Chapter 425: Green Shoes
【Anti-theft Sticker Chapter】
Catherine's "Flowers of the End" is obviously a little more rough.
Of course, the roughness is not rough, but it makes people feel more sharp and cold.
The desert yellow sand, the end of the world, and the unbridled flying that becomes more and more crisp as the plot progresses, makes it difficult for the audience to see that this is the work of a female director.
However, the director is a woman after all.
Therefore, the new version of "Flowers of the End" highlights feminism more clearly.
Fortunately, Catherine, under Simon's constant influence, abandoned the preaching that she liked to deliberately add in her original works, and expressed some points more subtly through the story.
In the initial discussion, Catherine hoped that the two heroines would eventually succeed in escaping into Mexico.
However, in the final version, Thelma and Louise still drove off the cliff, thus sacrificing a complete story.
After the test screening and the discussion of the last two months of publicity, Simon took Catherine back to Cape Dume Manor, and the time was already more than six o'clock.
Catherine had been informed in advance that she would be coming over today, and Janet had already asked her to start preparing dinner.
Back home, and greeting Catherine affectionately, Janet said something else.
The lawsuit against Matthew Broderick and his gang is now completely over.
During this time, the investigation and litigation of the attack case had been the object of media attention, and Simon himself did not put much thought into this small matter.
The Santa Monica Police Department officially informed the media of its findings last week after months of investigation.
The truth of the matter could not have been more evident for a long time.
Today, the Los Angeles District Court officially handed down its verdict based on the results of the investigation and the content of the prosecution by both parties.
The indictments of Matthew Broderick and Mark Stein were dismissed in its entirety.
In response to Simon's lawsuit, the six were sentenced to between $5 million and $1 million in damages and a total of 600 hours of community service for defamation, and were not allowed to discuss any matters related to Simon in public.
In addition, because the two parties initially signed a settlement agreement privately, Simon did not file a lawsuit for intentional injury, so the original assault case was uncovered by the court.
If she hadn't been pregnant, Janet wouldn't have given up so well.
Now, with a small life in her belly, women don't have the heart to chase after it.
Moreover, the million-dollar compensation amount will basically empty the family funds of several people, and three of the six people cannot afford to pay at all, so they can only bear such a civil compensation debt for a long time. In the future, unless this compensation is paid off, you will not be able to turn over for the rest of your life.
By the time dinner began, this trivial matter, which was now very trivial to Simon, had been completely revealed.
After having dinner together, and being talked to by Janet until about nine o'clock, Catherine resolutely rejected Janet's suggestion to invite her to stay overnight, and got up to leave.
The only time the three of them were ridiculous together, the woman never let Simon succeed again.
Janet is three months pregnant, but there are actually things she can do.
However, for the sake of insurance, the woman did not have the slightest intention of letting Simon touch herself, and Simon did not have the idea of teasing the pot-bellied woman. It's just a time to make out with the female assistant when you go to Los Angeles, or a little hunt like last Saturday.
Although he does not treat himself badly in the affairs of men and women, Simon is actually very modest.
On the weekend, I spent most of the weekend with Janet discussing the establishment of a private medical center in Malibu.
The idea that arose mainly because of pregnancy.
By this time, the woman had already bought a plot of land in the mountains north of the Dumes Manor Manor, and even her name had been registered, Westeros Medical Center.
However, it is certainly not a matter of a day or two to build a state-of-the-art private medical center, even if the little one is born, so it is mainly for the future.
Basically, it's an investment that doesn't pay off, much like the Johnston-funded medical centre in Melbourne.
After discussion, Simon decided that the medical center would be primarily used to serve the management of the entire Westeros system, and that it would be supported by the Simon Janet Westeros Foundation, and that there would be a number of medical facilities dedicated to research in the future.
Many philanthropic projects sponsored by wealthy Westerners often cover the 'medical' category, and to a large extent, they serve themselves.
David Rockefeller, the third generation of the Rockefeller family, lived to be 101 years old and changed six hearts in his lifetime.
These 'six hearts' are precisely where the Rockefeller family's accumulation of medical philanthropy lies. The average new rich person, even if the wealth far exceeds that of the old Rockefeller family, it is impossible to put together six hearts that can match for themselves.
Due to the time difference between the east and west coasts, Simon left Los Angeles early on Sunday afternoon to fly to New York in order not to miss the schedule on Monday morning.
A new week begins, and it also enters July 1991.
All day Monday, Simon was attending an investment conference at Cersei Capital.
Janet withdrew from the management of Cersei Capital due to pregnancy, but the company's growth and expansion did not stop.
Many investment banking funds on Wall Street have not yet emerged from the economic downturn caused by the collapse of the bond market in the United States two years ago, so Cersei Capital, which bucked the trend, is basically the most active investment company on Wall Street.
In the first half of the year, taking advantage of the economic turmoil caused by the Gulf War, Cersei Fund Management has accumulated more than $2 billion in profits in the oil and stock markets.
Apollo Management, the private equity firm, also set up a venture fund of up to $1 billion at the beginning of the year to focus on investing in new technologies, while also seeking out or investing in other areas.
This is the time of the worst time for the U.S. housing market in the early 90s, when major U.S. banks repossessed large portfolios of real estate-related assets and bonds due to the collapse of the bond market in the past two years.
Determined that the U.S. housing market will recover rapidly over the next few years, just last month, Apollo Management, along with Lawrence Fink's Black Rock Asset Management, bought $1.5 billion worth of real estate-related assets and bonds auctioned off by major banks.
Simon's stay in New York was primarily to discuss several recent investments by Apollo Management.
One of the most important is to take a stake in top cosmetics giant Estee Lauder.
After Ron Perelman swallowed Revlon, Estee Lauder's most important competitor, because Perelman was not good at business management, Revlon was gradually thrown away by Estee Lauder over the years.
Simon also knew that Estée Lauder would grow into a $50 billion cosmetics giant many years later, but Revlon had been completely forgotten by then.
In fact, Estée Lauder is also a perfect fit for the 'Melisandre Company', one of the four women of the Westeros system, because the company's positioning is also luxury. It's just that the Lauder family, the founding family of Estee Lauder, still firmly controls the company, and Estee Lauder is not listed, and it is impossible for Simon to buy Estee Lauder.
