After receiving the conditions offered by Simon, the Hearst family fell silent again.

If before all this turmoil begins, even if it loses the shares of espn and pays a huge compensation of 370 million US dollars, the Hearst family will not be hurt.

It's different now.

The assets of the Hearst Group have recently been completely under the naked eye due to the mass unsubscribing of its newspapers and magazines due to the complete ban of the Westeros system and the bombardment of lawsuits, the continuous abandonment of business partners and the public outrage caused by the exposure of the murder scandal. Rapid depreciation.

Just like Simon's 100% control of Westeros, the Hearst family also firmly controls all the shares of the Hearst Group, the ultimate parent company of the Hearst Media Empire, through personal holdings of family members and family trusts. . Although many of its newspapers, magazines and television assets have joint venture elements, most of the losses in this turmoil still need to be borne by the Hearst family.

With the deteriorating corporate situation causing its own cash flow to dry up and external financing channels such as bank loans and bond issuances cut off, the Hearst Group now wants to raise $370 million in funds only by selling its assets.

Due to the recent sharp depreciation of the company's major newspapers and magazines and other assets, potential buyers will not miss this opportunity to aggressively reduce prices. The assets of the Hearst family can only sell at most half of the price before the storm in a short period of time, that is to say , To raise $370 million, Hearst Group needs to pay double the initial price.

As a stake in espn, if the Hearst family wants to solve the troubles on the Westeros system, it is equivalent to paying a high price of 1 billion US dollars.

Even if some people in the Hearst family understand that cutting their arms to survive is the best strategy, it is difficult to get past this kind of blood loss that cost one billion US dollars at one time, and they would rather bleed to death with a little blood loss.

Of course, Simon will not ignore this matter after making an offer.

Under the operation of the Westeros system, the media has continued to carry out high-intensity attacks on the Hearst Group, and the federal authorities have recently launched some investigations against the Hearst Group under the pressure of public opinion.

Because of William Hearst III's absconding in fear of crime, after Doris Fitch's family also filed a lawsuit for a high price of $600 million, in order to avoid William Hearst III's transfer of assets, the federal authorities also urgently charged William III. Assets such as stocks and real estate under his name were seized.

Not only William III assistant Roger Halls, who has been arrested and failed to pay enough bail and continues to be detained, but other members of the Hearst family and some high-level members of the Hearst Group were also arrested by FBI's Doris Fitch. The murder case team was frequently summoned to cooperate with the investigation.

Simon did not make public the monitoring of Doris Fitch's suicide by swallowing drugs, because it is easy to make the public think of dying. However, this kind of evidence that can make William Hurst III completely lose the room for reversal, of course, he will not ignore it, but let people transfer it to the FBI task force through anonymous channels.

On the other hand, under the instigation of media public opinion, the trend of unsubscribing from newspapers and magazines under Hearst Group continues.

The competitors of many newspapers and magazines under the Hearst Group will naturally not miss this opportunity. They have recently launched various marketing promotions to snatch user resources from the media of the Hearst Group.

The decline of the U.S. print media industry is unstoppable.

If it was a few decades ago, Hearst Group could still stand up to the storm and regain its lost market share through various means. Now, because of the overall shrinking of US print media users, this kind of user loss is basically irreversible.

The Hearst Group was slow to move. Under the influence of the Westeros system and other capital forces, the newspapers and magazines under the Hearst Group were not willing to sit still.

During this period, the joint venture shareholders of seven newspapers under Hearst Group have proposed to buy back the newspaper shares held by Hearst Group, and even claimed that the Hearst Group's deep scandal may affect the newspaper itself and the jobs of its employees. by requiring the authorities to step in and proactively broker the deal.

Of course, these joint venture shareholders are offering very low prices.

It can be said that, under the pressure of the Westeros system, if the Hearst family cannot break the arm as soon as possible, the old media group will fall apart in at most a year due to the deterioration of the overall situation of the group.

In the new week, the Simons headed to the East Coast together on Monday, but Veronica stayed on the East Coast this week, responsible for some audit work before Daenerys Entertainment's public roadshow.

Speaking of which, although the Hearst family was in turmoil, the Westeros system was definitely not easy during this time.

Because of the series of turmoil provoked by the Hearst Group, all circles of political and business circles in the United States, including the general public, are apprehensive about the continued rapid expansion of the Westeros system.

From the massive indictments against the Cisco-AOL-Igret Internet Monopoly Trust that began in March, only three have been settled privately, and most of the others have entered formal judicial proceedings.

Because its power is strong enough, if it is just a simple lawsuit, the Westeros system is easy enough to fight a lawsuit and hit the plaintiff to go bankrupt.

However, things are not so simple.

The crux of the matter is also the risk of potentially larger antitrust investigations arising from a series of lawsuits.

Although the special investigative committee that the Hearst family's royal politicians tried to set up has disappeared due to the recent series of turmoil, this risk has not been eliminated.

Some time ago, the enthusiasm of a large number of congressional candidates to crusade the Westeros system has basically subsided, and the remaining part of the target has not taken any substantive action for the time being. However, it is difficult to say whether some politicians in Washington will suddenly attack for their own support. Such a big move to make a sensation in the whole country.

On the other hand, although it is too sharp and direct to target, some bills that the Westeros system is lobbying for are obviously stranded.

Cersei Capital's recent deal with State Street has also hit a snag.

The House Financial Services Committee asked Cersei Capital to explain how Black Rock Asset Management will keep its users' funds safe by continuing to expand its scale when it already controls more than $200 billion in assets.

Wall Street financial companies try to ensure the safety of user funds as much as possible. This is the most basic principle, and because of the perfect mechanism formed over a long period of time, there has never been a big mistake.

