Leaving ea's headquarters, Simon rushed to Palo Alto's Eaglegate corporate headquarters for a project meeting on breaking up the online software store.

In fact, it is still related to video games.

In order to further refine the operation, the online software sales platform ystore, which was originally launched with the ypay system, plans to split into two parts in the near future. The original ystore store will continue to provide various types of paid or free software sales and download services, while game software will be split separately. Divide it out and set up a special comprehensive website.

Simon, based on his long-standing personal habits, has given the site a name: steam.

In the early days of the ystore store, Simon's housekeeper Alice Ferguson was personally responsible for the creation of the store. At present, the work focus of the housekeeper has shifted to Amazon's online store, and the ystore business is still in charge of her. She also attended the split meeting.

Simon's purpose of participating in these meetings is to have a more intuitive understanding of the various businesses of Igret Company. The one-hour meeting was mainly for the team in charge to speak and discuss independently, and he did not express any opinions.

After the meeting was over, and the others were sent away, Simon looked at the housekeeper who subconsciously took a sip of the coffee at hand, and asked, "Is there no rest on the weekend?"

Alice Ferguson put down the coffee cup and said, "About the planning of the new batch of distribution centers."

Simon nodded, he knew it too.

Amazon's online store is preparing to build a batch of new large-scale logistics distribution centers. The total investment of all 7 distribution centers will reach 350 million US dollars, and the average investment of each distribution center is 50 million US dollars. Even after many years, it is a big deal. It will also provide more than 10,000 new jobs across North America.

After these batches of logistics and distribution centers will be completed and put into operation at the end of this year and the beginning of next year, Amazon's online store will also further increase the variety of products on the website in addition to books, video tapes and movies. Therefore, it is very important for Ygrit's e-commerce business. Layout.

Looking at the obvious tiredness on the delicate and beautiful face of the female housekeeper, Simon said: "You must know that the business of Igreit has a very clear product priority in my mind. Among the businesses you are responsible for, the online store is the The most important thing is absolutely not to be missed. Even if it fails completely, I will start a second investment. In contrast, if necessary, I will not hesitate to abandon the software store business.”

Simon has actually emphasized these more than once.

Alice Ferguson disagreed, saying: "In the past year, the software store has provided us with very considerable revenue and profits."

"But you also need to see the development trend of online software sales," Simon said: "At this stage, Ygrit's ystore does have unparalleled advantages in technical support, payment tools, website traffic, marketing promotion, etc., software and Game makers who choose to sell their products in software stores can sell 10 million sets, while building their own website may only sell 1 million sets, so it seems that the 30% commission is very cost-effective. However, the Internet is a very open Not only Microsoft and AOL, but also some other independent Internet companies are also trying to enter this industry. Moreover, with the continuous development of Internet technology, marketing channels, payment tools and their own brand awareness, once manufacturers It is found that selling the product separately is more objective than giving 30% of the income to the software store, and they will definitely be inclined to do so. At this time, what are you going to do?"

Alice frowned slightly.

In fact, this trend has already appeared, or has always existed.

Oracle's database software and Microsoft's series of software products have never landed on ystore, because these manufacturers already have their own very mature distribution channels, and can achieve a higher gross profit than ystore's share of accounts.

It’s not that the housekeeper did not consider reducing the share of accounts to attract these manufacturers to join, but the current network transmission speed is not friendly to large-scale software with a scale of hundreds of megabytes. Instead of spending a few hours downloading a software, it is better to drive a car. Go out and spend ten minutes to buy a set of physical CDs. Coupled with the scruples of online piracy, the cooperation failed in the end.

After AOL completed the adsl network upgrade, the Internet speed of most Internet users in North America has been greatly improved, and the Internet transmission technology and online payment tools have become more mature. When ystore wants to promote these cooperation, Microsoft has launched its own The software store, recently also decisively abandoned ypay, and launched its own online payment tool microsoft-wallet in cooperation with American Express.

