The same person has completely different psychological defenses when facing different objects.
Just like the six goblins in the manor at this time, if it is anyone else, even if he is as handsome as Simon, he is just an ordinary working class person. If he wants to hold hands with the goblins, he may have to spend ten and a half days pursuing it. moon.
Simon's aura of wealth and power allowed him to complete all the procedures in one day.
Or multi-line operation.
Similarly, if the opposite side of the round table is not Simon, but a young guy who has just joined the Wall Street job, and tells Soros that your peak period is over, you will only be scorned.
Simon's words could make this financial tycoon at his most prosperous moment lose his appetite for breakfast.
After another long silence, Soros finally said: "Simon, I need to think about it carefully."
"Of course," Simon nodded. He didn't think that his few words could completely turn Soros around, but he still continued: "George, people like us are people who have climbed up from the bottom and want to complete primitive accumulation. , there are always several radical adventures in life. However, when a person reaches a high enough height, the more risks he takes, the more serious the consequences of falling will be, you know."
Soros quickly adjusted his mind that was disturbed by the young man opposite, and said: "Simon, the problem is, this sense of adventure is what I like."
"Understand, just like explorers who like to constantly challenge their limits. However, I believe they will not insist on jumping when there is clearly a cliff ahead. Risk-taking and suicide are two different things."
Soros retorted: "Simon, I think the situation in Russia and Asia is still in the risky category, far from suicide."
"On the Russian side, George, I'm just suggesting. After all, the investment there has nothing to do with me. If you insist on your opinion, the losses will belong to others. However, on the Asian side, if I think you have a tendency to jump off the cliff next, I You will redeem your own funds. Of course, this is a secret redemption, and you can still continue your attempts."
Still the same truth, Quantum Fund is just a general term for Soros's tens of billions of dollars in capital, which includes a large number of sub-funds targeting different fields. In this regard, Quantum Fund will determine in advance with investors when raising funds, a certain fund It is used for equity investment, a certain fund is used to purchase bonds, a certain fund is used for high-risk capital hedging, and so on.
The US$3 billion in funds given to Soros by the Westeros system is targeted for this financial operation in Asia.
If Soros's stubbornness leads to huge losses in Russia, the losses cannot be attributed to Simon.
In Asia, the US$3 billion invested by the Westeros System in the Quantum Fund has a lock-in period of only one year and will expire at the end of the year. At that time, Simon can freely choose to redeem it.
This is also the fundamental reason why Soros can only be considered a migrant worker.
If investors are dissatisfied with you and redeem their funds, it means losing your job.
Of course, the Quantum Fund is not just an investor in the Westeros system. However, if Simon chooses to redeem and the news comes out, it is not impossible to have a collapsing domino effect with the influence of the Westeros system.
Therefore, even if Simon said that he would secretly redeem himself, there is no airtight wall in the world.
An annoying breakfast.
After that, as soon as he left Simon's seaside estate in Glen Cove, Soros called an assistant: "Peter, it's me. Please sort out all the information about Russia's investment projects immediately. I want to read it in the morning." , and also inform the team on the Russian side to temporarily stop all transactions and wait for my reply. In addition, I will also inform everyone on the Asian side to hold a conference call when I return to Manhattan."
After finishing his instructions neatly, Soros hung up the phone, leaned back on the car seat, closed his eyes and meditated.
Because his cash holdings increased rapidly during this period, Soros had been pouring money into Russia until this breakfast, buying all kinds of stocks, bonds, and industrial assets.
If the young man's judgment is correct and he buys one more point now, he will lose one point next.
Moreover, Soros has already trusted Simon's judgment to 80%.
Soros is not a person who likes to regret. However, as Simon said, if there is really a cliff ahead, he will not jump. Now, maybe it’s time to think about how to make up for it as much as possible.
Simon didn't give him much advice in this regard.
Soros believed that the other party must have corresponding countermeasures. However, after all, the two parties were just cooperating and the relationship was not close. Simon had no reason to give him too much advice.
Just like what the young man said during breakfast, half jokingly and half seriously, one of his suggestions is worth at least 2 billion US dollars.
Very expensive.
But it is true.
Next, once the results prove that the other party's judgment is correct, whether it is Asia or Eastern Europe, regardless of whether Soros himself tries to redeem himself, Simon will be equal to repaying his favor for giving up attacking Hong Kong.
However, thinking of the high value of Simon's suggestion, Soros suddenly remembered what the young man said at a party last year, to the effect that many of his plans were obvious and he could follow suit.
It’s all in the open!
If the various industrial layouts of Simon Westeros are thoroughly studied, it may really be worth several billion US dollars.
With the current size of Quantum Fund, it is unrealistic to continue to use it entirely for capital hedging. Soros has already begun to get involved in other investments, such as various investments in Russia, and in the future, more capital shares will be transferred to these traditional investment areas.
