Manhattan, the westero headquarters in midtown.
Simon arrived in New York on Sunday evening and spent the whole day on Monday holding meetings with the management of Westeros and other senior executives of its subsidiaries via video link on the bond issuance plan for the second half of the year.
Speaking of this, Simon's assets are now more than one trillion US dollars, and the total amount of cash held by the whole westero system is also terrible.
For example, the core of westero company, through the profit dividends continuously contributed by its subsidiaries and the large-scale continuous cash reduction in the first half of the year, the total value of cash and all kinds of short-term convertible bonds on the book of westero company at this stage has reached 12.7 billion US dollars.
This is still on the premise that westero has been making continuous investment in all aspects and has been investing heavily in Boeing, Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae, general electric, Wal Mart, Berkshire Hathaway and other old giants in recent years. Otherwise, westero will have more cash holdings.
At the same time, through the stock investment with a general holding ratio of more than 5%, the westero system has also won a large number of seats on the board of directors of the old US corporate giants, which is actually quietly strengthening the influence of the westero system on the US economy and even its potential control over the country.
The United States is a standard capitalist country.
Capital controls everything.
To control capital is to control everything, and it is more secret.
In fact, it is not a good thing for a company to hold too much cash. If the US dollar continues to depreciate due to inflation, if it does not reinvest as soon as possible, the more cash it hoards, the longer it takes, the greater the potential loss. However, as the U.S. bull market once again surged to its peak, Simon has stopped buying stocks of various corporate giants, and other investments have also begun to tighten.
The main reason is that the investment is not cost-effective.
the stock that can be sold at the moment of 100 dollars is likely to take another one or two years, until the stock market bubble bursts and it will enter the bear market cycle again, maybe twenty or thirty dollars.
On the other hand, because the market is too good, financing at this stage is easier and the cost is relatively lower, especially for a series of enterprises with rapid growth and excellent reputation in the westero system, so now is the best time to hoard cash for the future.
After a one-day meeting, the bond issuance plan for the second half of the year was basically finalized.
Start with AOL.
After the promulgation of the New Telecommunications Act, the legal restrictions restricting AOL's overall expansion no longer exist. Now AOL, on the one hand, is further strengthening its investment in telecommunications infrastructure, on the other hand, is also planning to enter the field of cable TV operators.
As we all know, large-scale Telecom investment is a very expensive business.
Just as China has to promote the overseas listing of state-owned telecom enterprises to raise funds in order to develop the telecom industry.
In recent years, AOL has been continuously issuing bonds. This time, of course, it will not miss it. It plans to issue another 10-year or 20-year long-term bond with a total amount of US $3 billion in July, which can ensure that AOL will not suffer from capital shortage for at least the next two years.
The outside world knows how much money AOL has been burning in recent years. Starting from this company, it will be very legitimate to minimize the rebound of the capital market.
Moreover, all bond issuance plans in the second half of the year will be mainly aimed at overseas investors, which is also to avoid unpredictable impact on the domestic capital market of the United States as far as possible.
After AOL, Verizon Telecom was listed and suspended in August.
Next.
In September, Cisco paid $2 billion.
October, close to the presidential election, suspended.
In November, after the U.S. election, Nokia, tincobail and Johnston held shares, with each holding $1 billion.
In December, westero's headquarters received $2 billion.
The entire bond issuance plan, totaling $10 billion.
The main purpose of such decentralized execution is to reduce the disturbance of westrow bond issuance to the US stock market.
In fact, for those who have a little financial knowledge, the continuous large-scale reduction of westrow's holdings in the first half of the year has obviously told some people that it's time to stop and the crisis is coming. However, many things in this world are just like this. Most people understand the truth, but few of them can make decisions rationally.
"I'm afraid when others are greedy, and I'm greedy when others are afraid," as Warren Buffett put it, is no more simple than the true meaning of the risks in the capital market. Unfortunately, there are always people who want to make more money, who think they can escape at the critical moment, and who think they won't be so unlucky.
The results are predictable.
Therefore, most frogs don't want to escape as long as they don't pour boiling water directly. Westrow's phased bond issuance plan is another form of boiling frogs in warm water, which Simon likes to see.
as long as the bubble is not broken because of the financing of the vistle system.This pot is too big.
At the end of the day's work, the evening was a family dinner for the rabolds, and Robert Eggers, who had also returned from the west coast, were invited.
The next day was Tuesday, June 11.
Of course, it's not a one-day plan to issue tens of billions of dollars of bonds. It's just that James rebord will be responsible for the follow-up.
Simon didn't have time either.
Tuesday was mainly spent on Denise's entertainment TV business on the east coast.
