Chapter 158, Harry looks at Cisco
Volkswagen Electronics is the largest national newspaper and magazine in the United States, aiming to popularize various knowledge in the computer industry to ordinary readers. When he first launched the world's first market-oriented personal computer, Volkswagen Electronics introduced this product to the audience with a considerable amount of space.
It can be said that looking at all the enthusiasts in the United States, there is no one who has ever heard of this magazine, and the purchase ratio is also extremely high.
As a loyal reader of Volkswagen Electronics, Halipnes immediately rushed to the bookstore he visited most often when the latest issue was released.
In the early morning, at the cashier of the bookstore, Amy was sitting in the final preparations for the upcoming work. Although it was a bit far away, you could tell by just a look. A small team had been photographed at the door of the bookstore that had not opened.
"It's like this every time a new book starts."
Amy's colleague, Brenda, sighed: "But in recent issues, none of the new books sold more than Alice's. Amy, will the blood-colored fairy tale be released again?"
The biggest advantage of working in a bookstore is that you can see books at any time. Brenda and Amy are both loyal readers of the newcomer King writer Alice. Although the dark plot of the blood fairy tale is really amazing, it just captured the hearts of these two girls.
Amy hesitated and said, "It shouldn't be? The suspense of that book is very good. I just like this open ending. If the result is too obvious, will you not be able to fully imagine it soon?"
Brenda was about to mutter something, but business hours came, and a large number of readers walked into the bookstore, and Amy was ready to check out.
"Isn't this a router on the cover of Volkswagen Electronics?"
Soon, a surprise voice sounded nearby: "Cashier! Cashier!"
"Check out here!"
Amy smiled and waved at the big boy in the distance. He had a sloppy shoulder-length hair and a slightly fat figure. Isn't he a regular customer of this bookstore and the Harrypness who doesn't know what job he is doing?
"Oh, Amy!"
Harry ran to the cashier quickly: "Today is your shift to checkout?"
"yes."
Amy nodded and pointed to the back: "Hurry up and pay the money, there are still many people waiting behind."
"Oh OK, this is money, uh"
While Amy was looking for money, Harry's eyes moved a little: "This is right, Amy, do you know that a new cafe has been opened on the corner of the street recently."
"I know, Prous Coffee, I'm an old acquaintance there, and I'll sit there every Saturday at 2pm."
Amy replied quickly and immediately stuffed the change back into Harry's hand: "Go and read your magazine now, next!"
Harry squirmed his lips, and the invitation he wanted to say was held back, but he immediately smiled and left.
"Hey, what's the situation?"
Brenda happened to be free and blinked, saying, "You two?"
Amy easily collected the money for the next old man: "Oh, Brenda, you know, I chased William in high school for three semesters, right?"
Brenda nodded, and as her best friend, she was certainly very clear about her classmates' original experience.
Amy continued to say lightly, “So, isn’t it good to enjoy other people’s pursuits occasionally?”
"Wow, are you going to give him a chance? I think when I first met here, you were hopped up by his hair! So much dandruff."
After paying for the old man, Amy looked at her friend's shocked and envious expression and smiled relaxedly: "It's easy to say about dandruff, but we all like Alice!"
Well, yes, they are all fans of the blood fairy tale.
Harry, who walked out of the bookstore, was still smirking, and his right hand was stiff without hesitation. There was no way, when Amy put the stack of coins in his hand, the warm touch
"Ahem, don't think about those useless things, read the magazine first!"
Harry came to the Prous Cafe on the corner of the street. Outside the store was an outdoor dining area with parasols. At this moment, a handsome guy was busy cleaning the table.
"Hey, man, ask."
Harry said to him: "Twenty-three years old, blonde, with dimples on his face and a sweet voice when he smiled. Where does this girl usually sit?"
Harry described the image of Amy. The clerk pointed to a certain position: "I have an impression of the girl you mentioned. I will sit there every Saturday afternoon and feed. Man, do you like her?"
"Haha! Smart!"
Harry was immediately shy when his mind was told, and he hugged the boy's shoulder: "Listen, buddy, give me a big pot of black coffee. I'm going to sit here until the sun sets today!"
