Chapter 794: 798

In addition to a dispensable Commission, the biggest benefit of the westero system is to further link its private military forces with the US government.

The American military consulting and security services company (MCSS), which is controlled by the Westeros family, is already a signing partner of the CIA.

After this operation, Ukraine's Ukrainian front line military service company (ufms) also achieved this goal in fact.

With this identity, Simon's private military power can avoid many unnecessary troubles.

Because with the deepening of cooperation, there are more and more secrets that are not enough for external humanity, and no one dares to open the lid easily. Those who attempt to do so are almost enemies of the US government. With the legal privacy of officially recognized hiding places, Simon can use these private weapons more safely when necessary.

Celia Miller was briefed on Saturday morning, and the afternoon was left to Joseph schrap and Paul Spitz, two political leaders.

After last year's mid-term election, not to mention the secret layout and the political lobbying departments of the subsidiaries, the political leaders of the Westeros were divided into two parts. Joseph schrap was mainly responsible for the political trends and bill lobbying in Washington, while Paul Spitz was responsible for the implementation of the intensive cultivation of the Westeros system in the states of the United States The plan is to infiltrate the political influence of the Westeros family into all States, counties and even specific constituencies in the United States in the next few years.

As long as Paul Spitz's goal is achieved, the westero system will be able to influence the domestic political trend of the United States more quietly in the future, and it will not easily attract too obvious attention.

Starting from one o'clock in the afternoon, everyone's meeting time is two hours.

It is mainly to solve some issues that are not suitable for discussion in phone calls and emails that may be bugged.

Through last year's mid-term election, Simon showed a muscle. What he has to do now is to keep a low profile and keep a low profile.

Whether it was members of Congress who were directly funded by the Westeros last year or indirectly benefited from the sniper program, Simon did not mention any new requirements to them in recent months except for some bills he had pushed earlier. He tried his best to fulfill the promise that the Westeros, who had made a statement to several big men in Washington at the beginning of the year, were just laying out Washington to protect themselves.

In fact, various bills closely related to the westero system have been carried out smoothly, as well as the black rock merger just finalized in recent days. All of these have made Simon's investment last year recover quite a huge return.

With so many benefits, Simon would not be stupid enough to find something to show the existence of westrow system in Washington.

After working in the afternoon, Simon took a helicopter to Manhattan.

Tonight, I'm going to attend a reception of the Lauder family to celebrate the official listing of Estee Lauder on the New York Stock Exchange at the end of this month.

As the world's largest top cosmetics giant in memory, Simon began to pay attention to Estee Lauder very early, and obtained 10% shares of Estee Lauder through Apollo management company's channel with 250 million US dollars in 1991. In recent years, Estee Lauder also has a lot of cooperation with westero system, and the interests of both sides are closely related.

Simon initially wanted melisandro to take over Apollo's 10% stake in Estee Lauder.

However, after some subsequent operations, Apollo management's sub funds holding Estee Lauder shares were all replaced by the self owned capital of westero system. In fact, westero company was in full control, and 10% of the shares could not obtain much voice of Estee Lauder. Therefore, Sofia was not interested, and Simon did not intend to do anything more.

With the continuous recovery of the North American stock market and the successful expansion of Estee Lauder in the past few years, after the IPO started last year, the final IPO valuation of Estee Lauder reached US $4.3 billion, the number of shares issued accounted for 15% of the total share capital, and the fund raised was us $650 million, half of which belonged to the sale of shares of Estee Lauder family, and the other half belonged to additional issuance for future enterprise development.

Based on the IPO valuation, Apollo management's initial investment of $250 million has increased by 72% in less than four years.

And it's just the beginning.

The industry is generally optimistic about the development prospect of Estee Lauder, and many analysts predict that the market value of Estee Lauder will easily exceed $5 billion after it goes public. This figure is far from the $50 billion market value of Estee Lauder in Simon's memory, but it also means that Estee Lauder has great potential for growth in the future.

Because it is optimistic, Apollo management's sub fund, which is completely subordinate to westero company, will continue to participate in Estee Lauder's IPO subscription this time, and will still maintain a 10% shareholding after listing. The Estee Lauder family has managed the company very well. Simon will not try to pursue the control of the company, but will continue to increase his shareholding in the future.

Arriving in Manhattan, Simon had dinner with several leaders of the westero building project to discuss the construction progress of the building until he arrived at the party on time at seven o'clock. The party was held in the upper east side mansion of the Lauder family. Most of the guests were celebrities from Wall Street and fashion circles, and most of them met Simon.After greeting Ronald Lauder, the head of the Lauder family, Simon entered the party hall on the first floor of the villa and immediately attracted a lot of attention.

First of all, Ronald Lauder's daughter, Irene Lauder.

There was also a dew marriage between the two sides, and it was the first time for the girl at that time, but they didn't contact each other several times later.

