Chapter 1008 Splitting Is Inevitable

Because it was a reception at the Raybould family, Simon stayed at the end. After seeing off the other guests, he discussed some affairs of the Westeros Company with James Rayburd, and then he left at more than 11 o'clock in the middle of the night.

The car bypassed Central Park and came to a villa on West 78th Street in the Upper West Side. It was close to the early morning.

This is where Alexandra Martinis lives.

Angourie Davis personally opened the door and welcomed Simon in. As soon as he stepped into the living room, Simon heard the faint laughter of a woman, and asked the housekeeper who rushed over earlier: "Is there a guest here?"

The housekeeper was about to speak, when standing on the second floor platform railing that could be seen directly from the living room, the greeting of the princess of the Golden Rose Cave sounded, and the woman quickly stepped down the stairs, her face flushed slightly, and she threw herself into Simon's arms. Li: "It's so late, Simon, why are you here?"

Simon hugged the woman who was wearing only a light pink close-fitting nightgown, hugged her, felt the warm fragrance of nephrite jade in his arms, and the faint smell of alcohol, and said with a smile: "You can't come over until you have finished the entertainment. ."

Having said that, several women have appeared by the railing on the second floor. They are not the maid guards beside Alexandra, but obviously her friends.

Simon has enough possessiveness for the women around him, but he doesn't limit their private life in private. As long as he doesn't steal food behind his back, even if he has some friends of the opposite sex, it doesn't matter. Seeing that the woman had guests late at night, she didn't mind too much like the Hall family last time, and nodded to the women upstairs.

Moreover, looking at it this way, I also found that several of them knew each other.

Armed Alexandra through the living room, stepped on the stairs to the second floor, about six or seven women greeted them from the open living room upstairs with different expressions, with surprise, excitement, restraint in their eyes, There are also eager to try.

Alexandra, whose cheeks were flushed and looked slightly drunk, also reacted at this time and explained: "Simon, Sarah and I discussed a Friday party a few days ago, but I didn't expect you to come over today. Oh, I'll come. Introduce... um, they don't need my introduction, do they?"

"Oh, no need."

Simon said, looked over and determined that there were a total of 7 women, Brooke Shields recognized at a glance, and the two leading actors of "Sex and the City", Sarah Jessica Parker and Kim Cattrall, There is another one, 'single poisonous mother', Mary Louise Parker, which is a coincidence, two Parkers, once Simon would confuse the two names.

Then, the other three women, Simon, no longer knew each other.

Obviously they are all good friends Alexandra met in New York in recent months. It seems that the women are all of the same age, and, if you sort it out a little, they are all in a relatively close circle, or TV, or dance drama. Probably a little more fashionable.

Jin·rosedong's communication skills are very good.

Briefly sweeping a group of women, Simon smiled again and said, "Everyone, sit down, it's so late and you haven't dispersed yet, what are you talking about?"

Saying that, he first walked to the sofa in the living room on the second floor with his arms around Alexandra.

Simon spoke, and the women all sat down one after another. However, facing this young man who seemed to be a little younger than them, it was difficult for a group of women to resume the relaxed chat and laughter for a while.

joke.

This is Simon Westeros.

Live.

In the past two days, a series of media heated discussions about the listing of Verizon Telecom, even if they are not very interested in relevant news, but in Manhattan, they are inevitably surrounded by all kinds of relevant news, and they can’t hide if they want to.

What's more, most of the women present had to work in an industry controlled by a certain man.

Whether it's film or fashion.

Like the two leads of "Sex and the City", and Candice Bushnell, who sits next to the two leads Simon doesn't know but is the original author of "Sex and the City", and now continues his Broadway career and begins to embrace Hollywood. The developing single drug mother Mary Louise Parker, and even the film field has no hope of starting to move to the TV circle. This year, she just collaborated with abc on a new film "Susan Unexpectedly", which will be broadcast in September. Brooke Shields.

The connections are very direct.

The last two, an independent writer for fashion magazines like Candice Bushnell, and a famous New York City makeup artist.

One more thing is obvious.

Although they are all women at the level of Yujie, since they are still partying on Alexandra's side in the early morning, they may have the intention to contact Simon, but it is obvious that these women should be single, at least not married. The kind, otherwise it's not suitable for 'fucking around' outside late at night.

