"Also, an email from Ms. Pascal, where Arnold Schwarzenegger visited Joe Ross last night and offered to reboot Terminator. After being rejected, Arnold tested Fox to see if he was interested in selling the rights, and he wanted to contact other studios to collaborate on the project. ”

Simon, who was reading a copy of the Washington Post, heard Girl A say this, and ordered, "In that case, let them talk, and set the price as high as possible." ”

Although Arnold rejected Jumanji's game last year, Simon has no problem with the actor either.

Still the same as Mike Myers.

The more hot stars in Hollywood, the more bargaining room Daenerys Entertainment has to choose.

Of course, except for some filmmakers who had irreconcilable contradictions due to various discords earlier, Simon now has no feeling for these guys who are gradually disappearing from Hollywood's vision, and some people can't even remember it, but they will definitely not let go of the ban on each other.

Alison paused, looked at his boss who was still staring at the newspaper in front of him, and said, "If "Terminator" is restarted, it will definitely be a blockbuster, and it may compete with similar projects of ours in the future. ”

Simon looked up at Girl A and said with a smile: "Even if I stop it, there will definitely be other big-budget movies appearing, so it's better to launch a project that we expected." In fact, the box office after the reboot of "Terminator" will definitely not be too bad, but the cost of this project will definitely be high, hmm...... You remember to remind Amy that if Arnold invites Cameron to continue to participate, don't stop it, we have to take the initiative to facilitate it, so that the third part will definitely not be able to do it without $150 million, which will occupy a lot of resources of our competitors. ”

Girl A quickly figured out the joints, nodded, wrote down on the memo, and suggested: "Boss, the comprehensive copyright value of the Terminator is very high, in addition to movies, it can also develop TV, games and other products, and our game department has launched two very good sales of "Terminator" adapted shooting games in recent years. So, I don't think we need to sell the rights, just grant the right to shoot, and it's a single shot. ”

"Good idea. ”

The two discussed various work matters, and it was not until the Indian girl Aliya came over to remind her that it was time for breakfast, and Simon got up from the sofa by the curtain wall.

Today is Saturday.

After breakfast, Simon didn't leave to go to work again.

But he was not idle.

After breakfast, after a while of the little ones, Simon left the Shell Villa and went with Janet to another villa on the northwest side of the Cape Dumei Manor, on the shore of an artificial lake.

The artificial lake has just been excavated in the first half of the year, and it has an irregular oval shape and covers an area of about two hectares.

The main thing is to give the two mallards of the baby son a place to rest.

Slightly larger mansions in Los Angeles will have independent swimming pools, artificial lakes are rare, mainly not in line with the planning of Western luxury houses, and Los Angeles is actually a very water-scarce area, maintaining an artificial lake and maintaining a swimming pool are definitely two different concepts.

It's like this one at Cape Dume.

To prevent the artificial lake from becoming a stagnant pool, several University of California biology professors were invited to design a miniature ecosystem before the project was excavated, and six additional water purification units were installed 24 hours a day. The environment around the artificial lake has also been completely rebuilt to ensure that it is in harmony with the surrounding environment.

The Lakeside Villa is a minimalist two-storey fiberglass structure building that looks even more like an office building.

In fact, it is used for office.

The couple went to the terrace where they could enjoy a good view of the nearby pool and the Shell Villa a little further away, and soon someone began to send documents of various types of materials.

These are the latest information from the Westeros family's private intelligence team.

From an outsider's point of view, after marrying Simon, Janet seems to have become a housewife who doesn't care about the world, but in fact, Jennifer is the one who became a housewife after giving birth to Seattle.

As for Janet, although she is always lazy and lazy, she is in charge of two of the most important affairs of the Westeros family.

One is finance.

