Five in the morning.

Without the alarm, Simon still woke up on time. He's been out of bed these days since that money started building positions.

The woman on her body, the fragrance in the bedroom, instantly made Simon realize that this was not his apartment in Century Building.

Being hugged by Janet like a pillow, Simon didn't get up immediately, and looked sideways at the woman who was still sleeping, with a few strands of blond hair slanting on her rosy white face, lips slightly pursed, long eyelashes, and a sleeping state. Lazy and content.

Staring for a moment, Simon also felt an inexplicable peace of mind.

perhaps.

This is one's own 'this peace of mind'.

So he leaned over and kissed Janet gently on the lips, and Simon carefully got out of the woman's embrace.

The layout of the villa has not changed from the last time I left.

After taking a shower, Simon went to the gym to jog for half an hour, took a shower, and it was already six o'clock.

There are not many types of futures in North America at present. Simon is completely betting on the S\u0026P 500 index futures, which he can predict and which is also the most traded in the market.

S\u0026P 500 futures, launched by the Chicago Mercantile Exchange in 1982, currently trade between 80,000 and 100,000 contracts per day, occasionally breaking 100,000. Therefore, Simon's "butterfly" hiding in it will not be too conspicuous, which is also the source of his confidence that the S\u0026P 500 curve in the next few months will not deviate too much from the data in memory.

Since the electronic trading system has not yet appeared, stock index futures are mainly very old-fashioned manual trading on the floor, Monday to Friday, 8:30 am to 3:15 pm.

Chicago is in the U.S. Central Time Zone, two hours ahead of Los Angeles. Simon's side is at six o'clock in the morning, and the Chicago Mercantile Exchange is close to opening.

After making a pot of coffee for himself, Simon came to the study, sat down behind his large desk, and called Noah Scott with a cup of coffee.

The two were talking in a low voice about the trading plan after the market opened today. Janet floated in lazily from the door in her pajamas, and when she saw Simon, she came directly over, her soft body shrank like a kitten in Simon. In his arms, he narrowed his eyes again.

Simon kept his voice on the phone with Noah Scott for a while, and then closed the line, patted Janet with a smile, and asked, "Would you like coffee?"

Janet shook her head: "I haven't brushed my teeth yet."

Simon said: "Then I will take you back to the bedroom and sleep for a while?"

"No," Janet shook her head again, cheered up a little, raised her face and asked, "You just let Noah buy another 800 contracts?"

Simon nodded and said, "Yes."

"That's 4,500 contracts," Janet narrowed her eyes and did a little mental calculation, "4,500 contracts, the position opening range from 270 to 275, requires about 60 million US dollars as a margin, the position ratio exceeds 80%, and the available funds are available. There's only $15 million left. Well, Noah is going to treat you like a lunatic now. Little bastard, you won't continue to increase your positions, will you?"

Simon hugged the woman's soft body and said, "No more, that's it."

Janet's little hand was rubbing against Simon's chest, and she looked at him with bright eyes, and said, "But, little bastard, it's easy for you to lose money like this. Is it really okay?"

With Simon's current position, every 1-point fluctuation in the S\u0026P 500 means a profit and loss of $2.25 million.

Although the current futures trading is not a daily debt-free settlement, if the cumulative book losses in the Westeros account exceed the remaining $15 million in available funds, Simon will need a margin call, otherwise the broker will forcibly close a portion of it for him contract to ensure sufficient funds in the account.

Based on this calculation, the 4,500 long contracts of Westeros Company, in addition to the fixed margin of 60 million, even if all the chips in Simon's hand of the $20 million loan are included, they can only withstand the S\u0026P 500. The decline and volatility of about 15 points , equivalent to 5% of the broader index.

Actually.

From the beginning of the year to the present, in just four months, the S\u0026P 500 has experienced two sharp rises and falls between 250 and 300 points, with the largest rise and fall close to 20% of the broader market.

With reference to this volatility, Simon's current position is completely unbearable.

after all.

