The New Year is approaching in a blink of an eye.

Christmas can be kept private, but New Year's Day is not suitable for continuing.

In addition to the benefit of large bonuses at the end of the year, the most important way to maintain a more harmonious interpersonal relationship is social interaction.

After Christmas, Simon and Janet began to reorganize and plan the Westeros system, and Jennifer and Sofia were responsible for preparing the Westeros family's New Year's Eve party.

The official parties on the West Coast were led by Amy Pascal in Los Angeles and Tim Berners Lee in San Francisco.

On the East Coast, senior executives from Westeros, Cersei Capital, Verizon Telecom, Daenerys Entertainment East Coast Division, and AOL in the Westeros system have all been invited. Many important partners and political and business celebrities, because of a private agreement with a woman, and Simon also wanted to pave the way for Sophia’s son Daniel Xiaoxiao. The invitation to the party also stated that you can bring 12 years old. The above-mentioned family children participated together.

The venue for the New Year's Eve party is still in the manor in the northern suburbs of Greenwich.

According to the number of invitation functions and the feedback before the party, there will be more than 300 people participating. The scale is not too big, and it is definitely not small. They are basically the core executives and key contacts of the Westeros system on the east coast. .

The statutory holidays at the end of the United States are only Christmas and New Year's Day.

It just so happens that Christmas and New Year's Day are both on Sundays this year, and many people can arrange their holidays more calmly.

In the Upper East Side of Manhattan, after lunch, the Spurts began preparing for the evening party. As for why they were able to receive the invitation to the Westeros family’s New Year’s Eve party, the Spoults knew well, but the two children had been excited for several days. Daughter Rita heard that her boyfriend’s family had also received an invitation. Appears more active.

In order to avoid being rude by the time, Grace also specially arranged for the two children to participate in several etiquette courses.

There was no such condition in the past.

It is not necessary.

It will be different now, or in the future.

However, entering the upper class, the Spoults felt most deeply about burning money. Not to mention, just to set up a outfit for the party tonight, the family's expenditure in the last few days has exceeded 60,000 US dollars. This is the situation where Grace can get various luxury brand products at preferential prices by using her contacts in the fashion industry. under.

At the end of the year, the couple's income has increased significantly this year. However, in order to maintain the family's expensive life in the Upper East Side, they also have an additional debt of 110,000 US dollars.

Onlookers will inevitably feel that the division of life circles in Manhattan's Upper East Side, Upper West Side, Midtown, and Lower City seems boring. It seems that as long as they step on one foot, they can step into it and they will understand the hidden thresholds. Just like the Upper East Side, people are full of Chanel, Gucci and Hermes at social gatherings. If you wear a cheap FMCG brand, no one will pay you.

It is even more a joke to think that others can't see it.

As for the so-called focusing on the appearance and being too superficial, it does not exist.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, I sent away the stylist who came to do her makeup. Grace, who was already dressed up, returned to the house. Seeing her daughter hung up the phone sneakily again, she smiled and asked, "Are you ready over there?"

Rita Spoult was embarrassed, but nodded, expecting: "Mom, shall we leave now?"

Grace stepped forward to help her daughter tidy up her evening gown, and stroking her head fondly, and found that if she weren't wearing high heels, she would not be so easy to do this action, as if she used to cry yesterday. The girl was suddenly slim, smiled slightly with emotion, and said: "Immediately, the car should be here."

Naturally speaking, the Levison family.

The other party’s invitation letter was handed over by Grace. After receiving the invitation letter, the Levison family, who had been rather indifferent to this side, immediately regained their enthusiasm, and she didn’t mind that Grace had previously talked to Simon Westeros. Unfamiliar words, also agreed to rush over tonight.

Spoelter and his son descended from upstairs side by side, and Grace came forward thoughtfully and personally checked the clothes for them. When her son Lei asked what to do tonight at the party, she felt a little distressed, and on the surface she wanted to encourage her son to spend more time with him. Exchange with other peers.

Bill Spurt also stepped forward to enlighten his son, but he was thinking about how to discuss the Igreat IPO with Simon Westero tonight.

From people to middle age, everything goes to an unexpected promotion to the core executives of UBS's First Boston Company. Over the past six months or so, Bill Spoult has been somewhat vigorous and inevitably walking on thin ice. Fortunately, because of the recovery of the US stock market, plus For some of the projects suggested by the Westeros system, the stock trading department led by Bill Spurt has had a very gratifying performance this year.

