Chapter 403 Birthday Party(1/2)

Simon was flipping through the business plan in his hand with all his heart, and the sound came from his ears again, and D-girl Deborah Lippman also walked in.

Motivating Deborah to sit down on the other side, Simon Yang took the C girl's business plan in her hand and asked with a smile: "Do you have any ideas?"

Deborah shook her head embarrassedly: "Not yet."

Girl D said, unable to help but look at Simon on the other side, worried that Claire would expose herself.

In fact, Girl D has also come up with a business plan, and she hopes to set up a makeup company.

However, after the commercial plan was submitted to the Vase Fund team affiliated with Cersei Capital, it failed to pass the review at all and was quickly beaten back.

Janet also said that the girls can only submit plans once every six months. If all the plans submitted within the five-year contract period fail to pass, don’t think about the investment of 10 million yuan.

Moreover, Janet also forbids them from disturbing Simon with failed plans.

Once discovered, get out of here.

After the initial excitement, the girls quickly discovered that the money from Westeros was actually not easy to get at all.

Simon was not sure about the details behind these, so he didn't know that apart from the two plans closely related to Egret by the butler Alice Ferguson, the only one that passed during this period was the only card camera plan of Girl C.

The core points in hand, such as business plans, market research, prospect forecast, investment budget, development cycle, operation ideas, etc. are clearly explained.

In some of the accompanying information, Girl C has even reached an agreement with a senior engineer who specializes in digital camera research and development, a camera giant Kodak.

As long as the project plan is approved, the engineer will leave Kodak to establish a company with C. The other party focuses on camera research and development, C. is responsible for the company's financial marketing and other affairs. The two of them share 25% of the company's shares, and the Vase Fund invested $1 million to obtain the remaining 50% of the shares.

Card cameras are actually consumer-grade digital cameras, which are opposite to professional-grade SLR digital.

The highest pixels of the top SLR digital camera of this age have reached more than 1.5 million, and the price is naturally as expensive as the camera that Simon gave to Sandra. There are tens of thousands of dollars in the past.

However, the card camera that Girl C intends to develop is only 100,000 pixels with a resolution of 320*320.

Such image quality is definitely enough for personal computers in the early 1990s, because the resolution of mainstream personal computer monitors is probably at this level. Even in a few years, the 100,000-pixel card machine that is mainly used to send network pictures is not outdated.

Since it is a thorough Internet camera, there is naturally no need to take into account the quality of the printing and printing.

Moreover, compared with the mainstream CCD sensors of this era, C Girl also plans to use CMOS sensors that have been marginalized.

Both CCD sensors and CMOS sensors were born in the 1960s and had a history of development for decades.

The advantages and disadvantages of the two sensors are also very clear. CCD sensors have excellent imaging quality, but the process is complex, expensive, and the power consumption is also very large. CMOS has low imaging quality, which is the advantage of simple technology and low energy consumption. The most important thing is that the price is cheap.

Of course, no matter how simple the process of CMOS is, it cannot be developed with just one million US dollars of investment.

The main components of this camera that C Girl plans to develop will be purchased and customized from the corresponding manufacturers. To put it bluntly, it is an assembly machine.

Of course, even Simon's Apple phone in memory, according to this idea, it is actually just an assembly machine.

The senior engineer who plans to change jobs from Kodak is mainly responsible for developing the camera control system, combining a series of components into a whole, and optimizing the card machine cost range.

Simon's plan, Girl C hopes to ensure certain image quality and functions, the cost of this card camera in the plan is around $300, and the sales price is $500.500 is still a bit expensive for a card camera with simple functions, but it is also within the consumption capacity of middle-class users who can access the Internet in this era.

Moreover, as long as the market demand is large enough to achieve economies of scale, the cost and selling price can definitely be further reduced.

The first phase of the $1 million investment was mainly used to develop prototypes and produce the first batch of products for testing. Girl C also plans to directly conduct marketing through the Internet platform, which can save as much cost as possible.

If the market feedback meets expectations, the second round of financing will be conducted from the Vase Fund.

The duration of the entire business plan is 3 months.

After reading the business plan in hand, Simon found that he could not give any more suggestions for the time being.

Girl C's idea is absolutely correct. Even if this attempt failed, it was just that she had a vision to choose the CMOS sensor, which was enough to allow Simon to support her to continue trying.

CMOS sensor, but later the mainstream sensor for taking pictures of mobile phones.

It can be said that this card machine plan is similar to the photo phones that have been widely involved in by various manufacturers many years later.

Moreover, whether it is this card camera or the camera phone in my memory, it is the desire for people to express themselves. But many years later, everyone turned directly to the mobile social platform. At this time, this card machine focused on the PC social platform.

Since Simon launched his social networking business on the PC in advance, this card camera at this time definitely has very considerable market potential.

Think about it, when you attend a party alone, when you go out for a trip, when you are with your children, or when you have fun with your pets... Take a photo with a card camera, pull out a floppy disk, transfer it to the computer easily and quickly, and upload it to the Internet, share every bit of your life with everyone, and get likes and comments from many people around you, which can definitely bring social pleasure and satisfaction.

If card cameras become popular and users upload large amounts of pictures, they can quickly enrich the content resources of the Internet.

