Hollywood Hunter

Chapter 504: Impossible to be neutral

Malibu, Dome Point Manor.

The time is already October 15th, Thursday.

As soon as she entered the restaurant in the morning, Girl A handed over a copy of today's "Washington Post" and made a special standard in an article.

An official of the U.S. Department of Justice told the media yesterday afternoon that it is considering the possibility of launching an antitrust investigation on Eaglet’s Internet Explorer.

Considering the tendency of Bill Clinton in news reports on Eaglet Portal recently, the pertinence of this article is very obvious.

Janet had already read the report, eating breakfast next to the man, and said: "The White House is really anxious now."

Simon finished reading the article, put down the newspaper and said, "As expected, but the problem is not big."

The polling day for the presidential election is November 3, which is less than three weeks away. Once George Bush loses the election, as one of the president's cabinets, the Justice Department will definitely be reorganized.

Although the Department of Justice is not the only one who has the authority to investigate antitrust investigations, at least within the sphere of influence of the White House, this matter may not stop at that time.

Simon clearly remembers Facebook’s misfortune for several consecutive years after the 2016 election, a series of privacy leaks, Russian investigations, etc., in the final analysis, it was Facebook that played a crucial role in the election of a non-establishment faction in the 2016 election. effect.

As a result, the traditional establishment has spent several years repeatedly tossing about this company, and the purpose is also obvious: next time ‘leisure’.

As a Facebook spokesperson said in his memory, Amazon's excessive collection and use of user information is more serious than Facebook, and considering the leaked "Prism Gate" plan, the so-called privacy rights of American netizens are after all just a statement. That's it.

Therefore, the Eaglet Portal clearly supported Clinton during this period, but it was actually very risky.

However, the risk is much lower than that of Facebook.

Facebook has largely promoted a ‘non-professional player’ to the top, which is tantamount to offending all ‘professional players’. Both parties in the United States are very dissatisfied with this company.

This time, Bill Clinton still belongs to the establishment.

Moreover, this time the presidential election, if the results of the election are the same as remembered, then the top leader is Ross Perot. The two parties in the United States will also pay more attention to the possibility of third-party elections in the future. Impact.

Although the American media often advertises justice and freedom, there are actually various factions.

Left-wing media, right-wing media, Republican newspapers, Democratic newspapers, etc.

The difference between Eaglet Portal is that, compared with traditional newspapers, the user scale of this online information platform is too large. At this stage, the user scale is more than ten times that of the largest newspaper in the United States.

Moreover, different from the "Hundred Flowers" after the rise of the original space-time Internet industry in 1995, the current World Wide Web platform is almost monopolized by the Egreat Portal.

The browser software belongs to Yigrete, the portal business belongs to Yigrete, and the email service belongs to Yigrete. Now it has developed to tens of thousands of theme forum sections belonging to Yigrete, and the web blog business belongs to Yigrete. Great...

Although the number of Internet sites based on World Wide Web technology has exploded to more than 500,000 in the past half a year, users using the World Wide Web platform cannot circumvent the various network products of Eaglet. The search engine and website navigation provided by Eaglet Portal determine the popularity of many Internet sites.

This is indeed a monopoly.

But it is also a natural monopoly.

The Internet at this stage is not without other network formats. It is just that the World Wide Web technology has just been launched, and it has shown a relatively mature state. From browser software to portals, from HTML to JS scripting languages, all parties see Come, are undoubtedly the most suitable for the future of the Internet.

Then, after more than two years of promotion, the World Wide Web technology has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Coupled with the rapid outbreak of the Internet industry based on World Wide Web technology, as well as the absolute support of AOL and Cisco in services and hardware, even if it realizes the powerful advantages and potential benefits of Eaglet’s monopoly on World Wide Web technology, it is not at this stage. There may be other companies that completely bypass the World Wide Web-related technologies to introduce another set of network technology standards.

It's like the Bell Telephone Company in the past.

