Hollywood Hunter

Although Simon's personal wealth has grown very rapidly, he has never been a person who pursues short-term interests, so naturally he will not reject Sophia's business strategy.

The two discussed briefly, and Simon said again: "In addition, Sophie, you should be able to guess that I have made a lot of money in the Japanese market in the past six months. Therefore, Melisandre can now start looking for others. A luxury brand worth investing in."

Sophia nodded and said: "I have been paying attention to various aspects of the industry. I have some suitable goals, but there is no time to shoot. Moreover, Gucci has great growth potential. I don't think this matter needs to be too urgent. If you invest in companies of the same type, it is easy to cause internal competition. Melisandre’s next phase of expansion should focus on jewelry, watches, wine or high-end cosmetics."

Simon leaned on the sofa and changed a very casual posture, flipped through the documents that Sophia had just had, and said: "You know what you have in mind. Next, I plan to resume my job as a boss as much as possible. I will only be responsible for paying the money, and then wait. result."

Sophia smiled, knowing that Simon had no more thoughts, got up and said, "Then I will help the boss prepare dinner."

"Go, I still remember my job as a housekeeper, and I'll give you one more point."

Sophia gave Simon a light look and said, "I remember all my promises."

Without waiting for Simon's reaction, Sophia stepped on high heels and turned and walked away. Simon's eyes disappeared in the corridor leading to the kitchen with the figure of the housekeeper Miao Man, and he said in his heart a fairy, you wait!

Simon brought a total of eight bodyguards this time, divided into two groups to be responsible for 24-hour security.

There were too many entourages, so Sophia chose a few chefs and servants to take care of everyone's daily life. Simon gradually realized that this kind of thing was inevitable, so he no longer entangled, because in order to enter and leave the main villa, only these people must be female, not too old, not too sorry for the audience in appearance, and not to appear in his vision. It doesn't matter.

Just a short-term part-time job for a week, Sophia joked in private that Simon's requirements were actually very high, but the people they found exceeded Simon's expectations. The two chefs and the two maids are all white women in their 30s and their appearances are also above the standard.

When she first arrived in Milan, the housekeeper secretly told Simon that these women were single, in an instigating tone to seduce someone to make a mistake.

Speaking of it, compared to Simon's current wealth and status, this requirement is nothing at all, and the problem that money can solve is no longer a problem for Simon. Simon has no idea about these vases, which are purely to satisfy visual needs. Some tabloids have long noticed that Simon likes to hire beautiful female college students to help him take care of the house. The reason why it didn't make any waves is because Simon has never seen these girls face to face.

Simon is actually very cautious when it comes to women. He usually doesn't touch women who don't know the foundation, are not smart enough, or may cause trouble for themselves. Of course Simon can handle the trouble now, he just doesn't want to mess with these bad things.

After dinner, everyone gathered in the living room to watch TV and chat. Unknowingly it was late at night, Sophia naturally stayed overnight.

Both Jenny were there, and naturally nothing happened.

After staying in Florence for two days, Simon and his party set off for New York on the afternoon of October 1st, seeing that the time was almost the same.

According to the analyst team of Cersei Capital, the North American junk bond market crisis will break out in the first two weeks of October, because United Airlines will have a $1.5 billion junk bond maturity that needs to be settled in mid-October.

In the previous years, United Airlines issued more than $6 billion in high-risk junk bonds for the merger of several airlines including New York Airlines, People's Rapid Transit, and Border Airlines.

The U.S. economy has not fully recovered after the 87-share disaster. Michael Milken’s investigation also made these companies that need to repeatedly rely on junk bond financing to maintain their operations unsustainable. In addition, United Airlines’ own debt is too large and high. It is difficult to find other financial support besides the risky junk bonds. Therefore, Cersei Capital's team determined that United Airlines is simply unable to fulfill the obligations of paying off these mature bonds and can only choose to default.

Once United Airlines defaults on its debt, it will inevitably trigger a domino effect in the North American junk bond market.

Simon's memory of this crisis is more precise. The "small collapse" after the 87-share disaster occurred on October 13. He also believes that this date will not change much. United Airlines’ bonds need to be paid off on October 16th, because they can’t afford to pay, the company must announce the news before the maturity date no matter what the delay.

October 13th happens to be Friday. The announcement of the breach of contract on this day can give the market a two-day buffer, and it can also reserve a last bit of life for United Airlines: If the federal government intervenes in order to avoid the collapse of the financial market, the United States The United Airlines crisis may be able to resolve. After all, two years ago, the federal government's rescue measures were very timely.

In Simon's view, United Airlines' vision is destined to only become a luxury. The federal government simply cannot save the $200 billion junk bond market.

