Seeing Simon return, Jennifer handed the two little guys to the waitresses, left the pool and walked over to sit down on the recliner next to him. He noticed the documents on the round table and asked Simon, "Are you going to support the ITER plan?"

"Our family's money didn't fall from the sky, but maybe it's up to the key to whether the interests of the Westeros can be guaranteed. I don't plan to do charity in such a thing," Simon said, and asked Janet next to him: "Baby, what do you think?"

Janet put a cold body on Simon, who had just taken off her shirt and trousers, and said, "Actually, I think it's a misunderstanding to develop controllable nuclear fusion."

The female assistant obviously also read the information: "You mean, Tokamak?"

"It's the entire controlled nuclear fusion plan," Janet said, lifting his little finger to the sky outside the parasol: "Actually, our planet has enjoyed controlled nuclear fusion energy for billions of years. I don't think there is anything more stable than the energy provided by the sun."

Simon and Jennifer looked into the sky together, and suddenly they were a little surprised.

According to Janet's ideas, humans are clearly already continuing to obtain inexhaustible "controllable nuclear fusion" energy, and still need to invest in research and development, which is indeed a bit of a misunderstanding.

Perhaps what we really should do is consider how to maximize solar energy.

Not to mention the huge biological circulation system of the earth under the sun, the application of solar energy by humans in modern society has long appeared. The most typical and most development potential is undoubtedly the solar photovoltaic power generation system.

However, until now, and many years after Simon's memory, photovoltaic power generation has not yet been able to escape from a shackle: that is, the solar energy converted by the photovoltaic power generation system during its life cycle has never surpassed the total amount of energy consumed in the production process of photovoltaic products.

Not only that, the production of photovoltaic products and the treatment of product scrapping will be accompanied by very serious pollution.

Therefore, the so-called clean energy statement is very unreliable.

Many wealthy people install expensive solar power systems in their luxury homes to promote themselves as environmentalists. This is actually the same as taking a private jet to attend an environmental gathering, and it is not environmentally friendly at all.

Only when the solar energy converted by photovoltaic products per unit volume in their life cycle far exceeds the investment of the product itself in various links can human beings truly utilizing sustainable solar energy.

This is a way of thinking.

Simon sat up and continued chatting with the two girls, while signaling the girl A not far away to come over, write down the thoughts he had just had, and collect some relevant information as soon as possible.

Photovoltaic products will begin to explode after the new century.

This is also a good investment direction.

Simon has always believed that if an industry wants to develop rapidly, a sustainable business model is much more effective than talking about ideals and playing gimmicks.

As he was speaking, Melbourne climbed out of the swimming pool under the care of the waitress, and ran to Simon with a little yellow duck in his hand, holding the little yellow duck in his hand, and said to Simon expectantly: "Dad, duck."

Simon took the little yellow duck handed over by his son and asked with a smile: "What's wrong, baby?"

"Dad, can I raise a real duck?"

Simon played with the little yellow duck in his hand and nodded without hesitation, "Of course," Seeing the little guy's eyes flashing, Simon quickly said, "But if you really raise a little duck, you need to take care of it yourself. Will Mel?"

Melbourne nodded without hesitation: "I can feed the ducklings every day."

Simon shook his head: "More than these, little ducks are not as smart as us humans. They will poop everywhere. If our house is dirty, since it is Mel's duck, you have to be responsible for cleaning it."

The little guy hesitated suddenly, looked at Simon and sat up next to him and looked at his mother with a smile, then turned to another mother next to him, and finally pointed to the Indian girl behind him very smartly: "Ali can clean up her father, she is a servant."

Simon shook his head again and said, "This is not possible. Ali is a servant of her parents, because her salary is paid by her parents, not you. Only when you grow up and make money can you hire your servants to do things for you. Now, you have to do everything yourself, so, baby, do you still have to raise ducks?"

The little guy hesitated for a moment, but probably because he felt the encouragement in the eyes of his father and his two mothers, he nodded quickly: "Yes."

Simon smiled and hugged his son and kissed the little guy on the forehead: "Very good, willing to take on his own responsibilities, which shows that Mel has begun to be a man. My father will send a little duck to Mel in the afternoon."

Hearing his father's praise, the little guy was very happy and said, "Dad, I want to keep the little duck in the swimming pool."

