Things that are too ethereal will inevitably lack persuasion. After Simon's lofty ideal was ridiculed by a group of girls around him, the topic was unknowingly transformed into a more primitive and can be said to be another survival goal of the origin process.

Have a baby.

At first, the waist scent first said it, and the atmosphere became a little weird. To a large extent, the women did not know Simon's attitude, even though they had already roughly known that the man had many descendants at this time.

After the fear of becoming a father of six little guys at one time gradually faded, Simon had no objection.

Anyway, the child is born, so it is impossible for Simon to be a daddy in person.

So it was absurd overnight.

Except for a former butler who is cold and obviously not ready, the other women are not involved, especially the D girls who have just sold Instagram. The management rights of Instagram will be transferred to Igrit next. They don’t know what to do next, and raising a child seems to be a good choice.

Besides, Tinkobaier is gradually stabilizing, so there is no need to keep an eye on it too closely at the moment.

As a result, Simon was the last one to get up the next day.

It was already bright and it was still a little dazed. The woman at the foot of the mountain was a tiger, or a tiger.

After being dragged by the little Jenny who came to him to have breakfast, he came to the restaurant. It was almost nine o'clock. Girl D, Girl C and Alice were no longer there. After all, she still had to work. There was only waist semen who didn't get up much earlier than Simon. The legs semen and little Jenny were accompanied by them. They were obviously very moist. The waist semen looked at Simon's charming eyes with jokes.

Simon simply ignored it, sat down at the dining table, took the hot milk handed over by Little Jenny and took a sip, and asked, "What are you busy with recently?"

Leg cum said: "That charity fund, my wife recently arranged for us to manage a student aid program for Eastern Europe."

Simon nodded without asking any more questions.

Most of the women around me have some funds, big or small, on the surface, most of them are charitable purposes. In fact, charity is one aspect, and some real public welfare projects will definitely be done, but on the other hand, it is largely to use these charitable funds to expand the influence of the Westeros system on all aspects around 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 on the one hand, the scholarship program for Eastern Europe should be to cultivate talented young people around the Westeros system's "Solvay Program". On the other hand, it may also be to support some powerful and noble children from Eastern Europe to study in the West.

Pure charity assistance is unlikely.

Simon had considerable thoughts about this at the beginning. The most important stage of education in human society is actually primary education, not university education focused on most related charitable funds. However, although I understand, except for some purposeful donations, Simon did not intend to spread it on a large scale.

Because it was discovered that even if the widespread primary education was popularized, it still could not save humanity.

This world only requires a few super elites to work hard to move forward and bring mankind into the next era, rather than the repeated historical cycles created by mediocre most.

Next to the dining table.

Najia answered, and saw Simon just nodding, then continued, "Actually, this matter has been handled almost. Next, I just talked about it. Yasmin and I plan to do a global trip."

“Good idea.”

Yasmin said: "Simon, do you have time to accompany us for a while?"

"You guys plan first."

Little Jenny interrupted at this time: "I just said that traveling should of course be more exciting, such as logging in to some of the world's highest peaks, that, Everest."

When Simon heard this, he looked at the two big fairies beside him.

Najia nodded: "I want to try it, but as long as you make enough preparations, there will be no danger."

Simon said: "If you are interested, try it, but make sure you are not pregnant first, otherwise I will take my son to climb Mount Everest, and I will not agree."

Simon said this, all three women were a little embarrassed. There was a difference in the embarrassment. The waist sperm was a little anxious, and the little fairy was eager to try.

Then the waist cum spoke first, looking at Simon with beautiful eyes: "It happened to be right recently, I think I have a lot of hope."

"Then let's wait until the child is born before playing exciting things. Next, travel and try to go to places without danger."

The waist semen nodded obediently.

After talking about this, Simon looked at Little Jenny again: "By the way, Tinkobaier, how about the sale this time? I mean iBerry?"

