The Goddess Shines on America

Although the hard-working employees gave priority to laying optical fiber network cables in the office, the most basic work has not yet started. After Jimmy and Gary left, Alice immediately called Bosak and asked him to follow her to the office. Take a walk around the 114th floor.

The construction of skyscrapers hundreds of meters high has always been a century-old project, not to mention that Alice uses it as the ultimate headquarters. If it is said that in terms of architectural structure, the designer needs to consider the impact of various extreme weather, then in terms of internal planning, of course, she needs to consider the development prospects of the entire consortium herself.

An entire skyscraper with a height of 632 meters can accommodate too many units. Cisco, Microsoft, and Intel all set up offices here, as did DreamWorks, Blackwater International, and even Oscar \u0026 Hannah. The Li family in Hong Kong has long been eager to set foot in the Americas. As for Alice herself, she is still waiting for Google to be established in due course in the 1990s.

Therefore, after everything is ready, her working mode is naturally to sit on the top of the building, and then issue orders one by one to the whole building. Therefore, in this case, the priority and importance of building area network construction is naturally at the forefront of all work. After all, if "Umbrella Capital Investment Company" is the hub of all affiliated companies of the entire Emerging Consortium, then this entire building is even more equivalent to the brain of this juvenile consortium.

Therefore, regarding the construction of the LAN in this building, one should not take it lightly. And the most basic strengthening method among them is, of course, to use the optical fiber network at least ten years earlier than the times, regardless of the cost.

The biggest difference between optical fiber network and ordinary copper twisted pair is not only the change of transmission rate in quality, but also its ability to keep information confidential. Of course, simply changing the communication medium cannot fundamentally prevent hackers from invading information. It can at best avoid the behavior of cutting wires at the corners. Therefore, if you really want to turn the "floor area network" of Alice Building into an impregnable wall, you still need to start with the server room.

Of course, although this building that plagiarized the "Shanghai Tower" has "only" 118 floors, which is much shorter than the 168-story Burj Khalifa, it is still a super skyscraper that goes straight into the sky. Although it can't achieve the effect in "Mission: Impossible IV", it is really a huge international joke to say that Alice can't spare a floor for the computer room of the building area network.

Because of the special objective conditions, the order of the internal construction of Lisi Building is precisely from top to bottom. The floor of the computer room is related to the entire building, and even the information transmission and safety issues of the entire hub system, so of course it has to be put aside. Under the nose of the boss.

"Safety and efficiency, these are the only two points we pursue, and yes, safety is higher than efficiency."

At this time, the two of them strolled in an empty room on this floor, because the work had just started, and some empty shelves had just been placed here at this moment, and the servers, firewalls, switches and other equipment had not been installed yet.

"In addition, all computer rooms are equipped with voice-activated sensor lights, and sensors are buried under the floor!"

For the first sentence, Bosac temporarily wrote it down in his notebook, but he couldn't calm down about the second sentence: "Voice-activated lights and...vibration sensors? Alice, 007 is just a movie after all. , you are not so exaggerated, are you?"

"Leonardo, you must believe in the IQ of criminals." Alice stood in front of a glass curtain wall, giggling and said, "What kind of crime is committed by a villain of any level? If there are commercial spies who want to come to us to steal information, isn’t that just like 007?”

This remark was so reasonable that Bosac was speechless immediately, so he had to write down this request in a small notebook with a wry smile: "Okay, voice-activated lights and vibration sensors, then do you want to change the door too?" Made in Switzerland? Thirty-six-digit mechanical code?"

This is of course just a complaint, but Alice thought about it very seriously: "Electronic combination lock...we can think about this new product. Really, Leon, an Intel CPU, plus a simple access control The system is fine. Let’s use ordinary doors to survive, and I’ll let Exeter research the electronic combination lock.”

Poor Posak was listening, blinking his eyes, and was startled by Alice's sudden concept: "Electronic...combined lock? You just said, a CPU, plus an access control system?"

"That's right, it's not a particularly complicated thing to input the password into the control system and then operate the circuit to open the lock." Alice shrugged with relief: "It's just that the companies that produce door locks don't have any locks yet. Thinking about using computer technology... Whoops...wait."

While talking, Alice just said that she was stunned.

"Yes, electronic combination lock!" Then with a snap, Alice clapped her fists and said, "It's a blank market right now, and the technology is not complicated anyway, so we have no reason not to play with it!"

