Grace's sudden slap in the face made Laura Graff feel a little confused. After years of being a respectable girl, she couldn't remember when someone tried to do it herself last time. Even in the previous conflict in the restaurant, just as it happened, two diners who happened to enter the restaurant separated her from two little gangsters. She didn't suffer any loss at all.
Feeling the little stars floating in front of her, Laura Graff forgot to fight back for a moment, but still looked at Grace with hatred and said, "you hit me, I I'm going to sue you. I'm going to break my contract with elite. "
Grace slapped her face and regretted it.
However, hearing the threat from the woman in front of her, grace didn't intend to endure any more. She got out of the car, went to the other side, opened the door, grabbed Laura Graff's hair, pulled her out of the co pilot's seat, threw her on the curb, got back on the car and went away.
Back to the company, because there was no helicopter to pick up this time, and she was worried about the traffic jam during the off-duty time, grace worked until 4:30 p.m. and left work in advance to rush to Greenwich.
The appointed time is six o'clock in the afternoon.
Grace arrived half an hour early, didn't arrive too early. She spent 20 minutes in a cafe in downtown Greenwich before she started again. When I came to the gate of the last manor, I was stopped by the security guard and was allowed to enter after a long time.
Simon has not yet returned. She is welcomed by an Indian girl named aliya.
She was still taken to the living room of the last time, and Zoe was there. Moreover, after entering the villa, she found that a party was being prepared here. A group of beautiful girls with obvious development potential in the fashion circle were shuttling around the villa, and even made grace have some inexplicable inferiority complex.
Simon didn't return until half past six, and his wife, Janet westero.
Suddenly, I felt guilty again.
However, until more than ten minutes later, Simon walked into the living room and Janet westero didn't show up.
In the living room, Simon sat down on the sofa and looked at her with a smile. "Did you beat Laura at noon?"
I didn't expect that the man would suddenly mention this, and I didn't expect that he could know so soon.
Grace didn't know how to explain for a moment.
It's just that, well, the man doesn't seem to be very angry, which makes her relax a lot.
See grace did not answer, Simon did not ask, and said: "a said you have something to talk to me, right?"
There was a buzz in my head. Fortunately, I didn't forget the excuse I had thought before: "Simon, I just want to ask what to do next. About the three of them, I'm sorry about the lunch, but I really can't manage it."
Simon shook his head slightly and said, "you did a good job at noon. By the way, the house they live in is rented by you. According to your idea some time ago, since you can't stand it, just drive them to live in the basement tomorrow. "
Grace sniffed the words and looked at the man strangely.
Simmons shrugged her shoulders and said, "I've been given the three of them every day, just for fun." So Simon thought, summoned Zoe, said a few words, baby face girl quickly took a book over.
Grace pretended to look at it inadvertently. From the picture, it should be some real estate information.
Simon picks for a moment, stops on one of the pages, makes a circle with his fingers, and hands it to Zoe again. But he says to grace, "tomorrow someone will give you a set of keys to your house. If you do well, let them move in. If you don't obey, drive them out. You can handle them by yourself. You don't need to be too careful to affect your work."
Grace nodded.
Although I don't know what the real estate given by men looks like, the property I want to buy in Westeros is no worse than ordinary, at least more luxurious than the one they live in now.
Take it to the mother and daughter. It's really It's a waste.
With this in mind, grace was just about to continue to speak when girl a came in and whispered something in the man's ear. Grace only heard one word, hurst.
Simon just nodded to grace and said, "that's it. By the way, there's a party. If you don't have any other plans, you can stay in the evening."
Grace promised her son and his family to go to the cinema at breakfast. Before she could turn down Simon's invitation, the man got up and walked out.
Seeing the man leave, grace looks at the baby faced girl who hasn't been waiting for her all the time and asks, "Zoe, what's the party today?"
"A party in the Wall Street financial circle, you know, Denise entertainment is going to go public next week," Zoe explained, adding, "Ms. spotter, the boss is just polite. If you have other arrangements, it doesn't matter to leave early."
A gathering of Wall Street financial circle!
Grace thought of her husband's recent difficulties.
IfAfter hesitating, grace asked carefully, "Zoe, can I invite someone else?" Before Zoe could doubt it, grace added, "it's my husband, who happens to work on Wall Street, First Boston."
Zoe looked at her, always let people can't help but want to pinch the baby face suddenly a little more cunning: "the guest list is a responsible for the preparation, Ms. spotter, if you really want to, you can discuss with a, but I think she will agree."
