Buffett's plan to get all the benefits was decisively rejected by Simon, who was obviously a little entangled.
The investment tycoon is certainly aware of the industry trend of public television networks, coupled with the current high point of the North American stock market, both driving Buffett to sell the Metropolitan ABC Group as soon as possible. Moreover, after silently watching the development of the strange capital beast of the Westeros system for many years, Buffett also wanted to take a ride.
After all, it is impossible to settle a large business worth US$20 billion in just a few words in one meeting.
The conversation didn't even involve a specific offer.
After chatting for about ten minutes, Buffett said he needed to think about it and stood up to leave. Simon was not in a hurry and sent the other person out of the bar himself before returning.
Sleepless nights, the party atmosphere is in full swing.
After turning around, he saw Eva Herzgova and Daniela Pustva pretending to walk by and greet him by chance. Simon casually put his arms around the waists of the two Czech girls: "Go dancing with me."
The two women agreed obediently, and even took the initiative to hold the man's arms from left to right.
As two of Grace's three supermodels who rose rapidly last year, the two women know very well who is driving all this behind the scenes. They are watching Tracy Gauff, who seems to be the most popular with Simon, riding high in both the fashion circle and Hollywood. Juechen, of course they hope to get more resources from men.
The three of them walked to the dance floor. After Simon's instructions, Eva Herzgova left briefly and came to the band to explain according to the man's instructions. The bar soon started to play fast-paced dance music. The men and women at the party who had been quietly paying attention to the movements of a certain man gathered on the dance floor after the music started.
Knowing the sexual orientation of a certain young tycoon, men would not ask for trouble by approaching him. However, a group of charming and beautiful girls had no such scruples. They competed around Simon with the music, and the original Daniela and Eva He was quickly squeezed away, and by the end of the song, Simon was left with a series of lip marks on his cheeks and neck, and a stack of business cards in the pockets of his shirt and trousers.
The girls who can get invitations to Melisandre's party are not unknown, but in front of a certain man, they really have no room for discretion and restraint.
After dancing, he changed to a sofa booth in a corner of the bar to continue having fun. The girl next to Simon was also replaced by Mia Kirshner, who won consecutive Golden Globe and Oscar nominations for Best Actress this year for "Little Women" .
Mia Kirschner just turned 20 this year. She initially replaced Winona Ryder to star in "Little Women". Simon's intention was just to let her get a Golden Globe nomination first. However, the girl's performance was obvious. It exceeded expectations, and coupled with Daenerys Entertainment's strong public relations connections, it easily earned an Oscar nomination.
From the time they met at last year's Sundance Film Festival to now, Simon has never had a close relationship with this petite Russian girl. He just purely likes Mia Kirschner's performance in his memory and thinks she is better than Winona Lai. Virtue needs to be outstanding, and it was only because of the lack of opportunities that it was tepid in the past.
Now Simon gives her a chance and the girl immediately begins to blossom.
Not only that, because of Simon's bias, Hollywood also naturally regards the girl as another of his lovers. Depending on the situation, even the girl herself thinks so.
Everyone left the dance floor and sat down on the sofa booth in the corner of the bar. Mia Kirschner stayed close to Simon, received a stack of wet wipes from the elusive Girl A, and thoughtfully helped Simon wipe his lip marks. Fortunately, she took the seat. Gwyneth Paltrow, who was sitting on the other side of Simon, wanted to ask for a piece of wipes to wipe the man with her, but Mia ignored her.
From another spot, you can just see the bar on the other side of the booth. Grace Spurter and Bryce Levison are sitting on high stools, each with a glass of champagne in their hands. Regardless of their status or age, It was impossible to compete with the group of goblins around Simon. She glanced in a certain direction with obvious sourness. Bryce withdrew her gaze and said to Grace: "It seems that you have no chance tonight."
Grace took a sip of the champagne and looked in Simon's direction again, with a touch of satisfaction in her eyes: "I don't care."
Bryce couldn't stand the look in Grace's eyes, and teased: "Your daughter is already in a relationship with my son. Can you stop acting like a nympho? I'm going to vomit."
Grace was not someone to be trifled with. She glared at Bryce when she heard this: "I'm just a nymphomaniac. You're going to vomit."
After all, the tulips that had been raised in the greenhouse since childhood could not match the momentum of the wild roses that had experienced the wind and rain. Bryce was stared at by Grace and felt inexplicably guilty for a while, and then she became a little angry, like an angry little girl: "I am going to I won’t take you in anymore.”
