Simon listened to the woman in silence for a long time before interrupting in a blunt tone: "Don't cry."

When the woman heard Simon's words, she immediately stopped sobbing, covered her mouth and suppressed it forcibly, as if she was worried that making some more whimpers would make the person on the bed unhappy.

After a while, she wiped the tears from her face, looked up at Simon, and said, "You, I can give you whatever you want. Everything is my fault. Don't hurt the Johnston family. There is Jenny. Jenny, Jenny really loves you."

Simon was silent for a moment again, but his tone was still a little blunt after he spoke, and said, "I never thought of hurting anyone, it's all just a coincidence."

The woman sat on the chair, with a look of obvious disbelief but dare not believe it.

After a while, Simon said again: "Have you told others?"

The woman shook her head: "No."

"I don't want to complicate things so much, since you haven't told anyone, just forget about it."

"Ok?"

"Just pretend nothing happened, I don't know you, you don't know me."

The woman raised her hand again: "You, really?"

"I'm a little sleepy, let's go."

The woman stared at Simon seriously for a moment, then stood up cautiously, and left the ward silently.

The next morning, another full body check was over, and Simon left the medical center surrounded by a large crowd.

A large number of reporters who had been waiting outside the medical center for three full days almost caused a riot when they saw Simon appear, and followed him all the way to Johnston's manor before giving up.

At noon the Johnstons arranged a luncheon to welcome Simon out of the hospital, and invited some guests.

And so it had to be.

Everyone is very concerned about whether Simon can guarantee the operation of Cersei Capital.

In addition, Raymond Johnston solemnly introduced his sister Veronica Johnston to Simon at the banquet.Although Veronica behaved a little strangely in front of Simon, everyone just regarded it as a normal reaction when a stranger met for the first time.

Although he had remembered more things, Simon did not intend to let some old past disturb his life, and made up his mind to regard everything that happened in the past few days as a dream.

After waking up from the dream, life will naturally continue.

Chapter 242 Tasmania (Revised)

Northwest Tasmania.

Crossing the Arthur River in the virgin forest in Northwest Tasmania, there are a few simple wooden houses on the border of large farms and dense forests. Simon and Janet have lived here in recent days.

Of course, not only the two of them, but also many other followers.

The kidnapping of Heineken president that shocked the world six years ago made all rich people pay more attention to their own safety issues, especially Simon, who has always been insecure in his bones.As a human being in two lives, he also understands that there are always too many unexpected malices in this world.

The wooden house was built when the surrounding farm and surrounding woodland were bought. Simon actually hoped to build some exquisite masonry buildings, but such an idea was extremely inconsistent with the well-preserved original ecology around him, so he had to give up.

Many rich people always claim that money is just a string of numbers to a certain extent. This statement is very hypocritical in Simon's view.

More money means that a person can enjoy all the resources in this society more freely. In this regard, there is absolutely a big difference between a millionaire and a billionaire, and there is a huge difference between a billionaire and a billionaire. Still not the same.

Supervised by Janet, they completely put aside their work. In recent days, the two have enjoyed everything that can only be enjoyed in many top resorts on this rather backward island at the end of the world.

It is still midwinter in the northern hemisphere at this time, and I heard that New York has just experienced a snowstorm recently.It is midsummer here in Australia, and Tasmania, which is located in a temperate maritime climate, does not have the slightest heat in summer, and it is an excellent summer resort.

The place of residence is less than [-] kilometers away from the seaside, drifting down the Arthur River, floating on the sea for a day on the yacht of Johnston's family, and then led a team along the Arthur River to find the unique Australian platypus.

I really caught a litter, but unfortunately no one knew how to eat it, so I had to let it go.

On the last day of February, Simon and Janet flew to a winery in central Tower Island by helicopter.

Tasmania is a very good wine producing area, but because of its remote location, it has not been able to develop a wine industry as prosperous as in Europe.

Janet originally wanted to buy a winery in Europe, but she couldn't find a suitable one, so she found a new way to open up a small winery with a scale of about 20 hectares in Tasmania, and transplanted a batch of very high-quality grapes from France. Pinot Noir vines come over.

It is the season when the grapes are ripe, and although the picking will be more suitable next month, Simon and Janet still personally tried most of the process from picking to brewing.

