In the conference room on 66th Street on the Upper West Side, Simon, who unconsciously began to pursue efficiency, was glad that he had just not made a decision.

Everyone spoke freely, and various proposals made Simon suddenly brightened.

Although it is not able to obtain the online broadcast rights of this Olympic Games, Igrat can take advantage of the hot topic of the Olympic Games to win the event videos of many previous Olympic Games, so that it can also purposefully select and produce various event highlights.

Another ABC executive suggested that Igret's attempt to buy the online broadcast rights of the Olympic Games was a misunderstanding.

Because it goes against YouTube's operating philosophy of insisting on being a platform only.

This also made Simon reflect.

When the topic was over, Simon quietly pointed out a Chinese character idiom on the document in front of him, and it was clear to listen to it.

Then it was quietly smeared off.

The initial hiccup allowed Simon to properly free up the time for subsequent discussions on the topic, and the meeting was not concluded until the end of the day at five o'clock.

After brainstorming, many new ideas on how to use the Olympics were put forward on the basis of some original plans, which caused Jeff Bezos, who was originally planning to leave tomorrow morning, to temporarily change his itinerary and stay until tomorrow afternoon.

At the end of the meeting, Simon, Bezos, and Iger walked out of the conference room side by side in the red brick building of Daenerys' East Coast headquarters, as Daenerys' East Coast team in Greenwich Village was formed and moved here.

After discussing a few words about work, Iger said, "Simon, the teams on both sides of us are holding a drinking party in the evening, do you want to come?"

Simon shook his head: "Dinner appointment, Mickey Kanter." ”

Jeff Bezos, who was walking on the other side, heard this name and subconsciously said, "The new Secretary of Commerce?"

"yes. ”

If it weren't for the appointment, I wouldn't have left work on time today, and I would definitely have to arrange some more work.

Again, it's about Simon's upcoming trip to China.

Everything was in place on the Westeros side, but something was wrong on the Washington side. Earlier this month, on April 3, Commerce Secretary Ron Brown, who led a U.S. trade and investment delegation to the Balkans, and his entourage suffered an air crash in Croatia, killing all 35 people on board.

There is not much to talk about the behind-the-scenes and conspiracy legends of this air crash, anyway, there are many strange things in Clinton's eight years in office. And just last Friday, April 12, Mr. President signed the appointment of a new Secretary of Commerce, Mickey Kanter, with great efficiency.

This is a confidant of Mr. President, who served as the chairman of the campaign team of the Clinton side during the 1992 election process, and after Clinton took office, he was appointed as the US Trade Representative, responsible for participating in major international economic affairs of the federation, such as the WTO formation negotiations and the US-Japan automobile trade talks.

Simon has read the other party's profile.

Average rating.

Mickey Kanter, a lawyer-turned-lawyer, is a good politician and has not been as good as he could have done financially, as evidenced by the US-Japan auto trade negotiations chaired by Mickey Kanter.

The two major trade negotiations in the United States in the past 20 years are aimed at Japan, the former is the United States and Japan semiconductor trade negotiations, although in the end the United States did not take advantage of the domestic semiconductor industry because of the migration of the domestic semiconductor industry, but it was a heavy blow to the Japanese semiconductor industry, which indirectly led to the rise of the Korean semiconductor industry.

Then there were last year's U.S.-Japan auto trade talks.

This time, although the two sides reached an agreement at the last minute, the United States actually returned with a feather. Japan has retained its auto industry, which has remained strong many years later, while the U.S. domestic auto industry continues to decline. This negotiation may be due to the fact that the Japanese have learned the lessons of the semiconductor industry and have not backed down, and the U.S. delegation's negotiating strategy mistakes are also an important reason.

It was Micky Kanter who was in charge of the negotiations.

Simon liked it.

Dealing with the government level, Simon likes to be more mediocre, although people who can climb to the core of state power are not too simple-minded, but relatively mediocre is better than too shrewd.

The three of them chatted and entered the elevator with a few attendants.

This is the tenth floor of the building, and when the elevator descends to the eighth floor, it opens again, and six well-dressed and well-dressed women appear in front of everyone, just looking at Cathy Hilton and Chrissy Jenner, who are obviously the stars of "New York Wife". The women were talking to each other until they noticed Simon in the elevator, so they all stopped to talk and looked at each other.

didn't have time to say hello, Chrissy Jenner was the first to react, in addition to Simon, Egger and Bezos, there were five other people in the elevator, including Girl A, it seemed that there would be two more at most. Chrissy Jenner grabbed a spot, and Cathy Hilton, who was closest to the elevator door, flashed her eyes slightly, but she still rushed in.

