Hollywood Hunter

For the performance of Guofeng Art Troupe, Simon has given enough support, whether it is a top-level choreography auxiliary team, custom-made luxury costumes and props, or contacting a world-class performance venue such as the Metropolitan Opera House in New York, but the show officially started. After that, the market will have the final say.

If the performance of the girls is not recognized by the audience and the attendance rate is too low, then it will end as soon as possible. Simon will never do anything out of his own pocket to give away free tickets.

In fact, Simon’s inner attitude towards Guofeng Art Troupe’s public performance is whether he likes to watch it or not, because it was originally a performance that he only intended to enjoy in private, and he felt that he would be at a disadvantage to show Simon to outsiders. Therefore, except for those around him like Joseph Schlapp who took the initiative to ask for it last time, Simon will let people give away a few tickets, and the other tickets are sold by the Metropolitan Opera House.

However, because the gossip that Guofeng Art Troupe is Simon Westero's private singing and dancing team has already spread quietly, driven by curiosity, even if Simon personally interferes, the performance price of Guofeng Art Troupe is higher than other performances. A large section, or inevitably caused a grand occasion where a ticket for the first performance was hard to come by.

As for the next step, it depends on the market feedback.

Although surrounded by a group of big goblins, Simon still didn't stay at the reception for too long. He only stayed for less than half an hour and left with the girl a who had been here in the morning.

On the other hand, Instagram's stock price trend on the first day is still eye-catching.

In this way, until 4 o'clock in the afternoon, when the North American stock market closed, instagram's final stock price on the first day was set at a high of 27.61 US dollars. Compared with the issue price of 11.50 US dollars, the first day's increase finally reached 141%, and the closing market value was also as high as 16.2 billion US dollars, compared with 60%. A valuation of around US$100 million is equivalent to a direct increase of US$10 billion in market value in a single day.

The total share capital before instagram's listing was 530 million shares, of which D-girl holds about 240 million shares.

And the six girls A, C, Indian, Little Jenny, Waist Jing, Leg Jing, who were the initial investors with D girl, each won 5% of the shares at the beginning, and in recent years, they have received stock rewards based on whether they participated in the management or not. And whether the IPO participated in the subscription before, etc., it can be said that there are more or less, but they are basically around 15 million shares.

As a result, according to the stock price of $27.61 that closed on the first day of instagram listing, the personal net worth of D girl reached $6.6 billion, which is enough to squeeze into the top 20 ranks of the 400 richest people in the United States. As for the other six girls, with about 15 million shares in their hands, their personal net worth has exceeded 400 million US dollars in a single day, which is actually equivalent to all entering the threshold of the "Forbes" 400 richest people in the United States.

This is the unparalleled wealth-making ability of the Internet.

Stimulated by the battle on the first day of instagram's listing, the Nasdaq index finally rose by 1.32% in a single day, and continued to soar to 5,739 points, which is getting closer and closer to the threshold of 6,000 points. , reaching $6.7 trillion.

Among them, Igreat, the leading company, has a single-day share price increase of 1.61% and a closing market value of 663.5 billion US dollars, continuing to outperform.

The market value of Cisco, which ranked second, exceeded $500 billion for the first time today, becoming the third giant in the U.S. stock market after Igret and Daenerys with a market value of more than $500 billion, with an increase of 2.12% on the day and the closing market value. Up to $511.3 billion.

After the U.S. election in early November, because of Clinton's re-election, the continuity of Washington's policy was ensured, which made the market temporarily positive, and then began to oscillate because Wall Street was again worried about the collapse of the Nasdaq market. , making the new technology sector activated again.

The next day is Saturday, December 7, when North American markets are closed.

The North American press was basically all about Instagram's first-day surge yesterday, but for some, the crisis was looming.

Simon took a rare rest and rushed to Manhattan in the morning.

Mainly to watch Guofeng Art Troupe's last makeup rehearsal before tonight's performance, accompanied by Celia Miller who just arrived from Washington yesterday.

