During this period of mid-July, Simon frequently traveled between Los Angeles and San Francisco.

The Shanjing City Government sold 300 hectares of land to Westeros at one time, and the public controversy caused has not completely disappeared during this period.

The best way to solve this problem is undoubtedly to provide a complete regional development plan as soon as possible.

Simon's initial thought was very "simple". When he found that he had the opportunity, he took action to encircle a large area of ​​land in the Bay Area. Since the plot was acquired, the development plan was responsible for the other person.

Therefore, after more than a month of discussion, Westeros officially announced the plan for the ‘Westeros Science Park’ on July 15.

Not only Igret, but also Westeros camp companies such as the West Coast headquarters of the United States Online, the Nokia North American Research Center, and the Tinkobaier Company founded by C Girl will all settle in, and other pioneering technology companies invested in the Westeros system will also surround Egret.

At the same time, Westeros also welcomed the entry of other technology companies.

300 hectares of land, roughly equivalent to rectangular plots, from south to north, and 50 hectares will be drawn up to build a park near the 101 Expressway to isolate the hustle and bustle of major traffic arteries and give residents in the area a place of leisure and entertainment.

To the north of the park is an office park with an area of ​​150 hectares that is expected to accommodate more than 50,000 people. The headquarters of Igret Company covering an area of ​​30 hectares is included in the park. To the north, the remaining 100 hectares of land will develop a high-end community with 1,000 villas, mainly for renting or selling to employees of the science and technology park.

Simon spent $230 million to buy the land.

If the technology park wants to be fully developed, the investment level will further reach US$1 billion.

Therefore, whether it is a science and technology park, residential area, or supporting park, it is a big cake for the construction and real estate industry in the Bay Area.

Igrit Company has no intention of taking part in person, and the construction of the entire park will be closely cooperated with local developers in the Bay Area.

Therefore, with the announcement of the preliminary plan and the conclusion of some cooperation agreements, the criticism caused by Westeros has been greatly eliminated due to the one-time encirclement of a large number of plots, and discerning people can also see the reasons for the public opinion dispute some time ago.

Real estate development is a profitable industry in any country.

Unlike the emerging Internet field, the real estate industry has been accompanied by almost since the beginning of the city, and has long been a red ocean. Because of huge profits, the interest involvement and infighting game will be very cruel. If you don’t have enough capital support and connections, no one can easily play with it.

Simon has always been interested in owning more land and properties, but he has no intention of over-engaging in the real estate industry that may touch many old-fashioned capital interests.

With the announcement of the Westeros Science Park plan, other commercial areas, residential areas and office park areas have begun to appear in the areas north of the Mountain View City 101 Expressway. The city government has also promised to invest funds to improve the infrastructure construction of the area. It is not difficult to imagine that in the next few years, this deserted area, which was originally located on the edge of the city, will flourish quickly.

In Hollywood, the three new films that were painted on July 9 performed just as expected. The best-performing Fox "The Golden Arm Boy" had a box office of only $18.21 million in the first seven days of the first week.

On July 16, the number of new films in North American theaters has been reduced to two, namely "The Gentle Assassination Order" co-starring Daenerys and Warner Bros. and "The Tombstone Town" by MGM.

As the second film in the summer of the original novel author John Grimson, the success of "The Sugar-Coated Trap" has also attracted more attention from the audience, and the creative lineup of Denzel Washington and Julia Roberts ensured the popularity of the project.

After the painting was launched, relying on its excellent reputation, the box office of "The Order of the Goose" reached 22.19 million US dollars in three days in the first weekend, reprising the box office.

From July 16 to July 22, in seven days, the first week of "Gots Assassination Order" reached US$31.63 million, successfully reaching the single-week box office championship position.

MGM starring Kurt Russell, which costs $25 million, is much inferior to the $25 million Tombstone Town.

In the first week of the painting, the film relied on 1,955 yuan to open the screen and won a box office of 18.76 million US dollars, which was obviously a bit worse than the hot-selling level of the museum, which exceeded 10,000 yuan. It is expected that the total box office in North America is comparable to Fox's "Golden Arm Boy" last week, roughly between $50 million and $60 million.

Of course, although it is not a big deal, it can also bring quite a lot of profits to MGM.

