Four hundred and ninetieth chapters, miserable cat meowing
Of course, meetings should be held in a sequence, and those who have nothing to do with each other should theoretically be withdrawn. The morning topic revolves around the Silicon Valley circle, which theoretically has nothing to do with Lawrence, Akaman and others, but everyone knows that these "non-Silicon Valley circle" companies were built by King Alice with relatives and friends as management. The conference table is listed on the left and right, which is not without reason.
Therefore, even when the meeting was held again in the afternoon, there was still no Oscars & Hannah, Blackwater International and DreamWorks, etc., but several bigwigs still took their seats in the conference room openly and did not treat themselves as outsiders at all.
Since it is already afternoon, the content of the meeting will of course not be just corporate mergers. Since the resources have been integrated, the new round of specific corporate exhibition plans can be talked endlessly.
"Cisco, respectively, reached cooperation with British Telecom and A&, and added the global Internet infrastructure laying progress. Routers and switches are based on internal prices, and at the same time, they contacted Lucent Technology to jointly carry out further research on fiber optic technology."
Of course, the topic should start with the closest companies. After Alice's resolution was issued, she served as the general manager and marketing director Sandy Posack said: "In terms of network infrastructure, the distribution characteristics of the United States are that the east and west coasts are highly dense. If the scale of expansion is to be expanded, will it be more convenient to establish a New York branch?"
Alice pondered for a few seconds and nodded, "There is no need for a branch, just one office. We are a professional Internet player. If we have to build another branch in a single country, wouldn't that be the same as destroying our own signature?"
Some people are chuckling, while Sandy Posack has a deeper anxiety: "But if we focus our business all at the headquarters company, our current work intensity will be at least doubled, right? British Telecom and A& have purchased our products, but they are simply as customers, if we cooperate directly on infrastructure..."
"So Sandy, it's necessary for the company to hire a professional manager."
Of course, Alice knew best how Cisco was doing the best. She sat at the conference table and looked at the former university professor deeply: "I believe that the industrial chain merger and acquisition route in the past two years will have a lot of burden on you, right?"
This sentence really goes to the heart. Cisco's industrial chain merger and acquisition strategy is that when a startup company has an industry product that it has not yet owned, it will directly buy the small company to expand and improve its product system. As a personal experiencer, Sandy does understand how much it has in promoting the company's development, but it has to talk about its own execution...
"I'm busy!" she sighed: "First I want to realize such a small business, then communicate with the other party, then reach an agreement, and then be busy with specific mergers and acquisitions... This is not a simple job, I have to rely on coffee to refresh myself for many days!"
My wife was sighing, and Leonardo Posack was also nodding in great cooperation.
Not far away, Gates curled his lips silently and exchanged glances with Paul Allen.
There is no doubt that even though Cisco has gone to this day, the couple is still the life of working poorly.
Alice easily captured the small movements of Microsoft and smiled silently: "So for Cisco, I will just order a professional manager. John Chambers, a bachelor of business and law at West Virginia University, obtained MA from Indiana University's Business School, and was in M Company. Recently, he was responsible for sales in Asia at Wang'an Computer Company. I think I still have the ability to persuade him to join Cisco. With such a CEO, the M&A strategy will definitely be implemented."
A resolution on changes in the Cisco system's top management was issued like this. As for how deep the water is in these words, I am afraid that the many big guys here will have the capital to think deeply.
Sandy Posack, one of the three startups in the company, is a customer service director, marketing director and part-time general manager. For five years, she has been working diligently on the front line. As a result, in just one sentence, she will be stripped of at least one and a half of her positions by the airborne troops. Not only can she not complain, she even has to thank Alice for reducing her pressure...
Gordonmore and Larry Ellison, the two-year-oldest of the audience, gave Alice a deep look.
"Okay, it seems that I have found a job for myself." The girl on the table smiled and said, "That's it. After I told Chambers to take up his post, Cisco officially began to enter the global Internet infrastructure field. The Atlantic submarine cable has been laid, but the blank area here in the Pacific is still very large, and I believe... Cisco China Branch has certainly great potential for its development."
