Seattle.

In the large conference room of Headquarters of Amazon company, several senior executives were sitting around meeting table and talking in a low voice. The wall-mounted screen directly in front of the conference room displayed a series of background transaction data of irelyer players, ten o'clock away With only 5 minutes left, the most striking turnover value on the screen is still zero.

With a Vice Chairman who is rushing to San Francisco responsible for the logistics distribution of irelyer player by phone, Jeff · Bezos also hurriedly opened the door of the conference room and walked in, sat down in his place, looking forward with expectation The big screen on the wall. The other senior executives, who had been whispering, also quieted down, leaving only two administrative secretaries crouching to distribute a document.

Like the day when hunger marketing was implemented three months ago, today is still a very important day for Amazon.

From April to the present, with the hunger marketing strategy for irelyer players, Amazon has not only made a lot of eyeballs, but the website's popularity, registrations, and sales have all increased significantly. Prior to this, the company's turnover in the first quarter was only 87 million USD, which is already a very impressive performance for an e-commerce website less than three years old. But in the second quarter, relying on the popularity of the irelyer player's marketing strategy, the turnover of Amazon skyrocketed 77% to 100 million 54 million USD within three months. Among them, Amazon is responsible for underwriting the cumulative 1 50,000 irelyer player has contributed nearly 45 million USD operating income.

Jeff Bezos has always been a very conceited person, but this time, he also had to admire Eric's brilliance in the internet marketing method of irelyer player.

Amazon has begun IPO negotiations with Morgan Stanley a few months ago, and the official time to market has been initially determined as January next year.

In March, Firefly invested once again to inject 100 million USD into Amazon in exchange for the third 5% stake. At that time, the company ’s valuation was only 2billion USD.

But now, as the Nasdaq index continues to rise, and more importantly, the explosive growth of Amazon ’s business in the second quarter, half a year, Wall Street ’s valuation of Amazon doubled to 4billion USD.

Although the outbreak of the Southeast Asia economic crisis may have a certain impact on the Nasdaq index, Jeff Bezos is quite optimistic. Even if Amazon can maintain the current high growth rate, it is not impossible for the future company IPO's share price to double the current forecast, and the hungry marketing strategy for irelyer will undoubtedly greatly contribute to the company's development. If possible, Jeff Bezos very much hopes that the hungry marketing of irelyer players will continue until the end of the year, but he also understands the reason why many things are too far. Although hunger marketing can greatly increase the attention and topic of the website in a short period of time, if users cannot buy a product for a long time, the original expectations will gradually become disappointed or even disgusted, whether it is Firefly Electronics or Amazon Hope to see this happen.

Those thoughts were taken a little preoccupied. It was n’t until the administrative secretary gently tapped him on the shoulder that Jeff Bezos recovered. On the big screen, the time had come to 9:59.

Everyone in the meeting room completely put down everything in their hands and in their minds, and turned their attention to the big screen directly in front.

There is no special prompting sound, and there is no dramatic picture. As soon as 10 o'clock, the simple and striking number on the big screen starts to jump.

The last snap-up before opening the purchase, 5000 irelyer players sold out only 37 seconds.

But this time, although the pre-sale is open, the sales of irelyer players on the screen still broke the 5,000-unit level in just one minute. Until seven minutes later, the pre-sales reached 20,000 units, and the transaction speed Only slowed down, but this slowdown can only be relatively speaking, the number of sales on the screen is still increasing at a rate of more than 10 units per second.

After the first expansion of the production capacity of irelyer players, Amazon still got a third of the sales share this time, that is, 150,000 units.

According to the sales situation in the past few months, although it is still expected that irelyer will maintain a tight sales state for a long time in the future, Amazon previously predicted that the supply of 150,000 units should roughly be able to meet the orders of network users. After all, e-commerce has only just emerged after all, and most consumers still buy electronic products in favor of brick-and-mortar stores. In the three months before irelyer sold, although the brick-and-mortar store prices are generally 30USD higher than Amazon, they are not There is no impediment to the purchase enthusiasm of physical store users.

