Things that are too vague are always lack of persuasion. After Simon's lofty ideals are ridiculed by a group of girls around him, the topic unconsciously turns into another primitive and long-standing survival goal.
Have a baby.
At first, the waist essence came out, and the atmosphere became a little strange. To a large extent, it was the women who didn't know Simon's attitude, even though they knew that men had many children at this time.
Simon had no problem after the fear of frequent fatherhood that he had six more kids at a time last year faded away.
Anyway, when the baby is born, it's impossible for Simon to be a father himself.
So a night of absurdity.
In addition to a former housekeeper who is cold and obviously not ready to get involved, other women are quite enthusiastic, especially the D girls who have just sold instagram. The management of instagram will be transferred to igritte. They just don't know what to do next. It seems that it's also a good choice to raise a child.
In addition to girl c, dinkober is gradually stabilizing and doesn't need to be too close at present.
As a result, Simon was the last to get up the next day.
It's already daybreak, and I'm still in a trance. The woman at the foot of the mountain is a tiger.
Little Jennie, who came to call him for breakfast, came to the restaurant after bathing and washing. It was nearly nine o'clock. Girl D, girl C and Alice were no longer there. After all, they still had to work. Only waist essence, leg essence and little Jennie, who didn't get up much earlier than Simon, were with them. They were obviously very moist. Waist essence looked at Simon's amorous feelings and made fun of him.
Simon simply ignored, sat down at the table, took a sip of the hot milk from little Jennie, and asked, "what are you up to?"
Leg fine way: "that charity fund, my wife recently arranged us to run a student program for Eastern Europe."
Simon nodded without asking.
Most of the women around them hold some large or small funds. On the surface, they are all for charity purposes. In fact, charity is on the one hand, some real public welfare projects will certainly be done, but on the other hand, it is to use these charitable funds to spread the influence of the Westeros system in all aspects of the world.
Simon's personal energy is limited after all, and it is impossible to understand them one by one at the moment.
However, it can be imagined that the student aid programs for Eastern Europe, on the one hand, should focus on the "Solvay plan" of the westero system to cultivate talented young people; on the other hand, it may also be to subsidize some of the powerful children of Eastern Europe to study in the West.
It's not likely to be purely charitable.
Simon had a lot of thinking about this at the beginning. The most important stage of education in human society is primary education, rather than the university education that most charitable funds focus on. However, despite his understanding, Simon does not intend to make a large-scale donation except for some purposeful donations.
Because it is found that even the widespread popularization of primary education can not save mankind.
This world only needs a few super elites to work hard to move forward and bring mankind into the next era, rather than the historical cycle created by the mediocre majority.
At the table.
Naga replied. Seeing that Simon just nodded, she said, "in fact, this matter has already been dealt with. Next, as just mentioned, Yasmin and I are going to make a global trip."
"Good idea."
Yasmin said, "Simon, do you have time to walk with us for a while?"
"You plan first."
Little Jennie interrupted at this time: "just said, travel, of course, to stimulate some, such as climbing some of the world's highest mountains, that, Qomolangma."
Simon sniffed the words and looked at the two big goblins nearby.
Naga nodded: "want to try, in fact, as long as you do enough preparation, there will be no danger."
Simon said, "if you're interested, try it. But make sure you're not pregnant. Otherwise, I don't agree to take my son to climb Mount Everest."
Simon said that, the three women are a little embarrassed, this embarrassed also with the difference, waist spirit is some expectations, leg spirit with a little uneasy, a goblin is strongly eager to try.
Then the waist essence opened his mouth first, and his beautiful eyes looked at Simon: "recently, it happened that I had a great hope."
"Then wait for the baby to be born and play exciting. Then travel and try to go to places where there is no danger."
Yao Jing nodded obediently.
Having said that, Simon looked at little Jeanne again and said, "dinkball, how about this sale? I mean iBerry?"
Little Jennie mainly works in instagram, but she pays more attention to Tinkerbell and many other companies in Silicon Valley than the idle waist and legs. After all, Simon revealed that she wanted to train little Jennie as her next personal assistant, and she worked hard.
Listening to Simon's question, little Jennie said, "it's unexpected that iBerry will be on sale on April 10 before Easter. Three days after the weekend, the sales of iBerry will reach 36000 units, and it is expected to be around 80000 units in the first week. This is just North America, and it is expected to exceed 3 million units in the whole year. If it's spread all over the world, it's conservatively estimated that it will break through 5 million in the first year. Compared with a high-end business mobile phone, the results are amazing. "
Simon nodded slightly, equally satisfied.
