Inside the study.

When Simon heard the woman in his arms say this, he patted her waist with a smile, and said, "Then what do you want to do?"

Janet just grabbed Simon's wrist and bit it a few times, looked up and asked, "Little bastard, how are you going to spend this money?"

Simon pointed to a stack of stock transaction slips on his desk, and said, "Didn't you see that, you've already bought $800 million in stocks. After leaving taxes, I plan to convert all of this money into stocks."

As Americans often say the mantra: in this country, only taxes and death cannot escape.

The $1.62 billion in revenue also means a huge and distressing tax.

The $1.62 billion in Westeros' accounts, which are part of profits from stock index futures trading, is subject to a 28 percent capital gains tax, according to the tax reform plan the Lisbon government introduced last year. The remaining part of the income of "Lola Run" also cannot avoid paying taxes.

Roughly calculated, Westeros will need to pay more than $450 million in taxes by the end of the year. Subtracting Janet's "Lola Run" revenue share, Simon finally got about $1.1 billion.

Janet was obviously a little surprised when she heard Simon's decision: "All are exchanged for stocks, you don't plan to do other things?"

"Now is a good opportunity to buy the dip. If you need money in the future, you can sell it at any time," Simon said, and then asked, "What about you, do you want me to convert all your money into stocks?"

"Dad and I have mentioned it several times. The family also needs money. I'm going to throw it back to Australia," Janet said while shaking her head, then smiled and touched Simon's face, "So, little bastard. , so I have no money, and you will support me in the future."

Simon turned his head and kissed Janet's palm, and said, "Okay, we'll go to New York tomorrow, let's spend the $20 million loan first, what do we want to buy?"

Janet tilted her head and said, "House, don't you want to have your own house in every big city in the world? Let's start with New York."

"This is my business," Simon said. "What about yours?"

"Your business is my business, and my business is yours."

"Oh, I heard it, it's a love story."

"Haha, it's so sluggish."

...

"When Harry Met Sally" has been in production for six weeks and is expected to wrap up before Thanksgiving next month.

The turmoil of the North American stock market crash continues, and it is naturally unlikely to calm down in a short time. However, after completing the operation of the stock index futures market, Simon rushed to New York with Janet to check the shooting progress of "When Harry Met Sally".

At the same time, "Death Comes" produced by Daenerys Pictures was officially released on October 23. Although the financial market was full of sorrows, it did not have much impact on the film's box office.

Simon initially asked for a guaranteed screen count of 1,000, but due to good audience feedback from several internal screenings, Fox eventually gave the film 1,350 screens.

From October 23rd to October 25th, the box office of "The God of Death" in the first three days of the first weekend finally reached 12.56 million, and "Fatal Attraction", which has been the weekly box office champion from the end of September, has been successfully kicked from the first place on the list. down.

"Fatal Attraction" grossed US$11.01 million in its first week, and in its sixth week of release, the box office was still as high as US$10.98 million in a single week. In one and a half months, the box office curve has hardly fallen, and the cumulative box office has reached 69.49 million US dollars. Although the total North American box office of this film is still unpredictable, there is absolutely no suspense to break through 100 million.

Simon is very clear in his heart that the total box office of "Death Is Coming" will definitely not be comparable to "Fatal Attraction". However, with $12.56 million in the first weekend, the film is expected to earn $18 million in its first week.

$18 million is enough for Fox to recoup all production costs.

As long as it can maintain a relatively low decline in the future, the film's total North American box office can even exceed 60 million US dollars. The total North American box office of 60 million US dollars, although not able to squeeze into the top ten of the annual box office, is more than enough to enter the top 15.

According to the original contract, after the box office exceeds 20 million US dollars, 10% of the North American box office and 5% of the videotape sales will be able to bring Simon about 10 million US dollars in revenue in the future.

Although he has made a fortune of more than $1 billion in the stock index futures market, Simon does not intend to use the money in the short term. The income from the film is the main source of funds for him to run Daenerys Pictures in the next few years.

