Snow and Greenwich were taken to Los Angeles on September 19. Sophia did not come to North America, but Jennifer went to Rome in person. Simon could probably understand the woman's thoughts. She didn't act too reluctantly, and just hoped that the two little guys could truly and completely integrate into the Westeros family.

When Jennifer went to pick up people, Janet arranged a small team from Boeing to accompany him.

The two Boeing 767s ordered by the Westeros family at the beginning of the year are about to start interior decoration. Janet handed over the design of one of them to Sofia and asked the female assistant to take a message. This plane will be Sofia's exclusive car, and you can often come to Los Angeles to see children.

It's a default.

Sofia did not refuse either.

On the other hand, this weekend when "Happy Ranch" was launched, triggering a national carnival. Simon is in New York. In order to ensure the foolproof of "American Idol", he personally participated in the post-production of the first episode of the reality show.

September 25th, the new week.

As time comes to the end of September, TV series and reality shows such as "Survivor", "Friends", "Seinfeld", "Desperate Housewife", "Beverly Wife", "Who Will Be a Millionaire" produced by Daenerys Entertainment have been launched recently. In the last week of this month, there are two new projects such as "American Idol" on September 26 and "Sex and the City" on September 28 waiting to be launched.

At the same time, on Tuesday morning, September 26, after a series of transactions and mergers and acquisitions this month, Daenerys Entertainment and Metropolitan ABC Group held a press conference in New York, announcing that the merger of the two companies has officially passed all reviews by the U.S. Department of Justice and the Federal Communications Commission and other departments, and is about to enter the next stage of the transaction.

Immediately afterwards, "American Idol" started broadcasting at 8 o'clock that night.

The first episode lasts a total of 86 minutes, which is actually considered to be a two-episode broadcast. This is the convention for most newly launched TV projects.

As usual, Simon did not sign on the list of "American Idol" producers. However, the circle knew that he had a high degree of participation in this reality show, so they all bet on close attention. Many entertainment media predicted that the number of viewers in the first episode of "American Idol" would exceed more than 20 million before the filming of this show. However, the facts proved that most people's judgments were still too conservative.

Half an hour after the broadcast, Nelson, who monitored the ratings of American TV programs in real time, announced the first data on his official website.

34.7 million.

This is the number of viewers who started the first episode of "American Idol", which directly rose from the gathering of popular broadcasts predicted by many media to a phenomenon level.

Immediately afterwards, the Igret portal responded quickly to the front page, and popular entries appeared on Facebook, further promoting many potential viewers to pay attention to this reality show.

Simon came to New York last Thursday to complete the post-production of the first episode of "American Idol", but still could not return to the West Coast. After the merger between Daenerys and the Metropolitan ABC passed federal review, there is still more work to be done next.

While the long-prepared "American Idol" was aired on ABC, Daenerys and Metropolitan ABC were holding a cocktail party in a hotel in the Upper West Side, mainly to celebrate the merger case passing the authorities' review. News of the good ratings of "American Idol" also came as soon as possible, and everyone in the banquet hall raised their glasses to celebrate.

According to convention, the first viewing data of the series that just started broadcasting will definitely be relatively high due to early promotion. In the future, some viewers who feel that they do not match their taste will decline.

However, after the start of 34.7 million, as long as the average number of viewers on the premiere remains above 30 million, it is an absolute success.

The number of viewers in "American Idol" once hit 30 million, becoming the trump card of FOX. This time, Simon's expectation is that the average viewership in the first season can reach more than 20 million of the hits, even if he succeeds, he underestimated himself.

Not only someone's explanation, as the news of the broadcast of the ratings was heard, the hotel staff quickly brought a large-screen TV in the corner of the banquet hall, and it was naturally "American Idol". The guests present knew what a TV program with a rating of 30 million was meant, and many people curiously came over to watch it.

Instead of joining in the fun, Simon gathered with several senior executives of the two companies to discuss the subsequent merger.

The merger case has passed the authorities' review, and the first thing to do is settle.

Because a flexible settlement plan was first given, Metropolitan ABC shareholders could freely choose the ratio of stocks and cash transactions, so it would take two weeks to level it. After passing the review, many mergers and acquisitions directly handed out a large check, and the additional accounting cost would be tens of millions of dollars. However, since it has been promised, of course it must be implemented.

Only after completing the settlement can the Metropolitan ABC Group be officially acquired.

Then, according to the original plan, personnel adjustments, asset restructuring and other matters, Tom Murphy, former chairman and CEO of Metropolitan ABC Group, will retire, and the TV assets and Daenerys TV department of Metropolitan ABC Group will be integrated into a brand new Daenerys TV company. Robert Eiger will serve as CEO and manage ABC TV, ESPN TV, USA TV, AE TV, Fashion TV, ABC Radio and other TV assets under Daenerys Entertainment Group.

In addition to the TV network, Metropolitan ABC Group also has a batch of newspaper and magazine assets worth no less than US$1 billion.

Simon initially planned to package and sell this part of the assets, but after considering it, he still canceled the idea.

Daenerys Entertainment is not short of this $1 billion in cash now. On the contrary, more newspapers and magazines will have more media voice, so it intends to integrate with a batch of print media inherited from the MCA. The decline of the paper media industry is an inevitable trend, but even if the value of this batch of assets depreciates to zero in the end, it is irrelevant to the huge size of Daenerys Entertainment.

After initially completing all adjustments, it will take one to two years to achieve the synergistic effect of the entire Daenerys Entertainment integration.

Synergistic effect, this is a seemingly simple word.

For many merged companies, it is not easy to truly realize.

When Times merged with Warner Brothers, it was publicly publicly that it hoped that the two companies could achieve synergies. As a result, Times Warner still has internal struggles and disputes. Senior executives from different hills compete for power and profits, but the synergies have not been realized, but have been constantly consuming internally.

