Until the Boeing 767 glided down the runway at Los Angeles International Airport, Simon was still thinking about how to create the Ygritte Portal News Channel.
In the short term, Igret can only choose to cooperate with traditional news media.
Simon himself is very aware of the strong impact of Internet information on traditional print media and television media industries. If he owns a traditional media platform, he will definitely curb the development of Internet media as much as possible. If he wants to cooperate and share content, don't even think about it.
However, the current Internet user group is too small after all, and only a handful of people can see the future at a glance.
Some of the contacts that Simon contacted during this period, including Murdoch from News Corporation, expressed that they could provide some content support for the Igret portal.
Of course, fees still have to be paid.
The Boeing 767 came to a stop on the runway, and the sound of the high heels of girls C and D could be heard in his ears. Simon raised his head and caught the eyes of Jennifer opposite him looking at him intently. He smiled and said, "Why don't you come with me? Going to Malibu for dinner?”
The female assistant resisted the temptation to look away, but shook her head and said, "It's been a week. Jenny will go crazy if we chase her again."
Janet and Simon had left Los Angeles the previous Monday, with Simon heading north to San Francisco and the woman heading east to New York. However, according to their work arrangements, Janet had returned to the West Coast on Thursday, and Simon had been there until Sunday. In total, the two had not seen each other for a week.
Simon and Janet got married in early March, and within two months they were separated for a week, which also attracted some media attention.
Yesterday at breakfast, the female assistant showed Simon a newspaper that reported that "the Westeros couple is suspected of separating", but Simon didn't care. He knew that Janet wouldn't care either. With their current wealth and status, It is impossible to live an unchanging nine-to-five life like an ordinary couple.
Moreover, many things can withstand wind and rain but cannot withstand dullness. An occasional separation is actually beneficial to the relationship between each other.
After leaving Los Angeles International Airport and arranging for someone to take the female assistant home, Simon also returned to Malibu with his entourage.
When we returned to the mansion on the west side of Dumei Point, it was already dusk.
As soon as she entered the living room of the villa, Janet, who was wearing a casual home dress, came up to her and hugged Simon affectionately. After letting him go, she shook two round marble samples in her hands and said: "Turkey's goose feather gold , Indian rainforest coffee, which one do you think is better?"
The renovation of the villa in Dume Point Manor has begun. During yesterday's phone call, Janet and Simon discussed what kind of marble should be used for the lobby floor of Shell Villa.
Simon looked at the two marble samples covered with irregular textures in Janet's hand, and knew that the woman was still a little emotional because of his absence for a week, expressing her dissatisfaction. Not to mention the colors of the two marbles, it is just the naturally formed irregular texture pattern. If it is really paved under the feet, Simon, who has a tendency of perfectionism and obsessive-compulsive disorder, will definitely be on pins and needles.
After pretending to look at her carefully, Simon put his arms around Janet's slim waist again and said with a smile: "Come take a bath with me first, and we will discuss it carefully in the bathtub."
After saying this, without waiting for Janet to respond, the woman's light body was picked up by Simon and walked upstairs.
Janet grabbed two pieces of marble and patted Simon gently, then said softly: "Dinner is being prepared in the kitchen, I want to watch."
Simon lowered his head and kissed the woman on the lips and said, "No, I decided to eat you first and then dinner."
I got home at seven o'clock in the evening and took a shower until about nine o'clock.
The original dinner had already gone cold and had to be remade.
It wasn't until ten o'clock in the evening that the two of them sat down at the dining table.
Janet habitually stayed next to Simon, with a seductive blush still on her fair face. While eating, she chatted about various recent events. She bought a few new skirts, and Patrick was almost sent away by the old man. South Africa, Cersei Capital is recruiting a new group of people recently. Is the female assistant so useless in bed that Simon seems to have been hungry for a week
The next day is Monday. Janet does not plan to go to the East Coast this week. Simon has been busy for a week and plans to take a day off and take a closer look at the operations of Cersei Capital during this period.
It's May soon. Since Saudi Arabia and Kuwait and other Middle Eastern oil producers announced increases in production in early March, in less than two months, international crude oil prices have fallen rapidly from a high of 19 US dollars a barrel to 16 US dollars, a drop of 15.7%.
