After listening to Charlotte Brinita patiently, Simon picked up the coffee in front of him and leaned on the sofa and took a sip, shook his head and said, "What you said makes sense, Charlie, but I am still not interested in investing in the Internet industry in Europe. Moreover, the Westeros system does not completely ignore Europe. It is just for the investment here, our own team is enough and we don't need to cooperate with you."

Facts have proved that due to market capacity, language differences and other reasons, Europe has never seen large Internet giants appear.

If Simon was willing to invest without any effort, he might be able to change history, but with his current position, there is no reason to do so.

As for the troubles that may be encountered in the future, Simon remembers that Apple, Google, and Facebook were repeatedly searched for trouble by the EU antitrust organizations, and a total of tens of billions of euros were fined. However, because the monopoly pattern of a group of Internet giants has been deeply rooted, these measures will not cause them to be damaged in the end.

In order to gain voice in the family business over the years, Charlotte Brinita has experienced many rejections, and Simon's words have not disappointed her. It is a success to see Westeros today. Even if she returns empty-handed this time, as long as she talks about drinking coffee with Simon Westeros in some suitable occasions in the future, it will bring her unexpected benefits.

Charlotte Brinita did not give up easily, saying: "Mr. Westeros, Switzerland's financial investment environment is very different from other regions. You must know this. Just like Melisandra, the registered address is in Switzerland. In addition, we also have the advantages of confidentiality that other countries cannot match. This is the advantage of the whole of Switzerland. So, I believe we have certain opportunities to cooperate."

When Simon heard this, he remembered something, looked up at the woman next to him and asked, "Do you know China? How do you view the country's economy?"

Simon's turn was a bit abrupt, but Charlotte Brinita did not have much trouble. He did his homework in advance. Knowing that the Westeros system attaches great importance to investment in China, he said: "China's economic growth in recent years is very fast. However, I am not optimistic about the long-term prospects of this country, because China's economic foundation is very weak. At this stage, it is only due to the cheap demographic dividend. This is not irreplaceable. Just like your layout in Ukraine, in comparison, Ukraine's human resources cost is cheaper than China, and it is very close to Europe and has an incomparable geographical advantage."

Simon refused to comment on Brinita's answer and said, "In this way, if you want to cooperate with me, you should learn more about China in the future. It is best to go there a few times in person."

Charlotte Brinita is currently the president of the venture capital department of Brinita Asset Management. Her work focus in recent years will also be on the field of new technologies. Out of some prejudice in the bones, women do not think that China has the soil to invest in new technologies. How many computers can that backward country have?

However, Simon said this, and she nodded immediately to agree.

The business she is currently in charge is a springboard for further development in the future. Charlotte Brinita's ultimate goal is to control the entire family business. Therefore, if necessary, she does not mind investing in other fields in China. As long as she can get in touch with Westeros, she also believes that the investors behind the family business do not mind letting her cross-border.

In the Westeros system's plan to plunder the global Internet industry, Simon does not intend to support any local Internet giants in Europe, but China is different.

This time I just laid a secret chess at will.

After all, in the future, the figure of the Westeros system will be standing behind the scenes of a large number of Internet giants in China, which is really a bit unfavorable. If it is a group of shell capital in North America, a group of shell capital in Australia, a group of shell capital in Southeast Asia, and a group of shell capital in Switzerland, even if it can still be vaguely retrieved to the Westeros system, it is at least reasonable on the surface.

Simon could also see that the woman in front of him was not very interested in China, and she did not force it. She gave it an opportunity and couldn't catch it. That was not his own business. So she changed the topic and asked: "Besides subscribing to Igret's shares and investing in instagram, do you have other projects here? Tell me?"

"I'm recently studying computer games and intend to invest in several related game studios. The Steam Mall, owned by Igret, has significantly lowered the game distribution threshold for Universal Studios. Moreover, the development cost of computer games is usually low, and there are also successful cases like "Happy Farm".

