April is a busy season. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

After going public, Microsoft ushered in its period of rapid development, and the company hired new employees every day. When the news of the company's IPO in July 1986 broke, the company's stock price ushered in a new surge, and the next day there were articles in the financial media commenting on how different the operating system would be compared to the previous one.

And when many people were interested, when Microsoft held that press conference, the official clearly stated that it was "the crystallization of the wisdom of all engineers working together." ”

In other words, it was not developed by the company's second largest shareholder, technical consultant Alice Wang?

With the company's listing, in line with the public's demand for information disclosure of listed companies and curiosity about celebrities, in mid-April, Bill Gates appeared on a talk show for the first time. As a college dropout who has managed to go public for a decade, his experience is so legendary that when this episode aired, I don't know how many people from inside and outside the industry watched it, and Gates's photo of himself immediately appeared on the front page of the Seattle Daily News.

It was on this talk show that Gates revealed various details about Alice.

"When she handed us the disk with the software engraved on it, the whole company was dumbfounded. At that time, Paul and I even held an executive meeting to thoroughly investigate commercial espionage in the company, but it turned out that this was indeed Alice's own production after learning about our Windows development!"

"She is a very thoughtful girl, and she is a very good learner, and her logical thinking skills are as good as computers. I saw with my own eyes how she was able to memorize all the common Norwegian words she knew nothing about in three hours from scratch!"

In addition to introducing Alice to everyone, Gates also expressed his views on the recent IBM incident.

In particular, there was a forced suspension of a certain cooperation.

"Yes, the matter of Microsoft and IBM jointly developing an Internet-based operating system at the end of last year has been terminated after many consultations between the two of us. ”

At this point in the interview, everyone can clearly see how serious and depressed the face of this up-and-coming multimillionaire in his early thirties is.

But then, he made a piece of news: "But Microsoft will continue to work on the project, and the revamped project will be renamed as a system, or new-technology, and we will prepare it for the first wave of new employees after we go public." According to the suggestion of Alice, the technical consultant of the project team, we will establish a technical team of about 200 people by June. ”

At the scene of the show, when Gates suddenly said the news, you can imagine how excited the audience was. Of course, the moderator will not let go of this opportunity, and immediately asked: "The team will be established by June, so how long will the project itself last?"

"It's going to be a long time. ”

The picture displayed on the TV was very clear, and Gates's expression was frank and serious: "The IBM intrusion incident has given people all over the world a warning that every enterprise must be cautious and cautious about network information security. This new system is for server computers, and I'm sure no one wants us to push it to market in a so-so way, right?"

It is precisely because of this first round of interviews after the listing that Microsoft's stock price increased by 15% again after the opening of the next day, becoming a bright new star on the NASDAQ exchange!

On the other hand, there is the blue-chip stock of IBM, which is listed on the New York Stock Exchange and is now so dismal that almost no one cares about it......

For more than a month, the Blue Giant has held two press conferences, focusing on explaining his innocence, and twice fell into chaos. Readers of all financial newspapers in the United States clearly remember that the news picture the day after its second press conference, the bridge of the nose of the then CEO of IBM, Akol, was hit by a leather shoe thrown at the time, which has become the biggest joke in the industry.

So in late April, no one was surprised when the Nasdaq exchange took IBM to federal court.

Alice was even more pleased with this, and gloated.

However, neither Gates's interview nor IBM's continued bad luck was that she was not involved in the entire month of April. Because, an equally important matter, is waiting for her to be busy herself.

Location, DreamWorks Reception Room.

The door was opened.

A Japanese man in his forties walked into the room, even wearing a typical suit, although he was not very tall, but his temperament was serious, and the brown eyes on his face gave people a deep momentum.

"Let me introduce you. ”

Another black-haired man walked into the house quickly, his eyes like falcons, but it was Maiya's Greek father, with the rank of lieutenant colonel, who was the leader of the Delta Special Forces Squadron at the time, Akaman.

"Alice, this is Sextant Fumihiko, the mechanical designer I hired for you. Sextant, this is Alice Wang, your boss. ”

The man stepped forward and bowed slightly to the girl: "First meeting, please advise." ”

"Oh, I'm glad I will. ”

Alice withdrew her outstretched hand, then looked curiously at the man who was almost her father, "I've read your resume, Mr. Sextant." It's really rare that you've been in the U.S. since high school, and you still have Japanese etiquette. ”

"Because I never became a U.S. citizen. ”

The man named Sextant said calmly: "It seems that Miss Wang has read my resume, have you decided to hire me?"

