After breakfast, I rushed to Manhattan again, and today's main schedule is related to a series of investments or cooperation projects of the Westeros system in China.

The focus is on the last meeting of the morning of that day, about China Telecom's IPO.

The team of First Boston, a subsidiary of Credit Suisse, and the team of Apollo Management, a subsidiary of Cersei Capital, participated, and also connected with the Chinese team. The main purpose of the meeting was to accelerate the overseas listing of China Telecom.

According to past memories, Simon previously believed that China Telecom's overseas listing would be completed in the first half of next year, because the second half of the year will be the Southeast Asian financial crisis. Once the crisis breaks out, even if the IPO is successfully completed under the protection of the Westeros system, the amount of financing will inevitably shrink significantly, and it will also affect the subsequent stock price trend.

The official listing date that was preliminarily set was around May next year.

Now, Simon personally made a decision to advance the deadline by 5 months, requiring the IPO operation to be completed by the end of this year.

The listing of large state-owned telecommunications companies has previously had cases such as Japan Telecom and Deutsche Telecom. The IPO process of these companies once took several years. For China, the initial plan to officially sign the contract when Simon visited China in April, which was originally planned to be listed in May next year.

It suddenly shortened to 7 months, and all parties were caught off guard.

Simon had no choice but to do so.

With the current momentum of the new technology wave, Simon judged that the Nasdaq index will last until the end of the year at most. It just so happened that the idea of ​​overseas IPO designed by the Westeros system for China Telecom is also largely a gimmick of the concept of new technology to attract investment. In this case, once China Telecom conducts an IPO after the new technology bubble burst, the result can be imagined.

Simon did not publicly finalize the reason for making this decision in the conference room, but all parties actually knew it well.

At the end of the meeting, Simon personally had a call with the head of the Chinese side at noon and finally reached an agreement. Compared with the delayed West, Simon is actually very confident in China's work efficiency. In the past few months, the progress of China Telecom's asset restructuring supported by the Apollo management team was much faster than originally expected.

This is also a Chinese characteristic.

Decision-making is very slow, and sometimes it is not impossible to delay for ten or eight years, but once the decision is made, the execution efficiency will be very high.

In addition, after the morning meeting, Simon personally drove the team of the First Boston and Apollo Management Company to board the plane to China. Two women Chen Qing were also rushing to China together. Simon hoped that they would personally participate in the entire China IPO process in the next few months, so that they could not only accumulate more experience, but also further expand their connections.

At the same time, it also acts as Simon's "eye".

China Telecom is the first attempt to list overseas by large state-owned enterprises in China, and it is also a test of overseas financing for many large state-owned enterprises in China. It is crucial for China and is also crucial for whether it can undertake the financial cake of more Chinese state-owned enterprises overseas listing in the future.

Therefore, there is no need to make any mistakes.

In the evening, it was a reception for an investor at Verizon Telecom. Simon did not stay at the reception for too long. He arrived at eight o'clock. He simply greeted some important guests and exchanged greetings. He left early after half an hour.

Hurry up to an apartment in Greenwich, where Jerry Hall's house.

Just after knocking on the door a few times, the door opened, and a little girl who was becoming more and more graceful jumped out and threw herself on Simon, with a sweet mouth: "Dad."

Simon entered the door with Jerry Hall's eldest daughter Elizabeth, and found out that there was also a party here, and it was a very relaxing family party, such as family and family.

It was roughly clear that this was Jerry Hall's social circle, fashion industry, Anna Wintour, the female editor of "Vogue", etc.; TV industry, Fashion TV female president Anna Coleman or the heroines of the series Cathy Hilton and Kris Jenner, etc.; music industry, Jane Winner, the editor-in-chief of "Rolling Stone" magazine.

Because I know most of the memories of my previous life.

Of course, many of them are just aware of them. Even if they have more than a dozen identities, they can only look up to the top of these pyramids. This time, Simon was definitely looked up to.

Because it was a little girl who was not honest probably got news or instructed from her mother, she called Simon to come at noon, but she didn't expect that it was a party here. Even though she was busy for a week and didn't want to socialize again, Simon didn't think much about the woman's little thoughts.

