At the evening table, the family gathers around, and the table is full of hearty food. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"I just went back to school in the afternoon, and so many things happened again!?"
At this moment, James was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth: "You just went to the city with Oscar to repair the car, and you actually ran into ...... A pair of college professors? It just so happens to be in the computer department, and it's the second day you got that mail machine done!? ”
"It's a router, daddy, but Vivi is really good."
Hannah obediently prepared a knife and fork for James, and looked at her sister with a smile: "Although the couple are university professors, they were very surprised after reading Weiwei's work." And then all afternoon, I listened next door, and I could hear all sorts of strange noises coming from Vivi's bedroom, and there was a lot of shouting and screaming everywhere. ”
Alice patted Hannah on the head, snorted, and raised her juice glass like a little hero.
"I have made an appointment with them before leaving, let's go to Stanford University this Saturday to experiment with the specific capabilities of the router, after all, the equipment there is much more abundant than our home."
James nodded, as a professor at UCLA, even if it was only a history department, he could certainly realize the market prospects of this so-called router that his daughter was studying. The only thing that surprised him was that Alice was able to meet the couple in a café, which was a bit too dramatic.
"So Vivi, what are your plans? If that router really works very well...... Let Stanford pay you royalties for use? That's a lot of money! ”
Alice shook her head: "Please, Dad, how can we be confined to one university?" Not to mention the future development, for the time being, so many scientific research institutions and large enterprises can use this product, of course we have to set up a company! ”
"But I don't have the ability to run a business, you have to think about that."
James still smiled proudly, but his tone was still serious: "Your mother is indeed a law graduate, but she has no problem being a lawyer, and she can't run a business, at most she just gives some legal reference." If you really want to set up a company......"
He frowned and pondered for a moment, then said, "I'm afraid the Posacks won't be able to do it either, right?" They are certainly technically fine, but the operation of the enterprise needs to be driven by a professional management team. ”
Alice was a little surprised, her father had always given her the impression that she was just a simple history professor and a civilian scholar. It was a surprise to her that he pointed out such a sharp question with one mouth!
"Awesome, Dad, are you sure you didn't study business administration?"
She said happily: "This problem is easy to solve, the business volume in the early days of the company will definitely not be too large, how can Bossak say that he is also a university professor, and he is considered an insider." With their connections, the initial sales target is directly in front of you, isn't it? ”
The topic of dinner seemed to be contracted by the father and daughter, Sophie just watched them chatting happily, and asked Oscar about his physical condition from time to time, and Hannah's duty was only one word - eat!
"You mean, sell directly to major research institutions, right?"
James looked at Alice with satisfaction: "It seems that my daughter's business acumen is still good, but have you considered the issue of equity distribution?" Even if you reduce the scale to a minimum, at least you and the couple will share the dividends, right? After all, your age is here, and the specific business operation must be their business, and you estimate that it is just a technical shareholding, have you considered the shareholding ratio? ”
When James's series of analyses were over, I saw Alice looking at him with a rather depressed expression, and couldn't help but be happy: "What's wrong?" Look at me like that? ”
Alice sighed helplessly: "Dad, are you sure you're just a teacher?" Are you really sure you're not teaching history as an MBA class? That's too thorough, isn't it? I thought I needed to explain this to you! ”
This time, it was Sophie's turn to laugh: "Weiwei, I also graduated from the law department, you won't forget, right?" And I've been married to James for more than ten years, how can he say that he is also a scholar, what is unusual about me when studying start-ups? ”
"Okay......"
Alice had no choice but to shrug her shoulders: "Don't worry about the specific situation, in this regard, I can't let myself suffer." As for the shareholding ratio or something, let's wait until the company is ready to be established, now eat first, eat first! ”
For the next half hour, the family focused on gobbling it up. Oscar had just been beaten up in the morning, and it was when he needed to rely on food to supplement his nutrition, and the amount of food he ate was particularly amazing.
The time soon came to midnight, but today the Wang family encountered a major event, and the school gave the three children a full three days of vacation. So, as the clock approached nine o'clock in the evening, Alice still had the energy to go out into the yard and take a leisurely stroll in her relaxed mood.
