The turmoil in the outside world has little direct connection with Alice for the time being, because she has other things to deal with, but she doesn't have the time to stare at the curiosity of a bank manager to explain. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info At this moment, seeing that it is time for Eton to start school again, she must take care of some local business before leaving for the UK.

Of course, until the Alice Building was finally built, her core office was still her bedroom. Fortunately, her family had expanded her room long before she was twelve, otherwise there would not have been enough bookcases for her to store her materials.

"Alice?"

In the middle of the night, the door opened, and Sophie walked in with a cup of milk tea: "Are you still busy?"

"Well, there are several things that need to be revised about the blueprint of the new building. At this moment, Alice was fiddling with the computer: "Is Daddy back?"

"Not yet, I guess there are a lot of people in the supermarket tonight, after all, it's the weekend. Sophie put the milk tea on the desk: "Are you sure you just don't drink coffee?

With a sip, Alice directly drank one-third of the milk tea: "Milk tea also has a refreshing function, and there will be more opportunities to work for a long time in the future, if I always rely on coffee to refresh myself now, then I won't be an addict in the future?"

After entering the bedroom, she didn't plan to go out immediately, Sophie chuckled and looked at what her daughter was doing: "Yes, when I was still working in an accounting firm, I was really busy day and night, especially in the first three months of the year, it was just ...... Oh, by the way, Ellie, what kind of software are you using?"

Sophie had already noticed that after all, her daughter's days of designing this building were not a day or two, and she was not only fully computer-operated, but also using a product that was not like other IT companies.

"Oh, it's AutoCAD. The girl grinned: "Autodesk developed automatic computer-aided design software in '82 for 2D drawing, detailed drawing, design documentation, and basic 3D design. But it's mine now~"

Sophie blinked, "It's yours? What do you mean? I remember you bought a company that was bigger than anything, it seemed to be making graphic design software, and now you're buying the same type of company? When did it happen? I don't know?"

"Oh~ That's a remote investment I did directly in the UK~" Alice tapped the mouse briskly and fiddled with the architectural model, but if someone looked in the mirror, they would find that she looked a little weak: "It's also a small company, and if you say you bought it, you bought it......"

If you want to talk about a weak heart, Alice does have a reason for a weak heart. You know, her own mother is a serious senior lawyer with several senior accounting certificates, and her daughter has acquired a company, so ordinary mothers are just that, how can there be any reason to deliberately omit her?

"Awesome~" Sophie smiled softly, swished, and took away the milk tea on the table: "Alice, it seems that my daughter has really grown up completely, and she has actually started some business that she doesn't let her mother know?"

"Hey, hey, hey!" Alice immediately turned her chair: "The head can be broken and the blood can flow, and the milk tea can't be lost!

Sophie immediately took three steps back, still holding the glass of water she had made for her daughter, but leaned against the bookcase and drank it herself.

"Wow~Mom~ I hate it~ That's my milk tea!" Seeing that her own milk tea was actually drunk by her mother, Alice suddenly puffed her mouth and actually sprinkled Jiao!

Sophie squinted at the sky, still holding the cup elegantly and calmly: "My daughter has grown up, and she has actually started a business that can't be known to her mother, it seems that this milk tea will no longer need to be drunk, and it will be changed to coffee directly in the future." ”

"Ah~ Okay, okay, it's just a small company, mom, you're like this~"

Alice was coquettish, hehe smirked and hugged her mother's waist, and kissed Sophie on the cheek: "Give me milk tea, I can't drink it~"

The warm scene in his bedroom is enough to embarrass many outsiders, and Alice is not a great female president of the United States, and if she does this in a semi-public setting, the Secret Service brothers will have to die of discomfort.

"Oh, my baby Vivi wants to drink milk tea, right?" Sophie was still teasing her, holding her cup high and said, "Then she has to tell her mother well, when did she suddenly buy a small company again, and it is still in the same field as adobe, what do you say?"

"I promise, I promise I can't do it!" "To put it mildly, Alice is asking for milk tea back, it's really pitiful, what she only drank a sip of, she was actually taken away by her mother in three or two bites. This is not a big cup, a big loss.

