Chapter 230 Strong Bonnie

Since before 2007, the price of 3G network equipment remained high, and due to high tariffs and lack of willingness to use it, the number of users grew slowly, so there was no need for O2 Telecom to rush to lay out a 3G network.

The main funds of O2 Telecom will now be used to upgrade the broadband network and expand the scope of the 2G network, and occupy the market through the relatively cheap 2G network.

After 2006, on the eve of the launch of smartphones, it is the most appropriate time to start developing and laying out 3G networks, both in terms of the price of 3G network-related facilities and user acceptance.

You know, even the first-generation iPhone launched in 2007 only supported 2G networks. It was not until the iPhone 3G launched the following year that it began to support 3G networks.

Of course, fortunately, although a cooperation agreement has been signed with Huawei before, Huawei's network rollout in France at this time has only begun to promote 2G networks and broadband networks.

And in the communication with Huawei, the other party is also willing to cooperate with the adjustment - after all, although it will reduce the deployment of a large part of 3G mobile network equipment, at the same time, O2 Telecom will ensure that the total contract amount is not reduced, increase investment in broadband network, and Expand the scope of 2G network deployment.

You must know that at this time, Huawei's business in broadband equipment was stronger. The business they had previously pursued from BT was related to broadband network equipment. These changes can better reflect Huawei's advantages at this time.

But no matter what, this incident also made O2 Telecom have a good impression of Huawei. After all, no matter if you switch to any company in Europe or the United States, if you sign a contract, you will follow the contract and they will definitely not make any adjustments to you. Space, this can be regarded as a huge concession by Huawei to O2 Telecom.

For this reason, Barron also called Huawei's boss Ren to express his gratitude.

…

"Dear, Victoria told me something yesterday..."

The Victoria in Bonnie's mouth is naturally Beckham's wife. The two of them have become very close recently. In the second season of "The Werewolf of Miller's Hollow" recently produced by Summit Studio, Victoria was specially invited as a guest to participate. Recorded two programs.

Seeing Barron's interrogating look, Bonnie held his arm, making him fall into tenderness, and said:

"She wanted to build a fashion brand, which would include clothing, sunglasses, perfume, etc. She asked me if we wanted to do it together..."

Smelling Bonnie's faint fragrance, Barron kissed her forehead:

"What do you think?"

"I feel that in terms of fashion, I am not very sure about starting a personal brand, but Victoria seems to be very interested. You know, she has persuaded me, so I am still a little hesitant."

Although she was born in a girl group and her marriage to Beckham, Victoria's popularity has expanded to a global level.

But in North America and Europe, as one of the most well-known female hosts, Bonnie is as well-known as Victoria.

And because of her relationship with Barron, Bonnie's image among the upper class people is better than Victoria's.

This is probably why Victoria hopes to bring her along to create a fashion brand.

But when it comes to Victoria's personal brand, Barron can't help but frown slightly.

Because he knew that in her previous life, Victoria was not successful in business. Although her personal brand had always been quite popular, it was later revealed that it had always been at a loss.

She has always relied on Beckham to make up for the losses of her personal brand. At first, she only lost a few million pounds a year. With Beckham's income, she can easily make up for these losses, just as supporting her wife's career.

But later, the annual losses continued to increase, and even exceeded 15 million pounds at one time, which overwhelmed Xiaobei. She finally decided not to inject funds into her brand and left it to find investors on her own...

It can be said that in this aspect, Victoria is far behind Paris Hilton, who can manage the value of her personal brand so well. Even Ivanta, who is not very successful in this aspect, is far behind Victoria. Not as good as.

Therefore, when Bonnie mentioned Victoria's invitation to her to create a fashion brand together, Barron still felt that he had no idea.

As Bonnie said:

"I think it's better to focus on professional things. My current interest is still in program production..."

It seems that my girlfriend is still very calm and thoughtful in this regard.

But then, Bonnie came up with another idea, that is, she also has some savings now-including royalties from the "Downton Abbey" novels and bonuses from the programs she participated in the production of.

After buying the previous apartment on Oxford Street, she still has nearly 5 million pounds in funds.

Therefore, she also had the idea of ​​​​starting a business, but it was not the fashion brand as Victoria said, but she wanted to make a difference in program production and marketing promotion.

"Baby, you have to think about it carefully. If you continue like this, you will get options from SEM Group..."

Bonnie is currently the person in charge of Summit Studio of Summit Media, a subsidiary of SEM Group. SEM Group will definitely be listed later. Before that, management like Bonnie will also receive corresponding option rewards.

Of course, the prerequisite for receiving these option rewards must be the number of years of service in the group.

If she leaves SEM Group now and starts a business, as one of the founding veterans of Summit Media, Bonnie will definitely not be able to get her original option rewards.

Then the price for her to start a business is a bit high. After all, the development of SEM Group is now on the right track.

"I still want to give it a try while I'm young..."

There was something she didn't say to Barron, but Barron could think of it to some extent.

That is, after Bonnie and Barron's relationship became public, and Bonnie was in charge of Summit Studio, many people would think that her career was completely dependent on Barron.

Well, although to a certain extent, this is true, but Bonnie is a relatively strong woman - otherwise she would not have given up her career at Sky TV and started a business with Barron.

Especially after the quarrel between Bonnie and Barron because of her cousin Chris, she realized that she had become dependent on the other party without knowing it.

In the relationship between two people, if one party relies more on the other, then even if they have deep feelings for each other, they will gradually become weaker.

Therefore, Bonnie's decision to start a business again this time was not impulsive, but a choice made after many considerations.

"Do you have any good ideas now? Honey."

Now that Bonnie has made such a choice, Barron will definitely support her. On the other hand, this can also bind each other's interests.

"When I attended a cocktail party before, I heard the head of an independent production company say that they currently have a very good idea, but the company lacks funds and corresponding contacts..."

Under Bonnie's introduction, Barron knew the whole story.

It turned out that there was a production company that was planning a variety show, but in the end they found that to achieve the results they wanted, the scale of investment required was far beyond what they could afford.

And they need to invite some heavyweight guests, which is beyond their ability.

However, they really didn't want to give up this idea, so they began to seek cooperation with other more powerful companies.

As the person in charge of Summit Studio, Bonnie also came into their sight.

After all, since last year, "The Traitors" and "Love Island" have been two phenomenal variety shows, plus "The Werewolf of Miller's Hollow" has also had good ratings.

These achievements have also established Pinnacle Studio’s position in the industry.

In addition, it is backed by SEM Group and has the Freeview platform, making it their preferred partner.

In addition, according to the other party, they have also contacted major television stations including the BBC and ITV, but there has been no response from these two companies yet.
