Chapter 345 Jeff Bezos

Until the Boeing 767 glided on the Los Angeles International Airport runway, Simon was still thinking about how to create the Egret Portal News Channel.

In the short term, Egret Company can only choose to cooperate with traditional news media.

Simon himself is well aware of the strong impact of Internet information on the traditional paper media and TV media industries. If he owns a traditional media platform, he will definitely curb the development of Internet media as much as possible. If he wants to cooperate and share content, he will not even think about it.

However, there are too few Internet users nowadays, and there are only a handful of people who can see the future at a glance.

Among some of the contacts Simon has contacted during this period, even Murdoch of News Corp., said that he could provide some content support for the Igrit portal.

Of course, the fees still have to be paid.

Boeing 767 stopped on the runway, and the sound of C and D's high heels came from ears. Simon raised his head and happened to catch the look opposite Jennifer looking at him with a smile, "Why go to Malibu with me for dinner?"

The female assistant held back and didn't look away, but shook her head and said, "It's been a week. If you chase after me, Jenny will get angry."

Janet left Los Angeles with Simon on Monday. Simon headed north to San Francisco, and the woman rushed east to New York. However, according to the work arrangements of the two, Janet had already returned to the West Coast on Thursday. Simon went until Sunday. After all, the two had not seen each other for a week.

Simon and Janet got married in early March and separated for a week less than two months, which also attracted the attention of some media.

At breakfast yesterday, the female assistant showed Simon a newspaper that reported that "Westeros are suspected of being separated." Simon didn't care. He knew that Janet wouldn't care. With their current status, it was impossible to live a constant nine-to-five life like an ordinary couple.

Moreover, many things can withstand the storm but not the dullness. Split apart occasionally is actually beneficial to the relationship between each other.

After leaving Los Angeles International Airport, he arranged for someone to send his female assistant home, and Simon also brought his entourage back to Malibu.

Back to the mansion on the west side of Dumei Point, the sky was already dusk.

Just as he entered the living room of the villa, Janet, wearing a casual family dress, came up to him, hugged Simon intimately, let go of him, and shook the two round marble samples in his hand and said, "Turkish goose gold and Indian rainforest coffee, which one do you think is better?"

The villa at Dumei Point Manor has begun to be renovated. On the phone yesterday, Janet discussed with Simon which marble should be used for the lobby floor of Shell Villa.

Simon looked at the two marble samples covered with irregular textures in Janet's hand, and knew that the woman had a little emotion because of the week he left and was expressing dissatisfaction. Not to mention the two colors of marble, it was just the naturally formed irregular texture pattern. If it was really laid under her feet, Simon, who has a tendency to be perfectionist obsessive-compulsive, would definitely feel uncomfortable.

After looking at it in a pretentious manner, Simon reached out to wrap his arms around Janet's slender waist again and smiled, "Let's go take a shower first, let's discuss it carefully in the bathtub."

After saying this, before Janet responded, the woman's light body was picked up by Simon and walked upstairs.

Janet grabbed two pieces of marble and patted Simon gently, and said softly: "Dinner is being prepared in the kitchen, I want to watch."

Simon lowered his head and kissed the woman on the lips, saying, "No, I decided to eat you first and then have dinner."

I got home at 7 o'clock in the evening and took a shower until after nine o'clock.

The original dinner had already cooled down and had to be remade.

It was not until late at night that the two of them sat at the dining table.

Janet was habitually beside Simon, with an attractive blush remaining on her fair face. She was eating while talking about various recent things. She bought a few new skirts herself. Patrick was almost sent to South Africa by the old man. Cersei Capital is going to recruit another group of people recently. Is the female assistant too useless in bed making Simon look hungry for a week, all kinds of things, and scattered.

The next day was Monday, and Janet did not plan to go to the East Coast this week. Simon had been busy for a week and planned to take a day off. By the way, he would carefully learn about the operation of Cersei Capital during this period.

It was May soon. Since Middle East oil producers such as Saudi Arabia and Kuwait announced their increase in production in early March, in less than two months, international crude oil prices have fallen rapidly from a high of US$19 per barrel to US$16, a drop of 15.7%.

