All day on October 20, Simon stayed at the westero headquarters in Rockefeller Center in midtown Manhattan.
Through the communication with the senior management of igrit, the political consultant team of the Westeros family, cersei capital analysis team, Simon personal assistant office and the personal intelligence team of the Westeros family, we have clearly completed the carding and analysis of a series of recent events around the Wisconsin logistics distribution center.
It's evening in a small conference room at the headquarters of westero.
Simon and James Leibold stood side by side in front of a white board in the corner of the conference room with only a few words on it.
Political parties.
Trade unions.
Short.
The media.
Competitors.
A lot of things seem to be complicated, cut open a mess, the core silk thread is always a few.
If a political party wants to win votes, it must stir up some topics that the public is most interested in, and make promises that conform to the will of the public.
The trade union should maintain its own position and strive for more interests at the same time.
Bears need a company's share price to fall in order to be profitable.
Media need hot spots to promote sales and audience.
Among competitors, as long as there is an opportunity, they should not be soft hearted.
Moreover, these factors are not completely separated from each other, but complement each other. If a political party wants to win over the trade union, the bears need to borrow the power of the trade union and the political party. The media is often the most effective tool of public opinion, and the competitors are all happy with the disruption of the political party, the trade union and the media.
They looked at a list of words on the whiteboard in silence for a moment. James Leibold first said, "I'm going to Washington this weekend to talk to the president."
The White House couple really need a knock.
Simon's demands on the Clintons are not high, and he knows that there are too many things to weigh in that position. However, if the other party blindly watches the Democratic Party's practice in naigrett, Wisconsin, for the bullshit reason that the party is not monolithic, he does not mind letting the Democratic Party lose its influence in Wisconsin to the greatest extent.
As a key state in last year's mid-term election, and also a key point of westrow's deep ploughing plan in the political field, it is not difficult for Simon to achieve this. Wisconsin's share of 10 electoral votes doesn't matter at all, compared with Midwestern states with only two or three electoral votes.
Simon nodded and said, "and, if you can, talk to gore again."
With Clinton's popularity advantage accumulated in recent years, there is almost no suspense about re-election in next year's general election. On the contrary, Al Gore, the next vice president, who wants to continue to win the presidency after Clinton, can not do without the help of the westero system. Moreover, compared with the Clintons, whose foundation is relatively shallow, the gore family has a much deeper influence in the Democratic Party.
James knew Simon's meeting with Bush at the beginning of the year. He also knew some of Simon's thoughts. He said, "have you changed your mind?"
"Of course not, Jim. You just need to have a meal with gore. You don't need to promise anything."
Simon doesn't want Gore to continue the U.S. economic development centered national policy after Clinton, but hopes that the Bush family will come back to power again. Through several wars, Clinton's accumulated family wealth will be wiped out again, and the United States will decline fundamentally. According to the way of weakening the people in a Book, Simon believes that this is more conducive to the expansion of the westero system .
However, during the discussion with James, Simon will not explain so directly.
It's hard to say if James will be a determined patriot.
Therefore, the reason given by Simon is that the huge westero system must have certain solid allies between the two parties in the United States. The Clintons are regarded as allies of the Democratic Party. In fact, the relationship between the two parties is just right. If it is too close, it is estimated that Clinton's re-election will be a problem, let alone continue to play the influence of the Clinton family in the future.
On the Republican side, Simon chose the Bush family.
As for Bill Clinton's current Vice President Al Gore, although the other party is the main promoter of the US information highway bill, Simon did not consider wooing the other party from the beginning.
Of course, it's OK to use the influence of the gore family within the Democratic Party to intervene in the recent turmoil.
No matter in politics or in business, there is no escape from intrigue.
Having said that, James scratched the word "short" on the whiteboard and asked, "well, Simon, what are you going to do?"
The last two of the five factors leading to the storm are not too important, namely, the "media" and "competitors". At present, the westero system has a strong control over the media field, and there will never be a one-sided phenomenon. As for competitors, there are not many who will be taken seriously by westero system.
Therefore, in addition to political parties and trade unions, another most unstable factor is Wall Street's short capital against westrow technology stocks.Simon tidied up his mind a little and said, "short selling is nothing more than those means, such as instigating litigation disputes, introducing authorities' interference, exposing financial scandals and so on. Things in Wisconsin have little to do with bears. They are still building positions. However, I think they will continue to use these things to suppress the market's confidence in igrit in the future. As far as finance is concerned, igritte now has no room for them. Therefore, the most important means is to introduce interference from the authorities, which is nothing more than anti-monopoly review. Even though we have made some compromises with Washington, igritte's monopoly advantage is still too obvious. Robertson, they want to be short, and the most effective way is to start with that. "
Choosing the right time to split igrit is Simon's plan.
