When Cindy said this, Simon remembered the Melania sisters who had not seen each other for a long time. Anyway, they were just free-range.
Back then, with Simon's support, the sisters created a mini jewelry brand to enter the fashion industry. Now that they can expand their business to supermodels like Cindy Crawford, they should be considered successful.
Of course, it was not to the point where Simon would pay too much attention.
Speaking of this, the Westeros family's 'vase fund' for the maid team has been ongoing, and good projects have emerged in recent years. To put it bluntly, rich people are the easiest group to get richer. If you are rich and have access to a large number of contacts, resources and information, it is easier to become richer.
Not only does the team of Wei family attendants often choose the best from the best, they are in the Westeros system, close to the water, and their vision is not comparable to that of ordinary people. In addition, with the support of the Vase Fund, it is much easier than ordinary people to accomplish something. Too much.
The after-party lasted for more than an hour and then began to wind down.
Mainly because Simon left early and took away all the big goblins present.
Now that we are in a gambling city, we definitely can’t not go to the casino.
The destination is the Taj Mahal Casino.
Simon is not interested in this casino that is filled with the evil taste of a certain guy's rich man. However, this is the largest of the three casinos controlled by the Westeros system. To support him, he must choose this place for the best effect. As for spending money to change it Simon had never thought about the casino style. It was not very profitable in the first place, and there was no need to waste it. He wouldn't live here anyway.
Except for a few of the top 64 in the Elite Model Contest who stayed with Simon, the others each received US$10,000 in chips and could move around freely.
There is never a shortage of beautiful women in the casino.
However, this group of goblins who can overwhelm everyone just by their height are definitely more attractive than ordinary beauties. If the news spreads, and the media hypes them up, it can greatly increase the popularity of Taj Mahal Casino.
Simon took a few big goblins to a VIP box.
It's not that Simon doesn't want everyone to have fun, reality really doesn't allow it.
According to the assessment of the Wei family security team, Simon's probability of being assassinated is higher than that of heads of state. The reason is that the Westeros system is too huge and involves too many interests.
Just say a little bit.
If something happens to Simon, just hundreds of billions of inheritance taxes will be enough to make not only the federal government but also the countries where Simon's other assets are located make a huge fortune.
In the past few years, there were even arguments that encouraged the assassination of Simon. This is also a public opinion that the Westeros family public relations team focuses on suppressing. Especially on the current open Internet platform, as long as there are arguments similar to flaming, no matter who you are. Platform, the account will be permanently blocked without negotiation.
The purpose is to prevent anyone from being incited to do the same thing.
Even so, various attacks against Simon have never stopped, just to avoid following the trend, this kind of thing is never made public.
Also at the end of this seemingly ordinary and lively night, the security chief around Simon came over to inform his boss, hoping that he would make temporary changes.
Atlantic City is no longer safe here.
Poison.
The target had already been intercepted when he appeared in the kitchen of the Sheraton Hotel. In fact, the Weijia intelligence team obtained the relevant information earlier, but did not close the network until the other party started to take action. The team also broke into several residences of the suspect almost at the same time. The two supervisors responsible for liaison are currently handling the follow-up.
Therefore, the attack posed essentially no threat to Simon.
The advice from the security chief is also to ensure nothing goes wrong.
Because it is basically certain that this is another lone wolf attack.
Of course, it was definitely not a separate lone wolf attack, because it was impossible for an ordinary lone wolf to have enough information to lock Simon's location.
Therefore, it is the standard kind of lone wolf who threatens Simon and is taken advantage of by some people. This is not the first time that this kind of thing has happened. It often goes up to a few levels and the problem is resolved. After all, Simon has been Anyone who knows how to use thunderbolts knows that this kind of thing, which can easily cause the whole family to disappear, cannot be guaranteed to be foolproof, and it will not be done easily.
Regarding his own safety, Simon followed the advice of the professional team around him. Even if he could confirm that there was no danger, he left the Taj Mahal Casino and did not go to his beachside mansion in Atlantic City as originally planned. Board a temporarily transferred yacht and float slowly to East Hampton on Long Island in the early morning starlight.
