Chapter 1683

Of course, Kissinger is not the only old-fashioned political elite Simon plans to win over. However, Kissinger is one of the few people he attaches most importance to. The reason is also very simple. For example, Kissinger's balance of power theory is characterized by two words: pragmatism.

For later generations, they subconsciously thought that the cold war between the United States and the Soviet Union had always been the United States leading the west to pursue and attack the Soviet Union until the collapse of the Soviet Union.

Not really.

The cold war was provoked by the West. It began with the iron curtain speech of former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill. In the following years, the western world led by Britain and the United States did maintain its dominant position for a period of time. However, with the continuous failure of the United States in the Korean War and the Vietnam War, the form gradually reversed. The Soviet Union became the strong side and began to expand externally, while the western world turned to the defensive.

In this context, no matter how the western society discredits the Soviet Union in public opinion, the upper class elites, especially those western political elites who have personally experienced some firm beliefs in the Soviet Union's peak period, simply do not expect to destroy the Soviet Union.

Kissinger's "balance of power theory" came into being.

The core of this theory is to try to win over all the forces that can be won over, form an alliance, jointly confront the Soviet Union, and finally achieve a relatively balanced two-level world pattern.

It can be seen from this that the West has made a plan to co-exist with the Soviet Union for a long time.

But times change.

This is the last word.

It is also the theory of balance of power, which is actually a microcosm of the pragmatic diplomacy of the United States during the cold war. We don't talk about right or wrong. As long as you are willing to stand on my side, we are friends.

Everything in the end is for the benefit of the West.

One of the most classic cases was Kissinger's secret visit to China in 1971.

In addition, the most striking contrast is that after a few years in the original time and space, the world pattern changed, and winning over Russia was the most favorable strategy for the United States. As a result, the bald eagle not only did not win over each other, but pushed the hairy bear to the almost irreparable opposite through a series of extreme tricks.

Why?

Because at that time, there were no real politicians who dared to take responsibility in the American political arena, only a group of second rate politicians who either swayed with the wind or clashed with each other.

Now that he has become the most important passenger on this big ship, he has no place to jump if he wants to jump, Simon can't allow this to happen again. One of Simon's important strategies is to cultivate truly outstanding political elites, continuously participate in federal politics in the next few years, and gradually complete replacement and control.

The two had an unconscious chat for a whole morning. The host and the guest had a good time. After lunch together, Simon saw Kissinger off. Then he took a helicopter to Manhattan.

This is September 24.

Sunday.

New York Fashion Week is in full swing, and Manhattan is quite lively.

Yesterday, after a busy day, I still had to restrain myself. In the afternoon, I worked at the east coast headquarters of danilis entertainment in the upper west district. It was not until the evening that I met with grace clapper again to participate in a fashion reception hosted by elite.

In this way, I stayed on the east coast for another night. The next morning, I set off and flew back to the west coast.

Time unknowingly came to the end of September 2000.

First of all, the summer vacation of 2000 ended completely.

Daenerys entertainment, led by Nemo, has recently exceeded US $360million at the North American box office of this 3D animated film, which has fallen to only US $200.3 million in a single week. It is estimated that the total local box office will be about US $365million.

In addition, the overseas box office of the film has exceeded 500million US dollars. Because the release date of many ticket warehouses lags behind, it is expected that there will be about 100million US dollars left at the box office in the future. Therefore, the total global box office of the film will be about 950million US dollars.

Even though it is almost impossible to exceed 1billion yuan, this 3D animated film is still the best-selling film so far in 2000.

Of course, what is regrettable is the surrounding area.

But also can only regret.

You can't sell live fish!

Then there are three blockbusters, thunderbolt doll 2, hangover 2 and Spartacus, which are the second-class blockbusters. Among them, thunderbolt doll 2 is a cooperative project. In short, the local box office volume of these films is about 200million dollars, and they can achieve very rich profits only by relying on the distribution of cinemas.

Then there is the third stage, from the hurricane Rescue 2 at the beginning of the summer season, to the later song and dance youth 2 and Black Dahlia, and then to the end, it unexpectedly became another pure Chinese film with a box office of more than 100 million dollars in North America, all of which belong to films with a box office of about 100 million dollars in North America.

