Chapter 266: Product Launch (2)
A brilliant woman like Blake has not been married until she is thirty-one years old, which is normal to say, and perhaps it is because she is so good that she has been single until now.
She doesn't need to rely on men, she is more successful than 99% of the men in the world, plus she has a strong personality, she doesn't need a family, or a male partner to rely on, there are too many men who pursue Blake, and there is no need to worry about no one liking her.
The daily management of Penguin's company has exhausted her energy, as a small group of women who don't want to have children at all, Su Mu asked her several times, and the answer she got was that she didn't want to get married, and occasionally heard about love, such as the one at the beginning of the year, and in the end it was always gone, and she couldn't hear the following again.
In this era, women's social status has risen, feminist movements have risen in various places, and the more popular AA system can also reflect the distinctive characteristics - women do not need to rely on men.
In the past, when boyfriends and girlfriends went out, it was generally the men who were responsible for paying the bills, and it seemed like a natural thing, because men often meant earning more, serving as the pillar of the family, and taking care of women, except for the matriarchal society in ancient times, which has been the case for thousands of years.
Up to now, not only friends go out, women will contribute their own part of the money, even between couples, American women have a sense of self-reliance, getting rid of economic dependence is the first step, this kind of phenomenon mainly appears in the successful women in big cities, most of them have received good higher education.
At the end of last year, Su Mu helped Lily buy a Cartier leopard bracelet from the Duchess of Windsor, and then Lily also returned a gift to help Su Mu buy the house he lives in now, which is also a symbol of women's self-improvement, which means that in love and marriage, women no longer become the passive acceptance of the party, and there are no longer a few families in the United States where women make money to support their families, and many men feel aggrieved and shout that "feminist society" is coming.
Su Mu knew this, so he accepted the house with peace of mind, and it was a good thing for Lily to try to have an equal relationship between men and women, and he appreciated this character.
As a representative figure of women in the new era, Blake has undoubtedly succeeded, her career is stable, her life is not bad, and her spirit is quite good.
Su Mu was very busy tonight, and continued to say to Blake: "I promise to hold a product launch conference for the new computer next time, this year's sales growth is so fast, and when this trouble is dealt with, the market share may reach three percent by the end of the year, and then work hard to maybe be among the first-line computer brands, and most of the press conferences will not be unattended." ”
Recently, for every 50 computers sold in the world, one comes from the Penguin company, which has seized the market with IBM, Apple, Hewlett-Packard and other companies, and has also squeezed out their market share.
If Su Mu goes public with this company, considering its growth, even if it reaches a market value of 800 million, it is not impossible, no matter how high it is, after all, sales and profits are there, and real IT industry companies can't ignore short-term profits like Internet companies, and only look at future growth.
Blake nodded and asked, "Why don't I help you greet the guests?" I saw the people at Morgan Stanley, maybe I can get a lot of investment, after the success of the CNC browser, now many people are interested in this industry, someone asked me, asked if you have the intention of accepting financing. ”
"I can only say sorry to them, I will definitely let these companies go public in the future, but I don't plan to accept financing in the short term, my funds can still support their development, I feel that the future is unclear, I will definitely take a sum of money and put it in my pocket for peace of mind, since the future development is so good, I will definitely lose money if I let them invest now." ”
"Whatever you want, I'll just help others ask......"
Blake's network in Silicon Valley is much wider than that of Su Mu, and with her help, many unnecessary introductions are omitted.
More than ten minutes later, they entered the press conference, and there were many people present, such as Larry Ellison of Oracle, Bob, vice president of Microsoft, and one of the co-founders of Sun, the success of CNC Browser has greatly stimulated the entire IT industry, and they have all benefited as the number of Internet users grows.
This time I heard that Su Mu is about to release an epoch-making super browser program, how can there be no reason not to join in the fun, as long as the Internet can be connected to more users, the entire industry will gain great benefits, Su Mu as the founder of the CNC Alliance, itself is a Silicon Valley entrepreneur, in the promotion of the Internet to play a prestige.
Some of the reporters who came to the scene didn't even know what Bee was, and even less clear about what products the company called Galaxy was about to release, and some of them came over because of Su Mu's reputation for buying the Empire State Building, trying to find some bright news, there were only three big newspapers, "The Wall Street Journal", "Los Angeles Times", "New York Times", and half of the remaining reporters came from unknown small newspapers, and their combined influence was not as big as these three newspapers.
Recently, Americans have been very interested in the Internet, and even if they don't understand what the Internet is, because some people around them often mention it, as if they don't know it, they will be outdated, so newspapers like to publish this kind of news to attract people's attention, improve their newspapers' "forced qualifications", and get involved with high technology.
Su Mu, a reporter sent by the New York Times, knew that it was the female reporter who came to interview him after buying the Empire State Building, and the press conference was held decently, Su Mu was a little nervous in the face of more than 200 guests, thinking that there would be about 100 people when it was full, and the number of guests on the scene was twice as many as he imagined.
There was no fancy introduction, and at eight o'clock in the evening, Su Mu took the microphone and walked up to the stage in a white shirt, and said: "Good evening, gentlemen and ladies, and welcome to tonight's Galaxy product launch." ”
Sparse applause rang out, and someone clapped his hands, but did not make a sound, and applauded purely out of politeness.
Then I heard Su Mu continue: "Some time ago, our company released the Bee chat software, and before the press conference, the number of its registered users exceeded 113,000, and a total of more than 14 million messages were sent.
Tonight, I'd like to introduce Galaxy's second flagship product, OO Browser, which is a program that makes it easy for anyone to find information on the Internet. ”
Many people at the scene came to their senses, sat up straight and looked at the distorted line of artistic font "OO" on the screen, and some people thought in their minds: "Everyone, how can this be ......?"
