Chapter 1258 Amulet(1/2)
When the bustling day in South Korea ended, the Simons were in the UK.
It's still noon on Thursday.
A lunchtime reception is being held in a five-story mansion on the Thames River in South Kensington. British Prime Minister Blair, the head of News Corp. Rupert Murdoch, who happened to be in London, and Richard Branson, founder of Virgin Group, and other celebrities from all walks of life in politics and business in London.
The theme of the cocktail party is ‘3G plan’.
3G, 3 Goals.
It is still Simon's three goals that have been constantly brewing and improving in the past few years.
This is a 3G planned European tour.
I have been to Rome before. The first stop was, and I went to Sophia for a two-person world. The second stop in the UK and will return to the United States after that. As for cities such as Paris and Berlin, it is not on the list of Simon's itinerary, so I don't have that much time and it is difficult to talk about it together.
In fact, this is also the advice given to Simon by the Westeros family think tank team.
Simon's personal assets are getting bigger and bigger, which inevitably makes more and more people in the world feel afraid. Therefore, whether true or false, Simon must make a statement.
What is Simon going to use for such a sum of money?
Simon understood this very well, just like when his classmates at the age of 40 began to promote their fantasy that they would devote themselves to charity. Although most people did not know what charity Gates did in the next twenty years, this was a good amulet.
Simon also needs an amulet.
The 3G plan, this is one thing Simon really intends to do, just so happens to be a talisman for Simon.
The fundamental purpose of this plan is to push mankind into the next stage of civilization, whether it can be achieved in the end, it is an impeccable gimmick.
After all, if Simon also said he wanted to do charity, it would be hard to say which charity projects could carry for him at a trillion-dollar personal wealth.
To push mankind into the next stage of civilization, such a great goal, that anyone with a little bit of concept of money can understand, will definitely cost money.
However, the ITER, particle collider, new generation space shuttle and other projects that have been gradually disclosed by the media recently are investing billions and tens of billions of dollars.
At this stage, in addition to national support, only Simon can afford to support the long world wealth list.
Since Simon needs another amulet, he will promote it with great fanfare.
Whether the outside world believes it or not, whether it recognizes the 3G plan, this is a reasonable note by Simon on the future destination of his huge personal wealth.
Inside the lobby of the mansion.
It is probably because of elites who can see through many things. The guests on the scene are not very enthusiastic about the 3G plan, and the focus of the topic is basically on Asia, especially in South Korea recently.
British Prime Minister Blair talked about this matter with Simon shortly after the reception began: "Frankly, Simon, we have received relevant lobbying from Washington, and the news that the IMF signed an agreement with South Korea. However, everyone wants to confirm that this time will not be a trap again, right?"
What Simon wanted was just a publicity campaign, and he didn't care about everyone's off-topics. Hearing the words, he followed the process and said with a smile: "Tony, I don't know what you are talking about?"
Blair was not angry, and smiled and pointed Simon's army: "Then I can only tell them that this time is still a scam. Haha, you don't know, because of the incident in Hong Kong, Deutsche Bank has been almost in a major purge recently. Rolf Brauer worked for Deutsche Bank for 12 years and just became CEO in the first half of the year. He was recently kicked off the stage. There are also many executives who were once very optimistic and forced to leave. This is simply a disaster. Everyone doesn't want this to happen to them."
When Simon heard Blair say this, he shook his head slightly and said, "I have been CEO for only 12 years. My foundation must not be deep enough. I think this is the reason why Brauer stepped down."
"Ha, Simon, this is not the key to our discussion."
Simon didn't mean to slip into Blair too much, and said confidently: "Okay, Tony, I promise, this time is definitely not a trap. South Korea's situation is different from Hong Kong. Stop debt recovery will be beneficial to everyone. Otherwise, if a bunch of Korean companies go bankrupt, we will not be able to collect anything."
"But, I also received news that because of the IMF agreement, South Korea broke out again in protests like that on October 18?"
"Yes, but your news is not new enough," Simon said. "This will soon calm down."
Blair obviously didn't believe it: "Simon, I haven't heard of any protests that can be calmed in the short term?"
"Tony, the reason why a pot of water boils must be because someone has been burning the bottom of the pot. If the burning wood is pulled away, the boiling water will cool down soon. Many people in South Korea are busy doing this. The latest news is that the crowd outside the Blue House in South Korea has dispersed. Of course, as you said, the protest will not stop immediately, just like the bottom of the pot where the wood is pulled away will still retain Mars. There will definitely be people who will be dissatisfied in the next few days and continue to take to the streets, but it has nothing to do with the overall situation."
"Simon, is this your guarantee?"
"Yes."
"Okay, the UK will try its best to cooperate with this rescue operation," Blair also gave his own statement, and changed the subject, and then said: "However, Simon, everyone should always gain something to cooperate with your operation in South Korea, right?"
Simon went through the process again: "Tony, this is not to cooperate with my actions in South Korea, but to help Korea, an Asian ally, with Britain, the United States, Japan and other countries. I just do business by the way."
