Admitted so easily?

Simon glanced at the girl: "You, and Lin, aren't you two also raised by me as a princess, dissatisfied, and want to be a queen?"

Chen Qing stuck out her tongue, feeling very delicate.

Knowing what Chen Qing has discovered, of course Simon will not expose it by himself.

The princess is actually a disease.

If you get it, you can only take medicine all the time, and it is very expensive, and most people can't cure it.

Anyway, the batch of girls that Simon selected from Latin America and Eastern Europe were originally raised as maids, because the training standards given were too high, and now they are basically grown into princesses, the kind that is difficult to cure.

After lunch, Chen Qing wanted to sneak away, but was stopped by Simon. She drank coffee and recited "Luo Shen Fu" plus "University" plus "The Mean" by the way.

Of course, Chen Qing didn't forget this matter, she finished the recitation bitterly, and then accused Simon of being biased, but Lin Su didn't recite it.

The reason Simon gives is also strong.

Now that Chen Qing has finished memorizing, there is no reason why Lin Su, who only has one task of "Luo Shen Fu", can't complete it, so he won't waste his time, after all, his time is also very precious.

Emmanuel had already returned to San Francisco yesterday, and the three girls left at two o'clock in the afternoon and rushed to New York together.

Simon also started his afternoon work.

Today is December 12th, Friday, and another box office week begins.

However, it is now in the unpopular period between the Thanksgiving file and the Christmas file, and there are no heavyweight new films opening today.

Among the old films that have been released, the only one worth mentioning is the 11D animation film "Beauty and the Beast", which started drawing on November 17th. It will be released in the third week from December 3st to December 12th. Because the market turned cold briefly, The box office decline of "Beauty and the Beast" also began to widen, reaching 1%, and continued to earn $12 million.

In three weeks, the 3D animated film has grossed $1 million.

It is the biggest winner of the Thanksgiving schedule.

However, considering a super blockbuster in the Christmas file, the final domestic box office of "Beauty and the Beast" may not be comparable to that of "The Lion King" two years ago, and the final landing point may be around 2.5 million US dollars.Moreover, from the perspective of overseas market performance, although "Beauty and the Beast" has an equally good reputation, the market response is also not as good as "The Lion King". If the global box office breaks through 6 million US dollars, it is considered very successful.

Except for "Beauty and the Beast", other films in the Thanksgiving file have basically withdrawn from the competition for the popular schedule at the end of the year.

Now, although the Christmas file will open a week later on December 12, the public's attention is basically locked on "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice", which will be released on December 16.

Time Warner, which is in charge of the film's distribution, recently released the last trailer before the release, vaguely pointing to the "Death of Superman" event that has been speculated by movie fans since the filming started.

Prior to this, under the strict secrecy of the creative team, the plot of "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" has been clouded, because of the popular popularity of the two superheroes, whether it is DC fans or ordinary audiences, Neither thought Superman would actually die in this movie.

Therefore, when the final trailer was released, it immediately ignited heated discussions in public opinion, and the audience's expectations for the film were also raised to the highest level.

第874章 温水煮青蛙（修）

In the afternoon after Chen Qing left, Simon's work was still related to China.

Charlotte Brenita concealed some of her thoughts, and it was impossible for Chen Qing to be completely honest with Charlotte Brenita.

Returning from China this time, Chen Qing also brought back to Simon the latest batch of Cersei Capital Economics research team's research reports on major Chinese companies. This matter was arranged by Simon after his first trip to China last year. At first, only dispatched A team of 15 analysts was established. After a year of continuous deployment and local recruitment, the research team set up in Shanghai has expanded to a scale of more than 100 people.

Cersei Capital China Economic Research Institute was also formally established.

For one year, Simon has invested more than 2000 million US dollars. The team has traveled all over China and has investigated a total of more than 2000 companies from all walks of life on the other side of the ocean. The information sent back and forth is enough to fill a dozen A personal computer with a G capacity.Although Chen Qing was responsible for bringing these materials back, even Chen Qing was not qualified to view the laptop loaded with the files without Simon's permission.

