Since it is a consumer-level card camera, for the sake of cost, many professional camera functions have to be discarded, which will inevitably lead to unsatisfactory image quality.Secondary processing restoration by computer software is indeed an excellent way to make up for the shortcomings of this camera.

However, Miss C quickly said again: "But, boss, this requires extra time and budget."

Simon vaguely remembered that Photoshop software appeared in the last few years.

However, the planned image processing software certainly does not need the complicated functions of PS, and is more inclined to the beautiful pictures in memory and the like.

"You can first ask in Silicon Valley if anyone has developed similar software. If so, you can directly cooperate with the other party, which can save software development time. If not, apply for another budget."

Simon and Claire were chatting, and Deborah on the other side was just worried that Miss C would expose her. Seeing that she was completely ignored at this time, she couldn't help but feel a little bit snacky. She pretended to listen carefully, but she squeezed towards Simon from time to time. .

If you can "raid" your own boss, the potential value can be far more than 1000 million US dollars.

Like Jennifer Raybould.

The lover who was obviously just the boss was treated similarly to the hostess in front of the boss, even more jealous than the hostess, and would often drive them away from the boss mercilessly.

While Simon was talking to Claire, he wanted to take a drink from the cup at hand, but his arm touched the chin of Girl D who was almost touching him.

Of course I understand what the girl is thinking.

He casually picked up Deborah's delicate chin before picking up the water glass.

The skins of the vases around me are good enough, and after joining the company, they enjoy the expensive daily maintenance that ordinary wealthy wives can afford. They can indeed be described as 'exquisite'.

Deborah was caught by Simon's chin, but she shrank subconsciously, her face flushed slightly, but she quickly leaned over calmly.

Simon drank a few sips of water, put down the cup, felt the soft body next to him, smiled, and said, "That's all for tonight, let's all go to rest."

Deborah said, "Boss, do you want to take a shower?"

"I've already washed it."

"It doesn't matter if you wash it again," Deborah said with her eyes rolling, "I'll go and drain the water for you, okay?"

"not good."

Simon stood up as he spoke, and stretched out his hand in front of Miss D with a smile: "Come on, kiss good-bye."

Deborah held Simon's hand cooperatively, kissed the back of the man's hand, and said, "Good night, master."

"So nice."

After a compliment, Simon turned and left the computer room.

Seeing the disappearance of her boss, Miss D looked back, noticed that Miss C was staring at her, and raised her chin slightly: "What's wrong?"

Miss C curled her lips and commented: "Troubleshooting."

Girl D didn't take it seriously, she didn't even hide it, and said: "If you can climb into the boss's bed, it will be more useful than you can do a hundred projects."

"Did you climb it?"

"Aren't you still working hard?" Girl D said, and then complained: "If you were together just now, maybe we would have succeeded."

Claire didn't have any dislike for Deborah's ridiculous suggestion. In fact, it's not like she hasn't tried it before, but she just said, "And then?"

"What then?"

"After climbing into the boss' bed."

Deborah tilted her head.

Yes.

This is indeed a very serious question.

As they worked beside Simon, they also came into contact with a lot of anecdotes from the upper circles.

There are countless cases of nanny counterattacking and becoming a hostess. For example, Robin Williams, who has become popular in recent years, had an affair with the nanny at home, and then abandoned his first wife who had been together for ten years. It is said that C flower It took a lot of effort not to damage Robin Williams' public image too much.

just.

Deborah realized that it seemed that it was not so difficult to compete with Janet for the position.

Even if Janet is squeezed out, there is still a Jennifer.

The best state is to be his lover.

Thinking of this, girl D held her chin and couldn't help but muttered: "Actually, it's just the life of a maid now. I want to go on like this forever. It seems pretty good to be the boss' lover."

Claire rolled her eyes, turned off the computer, put away her files, and walked out.

Deborah got up and followed step by step, saying, "Oh, Claire, am I wrong?"

"Correct."

"So, let's work hard together. For an outstanding man like the boss, it is definitely not enough to have only two or three lovers around him. We still have many opportunities."

"You climb into the boss's bed first."

"How about we go directly to the master bedroom."

"go alone."

"My own success rate is too low, so it's more attractive to be together. Well, isn't it the boss's birthday soon? We can say that we came to give birthday presents."

"..."

Claire simply ignored the thoughts around her.

After staying with Simon for a long time, Claire has gradually figured out the temper of her boss.

For example, the boss actually doesn't like a beautiful vase with a pair of exquisite skins empty at all. Putting them around is more for pleasing to the eye and does not have much physical desire.

However, although the four ABCD girls are relatively close, Claire absolutely does not intend to share these little private insights with the others.

In the next few days, Simon simply sorted out a memorandum on building a PC peripheral hardware ecosystem through a new data interface and submitted it to Eaglet, and asked Bezos and Bartz to start looking for relevant technical talents.

The delivery integration of MCA is also proceeding in an orderly manner.

In a blink of an eye, it will be February 2.

It happened to be Friday.

Compared with Simon's 20th birthday party, this birthday party was much more low-key.

