Chapter 731 (1/2)
Manhattan, Lexington Avenue Arsenal.
During the preparation for the rehearsal, many staff members noticed a young man sitting alone in the grandstand of the auditorium. Everyone was busy, only that man was idle, like an unemployed vagrant who sneaked in from the outside to watch beautiful women.
In my mind, no one will despise half a point because of this. On the contrary, they are a little nervous when they think they are in the other side's field of vision.
Because that's Simon westero.
When he came here, Simon just said hello to several persons in charge and sat on the grandstand of the show hall by himself. He seemed to be absent-minded and bored.
Feeling the mood of her boss, Alison asked the two bodyguards to stay nearby, and didn't let the staff coming and going around disturb her. She didn't take the initiative to get there.
Simon, of course, is not really in a daze, but is sorting out the layout of the past.
Although he had done everything he could think of, Simon still didn't feel that he could rest easy.
I know exactly where I am now.
Walking on thin ice.
In recent months, even in the last year, Simon has been far less relaxed than he seems because of his rapidly expanding personal wealth.
At Forbes in 1993, Simon's personal net worth was only 120 billion US dollars, which has made him the first super rich man of 100 billion US dollars in the history of the United States.
In 1994, it directly increased by 2.5 times to 300 billion US dollars.
It's a miracle.
It's also a huge pressure.
Not to mention the history of the United States, even in the whole history of mankind, few people have faced such a situation. 300 billion US dollars, which has exceeded the total wealth of most countries in the world.
In this world, we have always suffered from inequality rather than scarcity.
There is no difference between the East and the West.
So Simon is now a big target.
If you pass by, you almost instinctively want to shoot an arrow. It's not that there's something wrong with the target. It's just that it's too big and obvious. If you want to divert the public's attention, you will be guided: look, there's a target!
After all, it's still a lack of time.
Human beings are habitual creatures. If they are used to something, they often instinctively take it for granted.
It's like many royal families in Europe.
In this era of paying more and more attention to equality, many Westerners still feel that the nobility is superior and the royal family is naturally superior even if they don't look down upon it. Perhaps in private will be all kinds of abdominal Fei, really met, almost instinctively will bend down.
And the big plutocrats in Japan and South Korea.
When the time is long enough, the public in those countries will no longer question whether it is reasonable for the chaebols to control the economy, because they are there.
This is the legitimacy that a long time brings to certain privileges.
However, the fast-growing westero system has no time for people to get used to it.
So there are many people who think it's unreasonable that Simon westero shouldn't have so much money.
No one, why do you have so much!
So, what should we do?
Give the money away?
I'm kidding.
I've seen so many Sheng mien fight against Mi Qiu. If I suddenly send out a granary, those who feel that I haven't got any benefits and ”suffer losses” will only take all the rest of Simon's, and then trample on him, laughing and scolding a few fools.
As a result, Simon became more and more cautious about charity.
Simon even understands why many charitable foundations are big and inappropriate themes such as promoting education and health or promoting world peace.
If the donation target is too clear, the beneficiaries may feel that the money is already their own, one year, two years, three years, and they have taken enough benefits. They take it for granted that if it suddenly disappears one day, then the charity fund operators will have bad luck.
Hey, where's our money?!
After thinking about it, only the integration strategy that has been quietly implemented is the most effective.
If the whole westero system is deeply integrated into the U.S. and even the global economy, any force that wants to hurt the westero system will directly or indirectly hurt itself, so that its business empire can be as stable as a rock.
Of course, if we want to complete this plan, we need the most time.
If it wasn't for the lack of time, Simon wouldn't do many things that ordinary people think are out of line.
Being a man of two generations, unlike the super rich in memory, Simon never lacked awe and wisdom from the beginning.
It's just that some things have to be done.
Simon won't give some people the chance to test their bottom line. If they try too much, it's hard to avoid losing their guns. Therefore, he tells some people directly through some things that Simon westero has no bottom line.Provoke me?
Try it!
Tell the outside world clearly that you are not a child carrying gold through the downtown, so as to gain more time.
And this central election.
Simon's position in politics in recent years has been radical.
Obviously eager for quick success and instant benefit.
However, it is still the same problem. Simon does not have the time to make a slow stew in American politics.
The westero system has been completely out of business. At the present stage, only the state machine can effectively block or even destroy the business empire.
It is true that the United States is a capitalist society. However, if Simon is just a pure businessman, the result will be very miserable.
In my memory, industry and commerce, taxation, health care and fire fighting took turns to kill an enterprise easily. The same is true in the United States. Moreover, with the accumulation of several hundred years of capitalist means, there is no blood to kill.
Therefore, Simon has to build a team of political spokesmen of the westero system in a short time, and it must also be a team of political spokesmen matching the capital volume of the westero system.
If it's just three or two kittens, it doesn't work.
However, it is bound to infringe on the interests of traditional American political forces.
Although Simon has demonstrated the powerful strength of the westero system through the mid-term election, which will make more politicians turn to him, it will also inevitably arouse the dissatisfaction and vigilance of many political forces.
In this world, no one likes to be a puppet.
Alison didn't know when to come to Simon's side. She bowed slightly in the man's ear and reminded him, ”boss, it's time to start.”
Simon nodded, showed his mind and looked to the runway.
The music sounded and the lights began to flash.
I remember the five themes and five background music of the first Weimi show, namely ”angels”, ”paradise”, ”blank space”, ”human” and ”sex back”, were all selected by Simon himself, which accurately fit the atmosphere of each theme. Coupled with the amazing debut of the Weimi legion, the first Weimi show became the most classic one.
Last year's second session, Simon did not interfere too much, but relying on the popularity accumulated in the first session, he was still very successful.
This year is the third.
The popularity of the Vermeer Legion is booming. Learning from the memory that the Vermeer show has become a singer concert, Simon began to focus on the display of the angel Legion itself in order to avoid the show being dominated by the crowd. Therefore, only half of the six themes BGM is music with lyrics, and the other three themes are pure music.
Moreover, singers are still not allowed to go on stage
because Simon's personal attention, the selection of each piece of music is still improving, and there will never be a chaotic scene in which singers sing on stage and models walk around on the T-stage in the decline of the Weimi show. The rhythm of the music and the theme of the show are totally out of tune. This time, two of the three pieces of pure music are invited by the Weimi team to be composed by Hollywood The composer specially wrote it.
