Chapter 1049

Boston, a golf club in the west suburb of the city.

It's already Saturday afternoon.

I had some work in New York yesterday, and I came here in the evening to accompany Maria who was just pregnant. Now she is Maria bezruk. On the other side of ulijana, because she thought the original surname of a woman was long, winding and unpleasant, she simply continued to call her melitskova.

Simon is playing golf with Maria's three boys again. Girl a comes from a distance to remind the guests that she has arrived.

Beckoning the three boys to continue, Simon leaves the court and goes to the cafe on the edge of the court.

In the coffee shop, besides Maria, who was accompanied by him as usual, there was a tall middle-aged man, who looked 40 or 50 years old, with short brown hair, and the typical long round face in the archives of most members of the Mellon family that Simon had just read today.

This is Timothy Mellon.

Although he looks young, he is 54 years old. He is the fourth great grandson of Thomas Mellon, the founder of the Mellon family. He is also the grandson of Andrew W. Mellon, the US Treasury Secretary, who brought the Mellon family to its peak in the 1920s and 1930s.

Most importantly, he is also the fourth generation core of the Mellon family. He not only controls a large transportation company, but also is a director of the Andrew W. Mellon foundation. At the same time, he and his father Paul Mellon are listed in this year's US 400 rich list, with assets of US $1.1 billion and US $500 million respectively.

Seeing Simon appear, Timothy Mellon first got up, welcomed him with a smile, and offered to reach out and say, "Hi, Simon, nice to meet you, but I've been looking forward to it for a long time."

Simon is also very enthusiastic: "me too, Timothy, hello."

Looking on, Maria sees two men pretending to be snakes. The women who already know why the meeting is going on can't help feeling a little tangled. They don't know if they hope that their children will do the same or can do the same in the future.

When the two men sat down, Maria didn't accompany them. She helped them pour coffee and left the cafe with girl a and several other attendants.

"I've read the family tree of the Mellon family recently. It's amazing to say that," Simon said to Timothy Mellon after the women left. Their smile remained unchanged. "From Mr. Thomas Mellon's 1813 to now 1996, the Mellon family is still prosperous for nearly two centuries. In my opinion, the Mellon family is deeper than the Rockefeller family Thick. "

"Oh, thank you, Simon."

Timothy Mellon responded with a smile and took a sip of coffee to cope with changes.

Simon waited for Timothy to put down his coffee cup before he continued, "but do you know what I admire most about Mr. Thomas Mellon?"

"Well?"

"What I admire most is that Mr. Mellon has eight children. In fact, this is also my expectation. Now I also hope that I can have many children, and that my descendants will be prosperous, and that the surname "westero" will be passed on, because I believe that a single person's life, only if you live long enough, is the winner, and a family, only if their descendants are prosperous enough, is the winner of the world. "

Timothy Mellon obviously didn't expect Simon westrow to talk to himself about this Some strange topics, waiting for the young man to finish, finally couldn't help saying: "Simon, I'm more curious why you invited me today. We didn't have much in common before, so why not order directly?"

"In fact, that's what I'm going to talk about," Simon said, handing over a document on the table, and then said, "it's not easy for any family to continue for a long time, just like Morgan, which was tied with Rockefeller in those years. Now, except for the names of the big companies on Wall Street, the family has declined. Oh, by the way, there are also the Hurst family. It's a pity that the last two years have happened. In fact, my initial expectation was to establish a good cooperative relationship with the Hurst family. Unfortunately, I'm a nouveau riche, obviously not a respectable old man like hurst. "

Timothy Mellon doesn't have to listen to Simon's last intention. He just opens up a pile of information in front of him, and his eyelids can't help jumping.

First of all, there are some photos in the folder.

One of them is the woman with glasses who just left.

Then there was a draft headline: "scandal, two Ukrainian lovers in westero are all pregnant!"

Turning back, Timothy Mellon quickly understood the whole story.

this report is a covert investigation conducted by two journalists in the Pittsburgh Tribune over Pittsburgh, including various videotaping, recording and high price buying of data obtained from a private hospital.

