At the party, after talking to Simon about USA and Paramount's film cooperation with Daenerys, Martin Davis glanced around, came closer, and asked in a low voice: "Simon, do you think the British pound will be able to win this time?" Can you hold it?"
In the past week, the Quantum Fund headed by Soros officially launched an attack on the European Monetary System.
In just three days, the Italian lira declared its defeat and actively chose to devalue.
The international hot money that won the initial battle then turned its target to the pound.
On September 17th and September 18th, the two sides fought several times. The British government raised the short-term lending rate to an astonishing 15% and invested nearly 10 billion pounds worth of foreign exchange reserves to undertake the sale of pounds in the foreign exchange market. , and then the exchange rate was barely maintained.
However, international hot money obviously has no intention of giving up.
Just today, out of overall considerations, Germany finally agreed to make a small concession and lower the bank interest rate by 0.5 percentage points in an attempt to release water to the market to ease the pressure on the currencies of other allied countries.
However, this slight concession does not help the overall situation.
Now, the whole world is staring at the final battle between the British government and international hot money next week. Once the pound loses, the European Community's attempt to establish a European monetary system that confronts the US dollar will also fall apart.
Simon noticed the probing look in Martin Davis's eyes, shook his head, and said with obvious regret in his tone: "Martin, Cersei Capital is not participating in the operation of the European market this time."
Martin Davis was a little disbelieving at first, but he quickly realized something.
As a shrewd businessman with many years of hard work, he quickly realized the reason why Simon did this.
Cersei Capital is not one of those relatively pure hedge funds. This company is behind the entire Westeros system. If Cersei Capital participates in this attack, European countries will inevitably attack other companies in the Westeros system.
However, from the tone and demeanor of Simon's answer just now, he also got the answer to his question.
Westeros believes that the pound cannot hold.
The sudden rise of the young man in front of him in just six years has made the wealthy people in the United States very keen on investing in the financial field in recent years. Martin Davis is no exception. This time they jointly attacked the European monetary system, and his work on Wall Street A hedge fund invested US$20 million, which is a large part of his fortune.
There are more and more capital forces coveting Paramount Communications. Not surprisingly, Martin Davis feels that the company he is running may change hands in recent years, and he will retire by then.
Martin Davis is far less wealthy than Simon at this time. This investment of 20 million US dollars is directly related to his quality of life after retirement.
Although the Italian lira fell last week, Martin Davis was still a little worried in the face of the pound, which has not actively depreciated in hundreds of years.
Simon's understatement gave Martin Davis reassurance.
There is no interest between the two parties in this regard, and Martin Davis believes that Simon will not deliberately mislead him.
Of course, all bets have been placed. If Simon had just said that international hot money would fail, Martin Davis would be helpless now.
Feeling relaxed, Martin Davis continued chatting with Simon for a while, then took the initiative to get up and walk away.
Just as Simon stood up, a small figure came over, but it was Sarah Michelle Gellar, who played Susan's daughter. She raised her little face and said hello: "Hi, Simon."
"Good evening Sarah, you look so beautiful tonight."
"Thanks."
Seeing the girl approaching him, the height difference becoming more and more obvious, Simon simply took two steps back and sat down on the sofa where he was just now.
Sarah noticed that the drink in the man's hand had been finished, and took the initiative to ask for a glass of champagne from the passing waiter and handed it to Simon. Then she sat down next to him obediently and took the initiative to find a topic: "Simon, have you seen my performance?" Yet?"
Simon nodded and said: "Of course, very good."
The girl actually knew that her role in the first episode was very small. She just asked casually, but she was very happy when she heard Simon's compliment. Her petite body couldn't help but move towards the man, and she looked at Simon carefully without saying anything. Disgusted, he felt relieved and took the initiative to chat about other topics.
Of course Simon noticed the girl's little moves, but he just felt that this precocious little girl looked very interesting.
After chatting patiently with the girl for a while, Simon stood up and said, "Well, Sarah, I want to say hello to the other guests."
