Hollywood Hunter

Chapter five hundred and seventy-one

On the east coast, in a manor on the outskirts of Greenwich in northern New York.

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

Back in the bedroom, the man was still naked, leaning against the bedside and reading a magazine.

When I came to the bed and sat down, I felt a strong arm habitually snuggling up. I took the opportunity to kiss the man's face and ridiculed: "Aren't you taking Janet to take maternity leave at home, how come you came to New York?"

Simon's "Time" Weekly turned a page and casually said: "I was kicked out."

Sophia immediately got interested: "Quarrel?"

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

"Yeah, maybe I'll have a chance," Sofia said, "you know, women are very ambitious."

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

Sofia's face flushed slightly away from the man who wanted to get into her professional suit and said, "I'm going back, I'm going to prepare dinner for the children. Also, Nancy is coming to dinner tonight, do you want to come together?" ?"

Nancy Brill has handled Blockbuster Entertainment in New York in recent days, Simon also knows.

New Line and Miramax's original headquarters are in New York.

After soliciting Robert Shay and the Weinstein brothers, Nancy gave several people considerable autonomy and agreed to their request to continue to set Blockbuster Entertainment's headquarters on the east coast.

It was just unexpected that the Weinstein brothers were quickly kicked out of Nancy again, and some things needed to be readjusted.

Simon was not eager to develop the film business of BesTV, so he left Nancy to handle it himself.

It's just a surprise that Nancy will go to Sofia's house for dinner: "Are you well with Nancy?"

"Always good."

"Oh, I don't even know."

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

"It sounds murky, but if you want to steal other men, you still have to tell me."

Sofia gave the man a glance: "What if I don't tell?"

"I will build a castle in Tasmania and keep you locked forever."

"Aren't you exiled Tierra del Fuego?"

"Um...you also know about this?"

"I have a good relationship with Jenny."

"It seems that we urgently need to deepen our understanding."

Simon said, tossing the magazine aside, easily pulling the woman to bed and pressing it back under him.

Sofia braced Simon's chest and begged for mercy: "No, it's already five o'clock. I'll come over to accompany you at night, OK?"

Simon didn't respond, unbuttoned the woman's black OL suit, and happily buried her head in the woman's plump chest.

Seeing that Simon didn't tear his clothes habitually, Sofia no longer resisted, gently hugged the little man's head buried in his chest, and his breathing was unavoidable.

There are some strange feelings in my heart.

Not for the first time.

I always feel that the little man in his arms is like this, child, he is...

Despite this, Sofia never dared to pierce, fearing that he would be angry and angry.

This continued for a while, and Sofia pushed Simon, saying, "It's really late."

The little man did not struggle this time and let her go again.

I went back to the bathroom to tidy up my clothes and came out again. The man was already dressed and remembered the things he had just said, "I was almost circumvented by you, why was Jenny out?"

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

Feeling that he was bullshit, Sofia didn't ask much, and stepped forward again and kissed the man, saying: "Then I will go back first, you can come at seven o'clock."

Simon nodded, sent the woman away, and looked at the time. It was still more than two o'clock in the afternoon in Los Angeles. I didn't know what Janet was doing.

The differences in the education of future generations are of course nonsense.

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

Since starting to take care of Melbourne, Veronica's personality has changed very clearly. Although only Simon and Veronica know the reason, the little guy has become a sustenance of Veronica. Everyone understands this clearly. .

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

Janet mentioned it half-jokingly the other day.

The Westeros system has grown larger and larger, and the Simons hope that more trustworthy people will take care of things.

Veronica served as the chief financial officer when he was in Johnston Holdings Group, and Simon needed it most precisely as a person in charge of supervising the financial status of the subsidiaries of the Westeros system.

Janet may not feel much about it, but Simon has always been very alert.

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

Enran is also a listed company that is heavily regulated by the open market.

Now, a series of companies in the Westeros system, Cisco, AOL, Igret, Verizon, Nokia, etc., all have the potential to develop towards the enterprise giant.

The most important point is that for all these companies, Simon has a very large share of the benefits.

This actually means that once these companies appear to be similar to the “Enron Incident” financial fraud and other acts, it will have a very big impact on the entire Westeros system.

Simon's salary 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 would be able to gain the loyalty of others.

People's hearts are always difficult to satisfy.

Simon paid a lot of money and gave enough power. Perhaps in the eyes of some people, it was a stupid act.

You trust me so much and give so much power. There are so many loopholes and flaws in corporate management. If you are not pitted, I'm sorry God.

Simon is certainly not a credulous person.

The two worlds are human beings and have more than a dozen life experiences in their minds. 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 subsidiaries of the Westeros system. The formation of the Westeros’ private intelligence team is also based on Simon’s precautions.

However, as several children are born, Janet must inevitably put part of the experience on the children.

Even if there are no children involved, as Westeros' business empire continues to expand, it will require someone else to share Janet's work.

