Money beauties, money and beauty are never separated.

I experienced beauty last night, and the next morning, Simon went to visit Money.

In fact, it is the latest batch of gold purchased by the Westeros system. It is located in the underground vault of the Westeros Building. This batch is 50 tons, a considerable amount.

It was also a non-public transaction from Eastern Europe.

After all, as we all know, Big Goose is the world's largest gold producer.

Continuing to hoard gold over the years is exactly the idea of ​​a long-term downturn in the 1990s. In fact, I have picked up a lot of cheapness. In other words, the price of gold has been hovering at a low of $260 per ounce, which is even cheaper than the three or four hundred per ounce in the previous years. It can be said that the gold price has been the lowest in the past 30 years.

As for the reason, it is fundamentally simple. In the 1990s, the US was at its peak in national power and strong national strength, which also meant that the credit of the US dollar, as a national currency, reached its highest point. One rises and the other falls, the US dollar strengthens, and as a certain extent, the opposite gold naturally weakens.

In short, over the past few years, through various public and non-public channels, including the latest batch of 50 tons, the gold reserves in North America and Australia have just exceeded 1,000 tons.

This is why Simon came here to watch the inclusion of this batch of gold today.

To be precise, a certain number is actually 1,036 tons. At the current price of $260 per ounce, this is actually only equivalent to $8.6 billion, which does not seem to be much. However, this actually exceeds the gold reserves of most countries in the world.

Just talk about the other side of the ocean, the current national gold reserves are only 450 tons.

What's more, this is just the price at the lowest value point at the moment.

According to the high point of gold price of $2,000 per ounce in the original time and space, the price of this batch of gold will immediately rise to $66 billion.

It seems that there are not many, but it is definitely the king of currency that does not require any credit guarantee in the world. When necessary, relying on this gold, the Westeros system and several times of leverage for financial operations is not a problem. In comparison, the US dollar, the same year of 2000, was actually a turning point in its prosperity and decline.

The evidence is also that gold prices have been rising all the way around 2,000 years.

In addition, the Westeros family's hoarding of gold will certainly not stop. Not to mention anything else, it is just that the Westeros system has quietly invested in a large number of gold mines around the world. It can be confirmed that several mines in Australia, Latin America and Africa have a comprehensive annual output of about 35 tons, and will continue to grow.

This batch of gold is not intended to be sold, and will only flow into the Westeros' own vault in the future.

It's interesting to say that Simon was initially worried that the matter of hoarding gold would attract more attention. However, the result was that attracting attention might not be able to escape, but the relevant news has always been limited to a very small circle.

The reason is also simple. In the era of credit currency, the fact that a super rich man hoarded gold was obviously inconsistent with the mainstream concept. If too many people know it, it would definitely damage the value of credit currency of all parties.

Therefore, Western countries have a very unified and selectively ignored this matter. Naturally, mainstream media public opinion will definitely not report it.

As for attitude?

There is definitely no shortage of people who are dissatisfied with Simon's actions, but Simon's actions did not obviously harm the interests of the specific person, so all parties just kept silent.

Occasionally, some people around who know the situation will joke about Simon's "stupid investment".

After the collapse of the Soviet Union, gold prices continued to fall for ten years and seemed to fall forever. But it wasn’t wise for someone to continue to buy gold for many years.

Simon just laughed at it.

As for the seemingly joking, no one is sure whether they will follow the trend in private. After all, the wealth miracle Simon has created over the years is obvious to all. In terms of making money, probably few people will feel that they have more vision than Simon Westeros.

After seeing the gold in stock, I went to the Westeros headquarters in Rockefeller Center to handle some work. At noon, Simon took a helicopter to Southampton.

There is an engagement party here today.

The parties involved were Grace's daughter Rita Spurt and Alexander Levison, the heir to the Levison family.

Rita Spurt is 22 years old. In 1997, he followed his boyfriend's footsteps and entered Columbia University to study international relations. Then, the girl was very smart and hardworking. She only took three years to graduate with her boyfriend who entered college one year earlier. Currently, both of them have joined Citibank with the advice and help of their parents.

The company did not go to Cersei Capital, the First Boston, or even the Levison Group, which was more related to family relations, to better train themselves. After all, this job is just an excessive amount, and both of them are actually heirs. Even if the scale of Elite is far less than that of Levison Group, Grace has confirmed that she will hand it over to her daughter in the future.

Of course, it is not to let her daughter participate directly. After all, Grace has always disagreed with her daughter entering the fashion circle, but even if she only inherits equity and controls behind the scenes in the future, it will be a considerable asset.

Then it's now.

The couple was able to successfully go from high school to college, and their relationship was always stable and they were also considered a good match, so they decided to settle the marriage first.

The cocktail party in Southampton was held by a manor of the Levison family. After the Levison Group gradually turned its foundation from Florida in the south to New York, the family began to buy more properties here.

The private Black Hawk helicopter stopped on the lawn, and Simon walked down the gangway, and a group of people came up.

The parents on both sides, Francis Levison and Bryce Levison, Grace Crep, with his son Ray, and Rita's father, Bill Spurt, and his little wife. They are surrounded by a pair of golden boys and jade girls, Michael Levison and Rita Spurt.

There are also some other important guests.

Simon greeted the adults on both sides, and just nodded to the people around him, then walked towards the boy and girl, smiled and congratulated him, handed over his gift, and did not forget to remind him: "Be careful, Mike, a little heavy."

Even in a suit, Michael Levison still couldn't hide his standard athlete's physique. His height of six feet and three inches was even taller than Simon. However, because someone deliberately made a prank reminder, the boy still noticed that the seemingly small exquisite gift box was obviously falling and almost lost his hand.

