"... This is not a problem of lack of communication, Bill... I can only say that in the future, the Westeros system will only choose political allies that are beneficial to the Federation and ourselves... These are two conditions, for the Federation and Westeros Luo, Bill, regarding the former, I am not talking empty words. If the Federation is a big ship, I will be the hardest passenger to escape on the ship. Therefore, I will never hope that this big ship will welcome its own Titan. Nick's moment... This is not something that can be explained clearly on the phone. Maybe we can talk in person if we have time in the future... By the way, I am entertaining some guests here, and Hillary happens to be here. Do you want to talk to her... Hmm …That’s it, goodbye…”
On 68th Street in the Upper East Side, inside the penthouse duplex that I purchased early on.
Simon hung up the phone call with Mr. President, leaned back on the sofa, and slowly breathed a sigh of relief. After a moment, he raised his feet and lifted the woman in front of him to the side. He stood up, arranged his clothes, and said, "You can do it later." Come out again."
Open the study door.
In addition to Carmen Keith who was guarding the door, there were three other girls who were eye-to-eye with the tall girl. They were Evgenia Kolkoshko, Natalia Lyudaeva and Yeka. Telina Noskova, three of the first batch of onions that Simon collected in Ukraine.
Relying on Simon's relationship, the fathers of the three daughters are also among the most prosperous group of upstarts in Ukraine.
Yevgenia Korkoshko's father Vladimir, who is now the governor of Rivne Oblast, came to the United States to participate in business negotiations and was downstairs at this time.
Natalia Lyudaeva’s uncle, Alexander Lyudaev, is in charge of the Rivni Media and Entertainment Group and is the public opinion mouthpiece of the Rivne Gang.
Ekaterina Noskova's father, Maxim Noskov, manages the largest fertilizer industry group in Eastern Europe invested by the Westeros system. This company's expansion tentacles have spread to Eastern European countries except Ukraine. .
Still because of Simon's relationship, the three little scallions are already involved in the affairs of the Rovno Gang. Except for Noskova, who has an uneasy relationship with her father, the other two women also cooperate with their fathers in their work.
Simon closed the study door behind him as if nothing had happened. He looked at the three girls who were obviously dressed up carefully today and said with a smile: "Blocking the door is not a good habit."
When Simon came out, the three girls ignored Carmen and crowded in front of the man. Lyudaeva and Noskova grabbed Simon's left and right positions and held his arms. Korkoszko on the periphery did not If you can get close, you can only rush to talk: "Simon, what are you doing?"
Taking the three girls to the stairs, Simon said: "Call Mr. President."
This reason immediately dispelled the doubts of the three girls, and she wisely stopped asking any more questions. Lyudaeva hugged the man's arm tightly, and said with beautiful eyes: "Simon, you haven't been to Livni for a long time, um... I mean, are you free tonight?”
Simon felt the daughter-like fragrance of the girls around him and expressed regret: "No, I have to fly to Canada in the afternoon."
The three girls let out small sighs of disappointment.
Noskova did not give up and tried: "Simon, can we come together? We have been there before?"
"Not this time."
When they came to the stairs, Kolkoszko, who was rushing to walk in front, turned his head and tried to seduce again: "Simon, we specially selected a few new waitresses to come to the United States together. If they can go to Canada, they can also bring them with us. Come on."
Noskova added as if taking credit: "They are all beautiful."
"That's it," Simon said as a sign of interest, "Send them over and give them to Carmen. I'll take them with me when I go to Canada."
Noskova blinked: "What about us?"
"Forget it, next time."
Lyudaeva, who was hanging on the other side of Simon, said pitifully: "Simon, you are so hateful."
As he spoke, he quickly came to the reception hall downstairs. In addition to the Ukrainian delegation, many other guests were also invited to accompany them. Everyone was in small groups, which was very lively.
Simon lowered his head and kissed the taller Lyudaeva on the raised cheek, and said: "Since you are coming to the United States, you can have fun by yourself for a few days. There is no need to follow me. Now, you have to entertain the guests, be good."
Just as he was talking, when he saw Simon coming downstairs, Victor Pinchuk came up to him with a smile. After the three girls politely walked away reluctantly, the two of them talked about the planned integration of three large infrastructure groups in Ukraine.
The Rovne family, the Odessa family.
The last one will be assigned to the Kiev family, and naturally the presidential family will take over.
After talking for a while, and just as he was about to sensibly let Simon go to other guests, Pinchuk paused again and asked: "Simon, where is the president's wife? She was still here just now?"
