The Goddess Shines on America

The situation is normal and the development trend is good.

Alice's current life can be perfectly described in these two sentences.

At Cisco, Alice completely let the Bosacks handle it. Anyway, as long as the development is normal, and in various senses, the development is normal, and when the company grows in size, the couple will definitely follow along. The general trend of history was kicked out.

As for the business, the monthly turnover of one million US dollars still depends on the orders won by Alice. After all, word of mouth is the best publicity channel. After Caltech and other three or four universities intend to purchase, orders from MIT, Stanford, Harvard, Yale, Princeton, and even some large companies and scientific research institutions are a matter of trend.

According to the latest information, Sandy has already found four venture capital firms, but all failed without exception. According to this speed, it will be more than half a year away from the twenty-six houses agreed with Alice. Once the amount is reached, according to the agreement, she can invest additional funds on the premise of technology shares, and take the main shares of Cisco in one fell swoop.

At Microsoft, after obtaining the full version of the Windows 1.0 program, system testing is in full swing. According to the information given by Gates, the launch date should be early next year. Compared with the end of next year in the normal historical development, although this period of time in advance is nothing, the 35% shares held by Alice are more precious than gold.

According to her memory, Microsoft took the wind of Windows 1.0 to go public. At present, or before the listing, the company's total assets are about 2 million U.S. dollars—yes, it's only 2 million U.S. dollars, but The growth rate after listing was astonishingly terrifying. Although the real outbreak will begin in 1994, compared to the benefits that will be obtained, this waiting is completely worth it.

Stock trading is the fastest and most convenient way to increase wealth. Seeing that the Internet financial bubble is about to be born, Alice of course plans to make a lot of money here.

In fact, compared with the glory period of the Internet in the entire 1990s, Microsoft's stock is not particularly good. Alice remembers clearly that when Microsoft went public in 1986, the closing price was only seven cents, and it took ten years to rise to nearly nine dollars. It was not until 1999 that it reached its most glorious moment, when the closing price once rose to as much as $48. , but since then it has lost its former glory and has remained at around 24 yuan.

But that's enough.

Today, I am equivalent to occupying 35% of Microsoft's shares at a price of seven cents. Although the proportion will be reduced after listing, the amount will continue to increase. If you use the subsequent version of Windows 1 as your bargaining chip to slowly increase the proportion, and then wait for the high-value sell-off in 1999, it will be nearly 700 times the increase in wealth!

The hundreds of thousands of dollars in 1984 turned into tens of billions in 1999. This is hardly called making money, it is called money grabbing, and it is called a money printing machine!

And that's just Microsoft.

And IBM.

IBM's average closing price this year is about $25, and will usher in a bottom of about $10 in 1993. But just after that, starting from 1994, IBM's stock price rose like a roller coaster, breaking through to around 120 yuan in 1998!

Then, even after the Internet financial bubble burst in 2000, its stock price slumped again, but in 2010, it still rose back to the original historical price, even as high as $130 at one point.

Therefore, purely from the perspective of stocks, Microsoft is actually the same thing. It is very wise for Buffett not to buy the former and buy the latter, although the former gave birth to the world's richest man.

For Alice, who remembers these stock price fluctuations and is very talented, buying shares in famous companies at the right time, buying and selling to earn a high price difference, wealth of tens of billions should not come easily, and a net worth of hundreds of billions is also within easy reach.

Therefore, under the premise that there is no shortage of money at all, Alice naturally concentrated her energy on new fields.

The club building of Johnson Middle School, formerly the classroom of the literary club, is now the headquarters of the SOS regiment.

"Tell everyone about the investigation report I recently obtained."

It was 2:40 in the afternoon, and in the corner, Maiya was reading a heavy book as if no one else was there, her eyes full of so-called foreign languages. Alice sat cross-legged on a steel chair, smiling and giving speeches to Sissy with a dark face and Ashley with an excited face.

"Or, let me ask you a question first, "The Man From the Bottom of the Atlantic", has any of you watched this TV series?"

