Chapter 569

With the 58list job fraud ended in an embarrassing reversal of traditional print media, the incident is basically settled.

Simon was left to the igritte team to handle the subsequent events, and he began to take maternity leave with the two women.

Both Jennie's due dates are in early November, from September to November, about two months. Although it's impossible to completely ignore everything, Simon only plans to spend an hour or two at home every day asking about the company's affairs, instead of going to work every day.

The only problem is flying between Los Angeles and San Francisco.

In fact, I really want to arrange the two women together, but as I get pregnant, the female assistant is more and more disagreeable. She always feels strange and guilty in front of Janet.

She spent the weekend with her assistant in San Francisco and left early Monday morning to return to Los Angeles.

"A case in Miami that also claimed that she had been cheated on 58list was reversed yesterday. The woman who claimed to be cheated just wanted to blackmail some compensation from the website. The 58list team has started to file fraud and reputation infringement lawsuits. On the Washington side, the New York Times Group submitted a report to the Senate over the weekend, accusing the classified information service provided by 58list of being a low-cost dumping in disguise, aiming to destroy the entity classified information advertising industry and realize monopoly. Mr. schrap thinks that it is the best solution to actively promote Congress to hold a hearing on 58list website, which can be avoided as far as possible A formal investigation is initiated by the Department of justice or Congress. Oh, and one more thing, Ms. Brill just fired the Weinstein brothers over the weekend. "

Return to Los Angeles within the Boeing 767.

Simon leans leisurely on the sofa in the front living room, flipping through a play and listening to girl a report some company matters.

Hearing that Nancy Brill suddenly fired the Weinstein brothers, Simon finally looked up and said, "what's the matter?"

Sitting on the side sofa, Alison glanced at her boss and said, "Harvey Weinstein's attempt to invade an actress, a wma artist, after his audition in New York on Friday, Mr. Friedman's personal intervention has been suppressed. However, Ms. Brill later learned that the decision was made on Sunday. "

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

Originally, it was thought that Weinstein brothers were recruited by Nancy to Blockbuster Entertainment, and then they might compete with gaomen film in the field of art film. In fact, Simon is willing to see that only competition can ensure that gaomen film team will not slack off.

Just did not expect, things have not started, it would be this kind of result.

Harvey Weinstein is nothing in Hollywood.

The Weinstein incident broke out because the Weinstein brothers lost their power in Hollywood. They thought that their wings were hard enough to break away from the Disney system. Instead of having a big backing, they became competitors of other big Hollywood studios. Their buttocks were not clean. Who's bad luck if you don't.

It's just that Hollywood probably didn't expect that things would be so big at that time.

This time.

Simon doesn't have to go into too much detail to understand what's going on.

Miramax went bankrupt in the first half of the year, and suddenly joined danielis entertainment in Hollywood. Harvey Weinstein inevitably relapsed.

But Harvey may have overlooked that his direct supervisor is a woman with strong personality, independence and feminism. As a result, just joined the Blockbuster Entertainment, has not made any achievements, to make such a mess, you do not go away who go away ah.

If you don't cherish such a good opportunity, you can only accept your life.

Simon thought for a moment and said, "you ask Amy to say hello to the other studios and let the Weinstein brothers disappear from Hollywood."

The Weinstein brothers are absolutely capable.

Since our company can't use it, Simon won't give other film companies a chance. If they want to form a competitor, they will be in trouble.

Alison agreed to write it down in the memo.

I just can't help thinking about Nancy Brill biting her boss on the chin.

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

Alison looked up at Simon and shook her head solemnly. "You're the boss."

"Employees can fire their boss, too," Simon said with a smile

Alison pauses to understand what Simon is asking. She can't help but avoid her boss's eyes. She lowers her eyes and says, "no way."

"It looks like I can do whatever I want."

I want to look up at him.

It seems that I read something secretly in my heart.

So he didn't talk.

