Chapter 1322: Xing Shi to ask for guilt?
"I remember you both said that when will you start creating your own fashion brand?"
"Simon, our course at Parsons Academy has not been completed yet. Moreover, Yuelei and I also found that this matter is not easy, and we should focus on modeling for the time being."
After the lively Anna Su Da Show, there is another lively after-party.
Simon is chatting with two girls Jian Xin and Tao Yuelei and talking about creating their own brands. After hearing what Jian Xin said, she just smiled and didn't intend to mention it. The fashion circle is full of people trying to create their own brands, and there are only a handful of successful people, and there are very few who have switched from supermodels to designers and achieved success.
The two girls unknowingly gave up, and as expected, they are just doing their jobs and can earn millions of dollars a year. Why bother to change careers?
After all, people are lazy and want to stay in their own comfort zone.
While chatting casually, Zhu Momo, who had changed his clothes, also came over, and Mo Wuling was still following behind him.
Zhu Momo rushed to Simon's arms and hugged them, kissed them again and again. Finally, he hugged Simon's arm and said hello to Jian Xin with the same look as if he was eating alone. Then, Zhu Momo's Jiang Mi, who liked to wear a high place, walked together with Shen Quan, who had short hair but charming temperament.
Qin Buzui is still in China.
Compared to Jian Xin, Tao Yuelei, Jiang Mi and Shen Gui, who were focused on developing her career, and Zhu Momo, who was suppressed by her mother to study in China and occasionally went out to open business, Qin Buzhu retired completely, and seemed to have no intention of continuing his modeling career and studying at peace. However, this girl is different from Ren Jingxi, and there is no sign of leaving Simon.
I can only say that women’s thoughts are difficult to guess.
When it was discovered that Simon was surrounded by a group of Eastern goblins, a group of Western goblins who were increasingly threatened quickly gathered, including Claudia Shiver, Cara Bruni and other supermodels who were finalists tonight, Angela Lindelwald, Michelle Alves and other small goblins who rose rapidly in the post-Visual Secret era.
In addition, those with famous flowers such as Cindy Crawford and Stephanie Seymour are inevitably attracted by the attention of this.
At the Yuxing Party, facing such a scene, not only men are jealous, but even women are inevitably scratched.
However, I can only be more jealous.
Who made it possible that Simon Westeros has only one person in the world?
Simon was finally snatched out of the fairy group by Chen Qing, and introduced to his boss the three girls Xie Qingtai and others who were specially called to show off to improve their style. He also casually said that there were too many people here, so Lin Zhao's sisters didn't come and sent them directly to Linhai Manor in Shadian City.
After dinner, Simon decided to spend the night there tonight.
Suddenly being called to the United States to attend Fashion Week, Xie Qingtai, Yu Xiaomin and Jing Xiaosui were already a little flattered. When they saw Simon, the three girls became even more trembling. This made Chen Qing, who was watching, feel a little too petty, so she simply sent her away in advance and told her to send her to the manor in Shadian City.
Chen Qing also took the initiative to say goodbye, saying that she would not disturb her boss's journey through the flowers.
The following social engagements tend to be normal.
Simon, tonight's main owner Anna Sue, and Angela Arenz, who had been promoted to the president of Melisandra Company, came from Europe to host the fashion week arrangements this time, and others greeted each other.
Then he had just talked with Stephanie Seymour and her publisher and collector husband Peter Brandt, and rejected the couple's party invitation. Three women with similar faces and non-tall figures came together, but it was Cathy Hilton and his two sisters, Kyle Richards and Kim Richards.
After smiling and greeting, Simon noticed the obvious uneasiness in the three expressions of the sisters. Cathy Hilton was better, and Kyle Richards and Kim Richards both looked like they were driven to the shelves by their sister.
He probably understood something and signaled to the sofa booth on the side of the hall. Simon walked over with three women, patted his side when he sat down, and said to the two small men, Richards: "Come, sit here."
Kyle Richards and Kim Richards looked at their sister at the same time and sat down obediently together.
So there was only one single Cathy Hilton who was left opposite the deck.