If we can get the underwriting rights of part of Eaglet's IPO stocks next year, Bill Spoult will once again save a deep qualification and may go further in the future. In fact, this matter has already made a difference, and it is obviously another part of the initiative to support the Westeros system.

However, you have to confirm it personally from Westeros to be at ease.

At half past four, the appointed courtesy car arrived on time, because you might have to drink in the evening, which is not suitable for driving by yourself. The Levison family also happened to rush over, and the two families left Manhattan for Greenwich.

Arrived in Greenwich, Connecticut, in northern New York, less than six o'clock.

The New Year’s Eve party starts at 7pm. It’s not appropriate to catch up too early. The two families chose a coffee shop for a short break. This is a coffee shop inside a country club in Greenwich and is not open to the public. It is owned by the Levison family. The membership card here. After entering the cafe, I discovered that there were other customers with the same purpose who were also waiting. Everyone was worried about being late and arrived early.

Grace happens to know each other from the same family.

The heirs of the Hilton family, Richard Hilton and Cathy Hilton, and their two daughters Paris Hilton and Nikki Hilton.

The other is the TV celebrity Jenner and his wife who participated in "Housewives of New York", who also brought their three daughters, Courteney, King and Kohler. In her spare time, she has watched "The New York Wife", and Grace remembers that these three girls are the stepdaughters of Bruce Jenner, and they seem to have the surname Kardashian.

Compared with her beautiful Rita and Hilton’s two daughters, Grace only feels that the three stepdaughters of Jenner’s family are still a bit ugly even if they are clearly dressed up.

Of course it will not show up.

After everyone got to know each other, it was natural to get together and chat.

The difference is also unconsciously revealed.

Hilton and Levison are both typical old money families. Even if the Levison family's roots are in southern Florida, the two faintly quickly formed a wave and seemed more enthusiastic. As TV celebrities who have been very active in recent years, the Jenners also have enough confidence in front of these old money families.

So, instead, the Spoult family's background is the most superficial, and the family has no reputation.

The housewives in Manhattan usually enjoy themselves, and their intrigue skills are unknowingly perfect.

Although I got the invitation letter from Grace, and on the surface it was quite enthusiastic, but between several women’s conversations, Grace was able to easily obtain information from Mrs. Levison and Cathy Hilton and Kris Jenner. The attitude and tone between the three of hers is different, and I still don't like you very much.

Moreover, the beautiful woman who happened to be remembered by a little man by ten years younger than her husband made Grace clearly feel that she was doing this deliberately, and did not hide it at all.

Occasionally, she glanced around and found her husband's low posture subconsciously when chatting with several other men. Grace was even more depressed.

Fortunately, a group of children does not seem to have the sophistication of these adults, because Rita and Michael of Levison's family are the oldest and still dominate in a short time. The daughter is like herself and self-confident enough. The expression of her son looking at the little girl in Hilton’s house is obviously a little different, but the little girl with the same name as'Paris' is a little bit ignorant of her son, but when facing her daughter’s boyfriend. There was a small green light in his eyes.

No matter what the mind is, after some exchanges, they still get acquainted.

This is actually networking.

So until 6:40, it was dark in the winter. Everyone left the cafe inside the country club and rushed to the manor in the northern suburbs of Greenwich in ten minutes.

After checking the invitation letter when entering the door, the courtesy car passed through the long corridor, and finally stopped in the small square in front of the main villa of the manor. There were dozens of cars parked here, but there was no congestion. A group of waiters were directing and dispatching. Just getting off the car, feeling the brightly lit and lively atmosphere of the villa, the coldness from the surroundings seems to be no longer so cold.

Armed with her husband's arm and brought the two children into the villa, as if suddenly entering another world.

The first feeling is warmth.

It is the coldest season on the east coast, the outdoor temperature is already below zero, but the big villa is warm like spring.

This is still the bottom line.

If many rich people want to buy this manor at their feet, they will definitely be able to afford it. But even for most of the rich, affordability does not mean that they can afford it. Many veteran aristocrats in the UK continue to donate or even family castles. This is the reason for the abandonment. A certain guy has bought a bunch of top luxury homes all over the world. The annual maintenance tax and other expenses are probably enough to make some billionaires directly declare bankruptcy.

In the hall, Grace quickly saw Simon and his wife, who had come to welcome the guests in person, and walked over with the Levison family with her husband and two children.

