The meeting with Al Gore lasted an hour. At 2:30, the senator left in a hurry to return to Washington.
Seeing off Al Gore, Simon and James Leibold went back to the reception room and sat down again. After the Secretary changed his coffee, James said: "according to the Convention of the US presidential campaign, candidates and partners should be one north and one south, and their ages should complement each other. Arkansas and Tennessee are not only in the south, but also connected. Clinton and Al Gore are very old Light, are you really going to do that? "
Simon took a sip of his coffee. After Janet wanted to give up for a while, it's no longer necessary.
Put down the cup, Simon said: "Convention is to be broken, so many years of convention, the federal people should also want to see something new. In my opinion, the key to the success or failure of this election is not Clinton himself. "
In next year's presidential election, George Bush's advantage is too great.
A hundred years of political family background, deep political experience, the public reputation brought by the great victory of the Gulf War, and so on, all these are far from being comparable to Clinton who was born in the lower class and had a poor foundation.
To win such an election, you have to take it by surprise.
The key to Bill Clinton's victory in the 1992 presidential election is to let rose Perot, who belongs to the conservative camp, stand out as the third party and share the votes of George Bush.
James understood what Simon was referring to and said: "Perot has recently formed a reform party and has been constantly building momentum for himself in the media. However, Joseph team follow-up results show that the public response to his candidacy next year is not enthusiastic
"This is only temporary. Now Bush's reputation is still at the top because of his victory in the war at the beginning of the year, and the Democratic candidates have not come out. If Bush's war aura begins to fade next year, and the Democratic candidates will not be able to arouse public response, Perot's candidacy will probably win the support of a large number of people. "
Simon thought for a moment and said, "let's not pay too much attention to Perot for the moment. Before next year, the focus of operation is to help Clinton clean up his rotten affairs as much as possible."
"Clinton still has reservations about us, not full trust. However, Hillary was very cooperative. She probably saw the sincerity of our bet this time. With her cooperation, Joseph has also helped sign three confidentiality agreements and solved a live cattle futures operation in disguised form James couldn't help shaking his head and said, "don't you like Rooney Giuliani? I think he's worse than Giuliani in fact."
"This is a man who can do things very well, and his shortcomings can also give us more room to operate. If it's Jimmy Carter, how much do you think we can gain even if we help each other get into the White House?"
Jimmy Carter, who was in power from 1977 to 1981, gave most people the impression of mediocrity and inaction. The president was also very fond of feathers, so he was even more timid. After four years in power, he basically had no achievements, so he was defeated by Ronald Reagan, who was an actor with shallow qualifications.
James also nodded his head and agreed that if there is too much moral cleanliness in everyone's present position, we really should not do anything.
After finishing his work here, Simon went to Denise entertainment east coast headquarters in Greenwich to deal with some things, and left for the west coast in the evening.
I left after dinner yesterday and arrived in Los Angeles. Today's dinner is just beginning to prepare.
Back at domay point, c-girl Claire Gaines is waiting for herself.
Because of ICAM's success, Claire has to devote most of her energy to the company, which needs to work more than 10 hours every day these days.
Simon is not a reluctant person. Now that his maid's career is on the right track, he will let her go. Claire will go to San Francisco tomorrow to start a full-time job.
Janet had been chatting with girl C. when she saw Simon coming back, she went up to kiss her husband and said she was going to check the dinner preparation, so she left the living room.
Simon sat down on the sofa, looked at the girl who was still wearing her favorite ol uniform, and said with a smile, "how do you feel about escaping from westero?"
C girl helped Simon pour a glass of water and handed it to him. She sat down beside her boss, leaned over and looked at Simon with bright eyes and said, "I haven't officially left my job. I'll still get my annual salary in the next few years. Whenever my boss needs me, I can come back at any time."
"Is it OK to give up Tinkerbell?"
Girl c said without hesitation: "of course, it's all given to me by my boss. It's nothing to give up."
Simon looked at C girl's delicate face, feeling the good smell around him, and said, "I want to reward you all of a sudden."
Claire's eyes picked Simon nimbly. The little white hand sticking out of the black suit cuff rubbed slightly on his buttock skirt. With obvious provocation, he said, "I can remember, but I can't be here. My wife will be angry."Simon looked at the girl and said, "have you misunderstood something?"
Claire fixed her chin and said, "no, boss, you're too hard to handle. So, for me, some things are rewards. "
"And then, will there be another big ambition or something?"
"I've had it for a long time, but in front of my wife, I think living is the most important thing."
Simon thought about it and thought it was possible.
Since they got married last year, the outside world has been speculating about whether the two have signed a prenuptial agreement or what the content of the prenuptial agreement is.
The prenuptial agreement was signed.
Janet didn't ask for anything in the agreement. She felt like she was going to leave the house if she got divorced. However, Simon understood that there was no word "divorce" in the dictionary between them.
If you really want to say something.
Maybe.
Only widowed.
Simon's attitude towards the world is alienation and indifference. Janet's unrestrained childishness conceals a kind of madness that can ignore all rules at any time. Women say that their ideal is to destroy the world at first. It's not just a talk.
A person with keen intuition, who has been around a woman for a long time, may be able to experience the hysteria that Janet may break out at any time.
Girl c obviously realized it, so she couldn't have the idea of replacing it.
Simon and Claire had a few laughs and got down to business.
The starting point of Tinkerbell is very low and high.
It's very low because, compared with the camera industry giants who have accumulated technology for decades, Tinkerbell is like a newborn with nothing.