While Simon asked the waiter to change the drinks, Cathy Hilton quickly glared at the two unkind sisters. When the man opposite turned around, he immediately changed his expression. Seeing that the man handed him a cocktail in person, he even stood up to thank him.
When the waiter left, Simon leaned relaxed on the sofa, his empty hand casually hugging Kyle Richards on the side, and looked at Cathy Hilton opposite him: "So, Cathy, is there anything wrong?"
Cathy Hilton glanced at the strange hand that the man didn't know where he landed behind his sister's waist, took a sip of the cocktail before saying, "Simon, I want to say, about Paris and Nikki."
"Um?"
When Cathy Hilton saw the man opposite, he raised his eyebrows slightly and said quickly: "I, Simon, I'm not going to pursue anything, but Paris and Niki are still young, Simon, I hope you can understand, yes, love them."
Simon nodded: "I understand."
Kyle Richards, who had stiffened, soft and tense in private movements, wanted to roll his eyes when he heard his sister's words. She advised her sister more than once in advance not to talk about this with Westeros, not to talk about this with Westeros... Now, what is this?
Saying it means not saying it.
Moreover, I don’t know if it will backfire?
Seeing that Cathy Hilton was very sensible, Simon did not let the atmosphere fall into a cold situation. He took the initiative to talk about "The Wife of New York" which has been aired again after the winter break. He also said that if Cathy Hilton had any good ideas for TV programs, he could take the initiative to propose it, such as creating a special Hilton reality show.
Finally, he directly stated that Cathy Hilton had any daily needs, and he could also contact Angry Davis, the East Coast butler of the Westeros family.
The three Richards sisters all climbed up step by step from the bottom, became famous by relying on child stars, and then became famous socialites. In the end, the eldest sister Cathy Hilton successfully married into a wealthy family, which was the most successful one. Due to their passion and instinctive awe of money and power, there was no intention to investigate the matter between the Hilton sisters in Sundance tonight.
They also heard about a certain golden retriever being beaten up.
Simon made such a promise, even Cathy Hilton did not have any dissatisfaction.
After all, the so-called wealthy family of the Hilton family is actually far less glamorous than others imagined. Barron Hilton, who currently holds most of the wealth of the Hilton family, cannot even enter Forbes' 400 American Rich List, which shows that.
Kyle Richards and Kim Richards couldn't help but become more and more eager when they listened to the man's promise to his elder sister.
After Kim Richards finished speaking, she couldn't help but touched her petite body and said, "Simon, it's too noisy here. How about we find another place to have a few drinks?"
When Simon heard what the woman around him said, he raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Cathy Hilton: "Cathy, what do you mean?"
Cathy Hilton subconsciously grabbed the bag beside him, remembered his two daughters, shook his head and said, "I, you guys, go, I have to go home."
Kyle Richards followed and said, "Didn't Charlie go on a business trip? It doesn't matter if you go back later."
Cathy Hilton's husband, Richard Hilton, works for the Hilton Group, because it is a global hotel chain and often travels around the world.
Seeing that both sisters were about to push themselves into the fire pit, Cathy Hilton didn't expect a man anymore, and waited for the two of them, then looked at Simon: "I have to go back to take care of Niki and the others, no one watched them. They always go to bed late, delaying class tomorrow."
Simon smiled and said, "Simple, I'll wait and have someone take them over together."
Cathy Hilton: “…”
Without waiting for Cathy Hilton to say anything, Simon recruited a bodyguard not far away, whispered a few words, and asked the three girls to leave first, and he arrived later.
On the surface, it always needs to be concealed.
The next day is February 17th.
Tuesday.
Simon did not go to the manor in Shadian City last night, but another mansion in a town called Glenkov near Shadian City, Long Island. It is mainly located in the suburbs and is relatively private.
Because the five women of all sizes in the bedroom are very interesting, it is rare to get up late.
It was already past eight o'clock when I left the bedroom.
After breakfast, Simon received a very important news on the way to Manhattan by helicopter.
Indonesia changed the "floating exchange rate system" that abandoned the protection of exchange rates during the most turbulent financial storm last year to a "connected exchange rate system" and implemented financial controls in disguise.
