In the western suburb of the city, in the rich west area, the manor where urijana meletskova is located.
It's January 27, and it's the beginning of a new week.
In the dim morning bedroom, urijana lay on her side, looking at the two attendants she had brought from Ukraine, Kajia and Irina, dressed in light robes and serving men, whispered: "if you don't like Anna and Nick, I'll send them back to Ukraine."
"You're the only one left in Boston, OK?"
"I..." Ulyanna paused and said softly, "it's OK with me."
In fact, she didn't like the two oil bottles around her. She almost blurted out just now. Fortunately, she stopped in time.
Simon looked at the woman who was pregnant for five months in the big bed, but no matter her figure or temperament, she became more and more angry. Taking advantage of the two women around her, she took the opportunity to sit down by the bed, explored her hand, and said faintly: "let them stay, or accompany you."
Urijana moved her body to let the man follow her and nodded: "I'll listen to you."
Despite the excitement, Simon left the bedroom after putting on the shoes and telling the woman to sleep a little longer.
When the man left, urijana said to the two attendants, "help me prepare hot water. I want to take a bath."
Kaja saponova, a standard Slavic girl with blonde face and blue eyes, whispered, "lady, won't you sleep any more?"
"When Simon's gone, I can sleep all day."
Urijana said and raised her hand slightly. As a female guard, Irina dachenskaya quickly stepped forward and helped the woman up carefully.
After her pregnancy became more and more obvious, urijana asked her two attendants brought from Ukraine to sleep in the master bedroom with her, of course, the small bed set beside her, and help her turn over at any time at night. Last night, the man stayed here, but urijana didn't let them avoid it. Instead, she took the initiative to pull the two women who were of the best appearance and figure into the big bed to please someone.
It looks good.
Of course, in order to avoid the other thoughts of the two girls around, after something happened last night, urijana drove them to the small bed in the corner of the bedroom, and spared no effort in the morning. Born in a noble family, she knows that these seemingly unimportant means are actually very effective, because people always adapt to their own position unconsciously.
Simon doesn't pay much attention to the women around him. After morning exercise, she just sat down in the restaurant. A girl sent him a fresh stack of information.
For several months, the new technology bears, led by the Tiger Fund and the Mellon family, finally launched today.
The first is the article that Simon intercepted years ago: "amazing plot? Ponzi scheme of Internet industry! 》Compared with the original version, this article has been supplemented many times in a few months. Both the logic and the data are more detailed and meticulous. At first glance, it seems quite convincing.
If there is no preparation in advance, it is difficult to say whether it will impact the new technology market.
"According to the current feedback, there are 17 local newspapers on the East and west coasts carrying this article today? However, the New York Times, the Boston Globe, the Los Angeles Times and other large newspapers are not involved? Mainly local newspapers such as Pittsburgh Tribune controlled by Richard Mellon Schiff. In addition, some news websites and famous bloggers will also publish this article, not including the most influential portals. "
A girl said? Seeing her boss looking at the list of newspapers that are expected to publish an article, her slender fingers indicated to the two families that were circled in red in advance: "these two families belong to the Hurst family, and Skye has something to do with hurst. He hopes that the Hurst family will publish this article in the San Francisco Chronicle? Does that agree? But it still provides two local newspaper platforms. "
Simon just nodded slightly? Continued to look at the following information? Asked: "where are we?"
"Below, igritte has put on the front page, with the title of" the coachman trying to tear down the railway "? This is the general direction, mainly attacking the conservative forces to try to contain the new technology industry. In addition, there will be some more targeted counterattack articles to refute the Ponzi scam argument in skev's full text."
Simon listened and looked through the various manuscripts compiled by girl a.
Alison waited for a moment and asked, "boss, in fact, it should be more direct to release the evidence of skeev's behind the scenes manipulation. Why not do it?"
Simon asked back, "how much is Schiff losing now?"
"More than $150 million," Alison said. "In addition to Schiff's $300 million principal, the other branches of the Mellon family have at least bet another $300 million. After this time, although it is far from reaching the root, the Mellon family's control over Alcoa and other companies will certainly weaken. In addition, Skye himself suffered the most, and he provoked this dispute, which will definitely be marginalized by the Mellon family. ""It's only half of the loss. Now, if the inside story is exposed, it is likely to prompt Skye to make up his mind to clear his position. I don't want him to run away."
Girl a understood and nodded approvingly.
Simon then said, "sort out a blacklist. All the newspapers that published that article today and the advertisements that we can influence will be removed."
Alison quickly wrote it down on her memo.
"In addition, no matter what the impact of this article is, it's just the beginning. We can't just passively accept the call. Let the Weijia public relations team in charge of Kingsley and several companies like igritte all act up and finally push the NASDAQ one more level."
Simon was discussing with Alison when the footsteps came.
Looking up, Anna meletskova and Nicholas meletskov, two of urijana's children, enter the restaurant together. Simon looks at them and the two brothers and sisters who have already reached the table stop. Anna, her sister, takes the initiative to say, "good morning, Mr. westero."
The younger brother Nicholas, who is aiming at Simon's information with a curious look on his face, immediately follows him.
Simon can't see eye to eye with the two little guys. He can't help frowning and waving his hand: "you go to the next restaurant. I'm going to talk about something here."
Sister and brother are quite sensitive to Simon's emotional changes. Seeing him say so, sister Anna also coquettishly shrinks her neck, makes a embarrassed expression, and pulls her brother out.
