The Goddess Shines on America

Since the early morning hours, hundreds of media professionals from all walks of life have gathered at the foot of the Alice Building in the central area of ​​Los Angeles. The wide square was full of crowded scenes. When the noon sun shone on the glass curtain wall of this unprecedented skyscraper, the brilliant light spread all around, causing countless reporters to consume an unknown amount of film.

Zoe Barnes was one of the on-site reporters. Although the headquarters of "Popular Electronics" is located in Seattle, the significance of this building is not local at all. Therefore, it is no wonder that "Silicon Valley" magazine even sent a camp of three editors. The guests invited for this inauguration ceremony are all too representative!

"Look, look! Gates and Allen!"

Zoe saw the passengers getting off the car with sharp eyes: "Microsoft representatives are here, and the two founders are here! Missandei, did you see that?"

"Of course I saw it, oh my god, I should have brought a wide-angle lens!" said the sharp voice, Zoe's college friend Missandei was also on the scene, and ABC even sent an OB truck to the scene, But her job is just to take enough photos.

There were too many reporters around, and Zoe couldn't even squeeze into the first three rows, but the security personnel at the scene didn't have the obligation to give her convenience. The ceremony was proceeding step by step, and those bodyguards in black suits stood in various positions like heroes of the Secret Service, their eyes behind the sunglasses swept around sharply, as if a president was traveling.

"Hey, Zoe, just ignore Gates and the others." Downey appeared behind Zoe, patted her on the shoulder and said, "Don't you think these bodyguards are worth reporting? I remember, Alice Wang A security company on the east coast of her let them go, these should be the security guards of that company, right? Look at their temperament, they are not ordinary people."

Of course Zoe noticed this, but she immediately rolled her eyes at Downey: "We are Popular Electronics, buddy, we are not a comprehensive newspaper, let alone Wall Street, do security companies have anything to do with Silicon Valley?" ? How did you major in journalism?"

"I just think..."

"Go to Missandei, maybe she will spend the night with you for this reminder?"

After shooing away annoying colleagues, Zoe continued to follow the whole process of the inauguration ceremony. The wealthy girl in Silicon Valley has built her private mansion, and her peers gather together. Even if "Popular Electronics" is a technical magazine, the geek audience is absolutely happy to read it!

"ladies and gentlemen……"

After a while, the speakers on both sides of the square boomed, and it was the mayor of Los Angeles who began to speak. Zoe looked to the side. Isn't Missandei's ABC radio colleague chatting in front of the camera? This is the time for the general media to focus on reports, but for "Popular Electronics", it only needs to focus on the limited points.

"Hey, Zoe." Donnie just rushed forward to take a few photos, and then rushed back: "I just asked someone, do you know where you are sitting... yes, that's the one over there Who is the lady in black?"

Zooey looked over. The crowd in front of the building and on both sides of the podium were of course big figures, like the two CEOs of Microsoft who got off the car before, and they were standing beside Alice Wang at this moment. As for the woman Downey mentioned...

Blonde hair, tall, charming temperament, seems to have just turned 30 years old, who is the executive? Zoe and Donnie both came a bit late. When they arrived, there were actually quite a few people gathered at the scene. Of course, they didn't see where she came from.

"who?"

"Sophie-Wang! Alice-Wang's mother!"

"Damn it, no way!?"

Zooey couldn't calm down immediately, and immediately picked up the camera and started clicking, but then said loudly: "Her mother? Donnie, I think that woman is only two years older than Amy? Her mother!?"

"Oh Zoe, don't think that everyone is as virtuous as that old woman Amy." Knowing the answer, the mother of a genius girl in Silicon Valley, Downey started to shoot wildly like taking a stimulant, long and short. The stretch is not close: "I hardly see her in any public place, so she is so beautiful!"

Well, pretty is beautiful, Zooey curled her lips. Since Downey is so interested in this news, let her concentrate on other things, such as the Bosacks on the other side of the podium. As one of the three founders of Cisco, they are very important in the daily operation of the company. Do your best. Of course, these are Alice Wang's own people. Speaking of invited guests...

"The boss of Oracle, Larry Ellison." The late bloomer boss of a database company, who is many years older than Gates, Allen, and Bosack, is forty-five this year. Although he started his business late, the company's development speed is not slow. As for the reason why he can become a distinguished guest today...Cisco and Oracle, the Internet and databases, do we need to emphasize the relationship?