It's summer vacation, the off-season of TV industry, and the TV promotion season in May has ended. At present, major TV stations are mainly preparing for the autumn season, launching various pilot sets to observe the market feedback.
In fact, danielis entertainment is still digesting and integrating the metropolitan ABC Group, which was annexed last year, so even in the off-season, it does not dare to relax. What's more, next month is the Olympic Games. Even if it fails to get the right to broadcast the Olympic Games, its TV stations still have a lot of relevant content to follow up.
There is also a very important one.
ESPN has been negotiating to buy out the rights to broadcast NFL matches.
This matter began when Denise entertainment won the metropolitan ABC last year. Until now, the negotiation has lasted for more than half a year. The main reason is that both sides are not in a hurry and have been slowly grinding away. Because the existing broadcasting contract will not expire until next year, that is, the Super Bowl final at the beginning of each year. This is the end of a football league season, so it is useless to even talk about it last year .
However, no matter how much bickering, there will be results.
At present, several core terms involved are basically finalized.
Eight years, nine billion dollars.
, which is as like as two peas in Simon's memory, is actually the price cap set by Simon to CEO Steve Bernstein of ESPN before the negotiations started.
That's why it took so long.
After all, after the acquisition of metropolitan ABC Group by danielis entertainment, the NFL will inevitably have the idea of eating big. Danielis entertainment is such a fat sheep that it will not be slaughtered.
It's a pity that Simon doesn't like to be a big wrongdoer.
Eight years, 9 billion dollars, compared with the previous broadcast price, such a price has been very high, if the National Football League is still insatiable, Simon would rather not buy, the big deal starts with buying out the NBA.
Now the NFL has basically known the upper limit of Daniels Entertainment's offer, but there is no sign of tearing its face. It is expected that a formal contract will be signed in July, but it will not be implemented until the new season in the second half of next year, and the $9 billion broadcast fee will be paid in batches after the formal implementation of the contract.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, after a day's work, Simon rushed from Denise entertainment east coast headquarters on the upper west side to the East Village in lower Manhattan.
In an office building next to the first avenue in Dongcun district.
As soon as Simon arrived, he was welcomed in by grace spotter, who was apparently waiting.
This is an old looking red brick office building, about ten floors.
At the end of the week, when she heard that Simon was coming, grace asked him if he wanted to see the girls she had been busy collecting for months.
It's actually the new elite world model contest.
The competition started in April. Through the selection of more than 100000 applicants worldwide, it has entered the top 64 so far. The last 64 girls have come to North America to become elite's formal contract clients, as well as participate in various training and final of the model contest.
Unlike last year's "American Idol" launched by Denise entertainment, the elite model contest is relatively simple.
And in the past events, the human tendency is very serious.
This is also the main reason why elite broke out a scandal in the late 1990s and led to the decline of the company.
It is against this background that elite executives, judges and even ordinary employees regard the model contest as a hunting ground. Linda Ivan goresta's ex husband Gaillard Marie showed a thick stack of photos in a secret interview with BBC, saying that she would sleep over all the girls. As a result, a scandal led to the rapid decline of elite.
When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter.
Now, elite is taken over by grace and indirectly becomes a member of the westero system. Simon will certainly not allow this to happen again.
Under the strict supervision of grace, compared with previous years, this year's elite world model competition is much more formal.
For example, Linda evangelinsta's ex husband Gaillard Marie, the president of elite's Paris division, was eliminated last year. Now elite can be said that grace is in power alone, and it is no longer the loose state of enterprise lost in the era of John Casablanca. The whole company is rejuvenated, all kinds of business processes are gradually standardized, and some things are getting better The chance of birth is much smaller.
Of course, it cannot be eliminated.In such a circle, a slap can't make a sound. Some people are hunters, and naturally some people are willing to become prey in order to be superior.
Frankly speaking, Simon himself is the hunter standing at the top of the food chain, so he certainly does not like other predators looking around in his hunting ground, which has promoted the internal changes of elite, because after the reform of elite, the income of all employees, including its models, is rising, and the gold content of this job has increased significantly. In this case, especially those executives who have the potential to become hunters, if they lose their jobs because they covet the targets that big boss may like, it's not worth the loss.
After all, warmth is the only way to think.
In any case, jobs are more important.
Simon and grace, together with several other attendants, enter the elevator of the building. Looking at the obvious mottled appearance of the elevators, they ask, "how can I choose here?"
There are other people around, grace just gently next to Simon, did not appear too close, turned to look at the men around, tone with light Judo: "because cheap, used to be in Greenwich, then SOHO District, now is the East Village, in a few years, maybe can only go to Brooklyn."
