Chapter two hundred and ninety-two, beautiful reporters come to interview
When Leonard Olever walked into the living room of the house, he immediately sighed: "It's really different from what I thought, Alice, do you know what I'm talking about?"
Behind her, the photographer Kaye was busy moving the equipment to the entrance.
"Oh, I hope to hear it carefully."
The living room has been cleaned up long ago. Through the bright windows, Alice can directly see the interview car parked on the street. Of course, this is a magazine interview rather than a TV media, so the guy named Kale did not foolishly bring a camera in, but was preparing regular equipment such as a blindfold and a camera.
"It's completely no different from an ordinary family!"
Leonard wore a red Chanel suit, which was the one she specially prepared for today, and even owed a loan of $5,000. Not only the clothes, but the scent of Chanel No. 5 perfume was so strong that even Oscar King, who was standing at the stairs, frowned, but now it seems that she is obviously out of place with the surrounding environment.
"I thought that the teenager was so successful that you would not buy a mansion in Beverly Hills, but would have lived in a very gorgeous house. Just like... like the house No. 7 we saw when we first entered Winton Street!"
As she said that, Leonard also looked at the living room sofa with interest. She could tell at a glance that this was definitely not a high-end product worth tens of thousands of yuan, but just a common product in the furniture area of Walmart supermarkets.
"Well~ I'm sorry, I've disappointed you."
Alice first sat on the sofa and said to Oscar, who was watching the fun not far away, "Man, pour a cup of tea for the beautiful reporter?"
Oscar nodded honestly and said, "Wait. Oh, Miss Olever, what brand do you want?"
"That's fine for Nestle, thank you."
Leonard nodded to the teenager, and at the same time, Alice's parents were ready in their respective positions, but they were actually by their daughter.
Seeing this, Leonard put on his classic Louis Vuitton bag with one hand and asked expectantly: "Then Mr. Wang, Mrs. and Alice, since everyone has expired, we will start the interview now, can we start the interview?"
As early as this morning, James had a sweater of excellent texture and sprayed some cologne with politeness. He looked extremely handsome. Seeing Leonard's eyes at her husband, Sophie even felt a little chewy, and immediately responded: "Of course it's okay, Miss Olever, let's start now."
Fortune magazine is affiliated to Time Company, a company under Time Warner Group, and is a company with Time Weekly and Celebrity. It is both located in the "Time-Life Building" on Sixth Avenue in New York. It can be said that this is almost a "famous magazine building", while Fortune occupies the 15th and 16th floors of the building. The upper floor is the editorial department, and the lower floor is mainly the business department.
For a magazine that only published one issue the next week, the team size of 150 people in the editorial department and 150 people in the operation department can be said to be quite large. At least what Alice knows is that there is a very senior editor named Carol Rumes, an elderly lady who is already 60 years old. The main financial articles of Fortune were written by her.
Although she was not so arrogant that she had to interview Ms. Rumes, the current situation still made Alice a little puzzled: "Wait a moment, Miss Olever, please allow me to ask a question first."
When Oscar honestly delivered the tea to Leonard, she said: "Why is Fortune going to use my living room as the interview location? Is it because I have many companies, so it is not easy to choose a representative office?"
Alice's subtext is undoubtedly why she was not invited to the "Time-Life" building. After all, for most people, traveling thousands of miles to the building for interviews is a very important part of their personal career achievements.
"Ah, because many readers want to know you more... in-depth."
Leonard may have understood Alice's subtext, or just said along the topic: "Because for most readers, your achievements are of course worth curious, but your age is even more curious."
"It makes sense."
After muttering for a moment, Alice nodded and said, "Please start."
"Okay, then let me first ask Alice, this is also a question that many people around the world are very curious about, that is, why are you... so talented?"
This question made everyone in the room laugh. The photographer Kale pressed the shutter just right and took the lead in taking a picture of Alice's toothy smile.
