Hollywood Hunter

The couple was tired of talking together, the sunset gradually sank into the horizon, and the sky dimmed unconsciously.

The sound of da da high heels sounded crisp and sweet in the empty hall.

Since learning that frequent wearing high heels may cause toe deformation and Simon likes natural beautiful feet, Janet rarely wears high heels outside of formal social occasions. Even at work, she often wears a pair of white like a little girl. Flat sneakers.

However, Simon actually liked the crisp sound of high heels stepping on the ground.

Turning to look, it was the housekeeper Alice Ferguson who came by.

Since it is moving, the seven-member team led by ABCD four women and the housekeeper has been staying here in recent days, responsible for all-round cleaning of the interior of the Shell Villa and the placement of items in all rooms.

Usually an apartment of 120 square meters can separate seven or eight rooms. The three-story shell villa has a total of 12,000 square meters of internal space, which is 100 times that of an ordinary apartment. You can imagine how big the interior is.

Except for the 2,000 square meters hall and basement floor, which are separated from the wine cellar, garage, vault and studio, the 3,000 square meters space still has 7,000 square meters in other areas.

The remaining 3000 square meters of space outside the lobby on the first floor is divided into areas such as kitchen, bar, study, bathroom, meeting room, living room, meeting room, gym, library, storage room, and private projection room. There is more than one bathroom and so on.

The second floor of the villa is also 3000 square meters of space, but there are six suites with separate living room, study, bedroom and bathroom, each with an area of ​​more than 200 square meters. The rest are separate bedrooms, study rooms, living rooms, cloakrooms, storage rooms, home theaters, etc.

The streamlined spiraling third floor is mainly a UFO-shaped master bedroom, but this one is more than 300 square meters.

The master bedroom is located on the east side of the third floor of the villa, and there are some supporting study rooms, bathrooms, cloakrooms and other rooms to the west of the master bedroom. Janet has also specially arranged two baby rooms these days.

Because there are often rooms in the room and there are many open half-compartments, it is difficult to calculate how many rooms there are in this villa. However, according to the usual calculation method of western houses, there are only 11 bedrooms in the villa, and there are more bathrooms, reaching 19.

It is conceivable that the ABCD four girls and the seven-member housekeeper group add up, although there are 11 people, but just taking care of this single villa is definitely not easy physical work. It is even more difficult to take care of Simon's properties across North America.

Simon does not allow anyone else to take care of his property, so the housekeeper has recently been discussing with Janet about hiring more people.

By the glass curtain wall, when Simon turned his head, Janet turned and lay on the back of the sofa chair lazily.

Being watched by the two together, Alice's expression remained unchanged, and she whispered: "Sir, ma'am, do you want to prepare dinner?"

Janet knocked her chin on the back of the sofa chair, her eyes shiny and silent.

Simon said: "Yes, besides, first call everyone to come over and all the lights in the villa are turned on."

Alice nodded and walked away again in her high heels.

Janet didn’t move her upper body, but her little feet in white flat shoes kicked Simon’s legs rhythmically with the clatter, and joked: “Or I can add a hard sole to my shoes to make a sound. It."

Simon pressed the woman's restless calf and smiled: "Take a horseshoe so that the voice will be louder."

Janet rolled her eyes and kicked Simon again with her calf.

A few minutes later, all the lights in the Shell Villa were on together. The Dome headland is very high, and most of Malibu can see a dreamlike light on the sharp corners of the city.

In the villa, 11 tall girls with blonde and white skin and temperament are considered to be excellent, soon appeared in front of Simon, and the uniform black OL suit was extremely pleasing to the eye.

If it is unknown to those inside, these girls must definitely belong to the elite level of the workplace, and no one would guess that they are just maids of the Westeros family.

In fact, the 11 women with salaries at the level of corporate vice presidents are indeed professional elites.

Not only is the annual salary of 200,000 US dollars and the bonus after the 5-year contract, the girls’ daily expenses for food, accommodation, clothing, fitness, medical care, etc. are all borne by Simon, and this expenditure is no less than their salary. . In order to facilitate the housekeeper to lead the team around to take care of the property, Simon also specially configured a Gulfstream IV private jet for them.

Frankly speaking, Simon is keeping a vase.

