Chapter Thirty-Four: Catherine's Great Strategy

  June is approaching, the summer of 1961 was hot, and the sales of mini skirts increased again. This trend gradually spread, and the Angel Dress Company's stores also opened in Pennsylvania. In Los Angeles, through Hormann's negotiation, there were already agents. Their business can be said to be booming.

  But Catherine's goal was not here, but in a farther place, the fashion industry, and this was just the stepping stone for her career.

  Since you have the advantage of rebirth, why limit yourself to a certain industry?

  Hey, this is America's golden age, if you don't achieve something, how can you be worthy of yourself?

  Catherine's most targeted industry should be electronics. This is not a specific item, but a general industry as a whole.

  From integrated circuit TVs to game consoles and then computers.

  Catherine is probably the most familiar with the entire electronics industry. Whether it's hardware or software, Catherine has a great advantage over people in this world, so why not fully utilize this advantage?

  In the electronics industry, Catherine's target was electronic games and personal computers and operating systems that had not yet emerged. She even wanted to replace Bill Gates' Microsoft in the future...

  While desktop role-playing games are actually also preparatory projects for electronic games, they can also extend to other places. Suitable for early accumulation of funds, but long-term development profits are relatively small.

  And the second thing she cares about is probably the television and film industry, after all, she has learned some directing methods and techniques, and in this life, she has also read a lot of books, and even tried to shoot a movie. If there were no accidents, this industry would also be a good choice.

  As for the third item, it is roughly the current industry now.

  To be honest, Catherine actually regarded this third item as a preparatory industry for the first two items.

  For example, Catherine wrote a book, she can adapt it into a movie or make it into a game.

  And the next clothing industry, in fact, is also a supplementary industry. You can use it to release some peripheral things, which can only be said to be "extra income". Moreover, at Angel Clothing Design Company, Catherine only has partial shares, and in the true sense, this should belong to their small group's company. Of course, Hormone is an exception.

  As for another news, "The Blair Witch" will be released on June 30 this year, although only 72 cinemas are participating in the premiere. However, Catherine is not worried, as "historically", this low-cost horror film was originally scheduled to be shown in only 27 cinemas in its first week, but unexpectedly received a hot response after its release, and the number of cinemas expanded from 31 in the second week to 1100.

  But now Catherine's focus is no longer here.

  It is not the strategic center of its own, but it does not mean that this thing is not important.

  Harry Potter's TRPG, Catherine still needs to be further improved. If it can continue, this first desktop game of hers will at least occupy a large part of the blank market.

  After all, as long as there is a monopoly, there is no industry that doesn't make money, even digging mud can squeeze out two or three pieces of silver.

  Barbie dolls have taken over most of the market share in the United States, although the company has only been established for a little more than three years, Barbie dolls are now welcomed by children.

  Maybe I can still work with Barbie company?

  The company's name is Mattel. In 50 years, it will be one of the world's top 500 enterprises, and Barbie dolls are its main product.

  Catherine suddenly had such an idea.

  No...

  Catherine suddenly thought of a possibility.

  Can I acquire this company myself?

  Now is the perfect time for Mattel to rise, until 1964, the other side will show a gushing growth, now if we acquire it ourselves, wouldn't that be even better?

  "Never mind, let's look at it later."

  Although she was a reborn person who understood the big picture, Catherine's energy was always limited after all, she was just one person.

  Barbie represents a culture that cannot be fully incorporated into one's own through commercial means alone, and she also doesn't have enough funds.

  Sometimes Catherine also thought that if she could split herself into a dozen or so, it would be great...

  Rice should be eaten one mouthful at a time, Catherine didn't want to have indigestion, it's better to finish the things in front of her first. After all, processing models is the last step for game devices, and now she has more important things to do. Moreover, the more rigorous professional version of the rules hasn't even started designing yet.

  However, Catherine did get a DEMO version, which is a trial version.

  So-called group models are all temporary and only the initial version of the mass-produced version, and the underlying BUGs have not been found yet.

  This demo version will be sent to those who purchased the deluxe edition, and it also includes a feedback survey form to help Catherine improve her rules.

  June 1st.

  It's Catherine's birthday and also the release date of "The Prisoner of Azkaban".

  After the first signing, the second signing became easy and familiar.

  Compared with the last signing event, the atmosphere on site has become even more enthusiastic this time, and there are also many more people coming.

  Although the original Harry Potter is for children, Catherine is different, she considers all ages.

  Perhaps due to the advertising effect, in the first week of sales, the hardcover edition of "The Prisoner of Azkaban" sold more than twice as much as "Chamber of Secrets", and can be said to have been very well received.

  The sales of the simplified edition have also increased greatly, and it seems that the "Harry Potter" effect is gradually emerging. Of course, this is also related to the tireless promotion by the paperback publisher.

  Now, some people have already used the Harry Potter series to compare with The Lord of the Rings trilogy, which also highlights its own excellence.

  To know, this year's Tolkien is just like the 1960s European and American version of "I Eat Tomatoes"!

  By mid-June, sales were almost catching up with The Lord of the Rings.

  On the other hand, in society, rumors about Blair Witch have been circulating for more than half a year, and some small newspapers have even published them with great fanfare.

  With the release of Catherine's third "Harry Potter", Blair Witch is increasingly being mentioned.

  In the midst of Catherine, Blair Witch is a witch who was imprisoned in Azkaban several years ago. However, the timeline adopted by Catherine is 1970, and now Blair Witch is still "above the law".

  In June 1961, it was longer than in previous years...
