Chapter 397 (1/2)

After dinner, I chatted with Janet's parents about recent events. At more than nine o'clock, Simon and his wife didn't go back to their villa nearby and stayed in the mansion.

In the bedroom upstairs, Simon came out of the bathroom after taking a bath and saw Janet, who had already put on her pajamas, standing by the bed with a pillow in her arms, staring at him and saying, ”I'll sleep with my aunt tonight.”

Simon stopped a little, and quickly continued to wipe his wet hair with a towel. He nodded with a smile and said, ”well, I've been squeezed by you for such a long time, and I just had a night off.”

Janet didn't move, still looking at Simon.

As if nothing had happened, Simon pulled the towel slightly forward from his head and kept wiping it in front of his eyes.

Janet wrinkled her nose. Seeing that the man came to her and put his arms around her body, she subconsciously catered to her. Because of the pillow in the middle, she leaned forward and was kissing by him.

”Good night.”

”Well, good night.”

So promised, the bottom of my heart is more distressed.

Little bastard.

Really let me accompany my aunt.

Even if you cheat me.

Or, just make a fuss and put people on the bed, and I'll take it as if I don't know anything.

After Simon said good night, he released Janet and hung up the towel. Seeing that she hadn't moved, he didn't say anything any more. He just reached for the pillow in the woman's arms and threw it on the big bed. He took Janet's waist and continued to throw the woman on the big bed, and then he jumped on it.

However, after more than an hour, Janet still got out of the man's arms and quietly left their bedroom.

The next day was February 3, Sunday.

Since leaving Los Angeles on January 20, the couple have been off for two weeks.

In the cabin of the Boeing 767, after the plane took off, Simon had been sitting in the study in the front cabin looking at the documents accumulated during this period. Janet was sitting opposite, chin propped, looking at her husband. All kinds of small emotions floated in her bright eyes.

Simon actually knew about Janet's sneaking away last night.

I just don't know what Veronica and Janet said.

Now women don't talk, and Simon doesn't initiate a topic.

I really don't know how to deal with it.

Across the desk, Janet looked at her man for a long time, and finally sighed softly. She didn't understand what had happened.

My aunt was bullied, but she even turned to him.

Just like myself.

Is it just because of last time?

Janet felt her wrist.

Little bastard.

You are a devil.

He made up his mind to come to Melbourne as little as possible, at least not by himself.

With a sigh of relief, Janet picked up a folder on her desk and looked down.

This is the AOL free trial user incremental statistics report in January.

Janet also knows about AOL's free trial program. However, looking at the 2.3 million user bookings in the folder and the actual number of official installations, which is only 810000, Janet can't help but be surprised. She looks up at Simon's folder and asks, ”how can it be so different?”

Simon glanced up at the document, which he had just read, and said: ”it's mainly about human resources. For this trial, AOL has prepared 5000 formal and temporary installation personnel on the East and west coasts in the early stage. According to the initial expectation, AOL can roughly complete the installation of 1 million users per month. However, in fact, things are more difficult than imagined, and there are many problems. You can take a look at the more specific figures. Of the 810000 installation users, 390000 are from Bell Atlantic's operation area. It is mainly because Bell Atlantic actively cooperates with us to solve the problems of line equipment and so on, and has seconded some employees for this purpose. ”

Simon said with emotion.

The move to buy Bell Atlantic in advance has now proved to be completely correct.

AOL just signed a 10-year exclusive agreement with three major regional operators last year, so Bell Atlantic could not set foot in the Internet access service.

A few months later, seeing the sudden outbreak of Internet access users, the number of booking users in a month actually exceeded 2.3 million, and the three major operators obviously began to regret signing the original agreement.

You know, the major telecom operators have actually set foot in the free trial of this activity, but no one has ever experienced such a crazy amount of user appointments. Only one month's number of appointments, if all of them are transferred to official users, will be equivalent to one tenth of the total number of users of the three major operators.

The users of the three major operators have been realized through decades of accumulation.

In the past month, the three major operators even found that in order to get free trial opportunities, some users deliberately transferred from other small telecom operators in the region to their own, which is even more surprising.The U.S. telecommunications industry has a very open competitive environment, a city may have several telecom operators.

Of course, the main thing is to rent the line network of at-t, and then carry out its own telephone business. Bell Atlantic, bell Pacific and Nynex, the regional telecom operators, have always wanted to squeeze these small operators out of the market, just because the other side often has lower charging costs than itself, which is usually difficult to achieve.

Now, it's AOL, which is also attached to them, that unexpectedly promotes this.

The top management of the three major operators probably understand that the expansion of AOL as far as possible will also be conducive to the increase of their own users.

However, the truth is that it is not so easy to really promote it.

No one wants outsiders to build a villa in their own yard that is more beautiful than their own house. Even if they can't stop it, even if they pay for it, even if such a villa in their own yard may attract many tourists to pay for it, it is probably difficult for the householder to persuade himself to cooperate without any obstinacy.

Of course, after the takeover of Bell Atlantic was officially completed in January, the company has become a member of the westero system, but Raymond Smith and other management can do it.
