Hollywood Hunter

Inside the restaurant of the Hilltop Villa south of Park City.

The time is January 22.

Sunday.

In the early morning, until the waitresses prepared breakfast and got up, Grace, who had been hiding in the guest bedroom that she had not slept in last night, reminded her to come to the restaurant with Girl A.

Simon was already sitting at the dining table with Celia Miller.

Good morning, glanced at a casual man who was discussing Ukrainian affairs with Celia wearing a black OL formal suit. Grace hesitated a little bit, but took the initiative to come to Simon and sit down, but she didn't dare to face him. Celia looked at each other.

Bryce Levison is missing from the restaurant.

However, it is obvious that the woman who is pampered on weekdays has no habit of getting up early.

Among the three women, no matter her age or appearance, she could not compare with the other two women, but her affection for the little man had penetrated into her bones, and she was willing to give everything for him, even if she died.

Therefore, although the little man didn't mean to wrong her last night, she took the initiative to move forward.

I'm actually jealous and want to fight.

Grace discovered another thing. There are always rumors in the circle that he likes other people's wives. However, this seems to be only the appearance. The fact... seems even more hateful.

Ridiculous little bastard.

but……

Anyway.

As long as I can be by his side so occasionally, anything will do.

After taking a small bite of breakfast, her mind gradually calmed down, and Grace began to pay attention to the discussion between the little man beside him and Celia on the opposite side.

For overseas investment, Simon has never naively thought that he has money and is willing to spend money to open the market in other countries, so doing so will only become a fat sheep being slaughtered. Therefore, only if a country's foreign economic policy is sufficiently continuous and stable, or that the Westeros system has considerable influence and control over the target market, will he release investment.

The former is China and the latter is Ukraine.

Moreover, the Ukrainian side is temporarily limited to Rivne Oblast.

The previous concessions of the Kiev authorities regarding the replacement of the governor of the Rivne region made Simon determined to further increase investment in this area.

Simon intends to turn Ukraine, the Rivne region to be precise, into a huge ‘European factory’.

For general overseas capital, Ukraine’s most attractive resources are probably the agriculture supported by fertile black soil and the huge industrial system inherited from the Soviet Union.

However, in Simon's view, Ukraine's most abundant resource is manpower.

At this stage, Ukraine has 52 million people, and the average salary is less than US$30, which is equivalent to China on the other side of the ocean.

Twenty years later in my memory, China’s economy has taken off, and the per capita income of Ukraine, which has been turbulent for a long time, is still only two or three hundred dollars. This is still an absolute high figure in official statistics.

The country’s economic downturn has caused more than 9 million people in Ukraine to leave their homes. In order to survive in various European countries, they are engaged in various lowest-level occupations. This proportion accounts for 20% of the country’s total population. Only the Middle Eastern countries that have to flee from home due to wars Can compare.

Let alone in the future.

Simon’s current plan is to use Ukraine’s low-cost human resources to turn the Rivne region into a small “European factory”, attracting enterprises and capital from within and outside the Westeros system to establish a large number of various types in this region. Labor factory.

Compared with this plan, Simon's previous series of investments in Ronov Region can only be regarded as a trifle.

As Nokia has become the world’s largest manufacturer of mobile communication equipment, mobile phone production in particular will continue to explode in the next few years, eventually reaching the horrific sales of hundreds of millions of mobile phones each year, and the lowest level of assembly workers required for Nokia mobile phone production will also It will reach hundreds of thousands. If the various supporting industrial chains are included, the overall job creation will reach millions.

Nokia's main foundry base will choose to set up in China.

However, due to certain considerations that eggs cannot be placed in a basket, Simon plans to place part of Nokia's mobile phone production in Ukraine.

In the near-term plan, Nokia will build an assembly plant with an annual output of 1 million mobile phones in Livni. This alone will bring 3,000 direct jobs, and various supporting facilities will indirectly drive at least tens of thousands of long-term job opportunities. .

This is just the beginning.

Only in 1994, Nokia shipped 12.7 million mobile phone devices, and it is expected to reach 20 million in 1995. After the outbreak of the mobile communications industry in 1996 and 1997, this data will continue to double growth.

Simon's plan is to place 20% to 30% of Nokia's mobile phone production in Ukraine based on specific circumstances.

Therefore, Nokia alone can create hundreds of thousands of direct and indirect jobs for the Rivne region in the future.

Of course, Nokia is not the only one in the plan.

The presence of other affiliated companies of the Westeros system can also achieve this effect.

At that time, Rivne, the capital of Rivne Oblast, will be more prosperous than Kiev, the capital of Ukraine. With the deepening of economic penetration, the Westeros system's control over Rivne Oblast and the entire Ukraine will also increase. The stronger.

