The Goddess Shines on America

When job seekers are applying for a job, they pay extra attention to the size of the company, because apart from salary levels, reputation and office environment, the personal growth of employees is also closely related to this.

Many large-scale enterprises have talent training plans or perfect employee promotion channels, because they have a deep understanding of the importance of talents and will spare no effort to keep all capable people in the company.

Among them, stock options are the most typical way to firmly tie company executives or senior technical personnel. Its measure is to allow employees to buy company stocks at the company's internal price instead of the market price on the exchange, so as to become a small shareholder of the company. As for a series of top managers such as CEO, CFO, and COO, they will even directly donate shares.

Therefore, when Alice proposed to buy shares in Microsoft with technology, Gates and his team agreed without hesitation. For them who have been in the business for nearly ten years, they knew that Alice What is Si's idea?

The only, most important, and almost eternal question is the shareholding ratio.

"The important thing to look at here is the long-term benefits my daughter can bring to the company, that is, her personal development potential."

Facing all the men in the room, Sophie said loudly: "Her age is obviously the biggest advantage. She is only twelve years old now, but she can be alone, and the speed is many times faster than that of more than fifty of you combined." The efficiency of this operating system has been developed. In other words, her ability alone is three or four times that of all of you in the company. Compared with this, I believe you have no big objections, right?"

"To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that Microsoft is already a large platform with a good scale, we could be independent. Mr. Gates and Mr. Allen, please imagine that if our family, Alice, established a company by herself, with her talent, what would happen? How much impact does it have on Microsoft?"

"So, I don't think the 40% share allocation is an exaggeration, considering that you are the elders of the company. After all, she alone can top all of your employees, can't she?"

It's an exaggerated proposal. After all, the company is not on the verge of bankruptcy. It is not an easy decision to force everyone to squeeze out nearly half of the shares and give them to a stranger who has no friendship at all. But no one at the scene was angry with Sophie's request, because this was only a link of unilaterally making personal requests, and bargaining was always the focus.

"On the surface, it is indeed so, Ms. Wang."

Ballmer looked at Alice's mother and daughter with a smile, but the sparkle in those eyes meant that he was not so easy to be fooled: "However, if you only rely on handing over this work, you want to get so high Of course, I am not doubting Alice's talent, nor bullying her for having no roots in Microsoft, but she is a newcomer in the entire computer industry after all, right? Although this system Really good, but…”

Ballmer paused for a while, and that's all for now, Gates immediately interjected: "Alice, about the content you left in that trial version, that Cisco Systems company, you established it?"

For a total of about ten days, people from Microsoft have already conducted an investigation on the "Cisco Systems" mentioned in Alice's letter, but the industry seems to have no information about it at all. As for the company yellow pages, the entire United States is so big, where do they go to check the records of each city?

Therefore, everyone is naturally more curious about it, even though it is just a text document stored in a computer with no legal value at all, a small document written by a girl's random pen, and a document full of secondary illnesses English strings of terminally ill confessions.

"A company in the computer industry whose main business is the production of network hardware equipment."

Alice took the answer, and said with a smile: "I'm working hard to prepare for development, and I invented the products. As for the effect, everyone has used my operating system, and my programming ability is not necessary." Doubt?"

Although everyone present is a pioneer in the application software industry, how could they not be interested in the term Internet hardware? Under Gates' immediately excited proposal, in the next 20 minutes, Alice explained the knowledge about routers and network protocols to everyone.

"Now that the entire computer industry is booming, major telecom operators are also laying cables frantically across the country, and even IBM is involved. Therefore, the development potential of the Internet hardware field is beyond doubt. Almost every enterprise within the scope will need to use the network, of course there are government agencies and public facilities, and even when PCs are gradually popularized in thousands of households, the development of home networks will generate new stimulation for this industry.”

Alice explained to Gates the development trend of the global Internet to her heart's content, but she was not afraid that Microsoft would steal her business, because she knew very well the main tactics of Cisco becoming the hegemon in this field. Looking at the entire Microsoft company, there are some engineers in the field of software technology. If you want them to switch to network communication technology, the cost performance is too low.

