Simon was reading through the business plan in his hand with two minds, when there was a sound in his ear again, and the d-girl Deborah Lipman also walked in.

Signaling Deborah to sit down on the other side, Simon raised the business plan of Lady C in his hand and asked with a smile, "Do you have an idea?"

Deborah shook her head embarrassedly: "Not yet."

As girl D said, she couldn't help but glanced at Simon's other side, worried that Claire would expose herself.

In fact, Girl D has also come up with a business plan, and she hopes to set up a make-up company.

It's just that after the business plan was submitted to the Vase Fund team affiliated with Cersei Capital, it did not pass the review at all and was quickly called back.

Janet also said that girls can only submit proposals once every six months. If all the proposals submitted during the five-year contract period fail to pass, the 10 million investment will be forgotten.

Moreover, Janet also forbids them to disturb Simon with the failed plan.

Once found, just get out of here.

After the initial excitement, the girls quickly discovered that the money of the Westeros family was not easy to get at all.

Simon didn't know the details behind these, so he didn't know that, apart from the two plans closely related to Igret by the housekeeper Alice Ferguson, the only thing that passed during this time was the C-girl's card camera plan.

The business plan in hand, market research, prospect forecast, investment budget, development cycle, operation ideas and other core points are clearly explained.

In some of the accompanying materials, C girl has even reached an agreement with a senior engineer of the camera giant Kodak who focuses on the research and development of digital cameras.

As long as the project plan can be passed, the engineer will leave Kodak and set up a company with C girl. The other party focuses on camera research and development, and C girl is responsible for the company's financial marketing and other affairs. The two share 25% of the company's shares. Vase Fund Put in $1 million and get the remaining 50%.

A card camera is actually a consumer-grade digital camera, as opposed to a professional-grade SLR digital camera.

The top SLR digital camera of this age has a maximum pixel of more than 1.5 million, and the price is naturally as expensive as the camera that Simon gave to Sandra at the beginning, and it is not without tens of thousands of dollars.

However, the card camera that C girl intends to develop is only 100,000 pixels with a resolution of 320*320.

This picture quality level is absolutely sufficient for personal computers in the early 1990s, because the resolution of mainstream personal computer monitors is probably the same level, even if it is a few years later, it is mainly used for sending network pictures. 100,000 pixel card machine is not outdated.

Since it is a complete Internet camera, naturally it does not need to take into account the quality of printing and printing.

Moreover, the original core sensor of digital cameras, compared with the mainstream CCD sensor in this era, C girl also intends to use the CMOS sensor that has been marginalized.

Both the ccd sensor and the cmos sensor were born in the 1960s and have decades of development history at this time.

The advantages and disadvantages of the two sensors are also very clear. The CCD sensor has relatively good image quality, but the process is complex, expensive, and consumes a lot of power. The imaging quality of cmos is low, the advantages are simple process and low energy consumption, and most importantly, the price is cheap.

Of course, even if the process of cmos is simple, it cannot be developed with a mere $1 million investment.

The main components of the camera that C Girl plans to develop will be purchased and customized from the corresponding manufacturers. To put it bluntly, it is an assembly machine.

Of course, even the iPhone in Simon's memory, according to this line of thinking, is actually just an assembly machine.

The senior engineer who planned to leave Kodak was mainly responsible for developing the camera's control system, combining a series of components into a whole, and optimizing the card machine cost range.

With the plan in Simon's hands, Lady C hopes to control the cost of the planned card camera at around $300 and the sales price at $500 on the basis of ensuring certain image quality and functions. $500 is still a bit expensive for a compact camera with simple functions, but it is also within the spending power of middle-class users with Internet access in this era.

Moreover, as long as the market demand is large enough to achieve economies of scale, costs and selling prices can certainly be further reduced.

The $1 million investment in the first stage is mainly used for prototype development and production of the first batch of products to test the water. C Girl also plans to conduct marketing directly through the Internet platform, which can save costs as much as possible.

If the market feedback meets expectations, a second round of financing will be made from the Vase Fund.

The duration of the entire business plan is 3 months.

After reading the business plan in his hand, Simon found that he could not make more suggestions for a while.

Girl C's idea is absolutely right. Even if this attempt fails, she has the foresight to select the cmos sensor, which is enough for Simon to support her to continue trying.

