Chapter 1113

Although Nagao's sudden and unexpected collapse did not make Simon as anxious as many new technology investors, he still worked on Monday until nearly seven o'clock in the evening before he was able to return to Dumay Point Manor. Simon returned home, an hour into the Oscars ceremony on the other side of the city.

After all, it's such a big thing as the stock market crash, and Janet didn't have any free time this day. When she saw her man came back, she immediately rushed over to hang on Simon, looking like she worked hard and made a lot of money.

Simon had to carry Janet into the dining room together.

Talk while walking.

The topic remains the Nasdaq.

Janet, who was hugged by Princess Simon, raised her face with a little star in her eyes, "First of all, congratulations, my dear, at 10 o'clock this morning, when the Nasdaq was 7045, your personal net worth reached 8 trillion in 1996. With 28 of the US dollar gdp, it can be ranked fourth after Germany, which is in third place with 25 trillion gdp.”

Simon smiled and said, "Just say 'but', I can hold it."

"But ah," Janet curled her lips, "in just one day, the number dropped to $21 trillion, a drop of about $820 billion in assets, and more will disappear in the future."

Said to have entered the restaurant.

Simon put Janet on the chair, and went over to greet Jennifer and the little guy in the woman's belly, not forgetting the children at the table, and finally took Melbourne to the table together.

In the past, I didn't watch TV much during meals, but today is Oscar, a little exception.

As soon as he sat down, Simon aimed at the open TV screen on the side wall of the dining room.

It happens to be a corner of the Best Costume Design award.

The presenters are Natasha Henstridge and Megan Gale. The two heroines of "Alien 2" just released last Friday. The two women are the presenters. Obviously, there are factors for "Alien 2" to gain exposure. in it.

This is actually the norm.

Careful people who observe each Oscar can easily find some patterns. Except for the nominated filmmakers, most of the other Hollywood stars who participated in the awards ceremony will have new works released in that year.

The stars cheer for the Oscars, and the Oscars expose the stars, which is a win-win situation.

As for the presenters, except that the actor awards are often awarded by the previous generation of heterosexual award-winning actors, and this is not absolute, the presenters of other projects are also not randomly selected by the Oscar Organizing Committee, and they all have their own considerations.

Just like the two generations of alien girls on the stage at this time, they are obviously here to promote the "Xenogeneic 2" that is being released.

Of course, this kind of guest spot is not anyone who wants to get on it, but it still depends on the strength of the network.

The nominations for the Best Costume Award are "The English Patient", "Emma", "Hamlet", "The Color of a Lady" and "Mrs. Veron". After the introduction of the nominations, Natasha Henstridge opened the envelope in her hand , took a look, and turned slightly to Megan Gale next to him. The two girls approached the microphone together to announce the results of the awards. The English Patient.

In the applause, Ann Ross, the costume design director of "The English Patient", got up from the stage, hugged the crew around him one by one, and then took the stage.

In the dining room of Shell Villa, because there were little guys who had begun to understand the words of adults sitting beside them, Janet didn't make fun of someone around her with the two alien girls, but she still curled her lips and said, "The traces of public relations are too obvious."

Of the five nominated films, the other four are ancient costume dramas that pay great attention to the details of costume design, while "The English Patient" is a modern drama. Even if it can't be said that costume design is irrelevant, it's hard to say anything. Now, it happens that this movie has won the Oscar statuette, and bystanders with a little brain can feel that it is tricky.

Simon glanced at a designer who was giving his acceptance speech on the TV screen, and laughed, "It's a bit too much, but after spending so much PR resources, it's inevitable that the judges will vote for "The British Patient". Can't stress that this award doesn't have to be cast, can it?"

Jennifer also said at this time, "Aren't you afraid that the Academy will react sooner or later and deliberately target our movies?"

"I have voluntarily backed down to help them make a balance. If it is aimed at us, it will become a scandal. Moreover, even if the academy wants to manipulate it, it can't actually do it. Thousands of judges, they can't persuade them." Simon said, and added, "What's more, the Oscars are not that important to me. There are so many good films over the years, and I am supporting them."

Jennifer rolled her eyes a little when she heard what her man said so domineeringly.

Janet tilted her head with a smile and touched it on Simon's shoulder, like a pretended nympho that my man is so powerful and I admire.

The awards ceremony on TV continued, and Simon talked about other things. "I talked to Jim, Jeff, Steve today, and it was about cash reserves. From the collapse of the Nasdaq to the beginning of our condor expansion, there must be more In a few months, including the Asian side in the second half of the year. Before that, I want to form a third-party accounting team to conduct a thorough audit of the financial status of each company to really ensure that the cash reserve data we have is true and reliable. ."

