I’m in Hollywood Chapter 723: Rocket Man
Remember [lnmao.org] in one second, fast update, no pop-up window, free to read!
In an office upstairs in the Best Buy chain store, the expensive Toshiba handheld computer has been disassembled into scattered parts.
Eric looked at the Toshiba compact hard drive the size of a credit card in his hand, and wondered about Reiter? Jack said: "1.8 inches, it should not be so big, I think this hard drive is at least about 4 inches."
The identity of Eric is broken, Rhett? Jack is more respectful, and patiently explained: "Mr. Williams, the size of the hard disk does not refer to the external package, but the diameter of the internal disk platter."
Rhett? Jack said, took the small hard drive in the hands of Eric, and skillfully opened the back cover with a removal tool to show Eric a silver disk platter that is slightly larger than the coin inside the hard drive, saying: "These aluminum alloys Countless magnetic powder particles attached to the disc are indistinguishable to the naked eye, and the arrangement of 0 and 1 is performed by the operation of the magnetic head to record data. "
Linda Evangelista has been a very quiet listener, listening to Reiter? Jack manly and concise description, surprised: "It ’s amazing, I just heard you say that the cf card, this one is more than ten times its capacity, right? Does n’t it mean that more than one thousand photos can be stored? ”
Rhett? Jack Mann ’s response to the big beauty Linda is very useful, smiling: "According to the current mainstream digital camera resolution rate, about 1600 photos can be stored."
Linda asked: "Why do digital camera use a cf card with a very small storage capacity instead of such a hard disk?"
Rhett? Jack said: "This involves too many factors, such as technology, cost and market positioning, and even the strategic considerations of the company. For example, if I were Kodak CEO, I will limit the appearance of digital camera using hard disk storage technology as much as possible. Although Kodak produces photographic equipment, but more than 70% of their turnover comes from the film business, the emergence of large-capacity digital camera, for this company It ’s a disaster. "
Eric took back the small hard drive again. Continuing to think about MP3, heard Reiter? Jack Mann's words. I remembered the news of Kodak's sudden collapse in previous life, and nodded appreciatively. I was surprised that the other party had such a vision.
Actually, Eric ’s current identity is more inclined to the guardian of the old order. According to the position of his major shareholder of Firefly Media Group, it is in his own interest to prevent the emergence of new media and new technology. But Eric knows more clearly that it really does. In the end, it will only be eliminated by the market.
The end of previous life Sony is the best example. At the beginning of the MP3 era, the technical accumulation of Sony and the resources of music copyright far exceeded that of Apple, but it was retreating in the MP3 market. The fundamental reason is whether Sony should completely give up walkman. The decision to participate in the MP3 field has been hesitant for a long time, and even attempted to use Sony's strong position in the record industry to prevent the development of MP3 and the Internet music sales model. The result of this contrarian trend was that the once dominant player in the music player industry was completely squeezed out of the market in just a few years.
Eric knows that if he comes up with the MP3 player plan, he will definitely be resisted by several major Record Company in the future. Even the recording department within Firefly Group will be criticized, but not doing so means. This market will be handed over to outsiders, and it will be more passive at that time.
I spent two hours shopping at Best Buy. When I left, Eric took a full two large boxes and looked at it from the perspective of the future. It was completely old antique, but at this time, it was an electronic product using the most advanced technology.
Without going back to the apartment in Cindy, Eric took Linda to the house on Sixth Avenue.
After having a simple lunch, Eric began to sort out the morning scan results.
Linda turned around in this luxurious penthouse apartment overlooking the entire Central Park, stunned and slurped downstairs, seeing Eric playing with a brick in the living room full of electronic products The IBM mobile phone is occasionally tapped a few times on the open laptop. I came together and asked curiously: "Eric, such a big mobile phone. Is anyone still using it now?"
Eric was holding a IBM-mobile phone, and I saw this machine initially. Eric is also a bit surprised. Although this machine is much larger than the mainstream mobile phones that have been reduced to the size of palms, it uses touch screen operation. In addition to making calls, it also provides functions such as notepad, memo, and perpetual calendar. It ’s a smartphone, and it ’s probably the world ’s first smartphone.
It ’s 1995 now. This proves once again that technology is never a problem, but strategy is a problem. If previous life IBM can continue to invest in research and development according to this idea, it is estimated that there will not be too many things in Apple.
While shaking IBM- in hand, Eric asked Linda: "If this phone is reduced to the size of our palm, would you like to use it?"
Linda took it for a while and shook his head, said: "No interest, mobile phone, just call, these notepads and memos are useless, a tens of cents notebook can do things , Who will spend a thousand USD. "
Eric smiled and nodded. From the morning of Rhett? Jack Man, Eric learned that this bulky IBM mobile phone, as well as Apple ’s Newton tablet, Sony ’s electronic notebook, Toshiba ’s PDA, sales They are very bad, the basic reason is similar to what Linda said. These seemingly high-end electronic products do not have much market prospect because of their simple functions.
