More than a decade later, the WiFi in Starbucks and McDonald's stores will be free. Tinkerbell wants to provide Mini Internet bar function in Starbucks chain stores. It's a question whether the charge and cost will be borne by any side. Moreover, the reason why she submitted the plan to Simon, C girl also hopes that igritte can participate in and share the cost together.
If a few years ago, in order to let more people access the Internet, igritte would be happy to do so.
Even now, Silicon Valley's new technology giants are constantly pushing for more people to connect to the Internet, just like Facebook, Google and other companies used to do. However, this scheme is relatively more in line with Tinkerbell's interests and does not promote igritte much, so it is not so enthusiastic.
Simon came directly from the airport to 66 Street on the west side to attend a meeting at 10 a.m. and entered a meeting room in the east coast headquarters building. There was still some time left for the meeting. He wrote down his opinions on the paper in a hurry.
Simon didn't approve of the plan.
If it is only to provide convenient upload interface for ICAM, IREC, iPlayer and other users, Tinkerbell does not need to cooperate with Starbucks, but can provide dedicated network upload equipment for Tinkerbell products, such as vending machines or public telephone booths, in public places with large traffic, and design a special closed system to only provide application services for related products It can improve the application efficiency of the device to a great extent.
In contrast, setting up mini Internet bar in Starbucks must provide complete PC Internet access function, and Starbucks users may not necessarily use it to connect to dinkbail products. Or, if it is targeted closed system equipment, it must pay Starbucks authorization fee.
No need.
If the plan is rejected, cooperation with igritte will be avoided.
Finally, Simon suddenly remembered that she reminded C girl in her note that she could start the acquisition of apple. This is Simon's long established plan, and now apple is in the most depressed state of the company. If he wins apple, westero system can obtain a large number of core patents on the underlying operating system. While tincobail expands its own hardware product line and global operation team, it can also take advantage of Apple's system technology to develop a new model in the shortest time The private network upload device of the closed system.
There's more than one stone.
After writing the notes, give them to the girl a and pass them to Silicon Valley. It's 10 o'clock.
Robert egger and other danielis entertainment West Coast core are basically sitting. This meeting mainly discusses the US $9 billion broadcasting cooperation between ESPN and the American Football League. Now, the matter has finally come to an end. The final details of this meeting are finalized, and the agreement is expected to be formally signed and announced next Monday.
Simon certainly can't be absent from the $9 billion contract, which also concerns the future of ESPN.
However, Simon didn't cut in too much during the two-hour meeting in the morning. He was not keen on sports all the time and tried his best to avoid the layman guiding the expert.
At the end of the morning meeting, I had lunch with Robert egger, Steve Bernstein and others at noon, but I didn't leave afterwards. In the afternoon, I had to participate in the review of the core programs of the major TV stations of Denise Entertainment Television Department, which will be in the coming autumn. I was busy from 1:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.
Today's ABC TV network, USA women's station, a & amp; E-tv network, fashion TV and other core platforms of danilisi's entertainment TV business, such as "Seinfeld", "Desperate Housewives", "sex and the city", and the reality TV series of wife, as well as the super ace "American Idol" series launched by ABC last year, as well as "friends" and "stories of the emergency room" and other dramas that Simon deliberately transferred to other major TV networks, are still very popular Therefore, this year's TV business is generally stable, and Simon is not in a hurry to launch new main programs.
More concerned about the second season of "American Idol.".
This singing reality show, which caused a national Carnival last year, only brought a huge revenue of 860 million US dollars to danielis TV Department in the first quarter of advertising revenue, sponsorship and copyright sales. After eliminating the original 230 million US dollars of production and marketing costs, the gross profit reached 630 million US dollars.
After the end of the first season, the subsequent national tour concerts, related records sales and so on, so far the revenue has exceeded 300 million US dollars. This does not include the indirect promotion of the program to the overall audience of ABC TV network, the development of danielis records, and even other companies in the westero system, such as Tinkerbell.
Because of the original perfect planning, the cost of the second season of "American Idol" which has been started will not increase too much. However, it is expected that the number of episodes will be extended again in the second season, and the project revenue and profit will reach a new high.
After a day's work, she took a helicopter to return to the manor in the northern suburb of Greenwich. For dinner, Becky hope and her fiance mark Shinar, who works for long-term capital management, were invited.
Compared with a, C and D, Simon and B girl have met very few times in the past two years. However, aliya company, founded by B girl, has not slowed down at all. Taking advantage of the tide of new technology and the support of westero system, aliya company's main software, alias, is now in the market More than 260000 subscribers have been developed worldwide.Even though aliya's software products are only one tenth of the price of the pembo terminal, 260000 subscribers can contribute more than US $30 million to aliya's monthly revenue. Considering the continuous growth factor, aliya's annual revenue in 1996 is expected to reach US $400 million.
Compared with the $1 billion revenue of the company, the gap between aliya and its direct competitor is still obvious. However, relying on its huge user base, which has far surpassed that of the company with only over 20000 users, aliya has started its own financial data ecological construction.
In fact, the former Pengbo system was very difficult to use. The reason why Wall Street couldn't do without it was the data ecology. Everyone was trapped in this system, and all data was in this system. If you want to get relevant information, you can only use the Pengbo terminal.
Aliya was only once less than one tenth of the size at the peak of the company, which has already caused a big mess for the company.
In the past two years, the two sides have been engaged in all-round close combat, from software technology to legal proceedings to talent competition. Even when aliya is quietly raising the price of its own software, the company has to take a price reduction strategy to deal with it.
On the other hand, the backstage of aliya, the "goblin", is obviously too hard. After the development of the company, the company deliberately bought back its shares and lost its former partners. Now the company is at an obvious disadvantage in the war.
Although there is no listing plan, in the industry evaluation, aliya company, whose net interest rate can reach more than 20% according to the relatively conservative P / E ratio of 30 times, has a current valuation of about $2.5 billion. If it is really listed, because of aliya's obvious Internet attributes and the high growth of its business, it will not be a problem for its market value to double.
Even in terms of $2.5 billion, B-girl's 15% stake in aliya is worth $375 million.
He is also a new rich man who is close to the threshold of Forbes 400 list.
This dinner didn't discuss much about aliya company. Instead, girl b and her fiance mark Sinar are going to get married in September. Girl a, who has always been very close to girl b in private, got together to have this dinner. It's a kind of early congratulations and blessings.
As for the next wedding, although they sent an invitation at dinner, Simon declined.
If you promise, it's a smash.
It is said that Simon and B, the four girls of a, B, C and D, have nothing to do with each other, but the outsider obviously doesn't believe it.
Even Simon didn't believe it himself.
Yeah.
Have you ever had one? There are too many women. It's a little I can't remember.
Boss!
This is a girl's little grudge when Simon and a chat after seeing off girl B. Then, she finally got a lonely night, and girl a made full use of it.
the next morning, Gemma next door came to have breakfast with her. She saw a person who was rarely planted strawberries in the opposite way. Even though she was a good girl, Gemma could not help rolling her eyes in front of someone several times.
