As July begins, Xishi is working hard everywhere to be a dad.

On July 7, at the Dumei Point Manor, the second child of female assistant Jennifer was born, the boy was named James Westeros. On July 11, the child of Maria Bezrook of Boston was born, the boy was named Daniel Westeros. Then, on July 15, the child of Grace Crep of New York was born, and was still a boy, named John Westeros.

Then Erin Lauder's delivery date was close to the point, only Lin Su's due date was slightly further in September.

Simon's biggest feeling about this is still the same as when he first learned about the gender of the fetus.

They are all kids.

They are all kids, not even a little cotton-padded jacket.

Long Island, in a manor near the sea southwest of Southampton.

It is Wednesday, July 16th.

When Bryce Levison heard the news, he rushed from Manhattan and quickly entered the villa. When he entered the door, he asked a waitress who was greeting: "Where is the person?"

The waitress made a gesture of invitation and led Bryce to the door of a suite on the east side of the villa, but was stopped by Carmen Keith, who was guarding the living room outside the suite: "Ms. Levison, the boss and Ms. Crep are resting."

"It's morning now, what are you resting?"

Bryce said, aiming at the door next to him, and while Carmen was not paying attention, he went straight to push the door and broke in.

Then I saw a man who seemed to have just sat up from the bed, and Grace was covering her clothes with a slightly red face. On the crib next to the two, a little bit was sleeping soundly.

Just glanced at Bryce who had entered in coldly, Simon turned to Grace and said, "You have a good rest. I'll go to work first. Call me if you have something to do."

Grace nodded softly, watching the man leave, and then glared at Bryce: "Don't you know how to knock on the door?"

Bryce was caught by the cold gaze of a man just now. When the other party left, he realized that he was assured again. He walked to the crib and looked at a little bit, and said, "You have just given birth to a baby, so I can't wait."

Grace's blush that had just retreated appeared a little more: "Nothing is what you said."

The child was born yesterday. Although he looked pink and tender and cute, Bryce did not pick him up. After looking at him for a while, he also came to the bed and sat down. He was about to speak, but suddenly sniffed, and then looked at Grace's chest again. He suddenly understood what a guy was doing before he came in. He seemed to have grabbed some handle. He couldn't help but smile proudly, and even teased: "What a hateful guy."

Seeing Bryce reacting, Grace did not make any arguments. She just pulled the thin blanket on her body, changed to a more comfortable position and leaned on the bed, and reminded her: "Please take care of your mouth, he will be angry."

"What's there? I lack love after a child. When I grow up, I don't think I'll come to bully us."

Grace raised her hand and slapped her: "If you say that, I'm going to be angry."

"Okay, okay, I won't say it." Bryce finally felt that his words were a little inappropriate, so he raised his hand to surrender, and then said, "What is he going to arrange for you?"

"What's the arrangement?"

"Now the little guy is born, by the way, what's his name?"

"John."

"I really don't have any personality."

Grace raised her lips slightly: "John Westeros."

Bryce suddenly felt a little sour and took the initiative to return to the topic: "Okay, I mean, did he not have any other expressions, at least give you a large amount of alimony or something?"

Grace looked softly at the little dot in the crib next to her, who was within reach: "This is the best thing he gave me, I don't want anything else."

"Oh, you're so stupid."

"You are smart, so you definitely can't get pregnant with his baby."

"He is willing, but I don't want to. It hurts so much," Bryce immediately curled his lips, but also knew the other meaning of Grace's words, and then said, "What's more, if I... that, how can you get along with Rita and my Mike in the future."

Grace just smiled.

The relationship between the two women has always been very stable. If nothing unexpected happens, it is very likely that they will be together in the future.

However, these are not things that Grace pays too much attention to. Even the little guy next to her is still behind him in her heart. She will support whatever he wants to do.

Bryce saw some hopeless expression on Grace's face again, and directly reached out to gesture: "I really want to wake you up."

Perhaps disturbed by the sound of the two of them talking, the little bitch in the crib moved, then opened his eyes, looked around in a daze, and started crying in a blink of an eye.

Grace quickly got up and took the child into her arms, lifting her clothes back.

The crying stopped quickly.

Bryce sat next to him and looked at him, and couldn't help but tease: "One big and one small, I'm afraid it's not enough to eat."

Grace just gave her a blank look.

In fact, privately, people have already started looking for wet nurses and planned to feed their children together.

as well as……

Even though he knows that there are other women around him who have given birth to children recently, as long as he wants it, he will definitely give priority.

I also thought that the wet nurse I found must be more beautiful, and it would be fine to spend more money.

Then next to him was Bryce who saw her expression and rolled her eyes helplessly.

Simon did not leave.

In a study room upstairs of the villa, Simon sat at the desk. Girl A quickly sent a copy of information, but it was a video conference that had been made in advance.

About Nokia.

In addition to discussing the latest Nokia quarterly financial report that will be released soon, it is mainly another matter.

"In the Southeast Asia, Yoma, you must have paid attention recently," Simon said, looking at Nokia Chairman and CEO Yoma Olila on the display screen: "The matter is related to South Korea. I have read Nokia's supply chain information in recent days. In the next year, I need you to try your best to compress and even cut off the procurement of displays, flash memory and other parts from manufacturers such as Samsung in South Korea."

Yoma Olila, who is far away in Helsinki, was a little surprised: "Simon, I have indeed paid attention to Southeast Asia recently. The depreciation of currency in Southeast Asian countries has brought great benefits to our parts procurement. Moreover, you know that the supply chain collapse crisis that Nokia experienced in the past few years, and the current parts procurement system took us several years to complete. I don't understand?"

