Simon said: "If it's just the two of us, you need to call home first and ask them to prepare the ransom."

Janet smiled and put her little feet back and said, "This is the north. The Mafia should be more active in southern Italy."

"That's only a relative term," Simon said: "It's actually the same here in Milan. Take the fashion circle as an example. Models who go to Milan to seek development may be able to escape the Italian government's income tax, but they can't escape the income tax they need to pay.

'Gangster Tax'."

"In this case, let's take Neil and the others with us. If something happens, we can have a gun battle. Neil and Ken are both very good at shooting."

Italy does not ban guns, and Australia has not yet banned guns. If you think about it carefully, most Western countries have not banned guns in this era.

Simon has never paid much attention to the resumes of Neil Bennett and Ken Dixon, the two veteran bodyguards of the Johnston family who were first assigned, but he does not doubt Janet's statement.

only.

Encountered a gunfight.

For the sake of your heart, it's better not to experience such an exciting thing.

Simon has not encountered any substantive personal threats so far, but he does not want to be like the Heineken CEO kidnapping case a few years ago, where he only remembered to pay attention to his own safety after a life-or-death situation.

"Forget it, let's call Sophie later and see if there is any fun and safe place to go in Milan at night."

Janet hummed, but without waiting, she got up and ran to make a phone call.

Janet left, and Simon was about to continue reading the newspaper in his hand when Jennifer walked over from the villa holding a folder.

After saying hello to Janet who was passing by, he nodded to Natasha Kinski, who was sitting lazily in a swimsuit on the recliner on the other side. Then he sat down on the edge of the recliner where Janet had just been and said to Simon: "About GSM technology.

Do you want to see the information now?"

Simon sat up, took the folder from the female assistant, opened it, and asked: "How is the investigation of Nokia company?"

"Detailed information is still being collected, but the general situation is already clear," Jennifer said: "Nokia is a diversified corporate giant in Finland with a very long history, involved in many fields including papermaking, rubber, home appliances, telecommunications, mobile phones and so on. In recent years

In 2016, as the economic conditions of Finland's largest trading partner, the Soviet Union, continued to deteriorate, Nokia also fell into operating difficulties. Nokia's CEO Kari Keramo committed suicide last year because he could not bear the pressure of business operations. The new CEO Seamo Frila

Figure has been pruning Nokia's business since the beginning of this year, and the telecommunications and mobile phone departments happened to be on the list of sales. It is not difficult for us to get these two businesses. However, Simon, the situation in Eastern Europe is very unstable, and a war may even break out.

, acquiring a Finnish company that had a direct border with the Soviet Union was not a rational decision."

Simon lowered his head and looked at the GSM technical information in his hand, and asked with some caution: "If political factors are put aside, what do you think of me buying the telecommunications and mobile phone departments of this company?"

Jennifer has obviously considered this issue and said: "It's not the best, but it's still a good choice. The telecommunications industry in most European countries is still in the hands of state-owned enterprises, because telecommunications equipment adopts a government-designated procurement model, which inhibits corporate research and development.

Their enthusiasm has largely restricted the technological development of the telecommunications field in these countries. The telecom industry giants in North America have long been entrenched, making it very difficult to enter the market. Even in Australia, there is currently only one state-owned telecommunications company.

In comparison, Nordic countries such as Sweden and Finland have liberalized the telecommunications field to private enterprises a long time ago, adopted a market-oriented free competition mechanism, and did not restrict the participation of overseas capital. At the same time, although Finland's market size is small,

, but we can use this as a basis to develop the entire European market."

Simon nodded with satisfaction and said: "In that case, pass this information to your father and ask him to organize a team to contact Nokia as soon as possible."

Jennifer agreed and added: "Also, there is news from Los Angeles that Bertelsmann Music Group has taken over the operation of Alistar Records. They are willing to accept our condition of financial review and compensation, but they hope to restore "

Sales of the "Bodyguard" soundtrack."

Simon objected: "Since we have publicly stated that we will not resume sales of records until this matter is resolved, there is no reason to change it."

Seeing that Simon didn't let go or persuade him, Jennifer got up and walked towards the villa again.

After the female assistant left, Simon continued to look through the information in his hand.

GSM is the abbreviation of 'Global System for Mobile Communications'. As early as 1983, European countries have set up technical teams to formulate technical standards for GSM, but they have not been implemented in these years. This is obviously due to the state-owned monopoly in the telecommunications industry that is holding back.

In my memory, Nokia's rise was precisely because it took the lead in GSM technology and was the first to launch a GSM-standard digital signal mobile phone. Finland was also the first country in the world to establish a GSM network.

Now, even North America is still using the first generation of analog signal communications. Simon enters the market at this time and can seize more opportunities with its own capital and foresight advantages in order to share more benefits in the next wave of mobile communications.

