Simon and Janet left the house early together, rushing from Malibu to Santa Monica to join Katherine.

After everyone had breakfast together, Simon took two more women to Los Angeles International Airport.

The time is Monday, August 27th.

Janet is flying to New York to work on Cersei Capital.

Catherine has completed the filming of "Shocking Point" during this time, and is still staying on the West Coast for post-production. The ride is for the New York Film Festival in September, where women have been invited to judge.

Saying goodbye, a Boeing 767 roars into the air on the airport runway.

After the plane was stable, Catherine unbuckled her seat belt and subconsciously looked at the ground through the porthole. Los Angeles International Airport was out of sight, and naturally it was impossible to see a figure beside the runway again.

Must have left.

So busy all day.

Janet also unbuckled her seat belt, noticed Catherine's gaze, glanced out the porthole with a smile, and said, "Have you started thinking about it so soon?"

Catherine glared at Janet lightly: "Don't make such a joke, you are all married."

Janet bared her teeth and smiled, rang the bell to summon C-girl Claire Gein, asked for a glass of water, and asked Catherine what to drink.

Also just asked for a glass of water. Catherine watched Janet get up and walk to the other side of the large couch to sit down. She also turned on the TV and didn't get up.

This is the living room on the upper deck of the Boeing 767 front cabin.

Although it is still a little bit despised by Simon, in Catherine's eyes, it is already very luxurious. Until now, I can occasionally see some people in the newspapers criticizing him for being too extravagant with this plane.

However, considering the recent articles in the media discussing his latest net worth, such a plane seems to be nothing.

It was also reported in the Los Angeles Times two days ago that because of the sudden outbreak of the Kuwait war, Cersei Capital made billions of dollars in profits by relying on the operation of the crude oil futures market. The Forbes 400 Rich List of America was originally to be launched this month. In order to mine Simon's more detailed asset figures, the release of this year's list was deliberately postponed.

Claire brought two glasses of water, and Katherine said thank you softly. When Lady C left, she took back her thoughts and asked Janet next to her, "Jenny, you fly between New York and Los Angeles every week. Is it really okay to fly away?"

Janet was lying on the couch looking through a document, listening to Catherine saying this, knowing the subtext in her words, shaking her head and saying, "No."

Catherine thought that Janet didn't understand what she was doing, so she had to clarify and said, "You and Simon have only been married for less than half a year?"

Janet supported her upper body, her bare feet lifted and lowered behind her, and after a while she said, "Kate, the little bastard is only 22 years old."

"Um?"

"If I were 22, I would definitely wait until he really wants to get married before marrying him. But...you know, I can't wait any longer, I'll tie him up first. But, He's not really ready yet."

Catherine understood.

Cersei Capital wants to set up a branch in Los Angeles, and even set up its headquarters here, so that Janet doesn't need to run around completely easily. Janet did this, though, just to leave some personal space for Simon, who wasn't really ready for married life.

Can not help but think of yourself.

as well as.

initial initial.

Although I knew that it was impossible for me and that little man, if Janet stepped in and snatched him away, if there was really no grudge, it would be a complete lie.

Janet did love him more than herself, though.

At least, if she really married him, she would never let him and other women be unclear.

Um.

Maybe not so sure.

Thinking of what Janet once said, how could such a wonderful man have only one woman.

Turning the topic aside and chatting with Janet at will, Katherine also took out the materials of this New York Film Festival nominated film from her satchel to pass the time.

After a while, Janet called Claire again, handed her the information she had just read, and said, "Go to hell with Hawker Beach and change the company. Also, bring back our advance payment, a penny. Nothing less."

Claire hesitated and asked carefully, "Ms. Westeros, why?"

Janet waved her hand to chase people away and said, "Let them find it by themselves."

Claire had to leave with the document in hand.

Catherine waited for Lady C to leave before asking, "What's the matter?"

Janet picked up the water glass on the coffee table and sat down opposite Katherine, took a few sips of water, and said, "Simon and I plan to build two private hangars in Los Angeles Airport to be responsible for the storage and maintenance of several private jets in our hands. Hawker made a budget of $35 million, double what I expected. They wanted to slaughter the fat sheep, and I had to keep them from making a penny.”

Catherine smiled, roughly understanding what kind of company Janet was talking about about Hawker Beach.

Just a little curious, he said, "Can a private hangar be built in Los Angeles International Airport?"

