Chapter 1537: October
When she woke up in the morning, she secretly glanced at the man beside her who was being dressed by two waitresses. Rachel Weisz had some small self-doubts, could she not escape?
Still can't run away with Kate.
When the man left the bedroom, Rachel, who had been pretending to be asleep, sat up and pushed Kate Beckinsale on the other side. Kate always had a satisfied ruddy posture in her sleep, feeling her pushing, Just hummed a few times, turned around and continued to sleep.
Very relaxed.
Rachel can only continue to sleep, because this is a mansion of that man, on the Hollywood Hills east of Beverly, there is a certain Hollywood sign, and she doesn't know where it is.
Anyway, worried about waking up alone, being met by some guy, and having another morning workout.
Some guy is quite a beast.
Um.
After about half an hour, he still had to get up after all, as if he was guarded by a maid beside him, he sensed the movement and took the initiative to come in. Rachel said no, but they insisted, and then because of some of their actions, they understood , and was stared at for taking certain pills.
Rachel was a little angry and aggrieved, but seeing Kate's calm expression, she still accepted it.
Then she changed her clothes and came to the living room. Rachel had made up her mind to protest to him face to face, but she didn't expect that there were other people there, two women.
So I got even more angry in my heart. I only met the two of them last night, and it was still breakfast time.
In fact, the two new girls also know Lena Kane and Anne Cather, who have been quite prominent in Hollywood in the past two years.
After all, they are all in this circle, and they don't see each other when they look up. Moreover, everyone is well aware of the relationship between the two girls and a certain man.
Kate didn't have a seizure, and greeted the two girls warmly. Rachel felt that she should be more polite, so she could only greet them together. Of course, it is still necessary to show some indifference.
Everyone sat down, chatted for a while, and learned that the man was discussing a new thriller idea with the two girls.
The name is Horror Cruise.
While eating breakfast, Rachel probably understood that this was another typical Hollywood story about playing with time. However, if you listen carefully, it turns out that it is a poor single mother caught in repeated reincarnations. Because of a car accident, she does not want to believe that her son is dead, so her soul repeatedly repeats a certain day.
It's like Sisyphus in Greek mythology who repeatedly pushed the stone to the top of the mountain and then dropped it.
The more Rachel listened, the more interested she became. As an actor with great artistic pursuits, she felt that this kind of film was at least much better than those popcorns that didn't have any nutrition.
So he hesitated a few times, and was about to speak, Kate beside him had already spoken, and asked for this role in a few words.
Rachel didn't fight anymore, some grievances surfaced in her heart again, and then she vented her anger on a certain man.
asshole.
Simon is also a disaster.
All right.
They all slept others, of course not innocent, so after breakfast, when saying goodbye to the four girls, seeing Rachel rejecting his hug, and being teased by Kate's eyes, she just smiled and didn't force it.
For this breakfast, the story of the horror cruise was given to Lena and Annika. Kate is willing to participate, which is naturally better. As the actress of Charlie's Girl, Kate is popular enough and beautiful, better than the original Melissa George. a lot of. As for the original girl I met last time, Simon can only regret that her reputation is too low.
In fact, I can also see Rachel's eagerness to try. Because of the success of the Titanic, Rachel's reputation is naturally much higher than Kate's. However, since she didn't take the initiative to speak, Kate took the lead again. No one has any objections. Simon can't say anything more. He slept next to him last night, so he can't be partial.
The schedule is basically set, next year's Halloween.
However, after all, it’s a bit brain-burning, and Simon doesn’t have high expectations for the box office. Therefore, even if Kate participates, Simon still requires the cost to be controlled within 25 million U.S. dollars, and the expected better box office result is only 50 million. Rely on follow-up video tapes and other peripherals.
After saying goodbye to the girls, Simon rushed to the airport and flew to the east coast in his own Boeing 767.
This time the destination is Boston, first visit two Ukrainian women and two little guys.
It was already past three o'clock in the afternoon on the east coast when we arrived in Boston, and the summer was long, so we simply settled down in Ulyana's villa, stayed here at night, and then went to play golf with Maria's three boys, until evening.
