Leaving JFK Airport, the group did not return to Manhattan, but rushed together to Greenwich, Connecticut, which is close to New York.

Greenwich City, 30 kilometers northeast of Manhattan, has nothing to do with Greenwich Village in Midtown Manhattan, and if anything, it can only be blamed on the lack of talent for naming names in the West.

Compared to Greenwich Village, where artists gather, Greenwich City is a wealthy area on a par with the Upper East Side of Manhattan and East Hampton on Long Island. Moreover, many wealthy people often have properties on the Upper East Side and the surrounding Greenwich and East Hamptons, and usually live on the Upper East Side on weekdays and return to their suburban mansions on their days off.

Janet has been helping Simon buy a property in private. A few days ago, while living in New York, I bought a manor house in Greenwich again.

Not only that, Janet is also continuing to look for properties on the east and west coasts of the United States such as Las Vegas, Chicago, Boston, Washington, Miami and other cities, and Simon's current net worth is enough to support his original vision of real estate all over the world.

Sophia Faisy had already bought a property in Greenwich before coming to the United States, intending to send her children to school there. As a wealthy area, Greenwich undoubtedly has some of the best educational resources on the East Coast.

It just so happened that the party Simon was invited to attend tonight was also at the Hearst family's mansion near Greenwich.

It takes less than an hour to get into the Greenwich area by navigating the East Coast's well-developed highway network. Sophia's property for her children is near downtown Greenwich, and Simon's estate is in the northern suburbs.

Simon and his party left Greenwich city centre and drove about five kilometres north along the asphalt road in the woods to a manor in the suburbs.

The manor is surrounded by a symbolic stone wall, but the terrain is significantly higher than the asphalt road next to it, making it difficult for pedestrians and vehicles to peek in.

Inside the low walls, the lush bushes and tall trees further shade the interior of the estate, which is completely untended and completely different from what Simon saw last time he went to East Hampton for Steve Ross's house, the mansions in the East Hampton area have manicured bush hedges, and the Greenwich side of the road is left in a natural state.

Simon has always been more inclined to a sense of order in his bones, but he has no intention of changing the pattern of the manor here.

Maintaining the natural state is actually a kind of order.

Covering more than 30 acres, equivalent to 12 hectares, the estate is an irregular quadrangular shape with a length of nearly 500 meters from north to south, with a length of different lengths between the east and west borders, with the northern boundary being less than 100 meters at its narrowest point, leaning against a lake, and the southern boundary next to an east-west asphalt road with a length of more than 400 meters.

Simon's entourage entered the manor from the west entrance, most of the interior of the manor is covered with vegetation of different heights, driving inward along the curved asphalt road for about two hundred meters, a European-style villa with a blue roof and white walls appeared in front of them, and there was an annex building seven or eight meters apart on the east side of the main villa, which was obviously the residence of the servants and servants.

Three cars stopped in front of the main villa and were greeted by a group of girls in uniform black suits.

Janet followed Simon out of the car, took the man's arm and smiled at the seven girls who stepped forward, and said: "This is the housekeeping team of our real estate here in North America in the future, I personally picked it, beautiful, right? ”

Simon nodded, looked at the seven tall and fair-skinned girls who came to him, and subconsciously said, "It seems to be too young." ”

Janet grabbed Simon's arm dissatisfiedly: "That's it, if you're not satisfied, you can pick it yourself, I don't care." ”

The two whispered to each other, and a short-haired woman with a delicate face and a slightly cold temperament who walked in front of him had already stretched out her hand to Simon and said, "Hello, Mr. Westeros, I'm Alice Ferguson. ”

Simon shook the girl's hand and said, "Nice to meet you, Alice." ”

After saying hello, Alice Ferguson leaned slightly sideways, and took the initiative to help Simon introduce the other six beautiful girls behind her with obvious eager expressions, and said, "Mr. Westeros, they are Mira, Emilia, Naomi, Doris, Isabel, and Zoe." ”

After quickly introducing them one by one, the new housekeeper turned to Simon again and said, "Mr. Westeros, let me show you around this villa." ”

Simon watched with great interest the other girls whose names had not even been introduced to them being blocked by Alice Ferguson, obviously daring to be angry and not daring to speak, nodded with a smile, and said, "Okay." ”

Janet kept smiling, and when she heard Alice Ferguson say this, she let go of Simon and said, "You guys go in first, I'll arrange for them to pack their bags." ”

Simon did not refuse, and took the lead towards the villa. Alice Ferguson followed Simon's side.

