When Asian economies are in turmoil, the world is still thriving.
On Sunday, October 19, the day after South Korea's boycott of the IMF broke out, daenerys Entertainment Group officially released its full year financial report for fiscal year 1997.
As of September 30, 1997, in the past four quarters, Denise Entertainment Group's revenue reached a new level, reaching US $41.9 billion, a year-on-year increase of 16.3%. It has become the first and only large industry giant with a revenue of US $40 billion.
On the other hand, it is undeniable that this is also the first time that the annual revenue growth rate of Denise Entertainment Group has been lower than 30% since its establishment. Last year, the related revenue growth also reached 31%. However, this is also expected by the industry.
After breaking through the world's top 10 billion US dollars in revenue, Denise entertainment has been able to grow at a high speed in the past few years, mainly due to the existence of sufficient expansion space in the film and television industry itself and the acquisition and merger of MCA and other companies by Denise entertainment group.
When the expansion of the core film and television business touches the ceiling of the industry, the gains brought by M & A are gradually digested, and the growth slowdown is inevitable.
Even so, the annual growth of 16.3% in 1997 fiscal year of danielis entertainment has generally exceeded the industry's growth expectation of about 15%, not to mention becoming the first industry giant with revenue exceeding 40 billion US dollars.
With another breakthrough in revenue, even if the net profit margin of fy1997 slightly decreased from 14.6% to 14.1% compared with the previous fiscal year, the annual net profit of Denise entertainment still reached $5.73 billion.
The annual net profit of US $5.73 billion has made Denise entertainment rank among the top 10 enterprises in the world. Meanwhile, the revenue of US $41.9 billion has also made Denise entertainment step into the top 15 from last year's top 20.
October 20.
At the beginning of the new week, "Forbes" has also come to join in the fun. The latest weekly officially released the 1997 US 400 rich list.
Frankly speaking, in recent years, the Forbes list, both in the United States and around the world, is more or less boring, because there is only one point left.
Simon westero.
There's no suspense this time.
Forbes group still lists Simon separately and makes a special topic.
compared to Simon's highest figure of $2 trillion and 300 billion before the collapse of the new technology bubble in the beginning of the year, or even 1 trillion and 500 billion dollars in 1996. In the 1997 year, when the Asian financial turmoil raged, and after the NASDAQ crash continued for six months, Simon Weiss's personal identity was finally assessed by Forbes magazine for 1 trillion and 300 billion dollars.
does not consider the 2 trillion and 300 billion of the bubble peak. Even in the context of the new technology stock crash, compared with last year's official list of $1 trillion and 500 billion, Simon's personal wealth has shrunk by only 14%.
The reason for this can only be described in one sentence: a thin camel is bigger than a horse.
What's more, it's far from reaching the level of thin death.
even though the new technology bubble burst has lasted for half a year, in fact, the biggest loss is the small and medium-sized enterprises who are still burning money and do not form their own revenue models.
Just Ingrid.
Even if the collapse of NASDAQ leads to widespread sorrow in the Internet industry, people who are a little calmer can find that the arrival of the information age is an inevitable trend, and igritte, who has almost monopolized the Internet traffic interface, will withdraw a large number of competitors after the stock market crash. The monopoly will only be stronger and the oligopoly advantage of the industry will be more obvious.
It's potential.
In terms of real revenue, even if the temporary recession of the industry led to a substantial reduction in the advertising revenue of igritte in 1997, with the expansion of the Internet industry itself worldwide, the annual revenue of igritte in 1997 will still remain at more than $30 billion. According to the published financial reports of the first three quarters, it is estimated that the annual revenue of igritte will be even more than $33.9 billion compared with that of last year There will be a small increase.
Whether it is the whole industry or specific enterprises, the solid and good fundamentals have made igrit's market value remain more than $400 billion even though it has fallen all the way from the original peak of $923.3 billion.
In the same way, during this period of time, the market value of the whole westrow system, except for igritte, was more than $400 billion, and there were three companies, Denise entertainment, Cisco and Tinkerbell, with a market value of more than $300 billion. In addition, the market value of AOL, Nokia, Verizon and even Microsoft, Intel and other companies with heavy holdings also remained at $200 billion To more than 100 billion.
Together with melisandro, cersei capital, Oracle, instagram and a series of large and small $10 billion level enterprises, Simon's personal wealth remains at a high level of $1.3 trillion.
Moreover, those who know a little about it all know that this number is only a few.You know, just the free cash reserves of the westero system, it is said that the scale is already between 50 billion and 100 billion US dollars. What's more, Simon westero's all kinds of assets hidden under the water and spread all over the world are hard to estimate. It's hard to say that one day there will be a few hundred billion dollar big companies belonging to the westero system.
Stimulated by the "Forbes" list of the 400 richest people in the United States, the 1997 financial report of danielis, and even the "ghost record" which is still hot, the westero concept stocks in the U.S. stock market rose on October 20, driving the Dow Jones index, the S & P 500 index and the NASDAQ index to decline for three consecutive days last week Achieve a rebound of more than 5%.
Among them, igritte's intraday growth was the highest, reaching 11%, and its market value once again surged to the peak of $500 billion. Even if it subsequently fell, its closing market value still climbed to a high of $477.3 billion from $451.5 billion at the opening of the day, with a one-day share price increase of 5.7%.
