The Goddess Shines on America

After finally merging a couple of graphics software companies, most of the things that needed to be done before school were done.

Of course, the merger process will last for a period of time. The financial review of the two companies, the integration of financial statements and the change of legal person, etc., all require Sophie's assistance. Of course, it is also possible to hire a Big Four accounting firm, but the commission consumption is enough to buy a Lamborghini, why not use it to buy a supercar and give it to the accountants?

Sophie will also appreciate the extra money~

The specific operations of Cisco and Microsoft can be left to the elderly. Alice threw out the Win3.0 system a quarter ago, and now it has caused quite a stir in the industry, because the timeline has moved forward by two years, many companies that are supposed to pose a threat to Microsoft have all It hasn't grown to the size it was in the 1990s. Therefore, when the company has launched three operating platforms of the same series in a row, the changes in the field of software suppliers are even more gratifying.

Undoubtedly, compared with hardware vendors and pure computer manufacturers, the business of software suppliers is an emerging industry in Silicon Valley. Any software needs to operate on a system platform, and if suppliers want to make products compatible with Microsoft systems, they must of course obtain the other party's authorization. The industrial chain structure has been formed bit by bit. After all, there are only so many computers in the world at present, and Microsoft's products are being sold to the entire market at a rapid speed.

Of course, a certain sentence that should have been put forward by Gai Zi was unceremoniously plagiarized by Alice at the conference when she visited Microsoft last time.

"Microsoft is forever 18 months away from bankruptcy."

Congratulations to the great Moore's Law, the hardware industry is developing rapidly. Intel is the best example. Since Alice took a stake in it and easily released a set of structural algorithms that can improve computing efficiency, the company of course couldn't wait to launch a new generation of products. Although its performance is not to mention Core Duo, there is still a huge gap from the minimum Pentium III and IV, but it is already another new breakthrough in the hardware industry.

Therefore, Alice's 18-month sentence really inspired all Microsoft employees from her own perspective.

As for the ideas of Apple, IBM and other companies in today's rapid development of Microsoft, it is not what Alice needs to worry about. Don't talk about other companies. If Jobs doesn't come back for a day, Apple will ignore it. Of course, taking advantage of the emptiness of the sluggish total market value, Ai Like did not miss the act of buying individual stocks bit by bit, but it was not like buying and holding on to it as soon as it was bought. Buying and selling were fun. Almost.

As for Cisco, as soon as the optical module was launched, it really received a large number of orders from all over the world. British Telecom, which has a cooperative relationship, immediately placed a contract of 30 million US dollars. Of course, AT\u0026T in China could not bear to be lonely, and an order with a total amount no less than that of holding it arrived immediately. As of now, the company's revenue from overseas orders has broken through to a new height. According to the report sent by Sandy Bosack, the company is not far from calling itself a multinational enterprise.

Of course, sales of Cisco's other products have not stopped, and even some competitors have begun to launch similar products. As for Lucent Technology, although it has just reached a cooperation with Cisco in the field of optical modules, but immediately after the launch of this product, it also sent Lucent brand routers to the market.

Of course, Cisco's product upgrades have never stopped. The development of network hardware equipment is either fast or slow. The demand for hardware is high, and the demand for software is not low, but this is not difficult for Alice.

She can easily solve most of the problems in the software part, and then easily point out what kind of hardware structure can best give full play to the performance of the product. With such a know-it-all technical consultant, do you still worry that the new product launch is not fast enough?

Large companies don't need to worry, and small companies don't have to worry too much. For Uncle Roger, the development of DreamWorks is of course step by step. The preliminary preparations have been completed, and all the staff of "Batman" have gone to nearby Long Island to start filming. Although the entire Gotham City set in the 1980s looks very fake, but only from Alice's own perspective, it is more than enough to fool the aesthetic ability of contemporary people.

Of course, an entire movie company wouldn't serve just one movie, but Alice didn't even care about what the hell those other small movies were. It is now the summer of 1988 anyway. Throughout the 1980s, the most desirable works have already been divided up by other filmmakers. If you buy it with money, how many copies can you get?

Of course, it is not impossible to move some movies that require low special effects to be shot now. But the reason why Alice wants to play in DreamWorks is just to put her own brand on these movies. How can she rush to put "The Shawshank Redemption" and "Forrest Gump" all in one place? The reason for moving it directly?

