Chapter 537: 539

Neil Brantley introduced the basic technical details of iPlayer. While playing with a prototype the size of Sony Walkman, Simon asked C girl, "what's the cost?"

Claire Gein said: "the micro hard disk used in the prototype has not been mass produced, and other parts need to be customized according to the future confirmed finished models. The approximate cost should be controlled at about $200."

Simon shook his head slightly. "It's a little high."

Once the digital music player comes out, the direct competitor is your walkman. The price of walkman in North America is about $300. Since you want to compete, the starting price of iPlayer should also be set at $299. To achieve this goal, the hardware cost of the player should be controlled within $150, so as to leave enough marketing and profit space for tincobail and all levels of distribution retailers.

Now, the cost of hardware is $200. To ensure the promotion and profit of the machine, the retail price needs to be set at $400.

Claire understood why Simon said this, and said: "in recent years, hard disk technology and thin film liquid crystal technology have developed rapidly, and the cost is also declining. If we launch the official product next year, the cost should be lower. Simon, I think the biggest obstacle to the promotion of this machine is music copyright. "

Simon nodded. He was very impressed by the wisdom and courage of apple and the major record giants in his memory.

Record giants are no less conservative than Hollywood.

Denise entertainment already has universal records.

However, if only this record company can provide content support, it is obviously not enough. All major record giants in the world must join the camp of digital music players.

When Sony launched the VCR, it was directly sued by Hollywood studios. In the end, although it won the lawsuit, it lost the market.

Once the digital music player is launched, record giants will definitely not rebound much less than Hollywood studios after the emergence of video recorders in order to protect the interests of physical records and related hardware fields.

The original time line, the rise of the Internet industry in the late 1990s, because of the wanton spread of Internet pirated music, the record industry once suffered a serious impact. Out of the instinctive hostility to the Internet, the major record giants are unwilling to promote legitimate music on the Internet platform, which further leads to the proliferation of piracy.

In Simon's view, if the major record giants can unite to promote legitimate music through Internet channels, even if piracy is still inevitable, the impact of the Internet on the record industry will not be so serious. On the contrary, even in the western society, which has a strong sense of consumption and copyright, once it is used to the pirated music on the Internet platform, it will be more difficult to charge for it.

AOL is upgrading its ADSL Technology for its network services. In the next few years, other Internet service providers will only follow up.

When the technology upgrade is completed, the average user's network speed reaches the lowest level of 256K, and it takes only two or three minutes to download an MP3 music. At that time, pirated music on the Internet will be popularized rapidly.

To avoid the impact of Internet pirated music on the record industry, the best way is to provide a legitimate music sales platform.

It's like the video industry.

If Hollywood had resolutely resisted the popularity of video recorders, there would not have been the huge output value of the video industry, which is twice the box office of the film.

However, it's easy to understand the truth. It's not so easy for conservative record giants to follow the trend.

In the final analysis, it's still interests.

Sony used to be the most staunch opponent of Internet digital music. The key is that Sony not only owns Columbia Records, but also has considerable hardware interests in tape player, CD player and other fields.

Simon frowned as he thought of the obstacles he might face in promoting digital music players in the future, and soon relaxed again.

It's nothing more than soldiers coming to cover the water and the earth.

Since it is determined that digital music is the inevitable development trend of the whole record industry, we should firmly go on.

I don't care what other people do.

What's more, I don't have no chips.

With this in mind, Simon made up his mind to focus more on danielis Entertainment's record business next. In the past two years, most of his attention has been on film and other business fields. Although he took over universal records, this subsidiary has not made much progress.

Tincobail's main product is still digital cameras.

The development of digital music player is just to complete the patent layout ahead of time. If you want to launch a formal product, it will be until next year at the earliest.

People continued to discuss some problems, and it was time to get off work unconsciously.

Girl c offers to have dinner together. Simon agrees.

As soon as Simon got into his car parked on the side of the road, the petite figure of Jennifer berry came to stop the bodyguard who wanted to close the door. He leaned forward and looked expectantly at the man in the car: "Simon, can I take your car?"Simon originally wanted to explain something to girl A. seeing the little girl coming, he didn't refuse and said with a smile, "good."

The man's voice fell, and the little girl immediately got on the car, as if worried about being robbed of her position.

In fact, girl a is right behind her. She was supposed to be in the same car with Simon. Seeing this, Alison smiles at Simon in the car, points to girl c, and turns away.

The bodyguard is outside closing the door.

Inside the car, little Jennie fumbled awkwardly and finally opened the baffle between the rear car and the front driver's seat.

Simon looked at the goblin beside him and said with a smile, "you can hear it."

"As long as you can't see it," said Jennifer, with a little cunning in her eyes

"Simon, will you stay in San Francisco tonight?" he asked

Simon turned off the phone connected to the driver's seat, shaking his head and saying, "no, you have to go home on time at night."

Little Jennie pasted a note on Simon again, holding the man's arm and shaking it slightly: "but you used to stay in San Francisco?"

"It's different this time," Simon said with a smile as he looked at the girl wrapped around him and said, "it's awkward. It's flat. I don't feel it at all."

Little Jane is not inferiority, chin knock on Simon's shoulder, ah girl's unique light fragrance, with a little seduction, whispered: "in fact, small also has small benefits, you touch ah, I'm only 12 years old, very exciting."

When two thin lips were in his ears, Simon was really stimulated by the fake Laurie, who claimed to be 12 years old but was actually 20 years old.