Another sentence, another new resolution. In fact, unlike the descriptions in many film and television dramas, in real life, many company exhibition plans are not proposed "very formal". They are often just because of the daily words of employees and management. In other words, Alice is indeed a special one. Who said that she has always been just a student? It is really the board of directors held regularly to make her have a big talk.
As a new partner, Oracle will not make any noise yet, just continue to sell its database as usual. The investment is only 10% and the contact time is not long. Of course, Alice cannot make jokes with Ellison like Commander Posack and Gatesgoo. The company's exhibition is entirely based on its potential.
Yes, the momentum is just like the tree-like model proposed by Ellison in the morning. Oracle's career is the most fundamental part of the entire information age. Only when the entire industry is flourishing can its value be reflected to the highest extent.
But Alice can still talk about the "proposals" and "suggestions" related to specific operations.
"We also talked about Sun Systems in the morning. Although for our entire information age exhibition strategy, I chose to cooperate with Oracle instead of Sun System, in terms of details, Larry, how about we directly let Oracle acquire the Sun System?"
Remove the question structure and can be used directly as a news title. You can imagine the heavyweight of Alice's words. Ellison blinked and said in a deep voice: "The scale of the Sun System is quite large. What do you like about it?"
Alice blinked: "What...you know, Larry, there is a computer institute there in my umbrella."
After she said this, Ellison then remembered in a daze, yes, at the end of the table, there were two sons of a Hong Kong rich man?
I think it's the same nature as the Posacks?
There is no doubt that every proposal from Alice was proposed to the current company from the perspective of a person who has experienced it. Sun Systems was eventually acquired by Oracle, and its subsequent products were two absolute server-level and database operating systems, so1a SunS and oraux. In fact, looking back from the original timeline, Oracle's main products in later generations were almost all the legacy left by Sun System. The most widely known of them is the Ava language.
The most distinctive feature of the consortium is the interoperability. Although it has not been determined whether the company that Alice just established should be called the Silicon Valley consortium or the bloody Alice consortium, the interoperability has been revealed. Oracle will grow based on Cisco. Its acquisition of the solar system can enrich itself and provide considerable technical support to the computer research institute of the protective umbrella. All the board members are sitting here. If there is any stakeholder, wouldn’t they all be proposed on the spot?
"We can announce the listing date." Then the words are about Gates, project n, a major project that has been working for hundreds of people for many years. To this day, he can finally say this sentence with tears in his eyes.
"I think Mr. Ellison, Oracle's database should be integrated with the n system, right?"
Everyone's eyes were focused on these two Silicon Valley masters. Although they were inconspicuous, Li Zekai was the most excited student of the Computer Engineering Department of Stanford University. Even if the topics and he had limited connections with him at this moment, how could he be willing to move his butt?
Of course, Li Zeju, who is the elder brother, can only be with him.
Ellison smiled and said, "Oracle uses the Unix-related system, which is very different from Microsoft and M's system. If you want to integrate them, it is equivalent to integrating the software on the Apple system into indos. Mr. Gates, are you sure you want to take such a detour?"
But Gates shrugged easily: "Maybe you can open a new database for n?"
"It is of course possible in theory, but at the cost..."
"Hey gentlemen." Seeing that these two people were talking endlessly, Alice had to stop in time: "Be careful of monopoly. The database and the operating system are directly related. Bill, you think so beautifully. Isn't this waiting for other colleagues to sue us?"
The most basic premise for the implementation of the antitrust law is either the victim or the prosecutor himself can't stand it, but in short, someone will sue you!
A lively meeting lasted until around 3 pm. Although there was nothing "Sophie and others" throughout the whole process, even if you listen to it, it was of great significance in all senses. However, this series of new exhibition strategies must be carried out step by step. Today, it is just a gathering after the building is completed. No matter how lively the banquet is, there is a moment when it should be over.
"It's finally over..."
In the elevator, Alice was the last elevator to take away the Silicon Valley group. She was still on the floor where the conference room was located, and she stretched her waist lazily.
"It's finally over?"
However, behind her, with Sophie as the first, another group of adults came over with a smile.
"Vivi, you can't rest as a boss."
Chapter completed!
