When the U.S. stock market closed on the afternoon of August 15, on the first trading day of its official listing, Verizon's stock price soared 71% compared with the issue price of $10.75, and the closing price was US$1.838 billion. Based on the total share capital of 3.973 billion shares after listing, Verizon's market value rose from US$42.7 billion before listing to US$73 billion.

The last trading day of the week.

Not only did Verizon's stock price not fall back, it rose 51% again under the crazy pursuit of the capital market, quickly breaking through the 100 billion US dollar mark, closing market value as high as US$110.9 billion, becoming another giant in the Westeros system with a market value of US$100 billion.

Not only that, Verizon's listing once again strongly drove the entire Nasdaq market to rise.

In just two days, Nasdaq broke through two ‘5000’ initiatives in one fell swoop.

First, the Nasdaq index broke through 5,000 points. At the close of Friday, the Nasdaq finally reached a high of 5,073 points.

At the same time, the first US$500 billion company was born in the US stock market. Igrit's market value was fixed at US$513.6 billion on Friday afternoon. It only took a month before Igrit's market value broke through 400 billion on July 15, and once again showed the crazy state of the technology stock market.

In addition, as the world's largest network equipment supplier, Cisco's market value closed at US$436.5 billion in the afternoon of the same day, becoming another tech giant of US$400 billion.

Cisco is actually the third one.

Daenerys Entertainment, which is listed on the New York Stock Exchange, recently achieved unexpected overtaking Cisco due to factors such as the group's performance. Its market value at the close of the afternoon of the day was as high as US$453.5 billion.

As the Nasdaq sector officially broke through 5,000 points, the total market value of all listed companies in the Nasdaq market reached a new high on that day, reaching US$5.96 trillion.

Among them, only six companies with a market value of over 100 billion US dollars that have completely controlled or have absolute control of the Westeros system, Egrit (US$513.6 billion), Cisco (US$436.5 billion), American Online (US$296.5 billion), Tincobaier (US$263.7 billion), Verizon (US$110.9 billion), and Nokia (US$138.2 billion), which are listed in Europe and the United States at the same time, have a total market value of US$1.76 trillion, accounting for 29.5% of the entire Nasdaq sector.

Nearly 30%!

If we include technology giants like Microsoft (US$267.1 billion), Intel (US$134.1 billion), or relatively small technology companies with market value of only tens of billions or billions of dollars, the Westeros system's share of the entire Nasdaq will increase significantly.

Even though the miraculous rise of the Westeros system has repeatedly washed away the audience's nerves in recent years, too many people have numbed, when relevant statistics are accompanied by Verizon's listing and Nasdaq's breaking through 5,000 points, it has attracted widespread attention worldwide.

Amidst a lot of surprises, there was inevitably controversy.

as well as.

The traditional American power class is becoming increasingly jealous and afraid of the continued expansion of the Westeros system.

Washington.

After a busy week of dinner, Bill Clinton still couldn't rest. Instead, he summoned his White House chief of staff, Leon Panetta and campaign manager Chester Cavill, two close friends, to discuss the potential impact of the hot topics of the Nasdaq topic in the past two days on his upcoming campaign sprint.

Today is August 16, and the Democratic Party will hold a national congress in 10 days to formally determine the party nomination for the 1996 general election.

Clinton has made a foregone conclusion.

After that, all final candidates for both parties were finalized, and the 1996 general election will also enter the final sprint stage.

Although the current public opinion support rate is as high as 60%, Clinton still dares not take it lightly. After all, cases of early support rate leading in the history of the US election often occur.

Looking at the Clintons who were obviously alienated on the couch in front of him, White House Chief of Staff Leon Panetta handed over the two identical documents and said: "Wright just met with Joseph Schrapp in the afternoon. This is a public relations plan that will be launched in the near future. What ordinary people are most worried about is that the rise of the Internet will impact traditional industries and reduce job opportunities. The Westeros system will launch targeted publicity in the next few months, responding to public concerns through a large number of clear examples, and the document also lists detailed data."

The rise of the Internet industry can be said to be the most dazzling political achievement since Clinton took office.

