Hollywood Hunter

For the entire day of October 20, Simon stayed at Westeros corporate headquarters at Rockefeller Center in Midtown Manhattan.

Through the communication with the senior executives of Igret, the political consultant team of the Westeros family, the Cersei capital analysis team, the Simon’s personal assistant office and even the Westeros private intelligence team, we have clearly completed the recent logistics around Wisconsin. Sort out and analyze a series of events in the distribution center.

In a small meeting room in Westeros headquarters, it was already evening.

Simon and James Rebold stood side by side in front of a white writing board in the corner of the meeting room, with only a few words on the whiteboard.

political party.

union.

Bearish.

media.

Competitors.

A lot of things seem complicated, and there is always a few core threads.

To win votes, political parties must provoke some topics that are of most interest to the public and make promises that are in line with public wishes.

The trade union should maintain its own position while striving for more benefits.

Shorts require a company’s share price to fall in order to be profitable.

The media needs public opinion hot spots to promote sales and ratings.

Among competitors, as long as there is a chance, they cannot be soft-hearted.

Not only that, these factors are not completely divorced from each other, but a mutually reinforcing relationship. Political parties should draw on trade unions, and shorts must borrow the power of trade unions and political parties. The media is often the most effective tool. The media spoilers are happy to hear.

The two silently looked at a list of words on the whiteboard for a moment, and James Rebled first said: "I will go to Washington on the weekend to talk to the president."

The White House pair really needs to be beaten.

Simon actually did not demand much from the Clintons, and he knew that in that position, there were too many things to be weighed.However, if the other party blindly observes the Democratic Party’s use of Igrit in Wisconsin on the grounds that the party is not rigid, he does not mind letting the Democratic Party lose its influence in Wisconsin to the greatest extent.

As a state that was focused on last year's mid-term elections, and also a focus of the deep plowing plan in the political sphere of the Westeros, Simon is not difficult to achieve this.Compared to those in the Midwest where there are only two or three electoral votes, Wisconsin’s share of 10 electoral votes is not at all insignificant.

Thinking this, Simon nodded and said, "Also, if you can, talk to Gore again."

Taking advantage of the popularity that Clinton has accumulated in recent years, next year's election, there will be little suspense in re-election. Instead, Vice President Gore, who wants to continue to seize the presidential throne after Clinton, will inevitably be inseparable from the Westeros system. s help.Moreover, compared with the relatively shallow foundation of the Clintons, the Gore family has a much deeper influence in the Democratic Party.

James, however, knew about Simon’s quiet meeting with Bush at the beginning of the year. He also understood some of Simon’s thoughts and heard the words: “Did you change your mind?”

"Of course not, Jim, you just need to have a meal with Gore and don't need to promise anything."

Simon did not hope that after Clinton, Gore would continue the national policy of centering US economic development. Instead, he hoped that the Bush family would return to power, and after a few wars, Clinton’s accumulated family would be revived, and the United States would fundamentally decline. According to the original Simon believes that the way of weak people realized in this book is more beneficial to the expansion of Westeros system.

However, during the discussion with James, Simon would not be so straightforward to explain.

It's hard to say whether James will be a determined patriot.

Therefore, the reason given by Simon is that the huge Westeros system must have certain solid allies between the two parties in the United States. The Clintons are considered to be allies of the Democratic Party. The two parties’ detached relationship is actually just right. If they are too close, it is estimated that Clinton Re-election will be a problem, let alone continue to exert the influence of the Clinton family in the future.

In the Republican Party, Simon chose the Bush family.

As for Clinton's current vice president Al Gore, although the other party is the main promoter of the US Information Highway Act, Simon has not considered from the beginning to overcook the other party.

Of course, it is okay to use the influence of the Gore family within the Democratic Party to interfere in the recent disturbances.

No matter whether it is politics or business, there is no escape.

Having said this, James again underlined the word "short" on the whiteboard and asked, "This, Simon, what are you going to do?"

The five factors that caused the storm, the last two'media' and'competitor' are not too important.

