Winter is very short.

Simon arrived on the east coast and rushed from the JFK airport to his apartment on Fifth Avenue. It was already dark.

There was more than Janet in the apartment, and Sofia Fesci came from Europe yesterday.

Simon is still working, but Janet and many people around are busy preparing for the wedding in early March.

The wedding has been confirmed to be held in Melbourne, and the guest list has been finalized. The Johnston family also specially prepared several charter flights for this purpose.

Sophia came to New York this time for a wedding dress. The Gucci design team started to design wedding plans after Simon and Janet's wedding date was determined. The female housekeeper came here specifically to discuss some production details with Janet.

Last night, she was being discussed by Janietra about the wedding dress style until early in the morning, and Simon still woke up very early the next day.

I fumbled and took my watch and glanced. It was still 6:50 in the morning on the east coast.

The woman in her arms noticed Simon's movements, wrapped around him tighter, and opened her small mouth to bite on the man's shoulder in her sleep.

Feeling Janet's obsession, Simon dismissed the idea of ​​getting up and closed his eyes again.

Winter is indeed a season suitable for laziness.

Waking up again, almost nine o'clock in the morning, Janet was no longer around.

Simon put on the bedroom curtains after washing and washing. Xiao Suo's Central Park was flooded with the soft sunlight peculiar to this season. It was pale and weak, and it seemed to be the same.

At least it was sunny.

Coming downstairs, Janet and Sofia had just prepared breakfast, and when they saw Simon, Janet came over and kissed the man, saying, "I'm saying I want to call you to get up."

Simon hugged the woman good morning and greeted Sofia again and came to the table to sit down.

Sofia brought the breakfast and put some of today’s newspapers at Simon’s hand. Then he sat down and talked about some Gucci things during the meal. The fashion week in February was coming soon. The housekeeper Not idle, I will return to Europe tomorrow.

After breakfast, Sofia hurried to the headquarters of the Gucci US branch. Simon and Janet did not arrange a work plan today. Mao Dong was as tired as he was in the apartment to enjoy the world of two people.

"...I have already begun to prepare people. On that day, we will build a labyrinth with a wall of flowers on the periphery of our wedding venue in Yarra Valley Park. All kinds of flowers will be very beautiful..."

In a living room on the second floor of the duplex apartment, Janet said, holding a thick folder with various wedding planning materials, Balalabardi and Simon.

Looking at the woman talking about these red faces, Simon smiled: "Don't women all have pre-marital phobia? You don't seem to react at all."

Janet leaned sideways to Simon and said, "Only women who doubt whether they have met the right man will have pre-marital phobia, and I will not."

Simon heard the words and smiled and kissed Janet's smooth and tender face. He reached for something and reached for the woman.

Janet soon began to respond.

The two entangled for a moment, and soon turned into a picture unsuitable for children.

Tired of staying in the apartment for a whole day, Sofia did not come back to disturb them again at night, and the next day was Monday, or had to continue to work.

On the morning of Saturday, Sheila Wode told Simon about Saddam’s speech at the Arab Cooperation Council member state meeting. Therefore, the Cersei Capital team in New York is based on this news and many recent trends in European and American mainstream countries. ,

As hedge funds have prospered in the last two years, there is more than Cersei Capital looking at the oil futures market.

However, for Saddam’s position, many hedge funds believe that international oil prices will start to rise in the next period, while Cersei Capital is betting that oil prices will fall.

In Simon’s memory, because Saddam had shown a “non-cooperation” attitude with the West since last year, and the United States was in power by the Bush family, a family closely linked to various oil giants, the European and American oil groups finally decided to Iraq Hands on.

The first step was not a war, but against Iraq’s domestic economy, which became increasingly vulnerable after the Iran-Iraq war.

The Iraqi economy is heavily dependent on oil, and the best way to combat this country’s fragile domestic economy is to push down international oil prices.

Therefore, countries such as Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, which are closely related to the European and American oil groups, will take the form of substantial production increases to lower international oil prices in the next few months. This is also the most direct reason for Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait.