High starting point, because the company relies on the whole westero system.
Such a company, if well managed, will grow very quickly. If it can't control the situation, it may be a big dream in the end.
C girl faces many problems, such as coping with the outbreak of the market, improving the capacity of ICAM, continuing to invest in research and development, establishing retail channels, improving after-sales service, etc. If this pass is passed, the winner will fail.
Simon has also been thinking about the company recently.
If Tinkerbell can't do it, he will introduce other camera giants to join the competition as soon as possible, but what can be left to his own family must be left to his own family.
"For the problem of production capacity, because this camera is only for Internet users, we can try the online rush buying mode. Users can get the purchase quota through the rush buying page of the official website, and then the offline retail stores can pick up the goods according to the voucher. This can maintain ICAM's popularity for a long time, and avoid the disappointment that customers always encounter shortage when they go to retail outlets. "
That's what Simon remembers about hunger marketing.
However, online shopping has not yet sprung up, so we can only make certain adaptations to obtain quota online and pick up goods offline.
Claire kept an enchanting posture, listened to Simon carefully, and said: "for at least the next two months, we can only provide 2000 machines a week. Just these 2000 machines on the development of an online shopping system, will not be too wasteful. Even if there is no rush purchase, our official website has been down several times recently due to the increase of visits. "
Tinkerbell's official website rents servers operated by igritte.
Because cloud computing technology is still in the public stage of development, the current server leasing is still in the traditional inelastic mode. It is said that the amount of space is the amount of space. If it is only for the data peak of a certain period of time, it is necessary to rent servers that need many times the network space, which is really not worth the loss.
Simon thought about it and said, "then continue to cooperate with igritte. Igritte portal is capable of carrying such data traffic. This is also a win-win situation."
Claire nodded: "I'll discuss with Mr. Bezos when I go to San Francisco tomorrow, but boss, you need to say hello for me first."
They kept discussing other details, and it was dinner time before they knew it.
Janet doesn't allow maids to come to the table, so it's just her and Simon. ABCD can only wait for them to have dinner.
Of course, the time after dinner will not be given to the goblins around.
The couple watched TV for a while and arrived in the bedroom on time near nine o'clock.
After taking a bath together, changing into pajamas and sitting on the big bed, Janet takes out a thick folder from the bedside table and talks about a recent incident: "our investigation team found the guy who let igritte's door down a few days ago today. Guess who?"
"Your brother?"
“……”
"Well, I'm kidding."
Janet glanced at Simon, took out a picture from the folder and handed it to Simon, saying: "it's a little girl, Maya dorant of Rhode Island. She is only 16 years old and has a single parent family, but the family conditions are very good. Her mother has a family trust of about $8 million. If nothing happens, it will be enough for her mother and daughter to live a comfortable life It's too late. "Simon took a look at the picture.
This is obviously a candid photo of a quiet girl. She is not tall, and she is in her early sixties. She is thin. She is wearing a very ordinary T-shirt and jeans. She has crisp short hair and ears. Looking only at her side face, she is probably a beauty.
For some reason, Simon saw this picture and suddenly thought of another thing.
"Well, what happened to that girl at the Dark Knight premiere in June?"
Janet didn't expect Simon to mention it suddenly. She blinked twice and said, "you mean Jennie?"
Simon said, "yes, Jennie."
Another Jennie.
The woman didn't feel guilty at all. She said, "she adores you so much. Of course I'll let her do it."
"Well?"
"Jennie can't always be with you, so this Jennie can be an alternative. She has been admitted to Stanford and is about to start school. I plan to arrange some extra training for her, which is certainly no worse than Jennie."
"Will she herself?"
"What's she not willing to do, even her parents want to cry and shout to give her daughter to you?"
"Are you sure you have such parents?"
"It was just a couple of ordinary people. I gave them a million, and then it was done."
"Well, don't make any trouble."
"Of course not," said Janet
Simon also directly skip this matter, think about it carefully, there is still a lack of an assistant around him, female assistant has a plan to have a child in a few years, which needs more replacement. Simon is still at ease with the girl Janet has trained herself.
So he turned back to what he had just done, motioned for the picture and said, "what are you going to do with this girl?"
"The investigation team has obtained direct evidence from the girl's computer. I plan to have the mother and daughter showdown recently. Either we file a lawsuit and let them lose their property, or the girl has to give us a job."
Instead of pursuing the process of "obtaining direct evidence" by the investigation team, Simon asked, "isn't she only 16 years old?"
Janet obviously didn't feel anything wrong, and said, "yes, but 16 years old is very old. Many girls have children when they are 16 years old. Moreover, as long as we are given jobs, I will not only limit her life, but also make her live a better life. "
If you don't want to, maybe the trust fund for the mother and daughter will be cleared.
Eight million dollars is a huge sum of money that can be spent a lifetime for many ordinary people.
However, the 20 minute outage of igritte portal in the past few days will not be enough if we are forced to investigate.
Simon thought for a moment, nodded, and said, "if it's really strong enough, don't let her hang under igritte's door, just join our investigation team, and let her help to find other people in the future."
"That's what I think," Janet said, flipping the folder back a bit. "Another thing is to find Maya dorant's investigation team. When she reported to me recently, the leader of their team said that she felt someone was watching us."
Simon squinted, took a handwritten report from Janet and asked, "Neil, don't they usually find this?"
Janet shook her head and said, "Neil, they're just bodyguards. It's OK to help you avoid and shake the paparazzi when you steal food, but they're not professional agents after all. Some things can't be discovered naturally."
