Stephanie Seymour almost had the urge to roll her eyes.

When she was unmarried and had children first, she actually regretted giving birth to her first child for her husband Peter Brant at the time. For models, being able to find a rich man with a net worth of hundreds of millions to marry and have children is actually considered satisfactory. However, what Stephanie Seymour didn't expect was that her career, which was already in decline, suddenly became popular again because of the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show in recent years.

For a woman who has never been safe, marriage has become a burden at this time.

Not to mention having children.

The reason why she finally chose to get married was because she and her fiancé, who was more than 20 years older than her, had been arguing for a long time about the prenuptial agreement.

Immediately, it was too late to regret.

Even though many people know that this circle is very chaotic, after all, they have to be cautious about their public image, and they cannot marry and divorce casually, not to mention the factor of children.

So they simply kept on doing nothing. The original agreement involved the right of inheritance clause. After giving birth to the first child, Stephanie Seymour calculated the time and gave birth to the second child in the first half of the year.

In any case, you can't suffer yourself.

Quietly rubbing against the man next to her again, Stephanie Seymour didn't respond to Simon's teasing just now, but changed the subject: "Simon, since Victoria's Secret is closed, what about the spokesperson?"

"It's just that the big show is closed, but there must still be spokespersons."

"Then, can I renew my contract after it expires next year?"

The first batch of spokespersons were five, Cindy Crawford, Yasmine Gary, Tyra Banks, Helena Christensen and Stephanie Seymour, except for the highest coffee Cindy signed for three years, and the other four models all signed five-year deals.

The five-year contract expires next year.

Before Cindy's contract expired, the veteran supermodel regretted that he only signed it for three years and hoped to renew the contract, but Simon did not agree, but changed decisively.In addition, Yasmin also chose to terminate the contract in advance due to personal arrangements. In addition to expanding the spokesperson for the sub-brand PINK, Victoria’s Secret now has a total of six spokespersons, namely Tyra Banks and Helena Chris. Tensom, Stephanie Seymour, Eva Herzigova, Fernanda Lima and Curse Gauff.

Through the popularity accumulated in recent years, after Cindy Crawford quit, Stephanie Seymour should have become the well-deserved eldest sister among the six spokespersons of Victoria's Secret by virtue of her qualifications, even though many people know Fernanda Lima He and Quss Gauff are both Simon's regular lovers. After all, the two women are too young to compete with her.

Stephanie Seymour is 28 years old this year, which is already considered old for this profession, but if the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show continues and her contract is successfully renewed, she can still maintain her peak period for at least five more years.Now that Victoria's Secret is closed, and her resources are far from being comparable to those of Fernanda Lima and Quss Gauff, the result is hard to predict.

Simon deliberately turned his head and looked at the stunner around him: "We will talk about next year's affairs next year."

Sensing a certain hint in the man's gaze, Stephanie Seymour leaned over again: "Simon, can you say no now?"

Simon raised his eyebrows slightly: "Can we talk now?"

Cough!

On the other side, Irene Lauder coughed twice in time to show her presence.

Stephanie Seymour completely ignored Irene's meaning, and said softly: "Simon, you can call me anytime."

Erin poked her head and glared.

When I don't exist?

He didn't even suppress his voice, it was too shameless.

Simon was really worried that Irene would go berserk, so he stretched out his arms and hugged the girl's waist, and whispered to her. Irene felt that she was worthless, and couldn't even hold back a few nice words from this guy. He glanced down and continued to eat his lunch.

Simon turned the other way.

Stephanie Seymour understood, and leaned over. Simon also whispered a few words, and then motioned to girl A who had been eating quietly with her eyebrows lowered across the table: "Go, let A help you."

After listening to the man's whisper, Stephanie Seymour stared slightly, hesitated for a moment, then got up, and walked towards Girl A opposite.

Irene quickly looked suspicious again: "What did you say to her?"

"It's nothing."

Irene curled her lips, as if you were lying to a little girl, and watched Girl A put down the tableware, and took Stephanie Seymour to a nearby room, and didn't ask any more questions, because Cindy Crawford soon came over .

This big goblin made Irene even more afraid.

Compared with Stephanie Seymour's urgency, Cindy Crawford seems to be much more indifferent. She is two years older than Stephanie Seymour, and she is just 30 years old this year. For other models, this is the age that is about to retire. However, At Cindy's level, even if more and more resources will be seized by latecomers in the future, he will still be able to win the favor of many brands.