The two came to Los Angeles this time, and Bryce took the initiative to invite Grace to live in her vacation villa in Palisades.
Grace simply ignored it and turned her eyes to the man again.
Eva Herzgova and Daniela Pusteva walked over from Simon's side, probably wanting some drinks. When they saw Grace, they took the initiative to come over and say hello.
Grace just nodded towards the two women, and Bryce said to the two women with some dissatisfaction: "It's really useless. You were pushed to the side so easily. No wonder you are not as popular with him as Qu Si."
The two Czech girls knew that Bryce was Grace's good friend and did not dare to refute. They had just been squeezed away from Simon by a group of goblins. After all, it was the ecological suppression in the circle. Movie stars, singers and models were among several professions. Today, models are the least looked up to. Even if they are supermodels, they are still models, so naturally they have no confidence.
After the two women returned to Simon's side with a few glasses of wine in their hands, Bryce seemed to have discovered something again and asked Grace, "Where's Tracy Gauff? Why didn't she come over tonight?"
Grace said: "She was too tired at Fashion Week. I arranged for her to rest in New York and not run around."
Bryce blinked a few times and smiled knowingly: "You are jealous and don't want her to always appear in front of Simon."
When Bryce said this, she was originally waiting for Grace to refute and planned to make a good argument, but without thinking, Grace nodded directly: "Yes."
The fist landed in the air. Bryce was a little bored and threatened: "I'll tell Simon later."
Grace withdrew her gaze and stared at Bryce, glancing up and down, and said coldly: "If you dare to speak ill of me in front of Simon, I will strangle you to death."
Bryce felt a chill run down her spine, inexplicably feeling that the woman in front of her, who she thought had lost her mind, would really do this. She hid her guilt and raised her chin pretending to be indifferent: "Come on, pinch me. "
Grace withdrew her gaze, raised her glass and sipped the champagne, and said, "Your neck is very beautiful, very thin, very white, and slender. It's the kind that Simon likes very much." Bryce heard her suddenly praise her again. She picked herself up and was about to show a proud expression when Grace added faintly: "But it's easy to cut it off."
Bryce thought hard and subconsciously threatened: "If you say that again, I will let my son bully your daughter."
As expected, Grace stopped talking.
However, Bryce was still a little frustrated and realized that Grace was not afraid that she would let her son bully her daughter, but that her wife didn't seem to care.
Of course it's not that Grace doesn't care;
Because of her career, she is a woman who is very good at reading people, and Bryce has a very strong mother. Therefore, his son, who seems to be excellent and tall and strong and is the captain of the school rugby team, has been suppressed by his mother for a long time. In fact, she is very cowardly and lacks independent opinions. To a large extent, like her mother, she is a flower that has been raised in a greenhouse since she was a child.
And my daughter, of course, looks like me.
Many facts have proven that, even if they are not intentional, children's personalities will be most influenced by their parents over a long period of time, especially when teenagers have the strongest imitation ability.
Once a personality is formed, it is hard to change.
Grace has always been confident that her daughter, who is as smart as herself, will not suffer any harm from getting along with the Bryce boys.
The two occasionally quarreled and chatted, and from time to time they had to reject one or two ignorant young men who came to chat with them. I thought that some guy would choose one or two girls to leave the party together. They would definitely be out of luck tonight. However, about half of them Hours later, when she noticed that Simon seemed to be leaving alone, Bryce immediately pulled Grace and quietly chased her out.
Just happened to catch up next to the elevator.
Simon took Girl A with him and two bodyguards.
Seeing the two women, Simon greeted with a smile: "You want to leave too?"
Bryce rolled her eyes at the man, but started to follow the procedure: "Simon, can you take us home?"
Simon nodded and asked again: "Where do you live?"
Bryce came to Simon and pushed Girl A away. She did not rush to hold the man's arm, but said: "I have a villa in Palisades," and gestured to stand quietly. Grace on the other side of Simon: "Gray also lives with me. It's more comfortable than a hotel."
Simon smiled and said: "It just happened to be on the way."
The elevator door opened at this time, and everyone entered the elevator together. The two bodyguards stood silently in the corner near the door, pretending to be wooden, leaving the spacious space behind for the boss and the others.
When the elevator started to descend, Bryce flirted with the man again: "Are you just on the way?"
Simon nodded: "Yeah, I'm going home tonight."
Before coming out, Janet told Simon that there was no need to go back tonight, and they wanted to talk all night. However, a woman's words must be listened to in reverse, not to mention that there are three women at home, and they are all mothers of their own children. Even if they go back, they will be looked down upon, and they have to go back.
