Hollywood Hunter - Chapter 1689
Simon just knew that a group of girls came to Los Angeles, and he didn’t want to pay too much attention to other details, it was all arranged by the people below. Hearing Lady A mention it, she just smiled and shook her head: “No, I’ve been so busy in recent days, but I don’t have time to deal with them.”
Simon’s busy schedule is mainly due to the birthdays of the six little guys who were born together last year.
It is said that after celebrating Inas’ little Toby’s birthday in New York yesterday, Simon flew back overnight, but tonight, he still has to set off again, and the destination is Milan, Italy.
Carla Bruni put her little one Christopher’s birthday in a mountain mansion on the shores of Lake Como.
It is also said that the autumn scenery in Milan is very beautiful now.
Barbara.
Simon didn’t object either.
When girl A heard Simon mention this, she paused and said, “Boss, there’s no need to let yourself run around like this.”
Simon opened an investment plan for Nokia’s plan to expand the Latin American market. Hearing this, he looked up at Alison and said with a smile, “Aside from other things, I still like people in Los Angeles in the morning and night in Los Angeles. The feeling of being able to stay in Milan, I personally think, this is actually a very romantic thing. A, you must know that if a person’s life is only trapped in one or a few places, it is really a very difficult thing. Sad thing, the world is so big.”
The man said that, of course, girl A had no problem, she lowered her head and started to help her boss tidy up the desk.
Simon glanced at the girl opposite, smiled, and motioned to his side: “Come, stand here.”
Understand that this is called red sleeves and incense.
Lady A obediently turned around the desk and stood beside her boss.
Simon continued to flip through the documents with one hand, and wrapped his arms around the waist of the girl beside him with the other, feeling Xinran’s daughter Xiang, and deliberately sighed: “This is also a great joy in life.”
Lady A wanted to snuggle up, but, without the man’s orders, she just stood there obediently, hesitated a little, and whispered, “Boss, just now, I was jealous.”
“If you take the initiative to admit your mistakes, then you won’t be punished.”
“…”
Xiaoxiao was silent for a while, but Girl A still said, “You will be punished.”
“Then, go to Milan with me at night and punish you on the way.”
“Um.”
He agreed with a little satisfaction in his tone, glanced at the documents that his boss was reading, and took the initiative to find a topic, so as to delay the time he could be by his side: “Boss, Nokia has developed rapidly in recent years, but you seem to be Not satisfied?”
Nokia has surpassed Motorola a few years ago to become the world’s largest mobile phone manufacturer, and now it has occupied more than 40% of the global mobile phone market.
Not only that, Nokia is now the world’s largest communication base station manufacturer, also owning more than 30% of the global market share.
It stands to reason that with such achievements, it is difficult for anyone to find fault with Nokia.
However, as a person next to her, Girl A can clearly understand that her boss is obviously not very satisfied.
Simon heard what Girl A said, nodded, sorted it out a little, and said, “Nokia, um… Some positioning of the two major business segments is reversed.”
In fact, I can still guess some thoughts of my boss, but girl A pretends not to know: “What?”
“Mobile phones and base stations are two major business segments,” Simon said. “Let’s talk about mobile phones first. Although Nokia’s market share continues to expand, on the other hand, the average price of its mobile phone products is falling rapidly. It is beneficial to occupy more markets, but it also means a rapid decline in the profit level of a single machine. I don’t want Nokia to become a cheap mobile phone manufacturer. Then, in terms of base stations, it is just the opposite. However, I hope that Nokia can pass the low cost in this regard. price strategy, occupy more market, and snip other competitors. You must know that the base station business actually represents the standard formulation of communication technology. The larger the market share of this part, the more fundamental we will have in the entire mobile communication industry. standard advantage.”
After listening to her boss, girl A nodded her head, but said, “However, boss, Nokia’s choice is also in line with the market trend.”
Simon nodded slightly.
Of course I understand.