Sarah quickly stood up and followed Simon. After hesitating for a moment, she whispered: "Simon, you, um, you said last time that you wanted to take me to Europe."
Seeing the girl pretending to be resentful, Simon smiled and said, "But you should know that you can't believe what a man says."
"But," the girl looked at Simon's joking expression and still said resentfully: "You are Simon, how can you lie to others?"
Simon didn't answer any more, he just raised his hand and hit the girl on the head, and said with a smile: "Go have fun, don't drink, and go home early."
Being knocked by Simon, although it didn't hurt, the expression on Sarah's face was even more pitiful. However, the girl also realized something and watched Simon walk away, but did not catch up with him unknowingly.
I don’t know why, probably because of the detail of Jon Peters striking up a conversation with her before and she happened to be seen. Sheila Ward tried to avoid a certain guy at subsequent parties, but she could always notice him. figure.
This continued until it was almost ten o'clock. I ran to the bathroom to touch up my makeup, thinking that I could leave soon. As soon as I returned to the lobby, I saw the guy chatting with a couple. The other party was in "New York City". "The Wife" actors, Kris Jenner and Bruce Jenner.
The man glanced over again, knowing that he couldn't hide, so he had to take the initiative to step forward.
The couple who were chatting with him walked away knowingly. She didn't know if it was an illusion or a woman's unique sensitivity. She noticed that the woman quietly winked at the man.
It’s really…
"Are you happy tonight?"
"not at all."
I blurted it out subconsciously, and then realized that I actually said it in front of my master.
I was immediately embarrassed and wanted to run away.
Simon just smiled and said: "You are so charming, it must be because you are entangled with many men, right?"
right!
There is one right in front of me.
This time I was careful not to say it directly.
However, he was praising himself as very charming. Should he say thank you
However, it still felt a little weird for a little man who was so much younger than himself to praise him.
Looking around wildly, he suddenly found a topic: "You, madam, aren't you here tonight?"
"She's in New York."
“…”
I immediately regretted asking this question.
How silly.
"Since you're not happy, how about we leave early and go to Seattle?"
Come again.
That was it last time.
That's it.
His thoughts turned around and he said, "Why don't you take that little girl to Seattle? She should be very willing."
"How do you know she is willing?"
how do you know
I'm not blind, I can see it at a glance.
Simply rolled her eyes at him.
"The way you roll your eyes is very beautiful, it has a special charm."
"You are so good at complimenting women, why don't you find other women? At least half of the people in this hall will be willing."
"Which half are you in?"
"The unwilling half."
"It just so happens that I am more inclined to the unwilling half."
"You are so overbearing."
"Well, how about I take you home? It's already very late, and you're not happy."
Is there any worse excuse than this
I wanted to roll my eyes at him again, but I remembered what he had just said, but I held it back to prevent this little bastard from seeing anything.
Then, I saw him directly ordering people to prepare the car.
He quickly said: "I drove here by myself."
"This is even worse. You have been drinking. How can you drive after drinking?"
"I just had a few glasses of champagne, I'll be fine."
"You are a big star now. If you are caught, it will be a scandal, and "Desperate Housewives" will also be implicated. Now, let's go, I will take you back."
The man made a gesture of invitation, and she subconsciously looked around and found a reason. Well, she just didn't want to embarrass him too much.
Then he walked outside.
Then he got in the car.
Then I felt a little helpless.
The villa on the island in the center of Seattle's lake was really nice. Early the next morning, I stood on the balcony of the bedroom on the second floor of the villa and looked around. I couldn't help but wonder when I would be able to afford such a villa.
I didn’t dare to think about it before.
Now, although "Desperate Housewives" has only aired its first episode, the popularity of its leading actors has risen rapidly due to ratings.
Although the salary for starring in the TV series itself is not too high, advertisers are already contacting her about endorsements.
However, it seems that it is still not easy to pay for such a villa.
Perhaps, finding a richer man to marry would be a good choice.
At her age, she should have gotten married long ago.
