Chapter 136: 136

It was supposed to be a very happy Christmas, but one bad news after another.

On the second day after reading the Rain Man script, Simon asked Amy to take down the project as much as possible and explain their reasons. They also discussed some negotiation strategies in advance.

However, plans always fail to keep up with changes.

Simon didn't expect that Tony tomopoulos, chairman of United States, would make a temporary call to his side, so he had to improvise.

Tony tomopoulos can't be a fool if he can be in Hollywood. After the meeting, Amy called the next day, but tomopoulos pushed the negotiation to after Christmas on the basis of the festival and asked Simon to come out in person.

This is how things got stuck.

Then.

Before the release of Robin Williams's famous work Good Morning Vietnam, Amy had already negotiated a contract with the other party for the death poetry club for $2 million.

The average box office of Robin Williams's previous three films was less than $15 million, and Denise pictures' offer of $2 million has been very generous. This kind of male film salary can also control the production cost of "death Poetry Society" within 10 million US dollars.

As a result, the same thing happened.

The two sides agreed to sign the contract on the morning of December 24. When it came to an end, CAA suddenly changed its mind, saying that Robin Williams needed to think about it again and agreed to reply to danielis pictures after the new year.

It's not hard to imagine that once Good Morning Vietnam hits the box office, Robin Williams will immediately be on the front line.

At that time, without five or six million dollars, it will be impossible to sign another party. If Denise pictures insists on using Robin Williams, the overall production budget of the dead poets club will rise to more than $15 million.

Next.

James Leibold went to Chicago a few days before Christmas to discuss with Motorola chairman Robert Galvin about joining the board of directors of the company.

Of the 26 companies held by westero, Motorola has the highest market value.

At the time of Simon's bottom hunting in the stock market crash, Motorola's stock price had plummeted 40% relative to its peak, but its market value still exceeded $5 billion. As a result, the 4.9% Motorola shares absorbed by westero consumed about 250 million US dollars of Simon's capital.

By the end of the day before Christmas, Motorola's share price had risen to $75.50 from its lowest point of $53. Although it has not yet reached the highest record of $87 before the stock market crash, it is not easy for an old Telecom electronics giant with a large market value.

As the largest investment company of westero, Motorola's share price can rise to the current high level, and "westero portfolio" obviously plays an important role in it.

Moreover, after more than half a century of development, Motorola has become a very decentralized public holding company. With 4.9% shareholding, westero has become the fifth largest shareholder of the company and is fully qualified to join the board of directors of Motorola.

During this period, the 26 companies held by westero were basically in a wait-and-see state after receiving the invitation for board seats. Now, if Motorola, an old communication electronics giant, can absorb representatives from westero to join the board of directors, the resistance of other companies will certainly be reduced a lot.

However, James Leibold arrived in Chicago and waited for three days in Schomburg, the suburb of Chicago where Motorola headquarters is located.

It turned out to be a slam dunk.

The meeting had already been arranged. After three days of airing, an employee of Motorola suddenly informed James that Chairman Robert Galvin had taken his family to Florida for a holiday. James could only return in vain.

That doesn't count.

On Christmas day, Motorola gave Simon a "Christmas present.".

Robert Galvin, the chairman of Motorola and the son of Paul Galvin, the founder of the company, issued a statement through the New York Times, saying firmly that "Motorola is an industrial company with a sense of social responsibility and insists on making excellent products. The board of directors of the company will never welcome a speculator to join."

After two months of waiting, the federal investigation agency still has not filed any investigation and accusation against the huge profits made by Westeros in the stock market crash, and the media has already begun to stop.

After westero owned the capital, it began to seek the corresponding power by asking to join the board of directors of each company. On the surface, it didn't make a big stir, but many people are paying close attention to the progress of it.

Now, the traditional capital forces suddenly launch an interrogation against Simon westero, a young latecomer, and the public opinion immediately boils up again.

Although westero company soon issued a rebuttal statement, the media that has been waiting for such a long time will not give up easily. All kinds of inflammatory remarks are pouring in and will have a good Christmas.Manhattan.

This is the second property Janet bought in the penthouse of a building in the middle of Lexington Avenue. It will take half a year to finish the renovation of the apartment on Fifth Avenue on the upper east side. Simon doesn't want to stay in any hotel at all now, so Janet bought the penthouse in front of her.

The 69 story building is a 1950s building, but the interior decoration is quite in line with Simon's modern minimalist style.

The 600 square meter interior space of the duplex apartment is less than one-third of that of the apartment on Fifth Avenue, but it is also spacious enough. The whole apartment has two living rooms, one kitchen, five bedrooms and six bathrooms. It also has a study and a private projection room. The super large master bedroom with an area of more than 100 square meters on the upper floor overlooks most of New York City.

Before the stock market crash, the price of the apartment was $5 million. After the stock market crash, due to full payment, Janet successfully bought it for only $3.5 million. According to Simon's memory, such a duplex apartment will have at least 10 times the appreciation space in the next 30 years.

It's December 26, the second day of Christmas, Saturday.

In the cloakroom, Janet, who has already put on a wine red evening dress, is carefully helping her boyfriend choose her tie. Meanwhile, she asks, "what are you going to do about Motorola?"

Simon buttoned up his suit in front of his dressing mirror and said, "be rational, and then sell the stock bit by bit, so as to maximize the profit. If it's not rational, it will smash the stock market directly and bring Motorola's share price back to the lowest point in the stock market disaster. "

Motorola's current total equity is about 95 million shares, of which 4.7 million are held by Westeros.

According to the stock price of $75.5 on Thursday, the total value of the shares held by westero has exceeded $350 million. If the capital gains tax is not taken into account, Simon will earn $100 million from the appreciation of the shares in more than two months.

