There were two more people in the restaurant, which made it even more lively. Chen Qing didn't talk much afterwards, watching the two little fairies interacting with the man with boldness and pretending to be shy and clumsy.

Over the years, Chen Qing has long understood that her boss seems to be easy to talk to Yingying and Yanyan beside her, but she really wants to get into the heart of a man... Even Chen Qing herself is not sure until now. What's more, her "clothing is not as good as new" strategy is not a vegetarian, so she is not worried about the sudden appearance of a little fairy fighting for favor.

Sure enough, after breakfast, the two little girls who thought they were very pleased by the man could only watch the man leave by taking a helicopter. Chen Qing also followed him and rushed to Manhattan, each starting the day's schedule.

Today is April 29th.

Saturday.

The weekends are mainly aimed at the working class. When it comes to Simon and Chen Qing's level, it is difficult to have any difference between different dates, because the schedule at this level is actually quite free. If you suddenly don't want to work, you can just give yourself a few days off. The key is whether the various problems that arise can be endured.

Simon arrived at Daenerys East Coast headquarters in Manhattan's Upper West Side, and the first thing he focused on was the information about iBox-10 in the past week.

It was officially launched for just one week. Not only did the iBox-10 continue to be out of stock in physical retail channels, the official price of $299 was generally hyped up to more than $1,000 in the scalper market. The orders accumulated by the pre-sales were only issued less than half of them, and it will take more than a week for the remaining delivery to be completed.

On the other hand, as a new electronic product that integrates new software and hardware systems, the bug problems that were initially worried about have emerged one after another.

In just one week, users from all over North America have actively reported more than 20 bugs. Fortunately, for the time being, they are basically software bugs that do not affect the operation of the host. Through networking patches, they can be fixed soon. Even if some users do not have the conditions or are unwilling to connect to the Internet, it will not cause too much obstacles to use.

While Tinkobaier generously rewarded all users who reported bugs, he also encountered another more serious problem.

Cracked!

For major console manufacturers, the most hated thing that is the hacker cracking of game consoles, because after cracking, users can use pirated game software smoothly, which is equivalent to cutting off the largest source of profit for the console manufacturers.

The biggest concern at the beginning of the R&D team was whether to equip iBox with networking functions, and it was also cracked.

However, in just three days, cracking software and special tutorials for iBox-10 appeared on the Internet.

Tinkobaier responded quickly to this and joined forces with Igret to directly ban the website that released the iBox-10 cracking solution. At the same time, he used the Weijia Intelligence Network to search for hackers who developed related software.

However, everyone also knows that there has never been a system that cannot be broken. This kind of blockage prevention will ultimately not prevent countless users who hope to play pirated games for free from pursuing their determination to "freedom".

Of course, there are countermeasures here.

Or connected to the Internet.

Internet connection is a double-edged sword, which not only allows users to find and use cracking software directly from the Internet, but also facilitates Tinkobaier's official restriction of users' cracking behavior through the Internet.

As long as the information feedback that the user's host is suspected of cracking is detected, of course, it cannot be directly crashed here. Although it can be done, unless the user genuinely restores the system, no matter whether it is online consumption, networking battles or other functions that require networking, they will not be able to use it again.

Real stand-alone.

Tinkobaier has considerable confidence in this, which is also a part of psychology.

Just like a person, if he is born mute, he will stop talking, but if he can communicate with others but suddenly he can't speak, it may be nothing in a short time, but over time, he may be crazy.

From the beginning, the Tinkobaier team has paid great attention to the development of various interactive functions, and this is the key.

In any case, the iBox-10 can be regarded as a phenomenal new electronic product of 2000.

In addition to the generous benefits that this console itself is expected to bring to Tinkobaier and its partners, due to the hot sale of iBox-10, the stock prices of related companies such as Tinkobaier, Egret and Daenerys also rose again in the past trading week, and many related companies benefited from it.

For example, in addition to the three giants, Scooper is worth talking about.

Scooper has successfully completed the merger and acquisition of Qualcomm. Before the Tinkobaier spring press conference, whether it is the new Scooper team after the merger or Simon who dominates all of this, they all tend to Scooper will gradually turn to the field of communication technology next.

Unexpectedly, the release of iBox-10 brought a big change to Scooper.

That's right, DVD.

Because of the advance layout of traditional electronic giants such as Toshiba and Hitachi for DVD technology, everyone originally thought that even though Daenerys had gained a certain market share for Scooper through content advantages, it was impossible to become the only one like VCD.

As a result, the iBox-10 allowed Scooper to achieve an indirect breakthrough in the DVD market.

The reason is very simple, because every iBox-10 can actually be used as a DVD. Even if it does not have the perfect functions of a professional DVD player, it is more than enough for ordinary people to watch videos on a daily basis. The iBox-10's DVD solution, including decoding chips, is naturally not allowed to flow to outsiders, and Scooper is responsible for it.

Without further ado, it is just a simple comparison. In 1999, Scooper shipped DVD video decoding chips in total only 2 million pieces. This time, the exclusive order for iBox-10 means that in just the first year, 20 million sets of DVD accessories can be guaranteed to ship.

In addition, the industry expects that the global DVD shipment will be about 30 million units in 2000, but it is still the result of the joint promotion of major manufacturers due to the pressure of Westeros system to promote VCD in Asia.

Among them, neither the Sony PS2 equipped with DVD function nor the Tinkobele iBox-10 is included. Now, the fact is that including the PS2, which is also a hot-selling one, the original number of 30 million units is equivalent to a direct double.

Compared to Sony, it is just to ensure the basic low-end configuration of the disk-reading installation program and consider related functions in advance. In addition to not having the rich functions of professional DVDs, this host is not bad at all in terms of the picture quality and tone of the DVD.

In short, the result is that the iBox-10, which is temporarily limited to the North American market, is expected to ship about 40% of the global share, that is, 12 million professional DVDs in 2000, the iBox-10 brand 'DVD' with built-in Scooper solutions, which is equivalent to directly seizing the first place in market share.

Because the iBox-10 will greatly accelerate the iteration of DVDs to traditional video recorders in North America, Blockbuster, which is also affiliated with the Westeros system, has also begun to adjust its DVD rental business.

Even though Tinkobaier minimized the purchase price of related accessories from Scooper, Scooper never thought of making too much money due to his transformational thinking, but such a huge expected shipment volume has directly driven the company's expected profits in related businesses to soar.

The most direct feedback is the stock price.

When Scober closed on Friday before the spring press conference in Tinkobaier, its market value was only US$55.3 billion. By the end of the Friday, the stock price had risen by 37% in two weeks, and its market value had reached US$76.1 billion. In less than half a month, the company brought shareholders a market value gain of more than US$20 billion.

Scooper is only one of the iBox-10 concept stocks that benefited from the same period. The collective rise of many popular stocks in the technology stock market has pushed the Nasdaq index to further break through from 6,500 points in the middle of the month to the peak of 7,000 points in March 1997.

As of yesterday's Friday closing, the Nasdaq index was frozen at a high of 7109 points, surpassing the 7045 point record set on March 34, 1997.

In the increasingly crazy trend of technology stocks, what everyone is concerned about now is how high the Nasdaq index can reach this time?

8000 points?
Chapter completed!