Evening is a reception.
It was held at Harvard University in the name of a foundation run by two women. On the surface, it was aimed at a student charity project in the Yugoslavia region that had just experienced war, but in fact it was a gathering of celebrities from all walks of life in Massachusetts.
Maria is a relatively homely type, so this kind of thing is done by Ulyana, who is good at dancing and just likes it. Unknowingly, around Boston, Ulyana can be regarded as creating a place in Massachusetts. Not a small Weijia network.
It is similar to Chen Qing and Lin Su in China.
However, this is what Simon did deliberately. After all, if the women who get together are all ambitious, who will take care of the children? Or, they all belong to the family type, and it is impossible to teach the children to be nerds and nerds anyway.
Speaking of this, Simon is inevitably a little upset.
It has already entered October, and the six women after the absurdity at the beginning of the year are expected to give birth after mid-October.
Thinking about it is a bit tangled.
Well, the cause and a bunch of fruits that you planted by yourself have to be endured.
What's more, Simon came over this time and discussed something with Maria, asking her to bring another child next time.
Heidi Klum that.
The woman didn't object either.
Simon also made a decision after careful consideration.
First of all, on the Dumeijiao side, Janet said directly, no. It wasn't anything else, but she felt that if the mother was so stupid, the little guy born might not be smart, and she couldn't stand it.
the reason
Well, in fact, Simon didn't think about putting it in Cape Dumei Manor. After thinking about it, Maria was the most suitable.
The two little guys of the two women here, Ulyana's Michael and Maria's Daniel, are over two years old. The women teach the children very well, no less than those at Cape Dume Manor, and Simon also Don't think about anything else.
Stayed one night in Boston with two women before flying to New York early the next morning.
After getting off the plane, I went directly to the headquarters of Cersei Capital in midtown Manhattan to attend the 1999 third quarter summary meeting here.
Janet has always been in charge of controlling the overall situation of Cersei Capital. Simon knows some general trends and has accumulated a lot of professional knowledge over the years, but if he goes deeper, he will definitely not be able to control it. Leave it to a professional to do it.
The first is Cersei Fund Management.
In the past quarter, or in other words, in the past six months, Cersei Fund Management Company, which is still mainly in charge of financial hedging business, has achieved very rich returns. The wild swings of the Kosovo war and the recurring financial turmoil in Latin America last month.
Generally speaking, hedge funds must have profits and losses, after all, it is inevitable to bet in the wrong direction.
Of course, the team of Cersei Fund Management Co., Ltd. will inevitably stumble a little bit, but they will basically not miss some key projects or nodes, such as the continuous downward trend of the euro, such as the sudden plunge of oil prices in the first half of the year, such as the financial shock in Brazil .
As for the reason, Cersei Fund Management Company is backed by the Westeros system. At the moment, the Westeros system is completely a player-level existence that can influence the trend of the chessboard, and is no longer a chess piece, so of course it has enough information channels to make certain accurate judgments.
That's right, formally speaking, it's a shady scene.
Whenever all kinds of bad things broke out in the Chinese stock market, it was inevitable to hear what would happen if it was the US stock market or if it was the Western stock market. This kind of thing would definitely not happen to other people.
However, after being in this world for so many years, if he can't understand certain things, and no matter how much he follows others, then he will not be able to reach his current position.
Where there are people, there is a practice. - Lu Xun.
In short, it is foolish to have enough resources and not use them.
Not only that, compared to some wild ways, the Cersei Capital team can achieve perfect compliance and will not leave any grounds for criticism.
No need.
I really don't like those wild little money here.
Then there's Apollo Management.
In recent years, there have been frequent major transactions. Whether it is the acquisition and expansion of various fields within the Westeros system all over the world, or the re-merger of Exxon and Mobil, which have always been disconnected, Apollo Management Company has participated. .
Not only assisting in the merger, but also using their own capital to obtain low-priced equity in the transaction, so as to cash out profits in the future.
At present, Apollo Management Company is secretly planning two major acquisitions.
