Under the deliberate suppression of the public relations team of the Westeros family, although the news about the capping of the Westeros building can not be concealed, it caused little waves in the media. There was no media report on the capping ceremony the day before.
In the northern suburb of Greenwich.
At breakfast time, the whole family chatted about it at random. Simon thought of a "skyscraper law" which has not been formally put forward. In short, the completion of a large number of skyscrapers often leads to a serious economic recession. For example, the construction of skyscrapers in New York represented by Rockefeller Center in the 1930s was accompanied by the most serious recession in American history. In the 1970s, the twin towers were completed, the Bretton Woods system dominated by the United States collapsed, and the oil crisis broke out at the same time.
this time, the top floor of Weiss's building has reached its peak and is likely to burst at any time.
After breakfast, the Indian girl who got Janet's approval rushed to Manhattan by helicopter to attend today's IPO ceremony of instagram as its founding shareholder.
Simon didn't rush to work, but stayed at home.
In this way, it wasn't until more than nine o'clock when a black car entered the manor and was reminded by the maid that Janet, who was next to Simon to look through a piece of information, got a glimpse of her man at home and got up to go out. Simon also got up, but Janet and the children didn't show up on the other side of the villa.
It was Irene Lauder who got off the car.
While living on the east coast, Janet has met grace and went to Boston to have a talk with Maria. Only Irene is left. Wang doesn't see Wang's appearance. After a long period of uneasiness, Irene finally offered to visit her. Today is the day.
As she got out of the car, Irene Lauder was a little relieved to see Simon and Janet coming together. She could not help but cast a resentful look at someone before smiling at Janet.
"Good morning, Jane. Nice to meet you."
"Me too, Irene. Oh, you are so beautiful today."
"Thank you."
After a friendly hug, Janet takes Irene's hand and walks to the villa together. It seems that the two women forget someone around them.
Simon certainly doesn't mind.
Just don't fight.
Smiling, she followed them through the door and went back to the living room. They sat down and Janet asked, "Irene, what would you like to drink?"
After all, the heart is not so calm surface Irene habitually said: "coffee is OK."
"That's not good. If you're pregnant, you'd better not drink coffee. How about orange juice?"
"Good."
Janet orders angri, the housekeeper who comes in, and then looks at Irene with concern: "so, how are you feeling recently?"
"It's only been more than two months. Except for occasional pregnancy and vomiting, everything else is very good," Irene said, pausing and saying, "I had an examination last week, and the baby is also very good."
"Do you know it's a boy or a girl?"
Hearing this question, Irene subconsciously looked at a guy next to her. She felt guilty and hesitated a little. She still said, "if there's no accident, it's a boy."
If ordinary people want to know the sex of the fetus, they can only be identified by B-ultrasound after three or four months of pregnancy.
For Irene, there is no need to wait.
At this time, the girl felt guilty, just secretly determined the sex of the fetus, and wanted to hide from someone. Just now, in front of Janet westero, she couldn't help saying it.
In fact, two weeks ago, Irene quietly did DNA fetal sex identification, and Simon soon knew that, after all, the girl was accompanied by eight Uyghur bodyguards.
It's just that if Irene doesn't say it, Simon pretends not to know.
At this time, listen to Irene, Simon just right to show the result is very satisfied with the joy expression: "boy, you always want the baby named Noah, now meet the conditions."
Irene was a little relieved to see Simon like this.
Janet gave Simon a white look: "you can go to work now. Besides, evgenia has been here for a week. You can take her with you. You can take her back to Ukraine when you want."
I don't worry about anything. It's a relief for Irene to stay more.
Since Janet was in a hurry, Simon took the initiative to get up, hugged the two girls, left the living room, called girl a, and found evgenia kolkoshko to take another helicopter to Manhattan.
It's true that many people are not surprised.
Eve, on behalf of the kolkoshko family, came to send holiday gifts to Janet before Thanksgiving. She was very satisfied and left behind. Like a little Valet, she took care of herself for a week. Of course, Simon also knows that Janet obviously has other intentions. A bunch of girls in Ukraine have to choose some of their lineages to be the mouthpiece.
In the living room.When Simon left, in the face of Irene's inevitable tension, Janet didn't mean to change into a goblin because of the man's absence. Her attitude remained the same, and she said to Irene in a tone of common hatred: "maybe there's something you don't know yet."