After all, as of late July, all 100 million yuan club films in 1993 were related projects of Daenerys Entertainment. It would be good if other studios could have several projects with a box office of more than $50 million, provided that the budget cost of the project did not reach the level of "Phantom Hero".

At the same time, "Superman" released in the seventh week continued to earn US$15.38 million in seven days from July 16 to July 22, and the cumulative box office officially exceeded the US$300 million mark, reaching US$306.79 million.

Including the success of "Seattle Night", "The Sugar-Coated Trap" and the most recent "Gotag Assassination Order", Daenerys Entertainment has been preparing for a celebration party since early July.

With Superman's North American box office officially exceeding $300 million, the celebration party is also confirmed on Saturday, July 24.

Although it was a weekend, Simon still worked until lunch time in the morning, accompanied Janet for pregnancy checkups in the afternoon, returned to Dumei Point Manor in the evening, had dinner, and until it was almost nine o'clock, he coaxed Janet, who was resting early, to sleep, and then left and rushed to Daenerys Cinema.

This celebration party still chooses the employee activity center on the second floor of Daenerys Cinema.

When Simon arrived, the party atmosphere was still warm.

According to the list A made in advance and the guests who needed to greet at the party, Simon finally got a little free after socializing for more than half an hour.

Sandra Bullock dragged him to the dance floor and danced a dance, then hid on the sofa booth in a corner of the party hall, and was unwilling to get up.

After bringing a glass of wine for the man, Sandra sat down next to Simon casually and glanced at him dissatisfiedly: "Hey, it's so sad for you to look so reluctant."

Simon leaned on the back of the chair, took a sip of champagne, and said, "I'm very busy lately and I'm going to be hollowed out."

Sandra showed contemptuous eyes: "Has the woman emptied?"

Simon nodded: "Yes, there are more than ten a day, and I almost couldn't get up."

Sandra gave him a blank look and said to the serious matter: "I've read the script you gave me."

Simon didn't want to talk about work now, and smiled and said, "Why don't we talk about the more than ten things yesterday."

Sandra glared at Simon: "Okay, you said!"

"Well, this, Broadcast, eBbay, 58list, iPets..."

Simon paused a little and skillfully proclaimed a series of nouns.

After hearing Simon's eyes full of stars, Sandra wanted to roll her eyes again, but subconsciously asked, "What are they?"

“The venture capital plan I saw in San Francisco yesterday.”

Sandra blinked and understood, and immediately became interested again, holding Simon's arm and said, "I have some money now. The Internet concept is so popular. Can you help me choose a few investment projects?"

Simon shook his head and said, "Don't, you can't afford to play the limelight. This is really burning money. If you don't pay attention, you will lose all your money. If you want to suggest, just buy it directly into A. Online or Cisco stocks."

"I won't buy it. Now many newspapers say that the stock price bubbles of these companies you have are very serious and may plummet at any time."

"Hey, do you believe me or the media?"

"But... IBM's recent market value is only $29 billion, and Boeing, $12 billion, and Cisco is $370. Don't you think it's too exaggerated?"

"IBM lost $5 billion last year to cause a sharp drop in stock prices, and Boeing was dragged down by the downturn in the global economic environment. Moreover, the stock price reflects the future development potential of a company, and IBM and Boeing have already passed the upward period."

Sandra thought for a while and asked, "You mean, IBM and Boeing's stock prices are at their lowest point now."

"yes."

"Then can I buy the bottom?"

“…”

"Look," Sandra looked very expert: "IBM and Boeing are both at the lowest point. I buy it now and may make more than double the profit in the next few years. Cisco and American Online are now worth more than $30 billion. I think 50 billion should not be higher, hehe, this is what the newspaper says, and it may collapse at any time."

Simon nodded with approval and waved to Alison not far away: "A, remember to remind me to buy another $100 million in Boeing stock next Monday."

Girl A felt a little confused. A few days ago, Simon asked her to hand it over to Lawrence Fink, the head of Black Rock Asset Management, a memorandum, asking the other party to increase its holdings of Boeing and other companies. The current absorption ratio is close to 5% of the required reporting, and has begun to contact Boeing to seek a seat on the board of directors.

What does it mean to buy another $100 million suddenly?

Although she didn't understand, Alison didn't ask much, nodded, took out the memo in her bag and wrote it carefully, confirming that her boss had no other instructions, and then left.

