Chapter 569 The latest net worth(1/2)

As the 58list job search fraud case ended in a reversal that embarrasses traditional print media, this incident is basically determined.

Simon handed over the handling of some subsequent incidents to the Egret team himself, and he began to take maternity leave with the two women.

Both Jenny's due dates are in early November, from September to November, about two months. Although it is impossible to completely ignore everything after all, Simon only plans to spend one or two hours at home every day to ask about the company's affairs and no longer go to work every day.

The only small trouble is to fly around between Los Angeles and San Francisco.

Actually, I really want two women to arrange them together, but as I get pregnant, the female assistant becomes more and more disagreeable, and always feels weird and guilty in front of Janet.

After the fraud incident was handled, I spent the weekend with my female assistant in San Francisco and set off early Monday to return to Los Angeles.

"Miami also claimed to have been cheated on job hunting on 58list, and the woman who claimed to be fooled just wanted to blackmail some compensation from the website. The 58list team has begun to file fraud and reputation infringement lawsuits. In Washington, 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 physical classified information advertising industry and achieving monopoly. Mr. Schrapp believes that proactively pushing Congress to hold a hearing on 58list website is the best solution, so that the Department of Justice or Congress can be avoided as much as possible. Oh, and one more thing, Ms. Brill just fired the Weinstein brothers over the weekend."

Return to the Boeing 767 in Los Angeles.

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

When Simon finally looked up and looked at his side: "What's going on?"

Alison sat on the side single sofa, glanced at his boss and said, "Harvey Weinstein tried to assault an actress after auditioning for a movie in New York last Friday. Mr. Friedman, an artist under WMA, had already been suppressed after asking about it. However, Ms. Brill then knew about it and made the decision on Sunday."

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

Originally, I thought that the Weinstein brothers were recruited by Nancy to be under the leadership of Blockbuster Entertainment, and they may compete with Gaomen Pictures in the field of art films. This is actually what Simon is willing to see. Only with competition can the Gaomen Pictures team not slacking off.

But I didn't expect that things would have been like this before they even started.

Harvey Weinstein's mess is nothing in Hollywood.

The Weinstein incident broke out because the Weinstein brothers lost power in Hollywood. They thought they had enough wings to break away from the Disney system. Without a big backer, they became competitors of other major Hollywood studios. Their butts were not clean. Who would be unlucky if you were not unlucky?

But at that time, probably no one in Hollywood would have expected that things would be so big.

This time.

Simon can probably understand what happened without asking too much detail.

Miramax went bankrupt in the first half of the year and suddenly joined Daenerys Entertainment, which was at its peak in Hollywood. Harvey Weinstein couldn't help but resurrect his old ways.

But Harvey probably ignored one thing: his direct boss is a woman, and a woman with a strong and independent personality and obviously feminist tendency. So, he just joined Blockbuster Entertainment and had not achieved any results, so he did such a mess. If you don’t get out of here, who will get out of here?

If you don’t cherish such a good chance to recover, you can only accept your fate.

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

The Weinstein brothers have absolutely no abilities.

Since your own company cannot be used, Simon will not give other film companies the opportunity, and it will be troublesome if he develops himself into a competitor.

Alison agreed, lowering his head to record the matter in the memo.

But I couldn't help but think of Nancy Brill biting his boss's chin in my mind.

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

Alison looked up at Simon and shook his head seriously: "You are the boss."

"Employees can also fire the boss," Simon smiled and said, "Where are you?"

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

"It seems I can do whatever I want."

I really want to look up and take a look at him.

It seemed like I had a secret saying something in my heart.

So he didn't speak.

The pen tip drew a circle on the memo, and another circle in the circle, dotted two points to fill the eyes and add the ears.

After a moment of silence, Alison was the first to react, and quickly continued to report some things. Finally, he found a magazine published just today, and said, "Boss, do you want to take a look?"

Today is Monday, September 6th.

Forbes announced half a month ago that it will announce the latest issue of the 400 Rich American List in today's magazine issue.

Simon actually knew the data of this list in advance.

I saw the magazine handed over by Girl A, but I still took it.

