Hollywood Hunter

Malibu.

Perhaps because of jet lag, Janet woke up before Simon.

Faint morning light broke into the bedroom through the gap between the curtains, it was still early.

Feeling the breath of the man next to him, Janet rubbed and rubbed quickly on the man, enjoying the feeling of closeness to the skin, leaned forward and kissed on Simon's face, then retracted his chest again and squinted again eye.

A pair of strong arms encircled her waist, and the two pressed tighter.

Knowing that Simon was also awake, Janet's face was rubbing against his chest, and his voice was soft and soft, greeting: "Early."

"Ok……"

Listening to the man's weak response, Janet chuckled a few times and opened his mouth to bite at the man, saying, "Little bastard, you will be tossed to death last night."

Simon just yelled again.

Janet said so, but there was no blame in the words, but a sense of happiness.He can toss himself like a little tiger who has only been hungry for many days, indicating that a person in Los Angeles must rarely get rid of flowers.

Don't mind him stealing food outside, but of course he can be so convergent, she will of course be very happy.

After being tired for a while and feeling no sleepiness, Janet got up and started dressing, and said that she would prepare breakfast in person.

Simon also got up.

Today is Saturday, November 18.

It's only 6:15 to leave the bedroom.

There are no work arrangements at the weekend, everything can be organized.

The two played tennis for half an hour on the tennis court. Janet went to prepare breakfast. Simon sat at the table and read today's newspaper.

These days, the turmoil in Eastern Europe has begun to intensify.

The Berlin Wall collapsed on November 9, and the reunification of Germany and Germany was inevitable.

Out of fear of instinct to reunify Germany, in order to prevent this from happening, Britain, France, and Italy, who were just allies, all turned their heads in a blink of an eye, almost issuing a warning of war, even threatening the reunification of Germany and Germany , Britain and France will form an alliance with the Soviet Union for military intervention.

Because of the turbulence of this war, James Rebled suggested more than once that Simon could postpone the acquisition of Nokia's mobile communications equipment department at least.After all, once a war occurs, Finland, which is directly bordered by the Soviet Union, is likely to be affected. Hundreds of millions of dollars of funds will amount to flooding.

Simon knew that there would be no war this time, so he did not heed James' advice.

Now is the best time to join Nokia. Once the situation in Eastern Europe has stabilized, it will certainly not be so easy to eat Nokia's entire mobile communications equipment sector for $200 million.

Looking through several newspapers discussing the situation in Europe, Simon also found another interesting news: The Bush administration yesterday suddenly stopped a $2.3 billion loan to Iraq on the grounds that it was suspected that this money might be Saddam is used to manufacture weapons of mass destruction.

It turned out that the stalk of'weapons of mass destruction' was born so early.

Since the mid-year'U.S.-Iraq Business Forum', Simon has been secretly paying attention to the situation in the Middle East.

The news in front of us meant that after trying to seize Iraq’s oil sovereignty to no avail, the Bush administration formally started to engage Saddam.

The pen made a mark on the news that was to be collected as a newspaper clipping. Simon was about to look at several new film reviews released yesterday, and Janet walked into the restaurant with two breakfasts.

Putting a little newspaper aside for a while, Simon took the food, Janet still habitually sat next to Simon, glanced at his head and glanced at the news he had just marked, and then pouted, said: "Poor Excuse."

"Everyone is civilized, so I still have to find one."

Janet is actually also concerned about this matter. Cersei Capital’s operational focus next year is on oil.

However, she didn't talk about the interest in work at this time, and she changed the subject as soon as she said: "I have asked Sofia to prepare the schedule for us.

Simon glanced at the woman with a ruddy face and said, "Do you really want to fight?"

"Well, it's very exciting to watch humans step by step towards self-destruction."

Simon is a pessimist who firmly believes that mankind will eventually lead to self-destruction.

In this regard, Janet and he are a class of people, but the woman's idea is even crazier, and she wants to personally destroy the world.

At this moment, Simon just smiled and said, "Are you not afraid of spreading to yourself?"

"Don't be afraid, depending on the situation, we will immediately hide in Australia."

If the Third World War occurs, the safest place in the world is probably Australia in the southern hemisphere.

The Tasmanian island chosen by Simon happens to be the southernmost tip of the world outside the Antarctic continent, and therefore is safer.

Thinking of this, Simon half-truly said: "You can build another doomsday refuge in Tasmania, so that even if the nuclear war comes, we are not afraid."

