David Rubinstein returned to North America on the afternoon of November 3, two days before the 1996 US general election.

Instead of returning directly to New York, they first contacted domay point manor to ask if they could stop by and get a response. They also reminded that today was the birthday of Seattle, the daughter of Westeros. So they urgently contacted their friends here to help them choose a suitable gift.

When I came to domay point manor, I found that the costumes here were like Christmas. All kinds of colorful balloons and inflatable dolls were very warm.

It's just that it's not so warm when I see a little girl on her birthday, and I'm a little scared.

Is Stephen Hawking's a brief history of time reduced to the level that a three-year-old girl can understand? What the little girl was holding was obviously either a simple picture version for children or the original version. So after expressing birthday congratulations and getting a very formulaic response, I couldn't help discussing with the little girl.

He was soon asked to be speechless.

As a liberal arts student with a legal background, after the book became popular, Rubinstein also read it as a leisure book, but he could not understand much.

Seeing that the little girl had seen through his details and turned to the book again, David Rubinstein suddenly felt that maybe he was old. And the Simon Westeros, probably aliens.

The glass curtain wall of shell villa.

Looking at the little girl who was taken away by Janet westero's hand, Rubinstein glanced at James Leibold, who was not surprised. He turned to westero and said with a smile, "Simon, sear's cleverness is really amazing, but don't you think it's wrong to let the children start too early?"

Simon shook his head and said: "I always feel that ignorance is a waste of life. If children have average intelligence, I will not force them. But since sear is different from ordinary people, it's nothing to start exploring the world early. I've also learned that genius often falls into a bottleneck due to various restrictions in his life, and even goes to the extreme of pain, but these obstacles do not exist for SYL. "

David Rubinstein could not help but think of Newton, who began to turn to alchemy and Theology in previous years. It was the technology and resource constraints of that time that made the scientific giant unable to move forward. And none of this will be a problem for Seattle westrow.

Even if the little girl plans to visit Mars in the future, the Westeros have the strength to support each other in doing so.

After another casual chat, we began to get down to business. Rubinstein talked to Simon in detail about the revised plan on the plane according to the results of the meeting with Chen Qing.

Simon listened carefully and nodded: "it's a good plan. First, we should increase competition to promote the development of the industry. In the future, we can integrate our layout through mergers and acquisitions, and then we can go public. According to the specific industry situation in the future, we can decide whether to cash out or hold for a long time."

Simon said, not forgetting to look at James sitting on the sofa.

James Leibold said: "there's one more important issue, technology. David, have you thought about it? The construction machinery industry in China is very backward. If there is only capital but no technology, it will be difficult to develop in the short term. "

"Of course, our team here has begun to operate," said David Rubinstein. "It's not easy to reach cooperation with giants like Caterpillar, and we may lose the initiative. However, many second - and third tier construction machinery enterprises in Europe and the United States are still very advanced in technology compared with Chinese Enterprises, and many of them are still very successful in operation The situation is not good. We can acquire technology through direct acquisition or introduction of cooperation and deliver it to China. "

"There are bound to be barriers to technology transfer at the level of Washington and other national authorities," James blurted out, then responded with a smile. "I don't think that's a problem for you either."

Everybody knew that, Rubinstein also laughed, nodded and said: "of course, no problem."

Simon added: "speaking of this, David, you should pay attention to the election process at home?"

"Yes, I heard that Dole has given up and is conducting the last 96 hours of national roadshows to canvass Republican candidates all over the country."

The past "October surprise" has not reversed. Bill Clinton is still ahead of Republican presidential candidate Bob Dole.

Since losing the election is a foregone conclusion, Bob Dole has not done any more futile work. Instead, he started a 96 Hour National roadshow on November 1 the day before yesterday to canvass Republican candidates for the Senate and the house of Representatives. He hopes that his supporters can vote for Republican candidates in various places, so as to ensure that the Republican Party will continue to vote for Republican candidates after this year's election Control of both houses of Congress.

It's also the 73 year old veteran Republican politician's last effort for his party.

Bob Dole will retire at the end of the election.

David Rubinstein not only worked in the Carter administration, but also has been a political activist. Simon saw that he was really familiar with the general election situation, and then said: "well, David, there is no doubt about Dole's defeat. I hope you can invite him to join Carlyle's board of directors after the election.""Simon, I'm a Democrat."

David Rubinstein said this subconsciously. However, seeing the young man beside him looking at himself without any doubt, he nodded and said, "I have no problem here, but I have to discuss with George and them."

"I've already called George, including Dole's side, and made some contacts in private," Simon said, satisfied with Rubinstein's nod. "In fact, cersei capital doesn't lack a place, but you know, it's too conspicuous to let you out. Of course, Dole's joining Carlyle is certainly only good for you, just like the technology transfer that will be promoted soon. Now both houses of Congress are under the control of the Republican Party. In the future, Dole may just need to say hello. "

In fact, David Rubinstein's politeness is just an excuse. Since he has already abandoned politics and started business, businessmen should pursue profits, not to mention the obvious benefits of accepting dole.

