Hollywood Hunter

After the cloud cleared and the rain stopped in the afternoon, Simon set off for Los Angeles.

In the study room in the front cabin of the Boeing 767, an appointment was made for a video call with Chen Qing to discuss some recent trivial matters, and the topic unknowingly talked about the Yifubao online payment tool that has been booming in recent years.

"Do you still remember the incident we mentioned last time that we took foreign currency deposits at high interest rates? Yifubao wants to open up new businesses, and this is actually an inspiration."

"Boss, this is not inspiration, this is illegal storage." On the computer screen, Chen Qing, who was obviously well-prepared, was wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses today, the kind without lenses, but with a bit more intellectual charm, but a serious expression : "This is a very serious matter in China, and you will be imprisoned."

"Don't forget who the major shareholder of Yifubao is. It is not illegal if it is settled." Simon leaned on the leather chair and shook his head. However, there are more than 6 trillion residents' savings deposited there that cannot be revitalized, and this is Yifubao's opportunity."

Chen Qing's head was spinning. Although it is not easy, it is not impossible to do it. She asked: "How to do it?"

"I just said it," Simon said, "High interest rate deposits."

Chen Qing shrank her neck: "It's still an illegal deposit."

Simon looked at Nizi's appearance on the opposite side, and said with a smile: "Aren't you usually very courageous, why are you suddenly looking forward and backward?"

"Because there is a serious mismatch between risks and benefits, boss," Chen Qing said: "We are not short of money now, so we don't need to engage in such small tricks. Moreover, Yifubao itself is developing very well, so there is no need to wander around the edge."

Simon understood that Nizi on the other side obviously didn't expect the great commercial potential of his proposal. Once a certain business was opened, a huge amount of funds poured in, causing the entire banking industry in China to be in a panic, and finally had to find parents again.

After thinking about it, Simon said: "To be precise, this should be a small-amount wealth management product for the public, allowing them to enjoy the relatively high interest of national bonds and corporate bonds that only professional funds can invest in."

"Boss, ordinary people can invest in the item you mentioned, but it's just a little more troublesome." Chen Qing who was on the opposite side said again: "Although Yifubao has a certain foundation now, how can it get public attention and attract them to buy this item?" As for the product, if it is launched and no one buys it, then it will be embarrassing?"

"This is the key," Simon said, "It's actually easy to solve, just think about it."

Chen Qing pretended to be cute and shook her head: "Boss, I can't think of it."

Simon is persuasive: "For ordinary people, what are the most obvious disadvantages of financial products?"

Chen Qing thought for a while: "Long cycle, high risk?"

"Yeah, the cycle is long and the risk is high. Since you can think of it so easily, then if you get rid of them, the threshold will be gone." Simon said, and simply gave the answer: "You can put the people who are not friendly to ordinary people The threshold of financial management is compressed to the extreme. Ordinary people dislike the long cycle, so the income will be settled daily, and if they are worried about investment risks, they will have a fixed rate of return. In addition, there is also the investment amount just mentioned, and the threshold is completely removed. Only 100 yuan, 100 Yuan began to settle for them. Do all these, I believe there will be a massive amount of funds far beyond your imagination. "

Chen Qing blinked, then blinked again, her pupils gradually lit up.

It's really...

Simple and crude and easy to use.

There is no need for any psychological analysis, it’s just what we see and hear every day. Most people are impatient. For a wealth management product, the income is settled once a year, or the income is settled every day. More than 90% of people will choose the latter. Moreover, because the daily income can be seen, people who were not interested in financial management will inevitably invest some funds to try.

The simplest example, deposit 10,000 to the account, 5% annual interest, more than one yuan of income per day, after a month, the Internet fee is enough, why not do it?

Chen Qing hesitated just now, just because she didn't think there was any room for manipulation in this matter according to her habitual thinking.

Now, the more I think about it, the more tricky I get.

More details, including names, then began to be discussed.

Since it is essentially a fund product, of course it must be related to 'base'. Simon suggested the name 'good base friend' very maliciously, and even thought about future product advertisements: good base friend, a lifetime .

