In order to build a Westeros Tower in Manhattan, modeled after the 'Avengers Building' in memory, Simon has successively bought a block of properties and land between 59th Street and 60th Street east of Madison Avenue in Manhattan in previous years. , a total of six buildings.

The residents in the six buildings could not be emptied at one time in a short period of time. At that time, it was not yet time to build the buildings. Simon took care of those buildings as commercial properties and signed two to three-year leases with most of the residents. .

The leases will expire in the next year or two, and Simon's current wealth is enough to support the construction of the Westeros Tower.

Therefore, when he heard James' question, Simon nodded and explained: "The design of the building has been in progress for the past two years. Now the preparations are started, and the ground will be broken at the end of next year, but the main building will take about five years. Counting the later period When the renovation is officially settled, it is estimated that it is approaching the new millennium. With such a long cycle, even if it needs to invest more than 1 billion US dollars, we can calmly raise funds. "

Maybe every boy has a dream of building a building in his heart.

Rockefeller Center, the Empire State Building, the Petronas Towers, etc., should all have similar motivations behind the scenes.

James couldn't help thinking, knowing that Simon had made up his mind, he still persuaded: "Simon, this is not just a question of funding. Have you ever thought about a 2,000-foot-high building, a hundred-story building, millions of dollars? Square feet of interior space, these are all things that have to be filled.”

"Of course I thought about it, Jim. I also know that many buildings tend to have some tenants identified before construction starts. But it's at least seven or eight years from now before the Westeros Building is actually up and running. So, I I don’t think there’s any need to rush this matter, and it’s possible to find residents as it is built. And, worst of all, our own company can use the building.”

After this meeting, plans for the construction of the Westeros Tower were officially put on the agenda, and Janet was personally responsible for it.

In order to achieve the most perfect architectural effect in every detail of the building, Simon simply did not set a budget limit, and now he has enough confidence to pay more than $1 billion in expenses.

While Simon was busy with business in the Westeros system, this May of 1991, there were other big things going on.

The two major ruling parties in the United States have successively begun to lay out the 1992 US presidential election.

On the Republican side, relying on the momentum gained by the Gulf War, George Bush has almost no suspense to become the Republican candidate for the next presidential election.

On the Democratic side, although it won the mid-term elections in 1990, the Democratic Party is faced with the dilemma of "no generals in Shu", and until now, there has not been any presidential candidate who can compete with George Bush.

As we all know, American politicians participate in presidential elections. Usually, they can only have one chance in a lifetime, not counting re-election.

If you fail, it will be even more difficult to get the party's nomination.

Therefore, some bigwigs in the Democratic Party who have enough prestige and strength and are interested in the presidency have chosen to avoid it because they are afraid of the general trend that George Bush gained from the victory in the Gulf War.

Even if the general trend is on the Republican side, someone will always come forward to fight George Bush.

So, this May, a young politician named Bill Clinton, who served as the governor of Arkansas in the United States, and New York Governor Marlo Gumer, who was too old to wait and see, announced that they would participate in the 1992 US presidential election.

However, what caught Simon's attention the most was the public intention of running for election by Ross Perot, a business tycoon with a fortune of more than $2 billion at the top of the 400 richest list in the United States.

Ross Perot was very dissatisfied with the two major ruling parties in the United States, so he said that he would form his own party to participate in the 1992 presidential election.

Simon remembers very clearly that in the original time and space, George Bush still had the advantage over Bill Clinton despite his domestic reputation plummeting due to internal affairs.

However, it was because Ross Perot, a candidate who was also leaning towards the conservative camp, split a large number of votes from George Bush with a record 19% third camp approval rating, which led to George Bush's re-election defeat. .

There are still some things to say later. Bill Clinton, who had no hope of reaching the top at all, unexpectedly entered the White House. Because of the suspicion of 'improper position', he has been in power for eight years and has always been surrounded by various scandals. Became one of the few presidents in U.S. history to be impeached by Congress.

