Hollywood Hunter

"Hunting Hollywood ()"

"Because many companies will announce quarterly and full-year financial reports this month. January is the most prone to change. Joe, I want you to keep an eye on the Fed. Not only can you not announce interest rate hikes this month, but you can even raise interest rates. The news cannot be spread. Once rumors arise, Greenspan will need to come forward in person at critical moments. This also requires you to operate."

"Greenspan's problem is not big. He ends his second term this year. The president will announce in February whether he will support his re-election. As long as he communicates well with the White House, he will cooperate with us at least until February."

"Very good," Simon nodded satisfied, looking at Joseph Schrapp on the opposite sofa, and said: "The last point, Joe, this matter is very relevant. I have to remind you that if you personally have funds to operate, Just say hello and put it on Cersei Capital. For yourself, and those around you, I don’t want to see any use of this opportunity to hype technology stocks."

When Joseph Schrapp heard the words, he felt a little bit distressed, and quickly said: "Simon, I assure you that no news will flow from me like this, let alone the situation you mentioned."

"I hope so, Joe, you can also realize these years, I never treat people who are loyal to me wrong, hope you never let me down."

Inside the manor on the northern outskirts of Greenwich.

Simon and Joseph Schrapp finished talking and walked out of the study together. The maids in the villa were busy tidying up.

Today is Friday, January 3rd.

After staying on the East Coast for more than a month, the Westeros family will finally return to Los Angeles. After a while, two Jenny will take the children away first, and Simon will set off on Sunday.

Not long after leaving Schlapp, a custom-made Black Hawk of Westeros also landed on the lawn. Janet got off the plane and went straight to Simon who was guarding the entrance of the villa.

Hug affectionately, and returned to the villa with the man's arm. Janet talked about the meeting with Cersei Capital's senior management in Manhattan: "It has been arranged. Cersei Capital takes the lead. Goldman Sachs, Morgan, First Boston, etc. We will try our best to cooperate to ensure that once the market changes, there will be no one-sided selling frenzy. Moreover, even if I return to Los Angeles, I will continue to follow up personally during this time."

"In terms of the media, James on the East Coast will also be watching him personally in the near future. Then, think again, are there other questions?"

"Problems will definitely arise, but if we do this, the Nasdaq will not have a big problem until February or even March, and there will be no need in the future."

As the two of them said, Jennifer showed up with Nick, and sent the little guy to Simon's hands, and said, "I'm ready, can I go?"

Simon picked up his son and nodded: "I will take you to the airport."

Two of the three private Boeing 767s of the Westeros family stopped at Westchester County Airport in New York State, less than 5 kilometers from the northern suburbs manor.

The sun was just right in the winter afternoon.

Watching the two women and the children take off in two private planes one after another, the Boeing 767 turned into a black spot and disappeared into the blue sky. Simon, who was guarding the runway, returned.

Calculating time, except for Simon's short return to the West Coast, the family has been here for more than a month.

Of course not just because I like the festive atmosphere of the East Coast.

In addition to sorting out the Westeros system at the end of this year, there is another very important thing, which is to make arrangements for the new technology bubble that is about to burst.

Simon had just met with Joseph Schrapp, Janet went to Manhattan to preside in the morning, and even James Rebald was responsible for following up the arrangements of the East Coast media, etc., etc., all because of this.

From the end of the U.S. election in early November to the end of December, in just two months, the Nasdaq index futures short position and direct stock short sales in response to the new technology bubble have rapidly increased from around tens of billions of dollars before the election to 400. 100 million dollars or more.

This large-scale short selling is dominated by Julian Robertson’s Tiger Fund.

More than 40 billion US dollars of short positions, Tiger Fund accounted for nearly half.

Although due to the continued strength of the Nasdaq, the accumulated short-term losses have exceeded US$3 billion in just two months, the short-term capital of all parties has no intention to retreat and continues to bet.After all, as long as the delivery is not made, the loss will eventually be a floating loss on the book. Once the operation goes smoothly and the Nasdaq crashes, it may only take a day for the huge loss on the book to turn into profit.

As the biggest beneficiary of the prosperity of the new technology industry, the Westeros system must stand on the opposite side of the bear no matter what aspect it considers.

Of course, the Westeros system is not alone.

