Hollywood Hunter

On the two days of the weekend, with the help of Sofia and the political and military think tanks in various fields around him, Simon initially formulated specific plans for the Trojan Plan and the Solvay Plan.

And immediately began to execute.

The first is the'Troy Plan'. The first step is to select people, which is actually the most important step.

Simon did not give full responsibility to Joseph Schrap, Celia Miller, etc., but planned to personally check.Of course, the specific implementation still needs the assistance of these people.

In terms of politics, the plan is to select a group of newcomers and political activists to support them. Some of these people come from within the Westeros system, children of management at all levels of each subsidiary, or some senior executives who are interested in politics.The other part, at least on the surface, has nothing to do with the Westeros system.

The most important thing about Simon is the latter part.

Because once branded with the Westeros system, it is not easy to climb too high in the American political system, and it is not suitable for doing so, it is easy to make people think.

As for the people who seem to have nothing to do with the Westeros system, there is no certain ceiling.

It is not impossible to run for president in the future.

These people are very easy to find. After all, people in any country who want to make a difference in politics are not unknown, so there are various circles and groups.

The key is how to win over and support these people without letting the outside world find clues.

The club system to be organized by Sofia is a key.

In short, all work is done slowly.

Fortunately, Simon now has no shortage of funds, team and time in his hands.

Unlike a group of people selected from the executive circle of vested interests within the Westeros system, relevant outsiders, Simon locks in the middle and lower classes of the United States. These people lack the financial connections to climb up and can only rely on With the support of the Westeros system, loyalty is also quite guaranteed.

Simon actually does not want absolute loyalty. However, once the position is determined, in fact, loyalty and loyalty are often involuntary.

Betrayal has never been free.

The military here needs to be more cautious. For the time being, it is still about attracting senior US military personnel who have retired and still have considerable contacts. One of the main solutions Simon decided on the weekend for two days is to come up with a group of Westeros subsidiaries The position of the board of directors came out and gradually spread out.

Ask for directions by feeding.

Then through these contacts, gradually infiltrate the senior US military.

Continuing to spend the weekend in New York, Simon and Sofia flew back to Los Angeles together. Sofia came mainly to visit the two little guys, after all, their biological mothers.

When they returned, they took a brand new Boeing 767.

Simon ordered two Boeing 767 orders from Boeing last year, which have just been delivered recently. After Sofia became pregnant last year, one of them became exclusively for women, and the interior decoration was completely designed by her. However, the ownership of the aircraft is still under the name of the Westero family. This is not Simon's stinginess, but it can continue to be used by the Westeros family to pay for the use and maintenance of this private jet.

This is a very large expense.

The annual maintenance cost of a private jet is equivalent to about 10% of its own cost. In addition, there are various expenses such as hiring a crew and the cost of each sailing.A private jet has been in use for 30 years, and the cumulative cost is enough to buy another four or five new jets.

This is also the reason why many rich people seem to be expensive and still can only rent private jets.

Just like Sofia herself, even with her Melissa Sandra shares in her name, her personal net worth has reached billions of dollars, but it is not easy to maintain a private Boeing 767 with $10 to 20 million in cash each year.

Fortunately, the issue of money is not a problem for Simon at all.

Back to Los Angeles, the time is January 29.

on Monday.

The new week, the biggest news of the day, is undoubtedly that Igrid’s share price officially exceeded 300 billion US dollars.

This is mainly due to the fact that Igrid announced the full-year financial report for 1995 on Saturday, January 27.

With a single-quarter revenue of US$6.53 billion that surged again in the fourth quarter of 1995, the entire year of 1995 for Igrid’s annual revenue reached US$20.82 billion, successfully surpassing the US$20 billion revenue mark.

Compared with the annual revenue of 11.67 billion US dollars in 1994, the year-on-year growth rate reached 78%.

Not only that, in the fourth quarter of 1995, Eaglet’s single-quarter net profit also reached US$380 million, directly surpassing the total of the company’s net profit of US$310 million in the first three quarters, and the full-year net profit in 1995 reached US$690 million. .

This is naturally what Igrid did intentionally.

The main purpose is to release a signal to the outside world. Igerit wants to make a profit, which is actually very easy.

This is also true.

What the capital industry lacks most is the discerning person.

Even if Igrid doesn’t make a fuss about profits, just one year's revenue growth from 10 billion US dollars to more than 20 billion US dollars is enough to make the majority of investors crazy.

Because revenue is where the value of a company is best reflected.

This is why the statistical standard of Fortune 500 companies is company revenue rather than market value or profit.

Not to mention in this era, even if it is more than ten or twenty years later, the volume of revenue can reach the tens of billions of dollars, it is definitely a leader in various industries.When a company's revenue exceeds 10 billion US dollars, it can still maintain a very high growth rate, which is even more rare.

As a result, after two days of weekend public opinion fermentation of Igerett’s 1995 earnings report, the stock market opened on Monday, and Igerett’s stock price rose by 9.3% throughout the day, with the market value soaring from $291.1 billion to $318.3 billion.