Cersei Fund Management, a subsidiary of Cersei Capital, began to establish short positions a month in advance. After countries such as Saudi Arabia and Kuwait announced increases in production, they continued to increase their bets. Hedge funds totaling US$3.5 billion have invested more than 2.1 billion at this time. USD funds.
With the support of high leverage, short positions with a total value of more than 20 billion US dollars were due to the sharp fluctuations in crude oil prices. As of the last trading day last Friday, the book profit reached 2.27 billion US dollars.
On the other hand, the plunge in crude oil prices has made the domestic economy of Iraq, which relies heavily on oil exports, even worse. Saddam has been putting pressure on Kuwait and other countries in the past two months, and has even made a statement that he will not hesitate to fight.
Simon has been paying close attention to various news related to the situation in the Middle East.
The exact time of Iraq's invasion of Kuwait in my memory was August 2. Simon planned to start establishing long positions one month in advance based on the information in his memory. He planned to establish long positions when the international crude oil price was still in a downward trend. This was actually a very risky move. If there is an unexpected change in the situation in the Middle East that is inconsistent with Simon's memory, Cersei Capital may lose most of the huge book profit it made in the early stage.
However, just like Cersei Capital began to open short positions before many hedge funds had even reacted, high risks can lead to high returns.
Compared with other hedge funds, Cersei Capital has a much higher chance of winning thanks to Simon's prophetic advantage. Such a risk is completely worth it.
In the study room on the second floor of the villa.
Janet was sitting behind the desk discussing hedge funds with Simon, looking through a stack of resumes in front of her, and occasionally picking up the phone to communicate with the New York side.
Simon sat leisurely on the single sofa by the floor-to-ceiling window with his legs crossed. There was a glass of water on the coffee table. After reading the transaction details of Cersei Fund Management Company last week, he also flipped through a batch of items he brought back from San Francisco yesterday. Technology executive resume.
After hanging up the call with New York again, Janet looked at the time. It was almost noon. She leaned on the leather chair and stretched out a little coquettishly. She asked Simon: "My dear, find the right person." Yet?"
Simon picked up a resume that was put aside and said: "A woman, but I think she is only suitable to be responsible for Yigret's World Wide Web software business, portals and other online products. Others need to be responsible."
Janet heard that Simon said she was a woman, so she stood up and came to Simon's side, sat directly in the man's arms, and grabbed the establishment look.
Carol Bartz, 42 years old, currently serves as SUN's vice president of global operations and has 20 years of work experience in computer-related industries.
After roughly reading Carol Butts' information, and finally taking a look at the photos to confirm that she was not the type Simon was interested in, Janet said in a professional tone: "I think she is very good, with experience and qualifications." It’s enough, and it should be more than enough to control Ygrit.”
In addition to the information in front of him, Simon also knew that Carol Bartz would take charge of the computer graphics software company Autodesk in the next few years and single-handedly build this company into the world's leading computer graphics software group.
In my memory, because of Carol Bartz's outstanding performance at Autodesk, she also served as the CEO of Yahoo from 2009 to 2011. However, Yahoo was already in decline at that time, and Carol Bartz was right Yahoo carried out a series of powerful reforms, but ultimately failed to escape the fate of being fired by the Yahoo board of directors.
Thinking about this, Simon said: "Carol Bartz's experience and qualifications are sufficient, so I hope she can be responsible for the sales operations of the World Wide Web series software. But the portal is different from other online businesses. This has never been the case. There are no successful cases that can be used for reference in new fields that people have set foot in. What is needed is innovation and risk-taking. Carol Butts’ long-term industry work experience in the past may have allowed her to form certain fixed thinking patterns. Instead, it will become a constraint.”
Janet huddled in Simon's arms like a kitten and listened to the man say, "If that's the case, it will probably be difficult to find the right person."
"You can definitely find it if you search slowly," Simon said helplessly, "What I need is an efficient executor who does not have a fixed behavioral pattern. He must have a certain understanding of the new technology field and will not ignore the traditional The business models of technology companies such as IBM and Intel are integrated into Yigret's daily management."
