Hollywood Hunter

After a few more conversations, after listening to Bill Spoult’s self-introduction to lead a stock trading team in First Boston, Simon asked the test school: “Then, Bill, tell me about your opinion of Daenerys Entertainment’s IPO. view."

Bill Spoult, who had already calmed down, knew how valuable this opportunity was. He forced his mind to calm down and thought about it briefly: "Before Daenerys Entertainment, I usually would not recommend the stocks of Hollywood studios to my clients. Because of the great uncertainty in the film industry, the failure of a movie’s box office often results in a sharp drop in stock price and very unstable profitability. The most successful aspect of Daenerys Entertainment lies in the company’s sustainability The strong DC movie universe and other series of film projects have largely resolved the strong uncertainty in the film industry. In addition, Daenerys Entertainment’s diversified development has also been very successful, which in turn makes this company have a strong resistance Risk capability. Therefore, Daenerys Entertainment’s IPO will definitely be very successful."

Simon nodded slightly.

As an outsider in Hollywood, even if Bill Spoult was prepared in advance, it would be difficult to make this thorough insight without careful investigation and reflection.

With a smile on his face, Simon asked: "So, Bill, will you recommend Daenerys Entertainment stock to your clients next?"

When called by his wife temporarily, Bill Spurt certainly could not prepare in advance.

However, Daenerys Entertainment's IPO is the biggest popular event on Wall Street recently, and Bill Spoult is responsible for the stock trading business. Of course, it is impossible to ignore it. As for whether he will recommend this stock to his customers in the future, if it hadn't been for tonight, Bill Spoult would never know if he could stay in the industry.

Resisting without showing a bitter smile, Bill Spoult said: "If I can get new shares from Goldman Sachs or Morgan Stanley at the issue price, I will definitely try my best to sell to customers. If not, I will soon be listed after the official listing. Customers will not be advised to absorb from the secondary market, because Daenerys Entertainment’s stock will definitely be highly sought after by the market in the initial stage of listing, and the stock price will be inflated."

Grace Spurt was smiling as she listened to her husband talking in front of Simon. Seeing that the man's tone suddenly turned, she couldn't help but turned her head and gave him a slight reminder.

Even if you make sense, the paragraph just now is more than half good.

Simon certainly wouldn't mind, and asked, "How much do you think Daenerys Entertainment's stock price is reasonable?"

Bill Spurt said: "It depends on Daenerys Entertainment's specific operating conditions and external economic environment. For now, the US stock market has started a new round of bull market, and Daenerys Entertainment also owns DC movies. The universe, "Jurassic Park", "Mission Impossible" and other hot projects to be developed, so in the next one to two years, the stock price can be bought within 35 times the price-earnings ratio, the highest should not exceed 40 times. "

Simon took a glass of red wine from the waiter's tray passing by, and when Bill Spoult finished speaking, he didn't continue to ask, and said, "Very good, I hope you have a great evening."

Turn around and walk away after speaking.

Bill Spurt watched Simon walk to a lady in a long burgundy silk dress, recognized that she was Westero's wife, and quickly looked away. He noticed that his wife next to him looked at herself questioningly, and thought for a while and said: "Westeros probably feels that I am cautious and lack enterprising."

Then he mocked himself again: "Or, he doesn't remember me now."

Although Grace Spoult doesn't know much about professional finance, it doesn't hinder her ability to develop a relationship. Hearing this, he gestured to the people around him slightly: "But you don't need to focus on Westeros at all, do you? "

Bill Spur characteristically nodded.

Just now the couple had a very good conversation with Simon Westeros, and people around them might have noticed.

Bill Spurt also calmed down completely at this time, looking for a moment in the crowd, and took his wife to two middle-aged people who were chatting not far away. They were the first Boston CEO Frank Walsh and Frank Walsh. Lawrence Fink, head of Black Rock Asset Management, a subsidiary of Cersei Capital.

When the Spoorts came, the two middle-aged men who were originally curious about their identities stopped talking.

Speaking of, not to mention Frank Walsh, Lawrence Fink was also born in Boston.

However, compared to Bill Spoult’s frustration over the years, Lawrence Fink became the first Boston’s most dazzling young banker at the age of 30, and he founded and led a mortgage bond team of hundreds of people. Affiliated to the Securities Trading Department.

