Chapter four hundred and fifty-four, the influence of cultural people
When it comes to the concepts of news and martial arts, they have always been complementary and have always been so interesting.
Unless a certain thing becomes real big news, and the media across the city, the whole country and even the world are rushing to report it, few people will pay attention to it except those who pay special attention to it.
No matter how small the circle is, such as three or five gangs in a school and a class, if a person is a person in the circle, it is his world. No matter how big the circle is, such as the entire entertainment industry or financial industry, if a person is not an person in the circle, even if a huge news breaks out, he will have no way to know it.
Alice Wang is shining in the technology circle. For any Silicon Valley worker, it is impossible for him to have heard of the rise of Cisco in the past two years.
A company that has been established for only four years, has been listed for a whole year, and has expanded its market rapidly with its excellent products. The soaring market value is second to none in the Nasdaq. For people in the technology and financial circles, this person, this company, and this stock have a rich potential value and significance.
Unfortunately, the girl herself is still very low-key on weekdays, after all, she is just a middle school student in the end.
In terms of daily operations of the company, Cisco's own professional manager is responsible for routine projects, including other industries under Alice. Those who contact each other directly every day are their own direct persons in charge. Although there are opportunities for outsiders to contact her, the average value is inevitably not high.
In this case, some things that use Alice herself as the business card will naturally attract special attention.
For example, a magic novel called "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" is about to be published!
This is a very strange phenomenon, because no matter which writer publishes which book, in the final analysis, it is just news in the entertainment industry. To be more precise, it is just a matter of scholars. The fan base is more than one order of magnitude worse than Hollywood movie stars’ new works.
But even though this is a relatively small circle, as long as people who are interested pay special attention to it, it will be a whole world.
In fact, judging from the frequency of publishing, Alice's creation speed can only be considered good. Although only half a year was separated by her first book, "Jurassic Park" and the second book "Blood Fairy Tale", and the thickness of the work was also quite large, it was not until the birth of this "Harry Potter" that made people anxiously wait for years.
Yes, in four years, I published two books with a total of 300,000 words, plus a relatively thin Japanese mystery story, and then this book now claims to be 500,000 words for children, which is just a good speed.
After all, for truly productive full-time writers, the amount of creation every day is amazing. As Stephen King said, even if it is not a formal creation, he will type out 5,000 words every day, and there are only two rest days throughout the year, one on July 4th, and the other on his own birthday.
Therefore, from the perspective of professional writers, in four years, two books, 300,000 yuan, one book, and now one book is 500,000 yuan, Alice's creative speed can only be called "good".
But after all, no one can look at one thing alone.
Is it a part-time job?
A girl who is only nearly 17 years old has developed her career in the technology circle to her current scale while working part-time writing on the New York Times best-selling list twice!
When an ordinary writer publishes books, it will only be a matter in the reading world, but when she writes a book, it really touches the hearts of many people.
You know, this young entrepreneur is not just writing some business management stuff, but serious story books. Bioscience fiction, vampire love, Japanese campus reasoning, and now children's campus magic. Her audience is beyond the barriers of all industries and directly points to the hearts of every individual!
People in the technology circle will buy her books, whether it is employees, partners or competitors; people in the financial circle will buy her books, whether their company and personal accounts are related to it; people in the education circle will also buy her books, whether the girl is teaching in her school or not…
Accountants, lawyers, doctors, civil servants, salesmen, and anyone from all walks of life has the opportunity to buy her novels. "Jurassic Park" can attract all men who are interested in science fiction and women who are looking for excitement; "Blood Fairy Tales" can attract all women who are interested in love and some men who are interested in the dark plots; "After School" has limited publications in the United States, but it will be a matter of time before reasoning enthusiasts focus on this work that won the Edogawa Ranbu Award.
The industry is limited, but the impact is unlimited. No matter which industry a person is engaged in, as Alice's novels on various subjects continue to be published, more and more people can at least become familiar with her name.
Then now, the first part of "Harry Potter" which is "accounted for" to be published in a long magical manner is actually "pre-prepared".
