While seriously looking at the person who took off with Cisco, Liu Xun was also thinking about the memories of Chambers in another time and space.

He doesn't know much about Chambers' life, and his limited knowledge only knows that Chambers is the CEO of Cisco and the man at the helm of Cisco.

And from Xue Xuewu's mouth, Liu Xun knew that in fact, before joining Cisco, Chambers obtained the Business and Law Committee at West Virginia University, and obtained MBA tuition at Indiana University, and he had worked in IBM, the blue giant, and Wang An, he worked at IBM for six years, and began to be responsible for Wang An's sales in Asia for eight years in 83, and only joined Cisco this year as a senior vice president, and is currently responsible for finance at Cisco.

In another time and space, after Chambers joined Cisco in '91, he would become Cisco's executive vice president in 1994, CEO in '95, and take over from Morggerich as chairman in '06.

There is no doubt that although Cisco has strong potential before Chambers, it can be said that it is Chambers who took the giant of Cisco to take off, at least in Liu Xun's view, Chambers is to Cisco, which is no different from Jobs to Apple, people say that without Jobs's Apple, it will no longer be Apple, and without Chambers's Cisco, it will no longer be Cisco, whether it is to develop a market value of $600 million into a behemoth with a market value of $500 billion, or in the bursting of the Internet bubble, After Cisco's market value shrank by nearly 80 percent, Chambers turned the tide and restarted Cisco, which is a testament to Chambers' unparalleled contribution and role to Cisco.

"Dear Zhou, I haven't seen you for a year, and you are still so charming, oh, thank God for letting me see you again," Chambers obviously knew Zhou Peiwan before, "However, on behalf of Cisco, I would like to express my deep apologies for disturbing you on an ancient and traditional Chinese festival and making you make a special trip to the United States, and I hope you and your companions can understand." ”

"Mr. Chambers, I think we are so familiar that we don't need these politenesses." Zhou Peiwan held up her tired spirit, greeted Chambers with a smile, and after a more than ten hour flight, even just listening to Liu Xun and Xue Xuewu was tired.

Chambers probably knew that now was not the time to talk about these things, so he quickly ended the greetings, and then arranged for a few people to stay in the hotel, in fact, in New York, it should be said that Zhou Peiwan is the landlord, and Chambers should be regarded as a guest, and it should be received by Zhou Peiwan as a landlord, but the hotel that Chambers arranged for a few people is the hotel where Lerna and his wife have stayed in recent days. Liu Xun also learned that the investor that Lena and his wife are now contacting seems to be an investment company on Wall Street.

Several people were a little tired, and after arriving at the hotel, they fell asleep, and after sleeping for eight hours, several people met again in the temporary conference room of the hotel, but this time there were still very few people involved, only Chambers and Xue Xue on the Cisco side, and another entourage who made meeting minutes, Liu Xun's side, only he and Zhou Peiwan, and Lena and his wife did not appear in it.

"Dear Zhou, I think, now you know the situation we are facing, as the founders of Lena and his wife, they are in contact with other companies on Wall Street at the moment, although there is no result yet, but the object of their contact is not liked by Mr. Valentine, nor by me and Mr. Morgridgie, so we still support Miss Zhou to take over that part of the shares, I think, now we need to talk openly and honestly, talk about the idea of this part of the shares."

As soon as a few people met, Chambers went straight to the point and cut straight to the point, without any politeness, Liu Xun could see that Valentine and Mogridg were about a little anxious now.

Zhou Peiwan did not answer Chambers's words, but looked at Liu Xun, Zhou Peiwan's action made Chambers, as a veteran of the shopping mall, immediately see that Zhou Peiwan was asking Liu Xun's opinion.

Chambers became more and more strange in his heart, he noticed Liu Xun at the beginning, after all, Liu Xun was too tender, but at first he only thought that Liu Xun was similar to an entourage or something, but now he found out that he seemed to be outrageously wrong, this negotiation, it seems that Liu Xun, a young man, is the leader.

Thinking so, Chambers glanced at Xue Juewu slightly, as if blaming her for not giving herself the truth, Xue Juewu spread her hands and said that she was very innocent, but her heart was happy, she seemed to see how much shock Liu Xun could bring to Chambers.

At this time, the eyes in the conference room have been focused on Liu Xun's body, this kid does not have a little stage fright, although he has admired Chambers for a long time in his heart, but this does not prevent him from making timely measures on this occasion.