After a few gossip, I was worried that Simon did not know their identities and took the initiative to introduce them again. Seeing that someone did not have the air of being a super tycoon, the atmosphere gradually became lively.

"About Igret, the market value can reach 500 billion US dollars, Simon, this is really amazing, we were just discussing whether to invest in some technology stocks," Brooke, holding a glass of red wine on the opposite sofa ·Xiao Si said, while consciously or unintentionally throwing hooking eyes: "Simon, can you give us some advice?"

Simon and Alexandra huddled intimately on a single sofa, hugging the woman in their arms, and a glass of red wine in their hands. Hearing the words, he said to him: "It's so late at night, and we have to discuss making money. It's boring, let's talk about other things."

When the women who had pricked up their ears saw Simon say this, they all laughed lightly.

Moreover, looking at the two undisguised intimate appearances on the single sofa

People, especially the man's arm that was restless on Alexandra's body, the atmosphere in the air was inevitably a little more strange.

This is Simon Westeros!

Women only feel that this simple but not simple sentence is repeated in their minds, even if they don't mention a series of eye-catching halos on someone, just this handsome face and the powerful figure that the whole world is known for because of some past news is enough. Let the thoughts of the women who are already familiar around them surge.

Coupled with the effect of some alcohol, he completely forgot all kinds of thoughts that inevitably occurred after seeing this man enter the door for the first time.

Candice Bushnell, who wrote the "Sex and the City" series, looks about thirty-five years old but is much prettier than Sarah Jessica Parker, the protagonist of his own works. Candace Bushnell smiled and picked up Simon The words: "So, Simon, what do you think we should talk about?"

Simon didn't answer Candace's question, he drank the red wine in the glass in one gulp, and then stood up with Alexandra in his arms: "It's very late, everyone should rest early, there are enough rooms here, if you want to If you want to go back, let Angry arrange a car for you."

As he said that, he deliberately gave the women around him a meaningful look, and walked directly to the stairs with the Princess of the Golden Rose Cave in his arms.

Although I liked the feeling of being surrounded by a group of women, after all, it was too late, and after a busy day, Simon suddenly just wanted to take a bath, and then put his arms around a fragrant woman to rest as soon as possible.

The last look is also a very clear invitation.

I don't want to do anything more tonight.

And the women around, even Bo Ji Xiaosi, Simon is not very interested, but if there are more women on the big bed as pillows, he will not refuse.

Watching Simon Westero suddenly leave with Alexandra in his arms, the women in the open living room on the second floor looked at each other.

However, it will probably respond quickly.

It is indeed a bit late.

It is already early morning.

At this point in time, men and women have either fallen asleep, or they can do something, and they can insist on talking about something. After all, there are not many.

When Simon left, Angore Davis also appeared quickly and politely said, "Ladies, is there anything else you need?"

Everyone didn't speak for a while.

After all, whether you want a car or a room is the question.

Finally, Candice Bushnell, the female author of "Sex and the City", first said, "Anger, how many rooms are there?"

"Three rooms, Ms. Bushnell, if everyone stays, it might be a little crowded, but the beds are huge."

At the beginning of Bushnell, out of all kinds of outlandish thoughts, the women stayed.

However, nothing happened that night.

Even the next morning, after all, it was Saturday, and after the women who were in a bad mood and went to bed late last night woke up one after another, Simon had already left early.

It's August 17th.

Saturday.

Although it was a weekend, because he was going to Australia tomorrow, Simon still arranged a full day of work for himself.

Moreover, because of a sudden news from Washington, Simon had to temporarily discuss countermeasures with San Francisco.

About the White House's imminent investigation into Igret.

For the upper echelons of the Federation, many things cannot be kept secret at all, not to mention that Simon has worked hard in Washington for so many years. If he cannot get first-hand information in the shortest time, it will be a failure.

In fact, Simon even got news from three aspects one after another.

One is from the White House.

One is from the Justice Department.

There is also a Treasury Department. Jennifer's younger brother, Philip Rebould, has officially entered the Treasury Department, and the current Treasury Secretary, Robert Rubin, is also the former head of Goldman Sachs and has close ties to the Westeros system.

Simon is not at all surprised that the Clintons, who have basically maintained a good tacit relationship for the past few years, suddenly turned their faces.