Simon nodded slightly to Rudy Giuliani, the current mayor of New York City, who came over. Hearing this, he said casually: "Maybe you went to the bathroom. You can look for it."
Then he turned to Giuliani: "Rudy, nice to meet you."
"Simon, it is an honor for me to receive your invitation."
Rudy Giuliani said with emotion in his heart.
The two actually had an intersection very early on. In the 1980s, Giuliani was the prosecutor of the Southern District of New York in charge of financial crimes, and a certain young man who was just starting out made a lot of money in his lifetime by relying on a short-selling operation during the 1987 stock market crash. The unimaginable amount of more than one billion US dollars has naturally become Giuliani's target.
Later, Giuliani's New York mayoral campaign also encountered Simon's sniper attack.
However, Giuliani finally got what he wanted, and faced off against former mayor David Dinkins again in 1993. Because Dinkins was concerned about his relationship with the Westeros system, he took the initiative to cut it off, and Simon simply withdrew. came out, and Giuliani successfully won the election.
Giuliani is now in his second term.
Because of previous contacts, Simon knew very early on that Giuliani was a typical politician who was very good at adapting to the changing circumstances.
Simon likes politicians who can adapt to the changing circumstances.
Just like the second confrontation with Dinkins, Giuliani directly pointed the finger at Simon, the financial backer behind Dinkins. However, after taking office, the new mayor never targeted the Westeros system again. .
Not only that, he also took the initiative to show his kindness in private.
One of the interesting ones is that after Giuliani came to power, he launched the "New Life Movement" in the Big Apple area, focusing on cracking down on dock gangs and underground nightclubs and other places that affected regional security. Many famous nightclubs in New York with a long history were closed as a result.
However, there was an exception.
That nightclub is called 'Tunnel'.
It was there that Emma Treston, who was envied and hated by countless New York girls, met Simon.
The 'Tunnel' nightclub, which was renovated from an abandoned train station in the Lower City, is not an exaggeration to say that it has all five evils according to Giuliani's 'New Life Movement' standards. However, because Simon once visited this place, many other nightclubs have recently It has been banned for several years, but the tunnel continues to operate and is becoming more and more popular.
The reason for Simon is not conjecture, but Giuliani had an interesting conversation with James Raybould, whom he met by chance at a party.
In short, a combination of various signs led to Giuliani getting Simon's invitation this time.
Perhaps this person also saw the recent news and accurately had a premonition of changes in the political operation strategy of the Westeros system. Giuliani is only 56 years old this year and obviously has no intention of retiring from politics after this term ends.
It was just a contact, and the two parties had a good chat. However, Simon had no idea of financing the other party for the time being.
It's not because of past grudges.
They are no longer in the same plane at all, and Simon has never been a fussy person. The problem is that if someone wants to get support from Simon just to show kindness, that would be treating him as a fool.
Simon has always adhered to the principle of "you will get rewards if you give."
They only stayed at the cocktail party for an hour, and everyone who needed to be greeted was greeted. At one o'clock in the afternoon, Simon left early, and the others continued to socialize. The housekeeper Angora Davis would take care of this place.
We drove to the East Coast headquarters of Daenerys Entertainment on 66th Street in the Upper West Side, where our afternoon schedule was scheduled.
He entered the office building with his entourage, and just as he was about to step into a special elevator, a female voice came after him: "Mr. Westeros..."
Turning around, I saw Brooke Shields.
Instructing the bodyguard who subconsciously stretched out his hand not to stop him, Simon walked into the elevator and motioned for the other person to follow him in. He asked with a smile: "Which floor are you going to?"
"Ninth floor," Brooke Shields replied, touching the man next to her, with surprise on her face: "It's really you, Simon. I didn't expect to meet you today. This must be my lucky day."
As he spoke, he also covered his chest. He was a little out of breath because of the quick pursuit.
Simon looked at the woman next to him. Today, Brooke Shields was wearing a black leather jacket, dark blue jeans with slightly flared trouser legs, and black high heels. The overall tight-fitting style made the "eighth wonder of the world" even more slender. She has a slender figure. At the age of 35, she has long lost the youthfulness in "Beautiful Baby" and looks full of aura.
Brooke Shields glanced at the cool female assistant who was pressing the elevator button, and withdrew her gaze. She felt the man next to her looking at her, and moved forward slightly to give the man a better angle, while meeting his gaze: "I …Simon, I’m going to audition for a movie, how about you?”
Simon joked: "I'd probably be sitting behind the audition table."
