Because it was a reception at the Raybould family, Simon stayed at the end, and after bidding farewell to the other guests, he discussed some Westeros matters with James Raybould, and then left at eleven o'clock in the evening.

It was nearly early in the morning as the car rounded Central Park and arrived at a villa on West 78th Street on the Upper West Side.

This is where Alessandra Martinis lived.

Angel Davis personally opened the door to welcome Simon in, and as soon as he stepped into the living room, Simon heard a faint woman's laughter, and asked the housekeeper who had arrived in advance, "Is there a guest here at Al?"

The housekeeper was about to speak, and the greeting of the princess of the Golden Rose Cave sounded at the railing of the platform on the second floor that could be seen directly from the living room, and the woman immediately stepped down the stairs again, with a faint flush on her face, and threw herself into Simon's arms: "It's so late, Simon, why did you come?"

Simon hugged the woman who was only wearing a pale pink close-fitting nightdress, hugged her, felt the warm fragrance of nephrite jade in his arms, and a faint sense of wine, and said with a smile: "You can only come over after the party." ”

Saying this, several women had already appeared next to the railing on the second floor, not the maid beside Alexandra, who was obviously her friend.

Simon is possessive enough for the women around him, but he does not restrict their private life, as long as he does not steal food behind his back, even if he has some friends of the opposite sex. Seeing that the woman was late at night and there were still guests, she didn't mind too much, just like the last time at Hall's house, and nodded to the women upstairs.

Moreover, if you look at it this way, you can also find that several of them know each other.

Carrying Alessandra through the living room and stepping up the stairs to the second floor, about six or seven women greeted her from the open-plan living room upstairs with different expressions, their eyes amazed, excited, restrained, and eager to try.

Alessandra, whose cheeks were flushed and slightly drunk, also reacted at this time and explained: "Simon, Sarah and I discussed the Friday party a few days ago, but I didn't expect you to come over today. Oh, I'll introduce you...... Well, they don't need my introduction, do they?"

"Oh, no. ”

Simon said, looking over and confirming that there were a total of 7 women, Brooke Shields recognized them at a glance, as well as the two stars of "Sex and the City", Sarah Jessica Parker and Kim Cathroll, and one more, 'Single Drug Mom', Mary Louise Parker, which is also a coincidence, two Parkers, once Simon would confuse the two names.

Then, Simon didn't know the other three women anymore.

Apparently they are all good friends that Alessandra has met in New York in recent months, and it seems that the women are all the same age, and, after a little combing, they are all close to each other, or TV, or dance dramas, and probably a little bit fashionable.

Golden Rose Cave has good communication skills.

Briefly swept over a group of women, Simon smiled again and said, "Let's sit down, it's so late and it's not over, what are you talking about?"

As he spoke, he hugged Alexandra and walked to the sofa in the living room on the second floor.

Simon spoke, and the women all sat down one after another, but in the face of this young man who seemed to be younger than them in a little calculation, it was difficult for a group of women to regain the relaxed conversation and laughter just now.

Joke.

This is Simon Westeros.

Alive.

In the past two days, Verizon Telecom has triggered a series of heated media discussions, even if they are not very interested in related news, but in Manhattan, it is inevitable to be surrounded by all kinds of related news, and they can't hide if they want to.

What's more, most of these women present have to eat in an industry controlled by a certain man.

Whether it's film or fashion.

Just like the two leading actors of "Sex and the City", and Candace Bushnell, who sat next to the two leading actors, Simon didn't know but was actually the original author of "Sex and the City", and Mary Louise Parker, a single drug mom who is still continuing her Broadway career and starting to develop in Hollywood, and even Grace Shield, who has no hope in the film field and began to move to the TV industry, just cooperated with ABC this year to launch a new film "Susan" in September.

The correlation is very straightforward.

The last two, one is an independent writer for a fashion magazine similar to Candace Bushnell, and the other is a famous makeup artist in New York City.

One more thing is obvious.

Although they are all women at the level of a royal sister, since they are still partying at Alexandra's side in the early hours of the morning, they may have the intention of contacting Simon, but it is obvious that these women should be single, at least the kind that are not married, otherwise it is not suitable to 'fool around' outside late at night.