After closing the business plan in his hand, Simon hesitated for a while and did not say anything he planned to give the business plan extra support, and would wait for Girl C to come up with the results. So he just asked: "Is the time in the 3-month R&D period a little hurry?"

Claire shook his head and said, "Neil has completed a simple prototype in private and submitted his own plan to Kodak. However, Kodak has never paid much attention to the digital camera business. In 3 months, it is mainly to further optimize the prototype, as well as to customize and purchase and assembly of components."

C女郎嘴上说的尼尔,名叫尼尔·布兰特利,就是那位计划从柯达跳槽的高级工程师.

Simon thought for a moment and was relieved quickly.

Many electronic products in daily life are actually not as high-end as imagined. Apple's first batch of personal computers were actually a group of founders who gathered money to buy components and pieced together and soldered them in the garage. It can be said to be purely manual DIY.

Because it sold well, I got an investment later.

尼尔·布兰特利自己利用业余时间开发卡片相机,情形大致与当年史蒂夫·沃兹尼亚克发明个人电脑时类似.

For technical experts with deep professional skills, it is indeed not difficult to develop some electronic products alone.

更何况,卡片相机相比专业级的数码单反相机,技术上要简单太多.

Simon remembers that after the development of technology, ordinary people could DIY digital cameras by purchasing accessories, just like assembling a personal computer. Of course, DIY digital cameras are definitely far from comparable to professional cameras.

"Since that's the case, I don't have any suggestions for you for this business plan itself," Simon handed the folder back to Claire, saying: "But maybe you can develop an image processing software with it. Since this camera is only a basic consumer-level model, the imaging effect will definitely not be too good. Developing an image processing software, users can perform simple functions such as image cropping, brightness adjustment or adding text, is definitely very practical."

克莱尔对自己的商业方案可谓信心十足,她可不像其他一些女郎那样匆忙拿出一份方案只是想要尽快获得投资,因此前期做了很多细致工作.

I brought it tonight, just simply wanting my boss to know that he is doing this.

不过,听到图像处理软件的建议,C女郎还是眼前一亮.

Since it is a consumer-level card camera, many professional camera functions have to be abandoned for the sake of cost, which will inevitably lead to poor imaging quality. Remediation through computer software is indeed an excellent way to make up for the shortcomings of this camera.

只是,C女郎很快又道:“但是,老板,这需要额外的时间和预算.”

西蒙依稀记得Photoshop软件大概就是最近几年出现.

However, the planned image processing software definitely does not require complex functions like PS, and is more inclined to the beautiful pictures and Xiuxiu in memory.

"You can first ask if anyone has developed similar software in Silicon Valley. If there is one, you can directly cooperate with the other party, which can save software development time. If not, apply for another budget."

Simon and Claire were chatting. Deborah on the other side was just worried that Girl C would expose her. At this time, she saw that she was completely ignored, and she couldn't help but feel a little snack. She pretended to listen carefully, but her body was crowded to Simon from time to time.

如果能把自家老板‘攻略’下来,潜在价值可远不止1000万美元.

Like Jennifer Rebeld.

那位明明只是老板的情人,在老板面前的待遇却和女主人差不多,甚至比女主人还更加容易吃醋,经常会毫不留情地把她们从老板身边赶开.

西蒙一边和克莱尔说着,随手想要端起手边的杯子喝口水,手臂却碰到了几乎挨在他身上的D女郎下巴上.

Of course, understand the girl's mind.

随手在黛博拉精致的下巴上挑了下,才端起水杯.

身边的这些花瓶,本身的皮囊就足够出色,入职之后还享受着一般富豪娇妻才能支付得起的昂贵日常保养护理,确实都可以用‘精致’来形容.

黛博拉被西蒙捉住下巴,只是下意识缩了下,脸色微红,但很快又不动声色地靠了过来.

西蒙喝了几口水,放下杯子后感受着身旁贴过来的娇软身躯,笑了笑,道:“今晚就这样,都去休息吧.”

Deborah said: "Boss, do you want to take a shower?"

“I’ve washed it.”

“再洗一次也没关系啊,”黛博拉眸光流转,道:“我去帮你放水好不好?”

"not good."

西蒙说着站起身,笑着伸手在D女郎面前:“来,吻安吧.”

黛博拉很配合地捧着西蒙的手,在男人手背上吻了下,道:“晚安,主人.”

"So well-behaved."

After complimenting, Simon turned around and left the computer room.

望着自家老板身影消失,D女郎收回目光,注意到C女郎正盯着自己,微微抬了抬下巴:“怎么了?”

Girl C curled her lips and commented: "Make trouble."

D女郎不以为意,甚至都不掩饰,说道:“如果能够爬上老板的床,可比你做一百个项目都管用呢.”

"Have you climbed up?"

“这不还在努力嘛,”D女郎说着,又埋怨道:“你刚刚如果一起,说不定我们就成功了.”

克莱尔没有对黛博拉的荒唐建议有什么反感,其实,又不是没尝试过,却只是道:“然后呢?”

"What then?"

"After climbing onto the boss' bed."

Deborah tilted her head.

yes.

This is indeed a serious issue.

随着她们在西蒙身边工作,倒是也接触到不少圈子上层的逸闻趣事.