The Doomsday Refuge is not actually the original game of Fallout.The decades-long Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union, because of concerns about the outbreak of nuclear wars, there are actually many refuges built around the United States to avoid nuclear wars.

"Good idea, we can get someone to come up with a plan these days," Janet nodded in agreement, saying this again: "Yes, aunt is talking to us about another piece of woodland, in Tas In the central and western part of Mania, this time the plot is very large, covering more than 6,000 square kilometers. The Tasmania government originally planned to circle a state nature reserve, as long as we can ensure that the original ecological appearance does not damage the environment, and can provide the state government With an extra entry, the problem of winning this land should not be a big problem."

Simon already owns about 150,000 acres of land on Tasmania, the largest of which is located on more than 500 square kilometers of forest land on the Arthur River in northwestern Tasmania. The land originally cost $7 million.

According to the standard of 1 square kilometer equal to 247 acres, more than 6,000 acres of woodland is about 1.5 million acres, which directly increases the area of ​​private land owned by Simon by ten times.At the same time, the total area of ​​Tasmania is 68,000 square kilometers. After taking this forest land, Simon is equivalent to owning one-tenth of the land in Tasmania.

Thinking of this, Simon asked: "How much is it?"

Janet said: "It's still under discussion, but as long as we take over in accordance with the specifications of the state nature reserve and do not seek economic benefits, the Tasmanian government's quotation should not exceed $100 million, and the price after the negotiation will definitely be lower. I With the information, I can show you breakfast."

Talking like that, the two had breakfast, and Janet took out the plot information that Veronica was negotiating with Simon.

Because of some trivial matters on the side of Los Angeles, the two did not immediately set off for Europe, but stayed another day to check the progress of the construction of the villa at Dumei Point Estate. At noon, they accepted Qintex Chairman Christopher Scars. Lunch invitation.

Affected by the big butterfly of Simon, the acquisition of MGM by Qintex Group in Australia is already a matter of course.

In this case, Simon is no longer as indifferent to Christopher Scars as he was originally.Now that the relationship is established, once the Qintex Group is unsustainable, Simon can more easily arrange for other Australian capital to take over MGM.

The schedule for the afternoon and evening is also full.

So the next day, the two boarded the Boeing 767 early in the morning and took off from Los Angeles. They stayed briefly in New York and took the Westeros team that was going to Europe for final negotiations with Nokia. Helsinki.

When we arrived in Helsinki, local time was less than six o'clock in the morning.

The northern hemisphere is in the middle of winter, and the night near the Arctic Circle is longer. At six o'clock in the morning, it is still dark around Helsinki.

Nokia sent a car to pick up James and others, and the Boeing 767 took off again to Florence.

Simon and Janet's'first stop' on this European trip was London. It was just because Sofia helped many of the things the two prepared, including the maid chefs who were responsible for their daily lives.

After so many turns, Simon and Janet finally settled in the famous Kensington Garden Street villa in central London on the evening of November 20.

A total of more than 15,000 kilometers of long-distance flights, because of the existence of luxurious Boeing 767, except for the jet lag, neither of them felt much fatigue from long-distance travel.

Janet also briefed Simon on the plane about the operation results of Cersei Capital No. 6-10 during this period.

After the "small crash" of the US stock market on October 13, Cersei Capital received a huge amount of $1.6 billion in short positions by closing S&P 500 index futures and other short-term stock and bond shorts.

In the following more than a month, as the North American stock market quickly returned to stability, and after receiving the original richest profit, Cersei Capital also began to simmer, and patiently operated the remaining positions.

As of November 17, Cersei Capital No. 6 to No. 10 sub-funds continued to earn close to $700 million in profits on the basis of the original $1.6 billion.

Therefore, excluding the No. 1 to No. 5 sub-funds in the hands of the Japanese, Cersei Capital’s net assets attributable to Simon and other investors have reached 7.3 billion US dollars.

After discussing with Janet, Simon planned to completely liquidate various positions in the US junk bond market around the end of December, and then shift his target to the oil futures market.

The memory of Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait was on August 2, 1990, during which time crude oil prices skyrocketed.

However, before the Kuwait War, in order to force Iraq to use force against Kuwait, Western countries combined with Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and other major oil countries to significantly suppress oil prices, the international crude oil price once fell to $13 per barrel, so the first half of the year can be used to short .
