What was supposed to be a very happy Christmas, one bad news after another.

The day after reading the "Rain Man" script, Simon asked Amy to take down all the project as much as possible, and roughly explained his reasons. The two also discussed some negotiation strategies in advance.

However, plans never keep up with changes.

Simon did not expect that Tony Tomopoulos, chairman of Lianmei, would make a call to his side on an impromptu basis, and he could only adapt accordingly.

Tony Tomopoulos can't be a fool to be able to get a high position in Hollywood. After the meeting, Amy called the next day, but Tomopoulos pushed the negotiation to after Christmas on the grounds of the holiday, and asked Simon to come forward in person.

That's how things got put on hold.

Then.

Before the release of Robin Williams' famous "Good Morning Vietnam", Amy had already negotiated a contract with the other party for "Dead Poets Society" with a salary of $2 million.

The average box office of Robin Williams' previous three films was less than $15 million, and Daenerys Pictures' offer of $2 million is already very good. Such a male protagonist's remuneration can also keep the production cost of "Dead Poets Society" within $10 million.

As a result, the same thing happened.

The two parties agreed to sign the contract on the morning of December 24th. When things came to an end, caa suddenly changed his mind, saying that Robin Williams needs to think about it again, and agreed to reply to Daenerys Pictures after the new year.

It is not difficult to imagine that once "Good Morning Vietnam" is a big hit at the box office, Robin Williams will immediately be among the first.

At that time, without five or six million dollars, it is impossible to sign the other party. If Daenerys insisted on Robin Williams, the overall production budget of "Dead Poets Society" would also have risen to more than $15 million.

Immediately after.

James Redbold traveled to Chicago a few days before Christmas to discuss joining Motorola's chairman, Robert Galvin, on the company's board.

Of the 26 companies in which Westeros holds shares, Motorola has the highest market value.

When Simon was bottom-hunting in the stock market crash, Motorola's stock price had plummeted 40% relative to its peak, but its market value was still over $5 billion. Therefore, the 4.9% Motorola shares absorbed by the Westeros Company have consumed Simon's approximately $250 million in capital.

Motorola's shares had risen from a crash low of $53 to $75.5 by the close of trading the day before Christmas. Although it has not yet reached the record high of $87 before the stock market crash, it is not easy for an established communications electronics giant with a large market value.

As the company with the largest investment in Westeros, Motorola’s share price can rebound to its current high, and the ‘Westeros portfolio’ obviously plays a role that cannot be ignored.

Moreover, after more than half a century of development, Motorola has become a public-owned company with a very dispersed shareholding. With a 4.9% shareholding, Westeros has become the company's fifth largest shareholder, fully qualified to require Join the Motorola Board of Directors.

During this period of time, the 26 companies in which the Westeros Company held shares were basically on the sidelines after receiving invitations for board seats. Now, if Motorola, an old communications electronics giant, can attract representatives of Westeros to its board, the resistance of other companies will certainly be much lower.

However, James Leibold arrived in Chicago and waited for three whole days in the town of Schaumburg, where Motorola's headquarters is located on the outskirts of Chicago.

The result was a closed door.

The meeting had already been agreed, but after being hung up for three days, a Motorola employee suddenly informed James that Chairman Robert Galvin had taken his family to Florida for a vacation, and James could only return without success.

That doesn't count.

On Christmas Day, Motorola publicly gave Simon a 'Christmas gift'.

The chairman of Motorola, who is also the son of the company's founder Paul Galvin, Robert Galvin, issued a statement through the New York Times, stating that "Motorola is an industrial company with a sense of social responsibility and insists on making excellent products. The board of directors of the company A speculator is never welcome to join. "

After two months of waiting, the federal investigation agency still did not bring any investigation and charges against the huge profits made by Westeros in the stock market crash, and the media had already begun to die.

After the Westeros Company had this capital, it began to seek corresponding power by requiring membership on the boards of various companies. Although things did not make too much waves on the surface, many people were secretly paying attention to the progress of this matter.

Now, the forces of traditional capital suddenly challenge Simon Westero, a young latecomer, and public opinion suddenly boils again.