If this is not the case, Time Warner's stock price will not be sluggish all the time.

Simon is confident that the new Daenerys Entertainment will achieve synergies, because this company has only one brain. Not only that, since the establishment of Daenerys Entertainment, Simon has been continuously promoting cooperation between departments, which has become a corporate culture of Daenerys Entertainment.

In fact, there will inevitably be differences when there are too many people.

Simon's attitude is very clear. Whoever wants to "realize himself as king" under Daenerys Entertainment, then get out. At Daenerys Entertainment, a group of senior executives are all the company veterans who have followed Simon all the way to the present day. However, Simon actually doesn't mind becoming "Zhu Yuanzhang" at all.

After all, a cocktail party is not a place to talk about things.

Everyone got together for more than ten minutes and then went to socialize with other guests.

Simon had just changed himself to a glass of champagne from the waiter's tray. Two small women wearing similar black evening gowns came over together, but it was the sisters Kim Richards and Kyle Richards, who raised their glasses to greet the two women. Simon glanced around casually and found that Richard Hilton and Cathy Hilton happened to be nearby. He noticed that Simon was looking over, and Cathy Hilton, who was also aiming here, hurriedly avoided his gaze.

The three sisters gave Simon a completely different feeling at the beginning.

Mainly, small.

There are three sisters, Cathy Hilton, the tallest sister, who is only 160cm tall, and Kim Richards and Kyle Richards are both small men around 155cm.

Just laughed and withdrew his gaze, Simon took the initiative to greet him, "King, Kyle, how are you doing recently?"

"not bad."

Kyle Richards took the conversation first, just looking at Simon with a little resentment. After that night, the two of them kept trying to get close to Simon again, hoping that he could help them start their career in a new role. However, later they realized that it was so difficult for this seemingly ubiquitous man to say a few words in person.

Last time, they almost forced their elder sister to get an invitation to the premiere of "Jurassic Park 2". As a result, at the later party, because of Janet Westeros who was with Simon, the man spent a short time at that party and didn't even say a word.

Kyle Richards also tried to win the role of "Sex and the City" that will be aired this week, and even got Robert Eiger's phone number from his sister, and hinted at her and Westeros during the call, hoping to take a shortcut.

Unfortunately, she failed to pass the first round of auditions, and the other party's reply was straightforward. She was too low to play with other actors. The person in charge who had been talking to her several times in a row even mocked the crew impatiently that it was impossible for the crew to find a group of small, 5 feet tall to play urban fashion women. Kyle Richards was so angry that he fell off the phone on the spot.

As the most successful Nuggets girl in this circle, of course she would not give up so easily.

So the sisters forced themselves into the party tonight with their elder sister's light.

I had already made a draft of the story, and first of all, I had to condemn a guy's cold behavior that he forgot about them later, and then asked for a chance. However, when I came to a man and looked at the handsome face that seemed harmless, the two sisters suddenly felt a little quailed.

Only those who are ignorant can be fearless.

The Richards sisters who were built by their mothers towards the direction of a famous lady since childhood have been living in so many years, and are definitely not ignorant. Instead, they have a profound understanding and understanding of the top level of this social pyramid. After seeing the glory in it, they can better understand the power behind many seemingly simple identities. The young people in front of them are undoubtedly the existence that makes them completely surrender and look up to.

The simplest thing is, if he doesn't give it to them, they have no choice. On the contrary, if he accidentally angers the other party, he can easily take everything from them and leave them with no place in this circle.

This is power.

The awe of power in humans comes from this, because it can be seized by life and death. Therefore, we can also be able to chat and laugh at other powers that cannot affect our own, just like the presidents of other countries.

When we first met, we could let go because a guy was too young and seemed too easy to talk to. Over the past few months, we had a deep understanding of the other party's out of reach, so we were inevitably cautious.

With compliments in his tone, he casually talked about "American Idol" that was being played in a corner of the hall. He wanted to go step by step, but forgot the occasion. Soon someone came over again, and it was still a woman, a woman who could only look up to them. This time it was a real look up to them.

With Jerry Hall's height of 183cm, put on high heels and looked at the Richards sisters, as if looking down at the two little children.

Moreover, after the woman walked in, she took Simon's arm without any concealment and pretended to be curious about the identity of the two sisters.

After introducing each other for a few words, Jerry Hall pulled Simon away in a rude way, saying that there was something to talk about. Relying on Simon, with the current popular "Fashion Workshop", Jerry Hall has been very comfortable in recent years, so he never thought about leaving. After discovering the female guard of the Wei family next to the waist and legs, he took the initiative to ask Simon for a guard.

It's actually a tacit understanding.

Simon never forced the woman around him. If she is willing to be Westeros' lover, she can get a guard, which can be an assistant and a kind of surveillance. If she wants to leave, she will send the two girls around her back to the Westeros family. Before that, if she has an affair with other men, Simon will not be polite.

Jerry Hall is also a very smart woman.

When I got $5 million from Simon to buy a luxury house and asked for a guard she deserved, I tactfully did not ask Simon for more. However, it was easy to take a backrest with a big tree, not to mention Simon's towering tree that soared into the sky, "Fashion Workshop", and several other projects that women have built rely on the resources of the Westeros system in recent years, and a fashion brand created with the trend, which is very prosperous.

Jerry Hall wouldn't say much about Simon hooking up with other women. He pulled the man to the sofa in a corner of the banquet hall to sit down. He asked two glasses of red wine to replace the man's champagne, snuggled up with him and sat down, then asked with a smile: "Are you starting to be interested in that type of woman?"

Simon casually put his arms around the woman's waist and rubbed it, and smiled and said, "You know, I'm a man who is brave enough to try."
Chapter completed!
