In mid-May, it's time to head to Africa again, after all, if she wants to study Caesar's DNA, Alice must first obtain genetic samples from other chimpanzees. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoAs for the chimpanzee as a sample, it is more appropriate to go to the valley floor forest of the Great Rift Valley to find one than to find one from the zoo at random.

But this time it was a trip that would last at least three to five days, after all, it would take a long time just to get to Cairo by plane and then to the forest at the bottom of the valley by helicopter, and at least a whole week of empty time. So, she had to coordinate her work before that.

If you want to talk about work......

First of all, Microsoft and Cisco systems are the least to worry about.

Microsoft, which has already gone public, is doing well, and after announcing the upcoming announcement, it is expected to bring Alice a million-dollar cash dividend every month of the year. At the same time, Gates is also giving the lion's share to the R&D group after the project became independent from IBM in April, and a huge recruitment effort is underway, with a full hundred programmers already on board by mid-May.

What about Cisco?

An entire headquarters building with several floors is already crammed with 200 employees, and the busy work has exhausted everyone like dogs. Just imagine, the order placed by President Reagan alone, covering the switches and routers needed for all levels of government offices in several states on the East Coast, is already a giant with a transaction volume of more than 30 million, and Cisco's annual net profit last year was only 28 million!

You know, the profit margin of the router is terrifyingly high......

This is a first-priority order, and due to the impact of the IBM incident, I don't know how many orders from large, medium and small enterprises are also coming. In fact, Sandy had hung up on Alice more than once, saying that the entire staff had been overwhelmed by too much business. And it was difficult for her to recruit more people on a large scale, because the office space was really limited......

But no matter how tired they are, almost no employee complains. Alice stipulated the company's articles of association as early as a year ago, promising that when the company goes public, every programmer can buy shares at the company's internal price, that is, implement employee options to make drugs. To work for the company is to work for yourself, and no one doubts the prospects of Cisco after going public, so no one will turn down this opportunity to make himself a millionaire!

Because, the current Cisco is really developing too fast.

Everyone clearly remembers how amazing the snowflakes were when Leonardo Bossak, the Minister of Technology, one of the company's founders and a shareholder, introduced the switch to the media at a press conference a few days ago. After statistics, Sandy concluded that at least 60% of the first batch of orders were old customers who had purchased routers.

It is at this moment that many people suddenly discover a problem that they have barely paid attention to before.

For the current almost blank Internet hardware market, Cisco, as a leader, invents a new product and updates an old model, triggering an order frenzy for the entire market and all of its customers. In this way, whenever a new product is released, the company will inevitably usher in a moment of skyrocketing performance, and all the programmers and Cheng Xuyuan ...... Of course, there will also be a new wave of overtime.

Alice understands this phenomenon very well, which is equivalent to the wave of change and market sensation caused by Jobs when he launched and updated the iPod, iPhone, and iPad.

And also to count the market position.

The entire list of competitors, even the leading Lucent Technologies, has the same quality of routers as Cisco's previous generation, let alone other companies?

Although with Bell Labs' technology, it is estimated that in a few months, Lucent may be able to develop a new router equal to Cisco's current level. But when the time comes, it's time for Alice...... Well, it's time to throw out the third generation.

It's really stress-free.

As for the current situation of IBM, it is still very talked-about. Although the scandal caused its stock price to plummet and its image was greatly damaged, after nearly two months of hard work, including offsetting it with cash flow, implementing preferential policies regardless of cost, and secret dealings between high-level officials and government officials, it can be regarded as holding up.

But it is only a hold, and it is expected that for a long time, IBM's stock price can only maintain the level of 75% of its heyday, and its daily profits have plummeted.

And during this period of time, Alice did not take the opportunity to stumble on it, such as taking the opportunity to buy stocks. After all, this incident is completely unguided by the general trend of history, and it is better to have less to do with it.

And then there are some other trivial things in the business.

As for Bantam Books, Alice hasn't published a new book for half a year, but the cultural people are engaged in this kind of thing, and the editor Brown can't urge anything. "Jurassic Park" and "Scarlet Fairy Tale" still lead sales, and if they are no longer at the top of the New York Times bestseller list, they are enough to sustain thousands of copies a month.

