Chapter 405

Accompanied by a variety of tests, inform relatives and friends, arrange diet and rest during pregnancy I was busy from Tuesday to Friday, and I stayed at home on Saturday and Sunday.

The news was so loud that the media inevitably heard the news.

It was officially announced at the igritte portal that the first child of the westrow family was about to be born.

So it was a blessing from all sides.

The discussion in the media was also very lively.

Some people analyze the differences between boys and girls of Simon westrow's first heir, some people discuss how much wealth the child may inherit in the future, some people guess what kind of name the westrow couple will give the child, and so on.

Anthony Johnston flew to Los Angeles on Friday with his family from Melbourne to visit his newly pregnant sister on behalf of the family.

After confirming that she was 100% pregnant, Janet quietly donated $10 million to several children's charities, including the United Nations Children's fund, in the name of the Simon & Janet westero foundation. In Janet's words, it's a blessing for the little guy in her stomach, hoping that her child will be healthy and safe in the future.

Westerners regard charity as one of their social obligations, and some of them are utilitarian in order to gain the corresponding social reputation. There is no idea that "a good family must have Yuqing.".

Simon thinks that Janet's idea is probably due to her persistence in learning Chinese in recent years. Now women's Chinese level has reached the level that they can directly read the traditional version of a dream of Red Mansions.

He was originally an oriental, so Simon would not disagree with Janet.

Because of her successful pregnancy, Janet's 31st birthday, which she had always wanted to forget, was also celebrated. However, they only invited some close relatives and friends to enjoy a birthday dinner at domay point manor, which was far less lively than Simon's birthday party last month.

After the birthday dinner, Antony's family, who had lived in Los Angeles for a week, returned to Australia, and Simon finally began to work again.

Janet started taking maternity leave.

No more work.

I have to take maternity leave after only three weeks of pregnancy

Pregnant women are the biggest.

Who dares to object?

Fortunately, Janet always adheres to a kind of mentality of being superior and hardworking. Most of the time, she only grasps one general direction in the operation of cersei capital, and most of the work is confidently handed over to the heads of the three subsidiaries. Therefore, the departure of women will not have a great impact on the operation of cersei capital.

Of course, Janet has to take early maternity leave, but Simon can't really let cersei capital go completely.

Cersei capital, cersei fund management, Apollo management and black rock asset management, now manages more than $21 billion. Among them, the scale of the first two is about US $3 billion, while the capital scale of Heiyan asset management company, which mainly deals in low-risk stocks and bonds and fixed income investment, has reached US $15 billion.

Although the heads of the three subsidiaries have been carefully selected and all of them have the top investment talents of Wall Street, no one can guarantee that once they have excessive power and lack strict supervision, these professional managers will do anything extraordinary.

There are numerous cases of Wall Street fund managers who make their own decisions and invest without authorization and bring huge losses to companies.

In Simon's memory, Salomon Brothers, which was not as good as Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley in this era, probably collapsed later this year because of the exposure of the scandal of fund managers' illegal bond bidding, and finally disappeared into the ranks of Wall Street investment banking giants a few years later.

Janet used to work in cersei capital, half of which was to control the direction, and the other half was financial supervision.

After Janet's vacation, cersei capital quickly reorganized and established an investment committee. Simon, James Leibold and the three heads of the three subsidiaries joined as members of the investment committee.

Simon is in charge of the overall situation, while James is in charge of financial supervision.

Cersei capital's next investment above the corresponding scale can only be implemented after the approval of the five member group of the investment committee. Of course, as cersei's controlling shareholder, Simon still has one vote veto.

However, Simon's inner decision is not to interfere with cersei capital's management as much as possible.

Unless it is a project doomed to failure in memory, he will not deliberately obstruct the choice of the fund managers of the three subsidiaries. A qualified boss should be able to tolerate the failure of his subordinates. The main purpose of setting up the investment committee is to prevent the three subsidiaries from becoming runaway after Janet let go.

