Chapter 895

Simon returned to Los Angeles from San Francisco in the evening of February 9.

Back home, Katherine Bigelow, who had not seen her for a while, came to visit her. She was drinking coffee and chatting with Janet by the glass curtain wall of shell villa at sunset.

Catherine was a little embarrassed to see Simon.

Mainly because of the failure of "Detroit", the film has long been off the shelf, and finally the box office in North America barely exceeded $10 million, and it won nothing in the awards.

Simon, of course, has nothing to do with it. He hugs Katherine, turns to the sofa where Janet is sitting next to him, and leans down on Janet's thigh, kicking off her shoes on the other side.

Catherine looked at the scene with a smile on her face. A little man would be so casual if he didn't treat her as an outsider, so she asked, "is it too busy and tired?"

Simon just, um.

I'm not tired, mainly because I'm tired these days.

Janet affectionately held Simon's head on her lap, a hand along the man's hair, smiling and silent to Catherine with her mouth: "overindulgence."

Katherine just gave Janet a slight look.

There's no way to answer that.

Simon felt something. He closed his eyes and touched Janet. He held a small hand in the palm of her hand and suddenly tightened it. In the woman's whisper, he asked, "what bad words do you say about me?"

Simon didn't make any effort, but was startled. Janet didn't take her little hand away from the man's palm. She dragged a big hand to her mouth and took a bite. Instead, she asked, "Kate and I are going to the exhibition center tomorrow morning. Pop, do you want to go with us?"

"No

"Together, the charity exhibition can do good things."

"Can we do bad things?"

"Yes, tomorrow you'll go and deliberately destroy some famous paintings, and then you'll make the headlines. Simon westero is insane again, tut, and then I can become the guardian of the Westeros' 700 billion, um, 900 billion dollar fortune."

"And then?"

"Send you back to Watsonville psychiatric hospital."

"It's like the plot of a movie," Simon said with a smile

"Well?"

"Two years ago, James Spade starred in" snake and scorpion lover ", the hero was framed by an evil wife who tried to seize his property and sent to a mental hospital. Guess how he turned over?"

Janet blinked. "How did it turn over?"

Katherine beside also showed a curious expression.

Simon still closed his eyes to rest, just raised his hand to hold Janet's white neck, tried his hand, and then took it back.

Janet understood, "it's amazing."

Catherine was confused: "what?"

Janet explained to Catherine, "it's not against the law to kill people with mental illness."

Katherine reacted this time and looked at them. Even though she understood that they were only joking, one wanted to send the other to a mental hospital, and the other wanted to kill the other. The one who was killed in the setting was quite excited. It seems that I In a word, the two in front of her are crazy in their bones. She can't hold this kind of relationship.

We continue to talk, twilight is coming.

Catherine was invited to stay for dinner, and was assigned to take care of a little guy. Although she was bitten by little Nick, who had not given up the habit of grinding her teeth, she somehow envied the atmosphere of the Westeros.

I just won't stay after dinner.

The time to see Catherine off was more than eight o'clock in the evening. The family gathered in a living room on the east side of shell villa. Simon and two jennies didn't have time to say something private until the five little guys fell asleep one after another.

It's mainly recent events.

Simon decided to give up the original plan to continue for one year, in fact, far less understated than on the surface.

Just like the assassination two years ago, which caused a series of follow-up disturbances, the reason is that the Woodfield family bet too much money on short technology stocks, resulting in misjudgment. In order to recover the losses, they had to take the lead and wanted to cause the market shock by assassinating Simon.

The situation is much worse now than it was two years ago.

Because of the bullish view on technology stocks, countless people flocked to the Nasdaq market, or directly bought a large number of stocks, or spared no effort to establish a bull market. The interests of many people were tied to the rising trend of NASDAQ. In this case, Simon wanted to go against the trend and suppress Technology stocks, and the risks involved can be imagined.

Therefore, after feeling the pressure from all sides and even warning, in addition to resolutely giving up the established reduction strategy, Simon also raised the security level of his family to the highest level. The private intelligence network of the Westeros family has also started to operate at full speed these days to ensure that if there is a potential crisis, it will be handled in advance.