When we first met, the young girl who had just graduated from university was a little bit edgy and arrogant. Now she is obviously a lot more stable. Her already outstanding temperament is more and more elegant. She is also holding a young man's arm, obviously her boyfriend.

"Simon, this is my fiance Eric sinterhof," Irene Lauder said as she shook hands with Simon

Simon shook hands with the young man and noticed that Irene Lauder had something in her eyes Well, it should be called something to look forward to. He said with a smile: "you two are a perfect match. Best wishes to you."

Eric sinterhof is about the same age as Simon. He doesn't seem to be restrained in front of him. He smiles to express his thanks. He just shows his feet very quickly. He obviously eagerly introduces that he and Irene Lauder are college classmates. After chasing for many years, he finally achieves success. Balabala probably wants to show that their relationship is very stable in front of Simon.

Simon pretended not to notice the details of Irene Lauder's slight frown. He chatted with them for a few words and saw that Trish Goff appeared nearby and waved to the girl. When she came near, he naturally took hold of the baby face supermodel's slender waist, raised his glass to Irene Lauder and walked to Jon Cohen, the head of Goldman Sachs who was nodding to him not far away. They were in front of him Two days in the conference room.

Jon Cohen is the new chairman and CEO of Goldman Sachs who took office last year, succeeding Robert Rubin and Stephen Friedman.

Simon also knows that Jon Cohen won't stay in this position for a long time. No accident, he will give up the position of CEO next year to Henry Paulson, a famous senior executive of Goldman Sachs in Simon's memory. He only holds the title of chairman of the board of directors, and it will not last for several years.

Of course, that doesn't stop Simon from talking and laughing with each other.

No one who can climb to the top of the Wall Street pyramid, whether it's personal strength or identity background, will be simple.

On the other side, as Simon walked away, Irene Lauder was about to go to another place. She noticed that her fiance was staring at the slim figure next to a guy, and immediately said, "isn't it beautiful?"

Eric hinterhoff, startled by the speech, quickly withdrew his eyes and explained to Irene Lauder with flattery, "I just, it seems, isn't westero married?"

Irene Lauder still stares at each other: "yes, so, are you envious?"

Eric hinthoff shook his head. "Of course not, Irene. I only love you. Forever."

Then he reached over and wanted to hold his fiancee's waist.

I wanted to avoid it and realized that it was a public occasion. After all, they were engaged. Refusing on the spot might make my fiance embarrassed. Irene Lauder still let him hug her and warned, "I'll never tolerate this kind of thing, Eric. I can't do it once."

"I promise you, Irene," Eric hinthoff said without hesitation

Irene Lauder just let go of her fiance, but still quietly gouged out a guy's back not far away. She thought in her heart that she was a naughty guy.

Simon doesn't know what Irene Lauder is thinking. He is talking with Goldman Sachs CEO Jon Cohen about a $20 billion bond to be issued by the Mexican government, which is a batch of bonds used to solve Mexico's economic difficulties with the support of the United States after last year's Mexican Peso Crisis.

Of course, it was only after Mexico signed a series of unequal treaties that it was able to get relief, so it has considerable repayment protection.

Robert Rubin, the former head of Goldman Sachs, was promoted from the president's economic policy assistant to the Treasury Secretary at the beginning of this year. He directly used his power to hand over the issuance right of these bonds to Goldman Sachs.

In fact, this kind of operation is exactly the same as that of Henry Paulson, the successor of Jon Cohen, during the subprime mortgage crisis in the original time and space.

Simon doesn't have any opinions on this. Westrow system will not set foot in the investment banking business in the short term. The main reason for talking about this topic is that Heiyan asset management company, which is owned by cersei capital and holds hundreds of billions of dollars of assets, happens to be the best buyer of various types of bonds.

Investment banks are responsible for issuing stocks and bonds, and funds purchase stocks and bonds. This is the basic process of the operation of financial products in the United States.

Investment banks and funds also have a variety of interests.

If there are good investment opportunities between closely related investment banks and funds, investment banks will think of each other for the first time. Similarly, sometimes investment banks need the help of funds, such as taking over some unsold stocks and bonds, they also need the help of relevant funds. On the whole, it is a relationship of mutual benefit.After years of cooperation, the relationship between Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley and cersei capital on Wall Street is roughly the same, and a first Boston can be added later.

At the beginning, Lehman Brothers, which had the opportunity to work closely, had been completely forgotten by Simon.

Simon didn't stop talking to Jon Cohen until bill split and grace split came to say hello.

Estee Lauder's IPO scale is very small, at least it is not worth mentioning in front of igritte's IPO, so the Goldman Sachs family is enough to eat. This time, there is no room for First Boston to intervene. Bill spatter is riding his wife's free ride.

Grace's customer, qusi Gough, signed a make-up endorsement with Estee Lauder last year. According to grace, this is the result of the competition between Revlon, Maybelline and other brands. Qusi Gough is a baby face's "love" in the light makeup state As soon as you put on heavy makeup, you will immediately turn into an amazing dark loli. Coupled with the girl's rising popularity, you are the best candidate for the endorsement of color makeup products.