In recent years, not to mention the capital of all parties that have made large profits with the new technology industry, even Washington, many politicians from the White House to Congress have used the prosperity of the new technology industry to grab considerable political capital. Even if we understand that the bursting of the new technology bubble is inevitable, the political and economic forces that try to protect the new technology industry far exceed short capital.

Therefore, this game led by the Westeros system, through the layout of capital, politics, media and other levels, even if it still cannot prevent the Nasdaq’s collapse, which is too serious after the bubble, it wants to delay the collapse of the Nasdaq to the greatest extent. , It is easy to let as many short capital as possible and to fight against the conservative old money forces in the United States.

Sending the women and children away, Simon took a helicopter to Manhattan.

There were no other work arrangements for the rest of the afternoon, but a secret pregnancy test with Lin Su.

This is the sixth.

Lin Su quietly prepared for several months after someone mentioned it, and returned to North America last month. The time was just right, so he became pregnant with ease.

There are six women pregnant with their children at the same time, and in certain moments, Simon will inevitably be stressed.Fortunately, if you think about it carefully, the last thing you lack is the money for milk powder. In the future, when a child is born, you don't need to be a dad to work hard, and it's a lot easier immediately.

Ok.

But in the next few years, I will definitely not have children easily.

In Simon's bones, after all, he hopes that the little guys can grow into qualified heirs of the Westeros family in the future. If there are too many, it will inevitably be too much.

Upper West Side of Manhattan.

Chen Qing and Lin Su’s two daughters’ residences. In the evening, Chen Qing, who had worked for a day, returned and saw her boss sitting in the living room reading a Chinese novel. Her strong female temperament was quickly wiped out, pitiful. Pounced: "Boss..."

Simon put his arms around the woman's slender body, but he was unmoved, and his expression was quite serious: "Remind, you and A Su are good sisters, and the child is also yours. Some thoughts should never be used on her. Body, understand?"

Chen Qing originally wanted to act like a baby and felt the solemnity in the man's tone. Although her expression was still aggrieved, she nodded her head formally: "I know, boss, A Su's child was originally the two of us. Well, I just , Want to give you one too?"

"I said it a long time ago, at least until you turn 30."

"Alright alright."

After speaking, he changed to a more comfortable position in Simon's arms, and looked at the book in the man's hands together, but it was a book of "Kangxi the Great", which was actually brought back by Chen Qing in recent days.

"Boss, how about this book?"

"I just saw the beginning, but the first major project after the completion of the Ming and Qing Palace Gardens as Jinshu Studios is very suitable."

Lin Su came in with a fruit plate at this time. Seeing Chen Qinglai in Simon's arms, he still cast a stare at him to demonstrate, he simply ignored him, just gently put the fruit plate down and sat quietly beside him.

Chen Qing leaned forward and brought the fruit plate over, and while feeding her boss, she said: "Jinshu Media has recently selected several TV projects. I'm about to show it to the boss." Shi Lili Fawell said, "Boss, China’s TV drama industry has developed really well in recent years. I think we don’t need to wait for the Jinshu Film and Television City to be launched before it is built. There are also movies. "" and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" are both finished, and it's time to choose new projects."

With that said, Lily Favel quickly brought a bunch of documents.

Chen Qing handed the fruit plate to Christina, another waitress next to him, received the information, and said to Simon: "Last year there was a very popular TV series in China called "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo", which tells the story of the famous official Liu Yong of the Qing Dynasty and the corrupt officials and Shen. A story of fighting wits and fighting courage. The actor who played Qianlong has planned a new project called "Kangxi Weifu Private Interview". Well, the boss, Kangxi, Qianlong, you should know all of this?"

Simon smiled and nodded, still a little surprised. I didn't expect the Jinshu media team to get the famous "Kangxi Weifu Private Interview". Compared with the "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo" which was only filmed, this is a super long-lived and popular series. drama.

However, thinking about it again, this is not surprising.

China's film and television industry currently has so many people and a small circle.

Chen Qing continued to introduce, and Simon also followed through a thick stack of film and television project materials from China.

In addition to "Kangxi Weifu Private Interview" and "Kangxi Dynasty" which I just saw the original work, I soon found another project that surprised Simon, "Dragon Babu".

"This, what's the matter?"

"Boss, you read this novel back then, I still remember what you said about this book, boss, um, a group of idiots, I also read this novel recently, and more and more find that the boss you said makes sense. ."