The Westeros system now has a very strong control over the media field, and there will never be a one-sided phenomenon.

As for competitors, not many will be taken into account by the Westeros system.

Therefore, in addition to political parties and trade unions, the other most unstable factor is Wall Street’s short-selling capital against Westeros technology stocks.

Simon sorted out his thoughts a little bit and said: "Short-selling short-selling a company wants to succeed, nothing more than those means, provoking litigation disputes, introducing authorities to intervene, exposing financial scandals, etc.. Wisconsin's affairs are not related to short-selling Big, they are still building positions, but I think they will continue to use these things to suppress the market’s confidence in Igret. As for the financial aspect, Igrit now has no chance to drill for them, so it is the most important The means of introducing government intervention is nothing more than antitrust review. Even though we have had some compromises with Washington, Igret’s monopoly advantage is still too obvious. Robertson they want to short, the most effective way is from this aspect Get started."

Choosing the right time to split Igret, this is Simon's established plan.

After all, Igrid’s scale is too large now, and if it is not actively adjusted, it is difficult to escape the shackles of development.

James also understands this, so he understands that even if those shorts really succeed, it won’t hurt Igrett, but he quickly asks: "Simon, you really don’t worry about the new technology bubble in the short term. Is it broken?"

Simon said: "Cisco, AOL and Igreat are the only ones I am a little worried about because it is still investing heavily in building its own infrastructure network, so I plan to let AOL issue a 50 in the near future. There is enough cash in the long-term bonds of 100 million US dollars. In addition, there is nothing. If the bubble really bursts, with Cisco’s market advantage, it can easily survive the trough, especially for Igrid. You must have already After reading the memo of the meeting on October 7, the fund raised by this company's IPO is the money I prepared for the bottom-up expansion after the bubble burst. Therefore, if the new technology bubble bursts in advance, it will only benefit us. , Because many potential competitors will be greatly damaged, and even have to completely withdraw from this field."

James re-scanned a list of words on the whiteboard and turned to Simon again, his eyes bright: "So, do you actually think that these things haven't been a big deal recently?"

"Of course not, we still have to take it seriously, and handle these things very carefully. There has never been a lack of various black swan events in human history, and sometimes it may be just a trivial little thing that may brew into one It’s an irreversible storm. Therefore, I will only tell you what I just said. In front of other people, my attitude is definitely like a big enemy."

James listened to Simon's words and showed a relieved smile, but couldn't help saying: "Simon, I am curious many times. What kind of experience will make you so mature?"

Simon smiled and said, "Jim, let's talk about the next topic."

James just asked at random, and did not expect to get an answer.

The two continued to discuss some specific details of the follow-up, until 6 o'clock in the afternoon, before leaving get off work.

Speaking of which, Simon is actually happy to see what has happened recently, and even some things that can be expected in the future.

Because the rise in the technology stock market is indeed too fast.

Simon is happy to see the growth rate of Igret and other Westeros technology stocks slow down.

Only thin water can flow.

Therefore, even without these things, Simon is also planning to start reducing the holdings of Westeros technology stocks early next year, on the one hand cashing out funds for investment in other fields, and on the other hand suppressing the overheating rally of technology stocks.

Now it is a two-pronged approach.

Of course, Simon will not let this go.

Just like the sudden strike of the truck driver of the contractor of the Wisconsin distribution center, in order to avoid similar surprises in the future, Simon's treatment this time will definitely make some people unforgettable.

There are no work arrangements for the weekend, Veronica is still in Los Angeles and cannot return to the West Coast.

In recent days, I occasionally glanced at the map in the apartment, and casually decided to temporarily go to the Alaska wilderness that had begun to snow, go racing, hunting, hiking, and relaxing.

Ordinary people see rich people wearing ordinary clothes and driving ordinary cars to eat ordinary food. They often think that the rich are just like that, and even give birth to some strange sense of superiority.In fact, the greatest advantages that wealth brings to people are freedom and choice.Wealthy people can wear ordinary clothes, but they can also brush luxury goods in a shopping street at any time. This is for ordinary people who can save half a year for a shoulder bag.

