As far as the political system of the United States is concerned, most politicians in Washington, when dealing with problems, on the one hand, consider the interests of the plutocrats or the backdoor financiers they represent; on the other hand, consider the impact of a decision on their voter support and other political capital.
If there is a conflict between the two, they tend to prefer the former.
Because the voter support rate can influence or even manipulate, once there is no support from the plutocrats, they will lose their position in front and behind.
The most typical one is undoubtedly the Bush family.
Especially during the Bush administration.
As a well-known spokesman for the interests of American oil groups, it is impossible for the Bush administration not to know that launching a war will lead to a sharp expansion of the U.S. debt deficit, lay the root of crisis for the U.S. economy, allow China on the other side of the ocean to rise, and cause the economic prosperity of Russia and other old enemies of the United States.
However, eight years after George W. Bush came to power, the war basically lasted eight years.
The goal of the westero system is bigger and bigger.
In order not to be frequently used as a target, Simon attaches great importance to overseas expansion, but never relaxes the layout of the local political field in North America, regardless of the cost.
As long as a political group belonging to the westero system can be successfully established in the next few years, Simon will be as secure as the deep-rooted financial plutocrats, oil consortia and military industrial groups in the United States.
It's not easy.
However, in accordance with the rules of the game in Washington, step by step, the goal will be achieved one day.
In the villa study.
It wasn't until Sophia knocked in to remind him that Simon stopped instilling ideas into Daniel that didn't seem appropriate for his age.
Send your son to the restaurant first. Sophia and Simon are a little behind, with a little warning: "Simon, I always think you're teaching Denny bad."
Simon did not show any guilty expression, said: "some things wait until the child is 18 years old to teach later, Daniel's mind enough to accept a lot of things."
Sophia frowned slightly. "But, Denny is only 13 years old."
Simon saw Daniel disappear in the corner of the corridor and put his hand around the woman's waist: "I was completely alone when I was 13 years old."
Sophia pressed Simon's claw on his waist to prevent him from doing anything wrong, but his pace slowed down a little, and said, "in a word, if I teach Denny badly, I'll settle with you."
Simon slightly forced the woman over: "if you teach well, is there a reward?"
Sophia felt Simon's breath after getting close to him and gave him a white look: "everything has been given to you. What reward do you want?"
As they spoke, they crossed the corridor to the restaurant, where the others were seated.
Seeing Simon and Sophia come in and sitting next to Seattle talking to the little girl, Gemma looked up and said excitedly, "Uncle Simon, SIA must be smarter than you. I only taught her the multiplication formula once, and she immediately remembered it."
Simon sat down in aliya's chair and said with a smile, "SYL must be thinking that this sister is so boring that she can recite such a simple thing in her ear. I knew how to recite multiplication formula when I was three months old."
The small Jie ma not full ground stares big Mou son: "is not, moreover, three months, how possible?"
Simon said with a firm face, "of course, I can recite the multiplication formula in three months. SYL is my daughter. You just said she is smarter than me."
Of course, little Gemma didn't believe it: "how do you prove it?"
Simon said, "why don't I recite it for you?"
Little Gemma blinked her eyes and suddenly said cunningly, "good."
Simon was the girl will be an army, he can't have the cheek in front of so many people back what multiplication formula, said: "forget it, or don't hit your self-confidence."
Little Gemma snorted. She didn't chase after her. She turned to Seattle and was interested again: "SIA, how much is seven times seven?"
A little girl with beautiful eyes is sitting in a special raised baby seat, quietly letting Janet beside her help to lay her napkin. Hearing the little sister's question, she slightly tilts her head and whispers: "98."
Little Gemma just showed off in front of Simon, and immediately lost face: "wrong, wrong again."
The little girl seemed to think for a moment and then said, "147."
Little Gemma waved her hand: "how can it be? I'll give you another chance, one last chance."
The little girl didn't want to say, "196."
Little Gemma finally couldn't help it. She gently pinched her hand on Seattle's face: "I'm angry. Come on, 49."
The little girl let little Gemma pinch her face. Her expression was still light, as if her little sister's fingers were not pinched on her face. She said softly, "245."