Of course the big goblins following Simon didn't know what was going on, and of course they were extremely happy about the sudden late-night yacht party.
So we had fun until daybreak, when everyone went ashore and entered Simon's estate in East Hampton to catch up on some sleep.
Simon, who had also not slept all night, had an extra breakfast and watched the preliminary report made by the security team overnight. Simon was never soft on this kind of thing. As many families as many people were identified, they died in various ways. evaporation.
And the investigation will continue even after evaporation.
Follow up for at least three years.
This is not the kind of lengthy investigation in the West that seems rigorous but is actually meant to distract public attention and delay compensation, but is a truly rigorous and extreme watch.
Maintaining such a large private intelligence team is what it does.
After dealing with this matter, Simon went to catch up on his sleep.
When I got up at noon, Janet's phone call came immediately.
There was no worry on his lips, he just talked about some trivial matters, and finally emphasized bitterly that he would teach more people this time.
During lunch, Grace, who was still in Atlantic City to arrange follow-up activities for the Elite Model Contest, also called. The woman was keenly aware of what seemed to be happening. Simon did not hide it, but tried to downplay it. You could feel that Grace Still obviously worried, he said he would come over in the evening.
Still not satisfied, he temporarily asked Bryce, who was in New York, to come and see Simon first, as if something had happened to him.
Simon did not refuse.
Today is Sunday, July 19th.
There was no other work scheduled in the afternoon, he made a few phone calls, and after lunch, Simon was free to move around in this mansion in East Hampton.
The goblins last night were very playful and able to sleep well. They didn't get up one after another until the afternoon. There were not many people this time. Cindy Crawford and Stephanie Seymour, as well as two Korean girls Quan You Jin and Shin Chae Hye.
Grace wanted to stuff in some things that fit Simon's aesthetics and have a party, but Simon didn't agree.
I also know that after last night's finals, there will definitely be various activities arranged. I have pulled everyone away, what else is going on.
Cindy and Stephanie were a little reluctant to have top supermodels like themselves accompany a certain man with two oriental rookies. Unfortunately, Simon's objections were ineffective. Fortunately, it was probably because the two of them didn't even speak English. The Oriental rookie was so agile that the two women were not too resistant after all.
On the other hand, Quan Youzhen and Shen Caihui were slightly shocked in their outlook last night.
It's not because there are many people, they have experienced it when there are more people. The main reason is that there are two top supermodels in the world with them. Moreover, after all, in the fashion circle, the two women probably know that these two seem to be get married
Therefore, when I got up in the afternoon and found two senior supermodels still looking calm and playing with men in the outdoor swimming pool, I was shocked again.
In South Korea, it is almost a matter of fact that men are superior to women.
It is normal for men to socialize and have fun in South Korea, otherwise a certain industry in South Korea would not be able to reach 5% of South Korea's GDP, but cheating on a woman is definitely a very serious matter.
Now this.
Um.
The two girls also easily found an excuse, probably, apparently, because the certain man was Simon Westeros.
Then there was a beautiful woman with an arrogant temperament who looked at them as if she wanted to show that I was a racist, but it also made the two Korean girls who are usually very proud in their own life circles inevitably feel inferior. Looking at the two supermodels, they feel even more natural.
Grace called Bryce over, probably to soothe her little man's possibly hurt heart, even though he wasn't hurt at all. Obviously, a certain woman didn't have this consciousness at all, and she was just here to stir up trouble. She didn't become honest until she was directly held down by the swimming pool by Simon.
Cindy and Stephanie left in the evening. The two were nominally in Atlantic City, so Simon sent them there by helicopter, picking up Grace along the way, as well as someone who would be taken with a woman wherever possible. little guy.
It’s a new week in a blink of an eye.
July 20th.
on Monday.
After breakfast, except for a certain housewife who only enjoys life, Simon and Grace were busy.
Simon's office today is at Daenerys Entertainment's East Coast headquarters on 66th Street on the Upper West Side.
In the morning, there were mainly a bunch of documents that needed Simon's review. Two of them attracted Simon's attention, both from China.