The telecommunications industry in the United States had sprouted at the end of the nineteenth century, but it was not until 1984 that AT-T, an industry giant that had monopolized the telecommunications industry for nearly half a century, was finally dismantled.

Simon is very clear that the scale of the Internet industry will far exceed that of the traditional telecommunications industry in the future. However, apart from him, a rebirth with a prophetic advantage, it is obviously impossible for anyone in this world to realize this.

As long as Clinton comes to power, throughout the 1990s, the United States will have very loose laws and policies on the Internet industry, and the Westeros system will have enough time to make its layout in the Internet field more entrenched.

Therefore, the public support of Igreat Portal this time for Bill Clinton is definitely risky, but it is also destined to benefit infinitely.

In addition, Simon chose to do so, there are other considerations.

The development of the Westeros system in recent years has been like a snowball. In this process, Simon has always tried to manage his own business empire by adopting a certain kind of golden mean that he has in his bones as an orientalist, trying to balance the interests of all parties and operating the Japanese stock market In the end, he chose to package his assets and sell them to the Japanese government to avoid certain conflicts. In the two acquisitions last year, we tried to woo all parties to share their interests as much as possible to avoid conflicts, and even transferred overseas funds back to China to provide data to the US government. Billion dollars in taxes serve as a bargaining chip.

However, this kind of golden mean cannot be sustained.

True neutrality is impossible.

The reason why Switzerland was able to maintain its neutrality during World War II was because this country provided both sides with a political and financial easing channel, and even a way out. Without these effects, neither side of the war would allow the country to stay out of the way. As for Switzerland’s external propaganda, all citizens rely on force to maintain their neutral status. This is a school flower.

Similarly, the Westeros system has not considered true neutrality from the beginning.

Simon began to support the Democratic Party very early.

Although everyone is well aware of this kind of support, the Westeros system has been half-concealed, as if it is leaving a ‘retreat’ that may turn at any time. This is obviously not a good decision.

The public support for Bill Clinton this time is a complete stand-up of the Westeros system.

As for the result.

The well-known Koch family in the United States has been the major funder of the Republican Party for decades, but the Koch Industrial Group has not been targeted, and remains the strongest private industrial group in the United States.

Bill Clinton is a man with very strong political skills. Although he has experienced a series of incidents after his election, he has also run a strong rectification network for the Clinton family. It can be said that Clinton's election this time basically determines the political pattern of the United States in the next two decades.

Twenty years, enough Westeros system is deeply rooted.

Simon has talked with Janet about these things in private.

Although it is clear that the news in the "Washington Post" means more deterrence, but after breakfast, Janet said that she would communicate with Joseph Schrapp in New York in the morning and come up with a set of public relations strategies to deal with it. come out.

The two had already developed some ideas during breakfast.

It is completely ready.

Give as much firepower as possible to the ‘tall man’ Rose Perot.

Anyway. ,

Many things will be settled in the next three weeks.

Simon rushed to the music center in downtown Los Angeles this morning.

The first Victoria's Secret Fashion Show will be held at the Dorothy Chandler Theater in the Los Angeles Music Center.

The Victoria's Secret show in my memory is mostly held in New York, and New York is indeed more fashionable than Los Angeles.

However, in order to get closer this time, Simon did not repeatedly toss about the east and west coasts.

In the final analysis, this big show is just a grand brand promotion lasting several months.

Judging from the continuous exposure of the Victoria's Secret brand and the steadily increasing revenue of Victoria's Secret stores in recent months, the big show has not been officially released, and the marketing effect has already appeared.

Leslie Wexner sighed more than once. The $10 million budget in exchange for such a promotion effect is a huge profit.

The date of the big show was finally set on November 7, the Saturday after the election day of the presidential election, and the TV broadcast date was November 12, just before the Thanksgiving holiday schedule.

Starting in September, this big show began to sell tickets in limited quantities. The team did not hesitate in this matter, saying that all ticket revenues will be used for charity.