"It's still not possible. The duck is very dirty. If you poop in the swimming pool, everyone will not be able to take a shower. However, we can build a swimming pool for the duck in other places at home."

Melbourne thought for a while and felt that what his father said made sense, so he nodded again.

Zoe Parks and Qus Goff came over while the father and son were talking. Janet, who was lying on Simon's back, took a coconut and handed it over to ask Simon to help hold it. He put his head on the man's shoulder and grabbed the straw. After taking a few sips, he saw the little guy nodding and delivered the straw to Simon's mouth. He said to his son with a smirk, "And, baby, have you ever thought about what to do when a duck grows up?"

As soon as Melbourne looked over in confusion, Simon had already sent the straw back to Janet's mouth.

The little guy over three years old is not the time to get it done in one step.

Jennifer on the other side also noticed Janet's intention, glared at her with anger, got up and grabbed Melbourne and walked back towards the pool.

When his son walked away, Janet sent the straw back to Simon's mouth, turned his head to Zoe next to him and said, "I want to eat roast duck tonight."

Simon reached out and slapped Janet on the buttocks, ignored the woman's pretending to be painful and acted coquettishly. After thinking about it, he said to Zoe: "Look for two wild duck eggs. Remember that they are wild ducks, the kind that can fly, and then get an incubator and send them in the afternoon."

Zoe agreed, then looked at Janet carefully and asked Simon, "Boss, do you still want to eat roast duck?"

"No, don't eat it in the past two years." Simon said, and said to Janet, who was humming: "If you want to eat it, go out to eat it."

Janet said a few words, no longer getting tired of Simon's side, got up and walked towards the deep water area of ​​the swimming pool, and jumped gently and plunged in like a mermaid.

Simon did not join in the fun, and leaned back on the lounge chair. Seeing Zoe and Qusi holding two other coconuts, they pointed to the round table next to them: "Just put it here, you can go and have fun too."

The two women obediently put down the coconut and walked towards the swimming pool together.

While drinking coconut milk, Simon considered the meeting with Semer not long ago and the topic he had just discussed, and occasionally explained to the girl A who was standing beside him.

There were two carefully selected wild duck eggs at home in the afternoon.

Simon hopes to teach his son something through the birth and growth of two little lives and even the final departure, to teach his son something, love, responsibility, persistence, and self-reliance.

Simon always felt that no matter how much knowledge a child is instilled with, it is better to cultivate a good personality than to cultivate.

Character determines destiny.

After the weekend, Simon did not leave Los Angeles again in the new week, and even though there were still many things Simon needs to pay attention to on the East Coast or San Francisco, they canceled their trips.

I plan to stay at home for the next month.

Mainly, Sofia's due date is in August, and Simon will go to Europe to accompany her for a while.

After Terry Semer revealed to Simon about the reunion between General Electric's leader Jack Welch and Time Warner Group chairman Gerald Levin, Simon did not hear any related rumors in the next few days, nor did he deliberately inquire.

If GE can really acquire Time Warner, although Daenerys will have one more strong opponent, overall, it is still a good thing.

With the two strong teams together, Daenerys Entertainment will also be under much less potential pressure.

Moreover, judging from the information in memory, even if this merger and acquisition can be really completed, Simon doesn't think GE can manage such a huge media asset.

Jack Welch may not have too many problems when he was in power, and the abilities of this legendary professional manager are unquestionable.

However, as I remember, Jack Welch would retire in 2000.

In 2000, it also became the turning point of General Electric's prosperity and decline.

On the other hand, after being inspired by Janet on Saturday, after carefully studying the information collected by Girl A, Simon quickly included the photovoltaic industry in the key areas of attention of the Westeros system. Although photovoltaic products will not be able to break through some shackles for a long time in the future, the gimmick of clean energy is still easy to accept.

Simon also began to increase research and development in the field of impulse and reservoir batteries, mainly lithium batteries.

In fact, Tinkobaier is already doing this.

At this stage, several of Tinkobaier's main products still use traditional disposable batteries as energy, which is very inconsistent with Simon's environmental protection philosophy.

Although he has never been publicized, Simon is indeed an environmentalist at heart.

