"Simon, the news of Westeros on Tuesday bothers us very much. Goldman Sachs has just bought a lot of technology stocks for itself and its clients in the past two months. I mean, if Westeros wants to reduce its holdings next time, can you contact us directly?"
At the charity reception.
Simon and Sophia socialized together. In the crowd, Henry Paulson, CEO of Goldman Sachs, also mentioned westero's plan to reduce its holdings again and said with a smile, "Henry, you should understand that I'm not trying to cash in."
Henry Paulson grinned bitterly. Of course, he understood that he didn't have any expectation in the trial just now. He said, "in this case, Simon, can you tell us how much money Westeros intends to cash out this time?"
"I can only say that technology stocks will be the most potential growth sector for many years in the future. In the short term, profits will certainly be OK."
It's like saying nothing.
Even after the collapse of the new technology bubble last year, both I Gerrit and Ting Ke Bayer have indeed made many people see the potential of new technology, compared with the Internet that was once at the exploratory stage in 1998.
Henry Paulson knew that Simon's decision to suppress the rapid rise of technology stocks was very difficult to change, so he had to change the topic: "Simon, South Korea, you didn't really attack Daewoo just because of an eavesdropping?"
"Frankly, Henry, I'm a very, very private person."
"Well, then, what shall we do next?"
"The problem in South Korea is far less serious than we think. Each chaebol has a large number of high-quality and almost monopolistic assets. The problem is just how much each chaebol can eat. Of course, it will test some eyesight."
Henry Paulson said: "if I guess correctly, you should have got the two cakes you want most, electronics and entertainment. Oh, maybe you need a telecom, right?"
"Yes, that's what I'm good at."
"But there are still some outside your big net, such as LG, and this time Daewoo, Simon, and Goldman Sachs. A few days ago, they were very cooperative with your action to suppress Daewoo. We should get some rewards, shouldn't we?"
"Goldman Sachs has received a lot of rewards. Henry, since last year, for example, in Hong Kong, you are only paying me a small favor this time. However, what I can say is that the cake in South Korea is so big that I can't eat it alone. You can follow up and eat as much as you can. "
"The question is, you seem to have taken away the most nutritious part?"
"It doesn't matter" the most nutritious. "Henry, I'm just laying out fields that I'm familiar with and can complement some other industries in the westero system. For Wall Street, South Korea's financial industry is the most nutritious part for you. I'm not too competitive with you. "
"South Korea's financial industry is a mess."
"Oh, it's just bad for the Korean government, such as the Korean bank. A lot of bad debts must be borne by the Korean government itself. You don't need to be responsible for anything, you just need to go in and occupy the market. On the contrary, I still need to invest a lot of money. "
"All right, Simon. Another thing, the president's trip to China in June, I've been invited and I'm thinking about it. What about you? "
"I just played with bill in the morning, but Bill didn't invite me to go with him. Maybe he was worried about stealing his limelight."
Henry Paulson laughed and then said, "in fact, Simon, I'd like to go with you to see the power of the westero effect. When do you go to Asia next time, why don't you go with me?"
"Just recently, the peach blossom on the other side of China is about to open. I'm going to enjoy the flowers."
"Can you come with me?"
"Unfortunately, most of them are private trips."
“……”
Sophia, holding Simon's arm, is quietly listening to her man's seemingly nutritious conversation with Henry Paulson. In fact, she has a lot of information. She suddenly notices the commotion in the direction of the hall door, turns to look at it, and then gently pulls Simon next to her with an ambiguous and funny smile.
Without Sophia's warning, the two men had looked together in the direction of the commotion.
Simon knew at a glance that it was the mysterious guest Sophia had just mentioned, Princess Diana.
Ignoring Henry Paulson's ambiguous smile, Simon asked Sophia, "what's the matter with her?"
"The guest list is arranged by the following people. Diana happens to be in New York," Sophia explains with a smile, and gently pulls on rahimon. "Go and say hello?"
Simon shook his head. "No
Henry Paulson also joined in: "Simon, if you don't go, I'll go and say hello to the princess?"
"Do as you please."
Henry Paulson saw Simon say so, but he didn't act. He still stood beside him with a smile and looked at a woman who was surrounded by stars.
Compared with the British side, because of the inferiority complex, Americans prefer to make friends with British nobles. If they are royal families, they are more eager to make friends. In the early years, many rich Americans liked to marry with British nobles in order to improve their blood or style, so that many rich people married their daughters to some poor nobles in England with a large dowry.
At this time, the appearance of Princess Dai's popularity has not changed much.
Simon several people stand here to watch the excitement, the guests at the scene after the initial enthusiasm, probably also remember the scandal of Princess Diana and someone, so unconsciously, the crowd around Princess Diana towards Simon scattered a little, so that a woman soon saw Simon.
The change of expression is wonderful.
First surprised, then angry, and at the same time also with some timidity, finally simply raised his head, like a proud peacock, eyes also obviously swept around Simon's side, but his eyes did not stay on someone, a look like I was ignoring you.
Then, all kinds of social activities.
During this period, a woman was very happy and accepted several men's invitation to dance together, but always regarded Simon as the air, which made the atmosphere of the whole party a little strange.
Finally, even Sophia was curious to see a wayward woman accept a guest's invitation again and ask Simon, "what's the situation between you and her?"
Simon thought for a moment and said seriously, "protect your father and your rebellious daughter."
Sophia was stunned, then began to laugh. She raised her hand and hit Simon gently on the shoulder: "how can you... That's Diana."
"You asked me," Simon said, "I don't think that's a good description."
