Hollywood New Century

Canary Wharf, also located on the Dougs Peninsula on the Thames River in London, brings together high-rise buildings in London. To the west is the old financial city of London, and Canary Wharf is called the new financial city.

Some of the tallest buildings in the UK are located here, First Canada Place is also known as Canary Wharf Tower, Eighth Canada Place is also known as HSBC Tower and Citibank Centre.

Large financial groups in the United Kingdom, Europe and the world have offices here, and most of the headquarters of large British banks and securities centers are located here.

Eighth Canada Place Centre, the 45-storey skyscraper built in 2002 is now owned by South Korea's National Pension Fund and leased by HSBC as its headquarters. The deal was also signed only recently.

At the same time, the European headquarters of Nine Bird Capital is located on the 30th floor of the HSBC Tower, and the 29th floor is also owned by Nine Birds, but it is rented out.

At the moment, Simon is looking down at the Thames from his office on the 30th floor.

The head of Nine Heads Capital's European region is Shimo Navarro, 45 years old, older than Nancy.

"Hey Mo, life in Europe doesn't seem to be easy," Simon said with a smile. It has been more than a week since he came to London, and the Greek government has also announced a fiscal deficit.

Greece's fiscal deficit appears, the international financial community wantonly look down on the euro economy, especially on Wall Street.

Shimo Navarro smiled helplessly: "This financial tsunami has revealed the crisis in the euro zone. Although the pound has not joined the euro zone, the UK is always a member of the EU!"

"Britain, Germany, France, and Italy are all European economic powerhouses. Although Italy is weaker, it is also large. With the addition of small developed countries such as Sweden and Switzerland, the energy of the EU cannot be underestimated." Simon turned around and came to Ximo In front of Navarro, he continued,

"I need European capital to support my acquisition of NBC Universal, HSBC, Barclays and Deutsche Bank, Credit Suisse has all been approached."

Simon shook his head and continued to explain: "It's still not enough, the support of their funds is not enough, and I need more capital to integrate."

"Boss, I remember that when I was talking to Nancy, the European side waited until the middle of next year, and it was close to 5 billion dollars? Is it not enough?" Shimo Navarro smiled wryly.

"Phoenix Fund can raise at least 8 billion to 10 billion in Asia, plus the 2 billion to 3 billion corporate bonds issued by Xinghai Entertainment, and Xinghai Entertainment's liquidity will definitely exceed 1 billion available funds at that time, all That adds up to nearly $20 billion!"

Simon sighed: "These are just plans. On Wall Street, Phoenix Fund bought a lot of stocks at the bottom, and there is not much capital left."

Simon can't take out his $2 billion. After all, Simon himself bought a lot of technology stocks before.

The remaining $2 billion is for Simon to buy football clubs, buy real estate, and invest in projects he loves.

"This time, we can make a lot of money by shorting the euro. We can do a large-scale fundraising at that time, and there should be more investors interested," suggested Shimo Navarro. After all, the reputation of Nine Head Bird Capital is very loud now. The global financial tsunami triggered by the subprime mortgage crisis in the United States has made Nine Head Bird Capital very full.

"Also, I'm afraid it's too late. The best thing now is to have strategic cooperation with large banks and make large loans," Simon sighed. This requires one or two large banks to be particularly optimistic about Xinghai Entertainment and fully support Xinghai Entertainment's acquisition of NBC. global.

"Do your best. Recently, I will meet with several major media capitals in Europe. The influence of Hollywood still exists. Where can direct capital injection be direct in film cooperation?" Simon said with a smile, after all, not to mention the UK , After all, it is an English-speaking area. Countries such as Germany, France, and Italy cannot compete with Hollywood at all in terms of movies.

They need to open up the market for the local film and television culture through Hollywood's perfect global distribution system. Isn't it the best to cooperate with large Hollywood entertainment groups!

Anyway, they have been doing this all the time, raising funds to Hollywood, and Xinghai Entertainment is now a part of Hollywood, and it is still a part that cannot be ignored.

In London in winter, it is humid, cold and rainy. Simon Pike, who left the Financial City, was led by Catherine Hills to the South Kensington area in the Kensington-Chelsea district of west London.

"Here, Hyde Park and Kensington Park are not far ahead, and there are also higher education institutions such as Imperial College London. Kensington Palace is not far from here. The royal family, foreign embassies and many nobles live in this area. "Katherine Hills introduced Simon to the surroundings of the new estate.

Katherine Hills is optimistic about a white three-story single-family garden villa with a construction area of ​​about 4,000 feet. It is surrounded by lush green trees and has good concealment.

"Yes, the Mediterranean-style Italian marble decoration style, the newly renovated house," Simon looked around and felt that it was good, even if he couldn't live, it must be a good investment.

Catherine Hills was relieved to see Simon's good expression, after all, it was much more difficult to choose than a beach house in France.

"By the way, boss, I have also seen a few manors in Saint-Tropez, France. Should I go there and see?" asked Catherine Hills, as Simon's personal assistant attorney, Catherine Hills Just to keep Simon satisfied.

Simon waved his hand and said, "After a while, you will stay with me recently, and Martha Cosby will send a copy of the information!" Martha Cosby collected information for Simon The evaluation report of the Premier League club is almost good. Since Martha Cosby is not with Simon in New York, it is necessary to keep someone who is handy for personal use.

Martha Cosby and Laura Collins, who have been with Simon for a few years, are now responsible for more work.

The little things in life, Katherine Hills, a lawyer, seems to be easier and faster to do, but Laura Collins and Martha Cosby must be Simon's favorite assistants.

"Boss, "Avatar" has its premiere on Oxford Street tonight!" Kathryn Hills suddenly reminded.

"Oh," Simon was stunned for a moment, looked at Catherine Hills, and smiled: "Catherine, have you been paying attention to movies too?"

Catherine Hills responded with a smile: "I just heard from the boss that this movie will have epoch-making significance, and this movie is also the most expensive movie at present, so I paid attention to it."

Simon narrowed his eyes, wondering if he was jealous or envious, "Avatar", 20th Century Fox is really lucky!
