Jennifer gave Irene a blank look, and she took it for granted, "Kick Jenny away, will you help me take care of the child?"
Erin felt a little confused again, "You... accepted Jennifer just to help you raise the child?"
"Otherwise, I don't have time to deal with five little annoying people."
Ok.
Irene confirmed again that the one in front of her is definitely the same kind of person as a certain guy.
My life is miserable.
My poor little Noah.
Janet seemed to see through Irene's mind, nodded her head and encouraged, "So, the long-term pain is not as good as the short-term pain."
"I won't let you succeed."
Irene subconsciously fought back, grabbed her bag after speaking, felt that there was no need to chat with Janet, and planned to get up and leave.
The result was stopped by Janet again.
The official hostess suddenly changed her style of painting, and the topic also changed directly. She picked up a document that Irene was looking through before she came, and chatted about which sub-fund under the Westeros Family Foundation was planning to fund in the near future. It happens that Irene lives in Manhattan for a stem cell research project in a biological laboratory affiliated to New York University, so why not take charge of the operation of this family sub-fund that will inject 5000 million US dollars in the first batch.
And this project is also closely related to the little guy in Erin's belly.
When a child is born in the future, this laboratory will be responsible for extracting stem cells from the baby's umbilical cord for cryopreservation in order to meet possible future health needs.
Irene was led by Janet, and agreed in a daze along the topic.
Outside the living room, Jennifer, who quietly came over to say hello to Irene, happened to hear a conversation between the two women, and felt helpless.
I am also unkind to others.
Of the two people around me, one has a certain strength in his bones that makes women even have Stockholm syndrome, and the other doesn't like to use his brain very much on weekdays, but he can drag people into the trap he wants without knowing it.
For example, the poor girl in the living room must have felt that Janet was trying to drive her away, so the woman who fell in love with a certain guy, after Janet's words, became more determined and rebellious psychology.
You want me to leave, but I just won't leave.
This hit Janet's arms instead.
Because Jennifer knows very well that Janet really doesn't mind Simon walking through the flowers. It can even be said that on the contrary, Janet still has a strange little pride in her man's ability to attract women, so she just 'helped' a certain The poor girl strengthened her resolve.
The matter of the family fund that was discussed immediately is the main topic of today.
If Eileen was smart and sane, she should have noticed Janet discussing the family fund.After all, if Janet really wanted to drive her away from Simon, why would she want her to be in charge of a Westeros charity fund?
What's more, it is still a very important fund.
You know, in the past two years, Janet has been following up on the research of the Westeros Family Charity Fund in the field of life sciences, and the research in the field of stem cells, which is expected to reverse aging, can be described as a very important direction. The stem cell research team of New York University's biological laboratory, which is planned to be funded, is just one of many top research teams that Janet has already recruited.
poor girl.
Unknowingly, she was once again captured by Janet, who likes the "superior and laborer", and she will probably be happy to integrate into the Westeros family afterwards, so it is inevitable that there will be another layer of potential binding.
On the other side, Simon arrived in Manhattan and saw off little Eve before starting his day's work.
There are many things to focus on today.
The first is the official listing of stagra.
Simon didn't go to the NASDAQ exchange in person to be listed on the photo sharing website, but sent girl A over there. After all, she is also a large number of celebrities on Stagrara.
Even without Simon's support, this listing is absolutely star-studded.
From its launch in July 1994 to its listing in December 7, with a total of 1996 years and 12 months of operation, stagra, the largest photo sharing website on the Internet, has now spread all over the world with the support of the Westeros system. With 2 billion users, it is one of the websites with the largest number of users in a single service on the Internet at this stage.
At the same time, in the third quarter of 1996 before io was launched, Stagra's single-quarter revenue also reached 2700 million U.S. dollars, and it is expected that the annual revenue will exceed 1 million U.S. dollars.Of course, this performance cannot be compared with Eaglet, but when most other Internet projects are still "telling stories", Stagra can do this, which is already quite impressive.
After repeated evaluations and trade-offs, Stagra's final io valuation was determined to be around US$60 billion.