After all, the scale of igritte is too large now. If we do not take the initiative to adjust, it will be difficult to escape the shackles of development.
James understood this, so he knew that even if the bears did not succeed, they would not inflicted heavy losses on igreat, but he quickly asked, "Simon, are you really worried that the new technology bubble will burst in the short term?"
Simon said: "among Cisco, AOL and igritte, the only thing I'm worried about is AOL, which is still investing heavily in building its own infrastructure network. Therefore, I plan to let AOL issue another $5 billion long-term bond in the near future to store enough cash. Apart from that, it's nothing. If the bubble really ruptures, CISCO's market advantage can easily survive the low period, especially in igret. You must have seen the memorandum of that meeting in October 7th. The IPO fund raised by this company is my chip for the bottom up expansion after the bubble burst. Therefore, if the new technology bubble burst ahead of schedule, it will only be good for us, because many potential competitors will lose their strength and even have to withdraw from this field completely.
James scanned a list of words on the whiteboard again, turned to Simon again, and his eyes were bright: "so, you don't think these things are much of a problem these days?"
"Of course not. We should take these things seriously and handle them very carefully. There has never been a lack of all kinds of black swan events in human history. Sometimes it may be just a small matter that may brew into an irreparable storm. Therefore, I will only tell you what I said just now. In front of other people, my attitude must be like facing the enemy. "
James heard Simon say so, showing a relieved smile, but also can not help but say: "Simon, many times I am curious, what kind of experience will make you become so mature?"
Simon followed with a smile: "Jim, let's talk about the next topic."
James just asked casually and didn't expect an answer.
They continued to discuss the details of the follow-up, and didn't get off work until 6 p.m.
In fact, Simon is happy to see the success of the recent storm and some things that can be expected in the future.
Because the rise of technology stock market is a little too fast.
Simon is happy to see the growth of igrit and other westrow technology stocks slow down.
Fine water flows long.
Therefore, even without these things, Simon is planning to reduce the holding of westrow technology stocks early next year. On the one hand, he will cash out the funds for investment in other fields, and on the other hand, he will suppress the overheated rise of technology stocks.
Now it's a two pronged approach.
Of course, Simon will not let it go.
Just like the sudden strike of truck drivers at the contractor of Wisconsin logistics distribution center, Simon's handling method will surely be remembered by some people in order to avoid the similar unexpected situation in the future.
There's no work on the weekend, Veronica's still in Los Angeles, and she can't go back to the west coast.
In recent days, I occasionally took a glance at the map of Fifth Avenue apartment. I decided to take a stroll on the Alaskan wasteland where the snow had begun to fall, such as racing, hunting, hiking and relaxing.
When ordinary people see the rich wearing ordinary clothes, driving ordinary cars and eating ordinary food, they often think that the rich are just like this, and even have some strange sense of superiority. In fact, the greatest advantage wealth brings to people is freedom and the right to choose. The rich can wear ordinary clothes, but they can also brush all the luxuries in a shopping street at any time, which is impossible for ordinary people who have to live frugally for more than half a year for a satchel.
Simon wants to go to Alaska at the weekend, and orders that everything will be arranged.
Just after the fashion week, many models have come to New York to rest and prepare for the year-end show. Simon was going to take some big vases with him. On Wednesday, he had dinner with Irene Lauder, and the girl robbed the hole.
Obviously, there can only be one.
On Friday night, they rushed to meet Simon and spent the night in the Greenwich north suburb manor in Connecticut. The next morning, as soon as it was light, they boarded Simon's private Boeing 767 and flew to Alaska. After a six hour journey, they arrived in anchorage. Because of the time difference, the time was still more than nine o'clock on Saturday.After landing, the plane left anchorage directly, drove East for more than 100 kilometers and arrived at a wilderness hunting ground.
It's already snowing in Alaska in October. Fortunately, not all areas are covered with snow. This is the hunting ground selected by Simon and his party. When they arrive at their destination, the most direct feeling is the vast sea and sky.
Having been a good girl for many years, Irene Lauder, who had never experienced this kind of experience, was even more excited. After getting out of the car, she looked around and quickly spread out her arms and cried out.
It's already noon.
Simon's bodyguards and two guides, a man and a woman, began to prepare lunch. Naturally, Simon didn't need to pay attention to these things. When Irene Lauder finished venting, she looked at the girl's red face and asked with a smile, "how do you feel?"