Sophia Feixi happened to come from Europe in the past few days, because of Simon's coma a few days ago, and because of Gucci's affairs.The woman was originally stopped by Janet in Melbourne, because she was going to the winery today, so she was called over as a staff officer.

The three of them spent a whole day in the winery, and it was near evening before returning to their destination in the northwest by helicopter again.

After getting off the helicopter, everyone went to the wooden house together. Sophia was still talking about the winery: "The wines in Tasmania are very unique. If they can be carefully managed, they will definitely create a good brand. Unfortunately, From the maintenance of the grape plantations to the brewing technology of red wine here, it is far from being comparable to that in Europe. Although the quality of wine is affected by the climate, the planting and brewing technology are also very important.”

"If you think it's possible, you can try it," Simon said, walking between the two women, "However, there should be no top winemakers willing to live in such a remote place, and the whole of Tasmania Only a few 10 people."

Sophia was about to continue to say something when Janet interrupted: "Sophie, I just dragged Simon out of work for a few days, don't talk about these things."

"Okay," Sophia stopped in time, and asked curiously, "Speaking of which, what happened last time?"

Hearing this question, Janet blinked her eyes in embarrassment and stopped talking.

Simon smiled and said, "It's nothing, I'm just too tired."

The three of them came to the door of the wooden house, and the chef who came with them this time came up and asked everyone what to eat for dinner, and said that Melbourne had just sent someone to deliver some seafood.

Simon didn't pay much attention to these, he just handed it over to Janet, opened the door and walked into the wooden house.

After a day of running around, he just wanted to take a good bath.

The wooden house is a two-story structure. It looks simple and rough on the outside, with some new shoots on the wood, but the interior decoration is very delicate, and all the furniture and equipment are available.

Simon took a shower in the bathroom on the second floor, changed his clothes and went downstairs again.

There was no one in the living room, but there were some noises from the kitchen. Simon came to the kitchen door and saw Sophia making coffee.After the same day of running around, the woman who is habitually dressed as an OL is still meticulous all over her body, as if she just sat in the office for a day.

Janet's personality is often like a little girl. In comparison, Sophia does have a very lethal and familiar atmosphere regardless of her age, figure and temperament.

Simon leaned against the door frame, admiring the mature and graceful figure of the woman, unknowingly aroused some uncontrollable emotions.

Probably because of the forced abstinence by Janet in the past few days.

Janet privately felt that she had been pestering Simon for too long that night that caused the fainting incident the next day, so she has been preventing Simon from doing certain things in the past few days.

Women are naturally very sensitive to men's eyes, Sophia pretended to be patient for a moment, then turned her head to look over, with a faint blush on her face, and said, "Boss, don't you think it's impolite to look at a woman like this?" ?"

Although she expressed her stance on certain matters, and she didn't resist having something to do with Simon in her heart, in the past, Sophia knew that Simon didn't seem to have much interest in her.However, for some reason, she could clearly feel a certain dangerous aura at this time.

The man at the door was suppressing the urge to rush over and pin her on the kitchen counter.

Still kind of rough.

Simon barely heard what Sophia had just said, and still looked at the woman in front of him unabashedly.It wasn't until Janet's light laughter when talking with someone suddenly came from outside the wooden house that this charming confrontation that seemed to be on the verge of firing was broken.

His eyes cleared up again, Simon raised his finger and pointed at the coffee pot, and said, "Are you ready?"

Sophia noticed that a certain aura on Simon's body quickly faded, and she was inexplicably disappointed, even a little curious, but nodded quickly: "Okay."

"Pour me a glass without sugar."

After explaining this, Simon turned and went back to the living room.

Sophia stood there in a daze for a moment, then silently took a cup from the cupboard and poured coffee.After hesitating for a while, he added a cube of sugar in a fit of anger.Then he felt a little regretful, poured another cup, and then walked out of the kitchen with two cups of coffee.

Simon was lying lazily on the couch in the living room, leaning on the pillow, flipping through a book in his hand.

Sophia put a cup of coffee on the tea table beside Simon, and sat down on the single sofa on the other side.Glancing at the book in the man's hand, "Walden", vaguely remembered that it was a very famous collection of essays, but she hadn't read it.

