In July, Simon was a babysitter all over the place.
On July 7, on this side of domay point estate, the second child of the female assistant, Jennifer, was born. The boy was named James westero. On July 11, Maria bezruk of Boston was born with a boy named Daniel westero. Then, on July 15, grace Clapp of New York was born as a boy, named John westero.
Then, Irene Lauder's delivery date was just around the corner. Only Lin Su's expected delivery date was a little further away, in September.
Simon's biggest feeling about this is still the same as when he first knew the sex of the fetus.
It's all boys.
They're all kids. There's no cotton padded jacket.

Long Island, a manor near the sea southwest of Southampton.
It's July 16.
Wednesday.
When Bryce Levison, who was originally in Florida, heard the news, she flew to Long Island and arrived at the manor. When she entered the manor, she asked a waitress, "where are you?"
The maid made a gesture of invitation and led Bryce to the door of a suite on the east side of the manor villa. However, she was stopped by Carmen case, who was guarding the outside of the suite: "Ms. Levison, the boss and Ms. Clapp are resting."
"It's morning. What's the rest?"
Said Bryce, aiming at the side door, and taking advantage of Carmen's inattention, she ran straight to the door and broke in.
Then I saw a man who seemed to have just sat up from the bed, and grace, whose face was slightly red, was pulling down her skirt.
On the crib next to them, a little one was sleeping soundly.
Glancing coldly at Bryce, Simon turned to grace and said, "you have a good rest. I'll go to work first. Call me if I have something to do."
Grace nodded and watched the man leave. Then she glared. Bryce: "don't you know how to knock on the door?"
Bryce was just photographed by some guy's cold eyes. When the man left, she regained her mind. Simon wasn't there, and she immediately got up again. As she walked to the crib and looked at a little bit, she said, "you just had a baby. Can't wait?"
Grace's face just retreated a little more red, and said, "what do you say?"
The baby was born at more than five o'clock in the morning yesterday. Her skin was completely unfolded, pink and tender. Bryce liked it, but she didn't pick it up. After a while, she came to the bedside and sat down. She was about to open her mouth and suddenly sniffed. She suddenly understood what someone was doing before she came in. She looked at Grace's chest, as if she had caught something Handle the same proud smile, but also with the language of ridicule: "really a hateful guy."
When grace saw Bryce react, she just pulled the blanket on her body, changed a more comfortable posture and tilted it on the bed. She told her, "take care of your mouth. He'll get angry. He'll probably want to beat you just now."
But Bryce kept saying, "when I was young, I lacked love. When I grew up, I was an Oedipus. Tut Tut, a pervert. No wonder I always like older women."
Grace raised her hand and hit her: "if you say that again, I'll be angry."
"Well, well, I won't say." Bryce also felt that there was something wrong with what she had just said. Knowing that she was going to be beaten, she raised her hand and surrendered. Then she said, "what's he going to do with you?"
"What, how?"
"Now the baby is born. By the way, what's his name?"
"John."
"There's no personality at all."
Grace tilted her lips slightly: "John westero."
Bryce gave grace a sour look and said, "well, I mean, didn't he say anything else, at least give you a lot of alimony?"
Grace looked softly at the tiny spot on the crib beside her: "this is the best thing he gave me. I don't want anything else."
"Well, you are a fool."
"You're smart, so he won't let you have his baby."
"He wants to, but I don't want to. How painful it is to have a baby," Bryce said suddenly, hiding her strange taste in her heart. "What's more, if I Well, what do you want Rita to do with my mike in the future
Grace just smiles.
The relationship between the two families' children has always been very stable. No accident. They are likely to be together in the future.
However, these are not the things grace is most concerned about, even if it is next to the little bit, in her heart, still behind him, what he wants to do, she will support.
Bryce saw some hopeless expression on Grace's face again. She reached over and said, "I really want to wake you up."
Probably disturbed by the voice of the two people's conversation, the little girl in the crib moved, then opened her eyes, looked around, and cried.Grace quickly got up, held the child in her arms, and lifted her skirt again.
The crying soon stopped.
"I'm afraid it's not enough to eat, one big and one small," Bryce said as she sat looking around
Grace just glanced at her.
In fact, in private, people have begun to look for lactating mothers and plan to feed their children together. As for milk powder, she certainly does not feed it. It is best for children to have breast milk.
As for himself, as long as he wants to, he must be the first one.
Even think to find the nurse must be more beautiful, spend more money is no problem.
Next to her was Bryce, who could not help but look at her face.
In a study on the upper floor of the villa, Simon sat down at his desk. Girl a soon sent a pile of documents and a video conference that had been reserved in advance.
About Nokia.
In addition to discussing the latest quarterly financial report of Nokia which will be released in the near future, it is mainly another matter.
"In Southeast Asia, JOMA, you must have paid attention to it recently," Simon said, looking at JOMA Ollila, chairman and CEO of Nokia on the video call screen. "It's related to South Korea. I've seen Nokia's supply chain information in recent days. Next, I need you to try your best to compress and even break the LCD and semiconductor chips of Samsung and other manufacturers in South Korea Parts procurement. "
Yoma Ollila, who is far away from Helsinki, was somewhat surprised: "Simon, I did pay attention to Southeast Asia recently. The devaluation of currencies in Southeast Asian countries will bring great benefits to our parts procurement. However, you also know that Nokia spent a few years on the parts procurement system because of the supply chain collapse crisis that Nokia experienced in the past few years due to its rapid growth I don't understand why I have to do that. "
"Very simply, I plan to take this opportunity to expand to LCD, semiconductor and other low-level areas. The layout target is in Asia. Japan was the first choice, but the country is too large to be affected seriously by the crisis. Therefore, I chose South Korea, which has also developed rapidly in related industries in recent years. Nokia needs to cooperate with my overall strategy to put extreme pressure on Korean manufacturers. "
"I see," yoma Ollila nodded, thought about it and said, "but Simon, I don't think it's necessary. LCD and semiconductor are cyclical industries with high technical barriers, fierce competition and huge investment. I don't think it's a wise choice for westero system to enter these fields."
