Chapter 977 Shock 400 Billion
Each of the stowaways only had a spoonful of rice and a glass of fresh water, and the distribution was completed quickly. Ulrich Sandmann and his two subordinates skillfully packed up the empty plastic buckets, and the others went down to the bottom bin together. The members of the smuggler organization groped into the crowd, and there was a tug and arguing in the dark, accompanied by begging and sobbing, and soon seven or eight women were driven away from the crowd and walked to the cabin door not far away.
The other stowaways were just silent.
There are very few women involved in smuggling in the bottom warehouse, and Ulrich knows that these are women who have no owners.
Without the protection of men, perhaps, after arriving in France, the end will not be very good.
Ulrich and the three of them left the bottom warehouse with empty buckets. They just came to the deck, and the place was already lively. The members of the snakehead organization on the ship were all involved, wearing masks and naked, like an open air under the stars. carnival.
Rejecting Captain Renault's invitation, the three Ulrich returned the empty barrels to the galley, and then returned to their cabins together.
The two subordinates who have been with Ulrich for a long time may be moved, but they have no intention of participating in it. Their boss is very gentle when he is gentle, and strict enough when he is strict. The two subordinates even Felt that if necessary, Ulrich would kill them decisively.
It's not for moral reasons that you can't partake in the orgies on deck. They were already walking in the dark, let alone morality, the law did not have much binding force on them.
Primarily the tasks that might affect them.
That's all.
Back in their cabin, the three played poker for a while, then rested, and woke up again, the outdoors was still dark.
darkness before dawn.
Freighters have also arrived off the coast of France.
There is no wharf, more than 100 people arrived at the shore by several speedboats that came to pick up, this is near the city of Nice in southern France.
In the three days after landing, there were 129 stowaways in total, but a few went to seek refuge with relatives and friends. Most of them were divided into three waves and rushed to Paris, the capital of France. Ulrich's team Continue to follow up, read the entire smuggling process, and the very perfect illegal immigration resettlement network here.
Led by organized illegal immigrant gangs, stowaways arriving in France are quickly distributed to dark corners of Paris based on factors such as gender, age and skills to start their new lives.
I dutifully followed up the entire placement process, and this time I thought it was finally over.
Ulrich and his two subordinates rushed to one of their strongholds in Geneva, Switzerland, on July 3.
This time, all five teams under Ulrich’s name were dispatched. Latin America, Africa, and Asia logged out to play the French smuggling route. .
The next step is to organize the data.
In a lakeside villa in the northern part of Lake Geneva, which is already somewhat remote from the center of Geneva, Ulrich was carefully drawing with a red pen in front of a huge world map. The door of this large open office was pushed by someone. Kai, a subordinate hurried in from the outside, holding a document in his hand: "Boss, the results of the general election on the Russian side have come out, and Yeltsin won the election."
Ulrich's drawing hand didn't stop at all, obviously not very interested.
Dennis Peck, the second team leader under Ulrich's name, who had just completed a smuggling voyage from Libya to France, saw that his boss was not interested, put down the printout of the online news, and casually pulled over an office chair to sit on. Next, looking at Ulrich's drawing, he thought about it, and said, "Boss, I think, I may have guessed what our big boss wants to do?"
Ulrich still works silently.
Dennis Peck smiled helplessly again, and turned to the other person on the other side who was busy in front of the computer: "Raphael, do you want to know?"
The white man in his early thirties named Rafael Creech shook his head with a smile, and he also looked very disrespectful.
Dennis Peck looked injured and mad, but he couldn't hold it back. No matter whether his companion wanted to hear it or not, he didn't vomit, and said: "I think our big boss wants to do the exact opposite of Hitler back then. thing."
Ulrich frowned slightly when he heard Dennis say this, and finally rebuked: "Danny, I don't want to hear your words like trying to figure out the above intentions, or I will inform you that you are not suitable for this job."