After throwing the little goblin who couldn't stand smiling and couldn't stand it directly on a sofa in the living room, Simon turned to Jerry Hall who was coming.

Jerry Hall carefully looked at Simon's expression and confirmed that the man didn't mind, so he felt relieved, stepped forward and hugged Simon, and took his arm to the crowd.

Many sharp-eyed guests also came over immediately.

Jerry Hall's large flat apartment, which Simon paid for, had a total area of ​​more than 700 square meters, occupying a whole floor of the apartment building, equivalent to six or seven large flat floors of ordinary apartments. If you don't pay attention, you may get lost. More than 100 guests scattered tonight were not crowded at all.

"For the closure of Victoria's Secret, this is a big loss in the fashion industry. Simon, are you really not going to think about it again?"

Anna Wintour said regretfully in a corner of the living room, and the few people around him were also in line with it. For this circle, the recent hot topic is that the Victoria's Secret Show will be closed after this year. After all, the influence accumulated by this Super Bowl in the fashion industry in the past few years is too great.

Simon hugged the slender waist of the tall woman beside him, smiled and shook his head, "This is a decision that has been made, and it is not permanently suspended. Unlike the Super Bowl and the Oscars, it is difficult for the Victoria's Secret show to surprise the audience every year, so I hope it can be paused when it can still leave people's best memories, and it will definitely restart at the right time in the future."

Everyone nodded in understanding again.

It was a surprise to be able to meet this young man with increasingly powerful and wealth tonight, and no one would be so stupid that he deliberately made a fuss.

Anna Wintour also expressed her understanding and said, "Simon, speaking of it, we have decided to make a Victoria's Secret special topic in September this year. As the creator of the Victoria's Secret show, can you take the time to receive a brief interview?"

This time Simon just smiled and shook his head.

Don't want to take this kind of sensation.

Anna Wintour was not entangled. Jane Winner, editor-in-chief of Rolling Stone magazine, said at this time: "Simon, what I pay most attention to is music. Even in the last episode, everyone is looking forward to how many more BGM songs you can provide?"

"I will definitely do this as long as there is inspiration."

As Simon said this, he couldn't help but think of "Love Transfer" a few days ago. Janet's idea was to make a new single "Simon Westeros' "For Jenny" publicly. The more Simon thought about it, the more something went wrong. In the end, he decided to give up after firmly opposing it. After all, this song is not in Chinese, and the lyrics... Janet, as a Westerner, is not as profound as Simon.

It is not suitable to be publicized in the name of Simon.

In the end, he just decided to continue to promote related projects related to film and music in China, and Simon did not intend to sign at all.

Janet pretended to be angry and let it go in a blink of an eye.

In this Victoria's Secret show, if you want to, Simon can easily produce a few classic BGMs, but he doesn't have such plans. When facing Jane Winner's inquiry, he just practices Tai Chi.

After socializing for a while, Simon temporarily left, went to the bathroom, and came out again, and saw Kris Jenner wearing a black deep V dress walking through the corridor to come here. He looked very accidental. When he saw Simon, he showed a perfect surprise expression again and said, "Simon, I... well, go there."

Whenever Simon saw this woman, she didn't have the idea of ​​going to bed, but she was always irritated to make some adjustments.

He pushed open a door next to him, ignored the woman's little excuse and said directly: "Come."

Kris Jenner hesitated a little, then subconsciously looked behind her, and confirmed that no one was paying attention, so she quickly stepped into the room, closed the door with her backhand, turned around and looked at it. This was a study room with a simple style. On the side of the window was the rest area. The man was already leaning against the sofa. When she saw her turn around, she raised her hand and made a pressing action with a smirk.

There have been several similar encounters. Moreover, whenever I think of the power and status of this little man not far away, Kris Jenner, who is insidious in his bones, can't react at all. He just instinctively surrenders, and unknowingly leans down, slowly crawl towards the man with a flattering expression on his face.

The party is still lively.

Adults have their own circles, and children also have their own circles.