Irene Lauder, feeling Simon's smile, suddenly a little shy, came forward and took the man's arm: "where's the gun? Aren't we going to hunt? I'll tell you, I've never touched a gun when I'm so big. I'll try later. Well, I don't know how to hunt animals. Can I empty my gun? "
"Of course."
Simon nodded his head and took the girl to an off-road vehicle in the back. A bodyguard was already sorting out the guns, because this is a large animal hunting ground where moose and brown bear haunt, and the trunk is full of rifles with sight glasses.
Seeing Simon coming with Irene Lauder, the bodyguard says hello, but instead of picking out the rifles, he drags through an obviously heavy box. After opening it, she looks at an exaggerated gun in the box, and Irene Lauder stares at it.
The middle-aged and steady bodyguard took up the big gun and handed it to Simon with both hands, but he couldn't help persuading him: "boss, do you have to play with this?"
Simon easily took over the famous Barrett anti equipment sniper gun with one hand, made a slight gesture, and motioned to the barrel: "take off the bracket, it's not good-looking."
The middle-aged bodyguard is helpless, but he skillfully helps Simon to remove the bracket at the front of the big gun. He already knows how his boss plans to play. However, when you think about the extraordinary strength of your boss, this 15 kg gun is nothing in his hand. I handed the magazine to him again. I thought that if my boss was injured, I would not be able to get away with it. I finally made an effort: "boss, even the brown bear will be broken when I hunt with this gun."
Simon took the magazine and put it on. He said, "I'm not going to hit the brown bear. I'll just hit the stone. However, I'm careless this time. I can take some small UAVs as moving targets next time."
With a big gun in one hand and a dull Irene Lauder in the other, "baby, let's try this big toy together."
Irene Lauder followed Simon's strength and walked to the camp not far away. She stood beside the man and watched him carry the exaggerated gun which looked very heavy.
Then.
Boom
One moment, looking at the tall and straight posture beside her and the wild gun, Irene Lauder felt that she had become a prey of some guy, or that she had fallen into the trap without hunting at all.
An estate in the northern suburb of Greenwich, Connecticut.
The weekend passed.
It's the morning of October 23.
The man who prepared breakfast in person and changed into a suit after morning exercise sat across the table. Irene Lauder took the initiative to divide the breakfast thoughtfully and sat down at the table, but she didn't pick up the tableware immediately. After this weekend, she still had a kind of alluring and red face. She looked at a guy across the table for a while and suddenly asked "Simon, did you do it on purpose?"
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!

James understood this, so he knew that even if the bears did not succeed, they would not inflicted heavy losses on igreat, but he quickly asked, "Simon, are you really worried that the new technology bubble will burst in the short term?" Simon said: "among Cisco, AOL and igritte, the only thing I'm worried about is AOL, which is still investing heavily in building its own infrastructure network. Therefore, I plan to let AOL issue another $5 billion long-term bond in the near future to store enough cash. Apart from that, it's nothing. If the bubble really ruptures, CISCO's market advantage can easily survive the low period, especially in igret. You must have seen the memorandum of that meeting in October 7th. The IPO fund raised by this company is my chip for the bottom up expansion after the bubble burst. Therefore, if the new technology bubble burst ahead of schedule, it will only be good for us, because many potential competitors will lose their strength and even have to withdraw from this field completely. James scanned a list of words on the whiteboard again, turned to Simon again, and his eyes were bright: "so, you don't think these things are much of a problem these days?" "Of course not. We should take these things seriously and handle them very carefully. There has never been a lack of all kinds of black swan events in human history. Sometimes it may be just a small matter that may brew into an irreparable storm. Therefore, I will only tell you what I said just now. In front of other people, my attitude must be like facing the enemy. " James heard Simon say so, showing a relieved smile, but also can not help but say: "Simon, many times I am curious, what kind of experience will make you become so mature?" Simon followed with a smile: "Jim, let's talk about the next topic." James just asked casually and didn't expect an answer. They continued to discuss the details of the follow-up, and didn't get off work until 6 p.m. In fact, Simon is happy to see the success of the recent storm and some things that can be expected in the future. Because the rise of technology stock market is a little too fast. Simon is happy to see the growth of igrit and other westrow technology stocks slow down. Fine water flows long. Therefore, even without these things, Simon is planning to reduce the holding of westrow technology stocks early next year. On the one hand, he will cash out the funds for investment in other fields, and on the other hand, he will suppress the overheated rise of technology stocks. Now it's a two pronged approach. Of course, Simon will not let it