Hollywood Hunter

Chapter 599 The Latest Net

As the 58list job search fraud case ended in a reversal form that embarrassed the traditional paper media, this incident is basically dusty.

Following the handling of some subsequent incidents, Simon handed over to the Igret team to take charge of himself, and he himself began to accompany the two women on maternity leave.

Both Jane's due date is in early November, from September to November, which is about two months.Although it is impossible to leave everything behind after all, Simon only intends to spend one or two hours at home every day to ask about the company, and no longer go to work every day.

The only minor trouble is to fly between Los Angeles and San Francisco.

In fact, I really want to arrange the two women together, but as the pregnancy gets older, the female assistant disagrees more and more, and always feels strange and guilty in front of Janet.

The weekend when the fraud incident was handled was spent with a female assistant in San Francisco, and she set off for Los Angeles early on Monday morning.

"Miami also claimed that the case of fraud on 58list job search also reversed yesterday. The woman who claimed to be fooled just wanted to blackmail some compensation from the website. The 58list team has started to carry out fraud and reputation infringement lawsuits. Washington side , The New York Times Group submitted a report to the Senate on the weekend, accusing 58list of classified information services as a disguised low-price dumping, aimed at destroying the entity classified information advertising industry and achieving a monopoly. Holding a hearing on the 58list website is the best solution, so that the Ministry of Justice or Congress can initiate a formal investigation as much as possible. Oh, one more thing, Ms. Brill just fired the Weinstein brothers over the weekend."

Return to Boeing 767 in Los Angeles.

Simon leaned leisurely on the sofa in the living room of the front cabin, while casually flipping through a script while listening to A girl report some company matters.

Hearing Nancy Brill’s sudden dismissal of the Weinstein brothers, Simon finally looked up at his side: "What's going on?"

Alison sat on the side single sofa and glanced at her boss, saying: "Harvey Weinstein tried to infringe on an actress, an artist under WMA, after finishing a film audition in New York on Friday. Mr. Friedman has been pressed down after personally asking. However, Ms. Brill later learned that and made this decision on Sunday."

Simon didn't know what to say for a while.

I originally thought that the Weinstein brothers were recruited by Nancy to BesTV Entertainment, and then they may fight with the high-end film industry in the field of literary and artistic films. This is actually what Simon is willing to see. Only with competition can the high-end film industry team be guaranteed. Not slack.

I just didn't expect that if things hadn't started yet, it would be such a result.

Harvey Weinstein’s broken thing is really nothing in Hollywood.

When the Weinstein incident broke out, it was because the Weinstein brothers lost their power in Hollywood. They thought that their wings were hard enough to break away from the Disney system. Without a big backer, they became competitors of other big Hollywood studios. It's not clean, you don't have luck.

It was just that the entire Hollywood probably didn't expect things to be so big.

This time.

Simon would probably understand what happened without asking too much detail.

In the first half of the year, Miramax went bankrupt and suddenly joined Hollywood under Daenerys Entertainment. Harvey Weinstein inevitably regained his posture.

It's just that Harvey probably overlooked something. His immediate boss is a woman, and a woman with a strong personality and obvious femininity.So, I just joined BesTV Entertainment and haven't made any achievements yet.

Such a good recovery opportunity, do not cherish yourself, it can only admit its fate.

Simon thought for a while and said, "You let Amy greet other studios and let the Weinstein brothers completely disappear from Hollywood."

The Weinstein Brothers ability is absolutely there.

Since my company cannot use it,

Alison agreed, bowing his head to write down the matter on the memo.

It's just that I can't help thinking of Nancy Brill biting the chin of her boss.

Simon suddenly asked, "A, would you say Nancy would expel me too?"

Alison looked up at Simon and shook his head seriously: "You are the boss."

"Employees can also dismiss bosses," Simon smiled and said, "How about you?"

Alison paused to understand what Simon was asking, and couldn't help avoiding her boss's gaze, lowering her eyes and saying, "No."

"It seems that I can do whatever I want."

I really want to raise his head and give him a glance.

I seem to secretly say something in my heart.

So he didn't speak.

The pen tip draws a circle on the memo, and another circle is drawn in the circle, and two points are made to fill the eyes and ears.

