The Goddess Shines on America

April is a busy season.

After listing, Microsoft has ushered in its rapid development period, and the company has new employees every day. And when the news that Windows 2.0 will be listed in July 1986 came out, the company's stock price ushered in a new surge. The next day, there were articles in the financial circles, commenting that this operating system would be faster than the previous one. How much different.

And when many people were very interested, when Microsoft held that press conference, the official statement clearly stated that this was "the crystallization of the wisdom of the joint efforts of all engineers."

In other words, wasn't the company's second largest shareholder, technical consultant Alice Wang, developing it alone?

Following the listing of the company, in response to public demands for information disclosure of listed companies and curiosity about celebrities, Bill Gates appeared on a talk show for the first time in mid-April. As a college dropout who has developed a company for ten years and successfully listed it on the market, his experience has too many legends. Therefore, when this program was broadcast, I don’t know how many people from inside and outside the industry watched it together. Ci's photo immediately appeared on the front page of the "Seattle Daily".

It was also in this talk show that Gates disclosed various details about Alice.

"When she handed us the disk with the Windows 1.0 installation software on it, everyone in the company was shocked. At that time, Paul and I even held a meeting of executives to thoroughly investigate industrial espionage in the company! But In the end, it turned out that this was indeed made by Alice after knowing the news about our Windows development!"

"She is a very thoughtful girl, and she has a strong learning ability, and her logical thinking ability is as good as a computer. I saw with my own eyes how she started from scratch, and in just three hours, she learned nothing beforehand. I memorized all the commonly used Norwegian words!"

In addition to introducing Alice to everyone, Gates also expressed his views on the recent IBM incident.

In particular, the forced suspension of a cooperation.

"Yes, the joint development of an Internet-based operating system between Microsoft and IBM at the end of last year has been terminated after many negotiations between our two parties."

At this point in the interview, everyone could clearly see how serious and frustrated the face of this up-and-coming multimillionaire in his early thirties was.

But then, he said a piece of news: "However, Microsoft will continue to develop the project. The reorganized project will be renamed Windows.NT system, that is, New-Technology. The first round of new employees after our listing It is prepared for it. According to the proposal of Alice, the technical consultant of the project team, we will establish a technical team of about 200 people before June."

At the scene of the show, when Gates suddenly announced the news, one can imagine how excited the audience was. Of course, the host would not let go of this opportunity, and immediately asked: "The team will be established before June, so how long will the project itself last?"

"It's going to be a long time."

The picture displayed on the TV was very clear, and Gates’ expression was frank and serious: “IBM’s intrusion incident has given people all over the world a warning. Every enterprise must be cautious and cautious about network information security. This new system is for server computers. Yeah, I'm sure no one wants us to sloppy bring it to market early?"

It was precisely because of the first round of interviews after the listing that Microsoft's stock price increased by as much as 15% after the market opened the next day, becoming a bright new star on the NASDAQ exchange!

In contrast, the blue-chip stock of IBM, which is listed on the New York Stock Exchange and is now so bleak that almost no one cares about it...

For more than a month, Big Blue held two press conferences, focusing on proving his innocence, and fell into chaos twice. Readers of all financial newspapers in the United States clearly remember that in the news photo on the second day after its second press conference, the bridge of the nose of IBM’s then CEO Aker was hit by a thrown leather shoe. The biggest joke in the industry.

So in late April, no one was surprised when Nasdaq took IBM to federal court.

Alice is even more delighted to hear and see this, adding gloat.

However, whether it was Gates' interview or IBM's continued bad luck, she did not participate in the entire April. Because, an equally important matter is waiting for her to do it herself.

Location, DreamWorks reception room.

The door was opened.

A man of Japanese descent who was nearly forty years old walked into the room, even wearing a typical formal suit. Although he was not very tall, he had a serious demeanor, and the brown eyes on his face gave him a deep aura.

"Let me introduce you."

Another black-haired man walked into the room quickly, his eyes were like a falcon, but it was Maiya's Greek father, a lieutenant colonel, and then the squadron leader of the Delta Special Forces Akaman.

"Alice, this is Fumihiko Sextant, the mechanical designer I hired for you. Sextant, this is Alice Wang, your boss."

The man stepped forward and bowed slightly to the girl: "It's the first time we meet, please give me your advice."

