new week.

After breakfast, Simon and Janet hurried to the airport after saying goodbye.

Today is the launch day of Ygrit's two major online products, ypay and ystore, and Simon promised to attend today's launch last week.

Arrived at Los Angeles International Airport, the private plane has been parked on the runway.

Simon entered the cabin with his entourage. There were already people waiting inside, namely Sandra Bullock and female assistant Jennifer. The female assistant was going to accompany Simon to San Francisco. As the spokesperson for Igret, Sandra also wanted to accompany Simon to San Francisco. To attend this press conference, I made a special call to get a plane over the weekend.

Since their marriage last year, Simon and Sandra have completely turned into friends, but the relationship is also closer than ordinary boyfriend and girlfriend.

After hugging and greeting, everyone came to a living room in the middle cabin, and the plane took off quickly.

After the Boeing 767 flew smoothly, Sandra unbuckled the seat belt and got up from the fixed seat to get up to Simon: "Simon, can't the matter of "Silence of the Lambs" really impact this year's Oscars?"

Simon sat down on the sofa casually, took the today's newspaper handed over by the female assistant, opened it, and said with a smile, "Jonathan asked you to ask?"

Sandra nodded and said, "Yeah, but, according to the reputation of "Silence of the Lambs", I also think it can hit the Oscars."

Several creators of "The Silence of the Lambs", Robert Duvall's nominations and a series of awards, have already achieved success, Sandra's background is still insufficient, this time the goal is to rush for a Golden Globe nomination, and in the end, only Jonathan is left. Demi, the middle-aged director has been in Hollywood for many years.

There are probably few filmmakers in Hollywood who don't want to win an Oscar.

"Silence of the Lambs" is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity for Jonathan Demme to win awards. Simon knew better that this was also Jonathan Demme's only chance to nominate and win.

However, Daenerys Entertainment cannot easily change the company's established strategy for someone.

What's more, even if you want to change, because Daenerys Entertainment has won a series of important Oscar awards in the past two years, horror movies are not favored by Oscar after all, and this time it is unlikely to be like the original time and space. Winning awards such as best picture and best director is at most a string of nominations.

Simon did not hide these details from Sandra, and explained it seriously, saying: "So, this time, I can only say sorry."

Sandra wasn't completely ignorant of these underlying Hollywood rules either, and at this point it made sense. Whether a film can win or not depends on the quality of itself, and other factors also involve the influence of too many external factors.

Since there was no hope of winning the prize, Sandra didn't mention it anymore, and changed the subject: "Jenny will be full-term next month, why didn't you hear that she was hosting a baby party, or did you say you didn't plan to invite me? "

Westerners hold a party to welcome the little one before the baby is born.

If it was a few months ago, Janet would have been playing this with gusto, but now, she probably isn't.

"Probably didn't remember it. I'll go back and remind her."

Sandra leaned on the sofa and looked sideways at Simon, and reached out to tick the newspapers in front of him, tentatively saying, "Depressed?"

Simon shook his head and said: "Of course not, but, probably, there is indeed some anxiety."

"I think I'd feel overwhelmed if a little guy was about to be born suddenly in my stomach." Sandra nodded understandingly, then looked at Simon and said, "What about you?"

"What's wrong with me?"

"Your son is about to be born, and you're only, um, 23?"

"A lot of people become parents at the age of 16."

"That's someone else, you're different."

Simon said helplessly: "Do you want me to be depressed?"

Sandra had a gloating expression on her face, still staring at Simon, and said with a smile: "It seems that your heart is not as easy as it seems."

Simon changed the subject: "How about you, have you found a girlfriend?"

Quietly, Jennifer next to her was stunned and looked over curiously.

Sandra was really distracted, raised her hand and hit Simon: "Why don't you find a boyfriend, my sexual orientation is normal."

"Okay, so..."

Sandra rolled her eyes at Simon and said, "I found it. When will you meet, the boss will give you a chance."

