The Goddess Shines on America

After understanding the cause and effect, Sophie immediately fell asleep. Anyway, I was working for my daughter, and the other person was not in a hurry to ask for things—it was not really in a hurry, so why did I bother to get up several hours early?

Sophie went back to sleep, and of course Alice had other things to do. By the time a series of documents were finally faxed, it was already evening in England.

After getting up to eat and then working, Sophie was able to send all the materials before noon, and the efficiency was already very fast.

Information is classified according to the degree of detail, and each company can write a special book, or it can be concise. But the summaries of more than a dozen companies were sent in one go, and the thickness of an inch should be there. After all, what Alice wants to see is not just the financial statements.

Anyway, the actual number of customers in this research institute is limited, and the boy at the front desk, Brody, has become Alice's handsome secretary. McDonald's fast food is served with a pot of strong tea, and after filling his stomach, Alice continues to be busy all day. .

In fact, the so-called overall planning is mainly in the construction of the headquarters building. As long as there is a core office area, all companies in the company can throw branches and offices over, even if she expands the number of investment companies to all the top 500 employees in the future, she can manage them with a wave of her hand.

After nearly a semester of construction, the seven-story basement, five-story podium and twenty-five floors above the ground have been completed, that is, the height of about 150 meters has been erected. According to common projects, an ordinary super high-rise building has basically been completed.

So the progress of the project really depends on how much the capitalists are willing to spend, not whether the workers like to be lazy or not. Don't look at the fact that American businessmen are shouting about the high domestic labor costs every day. They actually just want to save a little bit.

Like the quintessential apple. At its peak, its cash reserves exceeded 200 billion U.S. dollars, but it still relies on the Cayman Islands to avoid taxes. So what can the money be used for?

On the contrary, it can be used to acquire companies and plan large-scale projects, but people with discerning eyes are staring at it. This thick stack of cash reserves can only increase, not decrease.

There is no shortage of money but you still have to save money desperately, and the money you save is truly inexhaustible, but you still have to save money. So, listen to some capitalists complaining about the high cost every day, just listen to it, and don't take it seriously. The rise of the middle class and the improvement of welfare benefits do not mean that the capitalist class is really good people~

But Alice was different.

For one thing, she is too young, and the difficulty of making money is too low, and she knows better about the future investment hotspots, so she has no concept of saving money at all.

Secondly, whether it is the construction of the Computer Research Institute, the Underground Drug Research Institute, or the current building, they are all built to directly promote her career itself, not an ordinary project for a real estate developer to build a house and sell it for money.

It’s just about spending money wisely. For Alice, these buildings that can be surface buildings are exactly the knife-edge parts. No matter how much money is spent, it’s worth it. What's more, with such a faster speed to build a super high-rise building with quality and quantity, the records in the history books will be more colorful.

"One hundred and fifty meters in one semester, this speed is indeed enough. A 630-meter building takes one year to build the shell, and then it takes half a year to a year to complete the decoration and then put it into use. A total of two years before and after. Nian... tsk tsk, it's all made of money~"

It's really thanks to her knowing how much money Microsoft and Cisco can distribute to herself every year. As an ordinary entrepreneur, how can she be willing to spend so many billions of dollars just to speed up the construction of this building?

But this is business, and it is very similar to the conservation of mass and energy. Don't look at her spending hundreds of millions more on building buildings now. After Microsoft, Cisco and other companies flourish in the future, don't those builders who have made money from her have to send the money back to her pocket?

People, take a long view~

Facing the one-inch-thick material, Alice naturally had to focus on it.

What's the point?

It is not the big companies that are getting more and more prosperous, they are already on the right track, but the smaller companies that need to be looked at.

Adobe and Autodesk, two graphics software companies, have completed their merger, and the new registered name is Autodesk\u0026Adobe. Up to now, the new shares with the abbreviation code A\u0026A have been listed on the Nasdaq Exchange again, and the current results are quite good.

In terms of new products, of course, it is a matter that needs to be continued. For Adobe, Alice didn't take care of it at all. Anyway, they will soon launch various versions of PS. The only slightly interesting thing is the problem of Maya.

Well, yes, Autodesk-Maya.

As early as when Cameron was filming "Alien 2", Alice tapped the code to make this video special effects software. Fortunately, she has bought Autodesk now, otherwise this pirated version is really amazing.