The same box office, but the dark horse is the last effort.

Finally, there are general films that do not deserve too much attention, such as magic Mike 2, or the box office is less than expected, or the body size is too small, or it simply fails.

In any case, in a summer holiday, eight films related to daenerys entertainment reached the level of 100 million yuan, while in other studios, only Warner and Disney each had a film that entered the 100 million yuan club, which is a huge gap.

It can be said that the dominance of daenerys entertainment over Hollywood is obviously still greatly strengthened in this summer.

Because of this dominance, and the extensive layout of danilis entertainment in various businesses full of normal potential, such as games, cable TV and even the Internet, the market value of danilis entertainment once exceeded US $870billion just around the time when igrit became the world's first Super Big Mac with a market value exceeding US $trillion.

The estimated net profit scale of danilis entertainment in fiscal year 2000 is about US $10 billion, which means that the P / E ratio of the company has exceeded 80 times.

For an industry giant that seems to many professionals to have some contact with the ceiling in various business areas, such market performance is a miracle. Countless people are wondering whether daenerys entertainment will become the second big Mac with a trillion market value, just like igrit, which continues to rise after breaking the trillion market value.

Simon personally thought there was little hope.

Because, as many professionals have said, many businesses of danilis entertainment are at the top of the industry, such as film and music. It is impossible to maintain sustained high growth in the future.

The reasons for this are very complicated.

The first is the general environment.

In the century bull market, elephants can fly, not to mention pigs and cows.

Then there is the blessing of Westeros concept stocks.

Even if we clearly see the ceiling of danilis entertainment, over the years, we have watched Simon create a super wealth miracle step by step, and we are almost blindly full of confidence in Westeros related enterprises.

Finally, when it comes to the actual business field, of course, it is not without highlights.

Such as games.

In particular, the rapid rise of online games in recent years, both within enterprises and various media, generally believe that the future will be the world of online games. Moreover, compared with the previous stand-alone games, the market scale of online games should be far beyond.

It's nearly 20 years ahead of schedule to come up with a concept of the meta universe.

Then there is the Internet.

Danilis entertainment has spared no effort in the IT concept in recent years. Whether it is the continuous opening up of the full-service network membership system, or the blockbuster leasing chain that continues to increase online business, or its own game software mall, or even the online ticket sales that its cinemas have begun to try, it has achieved tangible results.

Only this part of the business can bring a market value gain of at least $100 billion to daenerys entertainment.

In short, times make heroes.

Ge, which was supposed to be ahead of the New York Stock Exchange, has actually become stronger than before after annexing Time Warner, but is now firmly suppressed by danilis entertainment, which is also on the New York Stock Exchange. Even if the current market is so fanatical, it is still because of the changes. The market value of General Electric is only over $400billion. Before this bull market turn, there is little chance to reach the peak of $600billion.

Simon returned to Los Angeles. October will soon come in this summer summary.

The first thing is the IPO of CNOOC again.

The time is Friday, October 6.

China and the United States are listed at the same time.

This time, under the big sale and the strong escort of Westeros system, the subscription volume at the roadshow stage reached 4.3 times of the total issuance of new shares.

Finally, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange on the other side of the ocean was first listed. At the opening price of HK $6.15, the increase reached 12%. At the end of the day, the share price fell to a high of HK $7.56, a single day increase of 23%.

Subsequently, the New York Stock Exchange was listed, and the share price rose by 22% on the first day.

everybody ' s happy.

At least, on the surface.

Because there is only one purpose of this IPO, that is, IPO. As long as it can be successfully listed, don't repeat the mistakes, it will be a victory. I can't care so much about others.

On the day of listing, Chen Qing went to New York to help. After that, she flew to Los Angeles.

Simon has been on the West Coast recently.

As September passed, it happened to be the end of a fiscal year of danilis entertainment, and there were many things to deal with.

For example, financial statements.

The annual financial report planned to be released in the middle of this month is also the key to whether danilis entertainment will become the second enterprise with a market value of trillion.