"Oh, nice to meet you."

Alice withdrew the hand she just stretched out, and then looked curiously at the man who could almost be her father: "I have seen your resume, Mr. Sextant. It is so rare, you have been here since high school America went to school, but still kept the Japanese etiquette."

"Because I've never been an American citizen."

The man named Sextant said calmly: "It seems that Ms. Wang has read my resume, do you decide to hire me?"

What I said really made me appreciate his emotional intelligence...

"Graduated from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, combined master and doctoral studies at Caltech, and then went to Princeton to study advanced mathematics at the doctoral level. He worked for the world's top arms dealer, General Electric Company, for seven years. Such a man with a legendary experience , actually want to come to a film company's crew as a mechanical designer..."

Alice looked at the sextant with great interest: "Men with stories are the most likely to fascinate women. May I take the liberty to ask, why were you persuaded by Akaman?"

Sextant did not intend to hide anything, and said very calmly: "General Electric is a military enterprise after all, and Japan's economy is currently highly developed, so my communication with many colleagues is often troubled. So I think that before the economic crisis in Japan, It is not suitable for me to continue working in that kind of military industrial enterprise."

Wow……

Very good and strong reason.

On the front foot, he also said that he had never become an American citizen, and then he expected an economic crisis in the motherland. Uncle, is it really okay for you to do this?

"Well, I don't care about your messy reasons, let me show you something first."

Alice didn't bother to care so much about the Japanese's own affairs. She turned around and picked up a file bag from the sofa: "This is a design drawing I prepared yesterday, please take a good look."

Naturally, sextant didn't suspect him, so he took it immediately, sat on the sofa and opened it.

At the same time, Akaman nodded and said: "It seems that there is no problem, then I will go."

Alice came forward and put Akaman's shoulder quite affectionately: "Hey, Uncle Levi, don't rush to leave, I have a lot of things to ask you right now."

As soon as the words fell, the sextant who had just taken out a thick stack of drawings looked up and said, "Then please continue in the corridor, I need to concentrate."

Alice: "..."

As soon as the front foot and Akaman walked out of the reception room and closed the door, she immediately muttered: "I said Uncle Levi, the reason why this guy can't work in General Electric must be his own fault, right? Surely?"

"Haha, but his professional knowledge is really outstanding."

Akaman nodded and said with a smile: "If you just talk to him about technical matters, there is nothing wrong with it. The most is... Well, once other experts make some mistakes, they will definitely be criticized by him."

Alice nodded: "Then don't worry about that. Hey, Levi, how is Dutch's situation?"

"Black Lagoon Trade."

Akaman nodded clearly and said: "In the call this morning, Daqi has already contacted the branch of the Hong Kong Triad Society in Roanapura, and now he is transporting some ordinary goods for them. In other words, the business is officially It's open."

"A triad is..."

Alice narrowed her eyes: "It's fine, just let him develop a little bit, after all, he just set off from Barbados in January. Then, uncle, I'm giving you a task..."

"It's time to choose a training ground for our Blackwater International, isn't it?"

Akaman nodded clearly: "You first give some specific requirements, so that it will be more convenient for me to run errands. The desert in Arizona? The Gobi in New Mexico and Texas? There are too many places that can be used as training grounds."

"Hmph, in this regard, I have already chosen a target."

Without him, Alice said with a smile: "There is a lot of cheap land in the Great Dismore Swamp in North Carolina. The training base, the more difficult it is, the more it reflects our professionalism, what do you think?"

"The Great Dismore Swamp?"

Akaman suddenly realized: "I really know this place. Three years ago, several teams did special training there. It is completely a natural training ground. If we build a base there, it will definitely help the company's publicity."

Then, he looked around and saw that the quiet corridor didn't look like someone would eavesdrop, and whispered: "Alice, are you sure we can get the support of Vice President Bush?"

For this sentence, his volume was extremely low.

"Don't worry about that, Uncle Levi."

Alice also smiled softly, leaning her head towards him: "Because I introduced my Cisco to the Pentagon, Bush is now very popular with the military, as long as..."

Suddenly, the door of the conference room opened.

Sextanti Fumihiko, this 40-year-old Japanese man was no longer as calm as before, holding a thick stack of design drawings in his hand, and said excitedly: "Miss Wang, you designed these things!?"