CMOS sensor, but the mainstream sensor for camera phones later.

It can be said that this card machine plan is similar to the camera phone that has been widely involved in many manufacturers after many years.

Moreover, whether it is this card camera or the camera phone in memory, it is people's desire to express. It's just that after many years, everyone turns directly to

The mobile social platform was developed. At this time, this card machine focuses on the pc social platform.

Now that Simon has launched its social network business on the PC side in advance, this card camera at this time definitely has a very considerable market potential.

Think about it, when you're at a party, when you're traveling, when you're with your kids, when you're playing with your pets... just take a picture with your card camera, pull out a floppy disk, transfer it directly to your computer and upload it to the Internet, and Everyone shares the little things in their lives and gets likes and comments from many people around them, which can definitely bring social pleasure and satisfaction.

If the card camera is popularized, users can upload a large number of pictures, and the content resources of the Internet can be quickly enriched.

Closing the business plan in his hand, Simon hesitated for a while. He didn't say anything about his intention to give additional support to this business plan, or waited for Girl C to come up with the results. So I just asked: "Is the 3-month R\u0026D period a little too late?"

Claire shook her head and said, "Neil has already completed a simple prototype in private, and submitted his own proposal to Kodak. It's just that Kodak has always paid little attention to the digital camera business. The three months were mainly for the purpose of The prototype is further optimized, as well as the custom procurement and assembly of components.”

The Neil girl C said was named Neil Brantley was the senior engineer who planned to leave Kodak.

Simon thought about it for a moment, then quickly relieved.

Many electronic products in daily life are actually not as high-end as imagined. Apple's first batch of personal computers was actually a group of founders who pooled money to buy components and welded them together in the garage.

Because it sold well, I got the investment later.

Neil Brantley developed the compact camera in his spare time, much like when Steve Wozniak invented the personal computer.

It is really not difficult for a technical expert with profound professional skills to develop some electronic products by himself.

What's more, a compact camera is technically much simpler than a professional-grade DSLR.

In Simon's memory, technology developed to the point where ordinary people could DIY digital cameras by buying accessories, just like assembling a personal computer. Of course, digital cameras that come out of DIY are definitely far from being comparable to professional cameras.

"In this case, it's just the business plan itself, so I don't have any suggestions for you," Simon handed the folder back to Claire, "However, maybe you can develop an image processing software. Since this camera is only a For a consumer-level basic model, the imaging effect is definitely not very good. It is definitely very practical to develop an image processing software that allows users to perform simple functions such as image cropping, brightness adjustment, or adding text.”

Claire is very confident in her business plan. She is not like some other girls who hurriedly come up with a plan just to get investment as soon as possible, so she did a lot of meticulous work in the early stage.

I brought it tonight, just to let my boss know that I am doing this.

However, after hearing the suggestion of the image processing software, C girl still shines.

Since it is a consumer-level compact camera, for the sake of cost, many professional camera functions have to be discarded, which will inevitably result in poor image quality. Secondary processing and repair through computer software is indeed an excellent way to make up for the shortcomings of this camera.

However, Girl C quickly said again: "But, boss, this requires extra time and budget."

Simon vaguely remembers that photoshop software appeared in the last few years.

However, the planned image processing software definitely does not need complicated functions like ps, and prefers Meitu Xiuxiu in memory.

"You can first ask in Silicon Valley if anyone has developed similar software. If so, you can directly cooperate with each other, which can save software development time. If not, apply for an additional budget."

Simon and Claire were chatting, and Deborah on the other side was just worried about Lady C exposing herself. Seeing that she was completely ignored at this time, she couldn't help but feel a little bit of a snack. She pretended to listen carefully, but her body squeezed to Simon's side from time to time. .

If you can "raider" your own boss, the potential value can be far more than 10 million US dollars.

Like Jennifer Leibold.

The one who was obviously just the boss's lover was treated like the hostess in front of the boss, even more jealous than the hostess, and would often drive them away from the boss mercilessly.

While talking to Claire, Simon wanted to take a drink from the cup at hand, but his arm touched the chin of the D girl who was almost touching him.

Of course I understand the girl's mind.

Picking up on Deborah's delicate chin, he picked up the water glass.

