Hollywood Hunter

After leaving JFK Airport, the group did not return to Manhattan, but rushed to Greenwich, Connecticut, which is next to New York.

Greenwich City, located 30 kilometers northeast of Manhattan, has nothing to do with Greenwich Village in Midtown Manhattan. If you have to care about it, you can only attribute it to the lack of naming talents of Westerners.

Compared to Greenwich Village, where artists gather, Greenwich City is a wealthy neighborhood with the same reputation as the Upper East Side of Manhattan and East Hampton on Long Island. Moreover, many wealthy people often have properties in the Upper East Side and the surrounding Greenwich and East Hamptons. They usually live in the Upper East Side on weekdays and return to their suburban houses on rest days.

In private, Janet has been helping Simon buy real estate. While living in New York a few days ago, he once again bought a manor in Greenwich.

Not only that, Janet is still looking for real estate on the east and west coasts of the United States, such as Las Vegas, Chicago, Boston, Washington, Miami and other cities. Simon's current net worth is enough to support his original vision of real estate all over the world.

Sophia Faisy bought a property in Greenwich before coming to the United States, intending to let the children go to school there. As a wealthy area, Greenwich undoubtedly has the best educational resources on the East Coast.

It just so happened that the party Simon was invited to attend tonight was also in the Hearst family mansion near Greenwich.

The car traveled through the developed highway network on the east coast and entered the Greenwich area in less than an hour. The property Sofia bought for the children is near the center of Greenwich, and Simon's manor is in the northern suburbs. After an appointment for lunch by the senior housekeeper tomorrow at noon, everyone will separate.

Simon and his party left the center of Greenwich and drove north along the asphalt road for about five kilometers to a manor in the suburbs.

Outside the manor is a symbolic low stone wall, but the terrain is obviously higher than the paved road next to it, and it is difficult for pedestrians and vehicles to peek inside.

Inside the low walls, dense bushes and tall trees further conceal the interior scene of the manor. These vegetation has not been taken care of, as Simon saw when he went to East Hampton for the Steve Rose’s party last time. It's completely different. The mansions in the East Hampton area all have neatly trimmed hedgerows, and the vegetation on the Greenwich side remains natural.

Simon has always been more inclined to a sense of order in his bones, but he didn't mean to change the layout of the manor here.

Maintaining a natural state is actually a kind of order.

The manor covers an area of ​​more than 30 acres, which is equivalent to 12 hectares. The overall shape is an irregular quadrilateral. The north-south length is close to 500 meters, and the east-west boundary varies in length. The narrowest part of the northern boundary is less than 100 meters. It is next to a lake and the south The border is next to an east-west asphalt road, more than 400 meters long.

Simon and his team entered the manor from the west entrance. Most of the interior of the manor is covered with vegetation of varying heights. Driving inward along the curved asphalt corridor for about two hundred meters, a European-style villa with blue roof and white walls appears. In front of him, there is an annex building seven or eight meters away from the east side of the main villa, which is obviously the residence of servants and servants.

Three cars stopped in front of the main villa, and a group of girls in uniform black suits greeted them.

Janet immediately followed Simon to get out of the car, took the man's arm and gestured to the seven girls who walked forward with a smile, saying: "This is the housekeeper team of our real estate in North America in the future. I personally picked it, it's pretty. Sophia is personally responsible for the European side."

Simon nodded, looking at the seven tall and fair-skinned girls who came before him, and subconsciously said: "It seems too young."

Janet grabbed Simon's arm with dissatisfaction: "That's it, if you are not satisfied, pick it yourself, I don't care."

The two whispered small things, and the short-haired girl who walked in the front with a delicate face and a slightly cold temperament had reached out to Simon and said: "Hello, Mr. Westeros, I am Alice Ferguson."

Simon and the girl shook hands and said, "It's nice to meet you, Alice."

After saying hello, Alice Ferguson turned slightly to the side and took the initiative to help Simon introduce the other six beautiful girls behind her with obvious expressions eager to try, and said: "Mr. Westeros, they are Mira, Emilia, Naomi, Doris, Isabel, Zoe."

