East Coast, in an estate outside Greenwich in upstate New York.

Putting on another set of clothes, Sophia Fisher had to tie a silk scarf around her neck again to hide her marks.

Back in the bedroom, the man was still shirtless, leaning on the bedside and flipping through a magazine leisurely.

He came to the bed and sat down, feeling a strong arm habitually embraced him, leaned in and kissed the man's face, and joked, "Aren't you at home with Janet on maternity leave, why did you come to New York?"

The "Time" magazine in Simon's hands turned a page and said casually: "I was kicked out."

Sophia suddenly became interested: "A quarrel?"

Simon glanced at the woman with a smile: "Do you want to quarrel with me Jenny?"

"Yeah, so maybe I have a chance," Sophia said without concealing, "You know, women are very ambitious."

Simon nodded solemnly: "When I finish reading this article, let's talk about ambition."

Sophia blushed and pushed the man's hand that wanted to get into her professional suit, and said, "I'm going back, I'm going to prepare dinner for the children, and also, Nancy is coming over for dinner tonight, do you want to come with me? ?"

Nancy Brill has been in New York in recent days dealing with Blockbuster, and Simon knows it.

Both New Line and Miramax were originally headquartered in New York.

After recruiting Robert Shea and the Weinstein brothers, Nancy gave several people considerable autonomy and agreed to their request to keep Blockbuster Entertainment's headquarters on the East Coast.

I just didn't expect that the Weinstein brothers were quickly kicked out by Nancy again, and some things needed to be readjusted.

Simon was not eager for Blockbuster to develop the film business, so he let Nancy handle it herself.

Just a little surprised that Nancy would go to Sophia's house for dinner: "Are you and Nancy on good terms?"

"It's always been good."

"Oh, I don't even know."

"I'm just your lover, of course I don't need to tell you everything."

"Sounds resentful, but if you want to steal other men, you have to tell me."

Sophia glanced at the man: "What if you don't tell?"

"I will build a castle in Tasmania and lock you up forever."

"Isn't it exile in Tierra del Fuego?"

"Well...you know this too?"

"I have a good relationship with Jenny too."

"It seems we urgently need to take a closer look."

Simon said, throwing the magazine aside, and easily pulled the woman onto the bed and pressed it under him again.

Sophia supported Simon's chest and begged for mercy: "No, it's already five o'clock. I'll sneak over to accompany you at night, okay?"

Simon didn't respond, unbuttoned the woman's black ol' suit, and buried his head in the woman's plump chest with enjoyment.

Seeing that Simon didn't habitually tear his clothes, Sophia no longer resisted, and gently hugged the little man's head buried in his chest, her breathing inevitably became rapid.

There are also some strange feelings in my heart.

Not the first time.

I always feel that the little man in my arms at this time is very like a child, I am...

Even though she thought so, Sophia never dared to expose it, worried that he would become angry with shame.

After continuing to be gentle for a while, Sophia pushed Simon and said, "It's really a bit late."

The little man didn't bother this time and let go of her again.

He went to the bathroom again to tidy up his clothes, and came out again. The man had already put on his clothes, remembering what happened just now, and said, "I was almost driven by you, why was Jenny kicked out?"

Simon simply said: "The education of future generations is divided."

Thinking that he was talking nonsense, Sophia didn't ask any more questions. She went up to kiss the man again, and said, "Then I'll go back first, you can come over at seven o'clock."

Simon nodded, sent the woman away, checked the time, it was still more than two o'clock in the afternoon in Los Angeles, and she didn't know what Janet and the others were doing.

Educational differences for future generations are, of course, bullshit.

In fact, Veronica offered to stay in North America after sending the little guy over a few days ago.

Since she started taking care of Melbourne, Veronica's personality has changed very obviously. Although only Simon and Veronica know the reason, the little guy has become a kind of sustenance for Veronica, which everyone can see clearly. .

So, no one is surprised that Veronica wants to stay in North America.

Janet had mentioned it half-jokingly the other day.

The Westeros system has grown bigger and bigger, and the Simons hope to have more people they can trust to take care of things.

