The Pentagon's $10 million follow-up R&D funds for the firewall were soon arrived, and it took only five days before Alice left Washington. It can be seen that their demand for this so-called cybersecurity protocol system is indeed very urgent.

It is necessary to have high efficiency. After all, in terms of nature, the research and development of this product is not just the affairs of the Ministry of National Defense, because cybersecurity involves more than just national defense.

At the very least, we must know that the biggest difference between the National Security Agency and the CIA is that the former mainly relies on monitoring various communication equipment to work. When the Internet era came, their demand for firewalls was stronger than anyone else.

However, Alice is still very at ease to realize that NSA has not planned to play secret cooperation with her. Even if the firewall is developed, it will definitely be divided into military and civilian parts, rather than signing a confidentiality agreement to play conspiracy theories.

As for the reason, it is very simple. Firstly, Cisco is not even listed companies after all, and secondly, the development speed of the 1980s was different from the 21st century. After new things appeared, they still had to rely on a slow process to develop. It is also funny that the reason why many new industries and new companies developed so quickly and promoted so quickly was precisely because they rode the Internet to ride the ride-hailing.

However, although the ten million US dollars fell into Cisco's corporate account on the books, it was transferred to another corporate account in just one effort.

"Hei Water International has already started capital."

In the afternoon of early July, in an outdoor leisure area of ​​a cafe on Sunset Avenue, Alice said to Akaman, who was sitting opposite him: "But in terms of the startup team, of course there is no problem with ten quality..."

At this time, what was placed in front of Alice was a list. This was the fifteen elites selected by Akaman from the retired Delta troops and veterans of the Vietnam War after searching for his connections. In addition to the basic names and avatars, Akaman also recorded the areas that everyone is good at in detail.

"But is the number too small? Is fifteen enough?"

Akaman looked briefly at the bank receipt, which recorded the paid-in capital invested by Alice in the name of Cisco under the name of "company investment". So theoretically, Alice is not a shareholder of HeiShui International, but its shareholder is the entire Cisco Systems Company, but Alice's shares in Cisco are particularly large.

"As an instructor, fifteen is enough."

Akaman gave a positive reply: "When training in the recruit battalion, it is basically based on companies. There are an average of 100 people in a company, but only one to two instructors can be managed. The fifteen instructors, in addition to the less than four to five hundred people, Alice, hundreds of people are trained at the same time, think about what this concept is."

Alice leaned her chin and hummed, "One or two infantry battalions, but as a newly established company, it's okay to take photos of the security guards of two infantry battalions in one go. So, should I hire a special architect in the construction of the training center, or what?"

"No designer is used at all, kid."

Akaman laughed and said, "It's just a training ground. If you really want to say the designers, how can we make our personal design more professional?"

"But we are a company after all, so we should pay attention to the construction shape of the company headquarters and the front desk decoration."

Alice said: "After all, our business must have provided security for the rich in the early stages. If the company building is broken and the front desk is even more simple, how can customers trust our strength?"

Akaman thought about it and felt it was reasonable: "Then what do you want to do? I am just a CEO that holds 5% of the shares. Such a big thing must be handed over to you, girl."

Both of them were talking in a low voice. After all, although the content of their conversation itself was not a secret, Alice's figure was placed here after all. There was a couple in the outdoor leisure area of ​​the cafe where they were dating. If anyone talked about such content at the top of their voice, they would have to be watched by the people around the table as animals.

"Since it's a security company and can easily embark on the mercenary route, it's really necessary to be rough enough."

Alice thought: "The shape of the headquarters building is to be a pure black cube building, and the registration location is in North Carolina. Anyway, the land price there is also cheap."

The idea was Alice, and the specific execution was Akaman. He wrote down the requirements in notepad: "Pure black cube, what about the material?"

"We need to have good stone quality to reflect the texture. We also need to build a helipad on the top of the building. In addition, I will see General Dynamics people again before school starts, so I will buy a batch of arms from them!"

"It's better for me to go to this business."

