The Goddess Shines on America

"Then let's get down to business," Alice said after the embarrassing laughter ended, "What is your plan for the 300 million U.S. dollars in government funding?"

Everyone knows that they must avoid private transactions between officials and businessmen in name in all aspects. If it's a government contractor, then everything works fine, but what's going on now is that the development of Blackwater International is being accelerated and tied to the giant truck of the Ministry of Defense for the sake of accelerating the end of the Iran-Iraq war and the greater good in the future. On the Macaron chariot. Then, the title of this support fund must be carefully considered.

"We have listed six options in total," Minister Weinberg said, "For example, Plan A, where the government directly acquires your company; To tinge it with an official tinge would defeat our purpose."

"Then there is Plan B, where members of Congress persuade venture capitalists to invest in your company, that is, financing under the direct supervision of the government. Of course, the relevant companies will definitely be insiders, but I can't reveal too much to you now. many."

"Plan C..."

"Maybe we can sell some treasury bonds privately." Alice interrupted: "The three-month and six-month treasury bills are auctioned every Monday. As for the price, the U.S. treasury bonds have a history of hundreds of years, of course you are very clear. Like option stocks, you can ask me to buy some at an internal price before the auction, and then I sell them to earn the difference after the auction, won’t this be able to raise enough funds?”

Weinberg raised his eyebrows: "We haven't considered this method, Mr. President?"

Although they were all sending money to Alice, the national debt issue was much more complicated than the simple investment in the Ministry of Defense. Everyone immediately focused their attention on Reagan.

"National debt," Reagan said slowly after a moment of silence, "Alice, do you want to develop into Wall Street?"

Like a farce, the people at the table turned their heads in unison, and once again turned their attention to the girl at the bottom.

"The power of finance is terrifying," Alice said with a calm smile, "I know that if you want to take this route, you will inevitably have to greet many bigwigs on Wall Street. Here you are, as long as you have an introducer from the House of Representatives of sufficient weight. Mr. Weinberg..."

She looked at the Minister of Defense and said, "Maryland is that big. I believe that the current congressman, Mr. Ronald Mark, must have close ties with Lockheed Corporation, and Congressman Congers of New York State must have close ties with Wall Street." .With the two of them here, it should be easy to connect with each other, right?"

The soldiers might still be a little confused, but Reagan smiled more satisfied.

Guaranteed by two congressmen, the armaments giant Lockheed was brought in, and it was vaguely revealed that this was the will of the higher authorities, and that the relevant investment banks could indeed cooperate with the actions of the Ministry of Defense. During the whole process, Alice herself promised to personally deal with those bank tycoons, plus she would inevitably have contact with the Ministry of Commerce, it could be described as a beautiful plan that killed two birds with one stone!

Networking is extremely important at all times, isn't it?

Weinberg, who immediately came back to his senses, and even two generals present with four stars on their shoulders nodded to Reagan.

She is indeed a young girl worth cultivating. Although the racial issue is worthy of attention, she is not a rootless person who just came to study abroad from the other side of the ocean, or just came to this capital with a green card.

Of course, the core reason for this must be Cisco's potential value, and Alice's threat just now has another effect.

The Department of Defense certainly hasn't been sitting idle since the IBM revelation last March. While the judiciary was harassing that company every now and then, people from the Information Technology Security Department were also desperately strengthening the security of the military network, and kept getting more follow-up investigation reports from the FBI. In this whole incident, the role played by Cisco and Alice became more and more obvious.

It can be believed that if it wasn’t for Alice’s doubts through the company’s orders, coupled with her own capable technical cooperation, no one would have been able to discover the behind-the-scenes of Microsoft’s listing. Furthermore, if she hadn't exposed IBM, then the world's financial community would have been directly exposed to that company that had already plotted once!

Then, when Defense Department computer experts pored over all the details, they submitted a report to Weinberg and other executives.

First, Cisco's nationwide trial production share, and the data of other almost non-threatening peer companies.

Second, the program code of Cisco products. According to the reports of the experts, on the premise that the quality of its products is far superior to that of its peers, the degree of code refinement is far from comparable to the industry's general level. And such a product and its code were made by Alice herself.