When he was very young in his previous life, Simon began to deliberately avoid using these products when he learned about the serious contamination of disposable nickel-cadmium batteries.

There are many solutions for battery-enabled batteries at this stage. Simon directly chose lithium batteries, which avoided many detours. He hopes that within the next two to three years, Tinkobaier will at least release a lithium battery product suitable for its own products. It is a kind of peripheral, and the gimmick has been considered, and it is environmentally friendly.

Of course, Tinkobaier definitely does not have the ability to produce it himself, so he still needs OEM.

Whether it is Westeros, Tinkobaier, and even Igret, they have previously invested in some lithium battery companies. Inspired by the photovoltaic industry, Simon intends to further increase his investment and even considers acquiring IBM's battery R&D and production department, mainly for technology and patents.

As a veteran electronics giant, IBM and other companies, like Panasonic Toshiba in Japan, have a self-sufficient and perfect industrial chain. With an IBM computer, IBM can produce most of the components by itself, and there is no problem with CPU.

However, Japanese companies preserved their perfect industrial chains until many years later, but European and American companies have been divesting and selling them for various reasons, and many of them have simply cut them off. This did indeed streamline costs and improve efficiency, but also missed many opportunities. Simon did not intend to reverse the future world manufacturing landscape. What he wanted to do was to seize some of the most profitable industries based on his prophet's advantages.

On the other hand, the North American summer season began to slow down after the solo day holiday.

On July 7, the second week of the solo day holiday, North American theaters mainly released two new films, one is the NC-17 new film "Dancing Girl" produced by Carloch, which is the restricted-level film that Charlize Theron almost starred last year, and the other is the "Three Steps of Murder" by Daenerys's New World Films. This is Robert Rodriguez's remake of his "The Sorrow of Killer". It is worth noting that this is the "Three Steps", not the Three Steps of the "Three Steps".

Because of the popularity created by "The Sorrow of Killer" a few years ago, New World Pictures provided 2027 screens for "The Three Steps of Murder". This B-level film with a $7 million production budget successfully won $11.03 million box office seven days after its first week, with an estimated total local box office of between $25 million and $30 million.

Of course, it cannot be compared with the two main shows in Daenerys' summer season, but it is also a good success.

Another movie "Dance Girl" is much more miserable.

This NC-17-level film that tells the Las Vegas erotic dance performance industry costs 45 million US dollars. After it was released, due to its large scale, it was full of criticism. Even if it was difficult to resist a large number of wolf friends buying tickets, the box office in the first seven days of the week was only 9.07 million US dollars, and it is unlikely that the total local box office will exceed 20 million US dollars.

Relying on overseas tax-avoidance capital to burn money, Carlock Pictures, which is not distressed, has only one super bombshell "Cuttue Island" that cooperates with Paramount. Simon personally launched this project and has been paying attention to it after the project was launched. The film is basically confirmed to be released at the end of the year. Once it fails like the original time and space, Carlock, the money-burning player, will completely withdraw from the Hollywood stage.

Immediately afterwards, July 14, another box office week, this time there are still two new films.

MGM's campus comedy "The Legend of the Concubine" and directed by Amy Hecklin, director of "Leaping Innocence", tells the story of a fashionable rich girl from Beverly Noble School transforming a new rustic female classmate. The film seems to be not very famous, but in fact, in Simon's memory, "The Legend of the Concubine" had a significant impact on many youth campus comedies such as "The Legend of the Concubine" that were later sold.

Simon cut off the sequel to "Leaping Innocence" in the past few other projects directed by Amy Hecklin in recent years have not been successful, so the budget for this new film is only $12 million.

This also fits Simon's positioning of MGM.

In addition to several blockbusters approved by Simon himself, MGM is still mainly producing medium and low-cost videos.

This summer, the budgets of MGM's three movies, "The Leader", "The King of Fighting" and "The Cyber ​​Shock" are all within $30 million.

Because of its small size, in order to avoid being crushed by the early bombshells of the summer season, MGM's three new films were placed in the backend of the summer season. "The Leader" on July 14 is the first one. Next, the game's adaptation of "The King of Fighting" is scheduled to be released on July 28. At the same time as Warner's "Future Water World", the hacker-themed film "Network Shock" starring Sandra Brock is scheduled to be released on August 11.
