Li Changsheng also told Aunt Mei that they should pay close attention to a couple.
They are the director of the computer center of Stanford University and his wife.
Because in my impression, this couple opened up the Internet-connected devices in the Internet era.
They invented the multi-protocol router to bring together the incompatible computer local area networks on campus to form a unified network.
They created a company, which will become the famous Cisco in the future.
Li Changsheng wanted to give the company enough investment when the company was just established and urgently needed investment, and try to control their controlling stake!
In the original time and space, when Internet companies in China 257 were developing, mainland consortiums, including those state-owned consortiums, lacked vision and could not see the future value of companies such as Penguin and Alibaba, and they were preempted by islanders and South Africans. machine!
Li Changsheng will try to avoid such things from happening in this time and space, and he will in turn seize these future technology giants in the United States!
Among them is Cisco.
Originally, Li Changsheng lacked understanding of this company, so he introduced the system: "It turns out that in December 1984, Cisco Systems was established in the United States.
The founders are a couple of teachers at Stanford University: Leonard Posak, Director of the Computer Center of the Department of Computer Science (adbj) and Santilerner, Director of the Computer Center of the Business School. The couple designed a "multi-protocol router" The networking equipment used in the Stanford campus network integrates incompatible computer local area networks on campus, creating a raw network.
This connected device is considered a sign that the connected age has truly arrived. John Chambers joined Cisco in 1991. In 1996, Chambers was in charge of Cisco. It was Chambers who turned Cisco into a dynasty.
For Cisco, it is facing a $200 billion network equipment market. His business scope covers almost every part of network construction: the routers, switches and other network equipment markets that make up the Internet and data transmission are almost all controlled by Cisco. Since the network information doubles every four months, it needs newer and faster network transmission equipment support, which means that Cisco's market is still expanding, making Cisco's market the most popular and fastest growing company .
To describe the rapid development of the network is one day in the world, and the Internet has been around for thousands of years. As an equipment supplier, it is necessary to master high-tech and innovate continuously. The best way is to spend money to buy. He believes that the most ideal way is to buy a new company that is developing a new product. It can launch an outstanding new product in the next 6 to 12 months, and then quickly push it to the market through Cisco's existing distribution channels. In 1996, Cisco became the leader in the network switch market through this method.
Today, Cisco Systems has become a recognized leading manufacturer of global network interconnection solutions. The solutions it provides are the basis for thousands of companies, universities, enterprises and government departments all over the world to establish the Internet. Users cover telecommunications, finance, and services. , retail and other industries as well as government departments and educational institutions. At the same time, Cisco Systems is also the backbone of the establishment of the network, nearly 80% of the information flow on the Internet is transmitted through the products of Cisco Systems. Cisco has become the undisputed leader in networking. Cisco Systems has more than 35,000 employees worldwide, and its turnover in 2004 exceeded US$22 billion. "
It’s just that the turnover in 2004 was so high, one can imagine how high it will be in 2014, and how much money it will make in the next 30 years, at least 100 billion . dollars!.