Simon immediately shook his head: "Don't, don't let me see it, I'm afraid I can't help suppressing it and make him feel ashamed and take the initiative to leave you."

"So, man," Sandra sighed and looked at Jennifer for resonance: "Are you right, Jenny."

The female assistant nodded: "Yes."

Simon pretended to look at it dissatisfiedly: "What are you doing, don't pretend to understand if you don't understand."

The female assistant glared over gently and retorted, "Understood, men are greedy bastards."

"..."

"Ha ha……"

Chatting and laughing all the way, the Boeing 767 landed at San Francisco San Jose Airport in less than 40 minutes after a journey of more than 500 kilometers.

Finally arrived at the San Francisco Municipal Auditorium where the new product launch was held, and there were more than 20 minutes before the launch.

With AOL and Cisco

As the most important part of the Internet industry layout of the Westeros company, Igreat has also attracted more and more attention from the industry.

Therefore, not only the local media in North America, but also the media from overseas countries flocked to this conference. Counting other guests, more than 2,000 people attended the conference.

Simon greeted several executives from Igret, and only had time to say hello to important guests in the industry, such as Bill Gates and John Sculley, who came to join us this time, and the press conference was about to start.

After careful planning and preparation in the early stage, although this press conference is mainly about ypay and ystore, since it has attracted a lot of media attention, the management of Igreet will take advantage of the situation to make this conference Igreet. A comprehensive presentation of the company.

At ten o'clock, the press conference officially started.

Tim Berners-Lee, as the ceo of Igret Corporation, although his power has been basically overridden by two powerful subordinates, Jeff Bezos and Carol Bartz, he still takes the lead as the main person in charge. He delivered a speech and briefly introduced the development history of Igreat in recent years and the current situation and prospects of the entire Internet industry.

Afterwards, Carol Bartz came to the stage for the second time, focusing on promoting Ygrit's yws products.

yws is the abbreviation of ygritte web service (Ygritte web service), and Simon's name is modeled after the aws (Amazon web service) in his memory.

Of course, the biggest difference between the two at this stage is that yws still provides traditional cyberspace hosting and leasing services, and cloud computing technology is still under development.

However, compared with other competitors in the same industry, yws has obvious advantages.

Ygrit's yws also includes one-stop website solutions and other services that most website creators need at this stage.

Different from the period when the Internet industry has been very mature many years later, at this stage, there is still a big shortage of talents in the Internet industry. The fool-like network solution provided by yws can save many companies or individuals who want to test the Internet. key technical hurdles.

Of course, there are limits to this fool-proof web service.

If you are not proficient in a certain technology, but only rely on 'assembly', just like the cottage products in Simon's memory, it is destined to be difficult to grow.

To develop further, Internet companies must have their own talent and technical teams.

However, these are all things later.

The most important thing for the Internet at this stage is to enrich the Internet or, more accurately, the content resources of the World Wide Web platform at the fastest speed.

This is equivalent to letting a person eat before they can pursue a more refined life.

In order to achieve this purpose, in the first half of the year, Igreit has successively built four new data centers across the United States.

Moreover, once the cloud computing technology is put into use next year, the existing computing power of these data centers will be released to the greatest extent. At that time, it will take advantage of the advantages of the first opportunity, technology, cost, etc. business adversary.

Although it involves relatively low-level technical topics, none of the guests who participated in the conference today are rookies.

Igreit's cloud computing project "Housewife Project" is still being kept under wraps. However, many guests at the scene have already felt Igreat's strong ambitions according to Carol Bartz's recommendation.

As the Internet industry has stepped into the fast lane, everyone can experience the explosive growth of Internet sites, and many companies have begun to invest in server hosting leasing and other related businesses.

With a series of core patents of World Wide Web technology, Igreit has too many advantages that even a giant like IBM can't match.