Little Jenny mainly works on Instagram, but compared to the waist and legs, she is very concerned about Tinkobaier and many other companies in Silicon Valley. After all, Simon revealed that she would train Little Jenny as her next personal assistant, and this girl also worked very hard.

After hearing Simon's question, Little Jenny said: "It is unexpected that the sales will be launched on April 10 before Easter. On three days of the weekend, the sales volume of iBerry received by all parties reached 36,000 units, and the full first week is expected to be around 80,000 units. This is only North America, and it is expected to exceed 3 million units throughout the year. If it is launched globally, it is conservatively estimated that it can exceed 5 million units in the first year. Compared with a business mobile phone that focuses on high-end, the results are amazing."

Simon nodded slightly, and was also very satisfied.

In 1997 just now, the global mobile phone shipments reached 92 million units, of which Nokia, which belongs to the Westeros system, accounted for 34 million units, far behind Motorola, which ranked second with only 19 million units. This year, judging from the data in the first quarter, global mobile phone manufacturers were expected to exceed 150 million units in 1998, achieving a growth of more than 50%.

At first glance, Tinkobaier expects only 5 million units to ship iBerry to be shipped doesn't seem to be anything, but things can't be calculated that way.

The shipment volume of 5 million units may only account for about 3% of the annual shipment volume, but iBerry is a typical high-end mobile phone. Just talking about the price, Nokia's single mobile phone price this year may be at least under $100. The iBerry's pricing, not to mention the concept Ultra series, is just an ordinary model, with a price of $799.

As long as it can grow bigger, iBerry is actually like Apple once, with less than 20% of the market share, but it can account for more than 80% of the world's profits.

Of course, this is still a bit early for the iBerry series that has just started.

Simon mentioned that Jenny Little became interested and talked about the craze caused by the iBerry-10 Ultra series. Because the global limited edition is only 100,000 units, the first batch of sales last Friday. Not only was the 1,000 units sold out in seconds, but the price was quickly hyped up by the market. At present, this phone with an official price of only $2,999 in the scalper market, has even been hyped up to more than $7,000, which may exceed 10,000 at any time. So there have been special discussions within Tinkobaier, whether to expand slightly and hope to produce the scale.

Finally, it will be vetoed.

Even if the output of this mobile phone with solid materials increases by 10 times, its gross profit margin will not be too high, because it is a mobile phone that can be used as a collection for publicity. If Tinkobaier breaks his promise and increases production, the loss will only be his own interests.

In short, the more popular this concept phone is, the more beneficial it will be for the new iBerry series.

Because this is the topic, it is the popularity.

It's marketing.

After having breakfast with three women, Simon left San Francisco.

The dollar returned to San Francisco and instead went to Vandenberg Air Force Base in Santa Barbara.

Girl A who came here two days in advance was already waiting for Simon here, as well as SpaceX's president Gwen Shortville, Emmanuel Brandt of FusionTimes and others.

The reason why everyone appears here is mainly because SpaceX's first rocket, Falcon 1, is about to be launched.

Simon still adopted the original name, just like last year's Merlin engine.

However, the brand new SpaceX is already very different from the once-Musk strait team.

Only talking about launching is the case. In history, because it was not supported by several major US launch bases, SpaceX could only run to a deserted island in the Pacific Ocean when it launched its first rocket. The failure of SpaceX's first rocket was also because of the harsh environment on the deserted island at that time that the rocket components were corroded by the seawater in the air.

Now, with the entire Westeros system backed by, the brand new SpaceX can almost be said to have walked all the way with a golden spoon in it.

This is actually what Simon was most worried about at the beginning.

It is difficult for rich families to become successful, but when it comes to enterprises, it is actually the same. Many startups with strong backgrounds at the beginning of their birth have a high chance of failure. They are often small companies that have been going on all the bumpy roads, and they have the hope of growing into giants.

Because of this concern, Simon is actually harsh on the SpaceX team.

