"Ada, you're actually better-looking. I mean it. ”

Catherine came to this conclusion after watching it for a long time.

"Don't comfort me, Kate."

Ida pinched her face.

"I'm pretty confident in my figure, but this face is pretty good at best."

The aesthetic views of Europeans and Americans are really different from Catherine.

"It's you, Kate, if you go to filming, you will definitely be able to kill a lot of people. Do you know that after "Red Alert" was broadcast, everyone was fascinated by Elizabeth, and they probably didn't expect that there would be a real person! ”

Catherine shrugged.

"But Catherine, you have such a high talent, why don't you go filming?"

Catherine shook her head: "You know, Ada, I have limited energy, and the Ark Group can't do without me. ”

Indeed, Catherine is at the helm of the Ark Group, guiding the direction of the company. Without Catherine's foresight, the company would not be able to stay ahead of others. Although the future will not decay, the pace of continuing to move forward must be reduced by at least half.

"Okay, Kate. Uncle Homan once said that you are so talented that it's a pity not to act. ”

"But we have to make trade-offs, Ada."

Catherine listened to this, and suddenly felt that filming seemed to be interesting. Maybe I'll be able to try it myself in the future?

"Actually, I still think I'm better at being a director...... Who knows, maybe I'll be filming less and less in the future. ”

Catherine estimated that filming one film a year seemed to be about the same.

For the next month, Catherine stayed on the set, and although "Flags of the Fathers" could be filmed quickly, "Iwo Jima Family Letter" was very troublesome to find actors.

But it's better to shoot it out than not to shoot it out -- as a capitalist, profit comes first.

Now, U.S.-Japan relations are on the rise, which is why Japanese products are coming to the U.S. so quickly.

Japan has given a very large subsidy to the US troops stationed in Japan in the "father country," and it is impossible to split US-Japanese relations in these years.

Instead of this, it is better to ride the wind and make more extra money.

Anyway, the set has already been built, and even if you want to shoot, the cost can be saved by more than half.

What's more, the box office of the historical "Iwo Jima Family Letter" is higher than that of "The Banner of the Fathers". Catherine believes that if it can be released in Japan, the box office will definitely be "powerful".

In fact, this was filmed to appease the feelings of the Japanese. Slapping the Japanese and giving them a sweet date, what Americans like to do in this case. As for the domestic box office, Catherine is not so optimistic.

But at this time, Catherine was laughing with a market survey, because the price of the excessively low Japanese TV set had begun to rise.

"What's next?" Olsen asked, "Do you want to take advantage of the victory and chase the Japanese companies away?" ”

"No, let's let them do it, get in touch with them, I think they're in a hurry. Tell them that we can consider withdrawing the lawsuit, but—" Catherine held out another finger, "The standards are up to us." ”

Banning alone will not do, Catherine knows. And more importantly, the relationship between the United States and Japan also dictates that they can't do that.

And if you go too far, antitrust laws can get you in trouble.

Although the patent of the integrated circuit is in his own hands, he can own more than 90% of the shares of Intel!

So Catherine can't have a monopoly.

She chose the standard.

The standard is the boss, such as the later 3.5-inch floppy drive. Sony, Philips, and Panasonic each get $79 million in patent licensing money every year, and from 85 to 05 years, the patent licensing alone has allowed these three companies to get a lot of net profits.

"And, Olsen, you're the president, you should be like Sanders, and you should know how to make decisions."

Catherine's plan to sell "standard" is not too difficult for the other party to think of.

Olsen nodded: "I'm just worried that the policy is incorrect, and it will lead to losses." ”

"Losses are not terrible, the so-called CEOs, like those government officials, have to step down if they make a mistake. Executives should be held accountable. There is no one in this world who will not make mistakes, and if you make mistakes, you should make up for them yourself, rather than resign in various ways. ”,

Olsen nodded, "I see. I think that maybe the new 'Long Tube' technology will give us a more solid advantage in the TV industry, and there is nothing more fearful for us than the law." ”

"Okay, I'll write a report to the Pentagon."

Olsen nodded, and he guessed that it was probably related to Intel's Z80.

The military version of the Z80 has already come out.

The military version is actually very simple, because looking at the appearance of the Pentagon, it seems that it is mainly used for guided weapons, so it does not need to be resistant to high and low temperatures like satellites, and the most important thing is the stability of the system.

However, Catherine's report is not about this, but about taking this opportunity to make new things.

-- Fluorescent-Multilayer-Dis technology.

FMD is an optical disc format developed by Constellation-3D, but this company has not yet appeared.

Unlike regular optical discs, FMD uses fluorescent technology instead of, reflective material to store a few jù.

The fluorescent material allows the disc to be stored using three-dimensional optical numbers and to have up to 100 layers. These additional layers may allow FMDs to be capable of reaching terabyte levels while maintaining the same physical dimensions as traditional discs.

Such an FMD disc can read the disc in full spectrum, and can read hundreds of layers at a time, and the number of jù streams calculated in G per second. Historically, fluorescent optical discs were European technology, so they were banned by IBM - once this optical disc appeared, the current industry would become a joke, blue light or something, it was all floating clouds.

In 2000, the storage capacity of the first generation of FMD was as high as 50GB, and it took several years for Blu-ray technology to catch up, but it was also a few years later, and the second generation of FMD was already a terabyte-level storage weapon.

The cost of this thing is as high as 3,000 US dollars, and it is naturally impossible to give it to civilian use, but Catherine believes that the military will happily laugh at this technology.

The reason why Catherine also chose FMD, the main reason is - "spectroscopic concept".

Using this optical splitting concept to build optical fiber gate circuits and develop optical storage devices can be said to be a powerful tool, and with Catherine's optical fiber technology, it can even realize computers without photoelectric conversion.

That was decades later, but that's because it started too late.

Computers are a very new thing after all, and Catherine's Microsoft computer, although it is a joke, shows the way for other manufacturers, and Catherine can only rely on her own foresight if she wants to continue to be ahead of the curve.

Although these technologies sound far away, how can you cheat money to promote your own technology reserves without these concepts?

In line with the idea that with FC, players will never be allowed to play PS, Catherine is very selfish and planning for her future.

Just now, now, Catherine and IBM are cooperating in the development of laser discs, and on the other hand, the bright future of fluorescent discs is handed over to the Pentagon, while Catherine herself is developing the VCD format ......);
