Chapter 86 Entrepreneurship
The residential apartment that Bella was assigned to is called the Lehman dormitory building, which is located on the west side of the campus, is four stories high, and consists of 112 apartments with two bedrooms, one living room, one bathroom and one kitchen.
Rumor has it that this apartment building is ready to be used as a graduate student apartment because of its complete facilities and comfortable environment, and now Bella has undoubtedly taken advantage of it, and she says to outsiders that she is lucky, and will never admit to using the infatuation technique.
There is an 18-meter-tall oak tree in front of the dormitory, which is 60 feet at this height.
The oak tree is the symbol of Stanford, and many important buildings are planted in front of it.
The taller the tree, the older the building.
Since it is 112 apartments, it can naturally accommodate 224 students, and the size of the Lyman dormitory is not large in Stanford, but the supporting facilities are very complete.
There is a laundry room, lounge, recreation room, piano room, mail room, computer room, storage room, bicycle storage, outdoor barbecue area, etc., which can meet most of the daily needs of students for entertainment and leisure activities.
The accommodation environment is very good, very quiet, all kinds of living facilities are available indoors, and the students in the accommodation have independent rooms, as long as they do not break the law and do not touch the school rules, no one cares about you.
Bella's roommate had finished reporting the other day and had put a sticky note on the door on the west side, but the person was not there and seemed to be out.
Bella didn't have any requirements for the orientation of the room, pushed the door into the east-facing room, put away all her belongings, and then took her bag and went out to walk around the campus.
With a few days to go before the official start of school, she headed straight for her goal, the library.
There are 20 libraries on the Stanford campus, with more than 8 million books and 260,000 rare books.
Regardless of how these books came from, knowledge is innocent, Bella's eyes were attracted by those cherished ancient books, many of which recorded some magical information from ancient times between the lines.
Bella can feel that the magic level of the whole world has been constantly regressing, ancient mages can move mountains and reclaim the sea, and their powerful magic power is comparable to that of gods, and in modern times, witches have been chased and hidden, and then in modern times, except for the ancient one and Doctor Strange, who can borrow magic from the demon god, the rest of the mages are all picky.
The general environment is getting worse day by day.
But those have nothing to do with Bella, and for the next two days, she has been reading books in the library, using the many records in the book to improve her psionic system little by little.
......
"Is pocket money enough? You should also pay attention to your body in San Francisco...... "Hanging up Charlie's phone, Bella suddenly realized a problem, her money in the bank is really a waste, and she should find some direction for investment.
She immediately left the library and went out in search of business opportunities.
Stanford University is located in the San Francisco Bay Area, which is the southern tip of the San Francisco metropolitan area, and the name here is Santa Clara County on the official map, and there is another name that is not marked on the map, which is Silicon Valley!
Silicon Valley is famous, with a population of over 1.7 million, making it the most populous county in San Francisco. It's also the headquarters of many big companies, including Apple, Hewlett-Packard, Yahoo, Google, and many more that she has never heard of, but which are well-known high-tech companies in the industry.
Bella's pickup is a bit of a novelty in Fox Town, but it's nothing here, with high-end sports cars on the road from time to time, and Silicon Valley hit hard by the Nasdaq's economic bubble, but there are still a staggering number of wealthy people here.
The license plate on the pickup truck has been changed from Washington State to California, and she is driving the car, looking for business opportunities on the road.
Bella doesn't know much, she knows iPhones, she knows Google, but what's the use?
Apple has not yet come out of the kidney machine, whether it will come out in the future, she thinks that there needs to be a question mark.
Even if Apple can still go to glory, a company as big as others will not accept her personal investment.
She took 300,000 yuan in compensation for the air accident, and she had already spent more than 30,000 yuan, and then saved some money for emergency, and the money that could be called was 200,000.
The average annual salary in Silicon Valley is $100,000, and there are so many rich people here.
Go to Apple's headquarters and say that you want to invest, invest 200,000? It's no wonder people don't blow her out!
It's not appropriate to buy stocks, these high-tech stocks are falling every day now, and the fall makes Bella panic, she feels that as long as she goes in, she has to be trapped! Why did Natasha's mother and ex-husband divorce? Isn't it because of stocks?
Walking around Silicon Valley, I really didn't see any business opportunities. Or maybe there was a business opportunity, but she didn't qualify for admission.
Since there is no way to invest, she is ready to start her own business!
She doesn't understand high-tech, what will she do? Kukulkan, Amaterasu, Shiva, Moses she knows.
After some investigation by Bella, combined with her own expertise, she is ready to open a grocery store that sells all kinds of magical items! Spirituality is secondary, the main thing is to let everyone buy peace of mind.
This kind of store is a bit of a slap in the face in Silicon Valley, she is afraid that it will lower the level of technology in the entire area, with Intel headquarters on the left, Sequoia Capital on the right, and Bella's magical item store in the middle? A person selling holy water appeared in the queue selling chips? That picture is really spicy, and she is afraid that people will beat her with RPGs......
Silicon Valley wasn't for her, and in less than an hour's drive along Route 280, she was in downtown San Francisco.
walked around the Golden Gate Bridge, which often appears in movies, and went to the famous Fisherman's Wharf to step on the spot, these places are not suitable for her to promote feudal superstition.
Along the way, she was also on the phone, asking people she knew to see who had friends in San Francisco and news about renting out shops.
Not to mention, she really heard a news.
"An old buddy of mine seems to be preparing to retire to Europe, maybe you can ask him." Chris who met during the Incognito incident. Redfield has good news for her.
Bella was overjoyed, according to the address to find the past, there was an acquaintance of Chris, the other party was also anxious to get rid of it, after a simple negotiation, she spent 85,000 US dollars to buy a two-story shop in the Philima district.
The decoration of this kind of shop is very simple, the more mysterious the better, Bella personally went into battle, carrying a paint bucket, and at the position of entering the door, a six-pointed star was drawn crookedly, which looked extremely rough, like a child's graffiti, but this is the effect pursued by the occult!
Symbols of unknown significance, from runes to Maori faces to voodoo ciphertexts, Bella painted everything she had seen on the walls.
