During Simon's trip to Asia, many other things happened at the same time.
On March 29, Ukraine held its first parliamentary election after the promulgation of the 1996 constitution, with a total of 450 members. All the 20 members elected by the Ukrainian Progressive Alliance Party, which is supported by the vistro system in Ukraine, were easily elected. Even if the number of 20 members is small compared with the total number of 450 members, it is a declaration that the vistro system has begun to directly participate in Ukrainian politics.
This is just the beginning.
Next, the westrow system will gradually take control of the country in a way of boiling frogs in warm water until it is completely controlled.
Another, on April 2, news suddenly came out that the Hurst family was looking for the sale of the San Francisco Chronicle, the heaviest newspaper owned by the Hurst group since it was hit hard in 1994. However, compared with the valuation of US $700 million a few years ago, with the rapid decline of print media and the well-known Westeros system's targeting on the Hurst family, the price Hurst hopes to get is only about US $300 million, less than half of the previous years.
Even so, after the news was released, until Simon returned to Los Angeles, no buyer contacted the Hurst family.
Everyone's watching and inquiring.
In addition to the current investment in the acquisition of print media is very irrational, the key to whether the deal can be reached, but fell on Simon.
Frankly, if Simon doesn't nod, no one will buy it.
In recent years, the westrow system has become more and more powerful. In fact, the Hurst family has been in such an embarrassing situation. All parties cooperated with the Hurst group with a certain degree of caution, for fear of offending a young super tycoon. As for the sale of the old golden mountain chronicle, it was obviously not a fad.
In recent years, the Hurst family has been trying to sell their media assets. In addition to the general environment, they still hold a certain mentality of being safe, so as not to draw water from a basket.
It was only when the hearsay broke that the Hurst family offered a family girl to Simon westrow as a lover as a reconciliation between the two sides that the Hurst family took the opportunity to sell the San Francisco Chronicle. It can even be imagined that if the old golden mountain chronicle can successfully sell this time, the next step is to sell the San Francisco Chronicle, Other small and medium-sized newspapers owned by Hurst group will also be sold one after another to recover the funds and set up a trust, which is enough to ensure the long-term and prosperous life of the whole Hurst family.
When some people are still holding some strange mentality to discuss a piece of gossip, Simon returns to Los Angeles. Obviously, after some kind of communication, news corporation takes the lead and starts to contact with Hurst group.
The potential connection between News Corporation and westero system is not a secret. With Murdoch's move, it has obviously become a clear signal that other interested capitals have made tentative offers one after another. After all, it is the largest newspaper in San Francisco. If it can win the price of 300 million US dollars, it will be very cost-effective.
Even, some weaker media capital realized that they might not be able to grab the San Francisco Chronicle and made a trial to other newspapers of the Hurst family distributed in North America, and also received quite positive feedback.
Simon didn't expect that the Hurst family would do it, and he was a bit crisp.
But there was no objection.
In western society, there is not much difference between mastering a large number of media and mastering an army.
By doing so, the Hurst family is equivalent to taking the initiative to disarm, saying that it will no longer pose a threat to the westrow system. This is also a very smart measure.
Otherwise, Simon will not let go of his vigilance to the Hurst family even if he controls a large number of media, because everyone else knows that. Even if he controls a large number of media and does not dare to make any more drastic actions, the Hurst family will still be more and more difficult.
If all the media assets are exchanged for money, the Hurst family will return to a state of upstarts that was once most despised by their old money. They are very rich, but they lose the potential power equivalent to money, and may even become fat sheep in some people's eyes.
Simon is happy to see this transformation of the Hurst family, and certainly will not stop it.
When the Hurst family began to deal with their own media assets, Simon returned to North America, and Denise entertainment also received good news. With the approval of the two governments, the two sides officially entered the delivery stage for the acquisition of the old record giant Polaroid. After the combination of Denise Entertainment's record assets and polaroid, Denise entertainment will become the world's largest record company, Music copyright reserves alone will exceed 4 million.
At the same time, Denise entertainment has begun to secretly absorb the shares of blockbuster, and will formally and publicly annex blockbuster soon.
Then, on April 10, Easter week in North America, across the ocean, "Titanic" was officially released in Chinese cinemas. Only in the following three days of the weekend, the box office in China reached 63 million, and it is expected that it will break through 100 million in just one week
Not only that, relying on the Oscar aura and the global box office miracle of Titanic, the film has rapidly formed a phenomenal viewing boom in China, which can be said to have reached 360 million box office data, which is easy.
