The difference is that those big shows, they can only be clothes racks, after wearing clothes and walking the runway, they leave as they came, the luxury here, according to the waitress, can be taken away.

Speaking of which, at yesterday's party, they were only allowed to wear a long skirt, not even a satchel. Even so, they had to go through a simple security check before boarding the helicopter in Manhattan.

Girls know that this is to prevent some restless girls from secretly carrying recording pens and cameras, and the more high-end parties, the more these rules are.It was even more natural for them to see Simon Westero doing this.

There were even girls who thought it would be an S party.

However, it turns out that it is really just entertainment and carnival, music, wine, food, dancing, games, blah blah. Yesterday, many girls took the initiative to post Westeros, but until the end of the party, there was no success.No one knows exactly which lucky girls' rooms Westeros slept in last night.

Now, depending on the situation, Simon Westeros is indeed as generous as the rumors say.

Entering this circle, most of the girls have been invited to various parties, but at those parties, the men only want to take advantage of them, and few of them are willing to pay anything.

It was discovered that a girl who had just gone downstairs together had walked towards the shelf full of satchels, and directly picked a Hermès, even if it was not the top-notch platinum bag, with the style of Hermès, it would cost thousands of dollars, Fernanda said. There is really no resistance to these, so I stepped forward to pick them up.

First of all, he also snatched a Hermes.

Hermès's reputation as the "King of Luggage and Bags" is not for nothing. Compared with other brands, Hermès has a strong ability to preserve value. Even basic satchels can be sold for a lot of money if money is tight in the future.

Then start matching up and down, inside and outside.

Gucci shirts, CK jeans, Carine Gilson underwear, Chanel belts, Manolo Blahnik high heels, and finally a set of Lancome makeup and a bottle of Dior perfume.When she came to the dressing table and began to dress up, Fernanda thought of the two slackers who were still sleeping in the bedroom upstairs. There were many clothes, shoes, and bags on the shelf, but the styles were obviously different, and they were basically single items. Prices naturally vary.

By the time they get up, the good things must have been picked out.

After nearly an hour of tossing like this, Fernanda was led to the restaurant of the villa by the waitress with the pink Hermes satchel that she liked more and more. It was already past ten o'clock.

I couldn't help but secretly calculate in my mind that it would cost at least tens of thousands of dollars to cover the entire body.

Every girl in the villa said the same thing.

Gee.

Really looking forward to another party like this.

The two sides of the long table in the restaurant of the villa are enough for 30 people to dine together. There is just a place. Fernanda walked over to sit down. The waitress brought an exquisite menu with several breakfasts to choose from. Fernanda I chose one of them, waited for the gap, and finally remembered one thing, where did Westeros go?

Looking around, it happened that a waitress serving breakfast noticed her gaze and showed a questioning look.

Fernanda hesitated for a moment, but still asked: "Miss, I want to know, where is Mr. Westeros now?"

When Fernanda asked this question just now, the restaurant was visibly quiet.

The waitress just smiled, shook her head and said, "Sorry, Miss, I don't know either. However, the boss should have already left."

There was a small sigh of regret floating in the restaurant.

So did Fernanda.

Since the men are no longer here, there is no need for them to stay too long. After lunch, a Black Hawk helicopter that happened to have sent off a group of girls returned again. Fernanda boarded the helicopter with some girls to catch up. To Manhattan.

Arrive at the apron on the banks of the East River, and there is a special car pick-up here.

Near noon, I finally returned to my rented apartment in the East Village.

After entering the door, looking at the small apartment in front of me, I felt a sense of loss that all the pumpkin carts and crystal shoes had disappeared. Hearing the noise, the co-tenant girl walked into her room and was about to say something when she noticed her outfit and expression. Accidentally asked curiously, signed a non-disclosure agreement beforehand, and was solemnly told by the manager. Of course, Fernanda would not tell the truth, but just perfunctorily gave her a living allowance from her family.

Of course the co-tenant girl didn't believe it, but Fernanda didn't say anything, and she couldn't ask too much, and then said that their manager, Ms. Grace Spurte, called Fernanda as soon as she came back.

Fernanda nodded to show that she understood, instead of calling in the living room, she turned to her bedroom, and then picked up the receiver to dial.

