If it wasn't for an appointment, I wouldn't leave work on time today, and I would definitely have to arrange some more work.

The matter is still about Simon's upcoming trip to China.

Everything is well prepared on the Westeros system, but something went wrong on the Washington side.Just at the beginning of this month, on April 4, Secretary of Commerce Ron Brown, who led a US trade and investment delegation to visit the Balkans, and his party suffered an air crash in Croatia, killing all 3 people on board.

I don't want to talk about the behind-the-scenes and conspiracy legends of this air crash. Anyway, Clinton's eight years in office can be described as a lot of strange things.And just last Friday, April 4, Mr. President signed the appointment of the new Secretary of Commerce, Mickey Kanter, with great efficiency.

This is Mr. President's confidant. He served as the chairman of Clinton's campaign team during the 1992 general election. He was appointed as the U.S. trade representative after Clinton took office. affairs.

Simon has read the other party's profile.

The evaluation is average.

Mickey Kanter, who was a lawyer, is a good player in politics, but not satisfactory in economics. The typical example is the US-Japan auto trade negotiations hosted by Mickey Kanter.

The two major U.S. trade negotiations in the past 20 years were all aimed at Japan. The previous one was the U.S.-Japan semiconductor trade negotiation. Although the U.S. did not take advantage of the relocation of the domestic semiconductor industry in the end, it severely damaged the Japanese semiconductor industry and indirectly caused The Rise of the Korean Semiconductor Industry.

Then there was last year's US-Japan auto trade negotiations.

This time, although the two sides reached an agreement at the last moment, the United States actually failed.Japan retained its own auto industry, which remained strong many years later, while the U.S. domestic auto industry continued to decline.This negotiation may be due to the fact that the Japanese have learned the lessons of the semiconductor industry and resolutely did not back down. The US delegation's negotiating strategy error is also an important reason.

It was Mickey Kanter who was in charge of this negotiation.

Simon is delighted to hear this.

When dealing with the government, Simon likes mediocre people. Although people who can climb to the core of national power are not too simple-minded, it is better to be relatively mediocre than too shrewd.

The three of them chatted and entered the elevator with a few followers.

This is the tenth floor of the building. When the elevator descends to the eighth floor, it opens again. A group of well-dressed women with delicate makeup appear in front of everyone. Only Cathy Hilton and Kris Jenner are among them. This is obviously "The Housewives of New York" "The leading role.The women were chatting with each other, until they saw Simon appearing in the elevator, they all stopped talking at the same time and looked over together.

It was too late to say hello, and Kris Jenner was the first to react. In addition to Simon, Iger, and Bezos, there were five other people in the elevator, including Girl A. It seemed that there were at most two more people.Kris Jenner snatched a seat, and Cathy Hilton, who was closest to the elevator door, blinked a little, but still snatched in.

Turning around directly next to a certain man, Kris Jenner said to the people outside the elevator: "It's a pity, everyone, wait for the next trip."

Then he stretched out his hand and pressed the elevator door.

As the elevator began to go down again, it didn't matter what the few who had just been pulled down thought, Kris Jenner turned around, looked at Simon and said hello: "Mr. Westeros, I'm so glad to see you again."

Simon also showed a smile: "Yeah, are you today?"

Kris Jenner said: "This season of "The Housewives of New York" is coming to an end, we are here to record an interview."

"Oh, I saw the ratings report, great season."

"Thank you."

Seeing Kris Jenner chatting enthusiastically with Simon, Cathy Hilton, who has been fighting with each other since joining "The Real Housewives of New York", quickly got rid of the little hesitation just now, and took the initiative to grab the conversation: "Simon, listen Say you are going to visit China soon?"

"Oh, even you know?"

Regarding this matter, Simon actually wanted to keep a low profile as much as possible, but he failed to keep a low profile after all.

Kris Jenner immediately grabbed the conversation again: "I heard that China is great, and I will go to see it if I have the opportunity, Simon, where do you think I should go first if I go to China?"

Simon felt that the scent of the woman in front of him was obviously mixed with some other meanings. He subconsciously glanced at the other person's chest and said casually: "Actually, I don't know much, but the Great Wall must not be missed."