After being completely separated from the Japanese financial market in early July, for the past three months, Cersei Capital’s No. 6 to No. 10 sub-funds have been secretly deploying the North American bond market. In order to avoid attracting the attention of the market as much as possible, Cersei Capital’s US$5 billion in funds only spent about US$3.2 billion in three months.

Among the various financial derivatives positions, Simon is only familiar with more than 32,000 S&P 500 stock index futures short contracts established in three months. Since it is determined that the North American stock market will collapse in mid-October, the stock index futures will naturally remain unchanged. The most reliable arbitrage product.

In addition, a large number of complex short-selling contracts for the stocks and bonds of single target companies such as Colombian Savings and Credit Bank, United Airlines, American Press Group, Dachson Securities, etc., Simon does not have enough professional knowledge and Give time and energy to both.

This point Janet showed the talent that surprised Simon. Women who are lazy on weekdays can accurately know a series of contracts worth more than 30 billion US dollars under leverage.

Like the operation of the Japanese market, Simon also does not expect Cersei Capital's layout to be absolutely confidential.

However, during this period of time, the North American financial market's short-term activity against junk bonds has obviously been noticed by major financial media, but the information about Cersei Capital's involvement has not been in the newspapers. Obviously, the followers who snooped on the news in private were all cleverly making a fortune.

The two arrived in New York. Janet used the excuse of conducting financial audits of Westeros to start appearing at the Westeros headquarters in Midtown Manhattan every day. In fact, it was to challenge the Cersei capital hidden in Westeros. The fund team conducts direct control. Simon is to pay attention to the filming of "Man and Ghost" and "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" filming in New York, both of which started in August, and are expected to be completed around November.

Lower Manhattan.

In an apartment in Soho District, "Human and Ghosts Are Not Coming" is shooting some clips of the daily life of the hero and heroine.

Simon had already watched the finished samples of the two films for three days and discussed some amendments with the main creator. Today, he spent the whole day watching the filming on the scene of the "Human Ghost Love" crew. The new version of "Human Ghost Love" From the starring to the director, Simon is basically the original crew. Simon doesn't have much concern about the quality of the film.

Close to the end of the afternoon.

Demi Moore ended her last shot of the day, walked to the rest area and sat down next to Simon, and when he finished chatting with the producer on a topic, he interjected: "Simon, the song you picked "Unrestrained Melody" matches The pottery making scene is really classic, and the original soundtrack of this movie will definitely sell like "Bodyguard."

Simon smiled and said, "Is it just an original soundtrack? You have no confidence in this movie."

"Of course not, it will definitely sell out," Demi Moore said with a smile, and said, "I'll get off work soon, do you want to have dinner together tonight?"

Simon shook his head and said, "It's a pity that I have already made arrangements for the evening."

"Then tomorrow night, you won't just stay in Manhattan for one day, right?"

Simon just shook his head again.

Demi Moore shrugged disappointedly. Seeing the producer on Simon's other side voluntarily walked away, the woman came over and whispered: "Simon, in that case, I'm going to the trailer to remove my makeup. Would you like to come together?"

Simon doesn’t want to report something similar to the embarrassment of a certain actor and a certain queen’s affair on the set to get the trailer straight and the whole crew is embarrassed, not to mention the woman next to him who has tried something new, Simon did not involve her too deeply. Mind, so he smiled and said, "Demi, my assistant is coming to send me the information soon. You can only remove the makeup yourself."

Demi Moore was rejected again and still did not give up easily.

If she can establish a romantic relationship with this little man who has already reached the top of the federal wealth and is in power in Hollywood, her next development in Hollywood will definitely be a thoroughfare. Therefore, she persevered in giving Simon a business card with her address and contact information in Manhattan, and seeing the man put it in her pocket, Demi Moore finally got up and left.

The evening was a banquet at the Rebold’s family. It mainly introduced Joseph Schrapp, the head of Schrapp Consulting to Simon. Westeros has confirmed that it will become the political party that provides election investigations and campaign plans for the party. The largest funder of the consulting company, the first $3 million in funds was delivered last month.

Schrapp Consulting also began to provide assistance in the election of New York mayor of David Dinkins supported by Westeros.

The "Federal Election Act" imposes very strict restrictions on US campaign donations. Business groups such as companies and banks prohibit donations to candidates. Individual donations also have various restrictions.

However, over the years, through political action committees and charity election funds, American corporate giants and the rich have never stopped interfering in political campaigns. The two major parties can benefit from it, and naturally they will not actively seek to make up for these obvious loopholes. Instead, they continue to expand.
