Hollywood Hunter

Chapter 661 Compromise (2)

A sudden slap in the face of Grace made Laura Graff a bit veiled. After years of pampering, she couldn’t remember the last time someone started working on herself, even if the conflict in the restaurant had just happened and the two happened to happen. The diners who entered the store separated her from the two gangsters, and she did not suffer any losses.

Feeling the little star floating in front of him, Laura Graff forgot to fight back for a moment, but just stared at Grace and said: "You beat me, I... I want to sue you, I want to talk to Elite Cancellation."

Grace slaps out and regrets it.

However, hearing the threat of the woman in front of her, Grace did not intend to endure any more, got off the bus and came to the other side, pulled the door, grabbed Laura Graff's hair directly, and pulled her out of the co-pilot and threw it on the road Go on, go straight away after re-boarding.

Returning to the company, because there was no helicopter to pick up this time, worrying about traffic jams during off-hours, Grace worked to leave for get off work early at 4:30 in the afternoon and rushed to Greenwich.

The appointed time is six o'clock in the afternoon.

Grace arrived half an hour early, did not pass too early, spent 20 minutes in a coffee shop in downtown Greenwich, and then set off again.When I came to the door of the manor last time, I was stopped by the security guards, and I was tossed for a while before being allowed to enter.

Simon hasn't returned yet. She was greeted by an Indian girl named Aaliyah.

She was still taken to the living room last time, and Zoe was also there. And, after entering the villa, she discovered that a party was being prepared here, and a group of beautiful girls with obvious development potential in the fashion circle shuttled inside the villa. Busy, even let Grace produce some inexplicable inferiority complex.

Simon returned from outside at half past six, and her wife Janet Westeros.

Suddenly a little guilty.

However, until more than ten minutes later Simon walked into the living room, Janet Westero did not appear.

In the living room, Simon sat down on the sofa at random and looked at her with a smile: "You hit Laura at noon?"

I didn't expect a man to talk about this suddenly, nor did he expect to know so quickly.

Grace was in a hurry, not knowing how to explain it.

It's just, um, the man doesn't seem to be angry, which makes her relax a lot.

Seeing Grace not answering, Simon didn't ask, and said: "A said you have something to talk to me, do you?"

There was some buzzing in my head. Fortunately, I didn’t forget the excuse I had previously thought: "Simon, I just want to ask, what to do next, sorry about the three of them, at noon, but I really have to Can't control it."

Simon shook his head slightly and said, "Actually, you did well at noon. By the way, the house they lived in was rented by you. According to the idea you had some time ago, since you can't stand it, rush them to the basement tomorrow. Now."

Grace heard the words and looked at the man with a strange expression in her expression.

Simone didn't hide, shrugged, and said, "Every day, someone sorts out the three of them for me, just as a pastime." With this in mind, Simon thought about it, summoned Zoe, and said a few words, baby face The girl quickly took over a booklet.

Grace pretended to look inadvertently, from the picture, this should be some real estate information.

Simon picked it for a moment, stopped on one of the pages, circled his finger imaginatively, and handed it to Zoe again, but said to Grace: "Tomorrow someone will give you a key to the property,

Grace nodded.

Although I don’t know what a man’s property is like, the property I want to buy in Westeros can’t be any worse, at least more luxurious than the house they live in now.

It’s just too wasteful to live there for the mother and daughter.

Thinking about it, Grace was about to continue to speak. Girl A walked in and bowed to the man's ear to whisper something. Grace only heard a word, Hirst.

Simon listened to Girl A, and just nodded slightly, and said to Grace: "Then, that's right, wait for a party. If you don't have other arrangements at night, you can stay."

At breakfast, Grace promised her son to go to the movies with his family tonight. Before the time to decline Simon's invitation, the man got up and walked out.

Watching the man leave, Grace looked at the baby-faced girl who hadn't been on the sidelines and thought about it and asked, "Zoe, what party is it today?"

