Remember in one second [End of the God Station] Mobile phone user input address: m.xinwanben.com

When he came to the computer room in the villa, Simon picked a computer with a moderate configuration and turned it on, and put the icam floppy disk into the floppy drive.

Girl C sat down next to her and said, "I have built the official website of Tinkerbell, where you can download a simplified version of photoshop software for image browsing and processing."

In front of Simon is a Compaq computer with Windows 3.0 system. Except for the simplest self-contained drawing software, there is no special picture browsing tool.

In fact, many features that have become commonplace later on are not available on the current Windows operating system.

Like the 'Start' button.

Simon once thought about whether to make a 'start' button software in advance and sell it to the gate classmates and then exchange some Microsoft stock, thinking about it or not.

It already holds 20% of Microsoft's shares, which is basically its own company. After all, plug-in tool software and system integration functions are different, and doing so may interfere with the overall architecture of the Windows operating system, which is not worth the loss.

Asked for tinkerbell's website address, Simon quickly downloaded and installed the simple version of photoshop, and opened the floppy disk of the photos he had just taken at the gym.

In addition to image browsing, this simple version of photoshop also provides basic functions such as image cropping, brightness adjustment, and adding text. It is similar to the functions that come with smartphones in Simon's memory, but there are no further types of beautification filters for the time being.

The 100,000-pixel 320*320 resolution picture occupies roughly a quarter of the layout on the 17-inch 800*600 resolution monitor that Simon is using.

According to Simon's posterity standards, both the display and the picture are rough.

However, just posting pictures on the Igret blog, the current computer configuration is more than enough, and the image quality is not bad.

Although Simon has invited a large number of celebrities to the Igret blog, he does not have a verified personal account.

Of course, there are definitely small ones.

Logging in to his vest on Igret's blog, Simon was about to try to send a picture, thinking that it was a picture of C girl, and realizing it was not right, he directly used a paint bucket to completely blacken the picture, and knocked one in the center. Big 'dark' word, then upload.

An inexplicable blog post soon appeared on the vest account.

Claire next to him just found it funny.

The name of the boss vest turned out to be 'psychicsimon'.

The personal profile also states that he undertakes various psychic and ghost hunting tasks, and charges $1,000 each time, so please don't bother.

Looking down, the blog posts in the past were basically all kinds of content related to ghosts and spirits, and they looked very professional.

Simon did not explain that this account was a play ticket created by himself and Janet. In private, Janet was making fun of it, and he even teased the guy who actually sent a private message to consult.

After posting the blog post, Simon didn't care that Lady C found this trivial matter, but said: "The effect is not bad, you should have found it too, the content of the picture will be one of the key areas of operation of the Ygritte portal next. 1. In fact, the photo album function can be opened at any time on the Igret blog, but it is not implemented temporarily because of the lack of content sources. So, c, what are you going to do next?"

Claire retracted her thoughts on Simon's blog vest, saying: "The first batch of 1,000 cameras I intend to use mainly to collect user experience data in order to improve or solve possible problems. After all, this is a new product, Nikki Although I have done a lot of testing in the laboratory, I can't guarantee the perfectness of the machine."

Simon nodded slightly, thought about it, and quickly said: "Well, I will arrange for Igreit to buy all of the first batch of 1,000 icams, and then arrange a free trial event among blog users, with 1,000 active blogs. The trial reports that users regularly report back should be enough for you to improve.”

Claire actually thought so.

Since her own boss took the initiative, she agreed immediately.

The cost of 1,000 icams is actually only 320,000 US dollars, which is nothing compared to the tens of millions of dollars in marketing and promotion expenses that the Igret portal is currently investing in every month.

Simon noticed Lady C's expression and smiled.

As long as icam is popularized, it is absolutely beneficial to enrich the content of the current Internet platform.

Therefore, this project is the object that Simon intends to focus on.

Claire was not in a hurry for quick success, but Simon didn't plan to follow the steps, and then added another fire: "However, 1,000 units are too few after all, so I will help you get a loan of 5 million US dollars and completely put tinkerbell out. The company's framework is set up, and then 10,000 icams will be produced as soon as possible. Of course, this time you need to find a way to sell it yourself."