In order to avoid the dominance of Intel, Microsoft and other affiliated companies, ibm can also force these companies to authorize patents. Now, as an emerging industry of the Internet, Igret is a unique giant, so no one can force Iraq. Gretel made a concession he didn't want.

Half an hour later, with warm applause, Carol Bartz completed his presentation.

Then, Tim Berners-Lee took the stage again.

This technical executive is responsible for introducing some new products and new functions of the Igreit Portal. In fact, many of them have been officially launched. However, today, there are countless media gatherings. Of course, we must make use of it as much as possible to expand Influence.

Well-prepared in advance and a direct-to-user product, Tim Berners-Lee's introduction also ended in Jensen.

After Tim Berners-Lee, they are still not the two new heavyweights.

This time, an executive from the PC giant Compaq came to the stage to introduce its own personal computer specially customized for the Internet platform.

In fact, I also considered letting the C girl come to the stage to promote icam. However, this card camera product has been in the limelight for a few months. The most difficult problem facing Tinkerbell now is to solve the market demand soaring. A series of problems in supply chain, technology research and development and product capacity have come up.

Traditional electronics giants have shown too many advantages in this regard.

Whether it is Japan's Sony and Panasonic manufacturers or domestic electronics companies in the United States, they have all set up projects or released their own Internet camera products in recent months. Traditional giants have their own complete parts supply chains and product processing plants, which can easily satisfy Market demand.

Japan's Panasonic has also made a test, hoping to invest in Tinkerbell.

It is conceivable that if he accepts the investment from Panasonic, many of the problems faced by Tinkerbell at this time will be solved.

However, neither Simon nor C-girl ever thought of making Tinkerbell a subsidiary of Panasonic, and Panasonic would not be willing to acquire only a small amount of stock without decision-making power, so the two sides did not reach an agreement.

Of course, because it is a new type of product, although traditional giants have begun to invest, but because of the size of the market, it is impossible to be as focused as Tincober, who only focuses on this product at the moment. For example, the traditional American camera giant Kodak, this company The company launched digital cameras earlier than Japanese manufacturers, but perhaps feeling the threat of compact cameras to traditional film cameras, in order to safeguard its own interests in the film industry, Kodak did not follow suit this time.

In Simon's memory, Kodak really refused to embrace the trend of digital cameras because of its own interests in the film industry, and eventually went bankrupt.

Therefore, Tinkerbell actually has enough advantages.

It has been more than an hour since Compaq introduced its "Internet Computer".

Sandra and Jay Leno, the talk show host invited by the Igret team today, took the stage together and activated the atmosphere in the auditorium through a series of jokes, and the final heavyweight link finally arrived.

The first thing that appeared on the big screen in the auditorium was the dictum of the Igret Company, which has been interpreted by countless people but is destined to be understood by no one but Simon.

you know nothing.

Jeff Bezos took the stage and joked a few words around the adage, and the screen flashed, and the interface of the Ygrit app store ystore appeared on the big screen.

For the next half an hour, Jeff Bezos detailed two products, ystore and ypay.

Since you want to "open a store", you must have products that can attract users.

This time, ystore brought all PC games from ea since its establishment in the 1980s to the platform at one time. Because the exclusive agreement signed with Nintendo has not expired, the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" series unfortunately did not appear this time. List of games.

In fact, in order to bring all ea's computer game content to ystore, there were many twists and turns during the period.

ea is a game publisher, and ystore obviously has publisher attributes, which will undoubtedly threaten ea's traditional business. ea executives and other shareholders initially expressed strong opposition, even if many old games have lost their value in the physical market. , logging into ystore is a complete 'waste use', and conservative ea management still doesn't want to do it.

In the end, Daenerys Entertainment forced pressure as the largest shareholder of ea holding 35% of the shares, and this decision was passed.

In order to solve this problem once and for all, Simon also recently instructed Nancy Brill to start one thing that small executives have always wanted to do, and start negotiations to buy ea outright.