Of course, in this regard, Alice didn't intend to make a lot of money from it from the beginning, it was purely a ticket nature. If there is any purpose, except for the bad taste of branding well-known works with their own imprint, it is just that they don't want the public to think that they are technocratics and copper-smelling businessmen.

After all, few girls would refuse such a title as a so-called young woman in art.

Then in terms of DreamWorks, "Alien II" is still in the preparatory stage.

Yes, the preparation before the start of a movie will be very long, and the more expensive the film, the more so, and a month is simply not enough time to change much.

At the very least, for this movie that was "remade" by herself, Alice spent a lot of money to find specialized arms dealers and heavy industry factories to produce equipment. This alone will not be able to end in a month, not to mention that Cameron still has to cast, recruit crews, find filming locations, etc., and Lawrence also has to contact major theaters and related media for advance publicity and promotion, and the things to do are simply a basket.

Then, for Electronic Arts Entertainment, which was acquired by itself not long ago, it can now be said that it has ushered in the peak period of development. With a $5 million infusion, a new round of staff recruitment and the production of new projects have been launched, and the enthusiasm of the employees is even more enthusiastic.

According to the schedule they give, SimCity will be available around the fall of this year. Half a year's work cycle, a new product, for the current Electronic Arts, is already a masterpiece of conscience with the strength of the whole company.

That seems to be all there is to it.

Except for the regular directing of the project and the exchange of emails, Alice was really idle for a while.

Yes, otherwise she wouldn't have the energy to be busy with weird scientific research like she is now, right?

But even so, if you want to leave for Africa, you have to wait for one thing to finish.

"Alice, Alice, open the door!"

In the early morning, as Alice's family was munching on sandwiches around the table, there was a knock on Sissi's door at the door.

"What the hell?"

Oscar was drinking milk, startled by her slamming door, and almost didn't squirt.

James had just finished breakfast and was about to pick up the newspaper: "It seems that Sissi has something important to look for you, Weiwei, why don't you hurry up?"

"Woo, right away. ”

After eating the last bit of sandwich in her stomach in two bites, Alice ran quickly to the entrance and opened the door.

"Why is it so slow!?"

Sissi stood at the door, although she was neatly dressed, there were still some bread crumbs left at the corners of her mouth, and she was obviously in a hurry: "Look at this!"

Alice didn't pay attention to the envelope she handed her, but shook her head with a smile, and reached out to brush the breadcrumbs from the corner of Sissi's mouth: "Look at your mess, the sandwich you ate this morning?"

Sissi coughed, wiped the corners of her mouth, and handed the envelope: "Look at this, idiot!"

Alice's gaze focused on the clay of the envelope.

"It's ...... Invitation to the exam at EtonHouse!?"

"That's right, Eton's exam invitation!"

Sissi screamed and hugged Alice: "Invitation! Alice, I can go to Windsor Town for the exam!"

"Well done, well done!"

The soprano at the door had already attracted the whole family, and Hannah still had a blueberry in her mouth and patted Sissi on the shoulder: "There are thousands of girls to sign up, and you are still a transfer student, it's too rare." ”

"Gotta thank you Ashley's grandmother!"

After screaming, Sissi was still hanging on Alice: "If it weren't for her knowing the principal, I wouldn't have succeeded!"

"Yes, yes, yes. ”

In this regard, Alice thought deeply: "There must be many students with higher grades and comprehensive quality than you, how about dear, do you want to dedicate yourself to Ashley to show your gratitude?"

Sissi glared at her: "Stinky bastard, my application materials don't have to be bad with yours, even if I have real skills, I can still shoot the top 100, okay?"

"Excuse me, sisters. ”

Sophie stood in the hallway with a smile: "Since Sissi's invitation has arrived, then Alice, your share should also be sent to the mailbox, right?"

"Oh yes, it's necessary to see!"

Alice also remembered that she and all her friends had applied for Eton: "Let's go, Sissi, come to my mailbox!"

"Bastard, don't slap me in the ass!"

"It's yours to be shot~" (To be continued.) )
