Chapter 392

"This is the information of Latin American children who drew the special thank-you letter at the beginning. She is from Brazil. Her name is Karina Rosa. She is 11 years old this year. Unfortunately, the girl dropped out of school last year. Her family is still in difficulties and the value of news coverage is not great."

"The United Nations Children's Fund said that if necessary, they can arrange for the person in charge of receiving the donation to be interviewed by the media."

"I don't think all of these news should be released at one time. It's better to leave most of the information to other media for active mining, otherwise it's easy to be questioned by the public and arranged deliberately."

"And Davis condi, one of the six, wanted to settle. According to the evidence the Santa Monica police now have, even if the parties do not admit it, it is enough to prove their crime. However, it will be more secure to accept reconciliation and let the other party take the initiative to confess the truth of the original incident. "

“……”

“……”

Maribu, in a conference room at the shell house of domay point estate.

The team of lawyers and the public relations team responsible for the attack four years ago sat around the wide conference table, talking to each other.

Janet sits in the center of one side of the table, with George Norman, the head of the legal team, and pat Kingsley, the head of the public relations team, on the left and right.

After patiently listening to other people's comments in the conference room, Janet directly said, "tomorrow, we will arrange the Los Angeles Times to report the cause and effect of the $500000. However, don't let go completely afterwards. We will continue to guide other media to dig out more detailed inside information and provide them with materials when necessary."

Today is December 27, Thursday.

These days, the investigation and public opinion about the attack four years ago are totally on Simon's side. However, Janet, who has been thoroughly angered, has not relaxed at all.

In order to prevent everything Simon has now from being associated with Matthew Broderick's "dirty money" used for reconciliation, in the face of media comments, Janet patiently did not immediately disclose the truth. Instead, she asked people to carefully collect all the information about the original fund donated to the United Nations Children's fund until an indisputable chain of evidence was clarified. This is very important This time I decided to make it public.

The reason why she was so cautious was that Janet understood that if she only relied on a "special thank you note" which was still in the shell villa of domay point manor, it would be counterproductive if she could not find any concrete evidence afterwards.

At the end of the day, it's hard to believe that a penniless kid would have donated half a million dollars without hesitation.

After continuing to discuss the $500000 issue with the public, Janet finally swept around the faces of the public in the conference room and said, "as for reconciliation, don't let me hear such suggestions again. I don't accept reconciliation. I'll let those bastards go to jail and lose all their money."

Feeling that Janet's tone was cold and unquestionable, others were a little bit silent, and the lawyer who just proposed to accept the settlement could not help but shrink his neck.

When Janet finished, seeing that no one spoke again, she looked down at the memo in front of her and confirmed that she had not forgotten anything else. She closed her notebook and said, "well, that's all for today's meeting."

Everyone in the conference room got up and left. George Norman and pat Kingsley stayed for the last time and discussed some trifles with Janet. George Norman finally asked with a smile, "Jennie, you and Simon should not be absent from the party at danelis studios tonight, right?"

Because it's the end of the year. Although it's a weekday, there are almost all kinds of parties in Hollywood these days. Denise entertainment also arranged a party in Denise studio tonight to thank the filmmakers who worked with Denise entertainment this year.

She was very familiar in private. Janet was not serious at the meeting just now. She looked at her watch and said, "Simon said that he would be back at seven o'clock. I'm sure he'll be there for a while."

After Christmas, Simon returned from the east coast. In recent days, he went to San Francisco to discuss the development plan of 1991 with the senior management of several companies, such as igritte.

As Jennifer's uncle, George Norman naturally knew about it. His niece, who had been staying at his home, also went to San Francisco with Simon these days.

Both George Norman and the parents of the assistant know the relationship between Jennifer and Simon.

Before Simon and Janet got married, rebolds expected their daughter to snatch Simon. After the wedding at the beginning of the year, because of Simon's increasing personal wealth and power, for various reasons, rebolds almost acquiesced in the unclear relationship between Simon and his daughter.

With this in mind, George Norman would not mention it in front of Janet, saying, "I'll be there tonight, and I'm going to introduce some friends to Simon."

"Sure," Janet nodded. "If you need an extra invitation, you can call Amy directly."

George Norman shook his head and said with a smile, "you don't have to trouble Pascal with such a small thing."Seeing off George Norman and pat Kingsley, Janet went back to the villa and called Simon, who said there was still an hour to get on the plane. After a few words, Janet called the AB girls who stayed at home to accompany her to the cloakroom on the third floor to prepare for the party tonight.

