Simon didn't want to let out the news of his contact with the Hurst family. Instead of arranging the lunch in the high-rise restaurant inside the studio, he chose a lounge in the office building No.1 of the administrative district.
The appointed time for lunch is 12 o'clock.
Patty Hurst and Lydia Hurst arrived early at 11:30. Simon didn't let them wait too long. They arrived five minutes early.
Patty Hurst was clearly dressed up in a long black short sleeve dress that showed her figure. This year, a woman who happens to be 40 years old has lived in a rich family since she was a child. Apart from the incident of that year, she has not experienced any years of life. Her appearance and figure are all about the level of a 30-year-old woman.
In the process of handshake, Patty Hurst felt the aggressive gaze of the man in front of her and looked at herself without any concealment. However, she didn't hate the young man who had crushed her family to the brink of collapse. Instead, she could not help but take a breath while the man was holding his powerful hand. Her heart beat a little faster, and her eyes didn't dare to communicate with each other Look at each other.
When the right hand was released by the man, Patty Hurst even had a sense of loss.
Simon just said hello to Patty Hurst and turned to the little girl next to the woman who started smoking: "Hi, lill, do you remember me?"
In addition to her height, Lydia Hurst still feels like the little witch she first saw at Sophia's daughter Gemma fishy's birthday party, with her petite face, short lips and green eyes.
In front of Simon, Lydia Hurst was not as restrained as her mother. When she saw the man talking to her, she completely ignored her mother's and grandfather's explanation in advance, nodded her head, but suddenly asked with some quality: "Simon, do you want our family to end?"
Simon was surprised to hear the little girl use the word "finished", but he nodded with a smile: "the key is, first of all, your family wants to let me die."
Lydia's mouth shriveled, her short lips began to lengthen, a little bit like a little witch. Looking at Simon's eyes, she made no secret condemnation, like you are a villain and a villain.
Patty Hurst didn't expect that her daughter offended westero just after meeting her. She was stunned for a moment and then responded quickly: "Mr. westero, Diya didn't mean it. Don't mind."
Simon looked at the little girl with a smile: "lil, did you do it on purpose?"
Ignoring her mother's suggestion, the little girl nodded and said, "yes."
Patty Hurst pulled at her daughter angrily and said, "Diya, apologize to Mr. westrow."
Lydia felt her mother's fierce words almost never before, and suddenly showed a strong expression of grievance. She looked like she was crying, but she stubbornly refused to apologize to Simon.
Simon didn't have the same idea as the little girl. He just shrugged, raised his hand and made a gesture of please, saying, "sit down."
Three people sit down at the table, a girl personally pushed a dining car in, will be a few dishes on the table.
Simon noticed Patty Hurst's curiosity when she smelled the smell of food in the air, and explained with a smile, "have Chinese food today."
is an increasing employee benefits. Danny rice studio and Burbank's universal studios have upgraded the restaurant, added different countries' dishes, and specially invited several top chef as chef, chef in Danny Lane studio, which is Simon's invitation to come from across the ocean, so it can make a very authentic Chinese meal.
It's Simon's selfish.
The reason why Simon didn't care much about what he ate for so many years is that, as an oriental, he couldn't fully adapt to the western food system.
Of course, not everyone can enjoy these benefits.
Simon's insistence on originality for employees in the westrow system never changes. I will give you as much as you pay.
Similarly, in the westero system, what kind of position a person is in, what kind of treatment he enjoys. Therefore, ordinary employees still can only enjoy ordinary dishes cooked in batches in the staff restaurant. Moreover, according to different levels, the catering subsidies given by the group are also different. The higher level management can also use a separate high-level restaurant. Furthermore, the core of the group is high Guan can customize his favorite dishes to the chef of the restaurant.
On the other hand, the health care, education and other benefits that will be upgraded in succession in the westero system will also be hierarchical.
Simon won't cover it up too much. He is deliberately creating a kind of layered unfairness. If someone can't stand this unfairness, they either work hard to get up, or leave the westero system to find the fairness they want.
