"Thank you, I'm glad you like this party tonight, George... China, the scenery there is beautiful and the food is delicious. In fact, you can go there in person, as long as you don't bring quantum funds with you... Of course, there is no problem with investment, but I think you may not focus on this in recent years. The Mexican Peso battle is not much worse than the time in 1992... If Igret IPO and listed, it should be in the second half of next year... If you want to short the technology stocks, don't be too troublesome. Let's bet directly. How many short orders do you throw? Cersei Capital will be next... Who can be sure of this kind of thing? I just believe that I have a bigger chance of winning."

"Yes, the filming has been completed, and it is in the late stage... It's just an interesting idea that I occasionally have, just a fun idea... I'm not new to say it now. Terry, if you are interested, you can come and have a look during the trial... "The Brave's Game". I'm still a little hesitant about the script of the project. Now I have two ideas. I don't know which one is better. Let's discuss it when the script outline comes out. The schedule for next year is full, so this project doesn't need to be too anxious, and I can't be anxious either."

"Rupert, I thought of one thing when I saw you. We should take time to talk about the political stance of FOX TV network... Yes, it seems that you have understood what I mean. If you stand on the Republican side and I stand on the Democrat side, as long as you cooperate properly, it will be beneficial to both of us... If nothing unexpected happens, the bill to lift the media integration ban will be voted on by Congress next month, and FOX will also develop into a real national public television network."

“…”

"Charlie, you can directly tell Mr. Redstone that MGM is not a product, so he shouldn't think about it. In addition, I'm very interested in Viacom. You can help me ask him if he sells it. This is serious, not kidding... Oh, you, the CEO of Morgan Stanley, ask me about the trend of technology stocks, which is not suitable... We have been working happily over the years. Igret's lead underwriters must be you and Goldman Sachs. This will not change. However, this IPO scale is even larger than Daenerys Entertainment. I also need to consider risks. It is necessary to introduce some secondary underwriters."

“…”

"The IE window involves the core of our settlement agreement with the Ministry of Justice. It is impossible to take a quick look. Steve, the traffic of the AOL portal needs you to strive for through content and services. Moreover, I must remind you again that online services can only be an auxiliary business of the United States Online, and you must focus your main energy on the ISP business."

“…”

"I have indeed absorbed a large number of shares of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mac. The two companies have federal government credibility guarantees and exclusive franchise licenses in the US housing loan market. They are completely monopolistic operations. Now the real estate industry is recovering again, which is definitely the best opportunity to buy. Westeros has held 4.9% of the shares in both companies, with a total investment of US$1.2 billion, and has now risen to US$1.5 billion... This money was borrowed by me, but the current book profit is enough to pay interest in the next three years, which is very cost-effective, right? I certainly don't want to be targeted by the SEC, Fink, so I will still submit shareholding materials to the board of directors of the two companies. If Black Rock intends to increase its holdings, I can postpone this... That's right, long-term holding, I promise that it will be at least five years, and it will not affect your operations."

“…”

"Sorry, Steve, despite having a 20% stake in ESPN, I can't support your plan to buy out the NRL broadcast rights, which involves billions of dollars, and even if I want, Murphy and Buffett wouldn't agree. But if you want, you can wait another year...well, what did I say just now?"

“…”

"I'm very happy to know you, Mark, and I'll be kind to B in the future. If I hear you bully her, I'll settle the score with you... Goldman Sachs has mentioned to you again about buying Aliya... In this way, Friedman is here, I'll mention it with him later. This is not the case for the business... By the way, how is the lawsuit with Bloomberg? Tell me?"

“…”

"Happy New Year, Donald, this person is...I'm glad to meet you, Ivanka, you must have inherited more genes from your mom...Who made your dad so ugly."

“…”

"Yes, I have seen the joint venture plan, which is very good. However, I don't like the name "Ligao", which doesn't sound easy at all. Since you want to get a lip service, it's called "BBBK" and BBK Electronics Co., Ltd.... It's the New Year soon in China. When are you going back... You still have to go home during the New Year. Let's go back together, and communicate with Duan Duo in person... Well, you can pay your salary one year in advance and just talk to A tomorrow."

“…”

"Yes, I didn't expect the 'Information Age' to be so successful. This can only once again show that a new era is coming. However, Raymond, you don't need to be envious. The future scale of the mobile communications business that Verizon is currently focusing on developing will not be much worse than the Internet. As long as the Clinton administration's Telecommunications Act is promulgated, Verizon can implement the next expansion plan."

