North West Tasmania.

Across the Arthur River in the virgin forests of northwest Tasmania, there are a few simple wooden houses on the border between large farms and dense forests. Simon and Janet have lived here in recent days.

Of course, it's not just the two of them, there are many other followers.

The kidnapping of the Heineken president that shocked the world six years ago made all the rich pay more attention to their own safety, especially Simon, who has always been insecure in his bones. As a human being in two lives, he also understands that there are always too many unforeseen maliciousness in this world.

The wooden house was built when he bought the surrounding farms and surrounding woodlands. Simon actually wanted to build some more exquisite masonry buildings, but such an idea was extremely incompatible with the well-preserved primitive ecology around him, so he only Can give up.

Many rich people always claim that the money is just a string of numbers to a certain extent, which is very hypocritical in Simon's view.

More money means more freedom for a person to enjoy all the resources in this society, and at this point, the difference between a millionaire and a billionaire is absolutely huge.

Overseen by Janet, they have completely abandoned their work, and the two have been enjoying everything that many top resorts can only enjoy on this rather backward end-of-the-world island in recent days.

It is still winter in the northern hemisphere at this time, and I heard that New York has just experienced a blizzard recently. Australia is in the middle of summer, and Tasmania, which is located in a temperate maritime climate, does not have the slightest heat of summer, and it is an excellent summer resort.

The place of residence is less than 30 kilometers away from the sea. Drifting down the Arthur River, taking the yacht of Johnston's family to float at sea for a day, and then leading the team along the Arthur River to find the unique platypus in Australia.

I really caught one, but unfortunately no one knew how to eat it, so I had to let it go.

On the last day of February, Simon and Janet flew by helicopter to a winery in the middle of Tower Isle.

Tasmania is a very good wine-producing region, but because of its remote location, it has not developed a wine industry as prosperous as Europe.

Janet originally wanted to buy a winery in Europe, but couldn't find a suitable one, so she opened a small winery with a scale of about 20 hectares in Tasmania, and transplanted a batch of very high-quality wines from France. Pinot Noir vines come over.

As the grapes are ripe, Simon and Janet got their hands on most of the winemaking process, from picking to brewing, although it would be more appropriate to pick next month.

Sofia Fessi happened to come from Europe in recent days, because of Simon's coma a few days ago, and also for Gucci. The woman was originally stopped by Janet in Melbourne, because she was going to the winery today, so she called her over as a staff officer.

The three spent a whole day in the winery, and when it was approaching evening, they took a helicopter to return to their home in the northwest.

After getting off the helicopter, everyone walked to the wooden house together. Sophia was still talking about the winery: "The wine here in Tasmania is very unique. If it can be carefully managed, it will definitely create a good brand. It's a pity , The maintenance of the grape plantations and the winemaking technology here are far from comparable to those in Europe. Although the quality of wine is affected by the climate, the planting and winemaking technology is also very critical.”

"If you think it can work, you can try it," Simon said, walking between the two women, "However, there should be no top winemakers willing to live in such remote places, the whole of Tasmania. Only a few hundred thousand people.”

Sophia was about to continue to say something, when Janet interrupted: "Sophie, I just dragged Simon out of work for a few days, don't talk about these things."

"Okay," Sophia stopped in time and asked curiously, "Speaking of which, what happened last time?"

Hearing this question, Janet blinked a little embarrassedly and stopped talking.

Simon smiled and said, "It's nothing, it's just too tired."

The three came to the door of the wooden house, and the chef who came with them this time stepped forward to ask everyone what to eat for the evening, and said that someone from Melbourne had just sent some seafood.

Simon didn't care too much about this, just handed it over to Janet, opened the door and walked into the wooden house.

After a day of running around, he just wanted to take a good bath.

The wooden house is a two-storey structure. The exterior looks simple and rough, with some sprouts on the wood, but the interior is very delicate, with all the furniture and equipment.

Simon took a shower in the bathroom on the second floor, changed his clothes and went downstairs again.

There was no one in the living room, but there was some noise from the kitchen. Simon came to the door of the kitchen and saw Sophia was making coffee. After the same day of running around, the woman dressed in habitual ol's dress is still meticulous, as if she just sat in the office all day.

Janet's character is often like a little girl, Sophia does have a very lethal air of familiarity no matter her age, figure or temperament.

Simon leaned on the door frame, admiring the mature and graceful figure of the woman, and unconsciously raised some uncontrollable emotions.

Probably because of Janet's forced abstinence in recent days.

Janet privately felt that she had pestered Simon for too long that night that led to the fainting incident the next day, so in recent days, Simon has been prevented from doing certain things.

Women are naturally very sensitive to the eyes of men, Sophia pretended to endure for a moment, but turned her head to look over, with a faint blush on her face, said: "Old man

Board, don't you think it's rude to look at a woman like that? "

Although she has expressed her stance on certain things, and she did not resist what happened with Simon in her heart, in the past, Sophia knew that Simon did not seem to be very interested in her. However, for some reason, she could clearly feel a certain dangerous aura at this time.

The little man at the door was suppressing the urge to rush over and press her on the kitchen counter.

Still kind of rude.

Simon could hardly hear what Sophia just said, and still looked at the woman in front of him unabashedly. Suddenly, Janet's light laughter when she was talking to someone came from outside the wooden house, breaking this sizzling confrontation.

His eyes regained clarity, Simon raised his finger to the coffee pot and said, "Are you ready?"

Sophia noticed the rapid fading of a certain breath from Simon's body, and was inexplicably disappointed, even a little curious, but nodded quickly: "Okay."

"Pour me a glass, no sugar."

Having said that, Simon turned around and returned to the living room.