"Mr. Chambers, I think Miss Xue has already told you what we think, we have done a full investigation of Cisco before, and we have reason to believe that this is a promising company, a business worth investing in, so we have expressed enough interest in taking over the shares in the hands of the Lena couple, of course, the price is still to be negotiated. But I would like to add to Mr. Chambers again that we hope to be able to take over more of the shares in the hands of Mr. and Mrs. Lena at a negotiable price. With regard to our wishes, I hope that Mr. Chambers can convey them on his behalf. ”

Chambers was slightly puzzled, he still didn't know who Liu Xun was, let alone who the "we" in Liu Xun's mouth was, "This gentleman, oh my God, please forgive me for my mistake, until now I don't know your name, and I don't know the 'we' in your mouth, what does it mean?" Liu Xun didn't speak, but Zhou Peiwan patted his forehead, several people ignored this problem, Chambers didn't know Liu Xun yet, and hurriedly helped explain, "Mr. Chambers, his name is Liu Xun, and the person he said just now refers to the Vista investment company we just established under the name of XP Fund, which was specifically established to acquire shares of Cisco, specifically, it refers to me and him." ”

Xue Juewu also clarified the relationship between Liu Xun and Zhou Peiwan to Chambers on the side, and even more vaguely hinted that this young man has a good influence in China, and after knowing the relationship between Liu Xun and Zhou Peiwan, Chambers suddenly realized. However, there are still some doubts about Liu Xun's dominant position, in his opinion, this involves nearly 200 million US dollars in negotiations, even if the family trusts Liu Xun, it should not be controlled by such a young man, but then, Liu Xun's remarks completely convinced Chambers and made him no longer doubt Liu Xun.

"Dear Liu, can you tell us what you think of Cisco? I mean, why would you want to take over Cisco? If you are willing to spend a lot of money to take over the shares, you must have confidence in Cisco, but where does your confidence in Cisco come from? ”

Liu Xun smiled slightly, this question should be said to be a crucial issue for Chambers and Mogrid, they don't want to leave a discordant Lena couple and another pair of difficult financiers.

"Mr. Chambers, first of all, I need to correct, I am optimistic about not Cisco itself, but the huge development potential of the entire Internet industry, as for why invest in Cisco, I think, Cisco, is at the right time to enter a right market, on this, I have respect for the founders of Cisco, Lerna and his wife, their invention, for the development of the Internet, has a huge significance, for Cisco, of course, It is also an indisputable fact that the Lena couple are unfamiliar with business. ”

As soon as Liu Ze said this, he immediately attracted the attention of the entire room, and a hint of strange color flashed in Chambers's eyes.

"First of all, I want to say that the Internet industry chain, in my opinion, is one of the industrial chains where foreign wealth is concentrated, and I have great confidence in the potential and development space of this industrial chain, and Cisco, as the first system company with network solutions, may have deficiencies in its products, but I have done a survey, at least, at present, Cisco's products are better than any products on the market, which is one of the reasons why I chose Cisco."

"Second, although Cisco has gone through three CEOs and has been replaced quickly, everyone has played a huge role in making Cisco now in a benign state. As the founders, Mr. and Mrs. Lerna, who are perhaps the first VP of Customer Advocacy in the United States, believe that the greatest asset of the Lerna couple to Cisco is not their technology, but the business philosophy of 'customer interests first', which now seems to be deeply permeated everywhere at Cisco. This will allow Cisco to go further. CEO Graves has resolved an intellectual property dispute between Cisco and Stanford University, which will address one of the biggest shadows on Cisco's future development. And the current CEO, Mr. Morgerich, who has been advocating for a team structure and a culture of frugality, will also have far-reaching implications for Cisco. ”

In 1987, Cisco's chief executive, Graves, reached a settlement with Stanford University, whereby Cisco would give Stanford 3% of its gross revenues (but not more than $150,000) to settle an intellectual property dispute with Stephen University as a license fee for the use of its router software. This seemed to be a sky-high cost for Cisco at the time, and ten years later, it was not even a dime, so that some people thought that the settlement agreement at that time was the thief of the century, think about it, if there was no supplementary clause in parentheses, Cisco's annual turnover of tens of billions of dollars, even if it was three percent, it was more than one billion dollars, but it was completely solved by Graves with less than 150,000 US dollars, but it was worthy of the title of "thief of the century", so that more than ten years later, Stanford University came to Cisco ahead of schedule, and it was both a look of pride and regret.

Chambers didn't expect Liu Xun's understanding of Cisco to be so deep, of course, what he didn't expect was the entry point of Liu Xun's opening, there is no doubt that Liu Xun's words have now made him full of interest, but Chambers didn't expect that Liu Xun's words that shocked him even more were still to come.
