After Simon and Janet got married, the old man had a tendency to show his true nature in front of Simon, just like his sons, and many times he would not speak so politely.

Listening to the old man bluntly saying that his idea was too stupid, Simon did not refute, and patiently said: "Even if the US economy continues to deteriorate, it is probably able to cope with the accumulation of Westeros in recent years."

Anthony Johnston said: "Most of Westeros' existing portfolio is very good. If it is necessary to sell these high-quality assets with high growth potential to make up for the loss caused by the acquisition of mca and Bell Atlantic, then It's not worth it."

Simon said: "This is just a worst-case strategy, and it doesn't necessarily come true. Moreover, there is no need to sell those assets at that time. Daenerys Entertainment and Bell Atlantic itself can also sell a part of the equity in the form of Alleviate financial pressure.”

Norman Johnston replied: "In this case, it is better to adopt the strategy of stock exchange acquisition now, Bell Atlantic may not be able to, Daenerys Entertainment's side, with Hollywood's optimism for Daenerys Entertainment, stock exchange A model is easier to succeed than a cash acquisition.”

"I actually hope to adopt the stock exchange model," Simon said, shaking his head again, and said, "However, Daenerys Entertainment has not been listed, and the valuation of stock exchange acquisition is a very troublesome issue."

Forbes estimated Simon's personal wealth at $8 billion to $10 billion in early August.

Simon believes that if it goes public, the market value of Daenerys Entertainment will definitely easily break through the $10 billion mark, even if it is $15 billion or even $20 billion.

However, in the current non-listed state, Daenerys Entertainment wants to acquire mca through a share swap, and its own valuation is difficult to exceed 10 billion US dollars, plus it has to pay a high premium for mca shares. Daenerys Entertainment is very disadvantaged.

Raymond Johnston suddenly asked a question that seemed a little off track: "Cersei Capital, Simon, do you think there will be more suitable opportunities in the next few years?"

Simon knew about the hedge funds the old man was referring to.

If Cersei Capital is able to secure large sums of money in the next few years through similar operations as it has done in the past few years, the huge debt risk associated with the two acquisitions will be much lessened.

Thinking this way, Simon said: "The turmoil in Europe should bring some opportunities, but Cersei Capital's future development focus will be on private equity, asset management and M\u0026A advisory. The size of the hedge fund will be reduced to 30 At the same time, it also tries not to participate in macro-hedging at the national economic level, so as to avoid encountering the target country government’s targeting in other areas of Westeros Company’s involvement.”

From the stock market crash in 1987 to the ongoing operation of the crude oil futures market, although Simon has quickly accumulated a lot of wealth for himself, it has actually attracted countless criticisms.

Now, Westeros has completed its initial layout in the entertainment, fashion, technology and other industries around the world. If you want these industries to develop smoothly, you must give up.

Just like the sterling crisis of 1992 in memory, if Cersei Capital dared to short the pound as recklessly as Soros did, it would surely make a fortune. However, the British government may have nothing to do with Cersei Capital, but it can make other industries involved in the Westeros system difficult to move in the UK.

The study was full of smart people, and Raymond Johnston was not disappointed when he heard what Simon said. Instead, he nodded in appreciation, and turned back to the topic just now in a gentle tone, saying, "In this case, if you insist on starting two events at the same time, Acquisition, and adopting an all-cash strategy, it is best to introduce partners, so that not only the cash pressure, but also the resistance in other aspects will be reduced a lot.”

"I've considered this option, Ray. However, both companies, if mca brings in joint capital, will definitely face asset valuation issues as mca merges with Daenerys Entertainment. Bell Atlantic is a good fit for this, But not necessary. After all, bringing in a partner, or to solve the funding problem, or the two sides can complement each other in terms of technology or channels, but these are not what I need. Westeros can raise enough funds, Bell Atlantic It also has a very strong accumulation of technology and channels. All I need to face is the risk of loan repayment in the future, but Westeros can fully bear such a risk.”