It took the car less than five minutes to reach a nearby restaurant.

After getting out of the car, everyone noticed that her face was red, as if she had just experienced something.

However, even though everyone realized what had just happened, the little girl wisely didn't stick to Simon as she did in the car. Instead, she went to girl c with a low eyebrow and took Claire's arm, as if she were with her big sister, a shy little sister.

This kind of cover up is very effective. Except for a and C girls and Neil Brantley, no one in the restaurant showed any special look on the girl's face.

After dinner, Simon didn't stay in San Francisco.

Looking at Simon's car to leave, and Neil Brantley respectively, C girl and little Jane together on a white BMW car.

Girl c rented a house in the rich area of Atherton in the north of Palo Alto. Although it can't be compared with Woodside's mountain mansion, it is also very spacious. The courtyard covers an area of more than 600 square meters. The two-story European style villa has four bedrooms and six bathrooms inside. There is no shortage of gym, projection room and private wine cellar.

I have been with Simon for several years. Although I can't buy it yet, it's more than enough to rent such an apartment.

In fact, when she chose to rent this apartment, girl c had the idea that Simon might come to stay.

It's just that men have never been here.

I didn't expect that some goblin could succeed.

I started the car and drove to Atherton District in the twilight. I looked at little Jennie who was no different next to me. After a pause, girl C could not help but joked and asked, "only five minutes?"

Five minutes?

"How could Simon be so useless?" she said

C girl felt the instinctive protection of a man in little Jennie's voice, shrugged and asked, "what have you done?"

Little Janet was a little disappointed again and said, "it's just a kiss."

Said also reached out in his jeans outlined twice, some regret, today should not wear tight jeans. The man wants to go in the car, because his clothes are too tight, and he can't succeed. I don't know if he will be disappointed.

Girl c glanced at little Jennie's expression and continued to look ahead.

In fact, they are envious.

At first, I spent a lot of time with Simon. Occasionally, I took the initiative, but I never succeeded.

Now, completely left Simon's side, there will certainly be no chance in the future.

For her boss, girl c knows very well that both her ABCD and Alice, the housekeeper, are very greedy.

Such a dazzling man, powerful to the utmost, as long as it is a woman, probably will inevitably heart.

I still remember one time in New York, I accidentally bumped into girl a, while watching my boss's boxing video of ten consecutive Ko players in the Australian boxing ring, satisfying myself. Later, I copied a copy of that video, occasionally fantasizing about being severely trampled by my boss.

Driving through the streets of San Francisco, girl c felt a little feverish when she thought of this.After leaving the westrow family, she started her own business and has hundreds of millions of wealth. Now she has a large group of pursuers. It's just that Claire can't help comparing the men who pursue themselves with her boss, and then she's a bit uninterested.

If you want to get along with those mediocre men, it's better to be single.

So I'm still single until now.

The two women in the carriage fell into their own thoughts and stopped talking for a while.

On the other hand, Simon got on the plane and didn't waste half an hour from San Francisco to Los Angeles.

A girl with coffee into the Boeing 767 front cabin office, Simon is holding a pencil in his notebook constantly writing something.

Pour a cup of coffee for Simon and put it on the man's hand. Girl a is about to turn around and leave, but Simon stops her.

The man gave a command, but did not look up for a moment and continued to focus on her work. Alison sat down quietly on the sofa next to the porthole, waiting for Simon's enrichment.

Simon continued to enumerate in his notebook for a moment, and finally tore off a page of paper, saying: "help me collect information about these technologies, including major manufacturers, patent distribution, industrial scale, etc., as detailed as possible."

Alison agreed, got up, took the page and looked at it.

It's a list of technical terms.

Mechanical hard disk, flash memory, thin film LCD, battery, arm, touch screen

Today, I've been with Simon all day. Girl a knows that many of these are technologies involved in digital music player. On the other hand, although she didn't quite understand, Alison didn't ask much. Seeing that Simon had picked up a play to read, girl a quietly turned around and left the office.

Behind the desk, looking at a play in his hand, Simon is still sorting out today's work in his mind.

Once the $1.5 billion financing plan of igritte company is completed, how to plan the money has not been finalized in the small meeting in the afternoon.

However, the first step is to build an exclusive igritte office park.

Simon doesn't have much preference for building a luxurious headquarters building, which is mainly due to the need for confidentiality.

Igritte has expanded so rapidly that the company has never stopped recruiting. Now it has more than 5300 employees. Because of the lack of a unified office space, more than 5000 employees can only be scattered in different offices.

Scattered office space, resulting in poor communication between the team is also the second, the most critical is to greatly increase the difficulty of enterprise confidentiality.

Igritte launched cloud computing last year. In the process of practical application, only igritte's own business and closely related blockbuster online can enjoy the real-time flexible space rental treatment, because its technology is still improving. At the same time, it avoids the traditional server and data center manufacturers' rapid follow-up and the consideration of obtaining more revenue, and ordinary customers are generally satisfied They can only enjoy similar services to traditional server rental vendors.

The difference is that compared with traditional server leasing, igrit's leasing service is cheaper and more convenient in terms of capacity expansion.

Even if it is so low-key, many details of igritte cloud computing technology have been discovered by other manufacturers and started to follow up accordingly.

To a large extent, the problem is that the confidentiality system of igritte company is not perfect, and the scattered office space is also a major obstacle to the strict confidentiality measures of igritte company.
