Chapter 414: 415

Just after dinner, Brandon Johnston couldn't wait to leave domay point.

Janet has contacted a party in Hollywood for him.

Moreover, although he is a fan of Batman Series, Brandon is not a fan of Simon. He is obviously uncomfortable with his aunt.

Obviously, because they are the same age, Brandon should get a lot of "other people's xxx" in private.

Betty Johnston and her daughter did not go out, but Janet visited the shell villa.

Simon and Anthony stayed in a living room on the first floor of the villa to discuss business.

"Probably seeing the rapid growth of the Internet industry in North America, Australia Telecom has made some concessions and is willing to reduce the shareholding ratio of the joint venture to 30%. On this side of the house, dad said that we should take 20% of the shares. If you like, there are still 50% shares to distribute. "

Since last year, Simon has been preparing to enter the Australian telecom market, including legal lobbying for restrictions on the relevant telecom industry in Australia and cooperation with local telecom companies in Australia.

Before the 1990s, Australia's telecommunications industry had been dominated by state-owned enterprises.

At present, Australia's largest telecom company is very similar to at-t in the United States before 1984. This company almost monopolized the fixed line telephone, cable TV and mobile communication industries in Australia. Other second - and third line telecommunications companies are basically state-owned enterprises.

Because of the huge interests involved in the telecommunications industry, capital forces have been continuously lobbying the Australian government to open the telecommunications industry to the private sector.

With the joint efforts of all parties, in January this year, the Australian government finally lifted the regulatory ban on the telecommunications industry, allowing private investors to participate in the local telecommunications investment in Australia. Therefore, the westero system was able to start its own layout.

Simon's planned telecom services in Australia are mainly mobile communications and Internet access services, as well as igritte's portal business.

If you want to develop ISP business, the fastest way is to choose to cooperate with local operators just like AOL.

Telstra, which monopolizes the whole Telstra network, is basically the only choice.

Australia Telecom is very clear about its advantages, and has not committed the mistake of Bell Atlantic's three companies in cooperating with AOL. It insists on obtaining 50% shares of AOL, which is similar to AOL registered in Australia by Westeros.

In recent months, the Johnston family, which has confirmed a stake in AOL, has been negotiating with Telstra.

Simon actually knew in advance what Anthony had just said and thought about it. At this time, he said, "I thought that in this case, we would just leave Telstra alone. Whether it is Internet access services or mobile communications, it is still an emerging industry in the early stage of development. Even if we cooperate with companies such as Telstra, we still need to face the problem of infrastructure upgrading. The initiative in this respect is in the hands of Telstra, and we will be greatly constrained in the future. "

Because of the signing of the exclusive agreement, they are unable to take part in the emerging Internet field. During this period, bell Pacific and Nynex's cooperation with AOL has become more and more negative, which to a large extent limits AOL's expansion in the region where the two companies are located.

That's largely why Simon doesn't plan to work with Telstra.

Because of the negative constraints of Bell Atlantic and Nynex, AOL now has to speed up the construction of its own line network in the service areas of bell Pacific and Nynex.

Simon doesn't care about Telstra's insistence on a 30% stake. He just doesn't want to be subject to the same constraints as AOL's in front of bell Pacific and Nynex.

Parasitic on the network of other companies, even if the other party to cooperate, after all, it is better to build their own network.

Moreover, even if it cooperates with Australia Telecom, it will not be possible to start business all over Australia at one time. It will definitely have to carry out trial operation in a certain region, and then continue to expand.

In this case, the advantage of cooperation with Australia Telecom is not so obvious.

After all, with Bell Atlantic and AOL, westero does not lack the support of enterprise operation and technical team.

What needs to be invested is only the investment in the construction of basic operation network.

If only in a certain area, such as Melbourne, or a Victoria, the cost of this aspect will not be too large.

Build your own network and get the initiative.