After being silent for a moment, Alison took the lead in responding, and then continued to report some things in a hurry. Finally, he turned out a Forbes magazine that was just released today and said: "Boss, do you want to see?"

Today is Monday, September 6.

"Forbes" announced half a month ago that it would announce the latest issue of the US 400 rich list in this issue of the magazine.

Simon actually knew the statistics of this list in advance.

When she saw the magazine delivered by girl A, she still took it.

The cover is a densely packed investment map of the Westeros system.

"Forbes" actually wanted a photo of Simon, but was unexpectedly rejected.

In recent years, although Simon’s name has hardly been cut off in the media, his own photos are very rare, and even there are few blurry photos of paparazzi secretly taken, and reports of his private life are becoming rarer.

It’s time to publicize it.

Keeping a low profile now can avoid giving a lot of people the pressure of Westeros everywhere.

This actually reduces a lot of trouble.

Directly above the intensive investment map, there is a very prominent black number: $.

$120 billion!

Compared with last year's 65 billion US dollars, it almost doubled.

Turning over the magazine, the first few pages are a detailed list of the 400 richest people in the United States.

As usual, the top ten occupy a whole page.

First place: Simon Westero, $120 billion.

Second place: Bill Gates, $10.5 billion.

Third place: Warren Buffett, $8.3 billion.

Fourth place: John Kruger, $5.9 billion.

Fifth place: Helen Walton, $4.5 billion.

Sixth place: Robinson Walton, $4.5 billion.

Seventh place: Jim Walton, $4.5 billion.

Eighth place: John Walton, $4.5 billion.

Ninth place: Alice Walton, $4.5 billion.

Tenth place: Rupert Murdoch, $3.5 billion.

This year's list of Simon's Yiqijuchen and the Walton family quintet are still the two most prominent parts.

The door classmates became the second billion-dollar billionaire. This should have been a worthy book, but unfortunately, the personal net worth of 10.5 billion US dollars is still not even a fraction of Simon's net worth.

Moreover, compared with 1993 in the original time and space, Damen's net worth has increased a lot in advance.

In memory, Bill Gates should have ranked behind Warren Buffett in 1993 with a personal net worth of $6.1 billion.

In the past, due to the impact of the economic environment, the demand for personal computers for office products has been relatively sluggish in the early 1990s, which has also restricted the development of operating system software supplier Microsoft.

This time, because of the rise of new technology waves and the popularity of the Internet, personal computers quickly got rid of pure office use, and began to enter thousands of households like TVs and VCRs. As a result, PC sales have continued to rise sharply in recent years.

As one of the alliance partners of the Westeros system to promote the development of the Internet, Microsoft also benefited from this wave, thereby promoting the door classmates to become the second billion-dollar billionaire in federal history.

Of course, this time it will probably only be second.

In the top ten list, the other thing that surprised Simon was Rupert Murdoch.

Compared with last year’s 2.6 billion US dollars, the Australian-born media tycoon’s personal net worth increased by 900 million US dollars this year. Although only ranked tenth, and it is not far behind other rich people in the subsequent few, it is considered to have entered. The threshold of the top ten list, even Sam Redstone, who had been pressing on his head, was dropped this time.

Simon also knows that the growth of Murdoch's net worth is mainly due to the global growth of the News Corporation's TV business. As for the newspaper business that has been regarded as the foundation of Murdoch, as long as the discerning person understands the paper media industry Under the impact of the Internet has begun to decline.

Moreover, despite being over sixty years old, Rupert Murdoch does not have the old-fashioned mentality of traditional businessmen at all. News Corporation has already started investing in Internet technology companies. Murdoch has consulted Simon on this issue more than once.

In Simon's view, Murdoch's this is much stronger than Lei Shidong.

Although they are all strong businessmen, the former Redstone has been stagnant after completing Viacom's layout in the traditional media field, and it has been in a downturn since the new century.

This time, it is impossible to complete the acquisition of Paramount as in the original time and space. Viacom will certainly be unable to annex CBS in the future. Sam Redstone may not be able to keep up with the media tycoon John. Like Kruger, it gradually disappeared at the forefront of the rich list.

