Girl C moves very quickly.

On Monday morning, February 21, the Wall Street Journal reported that Tincobaier CEO Claire Gain met with the president of the West Coast Investment Banking Division of Morgan Stanley.

The media and the public usually accustomed to refer to several major financial giants on Wall Street as a certain "investment bank". In fact, Morgan, Goldman Sachs, Lehman, and Solomon are all comprehensive financial services companies. Investment banks are just one of the many businesses of these financial giants, mainly responsible for corporate IPOs and underwriting of various types of stocks and bonds.

Therefore, the purpose of Girl C meeting with the head of the investment banking department of Morgan West Coast is self-evident.

On the same morning, in the financial sector of the Igret Portal, "internal sources" immediately gave a positive revelation that Tinkobaier was considering an initial public offering (IPO). For a time, this electronics company that has risen rapidly in recent years has quickly become the focus of attention from the outside world.

It was established in 1991. In June of that year, it made a big splash with a pricey digital camera, and its sales exceeded US$300 million in the second year of its establishment.

As if to build momentum for Tinkobaier's IPO, on February 22, Tinkobaier released its official financial report for 1993 through the Igrit portal.

Throughout 1993, Tincobaier sold 2.76 million iCam series digital cameras throughout the year, with a turnover of US$1.39 billion and a net profit of US$1.2. An electronics company achieved sales of more than US$1 billion and a net profit of over US$100 million in just three years of its establishment, which is quite rare in the entire business history. This data once again proves the broad development space of the Internet industry with a blue ocean.

February 22nd is Simon's 26th birthday.

Still passing by quietly.

If it is not considered that Girl C publicly wishes her boss a happy birthday on "Tonight Show".

After logging in to important newspapers for two consecutive days, Claire also accepted an interview with NBC's Tonight Show on Simon's birthday. The C girl with a strong business woman's aura that night was no less elegant than any actress. In the interview, she talked with Jay Renault about her ideas about founding Tinkobaier, about the development of iCam cameras in the past few years, and about her vision for the company.

Of course, there is also the question about Simon.

Girl C was very calm about this, saying that she was one of the ABCDs around Simon, and boldly expressed her admiration for her boss during work and Simon's unlimited support for her founding Tinkobaier. Occasionally, some ambiguous topics that were touching each other were inevitably avoided. Although Girl C jumped away in an understatement, the girl's unconcealed aftertaste seemed to be completely unwilling to herself, which made the audience burst into cheering.

Finally, I wish Simon a birthday. I will continue to advertise the fourth-generation iCam-40 digital camera that Tinkobaier will release during Easter. It is very consistent with the theme and gives people the feeling that this fairy is on stage to promote his own products.

Of course there are many doubts.

The San Francisco Chronicle wrote an article on Wednesday to mock the singularity of Tincobaier's products and the gap between iCam and professional digital cameras. It also analyzed that iCam is facing joint siege of major veteran electronic manufacturers, claiming that the small company with a "declining" market share may be marginalized within three years, just like Apple, which is rapidly declining.

After reaching a peak of US$7.6 billion in 1992, affected by factors such as Microsoft's rise and its own product innovation stagnation, even though the previous fiscal year 1993 still achieved a net profit of more than US$500 million, Apple's stock price still fell all the way, and its current market value has dropped to around US$4.3 billion, a drop of 43% compared with its peak.

Tincobaier, which initially relied on purchasing parts and components from other manufacturers to assemble the first generation of iCam-10, was obviously not even as good as Apple. Whether it is a Japanese, German or a strong American electronics manufacturer, relying on years of technical accumulation, it can produce better products from Tincobaier.

Tincobaier refuted the arguments of the San Francisco Chronicle on the same day.

Simon even sneered at this report.

According to this view, Motorola, Nokia and other mobile phone giants with deep technology accumulation cannot be surpassed by Apple as an "outsider".

