During this time in mid-July, Simon traveled frequently between Los Angeles and San Francisco.

The Mountain View city government sold 300 hectares of land to the Westeros Company at one time, and the controversy caused by public opinion has not completely dissipated during this period of time.

The best way to solve this matter is undoubtedly to give a complete set of regional development plans as soon as possible.

Simon's initial thoughts were very 'simple', and when he found an opportunity, he took action to encircle a large piece of land in the Bay Area. Now that the land has been won, the development plan is under the responsibility of others.

So, after more than a month of discussions, the Westeros Company officially announced the plan for the 'Westeros Technology Park' on July 15.

Not only Igreit, but also Westeros camp companies such as AOL West Coast Headquarters, Nokia North America Research Center, Tinkerbell Company founded by Lady C will all settle in, as well as other start-up new technology companies invested by the Westeros system. Will surround Yggrete.

Meanwhile, Westeros also welcomed the arrival of other tech companies.

The 300-hectare land, roughly equivalent to a rectangular plot, runs from south to north, and a 50-hectare park will be set aside for the area close to the 101 expressway, so as to isolate the noise of the main traffic road and provide residents in the area with a leisure and entertainment place.

To the north of the park is an office park with an area of ​​150 hectares that is expected to accommodate more than 50,000 people. The 30-hectare headquarters of Igreat is included in the park. Further north, the remaining 100 hectares of land will be developed and owned. A high-end community of 1,000 villas, mainly for rent or sale to employees of the Science and Technology Park.

Simon paid $230 million for the land in the first place.

If the technology park is to be fully developed, the investment grade will reach a further US$1 billion.

Therefore, whether it is a technology park, a residential area, or a supporting park, it is a big cake for the construction and real estate industry in the Bay Area.

Igret also has no plans to go into battle in person, and the construction of the entire park will be in close cooperation with local developers in the Bay Area.

As a result, with the announcement of the preliminary plan and the conclusion of some cooperation agreements, the criticism caused by Westeros's one-time encirclement of a large number of plots has obviously disappeared a lot, and the discerning person can also see the reason for the public opinion controversy some time ago.

Real estate development is a hugely profitable industry in any country.

Different from the emerging Internet field, the real estate industry has been associated with the emergence of cities, and it has long been a red sea. Because of the huge profits, the interests involved and the game of strife will be very cruel. If there is not enough capital support and network background, no one should think about playing easily.

Simon has always been interested in owning more land and properties, but has no intention of getting too involved in the real estate industry that could touch the interests of many established capitalists.

With the announcement of the Westeros Technology Park plan, additional commercial areas, residential areas and office parks have begun to appear in the area north of the 101 Freeway in Mountain View. The city government has also promised to invest in improving the infrastructure in the area. It is not difficult to imagine that in the next few years, this barren area originally located on the edge of the city will quickly become prosperous.

On the Hollywood side, the three new films that opened on July 9 performed as expected at the box office. The best-performing Fox "The Kid with the Golden Arm" only made $18.21 million at the box office in the first seven days of the week.

On July 16, the number of new films to be opened in North American theaters was reduced to two, namely, "The Assassination of Gannets" by Daenerys and Warner Bros. and "Tombstone" by MGM.

As the second film of the original novel author John Grimson this summer, the success of "Sugar-Coated Trap" has made "Ganwan Assassination" more attention from the audience. Denzel Washington and Julia Roberts' main creative lineup has ensured the popularity of the project.

After the opening of the painting, relying on the excellent word of mouth, the box office of "Gandrel Assassination Order" reached 22.19 million US dollars in the first weekend and three days, re-invigorating the box office.

From July 16th to July 22nd, in seven days, the first-week box office of "Gannet Assassination Order" reached 31.63 million US dollars, successfully reaching the top position of the single-week box office.

MGM's $25 million "Tombstone," starring Kurt Russell, pales in comparison.

In the first week of filming, the film relied on 1,955 screens and won a box office of 18.76 million US dollars, which is obviously a breath away from the hot-selling level of over 10,000 in the hall. Between $50 million and $60 million.

Of course, although it is not a big sale, it can also bring considerable profits to MGM.

After all, by the end of July, all the 100 million yuan club films in 1993 were related projects of Daenerys Entertainment. It would be nice for other studios to have a few $50 million-plus projects, as long as the project's budget doesn't reach the level of Heroes of Phantasm.