Because the hype of this big show is very high, although the price of tickets sold to the outside world is as high as 1,000 US dollars, in some people's eyes, it is simply frantic, but the 500 tickets sold in limited quantities have been swept away.

A total of 1,000 tickets, 500 tickets sold, and the remaining 500 tickets will be given away for free through various channels.

Therefore, the free ticket delivery activities held by Victoria's Secret on the official website and official blog have also made Internet information related to this brand a traffic hot spot.

Then, one side complained that the ticket price was too high, and on the other side, because of the limited supply of tickets, there was a scalping phenomenon.

During this period, many media are reporting that the highest Victoria's Secret ticket on the market has been fired to more than US$3,000.

Not only that, it is rumored that VIP tickets that can participate in the Victoria's Secret Show after party and have close contact with a supermodel superstar are even more expensive.

Seeing the growing influence of this fashion show, both the director Michael Bay and the supermodels participating in the show are paying more and more attention. Although the pay for participating in the catwalks is not high, none of the Victoria's Secret Angel team complained about frequent fashion and rehearsals.

After a few months, not only the Victoria's Secret show itself, but any Victoria's Secret angel who is about to participate in the catwalk, the exposure rate in the media has increased significantly.

Everyone knows that as long as this big show is successfully completed, many people's careers will enter another stage.

As a result, when Elite replaced one of its Victoria’s Secret Angel models and replaced it with Naja Allman, it was rumored that the model named Natasha Henstridge almost collapsed. Elite founder and president John · Casablanca personally came forward to appease each other, and promised some other benefits to avoid this model from causing more trouble.

However, this matter was dug up by newspapers and appeared in the media.

Moreover, in the eyes of some people, the inside story cannot be clearer.

Naja Allman, after all, is the ‘legs’ that Westeros personally picked up.

Of course, there are other different points of view.

If it is Westeros who wants to support the other party, he can give an angel position at the beginning, and even the spokesperson is not impossible. As a result, it is the waist essence who has obtained the qualification of the Victoria's Secret spokesperson. The leg essence is basically Not selected for the catwalk team, so there was negative news of'falling out of favor' in front of Westeros.

The specific inside story of the matter can only exist in the various lace fantasies of the media.

After such small twists and turns, Naja Allman’s exposure rate has also increased drastically for a while. In the near future, as long as he appears in public, there will be a series of paparazzi to follow up sneak shots. The girl also signed an actor contract with WMA, even though many people It is clear that it is unlikely that such a tall girl wants to develop in Hollywood, but it does not prevent the media from being hyped.

As the Victoria's Secret show approached, most of the Victoria's Secret Angels began to reside in Los Angeles.

As a result, the city of angels, which was originally not full of fashion, seems to have suddenly begun to struggle for beauty.

Some media have also begun to speculate whether the Westeros system will take the lead in hosting a Los Angeles Fashion Week.

At this stage, the catwalk style of the models is mainly soft and graceful, and the women's underwear in the early nineties is relatively conservative. In Simon's view, these are somewhat incompatible with his own aesthetics. Therefore, Simon did not pay much attention to Victoria's Secret during this period, mainly on these two aspects.

After several months of careful preparation, he also believes that this big show will definitely bring some subversive effects to the fashion industry.

As the Victoria's Secret show is approaching, Daenerys Entertainment's series of key films at the end of the year have also begun large-scale marketing.

Daenerys Entertainment’s year-end schedule roughly starts with Halloween.

Nicole Kidman has been on the run for the past two months to promote the upcoming release of "Midnight Bell" on October 30.

After several internal trial screenings, the reputation of "Midnight Ring" was basically confirmed. Some viewers who participated in the internal audition even compared "Midnight Bell" with the original "Exorcist".

Simon certainly doesn't expect "Midnight Bell" to catch up with "The Exorcist", as long as it can hold up the due performance of this Halloween schedule.
