Even though it was the weekend, Simon's schedule was still full.
Arriving in Manhattan, 9 o'clock is a seminar in the field of molecular biology at Columbia University in the Upper West, sponsored by the Simon & Jennie tevistrow foundation.
It's actually a small extension of Simon's 3G plan tour.
The theme of this seminar is to set up a Simon & Janet westero foundation fund focusing on biological gene research. Although it is a sub fund, it is only the first special budget. The scale will reach 10 billion US dollars, which will be injected in five years. The main sponsorship target is the human genome project (HGP).
Just as basic materials are the key to a fundamental understanding of a building, genes are the key to solving the mystery of life.
The human genome project, which plans to sequence billions of human gene sequences, started in 1985 and started in 1990. The United States, Britain, France and Japan have a total budget of only US $3 billion.
Simon announced at the seminar that he would spend 10 billion US dollars. No matter what the reason, the sensation in the small circle on the spot can be imagined.
People with a little insight understand that research in the field of basic science is the key to promoting the progress of civilization.
However, the reality is that because all kinds of basic science fields have the characteristics of huge input but small output, whether it is the national level or private capital, the input resources are very limited.
Everyone is short of money!
If Simon westrow can fulfill his $10 billion promise, and even continue to add money, it will not be a big money maker, but a savior.
At the seminar.
Facing the expectations of a large number of experts in related fields, Simon rarely gave a speech. The general theme is that after the cold war, mankind has entered a rare period of peace, but we can't be at ease because of it. We must move on. In addition, it is the elaboration of 3G plan again and the operation target of this sub fund.
Crack the mystery of life.
The seminar started at nine o'clock and lasted for two hours.
Although the news spread rapidly in the circle, at least the specific information of this seminar will not be made public too much. After the meeting, the operation of public opinion will be taken over by the huge media public relations team of the Westeros family.
The main thing is to create a "talisman" for Simon.
At the same time as the Columbia University Seminar was held, tingcobail store, located at the junction of Fifth Avenue and East 59th Street, officially opened at 10 a.m.
This is Simon's plan to transfer to Tinkerbell at the beginning of the year.
After more than half a year's preparation, there are only three in the first batch. Considering the time difference, the other two in Los Angeles and San Francisco will open three hours later. Therefore, New York is the world's first flagship store of tincobail brand.
As one of the most rapid rising new technology enterprises in recent years, the opening of tingcobail store has attracted a large number of media and brand fans' attention. This morning, the area at the junction of Fifth Avenue and East 59th Street was once congested by too many people.
The media's comments on dinkbail store are also mixed.
Many media with traditional ideas think that it is very unwise for tingcobaier to open brand stores in Manhattan, Beverly Hills in Los Angeles and Pacific Highlands in San Francisco. The main reason is that the cost is too high and he may lose money if he doesn't pay attention.
In addition, there is also the media that dinkbaier's product range is ultimately thin, there is no need to open a flagship store.
again, even though the Internet bubble has broken down, there are still a large number of industry media optimistic about the development prospects of e-commerce. It is considered that online consumption will be a mainstream trend in the future. In recent years, the company's emphasis on e-commerce is also well known. Now it suddenly opens a physical store, which has the meaning of reversing.
Even if the opening day is crowded, the mainstream view still thinks that this is only temporary.
Simon just watched quietly.
After all, his energy is limited. For many enterprises in the westero system, Simon plays a more guiding role. It's up to the enterprise team to decide the direction and how to go. In addition, after finding that the attempt is unsuccessful, Simon will push on the direction where it is necessary to continue, just like Denise's anti terrorist elite series.
More depends on whether Simon has extra time, or even whether he is interested.
With Simon's current accumulation, even if some once hot projects fail, it will not damage the foundation of westrow system.
If it's not doing well, it's nothing to give up.
In addition, online sales is indeed a big trend for tincobail, but according to the experience from apple, opening a brand flagship store has many advantages, both in terms of sales performance and implicit brand promotion. What's more, at this stage, especially overseas, e-commerce in some countries is not even budding, so physical stores are more important.
