Chapter 1003

Name:Hollywood Hunter Author:Just Do
After about half an hour's flight, the helicopter landed in a manor near the sea in Southampton, the east end of Long Island.

All the way in excitement, Zhu Momo took Simon's arm and got off the helicopter. Looking at the three-story village style villa with stone appearance at the end of the open lawn, his eyes widened and he exclaimed: "it's so beautiful here."

Compared with the crowded Manhattan, standing on the lawn of this 10 acre manor, with the blue sky above, the magnificent villa in front, the sound of waves behind, and the vibrant green of summer around, anyone can feel a little comfortable in this kind of environment.

Simon took the three girls to the villa and said to Zhu Mo who was holding his arm: "if you like, you can come here often in the future."

Zhu Momo is very bold, eyes looking at Simon, said: "in fact, I was thinking, I can also have such a manor."

Simon's mouth showed a smile, and he didn't mind the girl's direct ambition. His tone was suggestive: "it depends on your performance."

Simon said this, and the three girls around him were all looking tiny.

If not for the desire for fame and fortune, the three girls will not rashly sign up for the elite model contest. After all, modeling is still a top job for most people in China at this stage. Simon's simple words, if other people say it, the three girls may only be joking.

But this is Simon westero.

Think about the battle when the other party visited China a few months ago, and the wealth of more than one trillion US dollars. For this man, this manor may be similar to one of their clothes.

Approaching the villa, there is already a maid waiting in front of the door.

Although the properties of the Westeros family are all over the world, they are still expanding with a team of waiters. The daily maintenance of every property, big or small, can be maintained at any time. However, the cost of this aspect is enough for Simon to buy a few more villas under his feet every year.

Of course, money is not a problem for Simon.

When Simon arrived at the steps of the villa, one of the tour leader's blonde waitresses stepped forward, followed Simon up the steps, and said respectfully, "Mr. westrow, Ms. Davis will arrive in half an hour. What do you need now?"

Simon did not answer immediately, but asked, "what's your name?"

"Jill," the waitress added with a slight hesitation, "Jill peckert."

Simon nodded: "find out what party there is in Hampton tonight. Make it easier. In addition, ask someone to send a batch of clothes for them."

"All right."

Jill said, looking at the three people's figure, I know.

When you enter the villa, the interior is also in a relatively primitive decoration style, with rocks exposed on the walls, dark red wood floors, log splicing furniture, and seemingly rough fabric sofa Together, but with a special natural beauty. In fact, there were some animal specimens that Simon was not interested in, so they were removed.

Zhu Momo, Jian Xin and Tao Yuelei look around with great interest. After hearing the man's words, they look at each other and look forward to each other.

Through the villa hall, turn right to a living room, Simon sat down on the sofa, patted Zhu Momo's waist and said to Jill, "take them around the villa. I'll have a rest."

Jill agreed again, made a gesture to the third daughter of Zhu Mo, and said to Simon, "boss, would you like something to drink?"

"Just give me a glass of water."

Originally also want Simon to accompany himself, Zhu Mo Mo three listen to the man said to have a rest, did not say anything, cleverly follow Jill to leave the room.

After leaving the house, Jill invites another maid to take the three girls to visit the villa. She also tells other subordinates to arrange for the entourage who comes with Simon to settle down in the annex building. By the way, during the process of going to the kitchen, Jill quickly dials angri Davis and tells Simon the two requests he just made. Finally, Jill takes a bottle of mineral water and a glass and goes back to the living room.

After putting the tray on the coffee table in front of Simon, Jill knelt down on the carpet, looked at the man leaning on the sofa with a business weekly in his hand and said, "boss, do you want a cup?"

Simon shook his head. "No."

Jill answered softly, unscrewing the cap and taking the bottle to the corner of the coffee table nearest to Simon.

Then the atmosphere quieted down.