Greeted each other, and when she shook hands with his wife, looking at those eyes that seemed to penetrate everything, Grace inevitably felt a little guilty. Fortunately, Janet Westeros did not show anything unusual, and she took the initiative to remind Grace when she was briefly stunned She introduced her pair of children.

"Oh, Simon, Jenny, these are my son Ray and daughter Rita. Simon, they are all your admirers, they have watched all your movies."

Simon smiled and shook hands with a pair of boys and girls in front of him, and smiled gently: "Hello, Ray, Rita, have fun tonight."

Rita waited for her younger brother and Westeros to shook hands, and took the initiative to shook hands with each other. Compared with this legendary youth, she was bound to be restrained after all, but smiled shyly: "Thank you for your hospitality, Mr. Westeros. "

Grace stood aside, and saw that Mrs. Levison who came up to face a certain young man with some humble gestures in her favor, and she felt a sense of relief inexplicably.

Knowing that Simon had to greet other guests, the family did not stay too much, and walked into the hall after greeting.

All rooms on the first floor of the villa are completely open, and hundreds of guests and the waiter team are still not crowded. The guests greeted the host family and naturally took the initiative to find their own circle, even the children. A boy who introduced himself by the name of Daniel Fissi took the initiative to introduce himself, and then took Rita and them away.

Grace didn't know Daniel, and when she heard the surname, she immediately understood the identity of the other party.

Son of Sofia Faisy.

I didn't expect that a certain guy would treat his lover's son so well, and then I remembered what he had said before to support his daughter. Originally, he thought he might have bad thoughts. Thinking about it now, it is probably true.

The children temporarily leave, and the Spoorts can communicate more freely.

Because of the cooperation for more than half a year, Bill Spurt quickly became in a room on the east side of the villa with Cersei Capital and some other corporate executives on Wall Street.

Grace accompanies her husband to socialize in the crowd and also sees Sophia Fesie. She also knows that the fashion industry executives around Fesie are her circle. Having more contact with each other can not only expand and consolidate her own network, but also help her name. Of customers strive for more opportunities. However, Grace did not stay. Instead, she stayed with her husband all the time. The fact that her man can go to the next level is more beneficial to the entire Spoult family.

The Levisons who followed the Spoorts into this small circle also had no potential arrogance.

A little man mentioned that he wanted to investigate the situation of the Wiesen family. Bill Spoult did the same before, so Grace learned from her husband.

Levison Group is a non-listed company that mainly operates real estate in Miami, Florida. It has a number of real estate projects of various sizes. The total assets of the company are about 7 billion US dollars, but the accumulated liabilities are as high as 5.3 billion US dollars. In other words, the current debt ratio of Levison Group has reached 75%.

High-debt operations in the real estate sector are almost the norm in this industry. However, once an industry trough is encountered, the result will be disastrous. Although the series of real estate projects developed by the Levison Group are of very high quality and they still have a lot of undeveloped plots with great potential in their hands, due to the continued downturn in the real estate industry since the late 1980s, the company’s capital chain has been Very nervous, almost on the edge of fracture.

The Levison family holds about 15% of the Levison Group. The nominal total family assets reach 1 billion US dollars, but if the debt is removed, there is basically not much left.

According to Bill Spoult’s survey, many investment companies on Wall Street are optimistic about the prospects of the Levison Group. Everyone has a foreboding that the downturn in the real estate industry is coming to an end. It’s just that no one has dared to take the risk in the snow because they don’t pay attention It may lose everything.

There are even some companies that are waiting for the Levison Group to go bankrupt, so that the company's high-quality assets can be divided up at very low prices.

Francis Levison, chairman and CEO of the Levison Group, has lived in New York most of the time in recent years. He is looking for funds to rescue his company. In fact, there are no shortage of people who do it, but most of them are locked up and turned into Levison Group’s increasing debt.

This time, if it can climb the giant Westeros system, all the problems faced by the Levison Group, which is less than tens of billions in size, can be easily solved.

It is not that the Levison Group has not tried to contact the Westeros system before. It is just that this kind of high-risk real estate investment can not reach Simon and is often PASSed. If you want to solve this problem, you can only face it in person. See Simon Westeros. This is why the Levison family will take advantage of the infamous tricks of getting their son and Grace's daughter to date.

Basically it is a helpless move in desperation.
