Chapter 1083 Sixth
"Because many companies will release quarterly and full-year financial reports this month, January is the most prone time to change. Joe, I want you to keep a close eye on the Federal Reserve. This month, not only can you not announce interest rate hikes, but even news of interest rate hikes cannot be spread. Once rumors appear, Greenspan needs to come forward in person at critical moments, and you also need to operate this."
"Greenspan has no big problem. He ends his second term this year. The president will announce in February whether to support his re-election. As long as he communicates well with the White House, he will cooperate with us before at least February."
"Very good," Simon nodded with satisfaction, looking at Joseph Schrapp on the sofa opposite, and said, "Last point, Joe, this matter is very important. I have to remind you that if you have personal funds to operate, just put them on Cersei Capital. You yourself, and those around you, I don't want to see any situation where you take this opportunity to hype tech stocks."
When Joseph Schrapp heard this, he felt a little nervous and said quickly: "Simon, I promise you that no news will flow from me, and there will be no such situation as you said."
"I hope so, Joe, you can also realize over the years that I will never treat those who are loyal to me unfairly, and I hope you will never let me down."
Inside the manor in the northern suburbs of Greenwich.
Simon and Joseph Schlap talked about it and walked out of the study together. The waitresses in the villa were busy sorting out.
Today is Friday, January 3rd.
After staying on the East Coast for more than a month, the Westeros finally returned to Los Angeles. After two Jenny took the children away first.
Simon set off on Sunday.
Not long after seeing Schrapp away, a custom black hawk from Westeros also landed on the lawn. Janet got off the plane and headed straight to Simon who was guarding the door of the villa.
He hugged intimately and returned to the villa with the man's arm. Janet talked about the meeting with Cersei Capital just now in Manhattan: "It has been arranged. Cersei Capital is the leader, Goldman Sachs, Morgan, First Boston and other companies will try their best to cooperate to ensure that once the market changes, there will be no one-sided selling frenzy. Moreover, even if I return to Los Angeles, I will continue to follow up in person during this period."
"In terms of media, James will also be watching the East Coast on the East Coast in the near future. So, if you think about it, are there any other problems?"
"The problem will definitely arise, but if we do this, it will be no big problem for Nasdaq to last until February or even March. There will be no need to go any further."
As the two said, Jennifer pulled the little Nick and sent the little guy to Simon's hand, saying, "It's ready, can you set off?"
Simon picked up his son and nodded, "I'll take you to the airport."
Two of the three private Boeing 767s in the Westeros family parked at Westchester County Airport, less than 5 kilometers from the North Suburb Manor.
The sun is just right on a winter afternoon.
Watching the two women take off on two private planes with their children one after another, the Boeing 767 turned into black dots and disappeared into the blue sky, and Simon, who was guarding the runway, returned.
Calculate the time, except for Simon's brief return to the West Coast, the family has been here for more than a month.
Of course it's not just because of the East Coast festive atmosphere.
In addition to sorting out the Westeros system at the end of this year, another very important thing is to lay out the new technology bubble that is about to burst.
Simon just met with Joseph Schrapp, Janet went to Manhattan to host the meeting in the morning, and even James Rebeld was responsible for following up on the East Coast media arrangements, etc., all because of this.
From the end of the US election in early November to the end of December, in just two months, the scale of short selling of Nasdaq futures and direct stocks for the new technology bubble quickly increased from around 10 billion US dollars before the election to more than 40 billion US dollars.
The mainstay of this large-scale short selling was Julian Robertson's Tiger Fund and the Mellon family standing behind the scenes.
Tiger Fund accounts for nearly half of the short selling scale of more than US$40 billion.
Although the cumulative short loss of shorts has exceeded US$3 billion in just two months due to the continued strength of the Nasdaq, the short capital of all parties has no intention of retreating and is still betting. After all, as long as the delivery is not made, the losses will only be a floating loss on the books. Once the operation goes smoothly and the Nasdaq collapses, it may only take one day, and the huge losses on the books will turn into profits.
As the biggest beneficiary of the prosperity of the new technology industry, the Westeros system must stand opposite to the bears no matter what aspect it considers.
Of course, the Westeros system is not a one-on-one fight.