Brooke Shields was stunned for a moment, then realized that the man was joking with her, and laughed: "It's just a TV movie, Simon you will definitely not pay attention."
"Not necessarily," Simon asked, "What's your name?"
Brooke Shields seemed a little embarrassed: "Female Girl."
Simon remembered that there was such a project at DHO. He had seen the planning and had a budget of 8 million US dollars. It told the story of a team of female criminals who were recruited to act as agents to save the world.
A low-end version of "Charlie's Angels".
To put it bluntly, it’s selling meat.
However, as long as this type of film is made with a little more care, although it is destined to be hopeless in theaters, it is more than enough to make a fortune through Daenerys Entertainment's two major home entertainment channels, DHO and Blockbuster.
Because it is really suitable as a pastime to spend your free time.
With this thought in mind, Simon glanced at the tall woman next to him again, and said with a smile: "You are neither a femme fatale nor an agent, so you are not suitable for this movie."
When Brooke Shields heard this, she opened her mouth slightly, with a resentful and aggrieved expression.
A certain young tycoon who dominates the world in Hollywood has spoken like this, does he still need to audition
Still said: "You have to give it a try, the agent has arranged it."
Brooke Shields, who became famous at a young age, has never been mainstream in the North American entertainment circle. Now she is only an ordinary third-tier celebrity. She has basically given up on the theater movie industry and has been running her own TV career in recent years.
Therefore, she actually doesn’t have many choices. She is chosen by the project.
Simon really feels that the women around him are not suitable. Think about this adventurous female reporter character in the comic book adaptation movie "Angel"... Well, some of the attributions are completely nonsense, because there is no strong female temperament at all. Without performing, she is still the beautiful baby who can’t be in a vase anymore.
We arrived at the ninth floor in a blink of an eye.
When the elevator door opened, Simon retracted his thoughts. Seeing Brooke Shields still looking at him eagerly, he thought for a while and said, "You go to the audition first. I will have time around four o'clock to talk in private."
Brooke Shields nodded subconsciously, then thought of something, slightly dodged her gaze, and quickly came over again: "Simon, then, how should I find you later?"
Simon said: "I will ask someone to bring you over."
The work in the afternoon went on as planned. The more important thing was a meeting with ESPN. Steve Bernstein introduced the exclusive broadcast rights of Major League Baseball that had just been finalized.
Still very expensive.
But of course, the wool is in the sheep.
Since the decision to monopolize rugby events has been proven to be correct, there is no need to worry too much this time.
The next step is basketball.
Speaking of which, many people have suggested that Simon buy some teams over the years, whether it is football, baseball, or basketball, which actually have commercial potential and will also bring additional public influence.
Simon has always shown little interest in this.
Simon is happy to buy a modeling agency like Elite to help beautiful young people start their own fashion careers, but he really has no patience for a group of muscular male athletes.
Wandering between different departments until four o'clock, Simon finally returned to his personal office here.
The last hour of work is planned to be spent on various accumulated documents.
By the way, have fun.
five o'clock.
Carrying a set of women's clothes covered in a dust jacket and holding some documents in her other hand, Carmen Case knocked on the door and entered her boss's office.
First you see some torn pieces of fabric scattered here and there.
No one was seen.
But he didn't speak, and stood quietly waiting for a moment. The bathroom door opened, and his boss straightened his shirt collar and walked out from there. When he saw Carmen, he asked: "Is the plane ready?"
Carmen nodded slightly: "Yes."
"You don't have to follow me anymore. You can rest for a few days."
Carmen sniffed slightly, paused for a moment, and nodded again: "Yes."
As he spoke, he put the things in his hands on the coffee table in the rest area, took his boss's coat, stepped forward to help the man put it on, and said softly: "The girl Miss Kolkosko and the others sent has been sent to the plane. Come on, six in total."
Simon was startled for a moment, remembering that it was a joke at noon. He didn't say anything, just nodded.
After helping the man put on his coat, Carmen gestured to a stack of folders on the coffee table: "There are still some documents, boss, do you want to take them with you to read?"
Simon glanced at it: "Convert it into an electronic document and send it to my mailbox."
"OK."
After finishing the matter, Simon was about to leave. Seeing Carmen's determined look, he reached out and grabbed the girl's chin: "Smile, don't look cold all day long, you are not a femme fatale agent."
Carmen curled her lips obediently.
Simon quickly shook his head: "Forget it, it's better to look colder. When you smile, your cheekbones will appear to be high."
Carmen immediately closed her lips and returned to her iceberg beauty state.
