Hollywood New Century

In the middle and late October of 2007, the market seemed to have returned to calm, and house prices actually rebounded slightly. Is the economic depression gone?

Simon knew that this was the last calm of the storm, and Nancy Davis' nervousness became more and more tense.

At the same time, the Salvation Trio of U.S. Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson, Federal Reserve Chairman and Great Depression economist Ben Bernanke, and New York Reserve Bank President Timothy Geithner also began frequent operations.

At this time, Simon Parker did not pay too much attention. Along with BNP Paribas, the German Industrial Bank reported a large number of losses of funds involved in real estate mortgages; the tenth largest mortgage lender in the United States, the American Home Mortgage Investment Corporation, also filed for bankruptcy in the court. Protection, becoming the second large-scale residential mortgage loan company to go bankrupt this year after New Century Financial Corporation;

At the beginning of November, Bear Stearns, the fifth largest investment bank in the United States, announced the collapse of two of its funds; Mizuho Group, the parent company of Mizuho Bank, the second largest bank in RB, Northen Rock Bank, the fifth largest mortgage lender in the United Kingdom, and other companies including Woori. Five Korean banks, Merrill Lynch, Citibank, and the United Arab Emirates sovereign fund and many other bank funds involved in subprime mortgage loans in the United States all suffered large losses.

The crisis broke out, and the Federal Reserve, the European Central Bank, the RB Central Bank and the Australian Central Bank successively injected funds into the market.

The stock price of real estate-related companies plunged due to the cliff-like fall in housing prices, and the cold winter of Wall Street has begun!

New York, Manhattan, The Notre Dame de Paris musical is being performed at a theater on Lendner Avenue in Tribeca, Lower CX.

Just as Simon Parker was sitting in the private room on the second floor, enjoying the musical wholeheartedly, Nancy Davis came in with a look of excitement, walked up to Simon, and whispered: "The stock price of Fannie Mae has fallen below $50. I can't stop now!"

"Sit down, I know!" Simon nodded slightly, looking directly at the duet between the actress who played Esmedala and Quasimodo who played the bell ringer on the stage.

"This "Notre Dame de Paris" is my favorite musical based on a literary masterpiece. The high pitch is sweet, the tenor is accurate, and the bass is deep. These stage actors are still good," Simon said about the stage play. introduce.

Nancy Davis looked helpless. Under the current circumstances, how could she still be in the mood to listen to a musical?

However, the big boss is in a good mood now, and Nancy Davis has no choice but to nod in agreement.

"This theater!" Simon took a look around the city and smiled: "This location is also good, because of the impact of the 9/11 incident, the economy of the entire triangle area was in a downturn before, and now it has encountered the subprime mortgage crisis after the recovery. I look like a lot of Broadway theaters are struggling!"

"Nancy, let someone check which group this land belongs to now. This old commercial building where the theater is located should be demolished!"

"Ah, Simon, what do you mean?"

Nancy Davis is really confused this time, this land? 4

Simon smiled and said: "This place is not only very artistic, but also close to the financial circle of Wall Street. I will build a Xinghai Building here in the future as my headquarters." Simon had already thought about it, a comprehensive commercial housing skyscrapers.

The New York branch of Xinghai Pictures, the headquarters of Xingchen Records, the headquarters of the Nine-headed Bird Fund and the headquarters of companies such as the future are located in this skyscraper in Tribeca.

In the future, the house prices here will be more expensive than the Upper East Side of Manhattan. Sure enough, the price of the place where the stars live will rise faster!

"Build a skyscraper here? That's..." Nancy Davis just wanted to say that it was an investment of hundreds of millions of dollars, but immediately thought of the nine-headed bird fund's $1 billion 10x leverage to short the two-bedroom stock , it is indeed possible for him.

"The chaos in the market has already appeared, and the stocks of the two houses will become waste paper. Wait, the consequences of the subprime mortgage crisis will cause the stock market to plummet like mercury. The end of the year or the beginning of next year is the time for our first harvest. At that time, if you can, short the Dow Jones directly,” Simon seemed very dull, but when the stock market fell, it should not be easy to find a betting institution.

Nancy Davis nodded, now absolutely trusting Simon.

"Since you think this time will trigger a global economic depression? We can indeed deploy it in advance. After all, if we deploy one day earlier, we will have an extra income!" Nancy Davis is a good executor.

Simon nodded, and suddenly asked, "Is there anything unusual about the Madoff Investment Fund that made you pay attention before?"

Nancy Davis shook her head and explained, "The Madoff Investment Fund just lowered the yield for the quarter!"

Simon can't deny it. It seems that he will have to wait until next year to see the collapse of this century's giant scam. When those investors need to find this guy to get their funds back, it will be his doom.

"26 Dresses" is the third film released this year produced by Xinghai Pictures, and the schedule is 11.18.

Emily Blunt recently finished filming "Sunshine Wash" and is about to join the cast of Scott Rudin's "Child Abuse Doubt."

Simon Pike hugs Emily Blunt in the bathroom bidet at the New York Hilton.

"Simon, is No Country For Old Men starting overseas?" Emily Blunt asked.

"Yes, it's being released. The North American box office has seven or eight million dollars," Simon said with a smile. "Spartan 300 Warriors" has exceeded 400 million dollars worldwide, and now "No Country for Old Men" is also doing well.

Income from "The Devil Wears Prada" in the home entertainment market, such as DVD and TV broadcasts, is also coming in one after another. No wonder film companies look at the home entertainment market like this, and it is true that small investment yields big returns. Sustained income is still very important to the company. of.

Emily Blunt turned around, put her arms around Simon's neck, kissed him, and then said jealously, "You and Jessica Alba were photographed together by reporters in Germany!"

"Uh, happened to meet!"

"Well, Jessica Alba has a boyfriend," said Emily Blunt, smiling.

"There are more scandals about you in the newspapers now!"

"Never mind," Simon said, wrapping his arms around Emily Blunt's waist and kissing the girl's lips.

The next day, Simon got up from Emily Blunt's warm bed and was back in Los Angeles that day.

Because, a major event in Hollywood that was almost forgotten by Simon happened at this time.
