Chapter 470 4 Housewives

"Simon, Daenerys is currently preparing for "Desperate Housewives", do you think I can try the role of Gabrielle?"

At CK's post-show party.

It was Brooke Shields who spoke.

The controversial commercial film taken by Brooke Silk for CK jeans was well known. The actress has always maintained a good relationship with CK and came here tonight.

Immediately after completing the acquisition of New World Entertainment a few years ago, Simon personally removed the heroine of the comic adaptation movie "Angel God Mission" originally belonged to Brooke Shields. The actress who has the worst actress award in Sorrel Plum has no cold at all.

At this time, Brooke Shields mentioned the desperate housewife under preparation, and without a trace throwing a charming look, Simon was unmoved and shook his head and said with a smile: "I am sorry, Brooke, Gabby's role is A Latino."

Brooke Silk did not give up: "I can speak Spanish, and it seems no problem to play a Latino. And, Simon, is it not a simple matter to modify the script if you want?"

"But," Simon shrugged and dismissed Bogie Xiaosi's thoughts directly, saying: "This character has been determined."

"Okay," some disappointment flashed in Brooke Silk's expression, glancing at Janet who was chatting with Cindy Crawford's daughters, and quickly put a card in Simon's suit pocket, Tao: "However, Simon, if you have the right role, you can call me at any time."

Simon glanced at the corner of the card exposed in his chest pocket, with a bit of ridicule in his tone: "If there is no chance, Brooke, can I call you?"

Brooke Xiaosi raised her eyebrows slightly and nodded quickly: "Of course, I'm already looking forward to it now."

While chatting, Calvin Klein, the founder of CK, walked over, casually chatting a few words, and Brooke Xiaosi took the initiative to walk away.

When Brooke Silk left, Calvin Klein's tone seemed to inadvertently ask: "Simon, what do you think of CK's catwalk just now?"

Simon nodded and said: "Very good design style."

"So," Calvin Klein hesitated a little, or came to a close. "CK happened to have some financial trouble recently. I was thinking, would you be interested in investing in my company?"

During the show, Janet revealed that Sofia had already stared at CK, and she might start contacting in the near future.

Simon didn't expect Calvin Klein to talk to him directly.

Shaking his head, Simon said: "Karl, the problem is, I don't know anything about CK."

"If you're interested, Simon, I can send you some materials tomorrow. The problem facing CK is not big. Apart from the main product line, the sales of our recently launched men's underwear and perfume products are very good. The aspect is a little tight. If you are willing to invest in CK, I believe that in the future, you will definitely get a very good return."

Janet just said on the show that CK is on the verge of bankruptcy.

Now, Calvin Klein also said that the problem facing this company is not big. Simon certainly does not believe it, but he also understands why Klein should say this, and it will certainly be the case for himself. In any case, potential investors Huyou went on board and said.

"The information is not needed, Karl," Simon thought about it and said, "I will take the time to find out in private, if CK is really worth investing, I will let someone contact you."

Calvin Klein was a bit disappointed. He has been looking for financial support for CK in order to overcome the current difficulties.

Send a piece of information to Westeros. If the other party is interested in CK, then naturally it is best. Even if he is not interested, he can slap the tiger skin he is approaching with Westeros and flick other investors.

It seems that this little trick has been peeped through.

Of course, the expression will not show anything strange, Calvin Klein continued to introduce the situation of CK,

Simon and Klein finished talking and walked towards Janet.

Janet's height is not short, but this is only relatively speaking. It is a little bit petite when she is next to a group of goblins who usually wear high heels up to six feet.However, the temperament cultivated for a long time by the wealthy parents of the woman is not comparable to other girls. Coupled with the status at this time, standing in the crowd, it is easy to become the leader of a small circle.

Arm around Janet's waist, Simon looked at the fairies around him and smiled and asked, "What are you talking about?"

Cindy Crawford looked at Simon in a light and said, "Women get together, of course, talking about men."

Simon regretted: "It seems that I have missed a lot of wonderful scenes, or you guys continue, pretending I don't exist."

