"The changes in shareholding are as follows. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

At sunset, Sophie held the printed document in her hand and handed it to the Bossaks, saying, "On top of the original 50 percent, Alice will put another five million dollars in cash into Cisco Systems, which will be included in the owner's equity as paid-up capital, and thus increase her stake to 70 percent, and reduce the proportion of your two shares to 15 percent each." ”

While the couple flipped through the documents with ugly faces, Sophie continued: "Furthermore, the current fixed assets, intangible assets, accounts receivable, bank deposits and cash in hand of Cisco Systems will be debited to the second level account of paid-in capital of the owner's equity, with an amount of 8 million US dollars, and a debit capital reserve of 270,000 US dollars. The above are the company's current total assets. ”

"So, Alice's shares are currently worth $5.6 million, and your husband and wife are each worth $1.2 million. The above is the distribution of the property of the current shareholders of Cisco Systems, and the specific situation is detailed in the document. ”

Sophie is a lawyer and a senior Chartered Accountant and Chartered Certified Accountant in the United Kingdom. In fact, at that time, she was basically studying for a graduate degree and a doctorate in law at Harvard, one of the four major international accounting firms, PricewaterhouseCoopers.

Moreover, Sophie was stunned to achieve work, study, and life, and became a senior manager in the firm while being admitted to the doctorate. It can be said that if it weren't for the fact that she happened to be pregnant with Alice at that time, if she stayed up for another year or two, she might have been able to become a partner at PricewaterhouseCoopers, and the annual salary of one million dollars was not even a stone's throw away.

It can be said that if she is assigned a small team, even if she makes an audit report for the headquarters of a Fortune 100 company, it is just simple manual work. As for now, it is just a financial statement for a "little guy" with total assets worth tens of millions, and it is really not difficult to speak of it.

In one afternoon, strictly speaking, in just two hours, the work was over.

"Alas...... I'm ashamed. ”

Looking at the documents, Posack shook his head and sighed: "Although we know that the company's prospects will definitely be very good, who knows that it will develop so fast." It's only been a year, and the two of us are really tired to barely finish the work, and if it goes on like this, I'm afraid I'm going to die early. ”

Alice looked at Bossak pitifully, obviously only a man in his early thirties, but after a few weeks, his dark circles had obviously worsened a lot. Including Sandy, too, the hairstyle can't be messed up, but the skin has obviously not been cared for for a long time, and the traces of not sleeping are very obvious.

"After all, there are only two people in the company at present, and after two days to recruit more employees, you will naturally be relaxed. ”

As she spoke, she did glance around suspiciously: "Anyway, although our company has a low starting point, we have made a lot of money, right? Although I was not in the United States at the end of last year, you won't hire a single employee, right? ”

Sandy glanced at Sophie with some weakness, and when she saw that she was sorting through the company documents, she smiled dryly at Alice and exchanged glances with her husband in a hidden manner.

Sandy really doesn't want to let go.

From the very beginning of the establishment of the company, Sandy just wanted to be the "boss", after all, Alice is just a little girl, and her family is not computer professionals at all, although there are technical shares, but in her opinion, how can they be treated equally? It just so happens that Alice, as a partner, has indeed handed over the management rights to them, so Sandy has always been quite satisfied, and even thinks that this girl is quite interesting.

As for recruiting employees, although some time ago, Alice did bring the first huge orders to the company, and then with the word of mouth of those customers, business gradually improved, and there was no shortage of funds. But the thought of having to pay people as a boss makes Sandy disgusted.

After all, the salary level of a programmer is really not low, and the monthly salary of any one person will reach the level of the two of them combined when they were teachers. It's not that I can't do it myself, why spend so much money to hire employees, isn't it better to save that money to buy luxury houses and famous cars?

But now, Sandy sometimes looks back and thinks about it, Alice, this girl, I am afraid that she has foreseen this day a long time ago, right?

The ideal is good, that is, to get rid of the debt-ridden poverty of life. But within the first three months of the business, Sandy quickly realized that starting a business was really too hard, so hard that there was no end to her work day and night, and there was not much time to enjoy the affluent life. Even though the company's profits have increased a lot recently, and she can save up to buy a large mansion in Beverly or Long Island, she doesn't even have a chance to get herself a new Lamborghini.

