Chapter fifty-four, finally come to Microsoft

The hospitalization ended after three days of awakening, and this was still a time spent in addition to the necessary observation. After all, today's technology cannot detect the so-called symptoms of mental depressive power, and during the time given by the doctor, Alice was just enough to restore her spirit. Therefore, although the hospital was inexplicable, the kidnapped girl who had been unconscious for a day and a night was finally discharged.

When Alice walked out of the hospital with her family, she was naturally inevitably treated with flashes. In the past three days, the girl who was kidnapped and unconscious in the "Albuquerque drug dealer incident" was finally discharged from the hospital. This is quite news for reporters from all sides.

In particular, the girl was tied up with Microsoft CEO Bill Gates. In the days after she woke up, Gates visited her in the hospital again and again, and even Paul Allen, another major shareholder of the company, was dispatched. In this way, the gossip hot topics in the news naturally surged.

"Oh my God, don't these guys know what reserve means? I'm a lady, lady! I'm actually surrounded by a large group of people! Mr. Drake, I'm really grateful, and I'm thankful for the same kind of thanks to Mr. Gates."

The Lincoln sedan sent by Microsoft was waiting outside the hospital, so when Alice and his family just walked out of the hospital gate, they were able to escape by relying on the driver of the car, and even had bodyguards in the co-pilot as cover. Otherwise, it would be not easy to get rid of the previous group of reporters.

"This is what it should be. After all, in terms of nature, this is an accident that happened when you held a business meeting with our company. It's nothing to drive a car to pick it up."

Hannah and Oscar were in the car, and they started to arrive in Albuquerque three days ago and spent basically all their time on hospitals and nearby restaurants, so it was the first time to visit the city. While Lincoln's car was rushing to Microsoft, they kept pulling out the window.

Although it is the largest city in New Mexico, Albuquerque has a population of 400,000 or 500,000. In just over ten minutes, the group quickly arrived at the Microsoft headquarters building.

Compared with the glorious moments of the 1990s, although Microsoft was already a top company in the industry with an annual profit of up to tens of millions of dollars, it was still an unlisted company after all, and its scale was naturally limited. When Alice got out of the car and saw the inconspicuous and simple building in front of her, she really didn't know what she should do.

"Welcome, Alice! And Mr. Wang and Mrs.!"

At this time, Bill Gates was standing at the gate to greet everyone. Next to him was another baby-faced man wearing round glasses, and another founder of Microsoft, Paul Allen.

"Hey, Bill, and Mr. Allen, thank you for your fruit basket."

Alice stepped forward and shook hands with the two of them one after another, with a sweet smile: "Especially Mr. Allen's fruit basket, I ate all the ten bananas."

"Just like to eat, Alice, and I have said it many times, just call Paul."

Allen also shook hands with Alice with a smile and kept greeting James and others. The constant visits during the hospitalization made them all familiar with Alice's family.

After a brief chat at the door, the group walked into the building.

The company is not large in size, after all, the total number of employees is not even a hundred people. When Alice entered the office, she immediately received a warm welcome from everyone on the scene, and there were whistles constantly ringing, and there were also noises and shouts rising and falling in the slightly distant corner.

In just three days, at least within the Albuquerque range, Alice has become a small celebrity. For more than 50 engineers at Microsoft, this reputation is extremely rare and unforgettable.

For some time, almost no one has praised it for the "Windows 1.0 trial version" given to them by Alice. The exquisite user graphical interface, various powerful office software, and the intuitive experience of using a mouse, no one will believe how huge its market will be.

Although everyone agreed that if enough time is given, everyone can work together to make the same level of work, when this result appears on a twelve-year-old girl who is alone, and the time is so short, she almost becomes a legendary figure in this technology-first company!

"Alice, can you take a photo with us? I want to mail one to my mom!"

"Alice, are those drug dealers particularly scary? Does the back of your head still hurt? Those bastards are so hateful that they dare to hit your head with a butt!"

"Alice, when did you start learning programming? Have you tested your IQ? How are your grades in school? Have you considered what college you will go to in the future?"

There is no doubt that Microsoft has ushered in an extremely lively day, especially when there are only more than fifty core employees. This lively atmosphere naturally destroys all the working atmosphere. So much so that when Alice, Sophie, Gates, and Allen walked into the conference room, I couldn't help but sigh that everyone should not have the heart to work today.

"So, I believe you have gained a deep understanding of my products over the past few days."

In the conference room, Alice was accompanied by her mother, surrounded by all the current senior executives of Microsoft, totaling five. In addition to Gates and Allen's famous names, Alice recognized her at first glance, naturally, her future successor CEO and current executive vice president of sales support Ballmer.

"As long as this operating system is launched, the annual profit of the single item will definitely reach tens of millions of dollars. I think everyone should agree?"

On the Microsoft side, Ballmer nodded first and said yes.

As the most fundamental thing, they have conducted the most comprehensive investigation of the product Alice handed over in the past few days.

"Although I don't know how you observed it, Alice, you said right in your message. The company is indeed in an urgent period now, and many companies in the industry are working hard to study new systems for graphical user interfaces. In this field, Apple is our biggest competitor."

Gates said: "So, all our company staff are warmly welcomed by you to invest in Microsoft with this product. But before that, I still hope you can satisfy everyone's curiosity."

Gates spread his hands to the people around him with a smile. At this moment, he could not see the embarrassing appearance he was when he was kidnapped by a drug dealer four days ago. Alice kept laughing in her heart: "We really want to know, how did you study this system?"

"Yes, Miss Alice, you're only twelve years old after all."

Allen continued: "You know, although Bill and I were very young when we first programmed, we were at least a high school student, and we only made some basic small programs. We built an operating system like you... To be honest, Alice, I haven't been able to sleep well these days!"

Alan's dark circles were indeed very obvious. Alice laughed in understanding and said, "That's really hard for you. The reason is like this... Oh, of course I can only say that it's because I'm too genius, otherwise how can I explain it? Another group of people are working silently, and then I stole their achievements?"

Everyone smiled softly, and Allen could only nod his head with a bitter smile. Of course, this question was just a casual question, and no one expected Alice to give other answers, but everyone really had to ask, because everyone really couldn't help but want to ask.

After all, this is still a bit amazing.

In the past few days, more than 50 engineers in the company have not had a good sleep and are studying this operating system as if they were experiencing treasures...

As for Alice's statement itself, it is actually correct or not.

After all, Windows was first created by Microsoft. She had ready-made examples to imitate when writing, and it was okay to say plagiarism. However, in this life, she did use her outstanding mind to complete it alone when writing, instead of relying on the help of a fat blue man, she directly transformed the pirated installation CD of another world and copied it...

"Although I developed the copyright of this operating system alone, it doesn't matter. Just publish it directly in the name of the company."

Alice continued: "After all, after an operating system is released, there are very complicated and troublesome follow-up maintenance work, which can only be completed by a full-time work of a team, and there are also many 'original' parts. So, you can give me the position of chief software designer at most~"

Everyone laughed again, and Gates raised his arms with interest: "Give you the position of chief software designer? Hello, Alice, aren't you snatching my job? This position is mine now."

"But don't you still have the titles of chairman and CEO?"

Seeing Gates talking with his arms relaxed, Alice simply became cute, her head was full of tears, her big blue eyes blinked: "It's better not to be too busy with a programmer's job, otherwise she won't be able to find a wife!"