Not only that, stimulated by this positive, the Nasdaq index also surged across the board this day, from 2816 points at the opening of the day to 2937 points, a single-day increase to 4.1%, it seems that the Vest just announced last week Los Angeles' announcement on Cisco's shareholding reduction has been forgotten.

Fortunately, it is still within 3000 points.

Simon is pleased with this.

The capital market is naturally lost.

It failed to break through 3000 points in one go like Igritt's stock price.

However, many people have already started to rub their hands and plan to send the Nasdaq to a high of 3000 points in the coming week.

Simon also rubbed his hands.

The market reaction triggered by the release of Igerett’s 1995 financial report was basically expected. Therefore, Simon also intends to catch up with Nasdaq again before Tinkerbair is listed.Such a hot and cold alternation is actually very easy to have headaches and brain fever, but it can't take care of that much.

Igret became the first company with a market value of 300 billion US dollars, which inevitably caused media and public curiosity about Simon's latest net worth.

According to the current Westero Company's 57.9% shareholding in Igret, on Monday, the total value of Igret's stock held by Simon reached 184.3 billion U.S. dollars, a single day increase of 17.1 billion U.S. dollars.

A young man who turns 28 years old next month, his personal assets are no longer suitable for annual statistics.

Now it is not too much to calculate by day.

It is just a company of Igrid. Simon’s personal wealth growth caused by the fluctuation of stock prices on the day of January 29 may be a number that many ordinary people can expect in their entire lives.

From the listing on October 6 last year to the present, Igrid has been in the company for more than three months, and it is still only the stock of the company Igrid held by Simon, with an overall appreciation of more than 50 billion U.S. dollars. The magazine's statistics on Simon's personal net worth are based on the market value of the first day of listing of Igret, which means that only the Igret family, only a quarter of a year, increased Simon's personal wealth by $50 billion.

Moreover, it is not just Igrid. Even if the Westeros system has begun to take repressive measures, the stocks of Cisco, AOL, Microsoft, Intel and other companies have continued to rise rapidly in the past few months.According to Simon's shareholding in these companies, the overall value added of more than three months has not been less than 100 billion US dollars.

There are a large number of other non-listed companies.

For example Tinkerbair.

In the "Forbes" US 400 rich list statistics at the end of October last year, Tincobal's valuation was only calculated based on the sum of the two companies' valuation of 17 billion U.S. dollars during the acquisition of Broadcast.

Now, only three months have passed. According to the latest Tinkerbal prospectus, the valuation of this company has reached US$35 billion, not to mention Igrid’s indirect shareholding in Tinkerbal, only calculation The 61.6% stake in Tincobair, directly held by Westeros, has a value of US$21.5 billion, double that of three months ago.

In the end, after the US stock market closed on January 29, Fortune magazine, which had not been able to grab "Forbes" on the mainstream wealth list, first published a feature article on its own official website, identifying Simon's latest net worth as $900 billion.There is only a gap of USD 100 billion from USD 1 trillion.

Although the figure of 900 billion is still not absolutely accurate, the analysis given by Fortune is very detailed. After all, it is only a series of key holding companies of the Westeros system such as Igrid, Cisco, AOL, etc., for three months. In time, the value added for Simon’s wealth exceeded 150 billion US dollars.

Other non-listed companies, such as Tinkerbair, Melisandre, Verizon Telecom, etc., the potential value added is calculated at 50 billion US dollars, which is not an exaggeration.

Therefore, a total of 900 billion US dollars, compared with the 700 billion US dollars on the Forbes US 400 rich list last October, an increase of 200 billion in a quarter, even if it is amazing, it is basically true.

Of course, other media do not want to fall behind, and have started to discuss this topic.

It seems that an old god in Forbes is not moving. Forbes probably thinks that the list is released once a year, which is too flooded to inevitably lose credibility.This is obviously the restraint of the typical traditional media, and it may not be reserved for a long time. Simon clearly remembers that Forbes also began to launch a real-time wealth statistics list.

Regardless of the controversy, most of the media and the public generally recognize the latest personal net worth of $900 billion Simon given by Fortune.

as well as.

Everyone is now starting to pay more attention to when this number can exceed 1 trillion US dollars.

No one will doubt that as long as the Nasdaq does not crash in the short term, and lasts for a few months, $1 trillion is only a matter of time.

Barron Weekly, another financial magazine in Hollywood, has been optimistic about this point in the website news of the day.

Tincobal is listed.

As the road show progressed, Tinkerbair’s official listing date was basically finalized, and on February 16, it was still a Friday.

The "Barron Weekly" article believes that Tinkerbeer's $35 billion valuation is a very serious underestimation. Such an emerging electronics giant that has exceeded $10 billion in annual net profit and has reached the level of $1 billion, even because of Due to the nature of its own enterprise, it cannot be compared with the highly sought after authentic Internet company, but its own Internet genes are also obvious.