After a few words of gossip, worried that Simon didn't know their identities, he took the initiative to introduce them again, and seeing that someone didn't have the slightest shelf of a super-tycoon, the atmosphere gradually became lively.

"As for Igret, the market value can reach $500 billion, Simon, it's amazing, we were just discussing whether to invest in some technology stocks," Brooke Xiaosi, who was holding a glass of red wine on the sofa opposite, said with a seductive gaze intentionally or unintentionally: "Simon, can you give us some advice?"

Simon and Alessandra huddled intimately in a single sofa, hugging the woman in their arms, with an extra glass of red wine in their hands, and said to him: "It's so late at night, and you have to discuss things to make money, how boring, let's talk about something else." ”

The women, who had pricked up their ears, chuckled when they saw Simon say this.

Moreover, looking at the two people on the single sofa who did not hide their intimacy, especially the man's arm that was not restless at all on Alexandra's body, the atmosphere in the air was inevitably a little more strange.

This is Simon Westeros!

The women only felt that this simple but not simple sentence jumped out of their minds repeatedly, even if they didn't say a series of burning halos on someone's body, just this handsome face and the strong figure that the whole world was known for because of some past news, it was enough to make the thoughts of the women who were already familiar around them.

Coupled with the effect of some alcohol, I completely forgot all the thoughts that inevitably arose after seeing this man enter the door at first sight.

Candace Bushnell, who wrote the "Sex and the City" series and looks about thirty-five years old, but is much more beautiful than the protagonist of his own work, Sarah Jessica Parker, laughed and picked up Simon's words: "So, Simon, what do you think we should talk about?"

Simon didn't answer Candace's question, drank the red wine in the glass in one gulp, and then stood up with Alexandra in his arms: "It's late, everyone should rest early, there are enough rooms here, if you want to go back, let Angel arrange a car for you." ”

As he spoke, he deliberately gave the women around him a meaningful look, and walked directly to the stairs with the princess of the Golden Rose Cave in his arms.

Although I like the feeling of being surrounded by a group of women, after all, it is too late and it is a busy day, Simon suddenly just wants to take a shower, and then rest as soon as possible with a fragrant woman in his arms.

The final look is also a very clear invitation.

I don't want to do anything more tonight.

And the women around, even if it's Brooke Small, Simon is actually not very interested, but if there are more women on the big bed as pillows, he will not refuse.

Seeing Simon Westeros suddenly leave with Alessandra in his arms, the women in the open-plan living room on the second floor all looked at each other.

However, they probably reacted quickly.

It's a bit late.

It's early in the morning.

At this point in time, men and women are either asleep, or they are doing something, and they can still insist on chatting about something, after all, there are not many.

When Simon left, Angel Davis quickly appeared and said politely, "Ladies, is there anything else you need?"

Everyone didn't speak for a while.

After all, it's a question of whether you want a car or a room.

Finally, Candace Bushnell, the authoress of "Sex and the City," first said, "Anger, how many rooms are there?"

"Three, Ms. Bushnell, might be a little cramped if everybody were to stay, but the bed was huge. ”

At the beginning of Bushnell, out of all kinds of unreasonable thoughts, the women stayed one after another.

However, nothing happened that night.

Even the next morning, after all, it was Saturday, and after the women who had been in a mood last night and slept late, and woke up late, Simon had already left early.

It's August 17th.

Saturday.

Even though it was a weekend, because he was going to Australia tomorrow, Simon still arranged a full day of work for himself.

Moreover, because he suddenly received a certain news from Washington, Simon had to temporarily discuss the coping strategy with the San Francisco side.

About the fact that the White House is about to launch an investigation into Ygrit.

For the upper echelons of the Federation, many things simply cannot be kept secret, not to mention that Simon has worked hard in Washington for so many years, and if he can't get first-hand information in the shortest possible time, it will be a failure.

In fact, Simon even got news from three aspects one after another.

One is from the White House.

One is from the Ministry of Justice.

There is also a Treasury from the Treasury, Jennifer's brother Philip Raybould has officially joined the Treasury Department, and the current Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin is also the former head of Goldman Sachs and has close ties to the Westeros system.

Simon was not surprised that the Clintons, who had basically maintained a fairly tacit and good relationship over the past few years, suddenly turned around.

I didn't have too high expectations for the couple in the White House.

What's more, this kind of thing, the two of them can be regarded as having a 'criminal record'.