"In fact, Dad means the same thing," Anthony nodded to Simon. "But even if he doesn't plan to cooperate with Australia Telecom, I think the company still needs to let out some shares, which will reduce a lot of resistance to the company's development in Australia. After all, our family's influence is mainly in mining resources. "Simon nodded, then shook his head and said, "for the next year or two, we will be the only two joint ventures for the time being. After the situation is opened, some shares will be transferred through financing. In addition, since we do not intend to cooperate with Telstra, we do not need to set up two more companies for Internet access services and mobile communications. We can directly set up a Bell Atlantic Australia branch. Oh, by the way, I'm going to change the name of Bell Atlantic to Verizon communications recently. This company is Verizon Au. "

Au is the abbreviation of Australia.

Verizon Au rather than AOL Au is mainly because Simon owns 100% of Bell Atlantic and only 75% of AOL.

Although AOL will still participate, this time it will focus on Bell Atlantic, which will be renamed soon.

Anthony Johnston has no problem with that either.

The two continued to discuss some details. Anthony finally decided to go to Bell Atlantic headquarters on the east coast to meet Raymond Smith after finishing MGM's business.

After the discussion, they talked about MGM.

"300 million dollars to buy 30% shares of MGM, although my father agreed, but in fact he was a little reluctant, he was not optimistic about this company," Anthony said with a smile, "so, it's up to you next. If you really lose money, the old man will lose his temper. "

In addition to the Johnston family's purchase of ICAM in Australia, Simon also asked Claire to register trademarks such as iPlayer, iPhone and iDisk around the world.

At present, these are not used naturally, but they can also be regarded as an alternative reserve.

Simon changed from jogging to walking. After slowing down, he picked up the dark blue ICAM 10 card camera and played with it. In addition to the camera in front, there is a 1.5-inch LCD screen in the back. Inside the camera, there are three pieces of traditional No. 5 batteries. It is obviously unrealistic to use lithium batteries in this era.

The storage device is a 3.5-inch general-purpose floppy disk. According to the manual, it can store about 50 photos.

Next to the C girl quickly opened another box, which is lavender.

In this era, electronic products are mainly practical, and little consideration is given to appearance. Simon is used to all kinds of beautiful industrial designs, and naturally will not tolerate them. At this point in front of a dark blue and a light purple, respectively for male and female customers, but also by Simon's influence.

In order to achieve these two shell colors, C girl also invested a lot of extra costs.

"We have ordered materials for 1000 ICAMs, and they will be fully assembled in the middle of this month. The cost may be more than US $320." While demonstrating the operation of the camera in her hand, C girl said, "after that, the first $1 million is only about $150000."

After all, because of the people around him, Simon has always been concerned about this matter.

It's only 1000 cameras, and the total cost is 320000 US dollars based on 320 US dollars. Before that, there were also Tinkerbell's operations, camera research and development, and customization of equipment parts, all of which cost money.

It's not easy to have $150000 left in the end.

Neil Brantley, the Engineer in charge of R & D in cooperation with C girl, originally hoped to customize special CMOS sensors. Because of the funds, he could only choose the existing public version sensors.

In short, although she is well prepared, girl c is actually cautious enough in this matter, probably because she wants to leave more business opportunities for herself.

It's easy to master how to use it. Simon finally stepped off the treadmill and motioned to girl C: "put a pose to have a look."

Claire, holding the lavender camera, leans on the treadmill with a smile on her beautiful face. Her slender body leans slightly like a model car. A thin white waist appears between her low waist slacks and tight black T-shirt. Even Simon has the idea of clicking on the girl's navel.

Pressing the shutter to take a series of photos, Simon walked out of the gym and said, "let's go and see the effect. I'll help you by the way."

Claire found that her boss had just been excited about her body, but she didn't do anything. This made her disappointed again, but she soon followed.

It's not the first time I've failed.

Even a few girls have privately bet that who can make their boss interested, even if it's not going to bed, it's just the ambiguity of other scales, it's the winner.

Unfortunately, no one has won until now.
