The Goddess Shines on America

Chapter 44: Bezos, New York

  The hometown of my birth, Albuquerque, New Mexico, has a Microsoft company. This is an honor for Jeff Bezos.

At the age of 14, Bezos was determined to be an astronaut or a physicist, and his garage in his home had engineering experiments or scientific experiments that he did. At the age of 16, he could install a windmill and use an arc welding machine. Up.

   However, when Bezos stepped into Princeton University where Einstein coached in his later years, his interest turned to computers again. After all, now is the period of earth-shaking changes in the computer industry. He is deeply aware of the development prospects of this industry and devotes himself to the study of two bachelor degrees in electrical engineering and computer science.

   However, even though he has shown the potential of such a genius in science and engineering since he was a child, Bezos knows from his bones that he is actually a literary and artistic youth who loves reading. Before entering university, one of his biggest hobbies was to ride a bicycle deep into the Gobi Desert in New Mexico, and then look up at the sky at a 45-degree angle with a little melancholy.

   Seeing the arrival of college summer vacation, Bezos's literary and youthful illness can't help but reappear. So he notified home with a phone call, and then immediately went into battle, carrying only a large blue, one-meter-high travel bag, as a backpacker, carrying only a few hundred dollars in cash, and he came to say leave. Just take a trip.

   Then, he came to New York.

   Manhattan in midsummer is much hotter than hometown, and the heat island effect of the big city makes Bezos unable to stop eating ice cream. The backpack stayed in the hotel. While licking a youthful vanilla cone, he wandered down the street where the crowds were standing shoulder to shoulder. After a while, he passed by in front of a bookstore.

Bezos looked curiously at the roll-up banner at the door. On this half-person-height poster, a black-shaded dinosaur was roaring sideways, alone in a green jungle, and a wild breath suddenly came to his face. .

   ""Jurassic Park"?"

   He curiously asked an Asian girl next to him: "New book promotion is going on in the bookstore, right?"

   "Oh yes sir, the classic work of the talented newcomer Alice-Wang, absolutely not to be missed."

   The girl smiled at him very cheerfully, and Bezos immediately realized that this was an extremely beautiful Asian girl. The black hair of the other party fell to the waist without splitting, and the facial features of the face were exquisite and full of beauty, especially the big blue eyes, which seemed to be talking, shining with moving light.

   "Have you read it? Oh, I mean, did you go in and read it? How about this book?"

   Bezos gave a cursory sweep, and he was a little confused about the girl's age. If she is still young, she is not short, and her overall development is obviously good; but if she was born in high school, she is still more childish, and she is not a beautiful girl with a baby face.

But what embarrassed Bezos was that the girl’s cup was really not that big, because the shirt was obviously made for younger girls, so after wearing this shirt on her, it couldn’t hold back. Those two pairs of towering peaks.

   No, it should be. It made the already majestic mountain more obvious.

"Of course it is very exciting! Go in and have a look, Jurassic Park, the owner's common cloning technology has brought the dinosaurs back to life! Now is the time for the new book to be promoted. The launch date should be from the end of August to the beginning of September. You can consider ordering in advance, a book is not expensive anyway~"

   A sentence of dinosaurs, a sentence of cloning technology, Bezos's interest was indeed mobilized, and he immediately walked into the bookstore.

   "Huhu, it seems to be very popular."

   Standing in front of this top bookstore in Manhattan, Alice proudly puts her hands on her hips, looking up at the name of the bookstore.

After a month of preliminary preparations and market research, the main round of promotion for "Jurassic Park" finally began. At this time, in the bookstore, there was a set of three-row newspaper racks rented by Bantam, dedicated to display Put her this Virgo brochure.

   "Hey, Alice, the cone you want!"

   Coming across the sidewalk from the other side of the road, Cici walked towards Alice with a McDonald’s vanilla cone in one hand.

   It’s the end of June, and St. Anto’s is on vacation. As sixth grade students, Alice and Cici have graduated from elementary school.

   Yes, the girls can get rid of the whole name of elementary school students, and then promoted to pre-seventh grade middle school girls. What makes Cici feel a little strange is that when she learned that she finally became a middle school student, Alice seemed to have a different kind of excitement. She seemed to have a strange obsession with the eighth grade, and kept thinking about some inexplicable things. s things.

In the second year of middle school, according to Alice’s Japanese pronunciation, it sounds very sensational, but Cici didn’t learn much because she couldn’t straighten her tongue. Just like Japanese, it’s hard to beat her tongue. The same volume.

   Of course, the lives of the two will not change much. After all, the middle and high schools and elementary schools in Culver City are connected together. It is only a five-minute walk from Lincoln High School to St. Anto. Therefore, even if you become a middle school student, it is nothing more than moving the place where you got off the bus for a half-minute drive, and nothing will be affected.

