The Goddess Shines on America

On the eve of the last day of 1987, Jeff Bezos was one of the many Cisco people who did not sleep well.

It wasn't long, only half a month, but the conversation with Alice still lingered in his ears. Whether I should continue to stay at Cisco for development, or go to a broader stage with this rare resume, seems to be a difficult choice. This is not because he is greedy for the profits after the company goes public, although Cisco is almost the first company to distribute option shares to all employees, and it is not because the boss is going to drive people away tomorrow, but because he is really moved by the girl's words up.

"Do you want to develop in the banking system? Account managers seem to be very interesting, but managing an entire bank's computer system... The boss really dares to think, how can I be so good?"

Before he knew it, it was almost morning, and it was time to go to work. Without opening the curtains, Bezos turned on the bedside lamp and looked at the business card Alice gave him. It is made of very fine materials, and the maiden name of the girl is printed in cursive fonts. There is no superfluous title, but the Cisco logo is printed on the upper right corner of the business card, the wireless signal pattern evolved from the Golden Gate Bridge.

"But you can really try it. Now most of the elites of the computer department come to Silicon Valley, and only some ordinary students will work as network administrators in other companies. Although I am not as good as my colleagues, at least I also participated in Cisco. For those who have completed two and a half projects, there is no need to worry about writing their resumes..."

Bezos, who is thinking wildly in his mind, is not as worried about gains and losses as other "unemployed" employees when he is constantly thinking about the future. I have just been recruited into another new project. The charm of the DLS series is not simple. I will be envied by other colleagues every day when I get off work. No boss would drive someone away at this time, so it can be seen that Alice, who gave her business card, was indeed thinking of Bezos.

"Hey, at least finish this project, oh...it hurts!"

Finally, when Bezos finally figured it out and sat up from the bed, it was almost full light. Damn myself, Bezos complained as he scrambled out of bed, how many times has this happened, how many times have he stayed up in the middle of the night thinking about it? Damn me, if this goes on like this, Bosac should just resign himself!

Walking out of the rental unit, taking the creaking elevator downstairs, and then in the parking lot, I found the second-hand Chevrolet I bought in my freshman year of college—now it’s the third-hand. It took Bezos half a minute to light the fire, because Joseph on the fourth floor was passing by with his girlfriend in his arms. I really don’t know why Joseph’s heart is so big. Is it because Catherine’s butt is big?

It took him half a minute to light the fire just to think about these things.

The car drove out of the parking lot, and then drove all the way to the familiar streets. There were already many vehicles rushing to various parts of San Jose, and the streets during the rush hour were not for people to cross casually. Bezos wasn't in a hurry to hit the main road, but he got the car ready and went to the corner to buy the latest copy of the San Jose Mercury-Journal.

"Cisco went public today!"

Bold and black fonts, obvious headlines, and a photo taken in front of the company's new headquarters building. Bezos grinned, not stupid enough to read the newspaper now, and drove to the company immediately.

That's right, it's time to arrive at the new corporate headquarters building.

San Jose is a big city, and Bezos seriously needs to drive some distance to get to the new company location. The car drove on the highway, and soon passed through the residential area and came to the place where enterprises gathered. Of course, this is not Manhattan, nor is it the center of Los Angeles. The buildings of technology companies all occupy a vast area and the number of floors is not high. This was the case in the former Cisco headquarters, and now it has changed to a new site with the same style.

As early as when Bezos drove into the parking lot on time, he had already seen this large open space from a long distance.

Yes, a big open space.

As of October, Cisco has realized a monthly profit of 5 million, so naturally it has enough strength to pay for its future. What a huge piece of land, with an area of ​​more than a thousand yards along the side of the highway, and a length of nine hundred yards in the longitudinal direction. What kind of size is this?

Undoubtedly, the company's top management wanted to build it as a science and technology park, and it took a long time just to ask the construction company to demolish the old buildings. But at present, there are only two buildings that can be used on this open space, and at most one staff dormitory building is under construction to provide some staff in need.

A four-storey main building, roughly the size of a stadium, has a parking lot in front of it, and Bezos is slowly driving into it. On the other side, there is a three-storey No. 2 building, of course, the area is not small, and it is specially prepared for the customer service, personnel, and accounting departments.

"Hey Jeff!"

When Bezos had just parked the car, he saw his colleague Anne not far away shouting: "Did you bring me the fruit of thousands of comments?"

"Yes; pancake fruit, Annie." Bezos stepped forward with a smile, and handed Annie a breakfast bought on the road: "If you haven't learned Chinese well, don't talk nonsense. If the boss hears it, you must You can't kill yourself with a joke."