Fernanda switched jobs from Ford's agency at the beginning of the year and signed with Elite's Grace Spurte. Because of her excellent conditions, Grace took the initiative to contact her, and Ford tried her best to keep her.Everyone in the circle knew that Grace Spoulter, who rose suddenly last year, was very well connected in the fashion industry and Hollywood, and it was rumored that she might know Simon Westeros, so she made a decision.

The rise of several girls in Quss Gauff made everyone sure that Grace Spurte was very well connected, but it was just a rumor about Westeros that everyone didn't believe in before.

After yesterday's party, Fernanda was a lot more faithful to the rumors.

Because she was born on June 1977, 6, one week before her 25th birthday.

Originally, in Westeros' party, according to the standard of being over 18 years old, she would be brushed off in the first round.

At the beginning, Fernanda regretted missing a party that was said to bring a great turnaround in their careers. Unexpectedly, the manager lady suddenly informed her that she could attend. After signing the non-disclosure agreement, she learned that it was West. At Luo's party, Fernanda was even more grateful for her rejection of Ford's agency at the beginning of the year and her insistence on quitting.

Otherwise, she may not be able to get this opportunity until the end of her career.

In Fernanda's room, she dialed Grace's mobile phone, and it took a while to get through. The voice of the agent lady over there seemed a bit strange, and she just asked her to go to the company in the afternoon, and hung up the phone quickly .

Upper East Side of Manhattan.

In the bedroom of Simon's apartment on East 68th Street, Fifth Avenue, Grace wrapped her phone in a sheet, then looked at the man on the bed, and said angrily, "I still want to have lunch with you, but I didn't expect you to be here at noon." You all want to bully me, isn't last night enough?"

Simon smiled and stretched out his hand to pull the woman over, hugged her in his arms and said, "I didn't do anything last night."

Grace's face immediately showed the expression of 'you lied to the little girl'.

Simon kissed the woman's smooth shoulder and explained: "The main reason is, um, I didn't feel it, so I just left afterwards. I slept alone last night."

Thinking about the half an hour just now, Grace actually believed it in her heart, and she felt a little inexplicably sweet when she heard Simon say that.

Men have no feelings for those young girls.

For her, it was clearly different.

She didn't mean to delve into the difference at all, as long as she was sure of it, she leaned in the man's arms contentedly, and Grace quickly asked, "When are you going back to Los Angeles?"

"Maybe it will take a few more days, there are still some things here."

Grace actually didn't care what happened to Simon, but she was even happier when she heard that he could stay for a few more days. She just subconsciously asked, "What's the matter?"

Simon said: "The acquisition of ABC has just been negotiated, and it will be announced tomorrow morning. I will stay here and watch to prevent the other companies from rebounding."

Grace also knew that Daenerys Entertainment was preparing to acquire a TV network, and she was a little surprised when she heard the news: "ABC, so it's not CBS?"

"Well, CBS is just a smokescreen."

"In this case, Larry Tisch may turn against you. The stock price of CBS has risen a lot recently. If you suddenly switch to ABC, CBS will definitely fall. And NBC, it seems that you are also planning to buy this company during this time. The news from the TV network is obviously false."

Simon nodded with a smile: "That's why I have to stay here and watch."

Chapter 825 Countermeasure (Revised)

Both Daenerys Entertainment and Metropolitan ABC Group moved very quickly. Simon and Buffett finalized the price on Saturday afternoon, June 6. On the following Sunday, the two companies held several hours-long board meetings respectively, and the price was successfully passed. voted on the merger.

The main reason is that the control rights of the two companies are relatively concentrated.

For Daenerys Entertainment, Simon has absolute control over the company.As far as the Metropolitan ABC Group is concerned, although Warren Buffett and Tom Murphy's control is not as absolute as Simon's, it has been almost the same over the years. The so-called board meeting is more of a formality.

The next day is January 6th.

on Monday.

As a hot topic destined to explode public opinion, under the proposal of the Metropolitan ABC Group, the two parties decided to announce the news through the morning news program "Good Morning America" ​​of the ABC TV network. The broadcast time of "Good Morning America" ​​is from 7 o'clock in the morning to 9 o'clock in the morning, and ABC started a full 8-minute special report at 30 o'clock.

Through the live broadcast, the special report announced the general plan of Daenerys Entertainment to acquire the Metropolitan ABC Group.

Daenerys Entertainment Group will merge the Metropolitan ABC Group in the form of cash and stock. $172 billion in debt, and a total of about $209 billion in M&A.