Just in the past 1997, the global mobile phone shipment has reached 92 million units, of which Nokia, which belongs to the westero system, occupies 34 million units, far away from Motorola, which ranks second with only 19 million units. This year, from the data of the first quarter, in 1998, the global mobile phone manufacturers' shipment is expected to exceed 150 million units, achieving a growth of more than 50%.
At first glance, the iBerry, which tincobail expects to ship only 5 million units, doesn't seem like much, but it can't.
The shipment volume of 5 million units may only account for about 3% of the annual shipment volume. However, ibery is a typical high-end mobile phone. In other words, the price of a single Nokia mobile phone this year may be as low as $100, while the price of ibery, not to mention the Ultra Series as a concept model, is just a common model, with a price of $799.
As long as it can be bigger, iBerry is actually like apple, which used to occupy less than 20% of the market, but can occupy more than 80% of the global profits.
Of course, for the start-up iBerry series, it's a bit early.
Simon mentioned that little Jennie was also interested, and talked about the upsurge caused by the ibery-10 ultra series, because the global limit is only 100000 units. Last Friday, the first batch of 1000 units went on sale. Not only was the distribution of 1000 units empty, but also the price was quickly raised by the market.
At present, in the yellow cattle market, the official price of this mobile phone is only $2999, and the highest price has even been more than $7000, which may break the ten thousand feeling at any time. Even dinkober has had a special discussion about whether to slightly expand the production scale.
In the end, it was rejected.
Even if the production of this kind of mobile phone with solid materials increases 10 times, the gross profit rate will not be too high, because it is a mobile phone that can be used as a collection for publicity. If tincobail breaks his promise and increases the production, it will only lose his own interests.
All in all, the more popular this concept phone is, the better it will be for the new ibery series.
Because that's the topic, the heat.
After breakfast with three women, Simon left San Francisco.
Instead of returning to Los Angeles, he went to Vandenberg Air Force Base in Santa Barbara.
A girl who came here two days in advance has been waiting for Simon here, as well as Gwen schotteville, President of SpaceX and Emmanuel Brant of fusion times.
The main reason why you are here is that the first rocket of SpaceX, Falcon 1, is about to launch.
Simon still uses the original name, just like last year's Merlin engine.
However, the brand-new SpaceX is quite different from the thatched platform team of musk.
In the past, SpaceX could only go to a desert island in the Pacific Ocean when it launched its first rocket because it could not get the support of several official US launch bases. The failure of SpaceX's first rocket launch was due to the harsh environment on the desert island at that time, which caused the rocket parts to be corroded by sea water in the air.
Now, backed by the whole westero system, the brand-new SpaceX can almost be said to come all the way with a golden spoon, and the first rocket will be launched, so it will naturally find a quite superior platform.
That's what Simon was most worried about.
The rich families are as like as two peas in the enterprise. They are very similar in their business. Many early start-ups with strong backgrounds have a very high chance of failure. They are often small companies that are bumpy all the way, and are more likely to grow into Big Macs.
Because of this concern, Simon is actually harsh on the SpaceX team.
Even Simon is not short of money at all. Since SpaceX was founded, money has been the biggest problem for this team.
Every expenditure of more than $100000 in SpaceX needs Simon's personal approval. At the same time, for SpaceX's company team, Simon's performance is like a skilful job. He works more than 70 hours of overtime every week, which is common in SpaceX.
In a word, if someone thinks that SpaceX is a company founded by Simon westero, they want to come in and muddle around, or even benefit from it. As a result, within one month of their employment, they either take the initiative to leave or get swept out.
The harsh results worked, too.
In March last year, SpaceX team launched the merlin-1 engine, which was an eye opener for all parties. In addition, the breakthrough of 3D printing technology has greatly shortened the engine manufacturing speed and reduced the cost. As a result, SpaceX quickly won an order of up to 1 billion US dollars, directly realizing SpaceX's self-sufficiency, This is a miracle for a start-up high-tech company.
Then, about a year later.
SpaceX's first rocket based on its own technology accumulation is ready to go.
In fact, if Simon wants to, SpaceX will be able to assemble and launch its first rocket within six months after launching the Merlin engine last year.
Simon didn't do that.
One of the main reasons is that Simon hopes that SpaceX's first rocket can improve the self production rate of parts as much as possible, which is to reduce the cost of SpaceX as much as possible.
One of the most important reasons why the cost of the current aerospace industry is so high is the global supply chain system.
To put it bluntly, we all need to eat meat. You can make a cut, and I can make a cut. It's a 5-dollar part. Because it's attached with the aerospace label, the direct quotation is 100 dollars. It's no wonder that it's not expensive. Even Russia, which has a lower cost of space launch, can not escape this strange circle.
