Remember in one second [End of the God Station] Mobile phone user input address: m.xinwanben.com

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

For the handling of subsequent incidents, Simon was handed over to the Igreit team to be responsible for himself, and he himself began to accompany the two women on maternity leave.

The due date of the two Jennys is in early November, from September to November, which is about two months. Although it is impossible to completely ignore everything, Simon only intends to spend an hour or two at home every day to inquire about the company's affairs, and will no longer go to the company to work every day.

The only small hassle is the need to fly back and forth between Los Angeles and San Francisco.

In fact, I really wanted to arrange the two women together, but as the pregnancy progressed, the female assistant became more and more disagreeable, and always felt weird and guilty in front of Janet.

She spent the weekend with her female assistant in San Francisco after the scam was dealt with, and left for Los Angeles early Monday morning.

"A case in Miami that also claimed a job scam on 58list reversed yesterday. The woman who claimed she was deceived was just trying to extort some compensation from the site. The 58list team has already started filing fraud and reputation infringement lawsuits. Washington side. , The New York Times Group submitted a report to the Senate over the weekend, accusing the classified information service provided by 58list as a disguised low-price dumping aimed at destroying the entity classified information advertising industry and realizing a monopoly. A hearing on 58list is the best solution to avoid a formal investigation by the Department of Justice or Congress as much as possible. Oh, and one more thing, Ms. Brill just fired the Weinsteins over the weekend.”

Inside the Boeing 767 back in Los Angeles.

Simon leaned leisurely on the sofa in the living room of the front cabin, while casually flipping through a script while listening to Lady A reporting some company matters.

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

Alison sat on the side sofa, glanced at her boss, and said: "Harvey Weinstein tried to assault an actress, an entertainer under wma, after finishing a movie audition in New York last Friday, Mr. Friedman has been put down after his personal inquiries. However, Ms. Brill then learned and the decision was made on Sunday."

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

Originally thought that the Weinstein brothers were recruited by Nancy to Blockbuster Entertainment, and then they might compete with Gaomen Pictures in the field of literary films. This is actually what Simon wants to see. Only competition can ensure Gaomen Pictures team. No slack.

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

Harvey Weinstein's mess is nothing in Hollywood.

The former 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. Without a big backer, they became competitors to other big Hollywood studios. It's not clean, you are not unlucky, who is unlucky.

It's just that the whole of Hollywood probably didn't expect things to be so big at the time.

This time.

Simon can probably figure out what happened without asking in too much detail.

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

It's just that Harvey probably overlooked one point. His immediate boss was a woman, and she was a woman with a strong personality and obvious feminist tendencies. So, I just joined Blockbuster Entertainment, and I haven't made any achievements yet.

If you don't cherish such a good opportunity to come back, you can only accept your fate.

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

The Weinstein brothers are absolutely capable.

Since his own company can't use it, Simon will not give other film companies a chance, and it will be troublesome if it becomes a competitor.

Alison agrees, lowering her head to jot it down on the memo.

It's just that I can't help but think of Nancy Brill biting her boss' chin.

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."

"The employee can also fire the boss," Simon smiled and said, "How about you?"

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

"Looks like I can do whatever I want."

I wanted to look up at him.

I felt like I was secretly thinking something.

So don't speak.

The tip of the pen draws a circle on the memo, draws another circle inside the circle, clicks two dots, fills in the eyes, and adds the ears.

After a moment of silence, Alison was the first to react, and hurriedly continued to report some things. Finally, she pulled out a Forbes magazine that was just released today, and said, "Boss, do you want to take a look?"

Today is Monday, September 6th.

"Forbes" announced two weeks ago that it will announce the latest issue of the list of the 400 richest Americans in today's issue.

Simon actually already

After knowing the data of this list.

Seeing the magazine that girl a handed over, she still took it.

The cover is a dense investment map of the Westeros system.

Forbes actually wanted a picture of Simon more, only to be rejected unsurprisingly.

In recent years, although Simon's name has almost never been cut off in the media, his own photos are very rare, and there are not even a few blurry photos taken by paparazzi, and reports about his private life are becoming more and more rare.

The time to show off has already been done.

Keeping a low profile for now will avoid giving a lot of people a sense of oppression that is pervasive in Westeros.

This actually reduces a lot of trouble.

Right above the dense investment map is a very prominent blacked-out number: $120billion.

$120 billion!

That's almost double from last year's $65 billion.

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

The top ten, as usual, take up a full page.

No. 1: Simon Westeros, $120 billion.

Second place: Bill Gates, $10.5 billion.

Third: Warren Buffett, $8.3 billion.

Fourth place: John Kruger, $5.9 billion.

Fifth place: Helen Walton, $4.5 billion.

Sixth: Robinson Walton, $4.5 billion.

Seventh: Jim Walton, $4.5 billion.

Eighth: John Walton, $4.5 billion.

No. 9: Alice Walton, $4.5 billion.

10th: Rupert Murdoch, $3.5 billion.