In recent years, not to mention the capital of all parties that make large profits through new technology industries, even Washington, many politicians from the White House to Congress have used the prosperity of new technology industries to seize considerable political capital. Even if they understand that the bursting of the new technology bubble is inevitable, the political and economic power that tries to protect the new technology industry is far more than short capital.
Therefore, through the layout of this game under the Westeros system at all levels, even if the bubble is still not prevented, the Nasdaq, which is too serious, will eventually be overly severe, and it is still easy to delay the Nasdaq's collapse to the greatest extent, let as much short capital return as possible, and to crack down on the conservative old money forces in the United States.
Sending the women and the children away, Simon took a helicopter to Manhattan.
There was no other work arrangement for the rest of the afternoon, but secretly accompanied Lin Su to have a pregnancy test.
This is the sixth one.
After someone mentioned it, Lin Su quietly prepared for several months of pregnancy. Last month, she returned to North America, and the time was just right, so she easily got pregnant.
At the same time, six women were pregnant with their children. At some moments, Simon was inevitably under great pressure. Fortunately, if you think about it carefully, what you don’t need to be a dad in the future. In the future, the child will not need to be a dad to be exhausted and he will be much more relaxed.
All right.
However, in the next few years, I will definitely not have children easily.
After all, Simon hopes that the little guys can grow into qualified heirs of the Westeros family in the future. If there are too many, it is inevitable that they will not be able to take care of it.
Manhattan Upper West Side.
Chen Qing and Lin Su's residence. In the evening, Chen Qing, who had been working for a day, returned and saw her boss sitting in the living room flipping through a Chinese novel. The strong woman's temperament quickly disappeared and rushed over pitifully: "Boss..."
Simon hugged the woman's soft body casually, but was unmoved. He also said with a serious expression: "Remind that you and Asu are good sisters, and the children are also your two. Some of the thoughts must not be used on her, do you understand?"
Chen Qing originally wanted to act coquettishly, but she felt the solemnity in the man's tone. Although her expression was still aggrieved, she nodded formally: "I know, boss, Asu's child is originally the two of us. Well, I just want to give birth to one for you too?"
"I've said it a long time ago, at least wait for you to turn 30."
"Okay OK."
After saying that, he changed into a more comfortable position in Simon's arms and looked at the book in the man's hand together, but it was a book called "The Emperor Kangxi", which was actually Chen Qing just got it back in recent days.
"Boss, how about this book?"
"I only looked at the beginning, but it is very suitable for the first major project after the completion of the Ming and Qing Palace Gardens of Jinshu Cinema."
Lin Su came in with a fruit plate at this time. Seeing Chen Qing laid in Simon's arms, she was still showing off her eyes, and simply ignored her, just put the fruit plate down and sat quietly beside her.
Chen Qing leaned over and picked up the fruit plate. While feeding her boss, she said, "Jinshu Media recently sent a batch of film and television project materials. I was about to show it to the boss," and told the waitress Lily Farville, saying, "Boss, China's TV drama industry has developed very well in recent years. I think we don't need to wait for the Jinshu Film and Television City to start. There are also movies, "Speak Something" and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" have been filmed, and it is also time to choose new projects."
As he said this, Lily Farville quickly brought a stack of information over.
Chen Qing handed the fruit plate to another maid next to Christina, took the information, and said to Simon: "Last year, there was a very popular TV series in China called "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo", which tells the story of Liu Yong, a famous Qing Dynasty minister, fighting wits and courage with corrupt official Heshen. The actor who played Qianlong planned a new project called "Kangxi's Private Visit to the Secretly Bed", well... Boss, Kangxi, Qianlong, you should know all these?"
Simon smiled and nodded, still a little surprised. Unexpectedly, the Jinshu Media team could get the famous "Kangxi Private Visit" which was only filmed one, which is a super long-lived and popular series.
However, if you think about it again, it is not surprising.
There are only a few people in China's film and television industry at present, and the circle is very small.
Chen Qing continued to introduce that Simon also followed suit to look at a thick stack of film and television projects from China.
In addition to "The Private Visit to Kangxi" and "The Emperor of Kangxi" who just saw the original work, a project that surprised Simon, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".
"What's going on with this?"
"Boss, you have read this novel in the first place. I still remember your evaluation of this book by Boss. Well, a group of fools. Recently, I have read this novel and I find that what you said makes sense by Boss."
