Hollywood Hunter

From New York to London, and then from London to New York, a 16-hour trip, Alice Ferguson carefully arranged her time.

Six hours off, four hours to serve the boss, the last six hours to work.

The Yigrete online application store project she is responsible for is already undergoing internal testing. It is just a pure software download and sales platform, which is actually very easy to develop. However, if you want to achieve successful operations and build a complete business model, things are by no means simple, and countless problems need to be solved.

The project team is currently working with the online payment team to develop a security software specifically designed to protect online payments.

After the Morris worm incident three years ago, hackers and viruses seem to have become more popular in recent years.

As the most successful Internet site right now, the Eaglet Portal is undoubtedly the target of many hacker attacks who want to showcase their technology. Just last month, the website was down for as long as 20 minutes due to hacking. Fortunately, it was late at night and it did not cause much impact.

If online payment is not involved, these things will only cause trouble to the website, but no serious accident will occur.

Now, things are clearly no longer the case.

If users want to consume via the Internet, payment security must be guaranteed first.

Aware of the seriousness of this problem, Eaglet is now constantly expanding its security team. Attacks are inevitable, and it is feasible to reduce the corresponding risks as much as possible through a strong technical team and reasonable response strategies.

My boss meant to develop a free security software.

Aware of the business opportunities, of course some people have mentioned fees.

However, Simon's remarks dispelled many people's thoughts: Once the fees are charged and an industry in which other people enter the competition, then the Internet is likely to suffer a large-scale virus catastrophe every time.

Thinking about the joints, even Alice herself had to admit that the man was right.

Just like the world you live in, because the interest chain involved in the military industry is too large, war is inevitable.

The Boeing 767 landed again on the runway of New York's Kennedy International Airport. The butler came to a room in the middle cabin and knocked on the door. After the other person opened the door, she said coldly: "Ms. Jenna, the car has been arranged to be outside. The driver will Send you back to Manhattan."

Chrissy Jenner also tried to make a good relationship with Simon's housekeeper all the way, but she didn't get a response, so she didn't try again. At this time, she just agreed, picked up her satchel and walked out.

Alice followed the other person and escorted her out of the cabin, watching that even if more than ten hours passed, the woman's figure was still a little unnatural when she walked, she couldn't help but frown.

There was a shallow worry in his expression.

In the previous ten-hour trip, the woman was only called out after spending more than an hour in the front cabin. During the period, the housekeeper was called in by some nasty guy to deliver something, and then she naturally saw something that shouldn’t be seen. s things.

vivid memory.

Therefore, she felt that if someone dared to treat herself that way, she must resist.

for sure.

Sending off the outsiders, Alice organized the cabin with the other three girls, stared at the plane being stored in the hangar, and left JFK International Airport.

Start a week of work.

Before returning to the West Coast, a few properties owned by the owner in the New York area must be routinely cleaned.

As the number of Simon's properties continues to increase, the maid team has been expanding, and Alice now has a team of more than 30 people.

However, this time many girls were directly arranged in the city where the property is located. Generally, a group of two girls is no longer full-time like the first batch. They spend one or two days a week on routine cleaning of the property. Get a very good pay.

Alice discovered that her boss initially asked them to travel between cities in person, only worried that these properties would be used by outsiders for other things.

In the past six months, with the rise of the Internet, Simon’s scattered properties have been equipped with 24-hour video surveillance systems, both inside and outside the villa, and internal surveillance will only be removed when they move in.

At present, the network speed of general users may only be 56K or 128K, which is naturally not a problem for Simon. All networked properties directly use 5M optical fiber access, and the monitoring terminal is in the Dumei Cape Manor.

The other duties of the female housekeepers are now to check the work of the corresponding maids on properties far away in cities like Seattle or Miami through video, and whether these people have done anything they shouldn’t do.

Realized to be reminded that there is monitoring in the villa, and some people are still restless.

Some people use their high salary to hire other people to help with cleaning, some use the bathroom of the master bedroom of the villa without authorization to take a bath, some try to slack off, and some plan to have a party in Simon's villa...

Not only were these people expelled, they also received punitive claims under the contract.

Therefore, even if it is a housekeeper, now I have roughly discovered the strong sense of the original territory of my boss.

Alice is personally responsible for the several properties where Simon lives on the east and west coasts, so the girls need to fly on the east and west coasts at least once a week.

At first, the girls were quite excited to own a private jet exclusively for themselves.

Once you get used to it, you get used to it.

However, Alice also noticed that her friends, in front of ordinary people, had a very obvious sense of superiority.

Even she probably is like that.

Ok.

Of course, except for someone who can only be looked up to.

From Tuesday afternoon to Wednesday morning, after finishing the routine cleaning of several properties in Manhattan and Greenwich, Alice took a few girls to their Gulfstream IV and returned to the west coast.

It took another day to manage several properties in Los Angeles, and most of the girls' work for the week was basically over.

Therefore, to say that a certain guy is spending money to raise a vase is a perfect description.

In private, Janet told the housekeepers in a joking tone that they were the vases raised by Simon Westeros.

However, most girls are basically willing to treat this vase that is too good to be treated.

Even with a $10 million vase fund, some girls who are accustomed to this kind of pampering can't afford too much to do some things.

Janet has promised that as long as they perform well enough, they can work until the age of 30.

Most people are busy all their lives, and it is impossible to make a million dollars.

At the age of 30, if you save a few million dollars, you can basically retire directly. In the future, you can do whatever you want, why you should be so tired.

What's more, the $10 million vase fund is really hard to get.