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

The door classmate became the second billionaire with tens of billions of dollars. This should have been a big book. Unfortunately, the personal net worth of 10.5 billion US dollars is still less than a fraction of Simon's net worth.

Moreover, compared with 1993 in the original time and space, the net worth of the door classmates has increased a lot in advance.

In memory, Bill Gates should have ranked second to Warren Buffett in 1993 with a personal net worth of $6.1 billion.

Historically, due to the impact of the economic environment, the demand for personal computers positioned as office products has been relatively sluggish in the early 1990s, thus limiting the development of operating system software provider Microsoft.

This time, due to the early rise of the new technology wave and the popularization of the Internet, personal computers quickly broke away from simple office use and began to enter thousands of households like TVs, VCRs and other products, which led to the continuous increase in PC sales in recent years.

As one of the alliance partners of the Westeros system to promote the development of the Internet, Microsoft has also benefited from this wave, thereby promoting the gate student to become the second tens of billions of dollars in federal history.

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

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

Compared with last year's $2.6 billion, the Australian-born media tycoon's personal net worth has increased by $900 million this year. Although it only ranks 10th, and is not far behind the other rich people in the next few places, it is considered to be in the list. The threshold of the top ten list, even Sam Redstone, who had been pressing on his head, was thrown off this time.

Simon also knows that the growth of Murdoch's net worth is mainly due to the global growth of News Corporation's TV business. As for the newspaper business, which has always been regarded by Murdoch as the foundation, as long as anyone with a discerning eye now understands that the paper media industry is in It has begun to decline under the impact of the Internet.

Moreover, although he is over sixty years old, Rupert Murdoch does not have the old-fashioned mentality of traditional businessmen at all. News Corporation 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 strongmen in the business world, the former Redstone has stagnated after completing the layout of Viacom in the traditional media field, and has been in a state of decline since the new century.

This time, the acquisition of Paramount cannot be completed like the original time and space, Viacom will certainly be unable to annex CBS in the future, and Sam Redstone is likely to be like another media tycoon who is also unable to keep up with the times. Like Krueger, he gradually disappeared from the top of the rich list.

The list is followed by a feature article detailing 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.

Two of them, AOL and Cisco, have recent market capitalizations 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.

Listed technology companies such as Microsoft, Intel, Oracle, Sun, and Silicon Graphics, which are heavily held by Westeros, have contributed to Simon’s personal wealth of $13 billion in the process of Forbes magazine’s statistics.

There is also the recently listed Nokia.

According to Forbes, according to the average stock price value in the week after its listing on August 20, the value of Simon’s shares also reached about $60.

Just the shares of these listed technology companies have brought Simon's wealth close to 60 billion US dollars.

Simon's name

of unlisted companies are equally large.

Four very special women in the Westeros system, Daenerys, Melisandre, Igret and Cersei, are all private companies.

Among them, Igreit has just raised one billion US dollars at a valuation of US$15 billion in the first half of the year, publicly confirming the huge potential value of this Internet company. The valuation of US$15 billion has tripled compared to the US$5 billion last year. .

Daenerys Entertainment has also started pre-IPO preparations, and its valuation has increased by $5 billion compared to last year, reaching $25 billion.

Melisandre, who has continued to expand in the luxury industry, has also raised its valuation to $5 billion compared to last year.

Cersei Capital, according to Forbes, is the same as last year at $10 billion.

Combined, the four 'women' contributed to Simon's personal wealth of $55 billion.

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

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

With two integrations, this is already $130 billion.

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

As the industrial layout of the Westeros system becomes larger and larger, many of the assets of unlisted companies with a small scale or a low shareholding ratio, as well as personal wealth such as cash, properties, and real estate held in the hands of Simon Westeros, appear to be It is difficult to count and estimate.

For this part of the wealth, Forbes gave a rough figure of 10 billion US dollars.

Forbes last year put the debt of the Westeros system at $16 billion, and this year's figure is about $20 billion.

Much of the investment and expansion of the Westeros system over the past year, including the construction of the Westeros Tower in Manhattan and the Simons’ personal consumption, has actually been in the form of bank loans.

If it is other rich people, adding $ 4 billion in debt a year, personal financial situation may be in jeopardy. However, compared to the huge scale of the entire Westeros system, an increase of 4 billion in debt in one year is actually not much at all.

If necessary, it is easy for Simon Westeros to sell off some core assets, even if he wants to fully pay off his $20 billion in liabilities.

Therefore, after comprehensive statistics, the total assets of 140 billion US dollars, minus the debts of the Westeros system of about 20 billion US dollars, Simon Westeros personal net worth reached 120 billion US dollars.

$120 billion, more than double the $50.7 billion for all the other billionaires in the Forbes top 10.

Moreover, in this year's "Forbes" list of America's 400 richest people, the combined wealth of the 400 richest people is only $469.1 billion.

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

In other words, just Simon's $120 billion personal net worth is more than one-third of the $349.1 billion of the other 399 top American billionaires.

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

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