Simon dressed and went to the study next door. Aliya also brought a file bag.
She handed the file bag to Simon, who was sitting on the sofa alone in the reception area. Instead of sitting down beside him, aliya knelt down on the carpet beside Simon's sofa. Her soft body climbed up the armrest of the sofa, like a cat nestling next to the owner, and said, "this is a piece of information that someone asked me to help introduce. Boss, the other party has a great influence in India, my father I can't refuse. You just have a look. "
Simon felt aliya's care and just laughed. He didn't mind too much.
In fact, there are many similar things in my family. I was born in a human society, and I'm used to it. Simon's red line is that people around him should not hide from him. Once found out, he won't give him any leeway.
Although she is the top Brahman in India's caste system, aliya's family background is not prominent. Her father is only a law professor at Delhi University in India.
There are not many things in the portfolio, a letter and a beautifully bound Business Introduction Manual. A word on the cover of the manual slightly attracted Simon's attention: Wipro.
Wipro.
In my memory, this is one of the largest software manufacturers in India. Azim premki, the boss of Wipro, was later the richest man in the software industry in India, and once occupied the third place in India's rich list.
The other envelope was a letter from azim premki.
The entrepreneur, who is now one of India's famous tycoons, gave a brief introduction to the cause in his personal letter. The other party thought that the new year's software outsourcing bidding of igritte in March did not really consider Wipro's comprehensive strength. He hoped to get a presentation opportunity to Tim Berners Lee, CEO of igritte.
Later people mentioned India, a strong software industry is an indispensable topic.
In fact, this is a misunderstanding.
India's software industry is not strong, but the software outsourcing industry is strong. The difference is probably the gap between apple and Foxconn. Even many years after the new century, India's software industry is only providing the most basic software service support for the world's major technology giants, and has always been at the lowest end of the industry's food chain.
However, because of the huge demand, abundant and cheap human resources, and the greatest convenience of English as the official language, the export volume of India's software outsourcing industry at its peak was close to 80% of India's total export volume, and the total output value once reached the level of 100 billion US dollars.
In fact, these are all afterwords.
At the present stage, India's software outsourcing industry is still in the initial stage of development, and the services provided are also more low-end, often just simple data classification and content entry. In 1993, the total output value of India's software outsourcing industry was less than 500 million US dollars.
Simon remembers that the acceleration of India's software outsourcing industry benefited from the "Millennium Bug crisis".
At the end of 1990s, technology companies around the world provided millions of software outsourcing orders for India in order to modify the Millennium Bug loopholes in almost all early software. This crisis also made the whole world see the advantage of India's cheap software industry labor force.
The Millennium Bug crisis is just the beginning. The real outbreak of Indian software outsourcing industry is after 2000. The collapse of the
Internet bubble has made countless Western technology companies unable to wasteful. In order to survive, they have to find ways to reduce costs. The average salary of employees is only equivalent to that of Silicon Valley engineers, and India suddenly became popular.
At the present stage, igritte can also be described as rich and ambitious.
However, both Simon and several core executives of igrit attach great importance to cost control. Therefore, since 1992, igrit has been leading many other technology companies to cooperate with Indian software outsourcing manufacturers, mainly in the portal website, search engine, e-commerce and other businesses of igrit Content entry and other basic software service requirements.
This part is often just a simple job, such as tagging the search engine website or inputting the product information of Amazon website. If you hire professional software engineers, it will definitely not be worth the loss. Moreover, Silicon Valley can not find so many professionals at this stage. Reducing the standard or hiring part-time jobs can not meet the efficiency problem, and the salary cost is not low, so it is necessary to choose Outsourcing to India is undoubtedly the most important choice.
You know, this kind of seemingly simple job requires certain professional skills. If it's in the United States, even if it's not in Silicon Valley, where the labor cost is very expensive, the monthly salary of two or three thousand dollars can't run, while in India, the annual salary of the same type of employees is less than 1000 dollars.
Such a gap is not exaggerated at all.
By comparison, it is clear that China, which is adjacent to India in this era, has a better economic development. The average monthly salary of Chinese wage earners is only 300-500 RMB, even if calculated according to 5000 RMB annual salary, it is less than 700 US dollars.
