The Goddess Shines on America

Chapter 58: , Cisco is finally going to raise funds

   When Alice finally returned to Los Angeles... everything was quiet.

Although she was kidnapped during the drug dealer shootout in Albuquerque, she was only reported briefly on state television and newspapers. Although she received gifts from many condolences at the hospital, it was at best to this extent. Up.

   After all, it is not the Internet era, otherwise it would have caused a sensation in the United States.

   In the next period of time, Alice once again returned to an ordinary life, without the thrills of drug dealer kidnapping, and without today's participation in the market meeting tomorrow. After all, this is the main theme of life. Especially now that she has also graduated from elementary school, which is the longest summer vacation in her life, how can she not enjoy her life well?

  Of course, because of the more free time, Alice and the Bossac couple have a very high frequency of conversations, so as to keep abreast of the company's development progress.

   In short, Sandy finally gave up the plan to develop a more sophisticated router after Cisco registered in the living room for a month. At this time, she has also spent four thousand dollars in funds, making the already limited funds even more pitiful.

   In the hot summer, the cicadas can be heard everywhere. One morning, Alice was wearing a short-sleeved shirt and cropped trousers, standing in her corridor, while she was chewing on chewing gum while she was talking to Professor Bossack on the phone.

   "So Alice, we plan to start seeking financing from venture capital companies. The initial goal is set at about half a million US dollars. With this money, the company's development speed can definitely increase to a higher level. What do you think?"

   Possack is very anxious now, and he now realizes that starting a business and his normal life are so different. Although the couple have small savings and can make up tens of thousands of dollars with loans, they are more than enough to buy a car and a house, but when they spend this money on the development of start-ups, it is really not enough!

   Although this has nothing to do with Sandy's arrogance, the four thousand dollars has indeed been spent in vain. Although this amount of money is equivalent to their monthly salary, as authentic Americans, their husband and wife are also burdened with car loans and mortgages at the same time, plus various insurance and tax pressures, which can really be used to develop the company's funds. Really not much!

Alice chewed on chewing gum: "Half million dollars is not a small number. There are currently three people in our company. The working capital is only 6,000 yuan, and the registered amount is only five yuan. No matter how you think about the prospects, The description is majestic and brilliant, and the managers of those venture capital companies can't throw so much money, right?"

"You mean... the financing amount is too high? Five hundred thousand should not be too high, right? Although we are relatively small, your technology will indeed lead the development of the times. Internet hardware technology, those Silicon Valley venture capitalists do not As for not recognizing its development potential, right?"

   Hearing Bosak say this, although it is not logically appropriate, Alice can't help but cheat.

   The Posacks obviously don’t know the inside story of the venture capital industry.

  Although they are telling the truth, which entrepreneur did not blow up his career when he came to a venture capital manager? Especially here is Silicon Valley, the cradle of the sunrise computer industry, a typical area with the cultivation of nouveau riche.

   There are too many small businesses in Silicon Valley. After all, the basic equipment required by Internet companies is really just an office, a garage, three or two people, and three or two computers to register. The cost is really low. Don’t you see, many big companies in later generations were born out of the garage?

   So, just like the Hollywood studios, it is really established every day, every day it goes bankrupt, and countless talents have come forward and succeeded in succession. Like the current Cisco company, there are no one thousand but eight hundred in the entire Silicon Valley. With five yuan of registered capital, several thousand yuan of working capital, and two people, you want to easily get hundreds of thousands of dollars in venture capital?

   Even if they are "dignified" Stanford University professors, this is a bit idiotic...

After all, the threshold of the computer industry is said to be very low, and high is also very high. The so-called title of professor of computer science... Neither Gates nor Jobs was born in the computer science department. Gates studied law at Harvard, but look at them now. ?

It was also at this moment that Alice could feel more intuitively why the Bossac in history has searched for more than two years and more than 70 venture capitalists, and finally received 250 from Don Valentine. Million. And the reason Valentine was willing to give them a 250 was because he had suffered a big loss from Jobs...

Rubbing her forehead, Alice grinned at the corner of her mouth, but only the voice could pass through: "Then you guys will come on, and strive for a million-level investment directly. That's fun. But ah, Leonardo, Don’t forget the agreement we wrote into the contract. If you can’t find financing in the top 30 venture capital companies, I will increase the equity ratio."