"In fact, related topics, both earlier "Tonight Show" and "Times", are about IQ and learning speed, as well as the ability to understand and in-depth analysis."
This topic is indeed a bit old-fashioned, so Leonard didn't even record it. Then he asked: "Except for film directors and best-selling writers, the identity you know about outsiders is Microsoft shareholders, Windows 10 developers, Cisco founders, routers, switches and other Internet hardware products. These two identities were announced at a press conference after Microsoft went public. So what I want to ask now is, have you done anything before that?"
This question is really questioned, and James and Sophie nodded with satisfaction. Indeed, when a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl suddenly revealed her amazing achievements to the public, many people would be curious about what she had done before.
Alice thought for a moment and said, "The first thing to note is that I was only twelve years old when I developed the router. So I hope that I was a otakus who had been a bon girl before that would be disappointed."
These words were said lightly.
Then, there was a moment of silence in the audience.
“…Puff hahaha!”
The photographer Calle was the first to laugh. Leonard looked surprised, Sophie kept pursing her lips, and James' whole body became even softer. But at this moment, a red-haired figure had just walked into the entrance and asked in a daze: "What's wrong? The interview has begun? What are you laughing at?"
Sophie kept having fun, turned around and waved, "Hanna, come here."
"I said Alice, it's a very formal interview. Can you stop talking nonsense?"
“What ~?”
Alice gave Oscar a blank look. When Hannah sat on the handrail of the sofa, Leonard came to her senses. She first wrote the comment "humorous" in her notebook and smiled and said, "It's right, Alice is right. The Bon girl is indeed not something that ordinary elementary school girls can do. So, Alice...?"
"That's to trade stocks."
She then replied seriously: "For example, Apple's stock, we bought $20,000 in shares on the day it went public, and the money has been worth millions until now."
"So awesome!?"
Leonard was amazed, but did not rush to write something, but asked: "So this is your suggestion? However, stock trading often requires a lot of capital. Mr. Wang and Ms. Wang allow you to spend so much money?"
James and Sophie smiled slightly, while Alice replied calmly: "Well, it depends on my family composition."
Leonard immediately made careful preparations for recording.
"My father is a professor of history in UCL, and he just got married to his mother. Is it okay to have an annual salary of 100,000 yuan?"
"Then, hehe, Sophie is amazing. She is a practicing lawyer who graduated from the law department of Harvard University, and also has a British chartered civic accountant and an American certified public accountant certificate. When I first met my dad, I was a single nobleman with an annual salary of $500,000!"
"Oh, that's true. Dad, why did you catch up with mom? It will take only two years to teach Oscars how many tricks?"
"Ah hey!?"
"Oh, OK, OK~"
Well, this is all about saying that, not mentioning what Oscar and Hannah reacted, but the couple became shy. Look, James looked at Sophie with a silly smile, and Sophie quickly turned her head aside, just like a boy and a girl returning to adolescence. Crack, the cameraman Calle seized the opportunity and another precious set of historical moments was born.
"So that's the case. It seems that it's not easy."
Of course, Leonard was even more surprised, but curiosity and wondering naturally arose. Just like what she did when she first entered the house, she looked at the layout of the room.
"Then I'm even more curious. This question is probably left to Mr. Wang and Mrs. Wang. Since you were typical successful people when you got married, why are you still living in such an ordinary house?"
There is no doubt that Winton Street in Culver City is a typical residential area for ordinary middle-class people, that is, the middle and lower middle class gathered. Lawyers and doctors, who have just started their jobs, have a salary of over 100,000 yuan, and they may not be able to make up a single hand in a radius of one mile.
"Probably because I am Chinese, and Sophie agrees with my lifestyle."
James spoke plainly: "We Chinese have an old saying, "Don't show off our wealth. Like some so-called "authentic Americans", they earn a monthly salary of 5,000 yuan, but rely on a lot of debt to buy a Lamborghini worth 400,000 yuan to enjoy it. It is not our lifestyle."
