Chapter 207, busy April

April is a busy season.

After its listing, Microsoft ushered in its period of rapid development, and new employees joined the company every day. When news of Windows 20 being listed in July 1986 came out, the company's stock price ushered in a new surge. The next day, the financial media published an article commenting on how different this operating system would be compared to the previous one.

When many people were quite interested, when Microsoft held that press conference, the official stated clearly that this was "the crystallization of wisdom from the joint efforts of all engineers."

In other words, it is not the company's second largest shareholder and technical consultant Alice Wang developed it alone?

As the company went public, in line with the public's requirements for the disclosure of information of listed companies and the curiosity of celebrities, Bill Gates made his first appearance in a talk show in mid-April. As a college dropout who has developed a company for ten years and successfully listed, his experience is too legendary. Therefore, when this episode was broadcast, I don't know how many people from inside and outside the industry watched it together, Gates's own photos immediately appeared on the homepage of the Seattle Daily.

It was during this conversation that Gates Capital disclosed various details about Alice.

"When she handed us the disk with the Windows 10 installation software engraved, everyone in the company was frightened. At that time, Paul and I even held an executive meeting to investigate commercial spies in the company! But in the end, it turned out that this was indeed made by Alice himself after learning about the news about our development of Windows!"

"She is a very thoughtful girl, and she has a strong learning ability and her logical thinking ability is as good as a computer. I saw with my own eyes how she memorized all the commonly used Norwegian words that she knew nothing about in advance in just three hours!"

In addition to introducing Alice like everyone, Gates also expressed his views on the recent ibm incident.

In particular, the forced suspension of a certain cooperation.

"Yes, the matters related to the joint development of Internet-type operating systems by Microsoft and ibm at the end of last year have been terminated after multiple negotiations between us."

As the interview ended here, everyone could clearly see how serious and depressed the expression on this new and thirties millionaire in her early thirties was.

But then, he made a news report: "But Microsoft will continue to develop the project. The reorganized project will be renamed to WindowsNT system, namely new-technology. The first round of new employee recruitment wave after our listing is prepared for it. According to the project team's technical consultant, Alice, we will build a technical team of about 200 people by June."

At the show, when Gates suddenly made the news, he thought how excited the audience was. Of course, the host would not miss this opportunity and immediately asked: "The team will be built before June, so how long will the project itself last?"

“It will be a long time.”

The picture displayed on the TV is very clear, and Gates' expression is frank and serious: "The ibm intrusion incident has given people all over the world a warning. Every company must be cautious about network information security. This new system is for server computers. I believe that no one will want us to bring it to the market in advance, right?"

It is precisely because of the first round of interviews after this listing that Microsoft's stock price once again increased by 15% after the opening of the second day, becoming a brilliant new star in the Nasdaq Exchange!

In contrast, ibm's blue-chip stocks listed on the New York Stock Exchange, which are now so bleak that almost no one cares about...

Over the past month, the Blue Giant held press conferences twice, focusing on explaining his innocence, and twice fell into chaos. All financial newspaper readers in the United States clearly remember that the news picture the day after its second press conference was held. At that time, Cecor's nose was hit by a thrown leather shoe, which has become the biggest joke in the industry.

So in late April, when the Nasdaq exchange put ibm a piece of paper high above the federal court, no one was surprised.

Alice even expressed her love for this and gloating.

However, whether it was Gates' interview or ibm's continued unluckyness, she did not participate in this whole month of April, because an equally important thing was waiting for her to come and work hard in person.

Location, DreamWorks Company reception room.

The door was opened.

A Japanese man in his forties walked into the house and even wore a typical flat suit. Although he was not very tall, he was serious and his brown eyes on his face gave people a deep aura.

"Let me introduce it."

Another black-haired man walked into the house quickly, his eyes like a falcon, but he was Wuya's Greek father, with the rank of lieutenant colonel, and was then the squadron leader of the Delta Special Forces.

"Alice, this is sextant, Wen Yan, the mechanical designer I hired for you. Sexant, this is Alice-Wang, your boss."

The man walked up and bowed slightly to the girl: "For the first time we met, please give me some advice."

