Chapter 1024 Garden of Eden
In the northern hemisphere it is late summer and early autumn, but in the southern hemisphere it is winter and spring. In the city of the sea, the changes between the four seasons are usually not too obvious.
Melbourne.
Early in the morning, I don't know what time it is, but I can only feel a little morning light reflected through the curtains.
On the big bed in the bedroom, Janet hummed into Simon's arms, obviously unwilling to get up, and asked in a daze, "Honey, what do you have for breakfast?"
Simon was also a little confused. These days, he was deliberately pushed by the two women to watch the child. Last night, he read a story to Little Nick until late at night. At this time, he couldn't help but blurt out: "Eat the child."
Janet chuckled, "Okay."
On the other side, Jennifer, who was holding Simon's waist, gently raised her hand and hit him: "Don't say that, especially outside, it will be taken seriously."
Janet laughed again.
With Simon's current status, such words may indeed be believed to be true if they are said nonsense outside.
Simon changed from lying on his side to lying on his back, and hugged the female assistant on the other side, kissing her gently on the cheek, but his big hand caressed the woman's lower abdomen: "I have worked hard for so many days, it must be there. ."
Jennifer put a sticker on Simon, her tone was a little softer, and she pressed the man's big hand and said, "It should be, but it will take some time to find out."
One of the most important things about this vacation is that the female assistant wants to have another child.
Janet pretended to be jealous by the side: "Add one more, it's six little guys, Janet, you will be more difficult to deal with in the future, and you will be tired to the point of wrinkling."
The female assistant reached out and pinched Janet's face: "Which one of us will have wrinkles first?"
Then there's a couple of slaps.
Opening the female assistant's little hand, Janet, who was hit with the "reverse scale", immediately said viciously: "Also, as you can see, a guy who wants to eat children doesn't like children at all."
Jennifer didn't answer, but looked at Simon with a smile.
Simon said: "Of course I like children, as long as I don't bring them."
"Hehe, me too."
The female assistant reluctantly looked at the two heartless beside her, sat up and started getting dressed, saying, "You can sleep a little longer, and I'll prepare breakfast."
Both agreed, watching the female assistant get dressed, Janet also deliberately reached out and slapped her hands and feet a few times, and then caused some laughter and slapstick.
When Jennifer got out of bed and walked to the bathroom, Janet, who monopolized Simon, clinged to the man, but asked again, "Dear, so, do you like children or not?"
There was a bit of sarcasm in his tone. Simon nodded without hesitation: "Of course, according to the theory of genetic instinct, no one will dislike children. I recently realized a truth, in the life cycle of an individual, only if you get longer, you will be the winner. Otherwise, tsk, everything may become someone else's. And in the life cycle of human beings, only by spreading their genes more powerfully will they be the winners."
After Janet heard it, she opened her mouth and bit on Simon's shoulder, gritted her teeth for a moment, released her mouth, and curled her eyes: "So, this is my impression after saying those words to you a few days ago?"
Simon pretended to be confused: "What?"
Janet bit the man again and said, "That is, let more women give you more children."
Simon's big hand rubbed Janet's body: "So, why don't you give me a few more babies."
"No," Janet immediately refused, but laughed again, her smooth face was rubbing against Simon's shoulder, her tone was evil: "Anyway, no matter which woman has your child, she will always carry the Johnston family's What about blood, hum, what Westeros, it's actually all Johnston."
"..."
Seeing Simon's speechless appearance, Janet laughed again: "Actually, my dad thinks so too, otherwise, you thought he would accept Searle and the others so easily."
Simon remembered these days. Although he obviously preferred his two grandchildren, the old man didn't show too much rejection towards the little Snow siblings born in Seattle and Sophia. It was true when he thought about it, and he couldn't help saying with emotion: "Yes. , it's all a family."
Janet suddenly became interested again, twisted her body and climbed onto Simon's body, facing each other, and said, "Dear, I suddenly feel that maybe, having many, many children is also a very exciting thing."
Simon wrapped his arms around Janet's slender waist and said, "I think so too."
Janet bit down immediately and dissatisfiedly: "Bad man, how can you think so."
Simon also began to beg for mercy in a blink of an eye: "Just think about it, it will be very troublesome to operate."
"Bite you, ah woo..."
Today is September 2, Monday, the beginning of a new week.
It wasn't until after eight o'clock that the whole family sat in the restaurant. Simon, two women, and five children still had the coldness of the winter outdoors, which made the restaurant even more lively and warm.
Too bad there is no snow.
It's been half a month since I came to Melbourne, and I went skiing in the nearby mountains a few days ago, but only Simon and two Jennys, because they were worried about the children and the inevitable entertainment, they only played in the mountains for two days. Back again. At Simon's current position, it's really not easy to really leave everything behind for a vacation.
Fortunately, I will set off today and live on the island of Tasmania across the sea from Melbourne, and there will not be too much trouble there.
Dining room
Inside.
After breakfast, Janet, who was next to Simon, said another thing: "You really don't plan to go to the set of "Titanic" to see it?"
"Titanic" directed by James Cameron finally started filming in July. The original planned shooting period was two months, which is to be completed recently. As a result, the filming progress of the film is now halfway through. not here.
Overruns are inevitable.
Daenerys Entertainment's budget control producer who followed up on "Titanic" was almost nailed on the set, still unable to control Cameron's procrastination and perfectionism. When he learned that the big boss was coming to Australia for vacation, he hoped He can come forward in person, and even, because the current budget has been seriously overrun, in order to avoid repeating the mistakes of "Future Water World", it is also recommended to directly replace the director.
Even the two Jennys already knew about this, but Simon just watched from the sidelines.