It seems that they have found a new way to do business again. With such a small boss working hard, who needs to worry about their future? Bosak thought for a while, and temporarily wrote down the letters "E" and "D" in a small notebook. After all, this is another level of business secrets.

"So that's it, Leon, you continue to work on your work first, take my office and Cisco's office as the first priority, and let everyone go online first. Don't forget to let the delivery person pay attention , what we want are optical fiber interface products, there are only a few private goods in total, if anyone can deliver the wrong one, I curse him for not being able to find a wife in this life!"

Saying so, Alice ran out of the room at a high speed.

"Hey, Alice!" But Posak immediately yelled: "If we want to go online, we need to ask AT\u0026T to arrange the wiring on the ground floor first, and the work hasn't even started yet!"

Ever since, with a slam of the brakes, Alice stood still in the corridor.

Then, she turned her head with a wooden face, with a dazed look on her face.

"...the ground floor?"

It seems that the little boss really has a lot of people. Posak quickly followed up and quickly explained: "Have you forgotten the basic principle? There is no line connected by the operator from the outside, how do you connect with the WAN? Not in How can you make our computer room work on the ground floor of the building?"

He was stunned for a moment, then Alice burst out laughing, raised her head and raised her forehead: "Yes, yes, it's all because of the combination lock. Then, Leon, you can tell Sandy again, and let her follow the lock. The operator places an order. With Cisco and Microsoft as the first priority, we will lay two optical fiber dedicated lines."

Whoa, what a great handwriting!

Posak has been working at Cisco for some years. Of course, he is very clear about how network operators around the world build their networks. Optical fiber was just invented in the 1960s. Compared with the coaxial cables and twisted pair cables that are overwhelming the world at this time, its popularity is still very poor. Let other operators lay two dedicated lines, the cost...

But Cisco was about to start officially setting foot in the field of network infrastructure, wasn't it?

"Then these two lines will spread out in the CBD of Los Angeles with the Alice Building as the center." Having figured out the relevant links in an instant, Posak smiled and said: "Then Intel, and then the entire Silicon Valley will also start to expand." use fiber optic networks at scale, right?"

"Yes, that's it!" Alice nodded vigorously: "But it will take at least one to two years. From 1990 to 1991, it can be regarded as an incubation period. Routers, switches, gateways and even fiber optic interfaces Firewall, we all have to keep some stock on hand~"

Optical fiber network began to be popularized from the core of the Alice Building, and then it just happened to meet the background of the 1990s. The stock price of Cisco, the index of Nasdaq, and the whole Silicon Valley bamboo shoots that will face the spring rain, the prospects are simply not good. Wonderful!

So happy in her heart, Alice took the elevator and first returned to the 115th floor.

The structural planning of this floor is of course different. The elevator room is made just like the entrance hall in a luxury apartment, and it is outrageously concealed. After getting out of the elevator, turn around and take a few steps, what you see directly is the front entrance of the "Umbrella Capital Investment Company" that occupies the entire floor.

"Monica~"

Bypassing the empty front desk, and passing the open space where the gates will be set up, Alice hurriedly walked inside: "Where is Monica~"

A loud and crisp voice resounded through the empty office area. There was a conference room on the left, which was only used after the inauguration ceremony, and an office area on the right, which could be used when Sophie became the CFO, for example. And right in front of this large open space, um, the main entrance of the Hall of Supreme Harmony is there.

"Miss Wang, are you looking for me?" There was only a creak, and the door of the Hall of Supreme Harmony opened, and the eunuch holding a whisk, and the female secretary, who was holding a folder, hurried out.

"Hey, you've appeared." Alice smiled and walked forward: "The office building in a half-finished state makes people not speechless. Is the telephone line installed?"

Although she looks like a Victoria's Secret supermodel, Monica is not a big vase, and her work level has long been personally proved by her boss. Just like this question, her response is quick, her words are refined, and her logic level is impeccable.

"No!"

"oh!"

A question, an answer, and a response, the match is perfect!

After a moment of silence, Monica first laughed: "Who are you in a hurry to contact? The phone is on the desk."

"Oh... I'm not in a hurry, it's just that I just discovered a blank market."

I'm really not in a hurry, so Alice shrugged and changed the subject: "It's getting late now, why don't we go downstairs and have something to eat first?"
