Simon's pessimism about the future of the world did not affect the expansion of the Westeros system at all. In the following days, many plans for Southeast Asia, Eastern Europe, Latin America and even Africa were continuously and closely advanced.

Time also quickly entered May 2000.

On the North American side, with the arrival of May, the summer movie season is approaching, and the Easter season in April has come to a successful conclusion.

As of May 4, "Blair Witch 2", the main feature of Daenerys Entertainment's Easter schedule, was released in the third week, with another $18.61 million, pushing the film's total box office to $96.49 million, and the following weekend. It successfully exceeded 100 million yuan and became Daenerys Entertainment's third film in North America to enter the 100 million yuan box office club in 2000.

In addition to "Blair Witch 2", some of the other six films in the Easter schedule are expected to earn more than 80 million domestically, second only to "The Witch 2", and some cost 30 million, but the domestic box office is only less than 10 million, which is disappointing.

Basically it belongs to the normal state of a major studio.

Of course, it's the normal state of Daenerys Entertainment, which far exceeds the heritage of other Hollywood studios.

Also worth mentioning is "Gone Martial Arts".

After the $5.33 million box office average in the first week, the number of screens in the second week increased. Although the box office of the film did not reverse the decline, there was only a slight drop of 7%. It received another $4.96 million, and the cumulative box office successfully exceeded the 10 million mark. reached $10.29 million.

Unexpectedly exceeded 10 million in two weeks, and the original best box office expectation of 15 million US dollars for "Gone Wulin" has been raised again. Looking at it now, it is not impossible to hit 20 million.

Although this data is nothing to Daenerys, even if Jinshu can only get 30% of the gross profit, based on the box office of 20 million theaters in North America, they can already get a share of 2.4 million US dollars. , equivalent to nearly 20 million yuan, which is already a blockbuster revenue level of 100 million yuan in China.

What's more, this is only a part of the North American theater chain.

If this documentary can achieve such success in North American theaters, follow-up channels and overseas distribution can all be expected.

Because of the success of the project, after communicating with the Chinese side, the two sides temporarily decided to send the documentary to the upcoming Cannes Film Festival in France. Of course, it is impossible to participate in the competition. It is just a marketing exhibition to promote the project in Europe. issued.

In addition to the movie, in Silicon Valley, the continued popularity of iBox-10 has driven the stocks of related companies such as Tinkerbell to climb, and also made the Nasdaq index continue to break new highs. After the first burst of the bubble in March 1997, the tech stock market is once again rushing to an unknown peak.

Everyone knows that after the peak comes the trough, but countless investors just hope that they can escape before the trough.

Simon doesn't know how high the Nasdaq can go this time, but he gradually has some expectations for the coming of the trough. Mainly, on the Fed's side, Simon has already received news that starting from the second half of the year, in July to be precise, another round of US dollar interest rate hikes will begin again.

It is true that raising interest rates will trigger the return of the dollar, but at the same time, it means that market liquidity will tighten, resulting in a sharp decline in stock market funds.

In the original time and space, the US dollar's interest rate hike around the millennium was from the second half of 1999 to the first half of 2000, which lasted for about a year, and finally caused the Nasdaq to break in early 2000 after breaking through 5,000 points. This time, Simon, the big butterfly, has had a great impact on the U.S. economy. One of them is this round of the U.S. dollar interest rate hike cycle, which has been delayed by a full year.

The advance layout of the Westeros system in the field of new technology has allowed the entire Internet industry to develop three to five years ahead of schedule. The current industry fundamentals are far better than Internet 1.0, which was only a concept stage.

However, no matter how good the fundamentals are, there are limits.

Weijia's think tank team judges that the current Nasdaq market is in a relatively healthy state at around 3,000 points, and cannot exceed 4,000 points at most. At around $300 billion, it may be high, but considering the growth, it is reasonable.

Now, the market index has more than doubled, and the market value of the leading stocks has broken through the sky, and it is still rising. In the face of the upcoming interest rate hike, it is only a matter of time before another collapse.

For Simon, apart from occasionally listening to people around him talk about his latest net worth, he doesn't pay too much attention to other things.

Still the most important.

In front of him, in May, the first thing that caught Simon's attention was that the new president of Russia was officially inaugurated on May 7.

Simon, who had the chance to in some way completely change the political map of the world for the next two decades, did not do so in the end. As for the future, right and wrong, only time will tell.

Another thing happened as planned.

On May 11th, when the North American summer vacation started to warm up, the African side, which was rarely noticed in recent years, was still in chaos. A piece of news suddenly appeared in many mainstream Western media, because it involved Simon Wei. Strow.

A large coffee plantation invested by Westeros in Angola, Africa, was attacked, the plantation was burned down, and more than 20 people were killed and injured.

The perpetrator was quickly identified as a team under the Angolan opposition Savimbi.

The tens of millions of casualties surrounding the Democratic Republic of Congo’s civil war were ignored, and a plantation attack made headlines. Even if it was related to Simon Westeros, keen people were still aware of the strangeness.

A Portuguese media even contacted Savimbi, the leader of the opposition armed forces who had a good relationship with the United States at one time. The opponent's soft service was almost decisive. In front of reporters, he shot more than a dozen so-called so-called so-called men at his own station. 'The perpetrator', and shouted an apology to Simon, and expressed his willingness to make compensation.

However, the Westeros family was extraordinarily tough this time around, and also issued a very broad statement that made it onto the world's mainstream media.

First of all, of course, it is necessary to win moral public opinion, and the Westeros system has been reborn to support and help Africa in many aspects such as politics, economy and military. will act on its own, but in alliance with the Angolan government.

In the end, it was the disposal plan. The Westeros family did not accept Savimbi's apology, and even gave an arrogant reason. Even if this matter had nothing to do with Savimbi, the attacker was also a subordinate of the other party and was jointly and severally responsible. Therefore, the Westeros family will provide various support to assist the Angolan government to completely eradicate the Savimbi armed forces entrenched in the southeast of Angola, so as to ensure that the safety of life and property of the Angolan people will no longer be threatened.

In addition to the statement, many people also noticed some remarks from several spokespersons from all aspects of the Westeros family: any force that dares to harm the Westeros family, whether it is those standing in front of the stage, or hiding Behind the scenes, the Westeros family will resolutely pursue it to the end, **** for tat.

Insiders look at the doorway.

This sudden and strong argument, inexplicably, reminds some people of the turbulent 1994. Is it possible that something big is going to happen in this world?
