Chapter 285: Tripartite Cooperation
Ge You once famously said: In the 21st century, talent is the most important. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
For arms dealers and the Pentagon, Alice is undoubtedly such a figure.
Although Alice lives a very low-key life in ordinary days, her talent is unquestionable. Maybe for ordinary people, her achievements seem to just seem bluffing, but for people in any industry, there are actually countless people talking about Alice's various things.
First of all, what is the concept of a 12-year-old girl who single-handedly produces the operating system of an entire computer, and it can be directly thrown into the market for sale?
Just look at how many programmers there are in the world, and how many companies and institutions have put in how much effort to develop their corresponding products, it is enough to make people understand thoroughly.
What's more, when Alice took this technology and took a stake in Microsoft, it was a typical comparison in itself.
At that time, Microsoft had a total of 55 programmers, although it didn't seem like a lot, but who could be called a programmer at this time was not a top student who graduated from an Ivy League school? So, what is the concept that a person is equal to 55 people, a week for a 12-year-old girl, and 55 programmers who enjoy a monthly salary of nearly 10,000 yuan, and have struggled for nearly a year?
It is believed that if Alice was not famous in the industry, she would have been a business boss-level figure, not an ordinary worker. Then, large computer companies such as IBM, Intel, Hewlett-Packard, and even Japanese companies such as Sony, and even Lockheed, which requires a lot of programming, will immediately give Alice CTO such a position with an annual salary of one million, and give it with option shares or even direct shares, come on such a strange talent to lock it firmly.
The way to the pinnacle of life every second.
And that's just one of Alice's achievements.
The second achievement was the establishment of Cisco. With technology-oriented as the core competitiveness, it has created a whole new industry, the Internet hardware industry. Moreover, although the company it founded has only been three years ago, it has achieved a monthly profit of 30 million US dollars, and firmly holds the leading position in the industry, leaving the second-ranked Lucent Technology behind a big stage, what is this concept?
Alice was still only twelve years old at the time.
When a young girl who is no more than fifteen years old has already created two technical myths, people naturally have higher expectations for her. So, when you're suddenly showing countless next-generation weapons in a movie, how can you not get people to think about it again -- can you actually design them?
After all, at least in terms of the Gauss-powered firearms used by the Marines in Alien II, they weren't too tall and unattainable.
"So, let me sort things out."
At this moment, Alice was sitting in the conference room, and after walking a long distance full of time needles, she spoke slowly, intending to make a concluding remark.
She looked around first.
At the oval conference table, she was facing the chief Secretary of Defense Weinberg. He is surrounded by two bigwigs from Lockheed and General Dynamics, and by his side are seven or eight generals from the three major armies of the US military.
At this moment, everyone's eyes are focused on Alice, who is the undeserved focus of the whole room.
"My learning ability is very good, and I am also very good at turning theory into practice after touching the class. If I were asked to design a new weapon, it would be perfectly fine in theory, and at most it would give me some time to get acquainted with it. ”
First of all, he threw out an affirmative reply, and sure enough, everyone in the room showed smiles of relief and excitement. Then, Alice continued to speak slowly: "It can be seen that we are now in a multi-party cooperative relationship. You at the Pentagon are the customers and the providers of R&D funds; Lockheed and General Dynamics, as established arms dealers, are direct producers of products; I am in charge of R&D, and from the perspective of actual efficiency, I alone should be equal to a whole high-tech R&D team. ”
Alice said very calmly, and at the same time did not forget to observe the expressions of the people.
Indeed, when she positioned her role to such an extent, no one questioned or heard a joke-like expression, and all listened attentively. Oron Lockheed even nodded approvingly, albeit to an almost imperceptible degree, but it also made Alice notice.
"But I'm not a military entrepreneur myself, and I have my own business to be busy with, not a job seeker who is struggling to find a job. If I were asked to do R&D with some special teams every day and night, like a traditional technician, I'm sorry, I refuse. ”
said so, but of course it didn't block the topic, so everyone quietly waited for her next step. It's just very clear that almost everyone's eyes are constantly flickering, and they are all making their own little calculations.