"Well, to put it simply, I want to set up a comprehensive image software company. ”

It's easy to explain, and the 3D structure of the Alice Building is being designed is displayed on a flat screen monitor, and all the details are clear at a glance.

"Adobe, which I bought earlier, was founded in the same year as Autodesk, both in 1982. "The reason for the acquisition was because of the company's coding product called PostScript," she says. This encoding is particularly useful for printing images and text, which is a typical language for page descriptions, which can be as readable as program code and represent vector graphics that can be arbitrarily enlarged and reduced. ”

"To the point," Sophie interrupted, "Mom, I'm not a computer student, don't be an occupational disease." ”

Alice stuck out her tongue: "Anyway, this company is clearly going to make flat image processing software, so I bought it." And then the founder of that company lived up to my expectations, and some time ago, he launched i, a pretty good vector graphics processing software, and it sold well. ”

Whether it's vectors or anything else, Sophie really doesn't really understand it. To be honest, she even wondered how her husband was a history professor and she was a lawyer and an accountant, all of whom were careers that couldn't be beaten, so how could she give birth to a computer genius daughter?

To be reasonable, Bill Gates also has a mother of an IBM executive!

"And then there's this Autodesk company," Alice continued, "and it was founded in the same year as Adobe, it went public in '85, and it offered 1.6 million shares for $11!"

Sophie nodded, looking down at her good daughter: "So, you didn't tell me at all, and you bought a listed company in one go?"

Well, I'm still angry that the information is not public.

"Uh-huh~" Alice touched her nose and said: "And as of last year, their flagship product, this AutoCAD, has sold 100,000 copies, and successfully issued 2.5 million shares in the second board market, and now is the time for development." ”

And then what happened, Sophie could guess much better. As of last year, the other party achieved this result, and it was at the end of last year that a big stock market crash swept the world, and most of the Nasdaq stocks were hit hard. If Alice took advantage of this time to buy a large amount of the other party's shares, it could indeed be easily acquired.

"So, this company's business is this 3D mapping software?"

"It should be said that Autodesk is already the world's leading design software and digital content creation company, after all, there are only a few in this industry in recent years, and it has also gone public. ”

"And then, obviously, 3D mapping software. Just like what I'm doing now, it's a software that can be used in architectural design, land resource development, production, utilities, communications, media, and even entertainment at the same time, and the market size is quite large. ”

"Obviously, Autodesk is this kind of engineering-focused company, and it's a publicly traded company. Adobe's little guy just invented his first product, and it's still early to hit the market. So I'm worried now, if I really merge these two companies, how can it be better?"

Since it is a higher-level big capitalist who makes a move, there is really no need for two macro-level companies of the same type to be an eyesore. When it comes to the word business combination, Sophie is of course familiar with it, and the liquidation of assets and the integration of financial statements are all hand-to-. So as her own daughter, since Alice is worried, of course it won't be at this level.

So what could the great Alice worry about?

Sophie smiled, "You want to keep Adobe's name, right?"

"Oh yes~ Mom is Mommy. ”

Alice grinned: "In terms of business management, Autodesk has developed to this extent, and it has reached the point of going public with a single AutoCAD, which shows that the guy's business strategy is really great." You know, the field of industrial design is really wide, and the requirements for professionalism are extraordinarily large, civil engineering, bridge design, three-dimensional contour map and other precipitation map production, there are too many markets, which can also be used to develop specific versions, such as autocad-map-3d or autocad-raster-design or ......

"Alice, occupational disease. ”

"Oh, in short, Autodesk can eat for a lifetime with this one thing. But Adobe, because it started with a unique programming language, has a lot of potential for product diversity. Let's just say that it is now launching vector graphics editing software, can it also be made of pixel images, and even interactive vector graphics and web animations, and even all kinds of audio and video editing ......"

"It's always ......" Sophie quickly interrupted the daughter who came up from Polytechnic, "You just don't know how to name it after the merger?"

When the mother said this, Alice was stunned.

"Oh yes, that's it! Mom, you're awesome!"

"Hmph, you're stupid. ”