Although the Westeros Company quickly issued a rebuttal statement, the media who have waited for such a long time will naturally not give up easily, and all kinds of incendiary remarks have come one after another, which will make a good Christmas.

Manhattan.

Inside the penthouse of a building in the midtown section of Lexington Avenue, Janet's second property bought during this period. The apartment on Fifth Avenue on the Upper East Side took half a year to complete, and Simon didn't want to live in any hotels now, so Janet bought the penthouse in front of her.

The 69-storey building

The building is a 1950s building, but the interiors are quite in line with Simon's personal preference for modern minimalism.

The duplex has a total of 600 square meters of interior space on two levels, less than one-third the size of the Fifth Avenue apartment, but plenty. The whole apartment has 2 living rooms, 1 kitchen, 5 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms, as well as a study room and a private screening room. The oversized master bedroom with an area of ​​more than 100 square meters upstairs can overlook most of New York City.

The condo was listed for $5 million before the crash. After the crash, Janet bought it for just $3.5 million, thanks to the full payment. According to Simon's memory, such a duplex apartment will have at least 10 times the appreciation space in the next three decades.

The time is already December 26, the second day of Christmas, Saturday.

In the evening, she was invited to the party at Raybould's house. In the cloakroom, Janet, who had put on a burgundy evening dress, was carefully helping her boyfriend choose a tie, and at the same time asked, "What are you going to do about Motorola? "

Simon buttoned his suit in front of the full-length mirror and said, "Be sensible, and then sell the stock little by little, so as to maximize the profit. If it is irrational, just smash the market and smash Motorola's stock price back to the lowest point during the stock market crash. ."

Motorola's current total share capital is about 95 million shares, of which 4.7 million are held by Westeros.

According to the stock price of $75.5 on Thursday, the total value of this batch of shares held by Westeros has exceeded $350 million. If capital gains tax is not considered, Simon is equal to more than two months from the value of this batch of shares. Made $100 million.

Janet chose a light blue striped tie, came over to help Simon tie it around her neck, and said with a smile, "You must want to be irrational, right?"

"Yeah, a good Christmas is tossed like this, if I don't fight back, more people will definitely jump out," Simon nodded, and stretched his arms around Janet's slender waist, in her smooth silk He rubbed his tuxedo and said, "If you have to endure, weigh, compromise, and care about everything just to make more money, what's the point of life. I plan to enjoy wealth, and I never thought about becoming a slave to money. "

Janet's eyes were sparkling, she came over and pecked the man's lips, continued to wear her tie, and said, "What are you going to do with this money?"

"There are a lot of things to do. I will increase my stock holdings and find a way to buy two comics companies. On the Hollywood side, I plan to invest in some technology companies that can promote the development of 3D animation and cg special effects, and set up my own special effects studio," Simon said. After speaking, he smiled at the woman in front of him and said, "Of course, there are also our affairs, the island in Australia, the mansion in Manhattan. By the way, you can also buy more apartments in Manhattan. I like to have a lot of them. The feeling of a house, and it doesn’t have to be on the top floor. In short, the money can definitely be spent.”

Janet listened to Simon casually say some plans that he would never mention to others easily, the corners of her mouth curved, and said, "If you want, it's fine to buy a hundred houses, but you definitely don't like renting out, right? ? The house will rot if left unoccupied for a long time, even if the cleaners clean it regularly. I remember when I was a child, my family bought a manor outside London, and the castle inside was very beautiful. It's just that the UK is too far from Australia , the family didn't go there often, and then the castle became like a haunted house, completely deserted."

"Of course I don't want to rent it out, but it's definitely possible to find someone to live in."

"Um?"

"Pick some pretty vases, you know, I'm not against the opposite sex."

Janet rolled her eyes at him immediately and teased, "For example, your ponytail assistant?"

"Jenny is not a vase."

"Um... hum..." Janet dragged her small voice, took a step back and looked at the tied tie, nodded with satisfaction, and walked to the shoe cabinet to pick up her shoes, while saying: "I warn you, little bastard, My dad loves face and loves to hunt. You better be careful when you're out and about and don't get caught by the paparazzi all the time."