Taking all factors into consideration, Veronica is more suitable.

Just because of some scruples, Janet did not want Simon and Veronica to get too close.So, when Veronica offered to stay in North America, Simon was rushed from Los Angeles to New York by Janet.

The valid reason is to accompany Anthony Johnston to discuss cooperation with some capitals on the acquisition of BHP Billiton.

After being busy for two days in a row, Simon sent Anthony to board the plane returning to Australia in the morning. Simon was finally free. It happened that Sofia was also in North America in the last two days.

Continue to stay in the manor outside Greenwich until more than six o'clock, Simon set off for the Sofia family's residence in the city center.

Today is Friday, September 10.

Arriving ten minutes early, Sofia greeted them, and the two greeted each other as if nothing happened. Simon and Sofia’s parents greeted each other, and then Nancy Brill arrived earlier than him. The younger child executive was just tutoring Sofia One Doing homework for your children looks very patient.

12-year-old Daniel Facie was still shy in front of Simon.

The 10-year-old Gemma was very excited to see Simon. After the adults greeted him, he curiously asked Simon if he really had $120 billion. He got a definite answer and asked how much the $120 billion was.

Simon explained patiently that until Sofia took away the haunting girl and continued her homework, she had to ask Nancy empty space, "What's the matter with Harvey?"

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

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

Nancy didn't care: "If I knew it was a bastard, I would never have contacted him."

"You know, that's what Hollywood is like. If you have a moral cleansing habit, don't think about it."

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

"It was like this at the beginning, and I was very worried about the future of BesTV Entertainment."

"It's already arranged there, anyway, you shouldn't expect much from Blockbuster in the short term, do you?"

"You can't surprise my boss?"

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

Simon raised an eyebrow: "Oh, you still have this ambition."

Nancy leaned on the sofa arm, watching Simon blinking a few times, reacting, rolling her eyes and saying bluntly: "You are also a bastard."

Simon helpless: "I deduct your salary."

Nancy made a disdainful expression, but looked at Sophia who saw the shuttle in the kitchen and dining room: "Sophie's Hermès scarf is so beautiful."

"I think so."

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

"You will lose a good friend by doing this."

"Ugh."

Nancy suddenly sighed inexplicably and stopped talking.

Simon didn't speak anymore, he picked up the coffee table and looked at the last "Business Weekly".

Nancy continued to maintain the posture she had just looked at the man next to her for a moment, and some admired her boss's instant concentration. This kind of ability to forget everything around her soon enough if she is serious can't reach her.Probably also understand, mainly because he is Westeros.

Such a powerful little man does not need to care too much about everything around him.

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

Simon looked away from the magazine and only said one word: "Compaq."

Nancy was slightly dissatisfied and simply stood up and came barefoot.

Simon is on a two-person sofa, and the senior executive of the small child did not shy away. He squeezed beside Simon and sat down, looking at the magazine in his hand.

This is an article that introduces Compaq's recently launched personal computer network direct business model.

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 used this direct sales model to eliminate middlemen, and even directly reduced the price of the PC by half. Therefore, from the establishment in 1984 to 1992 in last year, this company used only a short time. In six years, he has entered the ranks of Fortune 500 companies in the United States.

Because of the success of the direct sales model, in addition to IBM's always slow-moving Big Mac, other companies have followed suit.

Through several successful cooperations with Igret in online marketing and the rise of e-commerce, Compaq recently launched a network direct sales model. This business model is actually the B2C (Business-to-Consumer) in the e-commerce field. ), 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 direct network sales, so it can provide users with cost-effective products.

With the rise of the Internet, the PC industry, which is far from being saturated, has also expanded rapidly.

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

Nancy Probe finished reading this article with Simon and commented: "A very good business model, the key depends on the implementation."

Simon felt the fragrance of Chanel No. 16 which was renewed by the little woman beside him, and smiled and said, "It has always been like this, running a company, some of the core principles are nothing more than controlling costs, improving efficiency, and customers. First of all, everyone knows the truth, but some people just shout slogans, some people will really implement it, some people want to implement it, but they find that the company’s tail is too big to return."

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

"I don’t know. However, the continued civilianization of PCs with constant price reduction is a major trend. Compaq’s direction is correct. The key is to look at the implementation. Of course, I will not invest in any OEM manufacturer. 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 pay little attention."

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

"If it's speculation, of course it's okay. Affected by the rise of the Internet industry, within five years, whether it is 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 whiten Simon again: "Do you want to mislead me?"

"Obviously you asked first."

"BOSS, do you know, just some of the things you just said, have you revealed too much?"

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

Nancy's eyes dodged subconsciously, and she quickly greeted herself unwillingly.

What Zhang Zhangzui wanted to say, after all, failed to export. Fortunately, Sofia happened to come over to remind them that the dinner was ready, so Nancy got up and walked to the restaurant like amnesty.