"Oh, lucky to be lucky to be lucky to be lucky to be lucky to be lucky to be lucky to be lucky to be lucky to be lucky to be lucky to be lucky to be lucky to be lucky to be lucky to be lucky to be lucky to be lucky to be lucky to be lucky to be lucky to be lucky to be lucky to be lucky to be lucky to be lucky to be lucky to be lucky to be lucky to be lucky to be lucky to be lucky to be lucky to be lucky to be lucky to be lucky to be lucky to be lucky to be lucky to be lucky to be lucky to be

Alice took back her hand that had just reached out, and then looked at the man who was almost her father curiously: "I have read your resume, Mr. Sextant. It's really rare. You have been in the United States since high school, but you still adhere to Japanese etiquette."

“Because I never became a U.S. citizen.”

The man named Sextant said calmly: "It seems that Miss Wang has read my resume. Have you decided to hire me?"

What I said is really grateful for his emotional intelligence...

"I graduated from MIT, studied for a master's and doctoral degree at Caltech, and then went to Princeton to study for a doctoral degree. I worked for seven years at the world's top arms dealer, General Electric. Such a man with a legendary experience actually came to the crew of a film company to be a mechanical designer..."

Alice looked at the sextant with interest: "Men with stories are the easiest to fascinate women. Can you ask why you were lobbyed by Akaman?"

Sextant had no intention of hiding it and said calmly: "General Electric is a military-industrial enterprise after all. Japan's economy is currently highly developed, so my communication with many colleagues is often troubled. So I think that before the economic crisis in Japan, I am not suitable to continue working in that kind of military-industrial enterprise."

Wow...

Very good and powerful reason.

Qianjia also said that he had never been a US citizen, and then he hoped that the motherland would have an economic crisis. Uncle, is it really okay for you to do this?

"Okay, I won't care about your messy reasons, let me show you something first."

Alice was too lazy to care about the Japanese’s own affairs, so she turned around and picked up a file bag from the sofa: “This is a design drawing I prepared yesterday, you can take a look.”

Of course, he did not doubt that he had the sextant, so he immediately took it over and sat on the sofa to remove it and seal it.

At the same time, Akaman nodded and said, "It seems that there is no problem, so I'll leave."

Alice came up and put Akaman on his shoulder intimately: "Hehe, Uncle Levier, don't rush to leave. I have a lot of things to look for you now."

As soon as he finished speaking, the sextant, which had just taken out a thick stack of drawings, looked up and said, "Then please continue in the corridor. I need to concentrate."

Alice: “………”

Qianjiao and Akaman walked out of the reception room and closed the door, and she immediately muttered: "I said Uncle Levier, the reason why this guy couldn't do it on GE must be because he was self-inflicted, right? Sure, right?"

"Haha, but his expertise is indeed outstanding."

Akaman nodded and smiled, "If you just talk to him about technical matters, there is no problem. At most... Well, if other experts make some mistakes, they will definitely be criticized by him."

Alice nodded: "Then let's not care about that, hey, Levi, how is Ducky there?"

“Black Reef Trade.”

Akaman nodded clearly and said, "Duqi has contacted the branch of the Hong Kong Triad in Roanapura during the call this morning, and now he is transporting some ordinary goods for them. In other words, the business has officially opened."

"Is the Triad Association..."

Alice narrowed her eyes: "It's okay, let him develop a little bit, after all, did you just set out from Barbados in January? Then uncle, I'm giving you a task..."

"It's time to choose a training ground for our Blackwater International, right?"

Akaman nodded clearly: "You give some specific requirements first, so it will be more convenient for me to run errands. The deserts of Arizona? The Gobi in New Mexico and Texas? There are too many places to be used as training grounds."

"Hmph, I've chosen a goal in this regard."

Alice said with a smile: "There are a lot of cheap land in the Great Dismore Swamp in North Carolina. As a training base, the harder it is, the more professional it is, what do you think?"

“Big Dismore Swamp?”

Akaman suddenly realized: "I really know this place. Three years ago, several teams had special training there, which was a natural training ground. If a base was built there, it would definitely be helpful for the company's publicity."

Then he looked around and saw that the quiet corridor was not like someone would eavesdrop, and whispered: "Alice, are you sure we can get the support of Vice President Bush?"

His volume was very low in this sentence.

"Don't worry, Uncle Leviel."

Alice also smiled softly and leaned towards him: "Because I introduced my Cisco to the Pentagon, Bush is now popular in the military, as long as..."

Suddenly, the door to the conference room opened.

Sex-Yan Fumiyoshi, this Japanese man who was only forty years old, was no longer as calm as before. He held a thick stack of design drawings in his hand and said excitedly: "Ms. Wang, these things are all designed by you!?"