In the most turbulent situation of the current Internet boom, with 16 million huge users, the valuation is only 60 billion U.S. dollars. Even if it is three times higher than the 20 billion U.S. dollars in the latest round of financing last year, in the eyes of many people, it is still very serious. underestimate.
Of course, there are certain considerations in it.
The underestimation of the issue price means that the market reaction on the first day of Stagra's listing will be very hot, even if the stock price in a single day directly doubles compared to the issue price, it is not impossible.In this way, many investors have already begun to shrink the conservative new technology sector, and then poured hot oil into it.
The end result would be a shot of adrenaline, reigniting the Nasdaq up again.
The direct response of this operation is to ensure that other recent financing operations of the Westeros system can proceed smoothly.
Chapter 1075 The most successful little fruit
Nasdaq headquarters in Midtown Manhattan.
Near the opening time of 9:30 a.m., the atmosphere in the exchange hall, which was packed with people like sardine cans, became more and more heated. Paul Einholt, a reporter from China, looked at the chairman and CEO of Instagram who was giving an IPO speech on the stage. Deborah Lipman and the surrounding women A, B, and C who participated in this IPO viewing ceremony, as well as a group of women with waist and legs, have the urge to write an article.
This is probably what many reporters have longed for in recent years, just like how a Los Angeles tabloid listed 164 girlfriends of Howard Hughes, which caused a sensation.
Unfortunately, I can only think about it.
Howard Hughes just sent someone to buy out all the newspapers of the day, but there was no further follow-up, but if it were placed on Simon Westeros, who would dare to expose the lace scandal of the super rich man like this, and he would definitely not be able to afford it walk.
After all, the current influence of the Westeros system has surpassed the level of "when money starts talking, facts will shut up". The American media, which has been 'free' for more than half a century, once again felt the power of money.
Subsequently, the strengthened layout of the Westeros system in various aspects such as politics and the media made public opinion even more powerless in front of the Westeros system.
Let’s talk about Paul Einholt himself. Last week’s article analyzing the structure of Hollywood was written by this reporter. It only vaguely hinted at Daenerys Entertainment’s tendency to monopolize Hollywood. Encountered direct pressure from the parent company Dow Jones Group, implying that similar articles should not be published in the future.
And today, Paul was specially sent to the IPO site of Instagram for an interview. It was an opportunity given to him by the editor-in-chief to 'make up for his mistakes', and he would definitely write an article full of flowers and compliments. Plant good intentions.
As long as the article is published next week, the public relations team of the Westeros system, which is always paying attention to the American media, will realize that his attitude has changed, and he will probably no longer be recorded on some blacklists.
In the final analysis, there is no real freedom in the media.
Even the Watergate incident back then was only the result of the fierce game between the two parties in the United States at that time. Otherwise, how could a newspaper that could only be supported by a widow because of the suicide of its boss dare to provoke the then powerful President Nixon.
Thinking of this, Paul Einholt only felt that the United States is now facing a very serious problem, which is the lack of a force that can fight against the Westeros system, whether it is a capital force or a political force.Without checks and balances, the control of the Westeros system over the country will only grow stronger.
Of course, it's still just thinking about it.
Paul Einholt, a middle-aged man with a wife and son, never thought of being a martyr against capital in the past, otherwise he would not have taken over the job he is today.
In a blink of an eye, girl D on the stage finished her speech, and Paul Einholt hurriedly applauded along with the crowd.
Immediately, several executives of agram, surrounded by all the guests attending the ceremony, pressed the button symbolizing the ringing of the bell, announcing that Instagram stock officially started trading on the Nasdaq market.
First of all, it is still the inquiry stage, which is also a point that many people are very concerned about today.
Because the valuation is really low, the industry had previously estimated that even if the valuation of this photo-sharing website was determined to be more than 100 billion US dollars, it turned out to be only 60 billion US dollars.Although many smart people quickly understood the intention of the Westeros system, they could not stop things from developing in the direction some people expected.
After all, this kind of 'cheapness', how could the capital of all parties not occupy it.
Therefore, more than 20 minutes after the market opened, when the results of the first round of inquiry came out, everyone was amazed both inside and outside the market.
$.00.
Even if the median value is taken, the increase in the first round of inquiries is directly more than half, reaching 52%, which also means that the market value of Instagram has reached about 103 billion US dollars, directly breaking through the 100 billion US dollar mark.
