Hollywood Hunter

Girl C moves quickly.

On Monday morning, February 21, the Wall Street Journal reported that Tinkerbair CEO Claire Gein met with the president of Morgan Stanley’s West Coast Investment Bank.

The media and the public are usually used to abbreviating Wall Street’s major financial giants as ‘investment banks’. In fact, companies such as Morgan, Goldman Sachs, Lehman, and Solomon are comprehensive financial services companies. Investment banks are precisely these financial companies. One of the giant's many businesses, mainly responsible for corporate IPO and underwriting of various types of stocks and bonds.

Therefore, the purpose of the C girl meeting with the head of the investment banking department on Morgan West Coast is self-evident.

On the same morning, on the financial section of the Eaglenet portal,'internal sources' followed by affirmative news that Tinkerbair was considering an initial public offering (IPO). The rapid rise of electronic products companies quickly became the focus of attention.

Established in 1991, it relied on a parity digital camera product in June of that year, and its sales in the second year of its establishment exceeded 300 million US dollars.

As if to create a momentum for Tincobair's IPO, on February 22, Tincobair announced the official financial report for 1993 through the Eaglenet portal.

Throughout 1993, Tinkerbair sold 2.76 million iCam series digital cameras throughout the year, with a turnover of US$1.39 billion and a net profit of US$1.2.An electronic product company has achieved sales of more than 1 billion US dollars and net profit of more than 100 million in just three years, which is quite rare in the entire business history.This data also once again proves the vast development space of the blue ocean Internet industry.

February 22 is Simon's 26th birthday.

Still low-key.

If it weren't for C Girl to publicly wish her boss a happy birthday on "Tonight Show".

Logging on an important page of the newspaper for two consecutive days, Claire was also interviewed by NBC "Tonight Show" on the night of Simon's birthday. Jay Reynolds talked happily, talking about his idea of ​​creating Tincobair, talking about the development of iCam camera in the past few years, and talking about his vision of the company.

Of course, the question about Simon is inevitable.

Girl C was very frank about this, saying that she was one of the ABCDs around Simon, and also boldly revealed her admiration for her boss during her work and Simon’s unlimited support for her creation of Tincobell, and occasionally unavoidable little ambiguity. Although the topic was jumped off by Girl C, the girl's unremarkable faint aftertaste seemed to be completely uninvited, which caused the audience to coax.

At the same time wishing Simon’s birthday, I will not forget to continue to advertise the fourth-generation iCam-40 digital camera to be released during Easter.It fits the theme very well, giving people the feeling that this goblin's debut is to promote their own products.

There is no shortage of doubts.

An article on the San Francisco Chronicle on Wednesday mocked the unity of Ting Kebail’s products and the gap between iCam and professional digital cameras. It also analyzed the situation that iCam is facing a joint siege by major electronic manufacturers. The small company whose market share has been declining may be marginalized within three years, just like Apple, which is declining rapidly.

After the market value reached a peak of US$7.6 billion in 1992, it was affected by factors such as the rise of Microsoft and the stagnation of its own product innovation. Even though the previous fiscal year 1993 still achieved a net profit of more than US$500 million, Apple’s stock price continued to fall, and the current market value has fallen. At around $4.3 billion, the decline was as high as 43% from the peak.

At first, Tinker Baier, who only relied on the procurement of components from other manufacturers to complete the first generation of iCam-10, was obviously not as good as Apple. Whether it was a Japanese German or a strong American electronic manufacturer,

Tinkerbearer refuted the argument of the San Francisco Chronicle that day.

Simon even sniffed at the report.

According to this view, Motorola, Nokia and other mobile phone giants with deep technical accumulation are unlikely to be surpassed by Apple as a layman.

For three years, Tinkerbair has already had its own technology accumulation, marketing model and sales network, which is the basis for this company to continue to develop rapidly, not just the product technology.

Compared with the downfall of the San Francisco Chronicle, many professional media are more optimistic about Tinkerbal's IPO prospects.According to the 1993 financial performance and the company's upward momentum, the industry generally predicts Tincobal's IPO price-earnings ratio will not be lower than 20 times, which means this company's valuation of 2.4 billion US dollars.

Relying on a 15% shareholding in Tinkerbair, C Girl's net worth is therefore estimated at $360 million.360 million US dollars, has basically stepped on the threshold of the US 400 rich list.After the official IPO, the stock price rose slightly, and the former Simon Westero personal maid may become one of the 400 richest people in the United States on this year's "Forbes" list.

When the media and the public were envious of the life experience of Girl C, Westeros’ secret and secret teams were all operating in the UK on the “mysterious Lori Legion”.

If it can not be exposed, of course it is best not to expose.

After News Corp. refused to publish a report, the public relations team of the Westeros system also successfully intercepted the two mainstream newspapers of the British "Guardian" and "Daily Telegraph" trying to report on this matter, but there are some things since If someone wants to poke it out, he can't stop it.

On February 25th, another British gossip newspaper, The Daily Mirror, which is similar in nature to the World News, still published the same article of the'Mysterious Lolita Army'.

At the same time the news was reported, the London Police Department also received a report.

The storm started.

The news of a group of mysterious Russian girls hiding in London City and suspected of being abducted or trained by secret agents is really worth digging.

On the day of the "Daily Mirror" report, the villa next to the Burton Park in Chelsea was blocked by the paparazzi reporters from the news, including the private girls' school where the girls went to school and others around them. Objects of media mining.

The public opinion was fierce, and the London Police Department immediately announced its official involvement in the investigation.

Now that things can't be covered up, Simon also followed the original planned format in order to avoid more rumored gossip in London's developed tabloid system.