Linda Ivangorinsta, standing next to Cindy Crawford, boldly said: "But, Simon, you are so dazzling, we can feel your existence with our eyes closed."

Simon looked at the legendary supermodel beside Cindy and smiled: "This kind of compliment is too satisfying for the man's vanity, Linda, let's do another one."

I just saw it at a party at the opening ceremony of Milan Fashion Week last year. At that time, I didn’t catch the word. Linda Ivangolinsta didn’t expect Simon to call her name directly, and the tone was still familiar, so Unexpectedly said: "Simon, do you know me?"

Simon showed a bad expression: "Oops, it was exposed. It seems that he will be questioned by Jenny later when he returns."

Janet gave Simon a white look in coordination and made an expression of'you are waiting'.

Everyone laughed.

Of course understand that this is just a joke.

If you want to question, the women think that Janet Westero may want to know more about the "waist essence" and "leg essence", but Yasmin Gary and Naga Allman are standing beside of.

However, the girls just noticed that Janet didn't seem to care about her husband's various laces, nor did she show some instinctive hostility common to rich wives.

Perhaps this is the opportunity.

Talking and laughing for a while, and watching the time, Simon took Janet out of the CK party.

The next day is Sunday.

Although no work was arranged, the schedule was full.

The couple rushed to East Hampton on Long Island in the morning to visit Steve Rose again. They came back in the afternoon and were a party at the Rebolds' house in the evening.

After the weekend, Simon returned to the west coast, and Janet remained here.

Not only is the acquisition of the parent company of Victoria Secret, Janet also plans to sort out the financial and personnel aspects of the company under the Westeros system.

During this time, in addition to Daenerys Entertainment, Verizon Telecom, AOL, Merisandro, Eaglenet, Cersei Capital, Nokia, SUN, Oracle, Quarterly or annual financial reports of a series of public or private companies such as Cisco, Microsoft, Intel, etc. have been released.

As the size of the Westeros system grew larger, Simon had neither enough energy nor the corresponding professional ability to deal with these. In the past, Janet was responsible, and women also had extraordinary talents in these matters.

During the year of pregnancy, Janet dropped many things, and now she picks them up again.

Only last week, for various reasons, Janet sacked more than 30 people in Cersei Capital.Next, some other companies in the Westeros system, as long as there are problems, it is absolutely inevitable that a lot of people will lose their jobs to clean up.

Because this pile of work is almost a full year of work to be processed, Janet will remain on the east coast for the next few weeks, which will require Simon to fly over from the west coast to accompany the woman for the weekend.

Simon returned to Los Angeles, and after another round of audition selection, the four housewife candidates for "Desperate Housewives" were basically finalized.

The four housewives, Susan Mayer is played by Connie Selka, Bray Van Dikan is played by Shella Ward, Linette Scavo is played by Patricia Wendy, plus Briar Solis is played by Laura Haring.

The actors of several housewives, Simon, are familiar or unfamiliar, but they all fit the image of the four housewives in memory, and the performance qualifications are more abundant than the original housewives.

After the three-time Emmy Awards, Patricia Wendy and Simone's direct shot of Syrah Ward needless to say, the other Connie Selka, this 37-year-old looks better than the original Terry Hay Cheer also wanted a mature and sexy actress to make her debut in the 1970s. Although she has never been famous, she has also appeared in more than 20 movies and TV series.

Gabi's actor Laura Haring was 26 years old and was born in Mexico. After immigrating to the United States, he also won the title of "Miss America" ​​in the 1985 Miss America pageant, which is more unknown than the former Eva Long before becoming famous in space and time. Goliath is 100% in line with Gaby's character set.

Not only that, Laura Haring also appeared in David Lynch's "Muhland Road" in 2001, and played with Naomi Watts.

The four housewives decided that the selection of supporting roles in the episode would also start immediately.

In addition, the Wisteria Street set planned to be set up in Universal Studios will also start construction in the near future.