Little Gemma gave up completely: "little fool, I won't play with you. You are not as smart as your father."
At the table.
Looking at the crazy little Gemma, several adults thought a little and laughed.Janet happily opened little Gemma who was still pinching Seattle's face: "don't bully SYL. You're the only fool here."
Little Gemma saw several adults laughing, even his mother was so dissatisfied: "what's the matter?"
The grown-ups are very unscrupulous. Daniel helps his sister out: "the numbers that Searle just said are twice, triple, quadruple and quintuple of 49. She's teasing you."
Little Gemma suddenly flashed a few eyes, obviously did not mind out, raised a finger in front of the table for a few strokes, it suddenly said: "Wow, really." Then he looked at Seattle next to him. He was not angry because he had just been teased. On the contrary, he was surprised and turned to the opposite Jennifer who was taking care of little Nick: "aunt Jennie, SIA is a genius. How did you come into being?"
There is no taboo in children's words.
The question was a little awkward. Simon coughed and said, "well, it's mainly because of SYL's father."
Little jemaarten threw a really thick skinned look of disdain at someone.
Laughing, the waitresses put the dinner together. When little Gemma saw that everyone was going to pick up the tableware, she couldn't help looking at Simon next to Janet and said, "Uncle Simon, why don't you pray before the westrow dinner?"
Simon said solemnly: "dinner is my hard work to earn money to buy, thank God, I will feel very at a loss."
The reason is a bit overbearing.
Little Gemma Leng Leng, can't help but say: "Uncle Simon, you are blasphemous."
Simon said, "well, I'll confess."
Little Gemma thinks that someone is hopeless. She takes back her eyes and starts to eat with everyone. A moment later, she can't help but open her mouth and look at Sophia on the opposite side: "Mom, can I go to the city to watch the fashion show on the weekend?"
Sophia refused, "no way."
Little Gemma said pitifully, "but many of my classmates can go to the show. If I can't, I will be rejected by them because I have no common topic."
Hearing what her daughter said, Sophia thought about it and said, "Mom will help you after dinner. But you can't go alone, and you can't run around at that time."
Little Gemma immediately lost her just pitiful, excitedly nodded her head: "I can call a few friends together," and then realized that she was a little revealing, and quickly changed the topic: "Mom, can't you accompany me?"
Seeing her daughter's little cunning, Sophia was worried.
However, since promised, of course, will not go back: "mom has something to do, you and your friends together on the line."
Little Gemma agreed, and looked at Simon: "Uncle Simon, will you go to the show at the weekend?"
Simon said, "well, I need to ask aunt Jennie."
Little Gemma looks at Janet suspiciously.
Janet said with a smile, "Uncle Simon is going to stay at home and look after the children at the weekend. He's not going anywhere."
Little Gemma a pair of clear small expression, nodded his head: "mm-hmm, I understand." Then he looked at Simon with glee and said, "good man."
Since finding out that the children are helpful in changing Simon's mentality, the two jennies have begun to increase Simon's time with the three kids.
I stayed in Greenwich for the weekend as a father, but two Jennie went to the city to watch the show shopping together.
On the new Monday, Simon arrived in Manhattan at more than 8 a.m. to attend a regular Monday meeting at Denise Entertainment's east coast headquarters.
Today is September 26.
It's the end of September. At the same time that the summer film season is over, the autumn TV series has already begun. This meeting is mainly about the viewing summary of a series of TV series that have been put on the TV series in autumn.
The core is the two new plays launched last week.
"The story of the emergency room" on September 19 and "friends" on September 22.
According to Simon's original plan, the two new dramas were handed over to CBS and NBC respectively. Relying on the excellent quality of the drama itself and the publicity in the early stage, the two TV dramas have made a good start.
On September 19, the first episode of "the story of the emergency room" was launched. Although Monday is not the most golden time for TV series, the medical drama written by Michael Clayton, the author of the original novel of "Jurassic Park" still created 23.8 million viewers in the first episode, becoming the best new drama in autumn.