Simon's ultimate goal is to build a pyramid "westerosian" system which is independent of the current social system and has a stable structure.
On the dining table in the lounge.
Very authentic Chinese food, three dishes and one soup, kung pao chicken, a crispy roast duck, a tomato beef, and finally a simple vegetable soup. The soup has been divided into three parts. Girl a finally put down three drawers of Shaomai and quietly quit.Simon waited for girl a to leave and asked the girl with a face: "lil, can you use chopsticks?"
Lydia is very dissatisfied with a guy who calls herself "lil" from time to time. Just after her mother got angry with her, the little girl didn't dare to be presumptuous any more. Seeing the man on the opposite side picking up a pair of chopsticks skillfully, the little girl seemed to be learning from each other, but the two sticks in her hands were not obedient. Noticing that her mother also picked up the chopsticks, Lydia became even more angry, put down her chopsticks and glared at the two adults angrily, intending to go on a hunger strike.
Patty Hurst thought that Simon westrow liked his daughter's aura very much. He simply gave up control and ate his food with a low brow. He didn't know about his daughter's anger.
Simon felt the little girl's cat like gaze, laughed, put down his chopsticks, picked up the knife and fork, and said, "OK, let's use the knife and fork, let your mother use those two strange things."
Lydia picked up her knife and fork, carefully tasted a few portions of the food on the plate, and then said, "it's strange. It's not delicious at all."
Simon seems to be patient: "you can try the roast wheat."
Although the taste is contrary to the previous food, it can't be said that it's not delicious. Just after hearing Simon's suggestion, my sister-in-law instinctively rebelled, deliberately didn't move the drawer to cook wheat, continued to deal with the food in front of her, and occasionally raised her head to make an expression that she didn't like at all to Simon.
Only half an hour later, when the meal was over, the little girl had unconsciously wiped out the food in the plate, and at last she didn't even let go of the three beef and wheat in the drawer.
Simon summoned girl a to come in and clean up the dishes. He said to the little girl who obviously had a little bit of meaning on her face: "if you want to eat Chinese food in the future, you can come to Los Angeles."
Lydia said contemptuously, "Mr. westero, our family is rich and we can afford to eat."
Simon nodded and said casually, "it seems that in order to make lill come to Los Angeles more often in the future, I can only make you unable to afford Chinese food as much as possible."
When Patty Hurst heard the man's words, her heart tightened.
The 10-year-old girl, of course, is not completely ignorant of the world. Seeing Simon say so, she looks up angrily.
Simon had already got up and said, "let's go to my office."
Mother and daughter have to get up and go outside. Simon signals girl a to take care of Lydia for a while. He just takes Patty Hurst into his office.
About twenty minutes later, Patty Hurst came out of the man's office and left with her daughter.
Sitting in the family car directly under the office building, when the car drove out of the studio, Lydia asked her mother abruptly, "Mom, did you sleep with Simon westero?"
Patty Hurst reacted from the trance and glared at her daughter: "who taught you that?"
Lydia turned her lips, but looked up and down at her mother and said, "so, is our family's trouble over?"
Patty hurst, with a slight tremor in her voice, raised her voice and said to her daughter, "don't ask any more of these messy questions, or I'll send you to boarding school."
Lydia shrugged disapprovingly: "if mom can't handle that guy, I may not even be able to pay for boarding school in the future."
Patty Hurst fell silent.
I can't help recalling what happened in the man's office.
When they entered the office, Simon westero just motioned her to sit down, turned to her desk and started working. After waiting patiently for five or six minutes, she had to take the initiative to open her mouth and convey her father's wish for reconciliation. As a result, the man just looked at her with a hateful smile and asked her if she wanted to reconcile with just a few words.
Then, she noticed the man's gaze, remembered the other party's preference for women and her father's stern advice before lunch. She just hesitated a little and went to the man.
It seems.
The heart is not too resistant.
Even vaguely hope that men can be rude.
