In the short term, that's all for the time being.

Eaglet has completed the construction of two data centers on the east and west coasts that can accommodate 10 users, and internal testing has also been completed. Although it is shabby compared to the large data centers in Simon's memory, it is still enough to cope with the current situation. Internet user access.

In addition, Eaglet has compiled a complete set of World Wide Web technology materials, which will be available for free download on the Eaglet Portal'' and the official websites of some partner universities. The team also plans to publish physical books related to World Wide Web technology as a supplement .

At the same time, a simplified version of the World Wide Web application software for students only will also be released to major universities in North America.

Next, only two companies, America Online and Eaglet, need to work together to fully promote the World Wide Web.

The upcoming May of 1990 is destined to be the beginning of an era in the memory of many people.

Chapter 345 Jeff Bezos (Repair)

Until the Boeing 767 glided and landed on the runway of Los Angeles International Airport, Simon was still thinking about how to create the Eaglet portal news channel.

In the short term, Eaglet can only choose to cooperate with traditional news media.

Simon himself is well aware of the strong impact of Internet information on the traditional print media and TV media industries. If he owns a traditional media platform, he will definitely curb the development of Internet media as much as possible. If he wants to cooperate and share content, he will never even think about it.

However, there are too few Internet users now, and there are only a handful of people who can see the future at a glance.

Some of the contacts that Simon contacted during this period, even Murdoch of News Corporation, expressed that they could provide some content support for the Ygrit portal.

Of course, fees still have to be paid.

The Boeing 767 came to a complete stop on the runway, and the sound of the high-heeled shoes of girls C and D came to my ears. Simon raised his head and happened to catch the eyes of Jennifer on the opposite side looking at him intently, and said with a smile: "Why don't you come with me?" Heading to Malibu for dinner?"

The female assistant tried her best not to look away, but shook her head and said, "It's been a week, if you chase after her, Jenny will go crazy."

Janet had left Los Angeles with Simon the Monday before, Simon had gone north to San Francisco, and the woman had rushed east to New York.However, according to the work arrangement of the two, Janet had already returned to the West Coast on Thursday, and Simon had not seen each other until Sunday. After all, the two had not seen each other for a week.

Simon and Janet were only married in early March and separated for a week in less than two months, which also attracted some media attention.

At breakfast yesterday, the female assistant showed Simon a newspaper reporting that the couple in Westeros were suspected of being separated, but Simon didn't care. He knew that Janet wouldn't care either. It is impossible to live a life of nine to five like ordinary couples.

Moreover, many things can withstand wind and rain but cannot withstand plainness. It is actually beneficial to the relationship between each other to separate occasionally.

Leaving Los Angeles International Airport, arranged for someone to take the female assistant home, and Simon also returned to Malibu with his entourage.

Back at the mansion on the west side of Cape Dumei, it was already dusk.

As soon as she entered the living room of the villa, Janet, who was wearing a long casual dress, greeted her, hugged Simon affectionately, and after letting go of him, she shook two small round marble samples in her hand and said, "Turkish goose feather gold , Indian rainforest coffee, which one do you think is better?"

The villa at Cape Dume Manor has already started renovations. During the phone call yesterday, Janet and Simon discussed what kind of marble should be used for the hall floor of Shell Villa.

Simon looked at the two pieces of marble samples covered with irregular textures in Janet's hands, and knew that the woman was still expressing her dissatisfaction because he had been away for a week.Not to mention the two colors of marble, but the naturally formed irregular texture pattern, if it is really spread under the feet, it will definitely make Simon, who has a tendency of perfectionism and obsessive-compulsive disorder, stand on pins and needles.

Pretending to look at it carefully, Simon stretched his arms around Janet's slender waist again, and said with a smile: "Come take a bath with me first, let's discuss it carefully in the bathtub."

After saying this, before Janet could respond, the woman's lithe body was picked up by Simon and walked upstairs.

Janet grabbed two pieces of marble and patted Simon lightly, then said softly, "Dinner is being prepared in the kitchen, I want to watch."

Simon lowered his head and kissed the woman's lips, and said, "No, I decided to eat you first, and then dinner."

I got home at seven o'clock in the evening and took a 'bath' until after nine o'clock.

The original dinner had gone cold and had to be redone.

It wasn't until ten o'clock in the middle of the night that the two sat at the dining table.