Simon doesn't really care.

Moreover, in Simon's view, before the great turn of the US stock market, it is more hopeful that the second one to break through the trillion yuan should be Tinkerbell. The recent market value of this company has also exceeded the 800billion yuan mark, ranking third in the US stock market after danilis.

But up and down, daenerys was quite enthusiastic.

After all, even if it is only a trillion dollars a day, it is also a super record that can show off for many years. Therefore, Amy Pascal even discussed with Simon whether to make the financial report more beautiful.

Simon doesn't care.

Just explain the specific revenue and profit. Don't deliberately add water. After all, the net profit of about 10 billion yuan has been quite brilliant. The big studios in the lower ranking of Hollywood, let alone the profit, still have a revenue gap of 10 billion yuan. If they deliberately increase it, they can't reach more than 20 billion yuan. It's irrelevant to the overall situation. On the contrary, they will be very embarrassed if they are exposed.

Others, such as the layout in the Internet concept field, are sketched casually.

In any case, compared with many people who are still speculating about the concept, their real performance in all aspects can still stand the description.

As for whether we can finally break through the 1trillion mark, let it be.

Saturday.

There is nothing special at home. Simon still goes to danilis cinema in Malibu to deal with some daily work.

When Chen Qing arrived in Los Angeles, she first paid a visit to dumei point manor.

I brought a lot of gifts, big and small, and even some well-known Uygur waitresses. Therefore, the whole Domaine de pointe had a very good impression of her.

Until noon.

Simon returned from the cinema and had lunch together. Chenqingcai and his boss took a walk on the manor beach and talked about some recent events.

An IPO just now must be the focus.

However, aware that her boss seemed not very interested in this, Chen Qing took the initiative to change the topic: "the Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon, boss, was also released in China last week. Guess how much the box office?"

Simon didn't guess, but said, "should it reach the level of Mount Qomolangma last year?"

"It is expected to be higher," said Chenqing. "The painting was started on the 29th of last month, because it was followed by the National Day holiday, and 67million yuan was collected in the first seven days of the first week. Everyone was shocked. However, after the domestic market was standardized, it was also very normal. After all, there were 1.2 billion people. Last year, the mainland box office of Mount Everest was 114million yuan. From the first week, this one could be at least 150million yuan. Anyway, everyone earned more."

Simon smiled, nodded, thought for a while, and said, "Yu Xiaomin, right? It's very good."

"Yes," Chen Qing said, "it's just a documentary. Now it's a big shot. Even if I want to see it, I have to watch the time."

Simon gave her a look: "how dare that girl do this to you?"

"Ha ha, I dare not. I'll exaggerate," said Chen Qing. She turned around and looked around. Then she came closer, took her boss's arm, and walked on the fine sand beach, One side said: "what's more, because of these films in recent years, the number of overseas tourists in China has been growing at a high speed. A data was released some time ago. In the first six months of this year, the foreign exchange earnings of overseas tourists in mainland China reached US $9.6 billion, which is expected to be about US $20billion for the whole year, with an annual increase of 27%. Tut, it's a pity that we can't get much benefit from such great contributions."

In the whole year, he earned 20billion US dollars in foreign exchange, equivalent to more than 160billion yuan. Simon was somewhat surprised when he heard this figure.

After all, I still pay close attention to the other side of the ocean.

Simon happens to know that China's national fiscal revenue in the first half of 2000 was only 630billion yuan, which is expected to be 1.3 trillion yuan for the whole year, equivalent to about 150billion US dollars.

At present, only one overseas tourist can earn 20billion US dollars in foreign exchange, which is definitely a number that can not be ignored for China, which has been in continuous shortage of foreign exchange in recent years.

Think again about the extensive promotion of our family from movies to online we media in recent years

It doesn't make sense not to offer some benefits

With this in mind, Simon said to the girl nearby, "if you don't give it, you can take the initiative. We've done so much. We'll choose some beautiful places. I'll build a few manors. Isn't it too much?"

Chen Qing was just asking for credit. When her boss said this, he immediately pecked the rice: "right, right, boss, don't worry. I'll do it when I go back."
