The Goddess Shines on America

"I-fyou're-going-to-San-Francisco, be-sure-to-wear-some-flowers-in-your-hair～"

Inside the coquettish red Cadillac off-road vehicle, a male solo praising San Francisco rang melodiously, while inside the car, three children of the Wang family, all aged 11, were singing loudly. Sitting in the front row, Sophie kept laughing from the beginning of the song, and James, who was driving, hummed softly along with the tone, looking very proud.

"if-you're-going-to-San-Francisco, you're-gonna-meet-some-gentle-people-there~"

Today was Saturday, and it was the day when I made an appointment with the Bosacks to go to San Francisco. The car started in the early morning and was driving along the coast, on California Highway 1.

Looking around, the vast expanse of sea stretches along the cliffs to the end of the sky, seagulls flying along with the traffic flow in the sky, and yachts and sailboats appear from time to time, creating white waves on the blue sea. Under such beautiful scenery, the long-distance business trip has also become a weekend self-driving trip for the whole family.

"I've always dreamed of living in Beverly's mansion!"

Sophie looked out the window, and the pier of the wealthy town was right below, with hundreds of seagulls circling on dozens of yachts: "Vivi, if we really set up a company with the Bossacks, you said the annual profit would be about How many can there be?"

"for-those-wh-ocome-to-San-Francisco, summertime-will-be-a-love-in-there...mom!?"

Originally, she was intoxicated in singing loudly, but when Sophie shook her suddenly, Alice came back to her senses: "Ah... you said annual profit. Hehe, you can't expect too much at the beginning, you can A few hundred thousand is not bad. But if you get venture capital money, you have a bright future.”

Sophie looked to the right of the road, where the car was turning inland. Of course you can't see it from here, but just a dozen miles to the east, the gathering place of emerging industries in the United States, Silicon Valley is there. From the San Francisco Bay in the north to the San Jose area in the south, this large area is full of companies in the computer industry, and there are countless companies.

"From the perspective of convenience, it is most appropriate for the company to be established in Silicon Valley, but if we move for this... Weiwei, Oscar, Hannah, do you plan to transfer schools? Hello? Stop singing!"

"No, no, I don't want to miss Los Angeles. Although there are many Chinese in San Francisco, I don't want to go!"

Hannah's answer was decisive. Alice gulped down a sip of mineral water, moved her arm, and almost threw it out of the window out of the window habitually: "It's not necessary, Dad is an ordinary teacher, and you are just a lawyer. In terms of business management, you can't do anything." Just leave it to Bosac, we don't need to worry about that in a short time."

"Like you said, put the early customers on the universities?"

After a morning of driving, when Alice's voice fell, the car was already speeding up on Highway 17, heading straight for the San Jose border. Just follow it past Mountain View, and Stanford University is just a stone's throw away.

"Yeah, think about it."

As soon as the relevant fields were mentioned, Alice suddenly puffed up her chest excitedly, and her plump C-Cup was stretched until the seat belt was tightened: "Just talk about Stanford, how many large, medium and small computers are there in the whole school? How many teachers and professors need it?" Using a local area network? Just based on the current demand of this school, is it enough for us to earn hundreds of thousands of dollars?"

"You know, before the entry of venture capital, with our family and the Bosacks alone, the registered capital of the new company cannot exceed 100,000 U.S. dollars, right? Just three or two people, with just this little registered capital, the first order To be able to reach such a number is quite remarkable!"

Sophie looked at Alice approvingly: "That's right, three or four people, with a registered capital of 100,000 yuan, can recover all the cost with the first order. , there is no need to doubt the company's initial development speed, if we don't move to Silicon Valley, aren't you afraid of being ostracized by them?"

Having said this, Alice immediately frowned: "You mean, Bosac and the others are professionals after all, afraid that my technical investment will be washed away?"

The current topic is obviously a bit too advanced, so Oscar and Hannah kept silent, James concentrated on driving, and only listened to Sophie's clear analysis.

"Although I don't understand technology, I understand the law. Although technology can account for up to 70% of the shares, don't forget Weiwei, the Bosacks also have this ability. They are senior engineers. It is impossible for them not to study The structure and principle of the router, not to mention what you said, they are already researching this field, and they have come up with semi-finished products."

