Everyone has been busy all afternoon, finally finalizing some press releases to be issued tomorrow.

Simon did not want to get too involved with the Japanese, so in the end he only agreed to publish four clarifications on Cersei Capital in Japan's "Asahi Shimbun", "Yomiuri Shimbun" and North American "Wall Street Journal" and "New York Times". Inside the operation and articles about the Japanese economy.

Of course, the so-called inside information to clarify certainly cannot be 100% true.

The time for Cersei Capital to withdraw from the Japanese market was determined in June. Japanese buying into Cersei Capital’s 1 to 5 sub-fund portfolios is also described as normal securities investment, and there is no hidden information that is not an outsider. . Because Cersei Capital is a private offshore hedge fund, it has no obligation to disclose the details of its operations.

At the same time, Simon also appropriately expressed his optimism about the Japanese economy.

The general view is that there has indeed been a serious bubble component in the Japanese property market in recent years, but there is no doubt that this kind of bubble is supported by a very deep real economy.

Japan's crazy real estate industry has not squeezed the living space of the real economy, and the development of the two are completely incomparable. Only then can the Japanese property market and the stock market have been soaring for years.

Therefore, even if the property market bubble recedes, Japan’s deep accumulation in industries such as automobiles, steel, chemicals, electronics and entertainment is still sufficient to support its strong position as the world’s second largest economy, and this country is still very worthy of investment.

Obviously, these arguments discussed by both parties mean that the Japanese will focus on safeguarding their own real economy after the economic turnaround.

It is undoubtedly a very wise decision to recognize the property market bubble and maintain the real economy.

I invited Haruo Maekawa and his party to have dinner and sent off the Japanese. It was already nine o'clock in the evening.

Janet took a shower, wrapped in a thick cotton bathrobe and stepped on cotton slippers to the living room downstairs. Simon was sitting on the sofa looking through the Nokia company documents from Finland.

Curled up on the sofa comfortably next to Simon, Janet rubbed the man like a kitten and said, "I think it's not good to be too close to the Japanese. You are an American after all."

The current overall tendency of the United States is to suppress the rise of Japan. Simon's obvious ‘contradictory tune’ is indeed a bit wrong on thinking about it carefully.

The side head touched the fluffy blonde hair after Janet was bathed, and sniffing the nice scent of the woman, Simon said: "Of course I know, so after the end of the North American operation, I will liquidate Cersei Capital. , And then re-raise funds, this time it will open up North American capital."

Janet nodded in agreement and asked, "How much money are you planning to raise this time?"

"$3 billion, Australia 1 billion, North America 1 billion, we own 1 billion, but this is just funds used for hedging. If there are no good opportunities, the profitability of hedge funds is actually not too high. I Recently, I am considering transforming Cersei Capital into a comprehensive fund company, which can involve all aspects of corporate mergers and acquisitions, equity investment, and venture capital. Now, take the time to help me think about it."

"Yeah."

The two were chatting, and Jennifer came to the living room after taking care of the kitchen.

After saying hello, Jennifer sat down quietly on the single sofa next to her.

Janet saw that the female assistant picked up a document and read it with satisfaction. She suddenly smiled and leaned into Simon's ear and said, "You can go to Jenny's room tonight."

Janet did not lower her voice at all.

Jennifer's cheeks obviously began to become ruddy, and she subconsciously turned the page of the document in her hand, but because her little hands trembled and made a slight beating, she immediately caused Janet to laugh again, and she just got up and jumped on tiptoe. On the solo sofa where Jennifer was, she forcibly embraced the female assistant and started talking in her ear.

This time he lowered his voice.

Simon just reluctantly ‘warned’, “Don’t make any bad ideas.”

Janet looked up and squeezed her eyes at Simon, and said, "Of course not, it's definitely a very good idea."

Simon simply put down the file and said, "Forget it, I'm going to bed."

Janet chased after smilingly: "Then I will sleep with Jenny tonight?"

"Don't bully Jenny."

Janet shook the female assistant who was still shy and speechless, and said, "Isn't Jenny just for bullying?"

