"Simon, I don't understand, why do you want to continue to take out loans?" In the study, Sophia Fesse was puzzled when she heard that Simon would continue to acquire shares of Gucci through loans: "Daenerys Entertainment should have made a lot of money last year, right?"

Loans come at a cost.

The principal amount of a $100 million loan seems to be only four or five percentage points per annum, and it has accumulated over the years to tens of millions of dollars in interest.

Moreover, when choosing a loan, it is definitely necessary to contact the bank, which also takes time.

Sofia had already failed to buy a stake in Château Latour, and she didn't want another surprise with Gucci.

Simon roughly understood Sophia's thoughts, and said, "I have other uses for Daenerys Entertainment's profits, and I can't give it to you." You just heard on the phone, Daenerys Entertainment is raising another loan recently, you can go back to Los Angeles tomorrow, and discuss with Amy and them to directly increase the loan amount, just calculate it according to 250 million US dollars, the bank is not a big problem, and it will not waste too much time. ”

Sophia nodded, but her attention was drawn to Simon's words of 'other uses'.

It's just that she was smart enough not to ask.

At this point, things are almost discussed, and the time is already late at night.

Jennifer had been in the study, Sophia knew that what was unlikely to happen to her and the little man tonight, and was about to say goodbye and go back to the room, when she suddenly remembered something and asked, "Simon, I almost forgot, what about the name of the company?"

If it was to create an integrated luxury group, the company definitely needed a new name.

As discussed earlier, the new company will be registered in Switzerland.

Switzerland is also known as one of the 'tax havens' and borders with France and Italy, which happen to have the highest concentration of luxury brands in Europe.

Simon just thought for a moment, took the sticky notes on the table, quickly wrote down a word and handed it to Sophia, and said, "Just her." ”

Sophia took the sticky note and looked at it, and there was a somewhat long word on it: Melisandre.

"Melisandre," Sophia said softly, looking up and asking, "Simon, is this a woman's name?"

Simon said with some inexplicable smile on the corner of his mouth, "Yes." ”

The female character in "Game of Thrones", "The Lady in the Red Robe" Melisandre still made a very deep impression on Simon. Daenerys has already been used, 'Erya' and 'Three Fools' and the like will definitely not be considered, Queen Cersei will keep it first, then only Melisandre.

Sophia naturally couldn't know this, but she quickly thought of Daenerys Entertainment and said, "Daenerys, Melisandre." Simon, you seem to like naming your company after this classical-leaning woman's name?"

Simon joked, "It would make me look more deep." ”

Sophia finally couldn't help but roll her eyes at him, thought about it and said, "It's just that this name is a bit long, and it may not be easy to remember?"

"As the controlling parent company of a luxury group, of course, the lower the presence, the better. We need to highlight brands like 'Gucci', and as for the name of the parent company, it doesn't matter if it's forgotten. ”

Sophia thought about the same reason, so she seriously put the sticky note paper into her satchel, got up and said, "In this case, let's stop here today." ”

"Is your room arranged?"

Sophia glanced at Jennifer, who was also up on the sofa in the corner, and said with a smile: "Of course, Jenny has already prepared the room for me before I came here." ”

originally wanted to pretend that nothing happened, and when she heard Sophia mention herself, Jennifer's face was still a little ruddy, and her eyes were dodgy and she didn't dare to look at Simon.

Simon just laughed and sent Sophia to the living room, and Jennifer followed the two of them.

"Good night, then, boss. ”

Opening the door, Sophia unconsciously changed her name again. glanced at Jennifer, who was still hiding behind Simon, and finally moved some women's thoughts, took the initiative to step forward, slightly tiptoed around Simon and pasted it on the man's cheek, and then went out to leave.

Before Simon could carefully savor the smooth touch of the woman's cheeks that had just been touched, he saw Jennifer hanging her little head and was about to slip out, so he grabbed it casually, and closed the door with his other hand.

Hugged by the man's waist, Jennifer propped her hands on the man's chest, trying not to stick to him, still hanging her head and saying incoherently: "I, you, it's late, you, tomorrow, you have to get up early." ”

Simon looked at the Patek Philippe on his wrist, and it was 12:35 a.m.

