"Oscar, are you okay?"

"Not good, not good at all!"

At the breakfast table, facing Alice's thoughtful greetings with a smile on her face, Oscar covered the bag on his head and grinned.

"Oscar is really unlucky. It's okay to go down the stairs and turn around. He can even open the toilet door by himself. Why did he fall at the last moment?"

A blonde walked quickly from the kitchen with a steady pace. With a gentle smile, she first sent an egg to Alice's plate, and then handed two rolls of bacon to Oscar and Hannah respectively.

"And it fell very hard~"

Looking at the big red bag on my brother's forehead, the smile on the corner of Alice's mouth never faded from the beginning.

Very dangerous!

Just as the naughty child brother opened the door, she cleared all traces!

But even though Oscar was still closing his eyes, he broke into the bathroom!

In a rage, Alice could not care that he was her younger brother. She immediately threw him to the ground with her mind power, then took a big step and walked out. Although poor Oscar woke up, he could not find the real murderer. He could only cover his head on the dining table with annoyance and claim that he was unlucky.

"Oscar was injured today, I'll give you a portion of my oatmeal!"

Sitting opposite Alice is her sister Hannah, who is just ten years old this year. Compared to Alice's mixed-race who prefers Asian and perfect Chinese, Hannah inherits her grandmother's genes, with long crimson wavy hair and her blue eyes give her a strong British style.

"Look, Hannah is such a little lady."

Alice praised, while filling Hannah with oatmeal: "Dad, let me tell you a good news. I have developed the router."

The person sitting at the dining table is naturally Alice's father James in this life.

"So fast?"

James just took a sip of coffee and said in surprise: "Didn't you say that you only started developing this week? It's only been four or five days now, and it's done!?"

Sophie also stopped in surprise. Although the whole family knew what Alice was busy with recently, this is the hardware of a computer and it was made in a week?

Is this a little too fast?

Alice laughed proudly, and when she saw a piece of oats falling on the napkin, she reached out and flew it back to the dining table: "It's just a router, not just a development of the entire MS-DOS operating system, one week is enough. Dad, if you are interested, I can demonstrate it to you tonight~"

"Tsk, is there anyone urging you? Why are you doing so anxious?"

Oscar covered the swollen bag on his forehead and curled his lips at Alice: "You can't stay up late these days, right? It's a blessing that you didn't doze off during the day. What's the big deal if you delayed it for a month?"

Sophie just finished the meal for her family. While sitting down, she frowned at Oscar and said, "How do you talk? Vivi works so hard, isn't it for the sake of our whole family? Come on, Vivi, have another bacon."

While Alice took Bacon, James touched his chin and whispered: "It's okay to be anxious. I'm also watching "Volkswagen Electronics". The development speed of the computer industry can be said to be changing with each passing day and the competition is very fierce. In this way, Vivi, you ask the school for a leave tomorrow, and I'll take you to apply for a patent for this router."

Alice swallowed the whole bacon in one mouthful: "It's really intense. For this router, someone at Stanford must be studying it. They are the cradle of the entire Silicon Valley, but the progress is hard to say. But when it comes to patents, dad, you can rest assured."

After eating the eggs in just a few bites, Alice continued: "If you look carefully, you will find that although people in the computer industry are very enthusiastic about work, they do not have a high understanding of patents in this industry. Well... but it's too soon. After all, PCs were launched two years ago. According to the current popularity rate... Well, that's fine, so apply for a patent."

Alice is not really worried about the patent issue of routers. After all, the obvious situation in history is that this thing was first created by Cisco, and the company will only be registered at the end of this year.

It is now 1984. Of course, there is a network in the computer industry, but before the birth of Cisco's router, it was an expensive, separate computer that played the role of the network. In addition, different types of networks could not be easily interconnected, which led to the Stanford teacher couple making up their minds to make a cheap little guy who could connect to different networks.

Although the Posacks may have had similar products in the first few months of the company's registration at the end of the year, the performance is definitely not as good as Alice's.

Shortly after breakfast, the time for school was coming, and the ginger school bus had appeared on the street. Alice carried her schoolbag and walked out of the house with Hannah's hand.

When she took the lead on board the school bus, a beautiful woman came into view automatically.

Like Sophie, with a brilliant blonde hair, the driver Rorens smiled at the two girls and said, "Welcome to the car, Alice, Hannah, oh, where is the Oscar? Did he take a leave today?"

Alice smiled, “He bought a bicycle last Friday and rode it first this morning.”

Hannah didn't say anything, her eyes rolled around and pulled Alice's sleeve hard. Of course, Lorenze didn't doubt him, and said happily: "Oscar is really, I'm riding my bike away by myself. Come on, you two should get in the car."

The school bus at San Anto Primary School was driving all the way, and more than 30 children were picking up students from all households to attend classes. But when Alice walked into the car, the sound in the car suddenly dropped to another level.

"Hey, Alice, good morning."

"Hey, Hannah is so energetic today, Alice, where is your brother?"