Sophia stood in place for a moment, then silently took the cup from the cupboard, poured coffee, hesitated for a while, and added a cube of sugar into it in a fit of anger. Then I regretted it again, poured another cup, and then took two cups of coffee out of the kitchen.

Simon lay lazily on the couch in the living room, leaning on the pillow, flipping through a book in his hand.

Sophia put a cup of coffee on the coffee table beside Simon, sat down on the sofa on the other side, glanced at the book in the man's hand, "Walden", vaguely remembering that it was a very famous collection of essays , she hasn't seen it.

Just thinking about what to say, I heard Simon's voice: "You can go upstairs to take a bath."

Sophia subconsciously shook her head: "No, no."

But a thought flashed in my mind, what if you broke in?

"Then tell me about Gucci."

Some time ago, Sofia has successfully won 63% of the shares of Gucci, with a total expenditure of 170 million US dollars.

Simon actually hopes to buy the entire Gucci at one time. With his current strength, it is easy to raise another sum of money. However, although they have agreed to let go of Gucci's absolute control, most of the Gucci family obviously look forward to continuing to hold some shares so that the company can continue to earn profits after it recovers in the future.

Sophia heard what Simon said, but looked towards the door and said, "Jenny just said that she can't talk about work."

Simon casually turned the page of the book in his hand and said, "You have to understand that for a person who is a heavy smoker, forcing the other person to quit smoking is not only bad for the body, but will be counterproductive."

Sophia felt that the metaphor was very interesting, smiled, and said, "It's a little troublesome."

"Um?"

"Gucci's problems are more serious than I imagined, financial chaos, over-authorization, brand differentiation, etc. Even, Maurizio Gucci, Paul Gucci of the Gucci family are basically the pages of many gossip newspaper scandals. Regulars, the heirs to this family suck. They're a big problem in their own right to rebrand Gucci."

"It's normal, Gucci has the same heritage as brands like Dior and LV. The two brands, Dior and LV, are currently worth more than $1 billion. If Gucci's problem is not too serious, how can we only spend less than $300 million. The valuation obtained so many shares," Simon was not surprised at all, glanced sideways at the woman, and said, "You don't mean to tell me, you don't know what to do now, do you?"

Sophia avoided Simon's eyes, looked back quickly, and said, "I need a sum of money, at least $20 million."

"What's the reason?"

"All the funds that I could use in my hand add up to only more than 176 million US dollars, and I spent 170 million to buy Gucci shares, and now there are only more than 6 million US dollars of funds left. However, now Gucci has a lot of energy. Injury, although I plan to streamline the product line, some products will be very difficult to recover once they are cut off, so even if the loss must continue to be maintained. These all require money. Also, Maurizio Gucci, the previous helm of Gucci, is a A person who lives a very luxurious life. In order to maintain a luxurious life in the past few years, he almost emptied Gucci's foundation, and even left a hidden debt, most of which can be slowly digested in the future business, but Some still have to be paid off as soon as possible.”

Simon nodded, thought about it, and said, "These are just small things, I just want to know, what are you going to do next?"

Sophia said: "While ensuring the normal operation of Gucci's main product lines, I intend to start with the fashion department, especially the women's department. As long as the fashion department recovers, the other product lines of the Gucci brand can benefit from it. I have already identified a few The new creative director will be interviewing these people when they leave Melbourne.”

Simon said: "But you still need money to sign these people, right?"

"Yes," Sophia nodded and said, "Many famous designers are very disliked by Gucci. If we want to sign them, we must show enough strength."

Simon continued to ask, "Anything else?"

"After confirming the new creative director, I will focus on the next stage of operations on several major fashion weeks this fall, which will be the key to Gucci's reinvigoration. At that time, I hope that Daenerys Entertainment can give Provide some media resources to support.”

"That's fine, I'll say hi to Amy."

"Actually, Simon, I hope you can come to Italy after Batman is finished and give you some advice. There is also autumn fashion week, if you can, I hope you can shoot a commercial for Gucci yourself."

Simon shook his head and said: "I don't know much about fashion, and I don't plan to waste too much energy in this regard. Sophie, I hope you do the same, try to leave things to capable people to complete, you only need to do one At the helm, don't worry about your people being too good, what you should do is to make sure your subordinates are better than you as much as possible. As soon as Gucci recovers, I will invest more money for you to acquire other brands, and put Melisandre as soon as possible. The company has expanded into a comprehensive luxury goods group. If you are completely distracted by the Gucci brand, you can only be tied to this brand. At that time, I can only find someone else to take care of Mei Lisandre."

"I understand, Simon, but this matter can't be too urgent. I need to familiarize myself with the detailed operation of the entire luxury goods industry through Gucci." Sophia said, and then said, "So, what about funding and commercials?"

Simon didn't give out the ticket, and said, "I can give you the money. As for the commercial, do I have time when I see it? If not, you can only find someone else."

The two were chatting when Janet pushed the door and came in, just when she heard the content of their conversation, she suddenly became dissatisfied, pulled Simon from the sofa and walked out, saying: "The Antarctic krill sent by Dad, Still alive."

Simon was helplessly pulled out by Janet.

Sophia watched the two go out, and got up and followed.

Everyone continued to stay in Tasmania for one night, rested for a whole week, and the group returned to Melbourne the next day.

After all, it is impossible for "Batman" to stop filming for too long. The next day is March 1, the beginning of a new month, and Simon restarted the filming work on this day.

Janet originally planned to accompany Simon to return to North America after his birthday. With the expansion of the industry under Simon's name, women's life is far less leisurely than before. However, after the fainting incident, Janet stayed completely to help Simon manage Cersei Capital.