On September 22, "friends" was broadcast on NBC television network, and the first episode of golden 8:00 on Thursday also reached 21.5 million.
In 1994, CATV and Internet did not have a significant impact on the traditional public TV network. It was very common to watch more than 20 million dramas.
However, this is only relative.
There are hundreds of new dramas of various types launched in North America every year, which can reach the emergency room story and friends. After all, there are only a few dramas that have just been put on the hit list. Another hit sitcom Song Fei Zheng Zhuan launched by Denise entertainment has accumulated several seasons before it becomes popular.In the past, the public television network in the 1990s was basically the world of friends, the story of the emergency room, the story of Song Fei and other dramas.
Now, daenerys entertainment has not only collected all these popular dramas, but also ushered in the era of reality TV ahead of time. Besides failing to win a public TV station, daenerys entertainment is no less powerful in the TV industry than in the film industry.
Denise entertainment east coast headquarters in Greenwich Village, Manhattan.
The regular meeting ends at half past ten.
Simon stayed in the conference room and continued to discuss some trivial matters with Robert egger. As he was about to return to her office here, girl a knocked on the door, handed a document to Simon and said, "boss, the news just came from the west coast. Vivendi group and Disney Company of France will hold a press conference at 9 a.m. on the west coast to officially announce that the two companies have reached an agreement Purchase agreement. "
Since Michael Eisner had a heart attack and was forced to withdraw from Disney's management, without Eisner, the tough opposition, Vivendi's acquisition negotiations for Disney have officially opened.
After a few months, the negotiations were not smooth, and there were even rumors that the negotiations between the two sides broke down or that Vivendi would turn to other targets.
Simon's attention has been in Europe some time ago. Unexpectedly, the two companies suddenly reached an agreement.
Simon opened the document handed over by girl a and saw that Edgar was curious to see it. He moved the document towards him and then looked at it.
Last Friday, Disney's closing market value was about $8.1 billion.
According to the terms of the acquisition agreement, Vivendi finally offered us $9.7 billion to acquire all the assets of Disney Company, which is equivalent to a 19% premium on the closing market value of last Friday. However, compared with Disney's market value of less than US $7 billion before the acquisition negotiations, the premium has reached as high as 40%.
In addition, Vivendi will assume Disney's total debt of up to US $5.3 billion, with a total transaction value of US $15 billion.
Not only that, according to the documents in hand, it will be an all cash acquisition.
It also means that Vivendi needs to raise a huge sum of $9.7 billion to win Disney, even without considering Disney's huge debt.
In fact, in my memory, Disney's market value in 1994 was close to $20 billion, and it was not worth $9.7 billion at all.
Now it's different.
Because of Simon's big butterfly, Disney has been oppressed by danielis entertainment in recent years, just like other Hollywood families. The failure of Bali Disneyland has made Disney worse. According to Disney's financial reports in recent years, Vivendi has obviously done the same thing as Sony.
Unless Vivendi has the ability to make this big film company recover quickly in the next few years after winning Disney, its own debt will reach as high as US $5.3 billion. Coupled with the huge debt increased by this acquisition, if Vivendi can not turn the situation around as soon as possible, it will definitely fall into crisis because of the huge debt.
In the past history, Vivendi had to spit out again after swallowing globegroup a few years, because the scale of debt was out of control.
This time, Simmons did not intend to give Disney a chance to turn over.
Hollywood seven.
Seven big film companies, after all, there are too many.
After Simon got the inside information more than an hour in advance, at 9 a.m. on the west coast, Vivendi and Disney officially held a press conference at the Disney headquarters in Burbank, Los Angeles, to announce the formal agreement between the two sides.
Next, as long as it passes the federal regulatory review, the deal can be successfully completed.
Although there have been media calls in recent months to limit the excessive involvement of overseas capital in the U.S. cultural industry, legally, the acquisition will not be substantially hindered, not to mention the secret promotion of the westero system.
After the two companies held a press conference in the morning, Simon quietly contacted Joseph schrap and asked him to push the deal through in Washington. At the same time, some arrangements have been made in the media to reduce the attack of public opinion on Vivendi's acquisition of Disney, so as to ensure the smooth passage of the deal.

