"The company has its own hotel, Feng Jiao and I are currently living in the hotel, there is no rent, there is everything in the hotel, which is not bad. ← the top novel,"

"Director Li, what about you, you also live in a hotel?"

Li Hanxiang shook his head and said, "I bought a house here, but I didn't live in a hotel. ”

"Although the hotel conditions in Raccoon Town are not bad, there are still many inconveniences with people coming and going. Ling Shizhe said to Zhao Xiaoyun: "In this way, aren't there many villas empty over there in the film and television city, take out a set and give it to the two girls to live in." ”

Lin Fengjiao said in surprise: "Wow, the villa there is so big, I can't afford to pay the rent." ”

"You don't need to pay the rent, you are the pillar of the company, and of course the company will not wronged you."

"That's it, thank you boss, wow, I didn't expect that one day I would live in such a big house, I'm so happy." Lin Fengjiao said happily.

At this time, Lin Qingxia, who was sitting next to her, spat her and said, "The house is not yours, what are you happy about, I like you to buy it so much!" ”

Hearing Lin Qingxia say this, Lin Fengjiao suddenly lost interest, sighed and said: "That house is so big and beautiful, to be honest, I have never seen such a big house when I was in Taiwan/Bay before, I don't think I can afford it in my life." ”

Seeing that the two of them were a little depressed, Ling Shizhe comforted: "Don't worry, this house looks big, but the price is not as expensive as you think, 300 million Canadian dollars can be bought, with the current income of the two of you, I want to buy it in a few years." ”

"3 million Canadian dollars, that's tens of millions of Taiwan dollars, and I'm only 300,000 Taiwan dollars when I make a movie now, how can I buy it." Lin Fengjiao said dejectedly.

At this time, Li Hanxiang scolded with a smile: "Who asked you to buy a house there, do you know who the villa there is built for?" Of course, the price is very expensive for the top dignitaries in the United States, and you won't buy a smaller villa, three or five hundred thousand Canadian dollars, which is very good. ”

"Why is it where top dignitaries live?" Lin Fengjiao looked at Ling Shizhe and asked in surprise, while Lin Qingxia also looked at him.

Ling Shizhe nodded, and told the origin of Raccoon Town, and finally said: "When the U.S. government first built it, the construction cost of each villa exceeded 30 million US dollars, and then it was abandoned, so the house price is so low. In recent years, Raccoon Town has developed very well, housing prices have rebounded, and when I first bought this town, that area, including the film and television city, was completely packaged and thrown to our company. When I first bought it, no one asked for 100,000 Canadian dollars, and it was later used as a welfare room for group executives. ”

Hearing that this town was bought by Ling Shizhe, the two daughters were very surprised, and asked in unison: "How much did you spend to buy this town?" ”

"I bought it in the 69s, and it cost about $1.8 billion in total, including the third sister's ranch at that time." Speaking of this, Ling Shizhe is very proud, many people are not optimistic about this place, but Ling Shizhe is very persistent, and he borrowed a large amount of money from the bank to take it down, and now a few years have passed, the population here is larger, and it is prosperous, and the community has become a small town, and the original investment has been taken back, and the loan has been repaid, and now he is beginning to enjoy the dividends brought by the development of the town.

There is not much monetary benefit, what really brings Ling Shizhe is a huge influence in the local area, because Ambrera has been pursuing open technology to drive the sales of semiconductor chips, so Ambrera has made great progress in recent years, by the end of this year, Ambrera has sold 60,000 personal PCs, with 3,500 US dollars per computer, 60,000 units is 210 million US dollars in revenue, and more than 10,000 servers have been sold, not to mention related software and chips.

Before this, the personal computer was just a toy sold to computer enthusiasts, and it was only some parts, which needed to be installed by themselves, and ordinary people couldn't understand it at all, but the birth of the PC changed all this, it is no longer a toy for computer enthusiasts, but can really solve various problems encountered by people in actual production and life.

People don't need to assemble themselves, in the factory they to assemble, we can buy back to use, spreadsheets, word processing, databases, with servers, nine-needle printers and switches to establish a LAN paperless office system, not only to help enterprises save costs, but also greatly improve efficiency, although it is only an 8-bit computer, than all the computers in later generations are backward can not be backward, but in the 70s, PC computers are enough to cause an office revolution.

At the beginning, the sales of PCs were not large, and many times the computers produced were digested by Ambrera by themselves, and only a few companies bought them, but with the live advertising effect of Ambrera, people gradually saw the convenience of PCs, and orders began to increase every month, especially in the past 12 months, 50,000 PC orders were received, which is the sum of the total sales of several months, not to mention the sales of related software and other office electronic products, Ling Shizhe has a strong premonition, The golden age of PCs is coming more than a decade earlier.

History has proven once again that software drives hardware sales. Hawke told him that the turnover of the software company in 75 years is expected to exceed 50 million US dollars, and the profit is expected to exceed 20 million, especially Ling Shizhe has connected the blade server software and PC software through a small optical fiber, and this kind of bundled sales will bring greater profits to the company.

