The Goddess Shines on America

If there are any major events worth remembering in the first half of 1986, the event of IBM can be said to be the most iconic, and even looking at the development of the entire IT industry, it is one of the few major events. If it is said that before Microsoft's listing in early March, people in the IT and financial circles were most concerned about its listing, then from March 7th, IBM's name can be seen in newspapers almost every day.

Starting from Alice Wang, the founder of Cisco Systems, Microsoft's second largest shareholder, who revealed its "conspiracy", in the next days of March, and throughout April, people in the media are like nectar after a long drought All the desert travelers went completely crazy.

Among all the media, the "New York Times" is the first to report on IBM in a column. Its editors will track IBM's situation in real time in a specific section every day. Immediately afterwards, the "Wall Street Journal" seemed to have been founded by Bai for so many years. Only then did it suddenly realize that it also followed the former's practice and opened a column.

Then it came to the moment of the big explosion. After all, a super giant that almost affected the development of the entire computer industry actually made an invasion of the stock exchange, and it succeeded. It has not caught such a thing... Scientific research institute, how many years? There is no more exciting and exciting event of the century than this!

Just look at the celebrities who have left messages on the major paper media. Over the past month or so, dozens of **** every night, I don’t know how many people have expressed their opinions on various media. all over the world.

"I really can't believe that a behemoth with a history of half a century dared to do such a thing that offends the whole world! Illegal hacking into the stock exchange! Fortunately, Cisco announced that it would develop a product called a firewall, otherwise I would not even Stocks don't even dare to argue!" -John Kyramore, The New York Times.

"This will be a disgrace to the entire IT industry. I am deeply saddened for IBM's board of directors. Is it possible that after half a century of glory, this enterprise will inevitably go to the end of Standard Oil? One is because of excessive asset expansion , was forced to disintegrate because of the arrogant adoption of the trust operation mode; one was trying to use more despicable means to make profits because of its confidence in the mastery of computer technology. This is the tragedy of the times!" - "Christian Monitor" Ender Lil Bernack.

"From the IBM intrusion incident, we will find a very interesting situation. The world's most famous typewriter manufacturer is IBM, the world's oldest and most powerful computer company is also IBM, and now it has created Set two precedents: the largest public company whose share price falls in a non-economic crisis, and the first public company to become the world's public enemy." -William Sandel, The Times.

All in all, for more than a month, the entire Western world has discovered that they don’t have to worry about having no news to read. Newspapers in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, France, West Germany, Italy, Australia, and how many countries are happily tracking IBM’s various news. situation.

Among them, the stock price is naturally the most talked about.

It should be that, after all, Big Blue has a deep foundation. Even in this situation, after a month, its stock price can still be maintained at the original 30% level.

Yes, a drop of up to 70%. In other words, the stock worth $30 in theaters can now be bought home for only $9. That is to say, Big Blue can use that strong capital flow to protect its status. If other companies suffer from this kind of scandal, they may have already become junk goods that no one wants for a penny, right?

But at this moment, no matter how low the price is, no one dares to buy anything, and everyone is selling it like crazy. And this is not only because no one is optimistic about its stock, but also because almost all shareholders do not want to get involved with IBM from the bottom of their hearts!

Of course, it's impossible for IBM to go this long without holding a press conference to explain, but...

"The scene of IBM's second press conference fell into chaos again, board members were taken care of by angry minority shareholders leather shoes banana"!?"

Holding the news in her hand, Alice gloated and laughed.

The picture in the newspaper was just a snapshot taken by a reporter at the press conference. The timing was just right, and it happened to be the scene where a pair of leather boots hit the CEO Aker's nose. Dude, who is that guy who got the goldfish thrown in the face? Also, why goldfish? Could it be that a reporter took it out of the fish tank on the scene?

This is Alice's own home. At this moment, Sophie was busy mopping the floor upstairs when she heard her daughter's whirring music from below. She walked down quickly and asked curiously: "See again?" What is something interesting that makes you so happy?"

"Mum, Ma, look at this, look at this!"

Alice handed over the newspaper, and at the same time looked at the mop in Sophie's hand: "Shouldn't this mop be changed? Look, the fabric is all split."

Sophie waved her hand nonchalantly: "It's not urgent, your dad has gone to the supermarket, I guess he will buy one when he sees a good mop."

As she said that, Sophie looked at the rather funny picture in the newspaper, and laughed too: "The second press conference fell into chaos again, tsk tsk, who wrote this article, how could it be so... giggle, How about picking the key point?"

