"Boss, it's nothing to further optimize the player software, add warranty terms, replace the latest dvd hardware for free within three years for ibox users, follow-up new products will also be updated in real time, and use the latest accessories. This is too exaggerated. We are game consoles, aren't we? dvd player?"

"c, you think about it this way, two manufacturers, facing the needs of users, one insisted that we are game consoles, dvd is just an accessory, and does not guarantee related experience. The other said, respected customers, if you want to be a game console, you can be a Game consoles, if you want to be a DVD, be a DVD. So, which product will be more popular in the end?"

"Of course... not necessarily."

manhattan.

In the office on 66th Street on the Upper West Side, Simon is having a video call with Miss C, and the topic is about further enhancing the performance of the ibox series of dvds.

Hearing the coquettish tone of Claire who clearly agrees but still deliberately contradicts, Simon smiled and said, "I know this will definitely bring a lot of extra cost, but, as long as it is for the sake of the overall situation, you also understand that dvd's Rapid promotion, compared with video tapes, the experience of home entertainment will be better and the cost will be lower, which can greatly stimulate the further development of film and television peripherals."

"Of course I understand, Boss, the problem is..." Claire looked pitiful on the other side of the screen: "We paid the cost, but we won't get any benefits, Boss, you will definitely not allow the price of ibox to increase, Right?"

This, Simon really can’t help it. The profit of DVD hardware is mainly due to the patent fees collected by the major manufacturers who monopolize the DVD patents. Tinkber obviously does not have this part of the accumulation, so he can only say: "The sales share of game software is not enough. If you make money, you should give back to the society.”

"I don't want to give back to the society, and I'm not an angel," Miss C finally pretended to persist for a while, it was a little fun between men and women, without too much temper, and quickly said: "Boss, I was thinking, can I get out of here?" A fee from the publisher, or else set up a special DVD version that only plays Daenerys and our stakeholders?"

Technically, just like the current dvd has different region codes in different regions of the world, the idea described by C girl is feasible. But, just like the area code, Simon always feels too petty.

"No," resolutely vetoed, Simon remembered a sentence, and said with a smile: "This will only narrow your own path, don't be so stingy."

Girl c was helpless: "Okay, okay, let's just give back to the society."

After finishing the business, the C-girl who just got up and was still in her residence on the west coast didn't hang up in a hurry, and said a few trivial words, mainly about the little baby of the D-girl, Elliott Wei, who was born in December last year. Stroll, who said that the little guy urinated on her last night, is still disgusted.

Of course, Simon could feel the implication of Miss C's words. He probably finally started to envy her, and became more enthusiastic about children's affairs.

However, this kind of thing really can't be rushed.

Simon is not the donkey of the production team.

Be resigned!

After chatting for a while, Simon finally hung up, and Simon started the follow-up work until noon. He made an appointment in advance to have dinner at Leibould's house and left the company temporarily.

When I came to Raybould's house, besides the Rayboulds, there were also Philip and his girlfriend Nora Registrar who had met a few times.

Mainly, Philip and Nora are getting ready to get married in July.

The reason for this rush is that Nora is pregnant.

This lunch is obviously also to invite Simon in person. The wedding is planned to be held in Washington, which is Nora’s hometown. Jennifer, who lives on the west coast, has already communicated with Simon in private. Simon must not miss the wedding of a woman kissing her brother. Otherwise, outsiders would think that there was some conflict between the two families.

Therefore, when Philip brought it up at the dinner table, Simon readily agreed.

But, Simon could see that James and Carol were not as happy on the surface, but it was actually easy to understand.

The threshold for the Raybould family is very high now, and although the Regist family is a so-called political family, they are only small bureaucrats in Washington after all, and the whole family has not produced any big names in the past hundred years. Then, when the couple heard the news that the girl had been pregnant for more than a month and was in a hurry to get married, they couldn't help muttering, had their son been tricked?

Simon was not interested in this, and, after all, they were all lawyers, and the Rayboulds would be very concerned about their son's prenuptial agreement, and he didn't need to remind him.

Everyone discussed the details of the wedding enthusiastically, and the topic soon turned to some recent layouts of the Westeros system. Of course, after all, there is still a temporary outsider, so it is impossible to talk about any secrets.

Nora Register was very enthusiastic about being able to participate in this kind of discussion, and, as a smart girl, she quickly noticed some problems in Simon's various layouts, and offered to ask: "Simon, I feel that you seem to be You don’t have confidence in the federal system, why is that?”

Let’s take a look at this question.

Simon glanced at the girl opposite and said, "So, tell me, where does your confidence in the Federation come from?"

Presumably because of the pregnancy, Nora Ridge

Ster lost some of the stupefied frizz that he had seen in the past few times. He obviously thought about it seriously for a moment, and tentatively said: "Simon, the Federation is the largest economy and the only superpower on the planet. , isn't that enough?"

"Speaking of the largest economy," Simon asked with a smile, "Do you know when the Commonwealth became the world's largest economy?"

Nora obviously knew exactly this question, and immediately replied: "1890."

However, when these words came out, Philip dismantled her first: "No, I remember, it seems to be 1895."

Nora was a little embarrassed for a moment, and glared coquettishly at her fiancé beside her.

"Actually, they are pretty much the same." Simon glanced at the couple who were watching from the sidelines with a smile. He never thought that the two opposites could still break up because of a single sentence, so he could only take the initiative to smooth things over: "That period was not as good as it is now. Accurate statistics, however, are about the last decade of the 19th century."

Seeing Simon help him smooth things over, Nora sent a grateful look over, and asked cooperatively, "And then?"

Simon held the tableware and made a gesture of spreading his hands slightly: "Then, in 1929, just over thirty years later, the federal economy was even larger at that time, but it failed to prevent the Great Depression from coming. None of us experienced it , But, if you ask the old people who have experienced that period, they will definitely give a unified feeling, the end of the world. Do you know, until now, there are still many old people who have not shaken off the ptsd brought about by the Great Depression, There is always a habit of hoarding a lot of food at home. So, you see, the world's largest economy is not representative of anything at all."