Of course, with Simon's wealth and power now more and more different from the past, although he wants to keep a low profile as much as possible, this birthday party still attracts much attention.

Simon didn't mean to open Cape Dume Manor. The birthday party venue was chosen as the mansion on the hillside of Palisades just like the one when he was 20 years old.

Such a decision disappointed many guests attending the party. The villa occupying Cape Dume has been the object of envy and discussion by many people since it took shape.Still, that disappointment seems insignificant when you consider those who have tried so hard to get a birthday party invitation and couldn't get it.

Party time is seven o'clock in the evening.

Before six o'clock in the afternoon, many guests had gathered from all over Los Angeles to the hillside of Palisades, the western suburb of Los Angeles.

Chapter 404 Get Your Wish (Revised)

As an important part of American daily life, Los Angeles has never been short of various parties, nor is it short of 'party creatures' who attend one or two hundred parties every year.

Simon Westeros' 23rd birthday party was, of all these parties, both special and not so special.

In the mansion on the hillside of Palisades, the birthday party on the evening of February 2 was carefully prepared. Some people expanded their contacts, some gained bragging rights, and Simon himself got a gift that could be unwrapped for the entire weekend. The host and guest enjoyed themselves.

After the birthday party, the public relations of the Hollywood awards season also entered the final sprint.

Because of the Gulf War, this year's 61st Academy Awards ceremony was scheduled for a later date, March 3.

Daenerys Entertainment's main award-winning work "Dances with Wolves" this year has been in full swing since its release on November 11 last year. After winning important awards at the Golden Globes in January, the recent Various trade union awards and Film Critics Association awards also killed the Quartet.

Among the list of Oscar nominations that have already been announced, "Dances with Wolves" has also become the film with the most nominations in the 12st Oscar with a total of 61 nominations.

However, the most eye-catching point is the box office of this film.

From November 11nd to February 2st before Simon's birthday, it was released for 2 weeks. "Dances with Wolves" did not have any potential box office dark horse at the beginning. It has accumulated a North American box office of 21 million U.S. dollars, becoming the third work produced by Daenerys Entertainment at the end of last year to break the 16 million box office in North America.

Looking back on the entire year of 1990, among the films produced by Daenerys Entertainment, the films with a box office of more than [-] million in North America include "Pretty Woman", "Ghost Love", "Sleeping with the Enemy", "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", " Seven Dances with Wolves, League of Pink and Home Alone.

Seven films, all squeezed into the top ten of the North American box office list in 1990.Among them, "Home Alone", "Ghost Love", "Pretty Woman" and "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" independently released by Daenerys Entertainment also firmly occupied the top four positions in the annual box office list.

With the strong box office momentum of "Dances with Wolves", the total box office of this film in North America is almost destined to squeeze out the Paramount film "The Hunt for Red October", which is temporarily ranked No. 5, making Daenerys Entertainment's The film completely occupied the top five positions on the 1990 box office list.

此外，截止1990年12月31日，只是这7部北美票房破亿影片的累计本土票房总和就达到了9.1亿美元。相当于1991年全年52.6亿美元北美总票房的17%。

和丹妮莉丝娱乐相关的《玉米田的小孩2》、《猛鬼追魂3》、《晃动摇篮的手》、《危情十日》等其他十多部影片，北美总票房累计同样达到3.5亿美元，占据1991年北美票房份额的6%。

Combining the two phases, the films produced by Daenerys Entertainment last year accounted for 23% of the total box office share in North America.

Moreover, this does not count the box office of "Home Alone" and other films in 1991, so it is not rigorous.

According to this calculation method, in fact, the 1990 box office of "Flying Childhood", "Batman: Begins War" and "Driving Miss Daisy" at the end of the previous year should also be included in the calculation.

Once this is the case, the proportion of box office controlled by Daenerys Entertainment will easily exceed 30%.

As Daenerys Entertainment and MCA shareholders officially completed the equity transfer at the end of February, in 2, as long as the films produced by Daenerys Entertainment can continue to maintain the box office momentum of the previous two years, this company can definitely divide and control the share of the North American box office. More than 1991%.

This possibility is actually very large.

Because, while other studios are still releasing 'warmers' for the 1991 box office, Daenerys Entertainment's first box office hit of the year has already emerged.

"Fighting Wits", which started drawing on February 2, was released on February 8, and within three weeks of its release, the North American box office quickly reached 2 million US dollars.Moreover, compared with the second week, the box office of this film dropped by only 28% in the third week, and the long-term trend is very obvious.

The cumulative box office in three weeks is close to 5000 million US dollars, coupled with such an obvious long-term trend, it is almost certain that the North American box office of "Fighting Wits" will exceed [-] million.

Also on February 2, as the multinational forces officially stopped attacking the Iraqi army, the 28-day Gulf War officially ended.

This war has made many countries see the major trend of modern warfare from mechanization to informationization. In future wars, crowd tactics are destined to be difficult to play a role.The almost negligible role played by the Soviet Union in this important regional war further indicates that the collapse of this red empire is getting closer.

On March 3, the second day after the Gulf War was declared over, North American stock markets rose sharply across the board, with the Dow Jones Index and the S&P 1 Index all rising by more than 500%.