So, with the passage of time, at 10:52, when the volume on the big screen broke through 50,000, the original joy of Jeff · Bezos dissipated and calmed down. There is a problem somewhere. The sales volume of the past month was sold in less than an hour. On the surface, although it was a good thing, if the original supply of one month was swept away within a day or even a few hours, what would Amazon take next To supply customers.

In my mind, I was still thinking about what happened, but Jeff Bezos ’body was already jumping, waving his arms and shouting to everyone in the conference room:" Stop, hurry fucking. Stop and can't sell anymore. "

......

The sensation caused by the selection of babes is beyond imagination, Eric was not affected in the days of London. He will not participate in the early selection. These jobs are all in charge of Simon · Fuller. He will only participate in the final selection in the final stage.

Christina stayed at London for a week and returned to Los Angeles. Firefly Records Chairman Barry · Weiss hopes to take advantage of the popularity of "Casino Royale" to let Christina release another single to pre-heat her first record next year.

Although there is no substantive work plan in the near future, Eric has not completely ignored the window.

In addition to North America ’s summer file Box Office, Eric continues to pay attention to the affairs of the Firefly system, Metro Goldwyn Mayer ’s acquisition of equity in e! Entertainment and Rainbow Media, the 007 project team ’s negotiation with Brosnan, Chris ’s foreign exchange in Southeast Asia Operation, the next stage sales plan of irelyer player, etc., he also took the time to go to Cambridge City in the north of London and Nokia Headquarters in Finland to check the progress of the chip development of the arm and the operation of Nokia, although far away from North America, women Without being around, the days are still fulfilling.

Due to the time difference, North America is still daytime, but the night of London has already arrived.

Although it has been included in Hollywood for a long time, the 007 series is still regarded as an United Kingdom movie by most United Kingdom media. Therefore, it may be that Casino Royale's reputation in the North America and even the world's film market and Box Office's double explosions have aroused the pride of British. The United Kingdom Box Office drop in the next week of the film is even lower than North America, only 33%, and Box Office is still as high as 14.27 million British pound, according to the exchange rate of pound to USD1: 1.5, is equivalent to 21400,000 USD.

In two weeks, United Kingdom Box Office of Casino Royale has reached 35.57 million pounds (53.36 million USD). According to the current trend of Box Office, the final United Kingdom Box Office of the film will exceed 60 million pounds (90 million USD), although it cannot be finalized with last month. Compared with the lower-end "Titanic" of £ 79.93 million (1.1.9 billion USD), it is no suspense to win the second place in the Box Office list of United Kingdom movie history.

A private club in the Western District of London is going on a filmmaker party, which is organized by the famous orking-titleFilm Studio of United Kingdom.

On the London premiere of "Casino Royale" Yuxing party, Eric once had a relationship with orking-title a female producer named Alison Owen, who had seen Kate Blanchett After the performance in "Casino Royale", Alison Owen intends to invite her to appear in a film that the company is preparing. Since Kate signed an option contract with Firefly in advance, this matter must be approved by Firefly, Eric happens to be Then in London, after one or two visits, script was delivered to Eric.

Coincidentally, the movie was actually "Elizabeth", a biographical film about Queen Elizabeth I of United Kingdom.

The original "Elizabeth" once allowed Kate Blanchett to be the first Oscar Heroine nominated film. Moreover, "Elizabeth" and "Shakespeare in Love" were released in the same year, and were all popular Oscar of that year. However, in the face of "Shakespeare in Love" operated by Miramax, the results of "Elizabeth" can be imagined.

Since it can become a popular Oscar, "Elizabeth" will not be too bad. Kate · Blanchet also likes this role very much. Eric has no objection. The final result of the discussion is that the movie is jointly invested by orking-title and the new line. , The new line is responsible for the release of global movies except United Kingdom.