So, what is Simon Westero's apparent plan
After thinking for a moment, Soros quickly sorted out his first preferred keyword: China.
Perhaps it is not a bad thing to give up the attack on Hong Kong this time. After all, once it attacks Hong Kong, there will definitely be many obstacles for Quantum Fund to invest in China with that young man in the future.
However, these are all things for later, and now we still have to face the problem at hand.
Back in Manhattan, the heads of the Quantum Fund headquarters and the Asia team were already online. Without any nonsense, Soros roughly relayed Simon's judgment on the situation in Asia, and then started the meeting. The content of the discussion is whether the 'donkeys' will continue to follow the rules and continue to step into the trap. If not, what new countermeasures should be taken.
On the other side, after sending Soros away, Simon also set off soon.
Because they had to rush to the airport, Jian Xin, Tao Yuelei and Zhu Momo simply took a car together. Simon had to fly back to Los Angeles, and the three girls' destination was London.
Three black Mercedes-Benzes left Linhai Manor, and Zhu Momo once again grabbed the seat next to Simon.
When the car started, the girl clung to Simon's side affectionately, blah blah blah. The topic unknowingly turned to the three Qin Buzui who were still in the manor: "Simon, don't you like them very much?"
Simon put one arm around the delicate body beside him, while reading a script he got before getting in the car, and said casually: "Actually, I don't like you guys very much either."
When Zhu Momo heard Simon's ruthless words, she pretended to be dissatisfied and squealed, biting the man's ear.
Of course not using force.
After being naughty, Zhu Momo sat back down and looked at the script on the man's lap. She had just seen the title, "My Best Friend's Wedding", which was obviously a romance film. However, Zhu Momo usually gets a headache when reading Chinese books. There are so many English words on the paper in front of her that she gives up after only one minute.
Seeing the man's serious look, Zhu Momo hesitated for a moment, but still didn't bother him anymore. She simply rested her head on Simon's shoulder and narrowed her eyes.
I was still very tired last night.
Actually, Zhu Momo wanted to ask whether men liked the three of them more than Qin Buzui.
The girl has already made some guesses about this.
As for the answer, yes and no.
Simon does treat the women around him differently.
The reason was not formed in one day, it was probably a combination of many life experiences.
For example, Robert Egger once talked about a mouse utopia experiment. It was a party where everyone gathered to chat and discuss that once controllable nuclear fusion is realized, human society will enter a period of great material abundance. There will be no rich or poor, no class, and the result will be how
The Mouse Utopia verified the answer to this question to a certain extent. All mice lived freely and reproduced without restrictions with ample food and clothing. As a result, the Utopia ended in a tragic collapse.
This is the detailed information Simon found afterwards.
Combined with his own life experience, Simon came to the conclusion that class is necessary.
The proof is in nature.
From lions to ants, all social creatures that have existed on this planet for millions of years are basically divided into classes.
Many people may not want to admit it, but the same is true for humans.
With a little attention, it is not difficult to find that the pyramid-shaped hierarchical structure below itself is actually similar to a triangular structure. As we all know, triangles are the most stable geometric structure.
Although the many women around Simon were not too deliberate, as Zhu Momo felt, they did have obvious closeness and distance.
Just like the two Jennys in the Dume Point Manor, they are naturally the top of the pyramid.
Janet would often grab the vases around Simon and train them, and even occasionally she would lose a few. Simon would never express dissatisfaction, because Simon recognized Janet's top position among the women around him, and believed that this would be beneficial to Wes. It is beneficial to the Tello family.
Not only that, although life in Dume Point Manor is relatively dull, compared to other women around him, Simon still lives in Dume Point Manor for more than half of his time. In addition to deeply rooted traditional family values, on the other hand, it is also out of maintenance Because of the status of the two Jennys.
After the two Jennys, there are women with children of their own.
And there are distinctions as well.
Next, there are many other Yingying Yanyan, basically based on Simon's preferences and even mood.
Simon read "Han Feizi" yesterday, and his favorite was "The Death March". He read it many times and reflected a lot. One of the passages made it clearer that he had just casual thoughts in the past: the second wife is cheap but the maids and concubines are noble, the prince is humble and the concubine is noble. Respected, the prime minister's room is light but the ceremony is heavy. If this is the case, those who are good inside and outside, and those who are good inside and outside, will perish.
The word "good" here does not mean "well-behaved", but "inversion" and "deviation".
An article written more than 2,000 years ago, "The Death War", only contains more than 1,500 words. It provides warnings for self-cultivation, family management, country governance, and world peace. Even now, more than 2,000 years later, it can still teach people in all aspects of work and life. So much inspiration.
Inside the seaside estate in Glen Cove.
After Simon left with Zhu Momo and others, the manor suddenly became deserted.