However, after she had taken the initiative, the man didn't do anything. Instead, he gave her a dollar coin and asked her to hand it over to her father to ask what they could buy with so much money, and said that they had only one chance.
In the end, she just left his office with a coin.
After leaving Malibu and returning to a mansion of the berelhurst family, Patty Hurst gives the coin to Randolph Hurst and tells Simon about it.
What can one dollar buy?
If it's just a literal meaning, the members of the Hester family, who have been famous for hundreds of years, are not very clear.
However, Randolph Hurst was quick to understand Simon westero's intention to let his daughter hand over the dollar.
At this point in the conflict, if the Hurst family wants to reconcile, it's impossible to send a woman. Even if they send a mother and daughter to Simon westrow, they can't easily resolve anything. The only feasibility is to give enough substantial compensation.Simon westero offered a dollar just to make the compensation a deal on the surface.
As for what the Hurst family can offer to compensate Simon westrow, except for the media assets of the Hurst group, there is probably no other thing that can be seen by the other party.
As a result, Randolph Hurst quickly returned to the east coast to gather family members to discuss which assets of the group should be sold to Simon westrow for $1 and what conditions should be exchanged.
Then, inevitably, there was a serious division within the family over the matter.
In view of the extent to which the Hurst group has offended Simon westrow for some time in the past, many members of the Hurst family know that the amount of compensation must not be too much lower than the total amount of US $370 million claimed in the six lawsuits under the control of westrow system. However, the assets of Hurst group have been seriously shrunk in a series of disturbances. If a large number of assets are easily ceded to Westeros, we are not very willing.
What's more puzzling is that westero only gave them one chance to bid, leaving no room for bargaining.
This makes the family members even more hesitant.
So far, they don't think Simon westero is just bluffing.
As a result, the original opportunity to break the game suddenly became a dispute.
However, the outside world did not stop attacking the Hurst group because of the differences within the Hurst family.
Every day after that, there was bad news coming from the Hearst group. On May 11, several senior members of the Hearst group could not bear the pressure from the outside world, and because of the lack of backbone within the Hearst family to support the overall situation, they simply gave up and submitted their resignation letters together.
At present, everyone in the Hearst group is crying out for help. These senior executives realize that if they continue to stay, their career may sink to the bottom of the sea with this broken ship, so it's better to leave decisively.
With the resignation of the senior management, many middle and low-level managers and even ordinary employees of Hurst group also choose to flee, which continues to make the old media group worse.
On May 13, the bad news reappeared. A famous New York law firm, which was responsible for defending the Hearst group against the bombing of the westrow system lawsuit, also suddenly announced that it would withdraw from the case it was responsible for. Without the support of a strong legal team, the Hearst group suddenly became active in the lawsuit.
The once invincible Hurst group has been in a precarious situation in the dispute with the westero system. Since the outbreak of the Doris Fischer murder scandal in early May, it has been falling apart in less than half a month.
Of course, it's not that no one is on the side of Hurst.
At the beginning, he joined hands with many newspaper trade unions that initiated class action against Hurst group by more than 1100 employees of the three newspapers that were closed. He realized that the situation of Hurst group was getting worse and worse, and finally he could not calm down.
You know, the whole Hurst group is related to the jobs of more than 20000 employees.
If the Hurst group collapses or even goes bankrupt, the rich Hurst family may not become poor all at once. However, the more than 20000 employees of the Hurst group may lose their jobs in this accident.
Moreover, under the background of the accelerated decline of the traditional paper media industry under the pressure of the rise of the Internet industry, it will be very difficult for these employees to find new jobs of the same type once they lose their current jobs.
The Hearst family has been completely discredited because of the murder scandal of Doris Fischer. The newspaper trade union is afraid to speak for each other in public. However, under the coordination of several large trade unions, someone has submitted a petition letter to the White House, hoping that the president can intervene in this matter and avoid tens of thousands of families falling into trouble because of the loss of the Hearst family Unemployment dilemma.
