Chapter 1325: Standing up
Simon's 30th birthday is far less ostentatious than when he was 20 years old, but it is unlikely to be low-key.
What remains unchanged is Simon's invisibility strategy that has long been determined.
In order to reduce the popularity of public opinion as much as possible, the Westeros family's huge public relations team has been launched in advance. Simon's request is that reporters must not gather outside the Dumei Point Manor on his birthday. Mainstream media with slightly influential influence in North America and overseas must minimize reports on related topics on this birthday.
In short, it makes the public feel that Simon Westeros’ 30th birthday is not a big deal.
As for the birthday itself, it is still necessary to handle it.
What Simon pursues is only invisibility from the public, and never actively gives up his influence. He even becomes a puppet like Howard Hughes in his later years because he was forgotten.
Therefore, on Sunday, Dumei Point Manor arranged two parties, at noon and evening.
At the afternoon open-air birthday party, the guests were mainly from the core leaders of the huge Westeros system, including political and business celebrities from all over the world, as well as many big names in the fashion entertainment circle, and invited more than 1,200 guests who came from all over the world.
In order to ensure that the reception was smooth, the Westeros family just opened up security and waiters with more than 500 people, and also booked high-end suites in some top hotels in Los Angeles for free for outside guests to settle in.
On the other hand, this Sunday morning, when luxury cars picking up and dropping off guests outside Dumei Point Manor shuttled and flowed like flowing water, except for some nearby residents, there was almost no news in the media.
This is exactly the result of the operation of the Westeros family's PR team.
Most media that want to track Simon's 30th birthday have basically cancelled the relevant topics after being greeted by the Westeros family's public relations team. Some small media or free reporters who are unwilling to give up their hot topics once wanted to come and wait. After confirming their identities, they quickly voluntarily withdrew under the fixed-point operation here.
As for the reason, it is true that the media claims to be the uncrowned king, but the uncrowned king also has to eat. Western media claims to be free, but because of the general commercial operation, freedom doesn't matter once it meets a funder. The large number of corporate giants controlled by the Westeros system are currently super funders that no commercial media dares to anger.
Large media's interests are intricate and easy to greet. If a small media is unwilling to surrender, even if only half of your advertising revenue is cut off, it is not far from going bankrupt and breaking up. Even if a free reporter who considers himself a bachelor, if there is no media publishing your news from now on, isn't it more free?
As a result, media with a little sensitivity felt that it was exposed to a grand banquet that was very difficult to find many words on various media platforms such as print media, television, and the Internet.
Dumei Point Manor.
The black Bentley sedan passed three review levels unknowingly and finally stopped beside a spacious corridor inside the manor.
The driver opened the car door and Choi Tae-won took his wife Lu Su-young out of the car. Even if one was the second-generation head of the South Korean SK consortium and the other was the daughter of former South Korean President Lu Tae-woo, he definitely had no lack of vision. Feeling the atmosphere of the guests passing by and waiters around him, he was still a little nervous. The couple inevitably felt like a countryman who had almost never been to the city since childhood.
Of course they have been to Los Angeles, more than once.
The problem is that this is Dumei Point Manor, Simon Westeros' home, and it is almost the wealth center of the world today. Compared with the statistics of the national wealth of the entire South Korea, perhaps it is not as good as Simon Westeros.
Fortunately, before the two of them were confused, a maid wearing a black uniform greeted her. When the couple hesitated a little and said, the other party had already greeted them in skillful Korean and made a gesture of invitation: "Mr. Cui, Mrs. Cui, welcome. I am the two translators today. You can call me Katie."
Choi Tae-won was still calm, but Lu Su-young couldn't help it. He looked at her husband's arms and walked towards the registration office in front of the corridor. While looking at the white girl with brown hair and shallow eyes beside her, he also said in Korean: "How can you speak Korean?"
The maid heard Lu Suying speak and felt a little regretful about her questions. There was no indecent details in her expression. She smiled and said, "Mrs. Cui, I studied East Asian languages in college."
Listening to the conversation between his wife and the waiter, Choi Tae-won couldn't help but sigh.
Looking back on the details along the way, the driver sent by the Westeros family to pick up people has been constantly connected with someone through wireless communication. It is obviously ready for it. In fact, it is true that if so many customers today are not adjusted clearly and crowded over, it will definitely make Dumeiji Manor's scalp numb.
And at this moment, everything seemed in order.
When he came to the registration office, not only did he check it manually, but a machine like face recognition appeared. Lu Suying obviously heard the camera sweeping over the couple and made a slight drop of confirmation. In addition, the waiter who checked the invitation letter also confirmed with the waitress who greeted them.
This is obviously a multiple protection.
Add to that several levels that started when we came from entering a private street, and it would be a miracle if someone could sneak into this party today.
After confirming his identity, when the waitress led them to the reception, the couple looked at each other. Lu Suying took out a hand-sized gift box with exquisite packaging from her bag and said to the waitress: "Katy, although the invitation letter stated that you do not need to bring gifts, we think we should still express it. May I ask..."
The waitress saw the gift box in Lu Suying's hand, smiled and turned slightly, heading towards another road, and said, "Thank you for your kindness, please here."
It turned out that there was another reception desk hidden behind the holly fence.
After giving the gift and registering it briefly, the couple finally followed the maid to the party scene, sighing at the thoughtful consideration of details on the manor. The reception desk for receiving the gift was placed on the other side of the fence, so that guests carrying the gifts could be easily given, without making the guests who did not bring the gifts as prompted by the invitation.
Lu Suying observed silently throughout the whole process, and had made up her mind to reorganize her waiter team after she went back. Even if the scale was definitely not as large as the Westeros family, she still had to pursue the quality.