It's a pity that a certain girl has been with her boss for a long time, and she can see through it at a glance.

But not against it.

Bad taste or something, the most loving.

In the end, it was really decided, and the first small-amount wealth management product under Yifubao was named "Haojiyou".

All kinds of chatting, more than an hour passed in a blink of an eye, and the Boeing 767 had unknowingly arrived in the sky above Los Angeles.

Simon hung up the video call with Chen Qing, just picked up the "Three-Body Problem" script to look through, the intercom rang, and soon, Carmen Kath brought the three sisters Kathy Hilton over.

Three petite and beautiful women entered the door, looking at a certain man with complicated eyes.

last night……

Anyway, Cathy Hilton didn't know how to deal with her relationship with her two daughters in the future. Paris and Nikki just talked back to her.

Simon didn't put down the script in his hand, still leaned on the leather chair, motioned for the three women to sit down on the sofa next to him, and asked, "What's the matter?"

Both Kyle Richards and Kim Richards wanted to talk, but they didn't speak, and looked at their eldest sister together. Cathy Hilton bowed slightly in the direction of the man, and said, "Simon, as you may know about our reality show, a brand new agreement is being discussed recently."

Simon nodded.

At the beginning, it was Simon himself who suggested that "Walking with the Hilton Family", which was also somewhat wicked, was launched in the summer of 1998, and the results were very good. In the third season that started at the beginning of this month, the ratings not only did not drop, but rose again.

According to the usual practice, for a reality show, the TV department usually signs an agreement with the main creator to package three seasons.

Now that the third season has started, and the results are so good, it will definitely continue in the future.

Thinking of this, Simon understood roughly, and said, "Talk to the TV department first, and I will help to say hello."

The three women who were born as child actors and knew the industry quite well, their expressions were all shocked when they heard the man say that.

It's horrible.

The obvious old routine, let them talk to the TV department, who knows if he will actually say hello as promised, or what kind of greeting? In the end, they didn't give anything, and they couldn't help it.

They were slandering in their hearts, but the three women didn't dare to show it.

After all, even if Simon Westeros really had to give nothing, there was nothing they could do.

trouble?

The result is more likely to destroy everything that is very good that you already have.

To put it bluntly, last night... was not a bargaining chip for this super tycoon at all. It's really a toss, and they will only be the ones who are disheartened.

Cathy Hilton knew the plane was about to land and didn't have much time, so she stopped talking nonsense and said, "Simon, it's like this, I hope our reality show will move to the fall season, you know, "Walking with the Hiltons" is completely You have the qualifications, don't you?"

The woman made a direct request, and Simon thought about it for a while and understood. Definitely something to do with another recent reality show, Project Runway.

The latest season of "Walking with the Hilton Family" was broadcast on the previous Wednesday, June 7. At the same time, that day also served as a forerunner, leading to another fashion design reality show that was also inspired by Simon himself, "Project Runway" , an all-new genre reality TV show produced by Simon's other woman, Jerry Hall, and hosted by supermodel Claudia Schiffer.

Speaking of fashion design, for ordinary people, it is either high-end luxury or bizarre.

Therefore, even if Simon proposed it himself, at first, many people did not think that this reality show could attract too much attention, after all, it seemed a little far away from the general public.

The result is of course a slap in the face.

It is also the first episode, the first episode of the third season of "Walking with the Hilton Family" won an average of 7.3 million viewers, showing a steady rise.

For "Project Runway" that followed, USA TV originally expected that the average viewership would reach 3 million. Even if it passed, the sequel could continue. Unexpectedly, with the lead of "Walking with the Hilton Family", the number of viewers was 4.6 million, and then not only did not drop, but rose all the way.

In the end, the first episode of the first season of "Project Runway" exceeded many people's expectations and gained an average viewership of 5.1 million.

Then it got out of hand.

At the beginning of the second period, "Project Runway" shifted to the golden eight o'clock slot on Tuesday. By the third period of this week, the average number of viewers had reached 7.1 million, easily catching up with "Walking with the Hilton Family"

According to this trend, it is not impossible for "Project Runway" to surpass the average ratings of 8 million in the 13th issue of the first season. In comparison, the average viewership of the third season of "Walking with the Hilton Family" is expected to be around 7 million, which is obviously pulled down a lot.