In the original space and time, the price of international crude oil plunged to US$13 in just a few months from US$19 at the beginning of 1990 before the Kuwait War, a drop of more than 30%.

After the outbreak of the Kuwait War, the international crude oil price jumped from the bottom of $13 to a high of $40, an increase of more than 200%.

Then, the Gulf War broke out. When most crude oil speculators thought that the price of international crude oil would continue to rise, the war ended quickly at a destructive rate.International oil prices soon fell back to less than $20, a result that most people did not expect.

In the past six months, the continuous rise and fall of international crude oil prices has also allowed countless investors engaged in crude oil futures trading to become rich or bankrupt overnight.

It can be said that if it were not for the prophetic advantage of the rebirth, even if Simon could roughly predict the next situation, he would not dare to depress too heavy a bet in this turmoil.

Otherwise, it may only take one wrong judgment, and the original huge gains may turn into losses.

Like the quantum fund in the original space and time, Soros is invincible in the Asian market, but because of the wrong judgment of the Russian economic situation, the second year a huge loss of more than 3 billion US dollars.

In fact, the reason why Cersei Capital accepted the capital from North America this time is also to minimize the occurrence of artificial variables, and at the same time, it can also obtain some useful inside information through this exchange of interests.

Simon stayed in New York until Wednesday.

For two consecutive nights, he was attending a fundraising reception organized by Cersei Capital. The funds of Cersei Fund Management Company were in place. The two receptions were mainly for the Apollo Management Company and the Black Rock of Lawrence Fink, which was headed by Leon Black. Asset management company.

Apollo Management Company has been eyeing the securities assets of Columbia Savings and Credit Bank, which is undergoing auction and liquidation after being taken over by the government. The first plan to raise US$1 billion. At the same time, the team of Apollo Management Company did not plan to eat a single food, but decided to work with Cooperation with other financial giants on Wall Street.

By doing so, on the one hand, it can reduce the risk, on the other hand, it can also eliminate Wall Street’s hostility to Cersei Capital, and at the same time establish Cersei Capital’s network on Wall Street.

Most financial giants on Wall Street are in a state of competition and cooperation.

The reason why De Chong Securities, which was once incomparable, quickly went bankrupt and liquidated in just a few months after falling into a crisis was mainly because De Chong Securities had no friends on Wall Street at all.

In the past ten years of more than 80 billion US dollars of junk bond issuance, De Chong Securities has been eating a monopoly, and refuses to give up the generous issuance costs to other companies, so that when De Chong Securities fell into crisis in the second half of last year, it sent to other Wall Street peers For help, no family is willing to lend a helping hand.

Compared to Apollo Management’s first phase of a $1 billion fundraising plan, Cersei Capital intends to raise funds for Black Rock Asset Management to the same level as Blackrock’s existing funds, reaching $3 billion.

The reason for this difference is mainly the risk difference between the two companies in their business.

Apollo Management’s leveraged buyouts, equity investments, and condor investments can be very costly if you don’t pay attention. In comparison, the investment risk of mainstream stocks, bonds, and fixed income products engaged in by Black Rock Asset Management is very high. Low, of course, the income is also very low, which requires relying on scale to win.

Busy, time has come to the last day of January.

In the afternoon, we will return to Los Angeles. Simon spent the whole morning at the Daenerys Entertainment New York branch in Greenwich.

The TV spring season has been quietly opened. Although the annual TV program promotion season is in May, from the beginning of the year, various TV program production companies have begun to look for new year TV programs.

Daenerys Television, which Robert Iger was responsible for, produced a total of 10 TV shows last year, of which 4 were reality TV shows that Simon personally sought out, 3 TV shows that New World Entertainment took over, and 3 new episodes that opened last year.

Right now, Daenerys TV’s main income is still 4 reality shows such as "Who Will Be a Millionaire". Last year’s 3 new dramas, the TV network only renewed one, and the other 3 old dramas are in After the fall of last year, it was cut again because of the low ratings.

