The car stopped in front of the Shell Villa in Dumeijia Manor. Simon did not intend to get out of the car immediately, but said to Sarah next to him, "I'll have someone take you back."

Sarah Michelle Gellar was stunned, looking at Simon with some doubt and disappointment in her eyes.

Simon gave an order to the driver in the front row. Seeing that the girl quickly turned into a pitiful expression, he stretched out his hand to squeeze her little chin and said with a smile: "Tonight is not very convenient. If you have time, I will take you to Europe to play. ."

Sarah still didn't quite understand, but she grabbed the big hand that Simon wanted to take back and shook it, and said with her face raised, "Then, Simon, we're done."

Simon nodded with a smile: "Of course."

The driver opened the car door outside, and seeing that Simon was about to get out of the car, the girl leaned closer: "But, Simon, how can I contact you?"

"I will contact you."

After Simon got out of the car, he instructed the driver again, and walked to the villa.

Sarah Michelle Gellar wanted to summon the courage to chase it out, but before she could move, the driver closed the door, and she had to sit back and watch Simon through the window as he walked towards the building that often appeared in the pages of newspapers and magazines. on the Shell Villa.

Sarah's daze was interrupted by the polite questioning of the front-row driver.

The girl responded quickly, and when the car started, she couldn't see the man, and looked at this manor, which was destined to be only a glimpse in the night, with some yearning.

Simon is well aware that there are countless eyes staring at him all the time. This is California, and Sarah Michelle Gellar is only 15 years old. Even if the girl herself wants to, it is impossible to guarantee that she will not be caught and make a fuss in the future. Some turmoil came out.

There is no shortage of women around, so there is no need to plant such a time bomb.

In fact, I've been too busy recently, otherwise I can take the girl to other states tonight as usual. Laws vary from state to state in the United States. In many states, such as Utah or Washington state, girls can get married at the age of 12.

The three girls a, b, and d take care of Janet on the east coast. On Dumay Point, the baby-faced Zoe Parks and the eye-catching Isabel Dunn are responsible for Simon's daily life.

Simon entered the villa, and Isabel greeted him.

After greeting, I took Simon's suit and folded it and hugged it on his chest. Isabel said, "Boss, Alice is back."

Although still serving as the housekeeper of the Westeros family, Alice Ferguson spends more of her spare time in San Francisco because of the Amazon online store.

Zoe and Isabel were recently arranged to take care of Simon's daily life at the Dumay Cape Manor. In fact, they were also the housekeepers who were training their successors after tacit approval.

The Westeros family has more than 30 maids in North America alone.

However, after several adjustments, many girls were directly arranged to live in the city where the property under Simon's name was located, and it was the first group who were able to approach the Simon and his wife.

Taking a look at Isabelle, wondering if she squeezed her suit on her chest on purpose, Simon asked with a smile, "Where is it?"

Under Simon's gaze, Isabelle straightened her waist slightly, but her expression was as if she didn't know anything. She pointed in one direction and said, "Over the living room."

The Shell Villa has an activity area specially arranged for the maids. Generally, the bedrooms are on the second floor, and the first floor also has exclusive rooms for them, such as kitchen, cloakroom, gym and living room.

Of course, this treatment is limited to a few girls such as abcd and the housekeeper who can stay with the Simons, and most of the others can only live outside the manor even in Los Angeles.

Today is April 9, and some operating data for the first quarter of 1992 should have been released by Igret.

Simon thought about this, and walked straight to a living room on the east side of the villa hall that Isabel pointed to.

Seeing Simon's movements, Isabelle was stunned for a moment, and quickly followed.

Simon used to rarely take the initiative to go to their room.

Just as he came to the door of the living room, Simon heard a coquettish chuckle.

Standing at the door and looking in, Alice Ferguson was sitting on the sofa with a laptop in her hand, Zoe Parks was snuggling beside her, her arms were around the butler's waist, her chin was still on her shoulder, and the corner of her mouth was smiling. Say something in a low voice.

A baby-faced girl, Xiao Niaoyiren, is beside a short-haired beauty with a cold temperament.

This picture is, um, beautiful.

only.

Simon couldn't help but feel a sense of being pryed into the corner.

This is a small vase that I work hard and earn hard to raise every day!

Isabelle Dunn followed behind Simon. She also heard Zooey's light laughter. She carefully glanced over Simon to the living room, and then looked at the reaction of the host, and suddenly felt a slight sense of misfortune. .

