Chapter 1607

There were two more people in the restaurant, which made it more lively. Chen Qing didn't talk much later. Looking at the two goblins, one was bold and the other pretended to be shy and clumsy to interact with the man.

Over the years, Chen Qing has long understood that her boss seems to be good at talking to the Yingyan around her, but she really wants to go into a man's heart... Even Chen Qing herself is not sure until now. What's more, his "clothes are not as new" strategy is not vegetarian, so he doesn't worry about the sudden emergence of goblins competing for favor.

Sure enough, after breakfast, the two little girls who thought they were very popular with men could only watch the men leave by helicopter. Chen Qing followed them and rushed to Manhattan to start their day's schedule.

Today is April 29th.

Saturday.

Weekends are mainly aimed at the working class. To the extent of Simon and Chen Qing, it is difficult to make any difference between different dates, because the schedule at this level is actually quite free. If you suddenly don't want to work, just give yourself a few days off. The key is whether the resulting problems can be tolerated.

Simon arrived at danilis east coast headquarters on the upper west side of Manhattan and first focused on the information about ibox-10 in the past week.

The official sale took just one week, not only the continuous shortage of ibox-10 in the physical retail channel, but the official price of $299 was generally fried to more than $1000 in the cattle market. Less than half of the more than 3 million orders accumulated in the initial pre-sale were issued one after another, and the rest needed more than a week to be sent.

On the other hand, as a new electronic product integrating new software and hardware systems, the bug problems initially worried about have also appeared one after another.

In just one week, users across North America have actively reported more than 20 bugs. Fortunately, for the time being, they are basically software bugs that do not affect the operation of the host. They can be repaired quickly through networking patches. Even if some users are not qualified or unwilling to connect to the Internet, it will not bring too many obstacles to use.

Tingkobaier generously rewarded all users who reported bugs, but also encountered another more serious problem.

Crack!

For the major console manufacturers, whether in the past, at present or in the future, one of the most hated things is the hacking of game consoles by hackers. Because after cracking, users can use pirated game software smoothly, which is tantamount to cutting off the largest source of profit for host manufacturers.

At the beginning, the R & D team debated whether to equip Ibox with networking function. The biggest concern was also cracking.

However, in just three days, there are cracking software and special tutorials for ibox-10 on the Internet.

Dinkobair reacted quickly to this and joined forces with igrit to directly block the website that released the ibox-10 cracking scheme, while using Weijia intelligence network to pursue the human flesh of hackers who developed relevant software.

However, as we all know, there has never been an unbreakable system. This kind of anti blocking can not prevent countless users who want to play pirated games for free from their determination to pursue "freedom".

Of course, there are no countermeasures here.

Or networking.

Networking is a double-edged sword, which can not only make it more convenient for users to find and use cracking software directly from the network, but also facilitate tinkobair's official restriction on users' cracking behavior through the network.

As long as the information feedback of the user's host suspected of cracking is detected, of course, the host can't crash directly. Although it can be done, unless the user recovers the genuine version of the system, you can't reuse it, whether it's online consumption, online warfare or other functions that need to be connected.

Real stand-alone.

Tinkobair has considerable confidence in this, which is also a part of psychology.

Just like a person, if he is born dumb and can't speak, he won't speak. However, if he could have communicated with people and suddenly can't speak, it may be nothing in a short time, but it may be crazy in a long time.

From the very beginning, tinkerbier team paid great attention to the development of various interactive functions, which is also the key.

In any case, ibox-10 can be regarded as a phenomenal new electronic product in 2000.

In addition to the huge profits that the host itself is expected to bring to Tinkerbell and its partners, because of the hot sale of ibox-10, the share prices of Tinkerbell, igrit and danilis and other related enterprises have also soared again in the past trading week, which has benefited many related enterprises.

For example, besides the big three, it is worth talking about scooter.

Scooter has successfully completed the merger and acquisition of Qualcomm. Before the spring conference of tincobell, both the new scooter team after the merger and Simon, who led all this behind the scenes, tend to scooter, and then gradually turn to the field of communication technology.

Unexpectedly, the release of ibox-10 has brought a big variable to scupper.

Yes, DVD.

Because of the advance layout of DVD technology by traditional electronic giants such as Toshiba and Hitachi, it was originally thought that even if danilis had won a certain market share for scooter through content advantages, it could not be as dominant as VCD after all.

As a result, ibox-10 made scooter an indirect breakthrough in the DVD market.

The reason is very simple, because every ibox-10 can actually be used as a DVD. Even without the perfect function of a professional DVD player, it is more than enough for ordinary people to watch movies every day. The DVD solution of ibox-10, including the decoding chip, naturally does not flow out of the field, which is in the charge of scober.

Not to mention anything else, it's just a simple comparison. Previously, in 1999, scooter shipped only more than 2 million DVD video decoding chips throughout the year. This time, it monopolized the order of ibox-10, which means that it can ensure the shipment of 20 million sets of DVD accessories in the first year.

In addition, the industry expects the global DVD shipment to be about 30 million units in 2000, which is the result of the joint efforts of major manufacturers due to the pressure of Westeros system to promote VCD in Asia.

Among them, neither the Sony PS2 equipped with DVD function nor tincobell's ibox-10 are included. Now, the fact is that with the PS2, which is also a hot seller, the original number of 30 million units is directly doubled.

Compared with Sony, it is only to ensure the basic low configuration of the disk reading installation program and consider the relevant functions in advance. On the ibox-10 side, except that there are not as many functions as professional DVDs, this host is not bad in terms of image quality and sound color of playing DVDs.

In a word, the current result is that the ibox-10 is temporarily limited to the North American market. Compared with the estimated global share of about 40% in North America in 2000, that is, the shipment of 12 million professional DVDs, the ibox-10 'DVD' with built-in Scotch solution will directly win the first place in the market share.

Because ibox-10 will largely accelerate the iteration of DVD to traditional video recorders in North America, blockbuster, which also belongs to Westeros system, also began to adjust the DVD rental business.

Even if tincobier kept the purchase price of relevant accessories from scooter to the lowest, scooter didn't want to make too much money because of its transformation thinking. However, such a huge expected shipment directly led to the sharp rise in the expected profits of the company's related businesses.

The most direct feedback is the stock price.

Scopper's market value was only $55.3 billion at the close of trading on Friday before the spring press conference of tingkobair. By the close of trading on Friday, the stock price had risen by 37% in two weeks, and the market value had reached $76.1 billion. In less than half a month, the company had brought more than $20 billion in market value gain to shareholders.

Scopper is only one of the ibox-10 concept stocks that benefited in the same period. The collective rise of many popular stocks in the technology stock market pushed the NASDAQ index to further break from 6500 points in the middle of the month to the peak of 7000 points in March 1997.

As of yesterday's closing on Friday, the NASDAQ index was fixed at a high of 7109 points, surpassing the record of 7045 points set on March 34, 1997.

In the increasingly crazy trend of technology stocks, what everyone cares about now is how high can the NASDAQ index rise this time?

8000?

Or 9000?