Quickly introducing them one by one, the new housekeeper turned to face Simon again and said, "Mr. Westeros, I will show you this villa."

Simon watched with interest the other girls whose names weren't even introduced by Alice Ferguson, who were obviously daring to speak but nodded with a smile, and said, "Okay."

Janet kept smiling. Hearing Alice Ferguson's words, he let go of Simon and said, "You can go in first. I will arrange for them to pack up."

Simon did not refuse, and walked towards the villa first. Alice Ferguson followed Simon step by step.

The two walked into the villa, and Simon looked around. The size of this villa was about the same size as Simon’s villa on the hillside of Palisades in Los Angeles. The two-storey villas with high ceilings are higher than some ordinary three-story buildings. The hall has only one floor space, and the gorgeous crystal chandelier hangs directly on the dome.

The interior of the villa presents a pure white decoration style, and the home decoration has obviously been changed, all of which belong to the simple style that Simon likes.

Simply looking left and right, Simon walked to the second floor along the spiral staircase on the west side.

Alice Ferguson still followed Simon, without any intention to introduce it.

On the second floor, Simon smiled and stood in front of a painting painted by Janet herself on the wall of the corridor, and said, "How old are you this year?"

"27 years old."

"Which university did you graduate?"

"Princeton."

Simon retracted his gaze and continued to walk to the side of the corridor, with some dissatisfaction in his tone: "What then?"

Alice Ferguson finally said something more, saying: "I studied economics and got my Ph.D. two years ago."

"Getting a PhD in economics at the age of 27 is very good."

Alice Ferguson paused and corrected: "25 years old."

"When someone asks about it in the future, they will say he is 27 years old."

"why?"

"I said 27 years old will be 27 years old."

"……it is good."

Simon pushed a door open, and a bedroom was in front of him. Seeing the floor-to-ceiling windows leading to the terrace, he walked in.

Coming to the terrace, Simon stood by the railing and looked at the busy people in front of the villa, and asked: "What is the topic of your doctoral thesis?"

Alice Ferguson said: "The imbalance in US foreign trade caused by Reagan's economic reforms."

"Are you interested in politics?"

"Considered, but gave up."

"why?"

"It's hard for women to make a difference in politics."

"Not necessarily, maybe within ten years, there will be a female president in the Federation."

"This possibility is close to zero."

"Well, then why would you want to come and work for me?"

"The salary is high enough, and there will be better opportunities in the future."

"Ok?"

"The helms of the four core companies under Westeros are all women."

Simon smiled and asked, "I can hardly remember which four companies I have invested in."

"Daenerys, Melisandre, Igreat, Cersei."

"Well, then tell me, which of these four companies has the greatest development potential?"

Alice Ferguson hesitated and said, "Daenerys, or Igrit."

"I only let you talk about one family."

"Eggret."

Simon was a little surprised. He turned back and leaned on the railing, re-examined the girl in front of him, and said, "In this case, help me be a housekeeper for five years. You can go to Eaglet. Of course, the premise is that you still have to Prove your abilities. If I think you are more suitable to work as a cleaner in Igreat, then you can only clean the floor."

Alice Ferguson pursed her thin lips and said, "I need permission. I understand Igrit's permission."

"No problem, besides, since you are so smart, you can get a PhD at the age of 25, so let's study computer technology in the past few years."

Alice Ferguson said: "I already have a master's degree in computer science from Princeton University."

Simon glanced over the girl's white neck and said, "Are there any other degrees? Let's talk about it?"

"No more."

"Then continue to learn, and also get another Ph.D. Anyway, you are just helping me take care of the property, and I have a lot of free time," Simon finished, before the girl responded, and asked, "By the way, do you have a boyfriend? ?"

"No."

"Really?"

"I have had a few girlfriends."

"..."

Simon was speechless, no wonder he always felt a little strange.

Alice Ferguson saw Simon being choked and paused before adding, "However, I don't reject the opposite sex."

Simon nodded, his eyes deliberately added a bit of aggressiveness to look at the lace edge that was captured alive in front of him, and said: "I understand, this is a hint."

