"Simon, Daenerys is working on Desperate Housewives recently, do you think I can try the role of Gabriel?"

CK's after-show party.

It was Brooke Smalls who spoke.

The controversial commercial shot by Brooke Shields for CK jeans is well known, and the actress has always maintained a good relationship with CK, so she came to cheer tonight.

After completing the acquisition of New World Entertainment just a few years ago, Simon personally removed the heroine of the comic book adaptation of "Angel God", which originally belonged to Brooke Littles, and he was not at all interested in the actress who won the first Golden Sour Plum Worst Actress Award.

At this time, Brooke Smalls mentioned the "Desperate Housewives" that was being prepared in person, and threw a charming look without a trace, Simon was unmoved, shook his head and smiled: "It's a pity, Brooke, Gabi's character is a Latino." ”

Brooke Shields was not discouraged, and said, "I know Spanish, and it should be no problem to play a Latino." ”

"But," Simon shrugged, dispelling Brooke Shield's thoughts, "the role has been decided." ”

"Okay," Brooke Whisper's expression flashed with some disappointment, glancing at Janet, who was chatting with Cindy Crawford not far away, and quickly slipped a card into Simon's suit pocket, "But, Simon, if there is a suitable role, you can call me at any time." ”

Simon glanced at his breast pocket and said with a hint of teasing, "What if I don't have a chance, Brooke, can I call you?"

Brooke Xiaosi raised her eyebrows slightly, and quickly nodded with a smile: "Of course, I am already looking forward to it now." ”

While chatting, Calvin Klein, the founder of CK, came over and chatted casually, and Brooke Smalls took the initiative to walk away.

After Brooke Smalls left, Calvin Klein asked in a casual tone, "Simon, what do you think of CK's catwalk just now?"

Simon said politely: "Very good design style." ”

"So," Calvin Klein hesitated slightly, but got straight to the point, "CK happens to have some financial troubles lately, and I'm wondering, would you be interested in investing in my company?"

During the show, Janet revealed that Sophia has set her sights on CK and may be in contact in the near future.

Simon didn't expect Calvin Klein to talk to him about it directly.

Shaking his head, Simon said, "Carl, the problem is, I don't know anything about CK. ”

"If you're interested, Simon, it's not a big problem, outside of the main product line, we've recently launched men's underwear and fragrances that are selling very well, but we're a little bit tight on the financial side. If you are willing to invest in CK, I am sure that you will definitely get very good returns in the future. ”

Janet had just said on the runway that CK was on the verge of bankruptcy.

Now, Calvin Klein said that the problem facing the company is not big, Simon certainly doesn't believe it, but he also understands why Klein said this, and if it were him, he would definitely do the same, no matter what, to fool potential investors first.

"I don't need the information, Carl," Simon thought for a moment and said, "I'll take the time to find out privately, and if CK is really worth the investment, I'll have someone contact you again." ”

Calvin Klein is a bit disappointed, having recently been looking for funding for CK to get through the current situation.

Hand over a copy of the information to Westeros, and if the other party is interested in CK, it will be the best. Even if he wasn't interested, he could have gotten a little bit of the tiger skin he was approaching in Westeros to fool the other investors.

It seems that this little trick has been spied on.

Of course, there was nothing unusual in his expression, and Calvin Klein continued to introduce the situation of CK, and then walked away.

After Simon and Crane finished chatting, they also took the initiative to walk to Janet's side.

Janet wasn't short, but that's just a relative aspect, and being around a group of goblins who generally reach six feet in high heels suddenly became a little 'petite'. However, the temperament that a woman has been born in a wealthy family for a long time is not comparable to other girls, coupled with her status at this time, standing in the crowd, it is easy to become the leader of a small circle.

Holding Janet's waist casually, Simon looked at the goblins around him and asked with a smile, "What are you talking about?"

