The time of indulgence lasted until late at night, and after all, it was necessary to end the song.

After sending off all the guests, the employees of the party company cleaned up the mess and evacuated. It was already 12:00 in the morning.

Janet had taken a shower and walked out of the bathroom barefoot in a light suspender nightdress. She saw Simon sitting on the single sofa by the floor-to-ceiling window in the bedroom, still wearing her evening shirt and trousers, holding a thick book in her hand. book, flipping through it with a slight frown.

So he walked over, curled up like a cat in the man's arms, took the book from his hand and glanced at it. It was the oriental novel called "Dream of Red Mansions" that he mentioned a few days ago, but it was the original Chinese version.

She has only read a small part of the English version so far. Looking at the square characters with too many strokes, Janet suddenly felt a little dizzy. She threw the book aside at will, and stretched her arms around the man's neck, saying: " If you don't like it, we can rent a venue for a party later instead of at home."

Saying so, Janet had a smile on her face.

Having known each other for so long, I can naturally realize that he is a person who cares about personal space very much.

Then.

The lion's territory was 'invaded' by more than 200 of the same species for a whole night. You can imagine how uncomfortable he would be.

"That would seem too insincere," Simon noticed the smile on the woman's face in his arms, smiled as well, lowered his head and kissed her lips, and said, "I was just thinking, maybe I can buy this place at the end of the year. , and will be used exclusively for parties in the future."

end of the year.

Janet recalled the recent trend of the North American stock market, and listened to a flaw in the man's words, but did not expose it, nodded and said, "Okay."

Simon noticed the slyness that flashed in Janet's eyes, and realized something, just smiled. There are too many inhumane secrets in himself. If you are on guard at all times, the two of them will not be able to get along at all.

In fact, Simon occasionally consciously reveals some things to women, such as the "Dream of Red Mansions" that she had just left aside. The last time he talked about it by accident, he took the time to have people buy novels, an English translation for women, and an original Chinese version for himself.

It is a pity that the Chinese version did not find the simplified version, but the traditional version was obtained. Of course, there is nothing wrong with reading it.

Thinking like this, Simon stretched out his index finger and wiped it on the woman's lips, but he couldn't erase her smile, so he said, "Baby, what would you do if you found out that I was actually an alien one day?"

Janet's eyelashes flashed, and her face showed anticipation, and said, "Have an alien baby."

Simon nodded with satisfaction: "It seems that my plan to invade the earth will not be hindered too much."

"Hehe," Janet laughed, changed a more comfortable position in Simon's arms, and asked again, "Didn't Goldberg give you a check before he left, how much?"

Simon took the "Dream of Red Mansions" back, found a cheque in the pages of the book and handed it to Janet.

Janet took it over, glanced at it, and said in surprise: "For $1 million, Fox is really generous."

"Yeah, I didn't expect that either."

After the "Butterfly Effect" box office was released the next weekend, in order to let Simon cooperate with the follow-up promotion, Fox not only gave him 300,000 US dollars, but also promised to pay Simon a bonus after the film's North American box office exceeded 100 million.

Fox Pictures president Ronald Goldberg also attended tonight's party and left with this check.

1,000,000.

It was beyond Simon's expectations.

Ronald Goldberg's contract expires next year, and in Simon's view, the possibility of News Corp and the other party's renewal is almost zero.

So this check is likely due to Barry Diller's intervention.

Barry Diller will definitely step into Fox's operations after Ronald Goldberg's departure, a check apparently to get ahead with Simon.

Of course, Simon's bonus isn't really an exaggeration relative to the profits Fox Pictures can make from the entire "Butterfly Effect" project.

The entire production and publicity cost of Fox Films for "Butterfly Effect" is only about 20 million US dollars, and the North American box office of more than 100 million US dollars is enough to bring the company a net profit of no less than 30 million US dollars.

Janet played with the check in her hand, but after a while she laughed again and said, "If Fox knew that you had already received more than 30 million US dollars from the stock index futures market in just over a month, perhaps he would not have taken out this amount. $1 million, and you wouldn't care too much anyway."