If the S\u0026P 500 suffers another 20% or so slump, more than a 50-point drop, the theoretical loss per contract at its lowest point would be more than $25,000. With 4,500 contracts, the loss would be $112.5 million, which is far more than the $75 million in principal in the Westeros Company account.

certainly.

As long as there is no big crash like the direct diving in memory, Simon can still liquidate and escape in advance, but he will definitely face huge losses.

If that happens, even if it loses half, it's $37.5 million.

Dollars are still very valuable these days.

The Palisade mansion where Simon and Janet live now will not be worth 20 to 30 million dollars in 20 or 30 years, but even at the top of the U.S. real estate bubble in the 1980s, the price is only $4 million.

Obvious.

Simon is now in danger of losing 10 of the top mansions of the era at any time.

It's hard

Blame him for being considered lunatic by Noah Scott.

but.

Danger and opportunity have always coexisted.

Although many Wall Street analysts are now judging that the stock market has been weak and is likely to turn sharply down at any time, it is indeed the case. However, Simon clearly remembers that the current S\u0026P 500 index of around 270 points is the lowest point in the next four months.

Compared with the repeated sharp rises and falls in the previous four months, the S\u0026P 500 index will show a very stable upward trend in the next four months, and basically there will not be too large fluctuations.

So it's likely that Simon won't even need to draw on that just-in-case loan, and just the remaining $15 million available in Westeros' accounts should be enough to withstand the slightest swings in the broader market's uptrend.

at this time.

Looking at Janet with her eyes wide open and trying to look worried, Simon couldn't help lowering his head to peck the woman's lips, and said with a smile, "You don't think that I will lose everything, right? Strow can only use himself to pay off the debt."

Janet raised her little hand and pushed Simon's head away, her original worried expression was swept away in a blink of an eye, showing a smiling face, she chased after and touched the man's cheek, saying, "I will definitely treat you well, little one. Simon."

Sure enough.

Simon sighed in his heart, and suddenly reached out and squeezed Janet's protruding arm, feeling the woman in his arms instantly, and said, "Look, recognize the reality."

Janet stared at Simon with watery eyes, and murmured softly, "Little bastard."

Simon smiled and hugged Janet, who was almost slipping off her body after taking off the force, and took her into his arms. Hearing her completely unkillable anger, he inadvertently noticed a pair of burgundy nail polishes exposed between the woman's movements. Beautiful feet, suddenly moved.

Holding up the woman's fair face with one hand and looking at it for a moment, Simon suddenly felt a feeling of breaking through the iron shoes and finding nowhere to go.

Janet belongs to the type who likes to face the sky without makeup, and a woman's well-maintained appearance is enough to allow her to appear in front of people completely without makeup.

but.

As long as you put on bright red lipstick and adjust the way you speak, then the coquettish, charming, accented and even the danger and madness suppressed under the surface are exactly the taxi driver Simon needs.

Bowing his head and pecking her lips again, Simon said, "Baby, there is still a role missing in my movie, how about you play it?"

Janet, who had recovered a little, twisted her body and asked softly, "Which one?"

Simon said: "Esmeralda Villalobos."

Janet's eyelashes flickered a few times and said, "Okay, but I can't act."

"It doesn't matter, I'm the director. The director likes to direct actresses personally."

"Hehe, little bastard," Janet smiled and pinched Simon lightly before saying, "By the way, what happened to the cartoon you mentioned last time? I'm looking forward to it."

Although they hadn't met before, Simon asked Neil to transfer the manuscript to Janet the day after the phone call that night, and the two talked about it more than once on the phone during this time.

When Simon heard the words, he shook his head regretfully and said, "Disney just wants to buy the script and doesn't want to make it for us."

Janet tilted her head: "How about that?"

Simon thought about an animation company still in a corner of San Francisco and said, "That's fine. Maybe, we can try to make this movie in another style."

Janet wondered: "Huh?"

Simon didn't hide it, and said, "Do you think that this animated movie is made in 3D?"

Janet blinked again, obviously unfamiliar with the concept of 3D animation movies. This is not surprising. So far, 3D animation is still in its infancy, and Pixar has only produced a "Naughty Jumping Light" that only lasts for more than two minutes.

