar couldn't help but go out to play.

At this moment, seeing his daughter's gaze for help, he stood up.

"The life span of a healthy enterprise is measured in years, and no one knows what the future will look like. So, Mr. Bosak may have said it a little earlier, but Vivi, you don't have to be in such a hurry, haven't we registered the company yet? ”

As he spoke, while Bossak was just looking at Santi, James also winked at Alice, signaling her to calm down.

Well, that makes sense.

After a slight agitation, Alice did calm down.

She was really anxious, and she recalled that it seemed that in the history of Cisco's development, the Bossaks, as the founders, really had no intention of making the company bigger.

If memory serves, it seems that Santi only intends to target the company's annual earnings at $10 million, or the ultimate goal.

When the gap between the concept and reality widened, that is, Cisco's development far exceeded the couple's expectations, it seemed that it had been 89 or 90 years. And then, combined with a variety of other reasons, they were kicked out of the board of directors of the company they founded, which can be said to be quite a typical case.

I'm worried about their thoughts now, it's really too worrying.

"Enterprise? Oh, and you're planning to set up a business? ”

At this time, Eagle suddenly raised his head from a pile of computers and looked around blankly: "Santi, are you planning to set up a business?" Is it with dear Alice? ”

Alice blinked, for this guy who was still in a daze than Chen Jingrun, she didn't expect how high the other party's EQ could be from the beginning.

Isn't it for the purpose of setting up a business, Miss Ben came here with her family to go shopping?

"yes, Bill, the prospects for this router are too broad."

Santi's Chanel suit was neat and clean, and even after a long day's work, like Bossak's suit, it didn't stain much dust: "Hasn't Alice also analyzed it, and every school and business can definitely use it, and under their leadership, the computer network landscape of the whole country and even the whole world will change." Shouldn't we set up a business for this, you say? ”

Indeed, it is a natural thing to do. If you don't set up a business, you can't sell products and make profits, so you can't work for free and pay money to major companies to make routers, right? Even if Bossak claims that he is not after money, people live in the real world, right?

Eagle nodded in understanding, then lowered his head and began to read the stack of papers.

Since the sun is about to set, there is naturally no reason for Alice and others to stay in the office anymore, and at the end of the day, everyone has a full understanding of the performance of this router.

That is, great!

Intel's 80826 processor consists of a full 134,000 transistors, a 16-bit structure, and a frequency of 20MHz, which is already the most advanced CPU at present. Driven by it, the maximum network speed reached as much as a few kilobytes, which made Bosak and others dazzled.

Although, in Alice's opinion, of course, it is still extremely rubbish.

Don't talk about the Core multi-core, the Pentium Four, ah not the Pentium Three, even the Pentium Two can blow it up ten streets.

As for those few kilobytes of internet speed...... Ahem.

But no one else thinks so!

Bill Iggy was still working, and after saying goodbye to him, the crowd switched locations to Mr. and Mrs. Bossa's home in San Mateo.

Located in a green, middle-class neighborhood in Silicon Valley, it's about a 10-mile drive from Stanford University and half the drive to San Francisco.

In the spacious living room, at the rectangular dining table, the Alice family was hospitalized.

"It's so much faster, it's small, it's cheap, it's so much more convenient than the computer we use now!"

"Is that computer expensive?"

Hannah, who was sitting on the edge, was wearing a white dress with long red wavy hair, and smiled charmingly: "I heard Weiwei say, it seems that the volume is still very large?" ”

It wasn't until the dinner table that Bossak's neat suit came into play, and he smiled and raised his glass to Hannah: "That's right, it's expensive, it's heavy, before your sister invented this router, all universities and businesses had to buy that guy if they wanted to use the Internet." ”

"But now, with this router, the cost of building the network has been reduced many times!"

Santi's tone was impassioned: "Why don't we prepare to register the company tomorrow, how about choosing the registered address here?" Stanford is so close to Silicon Valley, full of companies in the computer industry, that's all our potential customers, the market is right in front of us, San Jose's airport allows us to get to Seattle in two hours, and the transportation is very convenient! ”

When Santi finished saying this, Alice's eyes immediately met that of her mother.

Sophie put down her knife and fork and said slowly, "Mrs. Bossack, do you mean, do you want the company to be registered in San Francisco?" ”

"San Francisco? Oh, that's a great idea, why not? ”

At this moment, the restaurant was especially quiet, with Posack himself sitting silently at the head, and Santi holding her chest high, her clothes still extremely clean: "Originally, I wanted to register in San Jose, but downtown San Francisco is an hour's drive from Stanford, and it is even closer to our house. Mrs. Wang, your proposal is really just right! ”

"San Francisco, it's a bit far from Los Angeles."

At this moment, it was still Sophie who spoke, and neither James nor Alice interjected, allowing the certified lawyer at home, a Harvard law Ph.D., to dominate the scene.

"It's not easy for us to come to the office, but if you're in Los Angeles, it's a bit far away for you. Why don't we compromise and set it up in Santa Barbara? Or Santa Mary? ”

Both addresses are in the south-south region of California, one 60 miles from Los Angeles and the other only twice as far. In comparison, it will take twice as long to travel south from San Francisco and San Jose.

"But compared to Silicon Valley, these two locations don't have many advantages."

Just by looking at her eyes, Santi is an extremely outgoing and very strong woman, and she responds calmly to Sophie's proposal: "And the land price in Los Angeles is still very expensive, and as a company in the computer industry, there are no additional resources available in the traditional metropolis. But Silicon Valley is different, not only is its land price not as high as Los Angeles, but it is surrounded by similar companies, which has an incomparable advantage in employee recruitment. Alice, what do you say? ”

In the last sentence, Santi threw the ball at Alice.

Looking at her eagle-like gaze, Alice smiled slightly.

"This kind of thing is just casual because after all, our product is an Internet device. As you've always expected, when it starts to efficiently promote the development of the network across the country and around the world, does it matter if the address is in San Francisco or Los Angeles, Silicon Valley or along Highway 101? ”

Alice knew that her words were a little too vague and too ahead of her time, so without any suspense, the Bosses were a little stunned.

But it's true.

As the world's largest Internet hardware seller and Internet solution provider in the future, Cisco is of course the first company to put almost all business solutions on the network. While this is not unusual in the 21st century, when Cisco did it, it was still in the 90s!