Janet chose a light blue striped tie, came over and tied it around Simon's neck herself, and said with a smile, "you want to be irrational once, don't you?"

"Yes, a good Christmas has been tossed like this. If I don't fight back, more people will jump out," Simon nodded, put his arm around Janet's slender waist, rubbed on her smooth silk dress, and said, "what's the meaning of life if you have to endure, weigh, compromise and haggle all the time just to make more money . I intend to enjoy wealth, but I don't want to become a slave of money. "

Janet, with her eyes shining brightly, came over and pecked at the man's lips. She continued to wear her tie and said, "what are you going to do with this cash?"

"There are a lot of things. I want to buy two cartoon companies, Hollywood. Next, I'm going to invest in some technology companies that can promote the development of 3D animation and CG special effects, and set up my own special effects studio," Simon said, smiling at the woman in front of me, and said, "of course, there's also our business, the island in Australia, the big island in Manhattan Ha. By the way, you can buy more apartments in Manhattan. I like the feeling of having a lot of houses, and it doesn't have to be on the top floor. In a word, money can be spent. "

Janet listened to Simon casually say some of the plans he would never easily mention to others. She curved her lips and said, "if you want, it's OK to buy a hundred houses, but you certainly don't like renting, do you? No one lives in the house for a long time, but it will rot, even if the cleaners clean it regularly. I remember when I was a child, my family bought a manor outside London. The castle inside was very beautiful. It's just that England is so far away from Australia that my family doesn't go there very often. Later, the castle became like a haunted house and completely deserted. "

"Of course I don't want to rent, but I'm sure I can find someone to live in."

"Well?"

"Choose some beautiful vases. You know, I don't exclude the opposite sex."

Janet glanced at him and said, "like your ponytail assistant?"

"Jennie is not a vase."

"Well Hum... " With a low voice, Janet stepped back and looked at her tie. She nodded with satisfaction. Then she went to the shoe cabinet and picked up her shoes. She said, "I'm warning you, little bastard. My father loves face and hunting. You'd better be careful when you hang out. Don't be photographed by paparazzi all the time. "

Simon sat down in the next chair and waited for Janet to help him pick out his shoes. He said with a smile, "it's just some vases. I'm not going to do anything."

"I don't believe you," Janet said, picking out a pair of shoes and coming over, saying, "try them on. It's getting late. Wait a minute, let's turn to Madison Avenue and have a look at the buildings. There is no suitable plot beside Fifth Avenue. Only that place has the highest feasibility. As long as we can buy all the six low rise and old apartment buildings between 59th and 60th streets east of Madison Avenue, we will have the space to build the westero building. I have asked people to make an assessment. If we want to take down all the six buildings, including the land, we may have to invest $100 million to $200 million, including the replacement of property rights. I've asked iceberg to register a shell company for us in Australia to buy these lands and properties. You just have to pay for them. "Simon nodded, put on his shoes and said strangely, "you seem to mention iceberg a lot, man?"

Janet rolled her eyes. "Woman."

"Oh, but Asperger is a rare surname."

Janet picked out a pair of high heels for herself, sat down on the chair and said, "what's the last name? An iceberg is an iceberg, because the whole person is always cold, so it's called an iceberg."

Simon immediately came to the interest, said: "ice beauty ah, I like this type of best, beautiful?"

Janet gave Simon a look: "prettier than me."

Although Janet's expression was a little strange, Simon said casually, "take time to introduce me."

Janet nodded, "OK, but if you have any bad ideas, I'll learn to hunt with dad."

Simon made a frightened expression: "so cruel, who is it?"

Janet said, "Veronica Johnston, little bastard, who do you think this is going to be?"

When Simon heard the surname "Johnston", he immediately realized that it was Janet's relative. Realizing that there was something wrong with the joke, he said, "I'm so sorry, baby."

Janet put on her shoes and left the cloakroom with Simon in her arm, explaining, "Veronica is my little aunt, only 10 years older than me. Our family is not as big as the kidmans. After my great grandfather, my grandfather was the only son, and my father was his only son. Later, my grandfather had my little aunt when he was 53 years old. At that time, my elder brother Anthony was already 3 years old. After my little aunt was born, my mother gave birth to four of our children one after another. My grandfather was very happy. He thought my little aunt was the lucky star who made our family prosperous. "

When they came to the entrance of the apartment, Simon handed Janet the windbreaker on the hanger and put on her coat. Listening to her saying this, Simon said with a smile: "this kind of story must have a beginning, right? And then what? "

Janet put her windbreaker on the outside of her dress, gave Simon a white look, and said, "then, many, many years later, Janet Johnston met a little jerk, and the tragedy began. It was miserable. Well, help me with my hair. "

Simon took out Janet's blonde hair from her clothes, saw the woman cut off the topic, did not ask, pretended to be dissatisfied and said, "what a tragedy, it's a fairy tale. The prince and the princess lived happily ever after

Janet didn't know what to catch. She burst out laughing and said, "I always think there's something wrong with that statement."

When they left the apartment, Simon locked the door and asked, "hmm?"

Janet took the key from the man and put it in her bag. She still laughed and said, "look, Prince and princess, this is a problem."

"Princess highness, explain?"

Janet raised her hand and said, "look, Prince and princess, their parents should be king and queen, right?"

Simonton understood Janet's theory and said, "I've decided not to talk to a dirty woman like you for the next minute."

Janet came up, took Simon's arm and said, "honey, don't ignore little Janet."

Simon kept a firm silence and banged his wrist on his watch.

Janet and Simon walked towards the elevator together. Their eyes flashed strangely. Their tone suddenly softened a little. Nuo Nuo said, "Your Highness."

Simon immediately surrendered: "no, baby, I'd better be a groom. Sometimes a groom can run a princess or two. It's more successful."

"Ha ha."