“…”

"Hello, Paris, Nikki, you look like twins... Why do I know you are not twins? Well, it's not good for a little girl to be so tricky. Learn how cute you are... Then, Miss Hilton, how about dancing together?"

When the Spurts and Levisons met Simon in the villa hall again, the man had just left the dance floor, holding a little girl with a flushed face in his hand.

This is Nikki, the second daughter of the Hiltons.

The little girl is actually only 11 years old, and her figure has begun to be slim and looks graceful. She was brought over by her parents who violated the 12-year-old rule on the invitation letter, but no one will pursue this.

In fact, many children who come with their parents tonight are like this.

He politely returned the girl to the Hiltons standing next to the dance floor, and chatted for a few more words. Seeing the Spurts and the other family coming, Simon nodded to the Hiltons and turned around and left in disappointed eyes on the other side, who was snatched by his sister.

In the intercourse, there were endless mellow wine and delicacies, as well as music, dance and magic, and the New Year’s Eve party that started at 7 o’clock. Time passed quickly for everyone on the scene, and it was already past 11 o’clock in the blink of an eye.

In more than half an hour, the New Year bell is about to ring.

The party will definitely end after the New Year's bell, which is why the Levisons eagerly wanted to talk to Simon Westeros, otherwise there might be no chance. After several hours of social interaction, the Levisons had already met many core backbones of the Westeros system. However, if they want to get the Levisons out of the predicament, Simon himself still needs to make the decision.

He picked up a glass of red wine from the waiter's tray. When everyone came closer, Simon asked, "Is it a good night for everyone?"

"Of course, this party was amazing," Francis Levison rushed to answer, and said, "Simon, can we talk alone?"

Simon smiled and pointed to the corridor on the east side of the hall: "Let's go there."

As he said that, he turned around and headed towards the corridor first. The Levisons hurriedly followed. The Grace and his wife hesitated slightly, but stopped.

When I came to the small living room on the east side of the villa that could lead to the backyard lawn, I found that the Robert Eiger and his wife and several senior executives from the East Coast TV department were here, as well as the Kardashians, who were very familiar to Simon in his memory.

Everyone greeted him again, and Simon didn't need to mention it. Iger, who realized that there was something to talk about, took the other people away and gave up the living room.

Motion to the Levison couple to sit down at will, and Simon himself sat on the single sofa on one side.

I had already drunk a lot of wine tonight, and I was a little drunk at this time. I held the red wine in my hand, and my body seemed to be a little tilted. I was tilted to my head. I could just see Mrs. Levison sitting in the corner of the couch closest to me, wearing a charming body wrapped in a black evening dress.

Simon likes to hunt for sex, but is not abrupt. He believes that the forced melon is not sweet. He usually only takes action after confirming that women are willing.

Therefore, just a simple stroke, quickly retracted his gaze, sat upright and looked at Francis Levison, but signaled the other party to speak first.

The Levison couple had heard of what kind of man Simon Westero was, but at this moment, Francis Levison, who had a desire, could only ignore the eyes of a young man looking at his wife.

However, Mrs. Levison, Bryce Levison, closed her legs without any trace, and took a look at it intentionally or unintentionally.

Women are tolerant of those who please themselves.

Being able to attract the interest of this very young and extremely wealthy super tycoon will inevitably make Bryce Levison feel some vanity.

Francis Levison has previously contacted James Rebel and Cersei Capital, so he realized that the Westeros system has probably paid attention to the Levison Group.

After receiving Simon's hint, Levison sorted out his thoughts and spoke actively: "Mr. Westeros, I think you should already have some understanding of my family company. If possible, I hope the Westeros system can inject capital into the Levison Group. My requirements are not high, only $500 million, and I guarantee you will get enough returns."

Simon took a sip of the slightly cool red wine, and his thoughts became clearer.

This is a New Year's Eve party, and it was not an occasion to talk about things, but, after just a few hours of socializing, I unknowingly discussed many work topics.

There are not many opportunities for everyone to communicate with Simon in person on weekdays, and this is inevitable.

Hearing Levison's obviously ambiguous offer, Simon's originally not very excited had diminished a lot, and he shook his head slightly and said, "Frank, if it's just a small business of $500 million, you can take the time to talk to Jim and the others. Now it's party time."

When Francis Levison heard this, he was also a little embarrassed.

The main problem facing Levison Group is actually that investors lack confidence in this company. Everyone can see that the real estate market has begun to recover, but no one knows how long the darkness before dawn will last, and whether Levison Group, whose capital chain has been tight, can last until dawn.