Fortunately, Simon did not let go completely and took advantage of the opportunity to help him hold him back.

However, in the end, Michael still had to hold the gift with both hands before he could take it firmly.

Everyone chuckled when they saw this, and couldn't help but wonder what Westeros gave, which was so heavy? It seemed that it was only a dictionary-sized box. Perhaps the heaviest thing was probably gold.

Not so cheesy, right?

Simon arrived and the cocktail party officially began.

The Levison family spared no expense to this engagement party, so they specially invited David Letterman as the host. Grace quietly greeted Simon and gave another expensive appearance fee to invite him.

Actually, Simon thinks that Jay Renault from NBC is more in line with the atmosphere here, but since he has chosen David Letterman, his own TV station, he cannot destroy his own station.

Perhaps it was because the boss personally greeted him, so he also gave enough money. David Letterman obviously prepared carefully. The whole process was frequently made and the atmosphere was quite lively.

The half-hour formal process passed by, and then it was free time to move.

After all, it is an engagement party for children. Not to mention Bryce Levison, even Grace, even if all parties know her relationship with a man, they still keep some distance from Simon intentionally or unintentionally, but this does not affect Simon's popularity at all.

Celine Dion, who was invited to sing for the cocktail party, just started the classic song "My Heart Will Go On", and Simon was surrounded by a group of little girls. Finally, a girl who claimed to be Michael Levison's cousin won the lead and pulled Simon into the lawn dance floor.

Then there are all kinds of things to take turns to fight.

A young wife of a banker who has no name, a daughter of a steel family who has no name, and a little TV star who has no name...

Just when Simon was a little happy and couldn't help but feel dizzy, today's heroine Rita Spurt helped him get out and came to invite him. After all, although Simon has never claimed to be anything in recent years, a man is quite good to her and her brother Lei. Whether it is a birthday or a festival, even if he doesn't come forward, he has never forgotten to give them a gift.

Rita, who changed into a small Gucci dress suitable for dancing, pulled Simon to the dance floor. As the jazz with soothing tone slowly danced, the girl finally asked: "Simon, what did you give me just now? Mike almost made a fool of himself?"

The girl said curiously, obviously with a little angrily.

Simon smiled and said, "Guess?"

Rita rolled her eyes lightly: "How can I guess?"

"I'll give you a hint," Simon said, "It weighs about 30 pounds."

Rita widened her eyes slightly, then she realized: "A box of that size weighs 30 pounds, only... gold?"

"Yes, gold." Simon half-joking: "I forgot to prepare the gift in advance. I happened to go to the vault in the morning and picked a gold brick for you."

Rita rolled her eyes again: "So cheesy."

As he said, he was inevitably even more curious.

Jinzi is certain, but thinking about this man's condition of being careful with his siblings over the years, he would definitely not carelessly forget to prepare for such an important occasion today, so he became more and more curious.

It's indeed gold.

Of course, Simon did not just take a piece of gold brick to make it up, but instead made a batch of very exquisite gold coins, which asked Chen Qing from China to help him find craftsmen to create. Each one had very beautiful words and pictures. Therefore, in addition to its own value, each gold coins can also be called a work of art and is very worth collecting.

Even very patient with collection.

After all, there is no more stable substance in this world than gold.

In addition, although he gave up a full 30 pounds, Simon actually has a lot of them in his hands, which is very worthy of playing with.

As he chatted casually, when the dance was about to end, Rita finally said in a more formal tone: "Simon, I...I mean, in the future, I will take care of my mother more. You will definitely do it, right?"

"Of course," Simon did not hesitate, but subconsciously joked: "You are just engaged and will ignore your mother in the future?"

"I don't mean that." The girl angrily said, "I just... you understand."

Seeing the girl's eyes looking forward, Simon also restrained her expression: "I promise."

The music ends.

The two left the dance floor together, and Rita's words, who were standing side by side with Simon, turned into a bit of snack flavor: "Actually, I, and Lei, of course we love our mother very much, but in recent years, the ones that my mother cares about the most is you."

Simon happened to notice that Grace's eyes were softly looking over in the crowd outside the dance floor, nodding, "Don't worry."

Rita's tone suddenly became lighter again, and saw that no one was approaching, and then said, "Of course, don't worry, Simon, although you... are recognized, very fickle, but you are really good to your mother. You are even very careful with me and Ray. And John, haha, I can only suggest that you should give John more time, otherwise he may be a little distant to you when he grows up."

Simon just nodded softly again.

John Westeros, the little guy with Grace, his ninth son.

Of course Simon was concerned.

However, it has to be said that perhaps the subconscious expectations for one's own children are higher, and it is inevitable that there will be less warmth that ordinary fathers should have for their children.

Even Simon actually quite agrees with a certain idea.

Father and son are born enemies.

Speaking of which, the higher the social class, the more similar emotions are, the more prominent they are.

Of course there are ways to change it.

For example, the strategy of a tiger father and a dog son is to raise the child in a more absent direction.

However, Simon would rather his group of little guys be against him in the future than hope that each generation will be worse than the other.

In short, Simon's attitude was very clear from the beginning and was not contradictory at all. Therefore, he never looked like a standard good father to his own group of kids, but to a few daughters, not even his biological daughters, have a gentler attitude.

This is actually a clear preference for boys over girls.

He did not have too high expectations for his daughter, so he could show a gentle father image more purely. As for the boys who could not bear much affection for their father, will they resent for this in the future? Simon didn't care too much about his biasedness as a father.

After leaving the dance floor, another woman came forward immediately. Simon chose to refuse this time and walked towards Grace and the others with Rita.