On October 26, a new week came, and Simon withdrew all the funds in the stock index futures account. All but the $450 million set aside in taxes and the $67 million settled to Janet went to the stock market.

The North American stock market is full of mourning, and more than $1 billion of funds have suddenly flowed into the technology sector. It is impossible not to be noticed. Many Wall Street analysts are clearly noticing the unusual volatility in the tech sector these days.

Moreover, after calming down from the panic of the crash, some people gradually discovered that during this period of time when everyone had lost everything, a 'little crocodile' that appeared out of nowhere had unknowingly disappeared from the stock index futures market. earned a staggering amount of wealth.

When the figure of a certain young man gradually became clear, the speed of the spread of things became more and more out of control.

Simon initially chose only one brokerage, Lehman Brothers, mainly for confidentiality. Although all the funds are put into one company, the movement will definitely be bigger, but as long as Lehman Brothers has enough integrity, it will definitely be able to keep secrets.

but.

The subsequent development of things inevitably deviates from Simon's expectations, causing him to turn to several other brokers, and finally even gave up the idea of ​​secrecy in his heart. In any case, a young man who is less than 20 years old suddenly received more than 1 billion US dollars from the capital market. It is impossible not to attract the attention of interested people.

The only thing Simon can do is to ensure that this wealth actually falls into his own hands as much as possible.

So, even though the year-end tax payment date is still more than a month away, he may still be able to make another fortune if he puts all his money in the stock market. But just in case, Simon subconsciously chose to set aside a huge $450 million in taxes.

Americans can't get rid of paying taxes all their lives, and attacking a person through taxes is usually the easiest and most effective.

October 28.

Wednesday.

All of the $1.1 billion available in Simon's account has been converted into stock, and he and Janet have been in New York for five days.

Aside from checking on all aspects of When Harry Met Sally, Simon and Janet were basically just hanging out around New York.

Although the release of "Death is Coming" once again brought Simon into the media's field of vision, "Lola Run" and "Butterfly Effect" have finally been released, and the paparazzi are becoming more and more interested in tracking Simon and Janet. Not much breaking news.

Therefore, although the whereabouts of Simon and Janet were quickly exposed by the media, there were very few paparazzi following them, and the two of them would not have much problem walking directly on the street.

at dusk.

Simon and Janet followed a real estate agent around downtown Manhattan for a whole day. They just returned to the Plaza Hotel where they were staying. They planned to take a break before going out for dinner, but they didn't expect Noah Scott to be waiting at the Plaza. in the hotel lobby.

Although somewhat unexpected, even vigilant, Simon readily agreed to Noah Scott's suggestion for a treat.

Leaving the Plaza Hotel again, the three came to a nearby restaurant.

After ordering the meal, Noah Scott looked at the man and woman sitting opposite him, and after a while, he couldn't help but ask very bluntly: "Simon, can you tell me how much money you make? "

Simon shook his head with a smile: "Noah, if it was you, would you tell me?"

"No," Noah Scott smiled helplessly, and said, "However, these days, I'm always thinking about this. I heard that you guys are in New York, and I flew from Chicago today. came here."

Simon shrugged and said, "If this matter bothers you, I can only say sorry."

Noah Scott said: "So, tell something I know, it's okay? Simon, for example, your operation in September, why?"

Simon asked back, "Why why?"

"6,000 contracts," Noah Scott said: "Why did you only buy 6,000 contracts. You know, the S\u0026P 500 index was very volatile in September, but the overall trend was still down, you are completely You can buy 80% of your position as you always do.”

When Simon heard Noah Scott's explanation, he paused before saying, "If you really want to listen to the truth, I'm scared."

Noah Scott looked disbelieving: "Afraid?"

Janet also looked over curiously.

Simon relaxed quickly and said, "Yes, I felt fear at the time."

