Hollywood Hunter

After the 1992 Forbes list of the 400 richest people in North America, Simon's $65 billion and the door classmates' $7.5 billion, veteran media tycoon John Kruger ranked third with a personal wealth of $5.5 billion.

Compared to the first two, John Kruger's personal wealth has not changed much in recent years.

Later, Sam Walton passed away in April this year, and his wife and four children occupied the fourth to eighth places with the same personal wealth of $5.1 billion, which also became the Forbes list in recent years. A highlight on the list.

Immediately thereafter, Warren Buffett ranked ninth with a personal wealth of $4.4 billion.

The two brothers of the Newhouse family tied for tenth each with a personal wealth of $3.5 billion.

It is not difficult to find that even if the two tenth personal assets in parallel are included, the total assets of all other billionaires in the top ten list of Simon are only $499, which is still $65 billion from Simon’s personal assets. The huge gap of 15.1 billion US dollars.

When the list was announced, it inevitably aroused the attention and discussion of all parties.

Simon's personal assets last year were only 35 billion US dollars, but this is already a bit shocking. The 65 billion US dollars this year has completely exceeded the imagination of most ordinary people.

As a result, many media naturally began to analyze, what does 65 billion US dollars mean?

An article in the New York Times gives an intuitive concept that best fits ordinary people: Based on the average annual income of US individuals of US$25,000 in recent years, an ordinary person who wants to earn US$65 billion needs 2.6 million years of full work.

Simon Westero accumulated to the net worth at this time, but it only took 6 years.

Of course, there is no lack of discussion about whether Simon's net worth at this time is so much.

However, only high-tech companies such as Cisco, AOL, Microsoft, Intel, etc. that are publicly listed in the Westeros system are already dazzling.

Daenerys Entertainment, which has continuously created a series of box office miracles, completed the merger of MCA, and created the DC movie universe, is like a latent Big Mac.Unlike a series of public companies such as Cisco, the huge Daenerys Entertainment is now completely owned by Simon Westero.

In addition, Verizon Telecom, Cersei Capital, Merri Sandra, Eaglet, etc., all of these companies have demonstrated strength that cannot be underestimated.

Such a huge business empire has become ubiquitous in the lives of Americans. The founder's personal net worth reached 65 billion US dollars. Although the asset growth rate in a short period of time reached an astonishing 30 billion US dollars, careful statistics show Not so unacceptable.

With media reports and public discussion, the technology and entertainment sector of American stories will inevitably rise again after the release of the New Year's Rich List.

The uncertainty in Hollywood is too great, and the threshold is also somewhat high, so the booming new technology industry has once again attracted more and more attention.

In September, the 1992 US presidential election also entered the most recent sprint.

Candidates for both parties in the United States have been determined, and current President George Bush easily nominates candidates for the Republican Party.After Bill Clinton defeated a series of competitors, he successfully became Bush's competitor.

When this year's Forbes list was released, the views of Simon Westero on the personal wealth of the two candidates in the campaign also became an important issue frequently mentioned by media reporters.

In this regard, George Bush is even more awkward.

Contacting the US economy in recent years, media reporters like to ask how George Bush intends to address the growing personal wealth of the top US riches and the record poverty rate and high unemployment rate in the United States.

As everyone knows, Mr. President always likes to focus on overseas issues. To be more precise, it is oil.

The Bush family is an important part of the American Petroleum Corporation,

For the US economy, Mr. President’s interest is really not great.

Of course, this is the case, but it can’t be said, so it can only be exhausted.

In this respect, Clinton seemed to be at ease.

Clinton's campaign slogan is related to the economy. When the presidential candidate was asked similar questions, he often cleverly turned the topic into the rapidly evolving new technology field in the United States, and then contacted his running partner Al Gore. The launch of the "Information Superhighway" plan constantly depicts the prospect that he will promote another major change in the US economy after his election, especially how many opportunities, how much wealth and how many jobs this economic transformation will bring to the United States.

In fact, much of the data cited by Bill Clinton was quietly provided by the Westeros system.

With the Internet giants of Cisco, AOL, and Igret, coupled with Simon’s prophetic advantage, no one knows better than the Westeros system the development prospects of the new technology field in the next few years.

These materials were certainly not available to George Bush.

Moreover, Hollywood and Silicon Valley are now largely on the side of Bill Clinton. This is an indisputable fact.

Regarding these two forces, one holds a large amount of American wealth and the other holds a large amount of public opinion resources, and the Bush administration can only draw as much as possible.

For Simon, facing the trend of public opinion after the release of the Rich List, the Westeros system will certainly not be indifferent.

Qiu Fu is an emotion that will not be lacking in any society. Therefore, the public relations team of the Westeros system has been operating at this time, focusing on the promotion of Simon as a special case, a miracle, not just a pure super rich.

The public's acceptance of miracles is always higher.

Simon's personal wealth, which is riding the dust, also deserves to be called a miracle.

There is discussion, exclamation, envy, and naturally there will be no lack of targeting and doubt.

Not just the US presidential election, this year is also the election year of the US House of Representatives and the House of Representatives.The two presidential candidates will take Simon's approach too obviously and deliberately, and some members of Congress will not have too many estimates for the approval rate.

A California Republican candidate in the Senate soon after the Forbes list was released, soon began to accuse the Westeros system of three companies in the emerging Internet field's strong position has hindered the development of competitors in the industry.

