Simon gave enough support for the performance of the National Style Art Troupe, whether it was a top-level choreographer support team, extravagant costume and prop customization, or a world-class performance venue such as the Metropolitan Opera in New York, but after the official performance, it was up to the market to have the final say.

If the girls' performances are not recognized by the audience and the attendance rate is too low, then end the show early, and Simon will definitely not do anything out of his own pocket to give away free tickets or anything like that.

In fact, Simon's inner attitude towards the public performance of the National Style Art Troupe is to love to watch it or not, because it was originally intended to be a performance that was only intended to be enjoyed by one person in private, and Simon felt that it was a loss to see Simon to outsiders. Therefore, except for people close to him such as Joseph Schlap who took the initiative to ask for it, Simon would let people give away a few, and the other tickets were sold by the Metropolitan Opera itself.

However, because the gossip of the National Wind Art Troupe as Simon Westeros' private singing and dancing team has long been quietly spread, driven by curiosity, even if the ticket price of the National Wind Art Troupe is much higher than other performances after Simon's personal intervention, it will inevitably cause a grand occasion that the first performance is hard to get a ticket.

As for the next, it still depends on market feedback.

Although surrounded by a group of big goblins, Simon still didn't stay at the party for long, and only stayed for less than half an hour before leaving with Girl A, who had been here all morning.

On the other hand, Instagram's first-day stock price trend is still in the spotlight.

In this way, until 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the North American stock market closed, and Instagram's final first-day stock price was fixed at a high of $27.61, compared with the issue price of $11.50, the first-day increase finally reached 141%, and the closing market value was as high as $16.2 billion, which is equivalent to a direct increase of $10 billion in market value in a single day compared to the valuation of about $6 billion.

Instagram's total share capital before going public was 530 million shares, of which Lady D held about 240 million shares.

At the beginning, the six daughters of A-girl, C-girl, Indian girl, little Jenny, waist essence, and leg essence who were the initial investors with D-girl, each took 5% of the shares, and in recent years, according to whether they participated in the management to obtain stock awards and whether they participated in the subscription before the IPO, etc., it can be said that there are many or less, but they are basically around 15 million shares.

As a result, according to Instagram's closing stock price of $27.61 on the first day of listing, D-Girl's personal net worth reached $6.6 billion, which is enough to squeeze into the top 20 of the 400 richest people in the United States. As for the other six girls, just with about 15 million shares in their hands, their personal net worth exceeded 400 million US dollars in a single day, which is actually equivalent to all of them entering the threshold of the Forbes American 400 rich list.

This is the Internet's unparalleled ability to create wealth.

Stimulated by the battle on the first day of Instagram's listing, the Nasdaq index finally rose by 1.32% in a single day, continuing to soar to 5,739 points, getting closer and closer to the 6,000-point threshold, and the total market value of all stocks in the entire Nasdaq sector also reached a new high, reaching $6.7 trillion.

Among them, the leading company Igret, the stock price rose by 1.61% in a single day, with a closing market value of 663.5 billion US dollars, continuing to ride the dust.

Cisco, which ranked second, exceeded $500 billion in market value for the first time today, becoming the third U.S. stock market to exceed $500 billion in market capitalization after Igrete and Daenerys, up 2.12% on the day and closing with a market value of $511.3 billion.

After the U.S. election in early November, because of Clinton's re-election, the continuity of Washington's policy was ensured, which made the market temporarily positive, and then began to fluctuate because of Wall Street's renewed fears of the collapse of the Nasdaq market, until today's Instagram listing, the miracle of the day of the listing, so that the new technology sector was activated again.

The next day was Saturday, December 7, and the North American stock market was closed.

The North American media has basically reported yesterday's spike in Instagram's first day of trading, but for some, the crisis is getting closer.

Simon took a rare break and rushed to Manhattan in the morning.

The main thing is to watch the last makeup rehearsal before the start of tonight's performance of the National Style Art Troupe, accompanied by Celia Miller, who just came from Washington yesterday.

