Super body leads the era

Chapter 38, Cisco's Big Business

When I got home again, it was getting late, the moon had been hanging in the sky for a long time, and the night cicadas were already singing on the nearby plane trees.After entering the door, Sun Xiaowei hummed a tune and sat on the sofa, while Jessica and her father were watching Global Geographic.

"The source of the mysterious virus in Tanzania is still unknown. It has been raging in this magical land for hundreds of years. The local residents call it necrosis, and the sick..."

"Vivi?"

On the stairs on the second floor, Mrs. Alba's voice sounded: "Your fax machine has sent documents, why don't you come up and take a look?"

Sun Xiaowei responded, and immediately walked quickly into her room.

In the spacious and warm bedroom dominated by blue tones, the bookshelves on one side are filled with professional books at the doctoral level of Ivy League universities, covering everything from psychology to chemistry to computer science and macroscopic and microscopic physics.The bookshelves are so big that the family had no choice but to expand the whole house just to give Sun Xiaowei's bedroom a larger area.

It is enough to fit on the executive desk in the general manager's office. The current most high-end fax machine is flashing the receiving indicator light. Sun Xiaowei immediately presses the button, and then starts the personal computer installed with Windows 98 system on the side.

When the documents and drawings filled with letters kept spit out from the fax machine, Sun Xiaowei stared at the startup screen on the screen, thinking, maybe she can find time to develop the XP system?

Of course, it cannot be the most cutting-edge technology that is handed over to the vast number of users of the enterprise. Just like when the latest technology appears, it must first be used in the military, then in medical treatment, and finally in people's livelihood.For Sun Xiaowei, who has worked as a software engineer for Microsoft, Apple, Tencent, and Baidu hundreds of years ago, and now has accumulated a lot of accumulation, she is of course qualified to keep her secrets.

Not long after, all the faxed documents arrived and were stacked in order, and Sun Xiaowei could just pull them out and read them.

This is the business that Professor Bosack and his wife mentioned two or three days ago, focusing on the most eye-catching Rockefeller Center, and the network reconstruction plan of Wal-Mart, General Motors and a dozen medium-sized enterprises.

What is certain is that Cisco is not the only company that is developing the Internet hardware field. For example, TP-Link has occupied a huge market in China in the router market of later generations.Therefore, even if Bill Gates promoted Cisco in the name of his Microsoft chairman, these companies only provided it with a bidding invitation.

"Hmph, when it goes public in 90, you should be crying and asking me to build an office network for you~"

Sitting comfortably on the computer chair, he first picked up an invitation letter from an unknown medium-sized company and looked at it.It's normal for these East Coast companies to not pay too much attention. After all, under the guidance of Sun Xiaowei's unhurried development plan, the current Cisco is not much ahead of history. Seventy computer engineers account for 90% of all employees. .For those old industry companies that do not yet understand Internet companies, a small number of people means poor strength.

Of course, it is true.

"One big deal is much more efficient than ten small deals. Rockefeller Center... was bought by the Japanese after all..."

Looking at the most important invitation letter among them, Sun Xiaowei couldn't help feeling deeply moved.

According to normal historical development, since the signing of the "Plaza Accord" in 85, Japan, with the rise of the real estate bubble, has indeed accumulated a lot of wealth, so that at the end of the 80s, the Mitsubishi consortium invested a large sum of money to buy the building group, which once became Japan's prosperous , a symbol of the U.S. recession, was not bought back until after the housing bubble burst.

"So, this is equivalent to the Japanese spending money to build an office network for the top office buildings in the United States, and then handing over a large amount of profits to me! Haha, how can such a good opportunity be missed!?"

Thinking of this rather funny scene, Sun Xiaowei couldn't help laughing.

The design of the office network model, the purchase of related hardware equipment, the authorization of management software, and how much specific profit this tens of millions of dollars in business can bring to herself are not what Sun Xiaowei cares about.Cisco and Microsoft, as well as Apple, which has not yet been touched, let these three future giants make profits on their own according to the normal development of history, which is the simplest and wisest choice.

How much money will Microsoft make from win95?Who cares, it's Microsoft anyway?

But just when she was about to stay up all night and waste the night for this tens of millions of dollars of business, the phone next to her suddenly rang.

"Hello, this is Alba's house."

"Weiwei, are you really not coming to the press conference?"