"It's very simple. I plan to take advantage of this opportunity to expand into underlying fields such as monitors and semiconductors. Japan is too large and the impact of this crisis will not be too big. So in Southeast Asia, I chose related industries to develop rapidly to South Korea in recent years. Nokia needs to cooperate with our overall strategy to put extreme pressure on Korean manufacturers."

"I get it," Yoma Olila nodded, and thought for a while, "But Simon, I don't think it's necessary. Monitors and semiconductors are both cyclical industries, with strong technicality, fierce competition, and huge investment. I don't think it's a good idea for you to enter these fields."

"My opinion is the same as you," Simon said patiently, "but, even though I know it is difficult and the risk is high, the Westeros system has no choice. After this crisis, there will be another wave of integration in all industries, whether in North America, Europe, or even Asia. The LCD screens, semiconductors and other industries will become increasingly concentrated in certain large manufacturers. Whether in order to ensure the security of their supply chains or for interests, we must do this. Yoma, I explain this to you not to say that I am discussing with you. This is an order. I need Nokia to come up with a reduction plan for me within a week."

Yoma Olila, who was thousands of miles away, felt the firm eyes of her boss. Finally, hesitated for a while, nodded in agreement, and couldn't help asking: "Tinkobaier will also cooperate with this plan, right?"

"Of course, not only Tinkobaier, but also Cisco. In addition, at critical moments, I will also lobby for PC manufacturers such as IBM."

"There is another question, Simon, how long will this plan take to be implemented?"

"At the fastest year, the longest will not exceed two years. The Southeast Asian economy will only begin to have a practical impact on the economies of various countries next year after the financial crisis this year. It will probably turn to reply in two to three years. We have two years to operate this matter."

Yoma Olila nodded again, and finally couldn't help saying: "Simon, we, I mean, we count Tinkobaier, our purchase volume is very large. If we reduce the purchase of Korean manufacturers, it is difficult to say whether Japanese, Korean, or European and American manufacturers will take the opportunity to raise prices."

"That's your business, but you just said that the subsequent currency depreciation of Asian countries will greatly reduce our procurement costs. You can turn more orders to Japan. Even if Japan will not have too much trouble this time, the depreciation of the yen is certain."

"If I remember correctly," Yoma Olila smiled inexplicably: "The United States has been suppressing Japan's semiconductor industry over the years. Now, if we increase our procurement of Japan together, it is hard to say whether it will allow Japanese manufacturers to take advantage of the situation to rise again."

"No," Simon said very affirmed: "The weakening goal of Japan has been achieved. The relevant industries in this country may still maintain their technological advantages for many years, but it is impossible to prosper again."

"Simon, I don't understand?"

"My time is precious. If you are interested, you can study the current economic situation in Japan by yourself."

"Okay," Yoma Olila shrugged: "I will pass on the cuts to you in a week."

After finishing the video call, Simon looked through the daily briefing materials for the Southeast Asian financial crisis that Girl A had just sent, while thinking about the discussion just now.

It's time to make some preparations for replacing the Nokia leader in the future.

Then I thought of another technology company that is also the core of the Westeros system, Cisco.

John Chambers.

and Yoma Olila of Nokia.

The two will definitely need to be replaced within the next five to ten years.

This does not mean that Simon is dissatisfied with Yoma Olila's failure to obey his own words. In fact, if the executives of subordinate companies do not have any opinion and obey their own words, Simon will feel troublesome.

Mainly, he has been in charge of the two companies for too long, and both executives who made great contributions to the development of the company in the early stage will inevitably fall into mediocrity in the later stage.

This is obvious from the development of the two companies.

Nokia, which was once in its prime around the millennium, later basically withdrew from the field of mobile phone manufacturing. Until Nokia was sold to Microsoft, although it no longer served as a front-line executive, Yoma Olila was still the chairman of the company.

The decline of Nokia is absolutely inseparable from Yoma Olila.

Then there is Cisco.

The most distinctive contrast is Cisco and Huawei.

When Cisco reached its peak in the field of network equipment in the 1990s, Huawei was just starting out and was once forced to sell itself out by Cisco's patent lawsuit.

Then, Huawei began to rise, not only gaining a foothold in the field of network equipment, but also expanding its business to communication base stations and later mobile phone manufacturing. Looking at Cisco, many years later, it still relied on its network equipment business and made almost no achievements in other aspects.

As for the reason, Chambers is also successful and Chambers is defeated.

John Chambers did not step down as CEO of Cisco until 2015. Although he led the company to its peak for 20 years, he missed almost all other technology trends in the field of network equipment manufacturing.

To put it bluntly, these legendary managers who once expanded their territory almost never escaped the result of losing their enterprising spirit.

Just like countless old kings in history who were wise and chaotic in the late period.

Thinking of this, Simon did not forget himself.

The development of Westeros system to its current scale has reached its peak in the eyes of too many people. If Simon is not complacent and slackening in his heart, it is a lie.

Simon just didn't know when he would become another incompetent old king.

Then I thought of a group of boys who have been born one after another.

Tsk.

The Westeros family's asset power struggle will probably be very lively in the future.

This matter needs to be planned early after all.

In fact, many ideas have been brewing in Simon's mind. For his children, he certainly does not want to go to many wealthy families in the future to compete for their family property. In fact, this matter is easy to solve. The previous generation of families planned everything they should plan early and gave it to whom they should give it. He did not want the Gary family, who was famously stingy, to hold everything down the last moment of his life, and then a big cake downstairs made his descendants burst into blood.

After all, Simon is very confident that he can handle these things well after two lifetimes.
