Chapter 44, Bezos, New York

Jeff Bezos is honored to have a Microsoft company in his hometown of Albuquerque, New Mexico. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

At the age of 14, Bezos aspired to be an astronaut or a physicist, and his garage had his engineering experiments or scientific experiments, and at the age of 16, he was able to install windmills and use arc welders.

But when Bezos entered Princeton University, where Einstein taught in his later years, his interest shifted to computers. After all, it was a time of great change in the computer industry, and he was deeply aware of the prospects of the industry, and he threw himself into studying for two degrees, Bachelor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science.

However, even though he has shown the potential of such a science and engineering genius since he was a child, Bezos knows from the bottom of his bones that he is actually a literary and artistic young man who loves to read. Before entering college, one of his biggest hobbies was riding his bike deep into the Gobi Desert in New Mexico, and then looking up at the sky at a 45-degree angle with a slight melancholy.

Seeing the arrival of the summer vacation of college, Bezos's literary and youth disease couldn't help but attack again. So he made a phone call to inform his family, and then immediately traveled lightly, carrying only a large blue, one-meter-high travel bag, and as a backpacker, carrying only a few hundred dollars in cash, and went on a trip.

Then, he came to New York.

Manhattan in the middle of summer is much hotter than his hometown, and the heat island effect of the big city makes Bezos eat ice cream incessantly. Leaving his backpack in the hotel, he licked a youthful vanilla-flavored cone as he strolled down the crowded streets, and soon passed in front of a bookstore.

Bezos looked curiously at the roll-up banner at the door, on this half-human-high poster, a dinosaur painted in black shadows roared sideways, alone in the green jungle, and a wild breath suddenly came to his face.

"Jurassic Park?"

Curiously, he asked an Asian girl next to him, "Is there a new book promotion going on in the bookstore?"

"Oh yes sir, a classic by talented newcomer writer Alice Wang, definitely not to be missed. โ€

The girl smiled very cheerfully at him, and Bezos immediately realized that this was a beautiful Asian girl. The other party's jet-black hair hung down to the waist but there was no split end, and the facial features were delicate and full of beauty, especially the big blue eyes, which seemed to be able to speak, shining with moving light.

"Have you read it? Oh, I mean, have you gone in and read it? How about this book?"

Bezos took a cursory glance, a little unsure of the girl's specific age. If she is still young, she is not short, and her comprehensive development is obviously good, but if she is already a high school student, her childishness is still relatively obvious, and she is not a baby-faced beautiful girl.

What made Bezos a little embarrassed was that this girl's cup was really not ordinarily big, because the top was obviously produced for younger girls, so after this shirt was worn on her, it couldn't suppress the two pairs of towering peaks.

No, it should be, it makes the already majestic peaks more obvious.

"Of course it's very exciting!Hurry in and take a look.,Jurassic Park.,The hero resurrected the dinosaur with cloning technology!Now is the time for the new book to be promoted.,The release date should be the end of August to the beginning of September.,You can consider ordering it in advance.,Anyway, a book is not expensive~"

A word of dinosaurs, a word of cloning technology, Bezos's interest was indeed aroused, and he immediately walked into the bookstore.

"Huhu, it seems to be very popular. โ€

Standing in front of the top bookstore in Manhattan, Alice proudly folded her hands and looked up at the bookstore's name.

After a month of preliminary preparation and market research, the main round of promotion of "Jurassic Park" finally began, and at this time, in the bookstore, there was a set of three rows of newspaper shelves rented by Bantam Chicken, which was specially used to display her Virgo brochure.

"Hey, Alice, you want the cone!"

Across the street across the sidewalk, Sissi walked towards Alice with a McDonald's vanilla cone in her hand.

It's the end of June, St. Anto's holiday is over, and as sixth-graders, Alice and Sissi have graduated from elementary school.

Yes, the girls have been able to get rid of the whole title of elementary school students and become secondary school girls in the seventh grade. What makes Sissi feel a little strange is that when she learns that she has finally become a middle school student, Alice seems to have a different kind of excitement, seems to have a strange obsession with the eighth grade, and keeps thinking about some inexplicable things.

In the second year of middle school, according to Alice's Japanese pronunciation, it sounded very sensitive, but Sissi didn't learn much because her tongue couldn't be straightened, just like the Japanese have a hard time curling their tongues.

Of course, the lives of the two men will not change much, after all, the middle and high schools in Culver City are connected to the elementary school, and Lincoln High School is only a five-minute walk from St. Anto. Therefore, even if I become a middle school student, it is nothing more than a half-minute drive to move the place where I get off the bus, and it will not affect anything.

