Chapter 409: 410

In order to follow the memory of the avenger building and build a westero building in Manhattan, Simon successively bought a block of property and land between 59th and 60th streets east of Madison Avenue in Manhattan a few years ago, totaling six buildings.

It was impossible for the six buildings to be emptied at one time in a short time. At that time, it was not time to build the buildings. Simon took care of those buildings as commercial properties and signed two to three-year leases with most of the residents.

The lease will expire in the next year or two, and Simon's current wealth is enough to support the construction of the westero building.

So, hearing James' question, Simon nodded and explained, "the design of the building has been going on for the last two years. Now we start the preparation and break the ground by the end of next year, but the main building will take about five years. It is estimated that the new millennium will be approaching when the later decoration is officially entered. With such a long cycle, even if we need to invest more than $1 billion, we can easily raise funds. "

Maybe every boy has a dream of building a mansion in his heart.

The Rockefeller Center, the Empire State Building, the twin towers and so on should all have similar motives behind the scenes.

James could not help thinking, knowing that Simon's mind had been decided, he still advised: "Simon, it's not just a matter of money. Have you ever thought that a 2000 foot tall building, a 100 story building, and millions of square feet of interior space need to be filled

"Of course I have, Jim. I also know that many buildings often identify some tenants before they start construction. However, from now on, it will take at least seven or eight years for the building to be completed and put into use. Therefore, I don't think we need to worry too much about this. We can look for residents while building. And, worst of all, our own company can use the building. "

After the meeting, the construction plan of westero building was formally put on the agenda, and Janet was in charge of it.

In order to achieve the most perfect architectural effect in every detail of the building, Simon didn't make a budget ceiling at all, and now he has enough strength to pay more than $1 billion.

While Simon was busy with the affairs of the Westeros system, in this may of 1991, there were other big things happening.

The two major ruling parties in the United States began to lay out the U.S. presidential election in 1992.

On the Republican side, relying on the momentum gained by the Gulf War, George W. Bush almost has no suspense about becoming the Republican candidate for the next presidential election.

On the Democratic side, although it won the mid-term election in 1990, the Democratic Party is faced with the dilemma of "no general in Sichuan". Until now, there is no presidential candidate who can compete with George Bush.

As we all know, American politicians participate in presidential elections. Generally speaking, they can only have one chance in their lifetime, not including re-election.

Once it fails, it will be even more difficult to win the Nomination within the party.

Therefore, some of the leaders in the Democratic Party who have enough prestige and strength and are interested in the presidency, for fear of George W. Bush's victory in the Gulf War, choose to give way one after another.

Even if the general trend is on the Republican side, there will always be someone to challenge George Bush.

So this may, a young politician named Bill Clinton, who was the governor of Arkansas, and New York governor Marlow gummer, who was too old to wait, announced that he would take part in the 1992 US presidential election.

However, Simon is most concerned about rose Perot, a tycoon with a fortune of more than 2 billion US dollars, who is at the top of the US 400 rich list.

Ross Perot was very dissatisfied with the two major ruling parties in the United States, so he said that he would form his own party to participate in the 1992 presidential election.

Simon remembers very clearly that in the original time and space, although the domestic reputation fell sharply due to internal affairs, George Bush still had an advantage over Bill Clinton.

However, it was Ross Perot, who was also a conservative candidate, who won a large number of votes from George W. Bush with a record 19% support rate from the third camp, which led to the failure of George W. Bush's re-election.

In other words, Bill Clinton, who had little hope of reaching the top, entered the White House unexpectedly because he was suspected of "not getting the right place". After eight years in power, he was surrounded by all kinds of scandals, and even became one of the few presidents impeached by Congress in the history of the United States.

It's very similar to Simon's memory of someone who came from a completely layman and stepped into the White House.

Coincidentally, another one who lost the election happened to be Clinton's wife, Hillary Clinton.

In a word, this is probably a kind of political ecology in the United States.

Those well-established political families or highly respected senior politicians, such as George W. Bush at this time, have no similar "trouble".Although Simon's political layout focuses on congress, he will not spend too much energy in the White House.

This time, however, Simon told James Leibold to establish contact with the Clintons in private, promising to fully support each other in the election.

It is unwise for Clinton to make such a promise before he has been nominated by the party.

However, the icing on the cake is never as good as sending charcoal in the snow. If you want to get more, you have to take more risks. Since the focus of the layout is not in the White House, it is natural to invest in a potential stock that is not optimistic. It will not have much impact on Simon and westrow system.

Greenwich, Connecticut.

Simon is planning a birthday party in the manor here. Tomorrow is the eighth birthday of Sophia's daughter, Gemma fishy. Sofia's apartment in Greenwich is not big, so Janet takes the initiative to lend her manor to little Gemma for a birthday party.

In addition, a documentary about Antarctica will be shown in the manor tomorrow night.

The documentary began production last year and was finally named "ice and snow world" with a budget of $3 million. The documentary is not mainly about penguins, but mainly about the scenery of Antarctica.

At the same time, after the "Premiere" tomorrow night as a birthday gift for little Gemma, the documentary will be launched in North American Theaters next Friday.

As long as we can get a good response, with the accumulated experience of the first documentary, Simon's memory of the "emperor penguin diary" project will start again.

May is just the new year's American drama promotion season. Since it is necessary to strengthen the layout of Denise entertainment in the TV field, Simon has also come to New York in recent days to personally participate in the selection and preparation of some projects.

