Chapter 619, the beginning of midsummer, it's starting to get hot
In June, Japan ushered in something that was not important to us, but it did have important news. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Another large and rapidly rising company founded by Alice Wang, Umbrella Pharmaceuticals has officially gone public.
Due to its current flagship product, the status of weight loss drugs in the industry, and the relationship between Cisco routers in the field of Internet hardware is very similar, so many shareholders have long been looking forward to its first day of listing. And it's clear that the number of potential shareholders in this round is definitely bigger than when Cisco went public.
The company went public in the UK, which made many Wall Street people unhappy, but it could not stop the flow of greedy money. On the closing day, The Times and the Wall Street Journal commented that Alice finally had a second "Cisco", a newly established and fast-rising personal company.
At that time, Cisco, based in San Jose, had grown for about five years and had spread its sophisticated and meticulous industrial chain network throughout the United States, throughout Japan, and most of Europe. In countries such as Canada, Mexico, Australia and New Zealand, science parks in Nevada are being built, and the most pioneers are even starting to use Hong Kong as a pedal towards China's Pearl River Delta, where the electronic octopus is extending its tentacles into more and more areas.
What is touching is that Microsoft, which also basically has a market value of 100 billion US dollars, is lagging behind in terms of development. Its products have been Windows series operating systems from the beginning, and now basically, although the market share of series products is increasing, and the types of embedded software are also increasing, but horizontal comparison, it is inevitable that there is a feeling of inferiority.
After all, one was a company registered in the living room in eighty-four years, and there were only three people at the time, and one was a company that was established in the seventies, and it turned out to be developed rapidly through Alice.
No matter how the people compare, the umbrella has been listed, and Alice's personal worth has soared again, rising by $5 billion in half a month. Not only Fortune magazine, but even Time magazine, Forbes also interviewed Alice for her opinion on the list.
"Actually, I haven't paid attention to these things in a long time. Really, I'm in school, and the Umbrella is just starting to operate in Tokyo's science park, and there are projects that I need to participate in. If you want to say what I think, thank you for asking, I will not invest in charity. ”
"It took many years for a lot of rich people to rise, so when they got their hands on a huge amount of money, they would choose to give back to society. Internet companies are explosive, and some upstarts choose this path when they are born, because they only have one company in their hands. I'm different, the loan I'm carrying is not lower than the annual profit of the consortium, I've only been developing for six years, I'm only nineteen years old, and I still have a lot of room for expansion and areas to use money. ”
"Of course, good question, I can squeeze out spare money for charity, but I still have a reason not to. There are many ways to benefit society, and philanthropy is just one of them, and several of my major companies have a role in benefiting society. First of all, Cisco's Internet system can make the world more prosperous and create jobs, and second, think about it, the umbrella of weight loss pills alone can save millions of obese people from suffering every year, right?"
"So, if you really want me to do charity, at least wait until I'm thirty or forty. My career has been growing rapidly since the beginning, and it is not one but many companies, and the changes that I have brought to the world in the past five or six years are by no means comparable to throwing tens of millions of dollars at a public welfare project. Five or six years, this is the level, and I believe that in the next five or six years, I can still maintain this rate of development. In comparison, the act of throwing some money at a public welfare project is really insignificant. ”
It was an interview full of surprises. The host routinely asks a wealthy upstart about charity, and who would have thought that Alice would give such an absolutely non-mainstream answer. It is no wonder that the editor-in-chief will enthusiastically let the manuscript pass the review, and there is no doubt that this issue of the magazine will be unplanned.
Then practice has proved that the editor-in-chief is the editor-in-chief, and the experience in the industry is not covered.
Alice Wang's interview increased the magazine's sales by 20 percent compared to previous issues, and this was the first day. And then very quickly, because of the rapid spread of her views on charity in the article, the next day's sales increased by a full five percentage points from the original one, and that was only the next day!
Forbes, which is published every two weeks, ended up selling a full 2.5 times as much as the previous issue because of this article, which made the whole newspaper eager to tie Alice into the office, strip naked and then collectively love her once.
How many times since the magazine's inception in 1917 has it increased sales to this extent because of a personal question in an interview?
The answer is, zero!