Simon contacted Chen Qing privately and talked about it again.
Release the pirated VCD of Titanic at an appropriate time. At the same time, the film can be released in China for one month, and the total box office should be controlled at about 300 million yuan.
Don't be too conspicuous.
In her reply, Chen Qing didn't question it at all. She also said with great interest that the upsurge of "Titanic" is bound to further stimulate the sales of VCDs. She is absolutely not in a loss.
Simon returned to Los Angeles this time and didn't leave until after Easter on April 12. His first stop was San Francisco.
It's still about an acquisition.
Igrit acquired instagram image sharing website created by D girl and others.
This is a plan that Simon had had very early. It was only after the Internet bubble burst last year that Instagram's share price was too high to rush out. Recently, the Internet industry has begun to recover, which also allows Simon to accelerate the layout of many aspects, one of which is instagram.
Because it's about igrit's next social network layout.
For igritte, Simon has long divided the corresponding sections, such as the software service business with cloud computing as the core, the e-commerce business with Amazon as the core, the online search business with the rapidly growing Google search engine as the core, and the social network business with Facebook as the core.
Others, such as games, can only be regarded as supplements.
Simon is very clear about the scale and volume of the projects he has finalized. In other aspects, he may be able to expand them, but there is still a considerable gap between them.
And social networking, just one Facebook, is certainly not enough.
Up to now, the new Facebook, as it used to be, is a comprehensive social platform, involving some aspects. However, if it is limited to this, the future growth will inevitably reach a bottleneck.
So we need to find another way.
Instagram is one of them.
Facebook used to buy instagram at a cost of US $1 billion. At the beginning, many people thought that the price was very high. They thought that a simple image sharing website would not bring much profit to Facebook, which could only be regarded as icing on the cake. In fact, the later development of instagram made many people suffer greatly. After Facebook won instagram for just seven years, its advertising revenue exceeded US $20 billion.
This time, under the guidance of Simon, the Instagram created by D girls and other girls, even though the mobile Internet era has not yet arrived, has not been a great splendor for the time being. But in the past few years, the development has been very rapid. In the past 1997, even if the Internet bubble burst, the annual revenue of Instagram still grew steadily, reaching 460 million US dollars in the whole year, with a net profit of 130 million.
As for the reason, because the business model is simple enough, and igritte cloud computing service is becoming more and more mature, the operating cost of instagram, which only needs to be hosted, is quite low. Moreover, compared with other Internet companies, the intuitive visual experience of image sharing makes the effect of advertising to this website very considerable. Therefore, the main advertising business is growing rapidly.
The end result is that, like igritte, instagram's share price with the property of westero concept stock is also quite strong. Recently, it has been around us $16 billion again and again, which is equivalent to a price earnings ratio of 120 times.
Simon has not changed the long term layout of igreat, and will definitely split up igreat at the right time. But before that, it is sure to be integrated first. After the breakup of the new technology bubble in March last year, until now, a year ago, I Gerrit has been preoccupied with all kinds of small companies that have been preoccupied by Instagram. It's the biggest move.
But it's quite simple.
Simon arrived in San Francisco and personally participated in a high-level meeting between the two sides. The plan was then finalized.
Igritte will continue to buy instagram in the form of stock plus cash at a price of $20 billion, equivalent to a premium of about 20%, of which 70% will be paid in stock and 30% in cash.
The premium of 20% should not be thought of before the breakup of the new technology bubble last year. Even now, with the announcement of the news, there will inevitably be some small shareholders' criticisms. Fortunately, the absolute control of Instagram is in the hands of the vistle system.
Even if a lawsuit is filed, the front-line institutions, such as Goldman Sachs and Morgan, which have the strength to compete with the westero system, will not be stupid enough to make trouble with the westero system for this matter. Small scale investors will be asking for nothing if they want to fight a lawsuit.
On the western outskirts of San Francisco, in the Woodside hills.
This is April 15, Wednesday.
One busy day, in the evening, Simon once again took a group of yingyingyanyan to stay here. Girl c, girl D, Alice, little Jennie and even the waist essence and leg essence who settled in San Francisco all ran over.
Simon is now happy to see the women around him take the initiative to leave and return to the normal life in the eyes of the secular world.
It's too much. I'm not made of iron.