Raymond Johnston felt the firmness in Simon's tone, shook his head slightly, and sighed: "Debt in the tens of billions of dollars, Simon, your current wealth is unmatched, and there is no need to risk this anymore. a risk."

Simon smiled: "Actually, Ray, everything is just the beginning for me."

Raymond Johnston was stunned for a moment, reached out and patted Simon on the shoulder, not persuading, and said, "Then, you brothers, let's talk for a while."

After the old man finished speaking, he was about to get up and leave first. After thinking of something, he added: "One more thing, Simon, you and Jenny should have a child as soon as possible. Even if the two of you are too busy or want to enjoy the world of two, you don't have time to take a child. , you can put it here in Melbourne, and Jenny and her mother will help to bring it."

Simon nodded and explained, "Jenny and I actually want a child very much, but Jenny hasn't moved for more than half a year."

Anthony Johnston asked without shyness: "Have you checked, I mean, physical?"

Simon nodded: "I checked it twice, and there is no problem."

Because her stomach had never moved, Janet, who was very resistant to the hospital, still had a check-up with Simon in private.

Norman Johnston is also concerned: "Maybe try IVF."

Simon shook his head and said, "Jenny and I are going to look at it again. It's hard to say whether the technique of IVF is really safe."

Between several big men, it is not convenient to discuss this kind of thing too much.

Raymond Johnston sighed, stood up from the sofa, stopped Simon and his two sons from trying to get up, and said, "You guys keep talking, I'm going to rest." Passing by Simon, But the old man patted him on the shoulder again and said, "You can play outside, don't have anything to do with other women, Jenny will be sad, and it will be a big trouble to yourself."

When Simon heard the words, his expression was a little embarrassed, and he didn't know how to answer at all. Fortunately, the old man left the study without waiting for his response.

Anthony Johnston and Norman Johnston looked at Simon's expression with smiles on their faces, and Anthony said, "Don't mind, Simon, Dad also explained the same to our brothers. In a family like ours, if If those things really happen, it will be very troublesome indeed.”

Simon had to pull the corners of his mouth and nodded.

The three of them chatted about the Seventh Television Network and telecom investment. It wasn't until eleven o'clock that everyone went to rest.

Early the next morning, Simon set off for North America.

Time unknowingly is late October.

This week at the end of October, one of the most talked about topics is undoubtedly the world's richest list released by Forbes magazine after the North American 400 richest list.

There is no suspense, Simon ranks first on the list of the world's richest people with a personal net worth of 21 billion US dollars. The second-ranked Japanese real estate tycoon Yoshiaki Tsutsumi's personal net worth fell directly to $16 billion, a full $5 billion lower than Simon.

It is worth mentioning that the Johnston family also entered the top 50 list with a family asset valuation of 3 billion US dollars this time, ranking 36th.

However, because the Johnston family has always been quite low-key and the ownership of family members is relatively scattered, this figure is actually underestimated by at least $500 million. If it wasn't for the Johnston family's sudden show of strength and the direct purchase of Australia's Seventh Television Network for $800 million in cash, the asset valuation figure this time may have been lower.

On the North American side, although there is more and more accurate news about the release of the "Forbes" global rich list and Daenerys Entertainment's upcoming bid for mca, several mainstream media on the east and west coasts of North America began to report almost simultaneously in the new week. A bill proposed by Congressman David Melrose to limit foreign investors' acquisitions of U.S. companies focuses on curbing overseas giants' excessive involvement in the U.S. cultural industry.

The controversy over Sony's acquisition of Columbia Pictures last year is still vivid, so even though some people are well aware that the bill is unlikely to pass, many media outlets are starting to follow suit and report on a large scale.

Panasonic, which has publicly launched the acquisition of mca, inevitably became the focus of this public opinion turmoil.

Affected by these positive or negative news, mca's stock price continued to fluctuate during the five trading days from October 22 to October 26.

As of the close on October 26, mca's share price was finally fixed at $65.75.