When it comes to the jobs of millions of people, no one dares to act rashly on the interests of the Westeros system in Ukraine.

Moreover, Simon will not unrestrainedly support the Rivne area. He has even considered how to re-draw the wealth accumulated after the development of this area in the future to avoid industrial upgrading and get rid of the lowest foundry base. fate.

The method is actually very simple.

real estate.

A house, decades of mortgage, bundled several families for a lifetime, simply neat.

kill without spilling blood.

Therefore, if there are some unmanageable changes in the future, Simon can leave only real estate in the Rivne area, and it may be the last real estate worthless. The wealth accumulated by millions of people through decades of hard work will be The Westeros system quietly drained the transfer.

With these deep-level considerations, Simon would not tell others easily, even if Celia, who had had a skin relationship with him at the table at this time, he would only let Celia execute according to his own plan.

However, even if Simon hadn't pointed it out, Celia was faintly aware of the huge and far-reaching layout of the little man in front of her.

Unlike a woman next to Simon who has given up her own inability to extricate herself, Celia, who was forced to withdraw from Washington's officialdom, is still more concerned about the powerful hidden power brought to her by the Westeros system.

Celia enjoys the feeling of speaking to the Westeros system of many heads of state at the UN General Assembly, the feeling of personally participating in the creation of a private military force, and the feeling of directly bargaining with the president of a country or even tit-for-tat.

Celia did not deny that she was a woman of power.

Originally, I was a little dissatisfied with helping men deal with all kinds of trivial matters in business and even life. During this time, especially after Simon's sorting out this morning, Celia realized that the man seemed to have come here at his fingertips, and had already been laid out unknowingly. A huge chess game.

And she is no longer reduced to a chess piece like other people in the world, at least she is also the red-sleeved red sleeve of the hand-made tea beside the chess player.

As the breakfast was drawing to a close, Simon said to Celia with a certain light in his eyes: "I will return to Los Angeles in the morning. If there are no other arrangements, I will leave for Ukraine next Wednesday. If you don’t want to go there with me again in the short term. Just let Emily go along."

Celia heard the words and shook her head immediately: "No, I'll go together."

Simon nodded: "This is better."

Grace did not interject during the entire breakfast. She knew that the little man beside her was a slick and slick guy. Usually, she seldom makes people around her feel cold. She has not taken the initiative to speak to her just now, not because she is ignoring, but because she is close enough. no need.

Grace did not take the initiative to speak up either, quietly being an observer.

Now that the little man said that he was leaving in the morning, Grace couldn't help but look over after having finished her breakfast.

Simon noticed her gaze, turned his head and smiled and asked, "When are you going back to New York?"

If it weren't for Simon, Grace would never come to Park City this weekend.

However, since she is here, she cannot withdraw as soon as the man leaves. This is a bit too obvious. After thinking about it, she said: "Tomorrow morning, and I will attend the Liz Carbon brand event in the evening."

Simon listened to Grace’s soft voice, and couldn’t help reaching out to grab her delicate chin and squeeze it. When she closed her hand, she scraped off the tip of the opponent’s nose, watching the woman look at him and Xi with an aversion and shame. Leah flashed back and forth in a panic, and said with a smile: "Then I will lend you a place to live here, and Zoe and others will also leave it to you."

Grace opened her mouth to refuse, feeling the gentle gaze of the man trying to melt her, and subconsciously nodded: "Yeah."

Came from Thursday to attend the Sundance opening ceremony and quietly completed the secret meeting with Bush Sr. The premiere of "This Man Comes from the Earth" has been completed, and some of the newcomers who should be wooed last night have also been communicated. Simon this time All arrangements for the Park City trip have been completed.

After breakfast, without stopping too much, Simon drove off directly to Salt Lake City, the capital of Utah, where he would return to Los Angeles by private jet. Celia Miller left Park City with Simon along the way, except that she would fly to the east coast in Salt Lake City.

After Simon left, Grace immediately felt that the villa seemed a lot vacant.

In fact, my heart is empty.

I couldn't help but arrange for Zoe to take care of the inside and outside of the villa like the hostess, which gave birth to a sense of satisfaction.

It just feels like I have forgotten something.

Until eleven o’clock in the morning, after finishing the housework, I called the two children in New York to explain some trivial matters. Finally, I sat in a living room on the second floor of a villa overlooking Park City and drank. With the coffee that Yi just brought, Grace suddenly remembered that there was another guy in the villa.

When he came to the master bedroom, a certain lazy woman hadn't gotten up yet.

He shakes the other party unceremoniously and looks at the traces on Bryce Levison’s white skin when he sits up in a daze. Grace even develops a strange envy. People's physique is different. She is that kind. The woman who is hard to leave marks on her body, Bryce Levison, who has been pampered since childhood, is the kind of system that can get out of the water with a pinch.

