I Am A Trilionaire - Chapter 8
On the 18th, there was a crowd outside the London Hotel.
Looking at the flow of people, Henry felt a little frustrated in his heart. If he signed everyone’s signatures, wouldn’t his hand be removed?
Fortunately, the workers told Henry that they only signed a limited number of books, about one hundred copies. Henry came out, met with many fans, casually said a few words of thanks, and then, under staffing arrangements, began signing the book. Because of the large number of people present, one hundred lucky people were drawn by lottery, and they would get Henry’s autograph.
This event is very lively. Even though Henry was only eleven years old, he was young and looked mature, handsome and cute, and he was greatly loved by fans. At the end of the book signing ceremony, Henry’s face was covered with lipstick.
Although the signing ceremony was over, Penguin Press invited a singer to sing on the spot, the atmosphere was very hot, and Henry returned to the hotel to rest.
During the day, Henry eats Asian food and will leave the hotel to visit his parents’ funeral. As soon as I left the door, I saw Peter and Rosa running to Henry with flattered faces.
“Oh, Henry, you are in London, why don’t you come visit your uncle and aunt, we miss you !!!” Rosa’s face was full of smile, her tone was very friendly!
“Oh, this is Aunt Rosa and Uncle Peter …” Henry looked at them, a look of disgust on his face.
But Peter and his wife pretended not to know, they were still smiling, and shamelessly stepped forward, saying: “Henry, you go back to your uncle’s house, we will take good care of you!” The fat on Rosa’s face moved and her eyes glowed. There was a bit of greed and cunning, he leaned over to Henry and whispered, “Henry, uncle and aunt are your relatives. You and your uncle are both members of the Williams family and are in the same family. You must go back to your uncle and live with us. And your current guardian will certainly not treat you sincerely, because you have no blood relations with him !!! ”
Henry looked at him and smiled disgustedly, maybe Peter and his wife did not know that the person who adopted him was his grandfather.
“Aunt Rosa, after I return, do I have to wash, mop, and clean every day? Do I have to eat your leftovers every day? Do I have to let you torture and humiliate me every day?” Henry’s tone was cold, and Rosa and Peter immediately felt ashamed and blushed with embarrassment.
“Henry, you misunderstood us …”
Rosa still wants an excuse, but Henry interrupts: “Okay, don’t explain. I know who you are. Don’t you just want to take my money?”
Henry stops and takes a stack of money from his wallet.
“EAT THAT MONEY !!!”
“But I won’t give it to you!”
Henry snickered as he called the hotel clerk.
“Need help, sir?”
“Go and give the money to the beggars there!” Henry handed over a handful of money in his hand, and then pointed to a mother and daughter who were begging in the distance.
The waiter was surprised, a pile of money, no less than a thousand pounds.
“Okay, sir!”
When the waiter takes the money, Rosa and Peter show greed on their faces, but at the same time they are embarrassed. Slaps like that make Rosa and Peter’s faces very ugly. Even though they have thick skin, the strange eyes of the people around them still make their faces red with embarrassment, and they want to immediately dig a hole to hide.
Rosa was accustomed to oppressing Henry before, but one day Henry suddenly became famous and rich, which made Rosa regret, envy, and hate. Initially, when I came to see Henry today, he was ready to be ridiculed by him, but in reality, he could not stand it at all. Faced with a slap on his face by Henry, Rosa is annoyed and looks at Henry who gave the money to a beggar and not to him. Suddenly, there was anger in his heart erupting like a volcanic eruption. He immediately shouted at Henry: “Henry, don’t think you have money, you can be arrogant in front of us! You are maid, you kill your biological parents, and you will not die well someday !!!”
The hotel staff saw that the situation was not right, and someone immediately kicked out Peter and Rosa!
Reporters and media in addition to stepping forward to ask questions and take photos, with excited and eager expressions, and there must be headlines tomorrow!
Henry did not say a word, but with the help of staff, he got into the car.
In the afternoon, Henry goes to his parents’ funeral. There, Henry told his experience on his mother’s gravestone about his grandfather, Roger Nicholas, saying that he regretted sending them away, and said that when he left, he regretted losing his mother, and missed his mother! ! !
Henry is talking, and he can’t help but cry.
The next day, Henry flies back to the United States by plane. As for people from the British empire, no one contacted him today. Henry was a little depressed, thinking, maybe because of his age.
