Whether or not Lehman Brothers followed suit, it did not have much impact on Simon's operation in the stock index futures market. Noah Scott made a special trip from Chicago to repair the relationship, and Simon naturally wouldn't turn him away.

In this country, Simon wants to go further next, and it's simply impossible to get rid of his ties to investment banks. Although I still don't trust Noah Scott and Lehman Brothers too much, the information that Noah Scott just revealed seems sincere compared to several other investment banks that are still silent.

After dinner, Simon and Janet parted with Noah Scott, just after eight o'clock in the evening.

Inside the Presidential Suite on the top floor of the Plaza Hotel.

Janet hung their coats on the hanger, went to the study, saw that the man had already sat down by the window with his usual hardcover notebook, leaned over on the back of the sofa and asked, "Simon, what are you going to do? ?"

Holding the 16-note notebook, still bound by hand, Simon drew lines on white paper with a pencil, filling in the notes casually.

Madonna's new album is due out next month, a dance-inspired album called "you-can-dance". Simon had previously handed him a song that fit the album's style. What was being written at this time was another song, which Simon intended as the ending song for Pulp Fiction.

However, Simon's mind is not here now, he just wants to find something in his hands for a while.

Despite being reminded by Noah Scott that his operations in the stock index futures market had been exposed, Simon found that there was nothing he could do to prevent it from being exposed now.

Hearing Janet's question, Simon turned his head and smiled helplessly at the woman, saying, "I can't do anything, Simon Westeros is about to become famous again."

Janet smiled, turned the sofa, and sat down beside Simon.

In front of the two of them is the floor-to-ceiling glass window overlooking the entire Central Park. At this time, it is dark outside the window. Only the buildings on both sides of the park are brightly lit.

Holding the man's arm and watching him fill in the notes on the score, Janet said again after a while, "Actually, there's nothing wrong with the exposure, and you didn't do anything illegal."

Simon shook his head and said, "A nineteen-year-old has earned more than a billion dollars in just a few months, isn't that enough of a violation?"

"Hehe, that can only mean that my little man is too powerful," Janet leaned over and kissed Simon's face, changing the subject: "Simon, since we can't change it, we shouldn't think about it. Let's watch it today. What do you think of those houses?"

Simon also tried his best to let go of his inner powerlessness, and then Janet said: "It's not very good."

Janet said with a little anticipation: "I think the penthouse on 68th Street is good. It has a three-story structure with a total area of ​​more than 1,200 square meters and faces Central Park. Although the price of $15 million is a bit high, this is Fifth Avenue. Oh, the house will definitely appreciate in the future. Even if you don’t like the baroque style of the interior, we can renovate it.”

Following Janet's description, Simon recalled the luxury Fifth Avenue apartment he had seen during the day.

The 15-story light gray building built in the 1950s is on the top three floors, with a total of 26 rooms, 3 halls, 2 kitchens, 6 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms. It also has facilities such as a gym, a wine cellar, and a private screening room. I noticed that Janet unknowingly Using the metric system, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said, "Call the real estate agent tomorrow, and we'll buy this one."

Such an apartment on the Upper East Side, next to Central Park, in the era before Simon's rebirth, the price could easily exceed 100 million yuan.

At $15 million, Simon doesn't think it's expensive at all.

Of course, in 1987, $15 million is definitely a sky-high price, especially when the North American stock market has just collapsed recently, the U.S. property market will definitely plummet in the future. In Simon's memory, two years later, the famous Empire State Building sold for only $42 million.

Janet saw Simon agree, but she had a hesitant expression on her face, and said, "If you don't like it, let's take a look."

"Buy it," Simon turned his head and kissed the woman's cheek, and said, "Actually, I don't really like the entire Manhattan house. Since we want to buy it, one of us must be satisfied."

Janet blinked a few times: "What kind of house do you like?"

"You know, it's modern, minimalist, and naturally it's the highest floor. I want to stand by the window and see all the other buildings under my feet." Simon said, suddenly moved, put the hand in his hand. Turning a page in the notebook, picking up the pencil and quickly drawing, he said slowly, "Probably, that's it."

Janet leaned over curiously.

After waiting quietly for a while, I saw a building that was probably a FRP structure appeared on the manuscript.

The building has a conical shape as a whole, but a terrace juts out from the top floors. Later, Simon also marked a letter on the side, which seemed to be 'a' at first, um, it should not be finished, and it was quickly changed to 'w'.

'w' is obviously 'westeros'.

Westeros Building.

Simon's painting skills can be seen from the original draft of "Lola Run". A few minutes later, some high-rise building silhouettes were randomly drawn around the building.

Buildings and the twin towers that are taller come to the fore.

Janet waited for Simon to finish painting, she couldn't help but directly took the notebook in his hand, blinked a few times, and pointed to the platform at the top of the building: "This, what is it?"

Simon explained: "The helipad."

"Then," Janet paused and said, "How tall is it?"

"If I don't want to see the Empire State Building outside my bedroom," Simon thought for a while, and said, "It should be more than 500 meters."

Janet briefly fantasized about living in a penthouse in a building more than 500 meters high, then slowly turned her head to look at Simon, and said, "Can this really be built?"

"Since I made more than one billion dollars in more than five months, it's no problem to build another building," Simon said, thinking for a while, and said, "If you start preparing now, maybe, 3 years Construction can start later. For such a building, including all the expenses such as the land, 500 million US dollars should be enough. Of course, the various internal facilities must be very expensive, and there will be future maintenance costs. But if you can build a building like this, it doesn’t matter if it costs a billion dollars.”

