After the fundraising reception that night, the media did not immediately break the news of Rudy Giuliani's inappropriate remarks during the Milken investigation. Instead, several newspapers in New York published interesting reports about the fundraising reception. .

James Leibold was not surprised.

David Dinkins called him again on Sunday night, expressing some kind of thanks that he had confirmed the availability of his information, and that was enough.

The mayoral election will be held in November at the end of the year, and the revelations that can hit the opponent the most must be used close to the polls to have the best effect.

In the new week, Westeros Co.’s reduction of technology stocks, which lasted for more than a month, was completely completed, and all six planned technology stocks were cleared.

Six technology stocks, including Apple, lost about 6% of their value in this reduction compared to their share prices before the reduction, and the total cash-out of Westeros was $469 million.

On the other hand, although the Westeros Company has a capital share of 500 million US dollars in Cersei Capital, before the integration of the funds of all parties, Simon's original investment of 200 million US dollars has already produced a good profit. Tello's follow-up only added $270 million to make up $500 million.

Therefore, after the cash-out funds have been allocated, including another part of the profits turned over by Daenerys Entertainment after completing the financial audit and some of the balance of funds of Westeros itself, there is a total of 260 million US dollars in New York that can be used.

While cashing out companies such as Apple, at Simon's request, James Raybold began to absorb the stocks of Microsoft and Intel again.

On March 16, Westeros Company notified sec and the media respectively about the increase in the stock holdings of Microsoft and Intel.

The announcement of the increase in holdings disclosed by the "Wall Street Journal" shows that in the past month, Westeros bought 1.55 million shares of Microsoft again, holding a total of 5.25 million shares, with a shareholding ratio of 10.19%; buying Intel shares 5.5 million shares, the total number of shares held is 18.5 million shares, and the shareholding ratio is 10.08%.

Throughout the holding process, Westeros invested a total of $253 million for the two companies, including $85 million for Microsoft and $168 million for Intel.

Following the announcement of the increase in Westeros' holdings, the shares of Microsoft and Intel rose in the following two trading days.

As of the close on Friday, March 17, compared to before Westeros disclosed the increase in holdings, Microsoft’s market value reached $3.02 billion, an increase of 6%, and Intel’s market value reached $5.36 billion, an increase of 3.6%.

So far, Microsoft and Intel have also become the two largest stocks in the Westeros company's technology stock portfolio, but the combined value of these two stocks has reached $838 million, occupying the remaining 19 listed technology stocks held by Westeros. 53% of the total value of the shares of $1.569 billion.

In addition to the two stocks of Microsoft and Intel, Westeros holds only 7% of Sun's shares of other technology stocks worth more than $100 million, or $117 million.

The rest of the tech holdings are all worth less than $100 million.

Silicon Graphics, which works closely with Daenerys Effects, has the highest stake at 11%, but the company's current market cap is still only $320 million. Oracle's shareholding ratio is 9%, and the recent market value of this database software company has not exceeded the 1 billion mark, only 960 million US dollars.

Except for the five stocks of Microsoft, Intel, Sun, Silicon Graphics and Oracle, the shareholding ratio of the other 14 technology stocks is basically maintained at around 5%, and the market value is far from the two giants Microsoft and Intel. compared to.

Simon actually hopes to continue to increase his holdings in Microsoft and Intel to about 15%.

However, compared with the period of the 87 stock market crash, the cost of increasing the holdings of these two companies has become higher and higher. In order to increase the holdings of these two companies, Simon has to temporarily give up buying some other companies with great potential.

After this increase in Westeros’ holdings, the liquidity in James’ hands quickly shrank to millions of dollars. He didn’t even reserve the capital gains tax for his previous reduction in Apple and other technology stocks. The operation of the Japanese financial market or the profits of Daenerys Entertainment will transfuse blood to Westeros, and even continue to increase debt as a last resort.

Melbourne.

In late March, the aftermath of the coma incident completely passed.

Simon has been filming a car chase scene in the "Batman" script in recent days. This is the final confrontation between Batman and Black Mask in the film. At the same time, Catwoman is also involved. Bat fighters, Batmobiles and Batmobiles Xia's ultimate props will be used.