Cisco ...... Isn't that really the rhythm of Cisco? ”
Muttering, she came to the side of the road, looked at the bright starry sky in the dark night, and kept pinching her chin.
"The history of Cisco, the history of Cisco's founders...... I really didn't know much about it in my previous life.,After all, the market value is high.,Who is interested in Baidu, a company that sells routers.。 Tsk, there are almost no historical records to refer to, even if the company is developing according to the general trend, can I handle it? ”
The sense of fantasy is really very strong, after all, even last night, when Alice wrote the IOS, that is, the Internet operating system developed by Sisco, she had clearly printed the logo of other companies.
As a result, this is only half a day apart, and she actually met the founder of the other family in the coffee shop?
And the real job to do, repairing Oscar's bicycle, was ignored......
Muttering in her mouth, Alice knows that if she grasps the pace of development, her "Cisco" is not unable to develop into a real "Cisco Systems Company". After all, isn't it just a seller of routers, switches, and Internet hardware?
For her, it wasn't difficult!
"Internet hardware vendors, then after the development of the enterprise, I will definitely need to deal with Intel, AMD, NVIDIA, Microsoft, Apple, Oracle, etc. Well, wait, what's going on? ”
Thinking of this, suddenly, Alice suddenly shuddered.
"The wheels of history are beginning to roll and turn!? A superpowered girl with a super high IQ has started the peak of her life after being reborn!? Baidu Encyclopedia clearly records that this is the day when the world's richest man Alice Wang is decisive!? ”
"Hmm...... It seems to be a good look, but then again, Baidu was founded in the late 90s, and I have the time to do it......"
"Wait...... I set up Baidu and then compiled my own encyclopedia myself? That's right, in the domestic market, penguins, forty thieves, and four major portals...... It's only been 84 years now, and I'm in time for it. Add up all these market capitalizations, and that's ......"
Once the brain hole is opened, the brain supplement can't be stopped, and when a sound of footsteps comes from behind her, Alice suddenly realizes that she seems to have been standing in place for half an hour?
"Sissi?"
Stepping on the green lawn was none other than her good neighbor, classmate, and friend who lived nearby, Sissi Lawrence, who had just immigrated from France a year ago.
"Hey, Cow Alice, what are you going to do on this rare three-day holiday?"
With a malicious smile on the corner of her mouth, Sissi's straight hair rippled behind her head, dressed in cool jeans and a T-shirt, her emerald green eyes stared at Alice: "Just when I had to work hard at school, you actually enjoyed a full three-day vacation because your brother was beaten!" Tsk, Alice, if you're so lucky, even God can't see it......"
"Well, so a lady needs me to buy a gift for her?"
Alice's blue eyes rolled, and she immediately rushed to Sissi's side like a kitten, and patted the other party's shoulder skillfully: "Say it dear, if you have anything you want, just tell me, although the yacht can't be bought for you, it's still okay to bring two strings of sugar gourds from San Francisco~"
"Oh, two strings of sugar gourds, it's so good, to have such a generous good friend as you, I'm going to be lucky in my life."
Looking at Alice's sweet smile, Sissi put her hands behind her back and raised her eyebrows: "Forget about the yacht, I've always been seasick, and sugar gourds are not something I like." That's good......"
With a shrug of her shoulders, she broke free from Alice's white and slender clutches and looked at the brightly lit house of the Wang family: "In another week, my father will hold a party at home and get together with his fox friends and dog friends in his career." Hawkers, they're all in their thirties and forties, I'm going to be boring, right? So, Alice, how about you dress up and be my playmate? ”
"Hmm...... Let's not talk about why I feel like a doll. Sissi, what do you mean by fox friends and dog friends? ”
Sometimes, Alice still has to sigh at the breadth and profundity of English. Fox friends and dog friends, obviously such connotative words in Chinese, put them in the language of this nation, but they are just dry words such as "a group of buddies" and "evil colleagues", which really makes her embarrassed to even say it.
"Oh, it's just a bunch of guys from publishing houses and entertainment circles."
Sissi shrugged: "My dad is not a professional venture capitalist, his clients, the manager of Paramount, the director of Disney, and the editor-in-chief of Random House!" ”
