Chapter 377 Envy

Remember in one second [End of the God Station] Mobile phone user input address: m.xinwanben.com

At seven o'clock, Sophia Fisher got up on time when she heard the ticking of the alarm clock.

I went to see my son next door first. I flew to New York from Europe yesterday, probably because of the long commute. The little guy said that he was not feeling well at night, so he called a private doctor to check at home overnight, and there was no problem, so he was relieved.

He touched his son's forehead softly, stood by the bed and looked contentedly for a moment, then turned to the next door to see his daughter.

Two children are everything to her.

However, she does not spoil her children uncontrollably.

In Europe, children are not allowed to sleep in from the age of six and wake up at seven o'clock every day. When I first arrived in North America, I needed to get rid of the jet lag for a while, and I planned to let the two little guys sleep until eight o'clock.

Parents are out of bed, and the elderly always get very little sleep.

Preparing breakfast with my mother and discussing buying a boat for my father.

Of course, I don’t need to use it for fishing, but as a fisherman all my life, my father would be at a loss if he left the boat for too long. When he was in Geneva, he had to drive a small boat for a day on Lake Geneva. If there is a lake, I am very happy to hear that it is by the sea.

The events of that year have caused some estrangement between her and her parents, but after so many years, she has no resentment, or, there is not much resentment at all, it can only be said that the ideas between the two generations are different. Her parents love her, and they even feel sorry for her all the time. She knows that she also cares about her parents.

It's just hard to show intimacy anymore.

After breakfast, two interviews were conducted in person in the morning, and the family also needed to hire a full-time maid and a tutor.

She is very cautious about hiring people, especially taking care of her family.

When I was spotted by the little man, I heard that he was severely investigated, but I was actually dissatisfied. Later, he helped him manage the property, and all hired maids and servants still had to hire a detective company to do background checks.

After getting acquainted, Janet occasionally asked if this was necessary, and Janet told her that it was something Simon said.

A couple hired a maid. The couple treated each other very well, and even loaned her a lot of money. They just hoped that the other party would be considerate and take good care of their family and children. As a result, the maid actually committed a crime of gambling and stealing, and was imprisoned. Later, she stole the owner's belongings to pay the gambling debt. She wanted to cover it up and set a fire. As a result, the hostess and two young children were burned to death. .

Hearing this story, she immediately checked the maid who took care of her parents and children. She was not very relieved, and checked it a second time.

Fortunately no problem.

Same this time.

Before coming to the United States, she asked Angela Ahrendts, the head of Gucci in the United States, to help find candidates. After a careful selection, she got two, both white women, and they themselves, including their families, have no history of bad deeds. , as well as good reputation from previous employers.

Because she needed to be close to her two children, she insisted on arranging for the tutor to undergo a psychological test.

Of course, the salaries of both are not low.

However, she has no financial troubles now. The little man often looks like a bad boss in his words, but he has never treated her badly in terms of salary.

Yesterday I invited the Simon and his wife to come to the house for lunch, and it was near noon, and began to prepare for it again.

For Sunday's sake, neither Simon nor Janet worked, so they arrived at Sophia Fisher's house at twelve o'clock on time. It was an official visit, and I brought gifts for the two children, a set of Lego bricks for the boy and a beautiful white furry bear puppet for the girl.

The two children were taught very well by Sophia, and they thanked them politely after receiving the gift without being reminded by their mother.

Janet obviously liked the two little guys very much, and when she handed the fur bear toy to Gemma, she couldn't help but hugged the little girl and kissed it a few times, looking like an auntie.

After greeting, everyone came directly to the restaurant.

A long table, Simon and Janet sitting on one side, Sophia's family sitting on the side.

Sophia personally distributed lunch for everyone, sat down in the seat opposite Simon, and added: "There is still a mushroom soup to wait for a while."

Janet noticed that Daniel looked sullen on the opposite side, and asked, "Danny doesn't seem to be feeling well, is it okay?"

Sophia reached out and touched her son's forehead again, and said, "It should be because of the jet lag, it will be fine in a few days."

"Have you called the doctor to check?"

Sophia nodded: "I called it last night."