Turning around directly next to a man, Chrissy Jenner said to a few people outside the elevator: "It's a pity, let's wait for the next trip." ”

As he spoke, he reached out and pressed the elevator door.

As the elevator began to go down again, regardless of what the few who had just been pulled down thought, Chrissy Jenner turned around again, looked at Simon and beckoned, "Mr. Westeros, I'm glad to see you again." ”

Simon also showed a smile: "yes, you guys today?"

Chrissy Jenner said: "This season of 'New York Wife' is coming to an end, so let's come and record an interview. ”

"Oh, I've seen the ratings report, great season. ”

"Thank you. ”

Seeing Chrissy Jenner chatting with Simon, Cathy Hilton, who has been fighting with each other since joining "New York Wife", quickly got rid of the small hesitation just now, and took the initiative to grab the words: "Simon, I heard that you are going to visit China soon?"

"Heh, even you know?"

For this matter, Simon actually wanted to be as low-key as possible, but he couldn't keep a low profile after all.

Chrissy Jenner immediately snatched the conversation again: "I heard that China is great, I have to go and see it when I have the opportunity, Simon, where do you think I should go first if I go to China?"

Simon felt that the smell of the woman's perfume in front of him was obviously mixed with some different meanings, subconsciously glanced at the other party's chest, and said casually: "Actually, I don't know much, but the Great Wall must not be missed." ”

Chrissy Jenner noticed the man's gaze, smiled a little more charmingly, and was about to continue, when the elevator door opened.

This is the basement level.

Robert Iger and Jeff Bezos are very familiar with the automatic flash people, Simon's side in addition to Girl A, there are two other personal bodyguards, and Kris Jenner and Cathy Hilton, who naturally follow.

Looking at the two women next to him who didn't know whether it was real or pretending to hesitate, Simon took the initiative to ask, "Did you drive?"

Chrissy Jenner did not hesitate: "No, the parking space here is very tight, we came by taxi, Simon, can you take a ride?"

"Of course. As he walked towards the two identical black Mercedes-Benzes, the bodyguard had already opened the door of one of the cars, and Simon signaled to the two women: "You can take that one, and the driver will take you home." ”

Simon, who is more concerned about safety, now has at least a group of four bodyguards with him, so he travels in at least two vehicles.

Chrissy Jenner followed: "Simon, can I take a ride with you, by the way?"

"We don't necessarily drop by. ”

"Definitely on the way. ”

Saying this, seeing that Simon got into the car, and there was no objection, Chrissy Jenner glanced at Cathy Hilton demonstratively, and followed the other side of the car door opened by the bodyguard.

Cathy Hilton, who had been worried for a long time after that time, had already planned to take another car, but Chrissy Jenner took one last glance and was stimulated to simply follow. Chrissy Jenner, who was in the carriage, saw her coming and patted the middle armrest of the back seat of the limousine: "If you want to come up, you can only sit in the co-pilot." ”

As she was talking, Girl A had already gotten into the co-pilot.

Chrissy Jenner raised an eyebrow at her, but soon heard the man next to her say, "You two are women, it's okay to squeeze it." ”

Cathy Hilton, a Nugget who can marry into a wealthy family, is actually only better than Chrissy Jenner, just because of some scruples, I haven't been able to make up my mind, and when I heard the man say this, I was provoked by Chrissy Jenner and squeezed in directly.

When the car started, Simon glanced at the two women huddled together next to him, put on the back seat and the front baffle, and said to the two women: "I made an appointment to have dinner together at six o'clock, it's more important, you are not suitable for together, but you can eat in another place over there, it's a club." ”

The two women who were close together glanced at each other, and it was Chrissy Jenner who spoke first, and glanced at the man without a trace: "Simon, I'm not in a hurry to go back after the meal." ”

Simon smiled and looked at the mature woman who was in her early forties this year and still maintained fair skin and did not go astray for tanning: "By the way, you gave birth to a child last year?"

"A girl," Chrissy Jenner said, "I actually ...... Bruce wants children, though. ”

Simon's gaze subconsciously swept over the woman somewhere: "What's your name?"

"Kendall," Chrissy Jenner said, "it's Bruce's name, it means 'Valley of Light,' it's a bit of a stranger, but I think it's nice to call Kelly or something, but he's more of a father to the child." ”

"Actually, yes, I prefer names that have a special character. ”

Simon said this, his expression somewhat strange.

Kendall Jenner.

