The Goddess Shines on America

Chapter 2: , This year is an eventful autumn

   "Oscar, are you okay?"

   "Not good, not good at all!"

   At the breakfast table, facing Alice’s intimate greeting with a smile on his face, Oscar clutched the bag on his head and yelled with a grin.

   "Oscar is also really unlucky. It's okay to go down the stairs, turn around, and even open the toilet door by himself. Why did you fall down at the last minute?"

   A blonde girl walked steadily from the kitchen. With a gentle smile, first put an fried egg into Alice's plate, and then hand two rolls of bacon to Oscar and Hannah.

   "And I fell very hard~"

   Looking at the big red bag on his brother's forehead, the smile at the corner of Alice's mouth has not faded since the beginning.

so close!

   As soon as Xiongzi's brother opened the door, she can be regarded as clearing all traces!

   But even if Oscar still closed his eyes, he broke into the toilet!

   In furious anger, Alice couldn't manage that he was her own brother. She fell to the ground with the power of mind, and then walked out with a stride. Although poor Oscar woke up, there was no way to find the real culprit. He could only hold his head at the dining table with a bored face, admitting that he was unlucky.

   "Oscar was injured today, I will share your oatmeal with you!"

   Sitting across from Alice is my sister Hannah, who is just ten years old this year. Compared with Alice's Asian-like mixed race and Oscar's perfect Chinese appearance, Hannah has inherited the genes of her grandmother, with long crimson wavy hair and the same blue eyes that give her a strong British style.

   "Look, Hannah is really a little lady."

   Alice praised it, and filled Hannah with oats: "Dad, I have good news for you. I have already worked out the router."

  The head of the table is naturally Alice’s father James.

"So fast?"

   James just took a sip of coffee and was surprised: "Didn't you say that the development only started this week? Now it's only four or five days, and it's done!?"

   Sophie also stopped in surprise. Although the whole family knows what Alice is up to recently, this is a computer hardware. It was made in a week?

   Is this efficiency a bit too fast?

Alice smiled triumphantly and saw a piece of oatmeal falling on the napkin. She stretched out her hand and bounced it back to the dining table: "It's just a router, not the entire MS-DOS operating system. It's been a week. Enough. Dad, if you are interested, I can show you tonight~"

   "Cut, is there anyone urging you, why are you so anxious?"

Oscar clutched the swelling on his forehead and curled his lips to Alice: "Could you be staying up late these days and nights? It's also a shame that you didn't doze off in class during the day, so what's the big deal? ?"

   Sophie had just finished dividing the meal for the family, and while she was seated, she frowned at Oscar and said, "How do you say, Vivi has worked so hard, isn't it for the good of our family? Come on, Vivi, eat another bacon."

While Alice took over Bacon, James touched his chin and said softly: "It's okay to be anxious. I'm also watching "Popular Electronics". The development speed of the computer world can be said to be changing with each passing day, and the competition is very fierce. In this way, Weiwei, you will ask the school for a leave tomorrow, and I will take you to apply for the patent for this router."

Alice swallowed the whole bacon in one gulp: "It is indeed very intense. Stanford University must be working on this router. They are also the cradle of the entire Silicon Valley, but the progress is hard to say. But when it comes to patents, dad , You can rest assured of this."

After eating the eggs in three or two bites, Alice went on to say: "If you look closely, you will find that although people in the computer industry are very motivated to work, they still don't have a high level of knowledge of patents in this industry. Um...but it's fast. Well, after all, PCs have been on the market the year before, according to the current rate of popularization... well, that’s okay, then apply for a patent."

   Alice is really not too worried about the patent problem of the router. After all, it is clear in history that this thing was pioneered by Cisco, and the company will only be registered at the end of this year.

   It is 1984. Of course, there is already a network in the computer industry, but before the birth of Cisco's router, it was an expensive, separate computer that played a special role in the network. Furthermore, different types of networks cannot be easily interconnected, which led the Stanford teacher couple to make up their minds to make a cheap little guy that can connect to different networks.

   Although the Bossacks may have had similar products in the first few months of the company’s registration at the end of the year, they are definitely not better than Alice in terms of efficacy.

   Soon after breakfast, it was time for school. The **** school bus had appeared on the street, and Alice walked out of the house with her schoolbag on her back and Hannah’s hand.

   When she took the lead to board the school bus, a beautiful woman came into view automatically.

   With brilliant blonde hair like Sophie, the driver Lawrence smiled to the two girls: "Welcome in the car, Alice, Hannah, oh, where's Oscar? Did he ask for leave today?"

   Alice smiled and said, "He bought a bicycle last Friday and rode it away this morning."

Hannah didn't say a word, her eyes turned round and round, and she pulled Alice's sleeve forcefully. Of course, Lawrence didn't suspect him, and smiled happily: "Oscar is true too. I rode away by myself. Come on, you two get in the car."

The school bus of St. Anto Elementary School drove all the way, and the students from various households were picked up for class. More than 30 children were always talking and laughing in a low voice, but when Alice walked into the car, the sound inside the car suddenly It has dropped another level.

   "Hey, Alice, good morning."

   "Hey, Hannah is so energetic today, Alice, where is your brother?"