The two walked into the villa, Simon looked around, this villa was the same size as Simon's villa in the middle of the hill in Palisad, Los Angeles, the high-ceilinged two-story villa was taller than some ordinary three-story buildings, the villa hall only had one floor space, and the gorgeous crystal chandelier hung directly on the dome.

The interior of the villa is decorated in pure white as a whole, and the home decoration has obviously been changed, all of which belong to the minimalist style that Simon likes.

After a few brief glances left and right, Simon walked down the spiral staircase on the west side to the second floor.

Alice Ferguson still followed behind Simon, and did not mean to make an introduction.

Coming to the second floor, Simon smiled and stood in front of a painting drawn by Janet herself on the wall of the hallway, and was the first to speak, "How old are you?"

"27 years old. ”

"What university did you graduate from?"

"Princeton. ”

Simon retracted his gaze and continued to walk down the hallway, his tone a little more dissatisfied: "And then?"

Alice Ferguson finally said something more, "I studied economics and got my PhD two years ago. ”

"I got a doctorate in economics at the age of 27, which is very powerful. ”

Alice Ferguson paused and corrected: "25 years old." ”

When others asked later, they said they were 27 years old. ”

"Why?"

"If I say 27, I'm going to be 27. ”

“...... Good. ”

Simon pushed open a door and saw a bedroom. I saw the floor-to-ceiling windows leading to the terrace and walked in.

Coming to the terrace, Simon stood by the railing and looked at the people who were still busy in front of the villa, and asked, "What is the topic of your doctoral dissertation?"

Alice Ferguson said: "Reagan's economic reforms caused an imbalance in U.S. foreign trade. ”

"Are you interested in politics?"

"I thought about it, but gave up. ”

"Why?"

"It's very difficult for women to make a difference in politics. ”

"Not necessarily, maybe in less than ten years, there will be a female president in the Federation. ”

"The likelihood is close to zero. ”

"Well, then why would you want to come and work for me?"

"The pay is high enough to give you better opportunities in the future. ”

"Huh?"

"The four core businesses of Westeros are all run by women. ”

Simon smiled and asked, "Which four, I can't remember how many companies I have invested in." ”

"Daenerys, Melisandre, Igrette, Cersei. ”

"Okay, so tell me, which of these four companies has the most development potential?"

Alice Ferguson hesitated, and said, "Daenerys, or Igrette." ”

"I'll just let you say one. ”

"Igret. ”

Simon was a little surprised, turned around and leaned against the railing, looked at the girl in front of him again, and said, "In this case, help me be a housekeeper for five years, and you can go to Igret." Of course, if you also have to prove your ability, if I think you're better suited to work as a cleaner in Eaglet, then you'll have to sweep the floor. ”

Alice Ferguson's thin lips pursed and said, "I need permission, know Ygrit's permission." ”

"No problem, besides, since you are so smart that you can get a doctorate at the age of 25, then you have been studying computer technology for the past few years. ”

Alice Ferguson said: "I already have a master's degree in computer science from Princeton University. ”

Simon's gaze swept over the girl's white neck and said, "Are there any other degrees, let's talk about them together?"

"No more. ”

"Then let's continue to study, also get another doctorate, anyway, you just help me take care of the property, I have a lot of free time," Simon finished speaking, and without waiting for the girl to respond, he asked again: "By the way, do you have a boyfriend?"

"Nope. ”

"Really?"

"I've had a few girlfriends. ”

“......”

Simon was speechless, no wonder it always felt a little strange.