This method is exactly the same as the measures taken by Hong Kong last year, which has caused another one-sided condemnation from governments, banks and media in Europe and the United States.
The causes and consequences are very simple, and the Asian financial crisis has never passed.
During this period, international financial speculators who had a brief cession during the New Year holiday once again launched an attack on Asia, with the first target being the Indonesian rupiah.
In early 1997, the Indonesian rupiah exchange rate against the US dollar was still at 2300 to 1. On Monday yesterday local time, after a rapid decline of more than half a year, the Indonesian rupiah exchange rate against the US dollar fell below a historical low, reaching a historical low of 15,000 to 1, with a cumulative depreciation of up to 85%, which is even deeper than the Korean won exchange rate during the worst period at the end of last year.
The Indonesian rupiah has almost become waste paper.
When the exchange rate fell below the 15,000-1 mark, the Indonesian authorities and the International Monetary Fund have been in constant secret negotiations and have not reached an agreement, and finally decided to follow Hong Kong.
Arriving in Manhattan, Simon organized a special meeting and also had a call with Soros to discuss the current Asian economic situation.
Simon doesn't care about Indonesia.
However, Asia can be said to have a single move, and Simon cannot help but pay attention.
After discussion, the result was that Indonesia's measures were difficult to work.
Because the problems in Indonesia and Hong Kong are different.
Hong Kong has sufficiently strong foreign exchange reserves, and it is backed by the mainland, and has very little foreign debt. Indonesia has given up its protection of the exchange rate due to exhaustion of foreign exchange reserves last year. It is impossible to accumulate much funds in just half a year. On the other hand, Indonesia has a total of up to US$180 billion in various debts.
Obviously, it's more like South Korea.
On the other hand, Indonesia has changed the floating exchange rate system to a linkage rate system similar to Hong Kong. It seems to be disguised exchange rate control, but there is no corresponding and decisive financial measures to assist. The market is still trading, but its own side has no bargaining chips, so it is doomed to fail.
In fact, it is difficult for international financial speculators to obtain too much direct profits from Asia.
Simon talked about this with Soros last year.
After one stop in Hong Kong, the peak of international financial speculators has passed.
The core purpose of the current action is more to promote Southeast Asian countries to completely open up their financial doors and implement complete financial liberalization. Even, to further promote the return of the US dollar and stimulate the US economy.
For ordinary people, this statement is inevitably a conspiracy theory.
In fact, this is the real result of the subsequent financial crisis in 1998, which is true on both timelines.
Not to mention that the Nasdaq Index has started a rapid surge for two years after the Asian financial crisis. This time, the new technology bubble that burst in March last year has lasted for less than a year, and it has also begun to rebound significantly since the beginning of the year. Since the beginning of the year, the Nasdaq Index has rebounded from the lowest level of around 3,100 points to the current level of more than 3,400 points. In more than a month, the cumulative increase is close to 10%.
After paying attention to things in Asia, Simon organized a video conference on the same day to discuss relevant countermeasures for the early recovery of the Internet industry with Silicon Valley.
So busy, Friday is coming in a blink of an eye.
Another box office week in Hollywood has passed, and it is also the last day of New York Fashion Week.
In terms of movies, as everyone expected, "Titanic" once again achieved a significant box office downturn in this box office week spanning Valentine's Day, regaining the box office championship position. In the 9th week of release, the box office not only did not decline, but rose by as much as 34%, earning 38.93 million US dollars, falling below 29.06 million US dollars last week, almost breaking through the 40 million mark again.
In its 10th week of release, the cumulative box office of "Titanic" once again reached a high of $456.04 million.
"The Witch" shortly won a weekly box office championship last week, and performed quite remarkable in such a popular Valentine's Day schedule. After $35.73 million in the first week, the second week fell by only 17%, earning $29.67 million, and the cumulative box office quickly reached $65.4 million.
For this ultra-low-cost pseudo-documentary film, the first week of $35.73 million is not a failure, but it is not very successful at a time when saturated distribution is becoming more and more common.
The key is the next week.
Now, the decline is only 17% the next week. Even though this second pseudo-documentary film, which was highly anticipated by Daenerys Entertainment, still achieved a very outstanding result.
Chapter completed!
