The Goddess Shines on America

According to Microsoft's statement, the press conference will be held at one o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, and all participating media must notify Microsoft of the number of media that will be dispatched by fax in advance.

From early in the morning that day, the relevant staff began to arrange the venue. According to the number of reporters they received, they looked for a square outside the company headquarters, which was filled with hundreds of chairs. The square has been surrounded by a simple cordon a long time ago, and Microsoft's own security guards acted as security inspectors.

The scale of Redmond is not very large, and it is only a population of more than 50,000 when it comes to full play. It can be said that it is a small city shaded by green trees. But in such a small place, Nintendo's US branch has been set up successively, and news of Microsoft's listing has appeared. How can we not ask the surrounding residents to come and watch?

As early as in the morning, some elderly people who didn’t need to go from 9 to 5 walked around the square. Of course, they also took a walk. But today, they came to this area near the Microsoft building by accident, undoubtedly rushing to the press conference. of.

While the workers were still setting up the venue, they could still see that there were always one or two short Asian men wandering so far near the square. That is undoubtedly that Microsoft's new neighbor in this city, the employees of Nintendo's US branch stationed in 1981, are staring at the details of the launch of this new IPO.

Furthermore, although the announced start time of the press conference was exactly one o’clock, as early as 11 o’clock noon, more than a dozen reporters had already arrived, and they had already learned by ③long ③wind ③wen ③ww￡w.cfw● xn≤et Borrow tickets to come to the center of the square.

At twelve o'clock at noon, almost all the seats were filled. From the United States and even the United Kingdom, a total of 132 media reporters came to the press conference. There was a constant buzzing sound in the wide square, led by several major media such as The Wall Street Journal, and many long guns and short cannons had been set up in front of the seats. It can be said that, except for the forefront role that was scheduled by the large media, all other reporters tried to make themselves sit more forward.

"God, it's so exciting!"

And just at the cordon on the edge of the square, a big boy with a sense of violation was standing there.

"Microsoft's press conference, they must be announcing the second largest shareholder! Alice, oh~ it must be Alice!"

It's not Haripness, who else?

As early as when he saw the news in the recent tabloid news, Harry did not hesitate to believe that their guess must be correct. The King Alice in the list of executives announced by Microsoft must be his beloved novelist Alice. wire!

It's a pity that Amy, who works in the bookstore, didn't have time to go to Redmond to watch a press conference, so Harry knew that he came with a mission today. The camera in his hand was already hungry and thirsty, he was waiting to capture Alice's picture and pass it to Amy!

Gradually, time began to approach one o'clock in the afternoon.

It can be seen that a group of people are coming from a distance from the Microsoft headquarters building, the number is about 20 people.

"Look, see, Bill Gates is here, hurry up and take pictures!"

The astute reporter was already thinking about taking a photo. The long guns and short cannons were immediately aimed at the first person who came. Blond hair, baby face, and glasses were not the main protagonist of this conference. Bill Gates could still who is it! ?

But the overwhelming come.

"Look, look at that girl!"

An excited reporter noticed something sharp-eyed, and subconsciously yelled: "Little girl! Asian girl with black hair! King Alice! It really is the King Alice who has just become famous in the entertainment industry!"

The call was okay. The reporters who were sitting aside couldn't help it. Those who could rush to the cordon rushed over, and those who couldn't rushed directly to take a photo. Following Bill Gates, Paul Allen and other people, the girl who walked far from the Microsoft building, who is not Alice?

"Haha, that guy Steve, I've been in the entertainment section for so long for so long, I wrote this manuscript today!"

"Oh my god, I said that those tabloid reports are not chasing after the wind, can be called by this name, and can be successful in the news, how can there be so many coincidental names? It's just one person!"

"This girl is too low-key. She has rarely given any interviews, and she has few basic public appearances. I heard that the last time she participated in the Tonight Show, she was afraid that public opinion would recruit people from the Children's Rights Association into the house..."

Alice was so far away that she heard the whispers of the reporters clearly: "Bill, you'd better say it soon, after I go up there will definitely be endless."

As the distance approaches, the sharp-eyed and brainy reporters can also see that it’s not here yet. Alice is walking alongside Bill Gates: "No problem, Alice, but don’t turn our press conference into a star. Interview."

Alice chuckled softly: "Of course."