Although he had had more than one intimate encounter, he had not eaten Jennifer until now, and the current time and atmosphere were obviously not suitable for this.

However, Simon didn't let Jennifer go, and picked up the female assistant and walked towards the bedroom with a short body, looking at the girl in his arms whose face had turned into a red apple with her eyes closed, and said, "Let you go for the time being, but as a punishment, be my pillow tonight." ”

The warm fragrance in the arms is still very effective in relieving the fatigue of daily work.

Simon woke up at six o'clock the next day, and although he had only rested for more than five hours, he was still in good spirits.

Jennifer's room is actually next door to Simon, and there are probably not many people in the crew who don't know the relationship between her and Simon. However, Jennifer sneaked into her room in the morning and rubbed around for a while before going downstairs to have breakfast with Simon.

In order to hide the flush on his cheeks, there was a rare absence of a ponytail today, and his blonde hair was very lazily draped. Sitting in the living room, I thought I could hide something, but I soon found that it seemed even more noticeable.

Under the shame, he naturally wants to be angry, the target is on the opposite side, and there is a bad smile on the corner of his mouth.

It's hateful.

After taking a small bite of the salad he had shouted for himself, he finally whispered after a while: "You, you can't do this in the future, Jenny will be angry." ”

He seemed to be very talkative, nodding, "Hmm." ”

And then think, that's it.

So I changed the topic and asked a little thoughtlessly: "What are you going to do with that money?"

The 'money' here naturally refers to Daenerys Entertainment's earnings last year.

Although the detailed financial data is still being counted, she knows that Daenerys Entertainment has transferred $200 million in cash to Westeros' corporate account.

The transfer of $200 million did not affect the operation of Daenerys Entertainment in the slightest, which shows how profitable this company was last year, and it is no wonder that the whole of Hollywood is now full of curiosity about how much money Daenerys Entertainment makes.

Because she has been following Simon, Jennifer has a rough idea of the profit figures.

The $200 million is only part of it, and after the financial audit in Los Angeles, Daenerys Entertainment has enough operating funds, and the rest will be transferred to Westeros' corporate account.

Jennifer wondered what exactly Simon was going to do with the money.

Is it like the one in the stock market crash two years ago?

Everyone is not stupid.

Daenerys Entertainment is obviously well-funded, but it insists on taking a stake in Blockbuster through loans, and then it will take out a loan to acquire Gucci shares.

Well, there are some things that are not difficult to speculate.

Perhaps, now many people are secretly paying close attention to Simon Westeros, will there be another big move, right?

Knowing that this question is not appropriate, Jennifer would not ask it on weekdays. At this time, he blurted out a little regret, and hurriedly added: "It's okay if you don't say it." ”

When Simon heard Jennifer's question, he felt a little helpless.

It's not that it's about the female assistant, but he's also gradually realizing that there must be a lot of people staring at him now. Even, since his operation in the stock index futures market more than a year ago, there should have been people who have been watching his every move.

After all, if you can get a chance similar to the stock market crash in '87 from him, it will be a real overnight rich.

However, how could such an opportunity easily arise?

Looking at the nervous little appearance of the female assistant, Simon smiled and said: "I'm not sure now, you know, in 87, I was just a small shrimp and couldn't affect the market, so I can see the situation more clearly." Now, for example, if I decide that the Japanese stock market will crash within a month, and I want to profit from it, I definitely need to make a move. But because of that experience in '87, many pairs of eyes are still staring at me, and I can't hide the news of my move, which will have an unpredictable impact on the market. Perhaps, everyone followed the trend and shorted, and the Japanese stock market collapsed in advance under pressure, or perhaps, the Japanese government heard the news and took preventive measures, so the crash was delayed. Either way, it means that my judgment is invalid. ”

In fact, Simon is still talking about Soros's famous 'reflexivity theory' of the interaction between market participants and the market in his personal book "Financial Alchemy".

It's just that Soros hasn't written this book yet.

Simon's explanation was very easy to understand, and Jennifer, who listened carefully, immediately understood. She also knows that Simon does now have the potential to influence a country's financial markets.