At the same time, on Friday, October 26, the board of directors of mca officially approved Panasonic's acquisition offer totaling $6.6 billion after several adjustments, and plans to hold an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders for voting next week.

This obviously means that Daenerys Entertainment must make a move before mca shareholders vote.

East Coast of the United States.

Simon's estate in Greenwich, Connecticut.

The time is Saturday, October 29th.

The black Mercedes-Benz sedan stopped in front of the villa, and Raymond Smith, chairman and CEO of Bell Atlantic, was still a little puzzled about the purpose of Westeros' sudden invitation yesterday.

However, seeing the young couple appear in front of the villa to greet him, Raymond Smith still smiled and stepped forward to greet them. Aside from other things, this young man who has created a huge business empire in just a few years is worth meeting no matter what.

In the process of shaking hands and greetings, Simon was also looking at the middle-aged man in front of him who had climbed from the most basic employees to the chairman and CEO of Bell Atlantic.

Raymond Smith looks at most fifty years old, with a black suit, tall stature, and his appearance is much younger than his actual age. He has a shrewd and dry face with a Chinese character. The only thing that is not harmonious is probably the one on the bridge of the nose. Old-fashioned large-frame tortoiseshell glasses.

Although it was Saturday, everyone was not the kind of person who was very leisurely, so there was only an appointment for an hour's meeting, and Raymond Smith had to fly to Europe immediately after completing this meeting.

Everyone came to the study, and Janet personally served Raymond Smith a cup of coffee and put a cup of juice in front of Simon before turning around and leaving.

Raymond Smith took a sip of coffee, noticed the juice in front of Simon, and asked with a smile, "Simon, don't you drink coffee?"

Simon shook his head and said, "I used to drink it, but I quit recently."

Raymond Smith did not ask the reason, put down the coffee cup, and skillfully looked for another topic, saying: "Speaking of which, I have studied the exclusive contract with AOL last time.

The World Wide Web technology solution developed by Igreat has great potential for development. If it weren't for Bell Atlantic's inability to focus on other businesses in recent years, I wouldn't really want to sign that deal. "

Simon took the opportunity to say: "The fixed-line telephone business has already entered the bottleneck stage, and the federal government will not open the control of the telecommunications industry in the short term. So, what is Bell Atlantic going to do next?"

When Raymond Smith heard this question, he looked at Simon a few times, and suddenly smiled: "Simon, maybe you already know?"

Simon hesitated, but nodded, and said, "Mobile communication."

Westeros has collected enough Bell Atlantic information during this period of time, and Simon naturally knows the company's next development ideas.

Affected by the at-t split in 1984, regional telecommunications companies were unable to enter the long-distance telephone business and cable television business, and the manufacture of telecommunications equipment was also restricted. In addition, the Internet industry did not reach the scale and volume to satisfy Bell Atlantic's appetite. .

Therefore, the next business that Bell Atlantic can focus on expanding is mobile communications.

In fact, Raymond Smith's upcoming trip to Europe is to examine the new generation of gsm digital communication technology that has gradually taken shape in Europe. Moreover, in the original time and space, it was precisely because of Raymond Smith's key layout in the mobile communication industry in advance that Verizon once became the largest mobile communication operator in the United States with more users than at-t.

At this moment, when Raymond Smith heard Simon blurt out the word 'mobile communication', he felt that he roughly understood the purpose of this young man's invitation to him today, and said with a smile: "Simon, I happen to know that you have invested in a mobile communication device in Europe. Manufacturer, Nokia, right? Moreover, this company has a good accumulation in the new generation of gsm digital communication technology, and it seems that it is still developing a new generation of digital mobile phones. So, you invited me this time, hoping that both of us will be able to Cooperation in the field of mobile communications, right?”

Simon did not expect that Raymond Smith directly guessed the purpose of inviting him to meet today, but nodded with a smile and said, "If there is a chance, I certainly hope that Bell Atlantic can cooperate with Nokia."
