The Goddess Shines on America

When Alice finally returned to Los Angeles...all was quiet.

Although she was kidnapped during the shootout of drug dealers in Albuquerque, she only reported briefly on state television and newspapers. Although she received many gifts from sympathizers in the hospital, it was at best this level up.

After all, it is not the Internet age, otherwise it would have caused a sensation in the United States.

In the next period of time, Alice returned to her ordinary life again, without the thrills of being kidnapped by drug dealers, and without the business turmoil of buying shares today and having meetings tomorrow. After all, this is the main theme of life. Especially now that she has graduated from elementary school, and it is the longest summer vacation in her life, how can she not enjoy life?

Of course, because of the extra free time, the frequency of calls between Alice and the Bosacks is also very high, so as to keep abreast of the company's development progress.

All in all, after Cisco registered in the living room for a full month, Sandy finally gave up her plan to develop a better router. At this time, she had already spent 4,000 US dollars of funds, which made the already tight funds even more pitiful.

In the hot summer, the chirping of cicadas can be heard everywhere. One morning, Alice was standing in the corridor of her house wearing a short-sleeved shirt and cropped trousers.

"So Alice, we plan to start seeking financing from venture capital companies. The initial goal is set at around 500,000 US dollars. With this money, the company's development speed can definitely be raised to a higher level. What do you think?"

Bosack, who is feeling very anxious right now, has come to realize that starting a business is so different from normal life. Although the couple has small savings, they can raise tens of thousands of dollars with loans, more than enough to buy a car and a house, but when they use this money to develop start-ups, it is really not enough!

Although this has something to do with Sandy's insistence on going his own way, the four thousand dollars has indeed been wasted in vain. Although this amount of money is only about the level of their monthly salary, as authentic Americans, the couple are now burdened with car loans and mortgages at the same time, coupled with the pressure of various insurance and taxes, it can really be used for the development of enterprises. Not much really!

Alice chewed chewing gum: "500,000 dollars is not a small number. Our company currently has only three people, the working capital is only 6,000 yuan, and the registration amount is only 5 yuan. No matter how much you put the prospect The description is majestic and magnificent, and the managers of those venture capital companies can’t throw so much money, can they?”

"You mean... the amount of financing is too high? Five hundred thousand shouldn't be too high, right? Although we have a relatively small number of people, your technology will indeed lead the development of the times. Internet hardware technology, those Silicon Valley venture capitalists Can't you not recognize its development potential?"

Hearing Bosac say that, even though it was not logically appropriate, Alice couldn't help but laugh.

The Bossacks apparently don't know much about the inner workings of the venture capital world.

While they're telling the truth, what entrepreneur doesn't blow up his or her career when they approach a VC manager? Especially here is Silicon Valley, the cradle of Chaoyang's computer industry, a typical area capable of cultivating upstarts.

There are too many small businesses in Silicon Valley. After all, the basic equipment needed by an Internet company is really just an office, a garage, three or two people, and three or two computers to register. The cost is really low. Don't you see, many big companies in later generations were born out of garages?

Therefore, just like the Hollywood film companies, there are establishments and closures every day, and countless talents go on and on. For a company like the current Cisco, there are eight hundred if not one thousand in the entire Silicon Valley. With a registered capital of five yuan, a few thousand yuan of working capital, and just two people, do you want to easily get hundreds of thousands of dollars in venture capital?

Even if they are "imposing" Stanford University professors, this is really a bit of a dream...

After all, the threshold of the computer industry is very low if you say it is very low, and it is very high if you say it is high. The title of the so-called professor of computer science... Neither Gates nor Jobs came from the computer department. Gates still studied law at Harvard, but look at others Now?

It was not until this moment that Alice felt more intuitively why Bosac in history searched for more than two years and found more than 70 venture capital investors before finally receiving 250 from Don Valentine. Ten thousand. And the reason why Valentine was willing to give them 250 was because he had lost a lot with Jobs...

Rubbing her forehead, Alice smirked, but only her voice could pass through: "Then you all have to work hard, and strive for a million-level investment directly, that would be fun. But, Leonardo, But don’t forget the agreement we wrote in the contract, if you can’t find financing in the top 30 venture capital companies, I will increase the proportion of equity.”

