Chapter 487, We Silicon Valley people, that is called healthy competition!
In this way, the inauguration ceremony was completed.
What the Los Angeles Times will say tomorrow is not what Alice needs to pay attention to now. After saying goodbye to government officials, the crowds followed her together, surrounded by more than a dozen middle-aged men in suits and tied. They all took a spacious high-speed elevator and rose up to the high-rise building.
“This is the conference room.”
Alice was the first to open the door. The extremely spacious conference room was made of glass curtain walls on one side, which could directly overlook the entire Angel City from a height of nearly 600 meters. The other side was of course the walls of the conference room, but it was also composed of completely transparent glass walls. As a large office building, sufficient sense of space is a necessary basic condition.
“Wow, it’s amazing!”
In a brown and gray suit and slightly larger glasses frame, Bill Gates came to the window happily: "The space needle tower in Seattle is not that high!"
"The Empire State Building and the World Trade Center are also in trouble. The key is that there are buildings everywhere, and there is no such good scenery at all." Paul Allen stood next to his friends. The meeting was high-end enough that everyone did not need to be restrained. The two bosses of Microsoft were not in a hurry to sit down. Behind a few dozen skyscrapers is a whole plain metropolis. Looking down at the City of Angels from the perspective, it is not ordinary beauty.
"The table is very wide, and it seems... mahogany?" Intel's chairman Gordon Moore walked slowly and carefully stroked the surface of the conference table. This was Zhang who could sit down fifty people without being crowded, and was wide enough to lie down a Jordan's big table. Obviously, it had to be a pieced together structure, otherwise where would you find such a large wooden board?
"The price of Brazilian yellow sandalwood with rosewood is that's the case." Alice smiled and walked at the conference table. She didn't see the ceremony today. It was important to bring these people together. It was not a scheming lady suit, but a decent white long skirt, which was just matched with Sophie's black suit.
By the way, Sophie...
Alice looked at the door, a little later than the main force. In the order of the mother Sophie in front and the secretary Monica in back, the two pushed the door and walked into the room.
"Mr. Ellison," Sophie immediately came into the house and the head of the distinguished guests invited today, the boss of the Oracle Company of the Redwood Beach of San Francisco said, "Again, welcome today. I believe in the prospects of cooperation between Cisco and Oracle."
"It's also my honor, Ms. Wang." Larry Ellison, who was just 45 years old at the time, was well-dressed today. According to Alice's whisper, he was like a slut. After shook hands with Sophie, he still didn't forget to spit out a series of praise until he was interrupted by Alice.
"The chat ends and the chat ends. Let's start talking about the serious business. Come on, mom, Monica."
Leaving Ellison, then holding Sophie's hand and walking towards the seat, Alice took the opportunity to chew the ears: "I said mom, you have to stay away from that guy. I can ask about the smell of cologne on him three meters away. It's like a personal sprinkler truck!"
Sophie chuckled and sniffed: "Who said no, I almost sneeze just now."
The gossip was very short, and soon more than ten people present sat down. Monica and Sophie were on both sides of Alice, one on the left and one on the right.
Alice put her hands on the table and first opened her remark: "So, everyone, good morning."
Judging from the relevance of careers, Oracle's Ellison can be said to be the only outsider in the audience. In addition, Microsoft's Gates, Allen, Cisco's Posack couple, Intel's Gordon Moore, and A&A's two founders after Adobe and Autodesk recombined are Silicon Valley people closely related to Alice, all sitting on the right side of the conference table, sitting in an self-evident order.
But at the same time, several boss-level figures who are not known to most people yet, but who claim to be circles, gathered together and sat on the right side of the conference table.
The small brand was placed on the table, and Sophie's identity in the audience was quite distinct. Does the identity of Ceo, the US headquarters of "Oscar & Hannah International Clothing Co., Ltd.", still have to be held by an outsider? Although the market for this brand is still only in the Chinese-level Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, her daily phone calls are just chatting with Ashley's mother.
Wuya's father, Akaman from Kuroshui International, knew that he was a soldier at first glance, and everyone knew that he had arranged the security staff at the ceremony today. He sat in the second place on Alice's right hand, and his same black hair naturally attracted the attention of many people.
Sissi's father, Ceo of DreamWorks, and Roger Lawrence sat comfortably in the third position, almost sliding under the table. The French father was obviously in a good mood today. Just looking at his light-toned suit, you can understand that "Batman" was released in June, which made the company famous and profitable.
