Also don't want to waste too much time at Apple.

Coincidentally, Eaglet's team also successfully found a solution similar to the USB interface.

Simon doesn't have much memory of this, but it's almost certain that this is the USB interface scheme he remembers.

The solution came from an Indian-born hardware engineer named Ajay Bhat under Intel. The engineer submitted his plan to Intel's senior management two years ago, and wanted to develop a new serial interface and parallel interface interface. The application is more extensive and convenient, and it is also a plug-and-play data transmission interface.

It's just that three consecutive revisions have been submitted in two years, but none of Ajay Batt's proposals has been approved. The engineer has been working in Intel's processor chip team before.

Information within Silicon Valley is very open.

The popularity of the World Wide Web has further accelerated the exchange of information within Silicon Valley.

After Simon put forward his idea, Igret released the rumor of looking for a similar plan or talent, and Ajay Bart quickly contacted here.

Igret, which has quickly become a rookie in Silicon Valley, is the same as America Online and Cisco and other star technology companies in the Westeros system. Its every move in the past year or so has attracted much attention.

Therefore, it is not surprising that this incident alarmed Intel's top management.

Ajay Bart's data interface solution, which no one cares about for two consecutive years, immediately attracted the attention of many people.

Building a hardware ecosystem around personal computers is not the focus of Igret's business. Westeros is still the largest shareholder with 15% of Intel's shares. Now that Intel has paid attention to it, Simon has not insisted on poaching. Then he also took the initiative to pull Microsoft in.

The promotion of USB interface requires the joint efforts of hardware level, operating system and peripheral manufacturers.

Intel is responsible for the hardware, Microsoft is responsible for the software, and Igret or Westeros focus on the development of peripheral hardware systems such as digital cameras, U disks, and MP3 players.

The three companies work together to achieve the purpose of promoting USB.

Therefore, just recently, the 'Universal Serial Bus (Universal Serial Bus)' project team jointly participated by the three companies was formally established. hold.

Because of sufficient budget and technical platform support such as hardware systems and operating systems, the development cycle of USB is expected to be one to two years. The first stage of peripheral hardware ecological promotion goals will be mainly for the mouse and keyboard that are indispensable for personal computers. Two major peripheral equipment.

Westeros will also invest in the development of peripheral hardware products such as USB interface versions of digital cameras and U disks.

Simon quietly read the information about the USB project, put down the folder, and found that the woman in his arms squinted slightly, with a rosy face, and looked almost asleep.

Just as she put the woman on the desk with a smirk, Sophia woke up and pushed the man's hand that wanted to untie her clothes: "It's getting late, I have to go home and have dinner with the children."

Simon pretended to be dissatisfied and said, "Then what should I do?"

Seeing that Simon didn't mean to force it, Sophia held the man's hand and pressed it on her chest, saying, "I'll come back after dinner, um, after the children fall asleep."

Simon smiled and said, "Why don't I go there? I really want to try the night attack."

Sophia rolled her charming eyes and patted the back of Simon's hand. The two of them stood behind the desk and maintained some charming and ambiguous postures, but they didn't do anything else.Sophia was not in a hurry to escape, her calf was still rubbing against the man's leg, and she changed the subject and said, "By the way, I have found some people about the detective team."

"The German Stasi?"

Sophia nodded: "About a dozen people have been contacted, and some of them are quite high-level. I recently compiled a piece of information for you. Or, if you want to see it for yourself, I will let them come to the United States?"

Simon thought for a while and said, "Not for now, you arrange some things to see their abilities first."

Sophia nodded and said: "I plan to let them be in charge of the background investigation of your butler and maid team in Europe. It is a kind of test. In addition, I have recently visited some major universities in Europe and found many very powerful girls. According to your thinking, maybe a large number of female multimillionaires and billionaires can really be created. Thinking about it is indeed a very fulfilling thing. In this world, most people always look down on women.”

第411章 A Hearst(修)

In just a few short encounters, both Simon and Janet can realize that Sophia's daughter Gemma is definitely the kind of girl who is full of aura and very lovable.

After transferring from Switzerland to the east coast of the United States, the little girl met a large group of friends in the school in just over half a year.

Sophia chose the private school for little Gemma. There are only a dozen children in a class, and these little guys were mainly invited to the birthday party.

However, Little Gemma, who has a wide range of friends, personally identified more invitees. In the end, there were more than 30 people just for the children, and with the accompanying parents, the number immediately approached a hundred. This is why Sophia had to borrow Simon The couple's estate hosted a birthday party for sake.

When it was dark, the manor in the northern suburbs of Greenwich was decorated with lanterns, toys, dolls and balloons into a dreamy scene like a children's paradise. Even the maid team led by Alice put on warm colors. Cartoon costumes.

