Chapter 664: 667

The word Vanity Fair is very interesting. Fame comes first and profit comes second.

Therefore, we can see that most people subconsciously rank the importance of fame and wealth.

However, for some people who climb to the top of the social pyramid, they often need to accumulate enough wealth before they can pursue fame.

No matter what kind of cultural background it is, it is basically the same.

For Simon, the desire to show himself, the desire to stand out, is still some instinct from the depths of human genes.

Like a peacock.

Entertainment industry is undoubtedly one of the most convenient channels to get attention from the outside world. Hollywood is the core of the world's entertainment industry.

So, from a very early age, capital or tycoons from all over the world want to make great achievements in Hollywood one after another.

Especially in the last decade, the British, the French, the Germans, the Italians, the Japanese, the Australians, the Canadians and the Americans themselves Or set up a film company in Hollywood, or aim at the seven old brands in Hollywood, or cast films as an independent investor. It's all kinds and very lively.

Simon also knew that many years later, it was the turn of the Chinese.

As for the results, they basically failed after paying enough tuition for the Hollywood natives.

Just because of the desire for vanity fair, no matter how many people fall into it, they can't stop the stream of latecomers.

Vivendi group of France, which suddenly expressed interest in Disney Company, is the latest "latecomer".

Vivendi group is a monopolistic water company established in the mid-19th century in France. It is responsible for the urban water supply business of Paris, Lyon and other French core cities. Later, it gradually developed into a diversified infrastructure giant integrating water, energy, construction, transportation and other businesses.

Then, since the 1980s, Vivendi, who has been inheriting for a hundred years, also began to transform itself into a vanity fair. First, Vivendi invested in France and established it. In fact, Vivendi chose to buy Disney because of Disneyland in Paris.

This large-scale theme park, which cost US $5 billion before and after it opened in 1992, directly fell into huge losses. In the past two years, its performance has not improved much, and it has even been on the verge of bankruptcy. The original ambitious "Euro Disney" has been changed to "Bali Disney".

Although the French media continue to sneer at Disneyland, in fact, the French government dare not let such a large theme park go bankrupt.

Because the huge Disneyland in Paris provides more than 40000 fixed or temporary employment opportunities for France, and forms a comprehensive business circle around Disneyland in Paris involving more people's jobs.

The European currency crisis two years ago plunged the French economy into recession, and the unemployment rate at this stage has reached 9.1%. If Disneyland in Paris goes bankrupt, it will not only leave a shocking mess, but also directly affect the further deterioration of the economy in Paris.

The failure of Disneyland in Paris is largely due to the blindness and arrogance of the management of Disneyland.

Now, if Vivendi can take in Disney, the French can directly control the operation of Disneyland in Paris.

As for Hollywood, Vivendi's contact with Disney was exposed by the Los Angeles Times at Simon's instigation.

Since Sony acquired Colombia five years ago, American media have begun to call on the federal government to take measures to stop the invasion of foreign capital into American cultural industry. One of the most widely accepted plans is to open the ban on media integration as soon as possible, so that Hollywood film company and American large public television network can merge and integrate with each other, so as to promote the development of American cultural industry It will resist the acquisition of foreign capital.

The outbreak of public opinion turmoil in March led to the stalling of a series of lobbying bills related to the westero system, including the almost door-to-door reopening of the ban on media integration.

The relationship between the United States and France has never been harmonious.

Simon is to force Congress to start voting to lift the ban on media integration as soon as possible through the power of public opinion.

Otherwise, another Hollywood tycoon will be acquired by foreigners, and half of Hollywood will be in the bag of overseas capital, which is very difficult for Americans who are not lack of national pride. The two houses of Congress, which obstruct the lifting of the ban on media integration, will definitely become the target of media attacks.

As for Denise entertainment, after the lifting of the ban on media integration, it can further march into the traditional TV industry.

Ohio.

It's Monday, July 11.

In the new box office week starting on Friday, North American Theaters have released two new heavyweight films, namely, Arnold Schwarzenegger's "true lies" and Julia Roberts's "I love trouble".

However, the most popular movie these days is Forrest Gump.

Simon spent the weekend with his family in Los Angeles and flew to Ohio early Monday morning.The military consulting and security services company (MCSA), a private military force of westero system, reported directly to Simon. During this period of preparation, it has taken shape. With the help of Leslie Wexley, the former boss of weixley's parent company, Ltd group, Simon purchased 12000 acres of land in Wexley's hometown in the mountainous area of Southern Ohio as the training base for MCSA The ground.

Ohio is located in the United States inland, the training base will be placed here, as far as possible to avoid outside attention.

The 50 square kilometer training base is located in a valley surrounded by mountains on three sides, surrounded by hills and a winding river.

Different from the European side, Simon's expectation of MCSA is that the essence is not much expensive. Therefore, in two months, under the operation of Celia Miller, Dan rubir and Martin Stillman, MCSA has only recruited 150 permanent members, including 50 former retired military officers at all levels of the United States and 100 former special forces soldiers.