Janet is habitually next to Simon, with a seductive blush on her fair face, chatting about various recent things while eating, and bought a few new dresses herself, Patrick was almost sent away by the old man In South Africa, Cersei Capital has recently recruited a group of people. Is the female assistant too useless in bed to make Simon feel like he has been hungry for a week?

The next day was Monday. Janet didn't plan to go to the east coast this week. Simon had been busy for a week and planned to take a day off. By the way, he had a closer look at the operation of Cersei Capital during this period.

It will soon be May. Since Middle East oil producers such as Saudi Arabia and Kuwait announced their production increase in early March, in less than two months, the international crude oil price has dropped from a high of US$5 a barrel to US$19, a drop of 16%.

Cersei Fund Management, a subsidiary of Cersei Capital, started building short positions a month in advance. After countries such as Saudi Arabia and Kuwait announced production increases, they continued to increase their bets. A total of US$35 billion in hedge funds had invested more than US$21 billion at this time. USD funding.

Under the support of high leverage, short positions with a total value of more than 200 billion US dollars were due to the sharp fluctuations in crude oil prices. As of the last trading day of last Friday, the book profit reached 22.7 billion US dollars.

On the other hand, the plunge in crude oil prices has made Iraq's domestic economy, which is heavily dependent on oil exports, even worse. Saddam Hussein has been putting pressure on Kuwait and other countries for the past two months, and has even expressed the tone of fighting at all costs.

Simon has been paying close attention to various news related to the situation in the Middle East.

The exact time in memory of Iraq's invasion of Kuwait is August 8. Simon plans to start building long positions one month in advance based on the information in memory. It is actually a very risky strategy to establish long positions when the international crude oil price is still in a downward state. Once there is an unexpected change in the situation in the Middle East that does not match Simon's memory, most of the huge book profits earned by Cersei Capital in the early stage may be spit out.

However, just as Cersei Capital started to build short positions before many hedge funds had reacted, high risks can only achieve high returns.

Compared with other hedge funds, with Simon's prophetic advantage, Cersei Capital's chances of winning are much higher. Such a risk is completely worthwhile.

In the study on the second floor of the villa.

Janet sat behind the desk while discussing hedge fund matters with Simon, while flipping through the stack of resumes in front of her, picking up the phone from time to time to communicate with New York.

Simon, on the other hand, sat leisurely on the single sofa by the floor-to-ceiling windows, with a glass of water on the coffee table at hand. After reading Cersei Fund Management's transaction details report last week, he also flipped through a batch brought back from San Francisco yesterday. Technology company executive resumes.

Hanging up a call with New York again, Janet looked at the time, it was approaching noon, she leaned on the leather chair and stretched a little coquettishly, and asked Simon, "Honey, find the right person Yet?"

Simon picked up a resume that was put aside, and said: "A woman, but I think she is only suitable to be in charge of Igret's World Wide Web software business, online products such as portals, and other people need to be in charge."

Janet heard Simon say it was a woman, got up and came to Simon, sat directly in the man's arms, and snatched the establishment look.

Carol Bartz, 42 years old this year, currently serves as the vice president of global operations of SUN, and has 20 years of work experience in computer-related industries.

I roughly read Carol Bartz's information, and finally glanced at the photos to confirm that this is not the type Simon is interested in. Janet said in a professional tone: "I think she is very good, experience and qualifications It is enough, it should be more than enough to manage Ygritte."

In addition to the information in front of him, Simon also knows that Carol Bartz will be in charge of the computer graphics software company Autodesk in the next few years, and will single-handedly build this company into the world's leading computer graphics software group.

In my memory, because of Carol Bartz's outstanding performance during Autodesk, she also served as the CEO of Yahoo from 2009 to 2011, but Yahoo was already in decline at that time. Yahoo carried out a series of powerful reforms, and ultimately failed to escape the fate of being fired by Yahoo's board of directors.

Considering this, Simon said: "Carol Bartz has enough experience and qualifications, so I hope she can be responsible for the sales and operation of the World Wide Web series of software. But the portal website is different from other online businesses. There are no successful cases that can be used for reference in the brand-new fields that people have been involved in. What is needed is innovation and adventure. Carol Bartz’s long-term industry work experience in the past probably made her form a certain fixed thinking mode. Instead, it becomes a bondage."

Janet huddled in Simon's arms like a kitten, listening to the man, said: "If this is the case, it may be difficult to find a suitable person."