Think of a few contacts in a girl's own cold attitude, and then look at Zoe's face at this time of cunning expression, grace quickly understand what.
The man had no interest in himself, at least, not to go to bed.
So grace didn't expect anything at all.
For so many years, even if she had been indifferent, she still had feelings for her husband. Now that she had the opportunity, it was natural for her to face her family.
Man is a very complicated creature.
Sometimes, even if the body and mind are all derailed, it doesn't mean that they don't care about others.
Seeing that grace had no objection, Zoe winked at her: "well, come with me."
Two people leave the living room, Zoe and the girl asked a few words, quickly find the kitchen is directing the cook to prepare party dishes a girl.
Grace said her request, and girl a agreed.
With permission, grace, for the time being, ignored everything else. She called her husband and told him to put everything down and come to Greenwich as soon as possible. As for taking the children to the cinema in the evening, of course, it doesn't matter.
Summer days are long, so the party is scheduled to start at eight o'clock.
For an hour before the party, Simon was in the villa study discussing the final details of the settlement with Randolph hurst, the current speaker of the Hurst family, and their lawyers.
After Simon stirred up the last attempt to sell assets to ease the family business crisis, the Hurst family realized that if they wanted to cross this barrier, they could not get around the westrow system in any case. They continued to delay for some time, and all possible methods had been exhausted. Finally, they decided to compromise and fully agree to Simon's request.
Several discussions have been held in advance. This time, the two sides just confirmed some details.
Or.
More precisely, it's some of the details that the hursts care about.
In the final agreement, the Hurst family sold 20% of the shares of ESPN television network held by the Hurst group to Westeros at a price of US $1, and at the same time fully paid the total compensation of US $370 million in the six lawsuits, in exchange for Westeros no longer targeting the Hurst family in the future.
After the formal signing of the agreement, the Hurst family can publish information on the family media in order to convey certain information to the media and the public.
On the other hand, the Hurst family also guarantees that in the future, all the media under the Hurst group will not appear any news that denigrates the Westeros system, and the Hurst family will not support politicians to promote any government bill that may target the Westeros system.
The basic core is that the well water of both sides will not violate the river water in the future.
However, the settlement agreement limits the Hurst family far more than the responsibility of the westrow system.
When night falls, Simon and Randolph Hurst sign their own names on several contracts respectively. The disputes between the westrow system and the Hurst family, whether overt or covert, last for several months, at least superficially.
Both parties leave the study together, and the party has begun.
Randolph Hurst has no intention to appear in front of people. Even if it can bring some benefits to the Hurst family, he still leaves quietly from the side door of the villa.
When Hurst left, Simon said to James Leibold, who had just attended the meeting: "Jim, you have a private message sent to ABC, asking them to buy the shares of AE TV network of Hurst family."
AE TV network is another basic cable network based on fashion, life and popular science, which is jointly operated by the Hurst family and metropolitan ABC Group. The two sides hold 50% of the shares respectively, and their TV stations include lifetime, history channel and so on.
After the settlement, the hursts still need to sell their assets in order to pay $370 million in compensation for the six lawsuits.
Long term use of paper media as the fundamental thinking set will largely lead to the priority of Hurst group in selling its "non core assets". If ABC takes more initiative, it will be easy to recover all the shares of AE TV network.
Westero takes 20% of ESPN, and then ABC buys back the equity of AE TV network. The Hurst family's distribution in the TV field is very limited, and the rest is basically newspaper assets.
With months of conflict and a series of negative news during this period, a large number of print media owned by the Hurst family have actually lost their vitality. In the future, with the rapid decline of print media, there will not be too many that can survive. At that time, the end of the Hurst family can be imagined.James nodded and understood Simon's intention.
As they walked down the hall together, James quickly said something else: "Simon, since Jennie is no longer working now, maybe you can have more children."
As for the relationship between their daughter and Simon, the rebolds have long acquiesced, especially when they have children. Some time ago, the news was completely publicized, and the rebolds never considered other things.
However, parents always think more about their children.
Jennifer and Simon have only one daughter, which is a bit out of place for the rabolds.
Both the East and the West are more or less patriarchal in nature, and they generally prefer boys' inheritance rights. Take the family of Hurst just now. After Hurst's death, most of the assets of William Hurst's six children were left to his sons. Compared with his brothers, the youngest daughter's share of assets is almost equal to Clean the body out of the house.
Simon is always a little embarrassed when he mentions this kind of thing: "Jim, it depends on what Jennie means. I have no problem."