The first phase of these people's mission is to improve the construction and operation of the training base, and train a group of female bodyguards for the Westeros.

In addition to 150 already employed MCSA employees, Celia Miller was also responsible for recruiting 100 young girls with various sports specialties from American state universities during this period, basically between 18 and 22 years old, ranging from freshman to senior.

The American concept of education is far less strong than that of Chinese people.

It is well known that the waiters of the Uygur family are well paid. Therefore, most of the girls are willing to give up their studies after receiving the interview invitation.

After a rigorous first stage screening, Celia selected 100 girls from more than 2000 candidates. After rigorous training, only 20 to 30 of them will be retained, and most of them will still be eliminated. However, westero also promised that the eliminated girls could go back to school. Westero not only completed relevant communication with their alma mater in advance, but also provided a one-time scholarship of $50000 for the girls.

At more than two o'clock in the afternoon, Simon first met a group of girls in training at the MCSA training base near fulston, Southern Ohio.

The training contents of bodyguards and soldiers are very different.

Therefore, some instructors of MCSA will only be responsible for the firearms, physical fitness and combat training of these girls. When it comes to the professional skills such as guard, communication and monitoring that bodyguards need to master, they will be in charge of the former U.S. secret service instructors and professional agents from CIA recruited by westero company.

At the edge of the shooting range, there was a lot of gunfire. After watching for a while, a whole row of girls in camouflage uniform were shooting with guns. Simon looked around.

Around the open shooting range, there are at least four obvious cameras, and the whole training range is basically covered by cameras.

Simon also knows that the monitoring center connected by these cameras is not inside the training base, but 100 kilometers away in downtown Columbus, Ohio, and the monitoring center of domay point manor in Los Angeles, where the monitoring images can also be accessed at any time.

The long-term consideration is to maintain the monitoring of this training base.

In the short term, it is to ensure the absolute safety of 100 trained girls in the shooting range at this time.

These girls, who are between 175cm and 180cm in height, generally have track and field, basketball, fighting and other sports specialties. Compared with ordinary women, they actually have considerable self-protection ability.

Unfortunately, this is a military camp.

The proportion of female soldiers in the federal army who are sexually assaulted is shocking. Even if a group of girls are better than ordinary people, they still can't fight back in front of the former U.S. special forces.

Simon doesn't want the girls who are going to be the closest bodyguards of the Westeros to suffer similar injuries in the future.

Therefore, it is not only the strict monitoring of the training places, but also the fact that these girls do not live in the base on weekdays. They live in the nearby urban area of fulston. At the same time, there are a considerable proportion of women among all kinds of instructors, and strict preventive training regulations have been formulated.

Just in case, the girls were even banned from contacting other members of the base.

Celia, who is still in a black ol suit, noticed the man's eyes and looked at her. She couldn't help smiling and said, "Simon, I think you're not training bodyguards, you're raising a daughter."

Simon looked back at the woman beside him and said with a smile, "do you like this play? We can try it sometime. "

Celia thought a little before she realized it. Her face turned reddish and white. The man said, "I mean, you're so protective of the women around you."

Simon said, "you mean possessiveness, don't you?"

Celia hesitated a little, but did not deny it.

Simon didn't deny it, saying: "it's possessiveness of course. It's pure male possessiveness. Since these girls have entered my territory, I naturally have to avoid them becoming the targets of other males."Celia's eyes flashed a few times and suddenly asked a little sharp question: "what about yourself?"

Simon glanced at the woman beside him, with a natural evil smile on the corner of his mouth: "of course I am the exception. In my territory, everything is mine, including you

"You," Celia's eyes widened slightly, but she couldn't help avoiding the man's eyes. "You're just like a lion on the grassland."

Simon didn't respond.

Celia did not know that she was not the first woman to feel this way.

After such a short silence, Celia took the initiative to say, "boss, why don't you talk?"

Simon said, "what?"

Celia deliberately showed a bit of ridicule: "is it embarrassing for me to expose it face to face?"

Simon looked at the girls who had finished several groups of training and started to gather here with the instructor's signal, and said, "Celia, you must have known my growing up experience."

The woman paused and nodded.

Simon said: "for you, or for most people in the world, what you have received since childhood is very orthodox education of human civilization. You will think that the world is bright and beautiful. Even now, you will at least think that the world is full of order. But I'm not. "

Celia didn't answer, waiting for the man to continue.

Simon did not pause too much, and said quickly: "for me, living at the bottom of the society since I was a child, the world in my eyes is cruel and the law of the jungle. If you are not strong enough, you will only be eliminated. Later, I stood in my present position, in my eyes, the top of the pyramid of this society, is still cruel, is still the law of the jungle. So, I'm different from you. I've always been different. My outlook on life, from small to large, has always been the law of the jungle. You just asked me if I was embarrassed. I'm sorry that your code of ethics doesn't apply to me. In my eyes, the strong have everything. And the weak, if you can't be strong, should have the consciousness of the weak. "
