Today, the British Telecom Company ushered in an extremely important day, not because Alice Wang wanted to invest 50 million US dollars, nor because of the sudden visit of Crown Prince Charles. It is not because Alice Wang, the founder of Cisco, wanted to cooperate with the two companies while investing in the company. This is really important.

The same behavior, modified by different methods, can bring completely different meanings.

"Welcome to you, His Highness the Crown Prince, your arrival makes us feel glorious."

The capable brown hair is covered with thick oil, the Boss suit is even the new high-end position I bought yesterday, and the Patek Philippe on the left hand will only wear it on the most important day. For today's meeting, BT's CEO Patton Locke took great pains, and the entire board member of the house is not the same.

Standing at the door of the conference room, the crown prince shook hands with Patton Locke, who was walking up first and said, "I'm very happy to see you, Mr. Locke, the telecom company's marketing volume this year is very outstanding. I guess you have broken the record again?"

"That's certainly," Locke raised his chest proudly: "Our turnover in the fourth quarter increased by seven percentage points, and the annual quota was 1.5 times that of last year, and this is because..."

"It was still affected by that catastrophic Black Monday, otherwise it was not just seven percentage points, right, Mr. Rock."

Alice, wearing a small white suit, walked up and said to Charles with a smile: "Don't you introduce it?"

"Oh, how can you bother His Highness the Crown Prince?" If Patton Locke hadn't recognized the girl, his eyes were eaten by a dog. He immediately bent over and kissed him gently on the back of his hand as Alice raised her arm: "Wonderful girl, your name has long been spread throughout the world. Miss Wang of Cisco, what a beautiful operating system."

The two short sentences showed the other party's two most valuable identities. This flattery was so slapped that it was not obvious, but Alice could only smile reluctantly. When the man who was about the same age as her father stood up and made a gesture of inviting Prince Charles, she rubbed her clothes hard to rub the position where she had just been kissed.

Then, it was time for the guests to sit down, and the entire British Telecom Group board of directors, all twenty members were also sitting down.

"I won't say much more about the extra one."

After a few words of routine courtesy, Alice said: "A 50 million investment is nothing. We all know this. Time is limited, so we should focus on the potential cooperation space between you and Cisco."

It was really just a few polite words. Alice didn't even mention the idea of ​​investing 50 million, so she took the initiative to skip it. Such a maverick approach really made the board members stunned, even Patton Locke.

"Miss Wang, I think we should..."

"My man," Alice interrupted him again and said, "You know I'm only fifteen years old, so you can save all the procedures for adults. We can save trouble, right? The Crown Prince and I set off from Buckingham Palace in the morning, but the car was blocked on the street for a while. You and I were wearing watches. We should have to eat after a while. Let's talk about the key points first, otherwise I really don't have the heart to sit here, or do you want to start a meal in advance? But I really don't have enough appetite now, what do you think?"

With a fast-paced speech, many words are in complete oral form. Alice blurted them out in an instant, so no one had time to stop them.

Then, there was a moment of speechless silence. Looking at the whole house, Alice, with a smile on her face, proudly thrust her chest. Prince Charles looked surprised. The twenty people on the board of directors of the company headed by Patton Locke looked completely uncomfortable.

"Ah, ahem!" In the end, the crown prince broke the silence first: "Alice's words make sense, Locke, it's just a 50 million investment. If Alice wants to buy it directly on the stock market, it's just a matter of orders. Let's put it aside in advance, let's talk about Cisco."

With his beginning, Patton Locke became active, and immediately nodded with a smile and said, "Since the crown prince has decided like this, let's do it like this. Everyone, let's talk to Alice about cooperation with Cisco first, what do you think?"

Even now, I still have to go through the procedures. Alice is speechless about these typical British people's stereotypes of doing things.

Fortunately, the bloody situation of the House of Representatives voted never happened. Without further discussion, the new topic was opened by Alice again.

However, the first thing to introduce yourself is Patton Locke's side.

"It is no exaggeration to say that our British Telecom Company is the world's top telecom operator. I believe Ms. Wang understands it too."

