Business models do not exist naturally like mathematical theorems.
The idea of an open financial information platform proposed by Simon has no very successful cases either now or in his memory. This does not mean that this idea lacks prospects. The key depends on whether Aaliyah's team has enough resources. Execution turns this idea into a sustainable business model.
Another seed was planted, and after finishing the meeting at Aaliyah Company, Simon rushed to the nearest Military Affairs Assistant Office in Greenwich.
The Assistant Office of Military Affairs is mainly responsible for coordinating and liaising with three private military companies in North America, Australia and Eastern Europe in the Simon and Westeros systems. The office is headed by Celia Miller.
There are many topics at this meeting.
Ohio-based Military Consulting and Security Services (MCSS) recently received its first order from the U.S. government and went to Serbia to provide military training for local U.S.-backed armed groups. The contract lasted for one year and was worth a total of US$20 million. It required Send 100 MCSS mercenaries there.
This order is not worth mentioning compared to the huge defense budget of the United States, but it is a good start. It includes the Miller family headed by Celia Miller, the Westeros system's own connections, and the White House. joint efforts.
Not only that, under the coordination of the president and his wife, MCSS has also become a private cooperation department of the CIA.
Since it was discovered that using various foundations and private organizations as tools to interfere in other countries is far more effective than U.S. government departments themselves, many sensitive government departments in the United States have begun to be affiliated with more and more private companies.
In the past "Prism Gate" incident, a private company was responsible for the Prism project, because in this way, even if it was exposed, the US government could shirk responsibility to the greatest extent. The United States uses various foundations overseas to interfere in the internal affairs of other countries. Even if everyone knows that the U.S. government is behind the scenes, it can still sound high-sounding because of the shell of a public welfare organization.
For MCSS, the biggest benefit of being affiliated with the CIA is that it can protect many of the company's businesses from unnecessary monitoring and review on the grounds of state secrets.
The CIA can be said to be the territory of the temporarily dormant Bush family. Bush Sr. served as the director of the CIA for eight years.
After the Westeros system proposed this idea to the White House, Mr. President, who had always known that all the unrest since he came to power was caused by the Bush family's unwillingness to lose the election, quickly agreed and implemented this affiliation. What follows is the traditional routine of the White House using the Westeros system of power and interests to jointly erode the influence of the Bush family.
The order MCSS received from the US government was also an attempt by the Clintons to extend their influence to the military.
As long as MCSS develops and grows, the Westeros system can legitimately continue to hire former military executives with high salaries as company executives or consultants, thereby building a bridge between the White House and the military. Moreover, the Westeros system itself is strong enough, and there is no need to worry about being burned by two parties in the future.
Even if there is a change of dynasty in the future, the Westeros system will inevitably be the one that the new government needs to rely on.
Beyond MCSS’s first order, there is the problem of Rwanda.
According to the original agreement reached between the Westeros system and the United Nations, Simon needs to withdraw all Ukrainian mercenaries stationed in Rwanda in October.
In order to avoid additional political turmoil, and also to let African countries interested in expanding to Westeros see that the Westeros system does not have long-term ambitions to intervene militarily in other countries, Simon had no intention of extending the original agreement.
However, after half a year of business layout, the Westeros system will not lose its influence in Rwanda after this withdrawal.
In recent months, after the Westeros System team discovered considerable natural gas reserves beneath Lake Kivu in Rwanda, Simon arranged for a Westeros mercenary base covering an area of 2,000 acres on the shores of Lake Kivu in Rwanda. Two enterprises, Lake Kivu Energy Company and Lake Kivu Electricity Company, were registered and established.
Both companies are joint ventures with the Rwandan government, with each party holding 50% of the shares. The company's operations are handled by the Westeros system, including the funds needed to start the project. Of course, the two companies will definitely provide the Rwandan government with many high-paying jobs that are well paid and do not require work.
Although the army will be withdrawn, the private military companies of the Westeros system will still set up offices in Rwanda, and the arms trading companies of the Westeros system will continue to use Rwanda as an important transit point. The Johnston family's original series of projects in various African countries have naturally strengthened their own security work.