A lot of things have changed since he appeared, and, with the odds of something, except for a name, this Ken Dou is definitely no longer the Ken Dou, and after the summer of 1986, it was probably like that. But think about it again, unlike the mediocre and ugly appearance of Robert Kardashian, the father of the three Kardashian sisters, Chrissy Jenner, who was born as a flight attendant, and Bruce Jenner, who has an Olympic champion background, will definitely not be bad in appearance.

The former Ken Dou and Kelly can be seen in "Walking with the Kardashians" that they are both top beauty embryos after hours, and Ken Dou is the only one that the Kardashians can watch later, but as for Kelly, she has made herself into the style of Second Sister Kim alive.

Chrissy Jenner actually noticed some strangeness in Simon's expression, but she didn't delve into it, but after hearing the man's words, she had another thought: "Simon, I heard that the daughter of Don Johnson and Melanie Griffiths, Dakota Johnson, was named by you, and you, well, everyone said, you are the godfather of that girl?"

Chrissy mentioned that Simon thought of this little gossip that was widely circulated in Hollywood.

Just like Spielberg once had a large number of goddaughters, because he named a certain little guy and attended the other party's baptismal ceremony, it gradually spread that Simon was the godfather of Dakota Johnson. Think about the little girl who is 7 years old this year, and she hasn't seen her a few times. However, Simon didn't bother to clarify.

Mainly...... Well, somebody actually likes to be a dad.

Chrissy Jenner saw that Simon just smiled, did not object, and leaned a little to this side: "Simon, you should have been on the East Coast recently, maybe, how about tomorrow, I plan to hold a party at home, are you interested, by the way, you can take a look at Ken Dou, a very cute little guy." ”

Simon shook his head directly this time: "I'll go back to the West Coast tomorrow morning." ”

Chrissy Jenner thought it was an excuse: "If I'm not mistaken, Melisandre 19 is listed, you should be participating, right?"

"Yes, but we'll see it then. ”

It's been really busy lately, Simon has to fly to San Francisco tomorrow, then back to Los Angeles, return to New York on Friday for Melisandre's premiere, and then depart for China on Saturday, arriving on Sunday local time, and not recuperate until next week's schedule on Monday and Tuesday.

In fact, many people in the elite class are in this state of trapeze on the run for most of the year, and Simon is quite good.

Of course, I also thought about not running around like this, but there are some things that I really can't do by thinking about it, the Westeros system is now too big, even if Simon doesn't care about some monetary profits and losses, but if he puts it down and is in charge, it is likely to cause a domino effect due to some unexpected emergencies.

Many large enterprises collapse because of the slackness of their leaders.

Of course, the situation will not be like this forever, mainly because the Westeros system is now too conspicuous, and the industrial layout is still relatively concentrated, such as technology and entertainment, which account for a large proportion, and the financial business, if you dare to let go, will become a big bomb that may explode at any time. However, as long as the Westeros system and the U.S. economy integration strategy are successfully implemented, the more this matter will be advanced, and the more Simon will be able to get rid of the clutter.

When the time comes, the risk of the Westeros system will be the risk of the United States, and the dollar will hold the world hostage, and then the risk of the whole world. In order to avoid the risk of spilling over to them, there will be countless people who actively or passively defend the interests of the Westeros system.

Chrissy Jenner didn't have much expectation for inviting Simon, but she gave up after a little insistence, and said: "By the way, Simon, the iRec-10 released by Tinkobar recently, as well as the YouTube event, I also took some videos here and uploaded them, and the number of clicks is not bad, can this aspect really be developed in depth?"

The iRec-10 digital camera went on sale on April 5th, and it's only been 10 days since then.

However, in 10 days, counting the 2 million units that were sold out on the first day of sales and the overtime replenishment of the Ting Kobayr supply chain, the current global sales have exceeded 2.5 million units.

Because this is an Internet hardware peripheral, coupled with the cooperation between Tinkobar and Igrete, it is equivalent to millions of video creators at once, even if there is a capacity limit for ordinary users on the YouTube platform, after all, it can be emptied and deleted, and it is a big deal to register a few more numbers, so the content increment these days has suddenly ushered in a blowout, including the number of users who do not create videos and simply browse the website has also increased significantly.

Many people see business opportunities as a result.

On the Elite side, under Simon's guidance, Grace has started the Internet celebrity cultivation program through its new media operation department, which has been established for more than a year. Unlike the Instagram platform, which can only be monetized through marketing cooperation, YouTube can directly get advertising shares, of course, marketing cooperation is also the big head, and now it is decisive to enter the market, and it can also seize more resources before many other people have not reacted.

