Chapter one hundred and ninety-ninth, leap-forward development

After holding the incentive meeting for employees, it is time for the shareholders' meeting.

Of course, it is very noble to say that Alice and Posack are just three.

After all, Cisco is not a listed company yet, and hasn't experienced financing that can be without it?

"How did you take such an order!?"

At the desk, Sandy was wearing her eyes and carefully flipped through the fax manuscript sent by Washington, DC: "Our country is separated by federalism and powers. How could the state governments, municipal governments, and various departments in the District suddenly be like this, so, so united?"

"It's not a matter yet."

Alice herself feels that why is her smile so gloating now: "The invasion of the stock exchange maliciously tampered with data has been successful. Do those government officials have no sense of crisis? Believe me, Sandy, this order is just open. It won't take long, and government departments across the United States will ask us for orders."

"Yes, it's such a coincidence."

Posack sighed on the side that he didn't even have time to drink the mocha that he had made early: "I just bought our products with Nasdaq, but we are the industry leader. Even Lucent, the biggest competitor, has a sales loss of at least 30% lower than ours. It is natural that Washington will centrally purchase our products."

"In this way, the company's scale will be expanded."

Sandy put down the order and looked at Alice with bright eyes: "Let Leonardo tell you what I think? Alice, it's time for the company to expand again. I think we should increase the human resources of the customer service department and sales department. As long as the engineers are enough, it's enough."

Alice did not answer Sandy's suggestion at the first moment, but looked at her with interest.

If Posack himself is a simple technical mate, then Sandy does have a talent in doing business. As for the reason

“It’s not a matter of expanding human resources.”

Alice shook her head, but before Sandy could say this, she took the lead: "But we should change the business policy."

This is no small matter, Sandy's volume is rising: "How to change?"

“It’s simple, customer-oriented.”

Alice easily plagiarized a creative that belonged to Sandy. Although from her perspective, this is not considered plagiarism.

"The human resources issue you mentioned falls into the scope of specific measures, and measures must be guided by policies. Customer-oriented and developing new products to meet customer needs is the next path the company will take."

"Yes, that's what I mean!"

Sandy looked at Alice in surprise. How many times have she been thinking that she was still hazy, how many times have she been summed up directly by Alice?

"Customer-oriented, right, we should do that, Leon, what do you think?"

So, the two female creatures in the room looked at a certain male together.

"But is this too philosophical?"

However, there was a repulsive feeling between Posack's eyebrows: "What we do in developing Internet hardware will change the lifestyle of all mankind. Isn't this a business philosophy of an ordinary trading company?"

It's true.

Alice shook her head with a wry smile.

So, science men are the easiest to get into stubbornness.

At this point, they are often more terrifying than liberal arts students.

"Technology is technology, Leonardo."

Alice sighed, "But we are starting a company now. A company, no matter what product it sells, no matter how much impact it will have on people in the range, it is based on sales."

"You know, Marx once said a famous saying that practice is the best way to test the truth. It is not impossible for a researcher to develop technology behind closed doors, but can that researcher be sure that his technology is what everyone needs? If the product he struggles to study is in the end, it is something that everyone does not need at all, but that researcher wishes to think that everyone needs it, then the so-called change and influence of the world will be in no way possible?"

Seeing that Posack was in deep thought, Alice picked up the plane and said, "You probably haven't read the superhero comics much, right? Some super criminals have their original intentions to benefit mankind, but how did they actually do it?"

"Using the means of nuclear equilibrium to teach people to love peace or use robot army to carry all humans in captivity, so as to avoid killing each other or a Japanese ninja comic I have read, the foolish villain in it attempts to hypnotize all humans to let everyone live a good life in their dreams and avoid killing in reality."

Seeing the couple choked, Alice smiled: "See? Are you all the wishful thinking of technicians? Maybe the purpose is good, but they don't care whether the audience needs it or not, they just wantonly use self-right methods to destroy it. Then when they are killed by the messenger of justice, they often say with Zhang Zhonger's face, "Dear, why can't you understand me!"

"It's a total fool, right?"

I have to say that this explanation is really novel.

Or, is it worthy of being the insight given by middle school students?

"It makes sense, although these examples of you are hoho."

After a moment of silence, Posack smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I have to admit that I am indeed far from you in business, and even Sandy can't compare to you. Since you both want to follow a customer-oriented policy, you can try it."

Sandy said thoughtfully: "So it seems that there are not many companies in the entire industry doing this. Just look at Apple's computers. Are they all Jobs' wishful thinking designs? They sell very expensively, but they are not much worse in performance, but they are just particularly outstanding in appearance design. His perfectionist paranoid mentality does represent the psychology of many Silicon Valley people at present."

About Apple

Alice rolled her eyes.

That was the existence she had avoided mentioning to everyone for a long time.

After all, Apple's later market value was too high, and before Jobs returned, its market value was too low. If you talk about Apple's development with others at any time, if you accidentally talk too much, those people will follow them to buy stocks at a low price?

You know, Alice has never stopped acquiring Apple stock in the past few years.

Before Jobs left Apple, his family had accumulated hundreds of thousands of assets through its stocks and filled all the dividends. It was not until it finally began to go downhill that Alice sold out all these shares to get the final high price before it was down.

However, the decline is a long process after all, and is there any difference in the price to make money?

There is no way, who said that Apple later was really exaggerated. The peak market value of 800 billion US dollars, even under the influence of inflation, did not surpass Microsoft in 1999, and those were 800 billion!

Many financial industry people have long memorized its historical stock price fluctuations, and Alice has benefited from her brain in this life. Even if she did not recite it deliberately in her previous life, it is enough for her to recall every detail.

It is comparable to the catalogue of Indyx's forced memory ability without dead corners. Although Alice's brain is more developed and can intelligently make selective forgetting, no one can stop her as long as she wants to recall.

Buy at low prices and sell at high prices. For her, who remembers Apple's daily line for many years, this kind of game is really not too fun.

Then, put your attention back to your eyes.

After some discussions, Cisco's next business policy was determined. As for the specific implementation steps, with Sandy's enthusiastic volunteering, Alice, the honorary chairman, was of course happy.

"Sit and wait for eighteen years old"

Flipping through the order in his hand, Alice smacked her lips and said, "The recruitment of new employees is based on the capacity limit of the headquarters building. On the premise of ensuring a comfortable working environment, the total number of employees of 200 is enough. But Sandy, in addition to this order, we have many other businesses, right?"

Sandy nodded and said, "With your article and Times, the average daily increase in the company's orders has increased by fifteen percentages recently. However, the intrusion incident has also made many companies' views on the Internet extreme. Some people immediately increased the purchase of routers to strengthen the company's LAN construction. Some old customers remained silent, but there were also many people."

"Refund the order?"

Alice waved her hand disapprovingly: "It must be a small business, right?"

Seeing Sandy nodding, she smiled and said, "That's their own fool. If we do this, all we lost is an insignificant small order, but they really delayed their development."

"However, business expansion is inevitable, and two hundred people probably won't last for a year. In this way, you will continue to be responsible for the daily operation of the company. I will take the time to choose a new office building. It's not far away, so I can just settle in San Jose."

Posack narrowed his eyes and said with satisfaction: "If the scale of two hundred people is expanded on a large scale, it will definitely be listed. Alice, a listed company, you have to buy a large open space. If the area is small, be careful not to keep up with the development."

"That's natural. Actually, I've chosen a piece of land long ago."

Alice leaned on the back of the chair comfortably: "But that's all about turning back, I'm still busy with a lot of work."

As she said that, she looked at the world map on the office wall. To be continued.