In my memory of the 2008 U.S. plan, Hillary Clinton was very hopeful of becoming the Democratic Party's nominee candidate, but as a result, because of the outbreak of the subprime mortgage crisis, everyone on Wall Street shouted for a while, and Hillary, who was originally the most inclined supporter on Wall Street, came to a commotion for a while in order to grab public opinion capital, and began to point the finger at her biggest financier, saying that once she entered the White House, she would take the strongest measures against Wall Street.

It can be said that the face is turned neatly.

It was probably Hillary's eight-year White House career that gave Hillary Clinton the illusion that her power could overpower capital, and this bad move directly pushed the entire Wall Street to her opposite, and instead supported a certain black charcoal, resulting in the birth of the first black president of the United States.

Now, Simon can also understand the other party's considerations.

With Verizon's listing, Eaglerite's market capitalization has exceeded $500 billion, and then, at the end of the month, there will be a new annual Forbes 400 list in the United States, and the election is about to enter the sprint stage, and the two parties will definitely need to have some hot topics to focus on.

Simon's ballooning personal wealth, a topic that has been discussed for a long time over the past few years, is bound to be the focus of the election debate.

The Internet industry is a key project promoted by the Clinton administration after taking office, and Simon has achieved a meteoric rise in his wealth with the explosion of the Internet industry, and in any case, the Republican Party will link the two as cause and effect. In order to avoid falling into a back-to-back in the election process in the next few months, just like Simon's memory of Hillary's riotous maneuvers, this time, the White House also intends to 'preemptively'.

Now that he got the news in advance, although Simon has prepared for the split of Igritt from the beginning, such as the different heads of several major businesses that he will focus on, since the White House has taken action, Simon will not stand by coldly.

Splitting is inevitable.

But at least on the surface, Simon will definitely not cooperate to give the outside world the impression that he is actively seeking to break up Igret, but will resolutely resist.

Because human nature has to be inched.

If Simon actively cooperates with the split, it may be seen by many as a sign of weakness.

The Westeros system has grown to such a scale that Simon cannot afford to be weak. Because the interests involved in the entire Westeros system are too huge, and there are countless covetous eyes around him all the time, if Simon is weak in the Igrett split, then, for some people, they probably can't help but wonder if Simon Westeros will take the initiative to give in if he makes a move against other industries in the Westeros system.

Step back, step by step.

The result is a large herd of coveted hyenas.

In addition, as he prepares for an upcoming White House investigation, Simon also needs to consider the possible impact of this on the Nasdaq stock market.

The Nasdaq broke through 5,000 points, in fact, it has reached the peak of about 2000 years in Simon's memory.

This is significantly earlier than initially anticipated.

Moreover, Simon really can't tell how far the Nasdaq can go this time, 6000 points, or 7000 points, it's hard to say.

It's not impossible.

After all, the current situation of the Internet industry is completely different from the past, when 1996, the Internet had just begun to take off, and around 2000, the entire so-called Internet industry, which was a real serious bubble, just like Yahoo, around 2000, was still groping for its own business model.

Now, however, all aspects of Igret's business, both in terms of business model and revenue volume, are solid, while maintaining quite strong growth.

Even if the stock price is high, compared with the new technology companies that once had a price-earnings ratio of 7800 times or even 1,000 times, as of yesterday afternoon's close, the market value of Igret, which reached 5136 quilts, has a price-earnings ratio of only 167 times, and the degree of bubble is actually very low.

Therefore, it is not impossible to double the stock price of Igrett to $1 trillion in the future.

The statistics of the NASDAQ index are based on all stocks in the NASDAQ sector, but there is an extra trillion-dollar market value company like Ygrit, which is actually equivalent to raising the Nasdaq by about 1,000 points, then, compared to the 5,000 points at its peak, this time, the Nasdaq breaks through 6,000 points, which is completely feasible.

As for the higher 7,000 points, considering that the market capitalization of Ting Kobail and other companies that also have real performance support such as Ting Kobail, this is still not impossible.

In any case, the bursting of the bubble is inevitable.

What Simon had to do was to complete the planned layout as soon as possible before the bubble burst. After the bubble bursts, to maintain the continued development of the Internet industry to the greatest extent, except for these cores, everything else is trivial.