Since the entire Internet industry is growing at a high speed, Tincobalt, which relies on the entire Internet ecosystem, has no reason to conservatively evaluate as traditional electronic companies.

What's more, the news that Tinkerbair is about to release another brand-new electronic product has also begun to warm up public opinion, perhaps this will be similar to the explosion of the model.

Therefore, even if the terrible level of Igret’s $300 billion market value is not reached, the analysis of “Barron’s Weekly” believes that Tinkerbair’s market value should be at least at the level of $100 billion, not just $35 billion.In the recent road show, many intentional capitals have been called crazy subscription performances, which clearly proves this.

The market generally predicts that before the official listing, Tincobal may raise the issue price again.

The management of Simon and Tincobal is indeed considering this.

It's not that the $35 billion valuation is too bad to be willing to give more benefits. If it was a year or two ago, Simon would be happy to do so.It is mainly because I don’t want the market to be too enthusiastic about Tincobal’s IPO performance, because it will inevitably affect the entire Nasdaq sector, further stimulating the technology sector to rise too fast overall.

Also on January 29th, in addition to the noise caused by the market value of Igret breaking through 300 billion, there is also the 68th Oscar officially announced the nomination list that night.

The shortlist is basically expected by Simon.

The core five best film nominations, the highly anticipated "Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice" was successfully selected, and also received nine nominations for best director, best screenwriter, best soundtrack, etc., becoming the most nominated this year. Movie, a moment of joy for fans.

The film's distribution team also started the second wave of large-scale publicity, and really started to launch the PR offensive impact awards.

In addition to the Super Bat Fight, the four other films nominated for the best film are "Sentiment and Emotion", "Brave Heart", "The Bridge of Dreams" and "Nixon Biography".

Sense and Sensibility by Damen Lisi Entertainment's high-end film industry shined in the previous Golden Globe Awards, this time continued to win the Oscar for best film, best director, best actress, best supporting actress Wait for 8 nominations.

This is one more than the original time and space.

It happens to be the best director.

As for why the former Li An failed to be nominated, the reason is obvious. Now Daenerys Entertainment is fully capable of easily breaking this prejudice.

The finalists of "Brave Heart" and "Long Bridge Dream" are also reasonable.

There is an obvious controversy in Nixon Biography.

The biographical film directed by Oliver Stone can only be said to be the normal play of the director. Both the box office and word-of-mouth performance have been mediocre. The reason for the nomination is that Oscar is divided into pork and Oliver Stone itself. For coffee reasons, on the other hand, there are the results of the strong promotion of Vivendi behind Disney. The French want to show their sense of presence in Hollywood.

It happened that several films such as "Apollo 13", "Beauty and the Beast", "This Man From the Earth", which is expected to be nominated by Daenerys Entertainment, also voluntarily gave up the application, and the quality Nixon Biography was obtained. opportunity.

This is why Simon insisted that the 1995 just passed was not considered an Oscar.

It really can't be counted.

Although Daenerys Entertainment does not count as a super bat war, films such as "Sentiment and Emotion", "Death Walk", "Apollo 13", "Beauty and the Beast" also received a total of 22 nominations, but because of "Nixon" The finalists of "Biography", this time the announcement of nominations inevitably caused doubts.

The Oscar Organizing Committee is helpless.

Daenerys Entertainment had almost dominated the top ten of the annual box office last year, and other competitors were not strong enough. This is something that cannot be done.

Oscar can't be like this.

After all, everyone is mixed up in this circle, and they can’t help but leave other movie companies alive.

What's more, Oscar was not disputed in which year?

Moreover, UU reading www.uukanshu.Most of com's attention was quickly attracted to "Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice".

The box office week announced around the Oscar nominations, plus the issuer launched a second wave of publicity offensive, from January 26 to February 1, the sixth week of the release, "Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice" single-week decline Narrowed to 17%, and received USD 31.54 million.The cumulative box office of this DC superhero blockbuster not only reached a new high, but also broke through another key threshold, reaching $504.15 million.

This is why the two companies launched another wave of offensive.

Now, the local box office of "Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice" has exceeded 600 million at the local box office. It is no problem at all, and the goals of Daenerys and Warner Bros. are directly aimed at a further local 700 million mark.

According to the box office curve of the current normal commercial film, the volume of the box office in the super-bat battle has only 30 million US dollars, from 500 million to 700 million, and it seems unlikely to collect another 200 million.However, the Super Bat Wars has gone beyond the scope of ordinary commercial movies, this is a phenomenal blockbuster.

The box office curve of phenomenal movies has never been normal.

What's more, push forward, such as "Return to the Future" and "Ghostbusters", who won the annual box office championship, the local box office of both films exceeded the $200 million threshold, and the first week of the two films Only 18.43 million USD and 23.16 million USD respectively.

Now, "Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice" is already a phenomenal box office blockbuster that is stronger than the two annual crowns of the year. Now it is taking the Oscar shareholder style. The local box office hit the first $700 million box office in North American film history. Record, the probability of success can reach at least 50%.