What I said is really grateful for his emotional intelligence......

"I graduated from MIT with a bachelor's degree, a master's degree from Caltech, and then went to Princeton to study advanced mathematics at the doctoral level, and worked for seven years at the world's top arms dealer, General Electric. Such a man with a legendary experience actually wants to work as a mechanical designer on the crew of a film company......"

Alice looked at the sextant with interest: "Men with stories are the easiest to fascinate women, can you take the liberty of asking, why were you persuaded by Akaman?"

Sextant had no intention of concealing it, and said very calmly: "After all, GE is a military enterprise, and Japan's economy is highly developed, so my communication with many colleagues is often troubled. So I don't think it's appropriate for me to continue working in that kind of military-industrial complex until the economic crisis in Japan. ”

Wow......

Very good and strong reasons.

The front foot also said that he had never become an American citizen, and then he expected an economic crisis in his motherland, this uncle, is it really okay for you to do this?

"Okay, I'll leave you alone with the reason for all that mess, I'll show you something first. ”

Alice didn't bother to care so much about the Japanese's own affairs, so she turned around and picked up a file bag from the sofa: "This is a design drawing I prepared yesterday, you can take a good look." ”

Naturally, the sextant did not doubt him, so he immediately took it and sat on the sofa to unseal it.

At the same time, Akaman nodded and said, "It seems that there is no problem, then I'll go." ”

Alice stepped forward and put her hand on Akaman's shoulder quite affectionately: "Hehe, Uncle Levi, don't be in a hurry, I have a lot of things to do with you at this time." ”

Before the words fell, the sextant who had just taken out a thick stack of drawings looked up and said, "Then please go to the corridor and continue, I need to concentrate." ”

Alice: "............"

As soon as Forefoot and Acaman walked out of the reception room and closed the door, she immediately muttered, "I said Uncle Levi, the reason why this guy can't work at GE must be self-inflicted, right?"

"Haha, but his expertise is really outstanding. ”

Akman nodded and smiled: "If you just talk to him about technical things, it's not a problem, at most...... Well, if other experts make some mistakes, they will definitely be criticized by him. ”

Alice nodded, "Then that's fine, hey, Levi, what's going on with Ducky?"

"Black Reef Trade. ”

Akaman nodded and said, "In this morning's call, Daqi has already contacted the branch of the Hong Kong Triad in Roanapura, and now he is transporting some ordinary goods for them. In other words, the business is officially opened. ”

"What is a triad......?"

Alice narrowed her eyes: "It's okay, let him develop little by little, after all, he just set off from Barbados in January." Then uncle, I'm giving you a mission......"

"It's time for our Blackwater International to choose a training ground, right?"

Akaman nodded clearly: "You give some specific requirements first, so that it is more convenient for me to run errands." The deserts of Arizona, New Mexico, and the Gobi of Texas -- there are so many places to do training grounds. ”

"Hmph, in this regard, I have already chosen a target. ”

Without him, Alice said with a smile: "There is a lot of cheap land in the Great Disneymore Swamp in North Carolina, and the training base, the harder it is, the more it can reflect our professionalism, what do you say?"

"Great Dismore Marsh?"

Akaman suddenly realized: "I really know this place, three years ago, several teams did special training there, and it was a natural training ground. If you build a base there, it will definitely help the company's publicity. ”

Then, looking around, he saw that the silent corridor didn't look like someone would eavesdrop, and whispered, "Alice, are you sure we can get the support of Vice President Bush?"

At this sentence, his volume was extremely low.

"Don't worry, Uncle Levi. ”

Alice also smiled in a low voice, and leaned her head towards him: "Because I introduced my Cisco to the Pentagon, now Bush is popular with the military, as long as he ......."

Suddenly, the door to the conference room opened.

Sextant Yi Wenyan, this Japanese man who was only forty years old was completely calm just now, holding a thick stack of design drawings in his hand, and said excitedly: "Miss Wang, these things were designed by you!?" )
