The living room in the West Wing of the White House was suddenly silent.

Everyone remembers that in the first half of the year, Simon Westero tried to suppress the excessive madness of the Nasdaq index through continuous reduction of holdings and other actions. However, facing strong pressure from all sides, even this trillion-dollar net worth The super rich also had to stop.

Now, the White House dare not take this risk lightly.

Thinking about the Republican side, this has almost become a deadlock.

To gain the initiative, the White House must preemptively strike.In contrast, on the Republican side, Bob Dole, who has already confirmed that he will be nominated by the party, only needs to emphasize that after he is elected, he will take tough measures against the Westeros system. As for whether he will really do this in the future, who knows?

After a moment of silence, it was Hillary who spoke first, looked at her husband and said, "Bill, you have to make a decision to attack the Westeros system."

The attitude of the first lady is obvious.

Leon Panetta and Chester Cavill looked at each other, silent.

Clinton, who had been deliberating over his fingers on his knees, couldn't help feeling a little sullen when he heard his wife's words. He knew that Hillary's thoughts were not so much for his re-election, but rather for her own future political affairs. Pave the way for the future.

Initiate an anti-monopoly investigation on Eaglet Corporation. Once it is screwed up and the technology stock bubble is burst, whether it is Wall Street or Silicon Valley, they will only blame him on the president. Even if it has an impact on the first lady , it will probably be resolved in a few years.As for him, even if he wins a second term because of this, it will definitely not be easy in the future.

Not to mention after stepping down.

However, the first lady can continue to grab political capital and accumulate deeper political connections through his second term.

Even though he thought so, Clinton was not a person who lacked determination. He quietly made up his mind, and then looked at his chief of staff: "Leon, what do you think?"

Leon Panetta pondered for a while, and said, "Even if... the bubble really bursts, I think the voters are more willing to see this kind of scene."

Yes.

Offending capital, the impact will not be immediately apparent, after all, even campaign funds have been raised enough.

If the bubble really bursts, the effect on voters will be immediate.

The mentality of ordinary people is easy to understand. It is also a very enjoyable thing to see things destroyed by oneself.In addition, starting the anti-monopoly investigation of Igret, on Dole's side, it will not be easy to attack himself with this topic in the next few months.

In the final analysis, fighting for re-election is the first sequence.

Now that the decision was made, Clinton ordered: "Then, Leon, let Jenny come to see me tomorrow morning."

Clinton was talking about Janet Reynolds, the current Attorney General.

In order to gain the initiative to the greatest extent, the antitrust investigation of Igret must be initiated by the Ministry of Justice, one of the president's cabinets.

Leon Panetta agreed, thought for a while and said: "Bill, this matter...do I need to discuss it with Westeros in advance?"

Clinton thought about it for a while, and was about to say something, when Hillary said, "No need, if the Republican Party finds out, this matter will be meaningless, and it will become an excuse to attack us..."

Seeing that Hillary was going to continue, Clinton finally interrupted and said to Panetta: "I will discuss these details with Jenny tomorrow before making a decision."

"Then, I'll notify Jenny later."

After talking about this matter, Clinton didn't give Hillary a chance to intervene. He turned to his campaign manager, changed the subject directly, and said, "Chester, tell us about the situation of the major newspaper unions."

The rise of the Internet industry, the TV industry is still able to withstand the impact of print media in recent years has been very serious.

It involves millions of jobs in the paper media industry. In this general election, the major newspaper industry unions in the United States are also quite active.

Although everyone understands that the rapid rise of the Internet and the rapid decline of the paper media industry are almost as irreversible as the replacement of manual workshops by textile factories using steam engines, but whether it is drawing big cakes or writing empty checks, striving for influence at this stage is still very important. The support of the large print media industry is also a tug-of-war focus in this general election.

Speaking of which, in the final analysis, this matter has a great relationship with the Westeros system.

Thoughts came here, and while continuing to discuss, Clinton couldn't help thinking, wondering what that young man was doing at this time?

Considering that the other party is in New York at this time, at least for one thing, it must be surrounded by many people.

This is what Clinton most admires about someone.

Yanfu is too deep.

Manhattan.

After attending Verizon's listing ceremony during the day, Simon did not leave immediately, but stayed here to arrange some follow-ups.

On the Los Angeles side, Janet has already flown to Melbourne with her two older children, Nick and Seattle, tomorrow, and Jennifer will follow her with her two little ones tomorrow.

Simon is leaving on Sunday.

In order to avoid certain things from happening to the greatest extent, Simon personally made a decision not to take the same plane as a family as much as possible. Janet was reluctant about this, and she had a kind of expectation that she would die with Simon if she had to die, but In most cases, it is still in accordance with the wishes of men.

Unlike Clinton's guess in the White House, Simon was also busy all day. At this time, Simon was not surrounded by many people, but was attending a gathering of high-level circles of the Westeros system at James Raybould's house.