Therefore, the most difficult part of this scene to control is the work of secrecy.

Because for location shooting, even if the streets are blocked, the all-pervasive paparazzi can hide in the buildings on both sides of the road and take pictures, which is impossible to prevent.

After thinking about it, Simon simply officially released the concept maps of several major props in "Batman". Before that, the image of Catwoman had been exposed.

The crew's last secrecy job now is to ensure that the plot of the film will not be leaked.

It was already 11 o'clock in the middle of the night on Highway 33 near the sea in the south of the city.

The crew had previously shot two other sets of shots, but the one to be shot at this time is the cat

The scene where the woman rides Batman's windy Batmobile and rushes out of the flying Batfighter to assist Batman in chasing the Black Mask.

The picture plan of Catwoman riding a bat motorcycle and falling from the lower abdomen of the bat fighter will be completed through CG.

However, the electric bat scooter built by the crew using the hub motor technology has a speed of only 30 kilometers per hour. In order to pursue a thrilling sense of the lens, Simon hopes that the speed of this group of shots can reach a real speed of more than 100 kilometers per hour, which requires external forces to drag the bat scooter. drag.

This is one of the difficulties of this shooting. In the previous test, the bat motorcycle was dragged and turned over.

In addition, in this scene, Alfred's remote-controlled unmanned bat fighter will continue to hover above Catwoman. In fact, it is a helicopter hanging the bat fighter for low-altitude shooting. Although the helicopter pilot's skills are very good, but There are also dangers.

However, compared to other Catwoman action scenes, the risk factor of this scene is still very low.

Valerie Golino has also done most of Catwoman's part, and after discussions, she finally decided to play it herself.

After careful preparation, and about to start filming, Simon stepped forward again and explained to Valerie Golino, who was straddling the Batmobile with a sexy posture: "Riley, remember one thing, if you feel that the car is about to turn over, jump as soon as possible. Car, the protective ability of the Catwoman costume on you is still very good."

Valerie Golino was about to put on the red catwoman glasses with a high degree of restoration, when she heard the words: "Simon, what if I can't jump off?"

Simon felt that Valerie's tone was very relaxed, obviously not too worried, so he didn't say any more, and smiled: "It doesn't matter if you don't jump down."

"Um?"

Simon wanted to joke that the crew would reimburse you for your medical bills, but it's too easy to tell people that, he didn't want to be jumped out by an actress many years later and said that Simon Westerlom knew there was danger. He also insisted that the shooting of a certain scene would leave sequelae, so he waved his hand, picked up the walkie-talkie and said, "Everyone, prepare to start shooting."

The order was issued, and the sparse traffic flow of props arranged in advance began to move. Simon also got into another convertible and drove to the front of the tractor.

The photographer on the tractor made a slate, and the driver started the car and started to accelerate. The helicopter that was already planning in the air not far away also hung the bat fighter into the foreground trajectory he needed.

More than ten seconds later, the Batmobile reached the high-speed state of Simon's plan, and continued to travel for two kilometers under the drag of the tractor before Simon shouted to the walkie-talkie to stop.

The first shot went well and everyone relaxed.

Simon replayed the footage, and the bat fighter's trajectory was a little off, so he started shooting a second time, followed by a third time.

It is very cumbersome to arrange such a shot at one time, and Simon plans to accumulate enough material at one time to ensure that it will not be retaken. This was repeated six times in total, but something went wrong in the end. This time, the film crew had just accelerated to 100 kilometers per hour when the Batmobile began to shake and then rolled over on the road.

An alarm sounded from the walkie-talkie, Simon called for a pause immediately, and notified the medical team to come forward.

Simon's convertible stopped, he got out of the car and rushed to the scene of the accident. The Batmobile fell in the middle of the road, and the front wheel had been separated from the body. Simon didn't care about the prop car at all, and walked quickly to Valerie Golino, who was lying motionless on the road.

Gently patted Valerie Golino, the girl didn't move at all, and Simon didn't dare to turn her over rashly, so he could only wait for the doctor to come and deal with it.