"This is a good direction," Simon nodded and said, "However, if you pay enough attention to industry trends, you should be able to feel that Egret has been raising the threshold for listing Steam Mall. Facebook's game platform is the same, so it will not be possible to go online in the future by any single studio-developed games. I recently read an Egret conference memorandum on gaming business. In the future, whether it is Steam or Facebook, the standards for operating games are to rather launch a classic game with a level of 10 million users than 10,000 inferior games with only 10,000 users. So, if you are just planning to play tickets or speculate, I advise you to give up this idea. Well... Actually, it is not necessarily the case. The threshold for game malls on platforms such as Microsoft is still very low."

The early development threshold of Igrit's game mall is very low, and many independent game studios and even individual developers can upload games and earn a considerable income.

However, with the case of the "Adari collapse" that year, Igret would not repeat the same mistakes.

As the Steam Mall and Facebook social games attract more and more players, the Igrit team is also constantly increasing the review threshold for game listings. Recently, it has put forward the principle that Simon just mentioned, rather than 10 million yuan than 1,000 yuan, which will inevitably turn away a large number of small developers with poor strength and poor quality games with poor quality.

Perhaps one or two dark horses will inevitably appear in these games that cannot be put on the shelves, but overall, it can ensure the long-term development of the Igrit Steam Mall and Facebook game platform to the greatest extent.

This actually has another effect.

It is to drive a large number of inferior games to other game platforms with low thresholds.

It is an inevitable and inevitable means for online game publishers to lower the threshold in the early stage to attract content, but when the industry begins to standardize, especially when the leader has already appeared, doing so will a large number of inferior games fill the platform, which will only allow these second- and third-tier publishers to be eliminated by the market more quickly.

The original "Adali crash" was because the poor quality games filled Atali's console platform.

"Thank you for your reminder, Mr. Westeros, I will pay attention."

Charlotte Brinita answered seriously that although she did not intend to focus on the game field for a long time, she did not have any intention of playing or speculation. Her plan was to acquire several startup game studios and invest in the energy to develop one or two high-quality games. While the game was successful, she also sought to sell and cash out the studio.

This is also a common operating process for venture capital.

Select a group of studios, and as long as one project is successful in the next few years of operation, you will get good returns as a whole.

Of course, if a studio can launch a phenomenal game, just like Nintendo's "Super Mario" or Facebook's "Happy Farm", Charlotte Brinita will definitely hold the relevant studios for a long time.

But there is no need to explain this in detail to the man in front of you.

The two continued to chat for a while, and a girl came in to remind her. Simon found that it was almost noon, so she stood up and said to Brinita: "I have a manor nearby, so let's go for lunch together."

Charlotte Brinita almost thought Westeros was going to see off the guests, but after hearing what the man said, of course he agreed.

It was said that it was nearby, and the group left the military theme park area and drove for about half an hour before reaching the destination.

This is a hot spring manor located in the mountains and forests in the north of Rifney. The surrounding area is covered by snow and trees. Not to mention that the private woodland has been quietly surrounded by Simon within a few kilometers, but the manor within the wall covers an area of ​​10 acres. The interior of the manor is still in the American country resort style, but the overall layout absorbs some design concepts of oriental gardens. Therefore, it is not as wide as the usual Western manor. The pavilions and pavilions designed in combination with the main building make the interior of the manor look staggered. Because it is located above the hot springs and is warm and warm, the interior of the manor is full of greenery, and the streams and pools dotted in the manor are even blooming flowers.

Even though he lived in a wealthy house since childhood and entered this manor, Charlotte Brinita was still slightly lost in the shock of the scene in front of him.

Such a paradise cannot be built with money.

Until he discovered that Simon Westeros had temporarily stopped waiting for him, Charlotte Brinita quickly took another step and smiled apologetically at the man.

Lunch is ready.

When the restaurant was seated, Charlotte Brinita initially thought that she and Simon were the only two, but she didn't expect that there were seven people sitting at the long dining table, Simon, A, three small water onions, and a tall girl. The man was occupied by three small water onions, and she sat opposite her girl A and the tall girl who introduced herself to Eve.