Sure enough, stimulated by the popularity of Instagram after its listing, the Nasdaq new technology sector also directly broke through 1% within half an hour of opening, and the stock trading volume was significantly higher than that of the previous days.
After the first round, and after four subsequent rounds of inquiries, when Instagram’s stock officially started free trading, the stock price has exceeded $23.
After the official start of trading, Paul Einholt managed to barely get a chance to ask questions at another small media meeting held by the management of Instagram, and left an interview hall of the exchange, followed by the photographer Leonard who was beside Paul. Suddenly he couldn't help but said, "I wish I was a woman now."
Paul knew why Leonard was suddenly moved by this, and the two returned to the hall, intending to continue watching the game live until noon, while saying: "It is not difficult to do this now, but Simon Westero probably Don't like transgender people, maybe if you remain a man, you still have a little chance."
"Impossible," said Leonard, who has long hair and looks very attractive to girls. "According to my observations over the years, Simon Westeros is very straight, very straight."
Paul looked up at the stock price monitor in the hall, still smiling: "This is really a pity."
Leonard didn't mean to skip this topic, but said, "Just now, did you notice the little girl next to Miss D?"
"Jennifer Bree?"
"So you know it too."
Paul nodded, feeling both emotional and envious, and said: "The girl who jumped on the stage when Westeros guest starred in Madonna's concert, frankly speaking, this girl should be the most successful 'fruit' in history. My Instagram owns no less than 1000 million shares. Based on the current stock price, my net worth has already exceeded [-] million US dollars. If Instagram continues to rise in the future, it may even be on the list next year. Chasing stars and catching myself on the list, I believe Haven't heard of the second yet."
Leonard was also emotional. He looked at the stock price monitor with Paul and asked, "What do you think the highest market value of Instagram can be?"
"It's hard to say, it depends on the subsequent performance of this website," Paul shook his head, and said, "However, with a huge user base of 1.6 million, a market value of 100 billion US dollars is more than enough, not to mention that this company has The behind-the-scenes support of the Westeros system, I think that Igret may acquire Instagram in its entirety in the future.”
"This is unlikely. Igret's current monopoly trend is so obvious. Even if the Ministry of Justice's investigation is still just the Clinton administration's appearance, Igret will not be allowed to continue to expand, otherwise some other colleagues Genre competing sites are sure to blow up."
"Nothing is impossible, as long as Westeros thinks it is necessary. What's more, Instagram's business is too single. Once it enters the bottleneck, it will either be incorporated or actively expand to other fields. Obviously, the former is easier."
The two were chatting when they suddenly heard a slight commotion around them.
"Billion!"
"Wow, the third one is $5000 billion, how long will it take for the fourth one?"
"Ygret, what about Ygret's stock price?"
"..."
Amidst the clamor, before the two of them could inquire, several groups of stock information appeared on the largest stock price monitor in the exchange hall.
It turns out that after Igret and Daenerys, Cisco officially broke through the $5000 billion mark in the morning's rise, becoming the third super giant in the North American stock market with a market value of $5000 billion. .
Not only that, Eaglet, whose market value has exceeded 6000 billion U.S. dollars in a single week after the general election, now, a month later, its market value has also exceeded 6500 billion U.S. dollars, and it is obviously accelerating towards a more horrifying market value of 7000 billion U.S. dollars. .
Simon didn't hear the news until he arrived at the Instagram celebration reception at a hotel in Midtown at noon.
Really busy morning with lots of other things to focus on.
For example, the box office situation in North America just ended a box office week. There is not much suspense about this point, and it easily won again. Moreover, the weekly box office of the next week still exceeded 1 million US dollars, reaching 122 million US dollars, becoming the second film to achieve two consecutive weeks after that. Billionaire movie.
Within half a month of its release, the cumulative box office of the movie reached 2 million US dollars.It can be said that 5495 million is already a certainty, and only 4 million is still in suspense. It mainly depends on the specific performance of the next Christmas schedule.
This can be said to be quite tangled.