Dennis Peck shrank his neck when he heard the words, knowing that Ulrich was not joking at all, and quickly said: "Boss, I promise, never again."
Moreover, there is no dissatisfaction with his current job in any case. He does not want to be kicked out. In fact, Dennis is definitely not a talkative person. He only talks a little in front of Ulrich, mainly because Dennis It was a subordinate that Ulrich personally brought out when he was in the Stasi. He was not only a teacher but also a friend, and even had a friendship that was close to family.
Ulrich is not interested in the just-released results of the Russian election, however, this day, the global media attention is on it.
Simon also received the news for the first time.
After six months of tough campaigning, Yeltsin finally defeated his biggest rival, Dyuganov, with 53 percent of the vote.
It can be said that this election is also another watershed in Russia since the disintegration of the Soviet Union.
If Russia's economy has collapsed in the past few years, with the results of this election, the major Russian oligarchs who supported Yeltsin's re-election have further controlled the country's economy.
In all respects, the speed of expansion began to increase, thus bringing the Russian economy into a deeper abyss.
The next day, July 4th.
American Independence Day.
Simon and the two Jennys have been busy all day, mainly attending the wedding of Daenerys Entertainment CEO Amy Pascal, a Hollywood executive who has followed Simon all the way and is credited with the development of Daenerys Entertainment Zhiwei, therefore, Simon also gave twelve points of attention to the wedding of this female executive.
But Amy Pascal didn't make any big arrangements. The total number of guests requested by many others was less than 100, but it was lively and lively all day, and she planned to return to work after a short holiday weekend with her husband. Make up after the honeymoon.
On the same day, the North American summer season also started a new week.
Although July 4th is a Thursday, the box-office week was moved one day earlier due to Independence Day. A total of three important new films were released on that day, namely the same-sex comedy "Bird Cage" produced by MGM, and Shaw produced by Disney. The action blockbuster "Brave Island" starring En Connery and the comic book adaptation film "The Phantom" produced by Sony.
After Solitude Day, the next day, the previous full box office week also came to an end.
From June 29th to July 4th, Daenerys Entertainment, which opened last week, is the only blockbuster movie "Sleepy Hollow" that was independently produced in this summer. Party" fell off the horse and successfully climbed to the top.
Although there is no halo of the previous "Batman" series, Tim Burton's "Sleepy Hollow" still received a lot of praise, with a comprehensive media score of 8.8 points, close to the classic level.
Even Simon thinks that maybe it is the absence of the drag from the "Batman" series, which has been getting worse and worse, that makes Tim Burton's new film more concerned. Speaking of which, because of the absence of the previous "Batman" and the lower net worth, the production cost of this "Sleepy Hollow" finally cost only 70 million US dollars, which is far lower than the 100 million US dollars in the original time and space.
In the first seven days of the final opening week, "Sleepy Hollow" earned an average of $51.39 million in the first week with an average of nearly $17,000.
Historically, Sleeping Hollow's domestic box office was only about $100 million. This time, with the support of Daenerys Entertainment's strong distribution offensive, the film was advertised as 'every frame is enough to serve as a film'. A fantasy movie with beautiful posters, with an opening revenue of 51.39 million US dollars, coupled with close to the classic word of mouth, the local box office gain of about 50% is not a big problem.
Considering that the total cost of production and publicity of the film is only 100 million US dollars, and the local 150 million US dollars is enough to recover most of the costs.
It is obvious that most of the blockbusters produced by Daenerys Entertainment are often overseas. Therefore, just the box office is enough for Daenerys Entertainment to recover considerable profits.
With the success of Sleeping Hollow, the film's leading actors, Johnny Depp and Mia Kirschner, have grown in popularity.
Speaking of which, since "Edward Scissorhands", Depp has been involved in various low-cost independent film circles over the years, and there has even been a sign of slipping from second-tier to third-tier coffee. The wonderful performance of "Sleepy Hollow", and then Combined with the commercial success of the film, Depp was put on the Hollywood front in one fell swoop.
