Hollywood Hunter

There were two more people in the restaurant, which made it more lively. Chen Qing didn't say much after that, watching the two goblins, one bold and the other pretending to be shy and clumsy, interacting with the man.

After all these years, Chen Qing has long understood that her boss seems to be easy to talk to Yingying Yanyan by her side, but she really wants to get into the heart of a man... Even Chen Qing herself is not sure until now. What's more, my strategy of "clothes are not as good as new" is not vegetarian, so I don't have the slightest worry that some goblins will suddenly appear to compete for favor.

Sure enough, after breakfast, the two girls who thought they were pleasing to the man could only watch him leave by helicopter. Chen Qing also followed and rushed to Manhattan to start their day's schedule.

Today is April 29th.

Saturday.

Things like weekends are mainly aimed at the working class. To the extent of Simon and Chen Qing, it is difficult to make any difference between different dates, because the schedule at this level is actually quite free. If you suddenly don't want to work, you can just take a few days off for yourself. The key is whether the various problems caused by this can be endured.

When Simon arrived at Daenerys' East Coast headquarters on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, the first thing he paid attention to was the information about ibox-10 in the past week.

It’s been exactly one week since the official launch of the ibox-10. Not only has the ibox-10 continued to be out of stock on physical retail channels, but the official price of $299 has generally been fired to more than $1,000 in the scalper market. Less than half of it has been sent out, and it will take more than a week for the rest to be delivered.

On the other hand, as a new electronic product that integrates a new software and hardware system, the bugs that were initially worried about have also appeared one after another.

In just one week, users from all over North America voluntarily reported more than 20 bugs. Fortunately, for the time being, most of them are software bugs that do not affect the operation of the host. Through network patches, they can be fixed quickly, even if some users do not Conditions or unwillingness to connect to the Internet will not cause too many obstacles to use.

While Tinkber generously rewarded all users who reported bugs, he also encountered another, more serious problem.

Crack!

For major console manufacturers, no matter in the past, present or future, the most hated thing is the cracking of game consoles by hackers. Because after cracking, users can use pirated game software smoothly, which is equivalent to cutting off the biggest source of profit for console manufacturers.

When the R\u0026D team debated whether to equip the ibox with a networking function, the biggest concern was to crack it.

However, beware of all possible precautions, it is still only a short period of three days, cracking software and special tutorials for ibox-10 appeared on the Internet.

Ting Kebaier responded quickly to this, and joined forces with Igret to directly block the website that released the ibox-10 cracking solution, and at the same time used the Weijia intelligence network to pursue the hackers who developed related software.

However, everyone also knows that there has never been an impenetrable system, and this kind of anti-blocking cannot prevent countless users who want to play pirated games for free from their determination to pursue 'freedom'.

Of course, there is no countermeasure here.

Still online.

Networking is a double-edged sword, which not only allows users to find and use cracking software directly from the Internet more conveniently, but also facilitates Tinkobel officials to restrict users' cracking behavior through the network.

As long as the information feedback that the user's host is suspected of being cracked is detected, of course the host cannot be directly shut down here. Although it can be done, unless the user restores the original version of the system, otherwise, no matter whether it is online consumption, online battles or other things that involve Don't even think about using the functions that require networking.

True stand-alone.

Tinkber has considerable confidence in this, which can be regarded as a part of psychology.

Just like a person, if he is born dumb, he will not speak if he can’t speak, but if he can communicate with others, but suddenly he can’t speak again, it may be nothing for a short time, but he may become crazy after a long time.

From the very beginning, Tinkber's team paid great attention to the development of various interactive functions, and this is the key.

In any case, ibox-10 can be called a phenomenon-level explosive new electronic product in 2000.

In addition to the huge profits that this console itself is expected to bring to Tinkobel and various partners, because of the hot sale of ibox-10, in the past trading week, Tinkobel, Igret and Daenerys The stock prices of related companies have also risen sharply again, and many related companies have benefited from it.

For example, besides the Big Three, Skooper is worth talking about.

Skooper has successfully completed the acquisition of Qualcomm. Before Tinkobel's spring conference, whether it is the new Skober team after the merger or Simon, who leads all this behind the scenes, they all tend to Skopel will gradually Turn to the field of communication technology.

Unexpectedly, the release of ibox-10 brought a big change to Skopper.

That's right, DVDs.

Because of the advance deployment of traditional electronic giants such as Toshiba and Hitachi for dvd technology, everyone originally thought that even if Daenerys won a certain market share for Skopper through content advantages as a condition, it would be impossible to be like vcd after all. One big family.

The result, the ibox-10, gave Skopper an indirect breakthrough in the DVD market.

The reason is very simple, because each ibox-10 can actually be used as a DVD, even if it does not have the perfect functions of a professional DVD player, it is enough for ordinary people to watch movies every day.

more than enough. As for the ibox-10's dvd solution, including the decoding chip, it is natural that the benefits will not flow to outsiders, and Skober is in charge.

Not much else to say, just a simple comparison. In the previous year of 1999, the total number of dvd video decoding chips shipped by Scooper in the whole year was only more than 2 million pieces. This time, it monopolized the ibox-10 order, which means that only In the first year, we can ensure the shipment of 20 million sets of DVD accessories.

Furthermore, the industry estimates that the global DVD shipments in 2000 will be about 30 million units, which is still the result of the joint efforts of major manufacturers due to the pressure of the Westeros system to promote VCDs in Asia.

Neither the dvd-capable Sony ps2 nor Tinkobel's ibox-10 are counted. Now, the fact is that including the ps2, which is also a hot seller, the original figure of 30 million units is equivalent to directly doubling.

Compared with Sony, it is only to ensure that the basic configuration of the disk reading and installation program is low, and the relevant functions have been considered in advance. On the ibox-10 side, except that it does not have as rich functions as professional DVDs, this host plays DVDs with the quality and sound quality of DVDs. Etc., not bad at all.

All in all, the current result is that ibox-10, which is temporarily limited to the North American market, is expected to have a global share of 40% in North America in 2000, which is 12 million units of professional DVD shipments. The 10 brand 'dvd' is equivalent to directly capturing the first position in the market share.

Because ibox-10 will greatly accelerate the iteration of DVDs in North America to traditional video recorders, Blockbuster, which is also part of the Westeros system, has also begun to adjust its DVD rental business.

Even though Tinkber lowered the purchase price of related accessories from Skober to the lowest, and Skober didn't think about making too much money because of the transformational thinking, but such a huge expected shipment still directly drove The company's related businesses are expected to skyrocket in profits.

The most direct feedback is the stock price.

At the close of trading on the Friday before Tinkobel’s spring conference, Scooper’s market value was only 55.3 billion US dollars. By the close of the previous Friday, the stock price had risen by 37% in two weeks, and its market value had reached 76.1 billion. In less than half a month, this company has brought shareholders more than 20 billion US dollars in market value gains.

Skoop is only one of the ibox-10 concept stocks that benefited during the same period. The collective rise of many popular stocks in the technology stock market pushed the Nasdaq index to further break through from 6,500 in the middle of the month to the peak in March 1997. 7000 points high.

As of Friday's close yesterday, the Nasdaq index was fixed at a high of 7109 points, surpassing the record of 7045 points created on March 34, 1997.

In the increasingly crazy trend of technology stocks, what everyone cares about now is how high can the Nasdaq Index go this time?

8000 points?

Or 9000 points?
