Simon and aliya come to the restaurant downstairs. The girls have already brought dinner to the table.
The waiters of the Uygur family have been trained in cooking skills. The food on the dining table is full of color, fragrance and taste. The seven girls with different temperament add a bit of beauty to the dinner.
With everyone greeting, Simon sat down in the middle of the long dining table.
The seven girls seem to be modest and polite, but from their subsequent seats, we can see the infighting.
This is the main dining room of the villa. There are 10 people sitting on both sides of the long dining table.
After Simon sat down, the youngest and youngest in the restaurant, Jennifer Bray, sat down next to the man's right hand with a small snack. Girl a seemed considerate to help the man divide the meal, but she unconsciously occupied the left position.
The remaining five girls chose to sit opposite Simon.
Yasmin Garry grabs the position directly opposite Simon. C girl and Naga are next to each other, and aliya and D girl can only sit on the edge.
The atmosphere in the restaurant was only revived after the weird game of grabbing seats ended.
Simon smiles, and after listening to the girls' introduction of which dish they cooked, he adds some food to his plate. Then he asks the opposite Yaojing, "how are you playing in Japan these days?"
Yasmin listened to Simon's question and said, "I went to see cherry blossoms with Naga. This season's Japanese cherry blossoms are really beautiful. They are like heaven. We also took many pictures. Simon, I'll show them to you after dinner."
Simon nodded, remembering that it was the cherry blossom season in Japan, noticed aliya's hope in her face, and said with a smile, "if you have time recently, you can go to Japan to see cherry blossoms, which will last until the middle of April."
Little Jeanne turned her face and said, "Simon, can you come with us?"
Simon can only shake his head: "no time."
C girl regretfully said: "I don't have time, boss. Just now IELTS talked about photos. D is looking for a project, an online photo album, which is very suitable for cooperation with my company. What do you think?"
Simon looked at Deborah, the last maid in the ABCD, and asked with a smile, "tell me more about it."
Many girls in the restaurant want to remind us that it's dinner time. However, since the man opens his mouth, we can only pretend to be curious.
Deborah didn't expect that Claire would mention this directly at the dinner table. Seeing Simon look at himself, she quickly sorted out her ideas and said, "actually, Facebook already has the photo album function, but relatively speaking, it's just a complement of Facebook. I did a survey ahead of time and found that many users prefer to send photos rather than interact with others through text on Facebook. Therefore, I think the establishment of a pure photo publishing website should have a good market prospect. "
Simon listened patiently to Deborah's presentation and asked, "what about the business model? How do you plan to make money from this website?"
D girl said: "of course, advertising, compared with text links, I believe the effect of image advertising should be better, as a picture display website, embedded image advertising will also be very convenient."
Simon asked: "do you think the current digital camera user base is enough to support a pure photo display website?"
Deborah blinked her eyes and said: "in the first quarter of this year, the ICAM shipment of C company has reached 1.69 million units, and there will probably be 8 million to 10 million units in the whole year. The most conservative estimate of the whole digital camera market in 1994 is 15 million units. With the accumulation of the past few years, it is estimated that there will be more than 20 million potential users by the end of this year, which is already very large It's not just users with digital cameras who come to the site. "
Simon also knows the data mentioned by D girl, but he always subconsciously compares it with the 1 billion and 2 billion users of similar websites.
Now start this project, really launch and develop, at least until the end of the year. By then, the number of digital camera users in the world will reach 20 million, which is really considerable.
You know, at this stage, the total number of global users of the Facebook social network of igritte company is only about 53 million. Even if it can rapidly break through 100 million or even higher in the next two years, it is far from comparable with Facebook, which has more than 2 billion users in Simon's memory.
However, even the current user volume of Facebook has made many Internet companies marvel.
If D girl's idea can succeed, fully activate the potential user group already owned at this stage, plus the pure browsing users who don't publish photos, the scale of the website will be very considerable.
Although the detailed planning is not clear, D girl's creativity is obviously close to instagram (photo wall) in Simon's memory. As one of the most successful websites in the mobile Internet era, instagram also has more than 1 billion users, and its business operation is also very outstanding. It can be said that it is one of the most successful mergers and acquisitions under Facebook.When he thinks of instagram, Simon inevitably worries that the idea of d-girl might be too far ahead. Just like AOL's predecessor planned to conduct online game and music subscription business in the early days of its establishment, this idea was obviously far ahead in the early 1980s.
