Chapter 123 (1/2)

Whether Lehman Brothers followed suit or not, it did not affect Simon's operation in the stock index futures market. Noah Scott made a special trip from Chicago to repair the relationship, and Simon naturally would not refuse.

In this country, if Simon wants to go further, it is impossible to get rid of the connection with investment banks. Although he still won't trust Noah Scott and Lehman Brothers too much, the information Noah Scott just revealed seems sincere compared with other investment banks that are still silent.

After dinner, Simon and Noah Scott separated and returned to the Plaza Hotel just after 8 p.m.

In the presidential suite on the top floor of the Plaza Hotel.

Janet hung their coats on the hanger, went to the study, saw that the man had sat down by the window with his usual hardcover notebook, leaned over to support on the back of the sofa and asked, ”Simon, what are you going to do?”

Simon holds a still hand bound 16 open notebook, draws lines on white paper with a pencil, and carelessly fills in notes.

Madonna's new album, a dance style album called you can dance, will go on sale next month. Simon had already handed over a song that fits the style of the album. At this time is writing, but another song, Simon intends to be ”vulgar novel” ending song.

However, Simon's mind can't be on these. He just wants to find something in his hand for a while.

Despite Noah Scott's warning that his operation in the stock index futures market has been exposed, Simon finds that he has no way to prevent it from being exposed.

Hearing Janet's question, Simon turned to the woman and said, ”I can't do anything. Simon westero is going to be famous again.”

Janet smiles, turns around the sofa and sits askew beside Simon.

In front of them is the floor glass window overlooking the whole Central Park. At this time, the window is dark, and only the buildings on both sides of the park are bright.

Holding the man's arm and watching him fill in the notes on the score, a moment later, Janet said, ”in fact, there's nothing wrong with exposure. You didn't do anything illegal.”

Simon shook his head and said, ”a 19-year-old earns more than a billion dollars in just a few months. Isn't that illegal enough?”

”Ha ha, it only means that my little man is so good,” Janet came up to Simon and gave him a kiss on the face. She changed the topic and said, ”what do you think of the houses I saw today?”

Simon tried to get rid of his inner powerlessness as much as he could, and then Janet said, ”it's not so good.”

Janet looked forward to it and said, ”I think the penthouse building on 68th street is good. It has a three-story structure with a total area of more than 1200 square meters and faces the Central Park. Although the price of $15 million is a bit high, it's a house on Fifth Avenue. It will definitely appreciate in the future. Even if you don't like the baroque style of the interior, we can redecorate it. ”

Simon followed Janet's description and recalled the Fifth Avenue luxury apartment he had seen during the day.

The top three floors of the 15 storey light gray building built in the 1950s, with a total of 26 rooms, 3 halls, 2 kitchens, 6 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms, with gymnasium, wine cellar, private projection hall and other facilities, noticed that Janet unconsciously changed the metric measurement, Simon said with a smile: ”call the real estate agent tomorrow, and we'll buy this one.”

In the era before Simon's rebirth, the price of such an upper east side apartment close to Central Park was absolutely easy to exceed 100 million yuan.

Fifteen million dollars. Simon doesn't think it's expensive at all.

Of course, at the present time in 1987, US $15 million is absolutely a sky high price. Especially in the case of the recent collapse of the North American stock market, the US property market will also plummet. In Simon's memory, two years later, the famous Empire State Building sold for only $42 million.

Janet saw Simon agreed, but her face showed a little hesitation, and said, ”if you don't like it, let's have a look.”

”Buy it,” Simon said, turning to kiss the woman's face. ”In fact, I don't like the whole Manhattan house very much. Since I want to buy it, one of us must be satisfied.”

Janet flashed a few eyes: ”what kind of house do you like?”

”You know, modern, minimalist, and at the top. I wish I were standing by the window and all the other buildings in my field of vision were under my feet, ”Simon said. Suddenly, his heart moved. He turned the notebook page in his hand, picked up his pencil and drew it quickly. He said slowly,” probably, that's it. ”

Janet curiously came over and waited patiently for a while before she saw a building that should be made of glass fiber reinforced plastics appear on the manuscript.

The overall shape of the building is conical, but the top floors show a platform. Later, Simon also marked a letter on the side. At first, it seemed to be ”a”. Well, it should not be finished, but it soon changed to ”W”.”W” obviously stands for ”Westeros”.

Westero building.

Simon's painting skills can be seen from the original sub shot draft of ”Lola Run”. A few minutes later, some high-rise buildings were sketched around the building. A building standing high on Manhattan Island, much higher than the Empire State Building, appeared on the paper.

When Simon finished painting, Janet couldn't help but take his notebook directly, blinked a few eyes and pointed to the platform at the top of the building: ”this, what is it?”

Simon explained, ”helipad.”

”Well,” Janet said, pausing, ”how tall is it?”

”If I don't want to see the Empire State building outside my bedroom,” Simon thought, ”it should be more than 500 meters.”

Janet had a little fantasy about living in the top floor apartment of a building over 500 meters high. She slowly turned to Simon and said, ”can this really be built?”

”Now that I've made more than one billion dollars in more than five months, it's no problem to build another building,” Simon said. After thinking for a moment, he said, ”start to prepare now, maybe we can start construction in three years. Such a building, including all the expenses of land and so on, 500 million dollars should be enough. Of course, the cost of various internal facilities must also be very large, and there will be maintenance costs in the future. But as long as it can be built, it won't matter if it costs a billion dollars. ”
