Chapter 665 (1/2)

In the world, not to mention the large-scale plutocrats controlled or monopolized by the government, only for the listed companies, before the IPO of danilisi entertainment group, the highest market value of listed companies appeared in Japan five years ago. At the peak of the

economic bubble, the market value of Japanese Att Inc (NTT) once reached 21 trillion and 500 billion yen, according to the exchange rate of 1 to 130 of the US dollar against Japanese yen, roughly equivalent to 160 billion US dollars.

At that time, the Japanese corporate giants that followed NTT were all banks.

At its peak, the market value of Industrial Bank of Japan also exceeded 100 billion US dollars. Other banks such as Sumitomo Bank, Fuji Bank and large mainstream media showed indifference. Even if Simon's personal wealth of more than 300 billion US dollars caused many people's subconscious hatred of the rich and failed to get the convergence and guidance of public opinion, it would not cause too many negative consequences.

However, although the influential mainstream media did not stir up the event because they had an interest relationship with the westero system or just for fear, the uproar caused by the birth of the first US $300 billion super rich in the history of the United States and even the world is still beyond ordinary social events.

After all, newspapers and TV, which have a little influence, can't say nothing about the listing of danielis entertainment and Simon's personal wealth.

Simon just tries to control the media, not to lead the public sentiment to the opposite of westero system. For the major newspapers that can influence the direction of federal policy, he only asks to minimize the exposure, but it is impossible to shut up countless media platforms in the United States, such as newspapers, television, radio and so on.

Of course, with Hurst group's example, most of the media dare not rashly attack Simon's growing personal wealth accumulation, but they spare no effort to make use of this topic to brush a wave of sales or ratings.

Mainstream media are conservative, but many politicians in the U.S. government are not, especially those congressional candidates who are aware that they have been included in this year's mid-term election sniper list.

A group of politicians headed by Senator Craig Ames of Wisconsin once again jumped out, spared no effort to exaggerate the threat of the increasingly huge westero system to the American economy, and asked the federal government to take immediate measures to limit Simon's personal wealth to continue to grow uncontrollably.

David merroth, a congressman supported by the Hurst family, has stopped trying to set up a house special investigation committee against the westrow system.

However, Craig Ames followed David Merlot's ideas and once again publicized the original ”asset tax” bill. At the same time, the politician also contacted a group of members to ask for the establishment of a special investigation committee in the Senate. This time, the goal is still to investigate the influence of Cisco AOL igritte on the emerging Internet industry MONOPOLY.

As for daenerys entertainment group, although the company is already very large, there is not much to criticize in the federal laws.

In this world, unless a person is so mediocre that he has no sense of existence, he will have friends and enemies.

Simon knows that even the federal media is not as peaceful about the system as it seems at this time. The reason for this is that it is difficult to cause any damage to the westero system by hyping the current news hot spots. On the contrary, some plants may be trampled to death by the huge westero system once they are strong.

If there is an appropriate opportunity, Simon can be sure that a lot of multimedia will jump out in a rush, and people will push the wall down.

As for politics.

In such a capital society as the United States, politicians are usually not willing to provoke the super rich, but they are never absolute. When the rich show their own flaws or get in the way of their political career, they are more aggressive than ordinary people in nature. Politicians who are too aggressive will absolutely do everything they can.

Moreover, the rapid rise and shallow foundation of the westero system also give many politicians opportunities.

The following weekend, news came from Washington.