Even though the Internet can penetrate the world at this stage, the manual transmission of many materials is still a tradition of the working team around Simon.

Mainly for secrecy.

Of course, this does not mean that this team is involved in illegal operations such as commercial espionage. Cersei Capital China Economic Research Institute (Shanghai) is a very formal registered enterprise. At this stage, there are no institutions and enterprises of this type in China. Not lacking, the difference still lies in the different professionalism and research goals.

At this stage, China's official economic research institutions basically focus on macroeconomic research.

Specifically, Simon was too lazy to comment.

As for the private research teams of service companies, the so-called research reports that have been pieced together from various public data and sold for thousands of dollars are even more unflattering.

If you want to invest in a local market, the first thing you need to do is to have a full understanding of this market. The larger the company, the more attention it pays to this kind of basic research.If a super chaebol like the Westeros system ignores this, the result will be even more disastrous.

China does not have a mature consulting and research industry in the West for the time being, so it can only do it by itself.

In fact, many ambitious international giants who want to expand their presence in China do the same.

Different from the castles in the sky of Chinese official institutions and the patchwork of private sectors, the team of Cersei Capital China Economic Research Institute is very professional, and has a strong purpose in focusing on the layout of the Westeros system in China.The Westeros system focuses on entertainment, fashion, technology, finance and other fields. This team has very in-depth research in China. Good and bad.

For this reason, the team actually serves as a subsidiary function of headhunting.

Simon wants to make a broad deployment in China, and what he lacks most is talents. Therefore, while studying a large number of companies in various fields, Cersei Capital China Economic Research Institute has also quietly established executive files of many companies and conducted follow-up evaluations.

In the past few years, especially in the last year, Simon's investment in China has actually far exceeded the several projects in Chen Qing's hands.

After returning from China last year, Simon asked all core companies in the Westeros system to send teams to China to conduct business. Daenerys Entertainment, Cersei Capital, Igret, Melisandre, Cisco, the United States Online, Aliya, Tinkber, Verizon Telecom, etc., as well as a larger number of subsidiaries directly or indirectly controlled by these core companies.

Even the model business giant Elite, which was just acquired a few months ago, Simon did not forget to remind Grace to start related businesses.

Initially assigned this task, Simon did not make a clear request.

However, half a year later, Simon personally reviewed the business results of the teams sent by these companies one by one. Those who did well were rewarded, those who hesitated were given warnings, and those who responded negatively directly took the knife, and hundreds of people were fired back and forth.

Overall, most core subsidiaries have established a firm foothold in China.

Some companies, such as Daenerys Entertainment, Cersei Capital, Cisco, and Melisandre, which have already started their deployment very early, are developing rapidly in China, and their related fields have occupied a considerable market share.

Just recently, the Levison Group controlled by the Westeros system also successfully acquired a plot of land on the banks of the Huangpu River in Pudong New Area, Shanghai, and began planning the first large-scale real estate project of the Westeros system in China.Among them is the close support of Cersei Capital China Economic Research Institute, including the Chinese local partners selected by Leveson Group, the voting price of the plot, the market positioning of the development project, etc.

Without the support of a series of accurate and reliable industry information, even a layman like Simon would not rashly get involved in China's real estate industry.

The water is too deep.

There are too many pits.

If you don't pay attention, you may lose everything.

The precise analysis of the development potential of Shanghai Pudong New Area in the relevant materials of Cersei Capital China Economic Research Institute made Simon, a latecomer, have to admire.Although it has been five years since China launched the development of the Shanghai Pudong New Area, there are still many people who are pessimistic about this plan. After all, most people are focusing on the Pearl River Delta at this stage, not the Yangtze River Delta.

However, Simon knows that more than ten years later, due to various reasons, the economic volume of the Yangtze River Delta has already left the Pearl River Delta far away from the Pearl River Delta, which has various advantageous conditions at this time.

