Chapter 1074 A Roll of Hot Oil

Mobile phone direct access: m.xinwanben.com

The next day is December 6th.

Under the deliberate suppression of the Westeros family's public relations team, although the news about the capping of the Westeros Building could not be concealed, it caused little waves in the media. There was no media coverage of the capping ceremony the day before.

Inside the estate on the northern outskirts of Greenwich.

During breakfast time, the family casually chatted about this matter, but Simon remembered a certain "law of skyscrapers" that had not been formally proposed. Simply put, the completion of a large number of skyscrapers often brings about a serious economic recession. For example, the construction of New York skyscrapers represented by Rockefeller Center in the 1930s was accompanied by the worst recession in American history. In the 1970s, the Twin Towers were completed, the Bretton Woods system dominated by the United States collapsed, and the oil crisis broke out at the same time.

This time, the Westeros Tower is capped, and the new tech bubble has reached its peak, which could burst at any time.

After breakfast, the Indian girl who got Janet's approval flew to Manhattan by helicopter to participate in the company's IPO listing ceremony today as a minority shareholder of instagram.

Simon was not in a hurry to go to work, but continued to stay at home.

So it wasn't until after nine o'clock that a black car entered the manor, and she was reminded by the maid. Janet, who was next to Simon and looked at a document, gave her man a blank look at her own man at home, got up and went out, and Simon also got up. However, Jennifer did not show up on the other side of the villa with the children.

It was Erin Lauder who got on and off the sedan.

While living on the east coast, Janet had already met Grace and went to Boston to talk to the two girls, Maria, but Irene was the only one left. The king didn't look like the king. After all, Irene felt guilty for a long time. Finally, I took the initiative to come and visit, and I chose today.

After getting out of the car, Eileen Lauder saw Simon and Janet approaching together, she was a little relieved, and she glanced at a certain guy with a resentful look before smiling at Janet.

"Good morning, Jenny, nice to meet you."

"Me too, Erin, oh, you're so pretty today."

"thanks."

After a warm hug and greetings, Janet also took Irene's little hand and walked towards the villa together. The two women seemed to have instantly forgotten a certain guy beside them.

Of course Simon didn't mind.

It's fine if it doesn't hit.

Smiling, she followed the two girls into the door and returned to the living room just now. The two girls sat down and Janet asked again, "Irene, what would you like to drink?"

After all, Irene, who is not so calm on the surface, said habitually: "Coffee is fine."

"This can't be done. It's better not to drink coffee when pregnant. How about orange juice?"

"OK."

Janet instructed Angry, the housekeeper who followed up, to look at Erin beside her with concern: "So, how are you feeling recently?"

"It's only been more than two months, except for the occasional morning sickness, everything else is fine," Irene said, paused, and then added: "I had a checkup last week, and the baby is also fine."

"Do you know it's a boy or a girl?"

Hearing this question, Irene subconsciously looked at a guy next to her. She felt guilty, paused, and said, "If nothing else, it's a boy."

If it is an ordinary person, who wants to know the gender of the fetus, it is often only possible to identify it through b-ultrasound after three or four months of pregnancy.

For Erin, there is no need for this kind of waiting.

The girl was guilty at this time, she just wanted to hide it from a guy after secretly confirming the sex of the fetus. It's just that in front of Janet Westeros at this time, she couldn't help but say it out.

Actually, two weeks ago, Irene secretly performed DNA fetal gender identification, and Simon knew very quickly. After all, the girl was accompanied by eight female guards of the Wei family, but Simon pretended not to know if Irene didn't say it.

Listening to Erin talking about it at this time, Simon just showed a happy expression of satisfaction with the result: "Hello boy, you have always hoped that the baby's name is Noah, and now the conditions are met."

Seeing Simon like this, Irene felt a little relieved.

Janet rolled her eyes at Simon: "You can go to work now, and Evgenia has been staying here for a week, so you can take it away with you, and send her back to Ukraine when you want. convenient."

In fact, I didn't worry about anything at all, and staying more reassured Irene.

Since Janet was chasing people, Simon took the initiative to get up, went up to hug the two girls, left the living room, called girl a, and brought Evgenia Korkoshko to another helicopter together. Rush to Manhattan.

It is true that many people should not blame the courtesy.

Before Thanksgiving, little Eve came to give Janet a holiday gift on behalf of the Korkoshko family. Janet, who was very satisfied, stayed with her like a little valet to train herself for a week. Of course, Simon also understands that Janet obviously has other intentions. After all, a bunch of girls in Ukraine have to choose a few direct descendants and use them as microphones to tell the gods and so on.

in the living room.