Janet nodded and said in a very feminine tone: "Of course you can, as long as you have enough money."

Catherine couldn't help but rolled her eyes.

Speaking of this, Simon actually wants to build a private airport of his own.

However, it is too conspicuous to do so in the short term, and simply chose to cooperate with Los Angeles International Airport.

The entire Westeros system, including Simon's Boeing 767 and the Gulfstream iv that was bought and lost to Westeros, as well as private jets leased by Daenerys Entertainment and Gucci, already has 4 private jets. Aircraft, and more to come, so it is necessary to build a private hangar in Los Angeles with a dedicated service team.

Working with LAX is a bit of a hassle, but as Janet said, as long as you have enough money, there is nothing that can't be done.

Sending off the two women, Simon rushes to Daenerys Studios.

A high-level meeting will be held in the morning to discuss all aspects of the company's development plans for the second half of the year.

Came to the large conference room of the Studio City Building One, Amy Pascal, Robert Iger, Nancy Brill, Ella Deutschman, Danny Morris, Robert Rehm, Mark Belford and other Daenerys Entertainment executives have arrived early, and even Stan Lee, who is in charge of Marvel, is here today.

When Simon entered the door, everyone was chatting enthusiastically about something.

Seeing Simon's appearance, everyone came forward to say hello. Simon greeted everyone and asked Amy casually, "What are you talking about?"

Amy handed over a copy of the latest "Forbes" magazine, and did not forget to add: "I must first state, Simon, I did not reveal the news."

Forbes magazine is a weekly, weekly issue.

However, although this magazine is famous, it is not on Simon's reading list. If there is any article that needs Simon's attention, it is often arranged by the female assistant for him to read.

Recently, Forbes contacted Simon again, hoping that he could cooperate with the statistics of the rich list in the new year. Simon also refused as usual.

Taking the magazine from Amy, Simon motioned for everyone to take their seats, and he also sat down at the conference table.

Looking at the magazine page in his hand, there is a line of striking black headlines: 'Billionaire Executive Club'.

Quick glance at the content.

Forbes has obviously done a lot of 'work' during this period. The article explores the financial data of Daenerys Entertainment in the first half of the year and the profits of Cersei Capital in the crude oil futures market some time ago. It is quite accurate.

However, the focus of the hype in this article is the expected 1990 salary of several partners of Cersei Fund Management and Amy Pascal of Daenerys Entertainment.

According to known data, "Forbes" magazine has judged that in 1990, in the entire Westeros system, excluding Simon and his wife, there will be seven other people who can earn $100 million in income. Six partners each with 5% of the shares of Xi Fund Management Company and Amy Pascal, who can receive 5% of Daenerys Entertainment's annual profit plus an equity award of the same amount.

When Forbes magazine announced with great fanfare that the list of the 400 richest people in the United States and the list of the world's richest people this year was postponed due to Simon's personal reasons, many media began to mine the asset and financial figures of the entire Westeros system.

The more statistics, the more staggering people are.

The calculation from Forbes magazine in front of me is basically the same as the facts, but it is not too dazzling compared with many recent eye-catching exposures.

certainly.

For a large group of executives in the conference room at this time, who were roughly on the same level as Amy, it was obviously a different feeling.

With an annual income of over 100 million, this is definitely a miracle for professional managers.

Anyone with a little bit of ambition probably won't be indifferent to this.

Pressing the magazine in front of him, Simon swept to everyone in the conference room and said, "I think you all know that the content of this report is true. You are not familiar with Cersei Fund Management Company. Amy and everyone are very Get acquainted."

Simon has personally determined that even though it has been partially confirmed from Amy, there is still some commotion in the office.

Raising his hand and pressing down, Simon continued: "I can only say that the current annual salary of 100 million US dollars is just the beginning. The entire Westeros system is very big, very big, and it is enough for you to display your talents. There are only a few positions with an annual income of more than 100 million yuan. Now everyone in the circle thinks that I am very hard on stars and are unwilling to offer them the same high salary as other studios. In fact, it is not because I am unwilling to pay, I only I will give a price that I think is reasonable. The same is true for you, as long as you pay enough for this company, I am happy to pay any of you with an annual salary of over 100 million yuan."

Such a promise, if it is in other companies, is likely to be regarded as a blank check. However, sitting in the conference room at this time, no one felt that Simon was just making empty promises.