Simon didn't wait for the housekeeper's answer, and continued: "You must be thinking that maybe you can force them into submission by limiting the exposure of these sites on the Igreit portal or by refusing to provide them with ypay tools as a bargaining chip, but doing so only It will be cheaper for our competitors. In Ygrit's product priority, ypay is also the first echelon. If a decision is beneficial to the development of ypay, but it will hurt ystore, then this decision should still be passed. .You think that those manufacturers will completely escape from Ygrite, but it is not. Although they lose 30% of the software store's commission, they still have to use our ypay tool and pay for it. There is no official promotion of ystore. , they also need to put a large number of online advertisements to promote their websites, and the Igreit portal happens to be an advertising platform that they absolutely cannot bypass. It happens that the priority of online advertising business

Level also surpasses ystore, because of the law of the Matthew effect, we also have an advantage in this regard that other manufacturers are difficult to easily subvert. "

Simon said here, tapped his finger on the meeting table a few times, and said: "It seems that we need to hold a meeting seriously for this, let's do it tomorrow," and looked at Girl A: "Make arrangements, tomorrow morning at nine o'clock, Anyone who is in the Bay Area has to be there on time."

Alison promised to drop the note on the memo.

After Simon finished his instructions, he looked at the housekeeper on the opposite side, and said to Lady A sitting next to him again: "Wait, you don't have to go to Mountain View with me, take Ellie to a beauty spa or something, anyway, it's you all. All sorts of upkeep for a woman and then sending her to my villa in Woodside."

The housekeeper was about to refuse, but when she heard Simon's last words, she protested with a blushing face: "I still have a job."

"it's gone now."

After Simon finished speaking, he stood up, and he had to rush to the construction site of Igret Park in Mountain View to have a look.

Alice sat still, her beautiful eyes glared over, and repeated: "I still have work."

Simon also stared at him: "Be obedient, or I'll let you take a mandatory vacation."

Alice looked at the man opposite for half a second, Xiaoxiao dodged, looked over again, and bargained: "I won't go to your place at night."

"Okay, I'll go to your place."

"..."

When Simon went out and disappeared, Alice's stiff body softened.

The girl a who was left behind by Simon smiled and said, "Let's go, Ellie, you really need to relax."

The housekeeper still had a cold face, but the client still left, and she didn't stand still with Alison. The relationship between the two parties was not very good. The housekeeper was not very good at dealing with people, and she would never forget that she was in Greenwich on the east coast. The past that was tricked by the four girls of abcd once they met.

The two walked out of the conference room, and Simon had left in a hurry, leaving a driver for the two women.

The current level of the housekeeper has her own full-time driver, but she did not reject the kindness of a certain guy. Girl A is not familiar with San Francisco, but after calling Girl C, everything was arranged in less than five minutes.

It was nearly twelve o'clock noon.

The two women first went to a restaurant for lunch, and then rushed to a beauty club near Atherton for a full afternoon of maintenance.

Leaving the clubhouse in the evening, Lady C also drove over.

The two women stood at the door of the clubhouse. When they saw Claire getting off the bus, Lady A subconsciously looked inside the carriage and asked with a smile, "Where's the little goblin?"

"School, I've been very busy recently," Claire and Alison hugged and said with a smile, "Why don't I call and ask her to come over."

Allison just rolled her eyes.

Claire hugged Alice affectionately again, and said, "Ai Li, you are beautiful again, and even I am moved."

Knowing that Claire was making fun of herself, the housekeeper simply rolled her eyes.

After greeting, Claire dropped her car, and the three women crowded into a car to a nearby French restaurant. Girl C had already reserved a spot in advance.

"Sony refused outright, Panasonic asked for a 30% stake, how could I agree? The most annoying thing is Kodak, they would rather their technology rot and not cooperate with us. If we want to enter the digital camera project, we only I can rely on myself.”

At the dinner table, the topics discussed by the three highly professional women are still inseparable from work.

Tinkerbell will release the third-generation icam digital camera this Easter.

With the further popularization of the Internet and the rise of social networks, more and more users tend to express themselves on the Internet platform, and the demand for digital cameras has also increased significantly.