Not only that, Grace's elite's new media operations department signed another $5 million online marketing contract this year after a tentative cooperation with Estee Lauder last year.

What Simon values about Estee Lauder is that he dares to try new things and keep pace with the times.

In my memory, in the Internet era, Estee Lauder keeps up with the trend and smashes more than 80% of its annual marketing budget on the Internet, and has achieved very good results. Therefore, it has maintained a long-term strong growth even though many brands such as Revlon have almost disappeared.

Grace always keeps a proper distance from Simon in front of others. She knows that it's a woman's consideration. Simon is also very cooperative. She also takes the initiative to ask about the operation status of the new media department. After Ronald Lauder and his wife welcome the guests to join the conversation, she provides a lot of suggestions for the marketing cooperation on the Internet platform.

Everyone was chatting enthusiastically, and it was already more than eight o'clock unconsciously.

After drinking several glasses of red wine in succession, Simon had to temporarily interrupt the conversation and apologized that he wanted to go to the bathroom.

Obviously in order to show his importance to Simon, Ronald Lauder did not ask the waiter to take Simon to the public restroom on the first floor. Instead, he grabbed his daughter who didn't know when to come and asked her to take Simon upstairs.

Before Simon could say no, Irene Lauder had already made a polite gesture of invitation, which was extremely appropriate.

They went upstairs together. As soon as they turned the corner of the stairs invisible to the guests downstairs, a girl who seemed to have been patient for a long time stopped pretending to be a lady. Her voice also contained some small questions: "Mr. westero, you can really disguise yourself, as if nothing had happened to us."

Simon followed the girl slightly, feeling the good smell of Irene Lauder and the proud tone of the night when she was a girl. He said with a smile, "I think this is respect for an engaged lady, isn't it?"

Irene Lauder paused and snorted, as if unwilling: "but you took my first time."

Simon said, "it's my pleasure."

Irene Lauder added, "I mean, after that, you don't contact me any more, and you want me to take the initiative."

Simon explained, "you know, I'm married."

Irene Lauder said, "that's a bad excuse. Just now, someone was holding a girl who wasn't his wife. And, Mr. westerlow, I find more and more that you have a bad reputation in the circle. "

"That's why I took the initiative to stay away from you. You are a good girl."

"Why doesn't it sound like a compliment?"

"I promise, absolutely," Simon said, as Irene Lauder continued up the stairs to the fourth floor of the five story mansion and asked, "are we going to the rooftop?"

Irene Lauder also found something wrong. It was enough to be on the second floor. However, hearing Simon say this, he could not help teasing: "you want to be on the roof That's dirty. "

“……”

Aware of Simon's depression and winning at last, Irene Lauder slightly raised her chin and hesitated. Instead of going up, she took Simon through the corridor to a room door. She hesitated slightly or pushed the door open.

Simon just looked into the room and knew that it was Irene Lauder's bedroom. He walked in without stopping, complimenting, "your room is really nice."

Irene Lauder also thought that men could take the initiative to ignore this point. Seeing that he broke it, she couldn't change her room temporarily. She stood at the door and pointed to the direction of the bathroom. Suddenly she thought of it and asked, "are you That's right. "

Simon understood it and said with a smile, "of course, girl, you are so dirty."

Simon just said this subconsciously. There is no accurate adjective for "dirty" in English, so he casually used "dirty", which is the same word as Irene Lauder's "dirty".However, the English word "dirty" has too many meanings.

For example, dirty.

Irene Lauder was obviously wrong in her understanding, and she was immediately upset. She just said Simon "dirty". How can this guy describe her in reverse. So subconsciously, he reached out to hold the man's skirt. Facing Simon's puzzled eyes, he could not help hiding slightly. Then he turned back again and said angrily, "you have to apologize to me."

Simon helpless, slightly raised his hands to do Surrender: "OK, I apologize."

Irene Lauder felt Simon's insincere tone. Instead, she held the man's hand tightly. Her eyes continued to look at each other. She seemed dissatisfied, tangled, and eager to try.

Simon waited for a moment, put down his hands. One of them leaned over, grabbed the girl's chin, raised it slightly, and bowed his head to kiss her.

However, within ten minutes, they went downstairs one after another.

She rejoined the party because it wasn't long, and neither Irene Lauder's parents nor her fiance found anything unusual. Instead, grace gave Simon a special look.

At the party that started at seven o'clock in the evening, Simon just stayed for two hours and left just after nine o'clock. By the way, he took Trish Goff away in the envious eyes of other fashion models who were present at the same time.

The next day was Sunday.

Still unable to relax.

After the new year, Chen Qing and Chen Qing, who returned from the other side of the ocean, came up with an investment plan in the hardware field, mainly about the VCD industry. Simon made an appointment to talk with them in the morning.