Irene made a puzzled expression.
Janet raised a well maintained little hand and shook Irene: "little bastard got five women pregnant at a time. You're just one of them."
Ellington's eyes widened.
This She didn't know.
To be exact, she knows about her pregnancy through some channels, but others, such as grace and the two Ukrainian women in Boston, although these things are not absolutely secret, Irene, who has been most concerned about her baby after her pregnancy, is not known.
Five women, pregnant together?
With so many thoughts in her mind, Irene finally looked at Janet and said, "Jennie, aren't you angry?"
"Angry, but no way, who let me marry a little bastard."
Janet replied, though she said so, in a tone that didn't mean to be angry at all.
Of course, Irene could feel Janet's emotions, so she just thought, well, to some extent, the couple must be the same. Well, that's what Janet just called someone.
They're not good people.
Alas, pity yourself, the victim.
With this in mind, she could not help reaching out and stroking her belly. Irene only felt that her life was bitter, and so was her baby.
My poor little Noah.
When the housekeeper brought the orange juice, Janet took a sip of her glass and aimed at Irene, who was still a little stunned. After waiting for a moment, she said, "in fact, Irene, if you want, you can give the baby to me when you are born, and then you can leave the little bastard and live your own life again."
As a mother, it's hard to avoid being particularly sensitive to some things.
Irene immediately looked at Janet warily: "Simon promised, we And signed an agreement. You don't want to take my baby. "
Janet curled her lips slightly: "take it easy, Irene. It's just one of my suggestions. It's actually a good choice for you and your children."
Irene is still like a cat with fried hair: "don't even think about it."
Janet shrugged: "OK, OK, I take back what I just said. And, in fact, it's not what you think. Even if you don't plan to raise the little guy yourself, I won't let him enter the domay point manor again. There are enough little annoying people around. I will let Simon's other women raise the child. "
Janet's irresponsible words relieved Irene a little.
However, Janet quickly said: "but, Irene, you have to understand, think carefully, after the birth of this child, you plan to raise yourself, then you are completely bound with the Westeros family. Although the little bastard always doesn't care about his appearance, and the women around him seem to be able to leave at any time when they want to leave, in fact, how can a man have no possessiveness, What's more, she is the mother of her own children, so it will be very troublesome if you want to return to normal life and find another man to marry
After a moment's pause, Elin whispered, "anyhow, Noah is mine."
"Of course, even if you don't plan to raise the child yourself, neither Simon nor I will deny that the baby belongs to you, and it will never hinder you from visiting the child."
Irene was on the alert again: "what do you want to do?"
Janet blinked her eyes and looked innocent: "it's very simple. Instead of fighting in the future, it's better to make a decision now and leave him completely. In a Chinese idiom, it's better to call long-term pain than short-term pain."
Irene finally understood, staring at Janet, and suddenly found a breakthrough point: "since you say he's a jerk, why don't you leave him?"
"I'm his wife, with a certificate."
When Ellington was depressed, she immediately said, "if you get divorced, it's not."
Janet looked incredible: "don't you think Simon and I are made for each other? It's impossible to divorce."
“……”
Irene felt like she was going to be surrounded again, as if something was wrong.
A little combing, barely grasp the key, the thing is very simple, in front of this woman, seems not to care about the appearance, but in the final analysis, or want to leave the asshole.
That's right.
If I stand in the position of Janet westero, I think so.
Realizing this, Irene regained her enthusiasm and said to Janet, "Jennie, anyway, I won't leave Simon. At least I won't leave him because of your persuasion. And if you really care about other women around him, why don't you think about getting rid of Jennifer Leibold first? You don't have to aim at meJennifer gave Irene a white look and said, "I've driven Jennie away. Will you help me with the baby?"
Irene felt a little confused: "you Accepting Jennifer just to help you with your kids? "
"Otherwise, I don't have time to deal with five little annoyances."
All right.
Irene confirmed again that this one in front of her, and some guy, are really the same kind of people.
I have a hard life.
My poor little Noah.
Janet seemed to see through Irene's mind, nodded her head and egged on, "so long-term pain is not as good as short-term pain."
"I'm not going to let you do it."
