Hollywood Hunter

Because of the time difference, when Simon arrived in New York, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon on the east coast.

However, it is not just that the schedule for the two days of the weekend is fully arranged. Just after landing, Simon will start a series of work, and in the evening will attend a party organized by the James Rebald family.

Mainly to contact a series of partners of Westeros.

Simon didn't like to participate in these business meetings, but he had to attend.

The low-key of many super-rich people is actually just a low-key in front of the public. If they are too low-key in all groups, it is impossible to achieve a career at all.

Simon rarely appears in the media actively now, but the social network around him has been continuously expanding.

Inside the apartment on Fifth Avenue.

I talked with the person in charge of the construction of Westeros Building for one hour about the progress of the project. When the other party left, it was already seven o'clock in the evening.

Girl A chose a suit from the cloakroom and came to the living room on the first floor of the apartment, showed it to Simon, confirmed that the man had no objection, and took the clothes out of the dust bag with Girl B and served them directly in the living room. Simon put it on.

Finally standing in front of her boss wearing a tie, Girl A lowered her eyes and asked softly: "Boss, do you want to eat first?"

"No," Simon shook his head and said, "Also, call Jerry Hall and ask if she is free to come over tonight."

"Okay," Girl A nodded slightly, then hesitated and asked: "What if Ms. Hall is not available?"

"Isn't Victoria's Secret auditioning recently? Help me pick two."

The first Victoria's Secret Big Show was in Los Angeles, mainly for the convenience of Simon to follow up in person.

For the second big show this year, the location was confirmed to be in New York. The fashion atmosphere on the East Coast is stronger than that of Los Angeles, and it is easier to spread influence across the Atlantic.

Girl A responded again.

Sending away her boss, Girl B suddenly said with a little self-pity: "Aren't we all attractive at all?"

Girl A just gave a white look. Girl B went to the living room to tidy up the clothes that Simon had changed, and then went to a small office on the first floor dedicated to them. She turned on her laptop, checked her address book, and took I dialed the phone on my desk.

The phone was connected, and politely but with some formula, chatted with the other party for a while, agreed a time, and then hung up.

Girl B, who had changed into a long black dress, walked in, saw Alison finished her work, and asked: "A, do you want to change clothes?"

Girl A shook her head: "No."

Just going out for dinner, Alison didn't plan to spend a lot of time.

The two women left the apartment together. The car was already waiting downstairs. It was the driver of Simon's team.

As the closest maids around Simon and his wife, not only are they high salaries, but the girls are also treated amazingly. In addition to the private driver, the girls can also use the Westeros system except for the Boeing 767. Other private jets.

The Indian girl Alia Makheji, who first came to Westeros as a Janet Yoga teacher, originally had a sense of superiority in front of Alison and others, but gradually realized that the girls were treated like princesses. , Offered to Janet to be a member of the maid team.

The driver drove from the Fifth Avenue apartment and went south around 59th Street to the Jean-George restaurant in the southwest corner of Central Park.

This is a famous restaurant where many superstars and celebrities in Manhattan often dine. Most people who want to eat here usually have to book a place a few days in advance and come directly. They often wait for a few hours and there may not be a space, but the two women are just coming I made a call before.

The same is the welfare of the close maid of Westeros.

In the Jean-George restaurant, two girls, led by the leader, passed through the front hall of a large group of men and women waiting to have a meal, and came directly to a window overlooking the Central Park.

Seeing where the two women were sitting, some diners who had seen two beautiful girls with 80 points or more and dazzling could not help but curtail their expressions.

Manhattan is small, but there are very strict class hierarchies everywhere.

The actions of some famous restaurants in this area are precisely the details that best reflect this class.

Some people at the top of the pyramid can get the best location of any restaurant with a phone call.

After that, if you have a certain amount of wealth, fame and connections, it is very easy to reserve a seat. Of course, the best seat depends on luck, and it does not work every time, the seat is too tight, or the time is too long If it is tight, there will be times when it hits a wall.

The rest of the others, please follow the rules.

In such a circle, ordinary gold-collar silver-collar white-collar workers can only be regarded as the bottom.

As a result, the identities of the two beautiful girls who can occupy the best seats by the window during the busiest dining hours of the Jean-George restaurant are inevitable.

Crowded Manhattan, especially the circle on both sides of Central Park, has a male to female ratio of 1:2, a small area of ​​a few square kilometers, clustered with the world's top batch of vases, and is always waiting for some upper-level opportunities.

However, even in the eyes of many old-fashioned guests, the two girls sitting by the window of the Jean-George restaurant at this time are more inclined to the wealthy daughters of some old money families in the Upper East Side. , And it is absolutely impossible to think that this is just the maid beside someone.

Some other beautiful girls who carefully matched the man's side, looked at the two women with envy and even jealousy.

It's not because the people around you look away.

In order to keep the vases pleasing to the eye, Janet invested 200,000 US dollars in the installation and maintenance costs for each girl every year. Such an investment in order to maintain his personal image, even the wealthy wives of many respected and rich people in the Upper East Side could not afford it.

After ordering a meal, when the waiter with an unusually respectful attitude left, Girl B turned her head and swept around lightly, and naturally received a few positive smiles.

Withdrawing her gaze, Girl B exhaled a little, and said to Alison: "A lot of times I think it would be great if this kind of life can last forever."

Alison took a sip of the red wine and said, "It's absolutely okay. Madam doesn't mind if we stay here after five years."

"But, I want to be like C," Girl B said: "I heard that the latest generation of iCam is even more popular. Her current net worth is more than 200 million U.S. dollars, and I also hope to have a lot of money, and, You know."

Alison was silent.

In this world, there has never been an acquisition that requires no effort.