Locke said proudly: "Our main business includes long-distance telephones in the UK and international telecommunications services. It is no exaggeration to say that more than 90% of home users in the country are using our lines."

"But at the same time," Alice took the conversation: "You have made average achievements in the emerging mobile phone industry. The company does have a mobile communications department, but the competitive pressure is very high. Although Ricar Telecom, a subsidiary of Ricar Electronics Co., Ltd., was independent in 1985, its strength growth rate is very amazing, and it will even be listed next year. I'm right?"

But when he took the speech, he was exposing his shortcomings. As soon as Alice said, many people on the board could not help but twitch their eyes. Even the crown prince frowned with her bold statement. Patton Locke's expression seemed to swallow a fly. In a moment, he tried hard to digest it quickly.

"Indeed...so," he said as if squeezing toothpaste: "It seems that Ms. Wang's idea of ​​investing in us and cooperating with us has a long history. So please tell me what benefits Cisco can bring to us?"

The situation was really subtle. The crown prince watched while watching, as a pure outsider, observing various details of the normal meeting.

First of all, it is certain that Cisco is not in a hurry to cooperate with BT.

The company is about to go public, and the sensational IPO has been published in the Wall Street Journal for many days. At this moment, its listing is destined to make a lot of money. Not to mention its position as an absolute leader and pioneer in the Internet hardware industry, the news of its cooperation with Lucent Technology, which is a long-time industry leader, is enough to make it sell at a good price at the opening.

Therefore, its cooperation with British Telecom is really just the icing on the cake.

But what about BT?

"We can open up new areas together, that is, network infrastructure."

First, let’s say a big truth, Alice explained in detail: “As we all know, the current network connection means dialing and networking phone lines. The overall process is that the user has a personal computer, an external or built-in modem, and then—in the past, it had to rely on a very expensive dedicated computer from ibm as the medium, but now it only takes a router—add a phone line and then dial the access number provided by the supplier to achieve the purpose of surfing the Internet.”

"I have a new patent on my hands now. Yes, Mr. Baker, sorry, Mr. Locke, I applied for this patent not long ago, and now the result has been completed."

Having said this, Alice suddenly stopped, then took a sip of tea without haste, and even took a stance to savor life. How could this make people from the company happy? Before Patton Locke even spoke, according to the introduction, Chad, the man who served as the director of the technical department, could no longer help it.

"Is the new technology? Is it the same nature as your router back then?"

This sentence is very in-depth, and the onlooker Crown Prince Charles immediately analyzed it.

The router, Alice built Cisco, which was built by this patent in 1984. Its cheap network access method even directly accelerated the infrastructure laying speed of American operators, let alone replaced the original expensive alternative. So now, since she first mentioned the current Internet access method, wouldn’t this so-called new patent be...

"This patent uses frequency division multiplexing technology to divide ordinary telephone lines into three relatively independent channels: uplink and downlink, thereby avoiding mutual interference. Therefore, users can use the Internet while making phone calls, without worrying about the decline in Internet access and call quality."

In one sentence, it is a new world, and Alice's explanation is not yet completed: "Theoretically, this patent can provide upstream rates upstream and downstream rates upstream of 1mbps on a pair of copper twisted pairs within a five-kilometer range, and can provide voice and data services at the same time."

After saying this, Alice savored the tea again, giving the directors plenty of time to digest and absorb the audience with a happy look.

"mpbs," said Chad, the technical department director, after a moment, "It's really an amazing rate. Miss Wang, are you sure the medium is still copper twisted pair? Not something that is unreliable if it's replaced with optical fiber?"

Is fiber optic unreliable?

Alice smiled bitterly, but the idea of ​​these British people is correct. Although optical fiber has entered the stage of being used for telephone communications a few years ago, it is still early to be truly commercialized, let alone the level of network communications.

"Yes, Mr. Chad, it's still copper twisted pair. We only need to use a new technology to achieve my above effects. So, especially, imagine the market space after cooperation. I believe it will never be small."

Seeing the directors desperately concealing their true feelings, Alice smiled with satisfaction.
Chapter completed!