Noah Scott looked at Simon with bright eyes, obviously misunderstanding the meaning of Simon's words, and said, "But, this month, you should earn more, right?"

"Yes, but at that time, I was scared," Simon nodded, staring directly at Noah Scott, and said, "Noah, you followed up, right?"

Noah Scott was silent this time.

Even if everyone knows about insider trading, no one is stupid enough to admit it frankly.

Simon did not wait for Noah Scott's answer, and continued: "I felt the follow-up of Lehman Brothers, and then, I thought of more possibilities. If you follow up, will the news be further? Diffusion, if others follow suit, the trend of the entire market may deviate from my expectations.”

Noah Scott nodded slightly, but waited patiently for Simon to continue.

Simon thought for a while, then continued: "Let's put it this way, Noah, the stock market crash I predicted was probably in October. You know, in October, the federal government will announce the national trade and fiscal deficit for the third quarter, which may It was the last straw that overwhelmed the camel, and it was indeed the case. Looking back, September was the delivery month. Due to the increase in trading volume, the S\u0026P 500 was fluctuating up and down. It was impossible for me to complete the layout in such a market environment. So , I was afraid at that time. However, you just misunderstood, I am not afraid of making too much, but I am worried that the whole market will change completely beyond my personal expectations because of the follow-up of all of you, even It collapsed in advance, so I will adopt a conservative strategy of opening positions, so that you can't judge my true intentions."

Noah Scott was speechless after listening to Simon.

After a moment of silence again, Noah Scott quickly picked up his mood, looked at Simon again, and said, "However, Simon, I don't know if you have been paying attention to Wall Street recently. I guess you definitely don't want to be exposed, Right? But, your case has actually caught the attention of a lot of people."

After a busy few months, Simon and Janet are just having fun these days, and they really don't pay much attention to Wall Street.

Hearing what Noah Scott said, Simon sat up a little and asked, "Can you tell me more?"

"Technology stocks," Noah Scott said with a slight smile on his face: "Simon, you bought a lot of technology stocks, right? A lot?"

Since it was directly broken, Simon did not hide it, and admitted: "That's right."

"Compared to other sectors," Noah Scott continued: "In the past week or so, technology stocks have risen by more than 15% since the day of the crash. Many people even thought that we investment banks were secretly eating. Jin, and started getting in to make a fortune. They didn’t know it, it was you. And, if I guessed right, you put in at least $1 billion.”

Simon didn't nod this time.

Noah Scott paused for a moment, did not hear Simon's confirmation, and continued: "In addition, your operation on the S\u0026P 500 index futures has also attracted a lot of attention."

Simon still didn't talk to him, but Janet couldn't bear it any longer, staring at Noah Scott fiercely, and said aggressively: "Noah, what are you trying to say?"

Noah Scott raised his hands in a gesture of surrender and said with a smile: "Jenny, don't worry, I don't mean anything else, and I'm not a lobbyist for others today. I just want to tell You and I know this. Simon, maybe you should do some preparation ahead of time. Also, I'd love to continue our partnership. If we ever get a chance to work together?"

Simon listened to Noah Scott's words, nodded, and said, "Of course, we definitely have a chance to cooperate."

When Noah Scott heard Simon's answer, the smile on his face became wider. Seeing that Janet was still staring at him, he turned and said, "Speaking of which, I also secretly bought some S\u0026P 500 last time. Index futures, guess how much I made?"

Simon shook his head suspiciously.

Noah Scott raised two fingers and shook it: "$2 million, compared to you, is a failure, right?"

Janet pouted.

Simon smiled and said nothing.

Noah Scott continued: "Just a little follow up on your operation and I made $2 million. So I figured I'd better keep in touch with you guys, so I'm just coming over from Chicago today. Simon, I've really thought about it, you're only 19 years old and you've got such a huge fortune now, it's like a kid owning a lot of gold, you definitely want to be as unnoticeable as possible, which I Just to help you."