Cindy Crawford looked at Simon with a gleam in her eyes and said, "Women get together, of course, to talk about men." ”

Simon regretted: "It seems that I have missed a lot of wonderful scenes, or you can continue and pretend that I don't exist." ”

Linda Ivangelinsta, who was standing next to Cindy Crawford, said boldly: "But, Simon, you are so dazzling that we can feel your presence with our eyes closed. ”

Simon looked at the legendary supermodel next to Cindy and smiled, "This kind of compliment is too satisfying for a man's vanity, Linda, let's have another one." ”

Linda Ivan Golinsta didn't expect Simon to call her name directly, and said unexpectedly: "Simon, do you know me?"

Simon showed a bad expression: "Oops, exposed, it looks like I'm going to be questioned by Jenny when I go back next." ”

Janet gave Simon a cooperative look and made a 'you wait' expression.

Everyone laughed.

Of course understand that this is just a joke.

If it were to be questioned, the women thought that Janet Westeros might be more interested in what was going on with the 'waist spirit' and the 'leg spirit', and Jasmine Gary and Naga Allman were standing nearby. However, the girls also noticed that Janet did not seem to care about her husband's various laces, and did not show some of the usual instinctive hostility of rich wives.

Maybe this is the opportunity.

After continuing to talk and laugh for a while, seeing that the time was about the same, Simon left the CK party with Janet.

The next day was Sunday.

Although there is no work scheduled, the schedule is full.

The couple traveled to East Hampton, Long Island, in the morning to visit Steve Ross again, and returned in the afternoon, and in the evening it was again a drinking party at the Raybould house, which was attended by many of the top officials on the east coast of the Westeros system.

After the weekend, Simon returned to the West Coast, and Janet remained on the film.

Not only the acquisition of LTD, the parent company of Victoria's Secret, Janet also plans to conduct a financial and personnel review of the companies under the entire Westeros system.

During this period, not only Daenerys Entertainment, but also a series of listed or private companies such as Verizon Telecom, AOL, Melisandre, Igrett, Cersei Capital, Nokia, SUN, Oracle, Cisco, Microsoft, Intel, etc., have released quarterly or annual financial reports one after another.

As the Westeros system grew in size, Simon didn't have the energy or expertise to deal with it, and Janet was in charge of it in the past, and women had extraordinary talent in these things.

During the year of her pregnancy, Janet let go of a lot of things and now picked them all up again.

Just last week, for various reasons, Janet fired more than 30 people within Cersei Capital, and then, some other companies in the Westeros system, as long as there are problems, it is absolutely inevitable that many people will lose their jobs.

Because of this huge pile of work that had been accumulated for almost a whole year, Janet would have to stay on the East Coast for the next few weeks, so Simon needed to fly in from the West Coast to spend the weekend with the woman.

Simon returned to Los Angeles, and after another round of auditions, the four housewives of "Desperate Housewives" were basically finalized.

Four housewives, Susan Mayer is played by Connie Seleka, Bry Van Dikan is played by Sheila Wood, Lynette Skavo is played by Patricia Wendy, and Gabrielle Solis is played by Laura Harling.

The actors of several housewives, Simon is familiar or unfamiliar, but they are very suitable for the image of the four housewives in his memory, and his performance qualifications are richer than the original housewives.

Needless to say, Patricia Wendy, the queen of the three-time Emmy Awards, and Sheila Wood, who was directly slapped by Simon, are not to mention the other Connie Seleka, a 37-year-old woman who looks more mature and sexy than the original Terry Hatchell, debuted in the seventies, although she has never been famous, she has also starred in more than 20 film and television dramas.

Gabby's actor Laura Haring, 26 years old, was born in Mexico, and after immigrating to the United States, she also won the title of "Miss America" in the 1985 Miss America pageant, which is 100% more suitable for Gabby's role than Eva Longoria, who was unknown before becoming famous in the original time and space.

Not only that, Laura Haring actually participated in David Lynch's 2001 "Mulholland Drive" in the original time and space, acting with Naomi Watts.

The four housewives were confirmed, and the selection of the supporting roles for the series was also launched.

In addition, the construction of the Wisteria Street set, which is planned to be set up in Universal Studios, will also start in the near future.

