The Goddess Shines on America

According to Microsoft's statement, the press conference will be held at 1:00 pm that day, and all participating media must notify Microsoft of the number of media they will send by fax in advance.

From the early morning of the same day, the relevant staff began to arrange the venue. According to the number of journalists attending the meeting received, they specially found a square outside the company headquarters, filled with hundreds of chairs. The square has long been surrounded by a simple cordon, and Microsoft's own security guards act as security inspectors.

The scale of Redmond is not very large, with a population of just over 50,000. It can be said to be a small city with green trees. However, it is such a small place, but the American branch of Nintendo has settled in one after another, and the news of Microsoft's listing has appeared. How can we not call the surrounding residents to come and watch?

As early as in the morning, some old people who don’t need to work from 9 to 5 took a walk around the square. Of course, they usually take a walk, but today, they all came to this area near the Microsoft building, no doubt they came for the press conference of.

While the workers were still setting up the venue, they could still see that there were always one or two short Asian men wandering around the square. That is undoubtedly Microsoft's new neighbor in this city, the employees of Nintendo's American branch stationed in 1981, who are staring at the details of the new IPO press conference.

Furthermore, although the announced start time of the press conference was exactly one o'clock, as early as eleven o'clock at noon, more than a dozen reporters had already arrived, and they had already arrived at the center of the square with their admission tickets.

At twelve noon, almost all the seats were taken. A total of 132 media reporters from the United States and even the United Kingdom came to the press conference. Buzzing sounds kept ringing in the wide square, led by the "Wall Street Journal" and other major media, many long guns and short cannons have been set up in front of the seats. It can be said that, except for the front-end work being booked by large media, other journalists are all trying to make themselves sit more front.

"My God, this is so exciting!"

And just at the cordon on the edge of the square, a big boy with a sense of disobedience was standing there.

"Microsoft's press conference, they must be announcing the second largest shareholder! Alice, oh~ it must be Alice!"

It wasn't Harry Poness, who else?

When he saw the news in the recent tabloid news, Harry believed without hesitation that their guess must be correct. The Alice Wang in the executive list announced by Microsoft must be his beloved novelist Alice!

It's a pity that Amy, who works in a bookstore, didn't have time to go to Redmond to watch any press conference, so Harry knew that he came today with a mission. The camera in his hand was already hungry, and he was waiting to capture a photo of Alice and send it to Amy!

Gradually, the time began to approach one o'clock in the afternoon.

It can be seen that a group of people is walking from a distance from the Microsoft headquarters building, the number of people is about 20 people.

"Look, look, Bill Gates is here, hurry up and take a picture!"

The astute reporter was already thinking about taking pictures, and immediately aimed at the first person who came. Blonde hair, a baby face, and glasses were not the main protagonists of this press conference. Bill Gates could still who is it! ?

But here comes the spoiler.

"Look, look at that girl!"

An excited reporter noticed something sharp-eyed, and subconsciously shouted: "Little girl! A little Asian girl with black hair! Alice Wang! Sure enough, she is the recently famous Alice Wang in the entertainment industry!"

This yell was worth it, and the reporters sitting on the sidelines couldn't bear it any longer. Those who could reach the cordon quickly rushed over, and those who couldn't, quickly took pictures. Who is the girl who is walking from the Microsoft building along with Bill Gates, Paul Allen and others, but Alice?

"Haha, that guy Steve, Bai has been working on the entertainment page for so long, today I'm writing this manuscript!"

"Oh my god, I just said that those tabloid reports are not based on rumors. You can be called this name, and you can successfully make the news. How can there be so many coincidences with the same name? It's just one person!"

"This girl is too low-key. She has hardly received any interviews, and even the most basic public appearances are rare. I heard that the last time I participated in the Tonight Show, I was afraid that public opinion would recruit people from the Children's Rights Association to my home..."

Alice was far away, so she heard the reporters' whispered discussions clearly: "Bill, you'd better hurry up and say it later, I will definitely be endless after I go up."

As the distance approached, sharp-eyed reporters also saw that the future was coming, and Alice was walking side by side with Bill Gates: "No problem, Alice, but don't turn our press conference into a star." interview."

Alice smiled softly: "Of course."