Danielis entertainment, which dropped to 300 billion from $500 billion at the beginning of the year, also rose 6.2% in one day, and its market value soared to $341.3 billion from $321.4 billion at the opening of the day.
With a high market value, the two companies are still at the top of their respective market.
Washington.
Simon is in the federal capital on a bustling day in the capital market.
Simon came here yesterday afternoon and spent the whole day in various federal departments, participating in various meetings, from Asian economic situation response strategy to ITER Tokamak device site selection to negotiation with NASA to launch new generation space shuttle research and development again.
There's only one core theme, money.
In addition to a small part for the next expansion of the westero system, Simon's three main goals this time are to promote human civilization into the next stage, to break through the limits of life, time and energy.
I had these ideas a few years ago, but I couldn't make a lot of money. In fact, I still have no money.
Now, with the foundation of westrow system further consolidated, a large number of its enterprises are expected to generate huge profits. Simon must find a way out for more and more cash in his hands, otherwise, it will be a trouble to accumulate too much.
How should the money be spent?
Charity, of course.
Simon has been doing it.
However, after years of thinking, Simon also understands that charity can not solve any fundamental problems related to the future of mankind. Even the western charity system has become a means for the rich to inherit their property in disguise.
In that case, do something more interesting.
Moreover, considering that in the next few years, the net profit scale of a series of core enterprises in the Westeros system only contributes to the Westeros family every year may reach 100 billion US dollars, and these serious projects will be large enough. Therefore, only Simon's three goals can absorb these funds, which is still on the premise of spending hard.
Just like the space shuttle, according to NASA's data, a 3 billion dollar aircraft is too expensive for many people, but it is acceptable for Simon to increase the price by another 10 times. After all, the next year's profit of 100 billion dollars is enough to easily build three. Therefore, at today's meeting, Simon's expectation for the design of the next generation of space shuttle is that it can take off directly from land and then go straight to Mars.
This may be only a vision for a long time in the future, but the road is coming out step by step.
Of course, Simon is willing to spend money, but it doesn't mean that the funds of the Westeros are so easy to get. Next, the Westeros' supervision and audit of the relevant funds will only become more and more strict to ensure that the money is spent where it should be, rather than being pocketed.
In the evening, Simon and Janet left NASA headquarters and rushed to the White House together.
In the evening, Clinton and his wife specially arranged a small reception for Simon and his wife. Vice President Gore and his wife and many influential figures in Washington attended the reception.
The Clintons obviously made preparations in advance. The theme of the reception is to discuss the next stage of human civilization.
"Simon, don't you think that if the next stage of human civilization really comes, there will be serious ethical problems?"
In the ballroom of the White House.
The core of the reception gathered around, as Vice President Gore's wife Patty Gore asked.
Simon took Janet's waist around him and said with a smile, "I know what you mean, Patty. In the future, some people may live to 1000 years old, and some people still can't live to 100 years old. Moreover, after a long dormant Star Trek, the young travelers who are still connected with the earth may have the same physiological age as their descendants who have been on the earth for several generations It's a big problem. However, if we push forward a thousand years, people at that time would think it incredible if they knew that the head of state could only serve eight years at most, that there were no slaves in this society, and that all people had the right to vote, wouldn't they? "Patty Gore apparently didn't respond, but the others laughed quickly.
After laughing, Al Gore explained to his wife, "Simon means that human ethics, like social systems, are constantly evolving. Honey, we'd better leave future affairs to future people. We're only responsible for the present."
After talking and laughing, Simon and his wife left to socialize with other guests. Until the end of the reception, a white house staff member came to invite them in a low voice. Simon followed each other to a small reception room in the White House.
Clinton is already waiting here.
"Simon, you did what happened in Korea, didn't you?"
Simon did not deny it. He sat down on the sofa with Clinton, nodded and said, "I said that I would let the Koreans go back on their own."
"But the problem is..." Clinton looked distressed: "today I speak to Kim Yong San again, and Tsing wa Tai is very embarrassed. Now that he has made a promise to the public, Kim Yong San will hardly change his attitude in a short time. Otherwise, he will lose his faith. You know, this year in South Korea happens to be another election year. If he loses his faith, the result will be very serious."

Moreover, after a long dormant Star Trek, the young travelers who are still connected with the earth may have the same physiological age as their descendants who have been on the earth for several generations It's a big problem. However, if we push forward a thousand years, people at that time would think it incredible if they knew that the head of state could only serve eight years at most, that there were no slaves in this society, and that all people had the right to vote, wouldn't they? "Patty Gore apparently didn't respond, but the others laughed quickly. After laughing, Al Gore explained to his wife, "Simon means that human ethics, like social systems, are constantly evolving. Honey, we'd better leave future affairs to future people. We're only responsible for the present." After talking and laughing, Simon and his wife left to socialize with other guests. Until the end of the reception, a white house staff member came to invite them in a low voice. Simon followed each other to a small reception room in the White House. Clinton is already waiting here. "Simon, you did what happened in Korea, didn't you?" Simon did not deny it. He sat down on the sofa with Clinton, nodded and said, "I said that I would let the Koreans go back on their own." "But the problem is..." Clinton looked distressed: "today I speak to Kim Yong San again, and Tsing wa Tai is very embarrassed. Now that he has made a promise to the public, Kim Yong San will hardly change his attitude in a short time. Otherwise, he will lose his faith. You know, this year in South Korea happens to be another election year. If he loses his faith, the result will be very serious."
