The Goddess Shines on America

The weather in London in late November was cold and cold. When the cold snap came again, there were bursts of snowflakes falling from the sky, and even the small town of Windsor, which was just a stone's throw away, was covered in snow.

Of course, Eton College is no exception. Whenever the bell rings, groups of white geese will fly into the sky from the roof of the church. Groups of young students wearing black tuxedos will frequently haunt the buildings, making this place seem to have returned to the pure medieval era.

"Fly, fly~"

Alice, who was standing in the clearing, said to the snow-white owl on her arm.

"Cuckoo?"

However, the owl didn't cooperate with her, and still stood obediently on Alice's arm, letting the snowflakes around them fall on each other.

A black line suddenly appeared on Alice's face: "You are flying."

The owl tilted its head: "Cuckoo?"

"Can you fly!?"

"Cuckoo, flutter~"

The owl did fly, but instead of soaring through the sky like eleven-year-old Harry Potter's Hedwig, it landed directly on a nearby flower bed.

"Bastard, how can you not give me face like this!?"

"Because your character has been used up."

Sissy giggled. She was sitting by the flower bed, with a thick sweater under her school uniform and a beautiful scarf around her neck. At this moment, she reached out and touched the owl's head, seeing Alice's embarrassment, not to mention how happy she was.

If you fail, you fail. Alice is either envious of that kid Harry Potter, or seeing that the surrounding environment is too similar to Hogwarts in winter, so she borrowed an owl from a certain senior sister to play. After all, the most beautiful scene in the entire "Sorcerer's Stone" movie is the moment when the small glasses let Hedwig fly.

It's a pity that it will be disabled in the future.

At this moment, I saw Sissy blowing on her hands without gloves, then rubbing her hands, blinking her slender eyelashes, and said to Alice: "I said, Alice, do you have any plans for the winter vacation?"

"Winter vacation... There are so many things to do."

Alice sat on the flower bed, and the two of them swept away the snow long ago. Seeing seven or eight thirteen or fourteen-year-old elementary school students passing by, she thought about it and said, "There is nothing to worry about at work. There is nothing to worry about at Cisco. , Switches are selling hot, and a new generation of routers will be on the market at any time, it depends on Lucent's strength. Microsoft doesn't care, your father's has nothing, Blackwater International is still building a training base..."

Alice muttered these things, but Sissy was by her side after all, so there were some things that couldn't be mentioned, such as the work at Black Lagoon.

After more than half a year of adaptation period, Dach has started his own smuggling business in a mighty way.

He did not know what method he had used to establish a deep friendship with the sub-helm of the Xiangjiang Triad in Roanapura, Thailand, and began to transport various "goods" to their helm owner brother. Of course, Daqi would never do some extreme things without Alice reminding him, such as human trafficking, but if it was general smuggling, according to him, he would occasionally involve it.

Alice knew that Dutch must be a smart person, and people with low EQ could not do this kind of work, so she knew that this old comrade of Uncle Akaman must have guessed his own psychology a lot.

A talented girl who is not short of money at all, and who has prospered through real business, suddenly sends someone to do smuggling business, is it just greedy for that little cash flow?

Of course, Alice wasn't sure how much Daqi could guess, and what exactly he guessed. When it comes to cash flow, there really is this element. In the past half a year, Da Qi brought Alice a cash income of 7 million yuan with just one person and a guided missile torpedo boat!

This is just the beginning of the business, and it is an allocation of one person and one boat. The seven million yuan not only replenished Alice's investment, but also increased her total assets by at least two million dollars in cash. And its actual operating cost is nothing more than Daqi driving a speedboat between various places. Throwing aside someone's own safety, this income is really easy to come by!

Of course, of course, what Daqi will transport is not "low-grade goods" such as undeclared mobile phones, nor is it just "mere drugs". As a person who was ordered by Alice to work in Roana Pura, a place full of **** fights everywhere, there are too many things that can be transported.

For example, arresting traitors from the triad society and transporting them back would cost 300,000 yuan.

Well, as for the fate of this traitor, neither Dach nor Alice cares.

Therefore, this naturally involves Alice's second purpose, and she guessed that Dach could also realize this level.

That is, from a global perspective, we have a better control over the global situation.

For example, Alice has basically figured out its organizational divisions and main business of the triad society she encountered earlier in Big SH.