Having said that, Sophia saw that her son still looked like she couldn't lift her spirits. She leaned over and took the initiative to help the little guy put on the napkin, and then kissed her son on the cheek before sitting down again. But he ignored Gemma next to Daniel. The little girl put on the napkin herself without the help of her mother.

Janet looked at the situation just now, obviously a little envious, but unfortunately her stomach still didn't move during this time.

He couldn't help but glanced sideways at Simon beside him, and was surprised to find that there was a bit of daze in his eyes.

It seems to be envious.

So he reached out under the table and gently poked the man's waist.

Simon was poked by Janet, reacted, and gave the woman a look like what are you poking at me, picked up the cutlery nonchalantly, noticed Sophia's parents next to the little girl, took the initiative to look over, and found a topic.

Daniel and Gemma

There is no problem speaking English, but the old couple can only speak French.

Simon also took the initiative to speak French.

After a few words, Sophia's father talked about buying a boat, and became a little closer to this young man who was said to be very prominent but would take the initiative to talk to him.

Simon wasn't keen on boats and yachts, he didn't like the insecurity of being at sea.

However, he still talks about this topic skillfully, and unknowingly also mentioned his trip to Antarctica when he was in Australia at the end of last year.

Hearing Simon describe the glaciers, penguins and polar day in Antarctica, Gemma across the dining table looked very longing, and when Simon's words fell, he looked at his mother expectantly: "Mom, can I go to Antarctica? "

"That's not good, you're too young now."

"So, next year?"

"Not next year, at least, well, until you're 18."

The little girl frowned, thought for a moment and said, "Can I directly celebrate my 18th birthday next year?"

Sophia smiled and shook her head: "No, birthdays can only be celebrated one by one."

Janet saw the little girl's disappointed expression and said, "As long as little Gemma listens to her mother, I can let someone shoot some videotapes from Antarctica, so that you can see penguins and glaciers on TV, and maybe even more Aurora. In this way, it will be Gemma's birthday present next year."

The little girl glanced at her mother, saw that she had no objection, nodded, but immediately asked, "What is aurora?"

"Aurora, um, is a very beautiful light suspended in the sky at night."

"Can we see the aurora here at night?"

"Probably, it should only be found in the South Pole and the North Pole."

Janet said, and looked at Simon uncertainly.

Simon nodded and said, "It's true that only the South Pole and the North Pole have it."

The little girl looked over with curious eyes and persevered: "Why only the South Pole and North Pole have the aurora?"

Simon didn't know how to explain to the little girl the discharge phenomenon after the solar particles were attracted by the strong magnetic field of the earth's poles. He raised his chin towards Sophia and said, "This, can you ask your mother?"

The little girl continued to shift the target: "Mom mom?"

"Baby, mom doesn't know either. I'll let you know when mom finds out, okay?"

The little girl nodded earnestly, turned back to Janet, and reminded: "Aunt Janet, Gemma's birthday this year is May 19, and it will be the same next year."

Janet couldn't help curving the corners of her mouth and said, "I remember."

Hearing that the aunt across from him and his sister had agreed on a birthday present for next year, Daniel looked up at Janet, and then at his mother.

Sophia gently grabbed the napkin on her son's chest and wiped the corners of his mouth, but she just smiled and didn't mean to help.

Janet didn't wait for the shy little boy to speak, and asked with a smile, "What gift does Danny want?"

The little boy then looked at Sophia again, and after receiving his mother's encouraging eyes, he said, "A train, a train with rails."

Janet understood and said, "Okay, next year, I will give Danny a train toy, the kind that can cover the whole room. So, when is Danny's birthday?"

"July 23."

Daniel said, his eyes showed excitement, but he glanced at his mother again, with a bit of guilt in his expression, probably because his mother had rejected this request.

Sophia smiled and patted her son's head without objection.

There was a creamy scent in the air, Sophia remembered it again, and said, "By the way, there is mushroom soup, you guys go ahead first."

After saying that, he got up and walked to the kitchen.

After a while, Sophia brought in the mushroom soup, put it on the dining table, and used a small bowl to serve soup for everyone.

However, the woman filled the first bowl of soup and handed it to Simon. Probably because it was too hot, she let go of her hand in advance when she saw Simon reaching for it again. So a bowl of hot soup was accidentally dumped in front of Simon, and most of the soup was water. All splattered on Simon's suit and trousers.