The next day, a person in charge of Westeros’ London branch convened a press conference to publicly clarify that several girls in London were special international students funded by Westeros. The Luo family trains personal assistants.

The person in charge did not disguise when he was asked by the media. The straightforward explanation was an assistant like Claire Gein, the founder of Tinkerbeer, who was being discussed recently.

The British media, which was originally digging for details and discovered a half-claw, suddenly felt a little confused.

I just admit it so brightly that it hasn't been lively yet.

So immediately thrown a lot of questions.

Why is such a group of girls?

Do girls have a distinctive family background?

Are the girls being abused while they are being trained? Are they willing?

To be more sensitive, do these underage girls have some contact with Simon Westero and are they hurt?

Such a lively weekend.

On Monday, February 27th, a spokesperson for the London Police Department also released a preliminary incident investigation report. The girls are indeed foreign students funded by Westeros. Suffered any detention and abuse.

How can this happen!

Let's make it lively.

Well, can you believe the official words?

A child protection organization in the United Kingdom immediately jumped out and asked to investigate the situation of the girls.

The media followed suit.

At the same time, the girls' life experience and selection process also surfaced under the excavation of the British supernatural tabloids. Westeros collected large-scale resumes through model recruitment. Is this suspected of fraud? The parents of the girls once asked to stay Accompanying caregivers in the United Kingdom, only parents who made such requests were rejected, and even some girls who were originally selected were expelled. Is Westero's approach unsuccessful?

As such.

The people who eat melon just think that this melon is getting bigger and sweeter.

Then Westeros simply released a super big melon.

News Corp.’s Times published a statement on February 30. In order to clarify some doubts in the media and the public, Westeros will conduct a live webcast of the girls’ lives on March 1. Appropriate display.

I have never listened to the webcast.

After the news was released, many television networks in Europe and the United States contacted Westero to try to get the right to live TV.Rupert Murdoch personally called Simon for this.

Simon has no objection. After simple communication, a live broadcast team of British Sky TV was added to follow up, but the live TV media will only have two hours instead of the full-day tracking of the webcast.

On the day of the news release, the eye-catching location of the Igrid portal also announced the address of the live broadcast website. Millions of users clicked in for the first time and only saw a simple video display screen, as well as staying on the screen.

The scheduled live broadcast time starts on March 1st in London time. The west coast of the United States is still more than nine o'clock in the evening.

Before the live broadcast began that night, Jeff Bezos personally called Simon, with a bit of excitement and worry in his tone, saying that the live broadcast has not yet begun, and the number of viewers from all over the world waiting to watch in the live broadcast room has exceeded 31 million. This number It is really too large. The mainstream TV stations in the world have more than 3,000 viewers, but the programs are only handful. Moreover, after the live broadcast starts, this number will definitely increase.

The most important thing is, according to the calculation of 30 million viewers, Igerit will have to bear about 200,000 US dollars in server and network bandwidth and other costs. If it lasts for one month, it will be 6 million US dollars.

This is too much money.

Of course, Bezos also expressed his optimism about online video live broadcast. He believes that if this live broadcast can be successful, Igrid may be able to invest in a video live broadcast website in advance.

In anticipation, at 5:40 a.m. London time, the live video screen lights up on time.

The lens first fell on the living room of the villa with simple decoration style but hard to hide.

The voiceover is a very soft female voice. She introduced herself to Gil. She didn’t give her own shot, but directly said: “It’s 5:40 London time, the girls get up, but we have to wait a moment, now It’s still private time. Oh, let’s introduce first, this is Ms. Burns, the housekeeper of the girls."

Hearing that Jill was going to take you to see how the girls got up, the audience in front of countless computer screens were excited, and they were even more impatient for Jill introducing a certain old-fashioned woman in black.

It's just that the girls still didn't appear in the camera, but under the leadership of Ms. Burns, they briefly introduced the situation in the villa.

Even though the group of goblins selected by Simon Westero can still be seen as soon as possible, many viewers still feel astonished about this luxury villa. Some people who originally questioned the situation of the girls have dispelled similar thoughts.If living in such an environment is considered abused, I would rather be abused for a lifetime.

After about ten minutes, the camera finally turned to the stairs, all the way to the second floor, aiming at the nameplate on a door: "This is Natali's room."

Then a hand was stretched out of the screen and knocked.

A moment later, Natalie Vodianova opened the door and politely invited Jill to enter. The girl had put on a set of practice clothes, showing that she was a very good figure according to her age. Gil said good morning and invited the other party to enter.

The camera follows, watching the girl skillfully organize the room, and occasionally ask questions.

Looking at the equally luxuriously decorated bedroom, some of the girls who were standing in front of the computer screen already looked forward to Westeros' abuse.

"Nata, can I call you like this?"

"of course."

"Speaking, your English is really good."

The girl sorted out her personal items one by one in the spacious bathroom and smiled: "Thank you, I worked hard, but other people actually said better."

"Oh, by the way, can you explain to everyone, why is it 5:40?"

Natali finally folded a towel and hung it on the shelf, took Jill out of the room and said, "Because the boss is used to getting up at six, we must be earlier than him."

"boss?"

"Yes, Mr. Westeros," Natalie said, with an obvious little admiration in his expression: "I'm looking forward to seeing him."

"Have you not seen Westeros?"

"If it wasn't for some time ago, we didn't know who our boss is."

"Oh, then, why do you think he wanted to hide this."

"The boss must have a boss's reason," Natali said, frowning slightly. "So I think those newspapers are talking nonsense. We all have a good life. The boss is also a good person."