Kris Jenner noticed the man's gaze, and her smile became more charming. Just as she was about to continue, the elevator door opened.

This is the basement level.

Robert Iger and Jeff Bezos are a few very interesting automatic flashers. In addition to Girl A, Simon has two other personal bodyguards, as well as Kris Jenner and Cathy Hilton who naturally follow.

Looking at the two women around him who didn't know if they were real or pretending to be hesitant, Simon took the initiative to ask, "Are you driving?"

Kris Jenner didn't hesitate: "No, the parking space here is very tight, we came by taxi, Simon, can I get a ride?"

"Of course." As he walked towards the two identical black Mercedes-Benz, the bodyguard had already opened the door of one of the cars, and Simon signaled to the two women: "You can take that one, and the driver will take you home."

Simon, who pays attention to safety issues, now has at least a group of four bodyguards, so he travels in at least two cars.

But Kris Jenner followed: "Simon, can I take a ride with you, and talk by the way?"

"We may not be on the way."

"It's definitely on the way."

Saying so, seeing Simon get into the car, she didn't object, Kris Jenner glanced at Cathy Hilton, and followed the door on the other side opened by the bodyguard.

Cathy Hilton, who had been on tenterhooks for a long time after that time, had already planned to take another car, but when Kris Jenner glanced at her for the last time, she was stimulated and simply followed.Kris Jenner in the carriage saw her coming, and proudly patted the middle armrest of the back seat of the limousine: "If you want to come up, you can only take the co-pilot."

Just as he was talking, girl A had already boarded the co-pilot.

Kris Jenner was even more proud and raised her eyebrows at her, but soon heard the man next to her say: "You two are women, it's okay to squeeze."

Cathy Hilton, who is capable of marrying into a rich family, is just as good as Kris Jenner. Just because of some scruples, she has been unable to make up her mind. At this time, after hearing what the man said, she was caught by Kris Jenner again. Jenna provoked a stomachache and squeezed in directly.

When the car started, Simon glanced at the two women crowded together beside him, closed the back seat and the front baffle, and said to them: "I have an appointment for dinner at six o'clock, it is more important, you are not suitable Together, but you can dine at another place over there later, it's a club."

The two women who were close together looked at each other, and it was Kris Jenner who spoke first, and gave the man a sneaky look: "Simon, I'm not in a hurry to go back after dinner."

Simon smiled and looked at this mature woman who was just in her early forties this year and still maintained fair skin and did not go astray in tanning: "By the way, you gave birth last year?"

"A girl," Kris Jenner said, "actually I... but Bruce wants kids."

Simon's eyes subconsciously flicked to a certain part of the woman: "What's your name?"

"Kendall," Kris Jenner said, "This is Bruce's name. It means 'Valley of Light'. It's a bit uncommon. In fact, I think it's good to be called Kelly or something. However, he is a child after all. father."

"Actually, it's not bad. I prefer distinctive names."

Simon said so with a somewhat strange expression.

Kendall Jenner.

After I appeared, many things have changed, and, with the probability of certain things, except for a name, this Kendou is definitely no longer that Kendou. After the summer of 1986, it was probably like this.But think about it again, unlike Robert Kardashian, the father of the three Kardashian sisters, who is mediocre to somewhat ugly, Kris Jenner, who was born as a flight attendant, and Bruce Jenner, who has the background of an Olympic champion, spell out the child's face. The value is definitely not bad.

In "Keeping Up with the Kardashians", it can be seen that Kendou and Kylie are top-notch beauties after hours. Kendou was the only one the Kardashians could see later. As for Kylie, she was alive I have become the style of the second sister Jin.

Kris Jenner actually noticed some strangeness in Simon's expression, but she didn't delve into it. Instead, she had another thought after hearing the man's words: "Simon, I heard that Don Johnson and Melanie Gerry That daughter of Reeves, Dakota Johnson, was named after you, and you, uh, everybody said, you were that girl's godfather?"

When Chris mentioned it, Simon thought of this little gossip widely circulated in Hollywood.

