The current new version of Amazon has achieved sales of 1.35 million US dollars in the first quarter of its opening. With the continuous growth of the performance in the subsequent quarters, it is not a problem for the annual revenue to exceed 6 million US dollars.

In the early 90s, the annual sales volume of the American book market was around 5 million.

According to the sales data in the first quarter, in just one year, Amazon's online shopping mall is expected to have a share of more than 5% of the book market. Such a growth rate has made the entire physical book retail industry feel like a formidable enemy.

On the other hand, the amazing sales performance achieved by Amazon's online shopping mall actually seems logical.

Different from Amazon, where Jeff Bezos started from scratch and needed to start from scratch in the original time and space, now the Amazon online store, which relies on Igret, has almost tens of millions of users of the entire World Wide Web platform as soon as it goes online. This is a huge consumer group of more than 2000 million, and they are all high-end consumer groups with the best economic status and the highest education level in the United States, so they also have reading habits and often buy books.

In addition to a large-scale high-quality user base, the new Amazon mall also has an increasingly perfect Ypay online payment system, which is far beyond the reach of the former Amazon.

Even in terms of platform capacity, because Amazon started from scratch, it could only expand its scale step by step, from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands to millions of users.

This time, the Amazon online shopping mall can support a simultaneous access capacity of 500 million people at the beginning of the platform opening.

Moreover, because of the use of cloud computing technology, Amazon was able to support simultaneous access of up to 500 million users in a single segment on the first day of its opening. scale, resulting in significant cost savings.

This kind of technology is simply breathtaking in the eyes of some technology companies in the industry who have glimpsed the clues.

Computing resources have always been an essential and very expensive cost for high-tech information companies.

If the Amazon online shopping mall does not use cloud computing technology, the huge server cost will become a big burden for the shopping mall. In order to adapt to the traffic peak, the server equipment will be greatly expanded, and it will also cause a lot of waste of computing resources during unpopular hours.

Another key aspect of logistics, based on the Blockbuster model in his impression and a lot of other information, Simon also took advantage of his foresight to allow Amazon to establish a close cooperative relationship with the US Postal Service, the largest logistics network in the United States, to the greatest extent. Ensure the user's online shopping experience.

All in all, the success of the Amazon online shopping mall should actually be regarded as the result of the accumulation of a large amount of investment in Eaglet after its establishment for several years.

It should be known that in the previous year of 1991, the total operating income of Eaglet Corporation in YWS services, online advertising, Ystore and IE browser sales reached 4.91 million US dollars, which is also not a small pioneering work in the eyes of the industry. .

However, on the other hand, behind Eaglet's annual revenue of nearly US$5 million, it has a net loss of US$3.87 million.

In the history of American business, there is very little capital that dares to spend hundreds of millions of dollars every year in an industry that has no clear prospects.You know, the entry threshold for the Forbes 1991 Rich List in the United States in 400 was only a little over US$3 million.

Moreover, the loss of 3.87 million US dollars does not only mean that Eaglet only burned 1991 million US dollars in 3.87, and nearly 5 million US dollars in revenue, basically reinvested in Eaglet’s talent recruitment, Technology research and development, publicity and marketing, data center construction and other aspects.

Many well-known technology companies at this time, such as Intel, Microsoft, Apple, Oracle, etc., only raised hundreds of thousands of dollars in the early stages of development, and then developed step by step.

With Simon's investment regardless of cost, Igret is completely a leapfrog development with super high growth.

Moreover, unlike the early blooming of the Internet industry in the original time and space, it is precisely because of Simon's spare no effort to invest that the current World Wide Web, even under the banner of openness and sharing, can be seen by anyone. The company basically monopolizes the network platform.

In the past few years, Westeros has directly created a brand new high-tech industry by uniting with a large number of technology companies such as Intel, Microsoft, Cisco, and AOL, and sparing no effort to spend a lot of money.

After reading the information, Simon casually glanced at the time in the lower right corner of the laptop, and it was almost eleven o'clock at night.

Glancing at the side, the housekeeper was still sitting upright.

With a smile on his lips, Simon put down his laptop, got up and walked to the housekeeper, and said in the flustered girl's flickering eyes, "I suddenly want you to fulfill your original promise."

