"Simon, Daenerys is preparing for "Desperate Housewife". Do you think I can try the role of Gabriel?"

CK's post-show party.

The one who spoke was Brooke Xiaosi.

The controversial commercial film that Brooke Xiaosi filmed for CK jeans is well known. The actress has always maintained a good relationship with CK and came to support her tonight.

After completing the acquisition of New World Entertainment a few years ago, Simon personally took away the heroine of the comic adaptation movie "The Angels" that originally belonged to Brooke Xiaosi. He was not interested in the actress who won the first Golden Plum Worst Actress Award.

At this time, Brooke Xiaosi mentioned the "Desperate Housewife" being prepared and threw a charming look without any trace. Simon was unmoved at all, shook his head and smiled: "I'm sorry, Brooke, Gaby's character is a Latino."

Brooke Xiaosi didn't give up: "I know Spanish, so it seems okay to play a Latino. And, Simon, if you want to, isn't it easy to modify the script?"

"But," Simon shrugged, directly dispelling Brooke Xiaosi's idea, and said, "This character has been confirmed."

"Okay," Brooke Little's expression flashed with some disappointment, glanced at Janet, who was chatting with Cindy Crawford and several girls not far away, quickly stuffed a card into Simon's suit pocket, and said, "But Simon, if there is a suitable role, you can call me at any time."

Simon glanced at the corner of the card exposed in his chest pocket, and said with a bit of teasing in his tone: "What if there is no chance, Brooke, can I call you?"

Brooke Xiaosi raised her eyebrows slightly and nodded quickly and said, "Of course, I'm already looking forward to it now."

While chatting, CK founder Calvin Klein came over and chatted casually for a few casual words. Brooke Xiaosi took the initiative to walk away with tactfulness.

When Brooke Xiaosi left, Calvin Klein seemed to ask inadvertently: "Simon, how do you think CK's catwalk just now?"

Simon nodded and said, "It's a pretty good design."

"So," Calvin Klein hesitated for a moment, but still straight to the point. "CK happened to have some financial troubles recently. I was wondering, are you interested in investing in my company?"

During the show, Janet revealed that Sofia has set her sights on CK and may start contacting her in the near future.

Simon didn't expect that Calvin Klein talked to himself about this matter directly.

Shaking his head, Simon said: "Carl, the problem is, I don't know anything about CK."

"If you are interested, Simon, I can send you some information tomorrow. CK is not facing big problems. In addition to the main product line, the sales of men's underwear and perfume products we recently launched are very good, but they are a little tight in terms of funds. If you are willing to invest in CK, I believe you will definitely get very generous returns in the future."

Janet just said on the show that CK is on the verge of bankruptcy.

Now, Calvin Klein said that the company is not facing big problems. Of course Simon doesn't believe it, but he also understands why Klein said that. If he were himself, it would definitely be the case. In any case, it would be fooled by potential investors first.

"There's no need for information, Carl," Simon thought for a while and said, "I'll take time to find out privately. If CK is really worth investing, I'll get someone to contact you."

Calvin Klein is a little disappointed. He has been looking for financial support for CK recently to overcome the current difficulties.

Submit a copy of information to Westeros. If the other party is interested in CK, it is naturally the best. Even if he is not interested, he can also slightly trick other investors by tying up the tiger skin that is in contact with Westeros.

It seems that this trick has been seen through.

Of course, there was no sign of something strange in his expression. Calvin Klein continued to introduce the situation of CK before leaving.

After Simon and Klein talked, they also walked towards Janet.

Janet is not short, but this is only relatively speaking. Being next to a group of fairies who are generally six feet tall in high heels, I suddenly became a little petite. However, the temperament that women have developed for a long time when they were born in a wealthy family is not comparable to that of other girls. In addition, their status at this time, standing in the crowd easily became the dominant force of a small circle.

Putting his arms around Janet's waist, Simon looked at the goblins around him and asked with a smile: "What are you talking about?"

Cindy Crawford looked at Simon with his eyes flowing, and said, "The women are getting together, of course, talking about men."

