"Sotheby's invited me to their auction at 8 o'clock tonight, and I'll pick you up when the time comes!" said Henry to Karina as he ate steak in a restaurant at a fancy hotel.

Karina looked at him suspiciously and asked, "Don't you usually participate in auctions?"

"It's different," Henry shook his head and smiled, "This time, I have one thing entrusted to Sotheby's for auction!"

Hearing this, Karina was very curious, what would Henry entrust the auction house to auction?

Before Karina could start asking, Henry spoke up himself.

"I commissioned them to auction off a bottle of wine!"

"Wine, what kind of wine is going to be auctioned at the auction house?"

"Hehe, it's produced by a winery on Williams Manor, but with a different packaging. ”

"Okay, so how much are you going to sell it for?"

"$2 million starting bid!"

"How much? two million dollars?!! "Karina's eyes widened and she wondered, "Oh, you're not kidding, is there such an expensive wine in the world?"

"I don't know about any other wine," said Henry, shaking his head, "but my wine sells for so much!!"

Karina was speechless, drank a glass of fruit juice, and said, "Now, I'm very curious, what kind of wine is it!"

"What's so curious about this, after lunch, I'll call someone to bring two bottles to drink!" Henry laughed.

"Two million dollars of wine, I can't afford to drink it!"

"What's so reluctant about this, you can take it for a bath if you want to take it in the future!"

Karina giggled.

After lunch, Henry made a phone call and asked for two bottles of "Williams I" wine to be brought to Karina. One bottle of white wine, one bottle of red wine!, and Henry, after the call, said goodbye to Karina. The company has something to do, saying that it will come to pick her up in the evening and go to Los Angeles to participate in the auction!

Karina received the wine in her office. But his face was full of shock!

I looked at the wine bottle carefully, shook my head with a smile and said, "I said why is it so expensive, it turns out that the cost is spent on the wine bottle, which is selling wine, it is clearly selling wine bottles!!

That being said, Karina loved these two bottles of wine because they were so beautiful, they were priceless works of art!

Henry returned to Silicon Valley Electronics Group in the afternoon. MP3 player iPods have been distributed in the United States, sales are very hot, China's Hongnian Technology Company has built a new factory dedicated to the production of iPods, and has also placed an order for 10 million MP3 decoding chips from TSMC. iPod not only has to be sold all over the United States, but also intends to march to Europe, the Internet in Europe is also developing rapidly, almost all European countries can be connected, but the users who open Internet access services are still relatively few!

However, Internet cafes are popping up everywhere in European countries. This is due to the great benefits of Cisco's "one-stop" program, which greatly reduces the cost of opening an Internet café. Nature. The number of Internet users in European countries is also gradually increasing with the rise of Internet cafes!

Henry can imagine that the popularity of the iPod will inevitably attract the attention of other companies, such as Sony, Matsu and other Japanese companies, must have secretly begun to develop MP3 players! Therefore, while they did not launch a product, Henry decided to take the initiative. Be the first to seize the market!

Harrison reports to Henry in his office.

"Chairman, in Europe. We have established branches in Germany, France, the United Kingdom, Russia, Italy, Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland and ten of the most influential countries. Each branch will be responsible for the sales of iPods in the local country, mainly through tertiary distribution. There will be at least 5 Tier 1 distributors!"

"What about the rest of Europe?" asked Henry.

"You can find branches in neighboring countries and obtain first-class distributor qualifications!"

Henry nodded, indicating understanding, and then said: "Europe is no better than the United States, and our foundation over there is a little weaker. Therefore, we have to spend a lot of money on advertising and do a good job in the promotion of iPod products! The advertising film has to be re-filmed, and the native language of some countries is not English, so the advertising film we shoot should cater to the local country, and the language should be changed to the native language of their country, and then the shooting location will also be changed to a more representative local building, such as France, the background of the advertisement is the Eiffel Tower, and a group of young people are listening to songs on iPod in front of them!"

"Okay," Harrison replied, then asked, "Chairman, what about ...... Do you need to replace the actors who shoot the commercial? It's still the same six?"

Speaking of which, the iPod ad caused a big stir after it was broadcast on American television.

After the screening of the commercial, according to the reporter's investigation, 70 young men and women in the United States want to have an iPod music player!

The commercial became popular, and the actors in it followed suit.

Among them, Diana, who is particularly outstanding, is especially out of the country in advertising films, and many film companies have asked her to make movies and negotiate contracts. However, the entertainment gossip newspaper pulled out a photo, which showed the scene of Diana kissing Henry in the hotel! So, for the sake of sales, the gossip newspaper began to hype up that Diana was Henry's rumored girlfriend!

Harrison asked Henry if he wanted to continue to ask the original six people to shoot the commercial, just to consider the scandal that had spread before!

Henry said indifferently: "No need to look for it again, the original few people are very good!"

"Well, well, I'll arrange for them to go to Europe as soon as possible, and then do the filming of the commercial!!" Harrison nodded.

……

After Harrison left, Henry turned on his computer, went to the email, and checked the progress of the project from various companies! Henry paid special attention to the fact that the 3D engine developed by ID-Software Games, a firefly game company, was three-fifths complete, and the project was expected to be completed in four or five months. At that point, you will be able to develop a shooter, Half-Life or Counter-Strike.

In addition, "Warcraft 1" jointly developed by Blizzard Blizzard and D Games is also almost completed, and it is said that it can be completed in a month, but according to Blizzard's urine, it will definitely skip tickets again, and it will not be released as scheduled!

After Henry finished reading the contents of the email, it was almost time for work. So I turned off my computer, left Silicon Valley Electronics Group, and drove to Victoria's Secret to pick up Kailina to go to the auction!