However, it is not these that shocked Timothy Mellon the most. Instead, the whole investigation process of the two journalists was carefully recorded by other "eyes", including how their cousin Richard Mellon skeev instructed them, who the two journalists contacted, and even the explosive manuscript will be used as the arrangements for next Monday's blockbuster news.Not only that, in the second half of the material, the painting style suddenly changed into the privacy of his stupid cousin, a bunch of lovers and illegitimate children.

After reading the materials in his hand, Timothy Mellon felt that a layer of cold sweat had appeared on his back, and he could not help scolding his cousin. Was he going to fight Simon westrow like the Hurst family? What's more, is it going to take the whole Mellon family to war?

Simon quietly waited for Timothy Mellon to close the folder. Seeing that he was hesitant and obviously didn't know how to open his mouth, he took the lead in saying, "maybe the reason is that your cousin thought I didn't respect him enough at the last cocktail party I came to Boston. It's easy to understand that the Mellon family, as an old family of the Federation, should be respectful to anyone. All in all, he probably wanted to teach me a lesson. "

Timothy Mellon stopped and said, "Simon, actually, Charlie and I are not very close. Since you have read the genealogy, you should know that our family is very large. Richard is only the grandson of my grandfather and brother. We are only the fourth generation."

Simon raised his eyebrows slightly. "So you can't handle this?"

"No, no, of course not. I promise it won't appear in the paper next Monday."

"I know that Mr. Schiff has spent millions of dollars in recent years to dig into the president's black stuff, and he has gained a lot. However, as you can see now, the White House has not suffered any fundamental damage. On the contrary, Clinton's position has become more and more stable, which has proved that these indecent means are useless. Since it's useless to the president, a public figure who needs love, it's certainly useless to me. "

Timothy Mellon listened patiently. He had scolded a cousin a hundred times in his heart. After a pause, he still had to say, "Simon, I I'll apologize for you on behalf of Charlie. If you think it's necessary, I'll ask him to apologize to you personally. "

Although the strength of the Mellon family is even higher than that of the Rockefeller family, Timothy Mellon is also more aware of the power of Simon westrow, who is worth $1.5 trillion. If there is a real conflict, even though westrow will be disheartened, the Mellon family will definitely be reduced to the same level as the Hurst family We are in a better position.

All in all, this soft, have to take.

Simon stares at Timothy Mellon, but shakes his head: "I believe in another rule, Timothy. If you do something wrong, you must be punished. Apology is not enough."

Timothy Mellon looked at the information in front of him and said, "the two journalists who investigated this will be fired and will never be able to enter the industry."

"Not enough," Simon shook his head again and said directly, "since Mr. skefe wants to publish a big story about me in the Pittsburgh Tribune next Monday, if you want him not to do so, turn off the paper."

When Timothy Mellon saw that he apologized and gave in, the other side was still pushing forward. With the pride of a hundred year old Qian's son surging up, he also looked at the young man opposite and said, "Simon, don't you think this is too much?"

Despite the rapid decline of print media, the Pittsburgh Tribune is worth at least $50 million as a newspaper with the same circulation as the Pittsburgh news. How can it be possible to shut down a newspaper worth half a billion just because of a trivial matter?

Simon did not directly answer Timothy Mellon's question, but said: "I checked in advance. According to the Forbes 400 list in 1990, nine members of the Mellon family were on the list, and the total assets of the family were about 5 billion. This year, there are only six people left on the Meron list, and you are the last one. Timothy, have you ever thought that next year, or the year after that, the number of people in your family will continue to decrease, just like the Hurst family? "

"Simon, are you threatening me?"

Simon did not hesitate: "that's right."

“……”

After a moment's silence, Timothy Mellon suddenly said, "Simon, don't forget about Pittsburgh two years ago."

Simon shook his head and said, "I don't know what you're talking about, but it must be a terrible thing. But, Timothy, have you ever thought, why do you all know about this? Is it because, in fact, someone deliberately let you know, so that everyone can understand how much the other party will do once they are completely angered? "

Timothy Mellon is silent again.