Then the fourth and fifth places are people with an absolute outsider and distinguished guest Ellison, who are not well-known to everyone present, but have a clear identity that is more extraordinary.
"Li Zeju, brothers Zekai, Victor and Richard, two eldest sons of Li Ka-shing, chairman of the Hong Kong Cheung Kong Group. Richard is now the general manager of Vanda in the UK and also serves as a protective umbrella; Victor is sitting here as the general manager of Hutchison Whampoa American Branch. Please welcome everyone."
Although they all knew who was who, after Alice finished speaking, the audience still heard a sound of applause accurately and neatly. Naturally, the two brothers who stood up one after another also sat down in the applause.
"Today is the day when this building is completed. I have no choice but to rent it out~"
He picked up the water poured by Monica on his left and took a sip. Alice smiled and said, "About the offices and branches of our companies, and how to arrange such things, we will have documents to directly indicate it when we look back. What I want to talk about now is about the future development path of our emerging group."
It was simply an incredible scene.
Sophie is an exception. Akaman is somewhat subtle. Looking at the audience, how many of them are under thirty years old? And who is not the founder of a large company?
These completely adults were all in a proper manner and allowed a seventeen-year-old girl to sit in the chief. When she proposed the word "development path", everyone not only did not look funny, but their expressions became more and more serious. Treatments that ordinary rich second-generations could not enjoy in power actually happened here.
"This world is in the process of a new revolution brought by computers. The power of this revolution will not be worse than the electrical revolution before World War I, but will only have stronger power. Gentlemen, especially those in Silicon Valley sitting on my left, please note that we are the pilots."
With Gordon Moore as the first person, the Silicon Valley circles immediately burst into laughter. Gates stuck out his tongue mischievously, Paul Allen whistled, Larry Ellison nodded thoughtfully, and Leonardo Posack and his wife were completely agreeing.
"Although... we haven't invited all the heavyweights in this room, such as the boss of ibm, or a few veterans of HP, or Apple's... Oh Bill, of course I know it has no future at all, but I can't contact Jobs now."
The previous sentence also looked like a big boss, but the next second he became a little sister who was bickering with the big brother. Alice's contrast in an instant caused a lot of laughter from everyone present.
"Anyway, I believe that all of us Silicon Valley people feel a strong sense of mission." The topic came back and everyone became serious again. Although Akaman, Lawrence and others on the right were not concerned about their own affairs, they also listened very seriously.
"I also believe that everyone will definitely work hard to develop a company with the ideal of 'making life better'. Because the effect is obvious, poor peers such as 'whose eggs are better' and 'whose eggs are better' and 'whose oil is better' can be avoided in our Silicon Valley..."
It turned out to be dark, Rockefeller, such a naughty little girl. Seeing the girl's boss's mouth bubbled seriously, the arcs on the corners of the mouths of everyone present were hooked up, and they couldn't take them back; 1.
"In other words, even if our Silicon Valley companies have competition, they are still a kind of healthy competition. Their overall, that is, computer technology, is developing. But like other industries... to be honest, everyone, who is the big part of the market, does anyone care about it?"
"puff!"
Before anyone else could laugh, Roger Lawrence suddenly squirted out all the coke in his mouth!
"Oh my God, be careful!" Sandy Posack was sitting opposite him. She said angrily: "We have a row of people here!"
Leonardo and Larry Ellison, who was invited, all of them were quickly stood up to find toilet paper. The table was full of them, and Lawrence was certainly not idle either. He quickly stood up to wipe the table, and at the same time he did not forget to apologize.
"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry..."
Alice sat in the chief, laughing and crying: "I said Uncle Roger, why are you so excited?"
Everyone laughed at Lawrence's embarrassment. He was quickly rubbing the last stain and said with a wry smile: "Because I care, don't you know I am an investor too? You lost 30 million US dollars in the stock market crash in '87'. I also invested in Pepsi!"
"Ha, Roger, then you can't do that." Sophie smiled, drawing circles with her slender fingers, and then pointed to Lawrence's Coke bottle accurately: "How can the shareholders of PepsiCo buy Coca-Cola?"
OK, now everyone in the audience really couldn't do it without hilariousness. At least Akaman didn't give his old friends any face and laughed happily than anyone else!
Well, our girl boss is the one who laughs the most, so let’s laugh together~
Chapter completed!