After all, with just one operation, a self-made teenager has accumulated wealth that is beyond the reach of others in several lifetimes. Under such an aura of miracles, no one can ignore Simon's views on a country's financial markets.

After a brief decline after the '87 stock market crash, the Japanese stock market quickly recovered. The Nikkei even crossed the 30,000-point mark at the end of last year, up more than 200% from 13,000 in 1985.

Two years ago, Soros bet that the Japanese stock market would crash early, and then lost a lot of money due to a mistake in judgment.

Now, the Japanese stock market is still soaring after breaking through 30,000 points, but everyone understands that there is a serious bubble in it. You must know that the average price-earnings ratio of the Japanese stock market has exceeded 70 times, and the Japanese property market has a jaw-dropping price of $120,000 per square meter.

It is clear that the Japanese economy is destined for a major collapse, and the only thing that cannot be determined is when such a collapse will come.

Jennifer digested Simon's words just now, and looked carefully left and right before asking, "You mean, the Japanese stock market is going to crash in the next month?"

"I'm just giving an example," Simon shook his head and said, "If I bet now, I'll continue to go long." ”

Jennifer was very smart, and she immediately grasped another meaning from Simon's words: "That money, you didn't prepare it to bet on the Japanese stock market?"

Simon nodded with a smile and said: "After the last stock market crash, all countries have imposed restrictions on the rise and fall of their stock index futures markets, and Japan is no exception, even if I can accurately judge the direction of the Japanese stock market, it is impossible to make as many huge profits as in 87." ”

Now many people are roughly guessing that Simon is targeting the Japanese stock market. And, those people must have thought that Simon would be inclined to go short.

However, according to information from Simon's memory, the bullish state of the Japanese stock market will continue for another year, surpassing 38,000 points by the end of the year. In one year, from 30,000 points at the end of last year to 38,000 points, an increase of only 26%.

In the '87 stock market crash, the North American stock market fell 29% in one day on October 19.

In contrast, even if the Japanese stock market is completely unaffected by Simon's entry and continues to develop according to the curve in the original time and space, with the principal in Simon's hands, he will not make much money.

Of course, this is only relative.

Simon's real goal is the Kuwait War next year and the subsequent Gulf War.

Compared with the various restrictions introduced by various countries on the stock index futures market after being frightened by the 87 stock market crash, the crude oil futures market still has no limit on the rise and fall. The sharp rise and fall in oil prices brought about by the two wars in the next two years of tomorrow is another great opportunity for Simon to accumulate wealth.

In fact, the mainstream trend in the Western financial system, from the stock market to the futures market, has always been to set no limits on the rise and fall of the range. Many of the temporary restrictions introduced after the 87 crash will also be lifted in the coming years.

Jennifer once again captured the subtext of Simon's words: "You weren't going to come in, but now you've changed your mind?"

"Yes, I changed my mind," Simon nodded again, and said, "It's not bad to enter the market now and earn back the interest on the loan accumulated in the past few years, even if you lose it, you shouldn't lose too much." This will show people that Simon Westeros is not omnipotent, and will not be so staring at me in the future. ”

In addition, what Simon did not say is that such an operation can also provide cover for the layout of the crude oil futures market next year.

Jennifer looked understanding, and said, "And then?"

Simon reached over and scratched Jennifer's nose and said, "Little girl, you already know too much. ”

Jennifer was suddenly attacked by Simon and jerked her neck.

reacted, his face suddenly turned red, and he looked left and right with a weak heart, and the other people in the restaurant looked like they were all casual, relieved themselves a little, and glared at Simon very non-lethally: "Don't do this again, besides, I'm not a little girl." ”

Simon admired the female assistant's light and angry expression, and still responded very insincerely, and said, "Take the time to call your father during the day and ask him to come here." ”

Jennifer hesitated and said, "Can't we talk on the phone, it's a whole day to fly from New York to Melbourne?"

The female assistant feels sorry for her father, and she must be considerate.

Simon thought about it, this time he didn't plan to hide it from the outside world, and probably couldn't hide it, even if the phone was tapped, it didn't matter, so he nodded and said, "Okay, then let's talk on the phone." ”