Simon explained patiently: "Remember the cartoon head of "Lola Run"?"

Janet paused and said, "I remember, Pixar."

Actually, Janet had more in mind.

for example.

A newspaper clipping I once saw in Simon's study had Pixar's name clearly marked on it.

Humph.

The little bastard must have had this idea long ago.

He also used the excuse of giving gifts to deceive himself.

Hum hum.

However, smart women will certainly not debunk these.

Then it will not be dismantled.

Simon didn't know Janet's thoughts. Looking at the charming and naive look of the woman in his arms, although he instinctively felt that Janet was moving some careful thoughts in this state, he did not ask any further questions, and nodded: "It's Pixar, If possible, then we'll buy it and make a 3D animated version of The Lion King."

The former "Lion King", with a cumulative global box office of more than 900 million US dollars, has maintained the throne of the highest-grossing animated film for more than ten years before being surpassed by "Toy Story 3" and "Frozen".

Now.

Unless you are willing to give up the script, it is unlikely that you want Disney's original team to help you "OEM" "The Lion King". Michael Eisner was right at the time, it is basically impossible for Simon to find another excellent 2D animation film team other than Disney.

then.

These days, Simon gradually had another bold idea.

Create a 3D animated version of The Lion King.

Although Simon's understanding of the current 3D animation technology, it is not easy to achieve the smooth effect of 2D animation, but Simon is not in a hurry.

Technical problems, as long as they can be solved, are not problems.

Too many excellent animated films later are enough to prove that Pixar definitely has enough technical strength to solve this problem.

As for whether the future 3D version of "The Lion King" can still achieve the box office miracle, Simon is not too worried.

Movies are the riskiest business in the world.

But at the same time.

Movies are the purest business in the world. As long as the quality of a movie is good enough, audiences are willing to buy tickets to enter the cinema.

therefore.

Whether it's 2d or 3d, The Lion King is The Lion King.

Even if Simon perfectly copies the original 2D version of "The Lion King", there are still too many variables whether it can achieve the previous box office results. In contrast, the 3D version of "The Lion King" can add some selling points to the movie.

After chatting about "The Lion King" for a while, Simon and Janet left the study.

Janet ran to change and wash, and Simon went downstairs to start preparing breakfast.

At about 8:30, the two left the Palisades mansion, Simon rushed to the headquarters of Santa Monica Daenerys Pictures, and Janet's destination was her studio in Venice Beach.

A month after the two broke up, they suddenly reunited, which inevitably caused the paparazzi to chase again.

However, getting used to this state, neither of them were too affected.

The time is already mid-May.

The next day, the film "Isda" produced by Columbia Pictures was officially released with an opening scale of 1,139 screens, heralding the official arrival of the 1987 summer season.

"Isda," starring Warren Beatty, Dustin Hoffman and French actress Isabelle Adjani, cost $55 million. When Simon saw the budget size of the film in the newspaper, there was only emotion left in his heart.

Half of last year's top 10 North American box-office films cost less than $10 million to make.

Now.

It seems that suddenly, Hollywood has entered the era of blockbuster movies.

Catherine's first theatrical feature film "Bloody Night", which Simon just watched yesterday, is also scheduled for the next June 19. Despite having Simon, the "director's assistant" as a gimmick, after barely pushing into the summer slot, De Laurentiis Entertainment only managed to get 500 screens for the film.

In this regard, Simon also questioned Martha Schumacher, president of De Laurentiis Entertainment, yesterday.

Simon didn't mind that Katherine's film used her own name for some publicity. However, it is obviously better to postpone the film in August or September. The competition for the unpopular schedule is not fierce, and at least it can win more than 1,000 opening screens.

Martha Schumacher told Simon that Night of the Dead was supposed to be the last film to be released before De Laurentiis Entertainment went bankrupt, and they couldn't wait a few more months.

In this regard, Simon can only be helpless.

Instructing Noah Scott to buy the last long contract, Simon also temporarily let go of the matter and devoted all his energy to the production of three films under Daenerys Pictures.
