Hollywood New Century

"I didn't expect to meet you here, you are so beautiful recently!" Ivanka and Simon sat opposite each other in the bar of the Langham Hotel.

"Fortunately, you also know that the previous writers' strike was a lot of trouble, and our company couldn't carry out projects either," Simon said, looking at Ivanka, the model's figure, and it looked really good.

"I heard that you and Forest City Group, a large real estate company in New York, are cooperating on the Atlantic Plaza project in Brooklyn. Xinghai Entertainment has also entered the real estate market, and it is still this year?" Ivanka found it difficult to understand, after all, the real estate industry is now Big dive.

Simon shook his head and said with a smile: "It's not Xinghai Entertainment's foray into real estate, it's the Nine Head Bird Sports and Entertainment Company under the Nine Head Bird Fund that acquired the New Jersey Nets and Brooklyn Stadium projects!"

"New Jersey Nets? Brooklyn Stadium project, isn't that the core project of Atlantic Plaza?" Ivanka's eyes widened. It was no secret that the Forest City Group was looking for investors everywhere. It was unexpected that Simon Pike was looking at that. an NBA team.

"It's normal for me to be interested in movies. After all, I'm a part of Hollywood, but I'm also interested in sports. It's also my dream to have my own NBA team," Simon took a sip of wine and continued:

"Now, the dream has come true!"

"Oh," Ivanka smiled and nodded in response: "That's it, then I congratulate you."

"Thank you!" Simon said, putting down the wine glass in his hand and asking, "Why did you appear here?"

After all, your Manhattan residence is not far from here!

"It's nothing, I took a set of fashion photos in this hotel, you know, I have always had a model career!" Ivanka said, shaking her hair.

Simon Parker nodded, Ivanka is indeed a signed model of the elite model agency.

"By the way, I remember the heir to the Kushner Group who had a good relationship with you before?" Simon recalled last year that the Kushner Group acquired the building at 666 Fifth Avenue in New York in a leveraged transaction as the headquarters of the Kushner Group Building. What a sight.

now what? The high debt instantly became a drag on the group.

"How did you say Jared?" Ivanka frowned. It's not that she didn't know about Jared Kushner's dedication, but she just met Blake Live from "Gossip Girl" before. Li, let her tell Simon something, but it went to hell.

"It's nothing, just asking, after all, I also bought a piece of land on Leonard Street nearby, and I'm going to invest in building a skyscraper as the headquarters of Xinghai Group," Simon smiled, you haven't fallen in love yet?

"Build a building?" Ivanka nodded blankly. Is this the reason for refusing to cooperate with her father?

"Midtown Manhattan is also very good, but the price is too expensive, and it is more affordable in downtown," Simon said. After all, the World Trade Center in the 9/11 incident was downtown.

“A few days ago, Abu Dhabi Investment Authority, the sovereign wealth fund of the United Arab Emirates, spent $800 million to buy a 75% stake in the famous landmark Chrysler Building in New York from the RB Mitsubishi consortium. Recently, the sovereign wealth funds of Kuwait and Qatar jointly The Boston Real Estate Company made an offer for the General Motors Building in Manhattan through Goldman Sachs Group," Ivanka said with a smile, and the General Motors Building used to belong to the Trump Real Estate Group.

"Alas, the General Motors Building has an excellent location overlooking Central Park and the Plaza Hotel. It is the Pearl Tower in Manhattan. The rent has always been the leader of Manhattan's commercial rents, but since it is an investor from the Middle East royal family, it is also It's not surprising," Simon smiled. This is more rich than the RB consortium in the late 1980s, but there are fewer people, and the money only belongs to the royal family of the emirate. In terms of size, it is not comparable to the RB economy that is a soldier.

"The income of the Nine-headed Bird Fund has already exceeded 5 billion US dollars. I thought you would be interested in the General Motors Building?" Ivanka quipped. It is a top commercial building with an occupancy rate of over 95%.

"The valuation of the General Motors Building is now no less than 2.5 billion US dollars. There are all kinds of big-name fashion stores in it. I like it," Simon pouted and smiled.

"I don't dare to compete with the oil billionaires in the Middle East. Besides, how much does it cost to build a complex here?"

The General Motors Building covers a large area, with an area of ​​1.8 million square feet. It is indeed expensive, but in the future, Tribeca will be the top wealthy area that surpasses the Upper East Side. The appreciation potential is much stronger than there, isn't it?

Moreover, Simon remembers that in the next five years, the Zhang Xin family of SOHO Group acquired a 40% stake in the General Motors Building owned by Middle Eastern investors. At that time, the building was valued at $3.4 billion.

"Really!" Of course Ivanka doesn't believe what Simon said, but she has no confidence in this kind of return on investment. After all, neither Nine Birds Fund nor Xinghai Entertainment are based on real estate development.

"The New Jersey Nets will move in after the new stadium is built. By then, there will be two NBA teams in New York. I really want to see how much turmoil you can make in the sports world in New York!" Ivan Card is indeed very interested in Simon Pike, who can be like a duck to water in Hollywood and Wall Street.

"Sports in New York?" Simon smiled disdainfully, "If the Nets are the Knicks, I will disband the team directly!"

"Forget it, don't say it, go dance with me over there," Ivanka said and stood up Ra Simon.

Simon nodded helplessly, and was taken to the dance floor by Ivan Kara. With gentle lighting and beautiful music, the two began to slowly waltz on the dance floor.

"By the way, how much do you know about the modeling circle in New York?" Simon asked face to face, holding the girl's waist.

Ivanka leaned on Simon's shoulder, shook her head after hearing the question, and replied: "I don't know much, I usually take some advertising photos of fashion magazines, and there are not many. As for the modeling agency, There are no requirements for me, my father and the boss of the agency are also friends!"

"Indeed, I should have thought of it long ago," Simon smiled. The modeling circle in New York is crazier than the entertainment circle in Hollywood. How can she come into contact with the unspoken rules of the modeling circle because of her background.

"Why, are you also interested in the fashion circle?" Ivanka felt that the entertainment circle and the fashion circle were very close, not unusual.

"It's okay, anyway, the two circles are similar in many cases," Simon is indeed a little interested in the fashion circle. This is also a huge market. Hollywood has inherent advantages!