Let you always look indifferent to us!

hum.

However, in order to avoid the plot progress being too embarrassing, Isabel still took the initiative to cough as a reminder.

The living room was brightly lit, but there were only yellow wall lamps in the corridor, so the two housekeepers didn't notice Simon's arrival at the first time.

Suddenly a voice was heard, and the two women looked over together.

Seeing it was Simon, Zoe Parks, who was still entangled in the housekeeper, was the first to react, jumping off the sofa and standing up like a frightened kitten, her eyes flickered left and right in a panic, and she was strong.

Self calmly greeted: "Good evening, boss."

The housekeeper, however, looked very calm, also got up to say hello, and took the initiative to send Zoey, who was guilty of being a thief, to prepare coffee for Simon.

Watching the baby-faced girl run out of the room, Simon walked into the living room, sat down on the single sofa beside the housekeeper, crossed his legs, looked at the cold beauty in front of him, didn't speak, and said, "You can explain it yourself" The evil boss looks like.

Isabelle actually wanted to come in and join in the fun.

However, seeing Simon's appearance, the girl just stepped into the door a few steps before quietly backing out.

The housekeeper sat down on the sofa again, picked up the laptop again with a calm expression, tapped it a few times, and handed the laptop to Simon, saying: "Boss, the basic revenue data of the online store in the first quarter has been preliminarily counted. It's done, do you want to take a look?"

Simon took the laptop handed by the housekeeper and put it on his lap, looked at the document on the screen, and said, "Aren't you going to explain it?"

The housekeeper's tone was still calm: "Boss, you never said that office romances are not allowed."

Simon frowned slightly and seemed to try hard to recall, and then said again: "Well, it should, I really didn't say it."

The housekeeper saw that Simon's attention was on the laptop screen, and quickly and seriously looked at the expression of the man in front of him, and then he was relieved.

My own boss obviously doesn't really care about this.

After working for Simon for so long, Alice can roughly tell when this young man who seems to be always light-hearted is really angry.

However, I suddenly discovered that, for so long, this man with indifference in his bones has been angry as many times as he can with one hand.

It was as if there wasn't much in this world that he cared about at all.

Indeed, at the age of 24, he has already reached the peak that most people in this world will not necessarily reach in ten lifetimes. It is too easy to get everything they want, and naturally it is difficult to care.

I can't help but think, what if it was me?

After having this idea, the housekeeper suddenly realized that perhaps, what she had just thought was not accurate.

It's not that he has too much and doesn't care.

More likely, this is the nature of this man.

Geniuses are often lonely and indifferent.

The man in front of him cannot even be described as a simple genius.

Totally a miracle.

A miracle that can easily make people have a strong desire to find out: what kind of person is he, how did he achieve everything now, and where is the limit in the future?

"Ellie, you know what? When a woman is very curious about a man, she often falls in love with him unconsciously."

A voice suddenly came from her ear, and the housekeeper came to her senses, suddenly realizing that she had been staring at her boss for an inexplicable amount of time.

There are two cups of hot coffee on the coffee table in front of him.

Obviously, Zooey had already brought in the coffee and left quietly.

With some panic, he retracted his eyes and subconsciously retorted: "I won't fall in love with you."

Say it and regret it immediately.

This sentence is simply the standard response of a soap opera heroine when she is duplicitous.

Simon smiled and continued to look at the financial report data on the laptop.

Amazon's online store opened on January 23 at the beginning of the year. In the first quarter, it only ran for about 70 days.

After the first-day orders exploded due to the early adopter psychology of users and extensive publicity and marketing, the subsequent sales of the online mall began to drop rapidly.

Compared with the astonishing 1.32 million book purchase orders on the first day, the average daily order volume of the online mall after running smoothly is only between 50,000 and 100,000.

This sharp drop in sales figures is actually expected.

In Simon's memory of shopping carnivals such as Double Eleven, the number of orders in a single day can often reach more than ten times that of weekdays.

On the first day of the opening of Amazon's online store, it is equivalent to a small shopping carnival under the tireless marketing of the Westeros system.

Subsequent orders have shrunk sharply, which is the normal state in the early stage of e-commerce development.

Even so, throughout the first quarter, Amazon's online marketplace accumulated 5.03 million orders, 6.19 million books sold, and $135.71 million in sales.

In Simon's memory, Amazon was founded in 1995, and it was not until 1998, three years later, that it achieved annual sales of $600 million.

