Chapter 169 Catherine’s Dream of a Technology Empire

After Sanders left, Catherine opened her Microsoft II computer and inserted a cassette into it.

This cassette is a cassette for processing Word documents. This is a software for the p operating system, which is completely different from the version of "Wenquxing".

"feel good."

Catherine nodded.

Although it is not as easy to use as later systems, basic word processing can already be completed.

For now, the key to the development of personal computers is mainly concentrated in small and medium-sized enterprises. For ordinary home users, Xbox is probably their choice.

Although Catherine introduced a cheap home version of the Microsoft Model II computer, it was not mainstream.

After using Microsoft i-type computers, many users want to order type II computers. This kind of real computer can be said to greatly simplify daily work and make office work more efficient.

Looking at the clock, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon. Catherine got up and prepared to go back. She left the company an hour earlier than usual. This is because Catherine will participate in an exclusive interview with Angel TV tomorrow.

Although it was her own TV station, Catherine had always delegated power and only gave them some directions. In fact, she was not too familiar with this aspect. But she did not expect that they would invite her to participate in this program.

Catherine also thought it was quite interesting, so she was ready to participate.

Catherine's program is called "60 Minutes" - it is also modeled after a program launched by CBS in 1968.

Of course, because CBS TV station has not launched this program yet, Catherine chose this name for the program with peace of mind.

"60 Minutes" does not have a fixed column host. It only allows reporters who appear in the current program to give brief reviews in the studio. Its hosts are all journalists, and reporters are also hosts. Therefore, Catherine will hire a reporter for each program.

Famous journalists come to host the show.

The biggest feature is that the host may not only be an employee of Catherine, but sometimes also hire outside reporters.

But what Catherine didn't expect was that many years later, this program would become a standard for evaluating journalists. A reporter has hosted "60 Minutes", or has hosted multiple programs on "60 Minutes". Such a reporter

, tend to be popular.

The reporter who will conduct an exclusive interview with Catherine this time is named Dan Rather. This famous reporter known as the "Houston Storm" is very popular with the program crew because every time he does a program, the ratings can be as high as 35

%above.

This interview with Catherine will last about 15 to 25 minutes, but the filming may take several days.

Dan Rather plans to film a piece of Catherine's daily life and conduct an interview.

Early the next morning, Catherine received Dan Rather in the villa.

The exclusive interview on the "60 Minutes" program is not about sitting on the sofa and talking for 20 minutes, but more about your daily performance.

The conversation only lasted about 5 minutes, and most of the rest were about showing off your usual performance.

"Good morning, Miss Edson."

"Hello, Mr. Rather."

Sitting in the living room, Catherine felt a strange feeling.

Will you actually participate in such a talk show?

"I have used Apple's Microsoft computers. This tool is very convenient for text processing and can be modified at any time. It is much better than a typewriter. I have to say that this product is really good."

"That's great."

As a journalist, Rather, it is indeed very convenient to use document processing software.

"What we have been doing is to make people's lives simpler and easier."

"I've heard a lot about you. Do you feel very busy running a company, making movies, and taking care of your studies?"

Catherine shook her head.

"No, I feel very fulfilled."

"Most people have heard of Miss Katherine Edson because of the Times magazine report and the movie "Wasteland," but the reason why I have a profound impact on you is because of "The Personal Computer."

How did you come up with such an unprecedented product?"

"Sometimes, what we need is a pair of eyes that are good at discovery. Some things are not difficult, as long as we 'find' it."

Catherine said confidently, without any shame at all.

"Then what's the secret to how you promote such a novel thing?"

"Because of experience. Without experience, we don't know what this product is like, and we don't know how this thing will facilitate our lives."

"Experience?"

"Yes, it can be direct experience or indirect experience."

For Catherine, this is indeed one of her secrets.

For example, allowing TV station editors to experience the advantages of digital video editing will create a need for video digitization. Video digitization requires a corresponding set of analog-to-digital conversion/digital photography equipment, computers and corresponding editing software.