There are two identical black Bentleys in the underground parking lot. When Simon travels now, he will bring at least a group of four bodyguards with him. One car is definitely not enough.
Girl A silently went to the next car. Grace and Bryce squeezed into the back seat of the previous Bentley with Simon, pulled down the fender, and when the car drove onto Sunset Boulevard, Bryce began to feel restless. Simon There was no rejection either.
However, even if Bryce took the initiative to explain that the Palisades villa was the private property left to her by her parents, not the property of the Levison family, and hoped that Simon could stay, in the end she would still have to pass by.
Watching the two women get out of the car and enter the villa, Simon continued to rush back to the Dume Point Manor.
When I got home, it was already 11:30.
I took a shower quietly, changed out of clothes that smelled of other women's perfume, and asked the night maids. The three women had already rested separately. They didn't really have a long conversation, but they were in their own three bedrooms.
Go to Sophia's room first.
Despite the jet lag, Sofia, who had just arrived from Europe during the day, had already fallen asleep. However, looking at the TV that was on, it was obvious that she had tried to wait for Simon, but unfortunately she could not overcome the sleepiness instinct of pregnant women.
Quietly squatting down at the head of the bed, she leaned over and kissed the woman on the cheek. Sofia opened her eyes like Sleeping Beauty, smiled at Simon, and took the man's hand and pressed it on her bulging belly: "Just now Green and Sinuo Still fighting.”
Simon felt the warmth in his palm silently and asked with a smile: "Who won?"
Sophia said: "It must be Green. Our son will definitely be as powerful as you in the future."
Simon said: "It seems that only daughters are like fathers."
"No, I hope Sinuo is like Sylvia. Anyway, she has her father and brothers to protect her, so of course it's better to be smarter. Speaking of which, Sylvia is so smart, it's amazing. She may become another Simon in the future. ·Where’s Westeros?”
"When you say that, I feel threatened."
"Oh, you don't. You are an elitist at heart. You don't like mediocre people. You definitely want your children to be as outstanding as possible. If they are better than you, you will be happier."
“It turns out that I am such a person.”
Sophia nodded: "Yes, what an obvious thing."
Simon smiled.
I really haven't thought about this before, but now that I think about it, I think it's probably a fan of the authorities.
After chatting like this for a while, Sofia took the initiative to push Simon to leave. He shouldn't stay here tonight.
After saying good night to the woman, watching her go to sleep, and helping to turn off the TV, Simon left Sofia's bedroom and turned to the female assistant.
Jennifer is not asleep yet.
When I first entered the door, there was the sound of reading softly in the room. I looked at the big bed and found that Seattle was there too. The little girl was quietly lying next to her mother with a pair of beautiful eyes open, listening to the female assistant reading a book that was completely inappropriate. "A Brief History of Time" is a book for infants, toddlers and even teenagers.
Seeing Simon enter the door, the female assistant did not stop reading. She patiently read a chapter before putting down the book and said softly to her daughter: "Okay, we can only go here tonight."
Seattle nodded obediently, and did not forget to say to Simon in a childish voice: "Good night, Dad."
"Good night, baby," Simon kissed the little guy's delicate face, pointed to the book Jennifer put down, and asked with a smile, "Do you understand?"
The female assistant shook her head: "I don't really understand. This was picked by Syl personally."
It was certainly impossible for my daughter to fall asleep immediately.
Simon was curious and looked at the little man who was less than one and a half years old in the woman's arms: "Baby, what is this book about?"
Seattle blinked and said, "The universe."
"Oh," Simon nodded and asked, "How do you feel?"
Seattle seemed to think for a moment, and then said: "Beautiful."
Simon and the female assistant looked at each other.
All right.
Anyone who can use 'Beautiful' to describe an obscure popular science book is definitely not an ordinary person.
Jennifer just smiled softly and reached out to push Simon: "Sil and I are going to bed, you go to Jenny's side."
Simon nodded, said good night to mother and daughter again, and left the bedroom without forgetting to see the other two sons who were already fast asleep. He really wanted to wake up the two silly boys and read a section of "A Brief History of Time". After asking about my feelings, I gave up and came to the round master bedroom of Shell Villa.
Janet was already fast asleep.
Feeling Simon getting on the bed, Janet curled up like a kitten, arched and arched in the man's arms, found a comfortable position, and calmed down again. Simon kissed the woman's face and said good night, until Janet subconsciously opened her mouth and took a bite on his shoulder, then fell asleep with a smile.
