Chapter 41, Microsoft's morning
Alice's "Jurassic Park" can be said to be cost-effective when copying a book at will and then allowing the industry's top book companies to operate and publish. She will certainly not take too much into consideration when facing computers, relying on her terrible memory and abundant physical strength to copy other people's works at a speed of tens of thousands of words per hour.
But Xixi was really shocked by her. Although no one knew when Alice started writing this book, it was unquestionable that her achievements were in front of her. Her casual provocation made her friend throw out a long book at a flying speed. No girl could be calm about it.
In particular, Alice has already read the manuscript for Sissi. Of course, the whole family has carefully read the "Jurassic Park" which should have been compiled by a famous writer, screenwriter, famous director, and Michael Clayton. Although I am of course alive at this time, and I should have written it in a few years, as long as Alice's publication date is slightly earlier than the beginning of the conception stage of the deity, it is not a problem.
In this way, the remaining days of May soon passed, and the hot June had arrived. In this total of about fifteen days, the Bantam Book Company has indeed taken action and started to carry out preliminary publicity activities for "Jurassic Park", namely, widely distributing various survey manuals, questionnaires, leaflets, etc.
At the same time, Cisco, which is registered in the living room of a private home, has also made some progress. After nearly a month of hard work, Sandy was extremely frustrated to find that she had spent so long and thousands of dollars in funds, but she still could not optimize Alice's router design drawings.
This is certainly a matter of course. After Alice talked to Posack many times, she came to this conclusion with a silent smile.
After all, although the router I handed over is definitely a strict defective product with low efficiency and fewer functions compared to later products, it is only based on contemporary network construction requirements and hardware levels. If it is purely from the design level, it has really compressed the cost to the lowest level.
To put it bluntly, Alice designed old-time products at the level of the 21st century. For example, when the existence of a car was first born in the late 19th century, she moved out the assembly line operation method of Ford. Although the car's shape and performance are still subject to the times, the production efficiency can no longer be improved.
There is really no Alice to do at the company at present. The Posacks are busy. When they really invent the finished router, sell it to several users, and earn an order of hundreds of thousands of dollars, they will not be able to do it until next year.
In the field of books, it is still only the initial market research period, and the five members of the Wang family even filled out five questionnaires themselves. Whether it is before the new book is launched or Alice's heart, it is still early for Spielbert to make it into a movie.
So, in this hot June, she first focused her attention on a celebrity.
Bill Gates.
After a very young age, after realizing that her brain was extremely developed and intelligent, especially her mental power could be used as superpowers, Alice did not intend to be an ordinary person. Unfortunately, even though she was just a fifth grade in elementary school, she was really impossible to do anything.
But now, by chance, I met the Posacks and his wife after I made the router with a scheduling and naturally established Cisco. So, although I am still young, Alice really doesn't plan to be honest anymore.
Wednesday, June 20th.
Albuquerque, New Mexico.
The noon sun shines in the city full of vehicles. As the largest city in New Mexico, Albuquerque houses nearly 500,000 residents. Not only is the Cortland Air Force Base located here, but the University of New Mexico, Sandia National Laboratory, and the National Historical Museum of Petrochemical Forests located here. It is not only a scientific research base for nuclear energy and new energy, aerospace, and computing engineering in the United States after World War II, but also one of the fastest-growing cities in the country.
This is one of the reasons why Bill Gates registered Microsoft here.
Microsoft was founded nine years ago, but it has become a large company well-known to everyone in Albuquerque. In fact, as an emerging computer company, it has been in the limelight recently.
At the Computer Expo in Las Vegas last year, Microsoft's young CEO Bill Gates spent a lot of effort to promote a new product of the company. Not only did he make all the taxi lights in Vegas City display Microsoft-Windows 1.0, but even the pillows of hotels in the city are full of these things. The publicity is really extraordinary!
So, what is this win or dos, and what the hell is it?
The window operating system, and unlike the damn closed source of Apple's "Lisa", CEO Gates has long stated that the operating system will open an access to third parties and allow other companies to design various software on this platform. In short, according to his publicity, it is a new operating system that Apple is currently using.
Unfortunately, this company, which has earned tens of millions of net profits in just nine years, has been delayed for a long time. During the promotion last year, Gates kept saying that Microsoft would release the system in the spring of 1984, but now it is mid-June, and they still can't even let it go.
Of course, no one is in a hurry. Users and third-party companies do not care much about when Microsoft's new products will be released. Its competitors even hope that it will not be released. As for the media, of course, no matter whether it can be published or not, there are topics to be discussed. Whether it is satirical or flattering, it is nothing more than the same editor writing two different articles, and no one is in a hurry.
Except for Microsoft itself.
"It has not been done yet, it has not been done yet. This algorithm is not qualified, and that algorithm is definitely not qualified..."
The sound of fans roaring everywhere in the hot computer room. Ordinary people will sweat and dizzy as long as they stay here for a while. But in such an environment, a man with a blond haired baby-faced face is sitting in a corner, holding a small notebook in his hand, muttering constantly.
"Mr. Gates? Mr. Gates?"
A woman in her forties walked to the entrance of the central computer room. Compared to other secretarys, Lu Bao, as a mother of four children, was obviously more kind and maternal.
"Mr. Allen said that there is an urgent matter to come to you, and the company's plenary meeting will be held immediately!"
The man is Bill Gates, and his baby face makes him look particularly young compared to any of his peers.
Lu Bao still remembers what kind of joke she made when she first joined Microsoft.
That happened several years ago. When she first joined Microsoft as secretary, she was told that the company's central computer room was a top-secret area and no one could get close to it.
Lu Bao certainly remembered this requirement.
But one day, she suddenly saw a young man walking into the company. A young man she had never seen before, walked into the central computer room in a swagger. According to the regulations, of course, she reported to her boss immediately, and got the answer: "That's our chairman."
"Chairman? God, how old is he this year?"
“21 years old.”
This is the answer Lubao got. As for the baby face that looks particularly young, when many people from other companies called to ask how to recognize Gates at the airport, Lubao would say: "It's very easy. As long as you see a big boy who seems to be only 16 years old, with blond hair, glasses, and a very different temperament, that's our CEO!"
At the same time, since she is already a mother of four children, Lubao really feels like taking care of her son for Gates. She is even more clear that Gates often mingles in the computer room with another founder of the company, Paul Allen, and he stays in the computer room whenever he is busy.
"Mr. Gates?"
So at this moment, after seeing Gates "stammering" in the computer room again, she shouted patiently without surprise: "Mr. Allen wants you to go to the meeting quickly!"
It was not until she shouted this sentence three times that Gates finally raised his head: "Lubao, if it's just those same content, let me stay here."
Lubao tskated: "Bill, I don't know what's going on, but Mr. Allen is obviously very anxious. Dozens of people in the company have gathered together, and you're the one who's missing."
After a few more seconds of hard work, Gates stood up from the concrete floor and patted his butt and said, "What's the trouble with that damn baby face? Don't you know I'm working on a damn algorithm? Bastard!"
Complaining, Gates walked out of the computer room with great strides and skillfully found the door leading to the conference room.
"Oh damn it, Bill, you're here!"
The speaker has a big, shiny head, which is the senior Gates met at Harvard, Microsoft's current executive vice president of sales support, Steve Ballmer.
When he finished speaking, Gates also noticed that the whole house was filled with people from the entire company. Fifty-five engineers stood together in a pile, among which Gates' good buddy, another founder of Microsoft, Paul Allen, wearing round glasses, looked serious.
"What's wrong with Allen, this serious expression is not suitable for you."
Paul said without any interest in making fun of him.
Chapter completed!
