Simon quickly learned of Lehman Brothers' impending reconciliation with the Quantum Fund through James Leibold's connections.

In the past five months of Westeros' stock index futures operation, the only place that can be called a "fracture" was the collapse of the S\u0026P 500 on October 22.

Lehman Brothers accidentally leaked the news that the large contract of the Quantum Fund was about to be sold. As a result, the S\u0026P 500 index, which had just stabilized, collapsed again. Westeros happened to liquidate the last batch of short contracts in just a few hours. This coincidence is indeed full of traces of human manipulation.

Now.

Media pressure, secret investigation, use of eavesdropping methods, increased psychological pressure through questioning, and finally forced Lehman Brothers to cooperate with phishing law enforcement. , everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as Lehman Brothers and the Quantum Fund reach a settlement, it will be impossible for agencies such as the Federal Court for the Southern District of New York to drag Westeros down through the investigation of the case. As for the rest, if the authorities continue to hold back, Simon doesn't mind spending tens of millions of dollars in a vigorous lawsuit.

In order to avoid unforeseen complications, all parties obviously do not want to delay the matter for too long.

then.

On November 23, Lehman Brothers and the Quantum Fund quickly signed a settlement agreement.

Exactly the same day.

Madonna officially released her latest remix album "you-can-dance".

Unlike studio and live albums, remix albums are usually re-arranged versions of songs from an artist's previous albums. Of course, if you want an album to sell well, it's not all old songs. Madonna had originally prepared a new song called "spotlight" for the album. However, after Simon came up with another song, McQueen decisively cut off the very mediocre "spotlight" and replaced it with the song provided by Simon.

The news that Simon would write songs for Madonna's new album had spread months ago, and the publicity for Madonna's new album was almost completely unrecognized in the face of the explosive news of Simon's sudden billionaire status. How many waves.

It was confirmed that Lehman Brothers was about to reconcile with the Quantum Fund, and Simon's public relations team also began to cool down the media heat that lasted for more than half a month.

immediately.

When Madonna's new album hit the shelves, many people's eyes were instantly attracted, because the song titled by Simon was called "celebration".

celebration: to celebrate.

A guy who made more than a billion dollars in just over five months and now evaded federal investigation by celebrating with a song called "celebration" is so fitting.

Most importantly, both ordinary fans and the North American media were almost quick to agree that "celebration" completely blew up every other song on Madonna's remix album.

Speaking of which, "celebration" is actually a nostalgic pop dance song released by the original time and space Mai Queen in 2009. Simon wasn't a fan of McQueen's music, but "celebration" was one of the few Madonna songs he really liked.

Although it is a song from 2009, this pop dance song with a strong sense of percussion is completely in line with the album style of "you-can-dance" in terms of style, rhythm and song content. And "celebration" far surpassed Madonna's early hits like "holiday".

With the strong popularity brought by "celebration", the following week, "you-can-dance" directly aired to the No. 1 position of the best-selling album on the North American Billboard with 510,000 album sales in the first week, and "celebration" also became the No. Billboard Hot 1.

As a remix album of fried cold rice, the industry originally estimated that this album could sell about 5 million copies worldwide and it has been very successful. But now, according to the sales data of this album in the first week, only in North America, the sales of "you-can-dance" may reach 5 million, and the total global sales are almost destined to exceed the 10 million mark.

After the first-week sales statistics were released, Madonna called Simon eagerly and invited him to a party at her home on Manhattan's Upper West Side to celebrate her new album. However, after spending Thanksgiving in New York, Simon returned to Los Angeles with the recently completed "When Harry Met Sally" crew, so he could only refuse Queen McQueen's invitation.

In the midst of so many thoughts, it was already the last month of 1987 before I knew it.

When Simon returned to Los Angeles, he devoted most of his energy to the post-production of Pulp Fiction.

but.

Although it escaped the investigation of federal agencies, the chain reaction caused by the huge wealth of more than one billion dollars did not end there. Simon's biggest feeling during this time was that he really became a 'fat sheep'.

Since the news came out in early November, Simon has been receiving donation invitations from many charities, non-profit organizations, and university funds.

Immediately afterwards, what made Simon feel most helpless was that in just one month, many men and women who claimed to be his parents appeared all over North America to recognize their relatives.

They all look stern.

The federal media also seemed to be very enthusiastic about helping Simon find relatives, adding fuel to the fire to make the situation even more lively.

As for Los Angeles.

After the stock market crash, the prosperity of Hollywood in the past few years due to the economic boom came to an abrupt end. Many second- and third-tier film companies that were already in trouble due to their aggressive expansion will be completely unsustainable in the next few years. Even the seven major film companies will start to change hands in the next few years.

then.

Simon, who suddenly has a net worth of more than one billion dollars, is even more of a super fat sheep in the eyes of most people in Hollywood.

From the first day Simon returned to Los Angeles, people who handed over scripts, sought investment, and even wanted to sell the film company to him, there were many, many, Daenerys Pictures headquarters in Santa Monica. It's a crowd, and Simon himself receives a lot of party invitations every day.

certainly.

Although it is a bit annoying, the current state cannot be regarded as completely useless.

When Simon searched for copyrights before, he only got the expected adaptation rights for the two novels "Forrest Gump" and "Dancing With Wolves", mainly because his strength in Hollywood is too weak, although he has "Lola Run" And the success of "The Butterfly Effect", but most novel writers and screenwriters will not easily hand over the copyright to Daenerys Pictures.

Now.

Simon suddenly had a fortune of more than a billion dollars, and the situation immediately changed completely.

In an era when the average production cost of a movie is only more than ten million dollars, Simon's billion-dollar net worth is enough to make any movie that can interest him.