Because of Jennifer's relationship, although she was surrounded by Irene Lauder throughout the day, the girl did not insist on coming over with Simon to join in the fun.

"I have always admired Buffett's words: I am fearful when others are greedy, and I am greedy when others are fearful. Ray, although Verizon just got a lot of money, I hope you understand that with the current overheated market situation, It has come to the moment when we start to fear. Next, except for the deep cultivation in the field of mobile communications, I don’t want to see Verizon’s irrational follow-up investment in other areas.”

Simon's beating was very straightforward, but Raymond Smith's expression was not at all displeased. The young man in front of him who was carrying a series of miraculous halos had convinced too many people over the years, and Raymond Smith was one of them.

"Simon, I understand," Raymond Smith said while reassuring, "Also, there is one more thing, Simon, speaking of it, don't you think that if AOL and Verizon Telecom can be merged, it would be a Is it a good thing?"

Simon didn't expect Smith to bring this up. He looked at the 61-year-old man in front of him, who didn't look old at all, and said with a smile, "Let's not mention the obstacles in Washington, Ray, you talked to Steve about it." ?"

Raymond Smith nodded, of course he understood Simon's subtext, and said: "Actually, I have always had a good relationship with Case, and, although I don't want to admit it, my age...so, if we can merge, I hope to be able to become The chairman and CEO of the new company, Keith, will be my deputy. In fact, in my opinion, Keith is still not stable enough, and he is young enough, so it should be no problem to continue to wait for about 5 years.”

If AOL and Verizon can merge, it will definitely be a strong alliance.

Simon had this idea early on.

However, the idea is one thing, and the feasibility is another. One of the more important issues is how to redistribute the leadership of the management once the two companies merge.

Now it seems that this problem does not seem to be big.

Raymond Smith is 61 years old this year. Although at this level, the statutory retirement age in the United States is no longer valid, it is impossible to continue working forever. The time to retreat to the second line is about 65 years old.

However, although the problem of power distribution can be solved, it still needs to overcome too many obstacles to implement it.

After all, the current volume of the Westeros system is too large. Even though America Online and Verizon Telecom are companies under the absolute control of the Westeros system, many people obviously do not want to see the two companies Merging the two into one, after all, with the scale of the two companies at this time, once merged, it will be almost stronger than AT&T back then.

In addition, there are the most direct interests.

The two companies maintain their independence. Although it will inevitably lead to redundant waste of resource investment, they can relatively obtain more benefits in their respective businesses. Moreover, if they want to develop new businesses such as cable TV, there are barriers Also smaller.

Considering the integration, if possible, Simon is more inclined to merge the two companies.

However, although I don’t know that Mr. President in the White House has already planned to attack Ygret, as the scale continues to expand, the pressure on the Westeros system will inevitably increase significantly. This fact is certainly not in dispute.

To put it bluntly, the merger of AOL and Verizon Telecom is not a question of whether Simon wants to, but a question of whether it can be done.

There are just too many obstacles.

James Raybould, who had just finished talking with Henry Paulson, the latest CEO of Goldman Sachs, also came over at this time. The three discussed this issue for a while, but did not come to a result for a while.

Only in the long run.

In short, things can start to be promoted, whether it is success or failure, but it cannot be too forceful.

Chapter 1008 Splitting is inevitable

Because it was a reception at Raybould's house, Simon stayed at the end to see off the other guests, and discussed some Westeros business matters with James Raybould before leaving at eleven o'clock in the middle of the night.

The car left the Upper East Side, bypassed Central Park, and came to a villa on West 78th Street in the Upper West Side. It was almost early morning.

This is the residence of Alessandra Martinis.

Angourie Davis personally opened the door and welcomed Simon in. As soon as he stepped into the living room, Simon heard the faint laughter of a woman, and asked the housekeeper who had rushed over earlier: "Are there any guests here?"

The housekeeper was about to speak when she stood at the railing of the second-floor platform that could be seen directly from the living room, and the princess of the Golden Rose Cave rang out. Then the woman stepped down the stairs quickly, with a faint blush on her face, and threw herself into Simon's arms. Li: "It's so late, Simon, why are you here?"

Simon put his arms around the woman who was only wearing a light pink nightgown, hugged her, felt the hot nephrite fragrance in his arms, and the slight hint of alcohol, and said with a smile: "You can't come here until the entertainment is over. .”

Having said that, several women appeared beside the railing on the second floor. They were not the maids and guards next to Alexandra, but apparently her friends.

Simon is possessive enough for the women around him, but he doesn't limit their private life in private. As long as he doesn't steal behind his back, it doesn't matter even if he has some friends of the opposite sex.Seeing that there are guests here late at night, the woman didn't mind too much like last time at Hall's house, and nodded to the women upstairs.