Tomorrow morning, he was flying to Helsinki. Simon ignored Janet's little madness and walked straight to the bedroom upstairs.

After taking a shower, lying on the big bed, and waiting for a while, no woman came back.

Maybe I'm going to bully Jennifer tonight.

Simon simply turned off the light and lay down on the bed.

After a few minutes, without falling asleep, the bedroom door was gently pushed open, only the figure in the glimmer and the slight footsteps that were obviously different from the past, Simon knew that it was not Janet that came in.

The figure came over, sat down by the bed, did not speak, just stretched out a small hand and patted Simon tentatively. Simon stretched out his hand to stop the woman's waist, the body stiffened, and quickly softened, leaning in obediently following his strength.

"Actually, there has been something I want to tell you during this time."

After a while, Simon still spoke first.

Jennifer just hummed.

Simon thought for a while and said, "Probably, next year, I will marry Jenny."

Jennifer was quiet for a while, then hmmed again, but she put a sticker on the man.

Simon suddenly understood something. Perhaps, during this time, both Janet and Jennifer also understood this. This is probably why Janet pushed the female assistant over tonight uncharacteristically.

Together for so long, Simon and Jennifer have been very close, but they have never broken through a certain bottom line.

Simon knows very well that female assistants like him. He has always been very cherish and cautious to those close to him. With a very strong possessiveness, he hopes that they can all live well and have more choices. Therefore, both Sandra and Jennifer carefully kept a certain distance.

At this moment, feeling the warm fragrance of nephrite in his arms, Simon finally stopped hesitating, and leaned in to kiss the female assistant’s lips, and said, “It’s just that tonight. Let’s find a better time.”

Jennifer hummed quickly this time, leaned in boldly, and took the initiative to kiss his lips.

In fact, a large part of the reason why he was able to make up his mind to stay by his side was also because he cherished himself. Knowing that he would give a woman a large check after some ridiculousness, but he has never treated her casually after getting along for so long.

When I got up the next day, two articles on the Asahi Shimbun and Yomiuri Shimbun had already been published in Japan.

Simon and his party took off from Athens Airport at nine o'clock in the morning, and when they arrived in Helsinki, local time was less than 12 noon. The signing ceremony for Westeros' acquisition of Nokia's mobile communications equipment division was held at two o'clock in the afternoon.

The final transaction price determined by both parties is US$200 million. At the same time, Westeros will inject US$50 million into Nokia for the development of digital mobile phones and GSM communication equipment.

Speaking of, Nokia's name is also a focus of this negotiation.

At this time, Nokia is still a comprehensive enterprise group involving many fields, its business includes paper, rubber, television and other aspects.

Originally, the name must be changed after the acquisition in accordance with the usual practice. However, Simon still likes the name Nokia very much.

After some bargaining, it was finally determined that Nokia's mobile communications equipment division was reorganized as Nokia Electronic Communications Technology Company. At the same time, Nokia's other businesses remained the same.

Nokia Electronic Communication Technology Company can still be referred to as Nokia.

The two parties also agreed that Nokia's future business scope is limited to the research and development and manufacturing of mobile communication-related equipment. The same is true for Nokia's other businesses. Both parties shall not be involved in the other's business, otherwise it will be regarded as a breach of contract.

In addition, Simon continued to hire the former head of Nokia's mobile communications equipment department, Yoma Ollila, as the president and CEO of Nokia Electronic Communications Technology, responsible for the company's operations. Joma Ollila officially developed Nokia from a company limited in a corner of Finland to a world-class electronics giant.

After spending two days at Nokia's headquarters in Espoo, all this was finalized, and Simon and his team left Finland and returned to North America.

It is already December 5th.

Simon agreed to Don Johnson and Melanie Griffiths to participate in Dakota Johnson's baptism ceremony on December 9. The North American side once again accumulated a lot of things that need to be handled by Simon himself.

The other side.

Monday, December 4.

The Japanese stock market just started to fall because of a large number of selling orders. As of Monday afternoon, the Nikkei 225 index fell from 40039 points at the close of last Friday to 39,811 points.