Simon wants to go to Alaska on the weekend and tells him that everything will be arranged.

Fashion week has just passed, many models have come to New York, while taking a break, while preparing for the Victoria's Secret Show at the end of the year.Simon had planned to bring a few large vases together, and had a meal with Erin Lauder on Wednesday. Speaking casually, the girl snatched the pit.

Obviously there can only be one.

On Friday night, he rushed to join Simon and spent the night in the northern suburbs of Greenwich, Connecticut. The next morning it was just dawning, and the two boarded Simon’s private Boeing 767 and flew to Alaska. The itinerary arrived in Anchorage. Because of the time difference, the time was still more than nine o'clock on Saturday.

After landing, he left Anchorage and drove more than 100 kilometers east to a wilderness hunting ground.

In October, Alaska has already reached the snowfall season. Fortunately, not all areas are covered with snow. This hunting field selected by Simon and his colleagues is naturally the same. Arriving at the destination and looking around, the most direct feeling is the vast sky and the vast sky.

Irene Lauder, who has been a good girl for many years and has never had such an experience, is even more excited. After getting out of the car and looking around, she quickly couldn't help spreading her arms and yelled out loud.

It was already noon.

A group of bodyguards accompanying Simon and two guides, a man and a woman, began to prepare lunch. Simon naturally didn't need to pay attention to these things. After Irene Lauder finished venting, she looked at the girl's red face and smiled and asked, "How do you feel?" "

Erin Lauder felt Simon’s smile, suddenly a little shy, and stepped forward to hold the man’s arm: "The gun, aren’t we going to hunt? Tell you, I’m such a big boy, I’ve never touched a gun, You must try it later, um, I can’t hunt any animals, can I just empty the gun?"

"of course."

Simon nodded and led the girl towards a buggy at the back. A bodyguard was already organizing the guns, because this is a large animal hunting ground inhabited by moose and brown bears, and the trunk was filled with rifles with sights.

Seeing Simon came with Irene Lauder, the bodyguard greeted him, but instead of picking those rifles, he dragged an obviously heavy box. After opening, he looked at a large, exaggerated shape in the box. The gun, Erin Lauder suddenly widened her eyes slightly.

The middle-aged bodyguard with a calm personality took a big gun in both hands and handed it to Simon. He couldn't help but persuade: "Boss, do you have to play this?"

Simon easily took over the famous Barrett anti-equipment sniper rifle with one hand, gestured slightly, and gestured towards the barrel: "Remove the bracket, it's not good-looking."

The middle-aged bodyguard was helpless, but he was very skilled at helping Simon to remove the bracket of the front part of the big gun. He already knew how his boss planned to play.However, thinking about his boss's strength is different from ordinary people, this 15-kilogram gun is not a big deal in his hand.Passing the magazine again, think about the case that your boss is injured, you will certainly not be able to walk around with your own food, or finally try hard: "Boss, use this gun to hunt, even the brown bear will be broken."

Simon took the magazine and ran into it, saying: "I didn't plan to hit the brown bear, just hit the stone."

After talking about it, holding a big gun in one hand, and holding one hand around the awkward Elin Lauder: "Baby, go, let's try this big toy together."

Erin Lauder followed Simon’s strength and walked not far outside the camp, standing beside the man, watching him carry the heavy, exaggerated gun.

then.

boom……

At an instant, looking at the tall figure next to him, looking at the wild gun, a loud noise came from the ear. Erin Lauder felt like she had become a prey of some guy. It is still the kind that does not need to chase and hunt.

Manor in northern suburb of Greenwich, Connecticut.

The weekend passed.

This is October 23.

on Monday.

The chef prepared the breakfast in person, and after waiting for the morning exercise, the man who changed into a suit and sat down opposite the table. Erin Lauder thoughtfully took the initiative to distribute the breakfast. She sat down at the table but did not immediately pick up the cutlery. After holding this hand this weekend, he still has a certain fascinating temperament face, and he looked at a guy for a while, and suddenly asked: "Simon, are you intentional?"