The first one is home.
Skoop's acquisition of Qualcomm is generally smaller, at the level of US$60 billion.
It is currently in the planning stage before launching the acquisition, and it is expected to be officially launched in November.
The other one is also closely related to the Westeros system. After all, not only Black Rock, but also the headquarters of Westeros Corporation has a large proportion of direct shares in both companies, and it is another 100 billion-dollar level. big merger.
Pfizer plans to acquire Warner Lambert.
As the U.S. stock market continues to rise, the market value of Pfizer has recently reached 130 billion U.S. dollars, and Warner Lambert’s market value has also rushed to more than 80 billion U.S. dollars. The combined market value of the two companies has exceeded 210 billion U.S. dollars.
As long as this merger can be completed, the commission alone will be enough to increase the profit figures of Apollo Management Company by a large margin.
Similarly, the Apollo team will not be limited to serving as M&A consultants, but will still use capital to participate.
The preliminary work of this acquisition has been completed, and within the next week, Pfizer will formally start secret negotiations with Warner Lambert.
For these two major mergers and acquisitions, here is full of confidence.
Because of the biggest hurdle, in Washington, as Clinton has passed all the important thresholds of his two presidential careers, he no longer needs to be so cautious about mergers and acquisitions of large companies that may involve monopoly.
What's more, the relationship between the White House and the Westeros system has always been good.
As for Congress, it was originally a check and balance force, but at the moment, both houses of Congress are in the hands of the Republican Party, not to mention that the Republican Party itself has a tendency to relax.
The tendency of corporate regulation, after the past few congressional elections, the influence of the Westeros system on Congress is actually deeper than that of the White House.
Speaking of it, even without mentioning this time and space, in the past, after the Microsoft antitrust case in 2000 actually ended in the failure of the Washington authorities, in the new century, the US government has basically restricted the expansion of large capital. Nothing substantive has been done.
The inside is that capitalism, after the end of the Cold War, has no confrontation between East and West, and it really belongs to capitalism.
Therefore, it is inevitable that Simon occasionally thinks of a certain statement from the past.
Roughly speaking, the West is the largest opposition party in China, constantly pushing China to make continuous progress. Similarly, before the 1990s, the Soviet Union could also be said to be the largest opposition party in the West, or in other words, the two camps were mutual opposition parties.
In the end, after one party collapsed, the other party lost its restraint, and began to trust the horse, and ran to an unknown distance in just thirty years.
Finally, there is Black Rock Asset Management.
It is estimated that before the end of this year, the total assets managed by Black Rock Asset Management Company worldwide will reach 3 trillion US dollars. This alone shows the status of Black Rock on Wall Street.
Even if many of the assets are only affiliated, even compared to the other two brother companies, because of its own size, it is not so easy for Heiyan to make big moves, or there is no big move at all. And the routine buying and selling of the bond market honestly earns a small amount of commissions, but compared with the other two brother companies, Black Rock's impact on the US and even the global economy is decisive.
For example, if Simon needs a stock market crash in the United States right now, then using the power of Black Rock, a stock market crash can happen in the United States.
Of course, this is just an assumption.
Just like nuclear weapons, they will definitely not be used unless they are absolutely necessary. And once used, it will destroy the world.
Simon has never forgotten how dazzling his current wealth is in the eyes of many people.
However, Simon also knows that it is impossible for him to voluntarily give up everything he has now. If someone wants to forcibly snatch it, in the most extreme case, Simon doesn't mind dragging the entire world economy to be destroyed together.
It's even okay to remove the two suffixes of "economy" that actually seem redundant.
Outside of work, I still surround myself with a group of women and children.
At noon, I dined with Grace and a certain little guy, and went to Irene Lauder's place in the evening, and was dragged by the woman to socialize in the circle of the Upper East Side until late at night.
The weekend passed, and the next day was Monday.
The schedule remains as usual.
Not to mention other vases, there are six other women with big bellies here, and they are all about to give birth. Simon, who is about to be a father, always shows up in front of all the women.