Cersei Fund Management Company, a subsidiary of Cersei Capital, began to establish short positions one month in advance. After Saudi Arabia and Kuwait announced production increases, it continued to increase its bets. A total of US$3.5 billion of hedge funds have invested more than US$2.1 billion in funds at this time.

With the support of high leverage, short positions with a total value of more than US$20 billion were profitable at US$2.27 billion as of the last trading day last Friday due to the sharp fluctuations in crude oil prices.

On the other hand, the plummeting crude oil price has made the domestic economy of Iraq, which is heavily dependent on oil exports, worsens. Saddam has been putting pressure on Kuwait and other countries in the past two months, and has even released the verge of fighting at will.

Simon has been closely monitoring various news related to the situation in the Middle East.

The exact time for Iraq to invade Kuwait in memory was August 2. Simon planned to start establishing long positions one month in advance based on the information in memory, and establish long positions when international crude oil prices are still in a downward state. This is actually a very risky move. Once the situation in the Middle East is unexpectedly inconsistent with Simon's memory, most of the huge book profits earned by Cersei Capital in the early stage may be spit out.

However, just like Cersei Capital began to build short positions before many hedge funds could react, high risks can only obtain high returns.

Compared with other hedge funds, with Simon's prophet advantage, Cersei Capital's chances of winning are already much higher, and such adventures are completely worth it.

In the study room on the second floor of the villa.

Janet sat behind the desk while discussing hedge funds with Simon, while looking at the stack of resumes in front of him, picking up the phone from time to time to communicate with New York.

Simon was sitting leisurely on the single sofa by the floor-to-ceiling window, with a glass of water on the coffee table. After reading the transaction details of Cersei Fund Management last week, he also read the resumes of a group of technology company executives brought back from San Francisco yesterday.

He hung up a phone call with New York again. Janet looked at the time. As noon approached, he leaned on the leather chair and stretched his waist very charmingly, and asked Simon, "Dear, have you found the right person?"

Simon picked up a resume that was put aside and said, "A woman, but I think she is only suitable for Igret's World Wide Web software business, portals and other online products, and others need to be responsible."

Janet heard Simon say it was a woman, got up and came to Simon, sat directly in the man's arms, and snatched the build-up look.

Carol Butts, 42 years old, is currently the vice president of global operations at SUN. He has 20 years of working experience in the computer-related industry.

He roughly read the information of Carol Butz, and finally glanced at the photo and confirmed that this was not the type that Simon was interested in. Janet said in a professional tone: "I think she is very good, she has enough experience and qualifications. She should be more than enough to be in charge of Igrit."

In addition to the information in front of him, Simon also knew that Carol Butz will take charge of the computer graphics software company Autodesk in the next few years, and will build the company into the world's leading computer graphics software group.

In my memory, because of Carol Butz's outstanding performance during the period of Autodesk, she also served as CEO of Yahoo from 2009 to 2011. However, at that time, Yahoo was already in decline. Carol Butz carried out a series of powerful reforms on Yahoo, but in the end she could not escape the fate of being fired by the Yahoo board of directors.

Considering these, Simon said: "Carol Butts has enough experience and qualifications, so I hope she can be responsible for the sales and operation of the World Wide Web series software. But the portal website is different from other online businesses. This is a new field that no one has ever been involved in. There are no successful cases that can be learned from. What is needed is innovation and adventure. Carol Butts' long-term industry experience in the past may have led her to form some fixed thinking patterns, which will become a constraint."

Janet hugged in Simon's arms like a kitten, and listened to the man, saying, "If this is the case, it will probably be difficult to find the right person."

"Looking slowly will definitely be able to find it," Simon said helplessly, "What I need is an efficient executor who has not formed a fixed behavior pattern. He must have a certain understanding of the new technology field, and will not put the business models of traditional IBM and Intel into the daily management of Igret."

Janet looked up and listened to the man's words, blinking his beautiful eyes a few times, and said, "I just seemed to have seen someone you need."