This is another hobby besides buying real estate.

I don't pursue any rewards, let alone a lot of physical appeals, just hobbies. After making so much money, of course you can do whatever you want. It is very interesting to think about it to bring out a group of high-level vases that are so exquisite that they are so exquisite that many men and women feel embarrassed.

Unabashedly appreciating the pleasing scene in front of him, Simon finally looked at Claire, the girl C, and asked, "C, have you thought about what to do in the future?"

Claire felt that many other eyes were looking at her, but she just looked at her boss, and said, "Start a company and be your own boss. I haven't figured out what to do."

Simon nodded, then turned to the other girls, looking over with beautiful eyes implicitly expecting.

Looking at it again, Simon said: "That's it, I plan to set up a venture fund, um, it's called the'Vase Fund', what do you think?"

The meaning of the name is too obvious. Girl A Alison quickly said: "Boss, is it for us?"

"Of course," Simon nodded and said, "Everyone is 10 million dollars, whatever you do, fashion, technology, real estate, finance, etc., even if you want to make a movie, it's okay. I can just help you consult. If you find it hard to do it alone, you can still cooperate with each other. Well, I would recommend you to cooperate. Two people will cost 20 million U.S. dollars, and 11 people will be 110 million U.S. dollars. However, each person is only 10 million. If you lose your share of the dollar, you won’t have a second chance."

The girls confirmed that Simon was not joking, they couldn't help but look at each other, their faces all eager to try.

10 million U.S. dollars. Although this amount of money is not a big deal for Simon now, it is enough to satisfy the ambition of too many people to climb upward.

After a while, a **** the side of the housekeeper boldly said: "Boss, can you give us some suggestions?"

Simon looked over, remembered that the girl was named Zoe Parks, nodded and smiled: "Of course, in addition to your mutual cooperation, I suggest that you invest in emerging new technologies, such as the Internet. I believe us We are in an era similar to the electrical revolution a hundred years ago. In that era, Morgan appeared, Rockefeller appeared, and Carnegie appeared. Similarly, in this rapidly rising information age, there will certainly be such a group of people appearing, maybe you Is one of them."

Another **** the side of the housekeeper said with a little lack of confidence: "How is it possible, we are women."

Simon felt this almost coquettish tone, smiled and looked over, this one was named Isabel Dunn, and said: "Why don't you forget your 10 million dollars?"

The girl shook her head quickly, feeling that the reaction was wrong, then nodded quickly, still feeling wrong, she had to look at Simon with a pitiful face.

"Okay, just kidding," Simon said: "That's it for the time being. I don't care what to do. You discuss it for yourself. I will try to pay only for the money. Now, go ahead and do what you just said, ABCD, you are responsible. dinner."

The girls whispered to each other.

Alice stayed where she was. When the others left, the housekeeper looked at Simon and said, "Boss, do I have 10 million dollars too?"

Simon said: "Of course, but this does not hinder your original plan. How to do it in the future depends on your own choice."

Alice shook her head slightly, and said, "I mean, 10 million dollars is a little bit less for me."

Simon showed an expression of interest and asked, "You already have an idea?"

The housekeeper nodded and said: "I have seen the information you gave me, e-commerce. This is a project I think is very promising."

Simon had a weird expression.

In some of the original plans, Simon hopes that Jeff Bezos, who is now in charge of Igreat's network business, will turn to e-commerce again in the future. If the butler is really good enough, he hopes that she can become Bezos' successor.

It now appears that the plan will probably never catch up with the changes.

In these days, Simon opened up a lot of materials related to the new technology industry to the housekeeper according to the original agreement. Unexpectedly, she discovered the industry prospects of e-commerce so soon.

After thinking about it, Simon said: "There is only 10 million dollars in the'Vase Fund' for you, but as long as you do well enough, money is certainly not a problem."

Janet, who was listening quietly by Simon's side, also smiled at this time: "Cersei Capital can also invest for you, as much as you want."

“Actually, it’s still a bit early to do e-commerce. Wait a year or two for the number of users of the World Wide Web to reach millions or even tens of millions. This is the most appropriate entry period. Now that you have ideas, you can rely on the Eaglet portal. Test the waters on a small scale first, such as focusing on selling books or electronic products online in California or New York State." Simon said this, put his face away, and said, "Of course, the most important thing for you now is to do well. Own job."