San Francisco. He stayed at igritte's headquarters until six o'clock in the afternoon. Simon finally rushed to the airport to return to Los Angeles.

In addition to the assistant, the housekeeper Alice Ferguson and Los Angeles Times reporter Peter Butler, whom Simon had known for a long time, were accompanying this time.

After the new year, Peter Butler will officially leave the Los Angeles Times and join igritte, which is mainly responsible for the news and finance sections of igritte portal.

After AOL signed exclusive agreements with three major operators, the growth rate of World Wide Web users increased again in the last quarter of 1990. With the growth of World Wide Web access users in other regions taken into account, so far, the number of Internet users relying on the world wide web has officially broken through the million mark, which is even faster than Simon's best prediction Color.

As a result, Simon has readjusted his plan and plans to launch his efforts in the Internet field at the beginning of next year.

Igrit, AOL and Cisco, the three core companies of Simon's Internet layout, have been discussing various plans for next year since last month. In addition, it was also last month that igritte started to build another two million user level data centers on the East and west coasts respectively, which are expected to be put into operation in mid January next year.

The middle of January 1991 was just the time when the Gulf War broke out.

The cloud computing program has been advancing secretly. However, because it involves many technical problems that need to be solved, it will take enough time, but many of igritte's other programs can't wait.

Once the two data centers under construction are completed, the total user capacity of igritte data center will reach 5 million level, which will definitely be used up in the short term. Therefore, igritte will start the one-stop website solution plan proposed by Carol Bartz last year in advance to provide server space and website solutions for commercial users who intend to develop Internet site business Case.

The early implementation of this business plan can not only increase igrit's revenue, but also further enrich Internet content resources.

However, this is only one of the development plans finalized in recent days.

In addition to Carol Bartz's plan, starting early next year, igritte will make efforts in both media and social fields. Peter Butler's joining is one of them. In addition, in recent months, Jeff Bezos has been looking for outstanding media people in various fields to join igritte.

After Simon's plan to cooperate with Hurst group failed a few months ago, igritte completely abandoned the plan of relying on other media platforms to obtain information and began to build its own news media team.

In January next year, in fact, a few days later, the new version of the igrit portal will be officially launched.

At that time, igrit portal will not only launch the first generation of simple search engine function, which has been secretly developed for one year, but also expand the media layout to 11 channels including news, finance, sports, entertainment, fashion, science and technology, including news channel, domestic news, international news, picture news and other sub channels.

In the field of social networking, after a year's technical accumulation, igritte's personal homepage will be divided into two categories: column blog and micro blog, and the user groups will be subdivided.

At the same time, in order to guide the enthusiasm of users to use the blog, igrit will hold various types of online activities with cash or gift rewards every month in the next year.

In addition, the e-mail, forum and online games of igrit portal will be revised one after another. Simon's e-commerce business, which is entrusted to the housekeeper, will also be tested in the next year.

The number of users has reached the level of one million. Although it is difficult to obtain considerable revenue as the same level of newspaper media, it is also a media platform that can not be underestimated. Moreover, Simon also hopes to achieve the goal of breaking through the 5 million mark of World Wide Web users in 1991 through the next year's efforts.

As long as the number of users reaches 5 million, with the subsequent growth of users, igrit portal can start to build a perfect Internet business ecosystem with profit potential.

In order to achieve this goal, Simon made no budget limit for igritte this year.

Simon is willing to pay as long as he can make corresponding achievements, even if Jeff Bezos and Carol Bartz spend 500 million or even 1 billion dollars in the next year.

In the original time and space, many Unicorn enterprises in the Internet era have lost tens of billions of dollars for several years, and may end up with nothing. In contrast, Simon's money burning investments are worth the money. After the outbreak of the Internet industry, these technologies and content accumulation can be quickly converted into real market value only through IPO.

As long as Simon is willing to cash out his shares, he can easily recover all his early investment.The same is true of AOL, except for igritte.

Simon's promise not to lay off staff after completing the acquisition of Bell Atlantic is not only to start the layout in the new telecom field of mobile communications, but also to support AOL.

Bell Atlantic won. Although the company will not set foot in Internet access service in the near future, it will further deepen its cooperation with AOL. Several states on the east coast where Bell Atlantic is located will be the key expansion targets of AOL next year.