James naturally said, "Jennie must want more children. She likes children very much."
Simon nodded, "OK, I'll talk to Jennie sometime."
James was very satisfied with Simon's attitude. He raised his hand with a smile and patted him on the shoulder.
Simon is helpless.
Why do you seem to have such a "bad" habit?
He quickly changed the topic and asked about his assistant brother, Philip Leibold. His daughter had been cheaper than others, and James paid more attention to his son. Philip Leibold finished his undergraduate course in economics at Yale last year and went directly to law school to pursue a three-year doctor of law according to James' arrangement.
James is really interested in this topic, and he is more pleased that Simon can mention Philip voluntarily.
While walking, they chatted and came to the villa hall, where the shadows were already gathering.
Although it was a gathering in the financial circle, some senior executives of westrow system in New York were also invited. James saw the figure of his old friend Robert egger, said hello to Simon and walked over.
Simon also smiles at George Soros, who is here tonight.
This year is 1994. In history, after the war of sniping pound became famous in 1992, Soros's Second World War pointed to Mexico.
Simon remembers that the Mexican currency crisis broke out around the end of October.
For Mexico, Simon has no European or Asian scruples.
Although the vistro system will not join the fun in public, it may as well make some arrangements in private, of which 200 million dollars went to Soros' Quantum Fund.
What's more, Soros is only a hedge fund tycoon in most people's minds, which is not the case. Several funds under his name are also involved in stocks, bonds, venture capital and other businesses. This time, Soros also subscribed for 2 million shares of Denise entertainment group.
Simon and Soros talked about Mexican currency for a while. They just finished their conversation when grace spotter, who had changed into a long black dress, came over with a slightly thin middle-aged man in her arm.
"Simon, this is my husband, bill. He works in First Boston," grace said
Simon noticed a twinkle of guilt in the woman's eyes as she spoke to him. He just laughed, reached out and shook hands with the middle-aged man who was obviously restrained in front of him: "Hello, bill."
"Nice to meet you, Mr. westlow."
"Just call me Simon."
"Oh, sure, Simon."
Bill spatter took Simon's hand and said it with a touch of flattery, until he noticed that he was pulling his arm back slightly.
Suddenly, his wife called him to Greenwich, which belongs to Simon westrow's mansion. Looking at a group of Wall Street tycoons that he can only look up to on weekdays, Bill spotter is still falling into the clouds. He doesn't know whether he is dreaming or not. He has secretly pinched himself several times.

Grace's sudden slap in the face made Laura Graff feel a little confused. After years of being a respectable girl, she couldn't remember when someone tried to do it herself last time.

Two people leave the living room, Zoe and the girl asked a few words, quickly find the kitchen is directing the cook to prepare party dishes a girl. Grace said her request, and girl a agreed. With permission, grace, for the time being, ignored everything else. She called her husband and told him to put everything down and come to Greenwich as soon as possible. As for taking the children to the cinema in the evening, of course, it doesn't matter. Summer days are long, so the party is scheduled to start at eight o'clock. For an hour before the party, Simon was in the villa study discussing the final details of the settlement with Randolph hurst, the current speaker of the Hurst family, and their lawyers. After Simon stirred up the last attempt to sell assets to ease the family business crisis, the Hurst family realized that if they wanted to cross this barrier, they could not get around the westrow system in any case. They continued to delay for some time, and all possible methods had been exhausted. Finally, they decided to compromise and fully agree to Simon's request. Several discussions have been held in advance. This time, the two sides just confirmed some details. Or. More precisely, it's some of the details that the hursts care about. In the final agreement, the Hurst family sold 20% of the shares of ESPN television network held by the Hurst group to Westeros at a price of US $1, and at the same time fully paid the total compensation of US $370 million in the six lawsuits, in exchange for Westeros no longer targeting the Hurst family in the future. After the formal signing of the agreement, the Hurst family can publish information on the family media in order to convey certain information to the media and the public. On the other hand, the Hurst family also guarantees that in the future, all the media under the Hurst group will not appear any news that denigrates the Westeros system, and the Hurst family will not support politicians to promote any government bill that may target the Westeros system. The basic core is that the well water of both sides will not violate the river water in the future. However, the settlement agreement limits the Hurst family far more than the responsibility of the westrow system. When night falls, Simon and Randolph Hurst sign their own names on several contracts respectively. The disputes between the westrow system and the Hurst family, whether overt or covert, last for several months, at least