The Cersei Capital China Economic Research Institute team does not have the prophetic advantage of Simon, but has made a similar judgment based on various investigation information. This alone makes Simon believe that the more than 2000 million US dollars he burned in the past year is worth the money .So Simon has decided to continue adding to the team's budget.

Because there will be no external commercial services, the research team cannot obtain direct revenue, and Simon will not allow related research results to be shared with outsiders.However, according to the information provided by the Institute, the potential benefits of investing in various fields in China will definitely far exceed the costs of this sector.

On the afternoon of the same day, Simon also sent another order to the Cersei Capital China Research Institute based on Charlotte Brenita's proposal: to investigate the general situation of China's private education industry.

The overseas student business initiated by Charlotte Brenita is still in the second place.

Simon mainly thought of the vocational training schools that started to rise in China in the 90s. The advertisements of those vocational schools in his memory were all brainwashing. Looking back at this time, he can actually get a glimpse of the huge market size of China's vocational training field.

There's absolutely no reason not to get in and get a piece of the pie.

With the background of foreign capital, the Westeros system has considerable advantages in participating in this field.

Moreover, as various subsidiaries of the Westeros system have set up product factories in China, Simon is still planning to support a group of professional foundry manufacturers in the near future. The production link is outsourced, which can optimize the asset structure of companies such as Nokia and Tinkobel.

On the other hand, Simon is also well aware of the importance of the production link. Even if Nokia and other companies let go of outsourcing, he does not intend to pretend to others. It is the most sensible choice to foster outsourcing manufacturers that are directly controlled by the Westeros system. .

This plan can be combined with investing in vocational training.

After all, after participating in vocational training, there is always a need for work. Outsourcing companies happen to have a large-scale labor demand, which is completely complementary.

After a week of work, after the weekend, the new week is already December 12th.

1995 gradually came to an end.

On Monday, December 12, a piece of SEC filing information quickly spread throughout major North American newspapers, TV networks and online media platforms.

Westeros Corporation announced that due to investment needs, it will reduce its holdings of 2000 million shares of Daenerys Entertainment Group in the near future.

On the opening day of Monday, Daenerys Entertainment’s stock price was US$97.25, with a total market value of US$2527 billion. Many analysts on Wall Street and major financial media in North America are generally optimistic that the market value of Daenerys Entertainment Group will break through 3000 within a quarter at most. The billion-dollar mark, so Daenerys Entertainment stock has been very active recently.

Unexpectedly, a major shareholder who least wanted to see it suddenly ushered in a shareholding reduction.

2000 million shares. According to the opening stock price on Monday, the total value is actually only 19.75 billion US dollars. This part of the stock is only equivalent to 25.99/[-] of the total share capital of [-] billion shares of Daenerys Entertainment. If other institutional holders reduce their holdings, as long as they operate Properly, it will not cause market fluctuations.

It happened that it was Simon Westeros who reduced his holdings this time.

So, is it because some super tycoon also realizes that the market has peaked and may turn around at any time, so he can't help but cash out?

If you can know some inside stories about the Westeros system, you will actually find that three months ago, the Cersei Fund management team under Cersei Capital, which focuses on hedging business, has reduced its long position against the US stock market to less than 50 billion US dollars scale, and generally only two to three times the ultra-low leverage.

In the past three months, the team of Cersei Fund Management Company has been banned from establishing any short position on the US stock market.

The two measures, on the one hand, are to minimize their own possible losses, and on the other hand, they are to avoid potential legal risks.

Because of the strict confidentiality of Cersei Fund Management Company, there are not many people who really know the inside story. Even if some information leaks inevitably, those who get the inside information will not be so stupid as to spread it around. Of course, they will make a fortune in silence. .

So, when the news was announced, the entire market was basically caught off guard.

The phones of Simon himself and the team around him didn't stop ringing on Monday.

The feedback from the market is even more direct.