The cover is a dense investment map of Westeros system.

Forbes actually wanted a photo of Simon, but was rejected without surprise.

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 increasingly rare.

When it is time to be proud, it has been proud.

Keeping a low profile now can avoid giving many people a sense of oppression that Westeros is everywhere.

This actually reduces a lot of trouble.

Just above the intensive investment map, there is a very conspicuous black number: $120Billion.

$120 billion!

It almost doubled compared to last year's $65 billion.

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

The top ten accounts for a whole page as usual.

First place: Simon Westeros, $120 billion.

Second place: Bill Gates, $10.5 billion.

Third place: Warren Buffett, $8.3 billion.

Fourth place: John Kruger, $5.9 billion.

No. 5: Helen Walton, $4.5 billion.

Sixth place: Robinson Walton, $4.5 billion.

Seventh place: Jim Walton, $4.5 billion.

No. 8: John Walton, $4.5 billion.

Ninth place: Alice Walton, $4.5 billion.

No. 10: Rupert Murdoch, $3.5 billion.

Simon's Yisheng Chen and the Walton family fives are still the most conspicuous parts in this year's list.

The student from Damen became the second billionaire, which should have been a big deal. Unfortunately, his personal net worth of $10.5 billion is still less than a fraction of Simon's net worth.

Moreover, compared with 1993 in the original time and space, the wealth of Damen classmates increased a lot earlier.

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

In history, due to the economic environment, demand for personal computers positioned in office products has been relatively sluggish in the early 1990s, which also restricted the development of Microsoft, an operating system software provider.

This time, because the wave of new technology emerged early and the popularization of the Internet has enabled personal computers to quickly get rid of pure office uses and begin to enter thousands of households like TVs, video recorders and other products, which has led to a sharp increase in PC sales in recent years.

As one of the alliance partners in the Westeros system to promote the development of the Internet, Microsoft also made profits from this wave, thus promoting Damen to become the second billionaire in federal history.

Of course, this time, it may only be ranked second.

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

Compared with the $2.6 billion last year, the Australian-born media tycoon's personal net worth increased by $900 million this year. Although he only ranked tenth and was not much different from other rich people in the following places, he was considered to have entered the top ten list. Even Sam Redstone, who had been on his head, was dumped this time.

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

Moreover, although he is over 60 years old, Rupert Murdoch does not have the conservative mentality of traditional businessmen at all. News Group has begun to invest in Internet technology companies, and Murdoch has consulted Simon for related questions more than once.

In Simon's opinion, Murdoch's point is much better than Redstone.

Although they are all strong people in the business world, the former Redstone Dong has stagnated after completing Viacom's layout in the traditional media field and has been on a downhill state since the new century.

This time, the acquisition of Paramount cannot be completed as in the original time and space, and Viacom will definitely be unable to annex CBS in the future. Sam Redstone is likely to gradually disappear at the top of the rich list like another media tycoon John Kruger who also cannot keep up with the times.

The list is followed by a special article introducing the details of Simon's personal assets.

In the past year, Simon's personal assets grew the fastest in his name, undoubtedly new technology companies such as American Online, Cisco, Microsoft, and Intel.

Among them, the two companies, AOL and Cisco, have recently market valued at US$35.6 billion and US$38.7 billion respectively.

According to Simon's shareholding ratio in the two companies, the value of his assets is more than US$40 billion.

Westeros has a heavily-owned holding of listed technology companies such as Microsoft, Intel, Oracle, SUN, and Silicon Map. The personal wealth contributed to Simon during the statistics process of Forbes magazine also reached US$13 billion.

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

According to the average stock price numerical statistics of Forbes, the stock value of Simon's stock reached about $60 in the week after its listing on August 20.

But the shares of these listed technology companies have brought Simon nearly $60 billion in wealth.

The assets of the non-listed companies under Simon's name are also huge.

The four very special women in the Westeros system, Daenerys, Melisandra, Egret and Cersei, are all non-listed companies.

Among them, Igrit Company just raised a billion dollars in financing 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 is a full triple compared to US$5 billion last year.
