In mid-May, it is the day to go to Africa again. After all, if you want to study Caesar's DNA, Alice must first obtain genetic samples of other chimpanzees. As for the chimpanzees as the sample, it is more appropriate to find one from the zoo, and of course, they are personally searching for the forests in the Great Rift Valley of East Africa.

But this time, it took at least three or five days of travel. After all, just by a plane to Cairo and then by helicopter to reach the forest at the bottom of the valley, it would be a long time on the way back and forth, and at least a whole week of blank time would have to be freed up. So, she had to coordinate her work before this.

To talk about work...

First of all, Microsoft and Cisco systems are the least worrying about.

Microsoft, which has already been listed, is developing well. After announcing the upcoming news of Windows 20, it is expected that it will bring Alice a million-dollar cash dividend every month in the year. At the same time, after having a large amount of funds, Gates was also allocating the largest share to it, and a huge recruitment of employees is constantly underway. As of mid-May, a full hundred programmers have been integrated into it.

Isn't that the same with Cisco?

A multi-storey headquarters building has been filled with two hundred employees, and the busy work has made everyone tired. Just imagine, the order placed by President Reagan himself covers all the switches and routers required for government offices at various levels in several states on the East Coast are already a giant with transaction volume of more than 30 million, and Cisco's annual net profit last year was only 28 million!

You know, the profit margin of routers is terrible...

This is the first priority order, and due to the ibm incident, many large, medium and small enterprises are also coming in. In fact, Sandy has hung up the phone to Alice more than once, saying that too many business has overwhelmed all employees. And she is unable to recruit more people on a large scale, because the space in the office building is really limited...

But no matter how tired she is, almost no employee complained. Alice stipulated the company's articles of association a year ago, promising that when a company goes public, every programmer can buy stocks at the internal price of the company, that is, implement employee options to make drugs. Working for the company is working for herself. No one doubts the prospects after Cisco go public, so no one will reject this opportunity to make herself a millionaire!

Because, Cisco is really developing too fast at present.

Everyone clearly remembers that at the press conference these days, the technology minister, one of the founders of the company, and shareholder Leonardo Posack introduced the media how amazing the orders flying like snowflakes were after the switch product. After statistics, Sandy concluded that at least 60% of the first batch of orders that were influx were old customers who purchased routers.

It was at this moment that many people suddenly discovered a problem that they had hardly paid attention to before.

As for the current almost blank Internet hardware market, as the leader, Cisco, as the leader, invents a new product and updates the old model, it will trigger an ordering frenzy for the entire market and all its customers. In this way, whenever a new product is released, the company will inevitably usher in a moment of performance surge, and all programmers and Cheng Xuyuan... of course, there will also be a new wave of overtime work.

Alice is very understanding of this phenomenon. This is equivalent to the wave of change and market sensation caused when Jobs launched the IPOD, iPhone, and iPad and updated them.

And it also needs to be included in the market position.

That list of competitors, even the first Lucent Technology, has the quality of its routers as Cisco's previous generation, let alone other companies?

Although with the technology of Bell Labs, it is estimated that in a few months, Lucent may develop a new router equal to Cisco's current level. But by then, it's time for Alice...well, it's time to throw out the third generation.

It's really stress-free.

As for the current situation of ibm, it is still very talked about. The centipede died without being stiff. Although this scandal caused its stock price to plummet and its image to be greatly damaged, after nearly two months of efforts, including cash flow offsets, implementation of preferential policies at all costs, and secret exchanges between senior management and government officials, it has also been held up.

But it was just a hold on. It can be expected that for a long time, ibm's stock price could only remain at 75% at its peak, and daily profits were greatly reduced.

During this period, Alice did not take the opportunity to make any trouble with it, such as taking the opportunity to acquire stocks. After all, this incident has no historical trend to provide guidance, so it is better to have less connections.

Then, there are some other trivial matters in your career.

Regarding Bantam Book Company, Alice has not released new books for half a year, but Brown editors can't urge anything about cultural people to do creation. "Jurassic Park" and "Bloody Fairy Tales" are still leading in sales. Even if they are no longer at the top of the New York Times bestseller list, it is enough to maintain the sales of thousands of books per month.

