"Medea mall shooting", this is the name given to the incident by the Los Angeles Times the next morning, and selected the photos taken by Jimmy McLean, who happened to be engaged in art photography, who was walking on the patio on the fifth floor of the mall at the time. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The photograph shows that the man in a long shirt, a cap and a mask is holding an AK47 rifle and is jumping from the third-story patio to the escalator to the second. Due to the speed of the camera's resolution and the large print layout, every reader can easily distinguish the frightened expressions of the passengers on the escalator.

The Los Angeles Police Department was interviewed by various newspapers and media, and a press conference was released at about 9:30 p.m. that night.

According to information provided by the police, the shooting was derived from an attempted attempt to force X, and the two accomplices involved in the case were members of the triad of gangsters in Chinatown, who were seriously injured and unconscious in the toilet when they were arrested by the police. The identity of the head of the crime, according to the victim's oral statement, is a typical white man.

As for the identity of the victim, to the surprise of many media, the police did not deliberately cover it up, but generously invited her to the microphone at the press conference and let her face the media's questioning in person.

It is not always an opportunity to let the victim of the attempted case of Qiang X appear in public, especially after the identity of the person concerned is really revealed, it is not difficult to get on the front page of the entire "Los Angeles Times".

To be honest, just by looking at the white appearance of Alice Wang's body in the photo, you can know how many reporters consumed how much film at that time. And quite amazingly, even in the face of so many flash clicks, her big blue eyes can still stare ahead without blinking.

"It's not that hard to lie down on those two little thugs." In the interview videos replayed by various TV stations, Alice avoided talking about why she was so powerful, but started from another tricky angle: "You know, although it is true that they are members of the Chinese gang, not everyone can compare to Bruce Lee's little fingers. ”

"Scared? The journalist who asked the question must have never experienced anything of the same kind. At that time, the first bastard pounced on me directly, and if you think about it a little, you know that there will be no harm at that time. Of course, if you're really just an ordinary girl with weak hands and feet, or a thin white-collar worker who hasn't been to a gym in three years, then I won't say anything. As for the knives they brought with them and the sand eagle, I knew a ghost at the time. ”

"It's either you dead or I'm alive, that madman has a shuttle of bullets at almost every door, and if I hadn't made a preemptive strike, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to talk to you here now."

The girl who was supposed to be the victim received a lot of media praise like a hero who returned victoriously, after all, the name Alice Wang did not appear in the media on the first day. The propaganda method is also very simple, the police only need to list the madman's behavior directly, and then with a little rendering, Alice can easily become a little hero in the mouth of the media.

Look at how indifferent the police revealed the case, as printed in the original edition of the Los Angeles Daily News.

First of all, through interrogation, it was revealed that the two triad members were employed by a third party to force x Alice specifically for the purpose of forcing x Alice. There is obviously a subtext in this, judging from the time when the madman broke into the toilet later, it is completely okay to have a foursome at that time. The women's toilet in the men's clothing area during meal time, the gang committed crimes to satisfy selfish desires, is it a bastard?

Moreover, the search of the prisoner showed that the madman did know that the younger brother was lying down before he entered the door. But as soon as you rush in, it's a shuttle bullet, which who else can do but a madman? The Los Angeles Times generously published a photo of the devastated door panel in the women's restroom, and I believe that any female reader who reads it will see the madman as a Texas chainsaw murderer because of the fear of empathy.

In addition, the frantic escape, the perseverance of crossing the road and being hit by a car, and the behavior of robbing motorcycles halfway are all traces of iron. The newspaper also interviewed the KFC delivery man who was robbed of his motorcycle, what an innocent kind young man, because he was suddenly pulled off while driving, his wrist was severely bruised, and even had a slight concussion.

What a crazy bastard, in this kind of focus convergence mode that speaks with facts, Alice's behavior of "rashly chasing with a gun" is naturally easy to be led to a superhero in reality.

So, when the Los Angeles Times was quickly distributed to many people in the early morning, and the related news was put up 24/7, an interesting situation happened.