Posak laughed loudly, what is the concept of thirty, even if you hail a taxi during the rush hour in Manhattan, you can't be so unlucky, right?

"No problem, no problem! Just like we agreed at the beginning, if Sandy and I really can't find financing among the thirty venture capitals, then you can just add money to the paid-in capital account, and I will definitely give it to you Rewrite the share allocation!"

"Haha~ Then just go ahead and work hard~"

After continuing to chat a few words, Alice hung up the phone with great satisfaction.

"Hello, sister."

At this moment, Hannah, who had been listening for a long time, blinked her big eyes and said slyly, "Why do you have to smile so badly? No matter how you look at it, you have bad intentions."

"Hey hey~ Hannah, do you want to see my sister become the chairman of a super big company?"

Alice hummed and patted Hannah's head happily, and after the latter yelled and pushed her hand away, she reached out to touch her bright red head again: "When I make a lot of money, what do you want?" I can buy you anything. Tell me, honey, what do you want for your birthday next year? Book it in advance now?"

Hannah's bright eyes rolled around, and she was a ten-year-old "big" girl anyway. She frowned and thought for a while, and then, as if she had made a difficult decision, she said forcefully Said: "I want the full amount of Transformers toys!"

After finishing speaking, her fair and tender face flushed instantly, and her big eyes stared at Alice viciously, apparently with the appearance of "don't make fun of me, I like boy things"!

"Well……"

Alice was indeed surprised by her younger sister's hobbies. After all, her bedroom has always been full of Barbie dolls, not just kindergarten stock. In fact, Sophie bought another one for Hannah last month. ...

However, the question Alice immediately thought of was...

"Transformers already exist? Ah no, it's released? Ah no, Hannah, when did you watch this animation, why don't I know?"

Alice was really confused. Of course, she knew that Transformers was originally a toy of Hasbro, and then it was adapted into animation by Japan. But when it happened, she really didn't know!

Seeing that her sister didn't mean to make fun of her, Hannah breathed a sigh of relief, but immediately turned into a disdainful expression, curling her lips and said, "Is it just released this year? Almost all the boys in the class are watching it. Speaking of Weiwei, you are only two grades higher than me, so the generation gap is not so big, right?"

As she said that, she still didn’t forget to give Alice an even more contemptuous expression: “I thought I was going to be in the seventh grade, so I’m great? Isn’t it just across the street from St. Antoine? Cut~!”

"Oh, oh, oh, Hannah, Hannah, I was wrong, come, come, go to the living room, go to the living room, my sister will peel an apple for you~"

"Hey? Do you want to eat apples? Yes, yes, but you have to cut it into six pieces, six pieces, no other count..."

Just as Alice and her sister walked into the living room, James sat on the sofa and just put down the newspaper in his hand.

"Oh, Weiwei, you came just in time, I have something to tell you."

Beckoning Alice, James looked at her with relief and said, "The Los Angeles City University Association is about to hold, UCLA, Caltech, University of Southern California and several other universities are going to hold celebrations. Your father and I will definitely participate. .So, are you interested in going to see it too? You can meet many experts and professors there, which will be very helpful for expanding your network.”

If the latter sentence is heard by ordinary people, they must find it extremely weird. For a kid who is about to be in the seventh grade, how can he expand his network with university professors?

However, James said so to Alice as a matter of course.

"Southern California, UCLA, Caltech, tsk tsk, Dad, why did I suddenly realize that you are so nice~"

At the same time, as soon as Alice finished listening, she danced with her feet, rushed to her father quickly, and gave him a big kiss on the face!

"Hey, there are so many spitting stars!"

"Haha~ I can't help it, I can't help it, who told me to have such a good dad~ University Federation, haha, dad Mo is the one who knows me!"

The last sentence was still in Chinese, Hannah stood aside, blinking inexplicably: "Wei Wei, what are you so happy about? Is there anything fun to do there?"

"Fun? Ah~ Of course!"

Alice sat down on the sofa, picked up an apple, and quickly peeled it.

"It's all college, Hannah, it's all the Internet, it's all money!"

Still standing aside with an inexplicable face, Hannah didn't quite understand what her sister meant, but there was no doubt that her big blue eyes were rattling dollar signs like a slot machine.

"Oh... well then, give me the apple."

From tomorrow onwards, I will change the update time to night. I found that there seem to be many people watching at night.