It's not that Cindy didn't think about going further.

Just like last year's "Fair Game", with her fame as a celebrity, it was a pretty good resource attempt, but it ended in failure, which also declared that her idea of ​​transforming into a movie star failed. Hollywood is like this, standing higher , the harder the fall, and often the harsher the woman.

In any case, since the 80s, Elite has become the first generation of supermodels, and Cindy has seen all the prosperity. She is a very smart woman. Since she can't ask for it, she should try her best to face the reality.

Currently planning to get married.

When chatting with Simon, Cindy also took the initiative to talk about her own affairs: "His name is Rand Gerber. He used to be a model. We have known each other for many years. Now he is in the bar business in Manhattan."

Simon nodded knowingly.

Very classic routine, described in later terms, this is enough, find an honest person to take over.In this regard, Cindy is actually much smarter than those supermodels chasing the rich. Later, Rand Gerber relied on Cindy's connections to meet many Hollywood stars, and the business grew bigger and bigger, and gave birth to a girl named Kaiya. Jiebo's daughter inherited his mother's business.

All in all, the whole family is a winner.

As Cindy said, seeing Simon nodded with interest, he said, "Simon, do you have any plans for the evening, maybe we can go play together?

In fact, he was quite interested, but Simon could only shake his head: "I'm going to a party tonight."

Simon's schedule, if he doesn't want to let it go on purpose, various work studios can be calculated almost by the hour or even by the minute. For a party society like the West, even in leisure time, you can basically receive all kinds of parties every day Some invitations can be ignored directly, while others still need to be present.

Cindy didn't force it either: "Then we'll talk when we have time."

Simon smiled and asked, "So, are you really planning to get married?"

"Yeah," Cindy gestured to other girls not far away, "Compared to them, I'm already an old woman, of course I need to stabilize as soon as possible."

"You are not old at all."

"uh-huh……"

"Cough cough."

"..."

With a few gags, Cindy tactfully did not occupy the seat beside Simon all the time. After chatting for a while, she walked to another place with her own plate, and soon another girl came to say hello.

After about 10 minutes like this, Girl A and Stephanie Seymour returned again. Irene Lauder, who had been quietly paying attention, first focused on Stephanie Seymour, and found, um, this woman's face is delicate and blushing , as if something had just been done.

What's happening?

So he looked at girl A again.

Girl A's expression remained calm, she just handed an opaque coffee cup with a straw to Simon's hand, and quietly went back to sit opposite Simon.

Uh-huh?

Irene was still puzzled. With the girl's small brain, she obviously couldn't understand the joints, until Simon handed over the coffee cup and let Irene taste it.

Then almost freak out.

Asshole.

By the end of the lunch, Irene Lauder was still furious. When she got into the car, she also looked like I was still angry, and if you don't coax her well, the result will be very serious.

Simon patiently coaxed her all the way, until the car crossed the Brooklyn Bridge and re-entered Manhattan, Irene reluctantly let go, but still couldn't help but scolded: "Simon, you are so ridiculous."

Simon held the girl's little hand: "I'll take you back first."

Irene was taken aback for a moment, and her expression was a little aggrieved in an instant.

Simon quickly explained: "I'm going to attend a meeting at Goldman Sachs in the afternoon. This is a bit boring. You won't want to follow?"

In fact, I still want to follow, but Irene also understands that it is not convenient for her to attend such an occasion: "Then, are you tonight?"

"It's an East Coast management party at Daenerys Entertainment tonight, I'll pick you up."

Only then did Irene nod her head in satisfaction.

Simon still held the girl's little hand: "However, Irene, you must understand that I will not have much time by your side after all."

"Ok?"

"I mean, you're actually free, understand?"

"Are you going to dump me?"

"..."

"asshole."

"Well, there is no need to always emphasize a certain fact, right?"

Irene stared at the unscrupulous man beside her: "You seduced me back then, and now you want to dump me?"

Simon shook his head helplessly and said: "I never take the initiative to get rid of a certain woman. I just said that you are all free, and I cannot give you a normal emotional life, and even marriage, which is even more impossible."

Irene suddenly thought of another thing: "Asshole, why do your other lovers have maids and guards, but I don't?"