Alice Ferguson shook her head: "No, this is express."

Simon was guilty of fear: "Go and lock the bedroom door, I want you now."

Alice Ferguson shook her head: "Not now. Today is my dangerous period. There is no contraceptive in this bedroom. If you get pregnant by accident, I will ask you for all the rights this child deserves."

Simon insisted very aggressively: "Don't worry, I know many intimate ways that will not make a woman pregnant."

"I don't accept alternative sexual behaviors."

Simon clenched his fist, and the joint made a slight popping sound: "I will let you accept it."

Alice Ferguson still looked at Simon, and said seriously: "I will bite you."

Well, this is too cruel.

Simon noticed that Alice Ferguson occasionally showed very beautiful white teeth while speaking, but only felt a cold back in his back, and retreated: "Give you 10 seconds and disappear before my eyes."

Alice Ferguson turned her head and looked in the direction of the door, as if she was calculating whether she could get out of the bedroom in 10 seconds, then nodded at Simon, turned and stepped on the black high heels and walked out. Leaving the bedroom and gently closing the door, the new housekeeper stood at the door and breathed out slowly, the corners of her mouth raised slightly, and a faint smile appeared on her cold face.

A sound came from the direction of the stairs, and Alice Ferguson quickly picked up her mood and walked over.

The two girls walked upstairs with a suitcase, saw Alice, stopped, and their eyes were obviously wary. Alice walked up to the two women, glanced at them lightly, and said, "Alison Norris, Betsy Hope, you will also be in my control from now on."

Alison retorted: "We only follow the boss and won't listen to you."

Alice said, "Madam has agreed. If you are not satisfied, you can go and talk to Madam."

What else Alison wanted to say, Betsy pulled her a bit, and then said: "Madam let us move these two boxes into the master bedroom."

Alice nodded, walked to the other side of the corridor, and said, "Come with me."

The Hirst’s party started at seven o’clock in the evening, and Simon and his party arrived in Greenwich. It was past five o’clock in the afternoon. After a busy settling in, Simon and Janet began to prepare for the evening party.

"You must know the Spanish-American War, although it was almost a century ago, but after nearly a hundred years of accumulation, the potential influence of the Hearst family is actually stronger." rushed to the Hearst House. In the car, Janet and Simon chatted about this: “Speaking of which, Murdoch’s News Corporation is similar to Hearst Group. In the 1960s, Murdoch wanted to enter the UK. At that time, Australia had very strict Capital control, you cannot transfer large sums of money overseas at will. Do you know how he does it?"

"How to do it?"

"It happened to be the year of the general election. Murdoch mobilized the strength of the entire News Corporation, and in one fell swoop pushed a candidate who was not too popular with the public to the throne of prime minister. After that prime minister was elected, he quickly approved it. News Corporation’s investment plan. However, the strength of News Corporation and Hearst Group is still far behind."

Simon did not expect the Murdoch family to be so strong in Australia in the 1960s.

However, Simon remembered one more thing and asked: "In this case, why did Murdoch fail to prevent the introduction of the media restriction bill and have to be forced to sell the Seventh Television Network?"

The Johnston family is taking over the seventh Australian television network from the qintex group, originally owned by the Murdoch family.

Janet said: "Murdoch is too sharp, and naturally there will be bad luck. In the 1970s, it happened that a prime minister who had been criticized by News Corporation came to power, and then he was bad luck."

Simon couldn't help thinking of the eavesdropping scandal in his memory. In the final analysis, it was also because News Corp was too strong, which caused a collective backlash in British politics.

Thinking about this, Simon asked again: "By the way, News Corporation should have participated in the abolition of the estate tax in Australia?"

"At that time, my grandfather was in charge of liaison. The Murdoch family, the Fairfax family, and the Parker family were all involved." Janet seemed unwilling to say more about this, so she quickly changed the subject and said, "Also Coincidentally, the Hurst family happens to have always been supporters of the Democratic Party, which is also conducive to closer relations between our two sides."