Veronica was the chief financial officer of the Johnston Holding Group, and what Simon needs most is a person in charge of overseeing the financial status of the various subsidiaries of the Westeros system.

Janet may not feel deeply about this, but Simon has always been very alert.

In memory of the "Enron Incident" in 2001, the super enterprise giant with annual revenue of 100 billion yuan collapsed and fell into bankruptcy in just a few weeks. The most direct reason was financial fraud.

Enron was also a publicly traded company that was heavily regulated by the open market.

Now, within the Westeros system

A series of companies, Cisco, America Online, Igret, Verizon, Nokia, etc., all have the potential to develop in the direction of corporate giants.

The most important point, all of these companies, Simon has a very large interest in them.

This actually means that once these companies engage in financial fraud similar to the "Enron Incident", it will have a very big impact on the entire Westeros system.

Simon's compensation package for a series of subsidiary executives within the Westeros system is very generous, but he never felt that as long as he gave enough, he could gain the loyalty of others for granted.

The human heart is never satisfied.

Simon's generous remuneration, given enough power, may seem to some people, but a foolish act.

You trust me so much and give me so much power, and there are so many loopholes and flaws in corporate management.

Simon is certainly no credulous.

As a human being, he has more than a dozen life experiences in his mind, and he has always had a very clear understanding of the ugliness of human nature.

In the past few years, Janet has been responsible for supervising the various subsidiaries of the Westeros system. The private intelligence team of the Westeros family was formed out of Simon's mentality of taking precautions.

However, with the birth of several children one after another, Janet will inevitably need to put part of her experience on her children.

Even without children, as the Westeros business empire continues to expand, others will need to share Janet's work.

Taking all factors into consideration, Veronica seems more suitable.

Just because of some scruples, Janet didn't want Simon and Veronica to get too close. So, when Veronica offered to stay in North America, Simon was directly driven to New York from Los Angeles by Janet.

The legitimate reason is to accompany Anthony Johnston to come here to discuss with some capital the cooperation in the acquisition of Billiton.

After being busy for two consecutive days, I sent Anthony to board the plane back to Australia in the morning. Simon finally had some free time. It happened that Sophia had been in North America for the past two days.

Continuing to spend more than six o'clock in the manor outside Greenwich, Simon set off for the Sophia family's residence in the city center.

Today is Friday, September 10th.

Arrived ten minutes early, Sophia greeted them, and the two greeted them casually. Simon chatted with Sophia's parents again, and then Nancy Brill, who arrived earlier than him, was just tutoring Sophia. He seems to be patient when he does his homework for his children.

12-year-old Daniel Fisher remains shy in front of Simon.

The 10-year-old little Gemma was very excited to see Simon. When the adults greeted him, he curiously pestered Simon to ask if he really had $120 billion. He got an affirmative answer, and then asked how much the $120 billion was.

Simon explained patiently, until Sophia took the troubled little girl away to continue her homework, and then she had no time to ask Nancy: "What's going on with Harvey?"

Nancy habitually took off her high heels, curled up on the single sofa next to her, and said, "It's all about last week, don't you know?"

Simon shrugged and said, "It's just a pity."

Nancy said indifferently: "If I had known it was a bastard, I would not have contacted him at all."

"You know, that's what Hollywood is like. If you have a moral habit, Blockbuster Entertainment won't even think about it."

"I know," Nancy changed to a more lazy posture on the sofa, "Probably I was in a bad mood a few days ago."

"As it was at the beginning, I was worried about the future of Blockbuster Entertainment."

"It's already arranged over there. Anyway, you shouldn't have much expectations for Blockbuster Entertainment in the short term, right?"

"Can't you surprise my boss?"

"It took you seven years from the very beginning to get involved in Hollywood. If I were better than you, I would be Westeros."

Simon raised his eyebrows: "Oh, so you still have this kind of ambition."

Nancy leaned on the armrest of the sofa, looked at Simon and blinked a few times, then she rolled her eyes and said rudely, "You are also a jerk."

Simon is helpless: "I will deduct your salary."