"A party on the Wall Street financial circle, you know, Daenerys Entertainment will be listed next week," Zoe explained, adding: "Ms. Sprint, the boss has just been polite, if you have other It’s okay to leave early if arranged."

A party on the Wall Street financial circle!

Grace jumped in her heart, remembering her husband's recent difficulties.

in case……

After hesitating, Grace asked carefully: "Zoe, me, can I invite another person to come over?" When Zoe wondered, Grace added: "It's my husband, who also happens to work on Wall Street, First Boston."

Zoe glanced at her, and it always made people want to pinch the doll's face suddenly with a little bit of cunning: "The guest list was prepared by A, Ms. Spurt, if you really plan to do so, You can discuss it with A, but I think she will definitely agree."

Thinking of the coldness of girl A in her few encounters with herself, and then looking at the sly expression on Zoe's face at this time, Grace quickly understood what was going on.

The man was not interested in himself, at least, not interested in going to bed.

So Grace didn't expect anything at all.

For so many years, even if it has been flat, she still has feelings for her husband. At this time, since there is an opportunity, it is also natural for her family.

Man is a very complicated creature.

Sometimes, even if the body and mind are all derailed, it doesn't mean that you don't care about others.

Seeing that Grace had no objection, Zoe blinked at her: "So, come with me."

The two left the living room, Zoe and the passing girl asked a few words, and soon found the girl A who was in the kitchen directing the chef to prepare party dishes.

Grace said her request, and girl A agreed.

With permission, Grace could not care about anything else for the time being and called her husband to let him put down everything in his hands and rushed to Greenwich as soon as possible.As for taking children to the movies at night, of course it seems irrelevant.

The summer days are long, so the party is scheduled to start at eight o'clock.

For an hour before the party, Simon was in the villa study with Randolph Hirst, the current agent of the Hirst family, and the lawyers of both parties to discuss the final details of the settlement.

After the last attempt to sell assets to alleviate the crisis of the family business was stricken by Simon, the Hearst family realized that they wanted to get past this threshold. In any case, they could not bypass the Westeros system and continued to delay for some time. The possible methods have been exhausted, and finally decided to compromise and fully agreed to Simon's request.

There have been several discussions in advance, and this time the two sides only finally confirmed some details.

or.

More precisely, some details that the Hirst family cares about.

In the final agreement, the Hearst family sold the 20% stake in the ESPN television network held by the Hearst Group to Westeros for $1, while paying the full amount of $370 million in compensation in 6 lawsuits. In exchange, the Westeros system will no longer have any targeted behavior against the Hearst family in the future.

After officially signing the agreement, the Hearst family can publicize the news on the family media in order to convey certain information to the media and the public.

On the other hand, the Hearst family also guarantees that in the future all media of the Hearst Group will no longer have any news that denigrates the Westeros system, nor will the Hearst family support politicians to promote any possible targeting of Westeros. System of government bills.

The basic core is that the two sides will not violate the river water in the future.

However, the settlement agreement limits the Hearst family far beyond the responsibility of the Westeros system.

When night fell completely, Simon and Randolph Hearst signed their names on several contracts, and the Westeros system and the Hearst family lasted for a few months, either explicitly or implicitly. The entanglement ends at least on the surface.

The two parties left the study together, and the party has already begun.

Randolph Hirst didn't have any plans to show up in front of others. Even though this would bring some benefits to the Hirst family, he still quietly left the side door of the villa.

When Hirst left, Simon said to James Rebold who had just met together: "Jim, you privately sent someone to ABC over to let them buy shares of the Hearst family's AE television network."

AE TV Network is another basic cable network operated by the Hearst family and the Metropolitan ABC Group that focuses on fashion, life, and science. Both parties hold 50% of their shares, and they include TV stations such as Lifetime and History Channel.

After the settlement between the two parties, the Hirst family still needs to sell assets in order to compensate the huge amount of USD 370 million in six lawsuits.