The current new version of Amazon has achieved sales of US$135 million in the first quarter of its opening. With the continuous growth of performance in the subsequent quarters, it is not a problem for the annual revenue to exceed US$600 million.

In the early 1990s, the annual sales of the American book market were around 500 million copies.

According to the sales data of the first quarter, in just one year, the share of Amazon's online store in the book market is expected to exceed 5%. Such a growth rate has made the entire physical book retail industry face a formidable enemy.

On the other hand, the amazing sales performance achieved by Amazon's online store actually seems logical.

Unlike Amazon, which started from scratch in the original time and space, Jeff Bezos needs to start from scratch. Now, relying on the Amazon online store of Igret, almost as soon as it goes online, it has the traffic import of tens of millions of users on the entire World Wide Web platform. This is a huge consumer group with a scale of more than 20 million, and they are all in the best economic situation in the United States and have the highest education level, so they also have

High-end consumer groups who have reading habits and often buy books.

In addition to the large-scale high-quality user base, the brand-new Amazon mall also has an increasingly perfect ypay online payment system, which is far beyond the previous Amazon.

Even in terms of platform capacity, since Amazon started from scratch, it could only expand its scale step by step, from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands to millions of users.

The Amazon online store this time, the platform can support 5 million simultaneous access capacity at the beginning of the opening.

Moreover, because of the use of cloud computing technology, Amazon was able to support simultaneous access of 5 million users in a single segment when it broke out on the first day of opening, but at the same time, after the user traffic fell, it was able to flexibly reduce server resources to the corresponding scale, and therefore significant cost savings.

This kind of technology seems simply breathtaking to some technology companies in the industry who have glimpsed the clues.

Computing resources have always been an essential and very expensive cost for information-based high-tech enterprises.

If the Amazon online store does not use cloud computing technology, the huge server cost will become a big burden for the store. To adapt to the peak traffic, the server equipment will be greatly expanded, and a lot of computing resources will be wasted during unpopular times.

Another key logistics aspect, Simon also used his own prophetic advantages based on the Blockbuster model in his impression and many other information to let Amazon establish a close cooperative relationship with the US Postal Service, the largest logistics network in the United States, to the greatest extent possible. It ensures the user's online shopping experience.

All in all, the success of Amazon's online shopping mall should actually be regarded as the result of the accumulation of a lot of money accumulated by Igreit over the years since its establishment.

You must know that in the previous year of 1991, the total operating income of Ygrit's yws service, online advertising, ystore and ie browser sales reached 491 million US dollars, which is also a big initiative in the industry's view. .

However, on the other hand, behind the company's annual revenue of nearly 500 million U.S. dollars, it is a net loss of up to 387 million U.S. dollars.

In the history of American business, there is very little capital that dares to spend hundreds of millions of dollars every year in an industry with no prospects for it. You know, the entry threshold for the 1991 Forbes 400 richest list in the United States was only a little over $300 million.

Moreover, the loss of 387 million U.S. dollars not only means that the company only burned 387 million U.S. dollars in 1991, and the revenue of nearly 500 million U.S. dollars was basically reinvested in Igret's talent recruitment, Technology research and development, publicity and marketing and data center construction and other aspects.

Many technology companies that are already familiar at this time, such as Intel, Microsoft, Apple, Oracle, etc., only raised hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars in the early stage of development, and then grew gradually.

With Simon's investment at all costs, Igreit is a leap-forward development with high growth potential.

Moreover, unlike the early blooming of hundreds of flowers in the Internet industry in the original time and space, it is precisely because of Simon's unremitting investment that the current World Wide Web, even under the banner of openness and sharing, can be seen by anyone. The company's basic monopoly network platform.

In the past few years, Westeros has directly created a brand-new high-tech industry by combining with a large number of technology companies such as Intel, Microsoft, Cisco, and America Online, and by sparing no effort to spend a lot of money.

After reading the information, Simon casually glanced at the time in the lower right corner of the laptop, which was approaching eleven o'clock in the middle of the night.

Glancing at the side, the housekeeper was still sitting upright.

Lifting the corners of his mouth and smiling, Simon put down his laptop, got up and walked to the housekeeper, and said in the girl's panicked eyes with a slightly different meaning: "I suddenly want you to fulfill your original promise."

After Simon finished speaking, like a robber, he stepped forward and directly picked up a woman with a stiff body, turned and walked out of the living room.