After Simon finished speaking, like a robber, he stepped forward and directly picked up a stiff woman, turned and walked out of the living room.

Chapter 481 Easter

Carefully served Simon for breakfast, and respectfully sent his boss out.

After the car disappeared from sight, Zoe Parks and Isabel Dunn looked at each other and ran upstairs to the villa together.

At the door of a certain bedroom on the second floor of the Shell Villa, the two women stepped lightly at the same time, quietly pushed the door in, walked through the outer living room, came to the bedroom, and saw the situation in the room at a glance.

The big bed was clearly messed up after the fact.

The housekeeper was still asleep, lying on her stomach, with her head slightly tilted, her arms still hugging the pillow, revealing a section of her round shoulders.

However, the attention of the two women was attracted by the many 'strawberries' on the skin that the housekeeper hugged outside.

On the neck, on the arms, on the shoulders, or...under the quilt, it must be the same.

Opening her mouth slightly and looking around, Isabel looked at Zoe beside her, and whispered in a trembling voice, "It can't be, she's dead."

Isabel blinked her eyes, looked at Zooey, and whispered, "Isn't it... dead?"

Immediately, he was blindsided.

Sensing the movement around her, the housekeeper quickly opened her eyes and noticed the two heads beside the bed. After a short period of confusion, she subconsciously pulled up the quilt to cover her body, and stared at Isabel and Zoe with a small aura: " What are you doing?"

Zooey threw herself on the bed and leaned over, teasing in her tone, "Ellie, have I been dumped?"

Alice wanted to reach out and knock on Zoe's forehead, but when she realized the marks on her body, she dismissed the idea and said angrily, "Yeah, now, can you go out first?"

"Oh, women are really unreliable."

Zooey had a tone of being abandoned by a heartbreaker, her beautiful eyes flickered, and she suddenly reached out her hand.

The housekeeper had been on guard for a long time, and Zooey's attempt to pull the quilt off her body failed, so she pestered and frolicked a few times, seeing that Alice seemed to be showing signs of becoming angry, she gave up, and exited the bedroom with Isabel.

She still huddled under the quilt and waited for a while, confirming that the two guys would not barge in again, the housekeeper got out of bed, quickly locked the bedroom door, and finally felt relieved.

Turning to go to the bathroom, because he relaxed from the defensive mood just now, his body suddenly became weak, and he staggered a bit.

Entering the bathroom, turning on the faucet to put hot water, after hesitating for a while, he went to the sink and took a look in the mirror.

Then I couldn't help but dodge.

asshole!

The scene of last night could not help appearing in my mind.

Some guy said to make her beg for mercy.

How can it be!

Then, then, and then I couldn't help begging for mercy.

result.

The loser is punished.

……

I just remember biting him hard at the end.

but.

like.

Well, at least, I must have used the greatest strength I could use at the time.

An hour later, after taking a shower and cleaning up all traces, he went downstairs 'fully armed', glared at Zoe who was staring at the scarf around her neck, sat down in the dining room, and began to eat breakfast.

It took a moment to realize something.

He took a look at the 'abundant' food on the dining table, and then glared at the two girls who were sitting next to him, refusing to leave.

two guys.

Obviously intentional.

Prepared so much to eat.

But, really hungry.

Isabel propped her chin to watch the housekeeper eat. After a while, she suddenly asked, "Ellie, how big is it?"

Glancing at the way Isabel put her chest on the dining table, she said angrily, "Not as big as yours."

Isabelle smiled and stood up straight, but then she felt a little slumped, thinking of something, and asked curiously, "How did you seduce the boss?"

how?

Alice paused while eating, thinking carefully.

It seems that there is no clue.

Last night, because I was curious about him, I stared at a certain guy in a daze for a while.

However, this does not seem to be a seduction.

It's just that she was really guilty at the time, and she didn't know some details.

or.

This is where a guy suddenly gets interested.

She had expected this day a long time ago, and she had no intention of rejecting it.

just.

How exactly it happened, I don't remember much.

He recalled it carefully again, vaguely, at a certain moment in the living room last night, he looked at himself a little wrongly.