Then Grace couldn't help but pinch again.

Bryce Levison was suffering from pain and protested dissatisfiedly, but at the urging of Grace, she began to dress.

After washing, she went downstairs and learned that Simon had left, and Grace seemed to have the intention of driving her away. Bryce Levison didn't seem to be with him, and she suddenly fell back, just not leaving anyway.

After communicating with Simon yesterday, Bryce Levison's purpose of this Park City trip has been achieved.

Follow-up is not something she, a housewife, needs to care about.

Although I don’t like the cold weather in Park City, after staying for a day and a night, especially with such a big house and a group of maids who are more considerate than their servants, Bryce Levison feels that this place is actually Not bad.

So plan to stay for a few days.

Not going.

She is actually very smart.

Since the man did not send her out when he left, and allowed Grace to borrow, there was no reason why she could not stay.

What's more, being so miserable by him last night, this is compensation.

As for what his own man in Florida thinks, since he cruelly sent himself to'the sheep into the tiger's mouth', she should be psychologically prepared. She knows her husband's temperament well and chased her, a beautiful and lovely man who was ten years younger. After getting started, Fengzi got married, and they did not sign a prenuptial agreement.

Therefore, in order to avoid half of the family property, he now dares not even divorce.

What's more, the man last night was Simon Westeros. I can feel that the other party is quite satisfied with her, and that is actually a very generous guy to women.

All in all, Bryce Levison doesn't think she has any worries.

In the evening, she was fighting for a comfortable master bedroom, threatening Grace to let her son bully her daughter, but failed, and finally the two shared the big bed.

Grace left the next day.

The other party has a job, but she is not as leisurely as her.

There was some worry at first, but when the baby-faced waitress named Zoe left with a few others, two waitresses and two guards came to take over.

So stay at ease.

Go to watch those weird movies during the day, ski, and attend various parties at night. Probably because of her relationship with Westeros, all circles in Park City were open to her, and she also met some Hollywood superstars, which made Bryce feel a sense of superiority that she did not have in her previous life.

I also met with a chat while skiing on Wednesday morning.

A handsome guy.

I just starred in a film that got a good review in Park City, and I talked to her about the plot of the movie, and it looked very energetic.

Although she likes luxury life and requires exquisiteness in everything around her, Bryce Levison has a kind of pride in her bones in terms of men and women. She despises those in the circle of ladies who have affair with restaurant waiters or fitness coaches. Women, feel very out of style, and naturally don't feel much about a beautiful man's approach.

Perceiving the other party's entanglement, Bryce quickly loses patience and directly claims that she is Simon Westero's lover. If the other party does not disappear in front of her for 10 seconds, she will let him disappear forever in Hollywood.

The two female guards guarding not far from her just approached.

I probably heard some news. Looking at the two menacing guard girls, I thought of something. The beautiful guy immediately understood that Blyth was not joking, with an embarrassing smile on his face. He turned and hurried away because he was too anxious, so he rushed straight down On the guardrail of the ski resort.

Later, I heard that I broke my right leg.

At that time, Bryce just stood there heartlessly gloating, and then decided to stay in Park City until Sundance closed.

The tax investigation controversy against the Levison Group was raised high, and then gently put down again.

On the second day of the meeting between Bryce Levison and Simon, Francis Levison was released on bail. The magistrate lowered the bail to 5 million on the grounds of safeguarding the interests of thousands of employees of the Levison Group and many creditors. U.S. dollars, and finally Levison's properties in Florida and New York as collateral.

The IRS’s tax inspections against the Levison Group are no longer so fanciful. An IRS spokesperson also publicly stated in an interview with reporters on Monday that the Levison Group’s problems are not big and the matter will be over within two weeks.

Simon asked Bryce to tell Francis Levison that this tax inspection was not an inside story that he ordered. After this catastrophe, coupled with the reactions of many people inside and outside the Levison family during the detention, Francis Levison thoroughly recognized the fact that cooperation with Simon Westeros was his best way out.

Therefore, on the afternoon of his release from prison, Francis Levison personally called Simon to discuss the Westeros system’s share in the Levison Group.

1.5 billion US dollars, 35% stake.

Francis Levison didn't have any bargaining this time.

Faced with the pressure of many creditors, those shareholders who did not want Simon to enter the market had to compromise.

The specific agreement must be negotiated in detail.

Moreover, in order to ensure that this transaction will not have unexpected hidden debt and legal risks, Westeros will also conduct a detailed audit of the Levison Group.

Calculated, it will take at least one month for this transaction to be completed.

Simon handed the matter to James Rebald, the father of the female assistant, and spent another two days in Los Angeles to deal with Daenerys Entertainment Group affairs. On January 25, we set off again to Ukraine.
