Everyone chatted for a while, and Simon realized the purpose of the Hilton couple attending this party tonight.
Cathy Hilton hopes to join "Wives of New York".
If you want to participate in this popular reality show on the USA cable network owned by Daenerys Entertainment, contacting Simon directly is undoubtedly the most convenient way.
Speaking of the Hilton family, because of the huge reputation of the Hilton Hotel, the outside world will always instinctively think that they should be in the same order of magnitude as famous old money families such as Hearst and Newhouse.
However, Lao Qian may be right, but the fundamentals are much different.
Before the conflict with the Westeros system, even if the family was split into many parts due to the large number of children in the family, the assets of several core members of the Hearst family were considered wealthy, and the Hilton family was the only one currently holding equity in the Hilton Hotel Barron Hilton, the second generation head of the Hilton family, has a personal net worth of only about US$200 million, and has not even made the Forbes 400 list of the richest Americans.
Barron Hilton also has many children, a total of eight children. This hotel industry tycoon who has been focusing on his career for many years is not the kind of person to let his children go. Therefore, as the sixth son of Barron Hilton, in addition to regularly receiving a living allowance from the family trust and a glorious last name, Richard Hilton has no choice but to be self-reliant if he wants to further enjoy the upper class life.
In the past, Kris Jenner was known as the 'godmother' of the Kardashian family. In fact, many of this woman's operating techniques were imitated by Cathy Hilton earlier, even to create topics , deliberately released some kind of videotape of his daughter.
The Paris Hilton tape incident was purely accidental.
However, Paris’s mother, Cathy Hilton, seized this opportunity very well and turned her daughter into a phenomenal IT Girl. Taking advantage of this fame, Paris Hilton has accumulated hundreds of millions of assets almost from scratch by establishing fashion brands, publishing books, and participating in TV shows.
After the success of the Kardashian family, people always joked about Paris Hilton being photographed to death on the beach by a former follower of hers. However, the reality is that through many personal brands under her name, Paris Hilton is still thriving. Since then, his personal net worth has been higher than that of most members of the Kardashian family. Even if he later fails to inherit his grandfather's billions of dollars in inheritance, he can still easily maintain his luxurious life.
All of this is obviously not something that a materialistic girl who only knows how to hang out at nightclubs and parties can do. Most of this is due to Kathy Hilton.
Let’s talk about Kathy Hilton.
The woman whose original surname was Richards and her two other sisters, Kim Richards and Kyle Richards, were both child stars and later became Manhattan socialites, and all three sisters successfully married into rich families, at least once. She married into a wealthy family, so she can see her scheming.
After marrying Richard Hilton, Cathy Hilton did not concentrate on being a housewife. Instead, she used the Hilton name to open her own design firm, mainly engaged in interior design.
Now, the continued popularity of "Wives of New York" has obviously made the other party interested.
Many housewives who have participated in "Wives of New York" have achieved both fame and fortune in recent years. Some media in Manhattan have even reported that the most popular Jenners on the show relied on the fame brought by "Wives of New York" and only participated in it. The appearance fee for some promotional activities is as high as 300,000 US dollars, and others such as brand endorsements, book publishing, starting a company, etc., combined, the couple's annual income easily exceeds 10 million.
This kind of fame and income has made many Manhattan housewives who once maintained their own identity eager to make a move. "Wives of New York" cannot change people at will, so it has also spawned other similar reality shows, but their popularity cannot match "Honey Wives of New York" comparison.
Since its launch in 1991, "Wives of New York" is now in its fourth season, and it does need some fresh blood.
What's more, the surname 'Hilton' is definitely very eye-catching.
Therefore, sensing the other party's thoughts, Simon simply took the initiative and said, "Cathy, are you interested in participating in a reality TV show?"
When Simon spoke, Cathy Hilton's eyes visibly brightened, but the Jenners next to her looked at each other subconsciously. In the conversation just now, they had noticed the intentions of the Hiltons, and Kris Jenner finally understood. Why did Cathy Hilton suddenly appear in her social circle for a while
At this stage of "Housewives of New York", Kris Jenner is undoubtedly the most successful among the housewives.
However, if Cathy Hilton is brought in, things may go very wrong. The surname "Hilton" is really too loud and has the inherent ability to attract the audience's attention. The show has entered its fourth season. Even though this reality show has formed a very stable audience, people always pursue freshness. It is difficult to say whether their reputation will be suppressed by Cathy Hilton.
If she could, Kris Jenner would stop at nothing to keep Kathy Hilton out of Housewives of New York.
However, when Simon Westeros took the initiative to invite him, things became very difficult.
Thinking back to the few experiences he had in the past, it was obvious that this was a young man who was strong to the core.
Of course, Cathy Hilton knew that Simon Westeros took the initiative to send out an invitation. It was a rare opportunity. She was just a little reserved for two seconds and said quickly: "Simon, you mean, "Wives of New York"?"
Simon nodded: "Yes."