When girl C heard the words, her eyes suddenly lit up, and her body couldn't help but slammed into Simon's side.

There is a feeling of wanting to hug and kiss my boss.

In fact, Claire is not as strong as Simon's confidence in icam. However, the $1 million investment in this project is indeed not enough in her opinion.

However, in the first investment, Vase Fund took 50% of the shares. She and another partner, Ni

El Brantley is down 25 percent each. Asking for more money would further dilute her stake. Not only that, but her share in the Vase Fund will also be reduced by a large margin.

If the project fails, she's not sure she'll be able to continue with other investments.

Now, Simon's understated $5 million loan addresses all her needs at once.

The amount of the Vase Fund will not be reduced, the equity will not be diluted, and tinkerbell will be able to get on the right track immediately.

You know, the $5 million does more than just build the tinkerbell company's framework and reproduce 10,000 icams.

The most important thing is the business operation experience that can be brought to her in this process.

Through the experience of the next 10,000 icams from component procurement, machine assembly, advertising marketing and even product sales, Claire can basically completely understand the various skills required to run such a company.

Apple was founded in 1976 and has grown rapidly.

However, as a super giant in the computer industry, IBM, which has a deep foundation, did not successfully enter the PC field until the 1980s. Other companies such as Compaq and Dell were even more lagging behind in development. The biggest reason for this is that Apple has advanced ahead of schedule. Gained a variety of experience in running a personal computer company.

One step ahead, often one step ahead.

In the field of digital cameras, whether it is Japanese manufacturers such as Sony and Panasonic, or local giants such as Kodak, the accumulation of technology is much stronger than that of Tinkerbell, who is only a grass-roots team.

Neil Brantley once spent a lot of spare time and busy in recent months to create this icam, in the hands of Sony and other manufacturers, it may be possible to develop a prototype in a month.

However, as long as tinkerbell takes the lead in this field, once the compact camera emerges, tinkerbell will not be afraid of the competition from those traditional camera manufacturers.

The question, of course, is to get as many steps ahead as possible.

That's another benefit of Simon's $5 million loan.

Claire couldn't help but think that if the project was unsuccessful, he might not be able to repay the $5 million loan.

Um.

Anyway, there is a boss who has the bottom line.

$5 million, in the eyes of this young man, is nothing at all.

even if...

If it's a big deal, I'll sell myself to pay the debt and work for him for a few more years.

Simon looked at Lady C's gleaming eyes, tapped on the table with a smile, and said, "I want to add that this 5 million loan was just drawn from the bank for you, with interest, and the next one will be Only you can pay it back."

Claire nodded without hesitation: "Well, I still pay myself."

"So crisp? Sounds like a kid making sure to get their homework done on time."

Claire has completed her homework on time since she was a child, but the girl looked at Simon intently and said, "Yeah, if it's not up, there's nothing I can do."

Simon felt the look in Girl C's eyes who wanted to 'eat people', turned off the computer, got up and said, "Okay, let's prepare breakfast, and I'll call Jenny to get up."

Claire also got up, followed Simon's side step by step, hesitated for a while, and finally couldn't help saying: "Boss, do you want to take a shower first?"

"Um?"

"There is also a bathroom downstairs. I can help you get a change of clothes."

"Aren't you afraid that Jenny suddenly rushed in and beat you up?"

"Madam can't," Claire said, and suddenly said again: "If you want to fight, boss, you can, just don't use too much force."

"..."

Watching her boss speed up and leave, Claire curled the corners of her mouth.

The strategy failed again.

However, seems to have found a direction?

Holy Citizen Auditorium in downtown Hollywood.

The premiere of "Batman: The Dark Knight" is still held here, just like the first movie.

At about 5:30 in the afternoon, the black extended courtesy car was parked at the entrance of the red carpet, and Famke Jansen, in a red Gucci dress, stepped out the door.

With the support of Daenerys Entertainment, Famke Janssen has already participated in an Oscar ceremony before, and appeared on the red carpet outside the Holy Citizen Auditorium for the second time. Excited.