The current 3G network is still under construction, and the popularity of the mobile Internet is still very low. Therefore, semi-smart phones such as the iBerry produced by Tinkerbell are far from reaching the mainstream of the market.
Feature phones are the mainstream.
Traditional feature phones, even under the promotion of the Westeros system, are gradually adding digital music player functions or camera functions. However, due to factors such as price, similar products are also only in the early stage of promotion. Relatively simple ordinary function phones that are only used for making calls or sending and receiving more text messages are the mainstream.
In such a market environment, it is not easy for feature phones to differentiate themselves.
Therefore, in addition to ensuring solid basic functions, a low-price strategy has become the best solution for a mobile phone manufacturer to expand the market.
Nokia is exactly that.
Although there are some high-end flagship products, Nokia now has more than 40% of the global market, most of which are made up of low-priced basic feature phones, and Nokia continues to launch cheaper mobile phones, so it keeps pulling down Average price for the entire cell phone business.
Correspondingly, the average profit level is also declining.
On the other hand, the reason why Nokia, together with several other communication manufacturers in Northern Europe, can stand out in a small corner is also because its own market environment factors have created the rapid development of mobile communication, and in the transition stage from analog communication to digital communication, Nokia , Ericsson and other manufacturers are lucky to get a large number of digital communication technology patents.
Until many years later, these manufacturers are actually still taking this part of the money.
Compared with the low price strategy of mobile phone products, the relatively high price strategy of Nokia’s base station business is also due to the monopoly of technology.
The West does not have the habit of later China that once a certain technology is broken through, it will try its best to make products at the price of cabbage. Since it has a technological advantage, of course, it will make more money.
This is again what Simon doesn’t want.
After all, Simon knew that the major communication equipment manufacturers in the West were pressed and beaten by several major Chinese giants.
In general, the pricing strategy that seems to be in line with the market choice, with Simon as a latecomer, is obviously not a long-term solution.
Perhaps the low price trend of feature phones is difficult to reverse, but in terms of basic base station equipment, Simon feels that it can be changed.
After continuing to chat with Girl A for a while, Simon made a decision, just asking for Europe, and this time he would turn to Finland by the way and have a good talk with Joma Ollila, the head of Nokia.
After a day’s work, Simon returned to Cape Dumay Manor, had dinner, and set off again at around eight o’clock. He boarded his Boeing 767 at Los Angeles International Airport for a direct flight to Milan, Italy.
The journey of about 12 hours, including the time difference of 9 hours, arrived in Milan on the afternoon of October 21st.
A certain little guy’s birthday party happens to be in the evening.
Carla Bruni is Italian. In her early years, her family tried to avoid gangsters. That’s right, Italy was the same in those days, or now, Italy. Many top pyramids chose to emigrate because of the country’s deteriorating social order. Now, Returning to his own country again, there is no problem at all.
The women and children of Simon Westeros, at first glance, are the richest man in the world, and a super fat sheep. One vote can easily eat for ten lifetimes.
The problem is, even now, the underworld of Italy continues to spread the ‘Atrocities of Westeros’, that is a great demon king who is so cruel that an entire huge family is directly evaporated from the world, such a guy, you go Kidnapping and blackmailing, what you get is not money, it is more likely to be a ticket to hell, and it is still the kind that brings the whole family together.
The result of the whole thing is that even though Simon’s children are scattered all over the world now, something has yet to happen to him.
Actually not absolutely none.
Some little thieves with insufficient brains and not fully considering the consequences cannot do such a thing at all under the strict security system of the Westeros family. And the underground forces that have the ability to do these things are very aware of the consequences, so they will not do it at all.
Of course, even so, Simon has never relaxed the security of himself and the people around him.
After all, when you get to where you are now, you must have enough awareness.
For example, Simon is definitely not going to take any convertibles now.
Autumn in Milan is indeed beautiful.
On the shore of Lake Como in the north of the city, in autumn, the fiery red or golden or dark green is intertwined, and being in it is like entering a fairy tale world.
The birthday party starts in the evening.