I didn't have high expectations for the pair in the White House.

What's more, for this kind of thing, the two of them are considered to have 'convictions'.

In the memory of the 2008 US plan, Hillary was very hopeful to be the nominee of the Democratic Party. As a result, because of the subprime mortgage crisis, everyone on Wall Street was shouting for a while. Hillary, who was originally the most inclined supporter of Wall Street, was trying to gain public opinion. Capital, after a period of riotous operation, began to point the finger at its biggest funder, saying that once it enters the White House, it will take the toughest measures against Wall Street.

It can be said that he turned his face quickly and neatly.

It was probably because of her eight-year White House career that Hillary had the illusion that her own power could overwhelm capital. This stinky move directly pushed the entire Wall Street to her opposite, and turned to support a certain black carbon. The first black president of the United States was born.

Now, Simon can also understand the other party's considerations.

With the listing of Verizon, the market value of Igret exceeded 500 billion US dollars, and, at the end of the month, it will be a new year of "Forbes" America's 400 richest list, plus the general election is about to enter the sprint stage, two The party definitely needs to have some hot topics to focus on.

Regarding Simon's expanding personal wealth, this topic has actually been discussed for a long time in the past few years, and it will inevitably become the focus of the general election debate.

The Internet industry is a key project promoted by the Clinton administration after taking office

, and Simon achieved his own wealth soaring by virtue of the outbreak of the Internet industry. In any case, the Republican Party will link the two as cause and effect. In order to avoid turning back on itself in the next few months of the election process, just like Hillary's rude operation in Simon's memory, this time, the White House also intends to 'pre-emptive'.

Now that the news has been obtained in advance, although Simon has prepared for the split of Igret from the beginning, such as the different heads of several major businesses that are focused on supporting, but since the White House has taken action, Simon will not stand by.

Separation is inevitable.

But at least on the surface, Simon will never cooperate to give the outside world the impression that he is actively seeking to split Igret, and will instead resist resolutely.

Because human nature is all about measuring.

If Simon actively cooperates with the split, it may be a sign of weakness in the eyes of many people.

The Westeros system has developed to this scale, and Simon cannot be weak. Because the interests involved in the entire Westeros system are too huge, and there are countless coveted eyes around them all the time, if Simon is weak in the split of Igret, then, for some people, I can't help but wonder if Simon Westeros will also take the initiative to make concessions if he takes action against any other industry in the Westeros system.

Step back, step back.

The result is a horde of coveted hyenas.

In addition, while deploying to deal with the upcoming investigation by the White House, Simon also needs to consider the possible impact on the Nasdaq stock market.

The Nasdaq broke through 5,000 points, which has actually reached the peak in Simon's memory around 2000.

Compared to the initial expectations, the time was significantly earlier.

Moreover, Simon is really unable to judge how far the Nasdaq can go this time. It is difficult to say 6,000 points or 7,000 points.

It's not impossible.

After all, the current situation of the Internet industry is completely different from what it used to be. Back in 1996, the Internet had just started to take off. In contrast, around 2000, the entire so-called Internet industry was really a serious bubble. Just like Yahoo, around 2000 , still figuring out its own business model.

But now, all aspects of Igreat's business, whether it is business model or revenue volume, are real, and at the same time maintain a fairly strong growth.

Even if the stock price is on the high side, compared with the new technology companies that used to have a price-earnings ratio of seven or eight hundred times or even a thousand times, as of yesterday afternoon's closing, Igret, whose market value reached 5,136, had a price-earnings ratio of only 167 times. The degree of foaming is actually very low.

Therefore, next, even if Igreit's share price doubles to $1 trillion, it is not impossible.

The statistics of the Nasdaq index are based on all stocks in the Nasdaq sector, but the addition of a trillion-dollar market value company like Igret is actually equivalent to raising the Nasdaq by about 1,000 points. 5,000 points, this time, the Nasdaq breaks through 6,000 points, which is completely feasible.

As for the higher 7,000 points, considering that the market value of Tinkber and other companies also have solid performance support, it is still not impossible.

In any case, the bubble burst is inevitable.

What Simon has to do is to complete the planned layout as soon as possible before the bubble bursts. After the bubble burst, to maintain the continued development of the Internet industry to the greatest extent, other than these cores, the rest are all the details.