Blair was helpless and did not go around the corner: "Simon, we probably know that you are very interested in some Korean companies and are negotiating acquisitions. I hope some banks in the UK can also participate, which is what we deserve."
Simon thought about it for a moment and said, "You can pay $2 billion, and you can form a merger and acquisition consortium together."
"Simon, that's too little."
"The total scale of this part of the acquisition that is under negotiation is less than US$20 billion. If you take 10%, I am very sincere. Otherwise, I can guide you to acquire some garbage assets at will. If you are willing to pay 20 billion, I don't care."

For Samsung and other companies, Simon also did not intend to monopolize it. He still had the previous strategy. He only needed to ensure control of the Westeros system. On this basis, sharing some benefits and pulling more people on board will only benefit the Westeros system.
When Blair heard Simon say this, he pondered for a moment, but still couldn't help but bargain: "Simon, 2 billion pounds, how about it?"
Simon shook his head: "Only $2 billion, Tony. However, this is just the first phase of investment. To be honest, I also have the best batch of assets I like, so of course I will get more. There are not that important next thing, and then, if you want to, you can get more shares."
Seeing Simon insisting, Blair had to give up, but in fact he was quite satisfied.
Just as we were about to ask for some details, a commotion came from the other side of the gate. The two of us looked over together and it turned out that a special guest was coming.
Princess Diana.
Seeing the woman surrounded by a group of guests to greet her, Blair frowned slightly and said to the young tycoon beside him: "Simon, you shouldn't have invited Princess Diana over."
Simon just smiled and nodded slightly to Blair, and took the initiative to meet him.
Seeing Simon like this, Blair was even more helpless, but then he had some strange thoughts.
Blair is also aware of Simon Westeros' preferences.
if……
Perhaps, the royal family will not be so embarrassing.
This is how human psychology is.
After the divorce of Prince Diana and Prince Charles over the years, the men they have been looking for, whether in the royal family, Downing Street, or even most British people, are actually very fond of.
Moreover, those who know the inside story more clearly know more about it. To a large extent, Princess Diane is just being angry and deliberately embarrassing the royal family.
A willful woman.
On the other hand, when Simon saw him walking towards him, the guests who had been surrounded by Princess Diana dispersed consciously, and Simon walked smoothly through the crowd and walked forward.
Speaking of which, we must know each other, but this is the first time we met.
Before this, Simon and Diana had an intersection when she was at Christie's auction two years ago. Diana donated a necklace to do charity. At that time, Simon called for a price for the venue, but she did not win it in the end.
Princess Diana looked at this long-known young tycoon with curiosity.
Suddenly receiving the invitation from the other party, Princess Diane didn't want to come. After all, she had heard of the reputation of a certain guy. In recent years, she has been entangled by many self-righteous playboys.
However, because of curiosity, and, after all, an invitation letter written by Simon Westero, she finally planned to come and reveal it.
I also found another excuse for myself in advance.
Fundraising.
She now supports several charitable funds under her name, all of which require a lot of money. And Simon Westeros, there is no rich man in this world who is greater than him.
When Westeros approached, Princess Dia, who looked up slightly, felt the seemingly gentle but unidentified smile in the other person's expression, and habitually raised her hand to the other person.
Simon looked at the woman in a black long skirt in front of him and gently held a small hand in front of him. However, the hand that had just been kissed by several old men, he had no intention of getting up. He just used a little force and pulled Princess Diane sideways and walked towards the hall, saying, "I'm glad to see you, Diana, go and dance together?"
Simon held his little hand and walked a few steps along the other person's strength. When he heard the man's words, he wanted to break free, but quietly tried to find that he couldn't get out of it at all. There were people around him. In addition, the other person's identity was difficult to turn against him, so he could only follow him obediently.
When I found that there were only two of them on the dance floor, as the music reminded me, the man was already hugging her waist.
this……
What a rude guy!
Thinking in his heart, while he was dancing, Princess Diana finally said to someone softly: "Simon Westeros, you are so rude."
Simon smiled and leaned into the woman's ear: "Do you like gentleness?"
Detecting the heat in his ears, Princess Diane twisted her neck to avoid it, glared at someone, and said viciously: "I swear I will never want to see you again."
In response to these words, the standard process should be ridicule.
Only the little girl makes such a vow.
Simon did not go through the process this time, but said, "Actually, I was also surprised. I thought I would never see you in person in my life."
Princess Diane, who was originally angry, was immediately puzzled: "What does it mean?"
"you guess?"
"A mysterious guy, when this song is over, I will leave immediately. You are so rude."
"What a shame, because I didn't kiss your hand like those men, and I respectfully call you Your Highness?"
"Oh."
"Um?"
Princess Diane began to talk sharply: "You poor boy, nouveau riche, I suddenly understand why you have never seen the queen in these years."
"Why?"
"Because you are inferior, you are just a person who doesn't even know who your biological parents are...ah...you, how dare you..."
