The Goddess Shines on America
Chapter 216 Career Statistics and Invitation Arrival
In mid-May, it was time to go to Africa again. After all, if she wanted to study Caesar's DNA, Alice had to obtain genetic samples from other chimpanzees first. As for the chimpanzee used as a sample, it is more appropriate to find one in the forest at the bottom of the Great Rift Valley in person than to randomly find one from the zoo.
But the departure this time is a trip that lasts at least three to five days. After all, it takes a long time to arrive at Cairo by plane and then to the forest at the bottom of the valley by helicopter. Set aside an entire week of blank time. Therefore, she had to coordinate her work before that.
Speaking of work...
First of all, Microsoft and Cisco Systems are the least of your worries.
Microsoft, which has already been listed, is developing well. After announcing the news that Windows 2.0 will be released soon, it is estimated that it will bring Alice a million-dollar cash bonus every month for a year. At the same time, after having a large sum of money, Gates is also distributing the largest share of it to the Windows.NT R\u0026D team. Since this project became independent from IBM in April, a huge staff recruitment work is in progress. As of In mid-May, a full hundred programmers had already integrated into it.
Why not Cisco?
A whole several-storey headquarters building has been filled to the brim with 200 employees, and the busy work has made everyone tired. Just imagine, just the order placed by President Reagan himself, covering all the switches and routers required by governments at all levels in several states on the east coast, is already a giant with a transaction volume of more than 30 million , and Cisco's annual net profit last year was only 28 million!
You know, the profit margin of routers is terribly high...
This is a first priority order, and affected by the IBM incident, I don't know how many orders from large, medium and small enterprises are also pouring in. In fact, Sandy has hung up on the phone to Alice more than once, saying that too much business has overwhelmed all employees. And it is difficult for her to recruit more people on a large scale, because the space in the office building is really limited...
But no matter how tired they are, almost no employee complains. Alice stipulated the company's articles of association as early as a year ago, promising that when the company goes public, every programmer can buy stocks at the company's internal price, that is, implement the employee option system. Working for the company is working for yourself. No one doubts the prospects of Cisco after listing, so no one will refuse this opportunity to make themselves a millionaire!
Because the current Cisco is really developing too fast.
Everyone clearly remembers that at the press conference a few days ago, after Leonardo Posac, the Minister of Technology, one of the founders of the company, and a shareholder, introduced the product of the switch to the media, the news came like snowflakes. What an amazing order. After statistics, Sandy concluded that at least 60% of the first batch of incoming orders were old customers who had purchased routers.
It is at this moment that many people suddenly discover a problem that they have hardly paid attention to before.
For the current Internet hardware market that is almost blank, as the leader Cisco, every time it invents a new product and every time it updates an old model, it will trigger a frenzy of ordering in the entire market and all its customers. In this way, whenever a new product is released, the company will inevitably usher in a moment of skyrocketing performance, and all the programmers and Cheng Xuyuan... Of course, there will also be a new round of overtime work.
For this phenomenon, Alice can understand it very well. This is equivalent to the wave of change and market sensation that was triggered when Jobs launched the Ipod, iphone, and ipad and updated them.
But also to count the market position.
In the entire list of competitors, even the leading Lucent Technology, the quality of its routers is still at the level of Cisco's previous generation, let alone other companies?
Although based on the technology of Bell Labs, it is estimated that in a few months, Lucent may develop a new router equal to Cisco's current level. But at that time, it's time for Alice... well, it's time to throw out the third generation.
Really stress free.
As for the status quo of IBM, it is still very interesting to talk about. Centipede is dead but not stiff. Although this scandal has caused its stock price to plummet and its image to be greatly damaged, after nearly two months of hard work, whether it includes offsetting cash flow or implementing preferential policies regardless of cost , Coupled with the secret exchanges between high-level officials and government officials, it can be regarded as sustaining.
But it is just holding on. It is foreseeable that for a long period of time, IBM's stock price can only be maintained at 75% of its heyday level, and its daily profits have been greatly reduced.
And during this period of time, Alice didn't take the opportunity to trip it up, such as taking the opportunity to buy stocks. After all, this incident is not guided by the general trend of history at all, and it would be better to have less relationship.
And then, there are other business chores.