go. Just like the sudden strike of truck drivers at the contractor of Wisconsin logistics distribution center, Simon's handling method will surely be remembered by some people in order to avoid the similar unexpected situation in the future. There's no work on the weekend, Veronica's still in Los Angeles, and she can't go back to the west coast. In recent days, I occasionally took a glance at the map of Fifth Avenue apartment. I decided to take a stroll on the Alaskan wasteland where the snow had begun to fall, such as racing, hunting, hiking and relaxing. When ordinary people see the rich wearing ordinary clothes, driving ordinary cars and eating ordinary food, they often think that the rich are just like this, and even have some strange sense of superiority. In fact, the greatest advantage wealth brings to people is freedom and the right to choose. The rich can wear ordinary clothes, but they can also brush all the luxuries in a shopping street at any time, which is impossible for ordinary people who have to live frugally for more than half a year for a satchel. Simon wants to go to Alaska at the weekend, and orders that everything will be arranged. Just after the fashion week, many models have come to New York to rest and prepare for the year-end show. Simon was going to take some big vases with him. On Wednesday, he had dinner with Irene Lauder, and the girl robbed the hole. Obviously, there can only be one. On Friday night, they rushed to meet Simon and spent the night in the Greenwich north suburb manor in Connecticut. The next morning, as soon as it was light, they boarded Simon's private Boeing 767 and flew to Alaska. After a six hour journey, they arrived in anchorage. Because of the time difference, the time was still more than nine o'clock on Saturday.After landing, the plane left anchorage directly, drove East for more than 100 kilometers and arrived at a wilderness hunting ground. It's already snowing in Alaska in October. Fortunately, not all areas are covered with snow. This is the hunting ground selected by Simon and his party. When they arrive at their destination, the most direct feeling is the vast sea and sky. Having been a good girl for many years, Irene Lauder, who had never experienced this kind of experience, was even more excited. After getting out of the car, she looked around and quickly spread out her arms and cried out. It's already noon. Simon's bodyguards and two guides, a man and a woman, began to prepare lunch. Naturally, Simon didn't need to pay attention to these things. When Irene Lauder finished venting, she looked at the girl's red face and asked with a smile, "how do you feel?" Irene Lauder, feeling Simon's smile, suddenly a little shy, came forward and took the man's arm: "where's the gun? Aren't we going to hunt? I'll tell you, I've never touched a gun when I'm so big. I'll try later. Well, I don't know how to hunt animals. Can I empty my gun? " "Of course." Simon nodded his head and took the girl to an off-road vehicle in the back. A bodyguard was already sorting out the guns, because this is a large animal hunting ground where moose and brown bear haunt, and the trunk is full of rifles with sight glasses. Seeing Simon coming with Irene Lauder, the bodyguard says hello, but instead of picking out the rifles, he drags through an obviously heavy box. After opening it, she looks at an exaggerated gun in the box, and Irene Lauder stares at it. The middle-aged and steady bodyguard took up the big gun and handed it to Simon with both hands, but he couldn't help persuading him: "boss, do you have to play with this?" Simon easily took over the famous Barrett anti equipment sniper gun with one hand, made a slight gesture, and motioned to the barrel: "take off the bracket, it's not good-looking." The middle-aged bodyguard is helpless, but he skillfully helps Simon to remove the bracket at the front of the big gun. He already knows how his boss plans to play. However, when you think about the extraordinary strength of your boss, this 15 kg gun is nothing in his hand. I handed the magazine to him again. I thought that if my boss was injured, I would not be able to get away with it. I finally made an effort: "boss, even the brown bear will be broken when I hunt with this gun." Simon took the magazine and put it on. He said, "I'm not going to hit the brown bear. I'll just hit the stone. However, I'm careless this time. I can take some small UAVs as moving targets next time." With a big gun in one hand and a dull Irene Lauder in the other, "baby, let's try this big toy together." Irene Lauder followed Simon's strength and walked to the camp not far away. She stood beside the man and watched him carry the exaggerated gun which looked very heavy. Then. Boom One moment, looking at the tall and straight posture beside her and the wild gun, Irene Lauder felt that she had become a prey of some guy, or that she had fallen into the trap without hunting at all. An estate in the northern suburb of Greenwich, Connecticut. The weekend passed. It's the morning of October 23. The man who prepared breakfast in person and changed into a suit after morning exercise sat across the table. Irene Lauder took the initiative to divide the breakfast thoughtfully and sat down at the table, but she didn't pick up the tableware immediately. After this weekend, she still had a kind of alluring and red face. She looked at a guy across the table for a while and suddenly asked "Simon, did you do it on purpose?"