Not only that, according to the closing price of Daenerys Entertainment Group at the closing price of US$73.75 last Friday, in principle, on the basis of each share of Daenerys Entertainment plus US$98.25 in cash in exchange for one share of Metropolitan ABC Group, Metropolis Shareholders of ABC Group are also free to choose the form of payment to receive more cash or shares.

For the specific conversion ratio, the shareholders of Metropolitan ABC Group can register and settle the transaction after the merger has passed the review of the federal regulatory authorities.

After a general introduction to the acquisition, Amy Pascal, CEO of Daenerys Entertainment Group, Robert Iger, president of Daenerys Entertainment, who is in charge of TV business, Tom Murphy, chairman and CEO of Metropolitan ABC Group, and Warren Buffett, the major shareholder of the Metropolitan ABC Group, also visited the studio of "Good Morning America" ​​to explain in more detail the impact of this merger on the two companies and the entire media industry, and also answered calls from some Wall Street analysts on the spot. and reply.

The 30-minute special report has not yet ended, and this sudden industry earthquake has spread throughout the United States.

In the past few months, with the lifting of the ban on media integration, the industry has realized that Daenerys Entertainment has a high probability of acquiring a major TV network, but according to the various news that have been circulated before, most people are more optimistic about NBC Or CBS would be the target of Daenerys Entertainment.

Connecticut, in the manor on the northern outskirts of Greenwich.

Less than 10 minutes into the news on ABC, Simon has already answered three calls from various parties, two congratulatory calls from Time Warner's Terry Semel and MGM's Shirley Lansing, and one from Some exasperated questioning calls from CBS chairman Larry Tisch.

Irene Lauder dressed up meticulously, and came to the living room where Simon was, just as she heard the man leaning on the sofa counterattack in a calm and somewhat unceremonious manner.

"Larry, if I'm being honest, I didn't see this from you in the first place. Don't tell me that news of Daenerys' contact with CBS was accidentally leaked. Everyone understands what happened."

I just spent half an hour getting dressed. From last night until now, most of the time has been spent in tenderness. Irene Lauder didn't talk to the man about work, so I don't know that Daenerys Entertainment has confirmed the acquisition About the ABC matter, I sat down next to Simon and noticed the special report on "Good Morning America" ​​on the TV, and finally understood what happened.

Another tens of billions of dollars in business.

If this continues, perhaps Simon Westeros will rule the United States as some media have exaggerated.

However, because it was her own man, thinking of this possibility, Irene Lauder just felt more admiration and admiration in her heart. Women instinctively hoped that their man would be stronger.

Simon and Larry Tisch perfunctory for a while, and quickly hung up the phone.

Irene Lauder slapped Simon with light in her eyes: "It's surprising, when did you win ABC again?"

"I just negotiated with Buffett the day before yesterday."

As Simon said, he felt the feminine fragrance from Irene Lauder, and reached out to catch the girl's not-so-beautiful but more charming face, and was about to lean in for a kiss when the phone rang again, so he answered it .

This time it was a call from Michael Eisner, who also expressed his congratulations.

Without letting go of the girl's face, Simon rubbed and felt the warmth of his fingertips while talking with Eisner. After a while, he simply reached out and held the girl in his arms. After chatting for a while, he hung up the phone and just bowed his head and kissed her. The middle girl's lips flapped, the phone rang again.

The occasional small interest of men is also an important reason for Irene Lauder's fall, and she also enjoys this feeling very much.

His interest was disturbed, and he felt a little angry immediately, staring at his eyes and opening his small mouth to bite. Simon had already smiled and dodged, but just filled in a finger and came over. Irene Lauder bit it twice bitterly. Just let him go.

After another phone call with Jonathan Friedman ended, Simon pulled Irene Lauder, who was still a little sullen, to get up: "Let's go, it's time to go to work."

Irene Lauder stood up following the man's strength, her body was a little soft, and her tone was a little coquettish: "Suddenly I don't want to go to work."

Simon was easy to talk and said with a smile: "No problem, why don't you stay here and rest for a day."

Irene Lauder held Simon's hand: "You accompany me."

"I can't, I'm very busy today. But maybe I can come tonight."

Simon wasn't here, so what's the point of staying here, Irene Lauder had no choice but to take the man's arm and walk out together.