When the brothers and sisters left, Simon went through the information in his hand and didn't continue. Today is just the beginning, and it depends on the follow-up, so he asked, "how about Sundance?"
The 13th Film Festival, which lasted 11 days, ended yesterday.
"The jury award went to the film called Sunday, directed by Jonathan nosett. On our side, only "two big smokers" won an Audience Award
The result was expected. Simon was not surprised and didn't have any dissatisfaction. He just said, "the ghost record I wrote at the weekend planned to transfer the information to Lin Yibin and let him prepare first. I'll have a face-to-face chat when I have time. Well, there's a copy from C. After all, it can promote IREC, at least let her sponsor a batch of the latest digital cameras to shoot. "
When he was in Sundance a few days ago, Simon had the idea of starting the type of fake documentary. After careful consideration, he chose the ghost record in his memory.
As for "the witch Blair", which was the pioneer of pseudo documentary, Simon temporarily suppressed it.
The main reason for the success of "the witch Blair" lies in the fact that apart from Internet virus marketing, it is deception to a large extent. The public who do not know the truth really think that a witch murder has happened, and then attract the audience.
If it's a small publisher who used to do this project, it's OK to take this method. But if it's Denise entertainment, the same method will probably lead to class action because of this deception. Simon doesn't want to get into this kind of trouble.
Even after the success of the former "the witch Blair", it was nearly ten years before another "ghost record" was sold. The key is that "the witch Blair" is equivalent to a film, which not only creates a false documentary precedent, but also seriously damages the audience's enthusiasm for this type of film.
In contrast, "ghost record" is really a kind of creation in the film type.
This can be seen from the subsequent business performance of the two series.
The first film of "the witch Blair" sold for nearly 250 million US dollars worldwide. The cost of the sequel released the next year increased from 60000 US dollars to 15 million US dollars. As a result, there was no splash at all. The two young directors of the two series were also short-lived, and then no influential works appeared.
If you look at the ghost record, after the world box office of the first song was close to 200 million US dollars, and the success, five or six sequels were launched successively for many years, with the cost of no more than 10 million US dollars, but they were sold well, almost as a golden egg hen of paramount. This is what Simon thinks is a brand-new type and a big selling series should look like.
However, although the ghost record is selected, the idea of the follow-up "the witch Blair" can also be used. But this time, deception can no longer be used for publicity. As long as the ghost record opens up the situation and sets up the film type of "pseudo documentary", the witch Blair can do better seriously, and with proper local publicity, it can still be used Enough to attract a large audience.
As for the director Lin Yibin, although he was later known mainly as the "speed and passion" series, he is also a versatile director who can control all kinds of things.
"Ghost record" is only an experiment after all, from director to actor, Simon intends to use new people. Actors don't say that only new people will not let the audience play in this form of fake documentary. On the one hand, the director is Simon's training for Lin Yibin. On the other hand, Simon can judge the strength and potential of the "new man". On the other hand, the new director is more willing to cherish opportunities, and at the same time, it is cheaper.
Of course, since Simon is the leader himself, he will not only give us the poor budget of $15000.If it's really going to be released, it will cost more than US $15000 to convert a low-quality digital image into 35mm film after shooting with a digital camera. Therefore, Simon has prepared us $300000 from the preparation to the completion of a 35mm film copy that can be shown in cinemas.
Big head is mainly in distribution.
If the effect of the film in the future reaches Simon's expectation, the distribution fee of $3.5 million may not be enough. Of course, as long as the film is successful, Denise entertainment can make more money.
Girl a wrote down the incident and took the initiative to report some other matters: "Chen sent an email. The rose garden villa project in Beijing in China has been finalized. Would you like to see the details, boss?"
"Well, on the plane back."
"In addition, caterpillar officially announced to join in the bidding for Carlyle Group's acquisition of platinum engine company in the UK. Mr. Rubinstein said in his email that this may increase our acquisition cost by 10% to 20%."
"What does David mean?"
"It's suggested that if it exceeds our budget by 15%, we give up the deal."
Simon nodded, "that's it."
"Also, about INDITEX, the Spanish clothing company, after several contacts, INDITEX is very interested in our investment. However, the boss of INDITEX, amancio Ortega, wants to meet you. Also, he wants westero to invest directly instead of managing the company through Apollo."
"You can arrange the time," Simon did not refuse. Thinking of one thing, he asked, "has INDITEX settled on setting up a factory in livny?"
"Agreed. However, the scale of the first phase of the plant will not be too large. The main reason is that INDITEX has expanded rapidly in recent years and is not well funded. In addition, INDITEX also mentioned one thing, hoping that we can increase our investment in Livni aviation industry, because INDITEX's Zara brand launches new products globally by air. "
"Let komorov and them discuss this," Simon said. After thinking about it, he added, "we can strengthen our further control over the basic services in the state of Rovno, such as power, railway, aviation, energy, telecommunications, real estate and so on."
When Simon talked about this, he thought of a Li family town on the other side of the ocean.
For Livni, Simon had such an idea for a long time, and planned to build a city of vistro in Ukraine.
If we want to achieve this, the key is not to control the light industry or service industry that is the focus of development in the Rovno region, but to control the basic needs of all people in a region, such as clothing, food, housing and transportation. To put it bluntly, it is to develop a new rent economy.
If Simon wants to develop Livni, he must introduce other capital to promote it. He only depends on the westrow system. Even if he has enough capital, he can not involve all industries. However, as long as the basic needs of all people in a city are controlled, not only the ordinary residents, but also all kinds of enterprises will eventually become the long-term tenant of Simon.