If you can't hold on for that day, it will be a domino-like collapse.

What Frances Levison values ​​most when he wants to reach a cooperation with Simon is that the participation of the Westeros system can bring key market confidence to Levison Group. Therefore, let alone US$500 million, even if Simon only invests US$100 million in Levison Group, the news will spread, and it will be much easier for the company's creditors to stabilize immediately, and refinancing will be a lot easier.

It’s a pity that there is obviously no such simple good thing in this world.

After hesitating for a while, Francis Levison finally said: "Mr. Westeros, $700 million, you can get 10% of the Levison Group. Is this OK?"

Just now, Francis Levison did not specify whether the specific attribution of the $500 million was equity or debt.

Now it's a step further.

Simon shook his head again without hesitation: "Frank, I think you are playing tricks on me."

As he said this, Simon stood up and said, "That's it, just contact Jim and the others after you have figured it out."

Simon stood up, and the Levisons stood up immediately.

Francis Levison also understood that his offer just now lacked sincerity. He just wanted to leave enough chips to bargain, but he didn't expect that the young man in front of him didn't want to bargain with him at all.

Seeing Simon walking out, Francis Levison suddenly regretted his delay and was about to catch up with him. His wife had already subconsciously stepped forward and grabbed a young man's arm: "Simon, let's talk again, can we talk again?"

As he said this, it seemed that because he was too anxious, Bryce Levison continued to move forward, his whole body seemed to be holding one of the man's arms.

Everyone immediately paused and noticed that their movements were inappropriate. Bryce Levison subconsciously wanted to let go, but finally held back. Until he confirmed that the man had no idea of ​​going out, he slowly let go of the other party's arm, took a step back and stood next to his husband, trying to make himself gently tidy up the hem of the evening dress as if nothing had happened.

But Simon did not go back and sat down, but said, "I don't like people who are too slow to do things, Frank, since you are not sincere, I offer my price, $1.5 billion, 30% of the Levison Group."

Francis Levison, who was actually a little concerned about his wife's actions just now, subconsciously said, "This is impossible."

The Levison family only holds 15% of the shares of Levison Group because there is no multiple equity structure. In the past, they only rely on the support of several other important shareholders to firmly control the company. If 30% of the shares are sold to Simon Westeros, it is equivalent to directly giving up control of its own company.

What's more, the purchase of 30% of Levison Group's shares for US$1.5 billion is really too low.

You should know that although the fixed assets are only about US$7 billion and the debt ratio reaches 75%, the assets under the Levison Group are very high-quality, with no unfinished projects and no garbage plots. As long as the federal real estate industry recovers and sufficient operating funds are available to revitalize existing properties and develop storage plots, it is not impossible for these assets to more than double their value in the next few years.

At that time, it will be at least $15 billion.

Now, the $5.3 billion debt will no longer be a serious burden compared to the total assets after the future appreciation.

Simon did not bargain with Levison anymore, but said: "I understand your general idea, Frank, I am also very clear about the current situation of Levison Group. US$15 billion, 30% of the shares, which is a very sincere offer for me. Because after reaching this deal, Levison Group will not only obtain sufficient funds, but will also become a member of the Westeros system. Backed by the Westeros system, this company will not only go out of Florida, but also have the opportunity to develop into a world-wide real estate development giant. This is the most fundamental value of this deal. You have one night to discuss with other shareholders of Levison Group. At nine o'clock tomorrow morning, give me an answer, either complete the deal or give up."

After Simon finished speaking, he did not wait for Mrs. Levison to stop him this time, and turned around and left the living room.

When I arrived at the corridor, I raised my wrist and looked at my watch. It was more than twenty minutes before twelve o'clock in the morning, and the new year was about to come.

He greeted the oncoming guests and happened to meet his personal military assistant, Celia Miller and his wife. Simon stopped the other party and just nodded to Philip Miller and said to Celia: "Come here tomorrow morning, I have a special task to assign to you."

Tomorrow is January 1, New Year's Day, or Sunday.

No matter how you look at it, it's all a day off.

However, Celia noticed the man's drunken state with keen attention, and did not refute, nodded, and asked considerately: "Simon, do you want me to help you go upstairs to rest?"

Simon shook his head and refused, walking alone towards the hall.

Janet hid up to rest because she was a little tired not long ago, saying that she would come down again at twelve o'clock, and now she should go downstairs, and she must not miss the New Year kiss.