So today, when she sees that Alice is going to become the company's super-large shareholder in one fell swoop according to the earlier agreement, Sandy is really full of strange emotions and doesn't know how to say it.

With a 70% equity ratio, even if she is not the company's management, or even if it is the board of directors, even if she is not the incumbent chairman, everything will be decided.

"In terms of financing, you can continue to look for it, it is nothing more than to find it quickly when you are short of money, and look for it slowly when you are not short of money, but you can not let go of the opportunity for your company to rush into funds no matter what the circumstances. ”

By the time the dust had settled, the night was of course deep, but no one had any plans to eat. Sitting in the largest room of the office, which is equivalent to the "living room", guarding a pile of filing cabinets and computers around them, Alice's mother and daughter and Sandy have a meeting.

"Of the $5 million I just injected, I set aside a million to pay for recruiting staff and expanding my office space. In terms of specific recruitment, priority is given to recruiting about ten marketing specialists, cough cough, that is, salesmen, after all, the market decides everything. Then, the customer recruited three or two people, and the rest of the funds were used to recruit engineers, except for the expansion of office space. ”

"I've been thinking about a question recently, the current Cisco product is only this router, is our product chain too simple? Even if it was the standard oil of the year, at least it should be divided into gasoline, diesel, and kerosene, right?"

The corners of Alice's mouth twitched.

How can these guys, like the Italian chocolatiers, like Rockefeller as an example?

Just like the people of later generations open their mouths and shut up Bill Gates?

Seems to make some sense.

Without blinking her eyes, Alice said without thinking, "Then adjust the power." Sandy, what is the performance of our current router?"

Sandy was stopped by the cold question: "Performance ...... Of course, it is easy to connect multiple computers to achieve ......"

"The computer is directly connected to the entrance five, that is, five computers can be connected at the same time, which is enough for enterprises with less than 50 people, or even 100 people, as long as you buy a few more. But if it's a company with a larger number of people, too many routers can cause management chaos, at least the speed will suffer...... You know what I mean?"

Sandy suddenly realized: "You want to increase the number of interfaces on the LAN?"

"That's right, with the increasing popularity of computers, more and more enterprises will continue to increase the number of computer purchases, which has new requirements for the construction of corporate LANs. If you only use the router to directly connect a few computers, with the characteristics of their shared lines, it will definitely cause a series of problems such as network speed drops. ”

"So, it was necessary for us to work on a new type of machine. If the router is to realize the connection between computers in a small area, then this new machine should realize the exclusive electrical signal path in a large area and at any two network nodes...... What comes to mind?"

Sophie just sat in silently, as a note-taker and witness to the company's meetings. After Alice asked another question, both the Bosses were very uncomfortable with her rapid speech, so before the two could come up with anything, Alice spoke directly.

She shrugged and said, "It's like...... Telephone exchange or that kind of thing~?"

In this way, Bosak said dumbly: "You mean, using the mode of telephone exchange, inventing a network exchange?"

Sandy frowned: "This idea...... What principle are you based on?"

It's no wonder that the two professors didn't keep up with the rhythm a bit, after all, Alice spoke too fast, and she was still a prophet after all. When normal people put forward ideas, who doesn't start directly from the idea itself, for example, Steve Jobs's famous wayward sentence is: "I don't want my Apple Lisa to have a fan, just this result, you can do it yourself!"

Not to mention the specific measures to make the computer without a fan, Alice's approach is to directly throw out the measures, or the name of the product, and completely skip the process of telling the idea. In this way, no matter how professional the audience is, how can it be reflected in three or two seconds?

"That's right, figuratively speaking, the router is like a street in a residential area, which can accommodate walking, scooters, bicycles, cars, school buses, several modes of transportation, the characteristics of the router, accommodating a variety of network protocols, that's it, compared to building a road for each way, of course, a road is easier in the end. ”

"But the most obvious drawback of the residential neighborhood streets...... Of course, it's a matter of traffic, and if you increase the scale a little, it will have to be chaotic. The switch is like a highway, everyone is honestly running on their own roads, and they don't interfere with each other. This network switch that I have come up with now is one such device. ”

Looking at the pensive and surprised eyes of the Bossacks, Alice bared her mouth full of white teeth and showed a bright and smug smile to her mother.