The three girls, Qin Buzui, Jiang Mi and Shen Gui, had no time to spare. As usual, the housekeeper personally explained various matters in the future. Then, they picked a house, a car, a maid, and a lot of other things.
until noon.
Among the three girls, 23-year-old Jiang Mi is considered to be the more proud and cold-tempered one. 19-year-old Shen Gui is a bit drifting with the crowd. On the contrary, Qin Buzui, who just turned 18, is the most open-minded and is not afraid of embarrassment at all. If you understand, you will ask, and if you want something, you will fight for it unabashedly.
Throughout the morning, Jiang Mi and Shen Gui didn't talk much, and Qin Bului did most of the talking.
In an office in the villa, after roughly discussing all the details, they finally signed a lifelong confidentiality agreement and handed the contract to the housekeeper Angora Davis opposite. Qin Buzui immediately asked again: "Ms. Davis , in addition to the villa on the Upper East Side, can we come and live here often?”
The housekeeper maintained her usual patience and professionalism, and did not show any impatience with Qin Bului's various trivial questions throughout the morning. Wen Yan said in Chinese that she had become quite fluent in after quietly studying for several years: "This requires the boss's consent, but , as usual, you don’t need to leave in a hurry, you can stay here for a few days.”
After listening, Qin Buzui confirmed: "You mean, it's okay for us to stay for a few days, but as long as we leave and want to come back, we need Simon's permission."
Angre nodded: "Yes."
So Qin Buzui immediately said, "But we don't have Simon's contact information. Ms. Angre, can you give us one?"
The housekeeper shook her head: "Sorry, Miss Qin, if you have anything to do, you can only contact me. If it is a very important matter, I will convey it to the boss on your behalf."
Qin Buzui let out a disappointed sigh, and was about to continue talking when a maid at the door reminded her in English. The housekeeper agreed, then switched to Chinese and said to the three girls: "The attendant you selected has arrived. See you first." Let them."
As he said this, three girls wearing standard black OL suits had already entered the door.
Of the three attendants, on average there is only one girl for each girl, instead of the previous two. This is the result after Simon read "Han Feizi" yesterday.
Because they need to be treated differently.
Not only has the number of attendants been halved, but the monthly payment for three girls has also been reduced from the usual US$20,000 to US$10,000.
Twenty thousand or ten thousand is about the same as two cents to one cent to Simon now, so it just depends on the mood. The housekeeper received a note written by her boss explaining the matter before he left. Not only did she follow it without any questioning, but she also figured out her boss's thoughts and naturally made adjustments to other details of the treatment.
Of course the three girls don't know this. A monthly payment of US$10,000 is a huge sum of money to them, and they have no dissatisfaction.
Seeing the three attendants entering the door, everyone stood up and introduced each other.
There are three girls, two with Western faces and one with Asian faces.
Michelle Silvers, 23 years old, 172 centimeters tall, a track and field athlete, Wei family female guard.
Catherine Seiter, 22 years old, 171 cm tall, graduated from Cornell University, is a waitress in the Wei family.
Shen Lin, 30 years old, 167 centimeters tall, her English name is Linda, is from China, has a PhD in political economics from the University of Oklahoma, and is a waitress in the Wei family.
This is the configuration that the three girls selected together at the suggestion of the housekeeper.
Mainly Shen Neighbor.
The three girls have only been in the United States for a few months, and their English skills are limited to simple daily communication. Therefore, it is best to have a daily translator who can use Chinese and English proficiently, just like Zhao Anni who was by Zhu Momo's side.
Then again, there were many choices in the list given by the housekeeper. Among the three girls, she surprisingly chose the oldest Shen Lin.
You know, 30 years old is already the upper age limit for recruitment of Wei family maids. This older Chinese girl who stepped on the last threshold to join the Wei family maids will soon be... She lost her status as a maid in the Wei family and got an ordinary job under the arrangements of the Westeros system.
However, the housekeeper had read everything in the world and figured it out quickly.
It was precisely because Shen Lin was the oldest that he was chosen by the three girls, mainly due to the suggestion of Lin Buzui, who looked very smart.
As for the reason, the Wei family's maids, Wei, are basically very beautiful regardless of their nationality or skin color.
For women, beauty certainly means threat. Miss Qin probably felt that compared to the other waitresses of the same age, the older Shen Lin was the least threat to the three young girls, and she probably persuaded the other two girls for this reason.
Under normal circumstances, this idea is certainly correct, but unfortunately, my boss's preference seems to be abnormal.
Of course the housekeeper didn't say much, she just felt a little funny.
And very curious and expectant.
You know, according to the housekeeper's long-term observation, her boss not only likes more mature women, but also prefers smart women. Now, three young girls who don't seem very smart have chosen a beautiful 30-year-old female doctor to be by their side.
According to a Chinese idiom, in the future, I wonder if the choices of these three girls will be, um, self-defeating
