The Goddess Shines on America

To say that the two concepts of news and rivers and lakes have always complemented each other, and they have always been so interesting.

Unless a certain event becomes a real big news, and the city, country, and even the world's media rush to report it, except for those who pay special attention to it, few people will pay attention to it.

No matter how small the circle is, such as three or five gangs in one class in a school, if a person is an insider, that is his world. No matter how big the circle is, such as the entire entertainment circle or the financial world or even any industry, if a person is not an insider, even if a big news breaks out, he will have no way of knowing it.

Alice Wang shines in the technology circle. For any Silicon Valley worker, it is impossible not to have heard of the rise of Cisco in the past two years.

A company that has only been established for four years has been listed for a full year. With its excellent products, it has rapidly expanded its market, and the soaring market value is second to none in Nasdaq. For people in the technology and financial circles, the potential value and significance of this person, this company, and this stock are too rich.

It's a pity that the girl herself is still very low-key on weekdays, after all, she is only a middle school student.

In terms of the daily operation of the enterprise, Cisco has its own professional managers who are in charge of routine projects, including those other industries under Alice, and those who directly contact all walks of life on a daily basis are also their respective direct managers. Although there are opportunities for outsiders to get in touch with her personally, the average is inevitably not high.

Under such circumstances, some things that use Alice herself as a business card are naturally extraordinarily eye-catching.

For example, a magical novel called "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" will be published soon!

This is a very strange phenomenon, because no matter which author publishes which book, in the final analysis, this is just news in the field of entertainment. Even more precisely, this is only a matter for scholars, and the number of fans is more than an order of magnitude worse than the new works of Hollywood movie stars.

But even though this is a relatively small circle, as long as people with a heart pay special attention to it, it is a whole world.

In fact, from the perspective of book publishing frequency, Alice's creative speed can only be regarded as good. Although there was only half a year between her first book, "Jurassic Park" and her second book, "Blood Fairy Tales", and the thickness of her works was quite high, until this book "Harry Potter" When "Special" was born, people waited anxiously for years.

Yes, two books with 300,000 words have been published in four years, plus a relatively thin Japanese mystery story, and now this children's magic book with 500,000 words, this speed is only good.

After all, for a truly prolific full-time writer, the amount of creation every day is extremely amazing. As Stephen King said, even if he is not formally creating, he will type out 5,000 words every day, and there are only two rest days throughout the year, one on July 4th and one on his own birthday.

Therefore, purely from the perspective of the field of professional writers, in four years, two copies of 300,000 yuan, one book of more than 100,000 yuan, and now one book of 500,000 yuan, Alice's writing speed can only be called "good" .

But after all, no one can look at one thing in a single way.

Is there any part-time job?

A girl who is only nearly seventeen years old now, while developing her career in the technology industry to the scale it is today, has been on the "New York Times" bestseller list twice through part-time writing!

When an ordinary writer publishes a book, it is only a matter of the reading world, but when she writes a book, it really touches the hearts of many people.

You know, this teenage entrepreneur is not just writing about business management, but a serious storybook. Biological science fiction, vampire love, Japanese-style school reasoning, and now children's school magic, her audience crosses the barriers of all industries, pointing directly at the heart of each individual!

People in the tech world buy her books, whether they are employees, partners, or competitors; Buy her books, whether the girl is in her school or not...

Accountants, lawyers, doctors, civil servants, salespeople, anyone from all walks of life had the opportunity to buy her novels. "Jurassic Park" can appeal to all men interested in science fiction, and women who are looking for thrills; "The number of books published in the United States is limited, but it will be a matter of time for reasoning lovers to pay attention to this work that won the Edogawa Rampo Award.

The industry is limited, but the influence is unlimited. No matter what industry a person is engaged in, with the continuous publication of Alice's novels on various subjects, more and more people can at least be familiar with her name.

And now, the first part of "Harry Potter", which is "supposedly" to be published in a long-form magical manner, is going to be released "in advance".

"So fast?"