However, this political achievement was cast in shadow because the Westeros system occupied too many interests in the Internet industry. Although this matter had little direct relationship with Clinton, after all, before Clinton was elected in 1992, a series of new technology giants were already in the young man's layout.

However, as the election becomes more intense, the public, whose emotions are easily incited, and his political opponents in the campaign ignore these things.

Simon Westeros became a trillion-dollar super-rich during Clinton's tenure. This serious concentration of wealth and the injustice of social distribution represented by it are obviously the fault of the President.

Looking at the public relations plan that focuses on promoting opportunities for the Internet industry to all walks of life in the federal society, Clinton was about to speak, but Hillary around him was already rushing to say: "This plan looks good and may bring some help to Bill's campaign, but this is obviously not the key to the problem. Doer will definitely only attack us and the Westeros system are too close."

"So that's the case," said Chester Cavill, the campaign manager on the other side: "Perhaps we should respond in advance and change our attitude towards the Westeros system as we did through the Cassebaum Kennedy Act."

In order to build momentum for the upcoming election, Clinton recently signed and passed several latest bills involving welfare reform, health care, environmental protection, etc. The Cassebaum Kennedy Act is an important one to ensure that the federal public can still enjoy medical insurance when changing jobs or temporarily unemployed.

The reason why Chester Cavill specifically mentioned this bill was mainly because it was actually "snatched" by Clinton from the Republican Party. The original bill was proposed by two Republican lawmakers Nancy Cassebaum and Ted Kennedy. Because this bill would significantly increase federal health care spending, Clinton initially disagreed, and Congress was also full of controversy, so it was stranded.

However, when he learned that the Republican Party was recently starting to push the bill again, considering the pros and cons, in order to avoid the Republican Party gaining bargaining chips in the subsequent election process, Clinton took the lead and quickly signed the bill in the form of a presidential executive order, directly breaking the Republican Party's wishful thinking.

Chester Cavill said this, and it was obvious.

In the next election campaign, the Republican Party will definitely make a fuss about the good relationship between the White House and the Westeros system. If you don’t want to fall into a passive position, then the best way is to take the lead in changing your attitude and become tougher against the Westeros system.

After Cavill finished speaking, Clinton was considering it, and only heard Hillary next to him had already said: "This is a good idea, Chester, do you have any specific ideas?"

Clinton frowned slightly, but still looked at the campaign manager opposite him.

Chester Cavill pretended not to notice that the first lady had been snatching her words in a row, looked at the President, and obtained permission from her eyes and said: "Igret's surgery to launch an antitrust investigation. After all, the monopoly tendency of this company is too obvious. Moreover, as the company with the highest market value in the federal government, launching an investigation into Igret can also achieve the greatest impact in the shortest time."

Regarding the monopoly issue of Igret, as the company rose to the top spot in the market value of American companies after its listing, there were countless lawsuits and disputes, but they have been deliberately ignored by Washington before.

Now, if an investigation is to be initiated, all kinds of reasons are ready-made.

This time, the president and his wife have not spoken yet, and Leon Panetta has already said: "Chester, have you considered what impact this may have on the Nasdaq stock market?"

The Nasdaq broke through 5,000 points, and the bubble in the technology stock market became increasingly serious.

This time point, the rash launch of an antitrust investigation into Igret is likely to lead to the collapse of the Nasdaq market.

If this happens, Clinton's most dazzling political achievements in his first term may be wiped out in the next few months. Most importantly, if the collapse of technology stocks, Wall Street, Silicon Valley, and investors around the world, will tilt their anger to the White House.

No one can bear such a result.

The atmosphere in this living room located on the west wing of the White House suddenly became a little silent.

Everyone remembers that Simon Westeros tried to suppress the excessive madness of the Nasdaq index through continuous share reduction and other actions in the first half of the year. However, in the face of strong pressure from all aspects, even this super rich man with a trillion-dollar net worth had to stop.

Now, the White House dares not take this risk easily.

Thinking about the Republican side, this has almost become a dead end.

To gain the initiative, the White House must take the lead. In comparison, the Republican Party, Bob Doll, who has been confirmed to be nominated within the party, only needs to emphasize that after being elected, it will take tough measures against the Westeros system. As for whether this will really be done in the future, who knows?