So, until the noon meeting was over, many were still in a somewhat smug mood.

After lunch, Simon and Stan Lee, who still did not leave, came to the office loft area on the second floor of the studio, where the Marvel West Coast team has moved.

With the success of "Batman: Hour of War" and the development of the dc movie universe, the Marvel Entertainment team has proposed to Simon more than once to develop a Marvel superhero movie, and Simon has never let go.

Under the current conditions, it may be no problem to develop one or two Marvel superhero single-player movies after selection, but if you want to create a Marvel Cinematic Universe, the special effects technology at this time cannot support it at all.

but,

After several discussions, Simon agreed to a compromise.

In the next few years, Marvel will invest in the development of a series of 2D animation movies of Marvel superheroes. The specifications are roughly the same as the DC superhero animation movies in the original time and space, at the level of pg-13, each 70 minutes to 90 minutes long. , not into theaters, but distributed directly through videotape and TV channels.

Marvel was originally an animation production team in the San Fernando Valley on the west coast, and has been making TV cartoons for children before.

Now that the decision has been made, Simon has approved a $15 million budget for the first animated film this time, with $12 million for production and $3 million for distribution.

Because it is directly oriented to video tapes and TV channels, it is technically not as complicated as a big-screen animated film, and it can be completed in about a year.

After all, it was the first one, and Simon patiently gave the Marvel animation team a one-and-a-half-year production cycle.

However, the $15 million budget is equivalent to the three-year net profit of Marvel Entertainment at this time. Simon's attitude is very clear, screw it up, and Marvel will make comics with peace of mind in the future, and don't think about anything else.

It's hard to let Simon let go. The Marvel team cherishes this opportunity very much. Not only did they choose the most popular "Spider-Man", but Stan Lee, who was originally resident in New York, came to Los Angeles on purpose and planned to personally be on the West Coast. Follow up on project preparation.

The first "Spider-Man" animated film will tell the origin as usual. Simon listened to Stan Lee to explain the plot concept in person, but once again told him not to make a low-level children's film, and at the same time, make a good plan on the animated character image, not to later The image of each superhero in the project is different. This is a place that Simon is very dissatisfied with the DC animation movies in his memory. Even the animation images of popular characters such as Superman and Batman have changed.

Simon also knows that this is the result of different teams working on different projects, but these are not things he needs to focus on right now, he only asks.

The lofts on the second floor can indeed give people a relaxed environment that stimulates creativity. They are spacious, open, and easy to communicate. They are not as fast-paced as in the administrative district. Whether it is the graffiti on the wall or the movie figures placed everywhere, all It makes people feel that this should be the place where art was born.

The earliest loft building transformed from an abandoned factory in New York's Soho district is indeed a gathering place for artists.

No wonder Nancy Brill will move the entire consumer products department and her Daenerys Analytics, Blockbuster Los Angeles and Blizzard Studios here, there is a kind of single-handedness of the Daenerys system. a feeling of.

The Marvel team only occupied a small corner on the first floor of Loft No. 3, and the rest became the territory of a small woman.

Leaving Marvel's office area, I planned to go to Pixar to see the development progress of "Toy Story", but just when Nancy came out of the Blockbuster branch office area, she found a place in the nearby rest area to sit down and chat. The Blockbuster thing.

During this time, Blockbuster has completed the acquisition of the Errol company, and the number of its own chain stores has continued to increase.

Moreover, after Nancy poached an executive from Walmart to serve as Blockbuster CEO by splitting the position of chairman and ceo originally belonging to Blockbuster founder Wayne Hewy Zanga, the little woman took full control this company. Of course, Daenerys Entertainment has complete control of the company.

According to the results of many discussions between Simon and Nancy, what Nancy is now following up is to continuously provide Blockbuster with all-day operating efficiency, so as to avoid the problem of reduced execution and redundant corporate staff due to excessive expansion of the video tape chain giant.

This is also the reason why Nancy recruited the executive named James Frey from Wal-Mart. Wal-Mart is undoubtedly the best in solving the above problems. The retail chain can only continue to improve efficiency and reduce its own costs. It can maintain its own advantages and competitiveness among competitors in the same industry through various preferential policies for customers.

If the scale of the enterprise is larger, the price will be more expensive, and it will not reflect its own scale advantage at all, and the company will not be far from decline.