When Simon left, facing Irene, who was inevitably a little nervous, Janet didn't have the slightest intention of turning into a big goblin because the man wasn't there. Something you don't know yet."

Erin made a puzzled expression.

Janet raised a well-maintained little hand and shook Erin: "The little bastard got five women pregnant at one time, and you are only one of them."

Eileen's eyes widened

eye.

She really doesn't know this.

To be precise, she knew about Jennifer's pregnancy through some channels, but others, such as Grace and the two Ukrainian women in Boston, although these things are not too absolute secrets, but after pregnancy Irene, who is mostly thinking about the baby in her womb, is unknown.

Five women, pregnant together?

There were a lot of thoughts going around in her mind, and Irene finally looked at Janet: "Jenny, you, aren't you angry?"

"I'm angry, but I can't help it, even though I'm married to a little bastard."

Janet replied that although she said so, there was no obvious sign of anger in her tone.

Of course, Erin could also feel Janet's emotions, so she just thought, well, to some extent, this couple must be the same. Well, that's what Janet just used to call a guy.

Neither are good people.

Alas, pity myself the victim.

Thinking like this, she couldn't help but reach out and caress her lower abdomen, Irene just felt that her life was suffering, and so was the baby.

My poor little Noah.

The housekeeper brought the orange juice at this time, Janet took a sip from her glass, looked at Irene who was still a little stunned, waited for a moment, and said, "Actually, Irene, if you want, the child can be born. Leave it to me, and then you can leave the little bastard and live your life again."

As a mother, it is inevitable that some things are particularly sensitive.

Hearing this, Irene immediately looked at Janet vigilantly: "Simon promised, we also signed an agreement, you must not try to take my child away."

Janet curled her lips slightly: "Take it easy, Erin, this is just my suggestion. It's actually a good choice for you and your children."

Irene is still like a cat with fried fur: "Don't even think about it."

Janet shrugged: "Okay okay, I take back what I just said. Besides, it's not what you think, even if you don't plan to raise this little guy yourself, I won't let him enter Dumay Point Manor again, I Enough of the little annoyances around Jenny, and I'll let the rest of Simon's women raise the baby."

Janet's irresponsible remarks made Irene slightly relieved.

However, Janet quickly said again: "But, Irene, you have to understand, think carefully, after this child is born, if you plan to raise it yourself, then you will be completely bound to the Westeros family, Although the little bastard always looks like he doesn't care, the women around him seem to be able to leave at any time if they want, but in fact, how can a man not be possessive, let alone the mother of his own child, so, at that time, if you want to return In a normal life, if you find another man to marry, things will be very troublesome."

Eileen paused for a while, and then said softly, "Anyway, Noah is mine."

"Of course, even if you don't plan to raise this child yourself, neither Simon nor I will deny that the baby is yours, and it will never hinder you from visiting this child."

Erin became vigilant again: "What are you trying to do?"

Janet blinked her eyes with an innocent look on her face: "It's very simple, instead of having a conflict in the future, it's better to make a decision now and leave him completely. To use a Chinese idiom, this is called long-term pain rather than short-term pain."

Irene finally understood a little bit, stared at Janet, and suddenly found an entry point of anti-customer-oriented: "Since you said he was a bastard, why didn't you leave him?"

"I'm his wife, I have proof."

Irene was suddenly depressed, but she immediately said, "It's not the case if you're divorced."

Janet looked incredulous: "Don't you think that Simon and I are a natural match, and it is impossible to divorce."

""

Irene felt that she was going to be rounded in again, and it seemed that something was wrong.

After a little bit of sorting out, I managed to grasp the key. The matter is very simple. The woman in front of me seems to be indifferent, but in the final analysis, I still want to leave that bastard by myself.

now it's right.

If I were in Janet Westeros' position, I would definitely think so.

Knowing this, Irene regained her fighting spirit and said to Janet: "Jenny, anyway, I will not leave Simon, at least not because of your persuasion. Moreover, since you actually care about having him beside him. Other women, why don't you consider kicking Jennifer Redbold out first, you don't have to target me."

Jennifer rolled her eyes at Irene, as she took it for granted: "Drive Jenny away, will you help me take care of the child?"

Erin felt a little confused again: "You accept Jennifer just to help you take care of the child?"

"Or else, five little annoyances, I don't have time to deal with."

All right.

Irene confirmed once again that this one, and a certain guy, are definitely the same kind of people.