In three years, Tinkobaier has already had its own technical accumulation, marketing model and sales network. This is the foundation for the company to continue to develop rapidly, rather than just product technology.

Compared with the San Francisco Chronicle's accusation, many professional media are more optimistic about the prospects of Tincobaier's IPO. Based on the financial results in 1993 and the company's upward momentum, the industry generally predicts that Tincobaier's IPO price-to-earnings ratio will not be lower than 20 times, which means the company's valuation of $2.4 billion.

Relying on its 15% stake in Tincobaier, C's net worth is therefore estimated to be US$360 million and US$360 million, which has basically stepped on the threshold of the US 400 richest man list. After the official IPO, the stock price rose slightly, and the former Simon Westeros personal maid may become one of the 400 richest people in the United States on this year's Forbes list.

When the media and the public were envious and moved by the life experience of Girl C, Westeros’s open and secret teams operated in the UK about the ‘mysterious luoli legion’.

If it can be not exposed, of course it is better not to be exposed.

After News Group refused to publish a report, the public relations team of Westeros system successfully intercepted the report of the incident, two mainstream newspapers, the Guardian and Daily Telegraph, tried to report on this matter, but some things that were intrigued and wanted to be exposed, and they could not be stopped.

On February 25, the Daily Mirror, another gossip newspaper in the UK that is similar to the World News, published the same article "Mysterious Luoli Legion".

While the news was published, the London Police Department also received a report.

A storm begins.

The news is really worth digging about a group of mysterious Russian girls hiding in London City who are suspected of being abducted or trained by agents.

On the day the report of the Daily Mirror was released, the villa next to Burton Park in Chelsea was surrounded by paparazzi reporters who heard the news. The private girls' schools where the girls studied and others around became the targets of media excavation.

Public opinion was raging, and the London Police immediately announced that it would formally intervene in the investigation.

Since the matter could no longer be covered up, in order to avoid London's developed tabloid system fabricating more irrelevant rumors, Simon also followed the original plan.

The next day, a person in charge of the London branch of Westeros Company convened a press conference to publicly clarify that several girls in London were special international students funded by Westeros Company, with the purpose of cultivating personal assistants for the Westeros family.

The person in charge did not hide it when he was asked by the media. The blunt explanation was similar to the assistant like Claire Gain, the founder of Tincobaier, who is being hotly discussed recently.

The British media, who were originally digging out the details and found that they were half-sized, were immediately confused.

It just admitted it openly, and it has not become lively yet.

So a lot of doubts were immediately raised.

Why are such a group of girls?

Do the girls have distinctive family backgrounds?

Are girls being trained to be abused and are they voluntarily?

More sensitive, are these underage girls having some contact with Simon Westeros and have they been hurt?

It was such a lively weekend.

On Monday, February 27, a spokesperson for the London Police Department also released a preliminary investigation report on the incident. The girls are indeed of international students funded by Westeros. All procedures are compliant and legal, and their living benefits are very generous. They have not been detained or abused.

How can this be done!

I'm not allowed to watch the fun anymore.

That, can you believe the official words?

A child protection organization in the UK immediately jumped out and asked for an investigation into the girls' situation.

The media also started to make excuses.

At the same time, the girls' life experience and selection process have also surfaced under the excavation of British magical tabloids. Westeros collects resumes on a large scale through model recruitment. Is this suspected of fraud? The girls' parents once asked to stay in the UK for accompanying care, but the parents who made this request were all rejected, and even implicated some girls who were originally selected were fired. Is Westeros's behavior bad intentions?

All these.

The melon-eating crowd only felt that the melon was getting bigger and sweeter.

Then Westeros simply released another super melon.

The Times, a subsidiary of News Corp., published a statement on February 30. In order to clarify some doubts in the media and the public, Westeros will appropriately display the lives of girls through live broadcasts on March 1.

I have never heard of live broadcasts online.