And an answer like this naturally caused an extremely strong sensation in society.
As you know, the situation is polarized.
There are many people who scold Alice for hypocrisy, there are many who praise her true temperament, there are many people who persuade her to pay attention to her image, and there are many people who support her views. Some people have openly expressed their opinions, some have not, and those who have a heart can certainly surmise that Alice's statement has definitely won the hearts of most politicians.
Well, that's right, politicians.
To be reasonable, how many politicians are from the show?
Because participating in charity is conducive to the construction of one's own image, participation is the common fundamental reason for almost every politician when participating in charity. In the same way, how many politicians shout at the people from the podium for full protection, and all kinds of low profiles, and then turn their heads and complain in front of their subordinates about the annoyance of the people?
Alice definitely spoke their hearts to the most extent!
So here comes a very delicate question: which is more important, pleasing the common people or pleasing the higher-ups?
Alice just laughed.
To be reasonable, how many people don't know that Watsons is Li Ka-shing's?
How many people know that a product they are using is not transported by Lijia Port Logistics?
When the economic strength of the consortium reaches a certain level, it is not something you can resist if you want to.
Alice herself remembers a series of jokes.
My mother didn't let me go to KFC, which is for foreigners, and if you want to eat, you can eat Yonghe Dawang.
Dear, KFC in China has been acquired by COFCO, and Yonghe King was established in the Philippines, are you made?
In the same way, if people who don't want to buy Korean products but buy a certain domestic brand, do they know whether the company of that brand has been acquired by the United States? And whether the American company responsible for the acquisition has shares in the Korean company, and do the people know?
So she doesn't care at all whether the people boycott her products as soon as the remarks come out, because they can't resist them at all. In contrast, it is undoubtedly more important to have a good relationship with the upper echelons.
Of course, she herself will not be in the middle of some angry crowd, which is also very important.
Not long after the interview, she returned to Japan.
That's all the focus of our work.
"Whew...... Look, how spectacular!"
Standing in the doorway, Alice said.
It is an elliptical underground space with three longitudinal piers and a total of four large berths in both directions. At this moment, under the bright lights, two Typhoon-class strategic nuclear submarines are docked here.
With a total length of more than 170 meters, they are obviously giants, but they are still small in front of the standard berths of this Nimitz-class aircraft carrier.
In any case, they finally arrived, and four hundred permanently hypnotized Soviet submariners lined up in a neat line for review.
"Spectacular, even more spectacular if you ask them to put the Trident nuclear missiles on board as well. ”
At this time, standing next to Alice is Maiya, it's June, of course West Point is on vacation, and I haven't seen her for a long time, and this beauty's tanned skin is very missable.
"With the staff in place, the infrastructure in place, and the next thing is the death row test subjects, and our precious mind detector has long been hungry and thirsty. ”
After a long time, of course, Alice has made a new generation of mind detectors by hand, but neither the former nor the latter has ever been tested on humans. This is a research that can be fatal if it is not played well, and the selection of the experimental site, staff, and test subjects is all the most important work.
"Death row prisoners are not something you can easily get your hands on if you think about it. Maiya said in a timely tone: "Unless you have taken control of a serious prison and unblocked the judicial department of the relevant links." ”
Of course, this work was not carried out, and the selection of the condemned prisoner was, of course, only a subconscious first priority. Unemployed vagrants are also a good choice, especially the kind of homeless people who are disliked by their own families, and even have really no relatives, Alice has lived in Tokyo for so long, she really knows where to find it.
The only obstacle is whether she can live up to her conscience.
To be reasonable, if you really don't care about anything, how can there be so many complicated problems?
"Or drug traffickers. ”
In an instant, Alice was targeting another group - there was a reason not to hurry, because it was a quick job to figure it out.
Drug traffickers, this choice also made Maiya agree.
If drug addicts are pitiful, then drug traffickers are basically a bunch of scum.
Especially the real big drug lords.
"Targets, Mexico, Venezuela. ”
Alice said: "It's not polite to deal with the drug dealers there, and there is also the Golden Triangle, and the power reports on those two territories in my hands are all crushed." Maimi, let's take the Golden Triangle first, I'll ask Ada to go with you to provide you with support, let's go and raze there!"