In 1988, the team led by Fink lost $100 million in an operation, which caused him to take the blame and resign, but the Wall Street golden boy was quickly recruited by the Blackstone Group and immediately joined Cersei Capital. Now, two-year-old Lawrence Fink, the young Bill Spurt, is already a pivotal capital tycoon on Wall Street.

Although all under the umbrella of the large business unit of securities trading, the high-profile Lawrence Fink did not know such a small person as Bill Spoort, and Frank Walsh, who was aloof, was obviously even more so.

Bill Spoult took the initiative to shake hands with the two of them, and then introduced himself.

Hearing that Bill Spoult was a junior head of the securities trading department of his company, Frank Walsh was obviously surprised, but he quickly returned to normal. Bill Spurt didn't talk much with his boss who was several stories above him. After meeting him, he made an impression and left with his wife.

Understand that this is enough.

Frank Walsh appeared here tonight, in the final analysis, is to close the relationship with the Westeros system, and then to win some business for First Boston.

Bill Spurt, a small grassroots executive, can appear at a gathering where only core executives on Wall Street can be invited, but this is enough to make people think a lot. If Frank Walsh remains indifferent, Bill Spoult has nothing to say.

After all, it was a high-end gathering of Wall Street tycoons. The Spoorts socialized at the party and left early without waiting.

After all, there is a lack of common topics.

Others are discussing how to short a country’s currency. Bill Spurt is only responsible for researching the stock trends of some companies. The gap is too big, and too strong may be counterproductive.

The couple drove over separately, and because they drank some alcohol, they took the initiative to find a driver when they returned.

No words all the way.

It was not until returning from one Greenwich to another Greenwich, entering the house, waiting patiently for his wife to see the two children who had fallen asleep, and then sending the nanny away, that Bill Spoult sat down on the living room sofa and waited for his wife's explanation.

He had heard of certain things about Simon Westeros.

Grace finally made a pot of coffee and brought it to the living room, poured a cup for herself and her husband separately, sat down directly beside him, smiled and asked, "How do you feel?"

His wife sat down next to him without any complaint, and the familiar smell of perfume came from beside him. Bill Spoult was inexplicably relaxed, holding coffee in one hand and his wife in the other and said: "It seems like a dream ."

Grace said: "I was advocating and calling you away today. In case Westeros is disgusted by this, or even loses his job, you will come to support us in the future."

"of course."

Bill Spoelter smiled, subconsciously promised, but suddenly realized that it was Simon Westeros that he was able to talk to the group of Wall Street bigwigs tonight.

If... where does he have tiger skin kola.

Grace was also considering how to explain the recent events, but she didn't notice the strangeness of her husband, and said, "I planned to talk to you tomorrow, but I didn't expect tonight. But, Bill, I want to remind you first. Those big people have very high requirements for confidentiality. You know about the next things, and remember not to talk nonsense, otherwise we two little people will be unlucky."

Bill Spur characteristically nodded, waiting for his wife to continue.

Just now, Grace has been trying to portray her relationship with Simon as far away as possible. She quietly looked at her husband’s expression, knowing that it had worked, and continued: “It’s probably the end of last month. Westeros took a fancy to a few. The woman, then put it in our company to help you watch. I won’t tell you who it is, so that you don’t get into trouble. You can probably guess what the model agency is like. I am a woman, so I was selected to be responsible A few women’s agents."

Bill Spurt listened quietly, doubting again in his heart.

Grace roughly guessed her husband’s thoughts, and quickly continued: “I thought it was like this, but I didn’t expect, hey, don’t say anything next. Our boss, John Casablanca, is actually in the Westeros. One of them moved their minds, but because Westeros had been sending someone to stare quietly, Casablanca failed to succeed and angered the other party."

Bill Spoort asked subconsciously: "John Casablanca is not so stupid, right?"

Grace said: "Yes, but the woman is too stupid. She didn't know that she was actually attracted by Westeros. In Elite, of course, she is the biggest in Casablanca. She thinks that she will have the hope of becoming a supermodel."

Bill Spoult suddenly felt a little messy in it: "What then?"