The absolute control of Cersei Capital is still firmly in the hands of the Simons, and Simon is only making some direction of operation according to the general trend in his memory, but Janet is the specific operator of many layouts, and she also completely controls the vital hedge fund team, which is why Apollo Management and Black Rock Asset Management have executives like Leon Black and Lawrence Fink coming up, but Cersei Fund Management does not seem to have too prominent executives.

Because that person was Janet.

In addition to the financial business, another is the Westeros family's private intelligence team.

Simon has never relaxed his emphasis on the family's private intelligence team, and now that this intelligence network has spread all over the world, it is unknown how many potential troubles and threats it has helped the Westeros family solve in recent years. After all, trillions of wealth, every moment will not lack covetous eyes, even if only one thousandth of a thousandth of them are put into action, and the combination is a constant trouble for the Westeros family.

With the continuous improvement of the Westeros family's private intelligence system, similar potential troubles have all been quietly and successfully blocked, and there has never been an attempted assassination close to the Westeros family members as two years ago.

In order to do this, it is certainly not possible to simply walk in the gray area.

In fact, the current private intelligence team of the Westeros family is far more than a group of professional agents in the shadows, but also quietly infiltrated into the direct security team and maid guard team around the Westeros family, the security departments of various subsidiaries, the private armed forces of the Westeros family, various gangs that have gone global with the Ukrainian gangs, a large number of mini private investigation and consulting companies that have nothing to do with the Westeros family, and even the staff of enterprises and governments in various countries, and so on.

Intricately linked.

With the expansion of the Westeros system, Simon simply did not have enough energy to deal with such a huge intelligence network in real time, and such a large network could not be handed over to outsiders, so Janet took over. Janet also understands what this big net means to the Westeros system, so she is more attentive than Cersei Capital. And women have smart enough brains to deal with this big net, just like playing chess, and they are at ease.

On the terrace of the lakeside villa at this time.

Janet, who was reading various recent intelligence documents with Simon, was no longer as giggling as usual, and she was not tired of being by Simon's side, and the two sat opposite each other, discussing and discussing from time to time.

"I remember that before the election, we helped Clinton deal with some of the beginnings and tails of the Whitewater incident, but I didn't expect this matter to be picked up, or is it a sensitive moment like this?"

"You also say 'some,' the Republican Party has found an insider who hasn't been bought out by us, and all we can do now is pick ourselves out," Janet said, looking up at Simon, "The best way to do this is to vaporize the world." ”

"Alas, more and more I found out that we are really a family. ”

"Hmph. ”

Simon smiled and shook his head: "Actually, there are some methods that you can try not to use." Or for our own sake, if we keep lowering our bottom line, others will definitely lower our bottom line against us. ”

Janet snorted, but said, "I didn't plan to use it, but if you look at this, I think some people may not be able to help it." ”

Simon took the folder handed over by Janet and saw a candid photo, followed by notes, one of which was the personal assistant of an FBI Republican official, and the other was the wife of White House legal counsel Vincent Foster.

It was clearly a secret personal contact.

When Simon saw the name Vincent Foster, he immediately thought of the White House official who 'committed suicide' because of the Whitewater case in his memory.

Unlike the Paula Jones case, which mainly involves the president's personal morality, if the whitewater case suspected of land transaction fraud is confirmed, Clinton will really face a high-risk impeachment in Congress, which is much higher than the farce-like zipper-door impeachment, so it will certainly not have an outcome.

Closing the information with an indifferent expression, Simon said: "Let's ignore this matter, just watch from the sidelines." I don't think the two parties would have deliberately involved us now, as long as they were smart enough. ”

Jenny nodded.

In fact, it is not easy to get involved.

After all, even if the original operations were picked up, it would not be easy to get to the bottom of the Westeros family.

After the midterm elections two years ago, Simon was quite restrained in the political field, and Clinton did not intervene in various scandals, in fact, he was sending a message: Don't mess with me, I won't provoke you.

Putting this matter aside, Janet said again: "Do you remember the last time the Clintons accessed a large number of Republican congressmen from the FBI?"

