The Goddess Shines on America

The Pentagon's $10 million follow-up research and development funds for the firewall arrived quickly, and it was only five days before and after Alice left Washington. It can be seen that their demand for this so-called network security protocol system is indeed very urgent.

Efficiency should be high. After all, in terms of nature, the research and development of this product is not just a matter of the Ministry of National Defense, because things like network security involve more than just national defense.

At the very least, you must know that the biggest difference between the National Security Agency and the Central Intelligence Agency is that the former mainly relies on monitoring various communication equipment to work. When the Internet age comes, their demand for equipment such as firewalls is stronger than anyone else.

But so far, Alice is still very relieved to realize that the NSA has not planned to play any secret cooperation with her. Even if it is the research and development of the firewall, it will definitely be divided into military and civilian use in the end, instead of signing a non-disclosure agreement to play conspiracy theories.

As for the reason, it is very simple. After all, Cisco is not even a listed company. After all, the development speed in the 1980s is different from that in the 21st century. After the emergence of new things, it still has to rely on a slow process to develop. It’s funny to say that the reason why many new industries and products of new companies at that time were able to develop and promote so fast was precisely because of the free ride of the Internet.

However, although the 10 million US dollars fell into Cisco's corporate account on the books, it was transferred to another corporate account in a matter of time.

"The start-up capital of Blackwater International has already been obtained."

On the afternoon of early July, in the outdoor leisure area of ​​a coffee shop located on Sunset Boulevard, Alice said to Akaman who was sitting opposite: "But in terms of the start-up team, of course there is no problem..."

At this time, Alice was placed in front of a list of fifteen elites selected by Akaman from the retired members of the Delta Force and veterans of the Vietnam War after searching through his contacts. In addition to the basic name and profile picture, Akaman also recorded in great detail each person's areas of expertise.

"But isn't the number too small? Is fifteen enough?"

Akaman briefly looked at the bank receipt, which recorded Alice's paid-in capital invested in Blackwater International in the name of "corporate investment" and Cisco's registered name. So in theory, Alice is not a shareholder of Blackwater International, its shareholder is the entire Cisco Systems, but Alice's shareholding ratio in Cisco is particularly large.

"As an instructor, fifteen is enough."

Akaman gave an affirmative answer: "When training in the new barracks, the company is basically the unit. A company has an average of one hundred people, but only one or two instructors can manage it. Fifteen instructors, less It is said that it is a training scale of four to five hundred people, Alice, hundreds of people are training at the same time, think about what this concept is."

Alice leaned on her chin, and said, "One or two infantry battalions. However, as a newly established company, it's okay to shoot the security guards of two infantry battalions in one go. Then uncle, in the training center In terms of construction, should we hire a special architect, or what?"

"There's no need for a designer, boy."

Akaman laughed and said: "It's just a training ground. If you really want to talk about designers, how can it be more professional for us to design it ourselves?"

"However, we are a company after all. We still need to pay attention to the architectural shape of the company's headquarters and the decoration of the front desk."

Alice said: "After all, our initial business must be to provide security for the rich. If the company building is built in tatters and the front desk is even more shabby, how can we make customers trust our strength?"

Akaman thought about it, and found it reasonable: "Then what do you want to do? I'm just a CEO with 5% of the shares. I have to leave this kind of important matter to you, girl."

Both of them were talking in a low voice. After all, although the content of their conversation was not a secret, Alice's figure and appearance were here after all. At the next table there was a couple in the open-air leisure area of ​​the coffee shop where they were dating. If anyone talked about this kind of content at the top of their voices, they would be watched by the people at the surrounding tables as animals.

"Since it is a security company, and it can easily take the mercenary route, it really needs to be rough enough."

Alice pondered: "The shape of the headquarters building should be a pure black cube building, and the registered place should be in North Carolina. Anyway, the land price there is also cheap."

It was Alice who came up with the idea, and Akaman was the one who implemented it. He wrote down the request in a notepad: "Pure black cube, what about the material?"

"It needs to be made of stone, so that it can reflect the texture, and we also need to build a helipad on the top of the building. Also, I will meet with the people from General Dynamics before school starts, and I will buy a batch of military equipment from them Bar!"