Many people thought that a protracted war ended so quickly. The United States, which received a large amount of military expenditure from European and Middle Eastern countries before the war, undoubtedly became the biggest winner of this war.

It is not just that the devastation of the war has caused the U.S. stock market to continue to rebound in the past month or so, but the direct war benefits obtained from the military spending of various countries have reached 190 billion US dollars, which has largely alleviated the growing fiscal deficit in the United States.

The Bush administration has earned enough political achievements and benefits through this war, and its domestic support rate has been rising steadily.

However, Simon knew that the recovery of the North American stock market did not mean the recovery of the US economy. The federal economic downturn would continue throughout 1991, which also paved the way for the Bush administration's defeat in the new presidential election in 1992.

The expansion of the Westeros system has not been affected by the economic downturn in the United States at all.

As for America Online, as of the end of February, the free trial periods for Internet access users in January have all ended one after another.

1月份接入的81万免费试用用户中，最终转为正式用户的数字超过43万，转正比例达到53%，远远超过美国在线最初20%到30%的预期。

Throughout February, the number of AOL free trial reservation users dropped sharply to 2 million compared with 1 million in January, but the number of trial users who successfully completed access increased to 230, basically reaching one million users per month. The goal.

The number of users queuing up for a free trial exceeds 200 million.

The major telecommunications operators in the United States, except AT&T, which is still a huge giant after being split, and companies such as Seven Little Bell, basically have the number of users in the tens of millions.

With such an obvious explosive trend in the Internet industry, major operators dare not underestimate it.

In addition to the three regional telecom operators such as Bell Atlantic that signed an exclusive agreement with AOL, other telecom giants, including AT&T, have begun to rapidly deploy the Internet industry in the past two months, or simply acquired companies in their own operating areas. A World Wide Web access service company authorized by Eagletec, or authorized by Eagletec to establish its own Internet access service department.

Because of the industry trend brought about by the outbreak of the Internet industry, the advantage of Simon buying Bell Atlantic in advance has become more and more obvious.

If it weren't for the fact that the Westeros system has already mastered Bell Atlantic, the most powerful of the three regional operators, driven by the huge interests of the explosion of the Internet industry, even with the constraints of exclusive contracts, if the three regional operator giants simultaneously impose on AOL Pressure, AOL must have to make a big compromise.

Now, Bell Atlantic is firmly on the side of AOL, and the other two companies happen to be distributed on the east and west coasts of the United States, so it is difficult to unite together, so AOL can continue to maintain its advantage in the exclusive agreement.

In comparison, most of the Internet service providers in other regions had to accept the "recruitment" of the operator giants, and basically all quickly fell into the fate of being acquired.Otherwise, they can only be crushed by the giant operators who want to occupy the ISP business and cut off the line network resources.

With the outbreak of the Internet industry, Eaglet's high degree of monopoly on World Wide Web technology has gradually attracted the attention of major manufacturers.

Of course, it's just a matter of attention for the time being.

Because Eaglet maintains a very open authorization attitude, and Eaglet has lost more than 1 million US dollars in January, and its business prospects are far inferior to the ISP business, so Eaglet has a strong view on the graphical interface browsing The monopoly of servers and the various services of the Igret Portal have not attracted the coveted attention of other telecommunications companies.

That's right, under the stance of sparing no effort to expand, Eaglet was only in the first month of 1991. Although the revenue figure exceeded 1500 million U.S. dollars, the overall loss exceeded 5000 million U.S. dollars.

In order to increase the popularity of the portal business in the hearts of the general public as soon as possible, Eaglet has invested 2000 million US dollars in marketing expenses in the past month.

Each information section of the portal has tapped a large number of news talents and columnists from traditional paper media platforms to build Eaglet's content team, and the investment is also huge.Coupled with e-mail services, social networking services, online game investment, and Igret’s own increasing technology research and development expenditures and infrastructure expenditures, it finally created the company’s "pioneering" loss of 5000 million US dollars in just one month. .

Of course, this speed of burning money is actually just a small scene in Simon's view. There are not no Internet companies that burn billions of dollars a year.The funds that Eaglet burns now are definitely much greater than the returns that Simon remembers from burning money in the Red Sea market of the Internet industry.

As the entire new technology field begins to pay attention to the Internet industry, Eaglet, which has accumulated a large number of technical patents and software products in the early stage, with the increasing demand of various operators for IE browser software, World Wide Web tool software and portal website advertising Rapidly increasing, Eaglet's 1991 revenue data growth will also accelerate.

As long as the current growth rate of performance can be maintained, Eaglet's annual loss in 1991 is very likely to be controlled within 5 million US dollars, which is far from exceeding Simon's tolerance limit.

Under the trend of rapid user growth for two consecutive months, in the face of AOL’s continuous IPO rumors, various investment banks on Wall Street have all valued this new technology company at more than US$10 billion. Morgan Stanley’s Analysts even gave a valuation of $20 billion.

It is conceivable that after completing the 3-month free trial plan, AOL's IPO valuation will definitely increase again.