Jill pecker hesitated a little and insisted on kneeling at the coffee table, because it was too rare to have direct contact with the boss. Once angri Davis came with the team, everything here would be taken over. Even if she wanted to say a word to someone, she didn't know when it was.

After nearly ten minutes, Jill finally heard her voice: "you know I like women's posture very much?"

Jill gave a little meal and nodded honestly, "yes, boss."After all, Jill pecker, who is in the waiters group of the Uygur family and has been a waiters of the Uygur family for nearly two years, can know about someone's personality by collecting the information he has collected.

Simon flipped a random page of BusinessWeek and asked, "tell me about yourself."

Jill was stunned.

Well, I didn't expect that. However, I understand that this is the best chance to make an impression on this powerful man.

After finishing my thoughts quickly, Jill said: "boss, I received this job invitation after I graduated from the applied mathematics major in Princeton two years ago, because I believe this job can give me a great potential development platform, so I agreed. After the initial training, I was initially responsible for the daily work of a manor in Miami, Florida, and was transferred to New York by Ms. Davis half a year later. Later, my wife may think that I have done a good job and talked with me in person. Since last month, she has asked me to take charge of the foreman work of the maid team in a total of seven properties in Southampton. "

"It looks like you did a good job."

Jill thought about it. Instead of showing off her opinions on the daily management and team structure of the waiters, she confidently said, "yes."

"And applied mathematics. I like people who are very good at mathematics."

"Thank you, boss. Besides, in the last two years, I also got my MBA degree."

"Oh, I like that, too." Simon turned the magazine in his hand and said with a smile: "however, it's a pity that you missed the opportunity. The good opportunities like those of ABCD are gone. Just like the founder bonus of an enterprise, the founding team can always get higher returns relatively easily. No matter how strong the ability is, no matter how well they do or even become the CEO, they can't earn more than the original shareholders. ”

"boss, I don't think so," Jill retorts, "with the resources of the westero system, as long as the boss is willing to give us opportunities, we can still achieve success more easily than ordinary people."

"What kind of opportunities do you want?"

"I want to be a woman who can be a boss."

"And then?"

"I'll do whatever opportunities my boss gives me."

"In that case, you probably know some of my habits. Let's put down my present job and go to be the valet of those three girls."

Jill looked at Simon, whose eyes still fell on the business week, and said, "boss, do you mean my opportunity is in China?"

Simon finally looked up at Jill and said, "you're really smart."

Jill chuckled.

I remember that a top student in Princeton was invited to work as a waitress of the Wei family. With such selection criteria, how can a woman who is not smart come in? Moreover, she also believes that the man in front of her should also see another advantage: enough toughness.

You know, for this opportunity, she waited patiently for two years.

Although the salaries of even the more peripheral members of the Weijia maid and bodyguard team are quite good, many people choose to leave because their daily work is too low-level and they can't see a man for a long time.

Jill, by contrast, is definitely one of the few people who is very aggressive and tolerant enough to endure plain suffering.

Of course, I didn't plan to keep going.

Jill's plan is to complete her five-year contract. If she can't make it, she will definitely leave and do something of her own by relying on the accumulation in recent years and the vase fund share provided by the Westeros family for the Weijia maid team. She was 23 years old when she started work two years ago. Even five years later, she is only 28 years old. Many things are not too late.

Now, it's clear that things are turning for the better.

Even without today, Jill knew she had a good future after meeting Janet westero in June. There are always rumors that Janet westero is ignored by Simon westero, but Jill knows that Janet westero, or two jennies, in domay point manor, has more resources and power than the hostesses of many wealthy families.

However, compared with Janet westero's arrangement for her in the future, Jill still hopes to get the direct favor of the family man.

Simon simply closed his business week and motioned to the girl, "come here."

Jill moved obediently to the man's feet.

Simon held up her chin and looked at her. Her appearance was more than 80 points. She had golden hair, blue eyes, a nose and a delicate mouth. Her fingertips also showed her tender skin: "pekert, is this German surname?"