What I just said is that Rubinstein instinctively doesn't want to lose more control over Carlyle.

Calm down, David Rubinstein will soon return to reality.

The fund managers on Wall Street, even George Soros, in the final analysis, are just managing money for others. Their positioning is still professional managers, and the capital behind the scenes is their boss.

There is no shortage of fund managers who are so proud that they can take the initiative, such as George Soros, who is becoming more and more famous, and John Merriwether, who is a long-term capital management company. However, these are only a few. Most fund managers are still very clear about their position.

Carlyle is like that.

What's more, Simon westero's demands are not excessive. On the contrary, they are good for Carlyle. If so, he has to oppose for the so-called initiative, which is very unwise.

After talking for more than ten minutes, David Rubinstein got up and left.

Although it is a little girl's birthday today, there is no intention of holding a large-scale party at domay point manor. It is very inappropriate for him to stay.

Simon didn't stay and sent Rubinstein away. It was evening. The family of George Norman, Jennifer's uncle, arrived soon and began to make a fuss and prepare for the dinner.

Generally speaking, there are not many people. In addition to her family, Veronica, who came from Australia to live for a while, and the rebolds and Normans on Jennifer's side, are basically family dinners. And it's a birthday for two kids, Seattle and Nicholas.

Janet's little Nick is three days later than her sister Seattle, and her three parents don't mean to toss and toss again and again, and finish it all at once.

The next day was Monday, November 4, the day before the general election.

The second weekend of the Halloween schedule also ended.

Before that, in the first week of the Halloween season, the latest series Annabel of the evocation film universe was irresistible in front of a new and old film. With an opening screen size of 2739 pieces and an excellent score of 7.8, it won $47.36 million at the box office in the first seven days of the first week. This achievement is second only to "the morgue haunted event 2" in the evocation film universe in the first half of the Easter season The first week's opening performance of $51.69 million ranked the second place in the five soul stirring movies released.

In fact, the most important point is that Annabel, in addition to the two series of "evocation" and "the haunted event in the mortuary", has opened up a new series of evocative movie universe.

After all, for a movie universe, the two series are thin after all.

Now, the successful launch of three series, and all of them have been successful, can be regarded as making the evocation movie universe truly worthy of its name.

In the past weekend, compared with the $34.53 million in the first weekend of last week's Annabel, the year-on-year decrease in the next week was only 27%, and the revenue continued to reach $25.19 million. Although this box office week straddles Halloween, it still makes the box office prospect of the third series of the evocation movie universe more clear.

After 10 days of release, the cumulative box office is 72.55 million US dollars, which is not only fully recovered but also profitable. It is expected that Annabel will become the first local movie with a box office exceeding 150 million US dollars.

Limited by the size of horror films and the nature of fast disappearing popcorn, the space project curve of soul stirring films with excellent opening box office is usually difficult to last. Before that, the best performance was "morgue haunted event 2" in this year's Easter season, with only $137 million at the local box office.

On the other hand, apart from the excellent quality of Annabel itself, it is mainly the result that the IP brand of evocative movie universe has been gaining popularity. As a result, it is almost a subconscious choice for many people to go to see a evocative movie, the universe movie, at a time like Halloween.

This also eclipses other films in the same period, such as Sony's crime comedy "the ultimate College", Paramount's Thriller "thin to death" and Disney's UBI Goldberg comedy "mysterious tycoon".

Denise entertainment has another film worth mentioning at the same time, Paul Thomas Anderson's new film "uninhibited night" produced by gaomen pictures.After earning $9.39 million in the first week, the gaomen film team increased the number of screens from 1218 in the first week to 1553. With the popular Halloween schedule and the continuous fermentation of film reputation, the box office of "uninhibited night" increased instead of decreasing in the next week, falling by 13%. In the second week, it earned $10.61 million, with a total box office of $1997 million in two weeks.

In the following weekend of the third box office week, the year-on-year decline of "uninhibited night" was only 17%, and it earned $5.79 million again in three days, with a total box office of $25.76 million.

According to the curve of three consecutive weeks and the market feedback of the film, the publicity team of gaomen cinema is expected to increase the domestic box office of "uninhibited night" from the initial $30 million to more than 40 million.

At first, it was thought that it would be a little difficult for the local government to recover $15 million in production and $5 million in publicity investment. Now, just with the local cinema distribution, "uninhibited night" is enough to recover the full cost and achieve profits, and the film itself has been promoted from a regular to a quasi black horse.

