Chapter 454: The Influence of Cultural People

To say that the two concepts of news and rivers and lakes have always complemented each other, and they have always been so interesting. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Unless something becomes really big news and is covered by the city, the country, and even the global media, few people pay attention to it except those who pay attention to it.

No matter how small a circle is, such as three or five gangs in a school and a class, if one person is an insider, it is his rivers and lakes. No matter how big the circle is, such as the entire entertainment industry or the financial industry or even any industry, if a person is not an insider, then even if there is a big news, he will not know at all.

Alice Wang has shone in the tech world, and it's impossible for any Silicon Valley worker not to hear about the rise of Cisco in the past two years.

A company that has only been established for four years, but it has been on the market for a whole year, and it has expanded the market at a rapid pace with its sophisticated products, and its market capitalization has soared second to none in the NASDAQ. For people in the technology and financial circles, this person, this company, this stock, the potential value and significance are too rich.

It's a pity that the girl herself is still very low-key on weekdays, after all, she is only a middle school student after all.

In terms of the day-to-day operation of the enterprise, Cisco's own professional managers are responsible for regular projects, including other industries under Alice, and those who are in direct contact with all walks of life on a daily basis are also directly responsible for their respective direct responsibilities. Although there are opportunities for outsiders to come into contact with her, the average is inevitably not high.

In this case, some things that are based on Alice herself as a business card are naturally particularly eye-catching.

For example, a magical novel called Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone is about to be published!

This is a wonderful phenomenon, because no matter which writer publishes which book, in the final analysis, it is just news in the entertainment industry. Or even rather, it's just a matter for the readers, and the fan base is more than an order of magnitude worse than the new Hollywood movie stars.

But although this is a relatively small circle, as long as people pay special attention to it, it is a whole river and lake.

In fact, judging from the frequency of book publications, Alice's creative speed can only be regarded as good. Although there was only a gap of half a year between her first book, "Jurassic Park" and her second book "Scarlet Fairy Tale", and the thickness of the work was also expensive, it was not until the birth of this "Harry Potter" that people waited anxiously for many years.

Yes, two 300,000-word books have been published in four years, plus a relatively thin Japanese mystery story, and then the current children's fantasy book of 500,000 words, which is just a good speed.

After all, for a truly prolific full-time writer, the amount of creation per day is incredibly staggering. As Stephen King has said, he types out 5,000 words a day, even if it's not official, and there are only two days off throughout the year, one July 4th, and his own birthday.

Therefore, purely from the perspective of the field of professional writers, in four years, two 300,000, one hundred thousand, and now 500,000, Alice's creative speed can only be called "good".

But after all, no one can look at one thing alone.

Part-time job, there is wood!

A girl who is only nearly seventeen years old by now, while developing her career in the tech circle to the scale she is today, has been on the New York Times bestseller list twice by writing part-time!

When an ordinary writer publishes a book, it will only be a matter of the reading world, but when she writes a book, she really touches the hearts of many people.

You know, this teenage entrepreneur is not simply writing something about business management, but a serious storybook. Bio-science fiction, vampire love, Japanese-style campus reasoning, and now children's campus magic, her audience can transcend all industry barriers, pointing directly to the heart of each individual!

People in the tech community will buy her books, whether they are employees, partners, or competitors, people in the financial world will buy her books, regardless of whether their own company and personal accounts are related to them, and people in the education community will buy her books, whether the girl is in her school or not......

Accountants, lawyers, doctors, civil servants, salespeople, anyone from all walks of life have the opportunity to buy her novels. Jurassic Park will appeal to all men and thrill-seeking women, Scarlet Fairy Tales will appeal to all women interested in love and some men interested in the dark plots, and After School has limited publications in the United States, but it is only a matter of time before mystery enthusiasts will catch their eyes on the Edogawa Ranpo Award-winning work.

The industry is limited, but the impact is unlimited, no matter what industry a person is in, as Alice's novels on various themes continue to be published, more and more people can at least be familiar with her name.

And now, "Harry Potter", which is "supposed" to be published according to the long-form magic frame, the first part is actually going to be released "ahead of schedule".

