Chapter 1322 : Invoke the Teacher to Ask the Crime?

"I remember you two said that you plan to start your own fashion brand, when do you plan to do it?"

"Simon, we haven't finished our courses at Parsons College yet. Besides, Yuelei and I also found that this matter is not easy. We still focus on modeling for the time being."

After the lively Anna Sui show, there was another lively after-party.

Simon was chatting with Jian Xin and Tao Yuelei about creating his own brand. Hearing what Jian Xin said, he just smiled and didn't intend to mention it. The fashion circle ebbs and flows, many people are trying to create their own brands, but there are only a handful of successful ones, and very few people have turned from supermodels to designers and achieved success.

It was expected that the two girls retreated unknowingly. At present, they are just doing their own jobs, and they can earn millions of dollars every year. Why bother to change careers.

After all, people are lazy and want to stay within their comfort zone.

While chatting casually, Zhu Momo, who had changed his clothes, also came over, and Mo Wuling was still following behind him.

Zhu Momo threw herself into Simon's arms, hugged and hugged, kissed and kissed, and finally greeted Jian Xin with Simon's arms as if eating alone. Immediately, Jiang Mi, who is 187 cm tall and easily overwhelms Zhu Momo, who likes to wear and hate the sky, and Shen Gui, who has short hair but is charming, also came together.

Qin Buzui is still in China.

Compared with Jian Xin, Tao Yuelei, Jiang Mi, and Shen Gui, who were concentrating on developing their own careers, and Zhu Momo, who was forced by her mother to study in China and only occasionally came out for business, Qin Buzui retired completely, and seemed to have no intention of continuing at all. The appearance of studying with peace of mind in the modeling career. However, this girl was different from Ren Jingxi, she showed no sign of wanting to leave Simon.

It can only be said that a woman's mind is hard to guess.

It was discovered that Simon was surrounded by a group of oriental goblins, and a group of western goblins who felt more and more threatened soon came forward, including tonight's finale Claudia Schiffer, Carla Bruni and other supermodels and... In the post-Victoria Secret era, Angela Lindelwald, Michelle Alves and other goblins who rose rapidly because of Simon.

In addition, celebrities such as Cindy Crawford and Stephanie Seymour inevitably cast their eyes on this side.

At the sideshow party, facing such a scene, not only the men are jealous, but even the women are inevitably scratching their hearts.

However, it can only be eye-catching.

Who let there be only one Simon Westeros in this world.

In the end, Simon was snatched from the goblin group by Chen Qing, and introduced to her boss Xie Qingtai and other three girls who had specially called out for the big show to improve her style. Here it is, sent directly to Linhai Manor in Sandian City.

After dinner Simon decided to spend the night there tonight.

Suddenly being called to the United States to participate in Fashion Week, the three daughters Xie Qingtai, Yu Xiaomin and Jing Xiaosui were already a little flattered. Seeing Simon, the three girls became even more trembling. He simply sent them away in advance, and told his entourage to send them directly to the manor in Sandian City.

Chen Qing also took the initiative to leave, saying that she would not disturb her boss, Wanhuazhongguo.

The following entertainment tends to be normal.

Simon and tonight's main host, Anna Sui, and Angela Ahrendts, who had already been promoted to the president of Melisandre Company, came from Europe to preside over the arrangements of Fashion Week, and others repeated their greetings.

Just after talking to Stephanie Seymour and her publisher and collector husband, Peter Brant, and turning down the couple's invitation to a party, three similar-looking women, not even tall, walked away Here, it's Kathy Hilton and her two younger sisters, Kyle Richards and Kim Richards.

After a few words of greeting with a smile, Simon noticed the obvious anxiety in the expressions of the three sisters. Cathy Hilton was better, and Kyle Richards and Kim Richards were obviously driven by their sisters. .

After understanding something, he motioned to the sofa booth on the side of the hall. Simon walked over with the three women. When he sat down, he patted his side and said to the two little Richards: "Come on, sit here .”

Kyle Richards and Kim Richards glanced at their sister at the same time, and sat down obediently together.

So there was only Cathy Hilton, who was alone and alone, on the opposite side of the booth.

While Simon asked the waiter to change the drinks, Cathy Hilton quickly glared at the two unyielding younger sisters. When the man opposite turned around, she immediately changed her expression again. When she saw the man handing herself a glass of cocktail, she got up again and again to thank her .