While other established manufacturers have launched their own products, icam, which is not considered high-end, has firmly occupied 60% of the digital camera market shipments in the past year by virtue of its advantages in brand, price and network adaptation. %, the annual shipment in 1993 reached 2.76 million units, an increase of 350% compared to the 610,000 units shipped in 1992, the annual sales reached 1.39 billion US dollars, and the net profit for the year according to preliminary statistics also reached 120 million US dollars. about.

As a supporting hardware around the Internet, the rise of Tinkerbell is undoubtedly the most intuitive proof of the outbreak of the Internet industry.

Digital cameras provide Internet platforms with richer picture content, and the explosion of the Internet industry has also greatly increased the public's demand for digital camera products. The two sides complement each other.

While further strengthening its own investment in digital camera projects, Tinkerbell has not stopped developing new projects.

In addition to the mp3 player iplayer, which has been perfected in private, and the u disk that is planned to be launched along with the usb technology, Tinkobeier also plans to launch a digital video camera (dv) project in the near future.

Compared with digital cameras, the threshold for digital cameras is much higher, and it also involves patent barriers.

Veteran electronics manufacturers around the world have long invested in the research and development of digital cameras. Although most of the manufacturers are targeting professional-grade commercial products, not mass consumer goods that Tinkerbell focuses on, both patent layout and technology accumulation have Leaving Tinkerbell behind.

Cooperating with these established manufacturers can not only launch their own products faster, but also obtain relevant patent authorizations, avoiding the entanglement of patent lawsuits in the future.

However, the major old electronic

Manufacturers have already given Tinkerbell a head start on digital cameras, and now they regret it too much. Naturally, they will no longer support Tinkerbell's development of digital camera projects, so they either directly refuse or propose unacceptable cooperation. Condition, Tincobel can only rely on himself.

Listening to Claire's words, Alison said, "Actually, I think that the popularity of home film cameras is so high now that you may consider developing a special machine for converting film to digital, allowing everyone to convert their stored film video into digital. Video, there should be a big market."

Claire shook his head and said, "It's not like you haven't seen Hollywood-specific telecine equipment. Professional ones cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, and they're very large and heavy. How can it be possible to achieve household level?"

A girl said: "It can't be used for home use, but it can be used for commercial use at the laboratory level. Moreover, the equipment in Hollywood is at the film level, and the conversion quality requirements are very high, but you only need to get the super 8mm film for home use. Picture quality doesn’t have to be perfect.”

Girl C continued to shake her head: "If you are interested, you can try this project."

On the other side, the female housekeeper, who has been speaking very little, also said: "Since digitalization is an inevitable trend, the product cycle will not be too long when this kind of machine is developed. Maybe it has not been popularized yet, and DV has become popular."

A girl paused, wanting to refute that film and digital may coexist for a long time, just like digital cameras and film cameras today.

But thinking about it, she still didn't speak.

With the current popularity of digital cameras, perhaps after the launch of dv, taking into account the many advantages of this product, perhaps the elimination of home film cameras will be faster and faster.

Girl C didn't continue this topic, and instead asked about the beta company that the two girls ab cooperated with, and regretted that she should have also

The three girls seemed to have had dinner very harmoniously, and when they left the restaurant, they unknowingly split into two factions.

The driver drove the car over, and Alison took Claire's arm and said to the housekeeper, "C and I have to go shopping for a while, you can go back first, remember to rest early, there will be a meeting tomorrow morning, so I won't inform you. already."

The housekeeper stood by the door and didn't get in the car immediately. After hesitating for a while, she said tit for tat: "I'm going to Woodside, you have to open the door for me."

The girl a was a little disappointed: "Didn't you say you want to go home, the boss may also go directly to you."

"I'm going to Woodside."

The housekeeper repeated one sentence and got into the car on her own.

The driver didn't close the door and looked at Lady A in waiting.

Alison pulled LaClaire helplessly: "To Woodside tonight, let's sleep together?"

Claire didn't refuse, and nodded with a smile: "Okay."