Also starting next month, AOL will launch a large-scale free trial service.

As long as users make an appointment to access the Internet, they don't need to pay a cent. AOL will install it at their door, and they can experience up to three hours of free surfing time every day for a month. The first phase of the campaign will last at least three months.

That said, AOL's timing is just right.

For that reason, the Gulf War will break out next month.

Back in the cabin in Los Angeles, Simon has been discussing it with Peter Butler.

"Although the Internet media platform has just been born, it has obvious advantages over newspapers and TV.

For a big event like the war in the Gulf region, daily newspapers can't provide instant information. Although 24-hour news channels like CNN can provide instant reports, they can't retain information. Users can't stay in front of the TV 24 hours a day.

Relatively speaking, portal website can solve these two problems to a great extent.

We can not only achieve instant, but also long-term preservation of news information, users can log on to the network at any time, not only can see the current news, but also can browse the past events. What's more, the portal website can provide more content than newspapers and TV. As long as we can seize this opportunity next month, igritt portal's media business will definitely be popular. "

In the history of media, many news platforms have emerged.

Just as the Hurst family used their own media network to incite the Spanish American war, the sales of their own newspapers increased significantly during that period. In the original time and space, fox news broke CNN's strong position in the US news channel at one stroke through its all-round and timely coverage of the September 11 incident.

The coming Gulf War is a good opportunity for the development of igritte portal.

Peter Butler is still ridiculed for his report on Simon a few years ago, and is suspected of over praising westero. His promotion in the Los Angeles Times in recent years is obvious to all.

However, for the Los Angeles Times, which has a history of 100 years, it is not only enough ability to climb to the top of the company.

Therefore, after Simon contacted him personally to join igritt portal, Peter Butler quickly decided to give up his promoted position as deputy editor in chief of the Department and join this new media platform, which is responsible for news and finance.

As a media man, Peter Butler is very clear about the importance of news and finance. Although he has not been able to get control of more channels, he also knows that Simon's invitation is sincere. What's more, Peter Butler didn't think that his original report on Simon made him get the job.

This young man, who has created a series of miracles, can fully afford the report. Moreover, if he can achieve his present achievements, he will definitely not hire someone just because of a report praising himself.

When Simon finished, Peter Butler said, "Simon, I've thought about it. Around the middle of next month, I plan to go to Saudi Arabia to follow up this incident myself."

Simon listened to Butler's words, with a look of appreciation in his eyes, and said, "no problem, but you need to arrange things in North America."

The two people kept discussing that the plane soon landed on the runway of Los Angeles International Airport.

Outside the side window, it's getting dark.

After leaving Peter Butler and rushing back to domay point manor, Simon changes his clothes and goes to the party with Janet at danelis studios. It's already past 7:30.

The couple appeared in the hall of the activity center of the movie city, and naturally became the focus of attention.

At last, he came to the small circle of studio leaders. Just after greeting, Peter Cooper, CEO of Columbia Pictures, couldn't help saying, "Simon, the box office of home is really unexpected."

When Peter Cooper mentioned the subject, everyone looked at Simon with different expressions.

In the coming week, Hollywood's biggest box office dark horse is undoubtedly "kid in charge" released on December 21.

The box office of this children's comedy, which is incomparably in line with the festive atmosphere, reached 26.15 million US dollars in three days from December 21 to December 23. This was not much, but the popularity and box office momentum of "home by the kid" continued to rise on weekdays.

After a short period of low tide on Christmas Eve on Monday, the box office figures of "home by kid" on Tuesday and Wednesday are far higher than expected. Although today's Box Office figures will not be released until after 12 o'clock, the industry generally predicts that the box office of "home by kid" in the first week will definitely exceed 40 million US dollars.After careful calculation, this will be the second movie in 1990 to break the box office of 40 million a week after "die hard 2".

However, the box office curve of "die hard 2" fell more than 50% in the next week, obviously can't be compared with the popularity of "kid in charge".

Before that, referring to John Hughes's past box office results, some people thought that the total box office of "home by the kid" in North America might be only $40 million. As a result, the first week was more than 40 million, and no one could even expect such data from Denise entertainment.

Originally, Hollywood had generally believed that "ghost is still alive" would be the first box office winner in 1990 and the only film with a domestic box office exceeding $200 million in 1990.

Now, with the popularity of the current public, it is likely to break the box office figure of ghost and take the first place at the box office in 1990.