Chen Qingbala explained a few words: "In recent years, Hong Kong TVB TV station has been remake Jin Yong's martial arts series, and this year it just plans to launch "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". On the side of Jinshu, you must also know some of the situation in China, so Jinshu's team took the initiative to seek cooperation with Hong Kong and Taiwan, which can not only learn from experience and take the opportunity to cultivate their own team, but also accumulate political capital. "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is such a project. Jinshu plans to join forces with TVB and CCTV to create an annual martial arts drama jointly produced by China and Hong Kong. Of course, these are just intentions. If your boss doesn't agree, I will ask them to cancel it."
Simon did not answer immediately, but asked: "What is the name of the person in charge of Jinshu Media?"
"Wu Shanlin," Chen Qing said, noticing the expression of her boss, and immediately asked for credit with a smile: "This is what I have attracted. He is a fellow villager of mine. He graduated from Peking University and was originally working in the radio and television system of Jiangsu Province. He is a very capable person."
"We can train more in the future," Simon said directly: "As for these projects, we can do "Kangxi's Private Visits" and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" first this year. "Kangxi Dynasty" will be done as I just said, and we will wait until the Ming and Qing palaces are completed."
As he said that, he continued to flip down.
Although I have watched some other projects, I have not had the same influence as the three "Kangxi Private Visits". It was not until a stack of project introductions were about to bottom that I saw another one: "The Great Mansion".
Seeing Simon's attention, Chen Qing took the initiative to explain: "This is what Zhang Budian introduced, telling the rise and fall of a medical family in China for a century. Boss, if you are interested, I have detailed scripts on my computer."
Simon just finished reading the brief pages of the project in his hand and said, "Put it in addition, I won't read the script."
As he continued to flip, he didn't have much impression of the last few projects. Simon skipped directly and turned to the following film project information and said: "I have never thought about making any money in the media in China, but this does not mean that the team of the Jinshu Department can do whatever it takes. The shortcomings there happen to be commercial operations. China is not short of film and television talents who can make good works, but they often cannot fully tap the commercial potential of a project. This is what the Jinshu Department needs to pursue in many years in the future. In short, if one day I find that I'm not doing well, I will cut off all my support. Remember to tell them these words."
Chen Qing nodded to show her memory.
Simon looked through the film project information in his hand, remembered something, and said, "Didn't it meant Hong Kong and Taiwan? Why didn't he see a cooperation project with Taiwan?"
“No one was found for the time being.”
Simon thought for a while and said casually: "Qiong Yao, it must be right to look for her."
A phenomenal TV series like "My Fair Princess" should be useless. As for the various destructive things that happened later, you might be able to eat melons for decades away.
Chen Qing was surprised again: "Boss, do you even know Qiong Yao?"
"Well, it's definitely right to look for her."
"Then I'll let Jinshu contact you as soon as possible."
As he said this, Simon had soon seen a movie project in his memory: "The Devils Are Coming".
Chen Qing said on the side: "This is the latest creation of the screenwriter of "Speak Well". I think it is unlikely to be released in China. However, you should be able to win awards overseas, and there will definitely be benefits."
Simon finished watching it quickly and shook his head: "I remember telling you that Jinshu tried to only make entertainment movies in China, especially these movies that may cause controversy, don't touch any of them."
In fact, there is another reason.
It’s okay for the actor to say that if he were a director, Simon would definitely not work with Lao Jiang, the money-burning cheater, even if it was "Let the Bullets Fly".
Chen Qing followed the whole family and said, "Then I'll let Wu refuse."
Lin Su stood up and left to prepare dinner. Simon held Chen Qing and watched the film project information in his hand. Unlike many TV projects with treasures, except for another "Party A and Party B" recommended by Feng Kuzi, who was personally invited by Simon, who was preparing for "Love Call Transfer", there was no other script that interested Simon.
In the end, only Party A and Party B were decided.
In addition to the later "Say Something to Be Well" and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", there are "Love Call Transfer" and "Hero", plus "Party A and Party B", which is enough for Jinshu Media to work for two years in terms of movies.
After reading the information in his hand, Simon discussed with Chen Qing about the development plan for the Jinshu Department in the next few years until Lin Su came over and called for someone to have dinner.