So now, after finally bidding farewell to the hard student life and ushering in the summer vacation that lasted for nearly three months, at Alice's request, Sissi came to New York with her to watch the new book promotion of "Jurassic Park"!

"Mmmm, McDonald's must be a high-quality product, oh, Sissi, let's go in and take a look?"

Speaking of which, when she first met Bezos at the door, Alice had actually just crossed the street. At this moment, after taking the cone handed by Sissi, she grabbed the other party's arm, and then strode in.

The bookstore is full of shoppers, and the first floor area is crowded with many people, and since it is summer vacation, many parents bring their children to hang out in the bookstore, which makes the area extremely noisy.

Bezos, of course, was also in the bookstore, and he also noticed that the big girl and his good sister had also come in to hang out. In the distance, he waved at Alice.

"Wow, Bichi, what's going on!?"

Seeing a handsome young man from college waving to Alice, Sissi was suddenly stunned: "We've only been apart for less than five minutes, and you've seduced an old man from college!?"

"It's just a hello, what kind of seduction...... Hey, what do you mean, Bichi, are you trying me to scratch you!?"

Sissi was extremely dexterous enough to dodge Alice's claws, and rushed into the crowd all the way, stunned to be able to pass through the thousands of flowers, and not a single leaf touched herself. Seeing this, Alice also chased after her like the wind, and disappeared into the crowd in an instant.

Bezos, of course, couldn't hear what the two girls were saying, and when he saw them disappear from view, he turned his attention back to him. In front of the new book promotion booth, more than a dozen young people were excitedly discussing together.

"Hey, man, did you think dinosaurs could really be resurrected?"

"Idiot, since it's all science fiction, what's so strange about resurrecting dinosaurs? Didn't there be a cute ET who came to hang out on Earth some time ago?"

"You're an idiot, aren't you!? I'm talking about real possibilities! This pamphlet says that scientists use cloning technology, but what about the raw materials? Is it possible to "Back to the Future" again?"

"I'm more concerned with the word 'park', and the storytelling in the brochure doesn't mention it, is it an abstract generalization?"

Bezos didn't rush to participate in the discussion, but first took the brochure and read it carefully. It's a simple trifold, and in the most striking position, a line of glittering sentences that no one can ignore.

"The debut of a talented newcomer, the whimsical ideas of a Chinese female writer, welcome everyone to the wonderful sci-fi world built by Alice Wang, and swim in the mysterious Jurassic Park!"

"Alice Wang, indeed, is a name I've never heard of. โ€

Bezos's voice suddenly sounded next to a mature man, and he turned his head sharply to see a man in his thirties standing beside him, smiling and reading a brochure.

Bezos felt that the man looked familiar: "Sir, have we met there?"

He carefully examined the man's clothes, and the other party was wearing a black shirt and light blue jeans, looking in good spirits.

"Oh...... I promise we didn't, man, or I'd remember you!"

The man's voice was quite high-pitched, but then he changed the subject: "By the way, man, do you think this book will be good?"

Bezos said without hesitation: "It will definitely be exciting, I have been to many new book promotion meetings, and they are also new writers, and it is rare to be able to pick up three whole newspaper shelves in this bookstore, which is not a treatment that ordinary people can have!"

The man looked out the window, and the bustle of one of Manhattan's busiest streets, the crowd was so loud that it was impossible to see the busier road.

"That makes sense, man, it seems that you are also a reading lover, do you often visit the bookstore?"

The more Bezos looked, the more familiar the man in front of him became, as if he had seen it somewhere not long ago. Suddenly, a flash of light flashed above his head, and Bezos suddenly realized.

"Ah...... Oh my God, you're Jobs!?"

He was surprised: "Apple's Mr. Steve Jobs?"

"Hmm...... Precisely. โ€

The man raised his eyebrows in surprise: "May I ask ...... you?"

Bezos didn't care about being polite, put down the brochure of "Jurassic Park", and shook his hand with both hands: "Hello, Mr. Jobs, my name is Jeff, Jeff Bezos, a college student from Princeton, and I'm your biggest fan!"

At this moment, Bezos really shouldn't describe his excitement, as he is studying computer science because of his ambition, the name of Apple Jobs, that is really thunderous!

โ€œWell๏ฝžโ€

At this moment, a girl's voice sounded behind Bezos.

Although his voice was very sweet, for a moment, Bezos shuddered violently.

"I don't care if Mr. Amazon is a fan of Mr. Apple, but ...... Please don't throw the leaflets around, okay?The boss will be angry......"
