The Pentagon's $10 million follow-up research and development fund for the Firewall arrived quickly, only five days after Alice left Washington. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info can see that their need for this so-called network security protocol system is indeed very urgent.

High efficiency should be, after all, from the nature of the research and development of this product is not just a matter of the Ministry of Defense, because cyber security is a matter of more than just national defense.

At the very least, the biggest difference between the NSA and the CIA is that the former mainly relies on listening to all kinds of communication equipment, and when the Internet age comes, they need firewalls more than anyone else.

But as of now, Alice is still relieved to realize that the NSA is not planning to play any secret cooperation with her. Even if it is the development of firewalls, in the end, it will definitely be divided into two parts: military and civilian, instead of signing a non-disclosure agreement to play conspiracy theories.

As for the reason, it is very simple, firstly, Cisco is not even a listed company after all, and secondly, the 80s are different from the 21st century. It's also funny to say that the reason why many new industries and new company products at that time were able to develop so quickly and promote so quickly was precisely because they took the free ride of the Internet.

However, although the $10 million was deposited into Cisco's corporate account, it was transferred to another corporate account.

"Blackwater International's start-up funding is already available. ”

On an early July afternoon, in the outdoor lounge area of a café on Sunset Boulevard, Alice said to Akaman, who was sitting opposite, "But in terms of start-up team, of course, it's okay in terms of ten qualities......

At this time, Alice was in front of a list of fifteen elite people selected by Akaman from among retired Delta Force members and Vietnam veterans after searching for his own connections. In addition to the basic name and avatar, Akaman also recorded in great detail what each person excelled in.

"But isn't there too little? Fifteen is enough?"

Ackman briefly looked at the bank receipt, which recorded the paid-in capital that Alice had invested in Blackwater International in the name of "Corporate Investment" and in the registered name of Cisco. So theoretically, Alice is not a shareholder of Blackwater International, its shareholder is the entire Cisco Systems company, but Alice's shares in Cisco are particularly large.

"As an instructor, fifteen is enough. ”

Akman replied affirmatively: "When the boot camp is trained, it is basically based on the company, and a company has an average of 100 people, but only one or two instructors can manage it. Fifteen instructors, at least four to five hundred people training scale, Alice, hundreds of people training at the same time, think about what kind of concept this is. ”

Alice held her chin in her hand and snorted: "One or two infantry battalions, but, as a newly established company, it is okay to shoot two infantry battalion security guards in one go." So uncle, in terms of the construction of the training center, do you want a special architect, or what?"

"You don't need any designers, kid. ”

Akaman laughed and said: "It's just a training venue, if you really want to talk about designers, how can we make a few of us design more professional?"

"But after all, we are an enterprise, and we still need to pay attention to the architectural modeling and front desk decoration of the company's headquarters. ”

Alice said: "After all, we must have been in the business of providing security for the wealthy in the early days, and if we build the company building in tatters and the front desk is even more rudimentary, how can we make customers trust our strength?"

Akaman thought about it, but he also felt reasonable: "Then what do you want to do? I'm only a 5% CEO, and this kind of big thing has to be left to you, girl." ”

Both of them were talking in low voices, after all, although the content of their conversation itself was not a secret, Alice's figure and appearance were here after all. At the next table, there is a couple in the open-air lounge area of the café where they are dating, and anyone who talks about this kind of content in a loud voice has to be watched by the people at the surrounding table as animals.

"Since it's a security company, and you can easily get on the mercenary route, you still have to be rough enough. ”

Alice pondered: "The shape of the headquarters building is a pure black cube building, and the registered place is in North Carolina, and the land price there is cheap anyway." ”

It was Alice who came up with the idea, and it was Akaman who carried it out, and he wrote down the request in a notepad: "Pure black cube, what about the material?"

"It's going to have to be stone, so it's going to be textured, and we're going to build a helipad on top of the building. In addition, I will meet the people of General Dynamics before the start of school, and I will buy a batch of arms and equipment from them!"