Because the two main Christmas films, and , are also directed by Daenerys Entertainment, if these two projects meet expectations, it may mean that the follow-up box office potential will be suppressed. If the opposite is true, it may break through 5 The box office results of these two opening projects are inevitably not very good.
Except, the other films in the past week, including Disney, which only got $2439 million in its full first week, are not worth mentioning.
What needs to be mentioned is a new film that will be screened today.
As Daenerys Entertainment's main award-winning hit this year, of course, no surprises, it will also be a box office hit. It seems to be a partial literary film for newcomers and new works, but under the packaging of Daenerys Entertainment, it has recently become a hit. claim to fame.
Let’s just talk about the main creators. In addition to the well-known director Gus Van Sant and the well-known Robert De Niro, the other three young actors, as the screenwriter and the first supporting actor, have also relied on It has gained high popularity, and the heroine Kate Beckinsale is one of the heroines that will be highlighted in the year-end schedule.
With the support of these filmmakers, coupled with the $1000 million publicity budget invested by the Gaomen Film Industry team in advance, the recent movie-watching hotspots have been locked in advance.
All that's missing is a word of mouth.
In fact, besides word-of-mouth, another reason for choosing to start screenings on December 12 is that nominations will be announced on the next day for the Golden Globe Awards in January next year. At that time, media and audience reputation will be obtained through screenings. At the same time, it can also be nominated for the Golden Globe Award, and once again get a marketing hotspot.
Therefore, compared to the usual two-week screening cycle for other films, there will only be one week of screenings, and they will be released on a large scale in Japan and together.
As for the prospect of the film, Simon is not worried at all.
You know, the previous one was almost released at the same time as the same period. Under the strong crush of the big boats, it still showed the power of commercial films with the theme of literary films. Not only did it win a series of Oscar nominations, it only won 1.3 in North America. million-dollar box office.
Now, under the quality of the film personally ensured by Simon, both the main creation and the announcement have been significantly upgraded. Even if he has to survive under the attack of the film and television, Simon is not worried at all.After all, no matter how fierce the relationship is, it probably won't be too fierce.
The scene of the Instagram noon celebration reception.
As soon as Simon arrived, he was entangled by the little Jenny who had changed into a white dress, and he didn't care about the eyes of other guests around him.
Just lightly tapped on the forehead of this fake loli, who had nothing to do with loli, but stayed in the 1.5 meter range, and let the girl take his arm. Simon went to Girl D and the others, smiling and congratulating.
Immediately, not only A, B, C, D, waist fine, leg fine, Indian girls and other women listed on Instagram, but also Cindy Crawford, Claudia Xi, who were invited to participate in the Instagram listing ceremony Foo and a large number of supermodel Internet celebrities also gathered around Simon.
Seeing that Simon Westeros was soon surrounded by a group of women, the other guests at the scene inevitably felt the same as a certain photographer in the morning.
Of course, the minds of the female guests at the scene were even more complicated.
Women are better than women, it's really pissing off women.
Not to mention the C-girl Claire Gein, who directly squeezed into the No.295 position of the US 400 richest list with a net worth of US$3 billion this year, but today's Instagram listing once again created several people who are obviously close to Simon Westeros of female billionaires.
Therefore, it is inevitable that the goblins at the scene gathered around Simon.
Everyone has been in the circle for many years and has become a master. Who would think that he is much worse than the founders of Instagram? What everyone lacks is just an opportunity.
A certain man could easily give them such an opportunity.
It's a pity that some people want to go up, and of course there are people who are strictly guarded, but it turns out that it is not easy to say a few words to Simon Westeros.
On Simon's side, after chatting about the trend of Instagram's stock price in the morning, the girl D standing next to Simon didn't show any intention of moving away, and directly turned the topic to a non-work direction: "Boss, we will all listen to the performance at the Metropolitan Opera House tomorrow." I said it, but I forgot to say hello in advance, when I asked today, A said that there are no tickets, but we want to see it tomorrow night, what should we do?"
Girl D's tone was a bit coquettish, and she didn't have the air of the founder of a tens of billions of new technology companies at all.
However, Simon could only shake his head at this: "That means there are really no tickets, or Sunday night..." He looked at Girl A and saw that she was still shaking her head, so he had no choice but to shrug.