In several communication processes around "Elizabeth", Eric also became familiar with the person in charge of orking-title, so he had the party that was present today.

"Eric, I heard that you are currently selecting a band. Can you tell me in advance, are you planning to come up with something that will surprise everyone?"

In the hall full of silhouettes, Eric stood with a glass of red wine and chatted with the other three people. Chairman Eric Feiner of orking-title company asked, yes, another Eric, in fact, in terms of name In the West, where there is really no creativity, the probability of encountering people with the same name in public is actually the same as the possibility of encountering the same style car when driving out.

"Since it's a surprise, of course, I won't know until the last minute. However, I can reveal it in advance," with a smile on his face, Eric gradually lowered his voice and suspended the appetite of several people. "This is a girl group."

The other three froze for a moment, then laughed.

19 Entertainment Public Recruitment Information clearly states that young girls who are 18 to 18 years old are naturally impossible. Eric · Fener also shook his head and smiled, saying: "So, Eric, Firefly, is this going to develop the record business in Europe?"

Eric shook his head and said: "Now it's just some ideas. I still plan to try the water first. After all, Firefly is not good at this piece of music."

"Actually," Eric · Fener continued: "The record industry is similar to Hollywood Film Studio. Firefly wants to expand its business in this field, the method is actually very simple."

Eric listened to the other person's words and raised his eyebrows slightly. Just now, everyone was still discussing the issue of United Kingdom film development. Eric · Fener suddenly pulled the topic into the selection of hot girls. Eric already felt a bit strange. At this time, he obviously felt that Eric · Fener should be in Suggested something.

Thinking, a warm greeting sounded next to him: "Hi, Eric, good evening."

Eric turned around and saw Barbara Bullock in a black evening dress came over with a smile, and also smiled and nodded in response, carefully hugged her with the glass. The United Kingdom movie circle is so big. As the producer of the 007 series, it is not surprising that Barbara Brockley appeared here.

Hugging with Eric, Barbara Brockley nodded with several others and then asked, "So, what are you talking about?"

Eric Feiner replied with a smile: "Of course it is" Casino Royale ", Barbara, you are doing so beautiful this time."

"Hey, Eric is here, if you say that, I will let myself go."

"Haha."

Another burst of laughter.

A few casual chats. Barbara Brockley noticed that there was no female partner beside Eric and quipped: "Eric, did you expect you to come alone tonight, do you need me to dance with you?"

Eric reached out with his hand: "Of course, this is my honor."

Barbara Brockley was just kidding. When Eric reached out, he did not refuse. He handed the red wine to the waiter next to him, nodded and said goodbye to the others, and walked to the dance floor with Eric.

Feeling Eric cuddling his waist, Barbara Bullock also put his arm over, but he leaned into Eric ’s ear and said: "First of all, Eric, even if you ca n’t find a girl today, Nor can it provoke me. "

With the music, Eric took Barbara Brockley to dance lightly and said, "Barbara, you are really sad to say that."

"Oh, I just give you a vaccination in advance, you are not the type I like."

"Oh, it seems that I am too handsome, do you like the rude type?"

"No, you are too old, I like younger ones."

"Okay, my heart broke again, but if I remember correctly, you are better than me ..."

Barbara Brockley waited for Eric to finish and immediately interrupted: "Hey, Eric, do n’t be so impolite Oh."

"Oh, sorry," Eric quickly stopped the conversation and turned to: "Oh, Barbara, ask you something, are you familiar with Eric · Fener?"

"Okay, you know, United Kingdom is such a big circle."

"Then, do you know which Record Company he is related to?"

Barbara Brockley thought about it, shook his head, and then seemed to understand something, and laughed: "Eric · Fener has nothing to do with Record Company. I do n’t know. Orking-title is related to a Record Company. Oh, great Relationship. I think you should ask this. "(To be continued.)