The party had the same theme as that of tonight's upcoming documentary, 'Frozen', and the costumes were all about it.

On the lawn outside the main villa, a movie screen was erected to play the documentary that was Janet's birthday present to little Gemma.

As the children continued to arrive, the manor became more and more lively.

As the most famous wealthy area on the East Coast, Greenwich is home to numerous wealthy businessmen, politicians, and celebrities. Those at the top of the pyramid who often rush to Manhattan on weekdays naturally have more sensitive channels of information.

Sophia is a high-ranking member of the Westeros system. Melisandre is in charge of one of the "four women" of the Westeros company. The manor where the birthday party is held not only belongs to Westeros, but a certain young man happened Still on the east coast.

So, for carefree kids, this party is all about having fun.But for the parents of the kids, it's clearly a very rare opportunity to get in touch with Westeros.

Patiently playing with the children with a group of mothers, looking up inadvertently, seeing Simon on the other side socializing with the men, Sofia once again felt a sense of satisfaction in her heart.

Probably after tonight, everyone will know that she is the lover of Simon Westeros.

And it's a real lover, not the kind of dewy marriage that only lasts for a few nights.

But what about this?

Lovers are also graded.

In this world, how many people can be as dazzling as him?

And how many women can find a lover who is willing to show up to a child's birthday party like a hostess?

Perhaps the noble ladies around her who greeted her with smiles at this time would chew a few words in private.

However, judging from the unconcealable fluctuations in the eyes of some who occasionally looked at the young man's figure, most of these exquisite women were actually only vassals of powerful men, and they could only be envious and jealous in their hearts.

With these occasional distractions, Sophia quickly returned her attention to the children.

Two children are the most important thing to her.

Games, romps, candle blowing, birthday songs, good food, and finally the turn of Frozen World, which a large group of little ones were obviously looking forward to because of the theme of the party tonight.

In order to match the patience of the children, the 90-minute version that is about to enter the theater was cut to only 50 minutes, and more of the penguin shots that children like very much.

When the lights in the courtyard dimmed, a group of little ones nestled in the arms of their mothers on the lawn turned their attention to the big screen.

The men had been socializing for more than an hour, and at this time they were standing or sitting on the outside, and some men simply walked over to sit with their wives and children.

When Morgan Freeman played a voice that could calm people's hearts, the surroundings were completely quiet.

At a dining table at the edge of the crowd, seeing Sofia approaching, several men who were still chatting with Simon walked away tactfully.

Seeing Sophia sitting next to him, Simon looked around the crowd with a smile and asked, "Why don't you accompany the child?"

"The two of them are watching movies, and they don't need to be with them all the time."

Sophia spoke softly.

Saying so, he still slapped Simon, showing no shyness at all.

Simon just smiled, smelling the fragrance of the woman beside him, took a sip of the juice in front of him, and turned his attention to the big screen.

Sophia didn't deliberately find any topics, but just sat with the man and watched the big screen, and occasionally asked a few questions like Little Gemma, and Simon answered casually.

However, this warm atmosphere did not last long.

There were still some people walking towards this side in the crowd, but they were a pair of mother and daughter.

Simon waited for them to enter, looked at the little girl who was looking at him with bright eyes, smiled and greeted the woman holding the child's little hand: "Ms. Hurst, what's the matter?"

When little Gemma invited the guests, she was only a child at heart, but Sophia compiled a list of tonight's guests in advance for Simon.

With Simon's current wealth and status, of course, he doesn't need to take the initiative to make friends with anyone.However, it is Greenwich after all, and there are still many people worth getting acquainted with.

When he first saw the guest list, Simon noticed a very familiar name: Lydia Hearst.

Just by listening to the surname you know what the name means.

The last time about ESPN's equity, the Simon and Hurst families had some quarrels.But of course he wouldn't take his anger out on a child.

Moreover, Simon also knows that the Hearst family is currently in power with the branch of William Hearst's second son.

Lydia Hearst's maternal grandfather was Randolph Hearst, the fourth of William Hearst's six children.Although Randolph Hearst also owns a large amount of equity in the Hearst Group and has a rich net worth, it does not have much real power in the entire Hearst media empire.

Patty Hester took her daughter and sat down on the other side of Simon, and said, "Lydia wants to get to know you, Simon, she admires you very much."

"Oh, it's really my honor," Simon said, reaching out to the beautiful little girl like a doll: "Hello, Miss Hurst."

In theory, Lydia Hearst should have followed her father's last name.

But tonight's party didn't even show up because of the Hearst family's illustrious pedigree, and the fact that Patty Hearst married a somewhat lesser-known husband after the events of the '70s.The little girl in front of her also inherited her mother's surname.