superficially. Both parties leave the study together, and the party has begun. Randolph Hurst has no intention to appear in front of people. Even if it can bring some benefits to the Hurst family, he still leaves quietly from the side door of the villa. When Hurst left, Simon said to James Leibold, who had just attended the meeting: "Jim, you have a private message sent to ABC, asking them to buy the shares of AE TV network of Hurst family." AE TV network is another basic cable network based on fashion, life and popular science, which is jointly operated by the Hurst family and metropolitan ABC Group. The two sides hold 50% of the shares respectively, and their TV stations include lifetime, history channel and so on. After the settlement, the hursts still need to sell their assets in order to pay $370 million in compensation for the six lawsuits. Long term use of paper media as the fundamental thinking set will largely lead to the priority of Hurst group in selling its "non core assets". If ABC takes more initiative, it will be easy to recover all the shares of AE TV network. Westero takes 20% of ESPN, and then ABC buys back the equity of AE TV network. The Hurst family's distribution in the TV field is very limited, and the rest is basically newspaper assets. With months of conflict and a series of negative news during this period, a large number of print media owned by the Hurst family have actually lost their vitality. In the future, with the rapid decline of print media, there will not be too many that can survive. At that time, the end of the Hurst family can be imagined.James nodded and understood Simon's intention. As they walked down the hall together, James quickly said something else: "Simon, since Jennie is no longer working now, maybe you can have more children." As for the relationship between their daughter and Simon, the rebolds have long acquiesced, especially when they have children. Some time ago, the news was completely publicized, and the rebolds never considered other things. However, parents always think more about their children. Jennifer and Simon have only one daughter, which is a bit out of place for the rabolds. Both the East and the West are more or less patriarchal in nature, and they generally prefer boys' inheritance rights. Take the family of Hurst just now. After Hurst's death, most of the assets of William Hurst's six children were left to his sons. Compared with his brothers, the youngest daughter's share of assets is almost equal to Clean the body out of the house. Simon is always a little embarrassed when he mentions this kind of thing: "Jim, it depends on what Jennie means. I have no problem." James naturally said, "Jennie must want more children. She likes children very much." Simon nodded, "OK, I'll talk to Jennie sometime." James was very satisfied with Simon's attitude. He raised his hand with a smile and patted him on the shoulder. Simon is helpless. Why do you seem to have such a "bad" habit? He quickly changed the topic and asked about his assistant brother, Philip Leibold. His daughter had been cheaper than others, and James paid more attention to his son. Philip Leibold finished his undergraduate course in economics at Yale last year and went directly to law school to pursue a three-year doctor of law according to James' arrangement. James is really interested in this topic, and he is more pleased that Simon can mention Philip voluntarily. While walking, they chatted and came to the villa hall, where the shadows were already gathering. Although it was a gathering in the financial circle, some senior executives of westrow system in New York were also invited. James saw the figure of his old friend Robert egger, said hello to Simon and walked over. Simon also smiles at George Soros, who is here tonight. This year is 1994. In history, after the war of sniping pound became famous in 1992, Soros's Second World War pointed to Mexico. Simon remembers that the Mexican currency crisis broke out around the end of October. For Mexico, Simon has no European or Asian scruples. Although the vistro system will not join the fun in public, it may as well make some arrangements in private, of which 200 million dollars went to Soros' Quantum Fund. What's more, Soros is only a hedge fund tycoon in most people's minds, which is not the case. Several funds under his name are also involved in stocks, bonds, venture capital and other businesses. This time, Soros also subscribed for 2 million shares of Denise entertainment group. Simon and Soros talked about Mexican currency for a while. They just finished their conversation when grace spotter, who had changed into a long black dress, came over with a slightly thin middle-aged man in her arm. "Simon, this is my husband, bill. He works in First Boston," grace said Simon noticed a twinkle of guilt in the woman's eyes as she spoke to him. He just laughed, reached out and shook hands with the middle-aged man who was obviously restrained in front of him: "Hello, bill." "Nice to meet you, Mr. westlow." "Just call me Simon." "Oh, sure, Simon." Bill spatter took Simon's hand and said it with a touch of flattery, until he noticed that he was pulling his arm back slightly. Suddenly, his wife called him to Greenwich, which belongs to Simon westrow's mansion. Looking at a group of Wall Street tycoons that he can only look up to on weekdays, Bill spotter is still falling into the clouds. He doesn't know whether he is dreaming or not. He has secretly pinched himself several times.
