The weather is sunny at Los Angeles International Airport. Even though it is still a cold February season, the physical feeling is much more comfortable than the Washington metropolitan area on the Northeast coast. As early as the plane, Alice took off her thin sweater from her down jacket. When she finally walked out of the airport exit, her small suitcase was heavier than before.

"Hey, Alice!"

As soon as he saw his daughter walking out of the street, Sophie, who was waiting on the street, waved and shouted: "Here!"

"Oh, mom~"

First, when I saw my mother wearing a brown windbreaker, Alice smiled sweetly, picked up the suitcase with one hand and ran over quickly: "Aren't you still busy today? Why did you come to pick me up in person?"

"Because your dad needs to prepare lunch"

Sophie touched Alice's head with a smile and took her suitcase: "My daughter has gone to develop fighter jets for the Ministry of National Defense. Can't she take a taxi home by herself?"

Alice rolled her eyes: "In fact, I didn't fly to Vinton Street without flying the F-16, because I was already worried about the people. Tell me, what was the surprise of the phone call last night?"

As early as last night when she was talking in the hotel, Sophie mysteriously told Alice that there was a surprise waiting for her after returning home, which made Alice guess whether her parents wanted to add another younger brother and sister to her.

"Let's talk about it when you go home, let's talk about it when you go home."

While speaking, Sophie had already put her suitcase in the trunk and opened the driver's seat door, so Alice rushed into the passenger seat.

But just as she was wearing the seat belt, Alice frowned again and stared at the white mark on the seat belt: "Hey, mom, where did this dirty thing come from?"

"What? Oh, that one."

Sophie burst into laughter: "When I went out camping the day before yesterday, Oscar was sitting in the passenger seat. Just as he was drinking a box of milk, James happened to let the car over a big rock. As a result... do you imagine it?"

"Wow, my dad did a pretty job."

The morning plane, so when Alice finally arrived at her warm home in Sunny California, it was time for lunch. When the car had just parked in the street outside the house, through the window, Alice saw her father cooking from afar.

"Hey, Alice! Welcome home!"

Having heard the sound of the engine, a flowing red-haired figure immediately appeared in his eyes. Hannah threw it out of the house like the wind, and jumped and gave Alice a big bear hug.

"Oh~ Hannah~ You've become fat!"

"Oh~ Aly~ Your breasts are bigger!"

Then, seeing a stubborn boy appear at the door, Alice suddenly narrowed her eyes: "Hey, Oscar, I heard you sprayed your milk all over yourself?"

"Mom!? Didn't you agree not to tell Alice!?"

"She found the traces on the seat belt herself, and I can't do anything about it."

Bypassing Oscar, who was screaming, and walked into the house with his sister's hand. He could smell the fragrance of Chinese food from the kitchen from afar.

Alice sniffed: "Well~ sweet and sour carp, farm fried meat, shredded pork with Beijing sauce, tomato and egg soup and fried river bamboo shoots, are so hearty today?"

Oscar had already entered the house and looked at his sister with a strange look: "What a dog's nose?"

Alice looked back and raised her head and smiled: "Are you envious?"

"cut!"

The dining table was filled with all the food. When James saw his daughter enter the room, he also brought the last plate of fried river bamboo shoots to the table at the right time. Before he could even untied his apron, he said happily: "Come and try your father's skills, Vivi, sit down quickly."

Alice looked at the plate of fried pork with satisfaction: "I used pork belly, and I can smell the spicy flavor half a street. It's so great. I said, Dad, mom, what day is today? Why are you so excited?"

It's not normal to think about it. Alice came to this conclusion carefully. Although she had just solved some of the matters in Lockheed, the development of yf-22 must have her own benefits, but it wouldn't make her family so happy, right?

"In fact, Alice, we have two good news to tell you."

Everyone sat down together, Sophie said happily: "The first thing is that Fortune magazine plans to write an article for you. We believe you will agree, so we told the reporter that he will come to the door tomorrow."

Alice nodded: "It's just an ordinary interview, which is quite easy to deal with, but it's no problem. But this is just an interview with Fortune. Are you so happy?"

Sophie thought for a moment: "So, my dear, do you have a specific understanding of your current value?"