In fact, Janet has not been so keen on the operation of cersei capital. Since she is pregnant with a child, she will definitely focus more on the little guy in the future. As long as the operation of the investment committee is effective, this system can be maintained in the future.

This year's Easter is March 31, and the Easter schedule will open on March 22.Denise entertainment has two major films this Easter: Madonna's last year's ambitious blonde concert documentary "truth and courage" and "cornfield Kid 3".

If you include universal pictures, there's another film, crazy night, produced by John Hughes.

Crazy night tells the story of a supermarket clerk and a rich woman who ran away from home and met two thieves while they were on a night watch in a supermarket. There are many similarities between the story setting and "home by a kid", but this is not the work of "home by a kid". The film was also shot last year, and the plot is similar, just because of John Hughes' consistent mass production style.

Simon doesn't expect much from the box office of this film that he hasn't heard of. On the contrary, the heroine of the film is still attractive. It's Jennifer Connery from "the past of America". This 21-year-old actress is at the peak of her appearance.

In late March, it is not far away from the summer vacation.

Simon began to focus more on a series of films related to danielis entertainment these days.

The following summer program, the four movies in the core program from June to July, "Batman: The Dark Knight", "Terminator 2", "the end of the world" and "few good people", are all foreign cooperation films, which are released by Warner, fox, Warner and MGM respectively.

Apart from the four mainstream commercial films, danelis entertainment released only three niche films by gaomen.

Because it is expected to take over MCA this year, this is actually Simon's deliberate arrangement.

Denise Entertainment's distribution team will complete the takeover and integration of universal pictures through this summer release.

However, to Simon's disappointment, the four summer films of Universal Pictures, temper, jungle fever, problem boy 2 and family of four, obviously do not have the potential to sell well.

According to the list of Universal Pictures in 1991, the box office of "fear corner" and "fried green tomato" at the end of the year is still good. However, in my memory, the box office of these two films in North America is still not more than 100 million. In other words, universal pictures should not have a movie with a box office exceeding 100 million this year.

The ups and downs of Hollywood studios can be seen from now on.

So it also sets off the edge of Denise entertainment in Hollywood in recent years.

In order to avoid or reduce the losses of Universal Pictures' film business in 1991 as much as possible, Denise entertainment cut down the production and distribution plans of seven films in a row during this period. However, because most of the projects are already in the substantive production stage, many of them have been completed, and the number of films left is still 16.

On danielis entertainment side, the number of films with three brands that will be released in 1991 has also reached 23.

Adding the two together, the new Denise entertainment will launch a total of 39 films in 1991.

Fortunately, Simon had planned ahead of time.

Among the 23 films of danielis entertainment, 11 of them are from gaomen film industry. In recent years, although minority independent films and art films have repeatedly created box office miracles, the overall pattern is still limited, so it will not cause too much impact on the mainstream commercial film system.

After the re planning, six of Universal's 16 films also belong to gaomen.

All in all, the number of films released by gaomen in 1991 will reach 17, all of which are independent and artistic.

In addition, the number of films distributed by new world film industry is 11, which are mainly horror, vulgar and funny.

The last mainstream commercial films are also 11, including Batman: the dark knight and other films with foreign cooperation, as well as toy story and other films released by Denise pictures.

The three distinct distribution systems will become the main structure of danielis Entertainment's film business in the future.

Each distribution system and the scale of produced films will be equivalent to that of a mainstream studio.

Although Denise entertainment still maintains an open attitude towards foreign cooperation, the restructuring of its film business is obviously aggressive.

After all, the number of films released by traditional big studios is usually only about ten or twenty, rarely more than 30. After the restructuring of danilisi's entertainment film business, the annual film distribution scale will reach as many as 40. With the basically fixed film market capacity in North America, this will naturally squeeze the living space of other Hollywood studios.