The congressman was very cautious and did not directly use monopoly terms.

The Internet industry is still in the early stages of development, and Igreut is still in the stage of continuing to lose money.

It is obviously too early to blame monopoly now.

Moreover, Eaglet has not only actively opened a series of core patents of the World Wide Web, but also spared no effort to create an open and shared positive image for itself in this process.

In addition, AOL, because of its limited business scope, is not considered a monopoly.

The only Cisco with obvious suspicion of monopoly happens to be a relatively single product, and it is basically the only company in North America. You can't force others to license the products they have worked so hard to authorize other companies.

Of course, as the Internet industry continues to explode, the three companies' dominant position in the entire industry is becoming more and more obvious.

In private, careful consideration of certain joint strategies has indeed touched on the anti-monopoly regulations of the United States.

But, after all, it just needs more real things.

No American corporate giant dare to say that he has never violated the US antitrust laws.

However, the "opportunity" that the Senate candidate accused this time is very bad, because Igerit just happened to make another key measure of opening up technology to the outside world.

This is the e-mail technology that many companies have been greedy for a long time.

As one of the most widely used technologies of the Igrid portal, almost every user of the World Wide Web will register an email address after logging into the Igrid portal.

Therefore, as of September 1992, the number of e-mail registrations of the Igrid portal has reached 37 million, and daily active users have also exceeded 10 million.

With such a huge user base, any technology company with a little vision can understand the huge business opportunities it contains.

The Igreat portal's revenue from email advertising has also been rising.

However, for the outside world, this may be a gigantic user base.For the Egrete team, the e-mail service always means huge operating expenses.

Even if you understand that this kind of expenditure is totally worthwhile, it does not prevent the Igreat team from starting other businesses through e-mail technology.

Open e-mail technology was originally proposed by Carol Bartz, the head of the software service business.

As a tool for gathering the user group of the Igrid portal, the portal team will naturally not agree.

The dispute between the two parties eventually fell to Simon's side.

Carol Bartz took over the enterprise service business of e-mail.However, until now, the Bartz team has also found that instead of providing direct email service from Eaglet, it is better to directly provide users with a complete set of network mailbox technology and solutions, remaining server maintenance, and email technology Management and further sensitive matters related to the content are not needed by Eaglet.

In doing so, on the one hand, it can minimize the company's operational investment in enterprise-level e-mail services, and also avoid the legal risks associated with information leakage.

It was the latter reason that impressed Simon.

Although U.S. privacy regulations in the Internet field have not yet appeared, this does not mean that Igret does not need to bear related risks.

Operating a huge e-mail user base, Igret actually encountered hacker attacks very frequently, and the company's security team grew larger.

Now, if only the technology and services are provided, and the management of the e-mail box is the responsibility of the user, Igerit can get rid of a large part of the responsibility after the information leakage accident.

In addition, there are many considerations in the longer term.

For example, the US government inevitably monitors the Internet.

Later, the United States always used to accuse other countries of stealing Internet information to threaten network security. Simon did not know what other countries did, but the United States government's monitoring of the Internet was more than a real hammer.

Originally on the timeline, after the 9/11 incident, the Patriot Act promoted by the Bush administration was actually a monitoring act.

The bill stipulates that the US government has the right to view citizens’ emails in the name of national seat belts.

With the US government’s long-standing monitoring habits, even without 911, Simon can be sure that the US government will intervene in the Internet for other reasons in the future.

If there is only one e-mail service platform on the Internet platform, then, regardless of whether or not it agrees with the US government’s monitoring requirements, Eaglet will face strong pressure.

Now, if the initiative to abandon the monopoly on e-mail technology has led to a large number of e-mail service providers and a larger number of private or corporate e-mail servers in the Internet market, the US government wants to do whatever it needs, and it does not need to bear the pressure. Then Igrid's family.

Moreover, the e-mail technology is now liberalized and the standard of Igret is rapidly promoted, which can also avoid the development of alternative technologies by other companies.

Igreat no longer provides a full set of services, and no longer restricts the server to the Igrete network platform. Users can build their own servers and process information on their own. This can also allow many companies that are concerned about confidentiality to accept this service. Therefore, it is conducive to the wider promotion of e-mail services.

In order to finalize this matter, Westmont intended to stay in San Francisco for a few days, and agreed with the Eaglet team on the overall details of the open email technology.

Coincidentally, the California Senate candidate accused the Westeros system of controlling the Internet industry. The plan was just confirmed. As a counterattack, the Igret team announced it with a big conference.

Of course, after several disputes, this technology will still be a restricted opening.

In the short term, the object of technology opening will only face companies and government departments, and groups authorized by technology cannot provide e-mail services to the public unless permitted.

By doing so, it is obvious that competitors of Igrid Mailbox can be avoided.

Moreover, this restriction of Igret is completely reasonable in the eyes of outsiders.

However, Simon does not actually intend to completely control the denial of other service providers.

In fact, after the plan was completed, the Igret team began secret negotiations with Microsoft and AOL.

As long as the agreement can be reached smoothly, both AOL and Microsoft will start their own email service.

Of course, this technology cannot always be licensed to Westeros inland companies. In the face of many applicants, Igreat is also looking for other Westeros outfield partners.

So until September 16, when Simon returned to Los Angeles, Daenerys Entertainment's "Desperate Housewife", which was created for the USA TV network this autumn, is also close to the official launch.