I had never thought about this issue before, but at a certain moment, being held tightly by a strong arm, I inevitably had the idea that it was probably time to get married.
There is certainly no shortage of suitors around her.
Just because I didn't plan to get married before, several relationships between men and women didn't last long.
Now that my career has stabilized and I have a certain idea, it’s time to think about it in the future.
The little man hugged him from behind again, without resisting, and even found a more comfortable position to cuddle up against him. This little bastard was really strong.
Thinking that he was only wearing a man's shirt, he blushed inexplicably.
All the clothes from last night were torn to pieces by him.
He also said that he would compensate her 100 pieces.
He couldn't suffer a loss, so he said: "You, don't go back on your word."
The man behind him seemed stunned for a moment, pretending to be horrified: "What did I do?"
He looked like he was proposing after drinking and wanted to default on the debt when he woke up.
asshole!
Gritting her teeth, she wanted to bite him: "I mean, clothes."
"Yes, 100 pieces."
Suddenly he realized that even ten thousand items were nothing to him.
This guy has $65 billion.
65 billion US dollars, well, if converted into banknotes, I don’t know if it can fill Lake Washington in front of us.
"What are you thinking about?"
He quickly put away some useless idea and said: "Get married."
“…”
He rolled his eyes slightly, but asked curiously: "Why did you get married so early?"
"When I feel I have found the right person, I get married."
Holding another woman in his arms like this, he still acted in a matter-of-fact tone, and couldn't help teasing her: "Then why are you still pestering me?"
"Yeah, I'm not a good man."
Just admit it? !
How can I continue to ridicule you if you don't even make excuses
"Do you want to hear my excuses and then make fun of me?"
"yes."
What can you do to me
It is too easy for a man to treat a woman, especially a man who is physically strong and energetic.
So she was carried directly back to the bedroom.
I just remember finally biting him hard, on the shoulder.
It was still sunny in Seattle in the early morning, but it started to rain again at noon.
The autumn rain was a bit cool and lazy, so I felt lazy and didn't even want to leave the villa in the middle of the lake.
However, "Desperate Housewives" is indeed being filmed and broadcast at the same time. Although the filming started two months in advance and the accumulated episodes are enough to last a few weeks, she cannot stop the crew just because she is alone.
Although, because of the little man beside her, she felt that it was okay to really do this, but after all, she was not a willful little girl.
Until nightfall, he once again flew back to Los Angeles on his luxurious Boeing 767.
It is inevitable to fantasize a bit.
It would be great if I could go wherever I want.
But, after all, it can only be imagined.
Of course you can afford to fly, but you won’t be able to have the feeling of a private jet after all.
The young man seemed to be able to easily read the woman's thoughts and said that he could borrow his private jet in the future.
He quickly refused.
I have no intention of becoming his lover.
Although this does seem very tempting, I can't help but think of my own age.
If I were that little girl, maybe I would be willing. Even if he doesn't like me in the future, it won't be too late for many things. Now, she couldn't afford to spend time.
It's safest to find a man to marry.
So she spoke to him about this issue very seriously. Among the men around her who were pursuing her, there seemed to be some good ones.
The subtext is, of course, don’t pester me anymore.
The considerate little man agreed on the spot.
However, thinking about the scene when the married woman ogled him at the celebration party, I felt that his guarantee was really not credible at all.
How can you believe what a man says
So, just stop thinking about it.
It was a new week and she started working again. She had forgotten some things she thought she had forgotten, but suddenly, someone gave her 100 sets of clothes.
Not 100 pieces, but 100 sets.
Casual wear, formal wear, and professional suits are all available.
And, since it comes in a complete set, of course, it also comes with underwear and shoes.
Of course, because they were made by a certain little man, all the clothes were not cheap, especially some of the haute couture dresses. She could not afford even one of them with her salary from the entire season of "Desperate Housewives."
At a certain moment, a certain emotion called romance was captured.
Break up quickly.
I also found a reason.
It's so rascal to give women underwear as a gift.