And seriously, if Tom Hanks were to play Forrest Gump right now, would he be able to make that screen classic?

God knows, if it weren't for Hanks' best actor-level performance, this movie wouldn't be too surprising at all.

As for the Blackwater Mercenary Company, and that special soldier Daqi who was thrown into Thailand by himself...

In the operation to assist Iraq in April, the deployment of 2,000 Blackwater mercenaries played an absolutely remarkable role. So after the incident subsided, orders of various sizes flooded to the company. According to the analysis of North Carolina Governor McDowell, those rich people who hired security guards were more or less related to the oil industry. .

Yes, Governor McDowell. A security company like Blackwater, which has stationed thousands of retired soldiers, of course has to deal with the relationship with the local government, and the specific matters are handed over to Levi Akaman. As of today, the company that set its training base in the swamp has already controlled the combat power equivalent to an infantry armored regiment. After all, those armored vehicles and helicopters are not decorations.

Specifically these things...

University can be discussed again, but as a good boy at least, there is no reason not to finish middle school well. An entire business under her banner is spread all over the place, and Mr. Li Ka-shing in Hong Kong still has a lot of cooperation to deal with. Alice Building, someone is now waiting for it to be finally completed, and when the skyscraper comes out, it will be her old den now!

Since she knew how much money she would have in the future, Alice did not save labor costs at all for the construction of this building. On the premise that the quality is not bad at all, if there are more construction workers, the construction efficiency will naturally increase. It's nothing more than tripling the bill for labor wages, and she's not short of that money.

As long as you can move in after graduating from middle school, you will be fine!

So, with all the shit, big and small, out of the way, she can relax and go back to England.

Why? About the cooperation of Drakken Corporation, and those other things that are quite Hollywood action movie style?

That was the fun that came after returning to England. Alice remembered clearly that the female spy named Vipple stole the blueprints of the Computer Research Institute, not the blueprints of the DreamWorks studio. Of course, these related issues will have to wait until she returns to the country to sit in town.

Then, it was time for the plane to land at the London airport.

"Wow~"

After getting off the plane, on August 31st, Britain has entered the season of cool autumn wind. Alice was wearing a thick light gray plush short windbreaker, standing on the street and sighing with emotion.

"It's a bit windy today." Sissy stood beside her as expected, wearing a short black plush windbreaker. Just after she finished saying this, a gust of autumn wind blew past the front gate of the airport. All floated up.

"The mountains and rain are about to come and the wind is all over the building!" Alice yelled in Chinese, and only Sissy could understand most of the audience: "Look at Sissy, the sky is cloudy!"

Sissy looked up, if she was lucky today, it was really not ordinary luck. Is there such a thing as the unlucky thing that the Met Office issued a rainstorm warning when the passenger plane was about to arrive in the British airspace?

"I don't think we need to rush back to school tonight. Our grades are so good anyway, so we won't be able to do anything if we are a day late." Alice took Sissy's hand and said, "Let's go to the Ritz Hotel for a night. ,what do you say?"

Sissy shrugged nonchalantly, carried the suitcase and said, "It doesn't matter, it's already three o'clock in the afternoon, and it's rare that I haven't been back to England for two months. It's not bad to visit the night scene in London. Let's go?"

Speaking of shopping, today does not seem to be a good opportunity. Many people on the street are in a hurry, and most of them are carrying umbrellas. The sky is dark and cloudy, and God knows when lightning will fall. But the weather in the UK is just so strange. Don't look at the stormy posture now, maybe half an hour later, it will be a sunny day.

"Speaking of London," Alice said while walking down the street holding Sissy's hand, looking up at the city in the distance, "I have to talk about my "Harry Potter" book. Brown and the others are also in a hurry Come on, it’s not fast enough to write more than a hundred thousand words in two months, hurry up..."

"Heck~ The part-time great writer finally understands the feeling of being urged to write?" Sissy smiled gleefully, looked at the eyes of passers-by, and pecked at Alice's ear: "I want you to finish the book in one breath." Just come out to show off, and tell you, now I am also pressuring for manuscripts!"

There was a strange cry, and then Alice took Sissy's arm, and led her to swing sideways on the street, as if she was drunk!