At the same time, "Superman" in its seventh week of release continued to make $15.38 million in the seven days from July 16 to July 22, and the cumulative box office officially broke through the $300 million mark, reaching $306.79 million.

Add in the success of Sleepless in Seattle, Sugarcoated Trap, and most recently, The Gannet, and Daenerys Entertainment has been planning a celebratory party since early July.

With "Superman" officially breaking the $300 million North American box office, the celebration party is also scheduled for Saturday, July 24.

Although it was a weekend, Simon still worked until lunchtime in the morning and accompanied him in the afternoon.

With Janet for a pregnancy checkup, she returned to Dumay Cape Manor in the evening, had dinner, and did not leave until nearly nine o'clock when she coaxed Janet, who had rested early, to sleep for Daenerys Studios.

This celebration party still chose the staff activity center on the second floor of Daenerys Studios.

When Simon arrived, the atmosphere of the party that had started for two hours was still warm.

According to the list that girl A made in advance, she greeted the guests at the party who needed to be greeted one by one. After socializing for more than half an hour, Simon finally got a little free.

Was dragged to the dance floor by Sandra Bullock for a dance, and then hid on the sofa booth in the corner of the party hall, unwilling to get up again.

Helping the man bring a glass of wine, Sandra sat down next to Simon carelessly, and glanced at him dissatisfied: "Hey, you are so reluctant that I am so sad."

Simon leaned on the back of the chair, took a sip of champagne, and said, "I've been very busy recently, and I'm going to be hollowed out."

Sandra showed a look of contempt: "I was hollowed out by a woman?"

Simon nodded: "Yeah, more than ten a day, almost can't get up."

Sandra rolled his eyes at him and said, "I've read the script you gave me."

Simon didn't want to talk about work now, and smiled: "Why don't we talk about the dozen or so things yesterday."

Sandra stared at Simon: "Okay, you say it!"

"Well, this, broadcast, ebbay, 58list, ipets..."

Simon paused for a moment, and then proficiently called out a series of nouns.

Sandra listened to Simon's words with starry eyes, and wanted to roll her eyes again, but asked subconsciously, "What is it?"

"The VC proposal seen yesterday in San Francisco."

Sandra blinked, understood, and immediately became interested again, took Simon's arm and said, "I have some money in my hand now, the concept of the Internet is so popular, can you help me choose a few investment projects?"

Simon shook his head and said: "Don't, you can't afford to be in the limelight. This is really burning money. If you don't pay attention, you will lose everything. If you want advice, just buy AOL or Cisco shares."

"I don't buy it. Now many newspapers are saying that the stock price of these companies in your hands is very frothy and may fall sharply at any time."

"Hey, do you trust me or the media?"

"But... ibm's recent market value is only $29 billion, and Boeing, $12 billion, and Cisco are all $370, don't you think it's too exaggerated?"

"ibm lost $5 billion last year to cause the stock price to plummet. Boeing was dragged down by the downturn in the global economic environment. Moreover, the stock price reflects the future development potential of a company, and ibm and Boeing have already passed the rising period."

Sandra thought about it and asked, "You mean, both ibm and Boeing are at their lowest levels right now."

"yes."

"Then can I copy the bottom?"

"..."

"Look," Sandra said with a very knowledgeable look: "ibm and Boeing are both at their lowest point. I buy now, and I may make more than double in the next few years. Cisco and AOL are now in the market value of More than 30 billion US dollars, I think 50 billion should not be higher, hehe, this is what the newspaper said, and it may collapse at any time."

Simon nodded approvingly, and beckoned to Alison who was not far away: "a, next Monday, remember to remind me to buy another $100 million in Boeing stock."

A girl feels a little baffling. A few days ago, Simon asked her to hand over a memorandum to Lawrence Fink, the head of Black Rock Asset Management, asking the other party to increase their holdings in Boeing and other companies. The current absorption ratio is close to the amount that needs to be reported. 5%, and began to approach Boeing's plans for a board seat.

What does it mean to suddenly buy another $100 million?

Although he didn't understand, Alison didn't ask any further questions, nodded, took out the memo in his handbag, and carefully wrote it down, confirming that his boss had no other orders, and then walked away.

Sandra was even more confused, and thought that Simon might be teasing her, and waited for Lady A to walk away before asking, "Did I say something wrong?"

Simon shrugged: "half right?"

