A remote farm in West Virginia.
After a few low barks, a German shepherd who has just moved to this family for a long time has lost his voice.
Without the lights on, even the street lights on the road outside the farm have been broken. In the dim farm villa, there are many people.
The hostess, who is reminded not to make a sound, has been waiting for a long time, and has not seen her husband return. She can't help her worry and fear. She wants to go to the next room to see her children, or take the little guy to the basement. There is a slight sound of footsteps in her ear.
Then the big bed sank slightly.
This is definitely not my husband.
It seems to be a woman.
The woman plucked up her courage and was about to feel for the lamp at the head of the bed. She was going to take it as a weapon to attack someone. Suddenly, a blow came from the shoulder of her hand. She felt that half of her body was so painful that she couldn't feel it. Tears came out of her eyes uncontrollably.
It's not over.
Obviously in order to completely remove her resistance, the other side of the shoulder and abdomen ushered in two attacks.
A woman wants to curl up, but she can't. a light body has stepped on her body and stopped her movement.
After a slight sound, the lamp lights up.
The woman finally saw someone coming.
This is a slim and slim girl. She just took off her night vision instrument and showed a pure and beautiful face. She wore a simple horsetail and a simple T-shirt and hot pants. At first glance, she looked like an ordinary high school student. However, the retro style dagger hanging on her chest made her feel more dangerous.
Seeing the woman staring at the dagger in front of her chest, the girl took it off with a smile, skillfully played a string of light and shadow in her hand, and looked at the woman in front of her: "do you like this?"
The woman finally woke up and shook her head: "you, who are you?"
The girl tilted her head, seemed to think about it, and said, "number seven."
The woman hesitated a little and asked, "where's my husband?"
Girl's eyes with a bit of cat playing with the mouse's banter: "dead."
The woman's body trembled and her eyes glanced at the girl's slender body again. She wanted to resist. She was still suffering from several persistent pains. In a moment, she reminded her that the seemingly harmless girl in front of her could not resist. She could only beg: "I don't know anything, please, don't hurt me, and my child."
The girl nodded seriously: "coincidentally, I don't know anything."
The woman for a time some reaction does not come over: "that you... Why want to hurt us?"
"Because it's an order." Girl of course: "we received the order, here is a family, there is a dog, let them all disappear."
The woman stared at the girl who was still playing with the antique dagger. After a pause, tears continued to pour down from the corner of her eyes, and the shaking of her body intensified: "please, I really don't know anything. At least, let my daughter go, please."
The girl seemed to be moved and looked down at the woman: "Oh, you are a good mother. I have a mother, but my mother is very afraid of me. Last time I went back to see her, she was so scared that she couldn't even invite me to a meal. That day I was very hungry and angry, but the Lord didn't like me to do anything to that woman, Will you be my temporary mother? "
The girl said to herself in a strange way. Unconsciously, she leaned down and seemed to be looking for her mother's embrace.
The woman on the bed felt that the girl was close, and her mood seemed to be a little unstable. She thought that she had got the last chance and quietly reached out to hold the lamp at the head of the bed again. However, her slowly extended arm suddenly straightened out, struggling to knock the lamp down. The banging sound came, and the bedroom fell into darkness again, as well as the strange sound of trying to breathe.
……
East Hampton.
At breakfast time, girl a put a Virginia local newspaper in front of her boss, and the page unfolded was a local news.
A fire broke out on a farm last night. However, after the fire was put out, a family of three, including a pet dog, who had just moved in recently, disappeared, as if the human world had evaporated.
This is actually a continuation of the Atlantic City poisoning in July.
Today's newspaper content is mainly to give a signal to some people, but Simon still didn't find what he wanted behind the scenes, so he had to continue to dig slowly. Simon's attitude is very simple, even if all the way to the White House, he will never compromise.
Anyway, there is no shortage of assassinated presidents in the United States.
Of course, the Lin sisters sitting side by side opposite Simon couldn't know this.
Last night, she finally got what she wanted. When she got up early in the morning, she was a little shy. But Lin Zhi was very bold and took the initiative to talk to the man. She also envied Chen Qing sitting next to the man.
Lin Zhi is currently in a private high school in Manhattan. Next year, she plans to study at Columbia University like her sister. She has already thought about economics, so she takes the initiative to talk about this topic and unconsciously turns to China: "Simon, so you are optimistic about China's economy?"
"Of course," Simon nodded with a smile, "with the current growth momentum of China's economy, if there is no big accident, it can become the world in 30 years at most. Chen Qing didn't answer, but the Lin sisters didn't know how to answer for a while.
Simon said: "as a result, the Song Dynasty, which accounted for 80% of the world economy, was trampled by only a few million or even hundreds of thousands of northern nomads, and finally destroyed the country. So, look, what if the economy is the largest in the world, more than the rest of the world put together? "
All three girls fell into thinking for a moment.
Simon didn't want to say any more. He hesitated a little, but he couldn't help saying, "China has a famous saying that either the east wind prevails over the west wind, or the west wind prevails over the east wind. This, in my opinion, is the essence of the world. When the east wind is suppressed by the west wind, there is no way to hide one's talents and bear humiliation. Then, one day, the east wind finally has the ability to overcome the west wind, but instead of suppressing it, it has to be a good east wind. I've forgiven you for all the things that happened before. Well, wait. When the west wind recovers again and suppresses the east wind, it will not be polite at all. Until it is crushed to death, the west wind will not remember that when the east wind is strong, it has been trying to be a good east wind to be kind to others. "
Speaking of this, Simon continued: "recall the history of China, the five chaos of China, the destruction of the Song Dynasty by Mongolia, and the entry of the Qing army into GATT. Have a look at that time, when China's GDP was not the first in the world, what's the use?"