The vases around me are good enough in their own skins. After joining the job, they still enjoy the expensive daily maintenance and care that ordinary wealthy wives can afford. Indeed, they can all be described as "exquisite".

Deborah was caught by Simon's chin, but she shrank subconsciously, her face was slightly red, but she quickly leaned over quietly.

Simon took a few sips of water, put down the cup and felt the soft body next to him, smiled, and said, "That's all for tonight, let's go and rest."

Deborah said, "Boss, do you want to take a shower?"

"I've already washed it."

"It doesn't matter if you wash it again," Deborah's eyes flowed and said:

"I'll go get you some water, okay?"

"not good."

Simon said and stood up, smiled and stretched out his hand in front of Lady D: "Come on, kiss Ann."

Deborah held Simon's hand cooperatively, kissed the back of the man's hand, and said, "Good night, master."

"So nice."

With a compliment, Simon turned around and left the computer room.

Watching her boss disappear, Lady D retracted her gaze, noticed that Lady C was staring at her, and raised her chin slightly: "What's wrong?"

Lady C pouted and commented, "Missing trouble."

Girl D didn't care, she didn't even hide it, and said, "If you can climb into the boss's bed, it will be more effective than doing a hundred projects."

"Did you climb up?"

"Aren't you still working hard," Girl D said, complaining again: "If you were together just now, maybe we would have succeeded."

Claire didn't have any distaste for Deborah's absurd suggestion. In fact, it wasn't that she didn't try it, but she just said, "Then what?"

"What and then?"

"After climbing into the boss's bed."

Deborah tilted her head.

yes.

This is indeed a very serious question.

As they worked with Simon, they also came into contact with a lot of anecdotes from the upper echelons of the circle.

There are countless cases of nanny counterattacks and become hostess. For example, Robin Williams, who has become popular in recent years, had an affair with the nanny at home, and then abandoned his wife who had been with him for ten years. It is said that caa flowers It took a lot of effort not to damage Robin Williams' public image too much.

only.

Deborah realized that trying to grab that position with Janet didn't seem to be too difficult.

Even if Janet is squeezed out, there is still a Jennifer.

The best state is to be his lover.

Thinking of this, Lady D held her chin and couldn't help but murmured: "Actually, it's just that the maid's life now, I want to continue like this, it seems that it is not bad to be the boss's lover."

Claire rolled her eyes, turned off the computer, put away her files, and walked out.

Deborah got up and followed step by step, "Ah, Claire, am I right?"

"right."

"So, let's work together. For a man like the boss, it's not enough to have only two or three lovers. We still have many opportunities."

"You climb into the boss's bed first."

"Or let's go directly to the master bedroom."

"go alone."

"My own success rate is too low, so it's more attractive to be together. Well, isn't it the boss's birthday soon? We can say that it's a door-to-door birthday gift."

"..."

Claire simply ignored the thoughts around her.

After being with Simon for a long time, Claire gradually understood the temperament of her boss.

For example, the boss actually doesn't like a beautiful vase with just a pair of delicate skins. Putting them by his side is more just for pleasing the eyes, and there is not much physical desire.

It's just that although the four girls abcd are relatively close, Claire definitely doesn't plan to share these little personal insights with the others.

In the next few days, Simon simply compiled a memorandum to create a hardware ecosystem around PCs through a new data interface and submitted it to Igret, and asked Bezos and Butts to start looking for relevant technical talents.

The delivery integration of mca is also proceeding in an orderly manner.

In the blink of an eye, it's February 22.

It happens to be Friday.

Compared to Simon's arrogance at his 20th birthday party, this birthday party was much more low-key.

Of course, with Simon's increasingly different wealth and power now, although he wanted to keep a low profile as much as possible, this birthday party still attracted much attention.

Simon did not intend to open the Dumay Point Manor, and the birthday party venue was chosen at the mansion halfway up the hill in Palisades, just like when he was 20 years old.

Such a decision disappointed many of the partygoers, and the villa occupying Cape Dumay has been the object of envy and discussion since its inception. However, that disappointment seems irrelevant when you consider those who have tried everything to get a birthday party invitation and can't get it.

Party time is seven o'clock in the evening.

Before six o'clock in the afternoon, many guests had gathered from all over Los Angeles to the halfway up the hillside of Palisades, a western suburb of Los Angeles.