So the problem arises.

The summer schedule is a traditional trial broadcast schedule. Once the program performs well, it stands to reason that the sequel should shift to the more popular spring and autumn schedules in order to exert greater commercial benefits. This is like a movie, the same movie, the cemetery schedule in January and February, and the popular summer vacation in June and July, the box office performance is absolutely different.

Speaking of which, after the first season of "Walking with the Hilton Family", this reality show was eligible to be transferred, but considering that there was no shortage of programs in the popular schedule of USA at that time, although the summer file was marginal, the popularity of this reality show was also high. It can be regarded as developing a new time period, so I stayed.

Limited to the contract, the Hilton family can only accept it.

Now that the first batch of contracts for three seasons has come to an end, they certainly don't want to maintain the status quo. This matter was a certainty, but unexpectedly, "Project Runway" turned out to be out of nowhere.

If it's all about business and business, the Hilton family won't be too worried.

The problem is, even if they all have some intimate relationship with a certain man, the relationship is still close or distant. Obviously, Jerry Hall, who remains single and occasionally almost openly invites Westeros to host his own party as hostess, must be closer to a man than they are.

On the other hand, according to USA's operating strategy, the summer program has already been developed, and it must not be given up. Therefore, it is necessary to keep a popular program as a support for ratings.

As a result, both programs wanted to be transferred, and the ratings of "Project Runway" were even better, and it was clear at a glance who had the advantage due to the closeness of the relationship.

Simon kept flipping through a page of the script in his hand, but quickly straightened out these things. He felt that the woman on the other side was still staring at him expectantly. After all, he couldn't be too ruthless. After a little consideration, he nodded and said: "Yes. , I will greet USA personally."

It doesn't really matter which of the two programs turns to the popular schedule, it can completely depend on Simon's preference. Since there are currently three little women blocking here, of course

Can only choose first come first served.

Seeing Simon agree, Cathy Hilton paused again.

I really want to make an inch of it.

However, after a little hesitation, stop.

This man...Thinking about last night, he is obviously not the kind of existence that can make them push their feet.

So they casually chatted about some innocuous topics, and the announcement that the plane was about to land came from the loudspeaker, and the three women who were planning to leave sat down again.

The Boeing 767 soon landed on the private runway of the exclusive Westeros system at Los Angeles International Airport.

A group of women flew to San Lucas together last night. Only the Hilton family, who still had to record some shows on the weekend, returned. The others stayed there and planned to play for a few more days. After getting off the plane, they said goodbye to each other. Five women, big and small, rushed Heading to his family's residence in Los Angeles, Simon drove back to Cape Dume Manor.

When I got home, it was already past five o'clock in the afternoon.

The shell villa is bustling.

Anthony Johnston's eldest daughter, newlywed Sylvia Johnston, and husband Steve Aylworth are on their honeymoon round the world and dropped by. Speaking of which, some time ago, when Simon circled the earth and went to Australia, he happened to attend Sylvia's wedding.

Not only that, Sylvia also brought her little sister Rebecca here.

It's summer vacation, and as the child bride-in-law of Melbourne appointed by the old man, a certain little girl who is very committed to her identity and has a strong desire to possess does not miss the opportunity to get along with her cousin.

Plus, Nancy Brill just so happened to be at Point Dumay with her own Alex Westeros for dinner on Saturday night.

Simon entered the villa and came to the glass curtain wall facing the sea, where there was a scene of lively chatting.

Passing by and hugging Alex, who was about to be one year old, Simon came to sit down beside Janet, put the baby on his lap, and asked, "What are you talking about?"

Sylvia, who happened to be sitting on the sofa opposite Simon, glanced at a small spot on her little uncle's lap, then turned her gaze away as if nothing had happened, and said with an unchanged smile: "Three-Body Problem, everyone is discussing it. When you mention this story, what exactly do you want to express?"