Annie smiled brightly, and took a bite of the pancake fruit immediately: "The boss won't laugh at me, the boss will only laugh at you men, let's go, today is an important day, don't let everyone Wait in a hurry."

As she said that, Annie, with long fiery red hair, trotted towards the headquarters building, and Bezos followed quickly, with a happy smile on her face.

It's really, really rare. It is a rare thing for a woman to become a programmer. She and he can still work in the same company, and were even called into this DLS series project together. Looking at the back of such a beautiful girl, Bezos can't help but feel a little confused. Should he really go to the outside world?

Today's Cisco is indeed the busiest day in history. On the third floor of the headquarters building, that is, in the extremely spacious main work area of ​​the technical department that occupies almost the entire floor, all the employees of the company were immediately evacuated as soon as they arrived. Notifications go here. At this time, in this space that is almost equivalent to a small football field, a thousand people almost filled every space.

"Hey, Benji, move your books, I don't have room to sit!"

"Move my book? Why don't you say move your butt? Isn't it enough for two people to sit at a table?"

"Hey~ over there~ Harry! Romiel! Hess! Look at me~"

"Oh damn, that guy Mader can actually guard two beautiful girls!? Bastard, isn't he also from the technical department? When did he hook up with the customer service lady!? I'm so envious, look at Harry!"

"Don't make trouble, the boss is here."

What he said was to stop making trouble, but when Alice, who was wearing a pair of jeans and a dark thin sweater, strode forward and appeared at the front of the office, the ceiling of the newly built Cisco headquarters was lifted up!

"Alice! Alice! Alice! Alice!"

"BOSS! BOSS! BOSS! BOSS!"

"Alice! Alice! Alice! Alice!"

"BOSS! BOSS! BOSS! BOSS!"

Waves of sound pierced the sky, and shouts pierced the ground. The Bosacks who followed behind had to quickly cover their ears. Sandy was so shocked that his heart felt uncomfortable, and he subconsciously covered his heart. Who on earth arranged this in advance? The deafening shouts of thousands of employees were intended to induce the sudden death of the weak and sick! ?

"ah…………"

In the end, it was Alice's voice that silenced everyone. A simple monosyllabic word, but the volume seems to be using an electric speaker. Seeing this scene, the personnel director standing not far away asked in a low voice: "How did she do it?"

The deputy director shrugged: "How do I know?"

After a while, the cheers of the crowd stopped. Alice stood in front of the microphone—a director seemed to have found the answer for herself—he paused for a moment, and finally spoke after the audience was completely silent.

"today!"

The good sentence "Today" was recited in a majestic manner, and it was even louder under the amplification of the speakers. All the employees in the audience looked at Alice with all their energy, looking forward to her next sentence.

"It's the first time you bastards, when everyone goes to work on time!"

Then, the next sentence was irrelevant, and Bezos, who was standing in the crowd, smiled wryly and thought, at least three or two hundred people are completely confused, right?

However, the old employees were already familiar with the behavior of the big boss. At least half of the people in the audience shouted in confusion.

"It's not going to work on time! It's reporting in advance! I still worked overtime last night! I applied for early leave today!"

"I didn't fall asleep last night!"

"I didn't fall asleep last night! Who the hell was able to sleep last night!!"

"I was dancing disco at the front desk at four o'clock this morning!"

"Boss, boss, it's rare for you to arrive at the company at nine o'clock in the morning. Usually, I don't see you at all!"

Thousands of voices fluctuate continuously, each with its own rhetoric, which is more shocking than five thousand ducks... Noisy, at least Sandy Bosack couldn't help but want to cover his ears. The scene that had been quiet just now was completely turned into a vegetable market by Alice's voice.

"Shut up!"

Then, Alice held the microphone and interrupted everyone by yelling again: "What's the noise!? I don't know if I'll be there in ten minutes after half past nine!? You bastards, hurry up and turn on the TV for me!" ……monitor!"

where is this

This is Cisco's headquarters!

The display screen has long been laid on the entire wall. Cisco routers, Cisco switches, and even Cisco firewalls work together. In a short time, the stock trading chart of Nasdaq appeared in the audience In front of thousands of people!

I would like to recommend a book that feels good to everyone. The fellow who eats the spirit of the halberd is called the strongest foodie who eats the halberd. Let me tell you, his cover has a kind of arrogance and arrogance, I can't describe it, you just go and look at it and you will understand.