It's very similar to what Simon remembers as a guy from a completely layman businessman who stepped into the White House unexpectedly.

Coincidentally, the other one who lost the election happened to be Clinton's wife, Hillary Clinton.

Speaking of which, this is probably a kind of political ecology in the United States.

Those veteran political families with deep background or senior politicians who are widely expected to reach the top, such as George Bush at this time, have no similar "troubling".

Although Simon's political layout focuses on Congress, he will not spend too much energy in the White House.

However, this time, Simon still ordered James Raybould to establish contact with the Clintons in private, promising to fully support each other's participation in the campaign.

It would be unwise to make such a promise when Clinton has not yet received the party's nomination.

It's just that the icing on the cake is never as good as the snow

Carbon, if you want to get more, naturally you have to take more risks. Since the focus of the layout is not in the White House, investing in a potential stock that is not optimistic is a matter of course, and it will not have much impact on the Simon and Westeros system.

Greenwich, Connecticut.

Simon is preparing a birthday party at the manor here. Tomorrow is the 8th birthday of Sofia's daughter Gemma Fisher. The apartment Sophia bought in Greenwich was not big, so Janet took the initiative to lend her manor to little Gemma for her birthday party.

Not only that, but tomorrow night there will be a documentary about Antarctica that Janet had promised little Gemma's birthday present at the manor.

The documentary began production last year, and was eventually named "Frozen World" with a budget of $3 million. The content of the documentary does not focus on penguins, but mainly shows the various scenery of Antarctica.

At the same time, after tomorrow night's "premiering" as little Gemma's birthday present, the documentary will also log on to North American theaters next Friday.

As long as it can get a good response, with the experience accumulated in the first documentary, the "Emperor Penguin Diary" project in Simon's memory will be launched again.

May coincides with the new year's American TV series promotion season. Since Daenerys Entertainment's layout in the TV field is to be strengthened, Simon has also come to New York in recent days to personally participate in the selection and preparation of some projects.

Janet couldn't come because of her pregnancy. Although it was a weekend, Simon did not return to the West Coast, but stayed here and planned to attend Little Gemma's birthday party before leaving.

In the evening, Sophia checked the arrangement of the birthday party scene tomorrow led by the housekeeper Alice, and came to the study on the second floor. Simon was sitting behind his desk and carefully reading some documents.

She was about to sit down opposite Simon, but when she saw the man raised her head and saw her, she made a come over gesture. Sophia hesitated for a while, then turned to Simon across the desk, and was taken into his arms by the man.

I was a little nervous about what Simon would do, and I was relieved after confirming that he was just hugging himself.

His face still couldn't help but turn red.

This position is more like an adult cuddling a child, or a boy cuddling his girlfriend.

However, she was so many years older than him.

He had to hypnotize himself as much as possible to turn his attention to the document in the man's hand: "What is this?"

Simon stuck his head on the woman's smooth face and explained, "A development plan for a data interface."

Sophia snorted, because her mood was drifting, but she didn't have much interest.

Simon stopped talking after explaining, and continued to focus on the documents in his hand with his arms around the woman.

After the idea of ​​building an entire ecosystem of hardware systems around the usb interface came up last time, things have progressed quite a bit during this time.

In fact, Apple has been developing a similar data interface since 1986. It is the "firewire interface" that was used in many Apple computers in the 1990s but failed to popularize.

In Simon's memory, the reason why this data interface with higher data transmission efficiency and higher data transmission efficiency than usb was not popular, on the one hand, was the rapid decline of Apple in the 1990s, and on the other hand, the cost of the interface was too high. High and Apple's conservative and expensive licensing strategy with interface patents.

To put it simply, the difference between the firewire interface and the usb interface is probably equivalent to the difference between the core components of a digital camera sensor ccd and cmos.

Because of the advantages of cost and energy consumption, cmos is destined to be the application trend of consumer-grade digital cameras in the future, and the same is true for usb compared to firewire.

However, the current firewire has taken the lead in terms of time.

