"Ada, you are actually better looking. I'm serious."

After looking at it for a long time, Catherine came to this conclusion.

"No need to comfort me, Kate."

Ada pinched her face.

"Although I am very confident about my figure, my face is only pretty good at best."

There are some differences between European and American aesthetic views and Catherine's.

"It's you, Kate. If you go to film, you will be able to charm a lot of people. Do you know that after "Red Alert" was played, everyone was obsessed with Elizabeth. I guess they didn't

Just think of the real person!"

Catherine shrugged.

"But Catherine, you have such a high talent, why don't you go filming?"

Catherine shook her head: "You know, Ada, my energy is limited, and Ark Group cannot do without me."

Indeed, Catherine is the helmsman of Ark Group, guiding the company's direction. Without Catherine's foresight, the company would not be able to get ahead of others. Although it will not decline in the future, the pace of continued progress will be reduced by at least half.

"Well, Uncle Kate Holman once said that you have great talent and it would be a pity not to act."

"But we have to know the trade-offs, Ada."

After hearing these words, Catherine suddenly felt that filming seemed very interesting. Maybe she can try it in the future?

"Actually, I still think I would be better as a director... Who knows, maybe I will film less and less in the future."

Catherine estimated that shooting one film a year would be enough.

In the next month, Catherine stayed on the set. Although "Flags of Our Fathers" could be shot quickly, it was very troublesome to find actors for "Letters from Iwo Jima."

But it is better to shoot this than not to shoot it - as a capitalist, profit comes first.

Now, the relationship between the United States and Japan is on the rise, which is why Japanese products can quickly enter the United States.

Japan has given a very generous subsidy to the U.S. military stationed in Japan in "Dad's Country". It is impossible to split the relationship between the United States and Japan these days.

Instead of doing this, it's better to ride the wave and make some extra money.

Anyway, the studio has been set up, so even if we have to shoot, the cost can be saved by more than half.

What's more, the historical box office of "Letter from Iwo Jima" was higher than that of "Flags of Our Fathers". Catherine believes that if it can be released in Japan, the box office will be "awesome".

In fact, this film was made to appease the Japanese. Slapping the Japanese and giving them sweet dates was something Americans liked to do during this case. As for the domestic box office, Catherine was not that optimistic.

But at this time, Catherine was holding a market survey and laughing, because the price of Japanese TV sets that were too low had begun to rise.

"What to do next?" Olson asked, "Should we pursue the victory and drive away the Japanese companies?"

"No, let's let them do it and contact them. I think they are already anxious. Tell them that we can consider withdrawing the lawsuit, but -" Catherine stretched out another finger: "The standard wants us to

Formulated.”

Just banning it is not enough, Catherine knows. And more importantly, the relationship between the United States and Japan also determines that she cannot do that.

And if you go too far, antitrust laws will get you in trouble.

Although the patent for the integrated circuit is in my own hands, I own more than 90% of Intel's shares!

So Catherine cannot have a monopoly.

She chose the standard.

The standard is the boss, such as the later 3.5-inch floppy drive. Sony, Philips, and Panasonic each receive US$79 million in patent licensing fees every year. From 1985 to 2005, the patent licensing alone gave these three companies a lot of money.

A net profit.

"Besides, Olson, you are the president, and like Sanders, you should know how to make decisions."

Catherine's "standard" plan for selling is not too difficult for the other party to think of.

Olson nodded: "I'm just worried that the incorrect policy will lead to losses."

"Loss is not terrible. The so-called CEO is not like those government officials. Once they make a mistake, they must step down. Executives should bear responsibility. There is no one who is infallible in this world. If something goes wrong,

, you should make up for it yourself instead of using various methods to resign."

Olson nodded, "I understand. I think that maybe the new 'Long Tube' technology will give us a more solid advantage in the TV industry. Apart from the law, there is nothing that can scare us more."

"

"Okay, I'm going to write a report to the Pentagon."

Olson nodded. He guessed that this was probably related to Intel's Z80.

The military version of z80 has been released.

The military version is actually very simple, because judging from the appearance of the Pentagon, it seems to be mainly used for guided weapons, so it does not need to be resistant to high and low temperatures like satellites. The most important thing is the stability of the system.

However, Catherine's report was not about this aspect, but about something new that she took advantage of this opportunity.

——Fluorescent multilayer optical disc technology (fluorescent-multilayer-dis).

fmd is a disc format developed by constellation-3d, but this company has not yet appeared.

Unlike ordinary optical discs, FMD uses fluorescent technology instead of reflective materials to store data.

Phosphorescent materials allow optical discs to use three-dimensional optical data storage and have up to 100 data layers. These additional layers may allow FMDS to be capable of reaching terabyte levels while maintaining the same physical dimensions of traditional optical discs.

Such an fmd disc can read the disc with a full spectrum, and can read hundreds of layers of data at a time, with a data stream calculated in g per second. Historically, fluorescent discs were a European technology, so they were banned by IBM - once

With the advent of optical discs, today's industry will become a joke, and Blu-ray and other such things will be just a piece of cake.

In 2000, the storage capacity of the first-generation FMD was already as high as 50GB, and it would take several years for Blu-ray technology to catch up. However, a few years later, the second-generation FMD was already a terabyte-level storage tool.

.

The cost of this thing is over 3,000 US dollars, so it is naturally unlikely to be used by civilians, but Catherine believes that the military will be happy to accept this technology.

Catherine also considered the reason why she chose fmd, mainly because of the "spectroscopic concept".

Using this light splitting concept to create optical fiber gate circuits and develop optical storage devices can be said to be a powerful tool. With Catherine's optical fiber technology, it is even possible to realize computers that do not require photoelectric conversion.

Although that was decades later, it was because it started too late.

After all, computers are a very new thing. Although Catherine's Microsoft computer was a joke, it pointed the way for other manufacturers. If Catherine wants to continue to be ahead, she can only rely on her own foresight.

Although these technologies sound far away, without these concepts, how can you make money to promote your own technology reserves?

Based on the idea that since FC is available, players will never be allowed to play on PS, Catherine is selfishly planning for her future.

Just like now, now, Catherine and IBM are cooperating to develop laser discs, and on the other hand, the bright future of fluorescent discs is handed over to the Pentagon, while Catherine herself is developing the VCD format...
