"Boss, it's not much to further optimize the player software. Add warranty terms and replace the latest DVD hardware for iBox users for free within three years. The subsequent new products will also be updated in real time, and the latest accessories are used. This is too exaggerated. We are a game console, not a DVD player?"

"C, you think so. When faced with the needs of users, one insisted that we are game consoles, DVDs are just accessories and do not guarantee relevant experiences. The other said, dear customers, if you want to be a game console, you should be a game console, and if you want to be a DVD, you should be a DVD. So, which product will be more popular?"

"Of course...not necessarily."

Manhattan.

In the office on 66th Street in the Upper West Side, Simon is having a video call with Girl C, and the topic is about further enhancing the performance of the iBox series DVD.

Listening to Claire's obvious agreement but still deliberately sang a coquettish tone, Simon smiled and said, "I know this will definitely bring a lot of extra costs, but just consider it for the overall situation, you also understand that the rapid promotion of DVDs will have a better experience in family entertainment than videotapes, and the cost will be lower. This can greatly stimulate the further development of film and television peripherals."

"Of course I understand, boss, the problem is..." Claire looked pitiful on the other side of the screen: "We paid the cost, but we can't get any benefits. Boss, you will definitely not allow iBox to increase the price, right?"

Simon really has no choice. The profit of DVD hardware is mainly due to the major manufacturers that monopolize DVD patents to charge patent fees. Tinkobaier obviously does not have this part of the accumulation, so he can only say: "The sales share of game software is not enough for you to make money, just treat it as giving back to society."

"I don't want to give back to society. I'm not an angel," Ms. C finally pretended to stick to it. It was a little fun between men and women, without too much trouble, and quickly said: "Boss, I was wondering, can I charge a fee from the publisher, or set up a special DVD version to only play Daenerys and our stakeholders' content?"

Technically, just like DVDs currently have different regional codes in different regions around the world, the idea described by Girl C is feasible. But, just like regional codes, Simon always feels too petty.

"No," decisively rejected, Simon remembered a sentence and smiled, "This will only narrow your own path, don't be so stingy."

Girl C had no choice but to say: "Okay, okay, just treat it as giving back to society."

After the main talk, the C girl who had just woken up on the West Coast, who was still living in her place not long after she got up, did not rush to hang up the line. She also asked a few trivial words about Girl D, mainly about Girl D's baby, Elliot Westeros, who was born in December last year, said that the little guy urinated on her last night, and he was still disgusted now.

Of course, Simon could feel the implication of Girl C. Maybe he finally began to envy her and became more enthusiastic about the matters of children.

However, there is no hurry to do this kind of thing.

Simon is not the donkey from the production team.

You have to go with the flow!

After chatting for a while, he finally hung up. Simon started the follow-up work until noon. He made an appointment to go to Rebelde's house for dinner in advance and left the company temporarily.

When they came to the Rebeldes' house, in addition to the Rebeldes and his wife, Philip and his girlfriend Nora Register, whom they had met several times.

Mainly, Philip and Nora are preparing to get married, and the wedding date is scheduled to be in July.

The reason I was so anxious is that Nora was pregnant.

This lunch was obviously also to send an invitation to Simon in person. The wedding was planned to be held in Washington, where Nora's hometown. Jennifer, on the West Coast, had already communicated with Simon in private. Simon must not miss the wedding of the woman's brother, otherwise outsiders would have thought that there was a conflict between the two families.

Therefore, when Philip took the initiative to mention it at the dining table, Simon also agreed readily.

However, Simon could see that James and Carol were not as happy as they appeared, but it was actually easy to guess.

The threshold for the Reibred family is very high. Although Register is a so-called political family, he is only a small bureaucrat in Washington after all. The entire family has not produced any big names in the past hundred years. Then, when the couple learned the news, the girl had been pregnant for more than a month and was in a hurry to get married, it was inevitable that she would wonder if her son had been cheated?

Simon is not interested in this, and, after all, they are both lawyers, so I think the Rebels and his wife will be very concerned about their son's prenuptial agreement, and there is no need for him to remind him.

Everyone discussed the details of the wedding in a lively manner, and the topic quickly turned to some recent layouts of the Westeros system. Of course, there is still a temporary outsider, so it is impossible to talk about any secrets.

Nora Register was very enthusiastic about participating in the discussion. Moreover, as a smart girl, she quickly noticed some problems from Simon's various layouts and took the initiative to propose: "Simon, I feel that you don't seem to have confidence in the federal system. Why is that?"

This question is out, let’s take a look at it together.

Simon glanced at the girl opposite and said, "So, tell me, where does your confidence in the Federation come from?"

Perhaps because of pregnancy, Nora Register lacked the frizzy like the past few times. He obviously thought it seriously for a moment and said tentatively: "Simon, the Federation is the largest economy on this planet and the only superpower. Isn't this enough?"

"When it comes to the biggest economy," Simon asked with a smile: "Do you know when the federal government began to become the world's largest economy?"

Nora obviously happened to know the problem and smiled and said, "1890."

However, after saying this, Philip first dismantled her desk: "No, I remember, it seems to be in 1895."

Nora suddenly felt a little embarrassed and glared at her fiancé beside her coquettishly.

"Actually, it's all the same," Simon glanced at the couple who looked at the wall with a smile. He wouldn't think that the two people on the other side would break up at this critical moment because of a sentence. He could only take the initiative to smooth things out: "That period was not as accurate as the current data statistics, but it was probably the last decade of the 19th century."

Seeing Simon helping him smooth things over, Nora came over with a grateful look and asked in cooperation: "What about?"