However, it's also self inflicted, just like the waist essence and leg essence pinched together by him. Women are in pairs. Even if Simon is not there, they unconsciously form their own stable life.
It's still an economic problem.
A group of women in Silicon Valley, whose wealth exceeds 100 million, can only be regarded as the threshold, and one billion is good to greet people.
With money, no matter men or women, they will not like the normal life.
After all, with Simon's help, it's quite good to find two women living together. Once in a while, a man comes over again, which can be regarded as adjustment. Life will be very nourishing. Why do you want to find a man who is not as good as yourself?
A living room in the main villa.
When we returned in the evening, we got together and ran for a hot bath. After a lively dinner, we all gathered here to watch TV.
Little Jeanne, with her advantage of being Petite enough, is in Simon's arms.
On the left and right are waist essence and leg essence.
Next to the single sofa, a left and a right are two girls, C and D, sitting opposite each other. A former housekeeper who is still cold seems to be sitting on a round pier next to D girl.
People don't care what they say on TV.
The topic of discussion is what D girls will do next after instagram is sold.
Simon, holding her flimsy and uneasy little Jane, said to girl D: "in fact, for several years, I have been thinking about this issue intermittently. The development of the westero system has reached an extreme in many people's eyes. What do I have to do next?"
D girl subconsciously asked: "boss, do you have the answer?"
Simon felt the fake Lori's eyes in his arms, and patted her little buttock: "what do you say, Jenny?"
"3G project," Jennifer Bree blurted out, straightened up and put her arms around the man's neck, and then said, "actually, I'm more interested in the research of life sciences, boss. I'm looking forward to your making us live to be hundreds of years old."
"In fact, I think it's boring to live to hundreds of years old, just like a group of vampires. Oh, in all kinds of stories, there are no happy vampires who have lived for a long time. Death is the happiest ending for them in a moment."
C girl said so, and everyone looked at Simon again. Even Alice, who seemed absent-minded, looked at him. She was very curious about Simon's possible answer.
Simon said: "I don't think so. There are really vampires. In my opinion, they just live for the sake of living, but we can make ourselves live better and constantly set various goals for ourselves. Moreover, these goals are definitely not the common worldly ideal of life."
"Boss, for example?"
"Explore the mysteries of the universe and go to the distance of the starry sky."
"It sounds so big," Yasmin Garry said softly
"It's very tiring to listen to," she said
Little Jennie began to laugh with a sort of schadenfreude.
"The goal is big enough to carry unlimited time, and I'm just an example." Simon said, see two goblins around or do not agree with the appearance, also do not mind, said with a smile: "so, you women ah."
"Simon, this is discrimination."
"Sexism."
"Well, I'm guilty."
"I'll do it. I'll punish the boss."
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!

Recently, the Internet industry has begun to recover, which also allows Simon to accelerate the layout of many aspects, one of which is instagram.Because it's about igrit's next social network layout.For igritte, Simon has long divided the corresponding sections, such as the software service business with cloud computing as the core, the e-commerce business with Amazon as the core, the online search business with the rapidly growing Google search engine as the core, and the social network business with Facebook as the core.Others, such as games, can only be regarded as supplements.Simon is very clear about the scale and volume of the projects he has finalized. In other aspects, he may be able to expand them, but there is still a considerable gap between them.And social networking, just one Facebook, is certainly not enough.Up to now, the new Facebook, as it used to be, is a comprehensive social platform, involving some aspects. However, if it is limited to this, the future growth will inevitably reach a bottleneck.So we need to find another way.Instagram is one of them.Facebook used to buy instagram at a cost of US $1 billion. At the beginning, many people thought that the price was very high. They thought that a simple image sharing website would not bring much profit to Facebook, which could only be regarded as icing on the cake. In fact, the later development of instagram made many people suffer greatly. After Facebook won instagram for just seven years, its advertising revenue exceeded US $20 billion.This time, under the guidance of Simon, the Instagram created by D girls and other girls, even though the mobile Internet era has not yet arrived, has not been a great splendor for the time being. But in the past few years, the development has been very rapid. In the past 1997, even if the Internet bubble burst, the annual revenue of Instagram still grew steadily, reaching 460 million US dollars in the whole year, with a net profit of 130 million.As for the reason, because the business model is simple enough, and igritte cloud computing service is becoming more and more mature, the operating cost of instagram, which only needs to be hosted, is quite