When the waiter left, Simon leaned on the sofa relaxedly, with one free hand casually embracing Kyle Richards on one side, and looked at Cathy Hilton on the opposite side: "So, Cathy, there is What's the matter?"

Cathy Hilton glanced at the strange hand that the man had landed on her sister's waist. She took a sip of her cocktail and said, "Simon, I want to talk about Paris and Nikki."

"Um?"

Seeing the slightly raised eyebrows of the man opposite, Cathy Hilton hurriedly said, "I, Simon, I don't want to pursue anything, it's just that Paris and Nikki are still young, Simon, I hope you can understand, yes, Treat them with love."

Simon nodded: "I understand."

Kyle Richards, who was stiff and limp and tense because of the man's private movements, wanted to roll his eyes at what his sister said. She had persuaded her sister more than once in advance not to talk about this matter with Westeros, not to talk about this matter with Westeros... Now, what is this?

Saying is tantamount to not saying.

And, not yet

Do you know if it will backfire?

Seeing that Cathy Hilton is very interesting, Simon didn't let the atmosphere fall into a cold spot. He took the initiative to talk about "The Wife of New York", which has been broadcast again after the winter break, and said that if Cathy Hilton has any good TV show ideas, he can Take the initiative, such as doing a special Hilton family reality show or something.

In the end, she directly stated that if Cathy Hilton had any daily needs, she could also contact Angourie Davis, the east coast housekeeper of the Westeros family.

The three sisters of Richards all climbed up from the bottom step by step, relying on child stars to become famous, and then became famous ladies. In the end, the eldest sister Cathy Hilton successfully married into a wealthy family, which is considered the most successful one. Because of their enthusiasm and instinctive awe for money and power, there was no intention to pursue the matter of the Hilton sisters at Sundance tonight.

They also heard about a certain golden retriever being pruned.

With such a promise from Simon, even Cathy Hilton did not have any dissatisfaction.

After all, the so-called rich family of the Hilton family is actually far less glamorous than others imagined. Barron Hilton, who currently controls most of the Hilton family's wealth, can't even enter the Forbes 400 Rich List in the United States, so it can be seen.

Kyle Richards and Kim Richards couldn't help but become more and more eager when they heard the man's promise to his eldest sister.

Kim Richards waited for Simon to finish speaking, and couldn't help it. She leaned against her petite body and said, "Simon, it's too noisy here. Why don't we find another place to have a few drinks?"

Hearing what the woman beside him said, Simon raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Cathy Hilton: "Cathy, what do you mean?"

Cathy Hilton subconsciously grabbed the bag next to her, thinking of her two daughters, she shook her head and said, "I, you guys, go, I have to go home."

Kyle Richards followed suit: "Isn't Charlie on a business trip, it doesn't matter if you go back later."

Cathy Hilton's husband, Richard Hilton, works in the Hilton Group, because it is a global hotel chain, and often travels around the world.

Seeing that the two younger sisters were about to push themselves into the fire pit, Cathy Hilton didn't think about a certain man any more. She waited for the two of them and looked at Simon again: "I have to go back and take care of Nikki and the others. Look, they always go to bed late and miss tomorrow's class."

Simon smiled and said, "It's simple, I'll have someone pick them up later."

Kathy Hilton: "…"

Before Cathy Hilton could say anything else, Simon summoned a bodyguard not far away, gave some instructions in a low voice, and then told the three women to leave first, and he would arrive later.

There is always something to cover up on the surface.

The next day was February 17th.

Tuesday.

Simon didn't go to the manor in Sandpoint City last night, but another mansion also located in Glen Cove, a town near Sandpoint City, Long Island. Most of them are in the suburbs and relatively private.

Because the five big and small women in the bedroom are very exciting, it is rare to get up late.

When I left the bedroom, it was already past eight o'clock.

After breakfast, on the way to Manhattan by helicopter, Simon received a very important message.

Indonesia changed the "floating exchange rate system" that abandoned the protection of the exchange rate during the most turbulent financial turmoil last year to the "linked exchange rate system" and implemented financial controls in disguise.

This approach is exactly the same as the measures taken by Hong Kong last year, which has aroused once again one-sided condemnation from European and American governments, banks and media.

The cause and effect are very simple, the Asian financial turmoil has never passed.