Jill nodded slightly: "yes, boss, I was born in Germany and immigrated to the United States with my parents when I was 3 years old."

Simon took back his hand and said with a smile, "one more point, I like German girls, too. Apart from the lack of humor, the Germanic people are indeed one of the best in the world. "Jill thoughtfully handed Simon's bottle of mineral water to his boss. He looked up at the man's eyes, but didn't speak.

In fact, Jill is very curious about this man's ethnicity.

Or the whole world is curious.

Westerners always emphasize equality and political correctness, but in fact, most people are very concerned about ethnicity. It's not just that there are great differences between different races, including white people and white people. For example, the most superior people are obviously the Anglo Saxons. The most controversial people are the Jews. As for the Slavs, they belong to the lowest class. Because of historical reasons, they have been despised and even hostile for a long time.

In addition, Simon westero, because he made his fortune in Hollywood, coupled with the miracle of this young man's rapid accumulation of huge wealth, it was once rumored that he was a Jew, and the Jewish community obviously hoped that this was the truth.

However, according to his appearance, westero seems to be more inclined to the mainstream Anglo Saxons, which is also the expectation of the "wasps".

In addition, with some rumors that westero is very interested in Eastern Europe, especially after a big fight in Africa two years ago with the former Soviet army, there are also some rumors that westero has Slavic blood.

Because of this man's orphan background, even his real surname was unknown. Maybe even westero himself didn't know the truth. Or, the man already knows. After all, with more and more power and wealth, it's probably not difficult for westero to find out what he wants to pursue.

With this in mind, Simon seemed to be in a good mood after a few drinks. Jill said, "boss, can I choose the team to follow them?"

"Good."

"So, boss, and then, what can I do?"

"Get to know China first and find opportunities for yourself. Different from Europe and America, the other side of the ocean is a blue ocean of capital in my opinion. If you can't find opportunities in such an environment, you can only rest assured of your present position. "

"If I find it, will the boss support me?"

"Find it first."

Jill opened her mouth again, trying to stop talking.

Simon said with a smile: "as for the funds or resources, when they should be given to you, they will naturally be given to you."

After chatting for a while, the housekeeper, angri Davis, arrives and naturally takes over Jill pecker's work. The three girls are called downstairs again after Simon swims around the villa with the idea of letting the cat go. Then they see the hall full of luxurious women's clothes and bag shoes, and even a team of professional stylists.

After more than two hours of consolidation, three girls who had just signed a contract with elite and could only live in dormitories and wear the cheapest clothes before completely changed from Cinderella to princess.

As in a dream.

Meanwhile, the housekeeper also collected some information about the party held in the Hampton area tonight. Simon selected a charity cocktail party hosted by contex boss Shiyi Newhouse in his East Hampton mansion. A little contact, there that Simon intends to attend, naturally very welcome.

Eight o'clock in the evening.

In the summer night, Simon and three well-dressed girls arrived in a long Rolls Royce at the luxury house in East Hampton. The head of the Newhouse family, who controlled a lot of media resources and was once as famous as the Hurst family, welcomed him personally.

"Welcome, Simon. You're going to be the biggest surprise of the party tonight."

"I hope I'm not too abrupt."

"Of course not."

Shiyi Newhouse greets Simon and shakes hands with three gorgeous oriental girls around him one by one. He can't help laughing and admiring.

I really envy you.

This young man, no matter what, is enough to make these old rich people feel envious. Let's say that women, at the level of Newhouse, are certainly not short of women, but the short and ugly Shiyi Newhouse can't let a large number of beautiful women throw themselves into their arms.

After a simple greeting, Shiyi Newhouse took Simon and others into the reception site. As soon as someone entered the villa hall, many eyes gathered around him for the first time, and then they couldn't move away.

When Shi Yi Newhouse saw this situation, he felt uncomfortable at the bottom of his heart, but he couldn't show it.