Overall, after the Westeros mercenaries are broken into pieces, they will still maintain a strength of about 1,000 people in Africa.
This military force may not seem like much, but if gathered together, it would be more than enough to overthrow the regimes of one or two small countries in Africa. Moreover, as the Westeros system deepens its presence in Africa, the military power of the Westeros system that has penetrated African countries will only become stronger and stronger.
The afternoon meeting also discussed the layout of Ukraine.
This was not originally part of the plan that Simon initially discussed with Raymond Johnston. Ukraine's geographical location is quite sensitive and it is not easy to operate.
However, now is an opportunity.
Because in recent years, the West and the former Soviet countries have been in a honeymoon period of continuous cooperation and have not yet restarted confrontation. Simon's advance layout at this stage will not arouse too much fear from Eastern and Western countries. The collapsing economy and chaotic current situation in Ukraine also gave the Westeros system enough opportunities to take advantage of.
As for the future, we can only adapt to circumstances for the time being.
After working in the afternoon, Simon hosted a series of important MCSS senior officials and military advisers at his estate in the northern suburbs of Greenwich in the evening. Celia Miller's husband and father-in-law all came specially from Washington.
The party lasted until late at night, and the guests and hosts had a great time.
The next day is September 30, Friday, the last day of September.
After getting up early in the morning, I was called by Sophia to have breakfast with me next door. We were about to fly back to the West Coast this afternoon.
After breakfast, Simon was about to rush to Manhattan. He had an appointment with Raymond Smith of Verizon Telecom in the morning. Ken Dixon received a call and he had to change his schedule temporarily.
Lisa Lockhart, one of the Wei family maids who is responsible for taking care of the Gralf family, accidentally met a young man who claimed to work on Wall Street while dining with friends half a month ago. The man was tall, handsome, and elegant in speech. He's funny and has a well-paying job, so he's the perfect boyfriend.
The two fell in love at first sight and soon began dating.
For the peripheral maids of the Westeros family, there are not many restrictions on their private lives. The only requirement is that they need to report. Of course, once you have a partner, you can only work on the periphery of the Westeros family in the future, and you will never be able to come to the Simons again.
Lisa Lockhart is a very disciplined girl.
Moreover, before joining the job, Lisa received quite strict training on the code of conduct for waitresses, and the pros and cons of various behaviors were explained in detail.
In the contract signed by Lisa Lockhart, there are not many restrictions on her freedom of private life. In fact, as long as her relationship partner is okay, she can get help from the Westeros system in the future.
This is also true. Part of the 'Westerosian' plan is not an intentionally drawn pie.
Therefore, after confirming the relationship with the man named Zach Rubins who worked for a private equity fund on Wall Street, Lisa Lockhart quietly informed the housekeeper Angre Davis.
The intelligence team of the Westeros family immediately conducted a background check on Zach Rubins.
The problem was quickly discovered.
Zach Rubins, who was born in an ordinary middle-class family in Pennsylvania, was admitted to Harvard University, but chose to drop out in the second year, and then engaged in various seemingly inconspicuous careers until he became an investment manager of a private equity fund on Wall Street. .
On the surface, there seemed to be nothing wrong. However, upon further investigation, the Westeros family's intelligence team quickly found out from the sources of Zach Rubins' hometown classmates that this man, who was listed as 29 years old in public information, was actually at least 29 years old. He is 33 years old, and for six years in the 1980s, Zach Rubins has been working abroad.
Although there is no evidence, many acquaintances in Zach Rubins' hometown have rumors that the other party is actually a spy abroad. Of course, insiders basically regarded this matter as a joke, and it is unknown where the rumors originally came from.
Members of the Westeros family's intelligence team don't think so.
There was no rush to alert the enemy.
Not even the person involved, Lisa Lockhart, was notified.
Until the night before yesterday, Simon spent the night at the villa on East 92nd Street for the first time.
Then, Lisa Lockhart, who was given a day off by Angry, the housekeeper, happened to have time to spend time with her boyfriend, and Zach Rubins took a day off specifically to go shopping with his girlfriend.
We also had a candlelight dinner together last night.