Alice certainly has no such thoughts.

The housekeeper has always fulfilled her responsibilities for her own'own job', but she has not wasted any extra time on the affairs of Igreat Company.

In private, he is still figuring out how to get his 10 million dollar vase fund shares.

Of course, the treatment you deserve cannot be wasted.

In addition, there are also some thoughts about competing with another'vase'.

When she first joined the job, she was cheated by the C girl beside Simon.

Women are very grudges.

C girl Claire Gein's card camera project, and Simon's seemingly partial support, made the housekeeper feel a little threat.

Eaglet Corporation purchased all the first 1,000 iCam10s of Tinkerbell under the official name and launched a free trial for blog users. This period of time has aroused a very strong response.

In order to promote iCam, the blog team also specially developed an interface.

All users who send pictures via iCam will attach a ‘PictureFromiCam’ prompt to the blog post, and this text will also lead directly to the official website of Tinkerbell.

Because it is the first product, iCam inevitably has some minor problems. However, in the face of this product's super cost-effective, other professional digital cameras worth thousands of dollars in the same period are not competitive at all.

What's more, there is the all-round support from the official Yigrete.

Driven by the photo-printing trend of the Yigrete blog, many users have consulted where they can buy such a camera.

North American businesses with a keen sense of smell are naturally unlikely to ignore such business opportunities.

As of early July, Tinkerbell has received more than 100,000 orders from electronics retailers across North America.

In the early discussions with Simon, Lady C also considered that once retail channels could not be established, she would conduct remote sales via the Internet, just like the current TV shopping.

Now, because of the popularity of iCam, some things seem natural.

Of course, competition is inevitable.

Simon reminded Lady C in advance that many powerful electronics manufacturers may only need one month to launch such a simple card camera.

However, Tinkerbell's advantage is actually very obvious because of Igreat's support.

In addition to the most obvious time advantage, iCam shoots directly in the GIF image format developed by Yigrete. Photoshop software is also sufficient to provide a large degree of bonus, and there is also Yigrete's official technology and promotion support.

With such an obvious advantage, if it is no longer successful, Simon can only let other electronics manufacturers enter the market. According to the development plan set before, in any case, enriching the content of the Internet platform as soon as possible is the first thing.

Simon personally followed up with the filming of "Wonder Woman" in the UK, and in North America, the summer files continue.

From June 28 to July 4, the first week of "Terminator 2", the final box office receipt was 56.93 million US dollars.

This result is obviously not comparable to "Batman: The Dark Knight", but the first week's box office of 56.93 million US dollars also exceeded most people's expectations, and Fox was relieved.

The box office reached 56.93 million U.S. dollars in the first week, which means that "Terminator 2"'s North American box office is very safe to get 200 million U.S. dollars.

The North American box office of 200 million US dollars basically recovered all the production and publicity costs in the early stage.

With the rising cost of Hollywood film production and the continuous expansion of overseas markets, video tape channels and television platforms, the North American box office of Hollywood films has become less and less important.

Everyone regards the local box office more as a criterion for the ultimate commercial potential of a film.

Many movies with a budget of more than US$50 million simply rely on the local box office and cannot recover the cost at all.

It is very rare that a film like "Terminator 2" with a total production and publicity budget of US$100 million can recover its costs just through the North American theater chain.

The local box office can reach 200 million US dollars, and the film's overseas market box office potential is the same.

Counting the subsequent video tapes and TV broadcasting platforms, the net profit scale of the project in the next three years can basically reach 200 million US dollars.

The profit scale of the two blockbuster films in the DC movie universe can only be described by miracles, and they are not comparable at all. "Terminator 2" is a project that is expected to reach 200 million US dollars in revenue, which is the goal pursued by Hollywood studios.

In addition, in the week from June 28 to July 4, the box office of "Batman: The Dark Knight" dropped by 23%, and it received another $34.77 million, with a total box office of $242.05 million.

The film’s one-week box office has fallen back to between 30 million and 40 million U.S. dollars. Basically, it will not have much impact on other summer films.

According to the current box office trends, the North American box office of "Batman: The Dark Knight" will exceed 300 million U.S. dollars in at most three weeks. As for whether it can hit 400 million U.S. dollars, we can only look forward to subsequent market performance.

Relying on the strong performance of overseas markets and the surrounding derivatives market, "Batman: The Dark Knight" was released in the second week of the film. In fact, all the production and distribution costs were recovered on the books. Right now, this super blockbuster has begun. Earn profits for Daenerys and Time Warner.

On July 5th, the atmosphere brought by the U.S. Independence Day holiday has not yet dissipated, and the North American theaters again opened three movies.

They are the comedy "Problem Boy 2" from Universal Pictures, the classic 2D animation "101 Dalmatians" re-screened by Disney, and the feature film "About Henry" produced by Paramount Pictures.

Although the three films are all key projects of various studios, their market performance is very average.

Therefore, in the week from July 5th to July 11th, the North American film market is still the leader of "Terminator 2" and "Batman: The Dark Knight".

In the second week of its release, "Terminator 2" had a 37% drop in the box office compared to the first week. This drop is better than "Batman: The Dark Knight". Of course, the box office opening volume of the two cannot be compared.

However, the box office of 41.33 million U.S. dollars the following week also made the North American box office of "Terminator 2" quickly rushed to 98.26 million U.S. dollars.

Basically, it can be counted as breaking 100 million fortnightly.

Hollywood studios have therefore realized that the era of more intensive and saturated full-scale distribution has officially arrived with the release of the two films "Batman: The Dark Knight" and "Terminator 2".