Simon said regretfully: "It seems that I have missed a lot of exciting scenes, so why don't you continue and pretend I don't exist."

Linda Ivangolinsta, who stood beside Cindy Crawford, said boldly: "But, Simon, you are so dazzling. We can feel your presence even with our eyes closed."

Simon looked at the legendary supermodel beside Cindy and smiled, "This kind of compliment can satisfy men's vanity, Linda, let's have another time."

I just saw it from afar at the opening party of Milan Fashion Week last year, and didn't say anything at that time. Linda Ivangolinsta didn't expect Simon to call out her name directly, and her tone was very familiar, so she unexpectedly said: "Simon, do you know me?"

Simon showed a big and bad expression: "Oh no, it's exposed. It seems that Jenny will be questioned carefully when he returns."

Janet gave Simon a very cooperative look and made a 'you're waiting' expression.

Everyone laughed.

Of course it's just a joke.

If you want to question, the girls think Janet Westeros might want to know more about what is happening with "waist sperm" and "leg sperm". Yasmin Gary and Naga Allman are standing next to them.

However, after just contact, the girls also noticed that Janet did not seem to care about the various gossips of her husband, and did not show some of the common instinctive hostility towards them.

Maybe this is an opportunity.

After continuing to chat and laugh for a while, seeing that the time was about the same, Simon took Janet to leave the CK party.

The next day is Sunday.

Although there is no work arrangement, the schedule is full.

The couple rushed to East Hampton, Long Island to visit Steve Rose again in the morning. They came back in the afternoon and had another cocktail party for the Rebels family in the evening. Many senior executives on the east coast of Westeros system attended the event.

After the weekend, Simon returned to the West Coast, and Janet remained here.

Not only is the acquisition of LTD, a parent company of Victoria's Secret, Janet also plans to sort out financial and personnel aspects of the entire Westeros system.

During this period, in addition to Daenerys Entertainment, a series of quarterly or annual financial reports of listed or private companies, including Verizon Telecom, American Online, Melisandra, Egritte, Cersei Capital, Nokia, SUN, Oracle, Cisco, Microsoft, Intel, etc., which are owned by Westeros, have been released one after another.

As the scale of Westeros system became larger and larger, Simon did not have enough energy or corresponding professional ability to deal with these things. In the past, Janet was responsible, and women also had extraordinary talents in these things.

During the year of pregnancy, Janet let go of a lot of things and now pick them up again.

But last week, Janet decisively fired more than 30 people in Cersei Capital for various reasons. Next, as long as there are problems, it is inevitable that many people will lose their jobs to clean up.

Because this whole lot of work has been accumulated for almost a whole year, Janet will stay on the East Coast for the next few weeks, which requires Simon to fly from the West Coast to spend the weekend with the woman.

Simon returned to Los Angeles. After another round of audition selection, the four housewives candidates for "Desperate Housewives" were basically finalized.

Four Housewives, Susan Mel is played by Connie Seleca, Brie Vandikan is played by Shera Worde, Linette Scarvo is played by Patricia Wendy, and Gabriel Solis is played by Laura Haring.

Simon, the actors of several housewives, are familiar or unfamiliar, but they are very consistent with the images of the four housewives in memory, and their performance qualifications are richer than those of the original housewives.

There is no need to say that Patricia Wendy, who was the winner of the Emmy Awards, and Shera Worde, who made the decision directly. In addition, Connie Seleca, a 37-year-old actress who looks more mature and sexy than the original Terry Heicher, debuted in the 1970s. Although she has never been famous, she has appeared in more than 20 films and TV series.

Lara Haring, the actor who plays Gaby, is 26 years old and was born in Mexico. After immigrating to the United States, he also won the title of "Miss America" ​​in the Miss America beauty pageant in 1985. It is 100% more consistent with Gaby's role setting than Eva Longoria, who was unknown before becoming famous in the original time and space.

Not only that, Laura Haring also participated in David Lynch's 2001 "Mulholland Road" and acted with Naomi Watts.

The four housewives confirmed that the selection of supporting roles in the series will also start immediately.

