Chapter 487, we Silicon Valley people, that's called healthy competition!
And just like that, the work of the inauguration ceremony was completed. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
What the Los Angeles Times will say tomorrow is not something that Alice needs to focus on right now. After bidding farewell to the government officials, she was followed by a crowd of people, surrounded by more than a dozen middle-aged men in suits and leather shoes, and everyone took a spacious high-speed elevator to the upper floors of the building.
"This is the conference room. ”
Alice was the first to open the door. The extremely spacious conference room has a glass curtain wall on one side, which can directly overlook the entire Angel City from a height of nearly 600 meters, and on one side is of course the wall of the conference room, but it is also composed of completely transparent glass walls. As a large office building, a sufficient sense of space is a must-have.
"Wow, that's amazing!"
Brown-gray suit, slightly oversized glasses, Bill Gates happily came to the window: "Seattle's space needle is not so high!"
"The Empire State Building and the World Trade Center are also choking enough, but the key is that there are buildings everywhere, and there is no such a good view. Paul Allen stood by his friend's side. A high-end enough meeting to make everyone unrestrained, and the two CEOs of Microsoft are not in a hurry to sit down. Behind the few dozens of skyscrapers is a whole plain metropolis, and the city of angels from a bird's-eye view is not ordinarily beautiful.
"The table is wide, and it seems to be a ...... Mahogany?" Intel's chairman, Gordon Moore, walked slowly and carefully stroked the surface of the conference table. It was a large table that could seat fifty people without being cramped, and wide enough to seat a Jordan, and it obviously had to be a patchwork structure, otherwise where else would I find such a large plank.
"The price of Brazilian sandalwood is just like that. Alice paced at the head of the conference table with a smile, today's ceremony was not really in her eyes, and it was the most important thing to bring this group together. It's not an old-fashioned women's suit, but a long, well-styled white dress that goes well with Sophie's black suit.
That's right, Sophie......
Alice looked at the door, a little later than the group, and in the order of her mother Sophie in front and her secretary Monica behind, the two pushed the door and entered the room.
"Mr. Ellison," Sophie immediately extended her hand to the CEO of Oracle in Redwood Beach, San Francisco, the head of today's guest of honor, "Again, welcome to today, I am very confident in the prospects of cooperation between Cisco and Oracle." ”
"It's also my pleasure, Ms. Wang. Larry Ellison, who was just forty-five years old at the time, was well-dressed today, and looked like a dog, as Alice whispered. After shaking Sophie's hand, he didn't forget to spit out a series of compliments until he was interrupted by Alice.
"The chit-chat is over, let's get down to business. Come on, Mom, Monica. ”
Putting aside Ellison, and then taking Sophie's hand and walking towards the seat, Alice took the opportunity to chew on the root of her ear: "I said Mom, you have to stay away from that guy, I can ask him about the cologne smell from three meters away, it's like a humanoid sprinkler!"
Sophie chuckled and sniffed, "Who's to say it wasn't, I almost didn't sneeze just now." ”
The gossip was very short, and soon the dozen or so people present were seated, and Monica and Sophie were on either side of Alice, one on the left and one on the right.
Alice put her hands on the table and made an opening remark: "Well, everyone, good morning." ”
Judging by the relevance of his career, Oracle's Ellison can be said to be the only outsider in the audience. In addition, Microsoft's Gates and Allen, Cisco's Bossak couple, Intel's Gordon Moore, and the two founders of A&A, both of whom are closely related to Alice, are all Silicon Valley people who are closely related to Alice, and they all sit on the right side of the conference table and sit in an unspoken order.
But at the same time, several boss-level figures who are not yet known to most people, but also have their own circles, also gathered together and sat on the right side of the conference table.
A small name brand is placed on the table, and Sophie's identity in the audience is also distinct, and the identity of the CEO of the US headquarters of "Oscar & Hannah International Clothing Co., Ltd.", does it still have to be held by an outsider? Although the market for this brand is still only in China-level Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, her daily related phone calls are just chatting with Ashley's mother.
Maimi's father, Akaman of Blackwater International, knew at a glance that he was a military figure, and everyone knew that the security personnel at today's ceremony were arranged by him. He sat in second place on Alice's right hand, and with the same black hair, he naturally attracted the attention of many people.
Sissi's father, DreamWorks CEO, Roger Lawrence, sat comfortably in the third seat and almost slipped under the table. The French father is obviously in a good mood today, just looking at his light-toned suit, you can understand that the summer release of "Batman" in June has made the company famous and profitable.