Elizabeth pulled the Paris Hilton sisters, Kardashians and other friends hid in their room to show off the beautiful cherry blossom kimono they bought when they went to Japan for vacation with their mother some time ago. She played and played for a while. She remembered the geisha dolls she brought back from Japan. She forgot where she was and ran out to ask her mother. She happened to see Simon coming out of the other corridor, saying hello, and then took Kim Kardashian, who had developed into a follower, and then turned to the other corridor.

Simon looked at the direction the two girls were running, paused, and said nothing, as if he had no time to say anything.

Elizabeth pushed open the door of the study room that Simon had just entered and left, walked straight to the bookshelf, and pointed to a row of exquisite geisha dolls about five or six 20 cm high above: "Look, this is it, let's take it to Ini and the others."

Kim Kardashian was about to help, but suddenly sniffed and said, "Leeds, what does it seem like here...?"

Elizabeth wondered: "What?"

He also sniffed as he said that.

Then two girls, puppy seekers, came to the sofa, looked at the obvious wet marks on the expensive Persian carpet in front of the sofa, and sniffed again, Kim Kardashian's face looked strange: "Leeds, do you have dogs at home?"

"No," Elizabeth's expression changed a few times, and she suddenly became angry again: "It's really... so unethical. This was something my mother brought back from Iran." The girl said as she covered her nose and took two steps back, even more angry: "If I find out who it is, I will never step into our door again."

After Kim Kardashian was attracted by Elizabeth from Paris, although she has been working hard to be a girl, how could she be willing to do so in her heart?

Seeing Elizabeth almost jumped up angry, she didn't dare to say anything on the surface, but she couldn't help but gloating and pretended to be unintentional, "Then, why are you looking for who it is?"

Elizabeth turned her head, stepped forward a little, and immediately stepped back. She forgot to take the geisha doll, and ran out directly, intending to complain to her mother.

Kim Kardashian followed a little behind. When she went out, she thought about it and simply kept the door of this study open and was discovered by others. Humph, seeing that your family is not embarrassed, maybe she might even think that the Hall family has a quirk and likes to be on the carpet...tsk tsk.

However, as soon as Kim Kardashian left, the door of the study was inexplicably fitted again. The people in the room were a little lucky. Fortunately, the two girls didn't come forward and noticed behind the sofa. However, they thought that it was obvious that they could not stay here for too long.

Rediscovering her mother and Simon, the two are chatting with supermodel Cindy Crawford with her fiancé Land Jaber and Stephanie Seymour and her billionaire husband Peter Brandt.

The girl in front of the adults has always been very ladylike. She waited well for a moment before she quietly told her mother's ear.

Upon hearing this, Jerry Hall thought for a while, waved to a waitress and asked Elizabeth to take the other party over to watch the ratings. Cindy and the others had already walked away, and the girl didn't want to go there again, so she immediately hung on Simon. Jerry Hall had no choice but to deal with it himself.

When my mother walked away, Elizabeth immediately pulled Simon: "Dad, let's go to my place and show you my kimono, it's very beautiful."

Simon roughly guessed what Elizabeth had just said to his mother, but he was calm on the surface, but when he saw Kim Kardashian following him quietly, his expression flashed a little strange.

I was soon pulled to the girl's bedroom by Elizabeth. There were girls here and there, and there were boys at the party. Obviously, I couldn't get into the girls' circle.

When Simon entered the door, he happened to see a tall girl who was also familiar to me as she was trying on a blue kimono. Moreover, after seeing it, Elizabeth immediately began to laugh: "Ini, you are so fat, it's not suitable at all, haha, it's so ugly."

No woman, even a girl, would like to hear others say she is fat.

Seeing Elizabeth say this, Ivanka, the daughter of a golden retriever, was immediately unhappy: "I'm just better and taller than you," the girl said, straightening her waist, and then squinted to Elizabeth's chest with great lethality: "Scarf."

Hairdressing?

The lethality was really great. The girl immediately let go of Simon and rushed towards Ivanka beside the bed. Her slender body directly threw the girl who was obviously a little taller than her on the bed, and she still fought half-truely.

Simon is here to watch the fun, so of course he won't help.

When I came to the sofa against the wall, the girls who had seen Simon's eyes shining with little stars immediately gave up their seats to him.
Chapter completed!
