The Goddess Shines on America

What will happen in the future, no one but Alice can really know. However, everyone knows that routers will have a huge impact on the development of the Internet. Because of this, peers in Silicon Valley, even the United States, and even around the world will surely spring up like mushrooms.

So at this moment, except for her, no one knows how far Cisco will develop.

At the same time, although she was not a wise businessman in her previous life, Alice is also very clear about the principles of doing business.

The key to success in business is not how talented the entrepreneur is, but that someone is willing to help you and work with you. When a successful businessman cooperates with others, he must give priority to the interests of the other party. If the other party is not beneficial, he will also become unprofitable. Only when you are willing to give up profits, let the other party get enough benefits, and don't care about your own interests, and don't get entangled in small profits, can you obtain real benefits.

"The company should be registered in San Francisco. Santee makes a lot of sense. Compared with Los Angeles, the advantages of building a company near Silicon Valley are indeed greater."

Therefore, after the mother first made a gesture of bargaining, Alice made a statement, and as expected, both the Bosacks showed satisfied smiles.

"So you two, since you have decided on the location of the company, should I come up with the name of the company?"

When Alice uttered these words, the smile on her face was so bright that she definitely showed her five-star sweetness teeth!

Yes, the company's registered address can change at any time, and Microsoft and Apple are all companies that have moved. But the naming rights, Alice will never miss this honor!

Posak nodded and said: "Of course, no problem. Although Santi and I have good skills in terms of technology, we can't do anything about naming the company. I'm not afraid of your jokes. I know I'm hesitating now. Wait for me After I have a baby with Sandy, what should I name him?"

Everyone at the table burst into laughter. Sandy slapped her husband cheerfully, and then said to Alice: "Alice, your father is a teacher of history. There are so many famous historical figures and places. Don't let me Disappointed."

Now that he was mentioned, James also said: "I really want to hear, Weiwei, what name do you plan to name the new company?

Oscar and Hannah stared at her sister without blinking, and Sophie smiled proudly.

"This is easy."

Alice blinked and blurted out, "Cisco Systems, what do you think of the name?"

The answer came so suddenly that no one expected that Alice could give the answer without thinking. Facing her bright smile with all her teeth bared, all the people at the table looked at each other, and there was silence for a moment.

After a while, Oscar still spoke.

"Cisco? Is it San Francisco's cisco?"

Alice flashed her big eyes with long eyelashes at him, looking so innocent: "That's right, since we decided to register the company address in San Francisco, why not just intercept the second half of its word? How easy it is! "

"... How casual is it!? Old lady, is it really okay for you to speak so thoughtlessly!? Registered in San Francisco, it's called Cisco, so it's called registered in Los Angeles!? Angela Systems!? Angel Systems! ? Then you can register directly with the Vatican!? It’s called the Vatican or the Christian System Corporation!?”

"Well... indeed, XXSystems Incorporated is versatile. If we set up a Terminator System Company, a Skynet System Company, or an Umbrella System Company in the future, it will be full of connotations~"

"Alice!?"

"Thanks, buddy, you've been such an inspiration to me!"

"Alice! I'm serious. Everyone has left the decision to you. Is it really okay to call Cisco!?"

Cisco Systems, which is well-known in the future, how could such a famous name make Oscar shout back in a few voices. Alice looked around, and the situation was fine. Although Sophie, James, and Hannah were all laughing non-stop, they obviously had no intention of objecting to her.

What is even more comforting to Alice is that the Bosacks are still frowning, savoring the name carefully!

"Actually, Alice, you really wanted to go with me."

However, Posak suddenly said: "Actually, I also thought about it. If it were me, I would just use 'San Francisco' as the name of the new company."

As soon as these words came out, the audience fell silent again.

To be exact, it was Oscar who was yelling and choking suddenly.

"you sure?"

Seeing Bosac nodding with a sneer, Oscar's face instantly turned green.

Sitting obediently beside her mother, Hannah gracefully held a champagne glass, and the almost transparent liquid inside was pear juice: "Wow, Uncle Leon, you are really good at naming names!"