I also have some regrets in my heart, I knew it was better to use a substitute.

At the moment of the accident, the helicopter flew to the other place with the bat fighter, and the rest of the crew came up one after another.

The two doctors carefully checked Valerie Golino and confirmed that there was no trauma. They were instructing the nurse to carefully carry her on a stretcher for further examination, but the girl woke up leisurely and raised her hand to take it out on her own. The red catwoman eyes that were still in front of her eyes looked at other people as if she had just woken up, and finally her eyes fell on Simon.

Simon dangled two fingers in front of her and asked, "Riley, what time is this?"

Valerie Golino looked at the two fingers, still in a trance, and said in Italian, "Director, I'm hungry."

Several doctors did not understand Italian and could only look at Simon.

Simon was a little helpless, so he could only follow her mood and say in Italian, "You can go to eat right away. Let's talk about it first, where do you feel uncomfortable?"

Valerie Golino rolled her eyes, raised her hand to touch her nose, and then reached down and rubbed her chest tightened by the Catwoman costume: "Here, a little."

Simon looked at the girl's movements, and was generally relieved. He changed his English and said to the doctor who was a little dazed when he watched the girl rubbing his chest: "It's not a big problem, but I'd better send it to be checked, maybe I fell on the head, maybe it's a slight concussion. such as."

"I, there is no shock," Valerie Golino heard Simon say, sat up on the stretcher, and changed back to English, saying, "It's just a little dizzy, you can continue after a while."

"The material just now is enough," Simon shook his head insistently and said, "I will let the stand-in make two more backups, and your work tonight will end."

After speaking, he ignored the girl's meaning, waved to the doctor to carry her away, and then summoned the crew to replace the batmobile and stuntman for the reshoot.

It was like this until two o'clock in the morning, when the crew stopped work, Simon returned to the hotel where he stayed, and the crew doctor came to report.

Valerie Golino had been examined and was fine, however, the woman was left under observation at the same medical center where Simon was last hospitalized for the night.

Imagining Valerie's reaction to the lack of strings in her head after the accident, Simon ordered that the observation period be extended to three days. Anyway, the girl's role is not much, and most of it can be done with a stand-in. The medical center was sponsored by the Johnston family. It was specially arranged before, and Simon was not worried about any news that would be unfavorable to the crew such as actor injuries.

After explaining everything, Simon returned to his hotel suite, and Janet had fallen asleep.

These days, Janet has been living with Simon in the hotel suite. Originally, Simon was fine by himself. At this time, both of them were like this. Raymond Johnston had some opinions. He was worried that outsiders would say that the Johnston family was right Daughter and prospective son-in-law are not good, the old man has always been a person who loves face very much.

It's just that Janet is still angry with her father because of the last coma incident, and has no intention of going home.

Simon didn't actually mean to toss, but he didn't want to give outsiders any bad guesses, so he often took the initiative to take Janet back to the Johnston's mansion for dinner, and basically stayed there on weekends.

In the bedroom, Simon was lying on the bed just after taking a bath, when Janet habitually entangled her, but her eyes were not opened.

Simon smiled and kissed the woman on the forehead, then hugged her to sleep together.

Wake up at nine o'clock the next day, an hour later than usual, a schedule that Janet had ordered for Simon, requiring him to rest for at least six hours.

When I woke up, Janet was no longer around. After taking over Cersei Capital, women woke up earlier than Simon every day these days. Many times they started meetings with Cersei Capital's trading team at seven o'clock, and then Singapore and Tokyo. transaction will begin.

Simon used to spend three hours a day on the operation of Cersei Capital. After Janet took over, he now only needs to spend an hour a day on it, and he doesn't have to spend as much thought as before.

The Australian consortium that invested in Cersei Capital has also been aware of this matter. However, seeing the net asset value of Cersei Capital has continued to grow rapidly this month, those people have no objection. Because of Janet's education, some people naturally think that the operation in 1987 was also due to the cooperation between Simon and Janet. Simon is also very happy for them to have such a misunderstanding, which will save a lot of trouble.