Sissy looked puzzled, Maiya was still watching from the corner, Ashley raised her hand with a smile and said, "I've seen it, I've seen it! The TV series aired the year before last, produced by NBC. According to the story, in a mysterious On the evening of New Year's Day, a huge wave under the sea sent a strange man, Mike Harris, to the shore. When the medical profession regarded him as dead and powerless, oceanographer Dr. Elizabeth Mary put him back into the ocean, which made him Resurrected. Turns out, he's actually an amphibious being living at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean!"

"Bingo, Ashley got it right!"

Alice snapped her fingers and said, "But what you probably don't know is that this TV series was introduced to China in August this year, and it caused a sensation!"

Seeing the suddenly enlightened and puzzled expressions of the two girls, Alice actually didn't know what mood she was in at the moment.

If you put the small and big things together, the historical changes she has experienced so far are not many. Before this incident, the biggest change was that Microsoft did not move its headquarters to Seattle in 1978.

It's just that, for anyone who can foresee the future by rebirth, no one wants to see the situation get out of hand. Although it wasn't a big deal, it definitely didn't feel good to Alice.

The TV series "The Man from the Atlantic" was supposed to be broadcast around 1977, and then introduced to China around 1980, which led to a situation where thousands of people were empty-handed, and a round of trends emerged. Now, under the influence of some kind of butterfly effect, the time has been completely delayed...

Although it's not a big deal...

Isn't it a big deal? That's not necessarily the case. If the broadcast of this TV series will be postponed, what about the holding of the Olympic Games in the future? What is the date of establishment of such-and-such company? When did a certain terrorist attack occur? Occasionally one thing is nothing, but this trend is not a good sign...

"But what does that have to do with the clothing brand we're going to do now?"

Ashley pointed to the classroom wall, on which the brand slogan she made quickly was pasted on it, and a classic line was written in artistic fonts in a flying style.

"We don't make clothes, we're just fashion movers."

"So, this is the result of my market research."

No one has asked Alice how to investigate the market, because her words are just a beginning: "Do you remember the style of clothes worn by the protagonist of the TV series? His kind of pants, and he, as a seaman, must wear them on the shore. What style of sunglasses are you wearing?"

Sissy shrugged and said, "Toad mirror and flared trousers are just the most common clothes. You want Ashley to design these two products? But the market competitiveness is probably very severe, right?"

"So, sisters, our market is in China~"

Alice's blue eyes were shining brightly: "China's domestic clothing styles are definitely ten years behind the international ones, but fortunately they began to open to the outside world two years ago. Think about it, whether it is bell-bottom pants or toad mirrors, although they are not suitable for It is the most common thing for us, but what impact will it have on them?"

"Ah... I see!"

With this sentence, Sissy also quickly reacted, and said loudly: "You mean, rely on the publicity effect brought by that TV series to open up the market in China?"

"That's right!"

Alice snapped her fingers again: "According to China's current comprehensive national conditions, this TV series will definitely have to be broadcast repeatedly for one or two years, and it will definitely have an audience rating of 10,000 people. Think about it, if we have to pay for this publicity Money, how many dollars does it cost? Now it can be said to be completely free!"

"However, it's just sunglasses and pants, so it's easy to imitate, right?"

Seeing Alice's excited face, Sissy said calmly: "After all, this is not something with technical content, and Chinese businesses will also realize the business opportunities..."

"That's the problem with the market."

Alice said: "As long as we can seize the entire market as quickly as possible and let users recognize our brand, the next thing to do is to prevent the status from being overthrown and crack down on counterfeiting."

"Well, the issue of anti-counterfeiting..."

Having said that, Alice also nodded.

Because of this TV series, she is of course very clear about the turbulent trend of toad mirrors and bell-bottom pants in China and the wide spread of them. According to the opinion of an idiot businessman during the Opium War, even if one-third of the people in the country bought a nightcap, the entire British cotton mills would be exhausted.

That is simply infinite profit.

Although until 2015, not many people in China wore nightcaps...

But what Alice knows better is that if she really wants to open up the Chinese clothing market, the core problem is actually...

"It's a holiday..."

Anyway, we also wrote this book in 2016