"It's better for me to go for this business. ”

Akaman smiled slightly and rejected Alice's idea: "The little girl looking for a military enterprise to buy weapons is like a little boy going to buy Victoria's Secret, it's too funny." Let me and those old fellows come forward, after all, after the equipment is in hand, we will use it, what do you say?"

Alice agreed after a little thought: "That's right, after all, you know better what will be used in the training process." Moreover, since the employees are given priority to recruit retired soldiers, it must be the training of real guys from the beginning. Uncle Levier, do you have any thoughts on the purchase list?"

"Soviet AKs and our carbines, as well as rockets, machine guns, pistols of various models, these are the most basic. Employees of security companies are nothing more than two kinds of daily life, one is to go on missions, including being a bodyguard for a wealthy person or a company, and galloping on the battlefield as a mercenary, and the other is to constantly train in the company. ”

Akaman looked at Alice with satisfaction, and his eyes seemed to wish she was his daughter: "Alice, since you can rely on Cisco and the people in the White House to connect with us, then when our company develops, big orders of mercenary nature will follow, I have to build a training system from the beginning, otherwise it will drag you back." ”

For this kind of look of Akaman, Alice has long been accustomed to it. Whether it is Sissi's father, or Ashley's entire Italian family, which relatives don't wish she was also their daughter? Such a girl who has achieved great things at such a young age is enough to make parents all over the world dream of her.

"Oh~ Then it's done, I'll give you this 10 million, and I'll spend it!Uncle Levier, don't save me for me~"

"Okay, I'll go and contact the relevant channels. ”

Akaman looked at the time, stuffed the notepad back into his purse, picked up the coffee cup, and said, "First of all, the construction of the company's headquarters and training center, and in a few months, my brothers and I will stay in North Carolina and not leave. Alice, hang up the phone for me when you're going to the UK, and I'll want to drop off my daughter at the airport. ”

"No problem, it's on me. ”

The two got up at the same time, and Alice handed a hundred-dollar bill to the waiter: "Katie, the excess is for your consumption, tell Tom that the cappuccino can be thicker." ”

"No problem, Miss Alice. ”

The girl with her blonde braids smiled at her and walked into the store quickly.

Akaman looked left and right, and only then did he notice that a sweeper at the front door of the coffee shop was smiling at Alice, "What's the matter?

"Bought it a long time ago, my dear Uncle Levi. ”

Alice cried and laughed: "Didn't you see that 'Laurina' is opposite our dream factory, and this is a good store, and the transaction price is 300,000!"

"Yes...... Hm. ”

Akkaman waved his hand happily, then got into his car and took his leave.

Then, naturally, Alice set her sights on the building in front of her, ready to move DreamWorks once she had already chosen a new location.

As early as the morning, Cameron hung up a phone call, asking Alice to come to the company in the afternoon to talk about the details of the preparation of "Alien II", or she would not have chosen the meeting place with Ackman here. Now, after the former is basically done, it's time to move on to the next task.

"Gee, why am I so busy. ”

When the girl in a cool short skirt walked into the front desk hall, the clerk sitting behind the front desk, McMillan, raised his head: "Hey, isn't this Alice?"

Alice beckoned to him, "Hey Mike, did Cameron ask you to leave me another letter? Where is that kid now?"

"It's in the conference room on the fourth floor, Alice. ”

McMillan replied, and then, as if suddenly something had come to mind, suddenly snorted.

Alice was just about to walk to the elevator when she turned around and said, "What's wrong?

"Oh, no, no. ”

McMillan was a little excited, and seeing that Alice had just stopped, he asked tentatively, "I just wanted to ask, Alice, when will you be able to write another novel?"

"Novels?"

Alice paused for a moment before she reacted: "You also read my book, which one, is it Jurassic or vampire?"

"I love them all!"

McMillan replied simply: "And Alice, your subject matter spans so much, one is a sci-fi thriller, the other is a magical thriller and love, so what about the next book?"

Well, next book.

Speaking of which, I haven't copied anything for a while.

Alice thought for a while: "It's okay to tell you, but keep it a secret~" (To be continued.) )