Alice Ferguson saw Simon choked on him, paused, and then added: "However, I don't reject the opposite sex. ”

Simon nodded, deliberately adding a bit of aggression to his eyes, looking at the lace edge that was captured alive in front of him, and said, "I understand, this is a hint." ”

Alice Ferguson shook her head: "No, it's explicit. ”

Simon was vicious: "Go and lock the bedroom door, I want you right now." ”

Alice Ferguson shook her head: "Not now, today is my dangerous period, and there is no contraceptive in this bedroom." In the event of an unplanned pregnancy, I will ask you for all the rights that this child deserves. ”

Simon insisted aggressively: "Don't worry, I know a lot of affectionate ways that won't get a woman pregnant. ”

"I don't accept alternative ways of sexuality. ”

Simon clenched his fist, and the knuckles made a slight snapping sound, "I'll let you take it." ”

Alice Ferguson still looked at Simon and said seriously, "I'll bite you." ”

Well, that's so murderous.

Simon noticed that Alice Ferguson occasionally showed very beautiful white teeth when she spoke, but she only felt a chill down her spine, and said in defeat: "Give you 10 seconds to disappear before my eyes." ”

Alice Ferguson turned her head to look in the direction of the door, as if calculating whether she would be able to get out of the bedroom in 10 seconds, then nodded at Simon, turned and stepped on her little black heels and walked out. Leaving the bedroom and gently closing the door, the new housekeeper stood at the door and exhaled slowly, the corners of her mouth were slightly hooked, and a faint smile appeared on her originally cold face.

There was a sound from the direction of the staircase, and Alice Ferguson quickly collected her mood and took the initiative to walk over.

The two girls walked upstairs with a suitcase, and when they saw Alice, they stopped, and their eyes were obviously a little wary. Alice walked up to the two women, looked at them lightly, and said, "Alison Norris, Betsy Hope, you will be in my charge in the future." ”

Alison retorted, "We're only with the boss and won't listen to you." ”

Alice said: "Madame has agreed, if you are not satisfied, you can go and talk to Madame." ”

Alison wanted to say something, but Betsy pulled her and said, "Madame asked us to move these two boxes into the master bedroom." ”

Alice nodded, walked to the other side of the hallway, and said, "Come with me." ”

The party at the Hearst house started at seven o'clock in the evening, and Simon and his party arrived in Greenwich, and it was already past five o'clock in the afternoon. After a busy settling in, Simon and Janet began to prepare for the evening party.

"You must know about the Spanish-American War, although it was almost a century ago, but after almost a hundred years of accumulation, the potential influence of the Hearst family is actually even stronger. In the car to the Hearst mansion, Janet and Simon chatted about it: "Speaking of which, Murdoch's News Corp. is similar to the Hearst Corporation, in the sixties, Murdoch wanted to enter the United Kingdom, and at that time Australia still had very strict capital controls, and could not transfer large sums of money overseas at will, do you know how he did it?"

"How?"

It was an election year, and Murdoch unleashed the power of the entire News Corp. to put a candidate who was not too popular with the public to become prime minister. Soon after the prime minister was elected, News Corp.'s investment plan was approved. However, News Corp.'s strength is still far from that of the Hearst Corp. ”

Simon didn't expect the Murdoch family to be so powerful in Australia in the 60s.

However, Simon remembered one more thing and asked, "In that case, why did Murdoch fail to prevent the introduction of the Media Restriction Act in the first place, and was forced to sell the Seventh Television Network?"

The Johnston family is taking over Australia's Seventh Television Network from the Qintex Group, originally owned by the Murdoch family.

Janet said: "Murdoch is too sharp, so naturally there will be bad times." In the seventies, a News Corp.-bhasked prime minister came to power, and then he was out of luck. ”

Simon can't help but think of the wiretapping scandal in his memory, which was also due to the fact that News Corp was too strong, which caused a collective backlash in British politics.

Thinking so, Simon asked again: "By the way, News Corp. should also be involved in the abolition of inheritance tax in Australia, right?"

"My grandfather was in charge of liaison, and the Murdochs, the Fairfaxes, and the Pike families were all involved. Janet seemed reluctant to say more about it, so she quickly changed the subject and said, "Also, it happens that the Hearst family has always been supporters of the Democratic Party, which is also conducive to bringing us closer together." ”
