After finishing the first and second seasons of "The Age of Pentium", the four main characters are really unpleasant, none of them are white lotus flowers, and they have no golden fingers. In the 1980s, when the computer industry was dark and unclear, they continued to explore with their own vision and technology, and they kept failing and suffered constant blows. I went for Lee Pace's appearance and acting skills, but when I looked around, I found that John Boz, the senior vice president of the sales department of the bald boss, can think about it. Although he is a supporting role, his character is very complete and the character is very credible.
John Boz may not have the pattern and ambition of JOE, but he is a trustworthy good man and an excellent professional manager. He can be trusted by big bosses and trusted by employees. Yes, in a high-tech company, talking about "trust" instead of "technology". This is a very important foundation. The big boss is 65 years old. He wants to enjoy a comfortable old age and is willing to hand over the company to him, which is rare. The big boss looked at the big belly. In fact, he had a falcon-like vision and cruel methods. Joe ruined his investment. He didn't know what happened, but he immediately let the police beat Joe and teach him a lesson. John Boz can get such a boss to trust him for 22 years and fight for him, which is evident. He doesn't understand technology and comes from a sales background, but it's not easy to get a group of code farmers with low emotional intelligence to support him. The first computer was built by Joe and the three of them, but everyone agreed to give John Boz the honor of turning on the computer for the first time.
JOE was recruited by him. If someone said he was a rude person, he didn't even look up JOE's bottom line. He never liked Joe, but for a long time, he was the only person who really recognized Joe. He never asked Joe like the three protagonists, you don't create anything, what value do you have! He knows that the value of Joe is not in technology, and Joe is indeed not proficient in technology, but he is very strategic, ambitious, and never stops. This guy is not suitable for part-time jobs at all, he is suitable for being his own boss. He will do whatever he can, as long as he can achieve his goal, he can sacrifice anything (it's enough to seduce the husband of a female investor to stir up investment in pornography. If Joe is really cruel, he won't say what he means, and his appearance can also be eloquent. ), he has no hobbies, no personal life, and no personal relationships with anyone other than work. He didn't even try to communicate with John Boz, he just used the means to achieve the goal and successfully dragged John Boz into the chariot. John Boz was angry of course, but he was trying to solve the problem while he was angry, he was very "professional" and "professional". At this point, he and Joe can agree, but the other three protagonists are so weak at this point that they don't know where. He said to Cameron, you can work here, but don't live here. In fact, he lives in the office himself, and he is learning every day how to keep up with this technological age.
He and Joe asked someone to design the chassis, and the designer humiliated his relationship with his wife. He was unmoved. A veteran in the business field wouldn't stop doing business because of a few foul words. As a result, the business was negotiated, and the designer asked if Joe was a QUEER (Pony, this question is asking, LEE himself is really a QUEER, Joe's sexuality is more ambiguous)? Joe is quite calm as a veteran (this guy is also quite revengeful, but he knows how to sacrifice the present for the long-term), but John Boz rushed up and beat this guy hard, and the good business was naturally lost. It's not professional at all, not like the behavior of an old manager, but it's very human. The way Joe looked at him then changed. Later, the big boss questioned him for beating someone. He didn't say it was because of JOE, but because the designer said about his wife. He knew that the boss hated Joe, and he hated himself as if he was following Joe. He was a bit chivalrous, so he did his later work. He didn't tell anyone that the PC department was burning so much money that the company wouldn't run, and he tried to convince his boss to invest more, but it didn't work. He believed that their computers represented the future, so he and Cameron took a risk and stole the company's money. After the computer is successfully built, it is a huge expense to go to the computer distribution meeting. JOE is a little puzzled that a booth costs $18,000. How can John Boz be so calm? The scene when the police finally came to arrest him was really tragic, like the image of a martyr.
He and Cameron are even more magical. Joe has brains and judgment, and you can convince him with your business logic. He doesn't ruin the business because of his personal emotions. Just like when he explained to the female investor that Joe was a "Yakee", and then Joe was beaten up like that, he continued to talk about business the next day. Joe looked on with his hands on the sidelines, and first said that he was a "Yakee", and Boz obviously gave up hope and prepared to solve the problem himself. As a result, Joe calmly followed his three vulgar jokes and explained the technical part very mellowly. In the business field, they can still cooperate.
But Comrade Cameron is a smart and sensitive pure technical genius. You rarely see her getting along well with others throughout the first season. She only spoke well twice, and her communication attitude was that of John Boz. She is straight-forward, emotionally and verbally; she believes in her own abilities, no matter what anyone says. That's why she dared to use Joe as a human-shaped massage stick. Gordon's emotional intelligence is really low. You talk about business affairs, and you can't say that Cameron got his job by sleeping with Joe. Cameron's counterattack was quite direct, kissing Gordon madly in front of everyone, and said again: You were amazing last night! The good man Gordon suddenly lost his temper.
John Boz directly witnessed this scene. It was pouring rain after get off work at night, and he asked Cameron to talk. Cameron loves Joe, but the two have a low EQ in their relationship, and there is no middle ground except for sex and work. Cameron didn't talk to Joe about her family and her past, but she talked to Boz. Would you say Joe's dad also let Cameron talk about her family? The genius girl Cameron has a very high IQ. As soon as the old guy fooled her, she immediately understood the direct counterattack and ripped off the old fox's disguise. So Boz didn't make Cameron open up by cheating. He admired Cameron very sincerely. This kind of genius may be self-pity and underappreciated, but you can't sympathize with her, her pride won't allow it. When she said that she can't communicate with people, Boz just said lightly: Isn't it a good time to talk? Cameron laughed immediately: "That's because I drank too much. Cameron without a stab like this is quite rare in the first season.
What's even more touching is that Boz didn't blame Cameron for the farce that afternoon, but said: People here more or less want you to screw up, because you represent the future, and nothing is more scary than the future. . The only other person who can appreciate Cameron so much is Joe. Being able to accurately identify and judge the value of different people, and being able to unite different people to work hard for the same goal are all qualities that a good manager must possess. From this point of view, Boz is very good. He won Cameron's trust, so Cameron could not hesitate to break the law and use hacking techniques to steal money from the bank. When the incident happened, Boz took down all the charges by himself and protected Cameron. Cameron is the only one who can show his sincerity in front of him and hug him. Cameron must meet Boz, who was released on bail, before going to the distribution meeting. The hug between the two of them, well, I almost regarded them as CP. (Some people say that Joe's public and private are clearly right, but Cameron always mixes personal emotions in the workplace. Please, are you two really hobbies, you are both really robots, so it's really true that you don't fall in love in the workplace! Having said that, this is already the relationship. Public and private clearly does not mean that you are not a thousand miles away. Joe's attitude will definitely hurt Cameron. You learn from John Boz, and you can gain Cameron's trust with a few words. .)
