"In terms of the media, James on the east coast will also be watching in the near future. Then, think again, are there any other questions?"

"Problems will definitely arise. However, we have achieved this step. It will not be a big problem for the Nasdaq to last until February or even March. After that, it will not be necessary."

The two were talking, and Jennifer pulled the little Nick to appear, handed the little guy to Simon, and said, "It's ready, can we go?"

Simon picked up his son, nodded and said, "I'll take you to the airport."

Two of the Westeros family's three private Boeing 767s are parked at Westchester County Airport, less than 5 kilometers from the northern suburbs estate.

The sun is just right on a winter afternoon.

Watching the two women and their children taking off in two private jets, the Boeing 767 turned into black dots and disappeared into the blue sky, and Simon, who was guarding the runway, returned.

Counting the time, except for Simon's brief return to the West Coast, the family has been here for more than a month.

Of course not just because I like the festive atmosphere of the East Coast.

In addition to sorting out the Westeros system at the end of this year, there is another very important thing, which is to plan for the new technology bubble that is about to burst.

Simon's meeting with Joseph Schlapp just now, Janet's morning meeting in Manhattan, James Raybould's East Coast media follow-up, and so on and so forth.

From the end of the U.S. general election in early November last year to the end of December, in just two months, the short position of Nasdaq index futures and direct stock short sales aimed at the new technology bubble rapidly increased from about US$11 billion before the election to 12 million. over US$400 million.

The leader of this large-scale short-selling is Julian Robertson's Tiger Fund, and the Mellon family standing behind it.

Tiger Fund accounted for nearly half of the short position of more than 400 billion US dollars.

Although due to the continued strength of the Nasdaq, the cumulative losses of short positions have exceeded 30 billion US dollars in just two months, but the short capital of all parties has no intention of retreating at all and continues to bet.After all, as long as there is no delivery, the loss will only be a floating loss on the book. Once the operation goes smoothly and the Nasdaq collapses, it may only take a day for the huge loss on the book to turn into a profit.

As the biggest beneficiary of the prosperity of the new technology industry, the Westeros system must stand on the opposite side of the bear no matter how it is considered.

Of course, the Westeros system is not alone.

In recent years, not to mention the capital of all parties who have made huge profits from the new technology industry, even many politicians in Washington, from the White House to the Congress, have also used the prosperity of the new technology industry to grab quite a lot of political capital. Even knowing that the bursting of the new technology bubble is inevitable, the political and economic forces trying to defend the new technology industry far exceed short capital.

Therefore, this game dominated by the Westeros system, through the layout of capital, political circles, media and other levels, even if it still cannot prevent the Nasdaq from collapsing after the bubble is too serious, it wants to delay the collapse of the Nasdaq to the greatest extent. It is still easy to achieve goals such as letting as many short-sellers return as possible, and hitting the conservative old money forces in the United States.

After sending the women and children away, Simon took a helicopter to Manhattan.

In the rest of the afternoon, she had no other work arrangements, but secretly accompanied Lin Su to a pregnancy test.

This is the sixth.

After someone mentioned it, Lin Su secretly tried to conceive for several months. When she returned to North America last month, the timing was just right, so she easily conceived.

At the same time, six women were pregnant with their own children, and Simon was inevitably stressed at certain moments.Fortunately, when I think about it carefully, the most important thing I need is money for milk powder. When a child is born in the future, I don't need to be a baby daddy myself, so I feel a lot easier.

Ok.

But in the next few years, it will definitely not be easy to have children.

After all, Simon hopes that the little guys will grow up to be qualified heirs of the Westeros family in the future. If there are too many, it is inevitable that they will be overwhelmed.

Upper West Side of Manhattan.

Chen Qing and Lin Su lived in the residence of the two daughters. In the evening, Chen Qing, who had worked all day, returned and saw her boss sitting in the living room flipping through a Chinese novel. The strong woman temperament in her body was quickly swept away, and she was pitiful. Pounced over: "Boss..."

Simon casually hugged the woman's slender body, but he was unmoved, and said with a serious expression: "Remind me, you and A Su are good sisters, and the child belongs to both of you. Some thoughts must not be used on her." body, understand?"

Chen Qing originally wanted to be coquettish, but she felt the solemnity in the man's tone. Although her expression was still aggrieved, she nodded formally: "Got it, boss, A Su's child was originally from the two of us. Well, I just , want to give birth to you too?"

"I said a long time ago, at least wait until you are 30 years old."

"Alright alright."

After speaking, they changed into a more comfortable position in Simon's arms, and looked at the book in the man's hand together, but it was a volume of "Emperor Kangxi", which was actually brought back by Chen Qing in the past few days.

"Boss, how is this book?"