"Then let ’s make another assumption," Eric picked up the Newton tablet next to it and said: "If you can use this tablet as an e-reader, you can hold hundreds of books, then you are willing to Buy it? "
"I don't like reading books," Linda shook his head, and said: "However, as long as the price is not so expensive, people who like reading books should be willing to buy it."
"Okay, the sales failed," Eric smiled, put down the Newton tablet, and picked up Toshiba ’s small hard drive, saying: "According to the MP3 audio format developed by Yahoo, this hard drive can hold more than 50 songs. The technology has developed for several more years, and it ’s not a problem to pack two hundred songs. Then, if you have such a music box-sized music player, you can put hundreds of songs into your pocket at once. Anytime, anywhere Listen, would you buy it? "
"Of course I do." Linda nodded and pointed to the scattered electronic products in the whole room, saying: "Eric, are you buying these things, are you going to develop the kind of music player you said?"
"Yes."
Eric nodded his head. He bought these expensive and practical electronic products with low practicality, mainly wanting to understand the current technological development level of the main components in the electronic field such as LCD screens, flash memory, hard disks, lithium-ion batteries, etc. Through intuitive feelings. Confirm whether some ideas in your heart are feasible.
Although the development of flash memory capacity has not yet reached the level of manufacturing practicality MP3, the previous life once did not appear as the main storage carrier of MP3 micro-hard disk technology, but relying on the existing small hard disk and lithium-ion battery technology, developed cigarette cases The size of MP3 is not a problem. Although there is no mini body of previous life that is not much bigger than chewing gum, it is definitely more avant-garde than the walkman of Sony. Moreover, the main purpose of Eric is to hold the complete MP3 player patented technology in the hand. The patent right protects the strict Western society. At least there will be no more cases of previous life due to the obscure patent attribution, which has caused many manufacturers to produce MP3 players.
It took an afternoon to dismantle most of the electronic products I bought into a bunch of expensive parts. Eric also compiled a detailed memo to develop e-book readers, MP3 players and even smartphones.
It is out of work and the window is already sunset. Eric had planned to send this memo to several executives of Yahoo and Jorma? Ollila of Nokia, but considering that Chris told him about Microsoft a few days ago If you want to dig people from Yahoo, think about it for the time being, and plan to wait until all the dust is settled in July. You can also take the opportunity to do some preliminary preparations.
Eric found the two cardboard boxes used to hold some electronic devices in the morning, picked out some equipment and parts related to the contents of the memo, and put them in a box, and all the other at sixes and sevens things were thrown into another box. Eric clapped his hands and only remembered that Linda should still be here.
The sound of the TV is heard in the living room next to the living room. Eric walked in, and MTV TV Station was playing a fashion show on TV. Linda curled up on the sofa with a pillow and fell asleep. At this time, her exquisite body looked like a lazy cat, her body slightly fluctuated with her breathing, her blond hair covered her cheeks, her red lips opened slightly, a little less Heroic, a little more charming.
Silently looked at the perfect baby girl the creator brought to the world for a while. Eric could n’t bear to wake her up. The sofa at the foot of Linda sat down gently, sniffing the faint woman fragrance in the room, leaning on the back of the sofa chair Watched the TV quietly.
Lazy to sleep for an afternoon, in fact, when Eric walked into the living room, Linda woke up.
Curious about how Eric would react when he saw that he was asleep, Linda did not immediately open his eyes, waited patiently for a while, but felt that Eric sat down at his feet and watched the TV quietly. She was satisfied with Eric's lack of beastly hair and holding herself a hundred times, but she felt that the reaction of men was too abnormal.
So she continued to sleep, but her eyes opened secretly, and the light in the living room became dimmer. She could only see his angular side face with the light of the TV. Her makeup had been washed off in the morning. From the face, she thinks, this man's profile is quite attractive.
After a while, the program on the TV suddenly changed, and the host, Barra, played a mv.

It is the famous United Kingdom singer Elton? John's "-man", she likes this song very much, Elton? John's voice has three points of sadness, three points of depression, three points of helplessness, and the last one Hysterical.
The lyrics tell the story of a rocket man floating in space for a long time missing his hometown and missing his wife. But she even thinks this is a fable. The story about the prodigal son of the game wants to be stable but not enough. This kind of story usually happens in movies. The bodyguards, agents, and soldiers who are about to retire are always sent to perform the last mission involuntarily. Then he died as a matter of course. Of course, these people must be supporting actors. The protagonist must continue to traverse the world of the flower bush game and pull a film series to the 16th part without ending.
Before falling asleep, MTV TV Station still plays the trailer. What is the name of 007 in the sixteenth part, Oh, "GoldenEye". It seems to be released in July.