This idea is mainly inspired by the bankruptcy cases of WorldCom, Enron and other big companies after the burst of the new technology bubble.

Although Simon has been very strict with the financial supervision of the companies in the Westeros system in recent years, the stall is now too big. If there are no omissions, even Simon himself does not believe it, so he intends to conduct an all-round financial survey of the entire system. .

Simon finished speaking, Jennifer

Just smiled and looked at Janet beside the man.

Janet pretended hesitantly and wanted to whet her husband's appetite, but she didn't think that Melbourne on the other side had already said, "Dad, can nana come to the United States again, nana is the most suitable for this. Jennifer lowered her head slightly, Resisted not laughing out loud.

Janet pretended to be angry and reached over her man to catch the other eldest son's face, pinching and pinching, "I think about nana all day, am I not treating you well?"

Melbourne couldn't understand how it happened to him.

What's more, speaking of conscience, it is actually a very precocious five-year-old boy who thinks that in this family, nana is the best for him. It is said that he was thrown to nana by his parents in just a few months. Take, then my grandfather and grandmother, and Aunt Jenny who is busy with housework all day at Du Meijia Manor.

As for my own parents, alas, not to mention.

Either way...

Fortunately, this time my father finally returned to justice and quickly helped to separate his face from his mother's claws. As for the fact that the mother's claws went to his father's waist, it can only be regarded as not seen.

Janet taught the father and son a lesson one by one, and finally reluctantly said, "I recently talked to Aunt Bing..."

Simon didn't say more.

Melbourne dare not say more.

Jennifer still couldn't help laughing.

Then the dinner was over, and Simon was kicked out of Dumay Point by Janet, probably the kind that didn't have to come back until Easter Sunday.

Annoying to see.

Simon arrives early at the Sunset Tower Hotel, where Melisandre's party will be held as usual, and the awards ceremony continues.

Just after entering the hotel lobby, several girls sitting in the lounge area stood up and walked over. Among them, a slender and tall girl in a white suspender dress walked in front. After approaching Simon, she hesitated until the man smiled. He opened his arms and threw himself into his arms, but it was Zhu Momo.

Simon and the girl who clearly felt a lot thinner in his arms hugged. After a while, the two separated. They found that the girl's eyes were misty, and said with concern, "What's wrong?"

Zhu Momo raised his head in embarrassment, looking like he wanted to take back his tears, with a grievance in his tone: "Simon, I thought you didn't want me anymore"

Simon smiled and said, "I usually don't take the initiative to dump any girl, it's the kind that gets dumped."

Zhu Momo's head turned a little, and he realized some of the meanings in the man's words, but he didn't say much. There are too many women around him. It's not a secret. In her capacity, she can't be bothered, so she just turned sideways, grabbed the man's arm, and introduced the other women who came over. "Simon, this is It's my aunt, Mo Wuling. And sister Ren, Ren Jingxi. In addition, this is An Xiaohan, who is my manager in China."

In fact, there are five girls in total, and the last two are obvious waitresses from the Wei family. Zhu Momo did not introduce them.

Simon didn't mind the obvious difference of intimacy in Zhu Momo's words, smiled and shook hands with Mo Wuling and looked at them.

Mo Wuling is very recognizable, because she is somewhat similar to Mo Yiling and even Zhu Momo, who used to talk to Simon. Moreover, her soft face makes her prettier than Zhu Momo. She is wearing black women's clothes at this time. The suit made her feel a little familiar again, the only difference was that she was not as tall as Zhu Momo.

Ren Jingxi is a girl with a melon face, with a ponytail, also wearing a black women's suit, fair skin, slightly shorter than Mo Wuling, and only about 1.7 meters in high heels, but it must be in China. It belongs to the tall and slender type. Compared to Mo Wuling and An Xiaohan's obvious ability, Ren Jingxi's temperament tends to be weak and somewhat bookish.

According to Simon's standard, more than 80 points.

In the last An Xiaohan, Simon had read the information in advance. At first glance, it gave people the impression that he was smart and capable, with short hair and a temperament face that was very suitable for being a TV host, but Simon's score was only about 75 points. Less than 80 points, because it is too capable, it lacks a bit of feminine softness.

After such a simple greeting, Simon turned to Mo Wuling again and said, "Go back first, don't wait here."