In the final analysis, the influence of westero system is still not strong enough to control the economy of the United States and even the world.To achieve this, Simon needs to integrate the $900 billion of personal assets on the book with the global economy. In this way, if he wants to manipulate it in the future, he doesn't even need to do it himself. As long as Simon speaks, someone will do it for him.

Only in this way can the power of huge wealth be brought into full play.

The revolution has not yet been successful. Comrades still need to work hard.

In the living room of shell villa, Janet sleeps on Simon's lap this time. Listening to the man's strange words, she smiles and asks about visiting Livermore laboratory during the day. Hearing Simon's decision not to support the laser ignition project, Janet blinks: "why not, don't you forget, um, that?"

Simon certainly knows what women mean.

The "sword of Damocles" project of the Westeros.

Of course, I didn't forget it.

If the westero system has mastered laser ignition, it will have the most advanced hydrogen bomb technology, which will become a very powerful deterrent force.

With this in mind, Simon explained: "I just don't support it now. I plan to start with the magnetic confinement scheme and form two teams, tokamak and star simulator. When the magnetic confinement scheme is mature, the technology accumulation in this field is deep enough, and laser ignition is natural. "

Janet asked, "what if the others make laser ignition first?"

Simon said with a smile: "it's easier. You know, the time for pro nuclear countries to develop nuclear weapons is always getting shorter and shorter. The reason is that once the scheme is proved feasible, the follow-up efforts should be made in one direction. Laser ignition is also the same, once someone succeeds, follow-up winners will come in droves. Moreover, judging from the current state of research and development of nuclear fusion technology in various countries, even if we give them another 20 years, I don't think those people can achieve much. "

Sitting quietly on the other side listening to the conversation, Jennifer said, "why

Simon turned to his female assistant and explained, "it's very difficult for a country or a person to do anything without confrontation or belief."

Jennifer leaned over obediently and asked, "so, we?"

Simon said with a smile, "we have interests. No confrontation, no faith, then, want to drive a team to overcome technical difficulties, the most effective tool is interest. That's why I'm not optimistic about the research in the field of aerospace and nuclear energy at the national level. Whether it's in North America, Europe or Asia, researchers in related fields are treated very mediocrely. Moreover, they are highly bureaucratic. Those who have made achievements will not be rewarded and will be severely punished if they mess up. In this environment, it's basically impossible to make progress. Therefore, the current aerospace and nuclear energy fields are still at the level of the 1950s and 1960s. We are not the same. I will not only provide them with sufficient budget, but also distribute most of the equity to the research team as a reward. As long as the technology can be broken through, even if we only retain 10% of the shares in the end, the interests involved will be huge enough. "

"In this case, we need to determine the dual ownership structure in advance to ensure our control," Janet, who is on Simon's lap, said

"Of course."

If there is no absolute control, in the future, once the shareholding ratio of westrow system to SpaceX and other companies is reduced to less than 50%, these companies will basically fall into the situation of Boeing Loma.

When Janet saw Simon saying this, she knew that he had considered all aspects of the whole matter and would not continue. Instead, she talked about the private intelligence team of the Westeros family. In order to avoid the recurrence of similar events two years ago, women are actually adjusting the private intelligence team of the family recently.

I had two days off at the weekend.

In the new week, he spent Valentine's day at home. Simon left Los Angeles again on February 15 and flew to New York to attend the listing ceremony of tincobail company on February 16.

During the two-week roadshow, tincobail's intended subscription share has reached 17 times of the IPO financing amount. In the face of such strong market demand, tincobail revised its offering price, increasing the price per share from US $43 to US $50, thus increasing the IPO valuation from US $35 billion to US $40.7 billion.

Even if there was some criticism, 130 million new shares were quickly sold out.

After all, we all know that the issue price has only been raised by 16%, which is far from the market value potential of tincobail estimated by some institutions.

The IPO price was raised to US $50, and the total amount of IPO Financing reached US $6.5 billion. Among them, the value of 30 million shares cashed out by Westeros also increased to US $1.5 billion.