That's what Simon thought, but he didn't intend to veto it.
D girl's idea is right, and the business model of making profit through image advertising is right. Moreover, the investment of this idea is far less than that of e-commerce and other businesses that need a lot of money.
Just after a moment's deliberation, Simon said, "this site is instagram."
Girl D was delighted and then asked, "what does instagram mean?"
Simon said, "instant telegram."
Instant telegram.
Simon's explanation is clear to all the ladies in this room. This is another innovative word, which probably means sharing photos with peers like instant telegrams. Silicon Valley Internet companies are now very popular with original words. In fact, they are not unconventional. The main reason is that by the 1990s, almost all the English words that can be thought of in human history had been used Registered as a variety of companies.
Just like apple, it had to tangle with another "Apple Records" for many years in order to get a name. Once upon a time, the accurate registered trademark of Yahoo was actually "Yahoo!" , followed by an exclamation point, because the simple word "Yahoo" has been registered in advance.
When Claire founded Tinkerbell, he made a lot of trouble for the trademark Tinkerbell.
Since it was Simon's name, girl D didn't intend to object at all. She nodded and confirmed, "boss, do you agree?"
Simon nodded and added, "I don't care if I screw it up."
D girl showed a good smile on her white face and said, "no, I'm going to cooperate with C to promote it."
Simon is not too worried.
The ABCD that Janet chose at the beginning is a very excellent girl. She has been staying in the westrow family for many years, and has been influenced by it. She has more contacts than those rookie entrepreneurs who have just left school.
Of course, with the foundation, where we can go in the future depends on the execution of girl D.
There has never been a lack of business creativity in this world. Even at this stage, there may already be pure photo sharing websites of the same type on the Internet platform. The key lies in who can stand out in the end.
With this in mind, Simon motioned to the opposite waist essence and leg essence, and said to girl D: "in fact, if you want to start this website, you need to have a good relationship with them. If the entire Vimy Corps can enter instagram, the website will definitely have millions of users in a very short time. "
The power of the star effect is very strong.
At this stage, the Weimi Legion not only has a very high popularity, but also is absolutely the most beautiful group of goblins in the world.
Yasmin and Naga have been listening to Simon's conversation with girl D. at this time, Simon's eyes flickered. They turned to look at girl D, then looked at the opposite man, and suddenly said, "Simon, can I also put some money on this website?"
"I want to have a try," she said subconsciously
"I want to invest too, boss," she said with a smile
Little Jennie leaned over Simon and rubbed: "and me, and me."
Simon raised his hand and knocked on the goblin's head: "don't join in the fun."
"Hee hee."
Simon took back his hand, picked up the tableware again, cut the black pepper steak on the plate, and said, "you can discuss it by yourself. As long as D agrees, instagram's initial investment may only cost several hundred thousand dollars. Vase fund will not participate this time."
In fact, all the girls here know that instagram can't develop fast without Simon's support. After all, instagram won't be easy to become famous without the resources of igritt portal.
Girl D is actually one of the most observant girls in the ABCD. When Simon said that, she thought about it and quickly said to other girls in the restaurant, "200000 dollars each. I'll give you 5% of the shares, and I'll take 70% myself."
Waist fine leg smart show do not know the market, but also some confusion. Claire can't help but look at it: "you're too dark, aren't you?"
Six girls in the restaurant, 200000 US dollars per person is 1.2 million US dollars, which is enough for instagram to recruit a team to complete the preliminary website design and start operation, but a girl with a lion's mouth only needs to pay 30% of the shares. Moreover, although the probability is very small, but once the failure, D girl is not a penny loss.
For many start-ups in Silicon Valley, the first angel investment is usually only about one hundred and two hundred thousand dollars.D girl is not guilty at all, insisting: "it's already very cheap, and I still need to recruit people. Now in Silicon Valley, it's very difficult for start-ups to recruit the top engineers if they don't give some shares. It's estimated that they will have to give up at least 10%."
After dinner started, aliya, who had been talking less, suddenly said, "D, maybe I can try to help find some excellent software engineers, Indians. They don't need shares, but it may be more troublesome to get a visa."
Yasmin, who was subconsciously hostile to aliya, almost blurted out, "can Indians use computers?" but when he realized that Simon was sitting opposite him, he stopped talking.