Seeing this young super tycoon face to face for the first time, Mo Wuling couldn't get some thoughts from these days because of some instinctive restraint. Hearing this, he just nodded subconsciously. It wasn't until Simon Westeros entered the elevator with his niece and several other entourage that he reacted.

Ugh!

If the eldest sister knows about this, I don't know if she will kill herself.

However, since Zhu Momo insisted on moving back to the courtyard house in Mao'er Hutong last time, Mo Wuling didn't report to her eldest sister immediately, so she knew that she was on the nephew's thief ship.

Actually, mainly, the boat is too comfortable.

As for the fashion week that just passed, I wish Momo to restart her modeling career. Mo Wuling accompanied him throughout the whole process. It was really hard work. However, from New York to London, from Milan to Paris, food, clothing, housing and transportation were all arranged clearly and clearly. It was a mansion that Mo Wuling had never dared to think about when he grew up. The entrance and exit were also expensive luxury cars. In addition, there was a meticulous team of waiters.

Mo Wuling felt more than once that the money his niece earned from running around for a month must not even be able to pay for a fraction of the expenses during this time.

Such a luxurious life, once immersed in it, no one can extricate himself.

Mo Wuling himself felt a little unable to extricate himself anyway.

Kill it and kill it.

so messy

Thinking about it, Mo Wuling breathed a sigh of relief when the elevator closed not far away, and was about to leave first as ordered by a certain man. When he turned around, he noticed that his college classmate, best friend, and colleague were also watching. The elevator was dazed, patted her with a smile, and joked, "Hey, you're back."

Ren Jingxi was taken aback and recovered, noticing Mo Wuling's teasing smile, his eyes flickered with guilt, and reluctantly calmed down: "We, um, he, let's go back first?"

Mo Wuling didn't think much about it. After all, he was in a similar state just now. He took Ren Jingxi's arm and said, "Yeah, let's go."

While speaking, they did not forget to greet An Xiaohan next to them, and the three daughters left the Sunset Tower Hotel with the other two waitresses from the Wei family.

the other side.

Simon took Zhu Momo into the elevator, measured the increasingly slender figure of the girl next to him again, and asked with concern, "why are you so thin?"

"Because of fashion week, you have to diet to keep your body in shape," Zhu Momo felt the concern of men and felt warm in his heart, and couldn't help but take credit and complain in his words "I have walked 97 shows this fashion week, and every day Work more than 12 hours."

"It's amazing, but you can take good care of it next, it's not good to be too thin."

"Um."

"Besides, did you get into trouble with Jian Xin and the others?"

Zhu Momo wanted to sue, but held back and said, "No, actually, it's because of you that we do different things, and of course we don't have time to get along. Just like this time, Jian Xin and the others are going to Parsons in New York. Studying in the academy, I am a Chinese opera back in China, and I must be separated."

Seeing the girl say this, Simon nodded slightly with a smile. He didn't look into it, but asked again, "How does it feel to be in the Chinese Opera class?"

"Actually, I don't want to go to school, but since you and my mother all let me go to Chinese opera, I can only be obedient."

I wish Momo this is the truth.

If it wasn't for her mother and the man beside her who surreptitiously held the same opinion, she would not have gone to school.

Fortunately, it was just an audition, and only professional classes were given.

Otherwise, Zhu Momo, who has been a scum from childhood to adulthood, would not be able to keep up.

"Oh, you are still young, and your life is so long, you should experience the best you can, otherwise, you will not have the chance to experience it in the future."

Simon said that, in fact, he felt amazing.

That was the once famous Chinese Opera Class 96.

However, privately asked someone to find a list and found that the influence of his big butterfly has spread quite a bit.

Let's just say that this time, the "Eight Golden Hairpins" in the memory of Class 96 of the Chinese Opera, only the international chapter and Zeng Damei are left, and even the most promising of the boys, Liu Shaoye, has disappeared without a trace. The 96th class of Beiying next door is also scattered, and only one Dongchangchanghua is familiar, because Chen Changhua not only has the same qualifications of the Oriental Song and Dance Troupe as Chen Xingwei and Li Youhu, but also the first place in the professional class. Xueba, other Zhao Feite, Huang Jiaozhu, etc., were all swept away.

After chatting like this, the elevator quickly came to the bar on the top floor of the Sunset Tower Hotel.

It's about half past eight.

The Academy Awards Ceremony at the Holy Citizen Auditorium is still half an hour away, and it will take longer for the guests to arrive here. However, at this time, many superstars and celebrities who did not attend the award ceremony have already arrived in the bar. Simon greeted Angela Ahrendts, who hosted the party, and after a few chats, he brought Zhu Momo into the party scene.
