Hollywood Hunter

As the 58list job search fraud case ended in a reversal that embarrassed traditional paper media, the incident was basically determined by the dust.

In the subsequent handling of some incidents, Simon was handed over to the Igreat team to take responsibility, and he himself began to accompany the two women on maternity leave.

Both Jenny's due dates are in early November, from September to November, which is about two months. Although it is impossible to completely ignore everything after all, Simon only intends to spend one or two hours at home every day to inquire about the company's affairs, and no longer go to the company to work every day.

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

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

I spent the weekend with the female assistant in San Francisco after handling the fraud, and left for Los Angeles early on Monday morning.

"A case in Miami that also claimed to have been fraudulent in applying for a job on 58list also reversed yesterday. The woman who claimed to be fooled just wanted to blackmail some compensation from the website. The 58list team has already started to file fraud and reputation infringement lawsuits. Washington. , The New York Times Group submitted a report to the Senate over the weekend, accusing 58list of providing classified information services as a form of low-price dumping, with the purpose of destroying the entity classified information advertising industry and achieving monopoly. A hearing on 58list website is the best solution, so as to avoid the Department of Justice or Congress from launching a formal investigation. Oh, one more thing, Ms. Brill just fired the Weinstein brothers over the weekend."

Return to the Boeing 767 in Los Angeles.

Simon casually leaned on the sofa in the front cabin, flipping through a script at will while listening to Girl A reporting some company matters.

Hearing that Nancy Brill suddenly fired the Weinstein brothers, Simon finally raised his head and looked at his side: "What's the matter?"

Alison sat on the side sofa, glanced at his boss, and said: "Harvey Weinstein tried to assault an actress, an artist under WMA, after finishing an audition for a movie in New York last Friday. Mr. Friedman was already suppressed after personally interrogating. However, Ms. Brill also learned later, and made this decision on Sunday."

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

Originally thought that the Weinstein brothers were recruited by Nancy to be under Blockbuster Entertainment, and then they might fight against Gaomen Films in the field of literary films. This is actually what Simon would like to see. Competition can guarantee the Gaomen Films team. Will not slack off.

But I didn't expect that things hadn't started yet, it would turn out to be such a result.

Harvey Weinstein's mess is really nothing in Hollywood.

Once the Weinstein incident broke out, it was because the Weinstein brothers lost power in Hollywood. They thought their wings were hard enough to break away from the Disney system. Without a big backing, they became competitors of other major Hollywood studios. It’s not clean.

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

This time.

Simon probably understood what happened without asking too much detail.

Miramax went bankrupt in the first half of the year, and suddenly joined Hollywood's thriving Daenerys Entertainment's subordinate, Harvey Weinstein will inevitably return to the old fashioned.

It's just that Harvey probably overlooked one point. His immediate boss is a woman, and a woman with a strong personality and obvious feminist tendencies. So, when I joined Blockbuster Entertainment, I did this kind of mess without any results. Who are you?

If you don't cherish such a good chance to recover, you can only accept your fate.

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

The Weinstein brothers are absolutely capable.

Since its own company cannot use it, Simon will not give other film companies a chance. It will be troublesome if it becomes a competitor.

Alison agreed, lowering his head to write down the incident on the memo.

It's just that Nancy Brill bit her boss's jaw in her mind.

Simon suddenly asked, "A, do you think Nancy will fire me too?"

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

"Employees can also fire the boss," Simon smiled, and said again: "How about you?"

Alison paused, understanding what Simon was asking, couldn't help avoiding his boss's gaze, lowered his eyes and said, "No."

"It seems I can do whatever I want."

I really want to look up at him.

It seemed to say something secretly in my heart.

So he stopped talking.

The pen tip drew a circle on the memo, and then drew a circle in the circle. Tap two points to fill the eyes and add ears.

After a moment of silence, Alison was the first to react, and quickly continued to report some things, and finally turned out a "Forbes" magazine that was just released today, and said: "Boss, do you want to read it?"

Today is September 6th, Monday.

"Forbes" announced half a month ago that it will announce the latest issue of the US 400 rich list in today's issue of the magazine.

Simon actually knew the data of this list in advance.

Seeing the magazine handed by Girl A, I accepted it.

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

"Forbes" actually wanted a picture of Simon even more, but was unsurprisingly rejected.

In recent years, although Simon's name has hardly been cut off in the media, photos of him are very rare. There are even few vague photos taken by paparazzi, and reports on his private life are becoming rarer.

It has been publicized when it should be publicized.

Keeping a low profile now can avoid giving many people a sense of oppression that Westero is everywhere.

This actually reduces a lot of trouble.

Right above the intensive investment landscape is a very conspicuous blacked number: $120Billion.

120 billion dollars!

This is almost double that of 65 billion US dollars last year.

Open the magazine, the first few pages are the detailed list of the 400 richest Americans.

As usual, the top ten took up a full page.