Nancy made a disdainful expression, but she gestured towards Sophia who was passing through the kitchen and dining room: "Sophie's Hermes scarf is so beautiful."

"I think so."

"I'll come over and try it on later."

"You're going to lose a good friend by doing this."

"Ugh."

Nancy suddenly sighed inexplicably and stopped talking.

Simon didn't speak again, just picked up a copy of "Business Week" on the coffee table and looked at it.

Nancy continued to maintain the posture just now and measured the man next to her for a moment. She admired her boss's instant concentration. This kind of ability to quickly forget everything around her as long as she was serious was beyond her reach. Probably also understand, mainly because he is Westeros.

Such a powerful little man doesn't need to care too much about everything around him.

After a while, Nancy finally spoke first and said, "What are you looking at?"

Simon didn't leave the magazine, but said one word: "Compaq."

Nancy was a little dissatisfied, and simply got up and walked over with her bare feet.

Simon was on a two-seater sofa, and the little executive was not shy, he squeezed directly next to Simon and sat down, looking at the magazine in his hand.

This is an article that introduces Compaq's recently launched business model for direct selling to PCs over the Internet.

The direct selling model of personal computers was first proposed by Dell.

To put it simply, companies sell products directly to customers, bypassing middlemen, so they can provide cheaper products.

Early personal computers were very expensive. Dell took advantage of this direct sales model that cut out the middlemen and even cut the price of PCs in half. Therefore, from its founding in 1984 to last year in 1992, the company only spent a short period of time. Entered the "Fortune" magazine's top 500 American companies in six years.

Because of the success of the direct selling model, other companies have followed suit, except for the Big Macs like IBM, who are always slow to respond.

Through several successful cooperations with Igreat in network marketing and the rise of e-commerce, Compaq recently launched a network direct sales model, which is actually the business-to-consumer (business-to-consumer) business model in the field of e-commerce. ), as long as it operates properly, it is even more cost-effective than Dell's offline direct sales.

The Xiaomi mobile phone in memory is actually a kind of online direct sales, so it can provide users with cost-effective products.

With the rise of the Internet, the PC industry, which was far from saturated, expanded rapidly.

The basic operating system and core component manufacturers have basically settled, and Microsoft and Intel will become the overlords in these fields. For OEM manufacturers, controlling costs to improve efficiency and providing users with the most cost-effective products is the best way to survive.

Nancy thoughtfully read the article with Simon and commented: "It's a very good business model, the key is to see the execution."

Simon felt the scent of Chanel No. 16 that the little woman next to him had replaced, smiled, and said, "It's always been like this. The core principles of running a company are nothing more than cost control, efficiency improvement, and customer satisfaction. Everyone knows the truth, but some people just shout slogans, some people will really implement it seriously, and some people want to implement it, but they find that the company’s tail is too big and it’s hard to get back.”

Nancy nodded and asked, "Do you think Compaq can succeed?"

"I don't know, but the continued civilianization of PCs with constant price cuts is a major trend. Compaq's direction is right. The key is execution. Of course, I will not invest in any OEM manufacturers, they do not have their own core. Technology is also a capital-intensive industry, and its ability to resist risks is very low, and it will be eliminated if you are not careful.”

"But with the money you lent me, I bought some Dell stock."

"If it's speculation, of course there's no problem. Affected by the rise of the Internet industry, within five years, whether it's Dell, Compaq, HP or even IBM, their PC business development will maintain an upward trend."

"You seem to have forgotten the apple."

"Oh, and apples."

Nancy couldn't help but gave Simon another glance: "You want to mislead me?"

"Obviously you asked first."

"Boss, do you know that just some of your words just now revealed too much?"

Simon glanced at the delicate face of the woman beside him, and smiled: "Do you think anyone can hear this from me?"

Nancy's eyes subconsciously dodged, and soon she was not to be outdone.

She opened her mouth to say something, but she was unable to say it. Fortunately, Sophia happened to come over to remind them that dinner was ready, and Nancy got up and walked towards the restaurant as if she was amnesty.