It can be said that there is news everywhere, nothing else matters, the topic of the company's next development, but the content that "Popular Electronics" is very concerned about. Zooey didn't listen to what the mayor had to say at all, and she completely ignored the governor's coming to power. She was only thinking about how many exquisite manuscripts she could hand over.

In addition, Gordon Moore, the chairman of Intel Corporation and the creator of Moore's Law, also came to the scene. Yes, Alice Wang Ke is still a director of Intel Corporation, although since she joined, Intel's development is still just step by step...of course it is step by step, but now that this building is completed, the company obviously has to set up a office?

"Aggregate of Silicon Valley, Alice Building." After writing this title in the notebook, Zoe reckoned that it might be used directly in this article. The "Los Angeles Times" has already explored the tone of this young tycoon. As an entrepreneur with industries all over the world, the most direct role of private office buildings is of course industry integration!

"ladies and gentlemen……"

Finally, when the bureaucracy was over, a girl in a white dress finally stepped onto the stage. When Alice's voice finally resounded through the square, the flashlights of the reporters swept like a storm!

"It's a great honor to have the mayor and governor on board."

Standing on the high platform, looking at the dense crowd of reporters in front of her, she smiled calmly. Just flash the flash light wherever you want, if you think it will make her stage fright, that would be the most ridiculous thing in the world.

"The completion of this building is indeed a great miracle for our city of Los Angeles, and it is also a glory for us Californians. The 2,100-foot-tall building just sits here. The example of Manhattan shows that it will stand in the Here, it has been standing here for a hundred years, and it will become stronger with time!"

In the last two sentences, the girl's voice was sonorous and forceful, and there was a lot of applause from the surrounding celebrities. The mayor, the governor and many congressmen, the tech circles in Silicon Valley and Seattle, and the local business elites in the City of Angels all looked at the girl on stage with various eyes. Envy, jealousy, happiness, gratification, friendliness, kindness, standing on the stage, Alice can easily distinguish the meaning in the eyes of these people, it is so easy, she recognized the attitude of half of the high-level people in Los Angeles towards her over and over.

"What should be said, Mr. Mayor, and Mr. Governor have already said it for me. Standing on the stage now, what I want to say is about some things that not many people know yet."

Zoe stood in the media crowd, the recording equipment was turned on early, and the audience was completely silent. What on earth does the upstart girl who built this skyscraper want to do? Her development speed is too fast, and as her wealth level and influence become larger and larger, many people have to pay close attention to it.

"There are caring people here. You all know how many companies I have and how many companies are associated with me. Yes, there is Cisco, and there is also Microsoft in which I have a share. Thank you Gates and thank you Allen. At the same time There are also A\u0026A, which was acquired by me and has just been re-listed recently, and a series of small companies such as Electronic Arts Games. I also asked the concierge staff to distribute the introduction brochures for related content, and I believe everyone understands it.”

Hearing this, Zooey was a little confused.

"Manual? What manual?"

"We're late..." Donnie muttered beside him, seeing a colleague in the distance pull out a manual, he smacked his lips and said, "But it doesn't matter, we are from the magazine anyway, let Missandei and the others steal it." Go fast."

"...After the Alice Building is completed, I will integrate all related companies and settle here. Believe me, everyone, please allow me to be proud, that is, I can assure everyone that this emerging group formed around me , will definitely develop and grow at an alarming rate. So, don’t worry about the office building being too big, believe me, it will only get more and more crowded.”

Oh my God!

Zoe really regretted why she stayed in "Popular Electronics"! Look at the continuous exclamation of the media people around, look at their frantic photo-taking and note-taking as if Kennedy was assassinated! She was even thankful that it was not a free question and answer time, otherwise this square would have to become Times Square on New Year's Eve!

"Xinxing Group!" Downey yelled strangely at first, but then suddenly said: "Yes, yes, it's time for Alice Wang to establish a group company, but what should she name it? No, no, group company It is in the form of parent-child holdings, but when it comes to consortiums, it seems..."

Before he could finish talking to himself, Alice Wang said something resoundingly, causing the audience to be silent again.

"I announce that Umbrella Capital Investment Co., Ltd. is officially established today."