Cisco's stock increased by 24.72% in a single day!

What is this concept?

It's normal for small companies to have inconsistent growth in stocks, after all, they have limited assets, so a small amount of money invested or withdrawn can bring about very high price movements. But Cisco, which has only been listed for only six months, is no longer worth more than the average small business, and its market value has risen to $5 billion from the beginning of the new year to the end of July.

Generally speaking, it is good for a company with a market capitalization like it to have an average daily price change of one percent. The so-called blue chips are exactly like this, although it is difficult to skyrocket, but it also means that it is difficult to have a sharp fall, although the daily rise and fall of a few tenths of a percent is weak, but it is also the most suitable for long-term investment by stockholders, how many people will only sell once after throwing money into it for a few months.

It's such a blue chip that Cisco's market capitalization has skyrocketed by nearly a quarter just because of this news!

"It's a pity, Alice, that you're a blessing in disguise."

On the evening of the third day of the crime, it was time for the stock market to close, and in a hotel restaurant in downtown Los Angeles, Bill Gates held a wine glass and congratulated Alice: "And with your news, Microsoft's stock price has also increased a lot, even if you count the amount after the rise, your total value now should be equivalent to Cisco's market value, right?" ”

When the company's most important partner encounters such a big event, of course Gates has to come to Los Angeles to visit, but now that it looks like Alice is not happy with the impact of the company's stock price, so why is there any "is there something wrong" question?

"The money in stocks, plus the cash on hand and other investments, is about $7 billion."

Speaking softly and with a jaw-dropping speech, Alice had a nonchalant look on her face, as if the figure of seven billion was only seventy dollars to her.

"Well, that's pretty much it, your share of Cisco plus ......" Gates thought about his current worth and grinned: "I said Alice, have they found you again in Forbes recently?" Haven't they put you on the leaderboard yet? That's too inefficient, isn't it? ”

"Maybe it's listed, maybe not, you also know that I always have a lot of things to do every day, how can I have the time to pay attention to these things?" Alice said sincerely that it would be no pressure to let her read "Popular Electronics" and "New York Observer" and those things, but it was simply a magazine like Forbes, which lists the list of rich people.

After a glass and a full drink, Gates looked around with amusement and gestured to raise his glass to the player playing the piano in the distance.

"No one has the time to pay attention to the news in the gossip field, and it seems that although the two of us are two types of busy, they are highly compatible at this level." He said happily: "I'm busy writing all kinds of code at Microsoft every day, your words...... Busy things are quite diverse, and the big news recently is...... Alice Tower? ”

"Bingo~"

This is the topic that excites Alice the most, you know, when she heard that Gates was coming to visit her, she asked him to find a hotel here in the city center. In this one, if you look out of the restaurant window, you can directly see the construction site of the Alice Building where the foundation is being dug!

"Tell you Bill, I haven't even had time to tell the media again, this building, Oscar's original idea was 528 meters high."

"Uh-huh, uh-huh."

"And then I made it taller! Six hundred and thirty-two meters, what do you think? ”

Nearly twice the length of the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier, this is really something that shocks even thinking about it, Gates looked at the construction site outside the window, touched his chin and said: "Skyscrapers, it is indeed the favorite thing of our young people." But Alice, since you're planning to build a high-rise building as an office location, what about your home address? ”

"We've had a lot of discussions about this, and we've really put forward a lot of ideas." Alice said lightly: "You must know that our family has always pursued free-range education, not to mention my liberal style, and it is also a reason that Hannah and Oscar did not go to private middle school." Therefore, there is no need to focus on elite communities and high-end school districts, and it is completely about living wherever you want. So......"

"Haha, so I don't know how to choose, right?" Gates grinned, "And I remember, you have a couple of sisters who lived in Culver City from that generation, right, if you really move, you really have a lot of trouble to deal with." ”

"So, let's talk about where our family is going to live." Alice waved her hand, then looked at Gates with sparkling eyes.

"But you, old man, are you planning to build a super mansion of your own?"