Girls can enjoy such treatment, of course, they also need to pay enough.

In this position, although there is no shortage of holidays and private time, in essence, they basically have no private life of their own, and there is no way to talk about love and family. Once something happens, they can only leave.

At the end of last year, among the group of girls brought out by the housekeeper, one of them met a man in a bar and couldn’t help playing a one-night stand. The next day they were fired even in the hotel room. Then everyone Never saw that girl again.

This is actually not the first.

Some girls were bought by people with ulterior motives and wanted to spy on the privacy of the Westeros. The two parties had just negotiated a price and were soon discovered.

Then it disappeared completely.

Gradually, the more sensitive girls realized that there must be ‘eyes’ staring around them.

The Simons have never treated people around them as harshly as other employers.

However, the girls all understand.

My boss has never been a kind and gullible man.

The owner's wife is not a nice woman.

Therefore, there are actually many red lines around them.

Within the red line, for them, it is the happy castle in the fairy tale.

However, once the red line is crossed, there is no chance to go back, and those who cross the line will be cleared immediately.

The Westeros family quickly accumulated hundreds of billions of dollars of wealth in just a few years. If they didn't have enough defense against the people around them, they would have been swallowed up and devastated by pretenders.

However, for the girls, this fairy tale castle surrounded by evil dragons is unstoppable.

Staying in the castle, they lose a lot, but actually gain more.

It's just that the life of this kind of master is probably the ultimate pursuit of countless Nuggets in Manhattan.

Not only that, leaving this castle, they will lose everything in front of them, but they may not be able to get more.

Although both the housekeeper and C girl are higher than the transnational threshold, the girls do not lack self-knowledge. The two girls are obviously supported by Simon himself. Although they have the same opportunities, they may not be able to transform them. For success.

Unless that man is willing to help them like a housekeeper and C girl.

Is it just possible?

Maybe it's possible.

Maybe not possible.

who knows?

The risk of a bet is great.

The man whom they can only look up to forever is like an ancient king, powerful and fickle.

The $10 million vase fund, the longer you stay at Westeros's house, the more insignificant it becomes to them. You know, it's just their current life that ordinary rich people with a $10 million family can't afford.

After a while, the waiter brought the dinner, and the two women picked up the tableware, and then changed the subject.

"A, what do you think of the material I showed you last time?"

Although she is very entangled in her heart whether she wants to leave, Yi Gan has never given up her attempt to start a business with the vase fund given by Simon.

Girl B has planned a plan this time.

Use the rapidly emerging Internet media to create a high-end financial information and trading platform similar to Bloomberg.

Girl B studied finance when she was in college, and she was by Simon's side. Because she had more free time on weekdays, she also received a master's degree in economics from Stanford through on-the-job graduate school in recent years.

Alison heard girl B mention it, shook her head, and said: "If you start from scratch, it's impossible."

Girl B said: "Michael Bloomberg started from scratch at the beginning, and by coincidence, his venture capital was also US$10 million."

Alison said: "However, before founding Bloomberg, Bloomberg worked on Wall Street for a long time. Not only did he accumulate enough experience, he knew exactly what information Wall Street customers needed, but he also had a deep network of contacts. Internet, these are the foundations of his business for Bloomberg. What about you, what do you have?"

Betsy Hope personally drew up her own business plan, naturally knowing that what Alison said is the truth, but still not convinced: "We have a boss."

Girl A curled her lips and said, "The boss is not familiar with Wall Street, but the boss can help you."

Girl B suddenly collapsed: "Then it will be completely useless."

Alison smiled and took a sip of the red wine, picked up the tableware again, and then said: "Actually, your idea is great. The key is your own accumulation. However, whether it is industry experience or network, it is impossible. Compared with Michael Bloomberg of the year. Moreover, Bloomberg has already occupied a great advantage in this regard. Financial information needs strong authority. If it is between the old Bloomberg and a brand-new information company Pick, I think nine out of ten people will choose Bloomberg."

Betsy nodded, but then said, "Isn't there another one?"

"Yes," Alison shrugged: "There are always opportunities, but to develop such a customer, the cost should be high. You know, if this field is so easy to enter, the old Reuters or Dow Jones would have entered. It’s not your turn at all."

"I think Bloomberg just seized an opportunity for technological change and used computer networks to replace outdated stock market disruptions. Now that the Internet is rapidly spreading, this is another technological change, and it should also be an opportunity for us. "

"It's to you, don't take me with you."

"So, you plan to stay with the boss all the time?"

Girl A didn't hide her thoughts, nodded honestly.

Betsy smiled and said, "Then it will be us. You can give me your 10 million dollar vase fund shares, and I will give you shares."

Alison said: "You should re-plan your own plan. It is definitely not possible to copy Bloomberg's model directly."

Betsy poked her head: "Talk about your thoughts?"

Alison thought for a while, and said: "Unlike Bloomberg, which focuses on high-end, the biggest advantage of the World Wide Web is that it faces a more general public. Since you plan to use the World Wide Web as a financial information platform, you must consider your potential customer base. where."

"In the face of the public, this will become an ordinary financial information website. There are not no similar websites on the Internet platform, and it is difficult to find a suitable profit model."

Girl A said: "You can also join the trading system. If my judgment is correct, in the next few years, the federal stock market will experience a long-term bull market, which may promote the enthusiasm of national stocks. This should be your opportunity."

Girl B heard the words and whispered: "How do you judge."

Alison gave her a blank look and did not answer.

Follow Simon, if you don't even see this, her IQ may be problematic.

Moreover, Alison believes that Betsy should have seen this as well, before he came up with the idea of ​​creating a financial information and trading platform that tried to be a grab for Bloomberg.