Everyone is not clear about what aliya and Simon have just discussed upstairs. They are all puzzled.
Simon saw the appearance of the girls, smiling to help Indian girls as security: "well, aliya should be able to do it, it's really cheap, and the ability is not bad."
Although the overall level of India's software industry is very low, there is no shortage of top-notch talents anywhere, as can be seen from the proportion of Indian executives in Silicon Valley. At the present stage, as long as these people can work in the United States, at least they won't want too much in the short term. With the resources and contacts of the westero system, it's easy to get a few work visas.
See Simon say so, D girl of course no problem.
The girls continued to bargain with each other. At Deborah's insistence, everyone could only get 5%.
In fact, 200000 dollars is not a lot of money for the ladies here. Even little Jenny can get 100000 dollars from Simon every year in recent years. It's not in vain to help Claire on weekdays. At worst, she can easily borrow the money.
Thinking of this, Simon looked at the girl beside him: "don't you want to graduate early this year? Help d first."
Jennifer Bree entered the computer department of Stanford University in 1991. It took her only two years to complete most of her courses. Although she is a junior this year, she will get her degree after her defense next month.
The little girl just joined in the fun with high spirits. Hearing Simon say so, she looked pitifully at her, like a cat abandoned by its owner: "Simon, I want to work beside you."
She doesn't need to work so hard if it's not for getting to the man as soon as possible.
Simon smiles and touches the girl's head: "you know what's going on recently, but you've also been in the gossip newspaper."
"I don't care."
"The main reason is that you can't come to grab a's job, and you're still so young. First you'll work for D for two years, and then you'll come back to me."
"Two years, you said."
"I promise."
"Pull hook."
"Well, don't make trouble, or another year."
“……”
So almost between talking and laughing, a new Internet project was finalized.
Even though the seven girls did not lack expectation, they did not expect that they would develop to what extent in the future when they invested in a project.
Dinner is over. It's more than eight o'clock.
Aliya and three girls a and D clean up the tableware and come to a living room next to the villa living room. They only see little Jennie lying in Simon's arms like a cat on the sofa. The little girl really has the advantage of a little girl. She is 20 years old and only 155cm tall, but she is just like a 12-year-old Laurie, and even straightens up in front of Simon She pretended to be loli. That's why everyone calls her a goblin in private.
There was a TV on in the living room, but no one was paying attention to it.
When the three women enter, Yasmin and Naga are trying on the kimono they brought back from Japan. The pink kimono with cherry blossom style is very beautiful. They are also the top clothes shelves, but the effect is not satisfactory.
Claire saw three people come in and took Alison to have a try. The effect was slightly better.
At last the girls responded.
Drag little Jennie away from Simon and dress up carefully. Although the kimono size chosen by Yasmin and Naga is not suitable for little Jennie, it's not a problem for the waist and legs who are usually dealing with clothes. They fold and tighten them skillfully, and then they get together quickly.
Finally, like dolls, the girls helped little Jennie rearrange her hair and put on her make-up. A kimono loli, which was so exquisite that people would like to take a bite at a glance, appeared in front of us.
Obviously, kimonos are more suitable for petite women.
Girl D excitedly took an ICAM and took a lot of photos for little Jennie, saying that she planned to post them on her website in the future. Then the seven girls took turns to take photos, and finally took Simon as a photographer.
So playful, when the time is approaching ten o'clock in the night, the atmosphere in the villa gradually becomes beautiful.
I'm not really going to be one man and seven women.
Although the seven girls will not refuse individually, it is not so easy to get together.Seeing that the time is almost the same, he drives a group of goblins to have a rest. Simon finally takes Yasmin and Naga upstairs to the bedroom.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
Simon and aliya come to the restaurant downstairs. The girls have already brought dinner to the table.