"You can definitely find it if you look slowly." Simon was also a little helpless, and said: "What I need is an efficient executor who has not formed a fixed behavior pattern. The business models of technology companies such as IBM and Intel have been integrated into Eaglet’s daily management.”

Janet raised her face to listen to the man's words, blinked her beautiful eyes a few times, and said, "I seem to have seen someone you need just now."

Simon wondered: "Huh?"

"I think what you need is an outsider."

As Janet said, she stood up with a smile on her face, tiptoed to the desk and scratched a few times, pulled out a resume, floated back, leaned back in Simon's arms, handed the resume to the man and said, "Hey."

Simon took the resume and glanced at it, and suddenly felt a little fantastic.

Impressively written on the resume is a very familiar name in Simon's memory: Jeff Bezos.

Janet's slender body was huddled in Simon's arms, not noticing the man's weird expression, she swiped her finger twice on the resume, and said: "This is not bad, he graduated from Princeton University with a major in computer science, and you The major at Stanford was the same. After graduation, I had short internships in technology companies such as Intel and Bell Labs. Now I work in the fund investment department of Bankers Trust. The young vice president of the investment department is very capable. I originally planned to recruit him to Fink's team, but now I will leave it to you."

Janet Barabara said, and finally waved her hands grandly, with a very generous appearance.

Simon lamented how small and wonderful the world is. He put Jeff Bezos' resume aside, picked up the woman's face in his arms, kissed it a few times, and said, "Honey, what do you want for lunch?"

Janet paused, blinked her eyes a few times, twisted her body in the man's arms, and said, "Why don't you eat me?"

This little wish must of course be fulfilled by her.

Simon picked up the woman and left the study, heading for the next bedroom.

Janet was a little surprised. After Simon pushed open the bedroom door and threw her on the big bed, she said, "You really want to eat me. It's noon now?"

Simon unbuttoned his shirt, made a vicious grinning expression, and said, "There's not even a bone left."

Now that he has met Jeff Bezos, Simon will naturally not let it go.

The current Ygritte portal business is a blank sheet of paper. Simon does not need a paintbrush, because he is the paintbrush himself. He needs another piece of blank paper on which he can paint, and then rub the finished work to Igret. Rhett this white paper.

Jeff Bezos is undoubtedly a very suitable blank slate.

Although Jeff Bezos is only 26 years old, this is not a problem.

Simon himself had just turned 22.

What's more, Simon has always believed that before the age of 30, it is the golden age for many people to create a career. In this way, Jeff Bezos' age is just right.

The words are divided into two parts.

Jeff Bezos feels his own recent experience is also a little fantasy.

In the four years after graduating from Princeton University, he quickly opened up his career situation.

Originally, Bezos also received some rumors about Cersei Capital intending to invite him to join.

Compared with the old Bankers Trust, which has a history of nearly a century, Cersei Capital, a fund company that has risen miraculously and rapidly, is indeed very attractive to him.

When Westeros Corporation president James Raybould invited him to lunch, Bezos thought it was an interview with Cersei Capital.

After all, everyone knows that Westeros is the parent company of Cersei Capital, or, the parent company of four 'women': Daenerys, Ygritte, Melisandre, and Cersei.

Then, Bezos unexpectedly discovered that the other party did not invite him to join Cersei, but Ygritte.

What's the situation?

After lunch with James Raybould, he was left with a thick memo.

Jeff Bezos, who was completely confused, read this memo about Simon Westero's various ideas and prospects for Eaglet and the entire Internet industry, and personally collected some of the budding Internet industries. Information, and soon made a decision to join the company.

On the other hand, of course, Simon will not directly hand over the entire Eaglet company to Jeff Bezos. Strictly speaking, Bezos will only be an executor in the short term, and Simon is still the 'paintbrush'.Therefore, Simon also sent an invitation to Carol Bartz at the same time, still intending to let the other party be in charge of the World Wide Web software operation business of Eaglet Company.

After personally communicating with Carol Bartz, he got the understanding of Sun Company, and Carol Bartz soon chose to join Igret.

After some adjustments, Simon personally took charge of the chairman of Igret and took control of the overall situation. Tim Berners-Lee still served as the CEO of Igret, but he was mainly in charge of the company's technology research and development department. Carol Bartz and Jeff Bezos also serves as the president of Eaglet, responsible for the operation of the World Wide Web software and the Eaglet portal respectively.