"It's more appropriate for me to do this business."

Akaman smiled slightly and vetoed Alice's idea: "A little girl goes to a military enterprise to buy weapons, just like a little boy goes to buy Victoria's Secret. It's too funny. Let me and those old guys come forward, after all After getting it, we will use it, what do you think?"

Alice agreed after a little thought: "That's right, after all, you guys know better about what will be used in the training process. Moreover, since the employees give priority to recruiting retired soldiers, it must be training for real guys. Levi Uncle, do you have any idea about the shopping list?"

"Soviet AKs and our carbines, as well as various types of rockets, machine guns, and pistols, are the most basic. The employees of security companies are nothing more than two kinds of daily life. One is to go out on missions, including working for the rich or As a company bodyguard, and as a mercenary galloping on the battlefield, another one is continuous training in the company."

Akaman looked at Alice with relief, as if he wished she was his daughter: "Alice, since you can connect with people from the White House through Cisco, when our company develops, Big orders of mercenary nature will come one after another, I have to establish a training system from the beginning, otherwise I will hold you back."

Alice has long been used to Akaman's eyes. Be it Sissy's father, or Ashley's entire Italian family, which family's relatives look at her and wish that she is also their daughter? Such a girl who has accomplished so much at such a young age is enough to make parents all over the world dream about her.

"Oh~ let's do it this way, I'll give you the ten million and spend it hard! Uncle Levi, don't save it for me~"

"Okay, I'll contact the relevant channels now."

Akaman looked at the time, stuffed the notepad back into his leather bag, picked up the coffee cup and said: "First of all, the construction of the company headquarters and training center, within a few months, my brothers and I will stay in North Carolina Lerona is not leaving. Alice, give me a call when you are going to England, I still need to send my daughter to the airport."

"No problem, it's on me."

The two stood up at the same time, and Alice handed a hundred-dollar bill to the waiter: "Katie, the extra will be your consumption, tell Tom, the cappuccino can be thicker."

"No problem, Miss Alice."

The girl with golden braids smiled at her, and walked quickly into the store.

Akaman looked around, and only now did he notice that a sweeper at the front door of the coffee shop was smiling at Alice: "What's the matter? Are you familiar with this shop?"

"Bought it long ago, my dear Uncle Levi."

Alice didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Didn't you see that 'Lorena' is just opposite our DreamWorks, and it's a good store, with a transaction price of 300,000 yuan!"

"Really."

Akaman waved his hands cheerfully, then drove into his baby car, and left.

Then, Alice naturally cast her eyes on the building in front of her, DreamWorks, which was ready to move at any time after choosing a new location.

As early as the morning, Cameron hung up a phone call, asking Alice to come to the company in the afternoon to discuss the preparation details of "Alien 2", otherwise she would not have chosen this place for her meeting with Akaman. Now, after the former matters are basically done, it's time for the next job.

"Oh, why am I so busy."

When the girl in a cool short skirt walked into the reception hall, McMillan, a staff member sitting behind the reception desk, looked up: "Hey, isn't this Alice?"

Alice waved at him: "Hey Mike, did Cameron ask you to leave me a letter again? Where is that kid now?"

"It's in the conference room on the fourth floor, Alice."

McMillan replied, and then seemed to suddenly think of something, and suddenly oops.

Alice was about to go to the elevator, but she turned around and said, "What's wrong? Chewing gum and biting your cheek?"

"Huh? Oh, no, no."

McMillan was a little excited. Seeing that Alice had also stopped, he asked tentatively, "I just want to ask, Alice, when will you be able to write another novel?"

"novel?"

Alice was stunned for a moment before she realized: "You have also read my book, which one? Is it Jurassic or Vampire?"

"I like all of them!"

McMillan replied simply: "Also, Alice, your themes span a wide range. One is science fiction thriller, and the other is fantasy thriller plus romance. How about the next book?"

Well, next book.

Speaking of which, I didn't copy anything for a while.

Alice thought for a while: "It's okay to tell you, but keep it secret~"