Following the list is a feature article that introduces details of Simon's personal assets.

In the past year, the fastest-growing personal assets under Simon's name are undoubtedly new technology companies such as AOL, Cisco, Microsoft, and Intel.

Among them, AOL and Cisco, the recent market value is 35.6 billion US dollars and 38.7 billion US dollars.

According to Simon's shareholding ratio in the two companies, only the value of his part of the assets exceeds 40 billion US dollars.

Microsoft, Intel, Oracle, SUN, Silicon Diagram, and other listed technology companies that Westeros holds a heavy stake in, and the personal wealth contributed to Simon by Forbes magazine during the statistical process also reached $13 billion.

In addition, there is Nokia which has just been listed recently.

According to Forbes, according to the average stock price value one week after listing on August 20, the value of the stock attributed to Simon also reached about 60 US dollars.

Only the shares of these listed technology companies have brought Simon nearly $60 billion in wealth.

The assets of private companies under Simon’s name are equally large.

The four very special women in the Westeros system, Daenerys, Melisandre, Eaglet and Cersei, are all private companies.

Among them, Igrid just raised 1 billion US dollars at a valuation of 15 billion U.S. dollars in the first half of the year, publicly confirming the huge potential value of this Internet company. The valuation of 15 billion U.S. dollars has tripled from last year’s 5 billion U.S. dollars .

Daenerys Entertainment has also started pre-IPO preparations, and its valuation has increased by US$5 billion compared to last year, reaching US$25 billion.

Melisandre, which continues to expand in the luxury industry, has also raised its valuation to US$5 billion compared to last year.

Cersei Capital, "Forbes" gives a valuation equivalent to last year, at 10 billion US dollars.

The four'women' add up to contribute 55 billion dollars to Simon's personal wealth.

In addition to four women, Westeros also has a very important non-listed company. At the time, Verizon Telecom, which had completed the acquisition and integration with MCA, compared with last year’s $10 billion valuation, Forbes gave this year. The value is estimated at USD 15 billion.

Four women plus Verizon Telecom, which is another $70 billion.

Two integrations, this is already 130 billion US dollars.

Moreover, all of these are fairly clear assets in the Westeros system that are very easy to count or have a reference to listed stock prices.

As the industrial layout of the Westeros system grows larger, many of the assets of unlisted companies with smaller or lower shareholdings and the personal wealth held by Simon Westeros in cash, property, and real estate appear It is difficult to count and estimate.

For this part of the wealth, Forbes gives a rough figure of 10 billion US dollars.

"Forbes" last year counted the Westeros system's debt amount to 16 billion US dollars, this year's figure is about 20 billion US dollars.

Many investments and expansions in the Westeros system over the past year, including the construction of the Westeros building in Manhattan and the personal consumption of the Simons and couples, were actually made in the form of bank loans.

If it is other rich people, the increase in debt of 4 billion US dollars in a year, the personal financial situation may be precarious.However, compared with the huge scale of the entire Westeros system, the debt scale has increased by 4 billion in one year, which is not much at all.

When necessary, Simon Westero sold some core assets, even if he wanted to pay off all $20 billion in debt.

Therefore, according to comprehensive statistics, with a total of 140 billion US dollars of assets, minus the Westeros system's liabilities of about 20 billion US dollars, Simon Westero's personal net asset figure reached 120 billion US dollars.

$120 billion, which is more than double the wealth of $50.7 billion of all other riches in the top ten of the Forbes list.

Moreover, this year's "Forbes" list of the 400 richest people in the US, the combined wealth of the 400 richest people is only $469.1 billion.

Of course, this includes Simon's $120 billion.

In other words, only Simon's personal net worth of 120 billion US dollars is already worth more than one third of the other 399 top American riches of 349.1 billion US dollars.

At a more macroeconomic level, Simon’s personal net worth was equivalent to 1.8% of the US’s GDP of 6.5 trillion in 1992, which was more than 1.5% of the peak period of the Rockefeller family.

Simultaneously, Simon's personal net worth of 120 billion US dollars, if counted as an economy, is also enough to surpass Russia, Portugal, Israel and other countries in the 1992 GDP list, ranking 27th.

A truly rich country!
