Jeff Bezos, future founder of Amazon

As early as when browsing the list of employees, Alice guessed that she had caught the right person when she first saw his name. Later, after browsing the other party's resume, she became more convinced of this conclusion.

This bald man with a slightly funny appearance not only founded Amazon, the world's largest online bookstore, and one of the first companies to start e-commerce on the Internet, but also developed it into the largest online e-commerce company in the United States. This achievement is extraordinary.

He was elected as the Times Person of the Year in 1999. It was only four years after the company was established. When the timeline moved towards 2014, it ranked among the top ten in the world's richest people with a net worth of more than 30 billion US dollars. As the real leader in the industry who gave Jack Ma the idea of ​​creating Alibaba, this peak road that soared to 30,000 miles was also just right.

Then now, the boy who just graduated from Princeton University has actually come to work at Cisco.

Alice almost laughed out loud when she first learned about this fact.

"Miss Alice?"

At this time, Bezos, who was not bald, was cautiously sitting in the canteen restaurant: "It's really rare to see you in the company."

This is a relatively high-end dining area in the canteen. The curved sofa surrounds the oval dining table. The environment is elegant, but the number of people is even smaller. Because of this, when many people see Bezos, a new worker working in the firewall R&D department, sitting with Alice, who rarely appears in the company once, many people look like they see the news.

Of course, Alice ignored them: "Jeff, you have been working in our company for two years, and you have been doing very well. But this has been two years after all, and it was the first two years after graduation. How are you planning for your future after such a long time?"

It was a rare scene. A girl in high school actually asked a working person about her future plans, but it seemed extremely natural to put Alice. Bezos subconsciously smacked her lips, and immediately realized that she was not polite, so she couldn't help but pursed her lips tightly.

"Actually, when I was a kid, I decided to be an astronaut or physicist."

What a great ideal, Alice laughed, and Bezos also drank the juice happily: "When I was in middle school, I wanted to be a business manager, but after I went to college, I became interested in computers. My resume says that I graduated from the computer department, right?"

Alice didn't comment, just said ambiguously: "So, your interests change at once, right?"

"You can say that, it feels good to work at Cisco before. To be honest, Alice, I really admire you. Those media magazines often talk about your age, but what I noticed is that before you, no one thought about developing any hardware specifically for the popularization of the Internet."

Alice smiled and nodded. Ordinary media were fine. Professional magazines like Volkswagen Electronics did talk a lot about her age. Of course, it was not a question of Alice's talent, but just too highlighting the comparison between those achievements and age.

"So, I do have some ideas."

Then, Bezos said, "I was wondering, can I do something earth-shaking? After all, Alice, although we don't meet many times, you always joke about me as a billionaire or something. Always saying this really makes me think about it!"

After saying that, both of them laughed. Of course, this scene was clearly seen by the employees in the distance. Everyone couldn't help but be more curious. Many people didn't even have the heart to eat and started to talk in a low voice.

"Hey, you said that kid Bezos is not dating our boss, right?"

"Do you go in love!? Please, they are nearly ten years apart, right? Roger, you don't have to worry about Mary's ears. You know she is a little bit about Bezos."

The above two are just chatting about gossip, but some people thought seriously: "Is Jeff going to make a fortune? His performance in the past two years is indeed very outstanding. Posack has repeatedly named him at meetings. Is he going to be promoted?"

"The firewall R&D team, this is a project given by the Pentagon. It is really amazing that Jeff can enter. But the most amazing thing is Alice. The one handed over to the R&D team is the semi-finished product. Those people only need to do the final work. Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk."

Although the distant discussions were mixed with normal chatter, Alice could still hear them clearly. But of course she was too lazy to pay attention to the employees' random thoughts and was just continuing to chat with Bezos.

"If you really want to seek further development, I won't stop you, don't worry."

First, she gave a reassurance, and she said: "After all, if you really succeed in starting a business, whether it is for this society or for me, the value is much more than that you continue to be a programmer at Cisco. Think about it, if you are sincere in a big boss of a company and if we have any projects that we can cooperate with, one is to cooperate with the former company boss and the other is to cooperate with the former company employees, these are all acquaintances, right?"

What he said made Bezos feel so frightened and terrified: "Please, Alice, is there a boss like you? Encourage subordinates to leave and start a business? I have worked at Cisco for two years, so are you not afraid that I will become your competitor?"

Alice grunted and waved her hand disapprovingly: "Lucent Technology has the support of Bell Labs. Isn't it that I'm leaving behind? Don't you feel at ease with this, Jeff, even if Cisco has competitors, it will never be Lucent."

Seeing Alice saying so surely, Bezos couldn't help but feel curious and couldn't help asking: "It's definitely not Lucent? It's the second in the industry now, right? It's not Lucent, is it the third place?"

In the next few words, Alice didn't listen to Bezos's simple rhetoric.

After lunch, there was still a short time before Sandy arrived at the company. After returning to the office, Alice immediately called her home.

After a while, Sophie, who was at home, must have connected it: "Hello, here is"

"Mom, how are our connections in China?"

Because there were some things in the morning, although it was about 1:00 in the afternoon, Sophie was still preparing lunch. She was thinking about various cooking times, but her daughter suddenly asked such a question, which made her confused.

"Chinese connections? Uh uh you mean Oscars; Hannah?"

Without knowing what Alice was going to plan, Sophie had to stammer: "Do you want to put domestic companies into China to develop? Or are you finally planning to let Oscars and Hannah go global?"

Alice also realized that her question was too sudden. At this moment, she sat comfortably behind the desk in the office and pulled up a new generation of switch information from the desktop: "That's right, mom, um I learned from an employee of Cisco that he is also a Chinese. He told me that a retired military cadre relative in his hometown of China is now planning to do the switch business."

Eight out of ten sentences are nonsense, but Sophie didn't know the personnel composition of Cisco. But after hearing her daughter's last sentence, she followed the idea: "So, are you planning to acquire that company? But it should not pose a threat to Cisco. So Alice, are you going to have the idea of ​​the Chinese market?"

She is really a mother. Even if Alice's thinking has always broken through the sky, her grasp of her daughter's thoughts is still quite good. So when the cheers of "Ouch Hey" came from the microphone, Sophie could think that her daughter must have snapped her fingers.

"Yes, mom, but this business is probably not suitable for you. Let my dad ask for a leave from the school and ask him to accompany me to China."

Of course this is fine, but Sophie is considering another question: "But you will start school in ten days, so do you have to ask Eaton for leave? Then you have to work hard to earn credits after you return to school."

Of course, Alice knows better than anyone else. She touched her lips, looked at the world map on the wall, and nodded vigorously: "That's it. Let's go to Shanghai first, see how Oscar Hannah develops, and then go to Shenzhen. According to my employee, his relative went to Shenzhen to work hard."

Sophie has heard a lot about the term Shenzhen. After all, when Oscar Hannah was first established, she personally stayed at the Shanghai headquarters for a while. She had heard of the so-called earliest coastal pilot city to open: "Shenzhen is so good, the climate there is similar to Florida, and now it has been considered a cold-proof place."

"But Alice, is your news reliable? Which generation of Chinese is your employee? Can he give the exact contact information of that relative?"

Alice was slightly silent because she needed to recall her memories of her past life.

"According to him, that relative worked at the Nanhai Petroleum Logistics Service Base in Shenzhen in 1983 and just resigned recently, so I can get his contact information directly from that company. However, he has a strong sense of national pride. If I contacted him directly as the founder of Cisco, there would probably be no good results. This requires the identity of Oscars and Hannah."

So that's the case. Sophie nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll help you contact Shanghai." To be continued.