"So, the combination of potential and talent is the biggest weight for me to negotiate with you today. Now is the golden age of the computer industry. As the pioneers who rose in the 1970s, you can at least The advantage lasted until the 1990s. And now the 80s is the embryonic stage of the Internet industry. I am now a pioneer in this field, and in terms of ability, this operating system can already prove everything... just Like Picasso exhibiting "Guernica", the ability needs no explanation."

"40%, this share is really not an exaggeration. After all..."

Speaking of which, Alice gave a wicked smile: "Although I'm just guessing, you know better than me what your progress is. Now that so many competing companies are developing new systems, I can save you almost a hundred dollars." Years. Well, Bill, can I have a year?"

After finishing speaking, she smiled wickedly and kicked the ball to Gates.

After a long silence, Gates sighed slowly.

Who is the other party, who can understand Microsoft's current situation so thoroughly just by relying on external information?

Enterprise development, of course, must do everything within the legal scope. Therefore, as early as last summer at the Las Vegas Computer Expo, Gates publicized that Windows 1.0 would be available this spring, but in fact, the company This product is not being developed at all at the moment.

So busy until now, the progress is only a small part completed. Just a few days before Alice's tape was sent, Gates made a progress calculation for himself. As a result, he clearly found that it would be difficult to release the product before the beginning of next year. And when it is launched to the market, it really has to wait until around the end of 1985.

He is still wondering how Alice came to this conclusion. After all, he already knows that the other party is an ordinary girl in Los Angeles, not a senior industry insider who commutes to and from Silicon Valley every day, and he has never set foot in it. Albuquerque land.

In this way, after another round of discussions and discussions, when the twilight had fallen, Alice's profit distribution was finally announced.

First of all, 35% of technology shares, although this value is a little less than Sophie's proposal, but it is completely within the acceptable range of Alice. After all, she is very clear about the future development of Microsoft. Although the 5% ratio will have a difference of nearly tens of billions of dollars...they are all tens of billions of dollars. Who cares whether they are ranked third or fourth?

What's more, she still has Cisco, and she already has Cisco.

What's more, it's not impossible to adjust this ratio at all, for example, when she throws out the 98 and XP systems...

Then there is still the old problem, because Alice is too young, and she still has to go to school—middle school, seventh grade middle school, a level that makes all Microsoft executives at a loss for what to say—so of course it is impossible to hold any position in the company. duty.

Therefore, the position of chief software designer still belongs to Gates and has not been taken away.

It seems a pity, but as long as the real ability is in hand, does it really matter who owns the title?

Before leaving the company, Gates saw off Alice's family in person. When they walked out of the gate, Alice said loudly: "Mom, you go to the car first and then look at the contract. Bill and I will have a chat."

Sophie glanced between the two of them, and smiled lightly: "Aren't you planning to go to another fast food restaurant suddenly?"

Oscar and Hannah immediately made quite cooperative gag noises before being abducted into the car under James' elbow.

"Hehe, you two younger siblings are really interesting."

Seeing Hannah making funny faces at himself before getting into the car, Gates chuckled a few times.

Then, he immediately frowned and looked at the girl beside him: "Then, Alice..."

"In short, keep it secret. You have performed well in front of the media these two days. Keep going."

Alice patted Gates on the shoulder. Around the two of them, there was no one else at the door of the office building.

Facing Gates, he smiled happily, but his azure blue eyes had already turned black, and there were star-like rays of light constantly shining on them.

"Otherwise, be careful that I will pinch you into twists, Bill~"

Staring blankly at Alice's eyes, Gates swallowed hard.

"Okay, yes, no problem, obey!"

The collection is over 1000, well, it's worth complaining about.

The recommended position is changed once a week every Sunday afternoon. According to the performance of the week, a text message will be sent on Friday afternoon to inform whether there is a new recommendation on the weekend.

60,000 words and 300 collections were the first recommendation to test the waters. From Sunday afternoon to Friday afternoon, the collection was 500. The results were not satisfactory, so there were no new recommendations and no notifications.

Then, from Friday night to Sunday, it's 700, and then streaking until Thursday... 900.

All you have to do is smile...

Therefore, the notice on Friday is strong on weekends.

Well, then it's full 1000 on Saturday night.

Just smile at this time... By Ikari Shinji