The thought ran a little, and she looked at the man sitting on the other side again. She did n’t understand the heights and the cold, and she did n’t know that the string was broken and no one listened. It was just that Basic Instinct felt that maybe he was also a Rocket man.
I feel that my body is stiff, and I am still hungry. I do n’t want to pretend to sleep again, and open my eyes. The subconscious stretched his lower body, and the tiny jade foot just pressed against his leg.
"You are awake," Eric turned his head. She smiled and held her slender ankles on her legs so she could stretch out.
Throwing away the pillow in her arms, she nodded, feeling that the ankle held by Eric was slightly itchy and her face was reddish, and she rubbed embarrassedly, and said in a tone of coquettishness: "Dream dreams have you This house was given to me, and then I woke up laughing. "
"Oh, just wake up, otherwise I will cry in your dreams."
Although very greedy. She also had no illusions that Eric could give this million-dollar mansion to herself if it really happened. She did not dare to accept it rashly, although she was not too clever. But know that everything in this world comes at a price. In the afternoon, I really dreamed of this kind of situation, and the last gloom created by the twilight made her speak out calmly.
Eric made her somewhat disappointed, kicked her feet, and said: "In this case, even if playboy does not want to send girls something, it should usually be perfunctory, you are really lazy."
Eric pretended to be helpless, and said: "Okay, let me brew a line."
Linda is staring at Eric with a bright stare under the background of TV fluorescence, a sloppy look that you ca n’t think of.
After a while, Eric slapped his head, and his face suddenly said: "Oh, I remember, this house is not mine."
"Hah, I ’m really not creative, I ’m going to return the Hollywood gold medal screenwriter!"
"You just listen to it," Eric laughed, and asked, "Hungry or not, let's go out to eat."
"Okay," Linda nodded. She is far more familiar with Manhattan than Eric. Just after making her own suggestion, she heard the ringing of the mobile phone in the living room outside.
"I'll pick up the phone and wait a moment," Eric said as he stood up and walked out.
She looked away as he left the living room. She was too lazy to get up and twist her body. She grabbed the armrest of the sofa and probed her brain outward, and saw the man pick up the phone and sit down on the sofa in the living room. I vaguely heard him talking about "The Lost World: Jurassic Park" with people, as if it was the premiere arrangement.
The other side chatted for nearly ten minutes. Eric hung up the phone. She just retracted her body and got up, and heard the phone in Eric ringing again.
"Hello ... Oh, Cindy, it's you," Eric agreed, feeling her probe probe the brain and waved towards this side.
She smiled, roughly guessing Cindy ’s intention to make a phone call, retracting her head to be too lazy to listen again, and suddenly remembered the tone of the work he was talking about with someone, serious, serious, and meticulous.
What about myself.
She has a good background, no stress in her life, and she is too lazy to study as an adult. With the good qualifications given by God, she started professional model.
Starting at sixteen.
Fourteen years.
Step by step to the present.
Life seems simple.
Work.
Play.
One day without 10,000 USD, I ca n’t get up.
Marry too early.
Unlucky.
Don't want to make a divorce anymore.
Ca n’t stand boyfriend and break up.
Do whatever you want.
Boundless.
Suddenly found out, hey, he was the Rocket man.
No wonder you like Elton? John.
I listened to the outside voice with his ears. He still chatted with Cindy calmly, seeming patient.
Maybe, although he also floats in space, he controls everything, just like the pilot of a space shuttle.
No, he did n’t control everything. At least, he did n’t know what her ambitious pseudo girlfriend thought.
She suddenly felt that she should be responsible for doing something. Her head turned buzzing for a while, jumping from the sofa and walking towards the living room.
"Oh, George? Gene restaurant, where is it roughly?" Eric saw Linda coming, did not mind, was talking to Cindy Crawford, and saw Linda coming to him, the queen character was completely dumped The strand of blond hair in front of his forehead bullied him, rode on the thigh of Eric, reached out and pushed him towards the back of the sofa.
Eric is listening to the address of a restaurant introduced by Cindy, and was suddenly pushed onto the backrest by Linda, so he had to ask Linda which one is out with his eyes.
On the other end of the phone, Cindy had finished addressing. Eric watched Linda carrying the zipper on the back of the dress with his hand, took off the shoulder strap to take off the skirt skillfully, and his head came over and gently nibbled on his neck.
"Cindy, me, Oh, I remember, me and Linda, um, 15 minutes later."
"No, dear Cindy, wait another hour for us," Linda shouted into the microphone unabashedly, reaching for the phone and hanging up.
Eric reached out helplessly to support Linda's soft waist and smiled: "Well, what is your mental state now, have you been bitten by any bug?"
"Of course not," Linda reached out and held Eric's face. He came wild and kissed him in a hoarse voice, saying: "I want to dry you."
Hmph, Cindy baby, see what you do tonight.
She thought a little bit proudly.
......
