The Goddess Shines on America

　　In fact, the investment in Bush Oil is really simple. Alice only needs to throw a five million yuan in favor.

　　Although the Bush family has a high status in the political circle, the two presidents' entry into the White House made them one of the top political families in the United States, but that has little to do with the business world. As far as Alice knows, until the Rio Olympics, the total assets of this huge family were only 60 million U.S. dollars.

　　 Yes, only 60 million dollars.

　　 Although in the political world, they can be called the wind and rain, and they are all celebrities, and they even have countless stories they have to tell with the local tyrants in the Middle East. But if you really want to put it into the family property, 60 million US dollars in the American political family is already a rare and huge sum of money.

　　 This is actually the same as the arms dealers. Whether it’s Lockheed, Boeing, or General Dynamics, even if you add up the market value and annual profit figures, you can get a Facebook’s 300 billion market value. There is not much money, but the nature of the company is there, so hard power and influence are far from comparable to a Silicon Valley unicorn.

Therefore, although the five million dollars is only a fraction of the monthly dividend for Alice, which is getting bigger and bigger, but for the oil company Bush is losing money, it is definitely a charity. Timely rain. For Alice, it is a super huge and cost-effective deal to exchange a mere five million dollars for a huge favor from the Bush family.

　　 It was night, and Alice went to bed in the Bush’s guest room. She would go to Capitol Hill in the morning, be introduced to a New York State congressman, and then rush to Manhattan Wall Street to find related financial companies. This is all work. If she weren't still a student, she would have had a secretary to arrange the itinerary, so it is necessary to take a break early, even if it is a superficial break.

　　 Well, the rest on the surface.

　　Energetic Alice will not waste a third of her day on acting as an ordinary person.

　　 In the bedroom at night, moonlight spilled into the room from the bright window, and the large empty bed was shining with silver light. The antique European-style decoration gives people a sense of historical precipitation, that is, a small desk is also beautifully made, not to mention the extremely fancy dressing table in the distance.

　　 Although Alice is a girl, she didn't sit in front of the dressing table.

　　 Just kidding, it's midnight, the mirror in front of the dressing table, which girl would dare to sit in front of it?

　　 So Alice is sitting at the desk, guarding a fax machine, a computer and a lamp.

　　 A stack of papers that have just been printed out are in my hand, and the ones that are still enthusiastic are sent from Cisco.

Unlike Microsoft, Cisco is a company established by Alice alone, and it is getting bigger and bigger, and its development speed is getting faster and faster. Compared with the "Ah funny" company that was just thrown aside by its own investment. , It can be too important.

　　 A new business has been in the company for a long time, and that is the cooperation with Lucent Technology.

　　 This company wants to cooperate with Cisco to develop network card modules and more efficient optical modules.

　　 To be honest, very boring content.

　　Of course, Alice knows what the network card module is. To put it more vividly, it is the circuit module with related functions on the external network card.

　　The network card module, sound card module, and graphics card module are installed on the external network card, sound card and graphics card respectively. Because of their existence, the network card is called the network card, the sound card is called the sound card, and so on. It's just that with the continuous enhancement of onboard technology, more and more network cards and sound cards have been integrated into the motherboard. Except for some professional fields, only the graphics card still uses external methods as always.

　　 This is indeed a very critical technology, because the network transmission rate is not only related to the bandwidth laid by the operator, but the speed that the computer itself can accommodate is even more critical. If the optical fiber loan is 100 megabytes, but the network card's carrying capacity is only 10 megabytes, then the Blu-ray movie will still take dozens of hours before it can be loaded into the computer.

　　 Of course, compared to the speed-up of laying fiber optic networks, it is much easier to upgrade the network card module, and it can be easily integrated into the motherboard. So with regard to networking, netizens in the 21st century only need to make a living and buy a sufficient motherboard. The rest of their energy is all left to complain about the operators.

Face up.

　　 As for the optical module...

　　 Simply put, the role of the optical module is photoelectric conversion. The transmitting end converts the electrical signal into an optical signal. After transmission through the optical fiber, the receiving end converts the optical signal into an electrical signal. It belongs to a component of the physical layer in the network structure. Routers and switches are used, but because its presence is weak, most ordinary users have not even heard of it.

　　 This is normal, because the optical module is just a basic component, and no one will buy this product alone. Ordinary household users will buy routers, and ordinary companies will buy switches, but who will take them apart and study the name of each small device?