"Oh, welcome to get in the car, the two sisters of the Wang family~!"

Along the way, in the much quieter carriage, about three or five students immediately greeted them, while the others looked at each other in different expressions and continued their chat.

"Well, good morning everyone."

Alice responded with a smile without a smile, almost no difference from talking to herself, and quickly pulled Hannah towards the rear of the car.

In the carriage that was almost full of people, only two seats at the end were vacant, while another black-haired girl was sitting in the corner by the window, reading a newspaper carefully.

"Hey, Sissi, are you watching "Volkswagen Electronics" again?"

Alice sat down next to the brunette girl with a familiarity, let Hannah sit on her right side, and intimately patted the girl on the shoulder: "Is there any news?"

A faint orchid scent drifted from the girl named Sissi. Although she also had black hair, unlike Alice's natural long hair, her hairstyle was the most standard Japanese Hime hairstyle. That is, her long, pure black hair was so straight that it drooped all the way to the waist, and a straight bang was left on her forehead.

Alice met this girl last year, and the other party was a transfer student who immigrated from France. There is no doubt that it was the one-quarter of the same ethnic origin brought by her mother that made her regard Sissi as a necessary dating partner without hesitation, and they also successfully became friends.

But what surprised Alice was that Sissi was not as interested in cosmetics as many French girls, but was naturally sensitive to the computer field, which was too unexpected.

The school bus started to roll and Hannah started chatting with her classmates. Sissi put down the newspaper and said with a tweet: "Now major media are spreading over the years to promote Microsoft's new system, and someone here is guessing when Gates will release new products. Hello, Alice, what do you think?"

Alice touched her nose and didn't say anything immediately.

In 1984, it is indeed a matter of trouble.

As for Microsoft, they have been promoting their new product, the Windows 1.0 operating system at the computer fair in Las Vegas since the end of last year. Alice knew that Bill Gates spent a total of 450,000 US dollars to promote it, not only did they bring relevant logos to taxis in the city, but also posted posters on the back seat windows, but also the hotel pillowcases were printed with relevant patterns!

How many assets did Microsoft have in total at this time?

Furthermore, when the exhibition officially began, Gates announced that the company would launch Windows 1.0 in the spring of 1984, the so-called unprecedented window operating system. With the early publicity offensive, the people's curiosity had long been thriving. How could the media not be allowed to report Microsoft's news all day long?

The reason why Bill Gates did this was because of a little-known Visicorp company, because the other party would probably develop a similar system before him, and it had already started to promote it. Of course, this was not something he was willing to accept.

The process is very interesting and even intense, but if we talk about the result of this business competition, Alice is certainly still 10,000 people to be assured. Does history prove everything?

"Vivi? Hello, I'll ask you a question."

Xixi's high-pitched voice recalled Alice's thoughts: "Spring is coming, and they have no news yet. I think Microsoft is going to postpone the votes. Vivi, do you think they can release the system in June?"

Alice curled her lips: "June? It would be good if it could come out at the end of next year."

Xixi glared at her eyes: "Just kidding? Stop for a year and a half!?"

Alice curled her lips again: "Do you think I will tell you that Gates hasn't made the system at all now?"

As soon as these words came out, Xixi's eyes widened even more. Looking closely, her eyes were as crystal clear as jade, emitting a green light: "You mean, Gates is now false propaganda? He won't do it, what should he do if he can't do it!"

Alice shrugged and said, "Then let's stop selling, and the industry questioned that the stock price fell... Well, Microsoft is not listed yet, that is, if he can't make the product quickly in the shortest time, the company's credibility will continue to decline and its main business will be affected."

Xixi nodded, frowned and stared at the newspaper, muttering and muttering, her voice was extremely small, and she just didn't know what she was talking about.

Hanna pulled Alice's sleeves and her voice was tender and soft: "Vivi, why don't you help Gates and help him make the system? If you take action, you will definitely be able to do it in a month! Otherwise, Sissi will definitely be angry~"

"Yes, if I get so angry, I will definitely not be able to spare that Gates!"

Sissi nodded vigorously and said, "I must buy a Gatling machine gun and knock his headquarters building in Albuquerque to pieces, so that he dares to quit! No, false propaganda!"

"Then you have to seize the opportunity, dear Sissi."

Alice looked out the window with a smile. Many junior and senior high school students were riding bicycles to the school, and many even waved to the school bus. However, she clearly noticed that she did not see Oscar.

"Most of Microsoft's employees are Seattle people. I'd bet you that in just three or two years, Gates will move the headquarters back instead of staying in New Mexico."

Xixi nodded again, and then, as if she suddenly remembered something, she whispered: "By the way, Vivi, when it comes to false propaganda, how do you know that he hasn't made the system yet? You are not an internal employee of Microsoft, what are you talking nonsense!?"

"Uh, did you just find out?"

"…Are you kidding me as a fool?"

"How can you do it? Dear Xixi, your IQ is as high as 250!"

"...Why do I still think you are scolding me?"

"No, where is it? Is the IQ of 250 not high?"
