Simon put on his clothes and came to the next study room, and Aliya also brought a file bag over.

He handed the file bag to Simon who was sitting on the single sofa in the reception area. Aliya did not sit down next to her, but knelt down on the carpet next to Simon's sofa, climbing on the handrail of the sofa with a soft body, like a cat snuggling beside the owner, and introduced: "This is a piece of information that someone asked me to recommend at home. Boss, the other party is very powerful in India, and my father can't refuse. You just need to take a look."

Simon felt Aliya's carefulness, but just smiled, not caring too much in his heart.

There are actually many similar things at home. I was born in a society of human relationships and I became accustomed to this. Simon's red line is that people around me should not hide it from him. Once they find out, he will not give any room for maneuver.

Although he is the top Brahmin in the Indian caste system, Aliya's family background is not prominent. Her father is just a law professor at the University of Delhi, India.

There weren't many things in the file bag, a letter and a beautifully bound business introduction manual, and a word on the cover of the manual caught Simon's attention slightly: Wipro.

Vipro.

In my memory, this is one of the largest software manufacturers in India. Vipro's boss Azim Premki later became the richest man in the Indian software industry and once occupied the third place on the Indian rich list.

The other envelope is indeed a handwritten letter from Azim Premki.

The entrepreneur, who is now one of the famous rich people in India, roughly introduced the reasons for the incident in his handwritten letter. The other party believed that the new year software outsourcing bid for Igrit in March did not really take into account Vipro's comprehensive strength. He hoped to get an opportunity to present it to Igrit CEO Tim Berners Lee.

Later people mentioned that a strong software industry was an indispensable topic when India was mentioned.

Actually, this is a misunderstanding.

India's software industry is not strong, the software outsourcing industry is strong. The difference is probably the gap between Apple and Foxconn. Even in many years after the new century, India's software industry is only providing the most basic software service support for major technology giants around the world, and is always at the lowest end of the industry's food chain.

However, due to the huge demand, rich and low 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.

These are actually later stories.

At this stage, the Indian software outsourcing industry is still in its early stages of development, and the services provided are also more low-end. It is often just simple data classification and content entry. In 1993, the total output value of the Indian software outsourcing industry was less than US$500 million.

In Simon's memory, the acceleration of India's software outsourcing industry is due to the 'millennial insect crisis'.

In the late 1990s, technology companies around the world provided India with millions of software outsourcing orders in order to modify the Millennium Worm vulnerabilities that existed in almost all early software. This crisis also allowed the whole world to see the advantages of India's cheap software industry labor.

The Millennium Worm Crisis is just the beginning, and the real outbreak of India's software outsourcing industry will be after 2000.

The bursting of the Internet bubble has made countless Western technology companies unable to make a big deal. In order to survive, they have to find ways to reduce costs. India, whose average employee salary is only a fraction of Silicon Valley engineers, suddenly became popular.

At this stage, Igret can be described as wealthy and powerful.

However, several core executives of Simon and Egret attach great importance to cost control. Therefore, since 1992, Egret has cooperated with many other technology companies and Indian software outsourcing manufacturers. It is mainly the portal website of Egret. Search engines and e-commerce businesses all have large-scale data classification, content entry and other basic software service needs.

This part is often just a simple task such as marking search engine websites or entering product information on Amazon websites. If you hire a professional software engineer, it will definitely not be worth the effort. Moreover, Silicon Valley cannot find so many professional talents at this stage. Lowering standards or hiring part-time jobs cannot meet the efficiency problem. Moreover, the salary cost is also not low. Choosing to outsource to India is undoubtedly the most important choice.

You should know that if this kind of job that seems simple but requires certain professional skills, if it is a local American, even if it is not in Silicon Valley, where labor costs are very expensive, a monthly salary of two or three thousand dollars will not be able to be lost. However, the annual salary of similar employees in India is less than $1,000.

Such a gap is not an exaggeration at all.

It will be clear if you compare it. China, which is adjacent to India in this era, has better economic development. The average monthly salary of Chinese workers is only 300 to 500 yuan. Even if calculated based on the annual salary of 5,000 yuan, it is less than 700 US dollars.

This labor cost advantage has made Bezos and others attach great importance to cooperation with Indian software outsourcing manufacturers from the beginning. With the continuous improvement of Internet infrastructure and the convenience of remote communication, this kind of cooperation is also constantly strengthening.