However, after the news was released, many European and American TV networks contacted Westeros to try to get the live broadcast rights. Rupert Murdoch also called Simon himself for this.

Simon did not object either. After simple communication, a live broadcast team from Sky TV in the UK was added to follow up. However, the live broadcast media only lasted for two hours, rather than the full-day tracking of live broadcasts on the Internet.

On the day the news was released, the live broadcast website address was also announced in the conspicuous location of the Igrit portal. Millions of users entered at the first time and saw only a simple video display screen. Please stay tuned for the screen.

The scheduled live broadcast time starts on March 1st for girls in London, and it is still around 9 o'clock in the evening on the west coast of the United States.

Before the live broadcast started that night, Jeff Bezos personally called Simon, with a little excitement and worry in his tone, saying that the live broadcast had not started yet, and the number of viewers waiting for viewing in the live broadcast room from all over the world has exceeded 31 million. This number is really too huge. The world's mainstream TV stations have more than 3,000 viewers, but the programs are only a handful. Moreover, after the live broadcast begins, this number will definitely increase.

Most importantly, based on the 30 million viewers, Egret Company has to bear about $200,000 in server and network bandwidth for this, and if it lasts for one month, it will be $6 million.

This is really too expensive.

Of course, Bezos also expressed his optimism about online video live broadcasts, believing that if this live broadcast is successful, Igrit may be able to invest in a live video website in advance.

In high expectations, at 5:40 am London time, the live video screen lights up on time.

The lens first falls on the living room of the villa with a simple decoration style but difficult to hide the luxurious one.

The voiceover is a very soft female voice. She briefly introduced herself to Jill, but did not give her own shots, but said directly: "It's 5:40 London time now, the girls get up, but we have to wait a moment, it's still private time. Oh, let's introduce it first, Ms. Burns, the butler of the girls."

When he heard that Jill was going to take everyone to see the girls get up, countless viewers in front of the computer screen were excited, and he was even more impatient for Jill to introduce a stern woman in black.

However, there are still no girls in the camera, but under the leadership of Ms. Burns, she briefly introduced the situation in the villa.

Even though they still hoped that the group of leprechauns selected by Simon Westero would appear as soon as possible, many viewers were still amazed by this luxurious villa. Some people who originally questioned the situation of the girls also gave up similar thoughts. If living in such an environment was considered abused, they would rather be abused for the rest of their lives.

After about ten minutes, the camera finally began to turn to the stairs, heading all the way to the second floor, aiming at the nameplate on a door: "This is Natali's room."

Then he stretched out a hand from outside the screen and knocked it.

After a while, Natali Voganova opened the door and politely invited Jill to enter. The girl had already changed into a set of practice clothes, showing her very beautiful figure, and said good morning to Jill generously and invited him to enter.

The camera follows, watching the girl skillfully tidy up the room while occasionally asking questions.

Looking at the bedroom with the same luxurious decoration, some girls who were guarding the computer screen were already looking forward to being "abuse" by Westeros.

"Nata, can I call you like that?"

"certainly."

"Speaking of this, your English is really good."

The girl sorted out her personal supplies one by one in the spacious bathroom, and smiled and said, "Thank you, I'm working very hard, but others actually said it better."

"Oh, by the way, can you explain to everyone why it is 5:40?"

Natali finally folded a towel and hung it on the shelf, took Jill out of the room, and said, "Because the boss is used to getting up at six o'clock, we must be earlier than him."

"boss?"

"Yes, Mr. Westeros," Natalie said, with a clear little admiration in her expression: "I'm looking forward to seeing him."

"Have you not seen Westeros?"

"If it weren't for the newspapers that said some time ago, we wouldn't even know who our boss is."

"Oh, then, why do you think he wanted to hide this?"

"The boss must have a reason for the boss," Natalie said, frowned slightly, and said, "So I think those newspapers are talking nonsense. We all live a good life, and the boss is also a good person."
Chapter completed!