Simon nodded with satisfaction, leaned forward and pecked Carmen's cool lips. Seeing the girl's long eyelashes fluttering like frightened little brushes, he pecked her again and said with a smile: "I'm leaving, be good." .”
Carmen sent her boss out, waited for the man to enter the elevator with two bodyguards, and watched the elevator door close before returning.
I glanced at the somewhat messy office again, turned around and walked to the bathroom, only to find that there was no one there. He exited, looked around, walked behind his boss's large desk, and finally found his target under the desk.
Seems... asleep
Because of some shallow thoughts, she wanted to leave like this, but the responsibility engraved in her bones prevented her from doing so. She called out softly: "Ms. Xiaosi?"
no response.
Crouching down, she pushed a certain woman who was sleeping or unconscious on the ground. Before Carmen could speak again, Brooke Shields trembled and began to beg for mercy in a daze: "Simon, OH, PLEASE... "
The destination for the evening is Toronto.
A woman who unexpectedly got pregnant during Cannes this year has begun to reveal her pregnancy and is hiding here to raise her baby.
Simon boarded the plane and first saw the gifts brought to him by the three Korkosko girls. He briefly appreciated them, sent them away for the time being, and went to the study room in the front cabin alone.
Carmen has sent some electronic documents to the mailbox.
Simon called up and browsed, and he was more concerned about today's stock market trends.
After breaking through the trillion-dollar market capitalization mark this morning and reaching US$1,000.3 billion, Tinker Bayer's stock price fell again. At the close of trading today, the final single-day stock price increase was 4.3%, and the market value was fixed at US$997.9 billion.
Even if it falls back to within one trillion U.S. dollars, Tinker Bayer is still the second U.S. listed company to achieve a market value of one trillion U.S. dollars, and is destined to leave a mark in business history.
Daenerys Entertainment, which has made wedding clothes for others, today's stock price has also surged by 3.9% relative to its own size. Its market value has soared from US$933.5 billion before the opening to US$969.1 billion, which is close to one trillion US dollars. There is only a gap of US$30.9 billion between the threshold.
There is a gap of just over 30 billion. If everything goes well, all it takes is a jump in the stock price. If nothing else, reaching a certain goal will be a matter of the next few days.
In addition to the three leading stocks that have attracted much attention, Ygritte, Tinker Bayer and Daenerys, at the overall market level, Nasdaq's closing increase today was fixed at 2.2%. According to the market value of the entire Nasdaq, this has already Equivalent to a market value fluctuation of US$230 billion.
The total market capitalization of all stocks on the Nasdaq market therefore reaches $10.4 trillion.
Having said that, these numbers may seem extremely dazzling to ordinary people, but for Simon, they cannot pull too many heartstrings.
In fact, another document made Simon dumbfounded.
After obtaining Enron's false accounting information in advance, and with this big thunder in hand, the Westeros system has been quietly establishing short positions in technology stocks recently. Currently, the size of various types of positions accumulated through a large number of accounts distributed around the world has exceeded 16 billion US dollars. .
The overall planned position size is about 30 billion.
And because of this wave of gains, all short sellers suffered a book loss of more than 300 million US dollars today. It may not seem like much, but if this kind of fluctuation occurs every day, no one can stand it. Therefore, it is foreseeable that under the final madness of the Nasdaq, if these positions are to be held until December, the Westeros system needs to invest more funds to reduce leverage and avoid liquidation.
It was only 500 kilometers from New York to Toronto, and it was less than 6:30 pm when we arrived at the cliffside mansion on the shores of Lake Ontario in the northwest suburbs of Toronto.
In late autumn, the sky is already dark in Toronto.
Having dinner with a certain woman, the atmosphere was originally quite harmonious. However, at the end of the dinner, things took a turn for the worse for some reason. The woman lost her temper for no reason and threw small objects at Simon again and kicked him out of the door.
Bad fate.
What a bad fate!
Sighing inwardly, he moved to another mansion that was also on the edge of the lakeside cliff. He also brought a maid who accompanied a certain woman with him.
She appears to be a waitress, but is actually a psychiatrist trained by Westeros.
After all, Simon had experienced a certain woman's emotions very early on, so it was inevitable that he would be worried.
Depression in pregnant women is no joke.
In a living room of the mansion villa, a black-haired and dark-eyed girl named Wendy Greenfield sat on the single sofa next to Simon. Her voice was soft and had a strange hypnotic flavor: "The lady's mental condition is fine. , it’s just that pregnant women have normal mood changes, which are caused by hormone secretion during pregnancy.”