"It's Doni Vermilian, the Los Angeles Times gold medal reporter."

Alice said casually, and lay lazily on the sofa: "By the way, mom, have you noticed that Oscar always likes to lock himself in the house recently?"

Sophie listened, but instead of looking up upstairs, she looked at Alice meaningfully: "You didn't just notice it, did you?"

Seeing this look, Alice suddenly felt a little upset, and whimpered and turned around on the sofa: "Isn't this been busy with work recently, you know, Cisco got a lot of money just because of IBM. There are a lot of orders, so busy~"

"No matter how busy you are, you shouldn't have discovered my brother's abnormality so late."

Sophie put the newspaper on the table, dragged the cloth to the side of the sofa, and sat down on the sofa: "I'm asking you now, Weiwei, do you know when Oscar started, and always put himself in the bedroom? "

"Oh, I'm really stumped by you."

Alice sat up and patted her head with a smile: "Then mom, do you know why?"

Sophie looked at Alice mysteriously, but didn't speak.

Alice rolled her eyes, and picked up the newspaper again with a flick of her hand: "Don't talk about pulling it down, I will continue to work~"

"Alice?"

Sophie said this suddenly.

Alice lay flat on the sofa, with her legs on Sophie's lap: "What are you doing?"

As he spoke, the newspaper covered his head, looking lazy.

Coincidentally, it is now April, and a girl who is not afraid of the cold has already started wearing sandals barefoot. Seeing that her daughter didn't cooperate with her so much, Sophie smiled lightly, put her fingers on the soles of Alice's feet, and flicked lightly~

"Ouch!"

As if getting an electric shock, Alice suddenly screamed and jumped up: "Mom, don't scratch my soles, don't you know where I am most ticklish?"

Sophie said innocently: "Who told you not to follow my rhythm, I wanted to tease you, but it turned out to be so uncooperative."

Alice sat down on the armrest of the sofa with a face full of anger, and grabbed the soles of her feet with her hands: "Tickle me again next time, and see if I let Caesar clean you~"

"Hey, do you dare to let it clean me up?"

Sophie laughed. She was tired after mopping the floor of the house for a long time. She was about to take a rest, but the result was good. Her daughter really kept finding exercise for herself: "Then what are you talking about, what do you want to do?" How will Caesar deal with me?"

"Of course it was punched into two small pancakes~"

Alice waved her hand involuntarily, and looked out the window at the same time: "By the way, Hannah is leading Caesar for a walk today. It's been half an hour and you haven't come back yet?"

Sophie patted her daughter's head: "Do you think Hannah can walk as fast as you and Oscar? But Oscar is also true. He is not at home on the big weekend to walk Caesar, why is he going out to play again?"

Since the morning, I have gone out with the basketball in my arms, and said that lunch will be settled outside, but after all, it is already three o'clock in the afternoon, and James is shopping in the supermarket, so there are really only mother and daughter left at home.

"Didn't you just say that Oscar locks himself in the bedroom at every turn?"

Alice curled her lips, and sneaked into Sophie's arms dishonestly: "By the way, Mom, do you know the reason?"

"If you want to talk about the reason..."

Sophie hugged Alice dotingly, and pinched her firm nose: "Don't you have a friend named Maiya?"

Alice suddenly felt a little uncomfortable: "...Yeah, and then?"

Sophie shook her body lightly, humming and said, "Well~ It seems that Maiya didn't tell you, but I don't think she knows either..."

"Slow down!"

Alice simply interrupted Sophie's speech as if she was teasing a baby: "You mean, that kid Oscar has taken a fancy to Maiya!?"

Looking at Sophie's "you're so smart" eyes, Alice really wished she could become a big fool!

"Oh damn it, are you serious!? Sophie, that kid Oscar has a crush on Maiya? How can that be... wait, it doesn't seem impossible!"

Just as she was yelling, a flash of light suddenly appeared in Alice's mind, and she punched herself in the palm of her hand.

"When we played together several times, I remember Oscar blushing at Maiya, when did that start!?"

"Well, it's useless to ask me."

Sophie smiled and said that she is a parent who likes to hear and see: "If you are interested, you can go to Oscar's bedroom to take a look while no one is around. I remember that when I cleaned the room, it was in his... where Come on, I saw Maiya's photo."

To be fair, Alice is a real girl.

Not the kind of guy who looks like a computer because he's so smart.

As soon as she heard such clues in the bedroom, she rushed upstairs like an otaku whose house was full of figurines and found out that a child had entered the room.

If the yelling along the way was recorded, it might be used as a prank.