"Oh, okay, guy, be gentle, my neck"
After several twists and turns, Harry has the time to open this issue of Volkswagen Electronics.
The main content of this issue is a detailed introduction to Cisco Systems' main products and routers.
However, Harry had long understood the relevant knowledge of routers. What he is focusing on is the current development of Cisco. Here, the relevant editors of the magazine have collected a lot of industry materials and gave a detailed introduction to Cisco's current market share and other aspects.
"As a company that has only been established for only two years, Cisco Systems has opened up Internet hardware, which is currently almost blank, and has occupied a huge market space in the shortest time."
The article lists the monthly fiscal revenue of a total of ten companies in the same field. Of course, the editor specifically stated that this was obtained by reporters from Volkswagen Electronics from door to door, rather than using any improper means to collect data.
According to the chart, Harry can see at a glance that the fiscal revenue of Cisco system is naturally ranked first, and far exceeds the second-place Lucent Technology by more than 30 percentages. As for Lucent Technology, it is about fifty percentages higher than the third company!
The gap is so big that Harry immediately gasped for a while, and the name Lucent Technology was the name.
Harry knew that Lucent was an old company, and their development in the communications industry dated back many years. And you must know that it had already acquired the famous Bell Laboratory. According to a certain statistics some time ago, this laboratory had to produce at least one patent every day on average!
But even Lucent, which has it as its backing, is thirty percentage points lower than Cisco's fiscal revenue!?
In the field of routers!?
One is a company that has been established for decades and has been producing patents since 1925. The existence of such a trump card is that the emerging roles with only two years of establishment and just over 100 employees are all people. No, they are all companies, how could they be so different!?
"How is Cisco better than Lucent?"
With this question in mind, Harry began to find the answer in the article. However, what he saw at the first time was simply that when Lucent launched its own router at the end of last year, Cisco immediately developed a new generation of similar products, easily squeezing Lucent's products out of the West Coast.
A thick magazine, one-quarter of the content is used to talk about Cisco. In addition to the theme of this issue, which is to analyze the performance of Cisco's new generation routers, there are also a large amount of analysis data and table patterns. Then at the end, an interview with Leonardo Posack, one of the founders of the company, director of Cisco's technology department, and Leonardo Posack.
"one?"
Without paying attention to the content first, Harry was first attracted by the original text of this "one".
Although Volkswagen Electronics has the right to interview, of course it is the other party who says something and gets the news. Otherwise, wouldn’t it be a kind of thing? Harry discovered in a trance that no matter which issue of this magazine is, it seems that no matter which issue, it does not directly introduce the founder experience of Cisco.
Just mentioned it in a certain issue, saying that the Posack couple in Stanford were invited
Who are you invited?
The couple, since the man is the technical minister, the possibility that his wife is the chairman of the goods is not that Harry discriminates against women, but it is really not very good.
What a company under layers of fog!
"But it doesn't matter."
Harry opened the page of the industry market research and muttered: "Anyway, when it comes to listing, all companies have to take out the list of senior executives, and you will know then."
Then, he focused on the content of the market research.
It can be said that as a university professor and his wife are the founders' companies, Cisco has really not ignored the market for universities and research institutions. The first name made Harry's eyes shine.
“The aerodynamic laboratory!”
This is an amazing guy. Harry clearly saw that this research institution located at the foot of the north mountain in Los Angeles is a super-large research base. It is built on the mountain and covers a total area of 177 acres. Although it is called a laboratory, it has thousands of researchers, and food and accommodation are close to the base. It is an official department directly under the jurisdiction of the government!
"So that's it"
Harry touched his chin and suddenly thought of a very serious problem.
"Will people from the White House and the Pentagon buy Cisco products too?"
It's just an aerodynamic laboratory, the problem is irrelevant, it doesn't involve any confidentiality, so after earning permission, the magazine dared to publish the information.
But what if it was the White House and the Pentagon?
"This is completely moving towards government contractors, and there is a trend now. Has the founder of this company expected this prospect?"
Just think about it, if it weren't foresight, I'm afraid I wouldn't have targeted this almost blank market, right?
"What awesome guy!" To be continued.

Chapter completed!