Just like Spielberg used to have a lot of goddaughters, because he named a certain little guy and attended the christening ceremony of the other party, it gradually spread that Simon is the godfather of Dakota Johnson.Think about it, the little girl is already 7 years old this year, and she has never seen her a few times before and after.However, Simon didn't bother to clarify.

Mainly...well, someone actually kind of likes being a dad.

Seeing Simon, Kris Jenner just smiled, without any objection, and leaned a little towards this side: "Simon, you should be on the east coast recently, maybe, how about tomorrow, I plan to hold a party at home, you Are you interested? By the way, you can take a look at Kendou, a very cute little guy."

Simon just shook his head this time: "I'm going back to the West Coast tomorrow morning."

Kris Jenner thought it was an excuse: "If I remember correctly, Melisandre is listed on the 19th, so you should participate?"

"Yes, but come over when the time comes."

I've been really busy recently, Simon will fly to San Francisco tomorrow, then return to Los Angeles, and come back to New York on Friday to attend Melisandre's premiere.Then, I will depart for China on Saturday and arrive on Sunday local time. I will not be able to rest until after the schedule on Monday and Tuesday next week.

In fact, many people in the elite class are in this trapeze state of running around for more than half a year, and Simon is not bad.

Of course, I also thought about not running around like this, but, some things can’t be done just by thinking about it. The Westeros system is too big now. , is likely to cause a domino effect due to some unexpected emergencies.

The collapse of many large companies is due to the slackness of the leaders.

Of course, the situation will not be like this forever. The main reason is that the Westeros system is too conspicuous now, and the industrial layout is still relatively concentrated. Big bomb that could go off.However, as long as the integration strategy of the Westeros system and the U.S. economy is implemented smoothly, the deeper this matter progresses, the more Simon can be freed from complicated affairs.

At that time, the risk of the Westeros system is the risk of the United States.The U.S. dollar kidnaps the whole world, which in turn is the risk of the whole world.In order to avoid risks affecting themselves, countless people will actively or passively safeguard the interests of the Westeros system.

Kris Jenner didn't have much expectations for inviting Simon, she gave up after a little persistence, and said instead: "By the way, Simon, the iRec 10 recently released by Tinkerbell, and YouTube's For the event, I also took some videos and uploaded them, and the number of hits is not bad, can this aspect really be further developed?"

The iRec 10 digital video camera went on sale on April 4th, and it's only been 5 days until now.

However, within 10 days, including the 200 million units that were sold out on the first day of sale and the overtime replenishment of Tinkber’s supply chain, the current global sales have exceeded 250 million units.

Because this is a piece of Internet hardware peripherals, coupled with the cooperation between Tinkber and Eaglet, it is equivalent to adding millions of video creators at once. Even if ordinary users have capacity restrictions on the YouTube platform, after all, they can Empty and delete, at worst, you can register a few more numbers, so the content increase these days has suddenly ushered in a blowout, including a substantial increase in users who do not create videos but simply browse the website.

Many people saw business opportunities as a result.

On Elite's side, under the guidance of Simon, Grace has started the Internet celebrity training program through its new media operation department that has been established for more than a year.

Unlike the Instagram platform, which can only be monetized through marketing cooperation, YouTube can directly obtain advertising revenue. Of course, marketing cooperation is also the big head. Now that it enters the market decisively, it can seize more resources before many others have reacted.

In the original time and space, it was not until the era of the mobile Internet that the Internet celebrity economy began to flourish. Before that, there was no shortage of Internet celebrities, but it was usually difficult to realize them.

In the final analysis, there is still a lack of a mature business model.

Now, Simon directly helped Grace open up her mind, how to cultivate internet celebrities, how to monetize traffic, how to bring goods, including the operation methods of different channels such as social platforms and video platforms, in the future, maybe only relying on the YouTube platform, Elite will be able to cultivate A series of big coffee and Internet celebrities with an annual income of tens of millions.

At present, the income of the top models is actually at this level.

This can also be regarded as a good direction for Elite to diversify from a pure model agency. After all, actors and sports have been cultivated for too long, and the blue ocean market of the Internet is definitely more suitable for staking.