Chapter 346 Movie City Startup (Revised)

The black Chrysler sedan turned from California Coastal Highway [-] into the widened four-lane entrance of Daenerys Studios in Malibu, and walked along the U-shaped asphalt road to the gate of the studio on the mountainside.

Entering the park, an open parking lot first appears on the left hand side of the main road, extending to the cliff on the south side.

Less than a week after the official opening, the parking lot is already densely packed with vehicles, which shows how busy the studio is.

Destination in the uppermost administrative area, Chrysler walked through the busy studio area, and Hollywood actress Joanna Cassidy in the car looked around curiously.Counting it, at least since her debut in the late 60s, there has never been a large studio of this scale in Hollywood, but many old movie studios have been sold and used for other purposes.

Just this, the young man who created all this in just a few years is hard to be surpassed.

Thinking of Simon Westeros, Joanna Cassidy retracted her thoughts and began to consider her upcoming audition.

Joanna Cassidy came for the role of Queen Hippolyta, Diana Prince's mother in "Wonder Woman."

The casting of the DC movie universe can be described as the most watched thing in Hollywood recently.

According to Hollywood media reports during this period, Daenerys Entertainment first approached Sigourney Weaver for the role.

Sigourney Weaver had just given birth and planned to take a year off. This was not a big problem at first. "Wonder Woman" is scheduled for 1992, and it just so happens that filming will start next year.However, Daenerys Entertainment directly chose to give up because Sigourney Weaver refused to sign multiple film contracts and demanded a high salary and other additional conditions.

Joanna Cassidy has been in the industry for 20 years, and there is no shortage of sources, so she knows that Sigourney Weaver actually wants the role.

A 6-foot-tall actress like Sigourney Weaver, although she has successfully made it to the front line with the "Alien" series and the "Ghostbusters" series over the years, but because of her height, the acting path is actually very narrow. She can only play supporting roles at all times, and her pay has never been high. Even "Alien 2", which was entirely supported by her alone at the global box office a few years ago, only received a pay of US$100 million at that time.

The movie "Wonder Woman" just needs a tall actress. The minimum height standard of the Amazon female warrior released by Daenerys Entertainment needs to be 5 feet 9 inches (175CM), which is perfect for Sigourney. Weaver however.

The success of "Batman: Beginning of War" and the grand vision of the DC movie universe are enough to ensure that even the supporting roles in the series can gain high popularity.

If she gets the role of Queen Hippolyta, Sigourney Weaver can not only stabilize her position in Hollywood in the next few years, but also avoid being caught up by other similar actresses.

However, compared to the past, Hollywood studios will definitely accommodate in various ways as long as first-line stars show their participation in the show. Daenerys Entertainment has shown a kind of casting in the DC movie universe series that is more advanced than that of the big studio era. Be strong.

Sigourney Weaver insisted on not letting go of core conditions such as long-term contracts, and Daenerys Entertainment chose to give up very simply.

Joanna Cassidy can actually roughly understand why Daenerys Entertainment did this.

The development of sequels of many well-known Hollywood films has ended because the main creative contract cannot be negotiated. Some sequel projects that have barely started often lose popularity due to delays for too long, and eventually lead to failure. For such a super-large series involving multiple films, the DC movie universe, if there is a delay because the sequel contracts of some actors cannot be negotiated, the entire movie universe plan will be implicated.

Therefore, the opportunity fell on the second-tier actresses like Joanna Cassidy.

Joanna Cassidy is 45 years old this year. She made her debut in the late 60s. She has also starred in dozens of various types of film and television dramas over the years, but she has never had the opportunity to become popular. Her most famous role is Ridley ·Sora, the snake dancer in Scott's "Blade Runner", she played less than 5 minutes in that movie.

Her agent told her that she was able to get the audition for the role of Queen Hippolyta because some young man admired her for beating Harrison Ford in "Blade Runner."

That's right, that's what Wonder Woman casting director Linda Vargas revealed when she got in touch with her agent.

Linda Vargas was originally just a humble little person in Hollywood, but she was lucky enough to participate in Simon Westero's first film "Run Lola Run". Has been serving as the Queen's casting director for many films in Westeros, and is now very hot in Hollywood.

However, Linda Vargus, who has nothing to say in her dealings with others, is very loyal to Simon Westeros, and those who want to get through with her basically return without success.

This is probably why she became Simon Westeros' queen casting director.

Joanna Cassidy felt that if it was her, she would definitely do the same.