It's okay to wear two layers of clothes on the upper body. Although it is autumn, Simon is still wearing only a pair of trousers. The hot soup seeps through the fabric on his thighs, which directly makes Simon take a breath.

There was a rush.

After the two women gathered around Simon and wiped it carefully, Sophia was very apologetic when she saw that the man was still in a mess. Thinking of the heat of the mushroom soup, she said, "How about you rinse it with cold water first?"

Before Simon spoke, Janet nodded and said, "That's it, I'll call someone to bring a set of clothes over."

Seeing that the two women had agreed, Simon stopped talking and followed Sophia upstairs.

Because her mind was a little confused, Sophia hurriedly pushed open a door, only to remember that this was her bedroom. But it was not easy to replace it, so he led Simon into the door, took him to the bathroom door, and said, "It's there, just change it inside."

The surrounding arrangement and the unique feminine scent in the air made Simon sure that this was Sophia's bedroom.

Inexplicably gave birth to a strong impulse.

The moment he entered the door, Simon grabbed the woman's wrist and pulled her in.

Sophia was taken into the bathroom by Simon in a daze, watching the man lock the door behind him. After turning around, there was some kind of blazing blaze in his eyes. Instantly, his heart felt a little tight, and he subconsciously raised his hand and said, "Simon, no, here, now, cannot."

Back off while talking,

until he hits the wall.

Simon looked at the woman's panicked appearance, his thoughts regained clarity, he shook his head vigorously, took a deep breath, turned around and opened the door again, and said softly, "Go out."

Sophia was stunned again, noticing that the little man regained his clear eyes, relaxed, walked over carefully, walked past the man, stopped, and whispered: "I, I will go to Manhattan these days, you know , the fashion week Gucci brand event."

Milan Fashion Week is over, and the Gucci show is also done in Italy.

However, for the sake of brand promotion, although there will be no catwalks at New York Fashion Week, Gucci will hold a brand marketing event, similar to the original Gucci night.

When Simon heard the woman's words, he paused, replied softly, and said more slowly, "You go out first, and I'm sorry I scared you just now."

"No, it's okay."

Sophia said, with a strange pity in her heart for no reason. She looked up at the little man next to her, reached out and stroked his face. She felt that Simon's body was obviously stiff, and instinctively noticed that something was wrong, and quickly hurried. Withdrew his hand, said nothing, turned and left the bathroom.

Simon changed his clothes in the bathroom and rinsed with cold water, and someone from the manor soon sent a set of clothes over.

During the episode, no one else noticed except Simon and Sophia.

There was no accident in the subsequent lunch, and he was rinsed with cold water in time. In addition, Simon was in good health, and he recovered quickly without any other treatment afterwards.

After the weekend, the time also entered October 1990.

There are actually a lot of things to do in New York this time.

There are mainly two acquisitions, especially the preparations for the Bell Atlantic acquisition, which are in full swing.

If Panasonic's acquisition of mca continues to stalemate, Simon plans to officially launch in early November, first making an offer to mca, and then making an offer to Bell Atlantic at the same time after the agreement of intent is signed.

Buying a multi-billion-dollar company, especially one like Bell Atlantic, which is also subject to federal telecommunications regulations, can be complicated and laborious.

Just in the early stage of preparation, a special law firm is required to investigate the legal obstacles that may be encountered in the acquisition and formulate a response plan, and the acquisition team also needs to investigate and evaluate Bell Atlantic's balance sheet information in order to make an accurate quotation. After completing the preliminary investigation work, it is necessary to formulate a targeted acquisition plan and a backup plan for unexpected situations such as bidders.

In addition, the issue of raising billions of dollars in huge funds also needs to be treated with caution.

In addition, the whole preparation process also needs to pay great attention to confidentiality issues. Therefore, Simon only gave the team more than one month of preparation time, which is actually very nervous. Cersei Capital, Raybold Law Firm, and another hired accounting firm have been non-stop for the two-line acquisition plan proposed by Simon during this period.

Of course, as long as the acquisition is successful, the combined tens of millions of dollars in consulting service fees for the two acquisitions is definitely worth all the efforts of the team throughout the process.