Moreover, in the four reality shows, "Beverly Wife" played on the cbs platform also encountered some problems.

Phenomenon-level reality shows have never been so easy. In Simon's memory, there are so few reality shows that can reach familiar levels, whether in the 1990s or after the new century."Who will become a millionaire" and "Survivor" are all in this category. "Big Brother" is slightly inferior, but in the past two years, no more popular items have appeared than these reality shows.

However, "Beverly Wife", which belongs to the basic cable station in time and space, was not so lucky.

Join the public channel sequence, compared with "Who will become a millionaire", "Survivor" and "Big Brother", "Beverly Wife" ratings data is ranked last.

At the same time, cbs also launched two reality shows. Although the ratings are lower, it can barely continue. This makes cbs' dependence on "Beverly Wife" not so strong.

Therefore, now that the second half of "Beverly Wife" still hasn't finished playing in the second half, cbs tries to lower the renewal price of this reality show again.

The Daenerys in Greenwich are in separate buildings.

Simon listened to Robert Iger's introduction to the situation in the conference room, knocking on the table for a moment and just saying: "In this case, then cancel the cooperation with cbs."

Robert Iger was somewhat surprised: "Simon, even if the quotation is reduced by another 20%, we are still profitable and there is absolutely no need to cancel."

Simon glanced at other TV department executives in the conference room and waved others to go out, and then said to Iger: "Bob, for "Beverly Wife", I was actually planning to make a complete wife a series of."

Robert Aige nodded and said, "I know, you presupposed it. However, Simon, this is not realistic. It is impossible for the four major TV networks to give us too much time to broadcast an entire series of reality TV shows."

"So, we need to find a separate platform for this series."

Robert Iger also knew that Cersei Capital had hoarded a large amount of money overseas and blurted out: "Simon, are you planning to buy a TV network?"

"It's not the right time," Simon shook his head and said, "Bob, there are some things I can't tell you, but if all goes well, we will have our own TV network in the second half of the year. Although we can't reach the four major public TVs. The scale of the network, but it is enough to accommodate the Jiao wife series. It happens that with the Jiao wife series, we can also build our own TV network into a brand-name female TV station."

Having been in the TV industry for a long time, Iger heard Simon say this and soon understood what was going on.

After sorting out the materials in the memory of a series of media groups in the industry, Iger tentatively said: "usa?"

The usa television network, like the cw, amc and mtv television networks many years later, belongs to the nation's nationwide basic cable television network.

The current usa television network is still jointly owned by Paramount Communications and mca, each accounting for 50% of the shares.

Although the usa's light was completely covered by the TV networks such as cw, amc and mtv after the new century, most of the time was in a semi-dead state, but in this era, because of the joint support of the two giants Paramount and mca, usa TV The popularity and scale of the basic wired network that has just emerged in the Internet are top notch.

Seeing that Iger guessed it, Simon did not deny it, smiled and nodded, and advised: "Remember to keep this matter confidential."

"of course."

Iger agreed, and did not ask again, but he couldn't help but wonder whether Simon's next goal was mca or Paramount.

mca seems easier.

With Paramount Communications, Martin Davis stayed in power until the death of the company's previous generation of heads, and he was reluctant to let go.

The two discussed a few more "Beverly Wife", and Simon handed a folder to Iger: "I took the time to read some of the projects the company was looking for, and selected two of them, you remember to be sure Take it down, the rest, you decide for yourself."

Iger took over the folder that Simon handed over and opened it, and appeared in the planning material of a sitcom with the name "Song Fei Zheng Zhuan" printed on the cover.

"Song Fei Zheng Zhuan", a sitcom comparable to "Friends" in the 1990s, this sitcom also once created a record number of over 70 million viewers.

Simon saw the information of this project when he was in Los Angeles. This time he came to New York. Another purpose was to tell Iger to take this project down. As for the other, it was the'sand' that Simon had mixed in.2k fiction reading network