Simon is not constrained by the pressure from other Hollywood studios, who have given plenty of relief in the past few years. Next, Simon plans to personally promote the further integration of big Hollywood studios, reducing the number of Hollywood media giants to five or less in advance.

In this process, some traditional big studios will be swallowed up and disappeared. With the lifting of the restrictions on horizontal integration in the media field, the media giants will get more monopoly resources. It's going to be more difficult for the latecomers to be in Hollywood.Domay point manor.

Today is March 22nd, Friday. Unconsciously, another week has passed.

After Janet got pregnant, Simon would leave work at 5 o'clock on time these days.

As soon as he entered the shell villa, Simon saw that the hall was full of children's products, baby carriages, milk powder, plush toys, Lego building blocks, piles of clothes, piles of small shoes It's like a flea market for children's products.

Walking through the flea market, Simon finds a woman with a remote control operating a toy truck on the sofa beside the glass curtain wall.

A look of high spirits.

The toy truck clattered two times at Simon's feet, and a woman's dumb voice sounded: "dudududu, dad is in the way of the car, Dad, get out of the way."

Simon couldn't laugh or cry. He walked over to the hip of the woman who was lying on the sofa with only one head sticking out. "There's a mine at home when I buy so many things."

Janet naturally can't understand the stem in Simon's words, but it doesn't prevent her from responding boldly: "yes."

Simon was stunned.

All right.

There is a real mine in this family.

I went around the sofa, sat down, picked up the woman, put her on my lap, grabbed the remote control in her hand, and the toy truck ran on the smooth ground again.

Yeah.

It was fun.

Janet saw Simon quickly "get involved" and angrily reached for the remote control: "this is for the baby."

Simon dodged: "don't rob. The baby has to wait for several years. Let the baby's father play for a while."

Janet put her head on Simon's leg, and her little paw came out to snatch again. In vain, she had to give up, but she laughed happily.

After laughing for a while, Jennifer stroked her stomach and asked, "Simon, what's the name of our little guy?"

Simon said, "what do you think?"

"I want you to get up."

"I'm not very good at names."

"Yeah, Seattle or something," Janet suddenly laughed again, photographed Simon and said, "my child doesn't have such a strange name."

Simon also showed a smile, said: "how can Jennie tell you this?"

"Hum hum."

Janet didn't explain, just grunted.

Simon thought about it and said, "if it's a boy, call it Melbourne. For girls, well, it's also called Melbourne. "

Janet clenched her fist and smashed it. "I'll let you Melbourne, I'll let you Melbourne."

Simon didn't dodge either. He said with a smile, "you made me do it. I think it's a good name. Melbourne, Melbourne westero."

Janet hammered Simon again: "my child's name is not Melbourne, not Seattle."

Simon is easy to say: "then you can do it yourself."

Janet twisted her soft body and rolled around on the sofa. She was still very distressed. After a moment, she finally "compromised" and said, "for boys, it's Melbourne. For girls, it's Seattle."

Simon helpless: "don't rob things with Jennie?"

Although the female assistant was very dissatisfied with Simon's name given in advance, it is conceivable that if she was robbed by Janet, it would be lively.

"I don't care. She's a better baby than my husband."

"Jennie, if your husband has a baby, I think you might secretly kill me in the middle of the night."

"No way." Janet shook her head and said, "there's no need to wait until midnight, and I'll kill you both."

"Well, really?"

"Fake," Janet said, reaching over and touching Simon's face, "I can't bear it."

Simon was relieved. "That's good."

"But I won't let you go either."

"Well?"

"Think for yourself."

"Don't think about it. You're pregnant anyway," Simon said, putting down the remote control and kissing the woman on the lips. "So, as long as Melbourne is OK?"

"It's awful."

"Just get used to it. Now who dares to say westero is ugly?"

"Westero is not bad at all."

"In this way, you read Melbourne westero a hundred times in your mind every day and get used to it in a week. The power of habit is powerful."

"I still think Seattle westero is better."

"It's just because you've read it many times in your heart."