With the accumulation of the past few years, it is estimated that there will be more than 20 million potential users by the end of this year, which is already very large It's not just users with digital cameras who come to the site. " Simon also knows the data mentioned by D girl, but he always subconsciously compares it with the 1 billion and 2 billion users of similar websites. Now start this project, really launch and develop, at least until the end of the year. By then, the number of digital camera users in the world will reach 20 million, which is really considerable. You know, at this stage, the total number of global users of the Facebook social network of igritte company is only about 53 million. Even if it can rapidly break through 100 million or even higher in the next two years, it is far from comparable with Facebook, which has more than 2 billion users in Simon's memory. However, even the current user volume of Facebook has made many Internet companies marvel. If D girl's idea can succeed, fully activate the potential user group already owned at this stage, plus the pure browsing users who don't publish photos, the scale of the website will be very considerable. Although the detailed planning is not clear, D girl's creativity is obviously close to instagram photo wall in Simon's memory. As one of the most successful websites in the mobile Internet era, instagram also has more than 1 billion users, and its business operation is also very outstanding. It can be said that it is one of the most successful mergers and acquisitions under Facebook.When he thinks of instagram, Simon inevitably worries that the idea of d-girl might be too far ahead. Just like AOL's predecessor planned to conduct online game and music subscription business in the early days of its establishment, this idea was obviously far ahead in the early 1980s. That's what Simon thought, but he didn't intend to veto it. D girl's idea is right, and the business model of making profit through image advertising is right. Moreover, the investment of this idea is far less than that of e-commerce and other businesses that need a lot of money. Just after a moment's deliberation, Simon said, "this site is instagram." Girl D was delighted and then asked, "what does instagram mean?" Simon said, "instant telegram." Instant telegram. Simon's explanation is clear to all the ladies in this room. This is another innovative word, which probably means sharing photos with peers like instant telegrams. Silicon Valley Internet companies are now very popular with original words. In fact, they are not unconventional. The main reason is that by the 1990s, almost all the English words that can be thought of in human history had been used Registered as a variety of companies. Just like apple, it had to tangle with another "Apple Records" for many years in order to get a name. Once upon a time, the accurate registered trademark of Yahoo was actually "Yahoo!" , followed by an exclamation point, because the simple word "Yahoo" has been registered in advance. When Claire founded Tinkerbell, he made a lot of trouble for the trademark Tinkerbell. Since it was Simon's name, girl D didn't intend to object at all. She nodded and confirmed, "boss, do you agree?" Simon nodded and added, "I don't care if I screw it up." D girl showed a good smile on her white face and said, "no, I'm going to cooperate with C to promote it." Simon is not too worried. The ABCD that Janet chose at the beginning is a very excellent girl. She has been staying in the westrow family for many years, and has been influenced by it. She has more contacts than those rookie entrepreneurs who have just left school. Of course, with the foundation, where we can go in the future depends on the execution of girl D. There has never been a lack of business creativity in this world. Even at this stage, there may already be pure photo sharing websites of the same type on the Internet platform. The key lies in who can stand out in the end. With this in mind, Simon motioned to the opposite waist essence and leg essence, and said to girl D: "in fact, if you want to start this website, you need to have a good relationship with them. If the entire Vimy Corps can enter instagram, the website will definitely have millions of users in a very short time. " The power of the star effect is very strong. At this stage, the Weimi Legion not only has a very high popularity, but also is absolutely the most beautiful group of goblins in the world. Yasmin and Naga have been listening to Simon's conversation with girl D. at this time, Simon's eyes flickered. They turned to look at girl D, then looked at the opposite man, and suddenly said, "Simon, can I also put some money on this website?" "I want to have a try," she said subconsciously "I want to invest too, boss," she said with a smile Little Jennie leaned over Simon and rubbed: "and me, and me." Simon raised his hand and knocked on the goblin's head: "don't join in the fun." "Hee hee." Simon took back his hand, picked up the tableware again, cut the black pepper steak on the plate, and said, "you can discuss it by yourself. As long as D agrees, instagram's initial investment may only cost several hundred thousand dollars. Vase fund will not participate this time." In fact, all the girls here know that instagram can't develop fast without Simon's support. After all, instagram won't be easy to become famous without the resources of igritt portal. Girl D is actually one of the most observant girls in the ABCD. When Simon said that, she thought about it and quickly said to other girls in the restaurant, "200000 dollars each. I'll give you 5% of the shares, and I'll take 70% myself." Waist fine leg