Sophia's smile continued: "well, look at her dancing with so many men, you... Oh, why don't you care?"
"How to manage normal social interaction?" Simon feigned helplessness: "as long as you don't take the hairy boy home."
"Hehe, what if she really takes the hairy boy home?"
"It seems that you don't pay much attention to gossip. You don't know what is" the anger of westero? "
"I'll watch the gossip myself," Simon said, putting his arm around the woman's soft waist. "We'll go dancing, too."
Sophia walked to the dance floor with Simon and noticed the strange eyes of the guests around him. She had a strange feeling that she had become a third party. When she hugged the man and began to dance, she continued: "how do I feel like a little boy and a little girl are holding each other's breath?"
"All said, it's between father and daughter."
"You are evil."
Sophia finally said, no more words, quietly enjoy the warm feeling of dancing together, when the song is over, still take the initiative to pull Simon to Diana: "let's go to say hello."
Simon doesn't care.
When everyone came out of the dance floor, Simon came near. The middle-aged man who had just danced with Princess Diana nodded slightly to Simon and took the initiative to walk away. There was a woman who was like a woman holding up her wings to fight, staring at Simon with bright eyes.
When he came near, Simon saw that Sophia didn't open his mouth and was waiting to see the excitement. He could only ask himself, "how did you come to America?"
The man's gentle tone made Princess Dai feel stunned and relaxed subconsciously. Then she thought about the changes in her life since last year because of someone. She immediately glared up and said, "if I knew you would show up, I would never accept the invitation."
Simon had no choice but to go straight to the point.
Looking at Sophia beside him, Simon said, "in that case, have a good time."
Say to want to turn around.
Seeing someone just leave, Diana hesitated a little and said, "Simon westero!"
Simon stopped and said, "well?"
Princess Dai still looked at someone with hatred: "you, don't interfere in my life any more."
"Is there any inconvenience?"
"You..."
Besides, it was not inconvenient for Diana to think of the men who had disappeared from her life in the past few months after a little courting. How do you make him talk?
After a little hesitation, Diana finally said fiercely again, "you're an asshole, Simon westero. I'll never give in to you."
Simon nodded seriously: "well, keep it."
Then he walked away with Sophia.
Sophia wanted to turn her head and have a look at it. After all, she held back and walked away with the man. Then she came to his ear again and said in a soft voice with a smile, "I suddenly think it's a bit like it."
"So, I have a headache."
"Oh, you will not."
"What do you say?"
Sophia said to someone: "under the bed, so many people call dad. If you have a headache, it will crack."
Simon couldn't help nodding: "yes."
So he was beaten again.
He continued to socialize at the reception for a while. As he was about to leave, Simon took the initiative to go to the party. During the party, another middle-aged man who intentionally or unintentionally avoided him said, "nice to meet you, Mr. hurst."
In front of us is William Hurst II, who is a nephew of William Hurst III, who is still in exile after those events. However, William II is only seven years older than William III and is the second son of John hurst, the second generation and third bedroom of the Hurst family.
William Hurst II also regretted that Simon westero had found himself. However, it's not easy for the upper class of the federal society to find some circles that have nothing to do with Simon westero. They can only greet him with an embarrassed smile: "Hello, Mr. westero."
Although it was a greeting, the two sides didn't even mean to shake hands.
Simon did not talk nonsense either. He looked at the rich middle-aged man who came down in one continuous line with the Hurst family and said directly, "William, I heard that you are trying to deal with me again recently, aren't you?"
That's what Clinton told Simon in the morning.
Simon wanted to take time to give a warning, but since he met him, he didn't mind beating him face to face.
William Hurst II was startled by Simon's sudden remark, and with a little apparent guilt, he waved his hands and said, "Mr. westrow, no, absolutely no such thing."
"I remember we had a very formal agreement," Simon said, ignoring each other's excuses. "But in recent years, you've been trying to do all kinds of small moves. I just don't want to pay attention to them. Maybe, this gives you some illusions, illusions that shouldn't appear?"
William Hurst II began to sweat, almost swearing: "Simon, I promise, there is absolutely no such thing."
"I don't like to hear people quibble," Simon stared at each other. "Speaking of it, where is the other William now? It's like an island country in the Mediterranean. Oh, it's not comfortable to stay in the union, is it?"
William Hurst II raised his hand and wiped his forehead. He didn't know how to answer the question.
Thinking of the decline of the once famous Hurst family after 1994, and even the present tottering, if there is no resentment in the heart, it is impossible. However, in addition to the resentment, it was more about the fear of the young man.
today we are no longer as we have been.
Now, the Hurst family is barely supporting a rich family. The total wealth of the whole family is less than $1 billion. Moreover, with the continuous decline of traditional paper media, it continues to decrease. Compared with the young people in front of us, only the most intuitive personal wealth has opened up the Hurst family by more than 1000 times.
Capitalists are always more aware of the power of capital than ordinary people.
The capital gap of 1000 times means that Simon westero's little finger move now is enough to wipe out the dust of the Hurst family.
Simon, seeing that William Hurst II was speechless, didn't bother to say more. What he just said was enough to make him live a few years. As he was about to turn around and leave, he thought of another thing: "by the way, Lydia is a big girl now. If I remember correctly, it was a gift from you, And Patty, well, she doesn't want it. In a word, it's a punishment for you to do little things carelessly. "
William Hurst II puffed his lips and felt that someone was really deceiving others. He wanted to burst out a series of dirty words in his heart and then walked away.
Unfortunately... I dare to think about it.
Seeing that westero was still staring at himself for only two seconds, he nodded subconsciously: "yes, Mr. westero."
