The Goddess Shines on America

Japan in June ushered in an event that had nothing to do with me, but it did have very important news.

Another rapidly rising large company founded by Alice Wang, Umbrella Pharmaceuticals officially went public.

Because its current flagship product, the weight-loss drug Soma, has a similar status in the industry to Cisco routers in the field of Internet hardware, many investors have long been looking forward to its first day of listing. And obviously, the number of potential shareholders in this round is definitely bigger than when Cisco went public.

The company was listed in the UK, which displeased many on Wall Street, but did nothing to stop the flow of greedy money. On the closing day, the Times and the Wall Street Journal successively published comments, saying that Alice finally owned a second "Cisco", a newly established and rapidly rising personal company.

At that time, after about five years of growth, Cisco in San Jose had spread its delicate and fine-grained industrial chain network to the entire United States, the entire Japan, and most of Europe. Canada, Mexico, Australia, New Zealand and other countries are developing markets, and a technology park in Nevada is also under construction. The pioneers have even begun to use Hong Kong as a platform to head towards the Pearl River Delta of China. The electronic octopus is spreading its tentacles. into more and more areas.

What makes people feel emotional is that Microsoft, which already basically has a market value of 100 billion U.S. dollars, has lagged behind in development. Its products have been Windows series operating systems from the beginning, and now they are basically the same. Although the market share of series products is constantly increasing, and the types of embedded software are also increasing, it is inevitable to feel inferior when compared horizontally.

After all, one company was registered in the living room in 1984, with only three people at that time, and the other was established in the 1970s, and it developed rapidly through Alice.

No matter how the folks compare it, the umbrella has been listed, and Alice's personal worth has soared again, and it has increased by 5 billion US dollars in half a month. Not only "Fortune" magazine, not even "Time" magazine, "Forbes" also personally interviewed Alice about her views on her position on the list.

"Actually, I haven't paid attention to these things for a long time. Really, I'm still in school, and Umbrella's technology park in Tokyo has just started operating, and some projects need to be involved. If you want to say what I think, thank you for asking, I will not invest in charity of."

"It took many years for the rise of the rich, so when they have a huge amount of money, they will choose to give back to the society. Internet companies are explosive, and when some upstarts are born, they also choose this way because they only have one company in their hands. I am different, the loan I am carrying is not lower than the annual profit of the consortium, I have only developed for six years, I am only nineteen years old, I still have a lot of room for expansion and areas for money.”

"Of course, you're right. I can spare money for charity, but I still have reasons not to. There are many ways to benefit society, and charity is just one of them. Several major companies under my umbrella have the ability to do so. The role of society. First of all, the Internet system opened by Cisco can make the world more prosperous and create employment opportunities; second, think about it, the weight-loss drug product of the umbrella alone can save millions of obese patients from suffering every year, right? ?”

"So, if I really want to do charity activities, at least I have to wait until I am thirty or forty years old. My business has been developing at a high speed since the beginning, and not one company but many companies. Counting the changes brought to the world in the past five or six years is by no means comparable to throwing tens of millions of dollars into a public welfare project. Five or six years, this is the level, I believe that in the next five or six years, I can maintain this level The speed of development. Compared with it, the behavior of throwing some money to a public welfare project is really insignificant."

It was an interview full of surprises. The host routinely asked a charity question to an upstart rich man. Who would have thought that Alice would give such an absolutely unorthodox answer. You can be so confident without engaging in charity, and most people can’t refute it because of your righteousness. It’s no wonder that the editor-in-chief will enthusiastically let the manuscript pass the review. There is no doubt that this issue of the magazine will be printed in an unplanned manner.

Then practice has proved that the editor-in-chief is the editor-in-chief, and experience in the industry is not covered.

Alice Wang's interview made the magazine's sales increase by 20 percent compared to the previous period, and this was the first day. And soon, because her opinion on charity in the article spread quickly, the next day's sales increased by another full five percent on the original basis, and that's just the next day!

Forbes, which is published every two weeks, finally sold 2.5 times as much as the previous issue because of this article, which made everyone in the newspaper want to tie Alice into the office, strip naked and love her collectively once.

How many times since the magazine's inception in 1917 have sales been boosted to this level by answering a personal question in an interview?