Of course, in this regard, Alice did not intend to make a lot of money from it from the beginning, and it was purely a playful nature. She insisted on having any purpose, apart from the evil taste of branding her famous works on her own mark, she just didn't want the public to feel that she was a technical maniac and a businessman full of money.

After all, as the so-called young female artists, few girls will reject such titles.

Then, in terms of DreamWorks, "Alien II" is still in the preparation stage.

Yes, the preparation work before a movie starts will be very long. The bigger the investment, the more it is, the more it is. One month is not enough to change much.

At the very least, Alice spent a lot of money on this movie that was "remake" by herself, looking for special arms dealers and heavy industrial factories to produce equipment. This time alone will not be completed in one month, not to mention that Cameron also has to cast, recruit crews, find shooting venues, etc. Lawrence also has to contact major theaters and related media for advance publicity and promotion work, and what he has to do is simply a basket of things.

Then, for the Electric Entertainment Company, which was acquired by itself not long ago, it can now be said to have ushered in a peak period of development. After the injected sufficient funds of five million US dollars, a new round of employee recruitment and production of new projects were launched vigorously, and the employees' enthusiasm was even more enthusiastic.

According to the schedule they gave, "SimCity" will be launched around the fall of this year. A new product, a six-month work cycle, is already a conscience masterpiece for the current Electronic Arts industry.

It seems that that's all.

In addition to doing regular directing of the Windows NT project and having no time to communicate with emails, Alice was really idle for a while.

Yes, otherwise she wouldn't have the energy to be as busy with strange scientific research as she is now, right?

But even so, if you want to set out to Africa, you have to wait for one thing to finish.

"Alice? Alice! Open the door!"

In the early morning, just as Alice and her family were chewing sandwiches at the dining table, Sissi's knocking suddenly sounded at the door.

"what the hell?"

Oscar was drinking milk, but was shocked by the sound of her pounding the door and almost spit it out.

James just finished breakfast and was about to pick up the newspaper: "It seems that Xixi has something big to come to you, Vivi, why not hurry?"

"Woooooo, it'll be fine right away."

After eating the last sandwich in a few bites, Alice quickly ran to the entrance and opened the door.

"Why is it so slow!?"

Xixi stood at the door. Although she was well-dressed, there were still some bread crumbs on the corner of her mouth. She obviously hurried over: "Look at this!"

Alice ignored the envelope she handed over first, but smiled and shook her head, stretched out her hand to brush away the bread crumbs from the corner of Sissi's mouth: "Look at you're in a mess, did you eat sandwiches this morning?"

Xixi coughed, wiped the corner of her mouth, and handed it on the envelope: "Look at this, idiot!"

Alice's eyes focused on the mud of the envelope.

"This is... Eaton's exam invitation!?"

"Yes, Eaton's invitation to the exam!"

Sissi screamed and hugged Alice: "Invitation letter! Alice, I can go to Windsor Town for an exam!"

"Beautiful job, beautiful job!"

The soprano at the door attracted the whole family. Hannah had a blueberry in her mouth and patted Sissi on the shoulder: "There are thousands of girls who want to sign up, and you are still a transfer student, which is so rare."

"We must thank Ashley's grandma!"

After screaming, Sissi still had her whole body hanging on Alice: "If she hadn't known the principal, I would definitely not have succeeded!"

"Yes, yes."

Alice deeply agrees with this: "There must be many students with higher grades and comprehensive qualities than you. How about you, my dear, do you want to give your thanks to Ashley?"

Xixi glared at her: "Stupid bastard, my application materials don't have to be bad. Even with my real skills, I can still take pictures of the top 100 people, okay?"

"Annoy you sisters."

Sophie stood in the entrance with a smile: "Since Xixi's invitation has arrived, then Alice, yours should be sent to the email address, right?"

"Oh, yes, it's necessary to see!"

Only then did Alice remember that she and all her friends applied for Eton: "Let's go, Xixi, come to my mailbox!"

"Don't slap my ass!"

"It's yours~"
