Arnold. Schwarzenegger walked out of the cinema. The full-text and ad-free novels are all biquge.info on Aishang Novel Network
He just watched "Rocky", which is a script written by the lead actor Stallone himself - but this script was overhauled after being seen by Catherine, and finally became what it is now.
But I have to say that this film is very good, with an investment of only one million dollars, but it has a box office of more than 50 million, and it is still increasing.
Although he is about the same age as himself, this Stallone can already be said to be a movie star, and it is said that the protagonist of "Contra" is based on him.
Out of curiosity, Schwarzenegger played this "Contra" once in the arcade game room after leaving the movie theater.
The character in it is really similar to Stallone. But why do 2P's characters look exactly like themselves?
After playing a game, Schwarzenegger returned to his residence.
He had just arrived in the United States, and he was not very familiar with Yiqiē.
But Schwarzenegger is already planning for his future, and his career as a bodybuilder is limited.
Schwarzenegger's brain is as good as his muscles, and he's thinking about his future. He has thought about real estate, and it may be good if he publishes two books. But...... What if you become an actor like Stallone?
Schwarzenegger thought it was a good idea, but he had never made any films, and he was just thinking about it......
……
"This is 'backpacking'?"
Catherine looked at the backpack-like thing.
This is Apple's new product.
After being pitted by the Soviet Union, this also became a small comfort in Catherine's heart......
"How's the music playing?"
Catherine asked Olsen next to her.
"Not bad." Olsen's expression was relaxed: "The watch of the track is much stronger than the tape, oh, it's a real pleasure to listen to music on a CD"
Although it has been used on VCDs, digital and analog are not the same after all, and the current audio performance is also extraordinary.
And Catherine also knew that there was another reason for this - that is, the current tape technology is simply not enough, and the high-density tape of the future has no shadow at all. It would be ridiculous for a CD track to be able to match even such "inferior" tapes.
"Can you tell me?"
Although Catherine is full of confidence, she thinks it is better to "hear is believing".
Olsen nodded, then pulled out a record.
This is a record from Universal - just a demonstration product, of course.
Catherine now uses UMD standard discs, but the CD track spec is 1.1, not 1.0, because the CD track uses a different head and format than a regular CD, and the disc has special anti-counterfeiting measures to prevent leakage.
Olsen also prepared a cassette version of the same album and began to compare them separately.
Truly...... If you listen to it at first time, the CD track does feel good, and even without the control group, it will give people a "clean" and "fresh" feeling. Even Catherine, who is tone-deaf, can hear the difference.
And listening to the CD track and then listening to the music on the tape is like listening to the sound of sawing wood...... It's so rough that you can't help but want to complain.
"What a difference."
Elsa sighed too.
"Of course, how can the things I bring up be bad?"
This is the trend of future development
"What is the preliminary pricing?" Catherine asked again.
"We're pricing $399 for the time being." With such a high price, it can no longer be described as "black-hearted", but Catherine is not worried that no one will come to buy it.
As long as you can pull one person to buy this product, you can get an example of 50 dollars, in other words, as long as you pull 8 people to buy this product, then that person will not have to pay a penny, but will still make money
Not only that, the company's TV group purchase is also a big killer, and with the help of TV group buying, you can also get big discounts, just by virtue of this, Catherine does not have to worry about the price.
What's more, their own products are originally taking the high-end route, how can they do it if they don't set the price higher? "Big Brother" was 10,000 yuan back then
"If there are no problems, we can release the product after the developer conference in June, but before we can do it, we're going to split Apple."
Apple will become a high-end brand, while the orange company will go the low-end route, monopolizing the entire market from top to bottom and bottom to top.
The new Pentium computer is on sale, and it is absolutely impossible to be as affordable as it is now. The price of new computers will be raised by a notch, and at the same time, the orange company will also announce the launch of cloud systems and low-end systems, so that customers can make a difference.
An apple is set off in the middle by a bunch of oranges...... Oh, is there anything more wonderful than that?
The developer conference has been split into three, one is a display of hardware products, one is a display of game products, and one is a display of other software. Among them, Catherine pays the most attention to the display of hardware products. So she had high hopes for this CD player.