Just thinking about what to say, I heard Simon's voice: "You can go upstairs and take a shower."

Sophia shook her head subconsciously: "No, no need."

But a thought flashed in my mind, what if he broke in?

"Then tell me about Gucci."

Some time ago, Sophia has successfully won 63% of the shares of Gucci, with a total expenditure of 1.7 million US dollars.

In fact, Simon hopes to buy the entire Gucci at once. With his current strength, it is easy to raise another fund.However, although they have agreed to let go of Gucci's absolute control, most members of the Gucci family are obviously looking forward to continuing to hold some shares so that the company can continue to earn profits after its recovery in the future.

After hearing what Simon said, Sophia looked towards the door and said, "Jenny just said that she can't talk about work."

Simon casually turned a page of the book in his hand and said, "You have to understand that for a person who is a heavy smoker, forcing him to quit smoking is not only not good for his health, but it will be counterproductive."

Sophia felt that this metaphor was very interesting, she smiled, and said, "Things are a little troublesome."

"Ok?"

"Gucci's problems are more serious than I imagined, financial chaos, over-authorization, brand differentiation, etc. Even, people like Maurizio Gucci and Paul Gucci of the Gucci family are basically on the scandal pages of many gossip newspapers The regulars, the third generation of the family sucks. They are a huge problem in their own right to rebrand Gucci."

"It's normal. Gucci has a background comparable to brands such as Dior and LV. Dior and LV are currently worth more than 10 billion US dollars. If Gucci's problems are not too serious, how can we spend less than 3 million US dollars? I got so many shares at a valuation of [-] shares," Simon was not surprised at all, he glanced at the woman sideways, and said, "You don't want to tell me, you don't know what to do now, do you?"

Sophia avoided Simon's eyes, looked over quickly, and said, "I need a sum of money, at least 2000 million U.S. dollars."

Simon asked, "What's the reason?"

"All the funds I could have used in my hand were only more than 1 million US dollars. I spent 7600 million to buy Gucci shares, leaving only more than 1 million US dollars of funds. However, Gucci has been severely damaged now. , although I plan to streamline the product line, some products will be very difficult to restore once they are cut off, so even if they lose money, they must continue to be maintained. These all need money. Also, Maurizio Gucci, the previous helm of Gucci, is a living A very extravagant person, in order to maintain a luxurious life, he almost emptied Gucci's foundation a few years ago, and even left a large hidden debt, most of which can be slowly digested in future operations, But some still have to be paid off as soon as possible.”

Simon nodded, thought for a while, and said, "These are just small things, I just want to know, what are you going to do next?"

Sofia said: "While ensuring that the main Gucci product lines are operating normally, I plan to start with the fashion department, especially the women's clothing department. As long as the fashion department recovers, other product lines of the Gucci brand can benefit from it. I have already identified several The new creative director will be interviewing these people when he leaves Melbourne."

Simon said: "But if you want to sign these people, you still need money, right?"

"Yes," Sophia nodded, and said, "Many famous designers are not optimistic about Gucci now. If we want to sign them, we must show enough strength."

Simon continued to ask, "Is there anything else?"

"After confirming the new creative director, I will focus the next stage of operations on several major fashion weeks this autumn, which will be the key to Gucci's revival. At that time, I hope that Daenerys Entertainment can give Provide some media resources to support."

"That's fine, I'll say hello to Amy."

"Actually, Simon, I hope that after Batman is finished, you can come to Italy to have a look and give some suggestions. There is also the autumn fashion week. If possible, I hope you can personally shoot a commercial for Gucci."

Simon shook his head and said, "I don't know much about fashion, and I don't intend to waste too much energy on it. Sophie, I hope you will do the same. Try to hand things over to capable people as much as possible. You only need to do one At the helm, don’t worry that the people under you are too good. What you should do is to ensure that your subordinates are better than you. As soon as Gucci recovers, I will invest more money to allow you to acquire other brands and get Melisandre as soon as possible. The company expanded into a comprehensive luxury group. If you are completely involved in the Gucci brand, you will be tied to this brand. At that time, I can only find someone else to manage Meili Sandra."