Janet couldn't come because she was pregnant. Although it was a weekend, Simon didn't return to the west coast. Instead, he stayed here and planned to attend little Gemma's birthday party before leaving.

In the evening, Sophia checked the arrangement of the housekeeper Alice and the girls for tomorrow's birthday party. She came to the study on the second floor. Simon was sitting at his desk and reading some papers carefully.

Ben was going to sit down opposite Simon. Seeing the man look up and make a gesture after seeing her, Sophia hesitated a little, then turned to Simon opposite the desk, and was held in his arms by the man.

I was a little worried about what Simon would do to make sure that he was just embracing himself.

His face still turned red.

This posture is more like an adult embracing a child, or a boy embracing his girlfriend.

However, she is so many years older than him.

I had to hypnotize myself as much as possible and turn my attention to the document in the man's hand: "what's this?"

Simon pasted the woman's smooth face on his side and explained, "a data interface development plan."

Sophia, well, she didn't have much interest because she was wandering.

Simon didn't speak any more after explaining. He put his arms around the woman and continued to focus on looking through the documents in his hand.

The last time I came up with the idea of building a whole hardware ecosystem around USB interface, things have made considerable progress during this period.

In fact, Apple has been developing a similar data interface since 1986. It is the "FireWire" interface, which was applied in many apple computers in the 1990s but failed to be popularized.

In Simon's memory, this data interface, which appeared earlier than USB and has higher data transmission efficiency, has not been popularized. On the one hand, it is the rapid decline of apple in the 1990s. On the other hand, it is also the high cost of the interface and the conservative and expensive licensing strategy of apple, which holds the interface patent.

In short, the difference between FireWire interface and USB interface is probably equivalent to the difference between CCD and CMOS, the core components of digital camera.

Because of the advantages of cost and energy consumption, CMOS is destined to be the application trend of consumer digital cameras in the future, and so is USB compared with FireWire.

However, FireWire now takes the lead in terms of time.

If Simon has control over apple, he will promote FireWire interface as a transition for the time being, and then promote another standard after the cheaper and more convenient USB interface scheme is completed.

Unfortunately, Simon can't get involved in Apple's operations.

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

Just as it happens, igritte's team also successfully found a solution similar to USB interface.

Simon doesn't have much memory of this, but he is almost sure that this is the USB interface scheme in his memory.

The solution comes from an Indian hardware engineer named Ajie Bart of Intel. This engineer submitted his own solution to Intel's senior management two years ago. He wants to develop a data transmission interface that is more extensive and convenient than the existing serial interface and parallel interface, and can also plug and play.However, in the past two years, three consecutive revisions have been submitted, and Ajie Bart's plan has not been approved. Before that, the engineer has been working in Intel's processor chip team.

The information inside Silicon Valley is very open.

The popularity of the world wide web has further accelerated the information exchange within Silicon Valley.

After Simon put forward his own idea, igritte let out the wind of looking for similar solutions or talents, and Ajie Bart soon took the initiative to contact here.

Like AOL, Cisco and other star technology companies of westero system, igritte, which has rapidly become a rookie in Silicon Valley, has attracted much attention in the past year.

Therefore, this incident did not surprise the top management of Intel.

Ajie Bart's data interface scheme, which has been ignored for two years in a row, immediately attracted a lot of people's attention.

Building a hardware ecosystem around personal computers is not igritte's business focus. Westero is still the largest shareholder holding 15% of Intel's shares. Since Intel attaches importance to it, Simon does not insist on digging the wall, and then takes the initiative to bring Microsoft in.

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

Intel is in charge of hardware, Microsoft is in charge of software, and igritte or westero focuses on the development of peripheral hardware systems such as digital cameras, USB flash drives and MP3 players.

Three companies work together, just can achieve the purpose of promoting USB.

Therefore, just recently, the "universal serial bus" project team jointly participated by the three companies was officially established, with Ajie Bart as the project leader, and the technology patents will be jointly held by Intel, Microsoft and igrit.

Because of the sufficient budget and the support of hardware system, operating system and other technical platforms, the development cycle of USB is expected to be one to two years. The first stage of peripheral hardware ecological promotion will mainly focus on the two peripherals of mouse and keyboard, which are indispensable for personal computers.

Westero will also invest in the development of USB interface version of digital cameras, U disk and other peripheral hardware products.

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

Just as she put the woman on the desk with a bad smile, Sophia woke up and pushed the man's hand to untie his clothes: "it's a little late. I have to go home to have dinner with the children."

Simon pretended dissatisfaction and said, "what can I do?"

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

Simon said with a smile, "why don't I go there? I really want to try the feeling of night attack. "

Sophia rolled her charming eyes and patted Simon on the back of his hand. They stood behind the desk and kept some charming and ambiguous posture, but they did nothing more. Sophia was not in a hurry to escape. She was still rubbing her calf on the man's leg. She changed the topic and said, "by the way, I've found some people about the detective team."

"Stasi of Germany?"

Sophia nodded: "probably more than ten people have been contacted, among them there are those with high level. Recently, I have sorted out a piece of information for you. Or, if you want to see it for yourself, I'll send them to America? "

Simon thought about it and said, "not for the time being. You can arrange some things first to see their ability."

Sophia nodded: "I'm going to put them in charge of the background check of your Butler and maid team in Europe. It's a kind of test. In addition, I recently went to some major universities in Europe and found a lot of excellent girls. According to your idea, maybe you can create a large number of female multimillionaires. Think about it, it's really something with a sense of achievement. In this world, most people always despise women. "