   Bossack laughed loudly. What is the concept of thirty? Even if you stop a taxi during the rush hour in Manhattan, you can’t be so unlucky, right?

"No problem, no problem! As we agreed at the time, if Sandy and I really can’t find financing in 30 venture capital firms, then you can just add money to the paid-in capital account, and I’ll definitely give it to you. Rewrite the distribution of shares!"

   "Haha~ Then you can do your best~"

   After continuing to chat briefly, Alice hung up the phone very satisfied.

   "Hey, sister."

   At this moment, Hannah, who had been listening by her side for a long time, blinked her big eyes and said slyly: "Why are you laughing so badly? No matter how you look at it, it's all bad intentions."

   "Hey hey~ Hannah, do you want to see your sister become the chairman of a super company?"

Alice hummed and patted Hannah’s head. After the latter yelled and pulled her hand away, she reached out and touched her red head: "Wait when I make a lot of money, what do you want? I can buy you anything. Come on, my dear, what gift do you want for your birthday next year? Book in advance now?"

Hannah’s shiny eyes turned round and round. At any rate, she was also a ten-year-old "big" girl. She frowned and thought for a while, and then it seemed like she had made some difficult determination, sonorously. Said: "I want a full selection of Transformers toys!"

   After finishing speaking, her white and tender face flushed red in an instant, and her big eyes stared at Alice fiercely, apparently "no jokes I like boy things" look like!

"Uh…"

Alice was really surprised by her sister’s hobby. After all, her bedroom was always full of Barbie dolls, not just the kindergarten stock. In fact, Sophie bought another one for Hannah last month. …

   However, the next question Alice thought of was...

   "Transformers already have it? Ah no, it's in theaters? Oh no, Hannah, when did you watch this animation, why don't I know?"

   Alice is really a little dazed. Of course, she knows that Transformers was originally a Hasbro toy, and then it was adapted into an animation by Japan. But when it happened, she really didn't know!

Hannah saw that her sister didn't mean to laugh at her, she was relieved immediately, but immediately changed to a look of contempt, and said with her lips: "Is it just released this year? Almost all the boys in the class are watching, I Speaking of Weiwei, you are only two grades higher than me, so the generation gap is not so big, right?"

   said, still not forgetting to give Alice a more contemptuous expression: "I thought I was going to be in seventh grade, it would be great? Isn't it just across the street from San Anto? Cut~!"

   "Oh oh oh oh, Hannah Hannah, I was wrong, come and come, go to the living room, go to the living room, my sister will cut the apple for you~"

   "Hey? Do you want to eat an apple? Okay, okay, but you have to cut it into six petals, six petals, don’t count anything else..."

   Just as Alice and his sister entered the living room arguing, James sat on the sofa and just put down the newspaper in his hand.

   "Oh, Weiwei, you came right in time. I have something to tell you."

He beckoned to call Alice, James looked at her with satisfaction and said: "The Los Angeles City University Federation is about to be held. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com UCLA, California Institute of Technology, University of Southern California and many other universities are going to hold celebrations, your father I am definitely going to participate. So, are you interested in taking a look too? You can meet many experts and professors there, which will be very helpful for expanding your network."

   If ordinary people listen to the following sentence, they must find it weird. For a quasi-seventh grade child, how can it be necessary to expand the network of university professors?

   However, James said so naturally to Alice.

   "Southern California, UCLA, Caltech, tusk, dad, why did I suddenly find out that you are so good~"

  At the same time, as soon as Alice finished listening, she danced with her feet, rushed to her father, and gave him a big kiss on his face!

   "Hey, so many spitting stars!"

   "Haha~ I can't do it, I can't do it, who told me to have such a good dad~ University Federation, haha, it's Dad who knows me!"

   The last sentence was even spoken in Chinese. Hannah stood aside and blinked inexplicably: "Viwei, what are you doing so happy? Is there anything fun to go there?"

   "What's fun? Ah~ of course!"

   Alice sat down on the sofa, picked up an apple, and quickly peeled it up.

   "It's all universities, Hannah, it's all the Internet, it's all money!"

   still stood on the side inexplicably, Hannah didn’t understand her sister’s meaning very much, but there is no doubt that the dollar signs must be swaying in her big blue eyes, like a slot machine.

   "Oh... okay, give me Apple."