The atmosphere of the dining was quite warm. Most of the time, three small water onions were talking to the man opposite. Charlotte Brinita didn't understand Russian, let alone Ukrainian. Fortunately, the man opposite and the girl next to her often took the initiative to change into English to talk to her, and there was no disappointment.

Secretly looking at the other Wei family maids who were not bad at serving the dishes, and then looking at the girls sitting beside them, Charlotte Brinita unexpectedly realized something.

I was inexplicably feeling a little nervous.

or.

Maybe, maybe, maybe, there is still some expectations.

Although she is 35 years old, she has been married for many years, but since she agreed to this meeting with Grace's obvious hint, she has actually made some preparations.

After all, this is Simon Westeros.

Men will rate women, and women will also rate men.

Charlotte Brinita is confident that he can score above 90 points, and if a young man standing high in the clouds has a full score of 100 points, it is not an exaggeration to add an additional 10 to 20 points.

She is the one who takes advantage of her when she goes to bed with the other person.

After lunch, the three girls of Caterina took the initiative to pull Westeros to go to the hot springs. The man invited her to join her casually, and hesitated for a moment and agreed.

Really hesitant.

It’s not that I don’t want to, but that if it’s the ‘lineup’ for lunch, it’s really a bit messy.

Fortunately.

In the end, nothing happened.

but.

It wasn't that nothing happened, but she became the one who was invited to appear, leaving only three young apples in the indoor hot spring bath.

A little frustrated again.

Some rebellious thoughts also arise.

Since he was not sent off directly, he insisted on not saying goodbye.

The girl A was not very enthusiastic about her from beginning to end, but she knew the importance of the other party being around Westeros. You should know that the four girls a, b, c, and d on the Forbes American 400 Rich List a few days ago, but two of them were on the list, and so on, many things can be imagined.

This is not the first time I have encountered such coldness. Although I am very proud at heart, Charlotte Brinita didn't mind putting down his figure at all as long as it was good for me. Finally, in the evening, I successfully got the contact information of A girl, even if it was just a work email, it was enough.

I thought I would spend the night here, but after dinner, everyone set out again in the night and rushed back to downtown Rifney.

Pay special attention.

The three originally green apples all turned red in their faces, as if they suddenly matured, and they were inexplicably envious.

It was already past eight o'clock in the evening when I returned to the city.

I didn't quite understand why I had to make such a struggle. Staying in the hot spring manor would definitely be more comfortable than the city. It was not until the convoy was divided into two and Simon's driver entered a brightly lit area northwest of the city of Rifney. When the car stopped, I realized that the man had other arrangements.

Seeing Simon get off the car and when he returns, Charlotte Brinita, who was sitting beside him, left the Mercedes-Benz, which was a street entrance with crowds.

Don't understand what a man wants to do.

However, when Charlotte Brinita found that the three little apples and the girl were leaving with several other cars, and the only woman was following Westeros, Charlotte Brinita was still a little happy, took the initiative to come to the man and asked softly, "Simon, what are we going to do?"

After getting familiar with it, I quietly changed my name.

Simon signaled towards the lively street and said, "Carbon Street, let's take a look."

Charlotte Brinita was still a little confused, but he didn't ask much, and took the initiative to follow the man into this crowded street, looking around curiously. But he quickly lost interest. There were only ordinary restaurants and shops such as clothing, appliances, and food on both sides of the street, and the grade was very low. Compared with the commercial streets she had visited, it can be described as shabby.

However, after all, I graduated from the best London Business School in Europe and gradually discovered the difference in this street.

It was already cold nights around minus ten degrees Celsius. This place was so prosperous, and the flow of people was definitely several times that of the famous commercial streets in my memory. At least it is certain that any shop on this street is very profitable at least for the owners of those shops.

This commercial street was actually also built in the Westeros system.