"So fast?"
Jamie's mother was so surprised when she heard the news: "Didn't we just visited the new book promotion meeting last month? Is it going to be officially published so soon?"
"Actually, this speed is normal," Jamie's father flipped through the newspaper and said: "The publicity campaign cannot last too long. This thing does not require time, but efficiency. One month of effort is enough, right? "
This is the living room, and it is breakfast time. Twelve-year-old Jamie held a knife and fork and said happily: "Dad, when will we buy the book? Amy and I both discussed reading it together. You can't let me be left behind!"
Oh, our dear Jamie actually mentioned Little Amy.
The couple looked at each other and smiled. In just one month, their son became good friends with the girl he met in the bookstore. Although it was just a trial booklet and only a chapter throughout the whole article, it became the main topic of the two children on weekdays.
Look, the boy who is annoying to help his parents answer a call has been standing in the corridor without moving recently. And every time the couple passes by, he always covers his mouth mysteriously and mutters, for fear that someone will hear it.
Whether it is from the perspective of studying, making friends, or in which sense, isn’t this a good thing?
"Okay!" So Jamie's father agreed immediately: "The newspaper stated that it was at 8:30 in the morning, right? Jamie, go buy it with Dad. Maybe you can meet little Amy there again?"
When the father wanted to tease his son, he was afraid his wishful thinking would be vain. Although Jamie had a "little girlfriend", he was only twelve years old after all, so how could he think of this relationship too ambiguously?
Then the next day, early in the morning, Jamie's family, who lives in Temple in Los Angeles satellite city, went to the city center happily.
"It's a pity that Alice-Wang did not hold a new book signing conference." Jamie's mother felt very regretful: "Otherwise I could meet her too. The book "Blood Fairy Tale" is really well written, Bourbon, you know how many times I have read it."
"But she is not a professional writer after all," Jamie's father drove the car. Although it was a weekend, the road was still full of cars in the early morning: "The child is still in school, and there are still companies that need to be managed, so we must understand."
"Dad, dad." Jamie said in the back seat: "Do you know where Sister Alice teaches?"
"Haha, how do I know this?" Jamie's father drove onto the viaduct: "But Jane, do you think that child might get into college?"
"Alice-Wang took the college entrance exam?" This question came a little suddenly. Jamie's mother was embarrassed, and even her son's voice calling McDonald's was ignored: "It should be? Can she not go there? Bourbon, you asked this question a bit strange."
"That may not be." When the father spoke, he was energetic: "You have to see what her purpose is to go to college. If it is just to experience college life, it is possible, but if you want to learn skills and find a job, do you think she may have wasted these four years?"
It was true that Jamie's mother understood after a little thought. Although she is now taking care of her son at home, her husband is also a salesperson in a large company. As a husband, he has a wide range of knowledge, so his wife can certainly be subtle.
"Just like Bill Gates? They did belong to the same type of people in that regard, but Alice-Wang had to be many years ahead of time."
More than just for many years, Jamie's mother smiled bitterly: "But I think it's okay to take a little college entrance exam, right? I heard that Gates dropped out of school because it was really boring to learn law, so he founded the Microsoft company. But now Alice Wang Ke is still in middle school, so why should he choose a major he likes, right?"
"Haha, then she might just be a computer professor!" Jamie's father laughed: "Let her peers be their teacher, or the title of professor! If this happens, it will be a year-round news! No, no, I have to change careers and become a reporter as soon as possible. This is obviously a big news!"
"Don't think about those things, drive seriously!" Seeing that her husband actually slipped the car, Jamie's mother quickly scolded: "Also be a reporter! Do you think that just having a good mouth and a strong spirit in your career is enough? Can you write a press release? Alice can play part-time jobs, so you should just sell your range hood honestly."
Well, that's right, Jamie's father is a salesperson who works in a home appliance company~
"Okay, listen to you."
Still smiling brightly, Jamie's father steadily drove the steering wheel and accelerated towards his destination.