"I understand, Simon, but this matter cannot be too urgent. I need to use Gucci to familiarize myself with the detailed operation of the entire luxury industry." Sophia said, "So, about the funds and commercials?"

Simon didn't give a ticket, and said: "I can give you the money. As for the commercial, will I have time when I see it? If not, you can only find someone else."

The two were chatting, Janet opened the door and came in, just in time to hear their conversation, suddenly became dissatisfied, pulled Simon from the sofa and walked out, saying: "Dad sent someone to send Antarctic krill, Still alive."

Simon had no choice but to be dragged away by Janet.

Sophia watched the two go out, got up and followed them out.

Everyone continued to stay in Tasmania for one night, rested for a whole week, and the group returned to Melbourne the next day.

After all, it is impossible to stop filming for "Batman" for too long. The next day is March 3st, the beginning of a new month, and Simon restarted filming on this day.

Janet originally planned to accompany Simon to return to North America after her 21st birthday. With the expansion of Simon's property, the woman's life is far less leisurely than before.However, after experiencing the fainting incident, Janet stayed completely and helped Simon manage Cersei's capital.

Chapter 243 Documentary (revision)

After a false alarm, the operations of Daenerys Entertainment quickly returned to normal.

However, after experiencing this incident, Amy, the heads of the Westeros system, also realized how fragile the business empire created by Simon was in some respects.

When all kinds of rumors suddenly came from Melbourne, Amy even heard that the Los Angeles county government once planned to set up a special working group to take over Daenerys Entertainment.Because legally, Simon is actually alone, and he doesn't have any legal heirs.

Janet is undoubtedly the closest person to Simon, but legally, the two have nothing to do with each other.

Moreover, during this incident, no one felt that Simon, a young man in his early twenties, would think of making a will.

During the rush to Melbourne, after confirming that their boss was safe and sound, Amy and James suggested that Simon re-establish the will and the asset agent in some cases.They had learned that Simon had left a will document with George Norman, but with billions of dollars in assets involved, they couldn't be too cautious.

Howard Hughes, who died in 1976, is still in a huge estate lawsuit more than a decade later.

A lot of information confirms that Hughes left a will that year, but because of the lack of a clear legal heir, driven by huge profits, all true and false will documents have been declared invalid, and Hughes' huge inheritance has completely become a lot of money. A gluttonous feast that people are vying for.

Naturally, Simon didn't want to end up like Hughes, so he followed the advice of Amy and the two, and re-drafted the relevant will and agency documents under multiple guarantees.

Entering March, after "Rain Man", Daenerys Entertainment's other two films "Steel Magnolia" and "Dead Poets Society" that were released at the end of last year also achieved a North American box office of over 3 million.

Therefore, in 1988, there were 11 North American box office billion-dollar club films, 7 of which were produced by Daenerys Entertainment, and the other 4 were Disney's "Who Framed Roger Rabbit", Paramount America's Journey, Fox's "Futurama" and Paramount's "Crocodile Dundee 2."

At the end of 1988, the two films "The White-headed Detective" and "Dragon Brother and Mouse Brother", which were also blockbusters at the box office, were unable to reach the threshold of [-] million yuan in the end, under the pressure of Daenerys Entertainment's many blockbuster films.

The two films are still in theaters, but according to the current box office data, the North American box office of "The White-headed Detective" is only about 7300 million U.S. dollars, and the total domestic box office of "Dragon Brother and Mouse Brother" is expected to be only about 9500 million U.S. dollars.

丹妮莉丝娱乐7部实现北美票房破亿的影片中，6部已经进入1988年票房榜单前十，只剩下最后一部《死亡诗社》还在追赶No.10的《鳄鱼邓迪2》。

However, although "Dead Poets Society" cannot be regarded as a big hit during the awards season like "Rain Man", it has also become a hot topic recently. It is not difficult to catch up with "Crocodile Dundee 2", which was released in the summer of last year.

On the other hand, both "The Bodyguard" and "The Sixth Sense" have been successfully completed recently, and the filming progress of John Hughes' "Uncle Buck" has also passed halfway.Daenerys Entertainment has officially announced the schedules of the three films, which are June 6, June 2, and August 6. Some pre-publicity work for the three films has already started.
