Chapter 1355

Simon went to San Francisco at the weekend to discuss with Jeff Bezos and other igritte executives about splitting the China business, which was quite smooth.

Of course, there is no shortage of objections.

With a population of 1.2 billion, the growth of Internet users is visible to the naked eye, and the westero system still has a very deep layout in China. At first glance, it is impossible for anyone to take the initiative to give up.

So Simon is wasting his time.

In fact, the main reason is that the withdrawal is not to give up completely, but to change the company controlled by igritte into shareholding remote control, most of the interests are still preserved, in addition, the software and services business are also preserved, which makes the opposition not so fierce. In addition, this is also an exercise, simulating a small exercise to split the whole igritte.

With the quiet recovery of the Internet industry, the initiative to split igritte, in order to avoid the company is too big, gradually included in the agenda.

Simon was initially thinking about a passive split.

To some extent, it can effectively alleviate the potential confrontation between the westero system and the Washington authorities.

As time goes on, the original idea will inevitably change.

Human nature is greedy, which is determined by gene. The government controlled by human will inevitably push forward.

If Washington puts pressure on the Westeros system and successfully "urges" Simon to be forced to split igritte, then the government team that has made such achievements will surely gain considerable reputation, and then win more votes and get higher support. It is simply beneficial.

With such advantages, the westero system is so "weak". Who can guarantee that other politicians will not follow suit and rush forward one after another?

At that time, igritte may not be the only one to be entangled. Danielis, cersei capital, Cisco, AOL and other westrow system giants will all become targets. Who makes you weak?

Therefore, Simon decided to take the initiative to split igritte at an appropriate time.

In addition to discussing divestiture in China, Simon also looked at the progress of merging instagram this weekend.

In the past, it was also a high-profile merger in the new technology circle. Fortunately, Citigroup's merger with traveller group, which was also a large-scale merger, did not make igrit's acquisition of instagram stand out.

After the project was made public, it inevitably triggered a heated discussion, including some concerns about the suspected monopoly of igrit.

In the end, everything went well.

In the context of the recovery of new technology, igritte, whose market value has once again exceeded the 500 billion mark, has eaten up $20 billion of instagram. By contrast, it seems that nothing can change the industry pattern. Moreover, as we all know, instagram is a member of the westrow system, and igritte has been a shareholder and important partner of instagram from the beginning.

One of the more noticeable fringes is that a group of women related to Simon successfully cashed out a large amount of money and stocks and withdrew from it.

A few years ago, after the Hurst group failed to challenge the westero system, few media dared to talk about Simon westero's lace on a large scale. Therefore, the news was only spread on a small scale.

For the women in the bay area, Simon came here this time and received the news that two big goblins were pregnant successfully.

Waist essence and leg essence.

It is C, D two girls and little Jane did not move, a last run away from the former housekeeper nature even more.

Simon's attitude is still the same. Anyway, he won't be a father himself.

In addition, the unsuccessful women were certainly dissatisfied. This weekend, Simon's interest in some things was greatly reduced. After that, he immediately decided to stay away from women for a week.

Simon plans to finalize the split and divestiture within a month. A decision will be made on this side, and the Chinese side will start to implement it immediately.

In short, in addition, it is inevitable that some people will try to tilt the building and ask the senior management of igritte whether this decision is due to the pressure of the Chinese government or not, Balabala.

Igritte strongly denied it.

However, the argument has spread, and Simon can't control what other people think.

If this causes some capital to start to invest prudently in China's Internet industry, it will just give more development space to the related companies of westero system.

In addition to this action, another big event happened in the week of early May.

From May 5 to May 7, the latest EU summit was held in Brussels, the capital of Belgium. The three-day meeting completely finalized the resolution that the euro should be used as the legal tender of the EU, and planned to be officially issued on January 1, 1999.

On the other hand, Britain insists on the independent status of the pound.

As a latecomer, Simon knows that the decision made at this meeting is equivalent to a fuse for the continued turmoil in Europe in the next few years.

In 1997, the GDP of the United States was 8.6 trillion, while that of the European Union was 7.7 trillion, accounting for 27% and 24% of the global GDP, which is almost the same. This is also on the premise that many European countries have not joined the European Union. At present, the European Union has only 15 member states, while there are still 11 countries that have applied for joining.

If Europe can be twisted into a rope, it can definitely easily compete with the United States.

The fact is that, until many years later, Europe is still in a mess, with different minds, so that the United States can easily do it.

In previous lives, some people have always criticized that Chinese people like infighting, Balabala, in order to gain some sense of superiority from nowhere. In fact, the whole world is the same. It's human nature. Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. It's decided by genes.

This year's summer program starts on May 8.

This Friday, North American cinemas launched three new films. The first one is paramount's new film "fatal Postcard", which is co produced by Fage and dove Wu. Fage plays the leading role. Dove Wu is just a new film produced by butterfly, but it is basically the same as dove Wu's one.

The film costs 30 million US dollars and has 1867 screens.

Because of the success of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon last year, and the fame of white dove Wu as the producer, this film is quite popular.

The other is a black comedy called "hot girls in love," which costs 15 million dollars and opens a screen for 1021 yuan. The film is produced by Fox and directed by the Hollywood female director Daisy Meyer. This female director's small budget independent film "party girl" three years ago has gained a very good reputation and considerable commercial feedback, so she has this opportunity.

Unfortunately, this romantic comedy, which is trying to turn to a commercial style, is a bit of a flop. Critics are full of ridicule, criticizing dais Meyer for completely compromising with business. The comprehensive media score is only 3.3, so the prospect is conceivable.

Finally, Spike Lee's new film singles, a basketball themed film produced by MGM, costs $18 million, starring Jesse Allen, the son of NBA star Ray Allen, danzel Washington as the father of the hero, and a large number of NBA stars such as Michael Jordan. The lineup can be described as strong. MGM has given 1576 opening screens, Obviously, there are also expectations.

All in all, the three new films are still just the front stop.

The first major film of danielis entertainment summer program, "secrets of Los Angeles," will start next week. Although the production cost is only $35 million, Brad Pitt, Nicole Kidman and other big names will take part in the film. The director is Brian De Palma, which is the first hot spot of the summer program.