On Monday, Daenerys Entertainment’s share price fell by 5.1% due to Westeros’ shareholding reduction announcement, and its market value evaporated by US$128 billion in a single day, which is more than six times the amount announced by Simon.

The chain reaction triggered by this is even stronger.

All the "Westeros concept stocks" fell across the board that day, and the stock prices of several leading technology stocks such as Eaglet, Cisco, and AOL all fell by more than 5%.Affected by this, the Nasdaq market also fell from a high of 2796 points to 2687 points, a drop of 3.9%.Based on the current total market capitalization of the entire Nasdaq stock market of 3.6 trillion yuan, on this day alone, the market capitalization of the Nasdaq stock market evaporated reached 1400 billion U.S. dollars.

It has been more than two months since Eaglet was listed, and the continuous strong trend of the Nasdaq market has caused many shorts to return. Most hedge funds have to turn to long positions in order to make up for their losses.

No one expected that Simon Westeros would suddenly play this trick.

Is this going to kill everyone?

However, the few short sellers who are still struggling in the market are ecstatic. When the news that Westeros Corporation announced the reduction of Daenerys Entertainment's stock was released, these people immediately mobilized all the power they could use Maximize the impact of this reduction.

The effect is remarkable.

On the other hand, that afternoon, Mr. President also called Simon and asked him what he wanted to do?

What does Simon want to do?

Very simple.

Suppress the overheating of the capital market.

And, cash out.

Although the heat of the new technology industry has reached a level that can burn people, however, in Simon's memory, the 3000 points of Nasdaq is an inflection point. After 3000 points, the market completely lost its mind and doubled in less than a year, reaching the peak of 6000 points.

Then crash.

Seeing that the Nasdaq market is getting closer and closer to 3000 points, Simon has to slightly advance the reduction plan that will start next year.

After all, you can't wait until 3000 points before making a move, as the risk will definitely increase significantly.

Therefore, the reduction in Daenerys Entertainment stock is only the beginning.

Daenerys Entertainment is listed on the New York Stock Exchange. It is reasonable to say that it will not affect the Nasdaq market. Of course, everyone is clear about the actual situation. First of all, Simon chose Daenerys Entertainment on purpose.

Daenerys Entertainment Group is the company with the highest gold content in the Westeros system at this stage. It is very stable in terms of market position, revenue volume, and profitability. Even though the market value is high, the bubble component is very small. First, reduce its holdings The company's stock theoretically causes the least volatility in the market.

Of course, only in theory.

Although Simon has made many arrangements in advance, the risks are inevitable, and even the black swan event that actually leads to the collapse of the market is not impossible.

However, there are some things that have to be done.

As long as it is successful, this operation is expected to delay the peaking time of the Nasdaq market by one to two years, so it will also give the new technology industry in the United States and the world an extra one to two years of development time.

This is actually to buy time for the Westeros system itself.

Because once the Nasdaq new technology bubble bursts, the market will inevitably enter a period of cold winter. The cold winter period in my memory is about two to three years. Technology companies, the Westeros system will undoubtedly be the one most affected.

Now, by actively suppressing the overheating of the market and gaining more time, companies such as Igret, Cisco, and AOL will have deeper roots and stronger risk resistance capabilities.

This is also Simon's explanation to Mr. President.

Of course, there are also factors for Mr. President to consider.

Simon has always been a nice guy.

If the overheating of the Nasdaq market is not suppressed at this time, and the 1996 election year is entered immediately, Nasdaq is likely to collapse suddenly in the middle of Clinton's re-election campaign. The main merit will be cleared.

Now, the Westeros system takes the initiative to suppress the Nasdaq market within a controllable range. At least next year, the results of the information superhighway plan will still exist, the US economy will not decline, and the unemployment rate will continue to decline. Mr. President's re-election is also a certainty.

Clinton obviously did not fully listen to Simon's flicker, and only asked a very sharp question: What if it fails?

In case of failure?