Janet raised her face to listen to the man's words, blinked her beautiful eyes a few times, and said, "I just seemed to see someone you need."
Simon was confused: "Huh?"
"I think what you need is a layman."
Janet said, stood up with a smile on her face, tiptoed to the desk, pulled it out a few times, pulled out a resume, floated back, leaned into Simon's arms again, handed the resume to the man and said, "Now."
Simon took the resume and glanced at it, and suddenly felt a bit strange.
The resume clearly stated a name that was very familiar to Simon: Jeff Bezos.
Janet's slender little body huddled in Simon's arms. She didn't notice the man's strange expression. She crossed her fingers on the resume twice and said, "This is good. He graduated from Princeton University with a major in computer science. He is the same as you." My major at Stanford was the same. After graduation, I briefly interned at technology companies such as Intel and Bell Labs. Now I work in the fund investment department of Bankers Trust. Although I am only 26 years old, last year I became Bankers Trust’s largest The young vice president of the investment department is very capable. I originally planned to recruit him to Fink’s team, but now I’ll leave it to you.”
Janet Barabara said, and finally waved her hand grandly, looking very generous.
Simon lamented how small and wonderful the world is. He put Jeff Bezos' resume aside, picked up the woman's face in his arms, kissed her a few times, and said, "Baby, what do you want to eat for lunch?"
Janet paused, blinked her eyes a few times, twisted her body in the man's arms, and said, "How about eating me?"
Of course this little wish must be fulfilled for her.
Simon picked up the woman and left the study, heading towards the bedroom next door.
Janet was a little surprised. When Simon opened the bedroom door and threw her on the big bed, she said, "You really want to eat me, and it's noon now?"
Simon unbuttoned his shirt, bared his teeth in a vicious expression, and said, "Not even the bones are left."
Now that he has met Jeff Bezos, Simon will naturally not let him go.
The current Yigrit portal business is a piece of white paper. Simon does not need a paintbrush because he is the paintbrush himself. He needs another piece of white paper on which he can draw, and then transfer the completed work to Yigrit. Rhett, this blank piece of paper.
Jeff Bezos is undoubtedly a very suitable blank slate.
Although Jeff Bezos is still only 26 years old, this is not a problem.
Simon himself has just turned 22.
What's more, Simon has always believed that before the age of 30 is the golden age for many people to create a career. Based on this calculation, Jeff Bezos is just the right age.
The words are divided into two parts.
Jeff Bezos feels that his recent experience is also a bit bizarre.
In the four years since graduating from Princeton University, he has quickly launched his career.
Originally, Bezos also received some rumors about Cersei Capital’s intention to invite him to join.
Compared with the old Bankers Trust, which has a history of nearly a century, Cersei Capital, a fund company that has miraculously risen rapidly, is indeed very attractive to him.
When Westeros president James Raybould invited him to lunch, Bezos thought it was an interview with Cersei Capital.
After all, everyone knows that Westeros Company is the parent company of Cersei Capital, or the parent company of four 'women': Daenerys, Igret, Melisandre, and Cersei.
Then, Bezos unexpectedly discovered that the other party did not invite him to join Cersei, but Ygritte.
What's going on
After lunch with James Raybould, the other party left him a thick memo.
Jeff Bezos, who was completely confused, read this memo about Simon Westeros' various ideas and prospects for Ygrit and the entire Internet industry, and personally collected some budding Internet industries. After reading the information, I quickly made the decision to join this company.
On the other hand, Simon will certainly not directly hand over the entire Eagleite company to Jeff Bezos. Strictly speaking, Bezos will only be an executor in the short term, and Simon will still be the 'paint brush'. Therefore, Simon also extended an invitation to Carol Bartz, still intending to put the other person in charge of the World Wide Web software operation business of Eagle Reiter.
After personally communicating with Carol Butts and gaining understanding from SUN, Carol Butts quickly chose to join Eagle.
After some adjustments, Simon personally took charge of the chairman of Yigrit and took control of the overall situation. Tim Berners-Lee still served as CEO of Yigrit, but was mainly in charge of the company's technology research and development department. Carol Bartz and Jeff Bezos also serves as President of Eaglet, responsible for the operations of the World Wide Web software and the Eaglet portal.
