Simon's pessimism about the future of this world has no effect on the expansion of the Westeros system. In the following days, many plans for Southeast Asia, Eastern Europe, Latin America and even Africa are being continuously and closely promoted.

Time soon entered May 2000.

In North America, May is coming, the movie summer is approaching, and the Easter schedule in April has come to an end successfully.

As of May 4, "Blair 2", the main featured in the Easter period of Daenerys Entertainment, was released in the third week, and earned another $18.61 million, pushing the total box office of the film to $96.49 million. The subsequent weekend successfully exceeded 100 million, becoming the third film in Daenerys Entertainment in 2000 to enter the box office club of 100 million yuan in North America.

In addition to "Blair Witch 2", some of the other six films during the Easter period are expected to be more than 80 million locally, second only to "Witch 2", and some have a cost of 30 million locally, with a local box office of less than 10 million locally, which is disappointing.

It is basically in the normal state of a large studio.

Of course, it is the normal state of Daenerys Entertainment, which is far beyond the foundation of other Hollywood studios.

Another thing worth mentioning is "The Falling Martial Arts".

After the box office of the museum exceeded 5.33 million US dollars in the first week, the number of screens increased in the next week. Although the box office of the film did not fall in reverse, it only had a slight decline of 7%, and it closed at another US$4.96 million. The cumulative box office successfully exceeded the 10 million mark, reaching 10.29 million US dollars.

The unexpected breakthrough of tens of millions in two weeks, and the original box office expectation of "The Lost Martial Arts" was also increased again. At present, it is not impossible to hit 20 million.

Although this data is nothing to Daenerys, even if Jinshu can only get 30% of the gross profit share, based on the 20 million theater box office in North America, it can already get a share of 2.4 million US dollars, equivalent to nearly 20 million yuan, which is already a profit level of a blockbuster in China.

What's more, this is just a link between North American theaters.

This documentary can achieve such achievements in North American theaters, and can be expected from subsequent channels and overseas distribution.

Because of the success of the project and after communicating with China, both sides temporarily decided to send the documentary to the upcoming Cannes Film Festival in France. Of course, it is impossible to participate in the competition, and it is just a marketing screening to promote the release of the project in Europe.

In addition to the movie, it is Silicon Valley. The continued popularity of iBox-10 has led to the stocks of related companies such as Tinkobaier and other related companies to rise steadily, and also allowed the Nasdaq index to continue to break through new highs. After the bubble burst in March 1997, the technology stock market rushed to an unknown peak again.

Everyone knows that after the peak, there will be a trough, but countless investors are just looking forward to escaping before the trough.

Simon didn't know how high the Nasdaq could go this time, but there were gradually some expectations for the arrival of the trough. Mainly, Simon had already received news from the Federal Reserve that from the second half of the year, to be precise, it will start another round of US dollar interest rate hikes again in July.

It is true that interest rate hikes will trigger the return of the US dollar, but at the same time, it means that market liquidity tightens, leading to sharp decline in stock market funds.

In the original time and space, the US dollar rate hike around the millennium was between the second half of 1999 and the first half of 2000, and lasted about one year, which eventually led to the breakdown of the Nasdaq index after breaking through 5,000 points. This time, Simon, the big butterfly, had a great impact on the US economy, one of which was the cycle of this round of US dollar rate hike, which was delayed by a full year.

The Westeros system's advance layout of the new technology field has allowed the entire Internet industry to develop three to five years in advance. The current industrial fundamentals are much better than Internet 1.0, which was once only a concept speculation stage.

However, no matter how good the fundamentals are, they still have their limits.

Weijia’s think tank team judges that the current Nasdaq market is about 3,000 points, and it cannot exceed 4,000 points at most. The market value of leading Internet companies such as Igrit, Tinkobaier, and Cisco is also maintained at around 300 billion US dollars, which may be relatively high, but considering growth, it is quite reasonable.

Now, the market index has exceeded twice, and the market value of leading stocks has broken through the sky, and it is still rising. Faced with the upcoming interest rate hike, it is only a matter of time before another collapse will be collapsed.

For Simon, apart from occasionally listening to people around him telling him about his latest net worth, he doesn't pay much attention to anything else.

It's the most important thing in front of you.

In front of you, in May, the first thing that caught Simon's attention was that the new Russian president officially took office on May 7.

Simon has the opportunity to completely change the world's political map to some extent in the next twenty years, and he did not do so in the end. As for the future, right and wrong can only be verified by time.

Another thing happened as planned.

On May 11, when North America's summer vacation began to warm up, the African side, which has rarely been noticed in recent years, was still messy in Africa. A piece of news suddenly logged into many mainstream Western media because it involved Simon Westeros.

A large coffee plantation invested by Westeros in Angola, Africa, was attacked. Large areas of the plantation were burned and killed and injured more than 20 people.

The perpetrators quickly found out that it was a team under the Angolan opposition Savinbi.

No one cared about the dozens of millions of casualties surrounding the Democratic Republic of the Congo civil war, and a plantation attack made headlines, even if it was related to Simon Westeros, keen people still noticed the strangeness.

A Portuguese media even contacted Savenbi, the opposition armed leader who had been close to the United States for a time. The other party's surrender was decisive. In front of reporters, he shot more than a dozen so-called "slayers" at his station, and called Simon to apologize, and expressed his willingness to make compensation.

However, the Westeros family seemed extremely tough this time and also issued a very extensive statement that it entered the mainstream media in the world.

First of all, of course we must strive for moral public opinion and reborn as a result of the Westeros system's support and assistance to Africa in many aspects over the years. Secondly, in terms of law, the Westeros system will not act without authorization this time, but will join forces with the Angolan government.

Finally, it is the disposal plan. The Westeros family did not accept Savenbi's apology and even gave a rude reason. Even if this matter had nothing to do with Savenbi, the attacker was also a subordinate of the other party and was jointly and severally responsible. Therefore, the Westeros family will provide support from various aspects to assist the Angolan government, completely eradicate the Savenbi armed forces entrenched in southeast Angola, and ensure that the safety of the lives and property of the Angolan people will not be threatened again.

In addition to the statement, many people also noticed some of the speeches of several spokespersons from all aspects of the Westeros family that almost agree: Any force that dares to hurt the Westeros family, whether those who stand in front of the stage or those who hide behind the scenes, will firmly pursue the matter to the end, for tooth.

Insiders look at the tricks.