Although he didn't attend the opening ceremony, Simon showed up at noon at the celebration reception held by the east coast team of tincobail for the opening of the Fifth Avenue flagship store.Not much.
After all, C girl and other top management of dinkober are all on the west coast, and here is just a vice president of marketing. Even if the other party is already on the top of dinkober, it is still far from Simon. The guests at the reception are mainly ordinary media people and can't say much. The ten minute appearance has been a great support, and it can also show Simon's attitude towards tincobail store.
Hello, everyone. Our public account will send cash and red envelopes every day. You can get them as long as you pay attention to them. The last welfare at the end of the year, please seize the opportunity. The official account []
Simon, a book store, is on the 66 East Street of danireis entertainment east coast headquarters, which is an hour long video conference.
It's mainly about the anti terrorist elite ol.
After the sales volume exceeded 100000 sets in 15 hours, as of 9:00 a.m. on the east coast this morning, the video game has been on sale for 24 hours. The cumulative sales volume of the game has exceeded 140000 sets. If this hot trend continues, it is not impossible for the first week's sales to exceed 1 million.
Therefore, at the video conference, everyone agreed to spend an additional $20 million on publicity and distribution for the follow-up marketing of "anti terrorism elite ol".
Simon once again reminded the management to pay special attention to the plug-in problem.
In my memory, too many classic games have been destroyed by plug-ins, and the antagonistic action shooting game "anti terrorism elite ol" will be a fatal injury to the player's game experience if plug-ins are rampant.
In addition, with regard to overseas distribution, Simon highlighted South Korea.
There are other purposes than business.
Let's start from the beginning.
1998 used to be a very bad year for South Koreans. In 1997, the Asian financial turmoil began to devastate the real economy. South Korea's economy was in turmoil, thousands of large and small enterprises closed down, and countless people lost their jobs. For the time being, the rest was just about games. South Korea's downturn in 1998 unexpectedly created an industry, which is just a small one It's E-sports in Korea.
The key is called StarCraft.
In the original time and space, Blizzard's "StarCraft" is very popular. There's no need to repeat it. It's just the first generation of games. The cumulative sales of more than 10 million levels prove everything. Among them, "StarCraft" overseas sales, a small South Korea, unexpectedly occupied 50% of the market share.
As for the reason, under the economic downturn, a large number of Korean young people began to paralyze themselves with games, "StarCraft" came into being.
Too many people are addicted to the game, which is very popular for the Korean upper class who implement the variant 3S plan or another pacifier plan.
Citizens are obsessed with a game, the probability of trouble will be much smaller.
As a result, the major chaebols, including Samsung, have actively promoted the development of various E-sports activities, invested heavily in organizing competitions, and even developed a whole e-sports industry chain, just as the chaebols enthusiastically supported sports in the 1980s.
This time, after the former Blizzard team completed "Warcraft 2", with Simon's personal promotion, they also started the development of "StarCraft", which is expected to go on sale in the first half of next year.
The quality of the new StarCraft is unknown, but Simon also plans to focus on South Korea next year.
That's what I'm going to say.
Now, since "anti terrorism elite ol" has shown some potential, it's hard to say that this game will not be used as a "pacifier" in South Korea. After all, the next few years in South Korea are hard times and need some spiritual comfort.
Simon has always been very helpful.
Even in the long run, Simon has a certain plan for South Korea.
After the Second World War, after several twists and turns, the Koreans lost their military sovereignty and economic sovereignty at first. Then, as a kind of balance, it is better to make the cultural sovereignty of the Koreans more powerful.
It's very good to take away a lot of spiritual material for you.
It's like once.
Oscar, here!
Cannes, Berlin, Venice, all over again!
Korean wave output, strong support!
Grab all kinds of intangible cultural heritage, grab it!
As long as he wants to, mentally, Simon plans to give the whole universe to Korea.
And then, when the spirit gets enough satisfaction, do you Koreans care about the material gain and loss? After all, the whole universe is Korean. Why is it so vulgar?!