Regarding the setting up of Rivni as a free trade zone, after the Sherban assassination scandal last month, the Kyiv authorities, which meant that the Westeros system must have something to ask for, did not reject the request. , on the contrary, the performance is very cooperative.

So things will be a lot easier.

Of course, the specific process still takes a few months to get it done.

The main thing is that the free trade zone is actually a two-way street. It does not mean that a country sets one of its own areas into a free trade zone, so that it can trade freely, but to sign free trade agreements with the target countries of all parties. However, compared with the wto agreement, the free trade area is always a unilateral benefit of a country, so it is much easier to handle.

"I met with Mickey Kanter yesterday, and Washington has no objection to signing this agreement with Ukraine, but Mickey has objected that we should also bring China in. China is negotiating to join the wto, Presumably, what Washington means is that they hope that after China's accession to the WTO, it will enjoy the benefits in this regard."

Inside the lobby of the Metropolitan Opera.

Simon and Celia sat in the seats below the stage with only a few spectators, and while enjoying the rehearsal performance on the stage, they asked: "Is this a mandatory requirement, or is it just an ordinary proposal?"

"It's just an ordinary proposal," Celia looked at the Oriental girl on the stage, and immediately understood roughly

The intention of his own boss said: "Then we will ignore it. In fact, Rivni has established a free trade zone. China is an important importer of raw materials. We must not be able to avoid it. At the same time, Rivni mainly targets The market is Western Europe again, so to speak this way, it is not necessary to pull the federation into experience.”

Simon nodded slightly, and was very satisfied with Celia's position. If she considered issues at the national level of the United States, rather than the interests of the first-choice Westeros system, Simon would consider taking away the other party.

Position is important.

Simon doesn't force others to his side too much, but if one is in the Westeros system, one has to call themselves 'westerosian'.

Speaking of which, as Celia said, the main market for Rivni's free trade zone is definitely Western Europe. If it hadn't brought the United States in with some very important symbolic meaning, it would have been unnecessary. On the other hand, because the light industry base in Eastern Europe is too weak, and the cost of various aspects in Western Europe is too high, China is undoubtedly the most important import target in terms of raw materials and other aspects. Southeast Asia's economy suffered a devastating blow, and then nothing.

After a few more chats, Simon asked another thing: "How much share can we get this time about strengthening the garrison in Africa?"

Personal military assistant, this is Celia's most important title.

After listening to her boss's question, Celia sorted it out a little, and quickly said: "In recent years, some other forces have quietly established mercenaries, no accident, we can only get 1,500 mercenary places this time, and then Add in other orders, and the annual contract value in Africa is about $100 million."

Simon nodded, but still had to sigh with emotion about the embarrassment of the U.S. military.

Compared with the US defense budget of nearly 250 billion US dollars in 1996, 100 million US dollars is certainly not much. However, things are afraid of comparison. Only Ukraine, the current annual defense budget is equivalent to less than 1 billion US dollars, but it has to support more than 20 years. Thousands of troops. The 1,500 people in the Westeros system can get 100 million US dollars. Of course, there are other orders that are not humane, but it is enough to show that the US military is spending like water.

Of course, on the other hand, it also means that Simon's layout in the US military has paid off.

After all, Simon never thought of making money through the private military, let alone the ugly Bush administration in his memory. Therefore, it is only said that the annual $100 million in Africa, in addition to mercenary salaries and other costs, also A large part of it has to be paid to various consultants of the private army of Weijia who are responsible for making bridges, but in any case, being able to get orders from the US military is itself a symbol of strength.

Otherwise, no one is qualified to cooperate with the US military.

The benefits of this layout are obvious.

The closer the relationship between the Uyghur private army and the U.S. military, and the closer the network of interests, the less likely it will be detected by the outside world. Just like the cooperation agreement reached with cia earlier, these will involve state secrets. What trouble will you encounter in the future, a word of state secrets, just like the national security of the United States that has almost become a stalk later, is absolutely a panacea.