The answer is, zero!

And an answer like this naturally caused an extremely strong sensation in the society.

You know, the situation is polarized.

There are many people who scold Alice for being hypocritical, and many who praise her true nature. There are many people who persuade her to pay attention to her image, and many people support her views. Some people expressed their opinions publicly, while others did not. Of course, those who are interested can guess that Alice's speech has definitely won the hearts of most politicians.

Well, yes, the politicians.

To be reasonable, how many politicians are born as a show?

Participating in charity is beneficial to building one's own image, so participating is the common fundamental reason almost every politician participates in charity. In the same way, how many politicians shouted to the people on the podium to fully protect them, and made various low-profile gestures, then turned their heads and complained about the annoying people in front of their subordinates?

Alice definitely spoke their minds in a big way!

So a very delicate question is involved here: Which is more important to please the common people or to please the high-level?

Alice just smiled.

To be reasonable, how many people don't know that Watsons belongs to Li Ka-shing?

And how many people know whether the product they are using is shipped by Li's port logistics?

When the economic strength of the consortium reaches a certain level, it is not something you can resist if you want to.

Alice herself remembered a series of jokes.

My mother doesn't let me go to KFC, it's for foreigners, if I want to eat, I can eat Yonghe King.

Dear, KFC in China has been acquired by COFCO, and Yonghe King was established in the Philippines. Did you make it?

In the same way, people who don't want to buy Korean products but buy a certain domestic brand, do they know whether the company of that brand has been acquired by the United States? And the American company responsible for the acquisition, does the public know whether there are shares in the Korean company?

So she doesn't care at all whether people boycott her products as soon as the speech comes out, because they can't boycott at all. In comparison, it is undoubtedly more important to have a good relationship with the upper class.

Of course, it is also a key link that she herself will not be among some angry people.

Not long after the interview, she returned to Japan.

The current focus of work is all here.

"Huh... look, what a spectacle!"

Standing at the door, Alice said.

This is an oval-shaped underground space as a whole, with three longitudinally deployed piers, and a total of four huge berths in both directions. At this moment, under bright lights, two Typhoon-class strategic nuclear submarines are docking here.

With a total length of more than 170 meters, they are obviously giants, but they are still small in front of the standard berth of this Nimitz-class aircraft carrier.

At any rate, they arrived at last, and four hundred permanently hypnotized Soviet submariners lined up for inspection.

"It's spectacular. If you let them install the Trident nuclear missile, it will be even more spectacular."

Standing beside Alice at this time was Maiya. It was June, and of course the West Point Military Academy was on vacation, and it had been a long time since I had seen her. The tanned skin of this beauty was very much missed.

"The employees are here, the infrastructure is here, and the next step is the experimental subject of the death row prisoner. Our precious thinking detector is already hungry and thirsty."

After a long time, Alice of course made a new generation of mind detectors by hand, but neither the former nor the latter have ever been tested on humans. This is a research that can be fatal if you don't play well. The selection of the experimental site, staff and experimental subjects are all the most important tasks.

"Death row prisoners are not easy to get if you think about it." Maiya countered at the right time: "Unless you have already controlled a certain severe punishment prison and cleared up the relevant judicial departments."

This work, of course, did not take place, and the selection of prisoners on death row, of course, was only a subconscious first priority. Homeless people are also a good choice, especially the kind of homeless people whose family members dislike them, and even have no relatives. Alice has lived in Tokyo for so long, so she really knows where to find them.

The only obstacle is whether she can live up to her conscience.

To be reasonable, if you really don't care about anything, how can there be so many complicated problems?

"Or drug dealers."

In an instant, Alice targeted another group—there was a reason for not being in a hurry, because it was also a quick job to think about it.

Drug dealers, this choice also made Maiya disagree.

If drug addicts are pitiful, then drug dealers are basically a bunch of scum.

Especially the real big drug lords.

"Targets, Mexico, Venezuela."

Alice said: "You don't have to be polite to deal with the drug dealers there. There is also the Golden Triangle. I have crushed the reports on the power of those two sites. Maiya, let's use the Golden Triangle first. I will let Ada Follow me to give you support, let's go and level that place!"