During this period of time, international financial speculators who took a brief hiatus during the New Year's Eve once again launched an attack on Asia, and the first target was the Indonesian rupiah.

At the beginning of 1997, the exchange rate of the Indonesian rupiah against the US dollar was still at the level of 2,300 to 1. On Monday local time yesterday, after a rapid decline that lasted for more than half a year, the exchange rate of the Indonesian rupiah against the US dollar fell to a record low of 15,000 to 1. , the cumulative depreciation rate was as high as 85%, which was even deeper than the decline of the won exchange rate in the worst period at the end of last year.

Indonesian rupiah has almost become a waste paper.

When the exchange rate fell below the 15,000 to 1 mark, the Indonesian authorities and the International Monetary Fund have been continuing secret negotiations and have been unable to reach an agreement, and finally decided to follow Hong Kong.

Upon arriving in Manhattan, Simon organized a special meeting and had a phone call with Soros to discuss the current economic situation in Asia.

Simon doesn't care about Indonesia.

However, the Asian side can be said to affect the whole body, so it is impossible for Simon not to pay attention.

After discussion, the result is that it is difficult for Indonesia's measures to be effective.

Because the problems in Indonesia and Hong Kong are different.

Hong Kong has sufficient foreign exchange reserves and is backed by the mainland, with very little foreign debt. Indonesia, on the other hand, gave up its protection of the exchange rate last year due to the depletion of foreign exchange reserves. In just half a year, it is impossible to accumulate much money. On the other hand, Indonesia has a total of 180 billion U.S. dollars in various debts.

Obviously, more like Korea.

On the other hand, Indonesia has changed its floating exchange rate system to a pegged exchange rate system similar to that of Hong Kong. The seemingly disguised exchange rate control has no corresponding and decisive financial measures to assist it. The market is still trading, but its own side has no bargaining chips. So doomed.

In fact, it is difficult for international financial speculators to gain too much direct profit from harvesting Asia.

Simon talked to Soros about this last year.

Hong Kong one

After the station, the peak of international financial speculators has passed.

The core purpose of the current actions is more to push Southeast Asian countries to completely open their financial doors and implement complete financial liberalization. Even, a little deeper, to promote the return of the dollar and stimulate the US economy.

For ordinary people, this statement inevitably has elements of conspiracy theory.

In fact, this is the real outcome of the aftermath of the 1998 financial crisis, on both timelines.

Not to mention that after the Asian financial turmoil, the Nasdaq index began to soar rapidly for two years. This time, the new technology bubble burst in March last year. The trough period lasted less than a year. picked up. Since the beginning of the year, the Nasdaq index has rebounded from the lowest point of about 3100 points to the current point above 3400 points. In more than a month, the cumulative increase is close to 10.

After paying attention to the affairs in Asia, Simon organized a video conference on the same day to discuss with Silicon Valley the relevant countermeasures for the early recovery of the Internet industry.

So busy, it's Friday in a blink of an eye.

Another box office week in Hollywood is over, and it's also the last day of New York Fashion Week.

In terms of movies, "Titanic", as everyone expected, once again achieved a sharp drop in the box office this Valentine's Day box office week, and regained its position as the box office champion. In the 9th week of its release, the box office not only did not drop, Instead, it rose as high as 34, earning $38.93 million, from $29.06 million which fell below 30 million last week, and almost broke through the 40 million mark again.

In the 10th week of its release, the cumulative box office of "Titanic" once again reached a high of 456.04 million US dollars.

Last week, "The Blair Witch", which briefly won the weekly box office championship, performed quite well in such a popular Valentine's Day schedule. After the first week of 35.73 million US dollars, the second week fell by only 17, earning 29.67 million US dollars, and the cumulative box office quickly Rushed to $65.4 million.

For this ultra-low-budget pseudo-documentary film, the first week was 35.73 million US dollars. At a time when saturated distribution is becoming more and more common, it is not a failure, but it is not too successful.

The key is next week.

Now, the next week's drop is only 17. Even because of Valentine's Day, this second pseudo-documentary, which was highly anticipated by Daenerys Entertainment after "Ghost Story", still delivered a very good result.

Subsequently, last week's other two small films, "The 54 Club" and "The Last Disco", respectively achieved a box office of 9.76 million US dollars and 8.31 million US dollars. All quite impressive.