Janet's expression was still a little dull, and she put the notebook back into Simon's hand, rubbed her arm around the man's arm like a kitten, and said, "Little bastard, I want to live in it now."

Simon took a pencil to carefully draw the letter 'w' that had just been temporarily changed. Fortunately, he didn't finish drawing the 'a', or else the Avengers Building would be revealed. In memory, the Avengers Building in the Marvel Universe series of movies is probably only the same height as the Empire State Building. However, since it is going to be built, Simon will naturally follow his own preferences.

After drawing a few more strokes, Simon listened to Janet and pointed to the part above the apron at the top of the building, and said, "At that time, the top ten floors will all be Westeros's."

"Mmmm," Jenny nodded and said, "I will change my husband's surname in the future."

Simon smiled and leaned his head on the woman's head, teasing: "Just to live in a big house, it's too spineless."

"Haha," Janet smiled and pointed to the part below the platform, "What about these?"

"Since it's Westeros Building," Simon said, "it should naturally be the headquarters of Westeros Corporation. Of course, it must be carefully planned, and these need to be handed over to professionals."

Janet said again: "Where are you going to build this house?"

Simon pointed to the right side outside the window, and said, "The corner next to it is good. If Fifth Avenue is not good, then move it further east and build it next to Madison Avenue, so that Central Park is still under your feet."

The two discussed a few words in a low voice before Janet turned back to the moment and asked, "Since this is the case, little bastard, are we still buying a house?

"Of course, where else do you live?" Simon nodded and said, "Just the one you just mentioned. The building on the drawing is planned for a few years, and then built for a few more years. Maybe it will be already when you move in. It's seven or eight years later. We can't live without a house for seven or eight years."

"In this case, I will try to press the price again. It is estimated that 12 million US dollars can be won. Now that the stock market has crashed, the house price will definitely fall sharply. The 15 million US dollars is the price before the crash," Janet said. He continued, "Little bastard, when the building on the drawing is completed, are you planning to move to New York?"

Simon shook his head and said, "Of course, you can live wherever you want. In the future, we will have a private jet, even if we fly from New York to Los Angeles to work every day."

Janet patted Simon lightly and said, "I don't want to be so tossed."

Simon smiled and said, "Then I go to work every day, and you come to be a housewife."

Janet immediately shook her head again: "No, I'm not a housewife."

Simon nodded indifferently: "Well, do whatever you want."

After chatting for a while, Janet took another look at the drawing in front of Simon and said, "Little bastard, in fact, I still think it's a little unlikely."

"You just need to watch me build it," Simon said, and added: "However, you must work hard to make money next."

Janet couldn't help but said, "Who just said that making more than one billion dollars at the age of 19 is already very illegal."

Simon thought for a while and said, "Since it has been known by many people, there is no need to cover it up. Perhaps, this should be considered a good thing."

Before that, Simon did a lot of things, always subconsciously making his actions seem less conspicuous. Although the results are often a bit dazzling, he has not given up this behavior, which may be a little bit of ignorance.

Now, if the operation of the stock index futures market is exposed, Simon's next unexpected thing should not be so shocking.

You know, $1 billion is definitely very valuable in this era.

"Forbes" magazine just started to count the world's richest list a few years ago. According to the latest data this year, the world's richest people are only those oil families in the Middle East. There are only three companies with a wealth of more than 10 billion US dollars. The fourth-ranked media family, the Newhouse family, has fallen directly to $8.7 billion, and the threshold for the top 10 richest list is only $5.4 billion.

Even if all taxes were removed, Simon would have been able to squeeze into the top 100 of the Forbes rich list at this time.

In 1987, the global population officially exploded

Breaking 5 billion, Simon, as the richest 100 of these 5 billion people, can imagine that he is definitely the top group of people in the pyramid now.

In just one year, an 18-year-old teenager suddenly squeezed into the list of the 100 richest people in the world from a state of poverty and whiteness. As long as this state is accepted by the outside world, Simon will do anything beyond the imagination of the outside world. Probably not too obtrusive.

Simon continued to stay in New York for another day and then returned to Los Angeles again, while Janet stayed in New York and continued to work on the house.

On October 30, Simon returned to Los Angeles, and the first-week box office of "Death Is Coming" has also been released. It earned 18.16 million US dollars in seven days. Whether it is Fox's internal or external media, it is generally predicted that the film's final North American box office will break through. $60 million.

Although it is far from being comparable to "Lola Run" and "Butterfly Effect", in one year, there are two top ten films at the North American box office and one film in the top fifteen at the North American box office. Simon's fame as a blockbuster filmmaker was solidified at this point.

Simon also took the time to complete the script of "Instinct" in his spare time in New York for a few days. After returning to Los Angeles, he handed the script to Jonathan Friedman, and asked him and Amy to negotiate a new film with Fox.

Three films in a row have been hugely successful, and this time, it's natural for Simon to fight for more.

On the other side, after Noah Scott personally visited Simon that day, the two sides still kept in touch in the following days, and Simon heard news about him on Wall Street from time to time.

This continued until November. Although it had been expected, Simon was caught off guard when things broke out.

The fuse was on Lehman Brothers' side, and it was also related to Soros, who Simon has been paying close attention to.

As the broker of the Quantum Fund, Lehman Brothers suffered heavy losses in the sell-off on October 22 due to the early leak of the news, which caused the S\u0026P 500 index to plummet. After a period of deliberation, Soros formally took Lehman Brothers to court, and also involved Simon.