"So Weiwei, even if Dad took you to register the patent yesterday, there is no guarantee that there will be absolutely no problem. You are still young and cannot hold a specific position in the company, so the position of chief technical officer must belong to one of them. , even if mom and dad want to work part-time to help you. Then, the position of CEO must be theirs, so..."

"So, the focus of my game is in the sales field."

Alice smiled sweetly: "Technically, I have learned from them to study new products, and if I can bring more customers and more orders than them, then there is no reason for them to reduce My equity, right?"

The carriage was full of Sophie's admiration, and Hannah sat obediently on the back seat, poking Oscar's waist.

"Oscar, what are they talking about, do you understand?"

"Uh...cough, I understand, of course I understand, how could I not understand?"

"Oh really? Then Oscar, I will continue to chat with my mother, please tell Hannah what I just said.

"Hey! Alice!?"

"Thank you bro, tell me quickly~"

By the time the group finally arrived at Stanford, they had already had lunch in Mountain View.

As a world-class prestigious university, Stanford is located in Palo Alto, the southern part of the San Francisco Bay Area, California, near the world-renowned high-tech park Silicon Valley. It covers an area of ​​about 33 square kilometers and is the sixth largest university in the United States. It is the same as the University of California in San Francisco. Together, Berkeley forms the academic center of the American West.

The buildings here are all yellow bricks and red tiles, flat and stable, all in the style of Spanish mission halls in the seventeenth century. There are no buildings of different ages and styles in Harvard and Yale, and there are even fewer ivy covering the walls of Northeastern universities. Entering the campus, the first thing you see is a red-roofed building surrounded by khaki stone walls, connected by arcades, and lined with palm flags. It is full of strong cultural and academic atmosphere in the combination of classical and modern.

Among them, the central square is the main part of Stanford, surrounded by business schools, geology colleges, education colleges, engineering colleges, law schools, medical schools, etc. Outside, there are Stanford Science Park, botanical gardens, golf courses and several scientific testing grounds.

Since today is Saturday, the total number of students in the campus is not too many, but you can still see some young men and women strolling on the stone road from time to time. Alice and her family walked among them, and within a few minutes, they were deeply affected by the strong academic atmosphere here.

"Maybe it's good for the three of you to aim for Stanford instead of Harvard."

James took Hannah's hand and pointed to the teaching building belonging to the Department of Computer Science in the distance: "The cradle of talents in the entire Silicon Valley, since Weiwei has already started to set foot in this field, it's good for you to join in too. Hannah, Oscar, you What do you think?"

"No, Daddy, I'm not interested in computers, I like biology!"

"I hate what Alice likes!"

"I like what Oscar hates~"

"Alice!?"

"Hi~ call me something~?"

The teacher's apartment is also a Spanish missionary building built with yellow bricks and red tiles. Alice's family met the Bosac couple who had been waiting for a long time here.

"Nice to see you again, hello Mr and Mrs Wang, Alice, we meet again!"

Wearing a pure blackboard suit, her hair was carefully arranged. When Leonardo Bosac appeared at the door of the room in this style, Alice laughed out loud.

"My God, is this still the image that IT workers should have? Posak, are you sure you're not going to a high-end reception?"

She walked into the room, and then Santi, who came to meet her, was also dressed neatly, and her gestures were even more energetic: "I made him dress up like this, this is an important day, shouldn't we treat it seriously?" ?”

As she spoke, she took the initiative to invite James and Sophie to the living room, and greeted Oscar and Hannah very cordially. Alice keenly noticed that during the whole process, Bosack basically stood aside, and until she sat down, she just managed to chat with James casually.

"California Highway 1, you came here by car, the scenery along the way must be good, right?"

He poured Alice a glass of water diligently, and Sandy's obvious enthusiasm almost melted her: "What do you think of the environment at Stanford? Do you like it here? By the way, the headquarters of Intel, Dell and Apple are in San Jose." area, are you interested in taking a look around there?"

"Santi... nice soda."

When Alice opened her mouth, a layer of ripples quietly appeared on the water surface of the water glass that had been placed stably.

Sandy's enthusiastic smile froze for a moment, then she retracted it very naturally, and Bosac sat obediently beside her.

"We've already brought the router. The research lab of the Stanford Department of Computer Science must be the best place to experiment with it? Sandy, can we go there right now?"

From the moment she entered the room, Alice had noticed it with extreme keenness.

Since he was holding the router in his hand, Santi never took his eyes off it from the moment we met just now.

"It seems that Sophie's worry is not unreasonable."