Lydia Hearst, who is also only seven or eight years old now, has already shown signs of a beauty embryo just as Simon remembered her when she was an adult.

The little girl was not stage-frightened either. She looked at Simon curiously with her beautiful eyes, and said politely, "Mr. Westeros, can I participate in your movie?"

Instead of responding directly, Simon asked, "Have you seen my movie?"

The little girl nodded: "I've seen, um, "Run Lola", "Death Comes", and, um, "Pulp Fiction."

Simon couldn't help but glanced at the woman behind the little girl.

These movies should not be for seven or eight year olds to watch, right?

Lydia Hearst noticed Simon's gaze, turned her head to look at her mother as well, then looked at Simon again, and said, "Mom is also your fan."

Hearing her daughter mentioning herself suddenly, and seeing the young man looking over, Patti Hearst seemed to have some shyness flashing across her face, but she didn't refute. She nodded slightly and said, "I prefer "Vulgar Fiction"."

Simon couldn't help but think of the experience of the woman in front of him again.

In the 70s, Patty Hearst was kidnapped by a terrorist organization, causing a sensation throughout the United States.

Then, what was even more sensational was that the proud daughter of the Hearst family, after being kidnapped for a while, suddenly released a video, announcing that she had joined that terrorist organization.

Later, he really "practiced" and participated in many armed robberies in a row.

After a series of arrests and a lengthy trial, Patty Hearst was sentenced to 35 years in prison.

Even if Randolph Hearst does not have much real power within the Hearst family, it is impossible for the children of the Hearst family to really spend 35 years in prison.

After only a short period of time in prison, President Carter, who has always been known for his fairness and integrity, made an exception and signed an amnesty for Patty Hearst, and Patty Hearst was quickly released from prison on bail.

In order to avoid moral accusations from public opinion, the Hearst family also purposely created momentum in the media, making the 'Stockholm Syndrome', which has always been controversial in the field of psychology, be thoroughly characterized and become a well-known psychological phenomenon.

At this moment, hearing Patty Hearst say that he likes "Pulp Fiction", Simon felt that the crazy gene in this woman's bones was probably already deeply ingrained.

"Mister Westeros?"

The crisp child's voice interrupted Simon's thoughts.

Noticing that Lydia was still looking at him, obviously waiting for the answer to the question just now, Simon no longer paid attention to a woman who might still be 'about to move' deep in his heart, looked at the little girl with a smile, and said: "Lydia, you You can call me Simon."

"So, Simon, can I be in your movie?"

Simon shook his head and said with a smile: "Not now, I won't direct a movie myself for a long time."

The little girl was disappointed immediately, looked at her mother pitifully, then turned her head to look at Simon pitifully.

Ok.

This little look is too lethal.

Moreover, for some reason, Simon felt that the little guy's expression might be faked.

Recalling the appearance of the little girl when she grew up, compared with the present, if there is a word to describe it, Simon feels that there is a very appropriate word: little witch.

Because, when the little girl is not talking, her mouth will appear very small, and with those big eyes, she definitely belongs to the level of a doll that makes people want to reach out and pinch.However, once he opens his mouth, especially when he smiles, his mouth will form a straight grin, his teeth will be exposed, and he will look evil.

Moreover, Simon can be sure that this is not an illusion.

From fragmentary memory, Simon discovered that when Lydia Hearst grew up, she would often act in some very serious B-movies as if playing for a ticket, and she was often the type who died miserably.

There seems to be a movie, Simon can't remember the name, the movie probably tells a story similar to Resident Evil, people infected with the virus will fester like walking dead.Lydia Hearst played one of the walking corpses, who was chopped on the head by an ax, and his whole body was horrible, but he was still tirelessly chasing after the male protagonist.

Thinking about it now, and glancing at Patty Hearst again, Simon inexplicably had a feeling that like a mother, like a daughter.

Right now, I find myself pretending to be pitiful, and Simon Westero doesn't even plan to make a movie. How can this be okay?

The little girl felt that she should work harder, so she stretched out her small hand and grabbed Simon's big hand and shook it gently, acting skillfully like a baby.

However, Simon, who happened to turn his attention to Lydia Hearst, this time keenly caught the slyness in the little girl's eyes.

"So," Simon said with a smile, "Although I don't have any plans to make a movie yet, my company has a lot of movies that can provide you with roles. Do you want to act?"

The little girl blinked and asked, "What movie?"

Simon thought for a while and said, "How about the sequel to Home Alone?"

The little girl immediately showed a disinterested expression, and the pitiful look just now disappeared without a trace. She shook her head and said, "It's so boring, it's something for children to see."

Hearing the little girl's words, the three adults couldn't help laughing.

Simon smiled and said, "The problem is, Lydia, you are still a child now."