Simon was flipping through some reports of events on the Ukrainian side and asked, "Have you been doing this again lately?"

"Yes," said Janet, "I missed the last opportunity, and this time, we just happened to save a batch of copies." ”

"Be careful. ”

"Uh-huh," Jenny nodded, "How's it going over there in Ukraine?"

Simon gestured out of the terrace, "It's like a lawn, if you don't mow it regularly, weeds will definitely grow over, and you can't avoid it." ”

After all, it's not in front of you, and after a little time, there will always be people who are restless.

This is also 'human nature'.

Simon's attitude is to cut the weeds as soon as they come out.

Ukraine is an important part of some of his layouts and cannot afford to be missed.

Janet didn't ask in detail, but said: "I saw last week that Lazarenko has been confirmed as the new prime minister, and he will take office at the end of the month, and the Ukrainian political scene will definitely be more lively in the future." ”

"It's good to mess around. ”

"Actually, I'm most interested in that woman," Janet raised her head to look at Simon again, "Didn't she show favor to you, tsk, with your character, with her conditions, you wouldn't be interested?"

Simon knew that Janet was talking about a certain Ukrainian 'Iron Lady', so he smiled and said, "I'm afraid that after she shows favor to me, she will show favor to other women in the blink of an eye." You know, I'm a very possessive man, and I can't stand that. ”

"That's because you didn't accept others, if you accept her overtures, maybe she will be yours alone in the future. ”

"Maybe, I'll try it next time. ”

"Little bastard," Janet came up with an affectionate nickname that she hadn't used for a long time, and quickly turned back to the topic: "That African Victor Merissis is quite capable, not only did he take over a large part of our land in Angola, but he also took the initiative to contact Savimbi and reached an agreement with the other party to live in peace." ”

Simon nodded: "I'm also very optimistic, now I just hope that he won't do something beyond our expectations, so that in a few years, most of the affairs of the African side can be handed over to the other party." ”

"What was more than expected?"

"You know, all his family members died in the war in Angola, and people with hatred, even if they appear right, will inevitably do something irrational at some point. ”

When Janet heard this, she suddenly blinked her eyes and stared at a guy opposite for a moment: "Simon, then, what about you?"

Simon glanced at Janet suspiciously, "What am I?"

"You...... Do you still have hatred in your heart?"

"Nope. ”

"Really?"

"Really. ”

"I don't believe it," Janet still stared at Simon like a cat, "you must still hate your aunt all the time." ”

"Not really. ”

"Actually...... It's nothing to hate, but there are some things that are really inappropriate. ”

Simon looked up at Janet again, and said firmly, "I really don't hate." ”

"I don't believe it. ”

“......”

"Actually, you can sneak into some alternatives. ”

Simon put down the folder in his hand, thought for a while, and asked, "Have you talked to Ray and her about what happened back then?"

Janet shook her head.

"So there are some things you don't know," Simon said, hesitating slightly, "there was actually hatred at the beginning, but, well, the hated person is dead." ”

Janet's big eyes blinked a few more times, and the ghost made a difference: "...... Your dad?"

Actually, Janet is trying to add certain verb prepositions.

According to some psychological knowledge that Janet learned privately, men not only have a common mother-love complex, but also have patricide plots. And at this time, sitting opposite a guy with the temperament of the prairie lion king, this tendency is too obvious.

Simon shook his head helplessly, remembering the conversation with Raymond Johnston a few years ago by the glass curtain wall of the Shell Villa, a certain unlucky man in Janet's mouth, don't say it, seeing that Janet was still waiting for an answer with big eyes, he simply stopped explaining, and changed his vicious expression and said: "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, do you want to be subjected to domestic violence?"

Janet showed an excited little expression very cooperatively, and her tone was coquettish, like a little girl looking forward to a reward: "Yes." ”

"It's useless to think about it, work!"
