Simon said, "if it's just the two of us, you need to call home first and get them ready for the ransom."
Janet grinned, took back her little feet and said, "this is the north. The Mafia should be more active in southern Italy."
"That's just relative," Simon said. "In fact, it's the same in Milan. Take the fashion circle for example, models who seek development in Milan may be able to escape the income tax of the Italian government, but they can't escape the" Mafia tax "they need to pay."
"In this case, we'll take Neil and them. If something happens, we can have a gun fight. Neil and Ken are very good at shooting."
Italy can't help but ban guns, and Australia hasn't banned guns. If you think about it, most western countries have not banned guns in this era.
Simon hasn't paid much attention to the resumes of Neil Bennett and Ken Dixon, two veteran bodyguards of the Johnston family, but he doesn't doubt Janet's statement.
It's just that.
There was a gunfight.
For the sake of heart, it's better not to experience such exciting things.
Simon hasn't met any real personal threat so far, but he doesn't want to pay attention to his own safety just like the kidnapping case of Heineken president a few years ago.
"Forget it, call Sophie later and see if there is any fun and safe place to go in Milan at night."
Jeanette, without waiting, got up and ran to make a phone call.
As Janet leaves, Simon is about to continue to read the newspaper in her hand, and Jennifer comes over from the villa with a folder in her hand.
After greeting the passing Jennifer and nodding to Natasha Kinski, who is languid in her swimsuit on the other side of the deck chair, she sat down on the edge of the chair and said to Simon, "do you want to see the information about GSM technology now?"
Simon sat up, took the folder from his female assistant, opened it, and asked, "how's Nokia doing?"
"The details are still being collected, and the general situation is clear," said Jennifer. "Nokia is a diversified enterprise giant with a very long history in Finland, which has been involved in many fields, including papermaking, rubber, home appliances, telecommunications, mobile phones and so on. In recent years, as the economic situation of Finland's largest trading partner, the Soviet Union, has continued to deteriorate, Nokia has also been in trouble. Cary kalamo, Nokia's CEO, shot himself last year because he couldn't bear the pressure of business operation. New CEO Seymour frilato has been refining Nokia's business since the beginning of this year, with the telecom and mobile phone divisions on sale. It's not difficult for us to get these two businesses. However, Simon, the situation in Eastern Europe is very unstable, and even war may break out. It is not a rational choice to acquire a Finnish company directly bordering on the Soviet Union. "
Simon looked down at the GSM technical information in his hand and asked with some examination questions: "if you put aside the political factors, what do you think of my buying the telecom and mobile phone of this company?"
"It's not the best, but it's a good choice," she said. Most European countries still hold the telecom industry in the hands of state-owned enterprises, because the telecom equipment adopts the government designated procurement mode, which inhibits the enthusiasm of enterprise research and development, and largely limits the technological development of the telecom field in these countries. The telecom giants in North America have long been deeply rooted, and it is very difficult to enter the market. Even in Australia, there is only one state-owned telecommunications company. In contrast, countries like Sweden and Finland in northern Europe have long liberalized the telecommunications sector to private enterprises and adopted a market-oriented free competition mechanism without restricting the participation of overseas capital. At the same time, although Finland's market scale is very small, we can develop the whole European market on this basis. "
Simon nodded with satisfaction and said, "in this case, please send your father a copy of the information and let him organize the team to contact Nokia as soon as possible."
Jennifer agreed and said, "besides, according to the news from Los Angeles, Bertelsmann Music Group has taken over the operation of allista records. They are willing to accept our terms of financial audit and compensation, but they hope to resume the sale of bodyguard original records first."
Simon vetoed: "since we have publicly stated that we will not resume the sale of records until this matter is solved, there is no reason to change it."
Seeing that Simon didn't let go, she didn't persuade him. She got up and went to the villa again.
When the female assistant leaves, Simon continues to look through the information in his hand.
GSM is the abbreviation of "global system for mobile communications". As early as 1983, European countries had set up technical teams to formulate the technical standards of GSM, but they have not implemented them in recent years. Obviously, the state-owned monopoly in the telecommunications industry is behind them.
In my memory, Nokia is able to rise just because it has taken the lead in GSM technology and launched the GSM standard digital signal mobile phone. Finland is also the first country in the world to establish the GSM network.
Now, even North America is still using the first generation of analog signal communication. Simon can seize more opportunities with his own capital and advantages, so as to share more benefits in the next mobile communication tide.Unconsciously read more than ten pages of documents, Janet has not come back.
It's already sunset.