In addition, the Wisteria Street set planned to be set up in Universal Studios will also start construction in the near future.

After moving most of the office departments to Malibu Daenerys Cinema, Universal Studios has vacated many areas, and the operation team is looking for more than these extra spaces to increase project attractions.

If "Desperate Housewives" can be hit, the Wisteria Street setting happens to be a new attraction at Universal Studios.

When all preliminary preparations are completed, "Desperate Housewives" will be launched in July and will be officially logged into USA TV in September.

Because March 13 is Janet's birthday, Simon flew to New York again until Thursday this week.

New York Fashion Week is still continuing, because of some brand activities of Gucci and Van Clerk Arpels, Sophia will fly over this weekend and will also try to contact CK.

Last week, he attended CK's show and party, and Simon did understand some of the business conditions of the company.

Unlike Calvin Klein's understatement with Simon at the party, CK's problems are very tricky.

In addition to the tight cash flow problem caused by the economic downturn, in the 1980s, Calvin Klein, who was eager to increase the company's scale and pursue more profits, also uncontrollably authorized the CK brand.

Simply put, it is to allow other manufacturers to personally sign CK trademarks.

OEMs can indeed increase a company's revenue in the short term, but as long as the business operator has a slightly longer-term vision, they understand that this is not a long-term solution.

Now, Calvin Klein has also reacted that in order to consider the expansion of the headquarters and brand reputation, Klein has been trying to withdraw the license plate in the past two years, which has triggered a series of disputes and lawsuits.

Of course, combined with the information in memory, Simon could see that these problems are indeed temporary.

As long as you overcome a series of difficulties in front of you, CK will have a very good development prospect. Simon's memory has been a first-tier luxury brand until many years later, which is enough to prove this.

However, no one can see the future like Simon. Most capitals that have the ability to help CK overcome difficulties only see the mess of this company, which may meet at any time. Moreover, CK is deeply affected by the sluggish US economy. Many American companies are actually the same, so they are very cautious when investing.

All in all, this is a good opportunity to find a bargain.

Sofia Fessi had his first contact with Calvin Klein on Saturday, March 14.

Melisandra did not intend to completely take CK, and she also had no intention of replacing the head of CK, Calvin Klein.

It has been established for more than 20 years. Although there are many problems at present, Calvin Kline's ability to achieve CK from scratch to its current scale is beyond doubt.

However, Melisandra's request is to acquire at least more than half of CK's equity and achieve absolute control over the company.

Calvin Klein took the initiative to mention the injecting capital with Simon at the party last week, but did not respond for the next week. He originally thought that the super rich man was not interested in CK, but Sophia Feisey's contact seemed to be a turnaround, but it also made Klein want to wait for a price.

Calvin Klein himself has not held much stake in CK, but Melisandra directly demanded that CK's absolute controlling stake is probably something that no company founder would like to see.

Gucci has risen rapidly in recent years, and Van Clerk Arpels, which has completed its acquisition, has also developed rapidly. Melisandra has become a banner in the luxury goods industry, not to mention that Melisandra is also backed by the behemoth of the Westeros system.

Therefore, if Melisandra wants to acquire the company, other capitals will definitely be very interested.

However, Sofia did not give Calvin Cline a chance to sell.

After the contact between the two parties, Sofia only gave Calvin Klein one day to consider, either agreeing to Melisandra's absolute holdings to acquire, or the business was given up.

This was actually instructed by Simon, and learned from Warren Buffett.

Because of Berkshire Hathaway's reputation in the investment industry, companies that Buffett is interested in often wait for a price after receiving the other party's invitation. Therefore, Warren Buffett often gives the target little time to consider during the business negotiation process, and avoids the other party taking Berkshire's name to start the price.

Daenerys Entertainment started using this trick very early when acquiring the copyright of the script.

Simon created a huge business empire in just six years. The current Westeros system is far more famous than Berkshire Hathaway.

Therefore, if Westeros and even its subsidiaries want to acquire a company, they will often attract the attention of other capitals, which has to adopt a "ultimatum" method similar to Buffett.