This highly anticipated feeling is probably something that many Hollywood superstars are fascinated by deep down.

Vanity Fair, Vanity Fair.

The higher the climb, the less and less important 'profit' is, and the more important thing is probably just 'name'.

"Wonder Woman" will start filming soon, but until then, everyone already knows her upcoming role.

This time on the red carpet is not just for publicity, but she will appear in this movie tonight. Although the time is very short, it is also the first time she will officially appear as Wonder Woman. .

There were shouts of 'Diana' and 'Wonder Woman' in his ears. Famke Jansen silently adjusted his breathing and pace, waving to the fans on both sides from time to time, and finally passed through the red. blanket.

Entered the media area, and took a few sets of photos together. For reporters, see

Asking aloud about Wonder Woman's filming is just laughing and not saying a word.

After finally finishing the appearance process, she was guided by the staff to go to the backstage first. Her PR came over and patiently and whispered to persuade her to try not to do a certain pose on the red carpet just now, it would appear unpretentious.

When I was my own PR manager at first, the PR, who is said to be brought out by Hollywood PR queen Pat Kingsley, obviously didn't like her.

He probably thought of her as a vase kept by some big man at will.

Now, along the way, especially after she was cast as Wonder Woman, that arrogance was long gone.

However, this woman in her thirties is very capable, and she also listens carefully and implements most of the other party's suggestions.

Just a little emotion in my heart.

It's finally coming out.

In the past few years, her life has been tight, and now she still has a debt of $500,000.

After confirming that she will star in "Wonder Woman", Hollywood has gathered a lot of producers to make her appear in various other movies, and there are a lot of heroines.

It's just that, without Daenerys Entertainment's approval, she can't act in any of them.

Think about it and understand.

Daenerys Entertainment has bet so much on her in recent years, how can it be used by others to consume her popularity.

You can't agree to change yourself.

Entering the backstage, pr gestured to her in a certain direction, and then disappeared voluntarily.

Looking at it, Westeros had arrived ahead of schedule and was chatting with Jane de Bont, the director of "Batman: The Dark Knight", and several other male and female creators, so he walked over.

Famke Janssen found himself incomprehensible to the already powerful young man in Hollywood before him.

for example.

I originally thought that I could get the role and give something that a woman can give, which is probably necessary.

However, in the past few years, he just asked her to accompany her to a party, and he did not take her away afterwards.

I remember very clearly that at the end of the party, she couldn't find him. Even thinking about it now, I can't help but feel a sense of frustration.

After a long time, it seems to have figured out some things.

It seems that he prefers women older than him, and some gossip tabloids have secretly analyzed this, which makes sense.

Simon chatted a few words with Famke Jensen, who came over, and saw that Brian De Palma and Robert Redford, who he had specially called to invite to join, appeared at the backstage entrance together, and took the initiative to greet him. .

After hugging the two of them, Simon asked with a smile, "Brian, and Bob, have you read that script?"

Brian De Palma and Robert Redford have both had a bit of a down year over the past year.

The "Bonfire of Vainglory" that Palma put a lot of effort into was not only a bad review, but also didn't make any splash at the box office. Redford starred in "Havana" at the end of last year, which was a huge box office failure, and Universal also lost a lot of money for this.

Simon has never forgotten the help the two gave him in "Lola Run". The three executive producers who were named at the time, David Giller, is still a long-term contract producer under Daenerys Entertainment. Man, his most recent job was as one of the producers of Terminator 2.

Therefore, without two people talking, after the box office failure of last year's project, Simon took the initiative to help them pay attention to some scripts.

Soon I found one, called "Peachy Deal," about a controversial topic of "whether you're willing to lend your wife to a billionaire if you give you a million dollars."

The copyright of the original novel of "Peachy Deal" is in Paramount's hands. After Simon found it, he negotiated with Paramount soon, and it was finalized as the first cooperative film between the two parties.

The "Peachy Deal" in memory happens to be starring Robert Redford, the heroine is Demi Moore, and it was the top ten box office film that year. Although Brian de Palma is not the original director, but such a story theme is simply perfect for Palma.