As for the surprise when she handed over this powerful software with only her own name on it to Autodesk founder John Warnock, the other party was pleasantly surprised. Although limited by the performance and popularity of computers, Maya has not much use for it now, but anyone who has watched "Alien 2", who can't imagine its prospects?

As for how much profit it can bring to yourself every year with this market value... Well, Alice said, I will calculate when your total amount reaches one billion US dollars.

Throwing this document aside, after thinking about it, she picked up Oscar \u0026 Hannah's report after falling to the ground.

There is no other reason, among all the companies that Sophie handles, this is what she cares most about, after all, it bears the names of her two children. So when compiling this report, the mother must fill in a lot of private things for the eldest daughter, such as the judgment of China's overall economic situation.

This is Alice's main concern.

Looking at the development process of China's economy after the founding of the People's Republic of China, until the 1980s, it was all a journey of industrialization. As early as 1952, the proportions of the three major industries in the country were 50% for the primary industry, 20% for the secondary industry, and 30% for the tertiary industry. And until 1980, the proportion of the secondary industry had soared to 48%, approaching half!

Therefore, while the total population of the country continues to soar, such an increase in proportion will naturally come at the cost of a substantial reduction in the tertiary industry. In the same year, the ratio of China's tertiary industry was only about 21%, which was much lower than that in 1952.

Therefore, looking at the entire 1980s after the reform and opening up, it is naturally the process of the re-emergence of the tertiary industry.

Sophie's data is clear. As of December this year, the ratio of China's tertiary industry has risen to 30%.

Of course, Sophie didn't have the energy to write an evaluation report for her daughter, and the idea was for Alice to do it herself.

As for ideas...

Don't think that this ratio will soar again.

After all, the tertiary industry is based on the first two items. Facts have proved that from 1989 to 1996, the ratio of China's tertiary industry just played a parabola, rising from 32% to 34% and then falling back to the original point. There was even an ultra-low point of 31%. After a long time, it was all a mess.

That is, since 1997, this ratio has only started to increase steadily from 34% to break through the 40% threshold. Then, during the entire period from 2002 to 2008, it has been fluctuating in the range of 40% to 42%. Then it started to soar again in 2009, and as of 2014, it boomed to an astonishing 48%.

So, what use does this information have for Alice?

Of course, it is related to how she invests in China.

So far, she has only thrown two sums of money in China.

A clothing chain store, let's make a fuss.

Then there is Huawei. According to a recent report from Ren Zhengfei, he is feeling quite prosperous. Although Alice did almost nothing to help, the capital injection of tens of thousands of dollars—when Lao Ren registered the company, he only received 20,000 yuan in total—is enough for him to act as an agent of program-controlled switches in Hong Kong.

But when it comes to his business...it's kind of funny.

Switch eh.

Huawei, which Alice invested in, even went to Hong Kong to represent her old rival, Lucent Technology's similar products.

Well, yes, Cisco, as a listed company, does not keep its overseas market firmly focused on China. The reason... well, of course, is self-evident.

In fact, this is a good thing.

After all, as long as there are no accidents, Huawei will definitely develop into China's Cisco step by step. Well, since it is already China's "Cisco", if it still has too close a relationship with "true-Cisco", even if the United States does not say anything, the anti-monopoly law of the Party Central Committee may also cause trouble.

So, let Ren Zhengfei, who doesn't know anything, go figure it out on his own!

Alice, an angel investor, only intends to be a pure shareholder!

To be reasonable, for a long time, how many people have not known that 60% of Alibaba's shares are held by Son Masayoshi, a Japanese-Korean descendant, and his investment company Softbank?

Oh yes, and SoftBank.

Wherever the thought goes, open the document.

Although these are still in the embryonic stage, isn't it interesting to watch the baby grow up step by step?

There is nothing to write about the relevant documents in time. Because Alice simply repaid the debt for Masayoshi Son, and then bought shares by the way, the company's development level is still the same as before.

In other words, unless she takes the initiative to add fuel to the flames, otherwise this investment institution, which will be fully developed by Alibaba in the future, will have to wait until 1994 before it can go public.

And the funds raised at that time were only 140 million US dollars.

Well, it is enough to inject capital into Jack Ma.

So, for Sun Zhengyi now, Alice just glanced at him and threw him aside.