After moving most of the office to Daenerys Studios in Malibu, Universal Studios has vacated a lot of areas, and the operations team was looking for more attractions to use this extra space.

If "Desperate Housewives" can be a hit, the Wisteria Street layout can be a new attraction at Universal Studios.

When all the preliminary preparations are completed, "Desperate Housewives" will be launched in July and officially launched on the USA television network in September.

Because March 13 was Janet's birthday, and the week was only until Thursday, Simon set off for New York again.

New York Fashion Week continues, and Sophia will also fly over this weekend because of some brand events from Gucci and Van Cleef & Arpels, and will also try to reach out to CK.

Having attended CK's catwalks and parties last week, Simon did get a little bit of a glimpse of the company's business as well.

Unlike Calvin Klein's understatement at the party and Simon's understatement, the problem facing CK is actually quite tricky.

Not only was the cash flow problem caused by the economic downturn, but in the 80s, because of the continuous increase in CK's fame, Calvin Klein, who was eager to increase the size of the company and chase more profits, also licensed the CK brand widely without restraint.

To put it simply, it is to allow other manufacturers to OEM the CK trademark.

It is true that OEM operations can increase a company's revenue in the short term, but as long as the business owner has a little long-term vision, he understands that this is not a long-term solution.

Now, Calvin Klein has also reflected that for the sake of the expansion of the headquarters and the brand's reputation, Klein has been trying to withdraw the OEM license in the past two years, which has led to a series of disputes and lawsuits.

Of course, combined with the information in his memory, Simon could see that these problems were indeed temporary.

As long as we get through a series of difficulties in front of us, CK will have a very good development prospect. Simon's memory of CK being a first-tier luxury brand until many years later is enough to prove this.

However, no one can see the future like Simon, and most of the capital that can help CK get through the storm sees only a mess of the company, which may come to a meeting at any time, and CK is deeply affected by the economic downturn in the United States, and many companies in the United States are actually the same, so they will be very cautious when investing.

All in all, it's a good opportunity to pick up the slack.

Sophia Fesse made her first contact with Calvin Klein on Saturday, March 14.

Melisandre doesn't plan to take CK completely, and she has no plans to replace Calvin Klein, the head of CK.

Founded more than 20 years ago, although there are many current problems, Calvin Klein has been able to build CK from scratch to its current size, and there is no doubt about his own ability.

However, Melisandre's demand is also to take at least more than half of CK's shares and achieve absolute control of the company.

Calvin Klein took the initiative to mention the capital injection with Simon at last week's party, and there was no response for a whole week, originally thinking that the super-rich man was not interested in CK, and Sophia Fesse's contact seemed to be a turning point, but it also made the other party have the idea of waiting for the price to sell.

Melisandre directly demanded an absolute controlling stake in CK, which probably no company founder would want to see, even though Calvin Klein himself did not have much of a stake in CK.

In recent years, Gucci has risen rapidly, and the subsequent acquisition of Van Cleef & Arpels has also developed rapidly, Melisandre has become a banner in the luxury industry, not to mention, Melisandre is also backed by the Westeros system of behemoths, so the company that Melisandre wants to buy will definitely be very interesting to other capital.

However, Sophia did not give Calvin Klein a chance to sell.

After the two sides contacted, Sophia only gave Calvin Klein one day to think about it, either to agree to the acquisition offer of Melisandre Absolutte, or to abandon the business outright.

This was actually instructed by Simon and learned from Warren Buffett.

Because of Berkshire Hathaway's reputation in the investment industry, companies that Buffett is interested in often receive offers from the other party and sell them at a price. Therefore, Warren Buffett often gives the target very little time to think about it in the process of business talks, so as to avoid the other party taking Berkshire's name and asking for a price.

Daenerys Entertainment started using this trick early on when it came to acquiring the rights to the script.

Simon has created a huge business empire in just six years, and the current Westeros system is far more famous than Berkshire Hathaway.

Therefore, if Westeros and its subsidiaries want to acquire a company, it will often attract the attention of other capital, so they have to adopt an 'ultimatum' similar to Buffett's.