For this young man who almost destroyed the Hurst family, the Newhouse family dare not neglect him at all. Even though the rise of the Internet dominated by the westero system has been squeezing the living space of traditional print media in recent years, when the gap is growing, no one has any special ideas.

As for the pride of the century old Qian family?

Forget it.

Simon had no airs, and soon joined the crowd.

Over the years, Simon has known all the guests of Newhouse's parties, whether in the fields of fashion, media or finance. For example, Anna Coleman, President of Fashion TV, Anna Wintour, editor in chief of vogue magazine, and Cindy Crawford met at Jerry Hall's house last night.In fact, this kind of circle is very small.

As Simon stayed at Hall's house, he brought three oriental girls to the reception today. Anna Coleman was not surprised. No one could count how many lovers there were in westero. What's more, if other men, especially married men, will inevitably have ups and downs. After getting used to it, many people will take it for granted.

"Jane and the three of them have just signed for elite. Anna, if vogue has the right chance, let them have a try."

"No problem, Simon," Anna Wintour agreed with a smile, and looked at the three girls seriously. "I have to say that they are all very good in shape and temperament, and they will shine in the future. By the way, Simon, are you going to let them go on the last stage of Vimy t?"

"It depends on the specific situation. They have just entered the industry, but they don't walk very well. You know, I'm very strict. "

Anna Wintour said with a smile, "I'm also a very strict person."

"Of course."

Simon and Anna Wintour are chatting, and the three girls of Jianxin are smiling. The three girls' English ability is only satisfied with simple communication, and it is difficult to understand when people around them speak a little faster. However, although she can only be a quail beside a man, the three women are very excited to attend such a party.

It's just Anna Wintour, who has understood what vogue means in the fashion circle. Her eyes shine, not to mention her surroundings. These are the big names in New York City in her mind.

Of course, no matter how big you are, you can't be bigger than the man around you.

So be sure to hold on tight.

Simon was chatting with Wintour, and a slightly old voice came from his side: "Simon, I didn't expect to see you here tonight."

Looking back, it was George Soros with another middle-aged man.

Shake hands with each other, Simon also said: "I didn't expect to see you here, George. I didn't expect you to be interested in fashion?"

"Oh, of course not. I've been talking about things here in the afternoon. Just in the evening, there was a party here, so I came together," George Soros said. He looked at the three vases beside Simon and said, "you're really enviable." after saying that, he introduced the middle-aged man with white hair and black frame glasses around him: "yes, Simon, this is David Rubinstein I'm running a private equity fund with a few other people, Carlyle. Maybe you've heard of it. "

The middle-aged man stepped forward a little and held out his hand to Simon. "Nice to meet you, Mr. westrow."

"Hello, David. Just call me Simon."

David Rubinstein showed just the right expression of honor, and handed over the famous film: "well, Simon, this is my business card."

Simon took it and said with a smile, "I'm sorry, I don't seem to have a business card."

This is the truth.

I've had it before, but I don't know when to start. I don't want to make hair disorderly.

There was nothing wrong with David Rubinstein's expression: "it doesn't matter."

Simon nodded and looked at the card in his hand.

Carlyle Group, combined with the memory of two generations, Simon certainly knows.

Unlike New York, where all kinds of funds are clustered, Carlyle Group is a rare investment company that has made its fortune in Washington. People with keen intuition can probably understand the background of this company only by virtue of this.

The standard combination of government and business capital.

Carlyle Group, which has recruited a large number of former senior officials from Washington as senior executives or consultants, has been engaged in enterprise capital operation in the field of national defense since its establishment in the 1980s. To put it bluntly, it has acquired or acquired shares in companies in relevant fields, and then used its political contacts to draw defense orders for these companies, so as to make profits.