"Then," Grace said, "Simon Westero found me and said that he could give me resources to push me to the position of President of Elite."

Even if it cannot be compared with some corporate giants, Elite is the world's largest model agency at any rate. What's more, the Westeros system does not seem to be directly related to Elite. Bill Spurt couldn't figure out how Westeros would push his wife to the position of Elite, so he asked, "What is he going to do?"

Grace also shook her head and said: "I don't know any further, but I have now got some resources of the Westeros system. You know the Victoria's Secret show, every Victoria's Secret Angel has a quota now Models from all over the world are trying their best to compete for the object. I got three places. In other words, I have the hope to cultivate three supermodels. Because of this relationship, not surprisingly, I may be promoted to Elite in the near future. Vice President of the company."

Bill Spoult realized after a second thought that if it weren't for tonight, the next step back and forth between him and his wife would have widened a big gap.

Grace lightly patted her husband's leg and said, "Okay, I can only tell you so much. Then today I went to Greenwich to send information, and I happened to be preparing for a party there. Westeros casually invited me to stay. Next, I originally planned to come back to watch a movie with the children. However, thinking that this matter should help you, I will call you over temporarily."

Bill Spurt hesitated, nodded, and said nothing.

Grace glanced at her husband's expression, and simply touched it with some teasing in a relaxed tone: "You don't think I have something with Westeros, do you?"

Bill Spoult's expression was slightly stagnant, and then he learned Grace's tone: "I heard that Westeros likes mature women very much."

Grace raised her hand and hammered her husband's shoulder, but she turned serious and explained: "I can't be looked down upon by others. Even today, I also saw Westeros for the second time. At the end of the month, he called me over and explained a few words about how to take care of those women, and today, I will send some information about Victoria's Secret Angel candidates."

Bill Spoult couldn't help asking: "Then why would he invite you to the party tonight?"

Grace said: "Probably to help me accumulate some contacts. In addition to those on Wall Street, there are many senior executives of the Westeros system tonight. You know, if one day I become the president of Elite, because it is Wester Luo personally supported him and should be counted as one of the executives of the Westeros system. Moreover, the other party’s invitation was very casual. If it were not for you, I would not stay."

Bill Spur characteristically nodded, his body relaxed completely.

His wife has been so frank with him, and today it was obviously for his consideration, and she took a lot of risks. He felt that no matter how much he was suspicious, it would be too unkind.

Feeling the change in her husband's mood, Grace took a sip of coffee and changed the subject in due course: "Do you think the greeting to Frank Walsh tonight will work?"

Grace’s problem immediately dragged Bill Spoult’s thoughts to the more pressing issue he was facing recently. After thinking about it, he thought about it: "Walsh's ability is still good. He has determined that he will stay in this company integration. Next, if nothing else, someone will talk to me soon."

"Then, do you think you can go further this time?"

"Perhaps..." Bill Spurt opened his head, and then he was not too confident, saying: "Anyway, it should be fine to stay."

As long as he can stay, perhaps a little promotion, Bill Spoult can regain a foothold in the integrated Credit Suisse First Boston Group, at least, the retirement problem does not seem to be too big. After many years of ups and downs, Bill Spoult has not dared to expect too much.

Bill Spoult did not expect that he thought that the top Boston leaders would react next week. On Saturday of the next day, Frank Walsh, CEO of First Boston, called and invited him to lunch together. .

Immediately afterwards, on Saturday night, the Spoults were invited to a high-level reception in Boston.

The following Sunday, Bill Spoult began to deal with various calls and invitations since he got up in the morning.

This sudden turn of events made the couple unbelievable.

In the end, when the new week came, Bill Spoult, who initially felt that he was only expected to be in charge of the stock trading department under the securities trading department, was directly notified that he might be promoted to the next securities trading department manager.

Although he will be in charge of this department jointly with another person in charge, this promotion has far exceeded Bill Spoult's expectations.

It should be understood that the Securities Trading Department is a large business department within First Boston. Even after this integration, the total number of employees still maintains more than 1,000 people, including multiple sub-trading departments such as stocks, bonds, foreign exchange, and commodities. Moreover, as one of the most important core business units of investment banking, it has great potential for promotion in the future. The current first Boston CEO Frank Walsh was once the head of the securities trading department.