Cool winds blow from the Alps in the north.
Simon put the information aside, got up and stretched out, noticed that Natasha Kinsky was still lying lazily beside him, and went over and looked down with some worry.
After relying on Simon, she is enjoying the luxury house as a servant without financial pressure. This woman really has a tendency to live as a cat.
Noticing Simon's condescending look at herself, Natasha Kinski raised her eyelids, but only gave a slight hum, as if to ask if Simon had something to do with him. Don't block her from enjoying the last sunset.
Simon and the woman look at each other, said with a smile: "you unconsciously listen to so many business secrets, I suddenly thought, do you want to shut up?"
Natasha Kinsky gave Simon a disdainful look and turned away.
Simon saw that the woman didn't care about herself. He bent down and reached for her and picked her up.
Natasha Kinsky did not panic after the sudden attack. Instead, she twisted her body and seemed to be looking for a more comfortable posture.
Simon took the woman to the edge of the pool and gently threw her into the water.
There was a plop in the courtyard.
And then there was no movement.
Simon, who had just wanted to make a joke, looked at the woman who was still at the bottom of the pool, still looking at her with wide eyes, helpless.
A string of bubbles came out.
Two strings of bubbles came out.
Three strings of bubbles came out.
After more than a minute, the woman obviously began to drink water, still staring at Simon at the bottom of the pool, with no intention of getting up.
Simon wanted to see how long Natasha Kinsky could last, but suddenly he remembered the woman's strong tendency of self destruction.
If left alone, she could drown herself in the pool.
Thinking of this, Simon didn't have time to take off his clothes, put on his shirt and trousers, jumped into the water, reached out and fished out the woman and put it by the pool.
Holding on to the edge of the pool and leaving the pool, Natasha Kinsky's eyes were closed, and there was no movement at all. Simon, who was really scared, quickly bent over her and pressed her on her knee.
Spitting out a few salivas, Natasha Kinsky reopened her eyes, feeling that the man was still exerting himself, and grabbing him discontentedly in his leg in protest.
Simon is more angry.
I'm not so scared of my own life.
Seeing that the woman recovered and still had the strength to grasp herself, she raised her hand and took a few hard strokes on her buttocks.
With a few clicks, Natasha Kinsky snorted and softened, then was left on the side chair.
Eat painful to change a posture to lie on one's side, notice Simon is still a frightened after the expression of rage, the woman's eyes with pride, eat to eat to laugh.
Simon was still a little scared. He took off his strength and sat down on the side chair, wiped the water stains on his face, took off his wet shirt and left it aside. Seeing the woman smiling heartlessly, he said, "I can't support you, you can go."
"No," Natasha Kinsky said, shaking her head. "You can throw me out."
Simon imagined the woman lying in front of her house with her eyes wide open. Completely out of temper, she picked up her shirt and went to the villa.
Natasha Kinsky was wearing only a swimsuit, but he was wet and had to change it.
Entering the living room, Janet is leaning on the sofa, holding a cordless phone and talking to the opposite party. When she sees Simon coming in wet, she is surprised for a moment. Then she gives him a bad look and nods up the stairs.
Simon went to the bedroom upstairs, took a shower and was getting dressed when Janet came in and said with a smile, "what happened just now?"
"It's in the water," Simon said perfunctorily, changing the subject. "Talking to Sophia for so long?"
Janet didn't get to the bottom of it either. She went up to help Simon tidy his shirt collar and said, "David called to ask if we want to go to England this time."
Simon remembered that it was David Johnston, Janet's fourth brother.
In April, he finished shooting Batman. Before he left Melbourne, Simon met David Johnston to visit his family and brought a girlfriend who was not recognized by Raymond Johnston. Just think about David Johnston's nerd spirit, calling to say hello to Jennie, and maybe inviting them to England is not very reliable.
Janet straightened Simon's collar and said with a smile, "do you think so?"
"His girlfriend?"
"Yes, Leslie Whitaker. The old man didn't like her and thought too much of her. But I think it's OK. David is so stupid. It's just good to find a shrewd wife. "
"We probably don't have time to go to England this time."
Cersei capital's layout in the US bond market is drawing to a close. This is the end of the business, and it will return to New York."That's what I told him. I can't go this time." Janet said, finding that Simon had not yet put on his shoes, she went to the shoe cabinet, picked out a pair of shoes, handed them over and said, "put on your shoes, and I'll go and change my clothes, too. We'll have dinner later. Sophia will wait for us in the city. We can go to some interesting clubs in the evening