Moreover, even if someone wants to investigate, the Weijia private army will not have any illegal operations, or that sentence, Simon never thought about making money from it, and even kept putting money in, how could it be illegal. As for some people who really get a lot of benefits from it, go check it out if you have the guts.

Anyway, in the decades of his previous life, Simon has never seen any US military scandals that have been investigated in depth. Basically, major matters have been reduced to small matters.

The two chatted, and a group dance on the stage ended.

Between the beginning of the next dance, a girl turned from the backstage and boldly came to Simon, but it was Chen Xingwei.

The girl came to Simon and asked nervously, "Simon, how did I dance?"

"Great," Simon said, patting his thigh: "Come, sit here."

Chen Xingwei glanced at Celia, but didn't refuse, he stepped forward and sat on Simon's lap, feeling a big hand wrapping around his waist, and he obediently pressed it, and said, "I'm so nervous, tonight, I'm really worried about messing up."

"What's there to worry about," Simon smiled and looked at the stage, "As long as you play your normal level."

Chen Xingwei couldn't help but said, "This is the Metropolitan Opera House. What if the audience doesn't like it?"

Simon smiled and kissed the girl's neck, and said, "They don't like it, that is, they have no eyes, as long as I like it."

The man's kiss was very light, but Chen Xingwei still felt a little hot in his body, so he dared to take the initiative to return a kiss, and then said again: "By the way, Simon, now... it's the end of the year in China, me, we are in China Can I go back to China during the New Year?"

"Of course, by the way, when is New Year's Eve this year?"

"February 6th."

"Then there is no problem. You have a total of 9 performances, and it will end at the end of January at the latest. If the audience doesn't like it, you can close the booth after five or six performances. You can definitely go back in the new year."

When Chen Xingwei heard what Simon said, he felt a little more present.

The word 'closing the stall' used by men is really not very lucky. Even if Simon has said it more than once, it's okay to screw it up, but no one in the Guofeng Art Troupe feels that way in the past six months. After all, life now, all girls feel like heaven, even if a few feel that Peace of mind, but most people still hold a certain idea in their hearts.

Without giving, there is no reward.

Therefore, girls are basically looking forward to a man's "picking", taking it for granted.

As for the show, the same is true.

Thinking of this, Chen Xingwei couldn't help but envy Li Youhu, who was still filming "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" in China. That girl is really lucky. As soon as she entered this circle, she immediately went out of the circle. Be a big star. And they, even if they are absolutely satisfied with their current life, sometimes inevitably think about what they will do in the future.

After all, this man by his side will definitely not be able to support them for a lifetime. Maybe when he loses interest in them, or even just tired of it, if they want to get a new batch of girls, they can only withdraw from his sight.

And, to lose everything now.

This is also as it should be. The current life is too good, and it is not proportional to their efforts. How can it be long?

Simon didn't know the mind of the woman in his arms, so he didn't discuss too sensitive issues with Celia, and began to pay more attention to watching the performance on the stage. Later, he found that Chen Xingwei successfully sat on Simon's lap, of course he was not reconciled to her. Wei, who can win more favors from a certain man, also walked over to several girls who were eaten by Simon last time. Even if the man's arms were occupied, he still sat in front of and around Simon.

Wei Cancha successfully grabbed a position on Simon's left, gropingly wrapped around the man's arm and hugged him, talking about another matter: "Simon, Cai Fan, um, she can't use this name now, anyway, her business ,do you know?"

Simon nodded.

The girl who left Guofeng Art Troupe after falling in love last time.

In fact, Simon didn't care much about this. The girls around him must all think that the girl was 'driven' out. In fact, it was only after the other party fell in love that he was no longer suitable for this circle, that's all.

Wei Sanchai carefully looked at Simon's expression, only wearing a close-fitting dance suit to facilitate the change of clothes, leaning a little closer to the man, and then said: "She, she was dumped by that boyfriend, and that guy , is also polarized, um, mining savings."

Simon just hummed, raised the arm that was snatched by the girl, pinched her delicate little chin, and said softly, "Don't talk about that."