Just chatting a few words, Simon's cell phone rang again.

While talking on the phone, the two left the villa, and the helicopter was already waiting on the lawn of the manor.

Being supported by the man himself to board the helicopter, the two of them entered the cabin and sat down, watching Simon's assistant and bodyguards also follow in, Irene Lauder no longer felt guilty at the beginning. Just last month, after a period of Considering this, she took the initiative to break off the engagement with her fiancé.

Currently single.

She is only 25 years old, since she really feels wrong, there is no need to wrong herself.

As for the status of the guy next to her, anyway, it's not her turn to care about this matter, and she doesn't expect to snatch this man from Janet Westeros. Perhaps, this relationship will last for a long time. Years, you may meet another right person and forget about him.

The 40-kilometer journey from Greenwich to Manhattan took less than 15 minutes from take-off to landing of the Black Hawk helicopter customized according to Navy One. At around 08:30, the huge Black Hawk helicopter landed on the banks of the Hudson River. Some of the other helicopters on the tarmac immediately looked like children's toys.

Even though she was also from a wealthy family, Irene Lauder still couldn't help but feel a little vanity when she got off this Black Hawk helicopter modified from military UH 60.I asked curiously when I took the helicopter to Greenwich last night, and learned that the cost of such a custom-made helicopter has reached 3500 million US dollars, which is already comparable to the price of the Gulfstream V ultra-long-range business jet. Irene Lauder was a little speechless.

I have been in helicopters many times since I was a child, and I probably know that even if the price of a small helicopter is slightly more expensive, it only costs 500 million US dollars, and 3500 million US dollars is a waste of money. That's 1.4 million.

The Lauder family couldn't afford it anyway.

I really bought it, but I can't afford it.

Estee Lauder went public at the end of April, and the Lauder family cashed out a total of 3.2 million US dollars. This is already the largest sum of cash that the Lauder family has seen since the establishment of Estee Lauder. Moreover, because of the use of some tax avoidance methods, they were attacked by a bunch of media. , and was even targeted by the IRS and Congress. If she hadn't tried to call him quietly, she would have almost been investigated.

The next day, I received a call from him personally, saying that it was done.

The final result of the matter is nothing.

At that time, the engagement had not yet been terminated, so Irene Lauder didn't talk about it with her family, she buried it quietly in her heart, occasionally felt that she owed him a big favor, and then comforted herself, this is what a guy should do , who made him bully himself so much.

Simon was going to the east coast headquarters of Daenerys Entertainment in Greenwich, and Irene Lauder's destination was the Estee Lauder company in Midtown.

The two left the Hudson River and traveled together for a while. Simon got off at Greenwich first, and asked the driver to take Irene Lauder to Midtown.

Entering the office building that I bought a few years ago, many executives were already waiting in the conference room. Amy Pascal and Robert Iger, who had just participated in the live TV broadcast, and several executives from Metropolitan ABC also followed Come here.

In the morning, the specific schedule and related arrangements for the merger of the two parties will be discussed.

The M&A case is far from being settled.

The biggest obstacle is the antitrust review by the Federal Ministry of Justice. Even if there are no twists and turns, this matter will take at least one or two months to be resolved.

Before submitting to the Ministry of Justice for review, Daenerys also needs to conduct a more in-depth review of the details of the assets and liabilities of the Metropolitan ABC Group and the company's operating conditions. The matter was already being done before the acquisition, but before the acquisition was finalized, Metropolis Many internal materials of the ABC Group will not be open to Daenerys Entertainment.

Coupled with the need to finalize details such as personnel appointments after the merger between the two parties, in general, it is considered lucky that this merger can be completed before the opening of the autumn file in September.It will take one or two years to complete the subsequent specific mergers and integrations of the two companies, as well as structural adjustments, and the final realization of synergies.

Simon started his day's work in Greenwich Village. At 09:30 in the morning, the U.S. stock market had just opened, and the capital market responded directly to this just-public merger and acquisition case.

The stock price of Metropolitan ABC Group continued to rise throughout the trading day. At the close of trading at 145.125 o'clock in the afternoon, the company's stock price had soared from $163.25 at the close of last Friday to $12.5, a single-day increase of [-]%.

In a typical M&A case, the share price of the party that initiates the M&A often falls after the news is made public.

Daenerys Entertainment breaks this pattern.