After a moment of quiet, Hillary spoke first and looked at her husband and said, "Bill, you must make a decision and take action against the Westeros system."

The first lady's attitude was obvious.

Leon Panetta and Chester Cavill looked at each other and remained silent.

Clinton, who had been tapping his knees with his fingers and repeatedly pondered Clinton couldn't help but feel a little angry when he heard his wife's words. He knew that Hillary's thoughts were not so much for his re-election, but rather that Hillary was paving the way for his future political future.

If an antitrust investigation into Igrit, once it is screwed up and the technology stock bubble is burst, both Wall Street and Silicon Valley will only rely on him as the president. Even if it has any impact on the first lady, it will probably be resolved in a few years. As for him, even if he wins his second term, he will definitely not be able to live a good life in the future.

Not to mention after stepping down.

However, the first lady can continue to seize political capital through his second term and accumulate deeper political connections.

Even though he thought so, Clinton was not a person who lacked decision. He made up his mind and looked at his chief of staff: "Leon, what do you think?"

Leon Panetta thought a little, saying, "Even if... the bubble really bursts, I think they should be more happy to see this kind of scene."

yes.

If you offend capital, the impact will not appear immediately. After all, even enough campaign funds have been raised at present.

If the bubble really bursts, the effect will be immediate for voters.

The mentality of ordinary people is easy to understand. It is also a very pleasant thing to see what they cannot get when they see destruction. In addition, if an antitrust investigation into Igret is launched, it will be difficult for Dore to attack himself on this topic in the next few months.

Ultimately, striving for re-election is the first sequence.

Having made the decision, Clinton ordered, "Then, Leon, let Jenny come to see me tomorrow morning."

Clinton is talking about Janet Renault, the current Attorney General.

If you want to get the initiative to the greatest extent, the antitrust investigation into Igret will definitely be initiated by the Ministry of Justice, one of the presidential cabinet.

Leon Panetta agreed, thought for a while and said, "Bill, do you need to discuss this matter with Westeros in advance?"

Clinton thought a little and was about to say something, Hillary Clinton had already said: "No need. If the Republican Party noticed it, this matter would have no meaning, but would become a handle to attack us..."

Seeing that Hillary was about to continue, Clinton finally interrupted and said to Panetta: "I will discuss these details with Jenny tomorrow before making a decision."

"Then, I'll inform Jenny later."

After talking about this, Clinton did not give Hillary a chance to interrupt, but turned to his campaign manager, changed the topic directly, and said, "Chester, let's talk about the situation of several major newspaper unions."

With the rise of the Internet industry, the TV industry can still withstand the impact of print media in recent years has been very serious.

Involving millions of jobs in the paper media industry, trade unions in major newspaper industries in the United States were also quite active in this election.

Although everyone understands that the rapid rise of the Internet and the rapid decline of the paper media industry are almost as irreversible as textile factories that used steam engines to replace handicraft workshops, whether it is drawing big pie or writing short checks, striving for support from the paper media industry, which is still very influential at this stage is also a key point of this election.

Speaking of which, this matter is ultimately closely related to the Westeros system.

Thoughts came here and continued to discuss, Clinton couldn't help but think, not knowing what the young man was doing at this time?

Thinking about the other party is in New York at this time, at least one point, it must be surrounded by all the fragrances.

This is also what Clinton envies someone the most.

The beauty is too deep.

Manhattan.

After attending Verizon's listing ceremony during the day, Simon did not leave immediately and remained here to arrange some follow-ups.

However, in Los Angeles, Janet has flew to Melbourne with two older children, Nick and Seattle, and Jennifer will take two little guys to follow him tomorrow.

Simon set off on Sunday.

In order to avoid certain things to the greatest extent, Simon personally made the decision not to take the same plane as much as possible. Janet was reluctant to do so. He had a desire to die with Simon if he wanted to die, but in most cases he still followed the man's wishes.

Unlike Clinton's guess in the White House, he was also busy all day, Simon was not surrounded by all the lovers at this time, but attended a party in a high-level Westeros system at James Rebel's house.

Because of Jennifer, although I was entangled by Erin Lauder throughout the day, the girl did not insist on joining Simon in the fun.