Alice listened carefully to Simon's words, nodded, and said, "Then, I will help prepare dinner too."

"Go, besides, you can choose a bedroom in the villa and live here tonight."

Alice, who was about to turn around, paused and nodded slightly.

When the housekeeper walked away, Janet pretended to be dissatisfied: "Leave her, do you plan to go to night raid tonight?"

Simon pecked on the woman's angry red lips and joked: "For you."

Janet's eyelashes flickered, she understood, and said, "I'm not lace, but maybe we can be together."

"This is too bullying, right?"

"The maid is just for bullying."

Simon showed a disgusting expression: "Unexpectedly you are such a woman, stay away from me, the evil capitalist."

Janet didn't retreat but rushed forward, wrapped her around Simon and laughed for a moment, then curiously said: "Why do you want to set up a'Vase Fund'? Isn't it good for them to be real vases?"

Simon put his arms around Janet’s waist and said, “Of course it’s still a vase, but I want to make even the Westeros’ vases to the extent that many people look up. Think about it, there will be a large group of Westeros in the future. Isn’t it interesting to be a female billionaire who was born as a maid and even reaches the level of being on the Forbes list?”

"Do you think they can really do this?"

"I give them the best conditions for starting a business. As long as they work a little harder, it is actually very easy to achieve something. They are all selected by you, and none of them is just a simple vase with a leather bag, right?"

"Yeah, they are all very ambitious, and there are people who want to take my place," Janet nodded with a smile, and then joked: "But, you are not afraid that other men will be cheaper in the end?"

"Don't be afraid, all these money are investments. Once done, I can get a return," Simon shook his head and said, "Moreover, there are not a few'other men' in this world that I can care about."

"It's true," Janet joked, "Someone still seems to like other men's women."

"Um, you are slander."

"Humph."

"What does ‘huh’ mean?"

"You know it yourself."

Unsurprisingly, the scene of the first lighting up of the Shell Villa at Cape Du Meure Manor appeared in many newspapers the next day. Naturally, it was a voice of criticism, accusing Simon Westeros of living in a luxurious building. The electricity consumption of the villa is equivalent to hundreds of times that of ordinary people.

Simon naturally didn't care about these, he just wanted to let the world gradually get used to his increasingly exposed edge.

Regarding the "Vase Fund" matter, Janet finally took the matter over with enthusiasm and planned to link the fund to Cersei Capital. Naturally, Simon had no opinion, but doing so would make the fund appear more regular.

After a short weekend break, when the working day arrives, Simon first ushered in a lawsuit.

The three major unions in Hollywood, the Screen Actors Guild of America, the Screenwriters Guild of America, and the Directors’ Guild of America, also filed a lawsuit in the Federal Court of Delaware, where MCA and Daenerys Entertainment’s corporate registration are located, to claim Daenerys Entertainment’s complaint against MCA. The merger will lead to a monopoly and cause the deterioration of the working environment of the media industry staff, requiring that Daenerys Entertainment's acquisition of MCA be prohibited.

The three major labor unions are obviously well prepared. They not only hired the most well-known team of anti-merger lawyers in the United States, but also collected a lot of evidence.

Among them, the serious overtime phenomenon within Daenerys Entertainment's enterprises has become one of the important basis for the lawsuit of the three major unions. Members of the three major unions have come forward to testify that Daenerys Entertainment had to bear it during the work period. Long hours of overtime.

In addition, the three major unions also believe that once Daenerys Entertainment and MCA merge, the film produced by this company will directly or indirectly account for about 40% of the box office in the United States, reaching 2 billion US dollars, which has constituted a monopoly. Daenerys Entertainment will also use its own industry advantages to further reduce the salary of industry practitioners.

This allegation is also full of evidence.

At the same time, many media have launched a public opinion offensive against Daenerys Entertainment.

Many people have a foreboding that in order to stop Daenerys Entertainment’s expansion, Simon Westeros is likely to face a lawsuit bombing. There are many precedents for this kind of thing in the West. Many corporate mergers and acquisitions are often forced to fail due to litigation and public opinion pressure.