Moreover, looking at the past like this, I found that several of them knew each other.

He walked through the living room with Alexandra in his arms, and walked up the stairs to the second floor. About six or seven women with different expressions greeted them from the open living room upstairs, with surprise, excitement, and restraint in their eyes. There are also eager to try.

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

"Oh, no need."

As Simon said, he looked over and determined that there were 7 women in total.

Brooke Shields is instantly recognizable, as are two Sex and the City stars, Sarah Jessica Parker and Kim Cattrall, and another, 'Weedy Moms', Mary Lou Louise Parker, by coincidence, two Parkers, Simon used to confuse the two names.

Then, the other three women, Simon, no longer knew each other.

Obviously, they are all good friends that Alexandra met in New York in recent months. It seems that the women are all about the same age, and, after a little sorting out, they are all in a relatively close circle, or TV, or dance drama, Maybe a little fashion.

Princess Golden Rose Cave has very good communication skills.

After simply scanning a group of women, Simon smiled again and said, "Everyone, sit down, it's still so late, what are you talking about?"

As he spoke, he walked towards the sofa in the living room on the second floor with his arms around Alexandra.

When Simon spoke, the women all sat down one after another. However, in the face of this young man who seemed to be younger than them, it was difficult for a group of women to resume the relaxed chat and laugh just now.

joke.

This is Simon Westeros.

Live.

In the past two days, Verizon Telecom's listing has sparked a series of heated media discussions. Even if you are not very interested in relevant news, you will inevitably be surrounded by various related news in Manhattan, and you will not be able to avoid it.

What's more, speaking of these women present, most of them have to make a living in the industry controlled by a certain man.

Be it film or fashion.

Just like the two leading actors of "Sex and the City", and Candice Bushnell, who sat next to the two leading actors, whom Simon didn't know but was actually the original author of "Sex and the City", as well as continuing his Broadway career while starting to Hollywood Mary Louise Parker, a single poisonous mother who has grown up, and Brooke Shields, who has no hope of a future in the film field and has just moved to the TV circle this year, has just cooperated with ABC on a new film "Unexpected Susan", which will be released in September.

The connections are very direct.

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.

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

Gossip a few words, worried that Simon would not know their identities, and introduced them on his own initiative. Seeing that someone did not have the airs of a super tycoon at all, the atmosphere gradually became lively.

"About Igret, the market value can reach 5000 billion U.S. dollars, Simon, this is really amazing. We were just discussing whether to invest in some technology stocks," said Brooke on the opposite sofa, holding a glass of red wine While talking, Xiao Si cast a seductive look intentionally or unintentionally: "Simon, can you give us some advice?"

Simon and Alexandra huddled intimately on a single sofa, hugged the woman in their arms, and also had an extra glass of red wine in their hands. Hearing this, they talked about him: "It's so late at night, and we still have to discuss making money It's so boring, let's talk about something else."

The women who had pricked up their ears laughed lightly when they saw what Simon said.

Moreover, looking at the two people who were unabashedly intimate on the single sofa, especially the man's restless arm around Alexandra's body, the atmosphere in the air inevitably became a little strange.

This is Simon Westeros!

The women just feel that this simple but not simple sentence repeatedly pops up in their minds, even if they don't mention a series of dazzling halos on someone, just this handsome face and the strong figure that the whole world has known because of some past news are enough Let the thoughts of the women who are already familiar with the surroundings surge.

Coupled with the effect of alcohol, I completely forgot all kinds of thoughts that inevitably arose after seeing this man enter the door for the first time.

Candace Bushnell, who wrote the "Sex and the City" series, looks about 35 years old but is much prettier than Sarah Jessica Parker, the protagonist of her works, smiled and picked up Simon's words : "So, Simon, what do you think we should talk about?"

Simon didn't answer Candace's question, he drank the red wine in the glass in one gulp, then stood up suddenly holding Alexandra in his arms: "It's late, everyone should go to bed early, there are enough rooms here, if If you want to go back, ask Angorui to arrange a car for you."

As he said that, he deliberately gave the women around him a meaningful look, and walked directly to the stairs with the golden rose cave princess in his arms.

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

The look at the end is also a definite invitation.

I don't want to do anything more tonight.

And the women around, even Brooke Shields, Simon is not very interested in, but if there are more women on the big bed as pillows, he will not refuse.

Seeing Simon Westero suddenly leaving with Alexandra in his arms, the women in the living room on the second floor looked at each other in dismay.

However, they probably reacted quickly.

It is indeed a bit late.

It was early morning.

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

After Simon left, Angourie Davis also appeared soon, and said politely, "Ladies, is there anything else you need?"

Everyone didn't speak for a while.

Do you want a car or a room, that is the question.

In the end, Candice Bushnell, the female author of "Sex and the City", said first: "Ange, how many rooms are there here?"