"Sure, I, um, I'd love to try it, I just don't know if I can do it well."
"Haven't you ever been an actor? This is much simpler than being an actor," Simon said, and made a decision directly: "In this way, next spring, you can try to guest star in a few episodes, and then decide whether to join permanently in the fifth season. .”
It's almost the winter break for TV series.
After the first half of Season 4 of "Wives of New York" recently wrapped, the second half won't premiere until February next year.
Different from the initial one-time production of an entire season, after gradually becoming standardized, most of Daenerys Entertainment's reality shows began to adopt the traditional production-and-broadcast strategy. In addition to adjusting the plot in a timely manner based on audience feedback, this can maximize Shorten the capital operation cycle.
It's easy to temporarily add a new guest character.
Westeros had already said this, and Cathy Hilton agreed directly without being polite.
Simon turned around to find his own shadow, and gave an instruction to Girl A to say hello to Robert Iger. Finally, he chatted for a few words with the Hiltons and then turned away.
After a certain young tycoon left, a clear gap suddenly appeared between the Hiltons and the Jenners, who were originally very harmonious. Although they were still talking and laughing, they were obviously no longer as warm as before.
After socializing until about ten o'clock, Simon left the party with Yasmin and Nadja and returned to the apartment on Fifth Avenue.
When I left Gramercy Hotel last night, I felt that the temperature had dropped a lot and a cold wind was blowing.
When I woke up, the world was completely white.
The first snow of the year fell in New York City in the early hours of last night, and it was so fierce. The heavy snow showed no intention of stopping during the day, and the entire Manhattan was covered by wind and snow.
I originally planned to set off back to Los Angeles in the morning.
Depending on the situation, I can only give up.
The two Jennys went to Australia after the two little guys' birthdays a few days ago. The old man missed his grandson.
In fact, Simon also wants to live in Australia for a while.
Unfortunately, times do not allow it.
Even if he reached an agreement with several big guys in Washington at the White House yesterday afternoon, Simon will still not leave the United States easily in the short term, just in case. Although the communication methods of this era can eliminate geographical barriers, it will always look different whether Simon is personally in the United States.
After breakfast, Yasmin and Nadja rushed to work.
After last night’s big show, there’s still a lot to do in the next few days.
Simon didn't leave his Fifth Avenue apartment and worked directly from home.
The most important thing is the recent trend of public opinion.
Under the operation of the Westeros system media public relations team, the news in the North American mainstream media today is naturally the third Victoria's Secret show last night. In order to make the topic more popular, some disputes were deliberately provoked and teased again. Conservatives attacked the Victoria's Secret show, with both sides going back and forth.
News of the meeting with the president and senior congressional officials yesterday afternoon also appeared in many important newspaper pages.
The media's tone is quite consistent: to discuss some matters related to the new technology industry.
It seems like the midterm elections are quickly becoming a thing of the past.
It is inevitable that some newspapers will make similar speculations. However, within the scope of the influence of the Westeros system, Simon's interference in the mid-term elections is basically avoided.
Ygriet Portal also took advantage of this opportunity to throw out the blockbuster 'IPO'.
It also hinted that the Westeros system will reach a settlement with the federal Department of Justice in antitrust investigations in the near future.
Because of this series of good news, the Nasdaq technology stock sector rose sharply across the board at the opening of the morning, directly breaking through the 1,800-point mark.
Simon's personal net worth increased by billions in just a few hours.
After a busy morning, I had a two-hour video conference with several senior executives of Yigrit in the afternoon. Around four o'clock, Simon left Manhattan and rushed to Greenwich, intending to discuss some matters with Joseph Schlapp before dinner.
The snow was still falling heavily, so we couldn’t use a helicopter, so we had to take a car.
On the way, I called the Australian side.
With a time difference of 15 hours, it was already the morning of November 14th in Australia. Unlike the heavy snowfall in New York, it was midsummer in the Southern Hemisphere.
On the phone, Janet was taking a group of little ones to play in her own territory in Tasmania. She also asked Simon to listen to the sound of an old man on the grass teaching Melbourne how to ride horses. This made Simon a little worried. A 76-year-old man, the next one, For a little one who is only 4 years old, how about riding a horse or playing golf on a battery car
Thinking of it, I quickly warned that it was okay to ride a horse, and there must be many people around to protect me, but hunting was definitely not allowed.
Janet was laughing and joking on the phone, looking arrogant as she thanked you for reminding me.
The road was slippery in the snow and it was impossible to drive too fast. It took more than an hour to get from Manhattan to Greenwich, and we also talked on the phone for more than an hour. Everyone chatted a few words, even Nick Jr. didn't stop. After learning that this place in New York was It was snowing heavily, and Janet felt wonderful, but she was not looking forward to it at all.
Women are afraid of cold.
Finally, he mentioned that he planned to return to North America two days before Thanksgiving, and teased Simon that he could fool around without worries.
However, the old man and Jennifer did not forget to ask about the mid-term elections on the phone.
