Warm dinner, and ramble, listen to him say those mysterious, true and false, the sky is high and the sea is wide, boundless.
You can't be greedy.
Grace's movement is very light, Simon still wakes up. "Do you want to get up?" he asked softly
Side over the face and the man pasted, feeling his light stubble, reluctant to give up the way: "it's still early."
Simon looked at the skylight through the curtains and said, "well, sleep a little longer."
"Can't sleep..." Tone can't help but with a little coquetry, and then feel the cheek slightly hot, he is not suitable for coquetry, press and hold his big hand: "chat with me."
"Don't tell you a ghost story, like last night?"
"According to your theory, I'm not afraid now. I even expect ghosts to exist in this world, so that I can prove that death is not the end, and maybe there will be an afterlife."
"If there is an afterlife, what do you want to do?"
"As long as I don't meet you again."
"Oh, I understand. It's irony."
"No, you are my doom, myself and my family. Because of you, fate has changed."
"Don't you want that change?"
"My daughter went to Dalton high school in the fall and met a very good boy..." At this point, grace pause, then said: "my daughter is very beautiful."
Simon's big hand under the quilt covered the woman's small hand in turn and said without hesitation: "sure, just look at mom."
Grace was reluctant to change her posture at this time. She twisted her face again and pasted a sticker on the man's chin. She continued: "then, we received a party invitation from the boy's family during Halloween. After we contacted, we found that they probably wanted to get in touch with you through us."
"What did you do with it?"
"To tell you the truth, I'm not familiar with Simon westero, but I'm working with you."
"And then?"
Grace hesitated and said, "Rita likes the boy very much, but I think the boy is just fulfilling the task assigned by her parents. I've talked about it several times. Although I'm the captain of the football team in my school, I'm actually a child with no idea in my heart. I said that after I didn't know you well, there was a lot of coldness towards us. Maybe the boy also had some feelings for Rita, and he didn't break up. Occasionally he would continue to visit my family. He had a good upbringing. "
Simon smiles: "are you satisfied or not?"
Grace shook her head slightly. "I don't like the boy's family. It's snobbish."
"Just ignore them. It's a matter of two children. Don't you think that our girl is going to stay with that boy all the time, or even get married and have children?"
Grace turned her head white and Simon said, "what's our girl?"
Simon brazenly said: "as a responsible man, your daughter is certainly my daughter."
"What about my husband?" grace said
"Well, let's change the subject."
Grace took the man's big hand out of the quilt, pretended to be angry and bit it gently until she grinded her teeth. Then she whispered, "in fact, the main reason is that the family is rich and powerful. I'm afraid Rita will be hurt."
"How does it compare with Simon westero?"
"Shrimp."
"What else are you worried about?"
"You are you, I am me."
"As I said just now, I'm a very responsible man, very short guard type," Simon said. After thinking about it, he said, "in this way, next time you go to New York and invite you to visit me, you can take that family with you."
"I don't want to get too close to you."
"Aren't we close yet?"
Grace tilted her head and gave him a slight glance.
Simon didn't like it and asked, "by the way, what do you say the boy does at home? I'll let someone check it first."
"In Florida, Levison group is mainly engaged in real estate."
"It seems to have some impression."
"Florida is a famous rich family. It's not surprising that you've heard of it."
Simon recalled it again and said, "I mean, I seem to have. I have a property in North Palm Beach, Miami. I went on holiday with Jennie two years ago. I met the head of Levison group at the local party. It's like, well, Francis Levison."
Grace nodded and said, "that's him. He's the boy Mike's father, I didn't expect you to have such a good memory. "
Simon said, "in fact, the main thing is that I happen to remember his wife was beautiful."
Grace grabs Simon's right hand to her mouth and bites it.
Simon allowed the woman to grind her teeth and said with a smile: "two years ago, the real estate industry in Florida was at its lowest point. The property I bought in Miami was cheap. At present, the federal real estate industry is in the dark stage before dawn. However, many real estate companies just can't make it. Levison group should also be in trouble. "The real estate industry in the United States witnessed a period of prosperity in 80s. After the 87 disaster, the bubble burst and the 91 year was at its lowest level. The Gulf War ended and Clinton began to slowly improve after coming to power. It is expected that next year, with the recovery of the US economic indicators, it will eventually rise to the next millennium until the subprime crisis.
It can be said that now is the best time to enter the real estate industry.
Of course, many people see this opportunity, whether there is strength and courage to enter is another matter.
The westrow system is the one that really comes into play.
Simon's acquisition of a golden real estate company, in addition to laying a potential line, is also because he is optimistic about the future prospects of the U.S. real estate industry. Cersei capital's Apollo management company and black rock asset management company have also purchased a large number of real estate related assets through various types of portfolios in recent years.
Not only that, Simon's properties around the world are fundamentally an investment.
The global economy will show a trend of rapid rise in the next ten years, and the rise of new technology will create a lot of new wealth. With the increase of demand, the growth rate of luxury housing prices around the world is bound to be ahead of the real estate industry itself. Moreover, even if the bubble burst in the future, the value of the top luxury houses will not depreciate too much.
Simon is now buying luxury houses all over the world. He can not only satisfy the habit of living in his own house wherever he goes, but also the value-added return of these properties is not much worse than many other investments.