Simon said with a smile, "should elite not be short of money?"
In the era of John Casablanca, elite made a lot of money, otherwise it would not be able to rent a three-story office space on Fifth Avenue as its headquarters. Now, after streamlining and opening up new business, elite's revenue will increase, but its expenditure will decrease, and its profit will only be higher. Maybe in a few years, elite will be able to build its headquarters like CAA in Hollywood.
Grace said: "of course, there is no shortage. However, I am responsible to the shareholders. Besides, I can save some money and give you benefits. Unnecessary expenses can be saved naturally." "
Simon turned his mouth and said," such a good boss, I want to work for you. "
Grace just chuckled.
The elevator door will open soon. This is the seventh floor. You walk out of the elevator, turn left and come to a door. The door is an open room, about seven or eight meters wide and 20 meters long. It is obviously designed as an office space, but at this time it is used as a training room.
It's the first time I get in the door.
It's all legs.
It's all legs.
It's all legs
The main reason is that a large group of tall girls in tights are practicing their body shape. What's more, they are almost the same height, white waistcoat, black tights, and a small waist. This sense of uniformity is the gospel of obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Seeing grace, the elite headmistress, bringing a young man into the door, the girls who are training are all curious. First they are confused, and then they feel that someone seems to be familiar. It seems that Simon westrow?
Sixty four girls, no matter where they come from, who don't know the name of Simon westero, probably don't. Few of them have seen Simon in various media. At this time, the real person face to face, after repeated confirmation, each eye is bright.
To be able to come to this step from more than 100000 girls, in addition to the excellent physical conditions, none of these girls is a fool.
Of course, it's clear what the name Simon westero means.
At least, think about each other's identity, is a step up the ladder ah!
With more and more girls reacting, the scene atmosphere inevitably became restless. Even the first batch of training teachers who were responsible for training the girls looked at Simon frequently. Everyone also reflected why they had to add an hour of rehearsal today after five o'clock off time.
Obviously for the arrival of the big man not far away.
Simon didn't go to the crowd. Instead, he sat down on a bench against the wall and took a book from grace. Seeing the women's eyes inquiring, he said with a smile, "let them continue. Let me see."
Grace naturally did not have any objection. She called a person in charge of the scene to explain. When the other person walked away, she saw the man patting in the empty seat beside her. Then she sat down next to him.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!

At present, major TV stations are mainly preparing for the autumn season, launching various pilot sets to observe the market feedback. In fact, danielis entertainment is still digesting and integrating the metropolitan ABC Group, which was annexed last year, so even in the off-season, it does not dare to relax. What's more, next month is the Olympic Games. Even if it fails to get the right to broadcast the Olympic Games, its TV stations still have a lot of relevant content to follow up. There is also a very important one. ESPN has been negotiating to buy out the rights to broadcast NFL matches. This matter began when Denise entertainment won the metropolitan ABC last year. Until now, the negotiation has lasted for more than half a year. The main reason is that both sides are not in a hurry and have been slowly grinding away. Because the existing broadcasting contract will not expire until next year, that is, the Super Bowl final at the beginning of each year. This is the end of a football league season, so it is useless to even talk about it last year . However, no matter how much bickering, there will be results. At present, several core terms involved are basically finalized. Eight years, nine billion dollars. , which is as like as two peas in Simon's memory, is actually the price cap set by Simon to CEO Steve Bernstein of ESPN before the negotiations started. That's why it took so long. After all, after the acquisition of metropolitan ABC Group by danielis entertainment, the NFL will inevitably have the idea of eating big. Danielis entertainment is such a fat sheep that it will not be slaughtered. It's a pity that Simon doesn't like to be a big wrongdoer. Eight years, 9 billion dollars, compared with the previous broadcast price, such a price has been very high, if the National Football League is still insatiable, Simon would rather not buy, the big deal starts with buying out the NBA. Now the NFL has basically known the upper limit of Daniels Entertainment's offer, but there is no sign of tearing its face. It is expected that a formal contract will be signed in July, but it will not be implemented until the new season in the second half of next year, and the $9 billion broadcast fee will be paid in batches after the formal implementation of the contract. At five o'clock in the afternoon, after a day's work, Simon rushed from Denise entertainment east coast headquarters on the upper west side to the East Village in lower Manhattan. In an office building next to the first avenue in Dongcun district. As soon as Simon arrived, he was welcomed in by grace spotter, who was apparently waiting. This is an old looking red brick office building, about ten floors. At the end of the week, when she heard that Simon was coming, grace asked him if he wanted to see the girls she had been busy collecting for months. It's actually the new elite world model contest. The