Simon sat down on the chair next to her, waited for Janet to help her pick out shoes, and then said with a smile, "I'm just picking some vases, I didn't plan to do anything."

"I don't believe you," Janet said, choosing a pair of leather shoes and walking over, "Try them on, it's getting late. Let's turn to Madison Avenue to see those buildings, the fifth one. There is simply no suitable land on the side of the avenue, only the most feasible place. As long as you can buy all the six low-rise and very old apartment buildings between 59th and 60th streets east of Madison Avenue , we have the site to build the Westeros Tower. I had people do an assessment, and if you want to take all the six buildings, including the land, we may have to invest $100 million to $200 million in the property replacement. I We have asked Iceberg to help us register a shell company in Australia to acquire these lands and properties, and you only need to pay."

Simon nodded, wearing leather shoes, and curiously said, "You seem to mention iceberg a lot, man?"

Janet rolled her eyes: "Female."

"Oh, but the surname Asperger is really rare."

Janet picked out a pair of high-heeled shoes for herself, sat down on a chair, and said, "What's your surname, an iceberg is an iceberg, because the whole person is always cold, so it's called an iceberg."

Simon immediately became interested and said: "Ice beauty, I like this type the most, is it beautiful?"

Janet glanced at Simon: "Prettier than me."

Although Janet's expression was a little strange, Simon said casually: "

Take the time to introduce me. "

Janet nodded: "Okay, but if you dare to make any bad ideas, I'm going to learn how to hunt with Dad."

Simon made a frightened expression: "So cruel, who is it?"

Janet said: "Veronica Johnston, little bastard, who do you think this is?"

When Simon heard the surname 'Johnston', he immediately understood that this was Janet's relatives. He realized that the joke just now was a little inappropriate, and quickly said, "I'm so sorry, baby."

Janet put on her shoes and left the cloakroom with Simon on her arm, explaining: "Veronica is my little aunt, only 10 years older than me. Our family is not as big as the Kidman family. After my great-grandfather, my grandfather He is the only son, and his father is also the only son of his grandfather. Later, my grandfather had my little aunt when he was 53 years old. At that time, my elder brother Anthony was already 3 years old. After the little aunt was born, my mother gave birth to our four children one after another. Grandfather is very happy, he thinks the little aunt is the lucky star who made our family flourish."

The two came to the entrance of the apartment. Simon handed the windbreaker on the hanger to Janet, and put on the coat himself. Hearing what she said, he smiled and said, "This kind of story begins, there must be a second, right? And then?"

Janet put the windbreaker over the dress, rolled her eyes at Simon, and said, "Then, many, many years later, Janet Johnston met a little bastard, and the tragedy began. It's so miserable. Well, help me with my hair. Sort it out."

Simon took out Janet's blond hair from her clothes. Seeing that the woman changed the subject, she didn't ask any further questions. She pretended to be dissatisfied and said, "Why is it a tragedy, it's obviously a fairy tale. The prince and princess have lived happily ever after."

Janet didn't know what the joke was, she suddenly laughed and said, "I always think there is something wrong with this statement."

The two left the apartment, and Simon locked the door, wondering, "Huh?"

Janet took the key from the man and put it in her kun bag, still smiling, and said, "Look, prince and princess, this is very problematic."

"Your Highness, please explain?"

Janet raised her hand and gestured randomly and said, "Look, prince, princess, their parents should be king and queen, right?"

Simon immediately understood the theory that Janet had pulled out, and said with a straight face: "I decided not to talk to a dirty-minded woman like you for the next minute."

Janet came over, took Simon's arm, and said coquettishly, "Darling, don't ignore little Janet."

Simon remained resolutely silent, and raised his wrist to tap on his watch.

Janet and Simon walked towards the elevator together, her eyes flashing strangely, her tone suddenly softened a bit, and she said, "His Royal Highness."

Simon surrendered immediately: "Don't, baby, I'll still be a groom. The groom can occasionally abduct one or two princesses, which is more fulfilling."

"Ha ha."