smart show do not know the market, but also some confusion. Claire can't help but look at it: "you're too dark, aren't you?" Six girls in the restaurant, 200000 US dollars per person is 1.2 million US dollars, which is enough for instagram to recruit a team to complete the preliminary website design and start operation, but a girl with a lion's mouth only needs to pay 30% of the shares. Moreover, although the probability is very small, but once the failure, D girl is not a penny loss. For many start-ups in Silicon Valley, the first angel investment is usually only about one hundred and two hundred thousand dollars.D girl is not guilty at all, insisting: "it's already very cheap, and I still need to recruit people. Now in Silicon Valley, it's very difficult for start-ups to recruit the top engineers if they don't give some shares. It's estimated that they will have to give up at least 10%." After dinner started, aliya, who had been talking less, suddenly said, "D, maybe I can try to help find some excellent software engineers, Indians. They don't need shares, but it may be more troublesome to get a visa." Yasmin, who was subconsciously hostile to aliya, almost blurted out, "can Indians use computers?" but when he realized that Simon was sitting opposite him, he stopped talking. Everyone is not clear about what aliya and Simon have just discussed upstairs. They are all puzzled. Simon saw the appearance of the girls, smiling to help Indian girls as security: "well, aliya should be able to do it, it's really cheap, and the ability is not bad." Although the overall level of India's software industry is very low, there is no shortage of top-notch talents anywhere, as can be seen from the proportion of Indian executives in Silicon Valley. At the present stage, as long as these people can work in the United States, at least they won't want too much in the short term. With the resources and contacts of the westero system, it's easy to get a few work visas. See Simon say so, D girl of course no problem. The girls continued to bargain with each other. At Deborah's insistence, everyone could only get 5%. In fact, 200000 dollars is not a lot of money for the ladies here. Even little Jenny can get 100000 dollars from Simon every year in recent years. It's not in vain to help Claire on weekdays. At worst, she can easily borrow the money. Thinking of this, Simon looked at the girl beside him: "don't you want to graduate early this year? Help d first." Jennifer Bree entered the computer department of Stanford University in 1991. It took her only two years to complete most of her courses. Although she is a junior this year, she will get her degree after her defense next month. The little girl just joined in the fun with high spirits. Hearing Simon say so, she looked pitifully at her, like a cat abandoned by its owner: "Simon, I want to work beside you." She doesn't need to work so hard if it's not for getting to the man as soon as possible. Simon smiles and touches the girl's head: "you know what's going on recently, but you've also been in the gossip newspaper." "I don't care." "The main reason is that you can't come to grab a's job, and you're still so young. First you'll work for D for two years, and then you'll come back to me." "Two years, you said." "I promise." "Pull hook." "Well, don't make trouble, or another year." So almost between talking and laughing, a new Internet project was finalized. Even though the seven girls did not lack expectation, they did not expect that they would develop to what extent in the future when they invested in a project. Dinner is over. It's more than eight o'clock. Aliya and three girls a and D clean up the tableware and come to a living room next to the villa living room. They only see little Jennie lying in Simon's arms like a cat on the sofa. The little girl really has the advantage of a little girl. She is 20 years old and only 155cm tall, but she is just like a 12-year-old Laurie, and even straightens up in front of Simon She pretended to be loli. That's why everyone calls her a goblin in private. There was a TV on in the living room, but no one was paying attention to it. When the three women enter, Yasmin and Naga are trying on the kimono they brought back from Japan. The pink kimono with cherry blossom style is very beautiful. They are also the top clothes shelves, but the effect is not satisfactory. Claire saw three people come in and took Alison to have a try. The effect was slightly better. At last the girls responded. Drag little Jennie away from Simon and dress up carefully. Although the kimono size chosen by Yasmin and Naga is not suitable for little Jennie, it's not a problem for the waist and legs who are usually dealing with clothes. They fold and tighten them skillfully, and then they get together quickly. Finally, like dolls, the girls helped little Jennie rearrange her hair and put on her make-up. A kimono loli, which was so exquisite that people would like to take a bite at a glance, appeared in front of us. Obviously, kimonos are more suitable for petite women. Girl D excitedly took an ICAM and took a lot of photos for little Jennie, saying that she planned to post them on her website in the future. Then the seven girls took turns to take photos, and finally took Simon as a photographer. So playful, when the time is approaching ten o'clock in the night, the atmosphere in the villa gradually becomes beautiful. I'm not really going to be one man and seven women. Although the seven girls will not refuse individually, it is not so easy to get together.Seeing that the time is almost the same, he drives a group of goblins to have a rest. Simon finally takes Yasmin and Naga upstairs to the bedroom.