Regarding the Bantam Book Company, Alice hasn't released a new book for half a year, but editor Brown can't urge anything like cultural people to create. "Jurassic Park" and "Bloody Tales" still lead sales, enough to keep selling thousands of copies a month, even if they are no longer at the top of the New York Times bestseller list.
Of course, in this regard, Alice did not intend to make a lot of money from it from the beginning, it was purely for fun. If there is any purpose, apart from the bad taste of branding well-known works with your own mark, it is just that you don't want the public to think that you are a technical madman and a businessman full of money.
After all, the so-called artistic young women, few girls would refuse such a title.
Then DreamWorks, "Alien 2" is still in the preparation stage.
Yes, the preparatory work for a movie will be very lengthy, the more expensive the movie is, the more this is the case, and one month is not enough time for major changes.
At the very least, for this "remake" of the movie by herself, Alice spent a lot of money to find a special arms dealer and a heavy industry factory to produce equipment. The time for this item alone cannot be completed in a month. What's more, Cameron still has to do casting, recruiting crews, looking for shooting locations, etc. Lawrence also needs to contact major theaters and related media for preliminary publicity and Promotion work, things to do is simply a basket.
Then, for Electronic Arts Entertainment, which was just acquired by itself not long ago, it can be said that it has ushered in the peak period of development. After the sufficient capital injection of five million US dollars, a new round of staff recruitment and the production of new projects have been vigorously launched, and the enthusiasm of the staff is even more enthusiastic.
According to the timetable they gave, "Sim City" will be available in the fall of this year. A half-year work cycle, a new product, for the current Electronic Arts, is already a masterpiece of conscience with the strength of the whole company.
That seems to be all there is to it.
Except for routine directing of the Windows.NT project, and email correspondence, Alice was really free for a while.
That's right, otherwise she wouldn't have the energy to do weird scientific research like she is now, right?
But even so, if you want to go to Africa, you have to wait for one thing to be completed.
"Alice? Alice! Open the door!"
In the early morning, when Alice's family was chewing sandwiches around the dining table, Sissy knocked on the door suddenly.
"what the hell?"
Oscar was drinking milk, startled by the sound of her slamming on the door, and almost spit it out.
James had just finished his breakfast and was about to pick up the newspaper: "It seems that Sissy has something important to ask you, Weiwei, why don't you hurry up?"
"Woo, it'll be fine soon."
After eating the last bit of the sandwich in two bites, Alice quickly ran to the entrance and opened the door.
"Why so slow!?"
Sissy stood at the door, although she was neatly dressed, there were still some bread crumbs on the corners of her mouth, she obviously came over in a hurry: "Look at this!"
Alice ignored the envelope she handed over, but shook her head with a smile, and brushed the bread crumbs from the corner of Sissy's mouth with her hand: "Look at you, you are so embarrassed, you also ate sandwiches this morning?"
Sissy coughed, wiped the corners of her mouth, and handed over the envelope: "Look at this, idiot!"
Alice's gaze focused on the clay of the envelope.
"This is... Eton's exam invitation letter!?"
"That's right, Eaton's exam invitation letter!"
Sissy screamed and hugged Alice: "Invitation letter! Alice, I can go to Windsor Town for the exam!"
"Well done, well done!"
The soprano voice at the door had already attracted the whole family. Hannah was still holding a blueberry in her mouth, and patted Sissy on the shoulder: "There are thousands of girls who want to sign up, and you are still a transfer student, too. Rare."
"I must thank Ashley's grandma!"
After screaming, Sissy still hung her whole body on Alice: "If she didn't know the principal, I definitely wouldn't be able to succeed!"
"Yes, yes."
In this regard, Alice is deeply convinced: "There must be many students with higher grades and overall qualities than you. How about my dear, do you want to express your gratitude to Ashley?"
Sissy glared at her: "Stinky bastard, my application materials don't need to be inferior to yours. Even with my real skills, I can still get in the top 100, okay?"
"Excuse me, sisters."
Sophie stood at the entrance with a smile: "Since Sissy's invitation letter has arrived, Alice, yours should also be sent to the mailbox, right?"
"Oh, yes, it is necessary to see!"
Only then did Alice remember that she and all Ji friends had applied for Eaton: "Come on, Sissy, come to my mailbox to check!"
"Asshole, don't pat my ass!"
"It's yours~"
And tonight. . .