Zach Rubins thought that Lisa Lockhart had been fascinated by him during this period, so after the two had sex last night, Rubins showed off to his girlfriend and claimed that he had some problems in his business. And a certain secret in the East 92nd Street villa where Lisa works can just help him get through this difficult time. He hopes that Lisa can install a bug in the apartment and obtain some necessary evidence.
Her boyfriend was talking about these things tenderly on the bed, but Lisa's heart was completely cold.
Lisa Lockhart knew very well that she was actually serving the Westeros family, and she had not forgotten the tragic end of a certain Wei family maid who was exploited by the Hearst family. Lisa had also been taught how to deal with this situation during her training before this job.
Although her heart was broken, Lisa resisted and did not reveal her flaws on the spot. She just took the opportunity to take a shower and quietly dialed the number of the housekeeper Angora Davis.
In fact, after the suspicion was discovered, the relationship between the two has been monitored by the Westeros family intelligence team.
Lisa Lockhart made the call, and within fifteen minutes, someone rushed to Zach Rubins' apartment in Midtown, and Lisa Lockhart opened the door herself. Ignoring the follow-up, the girl returned directly to her residence under the arrangement of the Westeros family intelligence team. While in the car, she told the agent who drove her back that she hoped to forget the incident completely.
Zach Rubins was taken overnight to a remote secret base in the western suburbs of New York.
After interrogation, it was revealed that this was a CIA agent.
Although Zach Rubins could only provide information about his direct online presence, Simon could roughly guess who was behind the scenes.
Regardless of the U.S. presidential election or the biennial midterm elections, the various messy scandals that are constantly exposed in federal political struggles are not leaked by politicians themselves.
Where the source comes from is self-evident.
Simon is now an obvious target.
Originally, because Simon had never tried to create an image of a perfect good man for himself in the media, but was more inclined to be a playboy, trying to attack Simon through male-female affairs would not be effective, except that it would add some extra gossip to the public. In terms of.
The Gralf family is clearly different.
Of course Simon would not understand this.
In fact, if you were purely interested in those three women, the best way would be to place them in an area away from the crowd, rather than in Manhattan where dragons and snakes gather.
Simon didn't do this, certainly not by negligence.
From the very beginning, this was a flaw that Simon revealed on his own initiative. Even if it was really exposed, it would not be fatal but would definitely arouse the strong interest of many people.
Rather than letting some people pursue things like the Woodfield Manor explosion, it is obviously a good choice to take the initiative to release such a flaw that is attractive enough but not fatal to attract the attention of some coveting Westeros families. .
Because of this idea, the Westeros family intelligence team operating around the villa on East 92nd Street is far stronger than many people imagine.
Unexpectedly, fish started to bite the hook so quickly.
Simon didn't care if there were still people waiting and watching in the dark. Since he caught a fish, he would deal with it.
Simon had already issued a very stern warning in the first half of the year.
At that time, a group of followers who had been following and monitoring the Westeros family for a long time were thrown to the remote Tierra del Fuego, the southernmost tip of Latin America. Simon also asked those people to send a message to their master behind the scenes, saying that they would not do anything like this again next time. If you are sent to Tierra del Fuego for such a good treatment, your destination will only be heaven or hell.
Simon has no intention of compromising his commitment.
After listening to Ken Dixon's report on Zach Rubins's confession, Simon ignored this unlucky guy who was destined to disappear from the world, but ordered Ken Dixon to continue to investigate according to Zach Rubins' confession. Digging, including the private equity fund where Zach Rubins works, Simon does not intend to let it go.
Since some people use public weapons for personal use, Simon doesn't believe that they dare to reveal the truth after suffering losses.
The CIA's responsibilities and authority lie outside the United States, and under normal circumstances it is not allowed to interfere in domestic affairs without authorization. Now, using CIA agents to investigate a federal super-rich man without any approval is also a serious violation of law. Once it is exposed, many people will be disappointed and it may even trigger an unpredictable political turmoil.
As for how some people should deal with the aftermath after the official agents suddenly disappeared in the country, this is not something Simon needs to consider.