Jamie's mother was very surprised when she heard the news: "Didn't we go to the new book promotion meeting last month? It will be officially published so soon?"

"Actually, this speed is normal," Jamie's father flipped through the newspaper and said, "The publicity campaign can't last too long. What this thing needs is not time, but efficiency. One month's work is enough, isn't it, Jay?" rice?"

This is the living room. It's breakfast time. Twelve-year-old Jamie held a knife and fork and said happily: "Dad, Dad, when will we buy the book back? Amy and I have agreed to read it together. You Don't let me be left behind!"

Oh, and our dear Jamie actually mentioned little Amy.

The couple looked at each other and smiled, and within a month, their son became good friends with the girl they met in the bookstore. Although it was just a trial booklet, and the whole book was worth one chapter, it became the most important topic in the daily life of these two children.

Look, the boy who is usually bothered to help his parents answer the phone, recently just stood in the corridor without moving. And every time when the couple passed by, he would cover his mouth mysteriously and mutter, for fear that others would overhear him.

Whether it is from reading or making friends, or making friends in any sense, isn't this a good thing?

"Okay!" So Jamie's father immediately agreed: "The newspaper says it's 8:30 tomorrow morning, right? Jamie, let's go shopping with Dad, maybe you can meet little Amy there again?"

The father intends to tease his son, but I'm afraid his wishful thinking will come to nothing. Although Jamie has made a "little girlfriend", he is only twelve years old after all, how can he associate this relationship too ambiguously?

Then the next day, early in the morning, Jamie's family, who lived in Temple, a satellite city of Los Angeles, happily headed towards the city center.

"It's a pity that Alice Wang didn't hold a new book signing event." Jamie's mother, the co-pilot of the car, felt very regretful: "Otherwise I can see her. That "Blood Fairy Tale" is really well written, Bourbon, you know how many times I've seen it."

"But she's not a professional writer after all." Jamie's father was driving the car. Even though it was a weekend, the road was still full of cars in the morning: "The child is still in school, and there are still companies that need to be managed. We have to understand."

"Dad, Dad." Jamie said in the back seat: "Then do you know which school Elder Sister Alice attends?"

"Haha, how would I know that?" Jamie's father drove up the viaduct: "But Jane, do you think that kid might be admitted to college?"

"Alice-Wang is going to university?" This question came a bit suddenly, and Jamie's mother was stumped, and even her son's voice calling McDonald's was ignored: "Should she be able to attend? Could she still not attend? Bourbon, it's a bit strange for you to ask this question."

"That's not necessarily the case." When my father said it energetically: "You have to see what the purpose of her going to college is. If it is just to experience college life, it is indeed possible, but if you want to learn to find a job, you have to Say she might have wasted these four years?"

It was really like this, Jamie's mother understood after a little thought. Regardless of the fact that she is currently taking care of her son full-time at home, her husband is also a salesperson of a large company. As a husband with a wide range of knowledge, of course his wife can also subtly influence her.

"Like Bill Gates? They're really in the same category in that respect, but Alice-Wong is years ahead."

It’s been many years, Jamie’s mother said with a wry smile: “But I think it’s okay to go to college a little bit, right? I heard that Gates dropped out of school because law was boring, and then he founded the Microsoft company. .But now that Alice Wang is still in middle school, why should she choose a major that she likes?"

"Haha, then she may go directly to become a computer professor!" Jamie's father laughed loudly: "Let your peers be your teacher, or the title of professor! If this happens, it will almost be an adult It's news! No, no, I have to quickly switch careers and become a reporter, this is obviously big news!"

"Don't think about those things, drive seriously!" Seeing that her husband had skidded the car, Jamie's mother hurriedly reprimanded: "Still being a reporter! Do you think that a career is enough to have a good mouth and a drive? You know how to write Press releases? Alice can play part-time jobs, so you should sell your range hood honestly."

Well, that's right, Jamie's father is a salesman working in a home appliance company~

"Okay, listen to you."

Still smiling brightly, Jamie's father kept the steering wheel steady and accelerated towards his destination.