This advantage of human cost makes Bezos and others attach great importance to the cooperation with Indian software outsourcing manufacturers from the very beginning. With the continuous improvement of Internet infrastructure and more convenient remote communication, this cooperation is also strengthening.After several years of explosive growth, coupled with the expanding talent gap in Silicon Valley, igritte's total software outsourcing volume in 1994 is expected to reach 300 million US dollars. Although the orders that can be delivered to Indian manufacturers account for only 70% of the total outsourcing volume for all reasons, the total output value of more than 200 million US dollars of software outsourcing orders in the past year is less than 500 million US dollars India's major software manufacturers, with a total of US $100 million, are fighting for the target at all costs.
After all, getting an order from igritte represents not only a huge amount of revenue, but also a potential gain in corporate popularity. With the label of "partner of igritte company", when soliciting business from other technology companies, the probability of reaching cooperation will definitely increase significantly.
In the study of Woodside villa.
Simon read azim premki's letter, while reading the other side's carefully prepared Business Introduction Manual, his mind began to spread.
If aliya introduced someone else, Simon would only deal with it a little and didn't intend to pay any attention.
Because of the limited time and energy, Simon is only responsible for controlling the general direction of igritte and many other companies within the westero system, and does not interfere in specific management decisions as much as possible.
However, since he can be the richest man in India's software industry in the original time and space, azim premki can make Simon an exception.
Over the years, one of the main secrets of the rapid development of the westero system is Simon's investment in people.
Whether it's the movie talents that danelis entertainment "trained" in advance according to Simon's memory, or the executives of westero system such as Jeff Bezos and Raymond Smith, they are all the people who once shine brilliantly in Simon's memory. To a certain extent, these people have proved that they have the potential to lead the enterprise to glory. Coupled with Simon's rich resource support and the right direction of development, they finally created everything in the westero system.
Azim premki, obviously, has similar potential.
Making up his mind, Simon went on.
With the outbreak of the Internet industry, the total gap of science and technology talents in Silicon Valley has reached more than 300000 at this stage. The result of various science and technology companies trying to strive for talents is naturally a substantial increase in the industry's salary level. Igrit is currently recruiting software engineers with a minimum annual salary of $50000.
On the other hand, because of the strict immigration policy of the United States, a large number of excellent software engineers from many other countries in the world are kept out of North America.
The fact that these people can't enter the United States doesn't mean that they can't serve Silicon Valley. The biggest advantage of the information age is that they can pull in the distance between people in terms of communication. Moreover, since igritte has a large demand for software outsourcing, so should many other technology companies suffering from the talent shortage in Silicon Valley.
In this case, igrit may be able to create a specialized software outsourcing platform to build a cooperation bridge between Silicon Valley and potential partners around the world, which will definitely be a big business.
Most importantly, it can also create a huge number of jobs for the United States and the world.
As far as the current westero system is concerned, the more people have jobs, the more powerful the voice will be in the face of the United States and other governments in the world. If any politician loses his job to tens of thousands of the public because of cracking down on the westero system, his fate can be imagined.
In my memory, the five big technology giants of faang, Google, Facebook and Microsoft, have all encountered large-scale anti-monopoly investigations and huge fines in North America and Europe, while Amazon and apple rarely encounter similar entanglements, which is not without reasons.
The main reason is that Amazon and apple hold too many jobs.
Take Amazon for example, the total number of employees of this e-commerce giant at its peak exceeded 500000, which is more than the total number of the other four of faang's five technology giants. Moreover, Amazon's employees cover a wide range of levels. In addition to professional computer talents, there are also a large number of ordinary enterprises responsible for sorting, transportation, warehousing, logistics, etc., which do not require high professional skills worker.
Moreover, Amazon's e-commerce has brought millions of potential job opportunities to western countries within its own industrial chain.
As you can imagine, if the North American and European authorities put too much pressure on Amazon, well, you say that I monopolize and want to be fined, then in order to save money, I can only lay off 100000 people. If 100000 people are not enough, it is not enough to add 100000. Moreover, once Amazon is hit, it is not only the company itself, but also the loss of peripheral jobs caused by the whole e-commerce field to measure.
This is the right to speak.
In recent years, Simon has been making some layout on the other side of the ocean. Nokia, tincobail and even the parent company of Weimi, Ltd, have established OEM factories of different scales in the mainland of China. Many of the best-selling films produced by danelis entertainment have quietly entered China's TV platforms and cinema channels in the form of almost free gifts.
On the other hand, among many enterprises in the westero system, if ranked according to Simon's importance, blockbuster, a video chain giant with only 35% stake in danielis entertainment, will definitely be very high.By the first quarter of 1994, blockbuster had more than 5600 stores worldwide, exceeding Nancy's original planned total of 5000. Due to the continuous expansion of overseas markets, it will appropriately increase to about 6000 in the future.