The market fell by 228 points in a single day, which was actually only 0.56%. This outcome was far better than the Japanese government's expectations.

Obviously, because of the timely recovery measures taken by the Japanese government, Simon's statement in the major mainstream media in North America and Japan also played a role in alleviating market panic. Therefore, although the turnaround of the Japanese stock market could not be avoided, it did not experience the sharp plunge that many people expected.

The situation was stabilized on the first day of the opening, and the subsequent response was easier.

Immediately afterwards, on December 6, a new issue of Time magazine was released. Simon, as the man of the year in Time magazine this year, logged on the cover of this long-established current affairs magazine, which once again attracted media attention and enthusiasm. Discussion.

"Time" Weekly's comment on Simon becoming the Man of the Year this year is "created an amazing miracle of wealth with an unparalleled speed".

After the news about Cersei Capital's inside story broke out last Friday, Time magazine, which had already completed an interview with Simon, temporarily added some quotations from those newspaper press releases. Because of the tremendous influence of the "Time" Weekly Man of the Year, the Japanese stock market even experienced a short rebound after the opening day of the new weekly magazine.

In the end, as of December 8, the Nikkei 225 index fell by only 636 points in a week, which was only 1.6% lower than the high of 40,000 points or more last Friday.

Although the downward trend of the Japanese stock market has been irreversible, the rush to come after the inside story of Cersei Capital's operation was reported last Friday has completely disappeared.

After Simon publicly stated his position in several newspapers on Monday, he stopped making any public remarks on this matter.

Returning to North America, Simon's first stop was New York.

During the return journey with James Rebold and his party, Simon and James discussed the next phase of Westeros' plans to increase its holdings in technology stocks.

The acquisition of Nokia also consumed Cersei Capital’s overseas capital. Daenerys Entertainment has been continuously funding Westeros for the past six months. The North American stock market’s “small collapse” in October also caused a lot of The stock price of technology stocks is going down.

Moreover, Windows3.0 will be released in May next year, and Microsoft has officially gained market approval with this operating system, and the stock price has since taken off.

Therefore, the last few months are also the last time for Westeros to increase its holdings of Microsoft stock at a lower price.

Simon intends to increase Westeros' shareholding in both Microsoft and Intel to 15%.

As long as this goal can be achieved, based on the peak market value of the two companies in 2000 that totaled more than US$100 billion, only these stocks can bring Simon US$150 billion in wealth in the future.

Back in Los Angeles, Nancy Brill told Simon that Nintendo had actively contacted Daenerys Entertainment to give Blizzard Studios a special quota. In addition, Nancy also took the opportunity to reach an understanding with Nintendo in acquiring EA.

However, the acquisition negotiations with EA were not smooth.

Daenerys Entertainment wants to take over EA in order to obtain a complete PC game production and distribution platform. Although EA shareholders have given a very positive response to Daenerys Entertainment’s contact, the other party does not want to sell to Daenerys Entertainment, but tends to only allocate a portion of the shares from the major shareholders for sale. Entertain Daenerys.

After several negotiations, Nancy determined that the maximum shareholding that Daenerys Entertainment can obtain is about 35%, which is equivalent to the company's shareholding in Blockbuster.

At the same time, with this batch of stocks, Daenerys Entertainment can also become EA's largest shareholder, almost owning EA's absolute control. According to Nancy's judgment, most of EA's shareholders don't mind transferring control to Daenerys Entertainment. They only hope that they can continue to obtain more benefits from their holdings in EA.

Blizzard Studio is only a "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" is expected to make more than 100 million US dollars in net profit, this decision by EA shareholders is not surprising.

After discussion, this is probably the least costly and gentlest investment plan.

Negotiations between the two parties have always been kept secret. Once the news becomes public, Daenerys Entertainment seeks to merge EA by malicious mergers and acquisitions, and EA’s stock price will definitely double in the short term.

Simon did not want to buy EA at an unreasonable price, so he decided to accept this shareholding plan.

EA will definitely continue to expand in the future. As long as it takes control of this company, Daenerys Entertainment can increase its shareholding in this company in many ways in the future.