This really stumped Alice. Eaton's schooling, the establishment of a laboratory, the filming of a movie, and the preparation for investment in Japan have occupied most of Alice's time. Of course, as for the follow-up of game development by Electric Art Company and the follow-up of training base construction by Hei Shui International Security Company, it is not a trivial matter, enough for anyone to be busy for a long time.

Therefore, since Microsoft and Nasdaq successfully sued ibm, Alice has never cared about the stock market. Even when Windows 20 was released and 30 began to develop news was released, Apple sued Microsoft for cooperation and copyright issues between the two companies, and she did not use her brain to give Gates full responsibility.

"Let me think about it. I read the Wall Street Journal a few days ago that Gates's net worth has risen to 300 million US dollars, right? It's on the Forbes Rich List."

Alice wrinkled her nose: "Then I'm just over 200 million yuan. This is just one listed company. What else can I do?"

This sentence undoubtedly produced a wonderful reflection among family members.

Hannah and Oscar were fine, they just gave their sister a thumbs up, but James and Sophie kept smiling bitterly.

"Please, my dear, don't you see how old you are now?"

Sophie said with a lot of laughter and cry: "At the age of fifteen, I just rely on my own hard work to become a rich man worth 200 million US dollars. Isn't this enough to surprise people all over the world? And that guy Gates only has one Microsoft. How many companies do you have under your command? Have you ever considered what outsiders think?"

Looking at her mother's excitement, Alice swallowed three pieces of greasy pork belly in one mouthful and rolled her eyes: "I'm so sorry, we haven't yet entered the era of the flood of mobile Internet and social media. No matter how others think, my circle is only so big, and my feelings are limited~!"

If there was a business partner next to her at this time, she had to sigh again, because Alice suddenly proposed two new concepts. However, the whole family had heard her talk about these two concepts a few times, and was not very surprised.

"Then when you were in Eaton, didn't your classmates tell you these things?"

This one is there. Alice swallowed seven or eight pieces of greasy pork belly in two bites, mixed with three big mouthfuls of rice and said, "Many people have asked me, and there are still many boys who are trying to court me, but they are all blocked by Sissi and Wuya. Well, but that's it. When I went to Lockheed a few days ago, the members of the project looked like they met their idols. Oh my~"

After saying that, after half a bowl of tomato and egg soup, Alice burped: "The rice I cooked is so delicious!"

After dinner, of course, everyone went back to their houses and had fun. Alice called all members of the SoS group early and agreed to meet in Xixi's mansion at 7 o'clock in the evening. Then, throughout the afternoon, she was young and successful, and she really had a lot of work to be busy with.

After all, Sophie has overseen her duties and asked the reporter from Fortune magazine to come to her home for an interview tomorrow.

Damn my stinky mom, my daughter asked for trouble for her as soon as she got home!

Alice certainly knew what "Fortune" would ask.

I called the corresponding company several times and the fax was quickly obtained.

It’s really not a bragging thing to say that Gates is the fastest billionaire in the world with wealth appreciation.

Microsoft, which earned $60 million on the first day of its listing, has already brought Gates a net worth of $300 million after a whole year. Alice, as the second largest shareholder, also owns more than $200 million in assets, which is undoubtedly true.

Of course, she is worth the value, unless she sells all the stocks, she will not have that much cash. But there is no doubt that she has already been on the Forbes rankings with Gates, and she is a fifteen-year-old girl.

Cisco's booming development is also fruitful. Whenever competitors launch new products, they will immediately launch the next-generation model with better performance. This technology-first hard skill allows Cisco to suppress all its peers without any suspense.

Whether it is a router or a switch, Lucent Technology, which ranks second, can only follow Cisco's butt, and it is as big as the gap between Alibaba and JD.com. Moreover, this gap is suppressed by force technology, and whenever Lucent thinks that it finally catches up, it is widened again. To be honest, this is really speechless.

Actually, if you think about it carefully, Alice also agreed with the suggestion made by Posack not long ago: It is time to hire a professional manager for Cisco.

At present, this responsibility is also served by Sandy Posack, and her main responsibility is the customer service supervisor. So many customers, so many after-sales problems, so many software vulnerabilities repair and upgrade is not a simple task.

There is no doubt that the editor of Fortune will definitely focus on Cisco's news. After all, it has been the industry leader since its establishment, but it has not yet been on the market.

"Well, look for this rhythm, the next issue of Fortune is definitely a selling and selling rhythm."