After successively transferring most of the office departments to Malibu Daenerys Studios, Universal Studios has vacated many areas, and the operation team was originally looking to rely on these extra spaces to increase project attractions.

If "Desperate Housewives" can be popular, the Wisteria Street scenery can happen to be a new attraction in Universal Studios.

When all the preliminary preparations are completed, "Desperate Housewives" will be turned on in July and officially logged on to the USA TV network in September.

Because March 13th was Janet’s birthday, and only worked until Thursday this week, Simon flew to New York again.

New York Fashion Week continues, because of some brand activities of Gucci and Van Cleef & Arpels, Sofia will also fly over this weekend, and will also try to contact CK.

After attending CK's catwalks and parties last week, Simon did indeed understand some of the company's operations.

Unlike Calvin Klein's understatement with Simon at the party, CK's problems are very tricky.

In addition to the tight cash flow problem caused by the economic downturn, in the 1980s, because of the continuous improvement of CK's reputation, Calvin Klein, eager to increase the company's scale to chase more profits, also unrestrictedly authorized the CK brand extensively.

Simply put, it is to allow other manufacturers to brand the CK trademark.

OEM operation can indeed increase a company's income in the short term, but as long as it is a slightly long-term enterprise operator, it is understood that this is not a long-term plan.

Now, Calvin Klein has also reacted. In order to consider the expansion of the headquarters and brand reputation, Klein has been trying to withdraw the OEM authorization in the past two years, which has caused a series of disputes and lawsuits.

Of course, combined with the information in memory, Simon can see that these problems are indeed temporary.

As long as it has passed a series of difficulties, CK will have a very good development prospect.In Simon's memory, CK has been a first-line luxury brand until many years later, which is enough to prove this.

However, no one can see the future like Simon. Most of the capital that can help CK through the difficulties see only the mess of this company, and may come to the meeting at any time.Moreover, CK is deeply affected by the economic downturn in the United States, and many companies in the United States are actually the same, so they will be very cautious when investing.

All in all, this is a good opportunity for leak detection.

Sophia Fisch had his first contact with Calvin Klein on Saturday, March 14.

Melisandre did not intend to eat CK completely, and did not intend to replace Calvin Klein, the head of CK.

Since its establishment more than 20 years ago, despite the current problems, Calvin Klein was able to achieve the current scale of CK from scratch, and its ability is beyond doubt.

However, Melisandre's request is to at least take more than half of CK's equity to achieve absolute control of the company.

Calvin Klein took the initiative to raise money with Simon at the party last week, and there was no response for the following week. Originally thinking that the super rich was not interested in CK, Sofia Fessie’s contact seemed to be turning around, but it also made Klein Produced the idea of ​​selling for the price.

Calvin Klein himself does not have much holdings of CK, but Melisandre directly demanded absolute control of CK, which is probably not expected by any company founder.

In recent years, Gucci has risen rapidly, and Van Cleef & Arpels, which subsequently completed its acquisition, has also developed rapidly. Melissa Sandra has become a banner in the luxury industry, not to mention, Melissa Sandra is also backed by the Westeros system. giant.

Therefore, the company that Melissa Sandra wants to acquire will certainly be very interested in other capitals.

However, Sofia did not give Calvin Klein a chance to sell.

After the contact between the two parties, Sofia gave Calvin Klein only one day to consider, either agreeing to the purchase invitation of Melisandre Absolute Holdings, or the business would simply stop.

This was actually instructed by Simon, from Warren Buffett.

Because of Berkshire Hathaway’s reputation in the investment industry, Buffett’s interested companies often sell at a price after receiving an invitation from the other party.Therefore, Warren Buffett often only gives the target little time to consider when talking about business, avoiding the other party to take the Berkshire name and set the price.

Daenerys Entertainment started using this trick early when it acquired the copyright of the script.

Simon created a huge business empire in just six years, and the Westeros system now has a reputation far more than Berkshire Hathaway.

Therefore, Westeros and its subsidiaries want to acquire an enterprise, which often attracts the attention of other capitals, which has to adopt a similar ultimatum approach as that of Buffett.