In the original time and space, it was not until the era of mobile Internet that the Internet celebrity economy began to become popular, and there was no shortage of Internet celebrities before that, but it was usually difficult to monetize.

At the end of the day, there is a lack of a mature business model.

Now, Simon has directly helped Grace open up his mind, how to cultivate Internet celebrities, how to monetize traffic, how to bring goods, including the operation of different channels such as social platforms and video platforms, and in the future, Elite may be able to cultivate a series of big Internet celebrities with an annual income of tens of millions just by relying on the YouTube platform.

At present, the income of the top models is actually this level.

This is also a good direction for Elite to diversify from a simple model agency, after all, actors, sports, etc., others have been deeply cultivated for too long, and it must be the blue ocean market of the Internet that is more suitable for horse racing.

And, as long as Elite is successful, there will definitely be a large number of followers to follow.

These content creators can benefit from the Internet, while also feeding the entire Internet ecosystem.

Inside the carriage.

Simon saw Chrissy Jenner asking, thinking about the ubiquity of the Kardashian family in the past, this is actually the content, so he doesn't mind ordering a few words: "Of course you can, in fact, this is a better opportunity." Unlike the regional limitations of the television industry, the Internet is global, with 500 million Internet users worldwide, nearly twice the total population of the United States, and the most powerful middle- and upper-middle-class people with the most spending power. Looking at the market capitalization of Igret, you should understand how vast the business opportunities exist in this space. ”

Chrissy Jenner's eyes quickly lit up when she heard Simon say this, and even Cathy Hilton, who was squeezed on the edge, couldn't help but prick up her ears.

"But, Simon, I don't know what to do, can you tell me about it?"

"If you go back and take a closer look at YouTube's channel classification, it's actually pretty clear. Different fashion, food, fitness, travel and other channels, as long as you grasp a little bit, patiently study the needs of users, and carefully produce the content they watch, as long as you accumulate millions of subscriptions, the income is definitely not much more than what you are participating in reality shows now. ”

Cathy Hilton finally interjected: "Simon, what do you think we are suitable for?"

"It's very simple, it's still a reality show, and you're definitely familiar with it by now. Of course, it's going to conflict with the show you're on right now, but it's just a matter of flexibility," Simon said, gesturing at Cathy Hilton, "Like, don't you have a décor design studio, so make a reality show around that theme." This should belong to the Home Channel. Well, you need to figure out the specific production ideas yourself, first of all, you can't be rigid and professional, and the audience won't like it. ”

Cathy Hilton had an idea.

Chrissy Jenner couldn't wait to ask, "Simon, what about me?"

Simon glanced at the woman and couldn't help but have some bad taste: "You have 4 daughters now?"

"Hmm? ”

"Then try doing a reality show around your daughters. In addition, because it is an online platform, the degree of freedom is very high, and the cost is very low, you can shoot with a handheld camera at home, and at most spend money to hire a professional video post-production, and the video of each issue does not need to be too long, too long in fact, no one will watch it, about ten minutes. ”

Chrissy Jenner continued to ask, "Simon, I still don't understand, how do I do that?"

Simon opened his mouth and came: "Get a camera and pull your daughter out: Hi, everyone, I'm Kim Kardashian, my puppy has a baby, take everyone to see it." ”

“......”

“......”

The two women next to them had a black question mark on their heads.

What the hell is this?

Simon said again: "Okay, change one, get a camera, and pull your daughter out: Hi, everyone, I'm Paris Hilton, and in this video, I'm going to share with you a delicious dish of charcoal-grilled chicken wings." ”

“......”

“......”

Alas, so unteachable.

It's a pity that such a good idea wastes ingredients, Simon no longer paid attention to the two dumb women, took out his mobile phone to dial, and after a while, Grace's obviously low and joyful voice came: "Simon, how can you call me?"

"Suddenly there was an inspiration, come, I'll teach you. ”

And so and so and so and

Grace obviously explained too much than the two women next to her, and agreed with a smile, saying that she would find someone to try it as soon as possible, and send it to Simon to see the sample first.

Although I don't know who Simon is talking to, looking at the man next to him, well, it can be regarded as a solemn appearance, Chrissy Jenner and Cathy Hilton secretly pay attention to it.

In short, as the man said, the cost is very low, and even if it fails, it is nothing.

It just so happens that this season of "New York Wife" is coming to an end, and the next is the summer break. A few months, enough toss, and both of them are smart enough and not lacking in ambitious women, not to mention ...... There is no shortage of daughters, pull out one or two, well, this one is very easy to operate.