low. Moreover, compared with other Internet companies, the intuitive visual experience of image sharing makes the effect of advertising to this website very considerable. Therefore, the main advertising business is growing rapidly.The end result is that, like igritte, instagram's share price with the property of westero concept stock is also quite strong. Recently, it has been around us $16 billion again and again, which is equivalent to a price earnings ratio of 120 times.Simon has not changed the long term layout of igreat, and will definitely split up igreat at the right time. But before that, it is sure to be integrated first. After the breakup of the new technology bubble in March last year, until now, a year ago, I Gerrit has been preoccupied with all kinds of small companies that have been preoccupied by Instagram. It's the biggest move.But it's quite simple.Simon arrived in San Francisco and personally participated in a high-level meeting between the two sides. The plan was then finalized.Igritte will continue to buy instagram in the form of stock plus cash at a price of $20 billion, equivalent to a premium of about 20%, of which 70% will be paid in stock and 30% in cash.The premium of 20% should not be thought of before the breakup of the new technology bubble last year. Even now, with the announcement of the news, there will inevitably be some small shareholders' criticisms. Fortunately, the absolute control of Instagram is in the hands of the vistle system.Even if a lawsuit is filed, the front-line institutions, such as Goldman Sachs and Morgan, which have the strength to compete with the westero system, will not be stupid enough to make trouble with the westero system for this matter. Small scale investors will be asking for nothing if they want to fight a lawsuit.On the western outskirts of San Francisco, in the Woodside hills.This is April 15, Wednesday.One busy day, in the evening, Simon once again took a group of yingyingyanyan to stay here. Girl c, girl D, Alice, little Jennie and even the waist essence and leg essence who settled in San Francisco all ran over.Simon is now happy to see the women around him take the initiative to leave and return to the normal life in the eyes of the secular world.It's too much. I'm not made of iron.However, it's also self inflicted, just like the waist essence and leg essence pinched together by him. Women are in pairs. Even if Simon is not there, they unconsciously form their own stable life.It's still an economic problem.A group of women in Silicon Valley, whose wealth exceeds 100 million, can only be regarded as the threshold, and one billion is good to greet people.With money, no matter men or women, they will not like the normal life.After all, with Simon's help, it's quite good to find two women living together. Once in a while, a man comes over again, which can be regarded as adjustment. Life will be very nourishing. Why do you want to find a man who is not as good as yourself?A living room in the main villa.When we returned in the evening, we got together and ran for a hot bath. After a lively dinner, we all gathered here to watch TV.Little Jeanne, with her advantage of being Petite enough, is in Simon's arms.On the left and right are waist essence and leg essence.Next to the single sofa, a left and a right are two girls, C and D, sitting opposite each other. A former housekeeper who is still cold seems to be sitting on a round pier next to D girl.People don't care what they say on TV.The topic of discussion is what D girls will do next after instagram is sold.Simon, holding her flimsy and uneasy little Jane, said to girl D: "in fact, for several years, I have been thinking about this issue intermittently. The development of the westero system has reached an extreme in many people's eyes. What do I have to do next?"D girl subconsciously asked: "boss, do you have the answer?"Simon felt the fake Lori's eyes in his arms, and patted her little buttock: "what do you say, Jenny?""3G project," Jennifer Bree blurted out, straightened up and put her arms around the man's neck, and then said, "actually, I'm more interested in the research of life sciences, boss. I'm looking forward to your making us live to be hundreds of years old.""In fact, I think it's boring to live to hundreds of years old, just like a group of vampires. Oh, in all kinds of stories, there are no happy vampires who have lived for a long time. Death is the happiest ending for them in a moment."C girl said so, and everyone looked at Simon again. Even Alice, who seemed absent-minded, looked at him. She was very curious about Simon's possible answer.Simon said: "I don't think so. There are really vampires. In my opinion, they just live for the sake of living, but we can make ourselves live better and constantly set various goals for ourselves. Moreover, these goals are definitely not the common worldly ideal of life.""Boss, for example?""Explore the mysteries of the universe and go to the distance of the starry sky.""It sounds so big," Yasmin Garry said softly"It's very tiring to listen to," she saidLittle Jennie began to laugh with a sort of schadenfreude."The goal is big enough to carry unlimited time, and I'm just an example." Simon said, see two goblins around or do not agree with the appearance, also do not mind, said with a smile: "so, you women ah.""Simon, this is discrimination.""Sexism.""Well, I'm guilty.""I'll do it. I'll punish the boss."
