Hollywood Hunter

Seeing Simon return, Jennifer handed over the two little guys to the waitresses, walked out of the pool, and sat down on the recliner. He noticed the documents on the round table and asked Simon, "Are you going to support the ITER project?"

"Our family's money did not fall from the sky, but, maybe, the key is to see whether the interests of the Westeros family can be guaranteed, I did not plan to do charity in this kind of thing," Simon said And asked Janet next to him, "Baby, what do you think?"

Janet's cool body posted a sticker on Simon who had just taken off his shirt and trousers, and said, "Actually, I think it is a mistake to develop controlled nuclear fusion."

The female assistant apparently also read the document: "You mean, Tokamak?"

"It's the entire controlled nuclear fusion program," Janet said, raising his little finger to the sky outside the parasol: "Actually, our planet has been enjoying controlled nuclear fusion energy for billions of years, I don't think there is any difference The energy provided by the sun is more stable."

Simon and Jennifer looked at the sky together, suddenly suddenly.

According to Janet's thinking, it is clear that he is already getting inexhaustible sources of'controllable nuclear fusion' energy and has to invest in R&D by himself, which is indeed a bit of a misunderstanding.Perhaps what really should be done is to consider how to maximize the use of solar energy.

Not to mention the huge biological circulation system of the earth under the sun, the application of solar energy in modern society has already appeared. The most typical and most promising potential is the solar photovoltaic power generation system.

However, until now, and many years after Simon’s memory, photovoltaic power generation has not been able to get rid of a shackle: that is, the solar energy source converted by the photovoltaic power generation system in its life cycle has never been able to surpass the consumption of photovoltaic products in the production process. Total energy.

Not only that, the production of photovoltaic products and the treatment after product scrapping will be accompanied by very serious pollution, and the statement of clean energy is also very unreliable.

Many rich people install expensive solar power systems in their mansions to promote themselves as an environmentalist. This is actually not environmentally friendly, just like taking a private plane to participate in an environmental rally.

Only if the solar energy source converted by a unit volume of photovoltaic products in its life cycle far exceeds the investment of the product itself in all aspects, can human beings really count on using sustainable solar energy.

This is an idea.

Simon sat up and continued to chat with the two girls, while signaling the girl A not far away to come down, write down the thoughts that had just occurred, and collect some relevant information as soon as possible.

Photovoltaic products will start to erupt after the new century.

This is also a good investment direction.

Simon has always believed that if an industry wants to develop rapidly, a sustainable business model is far more effective than talking about ideal play gimmicks.

As he was instructed, Melbourne climbed out of the pool under the care of the waitress, and ran to Simon with a little yellow duck in his hand, holding the little yellow duck in his hand and expected to Simon: "Daddy ,duck."

Simon took the little yellow duck from his son and smiled and asked, "What's wrong, baby?"

"Dad, I mean, can I raise a real duckling?"

Simon played with the little yellow duck in his hand and nodded without hesitation: "Of course," Seeing the little guy's eyes gleamed, Simon quickly said: "However, if you really raise a duck, you need you Take care of yourself, will Moore be willing?"

Melbourne nodded without hesitation: "Yes, I can feed the ducklings every day."

Simon shook his head: "More than that, little ducks are not as clever as ours. They will pull the cakes everywhere. If we dirty our house, since it is a duck from Moore, you are responsible for cleaning up."

The little guy hesitated a moment, looked at Simon and sat up and smiled at his mother, turned to another mother next to him, and finally cleverly pointed to the Indian girl behind him: "Ali can clean up the cake, she is a servant ."

Simon shook his head again: "This will not work,

The little guy hesitated for a moment, but, probably feeling the encouragement and expectation in the eyes of his father and two mothers, he nodded quickly: "Well."

Simon smiled and hugged his son to kiss on the forehead of the little guy: "Very good, willing to take on his own responsibilities, which shows that Moore has started to be a man, and Dad will let Moore send a duckling to him in the afternoon. ."