First place: Simon Westeros, 120 billion US dollars.

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 US dollars.

In this year's list, Simon's Yiqi Juechen and the Walton Family Five are still the two most prominent parts.

Damen student became the second tens of billions of dollars. This should have been something worth reading. Unfortunately, the personal net worth of 10.5 billion US dollars is still not even a fraction of Simon's wealth.

Moreover, compared with the original time and space in 1993, the net worth of Damen students has increased a lot earlier.

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

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

This time, because of the early rise of the new technology wave and the popularization of the Internet, personal computers quickly got rid of simple office use and began to enter millions of households like televisions, video recorders and other products. 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, and further promoted Damen students to become the second tens of billions of dollars in federal history.

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

On the top ten list, the other surprise to Simon is Rupert Murdoch.

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

Simon also knows that the growth of Murdoch’s fortune is mainly due to the global growth of News Corporation’s television business. As for the newspaper business, which has always been regarded as the foundation of Murdoch, now anyone with a discerning eye knows that the paper media industry is growing. It has already begun to decline under the impact of the Internet.

Moreover, even though he is over 60 years old, Rupert Murdoch does not have the conservative mentality of a traditional businessman. News Corp. has begun to invest in Internet technology companies, and Murdoch has consulted Simon more than once.

In Simon's view, Murdoch's point is much stronger than Redstone.

Although they are all strong men in the business world, the former Redstone has stagnated after completing Viacom's layout in the traditional media field, and has been on a downward **** since the new century.

This time, it is impossible to complete the acquisition of Paramount like the original time and space, and Viacom will definitely be unable to annex CBS in the future. Sam Redstone is likely to be like another media tycoon who is also unable to keep up with the times. Like Kruger, he gradually disappeared from the top of the rich list.

Following the list is a feature article introducing the 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 have two recent market capitalizations of US$35.6 billion and US$38.7 billion respectively.

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

Westeros has heavily held shares of Microsoft, Intel, Oracle, SUN, Silicon Graphics and other listed technology companies, and the personal wealth contributed to Simon during the statistics of Forbes magazine reached 13 billion US dollars.

There is also Nokia, which has just been listed recently.

"Forbes" calculates the value of Simon's stock based on the average stock price value of the week after listing on August 20 and reached about $60.

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

The assets of non-listed companies under Simon's name are also huge.

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

In the first half of the year, Eaglet had just raised 1 billion U.S. dollars at a valuation of 15 billion U.S. dollars, which publicly confirmed the huge potential value of this Internet company. The valuation of 15 billion U.S. dollars was a full three-fold increase from last year’s 5 billion U.S. dollars. .

Daenerys Entertainment has also started the preliminary IPO preparations, and its valuation has increased by 5 billion U.S. dollars compared with last year, reaching 25 billion U.S. dollars.

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

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

The four ‘women’ together contributed to Simon’s personal wealth of US$55 billion.

In addition to the four women, Westeros also has a very important non-listed company. Verizon Telecom, which was acquired and integrated with MCA, compared with last year’s $10 billion valuation. Forbes this year The value is estimated at 15 billion U.S. dollars.

Four women plus Verizon Telecom, this is another 70 billion US dollars.

Two integrations, this is already 130 billion US dollars.

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

As the industrial layout of the Westeros system becomes larger and larger, many of the assets of non-listed companies with small scales or low shareholding ratios and the personal wealth of cash, properties, real estate and other holdings in the hands of Simon Westero appear It is difficult to count and estimate.

This part of the wealth, "Forbes" gave a rough figure of 10 billion US dollars.

"Forbes" last year calculated that the amount of debt of the Westeros system was US$16 billion, and this year's figure is about US$20 billion.

Many of the investments and expansions of the Westeros system in the past year, including the construction of the Westeros Building in Manhattan and the personal consumption of the Simons, were actually carried out in the form of bank loans.

If it is other rich people who increase their debts by $4 billion in a year, their personal financial situation may be in jeopardy. However, relative to the huge scale of the entire Westeros system, the debt scale increased by 4 billion in one year, which is not much at all.

If necessary, Simon Westeros can easily sell off some of his core assets, even if he wants to fully pay off his $20 billion debt.

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

US$120 billion is equivalent to more than double the US$50.7 billion wealth of the top ten on the Forbes list.

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

Which of course also includes Simon's 120 billion US dollars.

In other words, only Simon’s US$120 billion in personal net worth is more than one-third of the US$349.1 billion of the other 399 top rich Americans.

On a more macroeconomic level, Simon's personal net worth is equivalent to 1.8% of the US's 1992 GDP of 6.5 trillion, which has exceeded 1.5% of the Rockefeller family's peak.

At the same time, Simon's US$120 billion in personal net worth, if counted as an economy, is enough to surpass Russia, Portugal, Israel and other countries in the world GDP list in 1992, ranking 27th.

Really rich and enemy country!