On the other hand, in order to avoid long dreams, several Wall Street giants, such as Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley, decisively took over the $3 billion shares of danielis, Cisco and AOL sold by Simon last time after a short negotiation with Westeros.

After the announcement on February 2, in the past two weeks, westero also quickly completed the reduction of AOL's $2 billion worth of shares.$1.5 billion plus $3 billion plus $2 billion.

It can be said that in just half a month, westero company cashed a total of $6.5 billion from the U.S. capital market. Taking into account the previous two cashes to Denise entertainment and Cisco, minus 15% capital gains tax, westero company's net income was about $9 billion.

Because of his 100% stake in Westeros, the money actually belongs entirely to Simon.

This fund has exceeded the wealth of most of the top rich in this era.

Moreover, the cash reserves of the whole westrow system are far more than that.

Only the igritte family raised more than 20 billion US dollars before and after the IPO last year. Simon has made very strict restrictions on the use of this fund, which is basically to spend nothing. The M & A expansion takes stock exchange as far as possible, and large amount project investment such as data center can only use the cash flow generated by igritte's own revenue.

such a huge cash reserve is not only expected after the collapse of the new technology bubble, the vistor system will further strengthen the control of the new field of technology, but also to complete its own diversified expansion.

New York.

Simon arrived on the afternoon of February 15, the last day of New York Fashion week.

In fact, the four major fashion weeks do not last for one week, but according to the number of participating brands.

Just like this year, the first New York Fashion Week lasts for 8 days, the next London Fashion Week lasts for 4 days, then Milan Fashion Week lasts for 7 days, and the last Paris Fashion Week lasts for 9 days.

From these data, we can also see the proportion of fashion industry in various countries.

France is still ahead.

Midtown Manhattan, in Bryant Park, the home of New York Fashion week.

Lyudmila besonovskova, as a closing model, ended a walk show with the applause of the audience and the designer. When she returned to the backstage, she immediately saw three yekaterina noskova standing beside her sister.

Bichi!

Lyudmila, who is already very good at English, couldn't help saying something.

After a whole year of private training, Lyudmila finally made her debut in this fashion week, and, judging from the feedback in recent days, it's also a blockbuster.

With her excellent appearance and professional quality trained for a year, Lyudmila is the most popular new model in this fashion week. In eight days, including mark Jacobs' brand of the same name, which ended tonight, attended 21 catwalks. Under the operation of elite, magazines such as vogue and bazaar reported on Lyudmila.

It's just that I'm not happy at all.

Why?

Busy more than 12 hours a day, 21 shows, each one can only get $1000 reward, but also by elite to deduct 30% commission, but also pay taxes, plus other expenses, it seems that a week to earn more than $20000, as a new comer, may let many rootless girls envy to collapse, but Lyudmila some want to go crazy .

I'm so tired that I can only earn $21000 on the book in a week. Yekaterina's three friends come to watch the show or, in her opinion, just watch her busy little bichi. If she strolls around Fifth Avenue casually, it will cost more than that. Watching liudayeva dangle around in front of her with her recently bought LV bag, she just wants to strangle each other.

Bichi!

It's too unbalanced.

Why are you so tired.

Ah, ah.

Of course, in front of the three girls, Lyudmila will not show weakness in any way. She is just the beginning. She is just the beginning. In the future, like those top supermodels, Lyudmila will surely make millions every year.

And you.

Hum, when Simon westrow gets tired of it, cry.

Before she came here, she heard that the singing group candidates that Livni media has been quietly selecting have come out. They are all very beautiful, and they will definitely become Simon westero's new favorite.

All in all.

Ah, ah.

It's like there are a group of manic rabbits in her heart. On the surface, Lyudmila is impeccable. This is also the result of her training in the past year. She is familiar with the head of Helen yamak brand from Russia. This is a fur brand. She likes fur best, and because she comes from Russia, although the Soviet Union has disintegrated, after all, everyone loves fur They all speak Russian and are instinctively friendly.

After greeting for a long time, I finally came to the three girls who were still hanging on.

Speaking of his mark Jacobs show in the evening, he secretly bit his little white teeth and continued to invite three yekaterinas. Come on, I'm not afraid of you. I can only rely on the man's little bichi!