"So, I think we should be able to make a special contract, a three-way employment contract. Mr. Lockheed, and Mr. Clark, it seems, is your Pentagon's partner for me? ”
As she said this, Alice glanced at Dominique Flair, the head of the National Security Agency.
She hadn't forgotten what had just happened. It was clear that Flair himself called her to the Pentagon on the phone, but it was indeed the Secretary of Defense who met with her. When Flair easily barged in with the excuse that he was "delayed by other work", it didn't take half a minute for the other two arms dealer bosses to enter one after the other, and both explained with the rotten excuse that "the hotel had a power outage".
Got tired?
Of course, there are too many interests involved in the research and development of new weapons, and the triangular confrontation between arms dealers, the military, and parliamentarians, and a random selection of individual events is enough to perform a hundred "New House of Cards".
The Department of Defense Headquarters, the U.S. Army, the U.S. Air Force, the U.S. Navy, as well as Lockheed and General Dynamics, are all big names.
Regardless of whether there was a secret agreement between the military and the two arms dealers in this deal; Regardless of how these two arms dealers dealt with the Pentagon when they won the spot; No matter why the few bigwigs present were almost all acquaintances of her Alice, is it just because Alice happens to know Oren Lockheed and William Clark?
- It doesn't matter.
It has nothing to do with Alice.
So, people are just playing with technology.
And people are not "short of money".
You're all going around Miss Ben.
Now it's a seller's market.
It's not in vain that Alice has looked at her watch so many times, and at this point, it's lunchtime. The meeting ended, and everyone went to eat first, but the lunch did not take long, but it was just a hasty meal in the Pentagon's internal cafeteria. After Alice's seven Big Macs had finished eating, she returned to the conference room with the waiter's stunned expression.
Then, after an afternoon of discussions, the final agreement was finalized.
First of all, the confidentiality agreement must be signed, if Alice leaks the relevant information of this cooperation, and even various information in the process of cooperation, to a third party, that is, other arms dealers or even countries, then of course how to deal with it.
For example, the treason god horse, who doesn't treat you as a human being every second, strips off and then can play all kinds of plays.
Well, so Alice wouldn't be stupid.
As for the content of cooperation, it is complicated to say that it is complicated, and it is simple to say that it is simple.
is still such a panacea as a technical consultant, the name of chief designer is still too middle-class, thinking of the talent of the sextant Yi Wenyan who was hired into the crew by himself, it is always right to be low-key.
Just like Apple, as long as it becomes a classic, Apple is not just Apple, but also represents Apple. It's not Alice's style to wrestle too much on a job title.
In the partnership, Alice is the brain, and after "God" the Pentagon decides what to develop, she is responsible for the design, and then gives all kinds of instructions to the two arms dealers: design this, design that, give me this material, give me that kind of experiment. How did you design such rubbish, come again! How did you experiment and fail again, so changed!
-- That's pretty much it.
As for how much money is needed in the research and development process, it is that the body feeds back to the brain, and the brain then sends a prayer to "God", and then the holy light comes, and then the body, which is about to lack nutrients, will naturally get a second spring.
-- That's pretty much it.
Of course, the two arms dealers are not brain-dead children after all, they will stop without their mothers, and they also have many excellent designers. So on a normal day, Alice doesn't need to stay in two big companies all day long, just needs to give guidance when needed, like Microsoft R&D.
But here comes another issue: the confidentiality of the project.
That's why you have to sign a non-disclosure agreement.
As for the benefits that Alice herself can get...... Well, can it still call itself a loss?
"Whew...... I'm so tired! ”
At night, after the preliminary agreement was basically completed, it was time to adjourn the meeting. Walking out of the Pentagon, Oren Lockheed looked at the starry sky and twisted his waist lazily.
"You're not even thirty-five now, are you?"
Before Oron could sigh any more, Alice's words floated out immediately after him, and suddenly dispersed his breath that he had so easily choked.
"Herniated disc in the waist!?"
Oron smiled bitterly and turned back, but saw Alice standing alone in the clearing, the cool breeze blowing in the night, her hair fluttering, it was so charming.
For an instant, he was stunned. (To be continued.) )