When the people sent by the company arrived at the scene, the reporters who were still boiled immediately quieted down. They all went to everyone. Seeing Bill Gates walking on the high platform alone, no one was not excited. However, all those who are willing to share their hearts, paying attention to Alice who is standing in the audience for the time being.

"Dear media reporters, good afternoon everyone."

Facing the constantly flashing cameras in the audience, Gates said: "This press conference will announce two contents. The first one is the change of the company's shares and management personnel after the public listing to the majority of shareholders.

Countless reporters in the audience held their breath, but they basically did not look at Gates, but at Alice who stood inconspicuously in the corner.

"As of the close of the first day of listing, Microsoft has raised US$61 million, accounting for 20% of the company's total equity."

"The company's chairman, chief executive officer, chief software designer, Bill Gates, himself, owns 35% of Microsoft's shares."

Gates said slowly, and all the reporters in the audience were recording them frantically.

He paused for a while, and then said: "The company's second largest shareholder, chief technical adviser, Alice Wang, holds 30% of technology shares."

After saying this, there was still a dead silence in the audience, and the only thing that could be vaguely heard was the rapid recording of the writing by the reporters.

But there is no doubt that among the hundreds of reporters in the audience, no heart is beating fast. The big news is really big news. Several of the people present did not come with preparations. The snapped photos can be confirmed to the public as soon as they are released. The Alice in the list announced by Microsoft as early as the IPO is indeed It is indeed the one who is well-known in the entertainment circle!

Moreover, the term technology stocks has also been highlighted by all reporters at the same time!

"The company's third largest shareholder, Paul Allen, holds around 15% of the shares..."

No one paid much attention to the next news. It was nothing more than single-digit, or even decimal-point, common holdings of management and employees. It's just that it's not free time for questioning after all, reporters must endure even if they are full of questions.

"Posted! Posted! Definitely posted!"

Harry was already satisfied. The girl standing in the corner, the beautiful big-breasted sister Alice, don't even think he was standing on the edge of the square, but he didn't spare the Kodak film in his hand at all. After just a while, I have already taken countless photos of Alice with a telephoto lens!

"Amy will definitely like it very much. She will date me when she is happy. I am not single anymore if she is dating me. Mom, your son, I am finally about to find a girlfriend!"

"……what's the situation?"

Alice murmured.

"what's happenin?"

Next to him, Paul Allen was noisy by Gates' horn, and he didn't hear Alice's words clearly: "What?"

"Look there."

Alice pointed straight to the edge of the square. There was a young man who was taking pictures near the rostrum and kept taking pictures: "Since we came, the flashes there have been on. I'm really convinced, isn't it a bit cloudy today? , A kid passing by to watch the excitement is so arrogant!?"

Allen haha ​​laughed: "I thought it was something. Doesn't this just show that Microsoft has a very large influence? Look at this full of reporters, how many companies can attract so many when they first went public. people?"

The number is one, the key is the gold content. The logos of The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, and The Washington Post couldn't be more obvious. The Nasdaq Stock Exchange is in Washington, while Wall Street is in Manhattan. The Seattle Daily reporter also followed to the next city. "Popular Electronics" was placed in the front row by the Alice advocates. This is all across the country. The famous paper media in the industry!

"The above is the change in the shares and positions of the company's shareholders and management after the listing of Microsoft."

After reading the long list, Gates also knew where the highlight of the day was. In fact, the reason for holding a press conference with great fanfare and actively invited several heavyweight paper media to get the next second news. .

When Gates put away the information in his hands, all the media staff knew that there seemed to be a highlight.

Many people who haven't given up ~www.readwn.com~ even after Gates finished reading Alice's share of shares and positions, they directly drafted news headlines.

Obviously, the next news must be Alice introducing herself~

Sure enough, I only heard Gates say: "The next news will be announced to everyone by the company's second shareholder, Miss Alice Wang, who also serves as the chief technical adviser."

Gates immediately walked off the platform, and when Alice in plain clothes walked up with ease, there was a click, and all the reporters in the room stood up directly, not to mention wasting all their film without money! !

"I knew it would be like this, it was just walking the red carpet."

As soon as he stepped off the stage, Gates smiled bitterly: "But I also want to scold them, this job is really what Alice can do."

Allen and Ballmer stood in the corner and laughed softly.

Then they looked at Alice who was standing in front of the stage together. (To be continued.)