Akaman smiled slightly and rejected Alice's idea: "The little girl is looking for a military enterprise to buy weapons, just like a little boy going to buy Victoria's Secret. It's so funny. Let me and those old guys come forward. After all, after getting the equipment, we are also using it. What do you think?"

Alice agreed after thinking about it: "That's right, after all, you know better what you will use during the training. Moreover, since employees are given priority to recruiting retired soldiers, they will definitely be the training of real guys. Uncle Levier, do you have any experience with the purchase list?"

"The Soviet AK and our carbines, as well as various types of rockets, machine guns, and pistols, are all the most basic. The employees of security companies are nothing more than two kinds of daily life. One is to do tasks, including being a bodyguard for the rich or corporate enterprises, and being a mercenary on the battlefield, and the other is to keep training in the company."

Akaman looked at Alice with relief, and his eyes seemed to wish she was her own daughter: "Alice, since you can get online with Cisco and the White House, when our company develops, big orders of mercenary nature will come one after another. I have to build the training system from the beginning, otherwise it will drag you down."

Alice has long been used to Akaman's look. Whether it is Sissi's father, Ashley's entire Italian family, or which relatives of the family want to see her look, they want her to be their daughter? Such a girl who has achieved great success at a young age is enough to make parents all over the world dream about it.

"Oh~ Then I'll do it like this. I'll give you this million, just spend it hard! Uncle Levier, don't save it for me~"

"Okay, I'll contact the relevant channels now."

Akaman looked at the time, stuffed the notepad back into his bag, picked up the coffee cup and said, "First of all, the company headquarters and the training center are built. Within a few months, my brothers and I will stay in North Carolina and not leave. Alice, when you are going to the UK, I will hang up the phone and go to the airport to send my daughter."

"No problem, it's covered by me."

The two stood up at the same time, and Alice handed a hundred-dollar bill to the waiter: "Katie, even if the extra one is given to you, tell Tom that the cappuccino can be thicker."

"No problem, Miss Alice."

The girl in golden braids smiled at her and then quickly walked into the store.

Akaman looked around and saw that a sweeper at the front door of the coffee shop was smiling at Alice: "What? Are you very familiar with this store?"

"I've bought it long ago, my dear Uncle Levier."

Alice said laughing and crying: "You didn't see 'Laurina', just opposite our DreamWorks, and this is a good store with a transaction price of 300,000!"

"Yes...

Akaman waved his hand happily, then drove into his own baby car and said goodbye.

Then, Alice naturally turned her attention to the building in front of her, and DreamWorks, which was ready to move at any time after choosing a new location.

As early as the morning, Cameron hung up a phone call and asked Alice to come to the company in the afternoon to talk about the preparation details of "Alien II". Otherwise, she would not have chosen the meeting place with Akaman. Now, after the former matters are basically settled, it is time to go to the next job.

"Oh, why am I so busy?"

As the cool-dressed girl walked into the front desk hall, McMillan, the staff member sitting behind the front desk, looked up: "Hey, isn't this Alice?"

Alice waved at him: "Hey Mike, did Cameron ask you to leave me a letter again? Where is that kid now?"

"Just in the conference room on the fourth floor, Alice."

McMillan replied, then as if he suddenly thought of something, he suddenly yelled.

Alice was about to walk to the elevator when she heard the sound and turned around and said, "What's wrong? Are you chewing gum and biting your cheeks?"

"Ah? Oh, no, no."

McMillan was a little excited. Seeing that Alice happened to stop, he asked tentatively: "I just want to ask, Alice, when will you be able to write a novel?"

"novel?"

Alice was stunned for a moment before she realized: "You have read my book, which one? Is it a Jurassic or a vampire?"

"I like it all!"

McMillan replied so simply: "And Alice, your subject matter span is so big. One is science fiction thriller, the other is magic thriller and love. What about the next book?"

Well, another book.

Speaking of which, I haven't copied anything.

Alice thought for a while: "It's OK to tell you, but it's important to keep it confidential~"