Simon leaned on the corner of the couch, rubbing a red mark on his forehead, with a sense of helplessness: "Are you sure?"
Wendy nodded: "The lady does have some psychological pressure, but it's just some, not serious."
"Why?"
"Because the baby in the woman's belly belongs to the boss, and she knows that the boss can protect them."
"It seems like this is a security issue."
Wendy looked over seriously with deep black eyes: "Yes."
Simon's fingers that were about to put down moved to his temples, continued to rub them gently, and looked at each other: "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Wendy said softly: "The boss is also a person who lacks security. Moreover, the boss is not as lucky as His Highness to be able to find someone to rely on."
Simon narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the girl next to him for a moment: "It seems that you are really an excellent psychiatrist."
Wendy's voice was still soft: "I have two doctorates in psychology and sociology."
Simon continued to look at the girl next to him for a moment, and suddenly asked: "Do you have natural black hair?"
"Yes, natural black hair and eyes," Wendy said, adding: "My wife said I look like a witch."
"I think so too," Simon said, waving his hand to drive people away: "Get out."
Wendy left, and after a while, the door to the living room opened, and the housekeeper Angora Davis walked in almost silently. She saw that her boss's fingers were still pressed against his temples, and he turned to the back of the sofa and stretched out his hand to touch it.
Simon leaned back and let the housekeeper help him press.
Angelui moved his hands lightly, looked down at the little man in front of him, and after a moment, whispered: "Boss, what are you thinking about?"
Simon half-joked: "Too many goblins."
The housekeeper thought of Wendy Greenfield, who had just left. She was indeed a fairy-like girl, and the Westeros family actually raised many such girls. Angre curled his lips, knowing in his heart that his boss preferred this kind of vase to real vases. However, he still followed: "Boss, do you want to take a bath and let those six accompany you?"
Simon pushed his head back, leaned against the housekeeper's waist, and shook his head slightly: "No, they are also a group of goblins. Their English is so fluent and they still have a London accent. In fact, I prefer girls with a little accent."
"Then..." the housekeeper thought for a moment, then lowered her voice again: "There are two more. They were just delivered recently. I will bring them to the boss to see."
Simon was a little confused, raised his head and glanced, he probably understood, and nodded: "Okay, also, call Zanzao and the others, I want to listen to the music."
"Um."
The housekeeper agreed, reluctant to let go of the feeling of getting along with her boss. She lingered for a while before finally turning around and going out.
After a while, she personally pulled the two women in thin silk nightgowns back again and walked to the door. The housekeeper said to the two women wearing blindfolds in a cold and hard tone that she would never show in front of her boss: "Wait a minute. He’s just a mute, understand?”
The two beautiful women, whose Slavic characteristics were still visible despite their blindfolds, nodded slightly, as if they had been sealed in advance, without a trace of sound.
Angre was then satisfied, opened the door, and continued to lead the two women in.
Wei Cancha, Su Fengnian, Ouyang Suli and other girls from the Chinese style art troupe flew to Toronto from New York and arrived at Simon's mansion. It was already ten o'clock in the night.
Angre personally greeted him at the door and saw Shirley and Miu Miu appearing together. Although his boss didn't mention it, he thought about it and didn't say anything more. He even took the initiative to hug Shirley first. He said hello and led a group of girls in, directly to the living room where his boss was.
After knocking on the door, the housekeeper pushed the door open and noticed her mother pushing her. Miu Miu rushed in first and threw herself into the arms of the man on the sofa like a little bird: "Dad, why are you in Toronto? Well, this is … It smells so good, milk?”
Simon ignored a certain question and held the girl's waist in his arms: "Are you hungry? Let Ange prepare a midnight snack for you?"
Miu Miu didn't dwell on any issue and shook her head: "I'm not hungry, but it's so cold here. It's colder than New York."
"That's about it. Wear more clothes when you go out."
Simon said, looking at the other women, big and small. Because there was a little girl in his arms, he did not get up. He said hello and motioned to the housekeeper to help them arrange the musical instruments.
After some manipulation, the housekeeper turned off most of the lights in the living room, leaving only a faint dim light.
This time I didn't leave. I stood quietly next to the sofa where my boss was sitting and listened to a group of goblins who started singing a new Chinese song after some adjustments.
A melodious but sad tune.
He glanced at the little man not far away, lazily holding a glass of red wine, leaning against the woman beside him, occasionally tapping the girl's legs in his arms, and humming along: "... Langya Yue, the beauty is haggard, I Raise your glass and drink up the wind and snow. Who overturned the cabinet in the previous life and caused trouble..."