Although there is no energy like Sophia, but as a fashion celebrity, especially in the past two years, he has also put on a certain label, and even the mother is more expensive than the child. Carla Bruni has indeed invited many VIPs from various circles in Europe to participate in her son’s performance. 1st birthday party.
To some extent, this is also an announcement.
Before that, some things about the little guy, even though many people were well aware of it, were still separated by something.
Now, the little guy’s 1st birthday is not only a big fanfare, but Simon Westeros, the father, also attended in person, which is obviously a public recognition of the identities of Bruni mother and son. In the future, this big and small will only change. Further ups and downs.
Compared with the six women at the same time last year, besides Heidi Klum, who was kicked out, Carla Bruni is also the one with the most ideas of her own. The moniker ‘Bitch Eater’ is not for nothing. Someone once said that taking Carla Bruni is like a man wearing the most precious Rolex watch, which is a symbol of status. However, on the other hand, why is someone not the prey of the ‘Bitch Eater’?
Simon’s attitude is also very clear.
Except for the closest women, for others, even if he has his children, he does not necessarily have to be permanently bound. If he wants to leave, there is no problem.
However, if you don’t plan to leave and enjoy the benefits of being a woman in Westeros, then you have to be quiet.
Otherwise, Simon will not be polite.
On Carla Bruni’s side, although this woman obviously has a lot of ideas, after the child was born, she came to Europe on purpose, lived here most of the time, and used Simon’s big tiger skin to do a lot of work. There are few things, but for Simon’s red line, the former supermodel is quite close.
This makes Simon very satisfied.
The lively birthday party continued until late at night, and a titular little protagonist had already fallen asleep, and the carnival continued.
Italian parties are always lively.
Moreover, even though Carla Bruni was always by Simon’s side, with obvious intentions, Simon’s pocket was unknowingly stuffed with some notes with the phone number on it.
This is what Girl A gave to her boss the next morning.
Inside a mountain villa in an autumn morning.
A certain woman drank a lot of alcohol last night and was tossed into the early hours of the morning. Obviously, it is impossible to get up too early today.
Simon still only slept until seven o’clock.
Probably because of the time difference.
However, my body is very good, and I don’t feel any fatigue.
For breakfast, choose a terrace of the mountain villa, just facing the lake, the mountains and the rising sun from near to far.
After having breakfast with her boss, Lady A took out a dozen notes with phone numbers on them.
This is what I found last night when I was sorting out my boss’s coat.
Simon also flipped through it with great interest, and girl A next to him was helping with memories.
Speaking of which, Italian girls are still very much in line with Simon’s aesthetics, such as a certain golden rose cave princess who is still in the collection.
Moreover, over the years, Simon also found that Italian girls can be divided into two types, one is Latin style, with a hot body and darker skin, and the other, which should be regarded as Eastern European style, the biggest feature is that the skin is very white, The facial features are soft and very close to the aesthetics of the Orientals. For example, the Princess of the Golden Rose Cave is a typical example.
Obviously, Simon prefers the latter.
As for the once-famous Monica Bellucci, it’s probably somewhere in between.
In addition, the more well-known Italian models are often inclined to the latter style. After all, if you want to walk on the runway, you need to have a fishy figure, and a Latin girl with a bulge and a back is not suitable.
Discussing with girl A like this is a rare leisure time.
In the end, of course, nothing came of it.
After all, the guests last night were basically the result of a woman’s screening, and obviously she would not deliberately invite the opposite **** who might become her enemy.
So it wasn’t until after nine o’clock that Bruni got up, and when the woman had eaten the late breakfast, everyone hurried to Lake Como to go boating and fishing together, and lunch was served directly on the boat. Of course, I would definitely not bring a little guy who just turned one year old.
After playing in Milan for a day, Simon set off again early the next morning and flew to Helsinki, the capital of Finland.
I also only stayed here for one day, and discussed some issues that Simon had been thinking about with Yooma Ollila. The next day, I set off again and flew back to New York, because October 23rd was another little guy’s birthday. .