Hearing his father's praise, the little guy was obviously very happy and said, "Dad, I want to keep the little duck in the swimming pool."

"It still doesn't work. The ducklings are very dirty. In case the bait is pulled in the swimming pool, everyone can't take a bath. However, you can build a swimming pool for the ducklings in other places."

Melbourne thought about it, thought his father said something very reasonable, and nodded again.

Zoe and Qusi took a few coconuts when the father and son were talking. Janet lying on Simon’s back took a coconut and drank a straw and took a few sips. When the little guy nodded, he took the straw to Simon’s mouth. , With his head on the man's shoulder, said to his son with a smirk: "And oh baby, have you ever thought about what to do if the duck grows up?"

Just as Melbourne looked over in doubt, Simon had returned the straw to Janet's mouth.

The little guy over three years old is not yet in one step.

Jennifer on the other side also sensed Janet’s intentions, glared at her strangely, and pulled the little doubtful guy back toward the pool.

When his son walked away, Janet returned the straw to Simon's mouth and turned his head to the next Zoe: "I want to eat roast duck at night."

Simon reached out and pumped a note on Janet's butt, ignoring the woman pretending to be so cute, and thought about it. She said to Zoe: "Look for two duck eggs, remember that they are ducks, they can fly. An incubator, delivered in the afternoon."

Zoe agreed, glancing at Janet again and asked Simon: "Boss, do you want to eat roast duck?"

"No, don't eat for the past two years." Simon said to the humming Janet: "If you want to eat, go eat outside."

Janet hummed a few words, stuffed the coconut in Simon's hand, got up and walked towards the deep water of the swimming pool, and with a light jump, the mermaid plunged into it.

Simon did not join in the excitement and leaned back on the recliner again. Seeing Zoe and Qu Gove also holding two other coconuts, they pointed to the round table next to them: "Just put it here, you can also play."

The two women put down the coconut and walked towards the pool together.

Simon was drinking coconut juice while considering the recent meeting with Semel and the topic he had just discussed, and occasionally gave a few words to the A girl beside the waiter.

In the afternoon, there were two more carefully selected duck eggs.

Simon hopes to grow and finally leave through the birth of two small lives, and teach his son something, love, responsibility, perseverance, and independence.

Simon has always felt that it is better to cultivate a good character by instilling more knowledge into the child like a duck.

Character determines fate.

After the weekend, the new week, Simon did not leave Los Angeles, even if the East Coast or San Francisco and Simon need to pay attention to things, have canceled the itinerary.

I plan to stay at home for the next month.

The main reason is that Sofia's due date is in August, when Simon will go to Europe for a month to give birth.

After Terry Semel disclosed to Simon Simon’s rumor that General Electric’s head Jack Welch and Time Warner’s chairman Gerald Levin had recounted, Simon hadn’t heard the news for the next few days. Did not deliberately inquire.

If GE can really acquire Time Warner, although Daenerys will have a strong opponent, on the whole, it is still a good thing.With the two strong powers standing side by side, Daenerys Entertainment will have much less potential pressure.

Moreover, judging from the information in the memory, even if this acquisition can be completed, Simon does not feel that GE can take care of such a huge media business.

Jack Welch may not have too many problems when he is in power. The ability of this legendary professional manager is beyond doubt.

However, in memory, Jack Welch will retire in 2000. In 2000, it also became the turning point of GE's decay.

On the other hand, after receiving the inspiration from Janet on Saturday, after carefully studying the data collected by the subsequent girl A, Simon soon included the photovoltaic industry as a key focus area of ​​the Westeros system.Although photovoltaic products will not be able to break through some kind of shackles for a long time in the future, the gimmick of clean energy is still very acceptable.

Simon also started R&D in the field of overchargeable rechargeable batteries, mainly lithium batteries.

This is actually already done by Tinkerbair.

At present, the main products of Tincobalt still use traditional disposable batteries as energy, which is actually very inconsistent with Simon's environmental protection concept.