Sandra was even more confused and thought that Simon might be teasing her. She waited for Girl A to walk away and asked, "Did I say something wrong?"

Simon shrugged: "Half right?"

"Okay, I'll just buy some," he said, "but if you pay, you have to compensate me."

"Is the meat worth it?"

"Can!"

"Forget it, the price is too high."

"snort!"

After making jokes, Sandra turned the topic to the movie just now: "Stillon also saw that "Life and Death Speed", and he asked me to help me ask."

"Life and Death" is a recent film launched by MGM. It is also a box office hit in the original time and space. The original version of the film is starring Keanu Reeves and Sandra Brock. Because it is a newcomer script, the project has been circulating among several major Hollywood studios before Simon noticed it.

Daenerys Entertainment's schedule is over next year, and Simon gives the project to MGM.

Including "The True Lies" that are under negotiation, the two films will become MGM's main theme next year.

Simon didn't mean to change the main creator this time, not to mention that he and Keanu and Sandra have a good relationship. He smiled and asked, "Are you not satisfied with Keanu?"

"Of course not, just help, the Sears are good."

Simon understood that Stallone was probably testing whether there were other opportunities for cooperation between the two sides. As for why it was Sandra, the girl participated in Stallone's other new film "Supermen" in the first half of the year, and was invested by Warner Bros., with a budget of 57 million US dollars.

Warner Bros. originally planned to release "Supermen" at the end of the year, probably because the effect after the film was average. In addition, the box office failure of "Jueling Xiong Feng" was changed to the unpopular schedule in early October, which was considered a half-giving state.

Not only that, Simon also knew that another new film "The Bomb Expert" that Stallone is preparing for is also in a state of stranding recently. Because the contract was not determined in advance, he encountered embarrassment than "The True Lies". Warner Bros., who was originally intended to take over, proposed a request to significantly reduce the budget.

Obviously, it starts with cutting Stallone's pay.

Stallone's pay for both "The Legend of the Sun" and "Supermen" is $15 million. If a big-time work that has not turned around in the next few years appears, it will probably become the highest pay for Stallone.

In Simon's memory, Stallone entered a 20 million club in the most prosperous stage of Hollywood around 2000, but his personal film and television works have never had a very impressive commercial performance, so that his turnaround work "The Suicide Squad" sold many companies but no one took over.

In recent years, Simon has been suppressing celebrity pay, either openly or secretly.

The era of special effects has arrived early, which has greatly suppressed the growth of celebrity pay.

The former 20 million club, at least within the control of Daenerys Entertainment, would not be able to get any star. At most, he could only cross this threshold in disguise through the form of sharing.

Compared to Schwarzenegger, who has the foundation of the "Terminator" series, Stallone's luck is really not good.

Simon is still very impressed by Stallone's inspirational experience. He will not refuse if he has the right opportunity to cooperate, but there is no such project in his hand for the time being.

Sandra just mentioned it simply, it was a favor, after all, it was an investment of tens of millions of dollars, so she didn't mean to participate too much.

After chatting for a while, when he saw Jonathan Friedman coming and greeting his agent, the girl stood up tactfully, but before leaving, she gave Simon a blank look, because Jonathan brought a woman over, which seemed to suit a certain guy's taste.

"Simon, this is Ferra, you should know it. I remember you bought the copyright of "Charlie's Angel" very early, right?"

"Of course," Simon and Jonathan greeted him, shook hands with the woman who came with him, and smiled, "Hello, Ms. Forsette."

Ferra Forsette, one of the heroines of the TV series "Charlie's Angel" in the 1970s.

WMA was the dominant player in the 1970s, and the main creators of "Charlie's Angel" were basically all WMA artists.

Although he is over forty years old, as one of the most well-known vase actresses in the 1970s, Ferra Forsette is also a fairy clan that successfully resisted the erosion of time. He is not inferior to young girls in both figure and appearance, and has a bit of mature charm accumulated over the years.

The woman's voice is also very nice, with a little baby voice, but not coquettish at all.

After greeting him, Ferra Forsette sat down next to Simon without hesitation, and his body wrapped in a thin silk dress touched Simon a few times intentionally or unintentionally.

The three of them chatted casually for a while, and Ferra Forsette took the initiative to mention the purpose of asking Friedman to help introduce her. She wanted to try the role of the heroine of "The True Lies".