The scale of fixed assets, stocks, bonds and other investment portfolio of the whole westrow system in the real estate industry may occupy a small proportion in Simon's business empire, but this is only relative. Combined with a 10 billion level portfolio, it is obvious that many troubled real estate companies will be attracted to the Westeros system in order to seek possible help.
On the other hand, the Levinson family tried to connect with Simon by associating their son with grace's daughter. It seems that they are somewhat biased and probably helpless.
Simon has never been a sociable person in his heart. Despite the fact that "this man from the earth" can participate in the buffet the night before yesterday, it's just because the project is related to Simon. Simon has no interest in irrelevant people and no time to deal with them casually.
Judging from grace's tone, Levinson group has a small reputation in Florida. Its family assets may be able to enter the 400 rich list in the United States, and it may still be the kind of old money family with a profound heritage of a century. But now in the United States, if you want to compete with simmondy assets, it is all playing, it is power. The comprehensive strength of westero system in all walks of life is enough to crush most of them It's divided into old consortia, not to mention individual families.
The only advantage that the old family can show is probably the so-called heritage accumulated by generations at the top of the pyramid. It's just that these can be pinched in front of the same level of new rich. In front of Simon, they are also jokes. The Hurst family, which was crushed by the westero system and quickly disintegrated, is the most typical example.
To put it in a more appropriate way, the rise of the westero system is actually equivalent to a "change of Dynasty" for the traditional capital of the United States. Because of the rapid rise, the traditional capital forces in the United States have not responded to the threat of westero system. Suddenly, the capital structure of this country has been completely changed.
And it's a change that's hard to reverse.
The history of the United States is too short. With Simon's most familiar China as a reference, no Dynasty can recover after being overthrown.
Now, the only way to destroy the influence of the westero system on the United States is to use unconventional extreme means. Simon certainly won't allow this to happen, so there have been several fierce or radical warning actions in the past year, including various means of profit giving, integration and wooing.
Grace listened to Simon's serious voice, loosened her teeth and asked, "are you going to help them?"
"Do you think I'm an angel?"
Grace also knows about the change of ownership of a golden real estate company in the media. Holding Simon in her arms, she Puns: "you are the devil."
Simon said with a smile: "or you see through."
Grace hesitated and said, "I think it's better to forget about being a guest with you."
"It's really nothing," Simon said. "It's just like you introduced a business to me. Recently, I happened to increase my investment in Florida, and I'm optimistic about the real estate industry. It's just good to support a spokesperson there."
"Otherwise, I'll just introduce you and go to see them yourself."
"Together, take our daughter, and I want to see you, too."
"Asshole, you always think you're taking advantage of me."
Simon said with a smile, "is there any advantage I haven't taken in you?"
Grace suddenly thought of something, turned around, looked at Simon and said, "you really can only treat Rita as a daughter. Don't have other bad thoughts."
Simon knew at a glance what women were worried about and said, "I promise. Actually, there are other reasons for those three. Do you understand? "Grace's eyes flashed: "well, what about me."
"You are a lover."
Grace pretended dissatisfaction: "so reluctant?"
"I have many women, but few lovers. I can count them with one hand."
"Oh," said grace, her eyes brightening and her mouth still clinging, "how many women have you had?"
"That's not really counted."
"So," grace hesitated a little and asked a sensitive question, "what's the relationship between you and your wife?"
"Very good."
Originally asked this question, there were some ups and downs. Seeing that the man's tone was calm, grace felt a little relieved and became more curious: "you're such a mess, can't she taste it?"
Simon said, "well, actually, I'm a feminist, and my wife is a male chauvinist."
Grace blinked and didn't respond.
"Are you thinking, on the contrary?" Simon laughed and said, "well, I'm a feminist. But it's right that Jennie is a male chauvinist. She thinks it's natural for men to have a lot of women."
Grace blinked again.
Simon smiles and reaches out his finger to flick a woman's eyelashes. He feels a row of small brushes flicker at his fingertips after being frightened. Then he says, "of course, if other women, such as you, want to take her wife's position, it's different. She may kill you. Pay attention, it's not a joke. Even my life is in danger."
"It feels strange."
Simon said: "this is a pyramid world. Because the tower base is too crowded, most people at the bottom can only accept the constraints of various secular rules actively or passively. After a long time, they take it for granted. Then, the higher you go, the higher the degree of freedom. The elites at the top of the pyramid are more likely to realize the aspirations of the people at the bottom, so it becomes common. For the people at the bottom, since they can't realize it, from the bottom up, they often question some things, but they can only question, even most of them take it for granted, and then try their best to climb up. "
Grace listened to the little man's reasonable nonsense in front of her. She suddenly laughed and said, "I feel like you're sophistry?"
Simonton showed a punctured expression: "well, actually I'm a naughty bad man."
Grace chuckled, but she pasted it on Simon and said softly, "you don't need to feel inferior. I'm a bad woman, too."
"It sounds like a good match."
"Well."
They were laughing and whispering. Seeing that the time was almost the same, they got up.
Grace is going to return to New York in the morning, Simon is busy here, and in the afternoon, she is also flying back to Los Angeles, all of which are idle.