American military industrial groups are not just giants like Loma and Boeing in the eyes of ordinary people. Many important military equipment, such as fighter planes and aircraft carriers, often need hundreds of suppliers, of which the operating space is very large. Just like some news that came to light later, the market price of a warship nut, with the same material and standard, is less than $5, but the price purchased by the Department of defense from suppliers can be as high as $700, a difference of more than 100 times.

As for the reason?

Don't ask.

It's military secrets.

After all, the national defense budget is so abundant that we can't afford to buy hairy crabs all the time. It can only be so bad.

However, compared with a bunch of parasites in the U.S. defense field, Carlyle Group still has an ideal one. Later, it gradually grew and became a big private equity player in the industry, which was comparable with Blackstone, KKR and other companies. And then, after the 2008 financial crisis, we can not escape the fate of decline after the prosperity.

Simon has a deep memory of Carlyle's acquisition of XCMG.

Yeah.

I don't say much about this.

At this time, I didn't expect that Carlyle Group still had a relationship with Soros. Simon was not surprised by this.Soros's close ties with Washington are also well known.

David Rubinstein obviously wanted to talk to Simon more, but he was soon robbed of the initiative by Soros: "Simon, I went to Russia some time ago, I heard you were in Ukraine."

"Yes, a holiday."

Soros showed a helpless expression and glanced at the three vases beside Simon: "Simon, you live in heaven almost every day, do you still use special holiday?"

"Of course, I'll go to Australia for a holiday later."

Simon doesn't really want to take Soros's talk about Russia. If the financial giant jumps out of the Russian financial quagmire starting next year, it's not very good. He's still waiting to help Soros clean up the "mess", such as a state-owned telecom company stock that is likely to be won by Russian oligarch potanin, who is supported by Soros It's a lot.

"In fact, George, I don't have any special plan for many things now. Now I just scatter seeds everywhere, and then wait to see which ones can germinate and grow well, and then pour them into the water. When they bear fruit, everyone will be happy."

When Soros heard this, his expression was cautious and complex: "Simon, I'm a little surprised to hear you say that. Last time you sowed seeds everywhere, and now you can see, igrit, Cisco, AOL... "

Simon is very easy to say: "George, a lot of my actions are in front of me. If you think it's very promising, quantum fund can follow up."

Simon's voice dropped, and David Rubinstein, standing next to Soros, shook his cocktail glass hand.

The gate of the new world.

Soros obviously did not have David Rubinstein's mind at all. His dignified look turned to a wry smile: "that's the problem, Simon. I can't keep up."

After several successive financial attacks, the funds controlled by quantum fund have reached the level of 10 billion US dollars. However, quantum fund is still not enough to control the vistrow system with assets of more than 20000 billion US dollars. Simon said that he is sowing seeds everywhere. Even if he assumes that all the targets are carefully selected by the young man, the quantum fund can't keep up.

Even if the seeds are scattered with a few of them, who knows how to maintain them after they germinate?

Now a series of new technology companies such as igritte seem to have a smooth and irresistible journey. However, if someone could see this prospect at the beginning, and even knew what to do after seeing it, how could it be the turn of this new generation of money who has just risen for a few years to dominate these super giant enterprises with astonishing market value.

All in all, Soros is really a little scared to hear Simon say that he is sowing seeds again.

Soros actually has some problems.

Simon's idea of sowing seeds this time is similar to Jill peckett's arrangement in his villa in Southampton in the evening. Or, the industrial layout of the state of Rovno in Ukraine. Even a little bigger, such as a short man with thin hair in Russia, and so on.

These are no longer the forward-looking layout of new technology industry for several consecutive years after the 87 stock market disaster.

After climbing the summit, Simon, who is really a little confused about the future, has been sowing seeds in a mess in the past two years, so he has no clear expectation of future benefits.

However, many years later, when Simon's "seeds" planted all over the world gradually grew up and almost covered the whole world, it was not just Soros who confirmed that he was scared at this moment. It was true that the whole world was scared at that time.