Regarding the establishment of Rivni as a free trade zone, after the assassination of Scherban last month, the Kiev authorities, which meant that the Westeros system must have something to ask for, did not refuse, but showed great cooperation.

So things are much easier.

Of course, the process will take months to complete.

The main thing is that the free trade zone is actually a two-way street, not that a country can set up one of its own regions as a free trade area, so that it can trade freely, but to sign a free trade agreement with the target countries of all parties. However, compared with the WTO agreement, the free trade zone is always a unilateral concession by a country, so it is much easier to manage.

"I met with Mickey Kanter yesterday, and Washington has no objection to signing this agreement with Ukraine, but Mickey has objected to us bringing China in as well. China is currently in talks to join the WTO, and presumably, Washington wants it to enjoy the benefits of this regard after China's accession to the WTO. ”

Inside the hall of the Metropolitan Opera.

Simon and Celia sat in the offstage seats with only a handful of spectators, watching the rehearsal performance on stage, and asked, "Is this mandatory, or is it just a common offer?"

"It's just an ordinary proposal," Celia looked at the oriental girl on the stage, and immediately roughly understood the intention of her boss, and said: "Then we will ignore it, in fact, Rivni established a free trade zone, China is an important importer of raw materials, we must not be able to hide, at the same time, Rivni's main target market is Western Europe, so to speak, it is to pull the federation experience, it seems very unnecessary." ”

Simon nodded slightly, very satisfied with Celia's position, if she considered the problem at the national level of the United States, rather than the interests of the Westeros system as the first choice, Simon would have to consider taking the other party.

Stance matters.

Simon doesn't force others too much to take his own stance, but if one is in the Westeros system, one has to call oneself a 'Westerosian'.

Speaking of which, as Celia said, the main market for the Rivni Free Trade Zone must be Western Europe, and if it is not for the United States to be brought in with some very important symbolic meaning, there is no need at all. On the other hand, because the light industry base in Eastern Europe is too weak, and the cost of all aspects of Western Europe is too high, in all aspects of raw materials, China is undoubtedly the most important import object, of course, the current Southeast Asia can actually be, but after 1997, the Southeast Asian economy suffered a devastating blow, and then there is nothing then.

After a few more conversations, Simon asked about something else: "How much share will we get this time about strengthening the African garrison?"

Personal military assistant, this is Celia's most important title.

Listening to her boss's question, Celia sorted out a little, and quickly said: "In recent years, some other forces have quietly set up mercenaries, not surprisingly, we can only get a mercenary quota of 1,500 people this time, plus orders from other aspects, the annual contract value in Africa is about 100 million US dollars." ”

Simon nodded, still having to sigh at the trenches of the US military. 510 Literature

Compared with the US defense budget of nearly $250 billion in 1996, $100 million is certainly not much, but things are afraid of comparison, just talk about Ukraine, the current annual defense budget is equivalent to less than $1 billion, but it is to support more than 200,000 troops. The 1,500 people in the Westeros system can get 100 million US dollars, of course, there are some other orders that are not enough for outsiders, but it is enough to show that the US military spends money like water.

Of course, on the other hand, it also means that Simon's layout in the US military has been effective.

After all, Simon never thought of making money through the Uyghur private army, let alone the ugly Bush administration in his memory, so he only said that the $100 million a year on the African side, in addition to the salary and other costs of the mercenaries, has to be paid to various advisers of the Uyghur private army who are responsible for matchmaking, but in any case, being able to get orders from the U.S. military is itself a symbol of strength.

Otherwise, anyone is not qualified to cooperate with the US military.

The benefits of this layout are clear.

The closer the ties between the U.S. military and the U.S. military, and the closer the network of interests, the less likely it is to be discovered by the outside world, as in the case of the cooperation agreement reached with the CIA earlier, which will involve state secrets. If there is any trouble in the future, a state secret will be like the national security of the United States, which has almost become a stumbling block.

Moreover, even if someone wants to investigate, the Wei family private army will not have any illegal operations, or that sentence, Simon has never thought about making money from it, and even keeps sticking money in, how can it be violated. As for some people who really benefit a lot from it, if they have the guts, they will look it up.