Gifts were sent, and soon we arrived at the cocktail party on the artificial lakeside on the west side of the manor along the corridor.
There are already crowds of people here.
When the couple glanced over, they soon found some familiar faces. Lu Suying also signaled to a white old man who was chatting with a group of people nearby: "Taiyuan, look, is that George Soros?"
Choi Tae-won also noticed.
After all, this old man has upended Asia since last year, and South Korea has not been able to escape. Therefore, personal images have also appeared widely in media in Asian countries and can be recognized at a glance.
He nodded and replied to his wife, Choi Tae-won subconsciously looked at Katie next to him.
Choi Tae-won didn't hate George Soros in his heart, and he really wanted to go over and call him to meet him, but he didn't know if it was appropriate.
The waitress Katy felt Choi Tae-won's gaze and immediately said, "You two can get two glasses of wine first."
The couple each took a glass of red wine from the waiter's tray that passed by, and Katie led them to George Soros.
George Soros was also quite curious when he saw an Asian couple approaching him. After Katie's skill, he quickly understood. He greeted the two with a smile and took the initiative to talk about SK, which made Choi Tae-won and his wife even a little flattered. Unexpectedly, the old man also knew his own company.
Actually, this is because of Simon.
Following Simon's advice, Quantum Fund was gradually turning to traditional investment after World War I in Asia. Simon kept a close eye on South Korea and betting on South Korea's electronics industry. It was natural that George Soros could not not pay attention to it. Therefore, he had carefully studied several major chaebols in South Korea in private. Quantum Fund had also prepared funds and planned to follow up on investing in South Korea.
The two sides chatted and each had their own intentions. Finally, they exchanged contact information and agreed to find an opportunity to have coffee together in private, and then they separated.
After leaving Soros, Choi Tae-won and his wife quickly found their next target. This was the result of Katie's quietly introduced. Although the president of the International Monetary Fund did not directly control the IMF team in South Korea, it would definitely not be harmful if they had a good relationship.
After several hours of continuous development, various social engagements between different races, different skin colors and different languages were performed.
Of course I met the owner during this period and I greeted him briefly.
Although they didn't say a few words, Choi Tae-won and his wife felt that this trip was good because they met too many connections that could be of great help to SK Group in the future.
The reception, which started at 10 a.m. and lasted until 3 or 4 p.m., finally ended, but the guests and hosts enjoyed the whole time.
Such a huge social gathering that is definitely the world's top, even if you can't talk too much to the host, it is enough for everyone to get what they need to contact a large number of people.
Of course, through this powerful appeal, the owner is the one who has the greatest potential benefits.
After the grand lunch party, the evening is a birthday party between relatives and friends.
Even after repeated compression, sixty or seventy people were still present.
It was so lively and noisy that the Dumei Point Manor finally calmed down until the early morning.
Beside the glass curtain wall of Shell Villa.
After turning off most of the lights, sitting on the sofa by the wall, you can vaguely see the sea and stars outside the curtain wall.
Simon hugged Janet, who had stepped down from her expensive dress and changed into a lazy home dress posture. He heard the woman's little complaints, and said with a smile: "Jenny and Sophie are still busy. I will see a lot of people again in the next few days, and you are the most leisurely."
Today, Dumei Point Manor has three mistresses, in addition to Janet, there are also Jennifer and Sophia.
Janet heard Simon teasing, pretending to be dissatisfied and grabbed the man with a big hand and put it on his mouth and bit it gently. After a while, he raised his face and looked at Simon, and suddenly he used a name that he had not mentioned for a long time: "Little bastard, it seems that in a blink of an eye, you are 30 years old."
"Yeah, you..."
Simon made a gesture to speak, and immediately bit her hand again with warnings. He shut up and just lowered his head and kissed Janet's fragrant and soft hair.
Seeing that Simon did not continue, Janet let go of him and raised her face again: "What wish did you make when you cut the cake tonight?"
"You can't say it, it won't work if you say it."
"Then, is there my share in my wish?"
"Of course, you're ranked first."
Janet was immediately satisfied, and his body arched backwards and pressed against Simon tighter. He looked out of the curtain wall together, feeling the tranquility of mutual dependence. After so many years, he had experienced everything he should have experienced, and gradually became more and more like the song he played casually. The last sentence was heart-wrenching for the most beautiful ordinary.
After a while, Janet spoke again: "Little bastard, I love you."
Simon whispered, "I love you too."
Janet listened to the man's naturalness, but paused, then bent the corner of his mouth.
It seemed that it was a long time ago, and she had said this more than once, and then he always said, I know, that tone was really a bastard.
this time……
So I decided to take it more and more: "Little bastard, you love me, why do you always look for other women?"
Simon said: "Because I am a man, I am still a very powerful and powerful man, of course I have to occupy many women."
Janet's head moved: "So, you definitely don't love them, right?"
"Don't love."
"Well, the answer is so fast, I must be lying."
"Um."
"Are you really lying?"
"I'm just fulfilling the truth that I don't argue with women."
Janet pouted, her head slammed Simon's chest a few times, and finally made up her mind and said, "Actually, you can give Jenny and Sophie a little bit of my love."
Simon was still very easy to talk: "Okay."
Janet immediately became confused again, and after thinking for a while, he added: "I have to guarantee that more than 90%. No matter how many they have, they will add up to 10%.
"How do you quantify this thing?"
Janet began to sway his fingers with interest: "Jenny, well, 6%, Sophie, 3%, and finally, other women, if you think it's good, you can break a little out of the remaining 1% for them."
"Oh, so fine."
As he was talking, footsteps came from behind him.
Jennifer approached and sat down next to Simon, holding one of the man's arms while putting his head on his shoulder, and asked with a smile: "What are you talking about just now?"
"Jenny said, I'll share her love with you 6%.