   "Oh, welcome to the car, the two sisters of the Wang family~!"

   Along the way, in the much quieter carriage, about three or five classmates immediately greeted them, while the others looked at them with different expressions and continued their small talk.

   "Well, good morning everyone."

   Alice responded with a smile without a smile, almost no different from talking to herself, and quickly pulled Hanna to the rear of the car.

  In the almost full car, only the last row of seats was vacated for two places, and another dark-haired girl was sitting in the corner by the window, reading a newspaper carefully.

   "Hey, Cici, are you watching "Popular Electronics" again?"

   Alice sat down next to the black-haired girl and asked Hannah to sit on her right side and patted the girl's shoulder intimately: "Is there any news?"

   From the girl named Cici, a faint fragrance of orchids wafted. Although she also has black hair, her hair style is different from Alice's natural long hair, and her hair style is the standard Japanese style of Hime hair. That is, the long black hair is perm straight, all the way down to the waist, and there is a straight bangs on the forehead.

   Alice met this girl last year, and the other party was a transfer student who had immigrated from France. Undoubtedly, it was the quarter of the ancestry brought by her mother that made her unhesitatingly regard Cici as a necessary companion, and they also successfully became friends.

   What surprised Alice is that Cici is not as interested in cosmetics as many French girls, but has a natural sensitivity to the computer field, which is too unexpected.

The school bus rolled around. Hannah started chatting with her classmates. Cici put down the newspaper and said, "Now the major media are overwhelmingly promoting Microsoft's new system, and there are people here who are guessing when Gates will release the new system. Product. Hello, Alice, what do you think?"

   Alice touched her nose, but did not answer immediately.

   In 1984, it is indeed an eventful time.

   As far as Microsoft is concerned, since the end of last year, they have begun to promote their new product, the windows 1.0 operating system, at the computer fair in Las Vegas. Alice knew that at that time Bill Gates spent a full US$450,000 on publicity. Not only did the taxis in the city carry relevant LOGOs, posters on the back seat windows, and even the hotel pillowcases were printed. Related patterns!

   How many assets does Microsoft have at this time?

   Furthermore, when the trade fair officially began, Gates announced in a high-profile manner that the company would launch Windows 1.0 in the spring of 1984, the so-called unprecedented Windows operating system. With the early propaganda offensive, the curiosity of the public has long been bursting. How can we not let the media report Microsoft news all day?

   The reason why Bill Gates did this is precisely because of a little-known Visicorp company, because the other party is likely to develop a similar system before him, and has already started to promote it, which of course is not what he is willing to accept.

   The process is very interesting, and even intense, but if you say the result of this business competition, Alice is of course 10,000 rest assured, history proves everything.

   "Vivi? Hello, let me ask you a question."

Cici's high-pitched voice recalled Alice's thoughts: "Now spring is going to pass. They have no news yet. I think Microsoft is going to skip the ticket. Weiwei, do you think they can release the system in June? ?"

   Alice curled her lips: "June? It's not bad to be out at the end of next year."

   Qianqian stared her eyes: "You're kidding? Bumped for a year and a half!?"

   Alice curled her lips again: "Do you think I will tell you that, in fact, Gates hasn't built the system at all now?"

As soon as these words came out, Cici's eyes became even more round. Looking closer, her eyes were as crystal clear as emerald, exuding emerald green light: "You mean, Gates is false propaganda now? , What should he do if he can't do it!?"

Alice shrugged and said: "Then the vote will jump, and the industry will question, and the stock price will fall...Well, Microsoft has not yet been listed, that is, if he can't make the product in the shortest time, the credibility of the company The continuous decline will affect the main business."

   Cici nodded, frowned and stared at the newspaper closely, her mouth was muttering and muttering, her voice was extremely small, she just didn't know what she was talking about.

Hannah tugged on Alice’s sleeves, her voice soft and delicate: "Vivi, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com or you can help Gates and help him build the system. If you take action, it will definitely take a month. Can make it! Otherwise, Cici will definitely be angry~"

   "Yes, if I get angry, I definitely can't spare that Gates!"

   Cici nodded vigorously and said: "I must buy a Gatling machine gun, blast his headquarters in Albuquerque to pieces, and tell him to skip the ticket! No, false propaganda!"

   "Then you have to seize the opportunity, dear Cici."

   Alice looked out the window with a smile. Many middle and high school students were riding their bicycles towards the school, and many even had the heart to wave to the school bus. But she clearly noticed that she did not see Oscar.

   "The majority of Microsoft employees are Seattle people. I dare to bet you that in three or two years, Gates will move the headquarters back instead of staying in New Mexico."

Cici nodded again, and then, as if suddenly remembering something, she said loudly: "By the way, when it comes to false propaganda, how do you know that he hasn't built the system yet? You are not an internal Microsoft employee. , What nonsense!?"

   "Uh, did you just find out?"

   "...Are you laughing at me as an idiot?"

   "How can it be, dear Cici, your wise quotient is as high as 250!"

   "...Why do I still think you are scolding me?"

   "No, where is it? Isn't an IQ of 250 high?"

   Seeing Alice's innocent smile, Cici twisted her lips vigorously, and finally decided that she was not as knowledgeable as this girl.