Third, computer experts from the Department of Defense can also hack the Nasdaq exchange, but no one has thought of doing it before. In other words, before the "firewall" product is widely used, the entire Cisco company and even Alice herself can invade the financial markets of the world anytime and anywhere. The concept and research and development of the firewall was proposed by Alice and Cisco was responsible for it.

So there is no doubt that this girl is simply more important than the president!

You never know the full extent of things until you see them.

So here comes the question: Should such a character be obliterated, or fostered?

Any politician would make the same choice as long as his brain is not kicked by the donkey.

Well, yes, any politician, as for other capitalists... It seems that in the information technology industry, Alice herself is already a small big capitalist?

Well, well, the battle between capitalists is left to the capitalists, and the politicians just pick up the thick thighs.

There are always more behind-the-scenes stories than front-stage ones. Alice doesn't know anything about the stories that have to be told between the White House, Congress, and the Pentagon over the past year. Because she doesn't need to understand at all, because politicians can only win over capitalists, and all she needs to pay attention to are problems in the market.

So the agreement was settled like this, and the National Debt Bureau will be summoned by the President himself to say hello. And considering that the people buy national bonds through financial institutions after all, Congressman Congers is also responsible for introducing people from Wall Street to Alice. After all, only through the resale of bonds can the batch purchased at internal prices be sold at high prices Selling, this can not do without the internal operation of relevant institutions.

The process was undoubtedly a lot of trouble, because Alice made it clear that she wanted to use this as a springboard to get involved with Wall Street. For this kind of thing, the people of the Ministry of National Defense are of course indifferent, because it is the president and congressmen who need to be busy, and they are only responsible for appropriating funds.

As for the New York State youth Congressman Congers who has only been in office for two years, of course he is very happy to get to know Alice, a small rich man from a leading company in an emerging industry, and it is too late to thank him.

And the bankers on Wall Street are also eager to get the IPO of Cisco, which has not yet been listed. Who would not be willing to do Alice such a favor?

What a wishful thinking, President Reagan, who analyzed all these details, happily explained all the ins and outs to his wife that night when he returned home.

Of course, just when Reagan, who had just returned from the Pentagon and returned to the White House after work, was talking about Alice to his wife and children, the girl herself sat on the dining table at the home of Vice President Bush Sr. again.

"I know people on Wall Street!"

Holding his glass of wine, Bush Jr. said in a sharp voice: "You don't need to find Congers at all. I have a lot of connections on Wall Street, including branches of Citigroup, Bank of America, Mitsubishi JR, and..."

"George, we need to give Congers a favor."

Old Bush was cutting the steak slowly. Tonight's one has a lot of pepper, and the spicy smell can be smelled from a long distance: "Our base is in Texas. When Alice wants to make a cowboy movie, we will continue to eat it." It's not too late to help."

"Hehe, thank you, thank you. In fact, I really have a lot of material about cowboy movies. My father is an expert on the history of American cowboys."

Alice took a sip of the fruit wine and suddenly rolled her eyes: "By the way, George, since you said you know a lot of people on Wall Street, Grayson Company, do you know them?"

"Greyson?"

It is indeed a well-known company, and Bush Jr. immediately identified the target: "August Grayson's company that invests in oil? Do you know it?"

"His son Conrad is my alumnus at Eton. He just graduated this summer. By the way, so is our Maiya~"

She is really good at changing the subject, Alice suddenly looked at Bush Sr. with bright eyes, and grinned: "Yes, yes, Old George, please help me, I have a good sister who wants to go to West Point Military Academy, you give her Write a letter of recommendation~"

"West Point?"

Bush couldn't help laughing: "One of your...girlfriend? Good guy, that's a really good girl. No problem, of course no problem, it's just a letter of recommendation, do you want me to ask Weinberg to sign it too? A little? I think he would be very happy."

Nonsense, my old lady just saved your life, how dare you not sign it, be careful to cut off your tendons with a chakra scalpel!

Muttering so much, Alice took another sip of some fruit wine, turned to look at Bush Jr., and withdrew the topic of crooked buildings again: "That's right, that's right, since we're talking about Grayson, let's talk about you Bush Oil's losses?"

So, Alice was very satisfied to see that Bush Jr.'s eyes also lit up.