The triad society originated from the Tiandihui hundreds of years ago, and its actual source has long since disappeared. But today's it has a special feature in its organizational structure, that is, it is established on the basis of overseas Chinese from all over the world, and it is born with the nature of "separate helms all over the world, and brothers all over the world".

From the perspective of the origin of the formation, whether it is the United States, Europe, Britain, France, or even the islands of Southeast Asia, Chinese people everywhere must have their own gangs. And the re-formation of the entire triad is nothing more than the existence of such an alliance.

Well, it's similar to the pirate alliance in Pirates of the Caribbean, no one agrees with the other, it's just that they are forced to gather together by external factors.

Such an organization, of course, would not regard human trafficking as its main business, but it is still easy to get involved in drugs, smuggling, and control a bunch of casinos, nightclubs, and Li Chun Yuan. Just as a large amount of the Yamaguchi-gumi's funds come from Kabukicho, at least it should not be too evil on a macro level, otherwise the image will be too bad.

What is the use of such a channel, Alice is still not sure, but it is better to know than not to know, there is no doubt about it. At the very least, she now knows the addresses of the Los Angeles and San Francisco branches of the Triad, maybe she can drop by later?

"Well, what are you busy with during the winter vacation..."

In her mind, she made a judgment on the current business of Black Lagoon. Facing the question that Sissy raised now, after thinking about it, Alice slammed her palm: "I don't know either!"

"Go to hell."

Seeing that she had asked such a result, Sissy curled her lips in dissatisfaction, but then, she didn't know what she thought of, or was blown by the cold air, her pretty face flushed somewhat.

"Well, I say."

She leaned closer to Alice, but she wasn't so close as to be suspicious, just like an ordinary girlfriend: "Why don't we... go to RB during the winter vacation?"

Alice wrapped her arms around Sissy's waist: "How do you say that?"

"Look, three days ago, that editor at Kodansha hung up on you again."

"Yamamoto, uh-huh, then what?"

"Since you've been talking about investing in RB lately, and the book "After School" is about to be released, you should go to RB for a walk, right? Not to mention that you haven't seen Kodansha yet. Helping editors, invest, and you have saved a lot of money in the past six months, since you want to spend all of it, can you not see the investment projects yourself?"

"Well, that's exactly what I said."

Alice touched her chin.

The RB financial bubble after the Plaza Accord is a great opportunity to make money, and of course she is deeply moved by this. For example, the most obvious real estate, from last year to this moment, the price has increased by more than half, and this is only the end of 1986, and there is still a long time before the last 1991, it is simply a through train to heaven!

Of course, considering that it will fall at least twice in the future, this is also a through train from hell.

But as long as we grasp it well, it will not be a problem to withdraw the funds in 1991.

Well, withdraw it and buy it back after the price plummets...

Then it's all yours...

For such a feast that can at least double her assets, Alice began to save money as early as March when Microsoft went public.

First of all, the largest share is naturally the dividends since Microsoft went public. This company, which had raked in 60 million US dollars on the day of its listing, had brought Alice a total of 70 million yuan in cash as of November. Of course, Gates, as the largest shareholder, must be more than this number, which is dozens of times higher than his goal of "becoming a millionaire at the age of 30".

Although Cisco has not yet been listed, the profit margin of the product is too high. The wholesale price of the Intel processor, coupled with the extremely cheap basic hardware materials, insists on what accounts for the largest proportion of the cost, and it is nothing more than the group of programmers. salary.

A router with a unit price of 2,000 yuan can have a net profit of at least 1,500 yuan, and a switch with a unit price of 4,000 yuan can also achieve a net profit of more than 3,000 US dollars. Therefore, it is no wonder that in the official history, Cisco launched its first product in only three or two years, and was able to start listing with an annual profit of more than 60 million yuan. It's really because this industry is really too profitable.

Although Alice is not sure how the original Cisco was priced, the so-called selling price has nothing to do with the cost. As long as her 2,000 yuan or 4,000 yuan can be recognized by the market, then this price will be used.

Therefore, although Cisco is still an unlisted company, its leading position in the industry and its status as the largest merchant in the country still brought Alice the same cash accumulation of 50 million US dollars!

This is the remaining amount after throwing away various investments for "Alien 2" and investments in many industries such as Blackwater International and Black Reef Trading.

In this way, Alice looked up at the sky with her chin in her hands, and said with a smirk, "It's more than a billion. Speaking of which, Sissy, don't you think Fortune Magazine can interview me about this?"

Sissy snorted noncommittally: "Look at you."