Even Simon and Nancy, who attach great importance to operational efficiency and try their best to avoid overstaffed staff, are closely watching. At present, blockbuster has more than 41000 employees in the world, with an average of 7.3 employees in each store, which is significantly lower than the average of 9.1 employees in the same type of chain stores in the industry.
The more than 40000 employees of blockbuster who do not have high requirements for qualifications and education are a great voice for the westero system.
If igritte can build an outsourcing platform connecting the world, so that both professional software engineers and housewives who only want to earn some small change through simple data entry and other Internet part-time jobs can find jobs in it, then the voice of igritte will be greatly enhanced.
As long as this platform is developed, if the federal government wants to split igritt, it must consider whether the hundreds of thousands of outsourcing jobs created by igritt every year will be affected. After all, even if the authorities want to suppress this influence, igrit, who has his own portal media platform, will make it public: look, those politicians are screwing up again.
From ancient times to the present, the common people are the most easily incited and manipulated people.
Maybe you just let them lose a sewing needle, as long as there is a chance, they don't mind letting you lose an iron ore, even if the iron ore provides them with all the pots and pans they need in life.
She noticed that although her boss was still reading the introduction manual, her expression was obviously distracted. Aliya didn't disturb her. She folded her arms on the armrest, supported her chin, raised her delicate face, and looked at the man in front of her, without interrupting his thoughts.
Of course, there are some expectations in my heart.
If this is done, the family will probably not urge her to go back to India.
Her parents have always complained about her present job. After all, how can a noble Brahman be a maid to others? Even if she is Simon westrow's maid, although she has always explained that she is Mrs. westrow's yoga teacher, her family knows exactly.
Aliya is not going to give up her job, which is easy, well paid and can live in the United States.
After finishing their duties around the hostess and hostess, they have a lot of time at their disposal every month.
Apart from being unable to fall in love, aliya feels that her life is really similar to that of a princess. She lives in the most luxurious apartment, has a private driver, and can eat and wear extremely. She can even travel around in the private plane of the Westeros family. She will never be tired of such a life even for a lifetime.
What's more, they don't lack the space to rise. Sophia faessy, Alice Ferguson, Claire Gaines and other women used to be the same.
The study was quiet for more than 20 minutes. It was dark outside the window. During this period, aliya quietly turned on the light and went back to the sofa. The men were still immersed in their own thoughts.
Simon finally came to his senses when there was a knock at the door.
Yes, the door of the study was pushed open. It was Yasmin Garry.
Waist essence probe in, eyes first and aliya to next, flash some small sparks without trace, then convergence, looking at the man on the sofa said: "Simon, dinner is ready."
Simon closed the brochure, which he had flipped twice before he knew it, and said, "I'll be right there."
Yasmin nodded and looked at aliya again. Then she closed the door and left.
Simon noticed the little eyes of the waist sperm this time. He thought about the origin of the two girls and understood something. Even if Yasmin was already Canadian, the natural antagonism between Indian and Pakistani Americans would not disappear, just like the Japanese and Chinese Americans in the west, even if they were already foreigners, they would not get along well.
As long as you don't scratch your face, Simon won't take care of the cat fight between women.
Looking at aliya, Simon reached over and grabbed the girl's delicate face, rubbed it and said, "azim should be in San Francisco, right?"
Aliya nodded, pretended to be discontented, opened her mouth, bit a man's index finger, grinded her little white teeth, and soon let go.
Simon said: "I'll call Jeff after dinner and ask him to talk to azim. Tim doesn't care. He's only in charge of igritte's technology R & D department, and Jeff and Carol are in charge of management. "
Aliya, of course, knew who Simon said Tim, Jeff and Carol were. She gratefully put her face on the palm of the man's hand and said, "thank you, boss."
I want to say "Simon" in my heart, just like the woman just now.
But I didn't dare.
Simon nodded, took back his hand, put azim's personal letter and Wipro's business introduction manual into the file bag again, and intended to be handed over to Bezos. Thinking of something, he asked aliya with a smile, "has azim done you any good?"Aliya quickly shook her head: "no, No."
Simon said, "that's not good. You have to be good for helping him so much."
Aliya realized that Simon was not teasing herself. She hesitated a little and said frankly, "the other Party promised my father to be their company's legal adviser."
"That's right," Simon said, gently knocking on the girl's head, rising from the sofa. "But this kind of thing can't be addictive, or I'll be angry."
Aliya also stood up and seriously promised to follow Simon downstairs.