My life is miserable.

My poor little Noah.

Janet seemed to see through Irene's mind, nodding her head and instigating: "So, long-term pain is worse than short-term pain."

"I won't let you succeed."

Irene countered subconsciously, grabbed her bag after finishing speaking, felt that there was no need to chat with Janet any more, and planned to get up and say goodbye.

As a result, Janet stopped again.

The real hostess's style suddenly changed, and the topic turned directly. She picked up a document that Irene was reading before coming, and chatted about it.

The Westeros Family Foundation has no idea which is the stem cell research project of a biological laboratory affiliated to New York University that its sub-funds plan to fund in the near future. It happens that Irene lives in Manhattan. Inject $50 million into the operation of a family sub-fund.

And this project is also closely related to the little guy in Erin's belly.

When a child is born, the laboratory will be responsible for lifting stem cells from the little guy's umbilical cord for cryopreservation for possible future health needs.

Irene was led by Janet, and she agreed along the topic in a daze.

Outside the living room, Jennifer, who came quietly to say hello to Erin, happened to hear the conversation between the two women and felt helpless.

I am also being treated badly.

The two couples around, one has a certain strength in their bones that can even cause a woman to have Stockholm Syndrome, and the other doesn't like to use their brains very much on weekdays, but they can drag people into the trap they want without knowing it.

Let's just say that the poor girl in the living room must have felt that Janet was trying to drive her away, so she was already in love with a little woman who fell in love with a guy, but under Janet's words, she became more determined. Reverse psychology.

You want me to leave, but I don't.

Instead, it hits Janet's arms.

Because Jennifer knows very well that Janet really doesn't mind Simon walking through the flowers, and it can even be said that on the contrary, Janet has some kind of weird little pride in her man's ability to attract women, so she just 'helped' someone The poor girl consolidated her resolve.

The matter of the family fund that was immediately discussed is the topic of today.

If Erin was smart and sober enough, she should have found clues in Janet's discussion of the family fund. After all, if Janet really wanted to drive her away from Simon, why would she want to put her in charge of a Westeros charitable fund?

What's more, it is a very important fund.

You must know that in the past two years, the Westeros Family Charity Fund’s research in the field of life sciences has always been followed up by Janet, and the research in the field of stem cells, which is expected to reverse aging, can be described as a very important direction. This time The stem cell research team at NYU's biological lab, which the program funded, is just one of many top research teams Janet has downloaded.

poor girl.

Unconsciously, she was once again captured by Janet, who likes to be a "superior laborer", and she would probably be very happy to be integrated into the Westeros family afterwards, so it was inevitably another layer of potential binding.

On the other side, Simon arrived in Manhattan and sent away little Eve before starting his day's work.

There are many things to focus on today.

The first is the official listing of instagram.

Simon did not personally go to the Nasdaq exchange for the listing platform of this photo sharing website, but sent girl a over. After all, she is also one of the important shareholders of instagram, and today there are four girls a, b, c, and d. Will gather again, as well as waist essence and leg essence, and, in addition, a large number of celebrities on instagram have been invited.

Even without Simon's support, this listing is definitely star-studded.

From its launch in July 1994 to its listing in December 1996, with a total of 2 years and 4 months of operation, instagram, the largest image sharing website on the Internet, has now become globally popular with the support of the Westeros system. With 160 million users, it is one of the websites with the largest user scale in a single service on the Internet at this stage.

At the same time, in the third quarter of 1996 before the IPO was launched, instagram's single-quarter revenue also reached 27 million US dollars, and the annual revenue is expected to exceed 100 million US dollars. Of course, this performance can't be compared with Igret, but in the case where most other Internet projects are still "storytelling", Instagram can do this, which is quite impressive.

After many evaluations and trade-offs, the final IPO valuation of Instagram is determined to be around $6 billion.

Under the most turbulent situation of the current Internet boom, 160 million huge users are valued at only 6 billion US dollars. Even if it is three times higher than the 2 billion US dollars in the latest round of financing last year, in the eyes of many people, it is still very serious. underestimate.

There are of course some considerations in this.

The underestimation of the issue price means that the market response on the first day of instagram's listing will be very hot, even if the stock price in a single day is directly doubled compared to the issue price, it is not impossible. In this way, many investors have already begun to shrink the conservative new technology sector, and then poured a roll of hot oil into it.

The end result would be a dose of adrenaline that would re-fuel the Nasdaq higher again.

The direct response of this operation is to ensure that other financing operations of the Westeros system in the near future can proceed smoothly.