So now, after finally bidding farewell to the hard-working student life and ushering in the nearly three-month summer vacation, at the request of Alice, Cici came to New York with her and went to the scene to watch "Jurassic Park." "'S new book promotion!

   "Well, McDonald's products must be high-quality goods, here, Cici, let's go in and take a look?"

   Speaking of it, when I met Bezos at the door, Alice had just crossed the road. At this moment, after receiving the cone that Cici handed over, she took the other's arm, and then strode in.

The    bookstore is full of customers wandering around, and a lot of people gather in the area on the first floor. Since this is the summer vacation, many parents bring their children to the bookstore to hang out, making this area very noisy.

   Bezos is of course also in the bookstore. He also noticed that the girl who was a big Cup just now and his good sister also came in to hang out. From a distance, he waved to Alice.

   "Wow, Bitch, what's the situation!?"

   Seeing a handsome college young man and Alice waving at each other, Cici was shocked: "We've just been apart for less than five minutes, and you seduce an old college man!?"

   "It's just saying hello, what to seduce...Hey, what does Bitch mean? Do you want me to scratch you!?"

   Cici dodges Alice's claws extremely dexterously, and rushes into the crowd quickly all the way, stupefied that she has managed to pass through the tens of thousands of flowers without touching her body. Seeing this, Alice also chased it like the wind, disappearing into the crowd in an instant.

   Of course, Bezos couldn't hear what the two girls were talking about. Seeing them disappear from the field of vision, he turned his attention back to him. In front of the new book promotion booth, a dozen young people were discussing together excitedly.

   "Hey, man, do you think dinosaurs can really be resurrected?"

   "Idiot you, since it's all science fiction, what's weird about resurrecting dinosaurs? Didn't there still be cute ETs wandering around the earth some time ago?"

   "You are an idiot!? I'm talking about the possibility in reality! This brochure says that scientists use cloning technology, but what about the raw materials? Is it possible to "Back to the Future" again?"

   "I am more concerned about the word ‘park’, and the storytelling in the brochure doesn’t mention this. Is it an abstract generalization?"

   Bezos did not rush to participate in the discussion, but first read the brochure carefully. This is a simple three-folded page. In the most eye-catching position, a line of golden sentences makes it impossible for anyone to ignore.

  "The boutique debut of the talented newcomer, the inspirational ideas of the Chinese female writer, welcome everyone to the wonderful science fiction world built by Alice-Wang, and enjoy a swim in the mysterious and unpredictable Jurassic Park!"

   "Alice-Wang is indeed a name that has never been heard before."

   Bezos suddenly heard the voice of a mature man. He turned his head to look around, but saw a man in his thirties standing next to him, reading the brochure with a smile.

   Bezos felt that the man was familiar: "Sir, have we met there before?"

   He looked at the man's clothes carefully, and the other man appeared vigorous in a black shirt and light blue jeans.

   "Oh... I promise we haven't added it, man, or I will remember you for sure!"

   The man's voice was quite high, but then he changed the subject and said: "By the way, man, do you think this book will look good?"

Bezos said without hesitation: "It will definitely be wonderful. I have been to many new book promotion conferences. They are also newcomers. Few can get a full three newspaper racks in this bookstore. This is not The treatment that ordinary people can get!"

   The man looked out the window, UU reading www.uukanshu.com. On the busiest street in Manhattan, there are so many noisy people that people can hardly see the busier road.

   "It makes sense, man, it seems that you are also a reading lover, do you often visit bookstores?"

   Bezos looked more and more familiar with the man in front of him, as if he had seen him somewhere not long ago. Suddenly, an aura flashed above his head, and Bezos suddenly realized.

   "Ah...oh my goodness, you are Jobs!?"

   He was surprised: "Is it Mr. Steve Jobs of Apple?"

   "Hmm... Exactly."

   The man raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Excuse me, are you...?"

Regardless of being polite, Bezos put aside the "Jurassic Park" brochure, and squeezed his hand with both hands: "Hello, Mr. Jobs, my name is Jeff, Jeff Bezos, Princeton A college student, I am your most loyal fan!"

   At this moment, Bezos is really not how to describe his excitement. As he is studying computer science because of his ambition, the name of Apple Jobs is really impressive!

   "Well~"

   Just then, a girl's voice rang behind Bezos.

  Although his voice is very sweet, Bezos shivered suddenly in a moment of effort.

   "I don't care about Mr. Amazon being a fan of Mr. Apple, but...please don't throw the flyers casually? The BOSS will be angry..."
