In the study.

Simon heard the woman in his arms say so, and he patted her on the waist with a smile and said, "what do you want to do?"

Janet just grabbed Simon by the wrist, bit him a few times, looked up and asked, "little bastard, how are you going to spend the money?"

Simon pointed to some of the other stock trading bills on his desk and said, "don't you see that you've bought $800 million in stock. After leaving the tax, I'm going to change all this money into stocks. "

As Americans often say the mantra: in this country, only taxes and death can not escape.

All of westero's $1.62 billion also means a heartbreaking tax.

According to the tax reform plan just launched by the government last year, the US $1.620 billion in the account of westero company belongs to the profits of the stock index futures exchange and needs to pay 28% capital gains tax. The rest of "Lola Run" revenue can not escape tax.

Roughly speaking, westero will have to pay more than $450 million in taxes at the end of the year. After subtracting Janet's share of the revenue from "Lola Run," Simon finally got only about $1.1 billion.

Janet was surprised at Simon's decision: "it's all in stocks. You're not going to do anything else?"

"Now is a good opportunity to buy the bottom, if you need money in the future, you can sell it at any time," Simon said, and asked, "do you want me to change all your money into stocks?"

"Dad and I have mentioned several times that the family needs money, and I'm going to throw it back to Australia," Janet said, shaking her head and touching Simon's face with a smile. "So, little bastard, I won't have any money. You'll support me in the future."

Simon turned around and gave Janet a kiss on the palm of her hand. He said with a smile, "OK, we'll go to New York tomorrow, and we'll spend the $20 million loan first. What do you want to buy?"

Janet tilted her head and said, "house, don't you want to have your own house in every big city in the world? Let's start in New York. "

"It's my business," Simon said, "and yours?"

"Your business is mine, and mine is you."

"Oh, I can hear it. It's a love story."

"Ha ha, it's dull."

……

"When Harry meets Sally" has been shooting for six weeks and is expected to be finished before Thanksgiving next month.

The turmoil of the North American stock market crash continues, and it is unlikely to calm down in a short time. However, after completing the operation of the stock index futures market, Simon took Janet to New York to check the shooting progress of when Harry meets Sally.

At the same time, death is coming, which was produced by Denise pictures, was officially released on October 23. Although the financial market was bleak, it did not have much impact on the box office of the film.

Simon originally asked for a minimum screen of 1000, but due to several internal auditions of good audience feedback, fox finally gave the film 1350 opening screens.

From October 23 to October 25, the box office of "death is coming" finally reached 12.56 million in the first three days of the weekend, successfully pushing "fatal temptation", which has been the top box office winner of the week since the end of September, to the second place on the list.

The box office of "fatal temptation" was $11.01 million in the first week, and still as high as $10.98 million in the sixth week. In a month and a half, the box office has hardly fallen, and the cumulative box office has reached 69.49 million US dollars. Although the next total box office can not be predicted, but there is absolutely no suspense about breaking 100 million.

Simon knows very well in his heart that the total box office of "here comes death" can't be compared with "fatal temptation". However, the first weekend is 12.56 million US dollars, and the first week of the film is expected to reach about 18 million US dollars.

18 million dollars, enough for fox to recover production costs.

As long as a relatively low decline can be maintained in the future, the total box office of the film in North America can even exceed $60 million. Although North America's total box office of US $60 million can't make it into the top 10 of the annual box office, it's more than enough to make it into the top 15.

According to the original contract, after the box office exceeds $20 million, 10% of the North American box office share and 5% of the video sales share will bring Simon nearly $10 million in revenue in the future.

Although he has made more than $1 billion in the stock index futures market, Simon does not intend to use the money in the short term. The income from film is the main source of money for him to run danielis film in the next few years.

On October 26, the new week came, Simon put forward all the funds in the stock index futures account. Except for the $450 million tax reserve and the $67 million settled to Janet, all the rest went to the stock market.

When the North American stock market is full of grief, more than $1 billion of capital suddenly flows into the technology stock market. It is basically impossible for people not to be aware of it. Many analysts have clearly noticed that these days, the decline of technology stocks is significantly lower than that of other sectors.Even coming out of the panic of the crash, many people have gradually realized that during this period of time, when many people have lost all their money, a "little crocodile" has unknowingly made an amazing amount of wealth from the stock index futures market.

But after the figure of a young man was gradually recognized, things spread faster and faster.

Simon initially chose only one broker from Lehman Brothers, mainly for the purpose of confidentiality. Although all the funds will be put aside, the news will certainly be greater, but as long as the integrity of Lehman Brothers is enough, it will certainly be able to keep secrets for customers.

However, the later development of the matter was beyond Simon's expectation.

As a result, Simon had to turn to several other brokers, and he gradually gave up the intention of absolute confidentiality. In any case, a young man who is less than 20 years old has unknowingly earned more than one billion US dollars from the capital market. It is impossible not to attract the attention of the people who want to do so.

The only thing Simon can do is to make sure that his wealth really falls into his own hands.

Therefore, although there is still more than a month to go before the tax payment date at the end of the year, if all the money is thrown into the stock market, he may be able to make another profit. But just in case, Simon chose to set aside the tax.

October 28.

Wednesday.

Simon's $1.1 billion available funds in his account have all been converted into stocks, and he and Janet have been in New York for five days.