After listening to this, Ling Shizhe immediately instructed Hawk not to bundle the software with our computer, because we also have to consider the interests of third-party licensing companies, and sell the software and hardware separately, so that customers can choose freely according to their own needs, so that my software will sell more. It is important to know that the third-party authorized manufacturers are the main body of Ambrera, and they have enough support to expand their territory and make the PC personal computer market bigger and stronger in the shortest possible time, so that our software and chips can obtain the greatest benefits.

In another time and space, Microsoft's peak market value exceeded $600 billion, and Oracle also exceeded $400 billion, even if the glory was no longer after the bursting of the Internet bubble after 2001, but the two companies are still giants with a market value of more than $100 billion.

Although Ambrera Software has just been established, but the development momentum is not small, the future development potential is huge, if everything according to his design of the pace of smooth development, then the future value of Ambrera Software will be more terrifying than Microsoft + Oracle.

At present, many third-party software vendors have a premonition of the future potential of the PC, and take the initiative to apply for the relevant information of the CP/M operating system from Ambrera, and develop various application software on the CP/M, and at the same time, the PC graphics operation software has also entered the R&D catalog of the Ambrera Software Laboratory.

Coming from later generations, of course, he knows what Ambrera Software will encounter in the future if it continues to develop like this, so at the beginning, Ambrera Software was registered in Silicon Valley in the United States, and it will also be listed on NASDAQ in the future, so that the risk will be further reduced.

But that's not enough, the operating system is different from the application software, and the server operating system is not worrying because it uses Bell Labs to develop? UNIX operating system, the key is the PC operating system, once CP/M becomes the standard for personal computer systems, Ambrera will be 100% subject to antitrust investigation in the future.

In order to cope with the future crisis, on the day Ambrera Software was founded, Ling Shizhe did not hand over the CP/M operating system to William. Hawke, but learn from Google's approach, open cp/m to the public for free, except for the kernel, all the source code is open to the public, after the public gets the source code, they can modify it according to their own needs, without notifying Ambrera, the only requirement is that you also want to open it to the public for free, let alone use it for economic benefits.

Although the kernel code is not developed, the interface data is also developed to the public, and if a company needs the kernel source code of CP/M, it must apply to Ambrera, and the license fee is the same as AT&T's Unix, which is 1 million US dollars.

In the future, Linux has also agreed to adopt this method, so that it can completely avoid the antitrust investigation of the US Department of Justice, and I will not make money if it is fully open, what do you want to do, the future US government is worried about the complete network? You can develop your own operating system for the government and the military, as the Chinese government did in later generations, and as for enterprise users and personal computer users, don't worry, Ambrera can develop a version for individual users and enterprise users in the future, so as to distinguish between the two users.

Still worried? On the security guard, you must know that the global security software market in the future is a large market with an annual output of 10 billion US dollars, and it has created new jobs with the United States, so why not do it.

Everyone chatted, the meals were brought up one by one, while eating and chatting, Ling Shizhe learned that the TV series "God of Cooking" filmed by Li Hanxiang has officially started broadcasting on the TV station, one episode a week, and five episodes have been released so far, and it has achieved high ratings in Chinatown.

"The viewership rate exceeded 90 percent, and even people from Southeast Asian communities such as Japanese and Korean Americans were watching Chinese TV programs produced by our company." Zhao Xiaoyun interjected: "However, the Asian market has always been a niche market in North America, and advertising does not bring much revenue. ”

"Did you break even?" Ling Shizhe knows that filming TV series in North America is not as profitable as the mainland in later generations, and the yield of TV series is far lower than that of movies, because it is very regional cultural and contemporary, and it is difficult to sell the second broadcast rights and overseas broadcast rights, so the profit of making TV series in North America is not high, and niche TV series like "Kitchen God", which is specifically aimed at the Chinese market in North America, has even less income.

Zhao Xiaoyun said with a smile: "I have already achieved a break-even, and some of them make money, although DreamWorks adopts the Hollywood film and television production system, but our manufacturing costs are far lower than the manufacturing costs of white people, the salary cost of Chinese actors and Chinese behind the scenes is much lower than that of white people, although the advertising cost is not as much as the mainstream market, but in the Chinese market, it is still very good, this positive and negative combined, although our profits are not much, but it is more than enough to feed the entire DreamWorks." ”

Ling Shizhe completely relaxed, he used to worry about the Chinese TV market in North America, the Chinese TV series filmed can not even recover the investment, now it seems that the Chinese niche market is still promising, although there are outsiders present, Zhao Xiaoyun did not disclose the specific profit figures, but Ling Shizhe from what she just said, can generally guess that the profit of each episode of "Kitchen God" should be around 70 to 1 million US dollars, because only this number can maintain the entire DreamWorks breakeven.

Not only can it be maintained, but it can also make a lot of money, because the comic "God of Cooking" has a large readership in Southeast Asia, not only has a comic version, but also cooperated with Hong Kong's "Ming Pao" group to launch a novel version.

The TV series version of "God of Cooking" was filmed in Canada, all of which are made by Hollywood, not to mention anything else, just the background, it has thrown off dozens of streets of Hong Kong's simple film and television lanes, not to mention the costumes and props, the picture quality of the whole lens is not bad at all with the picture quality of mainstream Hollywood TV, and it is sold to TV stations all over Southeast Asia, and it can definitely be sold at a good price.