Simon was also taken aback, and his thinking jumped a little: "Do you need it?"

"I don't need it?"

"You are the heir of the Lauder family, and there must be no shortage of servants around you."

The girl obviously entered the unreasonable mode: "So can you not give it?"

"Of course I won't refuse, it's just... well, I'll let Angorui contact you when I find time."

Erin immediately began to bargain: "Well, everyone else has two, right?"

"Ok?"

"I want four, uh...eight."

"Here, why do you need so many followers?"

"I want eight."

"There are not eight people around Jenny, so many people, in fact..."

"I don't care, I want eight."

"good."

"Eight!"

"Okay, okay, but, you have to know, it's very troublesome if there are too many people."

"This is my business, will you give it?"

"Give."

Seeing that the girl looked like I was going to run away, Simon decisively agreed.

In recent years, the cultivation of maidservants and guards of the Wei family has not stopped. Perhaps only a few of the top can enter the inner circle of the Westeros family, but even in the outer circle, they are excellent in all aspects. Simon also hopes that these women Maid guards can be a kind of help for the women around them, helping them do some of their own things.

Deep down, Simon hopes that the women around him can have some careers of their own.

For Irene Lauder, Simon has been very resigned from the very beginning. After all, she is the eldest lady of the Lauder family. She has a wealth of wealth and has never existed for him financially. As for feelings, Simon originally thought that after the novelty, she would He took the initiative to leave himself. After all, he came from a big family, so it was unlikely to become a vine entangled in him.

Unexpectedly, things seem to be a little different.

In the carriage, Irene Lauder and Simon bargained for a price and achieved their goal. They stopped talking, but leaned over and leaned over the man's shoulder, rubbing against the man's shoulder, and suddenly read another sentence: " Simon, you're such an asshole."

Chapter 983 4000 Billion (Revised)

Simon didn't ask to keep a low profile, so that afternoon, the news that the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show was about to be closed spread quickly. At first, it was naturally regarded as fake news. Then, when some well-informed people got a definite reply from everyone present in the morning, The media immediately exploded.

The first is that the major online portal platforms directly push the news to the headlines.

After all, there is no official announcement, and some press releases have deviated, thinking that the fifth Victoria's Secret Fashion Show this year, which has been rumored before, will be canceled. Even if it is clarified soon, too many people still find it unbelievable .

This is a super show that has an average viewership of tens of millions and is known as the "Super Bowl of Fashion Industry"!

Even without mentioning the high market gain that this big show has brought to the Victoria’s Secret brand in recent years, even the big show itself has sold an average of tens of millions of video tapes in the past few years, which means hundreds of millions of dollars in actual benefits .

Simon Westeros wouldn't be crazy to stop it all of a sudden?

Starting from Saturday afternoon, not only all the executives related to the Victoria’s Secret brand and even the LTD Group, but even Simon received a series of phone calls to inquire about the news. In the evening, he attended the East Coast management party of Daenerys Entertainment, Robert Iger and others It also looks suspicious if Simon has been under too much pressure recently and has mental problems.

The next day, a wider range of traditional media began to join the discussion, and the situation became more lively.

As the largest shareholder of Victoria's Secret's parent company LTD Group, Apollo Management, a subsidiary of Cersei Capital, bears the brunt.

At the beginning, the Apollo Management Company team acquired the LTD Group with US$24.5 billion in all cash. According to the usual operating methods of private equity, they basically held it for about 5 years, re-listed, and cashed out. The LTD Group merger and acquisition case was completed in 1992, and it will be exactly five years next year.

Therefore, LTD Group has actually been quietly planning to re-list.

Simon suddenly announced that Victoria's Secret will stop holding it after this year. Even the so-called suspension will inevitably have an impact on the re-listing of the LTD group next year. After all, the fashion show's drive to the LTD group is too obvious.

Facing the eager inquiry of Leon Black, the head of Apollo Management Company, Simon also patiently explained.

Suspending the Victoria’s Secret show at the right time was Simon’s idea at the beginning of the show. He didn’t want Victoria’s Secret to rely too much on the show, and he didn’t want the entire LTD group to be overwhelmed by the light of the Victoria’s Secret brand. Completely concealed, in recent years, Express, the fast fashion brand under the LTD Group, has also developed rapidly, but it has lost all the elegance set off by Victoria's Secret.
