Karen Muder pushed open the door of Grace's office and saw that Westeros was indeed here. He didn't care about so many things and rushed in and went straight to Simon and said, "Mr. Westeros, I'm Karen, I'm so sorry, but maybe you have any misunderstandings about me. Can you give me some time to explain?"

The girl said that she had already arrived at the desk, but she didn't dare to risk her chances to bully Simon, looking at the man opposite her across the desk with hope.

Before Simon could speak, Cindy Crawford said rudely: "Karen, don't you think this is rude? I think you should go out first."

Karen Muder ignored Cindy's aggressiveness and looked over even more pitifully.

Simon was not angry. He looked at the girl who probably became more pleasing to the eye after re-plastic surgery. He also put the toes of the desk and slanted to the other side: "Come here."

Seeing that Westeros did not drive her out immediately, Karen Muder immediately felt hope. He obediently walked around the desk and went to Simon's left, leaning against the edge of the table like Cindy. The girl was holding her bag in front of her with both hands. She noticed Westeros looking at her, and quickly put the bag next to her and stood up slightly.

Simon was actually admiring a Pop graffiti-style long-sleeved, low-cut knee-length skirt worn by Karen Mud today. After a moment, he asked: "This skirt is great, which brand is from?"

Karen Mud found that the man's attention was on her skirt, and he was a little disappointed, but he hurriedly said: "Koyi, this is the latest spring and summer model just released this year."

Simon nodded: "It's very beautiful."

Cindy gently put his hand on Simon's calf and grabbed the topic: "Simon, if you like it, now is a good time to acquire Kouyi. I heard that the company has not been doing well in recent years and has suffered losses last year. However, Kouyi's design style is really great. Now he is Carl as the creative director."

Simon raised his left leg and folded it over to press Cindy's little hand, and smiled and said, "If you think a piece of clothing is beautiful, you have to buy a company, and I can't buy it."

Cindy said: "$600 billion, you can buy whatever you want, like, well, Elite."

Simon didn't comment.

Cindy instead became interested and continued to instigate: "I really think Kouyi is very suitable. It has its own unique style and does not conflict with Melisandra's existing brand. You see, Gucci is ostentatious, Versace is gorgeous, CK is avant-garde, Burberry is classic, and Kouyi, I think it is rebellious enough, just like the skirt on Karen, the design is very bold. Moreover, Kouyi happens to be in a low point, just like Gucci and CK in the past few years, it is a good time to buy at the bottom."

Simon raised his eyebrows slightly, and wanted to ask Cindy if he knew why some brands such as Kouyi had fallen into a trough again in recent years?

Just hold it in time when you say something.

This is the development strategy of Melisandra that he and Sophia have only talked about in private.

Actually, it's still those four words.

One rises and the other falls.

After winning multiple brands in a row, Melisandra's "Aircraft Carrier Battle Group" model has been completely formed. What we need to do next is to continuously expand and squeeze the market share of other first- and second-tier luxury brands, and ultimately completely eliminate as many competitors as possible.

Simon didn't know much about Koe.

However, since it is not a brand under Melisandra, it can only be a competitor.

Cindy's words: "God of Lafayette" Kara Lagerfeld personally served as Creative Director of Kouyi, but he could not stop the decline of the brand. Perhaps it was due to the brand's own business strategy mistakes, but it was certainly not lacking the reason why Melisandra was increasingly squeezing her living space.

In fact, Simon is currently executing the same strategy in Hollywood.

The current targets are mainly Columbia, Disney and Paramount, and these three major studios are all in the hands of overseas companies.

If it was a few years ago, in order to avoid other Hollywood studios rebounding because Daenerys Entertainment was too strong, Simon would take the initiative to cooperate with these companies to some projects.

This is why the recent batch of collaborative videos are not as good as the three companies in Colombia.

In fact, doing so may allow the three overseas giants behind the scenes to remove them again in order to stop losses, and may return to the hands of local American companies. However, after repeated tossing, these former Hollywood studios, even if they can continue to survive, will definitely be able to be ranked among the second-rate studios and will no longer be ranked alongside several first-tier giants such as Daenerys Entertainment.

Some things cannot be revealed to Cindy, and Simon just joked: "I didn't expect you would think about these things on weekdays. Are you planning to create a fashion brand?"