"I only saw the beginning, but it is very suitable as the first big project after the completion of the Ming and Qing palaces of Jinshu Studios."

Lin Su came in with a fruit plate at this moment, and seeing Chen Qinglai in Simon's arms, she was showing signs of raising her eyes to her, so she simply ignored it, just put down the fruit plate lightly, and sat quietly beside her.

Chen Qing leaned over and took the fruit plate over, and while feeding her boss, she said, "Jinshu Media recently sent a batch of film and television project materials, and I'm going to show it to the boss," she said to the boss. The waitress Lily Favel said, "Boss, China's TV drama industry has developed really well in recent years. I don't think we need to wait for Jinshu Film and Television City to be built before we can start it. There are also movies like "Have Something to Say." "Said" and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" have finished filming, and it's time to choose new projects."

With that said, Lily Favel quickly brought over a stack of materials.

Chen Qing handed the fruit plate to Christina, another waitress next to her, took the information, and said to Simon: "Last year, there was a very popular TV series in China called "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo", which told about the relationship between the famous official Liu Yong of the Qing Dynasty and the corrupt official He Shen. A story of fighting wits and courage. The actor who played Qianlong planned a new project called "Kangxi Weifu Private Interview", um... Boss, Kangxi, Qianlong, you should know all of these, right?"

Simon nodded with a smile, and was a little surprised. He didn't expect the Jinshu media team to get the famous "Private Interview of Kangxi Weifu". Compared with "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo", which only filmed one episode, this is a super long-lived and popular series drama.

On second thought, though, it's not surprising.

China's film and television industry currently has only a few people, and the circle is very small.

Chen Qing continued to introduce, and Simon also looked through a thick stack of film and television project materials from China.

In addition to "Private Interviews with Kangxi Weifu" and "Kangxi Dynasty", which I just read the original work, I soon found another project that surprised Simon, "Dragon and Babu".

"This, what's going on?"

"Boss, you read this novel at the beginning, I still remember your evaluation of this book, boss, um, a bunch of idiots, I also read this novel recently, and I find more and more that what you said, boss, makes sense .”

Chen Qing said a few words and explained: "In recent years, TVB in Hong Kong has been reshooting Jin Yong's martial arts series. This year, it happens to be planning to launch "Dragon Babu". Boss, you must know some Chinese movies. Therefore, the Jinshu team took the initiative to seek cooperation with Hong Kong and Taiwan. It can not only learn from experience and take the opportunity to cultivate its own team, but also accumulate political capital. "Dragon Babu" is such a project. Jinshu intends to join forces with TVB and CCTV. Create an annual martial arts drama co-produced by China and Hong Kong. Of course, these are just intentions, if you don’t agree, boss, I will ask them to cancel.”

Simon didn't answer immediately, but asked, "What's the name of the person in charge of Jinshu Media?"

"Wu Shanlin," Chen Qing said, noticing the expression of her boss, she immediately claimed the credit with a smile: "I recruited him, he is a fellow of mine, he graduated from Peking University, and he used to work in the radio and television system of Jiangsu Province. A very capable person."

"We can cultivate more in the future," Simon said directly: "As for these projects, we can start with "Kangxi Weifu Private Interview" and "Dragon Babu" this year, "Kangxi Dynasty" as I just said, after the Ming and Qing palaces are completed. Do it again."

As he spoke, he continued to scroll down.

Although I have seen other projects, none of them have as much influence as the three "Kangxi Weifu Private Interviews". It was not until the stack of project briefs were about to bottom out that I saw another one: "The Gate of the Mansion".

Seeing Simon's attention, Chen Qing took the initiative to explain: "This was introduced by Zhang. It tells the rise and fall of a medical family in China for a hundred years. If you are interested, boss, I have a detailed script document in my computer."

Simon just finished reading the few pages of the project brief in his hand, and said, "Add this one, and I won't read the script."

Talking and continuing to flip through, the last few projects were not very impressive, Simon skipped it directly, turned to the film project information below, and said: "In China, I haven't thought about making any money from the media, but it doesn't matter. It does not mean that the team of Jinshu Department can toss around casually. The shortcoming there is precisely commercial operation. China has no shortage of film and television talents who can produce good works, but they often cannot fully tap the commercial potential of a project. This is Jinshu It is something that needs to be pursued for many years to come. In short, if one day I find out that I am not doing well, I will cut off all support, and you should remember to tell them these words.”

Chen Qing nodded to express her memory.

Simon flipped through the film project materials in his hand, remembered something, and said, "Didn't you say Hong Kong and Taiwan, why didn't you see the cooperation project with Taiwan?"

"I haven't found a suitable one yet."

Simon thought for a while, and said casually, "Qiong Yao, you must be right to find her."