In recent days, in addition to checking the shooting progress of when Harry meets Sally, Simon and Janet are basically just wandering around New York.

Although the release of "death is coming" has once again raised Simon's attention, but "Lola Run" and "Butterfly Effect" have long been out of the archives, and paparazzi are more and more interested in tracking Simon and Janet, they can't get any explosive news at all.

As a result, although Simon's arrival in New York was soon exposed, there were very few paparazzi around him and Janet, and neither of them had much trouble wandering in the street.

In the evening, Simon and Janet spent a day in downtown Manhattan with a real estate agent. They just returned to the Plaza Hotel where they stayed and planned to take a rest before going out for dinner. Unexpectedly, Noah Scott had been waiting in the lobby of the Plaza Hotel.

Despite some surprises, Simon agreed to Noah Scott's treat.

Leave the Plaza Hotel again and go to a nearby restaurant.

After ordering, Noah Scott looked at a couple sitting opposite him. After a while, he asked frankly, "Simon, can you tell me how much money you've made?"

Simon smiles and shakes his head. "Noah, if it was you, would you tell me?"

"No," Noah Scott said with a helpless smile, "but these days, I've always been thinking about this. When I heard you were in New York, I flew back from Chicago on purpose."

Simon shrugged: "if it bothers you, I can only say I'm sorry."

Noah Scott said, "well, tell me something I know, OK? Simon, for example, your operation in September, why? "

Simon asked, "what, why?"

"6000 contracts," Noah Scott said, "why did you only buy 6000 contracts? You know, the shock of the S & P 500 index in September is very fierce, but the overall trend is still downward. You can buy 80% of the positions as usual."

Simon heard Noah Scott's explanation, pause, then said: "if you really want to listen to the truth, I'm afraid."

Noah Scott looked incredulous: "scared?"

Janet looked at it curiously, too.

Simon relaxed quickly and said, "yes, I was afraid."

Noah Scott looked at Simon brightly and said, "but you should make more this month, shouldn't you?"

"Yes, but at that time, I was scared," Simon said. "And, Noah, you followed up, didn't you?"

This time, Noah Scott was silent.

Even if everyone knows this kind of thing, no one will be stupid enough to admit it frankly.

Simon did not wait for Noah Scott's answer, saying: "I felt that Lehman should follow up, and then I thought of more possibilities. For example, if you follow up, if the news spreads further, will there be others to follow up? In the end, the trend of the whole market will definitely be completely unexpected. "

Noah Scott shook his head. "Simon, I don't understand."

Simon hesitated and said, "well, Noah, the stock market crash I predicted was probably in October. You know, in October, the federal government will announce the trade and deficit situation in the third quarter, which may be the last straw to overwhelm the camel, and it is the same. September is the delivery month of stock index futures, which is very turbulent. I can't complete the layout in such a market environment. So I was scared. What you just understood is wrong. I'm not afraid of making too much money. I'm worried that the whole market will change completely out of my expectation because of the follow-up of all of you. For example, if the stock market collapses early in September, there will be no harvest for me in October. "Noah Scott listened to Simon, but he was speechless.

After a moment's silence, Noah Scott relaxed his expression, looked at Simon again and said, "but Simon, I don't know if you've been paying attention to Wall Street lately. I guess you don't want to be exposed, but your story has attracted a lot of attention. "

Simon just plays around with Janet these days, but he doesn't pay much attention to the stock market.

Hearing Noah Scott say so, Simon said, "can you tell me more about it?"

"Technology stocks," Noah Scott said with a smile on his face, "Simon, you've bought a lot of technology stocks, haven't you, a lot of them?"

Now that he has been ordered by Noah Scott, Simon does not hide it. He nods and admits, "that's right."

"Compared with other sectors," Noah Scott said, "in the last week or so, technology stocks have risen by more than 15% from the day of the crash. Now, many people even think that we investment banks are eating in the dark, and they are also following up, intending to make a profit secretly. But that person is actually you. And, if I'm right, you've invested at least $1 billion. "

Simon was silent.

Noah Scott stopped for a moment, and then said again, "moreover, in the stock index futures market, your operation has actually attracted a lot of people's attention."

Simon didn't answer, but Janet couldn't stand it and said, "Noah, what are you trying to say?"

Noah Scott laughed and said, "Jennie, I don't mean anything else. I'm not here to be a lobbyist or something. I just want to tell you what I know. Simon, maybe you should make some preparations in advance. Also, I would like to continue to maintain a good cooperative relationship between us. If we have a chance to cooperate in the future. "

Simon listened to Noah Scott, nodded and said, "of course, we have a chance to work together."

"Speaking up," Noah Scott said with a bigger smile, "last time I also bought some S & P 500 futures secretly. Guess what I made?"

Simon shook his head in disbelief.

Noah Scott put up two fingers: "two million dollars, it's a failure, isn't it?"

Simon laughed, not knowing what to say.

Noah Scott said: "I made $2 million just on one thought of you, so I think I'd better continue to be friends with you."

Simon shook his head in disbelief.

Noah Scott put up two fingers: "two million dollars, it's a failure, isn't it?"

Simon laughed, not knowing what to say.

Noah Scott said: "I made $2 million just on one thought of you, so I think I'd better continue to be friends with you."