After several years of explosive growth, coupled with the current expansion of the talent gap in Silicon Valley, the total software outsourcing volume of Igrit Company in 1994 is expected to reach US$300 million. Although orders that can be handed over to Indian manufacturers for various reasons only account for 70% of the total outsourcing volume, software outsourcing orders of more than US$200 million are definitely the targets that major Indian software manufacturers with a total output value of less than US$500 million in the past year have been striving for at all costs.

After all, getting an order from Igrit Company does not represent just a huge amount of revenue, but also potential corporate visibility gains. With the label of "Igrit Company Partner" and the chance of reaching cooperation will definitely increase significantly when soliciting business from other technology companies.

Inside the study room of the Woodside Villa.

After reading Azim Premki's handwritten letter, Simon read the carefully prepared corporate introduction manual of the other party, but the thoughts in his mind began to spread.

If Aliya recommended someone else, Simon would only deal with it a little and did not intend to pay attention.

Due to limited time and energy, Simon is only responsible for controlling the general direction for Igrit and even many other companies within the Westeros system and does not interfere in specific management decisions as much as possible.

However, since he can become the richest man in the Indian software industry in the original time and space, Azim Premki can make Simon an exception.

In recent years, one of the main secrets for the rapid development and growth of the Westeros system is actually Simon's investment in "people".

Whether it is the film talents Daenerys Entertainment "cultivated in advance" based on Simon's memory, or executives such as Jeff Bezos and Raymond Smith, they are all figures in Simon's memory that once shined. To some extent, these people have proved that they have the potential to lead the company to glory. Coupled with the rich resource support and the correct development direction provided by Simon, they ultimately created everything in the Westeros system.

Azim Premki is obviously a person with similar potential.

Making up his mind, Simon's thoughts continued to deepen.

With the explosion of the Internet industry, the total gap in scientific and technological talents in Silicon Valley has reached more than 300,000 at this stage. The result of various technology companies trying every means to win talents is naturally a significant increase in the industry's salary level. Igret is currently recruiting software engineers, and the minimum annual salary starts at $50,000.

On the other hand, due to the strict immigration policy restrictions of the United States, a large number of excellent software engineers from many other countries in the world are blocked from North America.

The inability of these people to enter the United States does not mean that they cannot serve Silicon Valley. The biggest advantage of the information age is that they can bring people to the distance between communication. Moreover, since Igret has a large number of software outsourcing needs, many other technology companies that are also suffering from the talent gap in Silicon Valley should be the same.

In this case, Igrit may be able to create a dedicated software outsourcing platform to build a cooperation bridge for potential partners in Silicon Valley and around the world, which will definitely be a big business.

The most important thing is that doing so can also create a large number of job opportunities for the United States and the world.

For the current Westeros system, the more people's jobs they have, the stronger their voice will have in the face of the United States and even other governments in the world. Any politician who will lose his job due to the crackdown on Westeros system can be imagined.

In my memory, the five major FNG technology giants, Google, Facebook, and Microsoft, have all encountered large-scale antitrust investigations and huge fines in North America and Europe, but Amazon and Apple rarely encounter similar entanglements, which is not without reason.

The main reason is that Amazon and Apple control the jobs of too many people.

Take Amazon for example. The total number of employees in this e-commerce giant exceeded 500,000 at its peak, which is more than the other four of FNG's five technology giants combined. Moreover, Amazon's employees have a wide range of coverage. In addition, in addition to professional computer talents, there are also large numbers of ordinary workers who are responsible for sorting, transportation, warehousing, logistics, etc., who have low professional skills requirements.

Not only that, Amazon e-commerce has brought millions of potential job opportunities to Western countries within its own industrial chain.

It can be imagined that if North American and European authorities oppress Amazon too much, well, you say I monopolize and want to fine it, then I can only lay off employees in order to save money. Is 100,000 enough? If not enough, add 100,000 more. Moreover, once Amazon is hit, it will be more difficult to estimate the loss of job opportunities caused by the entire e-commerce field.

This is the right to speak.

Speaking of which, in recent years, Simon has been making some arrangements across the ocean. Nokia, Tincobaier and even Victoria's Secret parent company LTD have established OEMs of varying sizes in mainland China. Many of the big-selling films produced by Daenerys Entertainment have quietly entered Chinese TV platforms and theater channels in a nearly free way.

On the other hand, among many companies in the Westeros system, if Simon attaches importance to it, Daenerys Entertainment, a videotape chain giant with a shareholding ratio of only 35%, will definitely be very high.

As of the first quarter of 1994, the total number of stores in Blockbuster worldwide reached more than 5,600, exceeding the total number of Nancy's initial plan for 5,000. Due to the continued expansion of overseas markets, it will be appropriately increased to about 6,000 in the future.