Anyway, in the decades of his previous life, Simon had never seen any scandals involving the US military being investigated in depth, and they were basically big things and small things.

The two chatted, and a group dance ended on stage.

Between the start of the next dance, a girl turned backstage and came to Simon boldly, but it was Chen Xingwei.

The girl came to Simon and asked with some trepidation, "Simon, how did I dance?"

"Great," Simon said, patting himself on the thigh, "Come on, sit here." ”

Chen Xingwei glanced at Celia, did not refuse, stepped forward and sat on Simon's lap, felt a big hand around his waist, obediently pasted it, and said, "I'm so nervous, tonight, I'm really worried that I will mess up." ”

"What's there to worry about," Simon said with a smile as he looked at the stage and said, "as long as you perform at your normal level." ”

Chen Xingwei still couldn't help but say: "This is the Metropolitan Opera House, what if the audience doesn't like it?"

Simon smiled and kissed the girl on the neck, and said, "They don't like it, that is, they don't have vision, as long as I like it." ”

The man's kiss was very light, but Chen Xingwei still felt a little hot in his body, so he took the initiative to return a kiss before he said again: "By the way, Simon, now...... It's the end of the year on the Chinese side, and I, can we go back to China during the Chinese New Year?"

"Of course, by the way, what day is Chinese New Year's Eve this year?"

"February 6th. ”

"Then there is no problem, you have a total of 9 performances, and it will be over by the end of January at the latest, if the audience doesn't like it, then you can close the stall after five or six performances, and you will definitely be able to go back in the New Year." ”

Chen Xingwei heard Simon say this, but he was a little present.

The word 'stall' used by men is really not very auspicious. Even if Simon has said more than once that it's okay to mess up, but none of the people in the Guofeng Art Troupe have felt this way in the past half a year, after all, in today's life, all girls feel like heaven, even if there will be a few who feel at ease, but most of them still have a certain idea in their hearts.

If you don't give, you don't get it back.

Therefore, for a man's 'picking', the girls basically have an expectant attitude, taking it for granted.

As for this performance, the same is true.

Thinking of this, Chen Xingwei couldn't help but be a little envious of Li Youhu, who was still filming "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" in China, that girl was really lucky, she just entered this circle, and she went straight out of the circle, and if nothing else, she would soon become a big star. And they, even if they are absolutely satisfied with their current life, occasionally inevitably think about what they will do in the future?

After all, the man around him will definitely not be able to raise them for a lifetime, maybe when he loses interest in them, or even, he is just tired of it, and if he wants to change to a new batch of girls, they can only withdraw from his sight.

And, losing everything now.

This is also how it should be, the current days are too good, and their efforts are not proportional at all, how can it be long?

Simon didn't know the mind of the woman in his arms, so he didn't discuss too sensitive issues with Celia anymore, and began to watch the performance on the stage more attentively, and then, he found that Chen Xingwei successfully sat on Simon's lap, of course, Wei Sancha, who was unwilling that she could please a man more, also walked over with several girls who were eaten by Simon last time, even if the man's arms were occupied, he still sat in front of Simon.

Wei Sancha successfully grabbed a spot on Simon's left, fumbled around the man's arm and hugged him, and said something else: "Simon, Caisu, well, she can't use that name now, anyway, her business, do you know?"

Simon nodded.

The girl who left the National Wind Art Troupe after the last time she fell in love.

In fact, Simon didn't care much about this, the girls around him must have felt that the girl was 'kicked out', but in fact, it was just that after the other party fell in love, she was no longer suitable for this circle, that's all.

Wei Sancha carefully looked at Simon's expression, and leaned towards the man a little bit with his slender body, which was only wearing a close-fitting dance costume to make it easier to change, before he said again: "She, she was dumped by that boyfriend, and that guy was also biased, well, Caisu's savings." ”

Simon just hummed, lifted the arm that was snatched by the girl, pinched her delicate little chin, and said softly, "Don't talk about this." ”