You know, although the box office records of Hollywood films have been getting higher and higher in recent years, compared with the number of only four or five hundred films registered in theaters every year, only a very small number of films have created box office miracles. Of all these films, for example, in 1995, there were only 36 films whose local box office exceeded 40 million US dollars.

This year is not over yet, but the relevant data will not differ much.

As a result, the estimated achievement of more than US $40 million by boon's night has been listed among the most successful 10% of Hollywood movies every year. Moreover, the production cost of US $15 million is also low among these 10%, and the rate of return on investment is even higher.

Relying on this excellent box office performance, gaomen film has planned to increase the public relations efforts of the film award season in order to stimulate the subsequent overseas distribution and surrounding channels.

In Simon's opinion, "unruly night" is actually one of Paul Thomas Anderson's best movies, much better than magnolia, which was once more famous.

The story structure of Magnolia is completely imitating the intersection of life by multi line narrator Robert Altman. As a super fan of Altman, Anderson is not to blame.

However, compared with the multiple lines of life intersection, the structure of Magnolia is obviously unsophisticated, and the force is too strong. Many of the characters in the film are roaring loudly, and Tom, who tries his best to play for himself from beginning to end, appears to be everywhere, no matter whether he appears in the camera or not, which makes the whole story more unbalanced.

On Monday, while paying a little attention to the box office situation in North America, Simon spent the whole day at domay point manor, working with James Leibold to organize and plan the global industrial layout of the westero system.

With the continuous rapid development of the US stock market, the investment of westero system in the mainland has basically stopped, and it is in a state of only entering but not leaving. After all, under the situation that the market is generally overheated, any investment or acquisition at present is equivalent to a high takeover. Simon would rather hold a large amount of cash than rashly buy it.

The main action in the near future is overseas.

In the morning, after browsing some recent documents, Simon came across a suitable target, INDITEX, a Spanish clothing giant who is planning to build a OEM base in Ukraine. Simon remembers the company's Zara expansion around the world.

INDITEX, Zara's parent company, is now in the initial stage of rapid growth. Although it has a solid foundation, it still needs funds to expand rapidly.

This is the opportunity for the westero system.

As a matter of fact, Simon paid more attention to the express FMCG Brand under the company's parent company, Ltd group. However, under the leadership of its founder, Leslie Wexner, the development of this sub brand in recent years has not reached Simon's expectation. In fact, Wexner has lost its passion for business.

In that case, you can't hang yourself from a tree.

Then, it's mainly China.

In addition to the IPO of China Telecom, which will launch a global roadshow at the beginning of next month, Chen Qing also informed Simon of recent events by email.

Whether it's Zhu Momo's mother's idea to let Jinshu film and television city "make money", or the investment and acquisition of several real estate projects in Beijing, or even other real estate, food, science and technology, heavy industry and other fields, Simon holds a rather relaxed attitude of spreading the net.

Now China is a blue ocean of investment, first come first served.

What's more, Simon also has the advantages that all other capital entering China can't compare with. It only says that in recent months, Evergrande, country garden, Haitian, Nongfu mountain spring and other brands have been finalized or under negotiation, and their return rate is hundreds of times.

Even if some of them deviated from the previous development track due to the interference of Simon, as long as some of them were successful, the vistrow system would be full.

So, may Momo's mother want to have sex, no problem.

In fact, the shorter the cycle of the project, the more favorable it will be for the Jinshu department. If it really takes 10 years and the cost of all aspects rises, 2 billion will not be enough. Now, if it is shortened to five years, the budget of many projects can be greatly saved, and the difficulty of promoting the whole plan will be greatly reduced.As for the result, it's less than $300 million, and even if it turns out to be a mess, Simon deserves it.

And it won't pay at all.

A large number of projects involved in the land, in the future, China's real estate industry will lead to a sharp rise in land prices, if necessary, a single hand may be several times the profits.

Over there in the capital.

Since some people want the westero system to take over the mess of a rose garden villa in Changping District, they must give face and get the approval of the golf club near Xiangshan. Even if the development is completed in the future, the demand for high-end villas in Beijing is not so strong, just hoard them.

Beijing has been hoarding houses for ten or twenty years, and it is absolutely not a loss.

Just like a real estate tycoon in Hong Kong, he often plays tricks in the mainland to hoard houses and land for 20 or 30 years, and the result is that there are plenty of pots and pans.

The key to this is actually financial strength.

The main reason why mainland developers want to be quick and even have a project that takes only six months from land acquisition to opening is that the capital chain is too tight. Simon's money is so abundant that he can't afford to spend it. Hoarding real estate is actually a disguised investment. Whether it is sold ten or twenty years later, the growth rate of house prices in the future is doomed to be profitable.

Of course, it's not good to have an empty house, but you can have a beautiful house, right? At that time, Simon can also try to hide the "Jiao" of the whole villa area.