The long-term use of paper as the fundamental mindset will largely lead the Hearst Group to give priority to selling its own'non-core assets'. If ABC is more active, it will be easy to recover all the shares of AE TV Network.

Westeros won a 20% stake in ESPN, and then let ABC buy back the equity of AE TV network. The Hirst family has little left in the TV field, and the rest are basically newspaper assets.

After several months of conflict and a series of negative news during this period, a large number of paper media owned by the Hearst family have actually been damaged. Under the general trend of rapid decline of paper media in the future, it is absolutely impossible to survive. It will be too much.By then, the end of the Hearst family can be imagined.

James nodded and understood Simon's intention.

The two walked through the corridor to the hall together, but James quickly said another thing: "Simon, since Jenny is not working anymore, maybe you can have more children."

As for the relationship between his daughter and Simon, the Reybolds have already defaulted for a long time. Especially when the two had children, the news was fully disclosed some time ago, and the Reybolds never thought about anything else.

However, parents will always consider more for their children.

Jennifer and Simon have only one daughter, which seems a bit inappropriate to the couple.

Both East and West are more or less patriarchal in their bones, and they generally prefer the inheritance rights of boys. Take the Hurst family just now, the six children of William Hurst, in After Hurst's death, most of the assets were reserved for his sons, and the youngest daughter's share of assets obtained by several brothers was almost equal to leaving the house.

Simon is always a little embarrassed about Rabold mentioning this kind of thing: "Jim, it depends on what Jenny means. I'm fine."

James took it for granted: "Jenny must want to have more children. She likes children very much."

Simon nodded: "Well, I will take the time to talk to Jenny."

James was satisfied with Simon's attitude and smiled and raised his hand to pat on his shoulder.

Simon is helpless.

How does it seem to have this "bad" habit?

Quickly changed the subject and asked about the assistant younger brother Philip Rebold. The daughter was already cheaper, and James paid more attention to his son.Philip Rebold had completed his undergraduate degree in economics at Yale last year, and went directly to law school to continue his three-year doctor of law degree under James’s arrangement.

James really was very interested in this topic, and was more relieved that Simon could actively mention Philip.

The two walked and chatted and came to the villa lobby, which was already full of people.

Although it was a gathering in the financial circle, some senior officials of the Westeros system in New York were also invited. James saw the old friend Robert Iger and greeted Simon and walked over.

Simon also smiled and greeted George Soros, who had come tonight to join in the fun.

This year is 1994. In the history, after the fame of the World War I against the pound in 1992, Soros's second war was directed at Mexico.

Simon's memory of the Mexican currency crisis broke out around October at the end of the year.

For Mexico, Simon does not have the scruples of Europe or Asia.

Although the Westeros system will still not be busy this time, it may be possible to make some layouts in private, including 200 million US dollars invested in Soros's quantum fund.

What's more, Soros is just a hedge fund predator in most people's minds, which is not the case. Several funds under his name are also involved in stocks, bonds, venture capital and other businesses. This time, they also subscribed for 2 million shares of Daenerys. The shares of the entertainment group.

Simon and Soros talked about the Mexican currency for a while. The two had just finished the conversation. I don’t know when they changed a black dress. Grace Spurt walked over with a slightly thin middle-aged man. .

Coming near, Grace actively introduced: "Simon, this is my husband, Bill. He works in First Boston."

Simon noticed a slight guilty glance in the woman's eyes when he talked to him, but only smiled, stretched out his hand, and the middle-aged man who was clearly restrained in front of him shook his hand: "Hello, Bill."

"Mr. Westeros, nice to meet you."

"Just call me Simon."

"Oh, of course, Simon."

Bill Spurt took Simon's outstretched palm and said with a bit of flattering, until he realized that the other side pulled his arm back slightly, and then quickly let go.

Suddenly called by his wife to Greenwich's mansion belonging to Simon Westero, looking at a group of Wall Street gangsters who can only look up on weekdays, Bill Spurt is still a bit like a cloud, I don't know if he is In dreaming, I have quietly pinched myself several times in private.