Even Simon is not short of money at all. Since SpaceX was established, money is the biggest problem for this team. Every expense of SpaceX exceeds 100,000 US dollars is required to be approved by Simon himself. At the same time, for SpaceX's company team, Simon's performance is like a weekly slim. Working overtime for more than 70 hours a week is commonplace within SpaceX.

In a word, if someone thinks that SpaceX is a company founded by Simon Westeros, he wants to come in and spend time or even make the benefits. As a result, within one month of joining the company, he either takes the initiative to leave or is kicked out.

This harsh result is also very effective.

In March last year, the Merlin-1 engine launched by SpaceX's team, with various parameters that opened their eyes wide open. Moreover, this breakthrough in 3D printing technology has greatly shortened the engine manufacturing speed and the cost has also been greatly reduced, so that it quickly won an order of up to US$1 billion, directly realizing SpaceX's self-sufficiency. This is a miracle for a startup high-tech company.

Then, it's now about a year later.

SpaceX's first rocket built based on its own technology accumulation is ready to go.

In fact, if Simon wants it, after SpaceX launched the Merlin engine last year, it will be enough to assemble the first rocket of its own and launch it within half a year.

Simon didn't do that.

One of the main reasons is that Simon hopes that SpaceX's first rocket will increase the self-production rate of parts as much as possible, which is to lower SpaceX's cost as much as possible.

One of the important reasons why the current aerospace industry is so expensive is the global supply chain system.

To put it bluntly, everyone has to eat meat. You cut and I cut, a $5 part. Because it is equipped with a space label, it directly quotes $100. It would be strange if it is not expensive. Even Russia, which has a low space launch cost, can't escape this vicious circle.

Simon didn't know what SpaceX's future would be, but now, he would never allow the company to rely on this bad habit early on.

In the end, the first SpaceX Falcon Rocket, without considering the early research and development, was the rocket itself, whose manufacturing cost was compressed by the SpaceX team to the limit of $4 million. Including the comprehensive cost of this launch, it was probably only $6 million.

That is to say, even if this launch failed, Simon just took advantage of the situation and took advantage of the situation to 6 million US dollars.

In comparison, rockets of the same size, launch quotes from countries in the East and the West generally range between 20 million and 30 million US dollars.

Even if SpaceX's commercial offer for the Falcon 1 Rocket reaches US$15 million next, it will be enough to drive other space companies around the world to a loss of time and destruction.

Not to mention that there are plans for Rockets to recover next.

Of course, Simon is not going to do that.

After all, the aerospace industry is quite sensitive, and, as the saying goes, so many people are lying on the aerospace industry to suck blood. If Simon doesn't give everyone a way out, it will be impossible to be assassinated for interests.

What's more, Simon hopes that SpaceX will operate commercially, but in fact he doesn't expect to make any money through this company.

For SpaceX, Simon's requirement is only to break through and break through.

If the company stops, Simon will abandon it without hesitation and build others.

Simon is actually doing this.

Compressing the launch cost of traditional rockets is just the first one Simon expects for the aerospace industry.

Simon's ultimate goal is a space shuttle that takes off directly from the ground runway and eventually rushes into space. When they get along, the rocket is really too primitive.

Therefore, Simon is already funding the development of a new generation of space shuttles in the NASA system. As long as SpaceX is fast enough, it will also join the relevant research and development in the future, instead of stopping after a Merlin engine or a Falcon Rocket succeeds, relying on ten years to make money through its own cost advantage.

For Simon, making money is the most waste of life.

Too wasteful.

The launch time was determined at 8 pm on April 16.

Because it was its first launch, the success rate was very low, and no one was willing to board the satellite. In the end, Simon personally confirmed that just like the former Falcon Heavy Rocket, this time, the brand-new Falcon One will give a 100-pound iBerry mobile phone model for three days.

Simon arrived at Vandenberg Air Force Base, met with Gwen Shotwell and others, and spent most of his time asking various questions in detail until the launch.
Chapter completed!