Moreover, as long as Elite is successful, there will definitely be a large number of followers in the future.

These content creators can benefit from the Internet, while also feeding the entire Internet ecosystem.

inside the carriage.

When Simon saw Kris Jenner ask, thinking about the ubiquity of the Kardashian family, this is actually the content, so he didn't mind playing a few words on demand: "Of course, this is a better opportunity. Different Due to the regional limitations of the TV industry, the Internet is global. At present, the number of global Internet users has reached 5 million, which is almost twice the total population of the United States, and it is also the upper middle class with the strongest spending power. Take a look at Eaglet market value, you should understand how broad business opportunities exist in this field.”

When Kris Jenner heard what Simon said, her eyes lit up quickly, and even Kathy Hilton, who was squeezed on the edge, couldn't help but prick her ears.

"But, Simon, I don't know what to do, can you tell me?"

"If you go back and study YouTube's channel classification carefully, it is actually very clear. Different channels such as fashion, food, fitness, travel, etc., just hold on to one point, patiently delve into user needs, and carefully produce the content they want to watch. Accumulated subscriptions have reached millions, and the income is definitely a lot more than you are participating in reality shows now."

Cathy Hilton finally chimed in: "Simon, what do you think we're good for?"

"It's very simple. It's still a reality show. You must be quite familiar with it now. Of course, this will definitely conflict with the show you are participating in now, but in fact, you only need to work around it," Simon said, pointing to Kay Qian Hilton: "For example, if you opened a decoration design studio, then make a reality show around this theme. This should belong to the home channel. You need to think about the specific production ideas. The key is not to be rigid and professional , the audience won't like it."

Cathy Hilton has figured it out.

Kris Jenner couldn't wait to ask: "Simon, what about me?"

Simon took a look at the woman, and couldn't help but have some evil thoughts: "You have 4 daughters now?"

"Uh-huh."

"Then try to make a reality show around your daughters. In addition, because it is an online platform, the degree of freedom is very high, and the cost is very low. You can shoot with a camera at home, and you can spend money to hire a professional video at most. In the later period, the video of each issue does not need to be too long, if it is too long, no one will actually watch it, about 10 minutes is fine.”

Kris Jenner continued to ask: "Simon, I still don't understand, how to do it?"

Simon Zhangkou came right away: "Get a camera and pull your daughter out: Hi, everyone, I'm Kim Kardashian, my puppy has a baby, let's take everyone to see it."

"..."

"..."

The two women next to each other have black question marks on their heads.

What the hell is this?

Simon said again: "Okay, change it, get a camera, and pull your daughter out: Hi, everyone, I am Paris Hilton, and in this video I will share with you a delicious, charcoal-grilled chicken wing."

"..."

"..."

Alas, so unteachable also.

It's a pity that such a good idea was wasted. Simon ignored the two stupid women, took out his mobile phone and dialed the number, and after a while, it was connected. Grace's voice was obviously lowered and filled with joy: "Simon, why did you think of calling me?" ?”

"I suddenly had an inspiration, come, I will teach you."

And so on and on.

Grace obviously explained too much more than the two women next to her, and she agreed with a smile, saying that she would find someone to try it as soon as possible, and send it to Simon for a first look after making a demo.

Although they didn't know who Simon was talking to, but looking at the seriousness of the man next to him, Kris Jenner and Cathy Hilton secretly paid attention to it.

After all, it was Simon Westeros' suggestion.

Even if it sounds unreliable, what if?

What's more, as the man said, the cost is very low, even if it fails, it's nothing.

It just so happens that this season of "The Beautiful Wife of New York" is coming to an end, and the next is the summer break.A few months, enough toss, both of them are smart enough women who are not lacking in ambition, and they are not lacking in daughters. Pull out one or two, and try without losing a piece of meat.

Chapter 915

The destination is in a 63-story red brick building at the intersection of 37rd Street and Second Avenue on the Upper East Side.

The two plans of 'Solvay' and 'Troy' were finalized two months ago. Sophia was in charge of building a network of personal contacts in private clubs, and the first one was finalized very quickly, because someone happened to transfer this failed business club. Take over.

The name is very low-key.