That is to say, large server base stations, and large computer rooms of large companies, as well as the cloud storage field, cause the need to directly strengthen the network effect, so that some hot-swappable and non-hot-swappable external optical module components can be purchased separately. Play a role in strengthening the network.

　　 But there is nothing wrong with it. This component, which is hardly known by ordinary people, is indeed one of the cornerstones of the Internet hardware industry. It is absolutely understandable to say that the global Internet in the entire information age is built on countless optical modules. The corresponding relationship is like the Three Gorges Project to the national water conservancy, the Three Gorges Dam to the Three Gorges Project, and the concrete technology to the Three Gorges Dam. general.

　　 Therefore, Lucent's proposal for such a cooperation is of course one that Alice would like to see. It is impossible for Cisco to completely establish its status as the founder of the Internet by selling routers, switches and firewalls. More "skeleton products" are definitely fresh blood that it is in urgent need of adding.

　　 Just, this is really boring.

　　Because it is too infrastructure.

　　 Let Alice, who is used to selling the "Three Gorges Project" and building the "Three Gorges Dam", suddenly studied how to make better concrete. This is too basic...

　　 "Hey... Let Bosak do this kind of mess, I'm not interested."

　　 Alice curled her lips. Now Cisco has almost a thousand employees. How can all of them do post-maintenance, and they have to give the R&D department a bit of hard work?

　　 Well, yes, as of July this year, Cisco has recruited nearly a thousand employees.

The company’s new location has been selected, and it is still in San Jose. It covers an area that can fit two Yankee Stadiums. After this second location, the company’s headquarters will not be moved in the next 20 or 30 years, so Ellie Silk needs to be built in the style of an entire science park.

　　 It’s just that there is a lack of money at the moment, so the project has not yet started. Considering that the old building is really overcrowded, she has rented another seven or eight-story office building next door. This can be regarded as the second building of the headquarters, or it can be regarded as a temporary office area, because this situation will certainly not last.

　　 "Huh..."

　　 After making this decision in her heart, Alice who was sitting at the table let out a long breath, waved her hand and glanced at DreamWorks' July financial statements, and her mind started to turn around again.

　　 Well, it has nothing to do with DreamWorks. She has no plans to make a movie in a short time.

　　 is still Cisco.

　　Ipo is in progress.

　　Ipo is the initial public offering, that is, the company goes public, and the preliminary work is very complicated.

　　 The company responsible for the ipo has been selected, and that is Cici's father, the Wall Street company where Mr. Lawrence resigned and came to Los Angeles. Relevant details are handled by Sophie. Alice doesn't care much. Her mother has a bunch of top certificates in the industry in her pocket. How can such a high-level and free labor force be underutilized?

　　 However, Alice has a lot of warnings, don't worry, don't worry, work hard, we don't have time, we can wait for the market in November or December, just in time with Thanksgiving and Christmas.

　　 Of course, Sophie fully conveyed Alice's advice, and she also highly agreed, although she did not know the real reason for her daughter.

　　 "Well, then this one."

　　 Passing through a financial statement sent by Electronic Arts, Alice focused on an extremely important document.

　　 Continuous small investment for more than a year, she scattered the stocks held in major stock exchanges around the world.

　　 Early in Sophie

Before Fei and her father got married ~www.readwn.com~, she had a glorious history of relying on stocks to manage money and making a small profit. As a daughter, Alice had the same habit of course. Every day, every week, every month, the quantity doesn't need to be too much, one thousand, three thousand, five thousand, ten thousand, buy them in pieces, and sell them when the time is right. Although it is not worth mentioning compared with the annual dividend of Microsoft and Cisco, it is still a considerable number in real accumulation.

　　 87 million.

Thanks to this good development situation throughout the summer of 1987, if Alice sells all the loose stocks in her hands, she can immediately obtain such short cash-except for Apple, although it is not very effective now, she has always been Maintain the behavior of regular investment.

　　 Of course, the ability to make so much money is inseparable from her excellent stock trading ability. As long as you have a little network and a small amount of money, anyone can get the historical stock price fluctuation record of a listed company and a rich evaluation report. From this massive amount of data, we can analyze the next development of the state of affairs. This complex calculation based on a series of basic sciences, such as statistics, probability theory, and even the uncertainty principle in quantum theory, is enough to easily burn any one in the world. A supercomputer, but Alice’s clever little head is hard to resist.

　　 But for the little employee who edited this fax, Alice was about to laugh and say sorry.

　　Because this is not easy. Hundreds of stock names are listed vertically, and the printed documents are thick enough.

　　 But who told her to be an important customer of Citibank? (To be continued.)