"So fast?"

Jamie's mother was surprised when she heard the news: "Didn't we just go to the book promotion last month?

"Actually, this speed is also normal," Jamie's father said flipping through the newspaper, "The propaganda campaign can't last long, it's not about time, it's about efficiency." That's enough work in a month, isn't it Jamie?"

This is the living room, it's breakfast time, and twelve-year-old Jamie is holding a knife and fork, and says happily, "Daddy, Daddy, when are we going to buy the books back?"

Oh, our dear Jamie actually mentioned little Amy.

The couple looked at each other and smiled, and within a month, their son became good friends with the girl he met in the bookstore. Although it is only a trial booklet, the whole article is the amount of one chapter, but it has become the main topic of conversation for these two children on weekdays.

Look, the kid who is annoyed by even answering the phone for his parents on weekdays has been standing in the corridor without moving lately. And every time the couple passed by, he always had to cover his mouth mysteriously and mutter, for fear that people would hear it.

Whether it's from the perspective of reading, making friends, or making friends in any sense, isn't this all a good thing?

"Okay!" so Jamie's father immediately agreed: "The newspaper says it's half past eight tomorrow morning, Jamie, go buy it with Daddy, maybe you can meet little Amy there again?"

When the father has the intention to tease his son, but I am afraid that his wishful thinking will fail. Although Jamie has a "little girlfriend", he is only twelve years old after all, how can this relationship be too ambiguous?

Then, early the next morning, Jamie's family, who live in Temple, a satellite city of Los Angeles, headed downtown happily.

"It's a pity that Alice Wang didn't hold a book signing. The co-driver of the car, Jamie's mother, felt very regretful: "Otherwise I would have seen her too." That "Scarlet Fairy Tale" is really well written, Bourbon, and you know how many times I've read it. ”

"But she's not a professional writer after all," Jamie's father drove the car, not to mention that today is the weekend, and the early morning highway is still crowded with cars, "The child is still in school, and then there are those companies to manage, we have to understand." ”

"Daddy, Daddy. Jamie said in the back seat, "Do you know what school Sister Alice attends?"

"Haha, how do I know that?" Jamie's father drove onto the viaduct, "But Jane, do you think that kid might be able to go to college?"

"Alice-Wang going to college?" The question came a little suddenly, and Jamie's mother was so embarrassed that she ignored her son's voice calling McDonald's: "It should be there, right? Can she not go on?" Bourbon, you are asking this question a little strangely. ”

"Not necessarily. When the father spoke, he was in high spirits: "You have to see what her purpose is in college." If it's just to experience college life, it's really possible, but when it comes to learning skills and finding a job, do you think she may have wasted these four years?"

That's the case, Jamie's mother understood it after a little thought. Don't look at her now taking care of her son full-time at home, her husband is also a salesman in a large company, when her husband has extensive knowledge, of course his wife can also be imperceptible.

"Like Bill Gates, they're really one of the same kind of people in that regard, but Alice Wang is years ahead of time. ”

Not to mention that it has been many years, Jamie's mother smiled bitterly: "But I think it should be okay to take the university entrance examination a little, right? I heard that Gates dropped out of school because it was really boring to study law, and then he established the Microsoft company." But now that Alice Wang Ke is still in middle school, why should she choose a major she likes?"

"Haha, then she might just go straight to becoming a computer professor!" Jamie's father laughed: "Let your peers be your own teachers, or professors! If this happens, it will be the news of the year! No, no, I have to change careers to become a journalist quickly, this is obviously big news!"

"Don't think about those things, drive seriously!" Seeing that her husband had slipped the car, Jamie's mother hurriedly reprimanded: "Still a reporter! Do you think that a good mouth and aggressiveness are enough for your career? Do you know how to write press releases? Alice can play part-time jobs, so you should honestly sell your range hood." ”

Well, that's right, Jamie's father is a salesman who works in a home appliance company~

"Well, listen to you. ”

Still smiling brightly, Jamie's father took the steering wheel and sped towards his destination.
