Reborn in America: Starting as a California Resident

The following morning, when Henry, accompanied by Alexander, stepped back into the long-unseen Dream Software Company, familiar faces gathered around him, their expressions a mixture of surprise and astonishment.

Their words were a mix of jokes and genuine emotion, as if they were welcoming this mysterious young boss in this way: "Boss, long time no see, you've gotten even more handsome!"

"Boss, you've finally returned to the American Dream!"

"We almost thought you'd abandoned us!"

.......

Henry smiled and looked around, the scene before him giving him a sense of being in another world.

Everything here seems unchanged, yet everything also seems to have changed.

The desks were still neatly arranged, and the black-and-white photo that marked the company's early days was still hanging on the wall, but the people's clothing style, demeanor, and other aspects revealed a completely different atmosphere.

Everyone's faces radiated confidence and energy, a stark contrast to just a few months ago.

Back then, everyone was striving for vague and unattainable dreams, but now, their eyes hold a greater sense of composure and anticipation.

Henry clapped his hands gently, gradually calming the surrounding noise.

"Thank you all for your warm welcome."

His voice was warm and strong: "During my absence, I know that everyone worked very hard to keep 'Dream' Software Company moving forward."

Now I'm back, and I hope we can continue to create more miracles.

"Technology changes the world, dreams create the future!"

"Technology changes the world, dreams create the future!"

......

A round of applause and cheers erupted from the crowd.

They began to cheer together, chanting the company slogan of Dream Software.

The sounds rose and fell, echoing throughout the twelfth floor of the Humphreys Building.

"Alright, everyone,"

Henry smiled and said, "Now let's get back to our posts and continue our unfinished tasks."

Tonight I'll treat everyone to a big meal to celebrate our reunion.

"Wow!!!"

As Henry finished speaking, the atmosphere in the office became even more lively.

The employees clapped and dispersed, returning to their workstations.

Alexander watched all this with a satisfied smile on his face.

He walked over to Henry and said softly, "Boss, it's so good to have you back."

Since you left, although we've kept the company running, it always feels like something's missing.

Henry nodded, his gaze sweeping over each busy figure.

"I see.

However, judging from the current atmosphere, you've done a great job, Alexander.

You and the others have made this place even better than before.

Alexander smiled modestly: "It's all thanks to everyone's hard work."

Now, please allow me to report to you on the sales situation for the past month.

After the two entered Henry's private office one after the other, Alexander opened a folder that had been prepared in advance and began to give a detailed report on the sales performance of Dream Software Company over the past month.

"Boss, first of all, I want to say that our two flagship products—the spreadsheet program Spreadsheet Wizard and the word processing program WordMaster—have performed exceptionally well over the past month."

Alexander opened a page in the folder, which was filled with detailed figures and charts. He cleared his throat and began to give a detailed account of the sales performance of the two flagship products.

"Spreadsheet Wizard achieved record sales last month."

We sold a total of over 61,000 disk copies, an increase of approximately 340% compared to the previous month.

This is mainly thanks to the fact that several major American microcomputer manufacturers have pre-installed our software disks.

In addition, the newly launched European version has also achieved very good sales results.

Our localization efforts for the European market have all been well-received by consumers.

Henry nodded in approval after hearing this, expressing his appreciation for the achievement.

"It seems our strategic plan has yielded good results!"

He then moved on to the next topic, "So what about WordMaster?"

Alexander continued, "WordMaster, our word processing program, has also made significant progress."

Last month we sold approximately 55,000 disk copies, an increase of about 280% from the previous month.

In addition to pre-installation partnerships, we have also strengthened our marketing efforts, particularly in the commercial sector, where we have signed bulk purchase agreements with several companies.

At the same time, we've also introduced some new features, such as improved printing support, further enhancing the product's competitiveness.

Henry thought for a moment and asked, "So what's the feedback from our users?"

Have you received any specific suggestions or comments?

Alexander replied, "The overall user feedback has been very positive."

They praised the performance and ease of use of our software.

Of course, there were also some specific suggestions for improvement. For example, they hoped that we would add more template options to the Spreadsheet Wizard so that it would be easier to create various types of tables.

They also hope that WordMaster can improve its text formatting options and provide richer typesetting features.

Henry listened carefully to the user feedback and told Alexander, "This feedback is very important; it directly relates to the user experience and satisfaction of our product."

We need to incorporate these improvements into our product update plan as soon as possible.

Alexander nodded in agreement and added, "In addition, we have received some suggestions from the education sector, who hope that our software can add some teaching-oriented features, such as creating interactive courseware."

I believe this is a market area with great potential, and we can consider conducting some research and development.

Henry's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and he said, "That's a great idea!"

The education sector is indeed a market worth exploring in depth.

We can organize a team to specifically study this need and come up with a feasible solution as soon as possible.

"By the way, have we encountered any competitors?"

Has anyone triggered the patent barriers we've set up?

Alexander explained, "Regarding competitors, there are indeed some emerging software companies trying to enter the market, but so far none of them have posed a direct threat to us."

The patent barriers we've built have provided excellent protection, and our software not only has technological advantages but also excels in user experience and after-sales service, resulting in very high user stickiness.

Regarding the issue of patent infringement, we have indeed noticed that some small companies are attempting to copy some of our functions, but we have taken legal action to protect our rights.

Henry nodded in satisfaction after hearing this: "Very good, we must remain vigilant."

Patent barriers are a major advantage for us, and we cannot allow anyone to easily overcome them.

We must resolutely fight back against any attempts to infringe upon our intellectual property rights.

Then Henry asked, "So how are our finances?"

Have these sales increases translated into actual profit growth?

Alexander glanced at another report in the folder and said, "Our financial situation is excellent."

Due to the significant increase in sales, our net profit has also increased considerably.

Last month, after deducting all costs and expenses, our net profit reached $1093 million...