Of course Simon knew that Janet was joking and joking, and as the mistress of the Westeros family, she did no less than him in private.
I arrived at the manor in the northern suburbs of Greenwich and hung up the phone. It was already a quarter past five.
In the northern hemisphere in November, it is usually already evening at this time, but because of the heavy snow, the sky and the earth are still white.
Sophia, who came to North America yesterday to spend the weekend with her children, has already helped Simon pack up the manor and started preparing dinner.
Joseph Schlapp arrived about the same time.
Simon and Schlapp talked in the study for more than an hour before sending each other off. Dinner was ready. Due to the events in the first half of the year, the Feisi family who moved next door came to have dinner together. It was inevitable that there was a strange atmosphere, and even more More is still warm. At the dinner table, she asked about Gemma's schoolwork, which aroused the girl's anger. She made a mistake and said that luckily Simon was just her stepfather, which made Sofia blush brightly and hit her daughter hard on the forehead with a spoon.
After dinner, Sophia's parents took their two children back to the residence next door, and the woman naturally stayed.
Like a housewife, she personally packed up the housework, went to a living room with a fireplace in the villa, turned off the ceiling light, leaving only a dim yellow wall lamp and the firelight in the fireplace, and hugged the sofa with the little man. The surroundings were dark, and there was an occasional sound of wind outside, but the atmosphere was very charming.
Simon put down the book he was reading, put his arm around the woman's waist, and listened to her talk about the progress of the integration of Versace, Bulgari and Vacheron Constantin, and also talked about some recent developments of the 'Ndrangheta.
Simon is also not shy about talking about the midterm elections and his caution and worries.
Before I knew it, it was already late at night.
He caressed the woman's belly with his hand and asked, "Isn't there any movement yet?"
In the first moment of emotion, Sofia wanted to have another child, a child between her and Simon. For this reason, she talked to Janet and got approval. However, over the past few months, Huan had been pregnant many times, but she had never been able to get pregnant.
Holding down the man's mischievous hand, Sophia said: "Maybe it's because of my age, but this is not bad. We already have Danny and Gemma, so I shouldn't be too greedy."
Simon kissed the woman on the lips and smiled: "How about we try again, tonight will be good. By the way, if you get pregnant, the name is ready."
Sofia and Simon kissed, her cheek pressed against the man's chin and rubbed, she smiled and said softly: "Greenwich?"
"Isn't this a bad name?"
"It's weird, and what if it's a girl?"
"Isn't Syl a girl?"
"Seattle sounds great as a girl's name, but Greenwich sounds like a boy's name."
"Then what did you call it?"
Sofia thought for a moment and said, "It's snowing. If it's a girl, she'll call it 'Snow'. How about Snow·Westeros?"
Snow Westeros.
very nice.
Simon nodded: "Okay."
Sophia moved around and was accidentally struck by a book. She picked it up and took a look at it. It was a Chinese book that the little man had been reading after dinner. She had not paid attention to it just now. Then she asked curiously: "What is this?"
""Shang Jun Shu"."
"What are you talking about?"
"I can't tell you this."
"Why?"
"This is an imperial book. Well, it is a book that was only suitable for emperors to read in ancient times."
"Oh, it suits you very well, but so what if I read it? I'm just a woman."
"It's more troublesome for women to learn bad things," Simon said with a smile: "After reading this book, I recently discovered that many of my previous ideas were very immature, and I plan to improve them."
A few days ago, I asked Girl A to find this book on an impromptu basis.
Just 26 articles.
Simon has turned over it several times.
As for thoughts.
Simon personally feels that the entire book is elaborating on a somewhat cold philosophy of governing the country: saints are unkind and treat the people as stupid dogs.
Regarding the creation of the Westeros system, Simon has been adjusting strategies over the years.
At first, Simon had the idea of creating a very 'universal' group, where everyone would be given the best treatment, thinking that this would gain loyalty and cohesion.
Now.
The more I think about it, the more childish it becomes.
Especially after reading this book.
It is also very foolish to be a ruler who only knows how to give favors.
However, Simon is not the kind of person who believes everything in his book.
Qin Xiaogong used Shang Yang's ideas to create an unparalleled powerful Qin State, but he died two years after Qin Shihuang unified the six kingdoms. To a large extent, this is because too much strength is easy to break.
Governing a big country is like cooking small dishes.
This book has brought a lot of inspiration to Simon. However, to make the Westeros system truly remain strong for a longer period of time, Simon may need to continue to explore for most of his life.
Sophia was just curious.
The man said that this book was not suitable for her to read, so he gave up the idea of exploring it, let alone the idea of reading it secretly in private.
It’s not like I didn’t have some thoughts before.
However, after being able to be by his side for so many years, Sophia gradually discovered that fighting is the best way to fight without fighting.
Life is very good now. Little men don't like greedy women, and they have given too much to the people around them without knowing it. If they are greedy anymore, they are stupid.
You will only lose more.
Without asking any more questions, he put the book aside and leaned towards the man.