Unknowingly, I finished reading more than a dozen pages of documents, but Janet hasn't come back yet.

The sun is already setting in the west.

A cool breeze blows from the direction of the Alps in the north.

Simon put the information aside, stood up and stretched his body. He noticed that Natasha Kinski was still lying lazily next to her. He walked over and looked down with some worry.

After relying on Simon, she enjoyed herself as a servant in the mansion without any financial pressure. This woman really had a tendency to live her life like a cat.

Noticing that Simon was looking down at her condescendingly, Natasha Kinski raised her eyelids, but just hummed softly, as if asking Simon if he was okay, and that he should not block her from enjoying the last touch of the sunset.

Simon made eye contact with the woman and said with a smile: "You have heard so many trade secrets without knowing it. I suddenly thought, should I silence you?"

Natasha Kinski glanced at Simon with disdain and simply turned away.

Seeing that the woman was ignoring him, Simon bent down and stretched out his hands, picking her up directly.

Natasha Kinski did not panic at all after being suddenly attacked. Instead, she twisted her body as if looking for a more comfortable position.

Simon carried the woman to the edge of the swimming pool and gently threw her into the water.

There was a thump in the courtyard.

Then there was no movement.

Simon, who originally just wanted to make a joke, looked helpless as he looked at the woman who was sinking motionless to the bottom of the pool and staring at him with wide eyes.

A string of bubbles appeared.

Two strings of bubbles popped out.

Three strings of bubbles popped up.

After more than a minute, the woman obviously started to drink water. She was still looking at Simon with wide eyes at the bottom of the pool, with no intention of getting up.

Simon originally wanted to see how long Natasha Kinski could last, but suddenly he remembered the strong self-destructive tendency in this woman's bones.

If left alone, she might drown herself in this pool.

Thinking of this, Simon didn't have time to take off his clothes, so he jumped into the water in his shirt and trousers, reached out and fished the woman out and placed her on the edge of the pool.

After holding on to the edge of the pool and leaving the pool, he found that Natasha Kinski's eyes were closed and there was no movement at all. Simon, who was really frightened, quickly leaned over her and put her on his knees to press down.

After spitting out some water, Natasha Kinski opened her eyes again and felt that the man was still exerting force, so she scratched his leg dissatisfiedly in protest.

Simon was even more angry.

Not so scary with your own life.

Seeing that the woman had recovered and still had the strength to catch herself, he raised his hand and slapped her hard on the buttocks a few times.

After a few snaps, Natasha Kinski groaned and softened, and then was thrown onto the lounge chair next to her.

Painfully, she changed her position and lay on her side. Noticing that Simon still had an expression of exasperation after being frightened, the woman had a smug look in her eyes and giggled.

Simon was still a little scared, so he sat down on the lounge chair next to him, wiped the water stains on his face, took off his soaked shirt and threw it aside. Seeing the woman smiling heartlessly, he said angrily: "I can't keep it up.

It’s up to you, let’s go.”

"No," Natasha Kinski shook her head and suggested confidently, "You can throw me out."

Simon imagined the woman lying in front of his house with her eyes wide open. He completely lost his temper, picked up the shirt next to him, got up and walked towards the villa.

Natasha Kinski was only wearing a swimsuit and didn't need to be ignored. He was wet but had to change quickly.

Entering the living room, Janet was leaning on the sofa, holding a cordless phone and talking to the other party. When she saw Simon come in wet, she was surprised for a moment, then gave him a dirty look and pouted towards the stairs.

Simon came to the bedroom upstairs, took a quick shower, and was getting dressed when Janet walked in, smiling curiously: "What happened just now?"

"Fell into the water," Simon said perfunctorily, then changed the subject: "You have been chatting with Sophia for so long?"

Janet didn't get to the bottom of it. She stepped forward to help Simon adjust the collar of his shirt and said, "David called and asked if we want to go to England this time."

Simon remembered David Johnston, Janet's fourth brother.

He finished filming "Batman" in April. Before Simon left Melbourne, he happened to meet David Johnston who was going home to visit relatives. He also brought a girlfriend who was not recognized by Raymond Johnston. But, think about it.

With David Johnston's bookishness, it would be possible to call Jenny to check on him, but it would be unreliable to invite them to visit England.

Janet helped Simon straighten his collar and said with a smile: "Have you thought of it?"

"His girlfriend?"

"Yes, her name is Leslie Whickert. The old man doesn't like her because she thinks too much. But I think it's okay. David is so stupid. It's just right to find a smarter wife."

"We don't have time to go to England this time."

Cersei Capital's layout in the U.S. bond market is about to be closed. The matter here is over and it will return to New York.

"That's what I told him, I can't go this time." Janet said, realizing that Simon hadn't put on his shoes yet, so she walked to the shoe cabinet, picked out a pair of leather shoes and handed them over, saying: "Put on your shoes, and I'll go change my clothes too."