"Okay, I'll just buy some," he said and became fierce again: "However, if you lose, you have to compensate me."

"Is it okay to pay for meat?"

"Can!"

"Forget it, the price is too high."

"Humph!"

After making a few jokes, Sandra turned the topic to the movie just now: "Stallone also saw that "Speed ​​of Life and Death", and he asked me to ask for help."

"Life and Death" is a recent film by MGM. It is also a box office hit in the original time and space. The original film starred Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock. Because it was a newcomer's script, the project circulated among several major Hollywood studios before being noticed by Simon.

Daenerys Entertainment's schedule for next year was full, and Simon gave the project to MGM.

Counting "True Lies" under negotiation, the two films will be MGM's flagship next year.

Simon didn't mean to change the main creator this time, not to mention that he has a good relationship with Keanu and Sandra, and asked with a smile: "Are you dissatisfied with Keanu?"

"Of course not, it's just to help, the people of Searle are good."

Simon understands that Stallone is probably testing whether there are other opportunities for cooperation between the two sides. As for why Sang

Della, because the girl participated in Stallone's other new film "Super Men" in the first half of the year, Warner Bros. invested with a budget of 57 million US dollars.

Warner Bros. originally planned to release "Super Soldier" at the end of the year, probably because the effect of the film was mediocre, coupled with the impact of the box-office failure of "Heroes of the Mountain", so it was changed to the unpopular schedule in early October, which was considered a half-abandonment. state.

Not only that, Simon also knows that another new film "The Cannonball Expert" that Stallone is preparing has also been stranded recently. Because the contract has not been confirmed in advance, it is more embarrassing than "True Lies". Warner Bros., who originally intended to take over, proposed. Demand for drastic budget cuts.

Obviously, it starts with cutting Stallone's salary.

For the two films, "The Heroes of the Mountain" and "Super Men", Stallone's salary is $15 million. If there are no big-selling works that turn over in the next few years, this is estimated to be the highest point of Stallone's salary.

In Simon's memory, Stallone also entered the 20 million club in the most prosperous stage of Hollywood around 2000, but his personal film and television works have never had too bright commercial performance, so that the turn over of "The Expendables" has been promoted by many companies. people take over.

In recent years, Simon has been overtly or covertly suppressing star pay.

The arrival of the special effects era ahead of schedule has also largely suppressed the growth of star pay.

The former 20 million club, at least within the control of Daenerys Entertainment, will not have any stars who can get it, and at most can only cross this threshold in disguised form through division.

Compared with Schwarzenegger, who has the base of the "Terminator" series, Stallone's luck is really not good.

Simon still admires Stallone's inspirational experience. If there is a suitable cooperation opportunity, he will not refuse it, but there is no such project in his hands.

Sandra just mentioned it briefly. It was a personal favor. After all, it was an investment of tens of millions of dollars. She did not intend to participate too much.

After chatting for a while, seeing Jonathan Friedman coming and saying hello to his agent, the girl got up wisely, but she gave Simon a blank look before leaving, because Jonathan brought a woman over, it seemed, very To a guy's taste.

"Simon, this is Fira, you should know it, I remember you bought the copyright of "Charlie's Angels" very early, right?"

"Of course," Simon and Jonathan greeted, shook hands with the woman who came with him, and smiled: "Hello, Ms. Fawcett."

Farrah Fawcett, one of the heroines of the 1970s TV series "Charlie's Angels".

Wma dominated in the 1970s, and the main creators of "Charlie's Angels" were basically Wma's artists.

Although she is over 40 years old, as one of the most famous vase actresses in the 1970s, Fella Fawcett also belongs to the goblin family who successfully resisted the erosion of time. No matter her body or appearance, she is not inferior to young girls. A little more mature flavor accumulated over the years.

The woman's voice is also very nice, a little baby voice, but not at all whimper.

After greeting, Fera Fawcett sat down directly next to Simon, and the body wrapped in the light silk dress touched Simon a few times, intentionally or unintentionally.

The three chatted casually for a while, and Ferrah Fawcett took the initiative to mention the purpose of asking Friedman to help with the introduction. She wanted to try the role of the heroine of "True Lies".

Although the project is still under negotiation and many details have not been finalized, for the outside world, the film is basically under Simon's control. Even, even if the final cooperation failed, Simon Westeros asked for a heroine, neither Fox nor Schwarzenegger would refuse.