The voice of Bill Gates came from the opposite side. Sun Xiaowei rolled her eyes when she heard his topic, and said, "Now, immediately, look through the entertainment pages of all the newspapers you can buy, and you will know how much I have been doing lately." I'm exhausted. Do you want me to be famous again? Are you afraid that my classmates won't reveal my identity to the media?"

"That's such a pity. After all, your system is really excellent, and it was made by you alone. If I were to say at the press conference that it was the efforts of Microsoft employees, all of us in the company They will all be disturbed!"

"...When do you plan to hold a press conference?"

"April [-]th, which is this Friday, what do you think?"

"Excuse me dear Bill, our beautiful, kind, lovely Miss Alba has a class that day and preps for the damn, nasty, boring commencement piano piece, so there's no time to go to Washington The state joins in the fun."

"In other words, you want our company to keep your existence a secret first?"

"It's time for this young lady to become famous in Hollywood. If she is still crowned as the editor of win95, why don't the major media dedicate all their pages to me? There is a limit to what the public can bear in a unit of time. Yes, I still want to live my little life happily, please save me worry."

"Haha, it makes sense. If it is announced after seven or eight years, people will be amazed at most. It is really troublesome to say it now. Well, Weiwei, I would like to express my gratitude to you on behalf of all the employees of the company. Once this product is released, many People's assets will rise again."

"... Hurry up and hang up after nagging, I want to take a shower!"

"Oh, bye-bye!"

Sun Xiaowei started giggling immediately after the phone was blocked.

The idol when we met for the first time, with the passage of time and the change of identity, has become an existence similar to a bad friend. After all, Bill at this time is a 30-year-old handsome guy instead of a 50-year-old old man. People who study technology are often much simpler.

"Okay, then the next thing is the Rockefeller Center order..."

After stretching her body, Sun Xiaowei squeezed her fingers and began to prepare for the night battle.

"Please sit down."

After inviting all the shareholders to sit down, Toshio Ishimura sat down himself.

On the morning of April 28, in a towering skyscraper in Shinjuku District, Tokyo, in an orange-yellow meeting room, 45 men in suits and leather shoes gathered on a round conference table, with an average age of over [-] years old.

The Mitsubishi consortium, like the other major conglomerates in Japan, is a loose consortium even though its total assets are huge, and its member companies hold shares in a ring. It is a consortium-type enterprise group linked by capital.Although the group also has a core, there is a council of the highest management organization, but there is no unified management organization; the group itself does not have an independent legal person status.

"The convening of this council is mainly aimed at a series of investment issues in the United States."

As the president of Asahi Glass Co., Ltd., and as the convener and host of this year's Mitsubishi Golden Globe, Ishimura took the lead in saying: "First of all, an announcement is made. The office network construction of the Rockefeller Center, a group of office buildings in Manhattan that I purchased not long ago, has been completed. A bid has been selected, please witness it in turn.”

After speaking, he took out a portfolio from his bag and handed it to the shareholder sitting next to him.

After everyone finished their order, one of them asked: "I've heard of this company called Cisco, and Nintendo also invited it to bid. I wonder how much you know about it?"

After a brief silence, another person said: "This company currently occupies 40% of the market on the west coast of the United States. It is considered a dark horse in the field of Internet hardware. They are far ahead.”

"Who is its founder?"

"A couple of professors from Stanford University, they are really amazing. Not only can they make achievements in the academic field, but they can design so many and so advanced hardware and software. They are also very wise in the company's development strategy. Detour, it’s really a dark horse.”

After speaking, the audience of 28 people fell into a temporary silence.

The development of the Mitsubishi consortium is concentrated in heavy industry, with several financial and banking companies as the core, all of which belong to the old qualifications of galloping in the business world for a century.Facing an emerging Internet solution company like Cisco, they didn't know how to evaluate it for a while.

A couple of professors took 40% of the market on the west coast of the United States in four years. What if they give it another four years?

Shicun slowly opened his mouth: "I propose to give them this bid. As two scholars who have taught for many years, their products are trustworthy. Moreover, there should be a very wise decision-maker in this company. A scholar should not be so smooth, we may be able to meet with each other."

Everyone nodded silently, allowing a company to develop in a straight line without detours, occupying such a large market share in four years, such a wise leadership and strategic vision is indeed admirable, and this is obviously not what two scholars should have. It aroused the interest of everyone present.
