Chapter 410 (1/2)

In order to follow the memory of the avenger building and build a westero building in Manhattan, Simon successively bought a block of property and land between 59th and 60th streets east of Madison Avenue in Manhattan a few years ago, totaling six buildings.

It was impossible for the six buildings to be emptied at one time in a short time. At that time, it was not time to build the buildings. Simon took care of those buildings as commercial properties and signed two to three-year leases with most of the residents.

The lease will expire in the next year or two, and Simon's current wealth is enough to support the construction of the westero building.

So, hearing James' question, Simon nodded and explained, ”the design of the building has been going on for the last two years. Now we start the preparation and break the ground by the end of next year, but the main building will take about five years. It is estimated that the new millennium will be approaching when the later decoration is officially entered. With such a long cycle, even if we need to invest more than $1 billion, we can easily raise funds. ”

Maybe every boy has a dream of building a mansion in his heart.

The Rockefeller Center, the Empire State Building, the twin towers and so on should all have similar motives behind the scenes.

James could not help thinking, knowing that Simon's mind had been decided, he still advised: ”Simon, it's not just a matter of money. Have you ever thought that a 2000 foot tall building, a 100 story building, and millions of square feet of interior space need to be filled

”Of course I have, Jim. I also know that many buildings often identify some tenants before they start construction. However, from now on, it will take at least seven or eight years for the building to be completed and put into use. Therefore, I don't think we need to worry too much about this. We can look for residents while building. And, worst of all, our own company can use the building. ”

After the meeting, the construction plan of westero building was formally put on the agenda, and Janet was in charge of it.

In order to achieve the most perfect architectural effect in every detail of the building, Simon didn't make a budget ceiling at all, and now he has enough strength to pay more than $1 billion.

While Simon was busy with the affairs of the Westeros system, in this may of 1991, there were other big things happening.

The two major ruling parties in the United States began to lay out the U.S. presidential election in 1992.

On the Republican side, relying on the momentum gained by the Gulf War, George W. Bush almost has no suspense about becoming the Republican candidate for the next presidential election.

On the Democratic side, although it won the mid-term election in 1990, the Democratic Party is faced with the dilemma of ”no general in Sichuan”. Until now, there is no presidential candidate who can compete with George Bush.

As we all know, American politicians participate in presidential elections. Generally speaking, they can only have one chance in their lifetime, not including re-election.

Once it fails, it will be even more difficult to win the Nomination within the party.

Therefore, some of the leaders in the Democratic Party who have enough prestige and strength and are interested in the presidency, for fear of George W. Bush's victory in the Gulf War, choose to give way one after another.

Even if the general trend is on the Republican side, there will always be someone to challenge George Bush.

So this may, a young politician named Bill Clinton, who was the governor of Arkansas, and New York governor Marlow gummer, who was too old to wait, announced that he would take part in the 1992 US presidential election.

However, Simon is most concerned about rose Perot, a tycoon with a fortune of more than 2 billion US dollars, who is at the top of the US 400 rich list.

Ross Perot was very dissatisfied with the two major ruling parties in the United States, so he said that he would form his own party to participate in the 1992 presidential election.

Simon remembers very clearly that in the original time and space, although the domestic reputation fell sharply due to internal affairs, George Bush still had an advantage over Bill Clinton.

However, it was Ross Perot, who was also a conservative candidate, who won a large number of votes from George W. Bush with a record 19% support rate from the third camp, which led to the failure of George W. Bush's re-election.

In other words, Bill Clinton, who had little hope of reaching the top, entered the White House unexpectedly because he was suspected of ”not getting the right place”. After eight years in power, he was surrounded by all kinds of scandals, and even became one of the few presidents impeached by Congress in the history of the United States.

It's very similar to Simon's memory of someone who came from a completely layman and stepped into the White House.

Coincidentally, another one who lost the election happened to be Clinton's wife, Hillary Clinton.

In a word, this is probably a kind of political ecology in the United States.

Those well-established political families or highly respected senior politicians, such as George W. Bush at this time, have no similar ”trouble”.Although Simon's political layout focuses on congress, he will not spend too much energy in the White House.

This time, however, Simon told James Leibold to establish contact with the Clintons in private, promising to fully support each other in the election.

It is unwise for Clinton to make such a promise before he has been nominated by the party.

However, the icing on the cake is never as good as sending charcoal in the snow. If you want to get more, you have to take more risks. Since the focus of the layout is not in the White House, it is natural to invest in a potential stock that is not optimistic. It will not have much impact on Simon and westrow system.

Greenwich, Connecticut.

Simon is planning a birthday party in the manor here. Tomorrow is the eighth birthday of Sophia's daughter, Gemma fishy. Sofia's apartment in Greenwich is not big, so Janet takes the initiative to lend her manor to little Gemma for a birthday party.

In addition, a documentary about Antarctica will be shown in the manor tomorrow night.

The documentary began production last year and was finally named ”ice and snow world” with a budget of $3 million. The documentary is not mainly about penguins, but mainly about the scenery of Antarctica.

At the same time, after the ”Premiere” tomorrow night as a birthday gift for little Gemma, the documentary will be launched in North American Theaters next Friday.

As long as we can get a good response, with the accumulated experience of the first documentary, Simon's memory of the ”emperor penguin diary” project will start again.

May is just the new year's American drama promotion season. Since it is necessary to strengthen the layout of Denise entertainment in the TV field, Simon has also come to New York in recent days to personally participate in the selection and preparation of some projects.

Janet couldn't come because she was pregnant. Although it was a weekend, Simon didn't return to the west coast. Instead, he stayed here and planned to attend little Gemma's birthday party before leaving.

In the evening, Sophia checked the arrangement of the housekeeper Alice and the girls for tomorrow's birthday party. She came to the study on the second floor. Simon was sitting at his desk and reading some papers carefully.

Ben was going to sit down opposite Simon. Seeing the man look up and make a gesture after seeing her, Sophia hesitated a little, then turned to Simon opposite the desk, and was held in his arms by the man.

I was a little worried about what Simon would do to make sure that he was just embracing himself.