Since Simon established 4,500 long S\u0026P 500 futures contracts in mid-May, the S\u0026P 500 has risen from around 270 at the beginning to 287 at the close on Friday.

The long contracts held by the Westeros Company open positions between 270 and 275 points, with an average of about 272 points.

then.

For more than a month, the average index increase of all 4,500 contracts was 15 points. Each index increase means a profit of 2.25 million US dollars. The book profit of the long S\u0026P 500 contracts held by Westeros has reached 3,375. Ten thousand U.S. dollars.

$33.75 million is just the beginning.

Still, Simon took Janet's little hand and felt the check together

The unique texture of paper, still said: "Of course I care, this is 1 million US dollars, many people can't make so much money in their lifetime."

Janet raised her face and looked at Simon, and said, "You already have so much money, so what are you going to do?"

Simon considered for a moment, but shook his head again.

Janet puzzled: "What? Or, are you going to be like the stingy old man Warren Buffett, only make money without spending money?"

According to recent public figures, Warren Buffett's net worth is now only around $2 billion, matching the wealth of the Janet family. However, Buffett has accumulated such a huge wealth almost from scratch by relying entirely on value investing. His fortune is legendary, and his fame in North America over the years has become a household name.

Simon laughed when he heard Janet call Buffett a 'stingy old man', pinched the woman's delicate face, and said, "It's not good to call someone that in private. Besides, I'm not like him, just The money in hand is still too little.”

"I didn't call him that in private, I called him that in person, stingy old man," Janet said arrogantly, opened Simon's hand, and then said, "Too little? You're only 19 years old. , little bastard, tens of millions of dollars, is it still less?"

"Of course," Simon nodded, "basically can't do anything."

"What exactly do you want to do?"

"A lot," Simon looked at the woman in his arms and said, "Of course, the ultimate goal must be to conquer the world."

Janet nodded her head and said persistently: "Then, say something that can be bought with money, this is easier to achieve, right?"

"What money can buy, first of all, must have a very good house. However, I hope that every city in the world that I may go to has a house belonging to Westeros. Los Angeles, New York, Chicago , San Francisco, Miami, Las Vegas, London, Paris, Berlin, Rome, Venice, Amsterdam, etc., etc.," Simon counted at random, seeing that the woman in his arms had widened his eyes and added with a smile: " Of course, Australia's Melbourne, Canberra, Brisbane and the like must also have it."

Janet heard Simon mention Australia, and her long eyelashes flickered a few times, thinking that it was really few.

Not to mention the cost of buying countless luxury houses in major cities around the world, but the annual maintenance cost of these properties, it is estimated that few people in this world can afford it.

but.

This should be Janet Johnston's boyfriend.

So he asked, "What about the others?"

Simon continued: "If you want to go to places you are interested in at any time, of course you need a private jet, and it must be an ultra-long-range private jet that can connect any two cities in the world. Probably, a Boeing 747 is enough to modify a little. Use it. You know, I'm a very insecure person, and I'm sure I have a spare, but buying two is too much of a follower of Air Force One. So, better buy one more."

Three Boeing 747s.

this.

How much does a Boeing 747 cost?

and.

If you buy so many planes, you must have your own airport, right?

On top of that, a private jet can be much more expensive to maintain than a house. Many rich people just choose to rent private jets because they cannot afford the annual cost of about 10% of the cost of private jets.

but.

Although it cost some money, this wish seems to be cooler.

So he asked again with some anticipation: "Is there any more?"

Simon also continued: "I hope to have a private island of my own."

Um?

Janet was suddenly disappointed.

A private island.

This is too easy.

Shaking the check in her hand, Janet looked at Simon and said, "Private islands are easy to buy. Our family has a private island in the Aegean Sea. Grandfather bought it more than ten years ago. It looked like more than ten square miles, and it cost only $3 million at the time."