Another Mia Kirshner, more typical.
Westeros girl.
Although Hollywood does not have such a name publicly, and because Simon has a lot of stars, it is obvious that Mia Kirschner's popular route is very classic.
Well-informed insiders also know that Simon Westeros gave Tim Burton high authority at the beginning, but he did not compromise on the heroine and insisted on using Mia Kirschner, who was pure in appearance. The actress with a particularly cold atmosphere also interprets the role of the little witch in "Sleepy Hollow" brilliantly.
So, after the tempering of the previous few small films, Mia Kirschner also became famous in one fell swoop.
It's a bonanza for the real absence of moisture.
In the final analysis, if an actor wants to become famous, he still fights for popularity. The more people you can let your name know, the higher your popularity will be. And participating in blockbuster movies destined to be released on a large scale around the world, even if the film Not being successful is enough for the actor to gain considerable popularity and, accordingly, more opportunities. This kind of popularity gain is completely unmatched by low-budget films that only make a few million at the box office, unless you are directly nominated for an Oscar.
With the success of Sleeping Hollow, Daenerys Entertainment also took the opportunity to officially announce that Mia Kirshner will star in James Mangold's new film "The Girl Who Moves Souls", along with Hollywood Oscar winner Joe Walter's daughter, Angelina Jolie.
Due to the holiday of Solitude Day, and the two films did not have much conflict in terms of subject matter, "007: Spectre" was released in the third week, facing the impact of "Sleepy Hollow", the box office drop still remained strong at 31%, and another $38.6 million. In three weeks of release, this 007 series super blockbuster has a cumulative box office of $183.99 million.
Judging from this box office trend, "007 Spectre" has basically locked the box office champion position in the summer of 1996.
As for whether it can be the box office champion of the year, it depends on the box office performance of "Wonder Woman 2", "Charlie's Angels" and other films at the end of the year.
After Solitude Day weekend, on July 8, a new week, the Westeros system officially opened its bond issuance program.
First announced was AOL's $3 billion.
From the first half of the Westeros system
With the continuous reduction of holdings, the financial market has constantly reminded investors of the risk of the new technology bubble bursting. After Simon gave up the long-term reduction plan under the pressure of all parties, he did not expect this to happen again, and many people were caught off guard.
Even though AOL announced that this $3 billion bond will be mainly for overseas investors, on the day the news was announced, the North American stock market still experienced a significant decline. The Nasdaq market, which has been advancing all the way, fell by 1.2% in a single day. %, after all, the market is not stupid.
However, neither stupid nor expensive nor stupid, the capital market has never been truly rational.
After Monday's 1.2% drop, the Nasdaq market rebounded 0.7% on Tuesday, and rebounded 0.8% on Wednesday. Therefore, in three days, the Nasdaq market as a whole not only did not fall, but also rose slightly. .
As of the close of Wednesday afternoon on July 10, the Nasdaq has reached 4215 points.
At the same time, among the leading technology stocks that have attracted the most attention from the capital market, Igret has gradually begun to stand out. On Wednesday, the market value of this emerging Internet company has reached as high as 387.6 billion US dollars, which is on the level of Nasdaq. After the index breaks through 4,000 points, it is also clear that a $400 billion company will soon appear in the North American stock market.
According to industry forecasts, the final market value of Igreat may dominate the entire Nasdaq market by about 10%.
Compared with the former Yahoo, this seems a little incredible, however, the current Igreit is far from being comparable to the former Yahoo portal.
With the quiet and continuous business upgrade, the proportion of portal website business has become smaller and smaller in Igreat now. Moreover, whether it is Igreat's complete monopoly of Internet basic tools and software, or the online advertising business that is advancing by leaps and bounds , and even the cloud computing business of other peers in the world, which has truly provided a large amount of cash for Ygritte, which is also the fact that even if it has reached the peak of the market value of 100 billion, it has not yet formed a complete business model. Yahoo is completely incomparable.