If Simon has control of Apple, he will temporarily promote the firewire interface as a transition, and then promote another standard after the cheaper and more convenient usb interface solution is completed.

It's a pity that Simon can't intervene in Apple's operations.

Also don't want to waste too much time at Apple.

As it happens, Igreit's team also successfully found a solution similar to the usb interface.

Simon doesn't have much memory of this, but it is almost certain that this is the usb interface scheme in memory.

The solution came from an Indian hardware engineer named Ajay Bhatt under Intel. The engineer submitted his plan to Intel executives two years ago, and wanted to develop a more advanced serial interface and parallel interface than the existing one. The application is more extensive and convenient, and it also has a plug-and-play data transmission interface.

However, after three consecutive revisions and submissions in the past two years, Ajay Bart's plan has not been approved. Before this, the engineer had been working on the processor chip team under Intel.

Information within Silicon Valley is very open.

The popularity of the World Wide Web has further accelerated the exchange of information within Silicon Valley.

After Simon put forward his ideas, Igret released the rumors of looking for similar plans or talents, and Ajay Butt quickly contacted him.

Igrit, which has quickly become a rookie in Silicon Valley, is like the star technology companies of the Westeros system such as AOL and Cisco, and its every move in the past year or so has attracted much attention.

Therefore, this incident not unexpectedly alarmed Intel executives.

Ajay Butt's data interface solution, which has been ignored for two consecutive years, immediately attracted the attention of many people.

Building a hardware ecosystem around the PC is not

Igreit's business focus, Westeros is still the largest shareholder holding 15% of Intel's shares. Since Intel has paid attention to it, Simon has not insisted on poaching, and then took the initiative to bring Microsoft in.

The promotion of the usb interface requires the joint efforts of the hardware level, operating system and peripheral manufacturers.

Intel is in charge of hardware, Microsoft is in charge of software, and Igret or Westeros is responsible for the development of peripheral hardware systems such as digital cameras, USB flash drives, and mp3 players.

The three companies work together to achieve the purpose of promoting usb.

Therefore, just in the near future, the 'Universal Serial Bus' project team jointly participated by the three companies was formally established. .

Because of the sufficient budget and support at the technical platform level such as hardware system and operating system, the development cycle of usb is expected to be one to two years. The first phase of the peripheral hardware ecological promotion target will mainly focus on the mouse and keyboard, which are essential for personal computers. Two major peripherals.

Westeros will also invest in the development of peripheral hardware products such as digital cameras and USB flash drives with USB interface versions.

Simon quietly read the information about the usb project, put down the folder, and found that the woman in her arms narrowed her eyes slightly, her face was rosy, and she almost fell asleep.

As soon as she put the woman on the desk with a smirk, Sophia woke up and pushed the man's hand who wanted to undress her: "It's already a little late, I have to go home and have dinner with the children."

Simon pretended to be dissatisfied and said, "Then what should I do?"

Seeing that Simon didn't mean to force it, Sophia held the man's hand and pressed it on her chest, saying, "I'll come over after dinner, um, after the children fall asleep."

Simon smiled and said, "Why don't I go there? I really want to try the night attack."

Sophia rolled her charming eyes and patted on the back of Simon's hand. The two stood behind the desk and maintained a certain charming and ambiguous posture, but they did nothing. Sophia was in no hurry to escape, her calf was still rubbing on the man's leg, and she changed the subject: "By the way, about the detective team, I have already found some people."

"German Stasi?"

Sophia nodded: "Probably contacted more than ten people, some of which are of high rank. I have recently compiled a document for you. Or, if you want to see for yourself, I will let them come to the United States?"

Simon thought for a while and said, "No need for now, you can arrange some things to see their abilities first."

Sophia nodded and said: "I plan to let them be responsible for your background check in the European housekeeper and maid team, which is a kind of test. In addition, I recently went to some major universities in Europe and found a lot of very good girls. According to your thoughts, it may be possible to create a large number of female multi-millionaire billionaires. Thinking about it, it is indeed a very fulfilling thing. In this world, most people always despise women. "