At the dinner table, Chen Qing listens with great interest, but the Lin sisters look at each other.
Is this a good word or a bad word for a man?
It seems that some people hate iron but not steel.
However, it seems that the position is not quite right.
……
After breakfast, Simon leaves for the west coast.
This is August 24.
Monday.
Boarding his own Boeing 767 private jet, Simon began his day's work.
First of all, it was South Korea. We had a video conference with Chen Qing who stayed in New York and the team from South Korea to discuss in more detail the solution of LG Group, which had just completely succumbed to the Westeros system.
You know, LG is not only LG Electronics, but also a diversified and comprehensive consortium.
However, limited to the volume of South Korea itself, even if the business involves energy, steel, chemical, electronics, retail and other aspects, the overall scale is still only US $230 billion.
Of course, the $230 billion consortium is not small.
The problem is that the westero system is too large at the moment. It's just igritte, the one with the highest value, with a market value of more than 500 billion US dollars. Therefore, it seems that the size of chaebol in South Korea is very small.
In a word, because it was overwhelmed by the westero system that LG was forced to give in. LG didn't get as good treatment as Hyundai, Samsung and SK, which were originally willing to compromise. In addition to the planned separation and integration of LG's electronic business, LG's energy and chemical industry will also be completely dismantled here.
LG's family will only retain certain property and title in name this time, and the actual asset control right will be completely digested by the westero system.
The IMF team in South Korea controlled by the westero system still firmly controls the economic trend of South Korea. In addition, the continuous Daewoo Group and LG Group disintegrated under the pressure of westero system. Although Simon has not been to South Korea several times before, he has absolutely become the controller behind the scenes of South Korea's economy at this time.
The so-called control, the key is to build an effective management system.
From a country to a small enterprise, as long as the people from the top to the bottom put in their own hands, they actually have the right of control. Once formed, it is very difficult for others to break such a net under the entanglement of numerous interest communities.
For South Korea, Simon wants to achieve this goal.
In the next few years, even if South Korea pays off its debts ahead of schedule and breaks away from the supervision of the IMF system, it will not break away from the actual control of the westero system.
In addition to South Korea, Simon did not ignore the economic situation in Eastern Europe and even Asia in the week when he returned to the west coast.
The Russian rouble crisis a few days ago was rooted in the financial turmoil in Southeast Asia. Then, the outbreak of the rouble crisis transmitted the impact back to Asia, triggering another round of economic turmoil in Southeast Asian countries.
The repeated devastation finally made some people unable to bear.
On August 27, the Malaysian government suddenly completely lifted the table, voluntarily gave up negotiations with the IMF, implemented foreign exchange control, and closed the bond market. This led to one-sided condemnation from the international community. Many Southeast Asian and even Eastern European countries, which did not have the courage to do so and finally chose to give in, quietly waited and wondered what would happen to Malaysia.
For Simon, things seem to be back on track again.
There is also a big difference.
In Simon's current position, we must closely follow the world's mainstream financial circles to condemn and even sanction Malaysia's violation of the rules.
As for all this, it can even be said that in the process of helping Hong Kong last year, many people were reminded that they didn't play cards according to common sense... It doesn't matter. People are forgetful. A few people can still remember last year's events. What's more, what if they remember?
Does anyone want to reason with Simon westero?
Don't make any noise.
All in all, with the lifting of the table in Malaysia, in order to avoid the pressure on other economies to follow suit and cause more adverse effects, the Asian financial crisis which lasted for more than a year is finally coming to an end.
Looking back on the past year, we can achieve this goal through the establishment of closer potential ties between Hong Kong and the Chinese authorities; Force South Korea to give in and invade South Korea's economy to achieve its goal; While eastern Europe's economy is affected, we should strengthen our control over Ukraine to achieve our goal; To avoid a complete collapse of Russia, the goal is achieved.
It's been a full year.
At the same time, at the end of August, the 1998 summer program in North America was closed.
As far as daenerys entertainment is concerned, this summer program starts with "secrets of Los Angeles" and ends with "magic Mike". According to the current box office data, it is estimated that the total box office of 10 films will be about $1.57 billion, far exceeding the box office expectation of 10 films of daenerys entertainment before the summer program, which is about $1 billion to $1.2 billion.
More than $1.5 billion at the box office, plus the 1998 part of last year's phenomenal Titanic, has already reached $2 billion. It is estimated that the North American box office volume in 1998 is about 6.5 billion US dollars, which is close to one third of the North American box office share.
In addition to the box office revenue of other follow-up periods, daenerys entertainment is still able to control about half of the North American market in the film business this year.
In contrast, only a few films, such as "lethal weapon 4", "X-Files movie version" and "Zorro's mask", have made better box office results in this summer season.
However, it's only good-looking, because under the monopoly of danielis entertainment, other studios don't even have a movie that has entered the box office Club of 100 million yuan.