Simon's tone returned to normal, and soon said again: "Timothy, as a poor boy climbing up from the bottom step by step, I know better than all of you what the law of the jungle is. I never treat my friends badly. But if I become an enemy, I never have anything here called benevolence, and I will only kill the other party at all costs. Now, today's incident is just a small friction for me. We are neither friends nor enemies. At the same time, we still have the chance to be friends or enemies. It all depends on how the Mellon family plans to choose. Next Monday, give me a result. "

Maria goes back to the cafe with girl A. Timothy Mellon has left.Simon stood up, looked at girl a putting away the information on the table, and said, "change Mary to a private clinic. In addition, the leaked cheles hospital, a, contacted their board of directors, the president dismissed the doctor involved, and tried to throw her into prison. If she had no flaws, she would go to her husband, or her son, or her parents and brothers. "

Girl a nodded and agreed softly.

Maria was a little nervous: "Simon, I don't think it's necessary."

Simon came forward, reached for the woman's smooth face, rubbed it, looked at the woman's blue eyes and said, "in this world, you can't be too much to others, you will only let them be more and more too much to you."

Maria felt that the man's palm began to slide to her neck, raised her hand and pressed it with a blush, and subconsciously looked out of the window at the other side of the court, not to mention Simon's decision.

Seeing that the woman was shy, Simon put back his hand with a smile and walked out and said, "I'll go back to New York next time. Take care of yourself."

Maria followed Simon, nodded and said, "you, Simon, ulia have two children, too."

"Think I'm too partial to victor and them?"

Maria did not answer.

How obvious.

But, as the mother of three boys, Maria naturally wants her little man to be better to her children.

Simon didn't speak to Maria and didn't go on.

When he came to the field outside, the three boys who had been informed also came. Simon rubbed the smallest Anton's head and said, "I'm leaving. Take care of your mother. What's more, you three can continue to fight about the last fight between kang'en and your mother. Then I'll deal with their parents. "

Maria saw that the little man mentioned the fight between his second son Constantine and his classmates some time ago. She was just a little worried. When she heard that, she couldn't help staring at him and said, "Simon, you can't teach bad children."

Simon ignored and continued to say to the three boys, "if you have any problems in study, you can go to your mother, and the others will listen to me. Of course, you should also remember that only when you are on the right side will I support you without any reason. If you deliberately cause trouble, you should consider whether you can bear it before you do it. What's more, the support I give you is not permanent. You will grow up one day. At that time, I hope you will become men who can bear everything on your own. "

Maria was relieved when she heard this.

Men don't teach their children to be bullies.

However, considering the incident some time ago, the boy fighting with his son was not only dropped out of school, but also his father, who was the president of a large company, lost his job. The whole family came to apologize and plead. Even she couldn't help but feel soft hearted. But, probably the matter passed to him through the maid around him, and then I don't know what happened. In a word, that family never appeared in front of her again.

Finally, Simon took Maria and the children home before returning to New York by helicopter.

There are plans for tonight.

This is mainly because the stage play "this man is from the earth" started some time ago, which is also an important part of the phenomenal science fiction at the beginning of last year.

In a word, the famous Broadway is not just a classic such as phantom of the opera and cat. Many Hollywood films will be adapted into stage plays and performed on Broadway. Once successful, they will tour in San Francisco, London, Paris and other places outside New York.

Just like this time, the 3D version of the lion king, produced by Denise entertainment, was released at the end of 1993. Not only did the global box office exceed 900 million US dollars, but also the stage play was launched at the end of last year and it was a great success. So far, the box Office of the tour around the world in one year has exceeded 300 million US dollars.

This is just the beginning.

The former "Lion King" was still on tour until 20 years later, and the cumulative box office of the stage drama even exceeded the legendary "phantom of the opera", reaching more than $6 billion.

Although the profit margin of stage plays, which need to pay high rents and actors' salaries, is relatively low, the phenomenal peripheral income that can last for decades is actually the essence of a large studio. Danielis entertainment has just made a net profit of more than US $5 billion in the past fiscal year because the diversified Omni channel operation of the whole group is becoming more and more mature.

Besides, this man is from the earth. The reason why we plan to attend tonight is that the heroine is Alexandra Martinis, the princess of the Golden Rose cave, who Simon brought back from Italy.

Unlike the lion king, which has a huge investment and needs professional singing and dancing, "this man from Earth" focuses on dialogue and has low requirements for actors. Alexandra is more than enough to play this role.

And then I made an appointment to spend the night with the women after the show.

Because all around pregnant women and abstinence for a period of time, tonight can relax.