Although he has never publicized it, Simon is indeed an environmentalist.

When he learned the serious pollution of disposable nickel-cadmium batteries when he was very young in the past life, Simon began to deliberately avoid using these products.

At this stage, there are many solutions for flushing batteries. Simon directly chose lithium batteries, which is to avoid taking a lot of detours. He hopes that in the next two to three years, Tinkerbear will be able to release at least the flushable batteries suitable for his own products. Lithium battery products are considered to be a kind of peripheral, and gimmicks have been thought about, environmental protection.

Of course, Tinkerbair certainly does not have the ability to produce his own, but still has to be OEM.

Both Westeros and Tincobalt have previously invested in some lithium battery R&D start-ups. Inspired by the photovoltaic industry, Simon plans to further increase the size and even consider acquiring IBM’s battery R&D and production departments, mainly It is for technology and patents.

As veteran electronic giants, IBM and other enterprises, like Japan's Panasonic Toshiba, etc., in fact, they have a complete industrial chain that can be quite self-sufficient. An IBM computer, at this stage, IBM can produce most of its own assembly, even without a CPU problem.

However, Japanese companies have kept the perfect industrial chain for many years, but European and American companies have been divesting and selling for various reasons, and many have been completely cut off.This does reduce costs and improve efficiency, but it also misses many opportunities.

On the other hand, the North American summer gear started to slow down after the independence day holiday.

On the second week of the Independence Day holiday on July 7th, the North American theater mainly released two new films, one is the NC-17-level new film "Dancing Girl" released by Paramount produced by Carlock, which was Charlize Theron last year. The one that almost starred was also a "Triple of Murder" by New World Pictures under Daenerys. This is a remake of Robert Rodriguez's "Kill of the Killer". It is worth noting that This is a'trilogy', not a trilogy of'trilogy'.

Because of the name of "The Killer's Elegy", New World Pictures provided 2027 opening screens for "The Three Steps to Murder". Finally, this $7 million budget B-class film won $11.03 million in seven days in the first week. The box office is between $25 million and $30 million.

Of course, it can't be compared with the two main titles of Daenerys' summer, but it is also a good success.

Another "Dancing Girl" will be much more miserable.

This NC-17 movie about the Las Vegas wind and moon industry cost 45 million US dollars. However, after the release, because the scale was too large, the scolding was under a large amount, even if it was difficult to resist a large number of wolf friends who bought tickets to account. At the box office, only 9.07 million U.S. dollars were received at the box office. It is not expected that the local box office will exceed 20 million U.S. dollars.

On July 14, another box office week, this time it was still two new movies.

MGM's campus comedy "Leading the Wind", directed by "Leaping Childhood" director Amy Heklin, tells the story of a fashionable Beverly aristocratic school rich girl transforming a new female student, the film seems to be famous Not many, but in fact, in Simon’s memory, "Legend" has influenced many young campus comedies such as "The Cheap Girl" that was later sold.

Simon cut off the sequel of "Leaping Childhood", and several other projects directed by Amy Heklin in recent years have not been successful, so the budget for this new film is only $12 million.

This is also in line with Simon's positioning of MGM.

In addition to the blockbuster that Simon personally approved, MGM mainly focuses on low- and medium-cost movies with a budget of less than US$30 million.

This summer, the three films released by MGM, "Legend", "King of Fighters" and "Online Fright", all have a budget of less than $30 million.

Because of its small size, in order to avoid being crushed by the blockbuster in the early summer period, it is basically placed at the back end of the summer period. "Legend of the Leading" is the first part. "Fixed on July 28, the same period as Warner's "Future Water World", Sandra Bullock starred in the hacker movie "Online Terror" scheduled on August 11.

In addition to "Leadership", another new film is the action film "Raging Dragon 2" produced by Warner Bros. Steven Seag. After the first film has achieved good box office results, the continuation cost has increased to 60 million US dollars. To reach the blockbuster level.