What's wrong?

can not say it clearly.

In the end, it can only be regarded as the whim of a certain man.

If you can’t figure it out, don’t think about it anymore.

After breakfast, it was already past nine o'clock in the morning.

Back to Los Angeles this time, I had something to talk to him about.

The idea of ​​embedding the instant messaging software developed by a team of Eaglet into the Amazon online store as a communication tool.

I had a chat with Jeff Bezos and the others in advance. Bezos believed that doing so would greatly increase the manual service cost of the online shopping mall because of the need to hire a large number of service personnel.Although I have no objection and think it is very necessary to do so, Ygret's current operating conditions are already at full capacity, adding another team will increase the burden on all aspects.

Moreover, the instant messaging software named ICQ by Simon himself is said to have a far longer-term layout than an online shopping mall interaction tool in a certain guy's description.

but.

Now, I decided to talk to him about these things by email.

Since she didn't plan to stay any longer, after breakfast, the housekeeper hurriedly flew to Houston, Texas.

This is a digging trip.

Eaglet's demand for high-end computer talents has been increasing, and the company has been lobbying the California government to increase the visa quota for overseas high-level technical talents.

Amazon online shopping mall is developing a new recommendation system recently, which is used to recommend books that may be of interest to users browsing the mall.

Because of the emergence of the Internet industry, there are not many professional technical talents, and we can only recruit people according to their corresponding capabilities.

In addition to basic programming, the planned recommendation system also requires some developers to have strong mathematical computing skills.

After searching several times, Alice found that NASA has many similar talents. The operation of the space shuttle and the calculation of satellite orbits are only as professional as Amazon's recommendation system. human thoughts.

After contacting during this period, some people responded because of Ygritte's generous salary.The housekeeper flew to Houston's Johnson Space Center for an interview this time, and will fly to Washington again next time.

As Easter is approaching, many college and high school students in North America have started their annual spring break, and the Easter schedule has also started.

On April 4, the week before Easter, two new films were released in North American theaters, namely Columbia Pictures' horror film "Blood Lick" and Fox Films' 10D animated film "The Last Rainforest". .

"Blood Licking Night Devil" is another adaptation of Stephen King's novel, telling the story of a half-human, half-cat sleepwalking ghost who kills people. The opening screen size of the film is 1864 yuan.

"The Last Rainforest" opened with 1401 screens, which can be regarded as a test for Fox in the field of animated films.

From April 4th to April 10th, the seven-day box office of "Licking Blood Night Demon" finally reached 4 million U.S. dollars, winning the average box office in a single week. box office curve trend.

"The Last Rainforest" failed to arouse the response that Fox wanted. With 1401 screens, the box office in the first seven days was only US$514 million. box office.

However, the production cost of this animated film is also 2000 million US dollars.

Fox can only expect the follow-up channels to earn back the cost.

This year's Easter falls on April 4, and Simon and Janet departed for Australia on April 19.

At the same time, "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2" under Daenerys Entertainment was also released on April 4, with a screen size of 17 yuan.

The success of the first "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" is more likely to be attributed to the wide popularity of this animation IP and the curiosity of the audience.

However, the real-life Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are actually not too pleasing.

After repeated consideration by the production and distribution team, the market positioning of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2" has been targeted at young audiences from the very beginning, so it focuses on exciting action design and exciting adventure elements. Media platforms for teenagers such as MTV have also become "Teenage Mutants". The focus of the announcement of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2.

The risk of this kind of adjustment is actually very high, because in the first part, children who bought tickets to enter the show out of love for cartoons accounted for a large part.

Simon, however, personally sanctioned the venture.

After all, if the original route is followed, it is very likely that it will only repeat the mistakes of the new line in the original time and space, and the box office of the sequels will not be as good as one.

A new positioning and attempt, even if it is unsuccessful, based on the popularity of the first film and the popularity of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IP, at most it will only lead to the same situation as the original time and space.

In addition to "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2", Warner Bros.' "Ghost Story" starring Patrick Swayze's "Happy City" will be released at the same time. The film tells the story of an American doctor practicing medicine in a slum in India.