Chen Qingbala said a few words and explained: "In recent years, TVB in Hong Kong has been remaking Jin Yong's martial arts series. This year it happens to be planning to launch "Dragon Babu". On the Jinshu side, the boss, you must also know Chinese In some cases, the Jinshu team took the initiative to seek cooperation with Hong Kong and Taiwan. It can not only learn from experience and take the opportunity to cultivate its own team, but also accumulate political capital. "Tianlong Babu" is such a project. Jinshu intends to cooperate with TVB and CCTV. Join forces to create an annual martial arts drama co-produced between China and Hong Kong. Of course, these are just intentions. If you disagree, boss, I will let them cancel."

Simon did not answer immediately, but asked: "What is the name of the person in charge of Jinshu Media?"

"Wu Shanlin," Chen Qing said, noticing the expression of her boss, and immediately appealing for credit: "This is what I hired. He is a fellow of mine, graduated from Peking University, and originally worked in the broadcasting system of Jiangsu Province. A very capable person."

"You can train more in the future," Simon said directly: "As for these projects, you can do "Kangxi Weifu Private Interview" and "Tianlong Babu" this year. "Kangxi Dynasty" is what I just said, after the Ming and Qing palaces are completed. Do it again."

Talking and continue to scroll down.

Although I have seen some other projects, none of them have as much influence as the three parts of "Kangxi Weifu Private Interview". It was not until the introduction of a stack of projects was about to bottom out that I saw another one: "The Great House Gate".

Seeing Simon's attention, Chen Qing took the initiative to explain: "This was introduced by Zhang's help. It tells about the rise and fall of a medical family in China over a century. If you are interested, boss, I have a detailed script file on my computer."

Simon just read the thin pages of the project introduction in his hand and said, "With this one, I won't read the script."

Speaking of continuing to flip through, the last few projects were not too impressed. Simon skipped directly, turning to the film project information below, and said: "In China, I have not thought about making any money in the media, but this is not It does not mean that the Jinshu department team can toss casually. The shortcomings there happen to be commercial operations. China has no shortage of film and television talents who can make good works, but it is often impossible to fully tap the commercial potential of a project. This is Jinshu It is something that I need to pursue for many years to come. In short, if one day I find that I am not doing well, I will withdraw all support. Remember to tell them these words."

Chen Qing nodded to remember.

Simon looked at the film project information in his hand, remembered one thing, and said: "Isn't it about Hong Kong and Taiwan? Why didn't you see a cooperation project with Taiwan?"

"I haven't found a suitable one for the time being."

Simon thought for a while, and said casually: "Qiong Yao, it must be right to find her."

"Han Zhu Ge Ge" is such a phenomenal TV series, don't let it go. As for the various incidents that happened later, you may be able to eat more melons for decades.

Chen Qing was surprised again: "Boss, do you even know Qiong Yao?"

"Well, it must be right to find her anyway."

"Then I will ask Jinshu to contact you as soon as possible."

With that said, Simon has quickly seen a film project in memory, "The Devil Is Coming."

Chen Qing said by the side: "This is the latest creation of the screenwriter of "I Have Something to Say". I don't think it is likely to be released in China. However, I should be able to win awards overseas and there will definitely be benefits."

Simon quickly finished watching and shook his head: "I remember telling you that Jinshu only makes entertainment movies in China, especially those movies that may cause controversy. Don't touch any of them."

In fact, there is another reason.

As an actor, it’s better to say that if it’s a director, Simon will definitely not cooperate with the money-burning scam from Lao Jiang, even if it’s "Let the Bullets Fly".

Chen Qing followed the kindness and flow: "Then I will let Wu refuse."

Lin Su didn't know when to get up and leave to prepare dinner. Simon held Chen Qing and watched the film project information in his hand. It was different from the TV projects with many treasures, except for a TV project that Simon personally uttered and was enrolled in the Jinshu. Feng Pants of Transfer recommended another "Party A and Party B", and there is no other script that interests Simon.

In the end, only one "Party A and Party B" will be set.

In addition to the late "Something to Say" and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", there are also "Love Call Transfer" and "Hero", plus a "Party A and Party B", enough for Jinshu Media Two years.

After reading the information in his hand, Simon and Chen Qing discussed the development plan of the Jinshu Department in the next few years, until Lin Su came over and called for dinner.

I stayed with Lin Su's two daughters for one night on Friday, and visited several other pregnant women on the weekend. Simon finally set off on Sunday afternoon and returned to Los Angeles.