Then the fourth and fifth places are the people who are not well known to everyone present, but who are obviously more extraordinary in their status, in addition to the absolute outsider and distinguished guest Ellison.
"Li Zeju and Zekai brothers, Victor and Richard, the two eldest sons of Li Ka-shing, chairman of Hong Kong's Cheung Kong Group. Richard is now the General Manager of Vanda in the UK and serves as his Umbrella counterpart, while Victor is sitting here as General Manager of Hutchison Whampoa USA. ”
Although they all knew who was who, after Alice's words fell, the audience still heard a lot of applause accurately and neatly. Naturally, the two brothers who got up in turn also sat down in applause one after another.
"Today is the day when the building is completed, I don't have to say, basically not for rent~"
On the left hand, she picked up the water poured by Monica and took a sip, Alice smiled: "Regarding which floor our company's offices and branches are arranged, and how to arrange this kind of thing, we will have a document directly marked when we go back." What I want to talk about now is the future development path of our emerging group. ”
It's an incredible scene.
Sophie is an exception, Akaman is somewhat subtle, looking at the crowd, how many of them are under the age of thirty?
These complete adults, but all of them let a seventeen-year-old girl sit in the lead, when she proposed the word "development path", everyone was not only amused, but their expressions became more and more solemn. Even the treatment that ordinary rich second generations in power cannot enjoy, but it really happened here.
"The world is in the midst of a new revolution brought about by computers, and this revolution will not be less powerful than the electrical revolution before World War I, but will only be more powerful. Gentlemen, and especially the gentlemen of Silicon Valley who are sitting to my left, please note that we are the leaders. ”
With Gordon Moore as the first person, the Silicon Valley circle immediately burst into a chuckle. Gates stuck out his tongue mischievously, Paul Allen whistled, Larry Ellison nodded thoughtfully, and Leonardo Bossak and his wife, with a look of complete agreement.
"Although...... We haven't brought in all the heavyweights in this room, such as the CEO of IBM, or a few veterans of Hewlett-Packard, or Apple...... Oh Bill, of course I know it doesn't have a future, but I can't get in touch with Jobs right now. ”
In the previous sentence, she looked like a big boss, and in the next second, she became a little sister who was arguing with her big brother, and Alice instantly contrasted so much that it caused a lot of laughter from everyone present.
"In short, I believe that all of us in Silicon Valley feel a strong sense of mission. The topic started again, and everyone became serious again, and although Ackman, Lawrence and the others on the right didn't care about themselves for the time being, they all listened carefully.
"I also believe that everyone will definitely strive to grow the company with the ideal of 'making life better'. Because of the obvious effect, inferior peer competition such as 'which is better between his eggs and mine', and 'which is better between Shell and Mobil', can be avoided in our Silicon Valley......"
Rockefeller, what a naughty little girl, watching this young boss with a serious mouth bubbling, the arc of the corners of the mouths of everyone present hooked, and he couldn't take it back;1.
In other words, even if there is competition among our companies in Silicon Valley, it is a kind of healthy competition, and its whole, that is, computer technology, is always developing. But like other industries...... Be reasonable, guys, who accounts for the majority of the market between Coca-Cola and Pepsi, and who of you cares?"
"Poof!"
Before anyone else could laugh, Roger Lawrence suddenly squirted all the Coke out of his mouth!
"Oh my, be careful!" sat across from him with Sandy Bossak, who exclaimed, "We've got a full line!"
Leonardo, as well as Larry Ellison, who was invited, hurriedly got up to find handsome paper, which was full of tables, and Lawrence, of course, was not idle, quickly got up and wiped the table, and did not forget to apologize
"I'm so embarrassed, I'm so embarrassed......"
Alice sat in the chief and laughed, "I said Uncle Roger, why are you so excited?"
Everyone also laughed and looked at Lawrence's embarrassment, he was quickly wiping the last bit of stain, and said with a wry smile: "Because I care, don't you know that I am also an investor? I lost $30 million to Coca-Cola during the '87' stock market crash, and I also invested in Pepsi!"
"Ha, Roger, you can't do that. Sophie smiled, her slender fingers drawing circles, and then pointed precisely at Lawrence's Coke bottle: "Pepsi shareholders, how can they buy Coca-Cola?"
Well, now, everyone in the audience really can't laugh, at least Akaman doesn't give face to his old friend at all, and laughs more happily than anyone else!
Anyway, everyone's girl boss is also the one who laughs the most, so let's laugh together~
