Chapter 126, Gates' Night Talk
The phone rang late at night.
Fortunately, this was just a dedicated line in Alice's bedroom. As soon as the ringtone rang, she opened her eyes and with a move, the microphone came to her ears.
"Is there anything wrong? Bill?"
It is naturally a very important part to hang up the phone at such a late night. Bill Gates said with a serious expression: "After the meeting, I thought about it and then, and I always feel worried. Alice, you didn't see it. When the delegation left the company, Benjamin's expression was very strange."
Alice blinked: "What's the big deal about weirdness? As long as the cooperation is going on normally, it will be done?"
"The problem is Alice. When she was organizing the scene after the meeting, Lubao told me that the phone you used to call did not plug in the phone line."
Now, both ends of the phone became silent.
Alice's eyebrows were beating, and she resisted the urge to go beyond the space to beat Gates up with panda eyes: "I said bastard, how did you make such a low-level mistake?"
"Let's talk about the apology again, Alice, do you think Benjamin has discovered it? If I saw a phone that was not connected to the telephone line, it would still be able to talk."
"What can you do?"
Alice curled her lips disdainfully and said, "Contact the priests of the Church to exorcise the demons? Summon ancient heroes as templates to kill the demon king? Or call the police station and ask them to come to the Microsoft headquarters that has become a haunted house to die, and then stage a wonderful ghost call?"
Gates couldn't help but sigh, after all, he was a little girl, and he was less than twenty years old, so why didn't she understand so much she said?
"So, Bill, if you call in the middle of the night, just to say such a useless thing, be careful I will give you another call in the middle of the night, which will cause you to die of a heart attack in a week!"
Indeed, as the saying goes, no one will believe Benjamin even if he discovers it. If he really makes a big deal, he will only be admitted to a mental hospital. Gates thought about it and it seems that he was really worried, but who told him to know the truth about this?
"Okay, but since you have hung up the phone, let's talk about this cooperation."
Gates organized the language: "Alice, we can understand that you didn't show up in person at that time. After all, you are here. If you really attend the meeting with the so-called second shareholder, I guess the party can only treat you as a joke. However, since the contract has been signed, what are your specific plans? Move to Seattle?"
Yes, since Microsoft wants to jointly develop new systems, as a technology-leading Alice, who has developed the first generation of NNS alone, should have the title of project leader and other projects.
Alice lowered her eyes slightly: "Bill, in fact, this matter is simple and easy, and it is also troublesome to say."
In the quilt, she changed herself to a better position and said, "To put it simply, as long as I take action personally, at most three months, I can hand over the finished product to you. No need for anything to go to Seattle in person. It is enough for me to build a car alone."
A cent coin was shuttled back and forth between his fingers, and Alice was playing with it while saying, "But if you want to say complicated things, naturally, Microsoft quickly expands its recruitment and then slowly rely on its own research and development capabilities. Actually, I am quite inclined to do this. After all, in the final analysis, I can't let the company's technical team be my logistics nanny, right?"
Gates kept smiling bitterly on the phone. It was conceivable that he was still shaking his head: "That's really not possible. If you take care of all the important work, the company team must have problems. So Alice, aren't you going to come to Seattle?"
"Please, I still have to go to school. I don't know how long it will take to finish this project. I don't care about so many good friends in school. Just keep busy. If you have any technical problems, just call me to connect directly? I won't say that you have a rush to solve problems every day, right?"
Alice really plans to put down a little bit. Microsoft is not available yet, and it is still a few days away from the later development. If all work is taken over by herself and programmers are not given enough room for development, will they have to do everything themselves in the future?
In this way, the phone call that came late at night was almost over, but I still talked about a lot of things. When the microphone was locked, the hour hand had already gone halfway.
"Seeing your smile, did she agree?"
As soon as Gates got off the phone, Paul Allen happened to push the door and enter: "Your lunch box."
It was early morning, and most of the employees went home to rest, but the two big bosses of the company had to stay in the company by example because there was still too much work to deal with.
"Japanese sushi, haha, it seems that the influence of the neighbor next door is getting bigger and bigger."
Gates took the lunch box and sighed at the development of Nintendo's American branch. He smiled and said, "Alice agreed, but now our burden is much heavier."
Allen smiled softly, sat down opposite Gates, holding a sushi in his hand: "I will notify the personnel to recruit people, and develop 20 systems and cooperate with this project. The current employees are simply too busy. Bill, how many people are better to recruit?"
Gates ate a takoyaki and said, "I have been thinking about this issue for a long time. When we were developing 10 systems, we were a team of 55 people. We developed 20 on the basis of 10 systems. This number of people was enough."
Allen nodded: "Indeed, after all, they are all people who have been busy with this project for a long time. If you renovate the old version, the process of familiar players will be quick. On the contrary, when we cooperate with them, we can enable new people in the Internet operating system, and just poach people directly from relevant companies in the industry, but what about the number of people?"
This is indeed a very troublesome issue, but Gates and Allen know what this business actually means.
Alice is the founder of Cisco System. This company, which has only been established for a year, has expanded rapidly and is absolutely amazing. It has now occupied a large territory in California, and has even reached out to New York, Pennsylvania and other places on the east coast.
What Microsoft executives can foresee is not only the development of Cisco, but also the development of Alice and the back foot, that is, the prototype of the great development of the Internet across the United States and even the world has emerged.
With several major telecom operators investing in network infrastructure for no money, both Cisco and Microsoft will gain unparalleled benefits as the entire industry blossoms everywhere. In this era that is still in its inception, since Alice has started the Internet hardware business first, Microsoft's hitchhiking is even more indispensable.
After a period of contact, Gates of course had exchanged knowledge with Alice in the field of programming many times, so he had a deep understanding of how professional a girl is. There is no doubt that Cisco will continue to develop greatly, and almost no product from his peers can surpass Alice's quality. Therefore, as long as she is here, there is no doubt about the result of Microsoft's new cooperation, so as long as there is no major accident, the final result can be directly predicted.
It is also foreseeable that when Microsoft develops this kind of computer-side network operating system, it will inevitably form a close connection with Cisco's products. If Cisco's vigorous development remains momentum, in other words, in the entire Internet system architecture, Cisco's products form the basic skeleton, and Microsoft's operating system that relies on computers is the soul and brain!
"I'm really excited to think about it."
Late at night, two old Microsoft founders were eating sushi face to face. Gates leaned forward and waved: "Paul, you have also read the programming code of the router. What did Alice think? How could she write such incisive code?"
Allen smiled bitterly and ate the salmon: "Who said it was not? Although the languages used are all familiar to us, her logical order is really unexpected. She often only needs three to four sentences to achieve the functions that ordinary people can achieve at least seven sentences."
"Yes, and it's hard for others to learn. After seeing it, we will suddenly realize that this logic can be compiled like this, but if we really want to imitate her logic, Paul, how many times have you tried?"
"Me? Oh my god Bill, how many times have you tried?"
"Paul, I'm asking you now."
"But I'm asking you now."
The two looked at each other's faces face, all staring at their own eyes. After a moment, they didn't know who started it first, so they laughed in unison.
Meanwhile, Alice was lying on the bed with her eyes squinted in Culver City, Los Angeles, just south of the West Coast of the United States.
The dark eyes seem to be a black hole that can absorb everything. At the same time, in the area that is not visible to humans, that is, the telephone line of the telephone clasped on the bedside table, electric currents are busy shuttled around.
"Tsk, this gay friend, do you want to use a bad stomach to relieve bowel movements in the middle of the night? "To be continued.