As a low-risk mutual fund, Black Rock Asset Management has a much higher level of fund security than other types of funds, and even many funds are only kept on behalf of customers, and the investment decision-making power is still in the hands of customers.

However, after Cersei Capital responded to the inquiry letter from the House of Representatives, the other party was still dissatisfied and asked Cersei Capital to make detailed explanations and guarantees.

This is already utterly rascal.

Going a step further, Cersei Capital can only guarantee that Black Rock Asset Management will only make money and not lose money. This is probably what the members of the House of Representatives want to see. Is this possible?

There is no such thing as a profitable business, and Wall Street has no such reason.

So Janet arrived on the East Coast with Simon on Monday and flew straight to Washington.

And if it is determined that the mediation fails, Cersei Capital will file a lawsuit to the House of Representatives. Alleging abuse of power.

The United States is a country of separation of powers, and even a Congress with huge powers cannot do whatever it wants.

The estate on the northern outskirts of Greenwich.

The time is already Wednesday, May 25th.

Simon did not go to Manhattan in the morning, but met Paul Spaihts who came from Wisconsin at Greenwich Manor. Paul Spaihts was originally sent by Simon from Verizon's political lobbying department to Wisconsin to be responsible for sniping the local Democratic Party. Re-election political lobbyist for Senate Craig Eames.

Since the sniper plan was launched, Paul Spaihts has rushed to Wisconsin to get in touch with Craig Eames' opponent and become a member of the opponent's campaign team.

During this time, Paul Spaihts, in collaboration with his temporary employer, specified a very detailed campaign outline and even went further in the context of the general lack of a clear political platform in the 1994 midterm elections. , further subdivided the campaign team, very precisely targeting the middle class, veterans, ethnic minorities and other groups, and formulated campaign plans and slogans.

Of course, the premise of all this is actually done with the support of sufficient political donations from the Westeros system, but Simon, who has been keeping an eye on what Paul Spaihts has done, has done the work of the political lobbyist. Very satisfied.

Because of the money, it's the least of the problems for the Westeros system.

What Simon wants to see most is the real work results.

Paul Spaihts' precise designation of specific campaign planning ideas for different groups of voters allowed Simon to see a practical direction that could rapidly expand the political influence of the Westeros system to the entire United States.

After all, the very essence of a political campaign is to get votes, to do whatever it takes to get votes from a diverse group of voters, and then there is the winner.

In some rough elections in the past, politicians often offended low-income popularity while courting the middle class, offended anti-war groups while gaining the favor of veterans, and even offended a lot of women when they won the votes of male voters. .

Of course, there are also many politicians who will carry out targeted canvassing and lobbying, but they are often limited to factors such as resource capacity and team quality, and cannot be precise and systematic.

The Westeros system has enough capital and the ambition to influence political trends across the country, so this plan, which is often too big and inappropriate for other politicians, is almost tailor-made for the Westeros system. . In the villa's study, Paul Spaihts spent two hours explaining his refined operation ideas to Simon, and the topic of the two turned to the current Wisconsin midterm elections.

“In 1993, the average income of middle-class Wisconsin households fell by 2.7% compared to 1992, far exceeding the national average of 1%. The unemployment rate also reached 8.6%, exceeding the national rate of 6.4%, which is our Operational focus."

In the villa's study, Simon listened to Paul Spaihts and asked: "Don't Craig Eames have his own specific measures for these? Moreover, the economic downturn is the result of the nationwide environment. , the economic situation of the entire country has deteriorated, and it is difficult for individuals to escape."

Paul Spaihts said: "Of course there is, but as a left-American politician, Craig Ames has been emphasizing subsidies for low-income families and minorities for the past few years, although there are also efforts to restore employment in Wisconsin. Work hard, but that's not the point. Boss, we just have to make it difficult for Craig Ames to see Craig Eames subsidize the bottom of society at the expense of those middle class whose average income is declining Hit hard. It's also 'the truth', and the truth speaks louder than any eloquence."

Simon looked at his political lobbyist with a righteous expression that even he believed, and nodded with a smile.

Nothing but public opinion control.

Seeing that his boss understood his own thinking, Paul Spaihts continued: "In addition, we have also dug up some black information about Craig Eames during this time, and plan to release it at an appropriate time at the end of the year."

In this year's mid-term elections, because of the lack of a clear political platform, many campaigns have been reduced to a nasty game of comparing each other and exposing scandals.

As he said, he handed a document to Simon, and said, "Craig Eames himself is relatively clean, with no gray income, no secret lover, and a very ordinary background. However, this politician wants to establish his own connections. , has written recommendation letters for many students in Wisconsin in the past few years, boss, you know, Congressman-level recommendation letters can largely ensure a student's admission to an Ivy League-level elite school. Craig Eames Of course, there are many students who are excellent in both character and study in the recommendation letters, but there are also children of the rich, and that's where the problem lies."

Simon opened the folder and saw a copy of a letter of recommendation recommending a student named Paul Skrtel to the University of Wisconsin.

Paul Spaihts waited for Simon to open the document and explained: "This Paul Skrtel is the son of a local food company owner in Wisconsin, because he is a major supporter of Craig Eames. , Craig Eames issued this letter of recommendation for him two years ago. Then, according to our investigation, Skrtel was suspected of assaulting at least six girls at the University of Wisconsin in the last two years, and things were all reported by Scotia. If the Tell family is suppressed, what we need to do is to break through this matter and render it as the rich children supported by Craig Eames wantonly infringing on civilian girls, which will directly hit Craig Eames. Sri Lanka's underlying fundamentals."