"My opinion is the same as yours," Simon said patiently. "But, knowing that it's difficult and risky, the Westeros have no choice. According to my recent judgment based on some data, after this crisis, whether in North America, Europe or Asia, there will be another wave of large-scale integration in the electronics industry. After the survival of the fittest and the jungle, LCD, semiconductor and other fields will increasingly concentrate on a few large manufacturers. Whether it is to ensure the safety of our own supply chain or for the sake of interests, we must take the initiative. Yoma, I'm not explaining to you that I'm discussing with you. It's an order. I need Nokia to come up with a reduction plan for me within a week. "
Yoma Ollila felt her boss's undoubted gaze through the screen. Finally, she hesitated, nodded her head and asked, "dinkbail will also cooperate with this plan, right?"
"Of course, it's not just Tinkerbell, it's Cisco. In addition, at the critical moment, I will lobby IBM and other PC manufacturers to join us. "
When yoma Ollila heard this, he began to mourn for the Korean manufacturers and said, "another question, Simon, how long does this plan need to be implemented?"
"One year at the fastest, no more than two years at the longest."
In my memory, other countries do not say that South Korea only took two or three years to get out of the crisis. Therefore, this operation must be completed within two years.
Yoma Ollila nodded again, and finally said, "Simon, we, I mean, including Tinkerbell and Cisco, have a huge amount of spare parts procurement. If we cut down the procurement of Korean manufacturers, it's hard to say whether Japanese or European and American manufacturers will take the opportunity to raise prices."
"That's what you need to consider. However, as you have just said, the next devaluation of Asian currencies will greatly reduce our purchasing costs. You can turn more orders to Japan. Even if Japan won't have too much trouble this time, the devaluation of yen is certain."
"If I remember correctly," JOMA Ollila said slightly, "the United States has been suppressing Japan's electronics industry, especially semiconductors, all these years. If we increase the purchase of Japan together, don't you worry that Japanese manufacturers will take advantage of the situation to rise again?"
"No," Simon was very sure, "Japan's goal of weakening has already been achieved. The country's electronics industry may still be able to maintain its technological advantage for many years, but there is little hope for its revival."
"Simon, I don't understand?"
"My time is very precious. If you are interested, you can study the current economic situation of Japan yourself.""Well," yoma Ollila shrugged, "I'll work out the cuts as soon as possible."
At the end of the video call, Simon looked at the daily bulletin of Southeast Asian financial crisis just sent by girl a, thinking about the discussion.
It's time to prepare for the replacement of the head of Nokia in the future.
Then I thought of another technology company that is also the core of the westero system, Cisco, and its leader, John chambers.
In the next five to 10 years, they will definitely need to be replaced.
This is not to say that Simon is dissatisfied with yoma Ollila's failure to listen to him. In fact, if the senior executives of the subordinate enterprises don't have their own opinions, Simon will feel wrong.
It's mainly a very practical long-term consideration.
They have been in charge of the two companies for a long time. In the early stage, they both made great contributions to the rapid rise of the enterprise, but in the later stage, they inevitably fell into mediocrity.
This is obvious from the development of the two companies.
Nokia, which once flourished around the millennium, collapsed from the mobile phone industry and even completely withdrew. Until Nokia was sold to Microsoft, although it was no longer responsible for specific affairs, yoma Ollila was still the chairman of the company.
The decline of Nokia is closely related to the long-term power of yoma Ollila.
Then there's Cisco.
The most striking contrast is Cisco and Huawei.
When Cisco rose rapidly around the world in the 1990s, Huawei was just a small company in China, and was forced to sell itself by Cisco's patent lawsuit.
Then, Huawei began to rise, not only gaining a firm foothold in the field of network equipment, but also expanding its business to the field of communication base station and later mobile phone manufacturing. Looking at Cisco, many years later, Cisco still keeps its own network equipment business and has made little contribution in other aspects.
As for the reason, the same is the success of chambers, but also the failure of chambers.
John Chambers didn't step down as CEO of Cisco until 2015. He has been in charge of Cisco for 20 years. Although he led the company to the peak, he almost missed all the other technology outlets beyond network equipment manufacturing.
To put it bluntly, these legendary managers, who once established their territory, almost failed to escape the loss of initiative and move towards the end of employment.
It's like countless wise old kings in the early period of history.
Simon didn't forget himself.
In most people's opinion, the scale of the westero system has reached its acme. If Simon is not complacent and slack in his heart, it's a lie.
Simon just didn't know whether he would become another old king in the future.
then he thought of a group of kids who had been born recently.
Tut.
In the future, the asset power struggle of the Westeros will be very lively.
After all, it needs to be planned early.
In fact, many ideas have been brewing in Simon's mind.
As for his children, Simon certainly doesn't want to go to many wealthy families in the future to fight against each other for their property. In fact, it's also a good thing to solve. The owners of the previous generation have planned all the things that should be planned early, and who should be given them. Don't be as stingy as Gary's family broke up in the 1980s They all seized the last moment of their lives, left a large legacy, and let a group of their descendants fight to the end.
After all, Simon is very confident that he can handle these things well.
After reading the daily briefing of Southeast Asian financial crisis in hand, and thinking about the future, Simon picked up another document, which was the resumes of 30 people who had just arrived in the United States for a one-year exchange study.