Simon shook his head and said, "I'm not talking about this kind of island."

Janet blinked: "What is that?"

Simon thought for a while, supported the woman to stand up from his arms, and dragged her to the study next door.

A world map hangs on the wall of the study.

Simon picked up the black pen next to the writing board on the other side, and under Janet's curious eyes, he circled a small 'island' on the world map and said, "I think it's good here, the end of the world. , and the area is large enough. I don’t want to buy an island that can be crossed in dozens of minutes. Here, we can walk for a month.”

Tasmania.

Janet looked at the island surrounded by Simon, and was finally a little surprised.

Tasmania is located in the southeastern corner of the Australian mainland. From the map, it looks like an earring on the mainland. The island also has the only egg-laying mammal found in the world, the platypus.

Janet is still very familiar with Tasmania, because the island happens to be across the sea from Melbourne, where she grew up.

However, Tasmania is by no means comparable to a small island in the Aegean Sea with only more than 20 square miles, because this island has a total area of ​​more than 20,000 square miles, which is completely different from those private islands that can be traded. It's not the same concept.

North America such as CNN owner Ted Turner, etc.

Super-farmers who like to buy land have at most one or two million acres of private land. The total area of ​​Tasmania, which is more than 20,000 square miles, is more than 10 million acres. If he could buy the island in its entirety, Simon would instantly become one of the world's largest owners of private land.

After looking at the world map in front of her for a while, Janet turned to the man beside her and said, "Simon, this island is a bit big. Do you know how big Tasmania is?"

"68,401 square kilometers," Simon skillfully reported a number, still sticking to the metric system he liked to use, noticing the doubt in the woman's eyes, and took the initiative to explain: "You know, Jenny. I used to live in In a very small house, there is almost nothing of my own. Now, since I have the opportunity, I may still have the strength, and of course I have to realize some of my dreams. "

Janet felt the vicissitudes of life that a 19-year-old boy should have in Simon's tone. She grabbed the man's hand and shook it, nodded and said, "Simon, we will definitely be able to achieve this."

Simon grabbed the woman's little hand with his backhand and said, "Of course. So, go ahead and help me. Last time, I just did a little thing and let it go. This time, hold on a little more."

"No," to Simon's surprise, Janet shook her head directly this time, leaned on the man sideways, and said, "Little bastard, I find that I prefer to wrap around you like a vine, you I can climb as high as I grow."

Simon nodded and said, "It seems, I like this too."

"Haha," Janet smiled and scratched Simon's body, as if trying to find out where it would be easier to wrap around, "Actually, if you want to realize what you just said, you don't need to wait until later, we will do it now. can start."

"Um?"

Janet shook the cheque that she was holding in the other hand, and then gestured towards Tasmania on the map, saying, "68,401 square kilometers, which is larger than many states in the United States. Well, it's impossible to buy them all at once. However, from now on, if we buy some every year, one day this island will be completely ours. Tasmania is actually very desolate, most of it is primitive The forest and the barren mountains are next to each other. Just this $1 million is enough for us to buy a large piece of land. By the way, there are hundreds of thousands of people on the island. If you want to do this, you must plan carefully. Well, it's better to set up a lot of shell companies and buy them unknowingly, otherwise it will definitely cause land prices to rise."

Simon listened to Janet's more and more excited tone, raised his wrist and looked at his watch, and said, "If that's the case, then leave this matter to you. However, now we'd better go to sleep."

Janet was dragged out of the study by Simon obediently, the man took a shower, and the two embraced on the big bed.

But still very excited.

I discussed with Simon what to do after buying the entire Tasmania island, and then talked about his other two wishes. It was like this until more than two o'clock in the morning, feeling the steady breathing of the man beside her, but she still didn't fall asleep.

Repeatedly recalled the bits and pieces of the dream in this late night.

At some point, I suddenly understood.

In many moments of getting along, she could clearly feel that there were too many things bound in his heart.

perhaps.

All he really wanted was freedom after all.