Simon doesn't know what the future of SpaceX will be like, but now, he absolutely doesn't allow the company to rely on this bad habit for a long time.
In the end, the first SpaceX Falcon rocket, regardless of all aspects of early research and development, was just the rocket itself. The manufacturing cost was reduced by the SpaceX team to the current limit of US $5 million. Considering the comprehensive cost of the launch, it was only about US $6 million.
That is to say, even if the launch fails, Simon will only lose 6 million dollars.
In contrast, for the same volume of rocket, the launch prices of eastern and Western countries are generally between 20 million and 30 million US dollars.
Even if the next commercial quotation of SpaceX for falcon-1 rocket reaches US $15 million, it will be enough to bring down other space companies in the world.
Not to mention the next rocket recovery plan.
Of course, Simon is not going to do that.
After all, the aerospace industry is quite sensitive. In that sentence, so many people are sucking blood from the aerospace industry. If Simon does not give everyone a living, it is not impossible that they will be assassinated because of interest disputes.
What's more, Simon wants SpaceX to do business, but he doesn't expect to make any money through the company.
For SpaceX, Simon's demand is just to break through and then break through.
If this company stops, Simon will not hesitate to abandon it and support others.
Simon is already doing that.
Reducing the launch cost of traditional rockets is only the first step Simon expects from the aerospace industry.
Simon's ultimate goal is a space shuttle that takes off directly from the ground runway and finally rushes into space. Compared with that, the rocket is too primitive.
Simon has been funding NASA's system to develop a new generation of space shuttle. As long as SpaceX is fast enough, it will also join in the related research and development. Instead of stopping after a Merlin engine or a falcon rocket is successful, he will make money through his own cost advantage for ten years.
For Simon, making money is the biggest waste of his life.
The launch was scheduled for 8 p.m. on April 16.
Because it's the first launch, the success rate is very low, and no one wants to set up a satellite. In the end, Simon decided in person. Just like the Falcon heavy rocket, this time, the brand-new falcon-1 will send a 100 pound ibery mobile phone model to the sky. If you succeed, you will focus on publicity. If you fail, it doesn't matter.
Simon arrived at Vandenberg Air Force base, met with Gwen schotteville and others, and spent most of the time asking all kinds of questions before the launch.
Time soon came to night.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
Things that are too vague are always lack of persuasion. After Simon's lofty ideals are ridiculed by a group of girls around him, the topic unconsciously turns into another primitive and long-standing survival goal.
Have a baby.
At first, the waist essence came out, and the atmosphere became a little strange. To a large extent, it was the women who didn't know Simon's attitude, even though they knew that men had many children at this time.

This year, from the data of the first quarter, in 1998, the global mobile phone manufacturers' shipment is expected to exceed 150 million units, achieving a growth of more than 50%.At first glance, the iBerry, which tincobail expects to ship only 5 million units, doesn't seem like much, but it can't.The shipment volume of 5 million units may only account for about 3% of the annual shipment volume. However, ibery is a typical high-end mobile phone. In other words, the price of a single Nokia mobile phone this year may be as low as $100, while the price of ibery, not to mention the Ultra Series as a concept model, is just a common model, with a price of $799.As long as it can be bigger, iBerry is actually like apple, which used to occupy less than 20% of the market, but can occupy more than 80% of the global profits.Of course, for the start-up iBerry series, it's a bit early.Simon mentioned that little Jennie was also interested, and talked about the upsurge caused by the ibery-10 ultra series, because the global limit is only 100000 units. Last Friday, the first batch of 1000 units went on sale. Not only was the distribution of 1000 units empty, but also the price was quickly raised by the market.At present, in the yellow cattle market, the official price of this mobile phone is only $2999, and the highest price has even been more than $7000, which may break the ten thousand feeling at any time. Even dinkober has had a special discussion about whether to slightly expand the production scale.In the end, it was rejected.Even if the production of this kind of mobile phone with solid materials increases 10 times, the gross profit rate will not be too high, because it is a mobile phone that can be used as a collection for publicity. If tincobail breaks his promise and increases the production, it will only lose his own interests.All in all, the more popular this concept phone is, the better it will be for the new ibery series.Because that's the topic, the heat.After breakfast with three women, Simon left San Francisco.Instead of returning to Los Angeles, he went to Vandenberg Air Force Base in Santa Barbara.A girl who came here two days in advance has been waiting for Simon here, as well as Gwen schotteville, President of SpaceX and Emmanuel Brant of fusion times.The main reason why you are here is that the first rocket of SpaceX, Falcon 1, is about to launch.Simon still uses the original name, just like last year's Merlin engine.However, the brand-new