Seeing Simon changing the subject, Cindy stopped continuing and said, "Of course I thought about it, but I also know that I might mess it up, so I won't make it."

"It's very self-aware," Simon smiled and asked again, "How is your "Fair Game"?"

When Simon mentioned this, Cindy was a little disappointed: "Warner has already set a schedule, October 13th."

"A cemetery."

January, February and September are the most unpopular periods in the North American film market, commonly known as the movie cemetery. Although there are occasional dark horses, most of the movies that are left out during this period are basically not favored by studios, and not many truly successful ones are.

Cindy starred in the Cold War spy film "Fair Game", which is set in the background, and Simon happened to have an impression in his memory.

This is the first female lead film in history when Cindy Crawford tried to enter Hollywood, and the last one with a $50 million bombshell production budget, which ended with a box office defeat. The first-generation supermodel who rose in the 1980s gradually retired and chose to get married and have children to return to the family.

Simon dissuaded Cindy from participating in this movie. Now, judging from Warner's schedule, the quality of the movie is still unsatisfactory.

The Hollywood circle is actually very superstitious. Even if the responsibility for the failure of the film in the end is not the actors, other film companies will avoid the main creators due to the failure of the project.

Cindy has seen the sample "Fair Game" and has no expectations for this movie. After hearing what Simon said, she has a little more pitiful expression. She touched Simon's legs with her little hand and took the opportunity to say, "Simon, I want to sign a three-year contract with Victoria's Secret. What do you think?"

Simon was not moved by Cindy's little movements and expressions, and shook his head directly and said, "I have other arrangements for this matter. If I remember correctly, you were born in 1966 and will be 30 next year. Haven't you ever thought about doing something else?"

Cindy's movements froze and said quickly, "I thought about it, didn't it fail? Simon, please, I can get the same endorsement salary as them, even if I sign for another two years, how about it?"

Simon reacted and said that he had just talked about "Fair Game", which was obviously a failure in the transformation. Hearing Cindy's conditions, he shook his head and said, "This is too advantageous for you, so don't want it. In addition, even if you step down as spokesperson, you can continue to be on the Victoria's Secret TV."

How can the resources that can be obtained by simply walking the catwalk and Victoria's Secret spokesperson be the same?

Seeing that Cindy wanted to say something else, Simon waved his hand: "This matter is not discussed. Cindy, in fact, IELTS will also withdraw with you this time. She has signed for five years and still insists on withdrawing, intending to do some behind the scenes. You should learn from her."

When Cindy heard this, her tone suddenly felt a little sour: "If I had $100 million, I would retire now. Simon, how about you recommend me to invest in some Internet projects, similar to Instagram?"

"There are many opportunities in the past one or two years, like Igret, which is about to go public, and there are Tinkobaier and Melisandra. If you are interested, you can use the money to subscribe to a batch of stocks, and I'll say hello to you."

Cindy questioned: "I saw in the newspaper that the IPO valuations of these companies are too high, and there is no room for growth."

Simon said with a firm tone: "Sure."

Cindy was still hesitant in her expression. She was one of the most financial-management supermodels who had a good financial management role in recent years. If it were the first startup project like Instagram, she would have asked her to spend hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars, it would be fine. She would be a little reluctant to buy stocks of companies such as Igret.

Now many media believe that the bubble of the new technology industry is very serious and may burst at any time. Even if she is asked to take out some of her savings, it will still make people feel very distressed if it is wasted.

Compared to stocks, Cindy would rather invest in real estate.

Seeing that the girl did not agree, Simon didn't say much. At this stage, Cisco's stock price has gone further, breaking the $200 billion mark, and other American Online, Microsoft and other companies have also reached the level of 100 billion. In the eyes of many people, these companies already have a very serious bubble component, which is actually a fact.

However, Simon still seems to be a long way from the peak of the new technology industry bubble.

It is very rare for Simon to be able to give some advice to Cindy, just like last time I suggested that girls not participate in "Fair Game". After all, they have nothing to do with themselves, and if the other party doesn't listen, Simon is too lazy to force them.

Fernanda Lima, who had finally made the coffee, came over at this time, holding a cup of hot coffee, and came to Simon with a little embarrassed look, and said, "Sorry, Mr. Westeros, there is only a disposable paper cup."