Henry lived with the Bosack family before, but after a long time, Henry found a problem. Henry was not aware of this problem at first. Until one or two in the middle of the night, Henry suddenly understood that living there alone was obviously hampering the sexual life of others.
Bosack and Lerner are in their thirties, but now they don’t have children. The couple must be worried, but Henry stayed there two days a week, and it was very uncomfortable for them to have sex.
Because of this, Henry bought a small villa in Beverly Hills. Beverly Hills is a dream place in the minds of world famous billionaires. It is home to many Hollywood movie star mansions. Henry wants this place. He once imagined buying a house here, facing the sea and flowering in spring. . Even though Henry is not very rich now, he still has no problem buying a small villa of more than two million dollars.
However, when the money is spent. Suddenly Henry reacted, Nicholas Bookstore had carried out a great operation and spent a lot of money. So I started to get dizzy looking for money again.
As for Cisco, this is much better.
Stanford University, the closest to Silicon Valley, has networked throughout schools, with hundreds of computers on the same network. The reason why the progress of Stanford University network development is so fast is, besides the very high level of the school computer itself, it is also inseparable from the strong support of Cisco. As former directors of Stanford University, Bosack and Lerner saw that many resources would be biased towards Stanford University.
With their support and connections, the Stanford University network will grow!
Henry is also pleased to see his success, Stanford University is a school with the best computer skills, and will bring up many internet talents. Cisco’s ability to maintain a good relationship with it has a big effect on the development of the company!
As a prestigious American university, Stanford University is naturally connected with many companies and research institutions. To work together and develop closely, it is necessary to join the Stanford network. As a result, many companies have bought routers to join the Stanford University network. For the time being, Cisco reached the pinnacle of business.
A calm past in 1985, and arrival in 1986, Cisco has become famous.
This year, the US National Science Foundation established the National Science Foundation Network, which has a transmission rate of 56Kbits and is connected to five supercomputer centers to realize long-distance transmission. The National Science Foundation network is very good, on par with the predecessors of the Internet, and is the first backbone network in the United States. The Stanford University network and Harvard University network are one east and west, and the distance is far. If you want to connect the network, you can only join this large backbone network. Nobody knows how to spend it if there is too much money just enough to pull the fiber …
The formation of the National Science Foundation Network naturally greatly encouraged the development of Cisco.
Cisco seems to be born at a historical moment, serving the needs of the times, therefore it will definitely be a trend maker in this era!
The development of Cisco is progressing rapidly, and for a while. Henry’s other industry, Nicholas Bookstore’s Netscape browser, has finished, although it looks very bad for Henry, it’s been very good at the moment. The company then spent more than a month creating the Nicholas Bookstore website. However, the website content is rather large, with lots of book data, plus the size of the browser itself, numbering more than 4 million, which greatly tests the capacity of the hard drive. Since the hard disk at that time was only 20 or 30 MB, it can be imagined that of course it was not easy for users to install this themselves.
For this problem, Henry is very problematic, the best way is to find a computer manufacturer to work with. But why do other people have to work with you, and why do they install software for you?
It is impossible, only one family will run to persuade them to install the software, and explain the benefits to their company and users after installing the software! Henry hired a large number of salespeople to run the business, but his influence was not very good. But Henry knew very well about the development of school networks in the United States, so he finally had an idea to find another way. Through collaboration with Cisco and several universities, the Netscape browser can be connected to school servers. Every computer user who enters the school network can install the software via download.
The university’s willingness to help is largely based on Cisco’s influence, and Cisco has made certain concessions on router prices. But in reality, Cisco has adapted and planned for all future strategic development, where schools are the focus and center. Therefore, for the network to grow faster, the price of routers sold to schools must be reduced.
Cisco sells good things to these schools, so the school is happy and does a little help at the Nicholas Bookstore. As a major controlling shareholder of Cisco, Henry can still look for a little personal benefit for himself without harming Cisco’s interests! In addition, Nicholas Bookstore and Cisco are basically the same owner. The better the development of both, the better they can complement and withstand risks!
Bossacks agreed with Henry’s request for help to help Nicholas Bookstore.
Therefore, in April 1986, Nicholas Bookstore also ushered in the development of leapfrog! According to download statistics from various universities, more than 1,000 people have installed the Netscape browser. There are more than 400 users who have used the Nicholas Bookstore to make purchases. So far, Nicholas Bookstore has sold a total of 831 books!