Even with Simon and Nancy, who attach great importance to operational efficiency and avoid bloated employees, the total number of employees in the world has exceeded 41,000 at this stage, and the average number of employees with an average of 7.3 people per store is significantly lower than the average data of 9.1 people in the industry chain stores of the same type.

Blockbuster's more than 40,000 employees who do not have high qualifications and academic qualifications are a great say in the Westeros system.

If Egrit can build a global outsourcing platform for China Unicom, so that both professional software engineers and housewives who only want to earn some change to subsidize their household income through simple data entry and other part-time jobs in the Internet, then Egrit's company's voice will be greatly enhanced.

As long as this platform is spread out, if the federal government wants to split the company, it must consider whether the hundreds of thousands of outsourcing jobs created by Igret every year will be affected. After all, even if the authorities want to suppress this impact, Igret, who owns its own media platform, will spread the matter: Look, those politicians are messing around again.

From ancient times to the present, the people have been the most easily incited and the most easily manipulated group.

Maybe you just made them lose a sewing needle, and whenever they had the chance, they wouldn't mind losing a iron ore, even if this iron ore provided them with all the pots and pans they needed in their lives.

He noticed that although his boss was still reading the introduction manual, his expression was obviously distracted. Aliya did not disturb her. She folded her arms on the armrest and supported her chin. She raised her delicate face and looked at the man in front of her with her eyes focused on her, without any intention of interrupting her thoughts.

Of course, I also have some expectations in my heart.

If this matter is done, the family probably won't urge her to return to India in the future.

Her parents have always complained about her current job. After all, how could a noble Brahmin be a maid for others? Even if she was Simon Westero's maid, although she had always explained that she was Mrs. Westero's yoga teacher, her family knew exactly what was going on.

Aliya has no intention of giving up on this job that is now easy and high-paying and able to live in the United States.

After completing the duty work with the hostess and hostesses, they have plenty of time to freely distribute each month.

In addition to 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 has an extreme daily food and clothing. She can even travel around on a private plane of the Westeros family. Such a life will never be tired of even if she is in her life.

What's more, they don't lack room for growth. Women like Sophia Fessi, Alice Ferguson, and Claire Gain were once the same as them.

The study room was quiet for more than twenty minutes, and the sky outside the window was darkening without realizing it. During this period, Aliya quietly turned on the light and returned to the sofa. The man was still immersed in his thoughts.

Until the knock on the door sounded, Simon finally came to his senses.

With a promise, the study door was pushed open, it was Yasmin Gary.

The waist-like flesh poked in, his eyes first met Aliya, and some small sparks flashed without traces. Then he converged and looked at the man on the sofa and said, "Simon, dinner is ready."

Simon closed the introduction manual that had been read twice without realizing it, and said, "I'll come right away."

Yasmin nodded, looked at Aliya again, then gently closed the door and left.

Simon noticed the little eyes of the waist sperm this time. Thinking about the origins of the two women, he probably understood something. Even if Yasmin is already Canadian, the natural opposition between Indians and Pakistanis will not be eliminated. Just like the Japanese and Chinese in the West, even if they are already foreigners, they will not get along well.

Simon will not care about kittens fighting between women as long as he is unhappy with his face.

Looking at Aliya next to her, Simon reached out to catch the girl's delicate face and rubbed it, saying, "Azim should be in San Francisco, right?"

Aliya nodded, pretended to be dissatisfied and opened her mouth and bit the man's index finger to grind her white teeth, and then quickly let go.

Simon said: "After dinner, I will call Jeff and ask him to take time to talk to Azim. Forget Tim, he is only responsible for Egret's technical research and development department now, and Jeff and Carol are responsible for the management."

Of course, Aliya also knew who Simon said about Tim, Jeff and Carol were both. She gratified and put her face on the man's palm: "Boss, thank you."

I felt a little worried about calling 'Simon' in my heart, just like the woman just now.

But I didn't dare.

Simon nodded, took back his hand and put Azim's handwritten letter and Vipro's business introduction manual into the file bag, intending to hand it over to Bezos. When he remembered something, he asked Aliya with a smile: "Have Azim benefited you?"

Aliya shook her head quickly: "No, no."

Simon said: "This is not possible. You have helped him so much, of course you have to benefit."

Aliya realized that Simon was not teasing her, so she hesitated for a while and confessed: "The other party promised my father to be their company's legal counsel."

"That's right," Simon knocked on the girl's forehead gently, stood up from the sofa, and said, "But, this kind of thing cannot be addictive, otherwise I will be angry."