Simon nodded, withdrew his legs on the desk and sat up. Because of his instinctive obsession with cleanliness, his feet were unwilling to fall to the ground. He slightly raised his legs and lowered his head to look for his leather shoes.

Karen Mude, who had just opened his head and couldn't get in the conversation again, saw the man's movements, suddenly squatted down, took Simon's leather shoes, and noticed that the squatting posture was still a little high, so he simply knelt on the floor and helped the man put on his shoes like a docile maid.

Simon was not polite, and turned the leather chair slightly, holding one foot in his hand by Karen Mude, and the other one was placed on the girl's elastic thigh. Seeing Cindy's hesitation expression, she smiled and signaled: "Don't you want to help me put on shoes?"

Cindy rolled her eyes and saw that Karen Muder had already held the man's other foot, so she had to say, "I'm not your maid."

"Oh, it's not easy to be my maid. You don't seem to meet the standards except for being a little pretty."

Cindy reacted, thinking of ABCD, thinking of Alice Ferguson, thinking of Sophia Fessi... It seems, indeed.

After putting on his two shoes, Simon patted him on his knees. Karen Muder tactfully did not get up, but went forward and lay obediently on the man's lap.

Taking the coffee from Fernanda next to him, Simon took a sip, then looked at the girl who looked at her flatteringly, and asked, "So, what's wrong with you? Didn't Grey sign you? This time she took over Elite, which will only benefit you more?"

Karen Muder hesitated and didn't know how to answer. Cindy, who couldn't stand her flattering appearance, had already revealed her: "Last week, Grey and John had a falling out, and Qusi and the others stood with Grey, and only she couldn't wait to transfer to John's name."

Karen Muder glared at Cindy who was talking too much, and then quickly turned to Simon. The girl did not make any arguments, but said pitifully: "Simon, I was wrong. Can you talk to Grey? Let me spare this time, I promise, there will be no next time."

"It seems to be quite serious," Simon leaned against the armrest of the leather chair, reached out to pick the girl's chin, and said, "But, seeing that you were so obedient just now, I'll talk to Grey later and let you go this time."

"Oh, thank you, Simon, I'm so grateful to you, oh... Woo, sorry, I'm a little out of composure, I'm so sorry, I just..."

Karen Muder had no doubt about Simon's right to speak in front of Grace. He thought the disaster was coming, but he didn't expect that things would pass so easily. While saying thank you, tears couldn't help but shed. Since she received news of Elite's drastic changes in the morning and realized what was going on, she almost collapsed.

Simon looked at the girl who was grinning and laughing with her legs, but she didn't have any contempt and disdain in her heart.

The young girl who is only 25 years old now has debuted for 10 years and has been in the current position after going through twists and turns. She can also deeply understand how difficult it is to reach the top of the fashion circle, and she becomes more and more afraid of losing all this.

Karen Murd, who was once in history, suffered from depression due to his career decline in the late 1990s, had continuous plastic surgery like obsessive-compulsive disorder, and had various hysteria.

In the final analysis, I still can't let go of the world of fame and fortune.

In fact, most people who enter this circle are like this.

Whether it is in the fashion circle or Hollywood.

Just like Robert Downey Jr., later people only saw the various glory of this Marvel No. 1 man, but they didn't know that before Downey became popular with Iron Man, he not only had a long-term addiction to drugs, but also had emotional collapse in private occasions more than once. He cried and complained to his friends about why he couldn't meet Leonardo and why he couldn't become as popular as Johnny Depp.

Robert Downey Jr. is a second-generation Hollywood actress who can show his face in his father's movies at the age of 7. Compared with those young actors who have no foundation at all, Downey has never lacked opportunities after his debut. He can be nominated for Best Actor in the Oscar in his twenties, so he also feels the glory at the top of the Vanity Fair more deeply.

However, the more this happens, the less we can't let go.

Therefore, there are many kinds of things in the circle that ordinary people don’t understand: XXX is already so rich, even if you retire immediately, it is enough to spend your whole life. Why do you still do this and that?

This is the reason.

Even Simon himself once thought he was free and easy, and he was indifferent enough to what he already had. However, this indifference is actually because he knew that he had enough and it was difficult to take away, so he would be calm. If Simon suddenly lost everything he had now, he might also go crazy.