Simon wondered: "Hmm?"

"I think what you need should be an amateur."

Janet said, and stood up with a smile, tiptoed to the desk and pulled a few times, pulled out a resume, floated back, leaned back in Simon's arms, handed the resume to the man and said, "Hey."

Simon took the resume and looked at it, and suddenly felt a bit fantastic.

The resume clearly contains a very familiar name in Simon's memory: Jeff Bezos.

Janet's slender little body shrank in Simon's arms, and did not notice the man's weird expression. His fingers tweaked the resume twice and said, "This is good. He graduated from Princeton University's computer science major, the same as your major at Stanford. After graduation, he had a brief internship at Intel and Bell Labs. Now he works in the fund investment department of Xinfu Bank. Although he is only 26 years old, he has become the youngest vice president of Xinfu Bank's investment department last year. He has very strong abilities. I originally planned to dig him into Fink's team, and now I will give it to you."

Janet Barabala said, and finally waved his hands in a grand manner, looking very generous.

Simon sighed that the world was so wonderful, and put Jeff Bezos' resume aside, held the woman's face in his arms, leaned over and kissed her a few times, and said, "Baby, what do you want to eat at noon?"

Janett stopped talking, flashed his eyes a few times, twisted his body in the man's arms, and said, "Why, eat me?"

Of course, this kind of small wish must satisfy her.

Simon picked up the woman and left the study and walked towards the bedroom next door.

Janet was a little surprised. When Simon pushed open the bedroom door and threw her on the big bed, he said, "I really want to eat me, but now it's noon?"

Simon unbuttoned the shirt, made a vicious grin, and said, "Even bones are not left."

Since he met Jeff Bezos, Simon naturally would not let him go.

The current Igrit portal business is just a piece of white paper. Simon does not need a brush because he is the brush. He needs another piece of white paper, which he can draw on and then copy the finished work on the white paper of Igrit.

Jeff Bezos is undoubtedly a very suitable piece of white paper.

Although Jeff Bezos is only 26 years old now, this is not a problem.

Simon himself is just over 22 years old.

What's more, Simon has always believed that before the age of 30, it is the golden age for many people to create a career. In this way, Jeff Bezos is just the same age.

The words are divided into two ends.

Jeff Bezos feels that his recent experience is also somewhat fantastic.

In the past four years after graduating from Princeton University, he quickly opened up his career.

Originally, Bezos also received some tone about Cersei Capital's intention to invite him to join.

Compared with the old Xinfu Bank, which has a history of nearly a century, Cersei Capital, a miraculously rapidly rising fund company, is indeed very attractive to him.

When Westeros president James Rebelde invited him to lunch, Bezos thought it was an interview with Cersei Capital.

After all, everyone knows that Westeros is the parent company of Cersei Capital, or, the parent company of four ‘women’: Daenerys, Egret, Melisandra, and Cersei.

Then, Bezos unexpectedly discovered that the other party did not invite him to join Cersei, but Igret.

What is the situation?

After lunch with James Rebeld, the other party left him a thick memo.

Jeff Bezos, who was completely confused, read the various ideas and prospects of Simon Westero for Igrit and the entire Internet industry in this memorandum, and personally collected some information about the already budding Internet industry, and soon made the decision to join the company.

On the other hand, Simon certainly would not hand over the entire Igrit company to Jeff Bezos directly. Strictly speaking, Bezos will only be an executor in the short term, and Simon is still the "brush". Therefore, Simon also invited Carol Butz to Carol Butz, still intending to let the other party be responsible for the World Wide Web software operation business of Igrit company.

After personally communicating with Carol Butz, he obtained the understanding of SUN. Carol Butz quickly chose to join Igret.

After some adjustments, Simon personally took charge of Chairman Igrit and took control of the overall situation. Tim Berners Lee is still the CEO of Igrit, but mainly in charge of the company's technical research and development department. Carol Butz and Jeff Bezos are also the president of Igrit, responsible for the operations of World Wide Web Software and Igrit Portal respectively.