Irene subconsciously counterattacks, and then grabs her bag. She doesn't think it's necessary to talk to Janet any more and plans to get up and leave.
It turned out to be stopped by Janet.
The real hostess's painting style suddenly changed, and the topic also turned directly. She picked up a document Irene was reading before she came and talked about the stem cell research project of a biological laboratory affiliated to New York University that the Westeros family foundation did not know was the number one sub fund. It happened that Irene lived in Manhattan for a long time, so it was better to take charge of the first one in person This will inject US $50 million into the operation of the sub fund.
And this project is also closely related to the little guy in Irene's stomach.
When a child is born, the laboratory will be responsible for lifting stem cells from the baby's umbilical cord for cryopreservation, so as to meet the possible health needs in the future.
Irene was Janet with ideas, vaguely agreed to follow the topic down.
Outside the living room, Jennifer, who came quietly to say hello to Irene, just heard a conversation between the two girls and felt helpless.
I'm not good at meeting people.
One of them has a strong attraction that can even make women have Stockholm syndrome. The other one doesn't like to use his brain, but he can drag people into the trap he wants unconsciously.
Talking about the poor girl in the room, I must feel that Janet is trying to drive her away, so I fell in love with some guy's little woman. With Janet's words, I became more rebellious.
You want me to leave, but I won't.
This is exactly what Janet wants.
Because Jennifer knows very well that Janet really doesn't mind Simon's shuttling through the flowers. On the contrary, Janet has some strange little pride in her man's ability to attract women, so she just "helped" a poor girl to consolidate her determination.
Then we talked about the family fund, which is today's topic.
If Irene is smart enough and sober enough, she should find a clue from Janet's discussion of family funds. After all, if Janet really wanted to drive her out of Simon, why would she want to run a Westeros charity fund?
What's more, it is a very important fund.
You know, in recent years, the support of the Westeros family charitable foundation for the field of life sciences has been followed up by Janet. The research on stem cells, which are expected to reverse aging, can be said to be a very important direction. The stem cell research team of the biological laboratory of New York University funded by this plan is just a number of projects that Janet has already bet on One of the top research teams.
Poor girl.
Before she knew it, she was once again arrested by Janet, who likes to work hard for the superior, and after that, she would probably be very happy to be able to further integrate into the Westeros family, so it is inevitable that there is another layer of potential binding.
On the other hand, Simon arrives in Manhattan and sees off eve before he starts his day's work.
There are many things to focus on today.
The first is the official listing of instagram.
Simon didn't go to the Nasdaq stock exchange for the listing platform of this image sharing website. Instead, he sent girl a in the past. After all, she is also one of the founding shareholders of instagram. Today, girls a, B, C and D will get together again, as well as waist elite and leg elite. In addition, she invited a large number of celebrities to join instagram.
Even without Simon's support, the listing is absolutely starry.
From its launch in July 1994 to its launch in December 1996, instagram, the largest image sharing website on the Internet, has been in operation for two years and four months. With the support of westero system, instagram now has 160 million users worldwide, and is one of the largest users in a single service on the Internet at this stage.
Meanwhile, in the third quarter of 1996 before the IPO, instagram's single quarter revenue also reached $27 million, and its annual revenue is expected to exceed $100 million. Of course, this performance can't be compared with that of igritt, but instagram can do this when most other Internet projects are still "storytelling".
After several evaluations and trade-offs, instagram's final IPO valuation is about $6 billion.Under the most turbulent situation of the current Internet boom, the huge number of 160 million users is valued at only US $6 billion. Even if it is three times higher than the US $2 billion raised in the latest round of financing last year, it is still very seriously underestimated in the eyes of many people.
Of course, there are some considerations.
The undervaluation of the issue price means that the market reaction on the first day of instagram's listing will be very hot, even if the share price of a single day is directly doubled compared with the issue price. In this way, many investors have begun to shrink the conservative new technology sector, pouring in a roll of hot oil.
The end result will be like a dose of adrenaline, re stimulating the NASDAQ index to rise again.
's goal is to further delay the collapse of the new technology bubble, and to ensure that other financing operations in the vistor system can be carried out smoothly, such as the last 5 billion dollar long term bonds coming from the DIS, which will be released in mid December, and China Telecom IPO, which is spare no effort in the vistle system.