"Also, there's one more thing." Olsen said.
"How?"
"Someone offered to buy our Celeron supercomputer, but we weren't ready to sell it, but they came to the door anyway."
"Oh? Who are they? ”
Catherine came interested.
The Celeron supercomputer is arguably the fastest computer available today, using integrated circuit technology, which has never been done before in the history of supercomputers.
"Pfizer."
"Pfizer?" Catherine's eyes widened: "You...... Are you sure? ”
The other nodded.
"Wait, you mean, Dev Wei. Elder brother...... Oh, you mean that Pfizer that developed the medical yào? ”
Catherine suddenly thought that "Viagra" didn't seem to appear yet.
"Yes, it's them, only their company is called 'Pfizer'." Olsen looked at Catherine a little strangely.
Pfizer is a multinational R&D-based company with a history of more than 100 years.
Maybe a lot of people don't know about this company, but almost no one doesn't know that there is a "Wei. Brother" this product. And Wei. Brother was developed by Pfizer.
There are four great stones every second. Brother was taken up, and after a year, the profit was hundreds of millions......
The common sense of the capitalists made Catherine think of profit at once...... Great. Brother, this thing doesn't have any effect on Catherine......
"What do they say?"
"They are willing to buy three Celeron supercomputers, each of which can contribute $3 million each, for a total of 9 million."
That adds up to a profit of more than 3 million – and thankfully they don't know that the Celeron supercomputer isn't worth much anymore.
"Why don't they rent an IBM machine? Each unit costs only 10,000 US dollars a month, and it is only 120,000 yuan a year. ”
"IBM's 360 is only 3 million times per second, they don't look down on IBM at all, not to mention that IBM's products have been ......scolded recently," Olson's expression was a little strange.
Indeed, the current IBM 360 is scolded miserably because it is too slow, and Catherine is the initiator of this qiē.
Catherine's strategy has already begun to work, and it looks like IBM is not working.
However, for the time being, there is no product that can replace IBM, so the market is still controlled by IBM for the time being.
Maybe it was because Catherine had previously sold Celeron supercomputers, so Pfizer approached her.
Supercomputers are widely used, and since the birth of a supercomputer, I am afraid that it has been in a busy state all the time, calculating complex formulas that are impossible for the human brain to calculate every day, and then deducing conclusions that may take hundreds of years to reach.
It's no surprise that Pfizer would need a supercomputer. Although the number of supercomputers is very small, whether it is medicine, biology, or machinery, they are inseparable from supercomputers.
It can be said that it is precisely because of the advent of supercomputers that the future of science can develop by leaps and bounds.
"We don't sell our supercomputers separately anymore, we now choose to install supercomputers as processing hubs when we build freight networks...... But so far, only Walmart has done this. But Burger King seems to be interested in building such a network lately. ”
Catherine thought for a moment and said, "Supercomputers must be built, since Pfizer needs them, then give them to them." But we can ...... It can be under the name of a joint development. ”
You still have to do enough superficial work.
"Joint development?"
"yes, isn't our new supercomputer in development? We can have a 'secret crossing Chen Cang'. ”
Although he didn't understand what Catherine meant by "secretly crossing Chen Cang", Olsen probably understood it.
"After all, that's millions of profits......"
Millions is also money, although the company's total profits are hundreds of millions, but as the saying goes, Ma Wuyecao is not féi......
It's just a pity that the federal government doesn't have a long-term vision, if they can notice the benefits that supercomputers can bring to them, and then vigorously develop supercomputers, the future level of science and technology in the United States will definitely be able to throw other countries off a few streets.
But this is the case in all countries now, so what can be done?
Not just now, but also in the future, especially in some emerging countries.
The funniest is still in China. Applications for the use of national computers have been queued for several years, but there are still people who are blocking the construction of supercomputers, believing that they are the money of "làng taxpayers".
Since Pfizer needs it now, it would be good to give it to them, promote the development of science and technology, and build her own technology empire, Catherine has never forgotten her ultimate goal.