When the people sent by the company arrived at the scene, the reporters who were still boiling immediately quieted down. They returned to their respective positions and watched Bill Gates walk up to the high platform alone. None of them was excited. However, those who cared about her paid extra attention to Alice, who was temporarily standing in the audience.

"Good afternoon, everyone from the media."

Facing the non-stop flashing cameras in the audience, Gates said: "This press conference has two items to announce. The first item is the change of the company's shares and management personnel after the public listing to the majority of shareholders."

Countless reporters in the audience held their breath, but they basically didn't look at Gates, but at Alice who stood inconspicuously in the corner.

"As of the close of the first day of listing, Microsoft has raised US$61 million, accounting for 20% of the company's total share capital."

"Chairman, CEO, Chief Software Architect, Bill Gates, himself, owns 35% of Microsoft Corporation."

Gates spoke slowly, and all the reporters in the audience were not frantically recording.

He paused for a moment, and then said: "The company's second largest shareholder, chief technical advisor, Alice Wang, holds 30% of the technology shares."

After saying this, the audience was still silent, and the only thing that could be vaguely heard was the sound of the reporters writing quickly.

But there is no doubt that among the hundreds of reporters in the audience, there is no heart that is not beating fast. Big news, really loud and big news, and how many people present didn’t come with preparations. As soon as the snapped photos are released, it can be confirmed to the public. Alice, who was on the list announced by Microsoft as early as the IPO, is indeed It is indeed the one who is becoming a little famous in the entertainment industry!

Moreover, the word technology stocks was also emphasized by all the reporters in unanimous agreement!

"The company's third largest shareholder, Paul Allen, holds around 15% of the shares..."

No one paid attention to the news that followed, it was nothing more than a group of management and employees holding single-digit or even decimal point-level ordinary shares. It's just that now is not the time for free questions after all, and the reporters have to endure even if they are full of questions.

"It's done! It's done! It's definitely done!"

Harry, however, was already satisfied. The girl standing in the corner in the distance, the beautiful and attractive big-breasted girl Alice, even though he was standing on the edge of the square, he didn't spare the Kodak film in his hand at all. It only took a while longer, and countless sneak shots of Alice were taken with the telephoto lens!

"Amy will definitely like it very much. She will date me when she is happy. If she dates me, I will not be single. Mom, your son, I am finally going to find a girlfriend!"

"……what's the situation?"

Alice muttered.

"What's wrong?"

Beside him, Paul Allen was yelled by Gates' horn, and couldn't hear Alice's words: "What?"

"Look there."

Alice pointed straight to the edge of the square, where a young man was taking pictures near the rostrum: "Since we came, the flashlights there have been on non-stop. I am really convinced, isn't it a bit cloudy today?" , a kid passing by to watch the fun is so arrogant!?"

Allen laughed: "I thought it was something. Doesn't this just show that our Microsoft has a great influence? Look at the reporters in the room, how many companies can attract so many companies when they first go public? people?"

The number of people is one, the key is the gold content. The logos of The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, The Washington Post could not be more obvious. The NASDAQ exchange is in Washington, while Wall Street is in Manhattan. The Seattle Daily reporter also came to the next city, and the "Popular Electronics" was put in the front row by Alice's advocates. Resounding industry paper media ah!

"The above is the changes in the shares and positions of the company's shareholders and management after Microsoft's listing."

After reading the long list, Gates also knew where today's highlight is. In fact, the reason why he held a press conference with great fanfare and invited several heavyweight paper media was the second news .

When Gates put away the materials in his hands, all the media personnel knew that there seemed to be a big event coming.

Many people who have never given up even drew up news headlines as early as after Gates finished reading Alice's equity share and position.

It's too obvious, the news after that must be Alice introducing herself~

Sure enough, Gates said: "The next news will be announced by the company's second shareholder, Ms. Alice Wang, who is also the chief technical advisor."

Gates immediately stepped off the high platform, and when Alice in casual clothes walked up with ease, click, click, all the reporters stood up immediately, and wasted all their film for free! !

"I knew it was going to be like this, it was like walking the red carpet."

As soon as he stepped off the stage, Gates smiled wryly and said, "But I really want to scold them, this job is really something that Alice can do."

Allen and Ballmer stood in a corner and laughed softly.

Then, they looked at Alice who was standing in front of the stage together.