The little girl let little Gemma pinch her face. Her expression was still light, as if her little sister's fingers were not pinched on her face. She said softly, "245." Little Gemma gave up completely: "little fool, I won't play with you. You are not as smart as your father." At the table. Looking at the crazy little Gemma, several adults thought a little and laughed.Janet happily opened little Gemma who was still pinching Seattle's face: "don't bully SYL. You're the only fool here." Little Gemma saw several adults laughing, even his mother was so dissatisfied: "what's the matter?" The grown-ups are very unscrupulous. Daniel helps his sister out: "the numbers that Searle just said are twice, triple, quadruple and quintuple of 49. She's teasing you." Little Gemma suddenly flashed a few eyes, obviously did not mind out, raised a finger in front of the table for a few strokes, it suddenly said: "Wow, really." Then he looked at Seattle next to him. He was not angry because he had just been teased. On the contrary, he was surprised and turned to the opposite Jennifer who was taking care of little Nick: "aunt Jennie, SIA is a genius. How did you come into being?" There is no taboo in children's words. The question was a little awkward. Simon coughed and said, "well, it's mainly because of SYL's father." Little jemaarten threw a really thick skinned look of disdain at someone. Laughing, the waitresses put the dinner together. When little Gemma saw that everyone was going to pick up the tableware, she couldn't help looking at Simon next to Janet and said, "Uncle Simon, why don't you pray before the westrow dinner?" Simon said solemnly: "dinner is my hard work to earn money to buy, thank God, I will feel very at a loss." The reason is a bit overbearing. Little Gemma Leng Leng, can't help but say: "Uncle Simon, you are blasphemous." Simon said, "well, I'll confess." Little Gemma thinks that someone is hopeless. She takes back her eyes and starts to eat with everyone. A moment later, she can't help but open her mouth and look at Sophia on the opposite side: "Mom, can I go to the city to watch the fashion show on the weekend?" Sophia refused, "no way." Little Gemma said pitifully, "but many of my classmates can go to the show. If I can't, I will be rejected by them because I have no common topic." Hearing what her daughter said, Sophia thought about it and said, "Mom will help you after dinner. But you can't go alone, and you can't run around at that time." Little Gemma immediately lost her just pitiful, excitedly nodded her head: "I can call a few friends together," and then realized that she was a little revealing, and quickly changed the topic: "Mom, can't you accompany me?" Seeing her daughter's little cunning, Sophia was worried. However, since promised, of course, will not go back: "mom has something to do, you and your friends together on the line." Little Gemma agreed, and looked at Simon: "Uncle Simon, will you go to the show at the weekend?" Simon said, "well, I need to ask aunt Jennie." Little Gemma looks at Janet suspiciously. Janet said with a smile, "Uncle Simon is going to stay at home and look after the children at the weekend. He's not going anywhere." Little Gemma a pair of clear small expression, nodded his head: "mm-hmm, I understand." Then he looked at Simon with glee and said, "good man." Since finding out that the children are helpful in changing Simon's mentality, the two jennies have begun to increase Simon's time with the three kids. I stayed in Greenwich for the weekend as a father, but two Jennie went to the city to watch the show shopping together. On the new Monday, Simon arrived in Manhattan at more than 8 a.m. to attend a regular Monday meeting at Denise Entertainment's east coast headquarters. Today is September 26. It's the end of September. At the same time that the summer film season is over, the autumn TV series has already begun. This meeting is mainly about the viewing summary of a series of TV series that have been put on the TV series in autumn. The core is the two new plays launched last week. "The story of the emergency room" on September 19 and "friends" on September 22. According to Simon's original plan, the two new dramas were handed over to CBS and NBC respectively. Relying on the excellent quality of the drama itself and the publicity in the early stage, the two TV dramas have made a good start. On September 19, the first episode of "the story of the emergency room" was launched. Although Monday is not the most golden time for TV series, the medical drama written by Michael Clayton, the author of the original novel of "Jurassic Park" still created 23.8 million viewers in the first episode, becoming the best new drama in autumn. On September 22, "friends" was broadcast on NBC television network, and the first episode of golden 8:00 on Thursday also reached 21.5 million. In 1994, CATV and Internet did not have a significant impact