competition started in April. Through the selection of more than 100000 applicants worldwide, it has entered the top 64 so far. The last 64 girls have come to North America to become elite's formal contract clients, as well as participate in various training and final of the model contest. Unlike last year's "American Idol" launched by Denise entertainment, the elite model contest is relatively simple. And in the past events, the human tendency is very serious. This is also the main reason why elite broke out a scandal in the late 1990s and led to the decline of the company. It is against this background that elite executives, judges and even ordinary employees regard the model contest as a hunting ground. Linda Ivan goresta's ex husband Gaillard Marie showed a thick stack of photos in a secret interview with BBC, saying that she would sleep over all the girls. As a result, a scandal led to the rapid decline of elite. When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter. Now, elite is taken over by grace and indirectly becomes a member of the westero system. Simon will certainly not allow this to happen again. Under the strict supervision of grace, compared with previous years, this year's elite world model competition is much more formal. For example, Linda evangelinsta's ex husband Gaillard Marie, the president of elite's Paris division, was eliminated last year. Now elite can be said that grace is in power alone, and it is no longer the loose state of enterprise lost in the era of John Casablanca. The whole company is rejuvenated, all kinds of business processes are gradually standardized, and some things are getting better The chance of birth is much smaller. Of course, it cannot be eliminated.In such a circle, a slap can't make a sound. Some people are hunters, and naturally some people are willing to become prey in order to be superior. Frankly speaking, Simon himself is the hunter standing at the top of the food chain, so he certainly does not like other predators looking around in his hunting ground, which has promoted the internal changes of elite, because after the reform of elite, the income of all employees, including its models, is rising, and the gold content of this job has increased significantly. In this case, especially those executives who have the potential to become hunters, if they lose their jobs because they covet the targets that big boss may like, it's not worth the loss. After all, warmth is the only way to think. In any case, jobs are more important. Simon and grace, together with several other attendants, enter the elevator of the building. Looking at the obvious mottled appearance of the elevators, they ask, "how can I choose here?" There are other people around, grace just gently next to Simon, did not appear too close, turned to look at the men around, tone with light Judo: "because cheap, used to be in Greenwich, then SOHO District, now is the East Village, in a few years, maybe can only go to Brooklyn." Simon said with a smile, "should elite not be short of money?" In the era of John Casablanca, elite made a lot of money, otherwise it would not be able to rent a three-story office space on Fifth Avenue as its headquarters. Now, after streamlining and opening up new business, elite's revenue will increase, but its expenditure will decrease, and its profit will only be higher. Maybe in a few years, elite will be able to build its headquarters like CAA in Hollywood. Grace said: "of course, there is no shortage. However, I am responsible to the shareholders. Besides, I can save some money and give you benefits. Unnecessary expenses can be saved naturally." "Simon turned his mouth and said," such a good boss, I want to work for you. " Grace just chuckled. The elevator door will open soon. This is the seventh floor. You walk out of the elevator, turn left and come to a door. The door is an open room, about seven or eight meters wide and 20 meters long. It is obviously designed as an office space, but at this time it is used as a training room. It's the first time I get in the door. It's all legs. It's all legs. It's all legs The main reason is that a large group of tall girls in tights are practicing their body shape. What's more, they are almost the same height, white waistcoat, black tights, and a small waist. This sense of uniformity is the gospel of obsessive-compulsive disorder. Seeing grace, the elite headmistress, bringing a young man into the door, the girls who are training are all curious. First they are confused, and then they feel that someone seems to be familiar. It seems that Simon westrow? Sixty four girls, no matter where they come from, who don't know the name of Simon westero, probably don't. Few of them have seen Simon in various media. At this time, the real person face to face, after repeated confirmation, each eye is bright. To be able to come to this step from more than 100000 girls, in addition to the excellent physical conditions, none of these girls is a fool. Of course, it's clear what the name Simon westero means. At least, think about each other's identity, is a step up the ladder ah! With more and more girls reacting, the scene atmosphere inevitably became restless. Even the first batch of training teachers who were responsible for training the girls looked at Simon frequently. Everyone also reflected why they had to add an hour of rehearsal today after five o'clock off time. Obviously for the arrival of the big man not far away. Simon didn't go to the crowd. Instead, he sat down on a bench against the wall and took a book from grace. Seeing the women's eyes inquiring, he said with a smile, "let them continue. Let me see." Grace naturally did not have any objection. She called a person in charge of the scene to explain. When the other person walked away, she saw the man patting in the empty seat beside her. Then she sat down next to him.