Alice rubbed her forehead vigorously, and thanked herself for being clean, so she didn't rub off any mud rolls.

The name Cisco is indeed derived from the word San Francisco. Yes, this is the name determined by the Bosacks themselves in the normal historical track.

Alice didn't investigate too carefully in her previous life, but she lives in the United States in this life. Thanks to her mother who has a doctorate in law, she still has a good understanding of relevant legal provisions.

The U.S. authorities have literally stated that it is not allowed to use the name of a city as a company name.

Um, so Cisco Systems, is it really close to becoming "San Francisco Systems"?

"The technology of this router belongs to Alice, so after the company is established, it will definitely hand over some technology shares to us."

After solving the naming problem, Sophie continued: "There is no doubt that Cisco is a technology-oriented company, so the proportion of technology stocks must be very high. How about setting it at 70%?"

The Bosacks were not surprised at all when they raised the quota to the upper limit. The husband remained silent, and when Sophie finished speaking, Santi spoke without hesitation.

"This ratio is somewhat high. Although it is true that Alice invented the router, Leonardo and I are also technicians. Besides, Alice is still young, and the company is not in Los Angeles. There is no way to get too involved in product upgrades. This product alone accounts for more than half of the market share, which is a bit unacceptable.”

The bargaining session started without any suspense. Sophie didn't speak immediately. Alice smiled and said, "Anyone who understands the stock market knows that there is a type of stocks called potential stocks, Santi, and Leon. Don't you think , Am I a typical potential stock?"

One sentence made the whole table chuckle again, and Alice went on to say, "I'm not joking, you guys, I'm still young, but isn't this router created by me under this premise? You know Santee, I'm not an Ivy League student, just a normal elementary school girl."

"In this way, I can now take a step ahead of Yige and develop a fully practical router. Then give me a period of time? And you must know that the shareholding changes are particularly frequent during the initial period of the company. Now it is a certain shareholding. , does not mean that it will remain unchanged in the future.”

"I account for 70%, and then Leon and you each account for 15%. When new employees are eligible to receive stock options, we can reduce our shares proportionately. After all, the development of the company is a continuous process. , The addition of talents in the later stage will definitely cause changes in equity, we expect to spend so much talk on the initial share, it is better to focus on product research.”

"So, the topic is back again. As a company that develops routers and even more types of network hardware in the future, it is definitely technology-oriented. Since it is technology-oriented, as the inventor of technology, there are currently only three people Under the premise that I account for 70% is not an exaggeration."

"Oh, of course. Obviously, your husband and wife plan to invite Mr. Ige into the company, so the position of technical director may not be able to escape. After all, he has researched the prototype of the router. Well, at this point..."

Alice stopped talking, and looked at Sandy with a half-smile.

That's right, you and your husband are indeed teachers of the Department of Computer Science, no doubt they are senior engineers, but that's the way it is.

If Alice hadn't intervened, when the Bosacks established Cisco at the end of this year according to history, they would indeed have the technology in their hands. But even then, this technology was actually developed with school resources, such as with the help of that Iger.

Why else, when Cisco was first established, did Stanford give them so much trouble?

But now, the couple actually don't have much capital to negotiate with Alice.

In addition, in the long speech just now, Alice deliberately used inductive language to confuse a concept.

Transfer the debate about what percentage of shares you should own to the topic of giving shares to new members, and then to the conclusion that every old member should reduce their share proportion proportionally.

It's not that her 70% should be reduced, but that the ratio of the big guy should be reduced proportionally.

"Alice is right, Sandy."

When this eloquent long speech came to an end, Bosac was obviously in a state of being overwhelmed, and said softly to his wife: "We..."

"And what about corporate funds?"

Interrupting Bosac's words, Santi raised his chest high, and his tone was even higher: "Since Alice intends to invest in technology, then Leon and I belong to capital investment, right? As long as we give enough money, every It’s not impossible for individuals to own 20%, or even 30% of the shares, right?”

"sure."

Alice blinked her eyes relaxedly: "Then how much registration capital can you provide?"