Digital storage devices, digital transmission networks, digital television, etc. These are indirect demands arising from video digitization.

"Your movies are also very popular. Although you haven't made many movies, you already have a lot of supporters."

"oh?"

Catherine has never heard of this. In fact, she rarely appears in the public eye and only goes out in a hurry. Moreover, she is more interested in watching the news about various anti-war demonstrations. Facts

On the Internet, Catherine almost only watches her own TV station.

"In recent days, I have been in the company all the time."

Catherine smiled, covering up the past.

Have fans yourself?

Catherine didn't believe it.

But listening to what Dan Rather said, it seems that this is indeed the case?

Unconsciously, Catherine felt complacent.

"Of the people I know, some are movie buffs and others are techies. You're in Silicon Valley, so to speak, and everyone knows about it. And your 'video games'...especially Emma

Cube, it’s really good.”

It looks like Dan Rather also enjoys playing with Emma Cube.

However, Catherine felt that what he said was a little untrue. Catherine looked at her employees every day, and she didn't seem to feel this way.

"What has been the reason that has supported your interest in the company all this time?"

Seeing that Catherine seemed a little confused, he changed the question again.

"It's because of my dream."

"Oh? Then what is your dream?"

"My dream... is to build a big technological empire, a technological empire that belongs only to me."

Yes, a technological empire "built" completely according to one's own wishes. Everything cultivated in this empire was all created by oneself.

"What a great dream." He smiled, and then asked Catherine a few questions, and the whole morning passed like this.

"How does it feel to be interviewed?" Elsa smiled at Catherine.

"It's... not bad..." Catherine really didn't know what to call this feeling.

Catherine knelt down on the sofa, and then looked at Elsa like this, making her a little uncomfortable.

"Kate?" Elsa was a little embarrassed.

"What's wrong?"

"No, it's nothing." Catherine narrowed her eyes.

"By the way, Elsa, am I really famous?" Catherine suddenly asked again.

"You can put it this way..." Elsa was also a little unsure.

Probably because she has been with Catherine for a long time, Elsa has become a bit "homey".

"But when I go to the cinema, I often hear people around me talking about you..." Elsa said, but suddenly blushed.

"Huh?" Catherine looked at Elsa's inexplicable blush and felt a little strange.

"I remember the last time I went to the cinema...the people sitting in the row in front of me were always discussing you..." She seemed to not know how to explain, and then quickly changed the subject.

"But some people also affectionately call you 'little angel' or 'magic princess' or something like that."

"Magical princess? Wasn't she a magical girl before?" Catherine complained.

She couldn't understand why she got such a nickname.

"By the way, where's Jenny?"

Catherine asked.

Jenny has been living with Catherine and helping Elsa with auxiliary hypnotherapy. Elsa has become a lot more cheerful recently.

"It seems like she called from home, but she has been on the phone for an hour."

Since the call came from the other party's home, Catherine couldn't ask anything. She turned on the TV and started watching the news.

What is playing on TV now is the replay of the World Cup finals.

The 1966 World Cup was held in England, and it was England that won the World Cup.

But Catherine is not very familiar with the stars of this era.

To be honest, Catherine could remember very few football players who could be named, only Messi and Ronaldo, but none of them seemed to have been born yet.

When it was almost lunch, Jenny finally finished the phone call, but Jenny looked like she was exhausted now, completely losing her previous dignity.

"It's really terrible." Jenny lay down on the sofa regardless of her image.

Seeing the other party's uncharacteristic look, Catherine asked: "What happened?"

"My grandfather...he wanted me to go to a dance...and my mother just called...oh, my god, they must be trying to find me a so-called 'matching' boyfriend or something.

"

Jenny's grandfather was an arms dealer, so the so-called "well-matched" concept still existed at the upper levels. Otherwise, later on, if a certain prince married a certain commoner princess, it would not have become news.

It was actually a blind date...

Catherine can't be of much help in this matter.

"By the way...Kate, can I ask you a favor?"

Jenny suddenly became energetic.