The nib draws a circle on the memo and another circle in the circle. Click two points to fill the eyes and add the ears.After a moment's silence, Alison took the lead in responding, and then went on reporting some things. Finally, she turned out a Forbes magazine just released today and said, "boss, do you want to see it?"

Today is Monday, September 6th.

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

Simon actually knew the data of this issue in advance.

When I saw the magazine handed by girl a, I still took it.

The cover is a dense vistro investment map.

Forbes actually wanted a picture of Simon more, but it was not unexpected that it was rejected.

In recent years, although Simon's name has hardly been cut off in the media, his own photos are very rare, even the blurred photos of paparazzi, and the reports about his private life are increasingly rare.

When it comes to publicity, it has already been publicized.

Now keep a low profile, can avoid to give a lot of people a westero everywhere oppressive feeling.

This actually reduces a lot of trouble.

At the top of the dense investment map, there is a very conspicuous black figure of $120 billion.

120 billion dollars!

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

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

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

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

Among them, AOL and Cisco have a recent market value of $35.6 billion and $38.7 billion respectively.

According to Simon's shareholding in the two companies, his assets alone are worth more than $40 billion.

Microsoft, Intel, Oracle, sun, situ and other listed technology companies are heavily held by westero, and Forbes magazine has contributed 13 billion US dollars to Simon's personal wealth in the process of statistics.

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

According to the average stock price of one week after the IPO on August 20, the value of Simon's shares also reached about $60.

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

Simon's unlisted company also has huge assets.

Four very special women in the westero system, Denise, melisandro, igrit and cersei, are all unlisted companies.

In the first half of the year, igritte just raised one billion US dollars with a valuation of 15 billion US dollars, which publicly confirmed the huge potential value of this Internet enterprise. The valuation of 15 billion US dollars was three times higher than that of 5 billion US dollars last year.

Danielis entertainment has also started the preliminary IPO preparation, and its valuation has increased by US $5 billion to US $25 billion compared with last year.

Melisandro, whose luxury industry continues to expand, is also valued at $5 billion compared with last year.

Cersei capital, the valuation given by Forbes, is about the same as last year, at $10 billion.

Together, the four "women" contributed $55 billion to Simon's personal wealth.

In addition to four women, westero also has a very important non listed company, Verizon Telecom, which completed the acquisition and integration with MCA. Compared with last year's valuation of $10 billion, Forbes estimates the value of $15 billion this year.

Four women, plus Verizon, that's another $70 billion.

This is already $130 billion.

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

With the growing industrial distribution of westero system, it is difficult to count and estimate the assets of many small-scale or low shareholding non listed companies and Simon westero's personal wealth such as cash, property and real estate.

Forbes gives a rough figure of $10 billion.

According to Forbes, the debt amount of westrow system was $16 billion last year, and this year's figure is about $20 billion.

Many of the investment and expansion of the westrow system in the past year, including the construction of the westrow building in Manhattan and the personal consumption of the Simon and his wife, are actually in the form of bank loans.

If other rich people increase their debt by $4 billion a year, their personal financial situation may be in jeopardy. However, compared with the huge scale of the whole westrow system, an increase of 4 billion in debt in one year is actually not much.

If necessary, Simon westero could easily sell some of his core assets, even if he wanted to pay off his $20 billion debt in full.As a result, according to the comprehensive statistics, the total assets of $140 billion, minus the liabilities of about $20 billion of westero system, Simon westero's personal net assets reached $120 billion.

$120 billion, more than twice the $50.7 billion wealth of all the other Forbes rich people.

Moreover, according to this year's Forbes list of the 400 richest people in the United States, the combined wealth of the 400 richest people is only $469.1 billion.

That includes Simon's $120 billion, of course.

In other words, Simon's $120 billion net worth alone is more than a third of the $349.1 billion of the other 399 top American millionaires.

On a more macro-economic level, Simon's personal net assets are equivalent to 1.8% of the US GDP of 6.5 trillion in 1992, which has exceeded 1.5% of the Rockefeller family's peak in that year.

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

A truly rich country!