on the traditional public TV network. It was very common to watch more than 20 million dramas. However, this is only relative. There are hundreds of new dramas of various types launched in North America every year, which can reach the emergency room story and friends. After all, there are only a few dramas that have just been put on the hit list. Another hit sitcom Song Fei Zheng Zhuan launched by Denise entertainment has accumulated several seasons before it becomes popular.In the past, the public television network in the 1990s was basically the world of friends, the story of the emergency room, the story of Song Fei and other dramas. Now, daenerys entertainment has not only collected all these popular dramas, but also ushered in the era of reality TV ahead of time. Besides failing to win a public TV station, daenerys entertainment is no less powerful in the TV industry than in the film industry. Denise entertainment east coast headquarters in Greenwich Village, Manhattan. The regular meeting ends at half past ten. Simon stayed in the conference room and continued to discuss some trivial matters with Robert egger. As he was about to return to her office here, girl a knocked on the door, handed a document to Simon and said, "boss, the news just came from the west coast. Vivendi group and Disney Company of France will hold a press conference at 9 a.m. on the west coast to officially announce that the two companies have reached an agreement Purchase agreement. " Since Michael Eisner had a heart attack and was forced to withdraw from Disney's management, without Eisner, the tough opposition, Vivendi's acquisition negotiations for Disney have officially opened. After a few months, the negotiations were not smooth, and there were even rumors that the negotiations between the two sides broke down or that Vivendi would turn to other targets. Simon's attention has been in Europe some time ago. Unexpectedly, the two companies suddenly reached an agreement. Simon opened the document handed over by girl a and saw that Edgar was curious to see it. He moved the document towards him and then looked at it. Last Friday, Disney's closing market value was about $8.1 billion. According to the terms of the acquisition agreement, Vivendi finally offered us $9.7 billion to acquire all the assets of Disney Company, which is equivalent to a 19% premium on the closing market value of last Friday. However, compared with Disney's market value of less than US $7 billion before the acquisition negotiations, the premium has reached as high as 40%. In addition, Vivendi will assume Disney's total debt of up to US $5.3 billion, with a total transaction value of US $15 billion. Not only that, according to the documents in hand, it will be an all cash acquisition. It also means that Vivendi needs to raise a huge sum of $9.7 billion to win Disney, even without considering Disney's huge debt. In fact, in my memory, Disney's market value in 1994 was close to $20 billion, and it was not worth $9.7 billion at all. Now it's different. Because of Simon's big butterfly, Disney has been oppressed by danielis entertainment in recent years, just like other Hollywood families. The failure of Bali Disneyland has made Disney worse. According to Disney's financial reports in recent years, Vivendi has obviously done the same thing as Sony. Unless Vivendi has the ability to make this big film company recover quickly in the next few years after winning Disney, its own debt will reach as high as US $5.3 billion. Coupled with the huge debt increased by this acquisition, if Vivendi can not turn the situation around as soon as possible, it will definitely fall into crisis because of the huge debt. In the past history, Vivendi had to spit out again after swallowing globegroup a few years, because the scale of debt was out of control. This time, Simmons did not intend to give Disney a chance to turn over. Hollywood seven. Seven big film companies, after all, there are too many. After Simon got the inside information more than an hour in advance, at 9 a.m. on the west coast, Vivendi and Disney officially held a press conference at the Disney headquarters in Burbank, Los Angeles, to announce the formal agreement between the two sides. Next, as long as it passes the federal regulatory review, the deal can be successfully completed. Although there have been media calls in recent months to limit the excessive involvement of overseas capital in the U.S. cultural industry, legally, the acquisition will not be substantially hindered, not to mention the secret promotion of the westero system. After the two companies held a press conference in the morning, Simon quietly contacted Joseph schrap and asked him to push the deal through in Washington. At the same time, some arrangements have been made in the media to reduce the attack of public opinion on Vivendi's acquisition of Disney, so as to ensure the smooth passage of the deal.