SpaceX is quite different from the thatched platform team of musk.In the past, SpaceX could only go to a desert island in the Pacific Ocean when it launched its first rocket because it could not get the support of several official US launch bases. The failure of SpaceX's first rocket launch was due to the harsh environment on the desert island at that time, which caused the rocket parts to be corroded by sea water in the air.Now, backed by the whole westero system, the brand-new SpaceX can almost be said to come all the way with a golden spoon, and the first rocket will be launched, so it will naturally find a quite superior platform.That's what Simon was most worried about.The rich families are as like as two peas in the enterprise. They are very similar in their business. Many early start-ups with strong backgrounds have a very high chance of failure. They are often small companies that are bumpy all the way, and are more likely to grow into Big Macs.Because of this concern, Simon is actually harsh on the SpaceX team.Even Simon is not short of money at all. Since SpaceX was founded, money has been the biggest problem for this team.Every expenditure of more than $100000 in SpaceX needs Simon's personal approval. At the same time, for SpaceX's company team, Simon's performance is like a skilful job. He works more than 70 hours of overtime every week, which is common in SpaceX.In a word, if someone thinks that SpaceX is a company founded by Simon westero, they want to come in and muddle around, or even benefit from it. As a result, within one month of their employment, they either take the initiative to leave or get swept out.The harsh results worked, too.In March last year, SpaceX team launched the merlin-1 engine, which was an eye opener for all parties. In addition, the breakthrough of 3D printing technology has greatly shortened the engine manufacturing speed and reduced the cost. As a result, SpaceX quickly won an order of up to 1 billion US dollars, directly realizing SpaceX's self-sufficiency, This is a miracle for a start-up high-tech company.Then, about a year later.SpaceX's first rocket based on its own technology accumulation is ready to go.In fact, if Simon wants to, SpaceX will be able to assemble and launch its first rocket within six months after launching the Merlin engine last year.Simon didn't do that.One of the main reasons is that Simon hopes that SpaceX's first rocket can improve the self production rate of parts as much as possible, which is to reduce the cost of SpaceX as much as possible.One of the most important reasons why the cost of the current aerospace industry is so high is the global supply chain system.To put it bluntly, we all need to eat meat. You can make a cut, and I can make a cut. It's a 5-dollar part. Because it's attached with the aerospace label, the direct quotation is 100 dollars. It's no wonder that it's not expensive. Even Russia, which has a lower cost of space launch, can not escape this strange circle.Simon doesn't know what the future of SpaceX will be like, but now, he absolutely doesn't allow the company to rely on this bad habit for a long time.In the end, the first SpaceX Falcon rocket, regardless of all aspects of early research and development, was just the rocket itself. The manufacturing cost was reduced by the SpaceX team to the current limit of US $5 million. Considering the comprehensive cost of the launch, it was only about US $6 million.That is to say, even if the launch fails, Simon will only lose 6 million dollars.In contrast, for the same volume of rocket, the launch prices of eastern and Western countries are generally between 20 million and 30 million US dollars.Even if the next commercial quotation of SpaceX for falcon-1 rocket reaches US $15 million, it will be enough to bring down other space companies in the world.Not to mention the next rocket recovery plan.Of course, Simon is not going to do that.After all, the aerospace industry is quite sensitive. In that sentence, so many people are sucking blood from the aerospace industry. If Simon does not give everyone a living, it is not impossible that they will be assassinated because of interest disputes.What's more, Simon wants SpaceX to do business, but he doesn't expect to make any money through the company.For SpaceX, Simon's demand is just to break through and then break through.If this company stops, Simon will not hesitate to abandon it and support others.Simon is already doing that.Reducing the launch cost of traditional rockets is only the first step Simon expects from the aerospace industry.Simon's ultimate goal is a space shuttle that takes off directly from the ground runway and finally rushes into space. Compared with that, the rocket is too primitive.Simon has been funding NASA's system to develop a new generation of space shuttle. As long as SpaceX is fast enough, it will also join in the related research and development. Instead of stopping after a Merlin engine or a falcon rocket is successful, he will make money through his own cost advantage for ten years.For Simon, making money is the biggest waste of his life.The launch was scheduled for 8 p.m. on April 16.Because it's the first launch, the success rate is very low, and no one wants to set up a satellite. In the end, Simon decided in person. Just like the Falcon heavy rocket, this time, the brand-new falcon-1 will send a 100 pound ibery mobile phone model to the sky. If you succeed, you will focus on publicity. If you fail, it doesn't matter.Simon arrived at Vandenberg Air Force base, met with Gwen schotteville and others, and spent most of the time asking all kinds of questions before the launch.Time soon came to night.