The first one is about the operating status of the two games. It was launched on the 19th of last month and is on July 20th today. It has been exactly one month as of yesterday. It can be regarded as a monthly summary. The number of registered users of "Counter-Strike OL" and "StarCraft" entering China have both quietly exceeded the one million mark, one reaching 1.93 million, and the other slightly less, also having 1.49 million.
The proportion of paying users is also higher than originally expected. "Counter-Strike OL" currently reaches 23%, which is higher than the 19% three days after it was launched. The proportion of paying users of "StarCraft" also reached 17%. This set of data alone illustrates the huge commercial potential of China's online gaming industry.
In fact, going forward, the proliferation of game arcades across China all cost money, which actually shows that Chinese game users are not low in willingness to pay. The key is that you have to come up with good stuff.
After reading the report, Simon only commented one sentence at the end, low-key, low-key.
In fact, there is no need for Simon to remind us too much. China has been implementing this principle from the beginning.
Each game operation team is not stupid. If the relevant data is exposed, it will definitely make people jealous, and then there will be a series of bad things. After all, even though they have shown some potential, the revenue volume and the tax revenue expected to be provided by the two games are far from reaching a level that makes local finances unable to stop. On the contrary, the crackdown on electronic games is still continuing. .
Therefore, no matter whether it is TV, print media or online portals, there must be no news headlines such as ""Counter-Strike OL" has been launched very popular and registered users reached 1.93 million in the first month" in China.
After all, there are 1.93 million players. For some people, the first reaction is basically, how many children will this harm
If some good-hearted person jumps out and makes a fuss, it’s hard to say what the outcome will be.
On the other hand, domestic business struggles, at the end of the day, are basically conflicts between peers.
The two most popular game companies now have the same origin, so they will not have this kind of problem. Even in the future, Simon will try his best to suppress similar problems, so he can try to avoid infighting. Apart from the two families, there are no other 'comrades' for the time being, so there is no mention of strife. As long as you don't commit suicide, you will definitely live to the day when your status is stable.
It's not that far actually.
The second report came from Chen Qing, talking about the ongoing flood problem in China, mainly involving donations.
Simon thought about it for a while, and the answer he gave was to let Nokia stand out a little this time, donate more, and build a reputation. For the rest, just follow the trend, don't be too outrageous, and don't be too stingy.
As for Chen Qing's shrewd talk about whether we should set up a charity fund to operate independently, Simon directly rejected it.
Thankless effort.
It's enough to donate the money and get the reputation you deserve.
In addition to the two reports, another important thing today is that Nancy Brill officially reached an acquisition agreement with the Blockbuster Video Chain. After several months of operation, the final acquisition price was 14.5 billion. US dollars, did not exceed the original forecast limit of 15 billion US dollars, which is something Simon is very satisfied with Nancy.
Of course, Daenerys Entertainment will also have to bear an additional debt of more than 2 billion US dollars in Blockbuster's debt, which is a necessary cost. After the merger, combined with Daenerys Entertainment's original debt, the debt ratio of the entire Daenerys Entertainment Group is still less than 10%, which can be said to be so low that major banks want to jump on it.
You might as well borrow some money!
Now Simon doesn't mind borrowing money. The key is that he has too much money to spend. Borrowing money again is no different from borrowing a pile of waste paper and is completely unnecessary.
The agreement was finalized and the news was officially released the next day, making it Daenerys Entertainment’s second acquisition this year after PolyGram.
It is inevitable that there will be another heated discussion.
The focus of this discussion is not whether the federal government will approve this acquisition. In fact, Blockbuster has gradually divested non-self-operated businesses in recent years, and its almost self-defeating behavior has also caused dissatisfaction among many shareholders. This has already caused dissatisfaction among many shareholders. Minimizes barriers to federal approval.
Now, only Blockbuster, which has direct-operated stores and online channels, is still the world's largest chain, but it is not much ahead of other competitors. The only difference is the inclination of the network business, and Blockbuster is undoubtedly the most focused.
All in all, unless Washington takes the initiative to create difficulties, there is basically no reason to veto this merger.