Hearing the words at this time, Simon shook his head and said, "No." Seeing that the two Jennys were puzzled, he thought about it and said: "The current Daenerys entertainment is too advanced, or the entire Westeros system is It's too sharp, and if there are some problems, everyone is happy to see it."
Janet tilted her head for a moment and nodded in agreement.
Jennifer, who was sitting opposite and taking care of the two youngest children beside her, looked over and said with a smile, "I feel, um, about the past year or two, you have been deliberately slack because of this?"
Janet immediately said unforgiving: "Maybe it's really slack, after all, there are so many women out there, how can you cope without slack."
Simon smiled and didn't care about Janet's venomous tongue, nodded and said: "When a company develops to a certain level, problems are inevitable, no problems are the biggest problems, I'm waiting now whether it's Dany Liz Entertainment, or companies like Igreit, took the initiative to expose the problem."
The female assistant heard what Simon said, and said again: "The next new technology bubble burst, is it a node?"
Simon nodded: "Yes, when the crisis comes, the problem can be exposed."
Janet said: "Actually, all the companies in the Westeros system are relatively young and on the rise. Whether it's Daenerys Entertainment or Igrit, there are actually not so many problems. It will be at least five to ten years before there is a serious ossification of big company disease.”
Simon said: "Daenerys's side is really good, Amy and the others are very dedicated, and I personally watch. However, Igret's side, you know, last year's i, suddenly made a lot of high The management and employees have become rich, and coupled with the near-monopoly advantage of the Internet platform, the company is actually quite impetuous, and now in Silicon Valley, there are carnival entertainment everywhere every day, which is more lively than Hollywood.”
The female assistant thought for a while and said: "Igret's core, Tim really doesn't have much aggressiveness, this is determined by character, and you have already made arrangements, let Bezos take over next year. As for Alice Ferguson and Carol Butts, and of course Jeff, they're all very qualified."
Janet nodded in approval: "Yeah, in fact, being able to choose outstanding professional managers is our man's best talent. Otherwise, the Westeros system would not be able to do so much."
As he said, he remembered an interesting incident: "You don't know, the original Jeff, I originally planned to pull him to Cersei Capital, because he was originally a very good professional manager on Wall Street, and Simon was selecting Iraq at the time. The person in charge of Gretel, who didn't want to be too rigid and professional, just randomly picked one from my interview list, Jeff, I didn't expect him to be so competent, tsk, it's amazing."
The female assistant actually knew about this, so she nodded when she saw Janet talking about it.
After breakfast, the family first went to the Johnston family's mansion to say goodbye to the old man and the others, and then rushed to the pier. The family still took three yachts to Tasmania.
Near noon, three boats docked at a pier in the northwest corner of Tasmania where the grasslands and the forest connect. Over the years, Simon has built many manor houses in his Tasmanian territory. He lived here and built a manor on the edge of the cliff where the forest and grassland are connected and by the sea.
Not far away, this area of Tasmania's northwest corner has a similar climate to Melbourne.
A team of waiters had arrived in advance to arrange the arrangement. After the family arrived, they took a short rest and it was time for lunch.
Then there are no special arrangements.
The sun is just right in the afternoon. The family is sitting on the open terrace on the second floor of this neoclassical castle. The west is the blue sea, the east is the snow-capped mountains hidden in the clouds and mist, the south is the vast virgin forest, and the north is the winter. Because the sea still has green pastures.
"Where's the Garden of Eden?"
Squeezed into a soft chair with Simon, and looked at a Spanish-language copy of "One Hundred Years of Solitude" in the man's hand, with the sound of the female assistant watching over the children's frolic, Janet suddenly said this.
Simon nodded, but the corner of his mouth had some other meaning: "Yes, the Garden of Eden."
Janet's face leaned over to post with Simon, and said, "The Eden Project."
"yes."
Like the Sowell plan and the Troy plan, Simon quietly planned another Eden plan.
And Tasmania is Simon's chosen Garden of Eden.
In fact, many things started a long time ago, and the root is Simon's pessimism about the ultimate prospects of human society. Since he believes that some things are unavoidable, the best way is to choose a place of escape in advance, for yourself and for the future. children.
by
In the past, Simon didn't have a very clear concept of this matter, but he just spent money to build an underground shelter in the Tasmanian mountains and forests.
After years of brewing, Simon's thinking has become more and more clear.
Next, Simon will push this matter from the Australian policy side, and will try to bring in as many people as possible at the top of the pyramid in the world. Only everyone regards this place as the Garden of Eden. When something happens, everyone Only by forming a tacit understanding can this place become the real Garden of Eden.
Janet just mentioned one sentence and didn't say more, but looked at the book in Simon's hand again: "Dear, why do you like "One Hundred Years of Solitude"?"
Simon said: "If you go in with your heart, you can feel a sense of the passage of time. It seems that hundreds of thousands of words and hundreds of years have passed in the blink of an eye. This is a wonderful experience, especially now. , to spend time with your lover and children, surrounded by beauty, and then to stretch the short afternoon into a few hundred years, imagine."
Janet hummed twice, stopped talking, her eyes fell on the book in Simon's hand, and she began to immerse herself in it.
Afterwards, the children were sent to take a nap, watched by the maid, and the female assistant also joined in.
A hundred years of loneliness in books.
Outside the book, I am not alone at all.
This pastoral life has been spent for two or three days. It was not until Thursday morning that Simon again remembered that he should deal with some work-related matters. Lady A has been following Simon these days. However, according to Simon's instructions, as long as it is not special There is no need to let him know about important things that must be dealt with immediately.
Lady A has also not mentioned any work to Simon for the past few days.
On Thursday morning, after processing some accumulated documents, Simon checked his e-mail, in fact, it was mainly some personal e-mails. Then, he saw an e-mail from Chen Qing from China, talking about an incident that happened a few days ago. matter. Wish Momo's mother, want to talk to herself.
