Fortune magazine is a biweekly of time company. On the day of the new issue, Steve Roth called Simon to say that he didn't know about it in advance. He congratulated Simon and said that he would attend his wedding on March 3 on time.

With $4.5 billion in cash and other assets, Simon has become the first super rich man in federal history with assets exceeding $10 billion.

It really seems to be something to celebrate.

During the release period, Time magazine, which is also owned by Time Warner, gave a bad comment on "pretty girl" because it competed with "storm of seven years" starring Steven Sieger of Warner Brothers.

Time Warner is not a monolithic company, but if Steve Ross doesn't know about it, Simon doesn't believe it.

Simon, however, was not in the mood for these things.

With fortune magazine's exposure of Simon's overseas assets registered with the IRS, he received more questions than congratulations.

The figure of $4.5 billion, which has been exposed by fortune and aroused heated media discussion, is certainly not Simon's exact overseas asset size, but a registered amount of tax.

Moreover, not all of the money is in cash, but also includes a large part of short-term convertible financial products, so as to obtain a slightly higher and very safe return on capital than bank interest.

If the assets of Nokia, Gucci and Simon's overseas properties are included, Simon's assets outside the United States can easily exceed $5 billion.

Of course, most of the media and the public don't pay attention to this.

The focus of public opinion's query is, how did the huge amount of cash of 4.5 billion US dollars come from?

The development of danilisi entertainment has a very clear context to be found. However, the operation of cersei capital is opaque to most people.

As a result, too many people can hardly believe that a hedge fund can bring Simon a huge fortune of $4.5 billion in just one year.

You know, such a profit scale has been comparable to IBM, Ford, general electric, the most profitable business giants in North America.

Similar business giants, revenue volume has reached 100 billion dollars level.

Therefore, the media and the public can not help but question whether there are some hidden secrets behind the huge fund of 4.5 billion US dollars.

Facing more and more questions, Simon had to respond.

Pat Kingsley, who is still his public relations manager, pointed out at a press conference on February 28 that Simon had proved his talent in finance in the operation of the S & P 500 index in 1987. In the past year, his income of 4.5 billion US dollars was totally dependent on cersei's legal operation and related Commission income, and there was no inside story.

That's what people remember.

Simon became the youngest one billion dollar rich in North America through the operation of stock index futures in the process of the 1987 stock market crash.

Now, through another operation, Simon westero has completed the upgrading from a billion to ten billion, which seems reasonable.

However, 4.5 billion dollars.

It's too much money for a single individual.

You know, in last year's "Forbes" North America 400 rich list, besides Simon westero, only John Kruger's wealth exceeded this number.

Even in the global rich list, there are less than 20 people with assets of more than 4.5 billion US dollars.

What's more, the assets are all cash, not hard to cash out of real estate or stock assets.

So Simon westero may be the richest person in the world with the most cash.

Simon's operation method in the process of 1987 stock market crash was fully exposed in the media, and there was no possibility of copying the divine operation following the market curve.

This time, what's the inside story?

With this kind of thought, many media began to blow to the federal regulatory agencies, asking these departments to step in and investigate more details of cersei capital's operation.

However, these agitations are doomed to fail.

Cersei capital has just confirmed that it will set up its headquarters in Manhattan. Before that, the hedge fund registered in the Caymans was not under federal jurisdiction at all.

As for proponents, using cersei capital's operation in the US stock and bond market last year as an excuse, it is still difficult to work.

Unless it is suspected that cersei capital has illegal operation, any regulatory agency can not rashly launch an investigation, let alone require an enterprise to disclose its business information without any reason.

Is cersei capital operating in violation of regulations?

Last year, more financial institutions in North America secretly focused on cersei capital. If there were any violations, they would have been exposed. Even if it's not good for itself, it's just out of envy. There are too many people who want to see cersei capital's bad luck.

As a result, nothing happened.If we can grasp the handle and stab cersei capital, it will be no problem.

If there is no substantive evidence, it is just because cersei's profits are too rich that it forcibly launches an investigation, and the result will only be disheartened.

Simon westero can't be without a fight.

Since we can't find Simon westrow's trouble through cersei capital, some people turn their attention to taxation.

$4.5 billion in cash, at a 28% capital gains tax rate on Simon westero's declared additional equity income, which means more than $1.2 billion in taxes.

More than a billion dollars in taxes. No individual in federal history has ever owed such a large amount of taxes while alive.

What's more, westero obviously didn't mean to transfer the money back home immediately.

How can this work!

A few days after Fortune magazine's exposure, a senator from Tennessee publicly said that cersei capital should be banned from doing business in the United States unless Simon paid the tax immediately.

In order to promote this matter, the congressman also solemnly submitted a proposal to Congress.

You know, there are more than one company and individual like Simon westero who keep their capital overseas to avoid tax, but continue to do business in the United States through various means. If the relevant legislation can be introduced, it will bring a lot of extra money to the federal finance immediately.

However, the global Taxation Strategy of the United States has always been controversial.

In order to promote the return of overseas capital to the United States, every few years, the federal government will guide the capital to return to the country in the form of tax exemption.

Now, it's absolutely not just Simon's interests that he wants to impose a stricter tax on the overseas assets of enterprises and individuals.

Once we are in a hurry, we are not without counter measures.

The general idea of overseas taxation in the United States is to collect the part of tax which is higher than the proportion of the tax paid by the taxpayer and lower than the share of the local tax.

If the federal government goes too far, taxpayers can directly hand over the full amount of tax to overseas countries without using tax avoidance means, which may also win the favor of the corresponding countries and more policy support.

In comparison, if you give it to China, you can't even get a little red flower.

Such a simple truth can be easily understood by people with clear eyes.

As a result, the Tennessee congressman's proposal is unlikely to pass as long as the top federal officials are not all poor and crazy.

Although we know that this public opinion storm will not bring us too much crisis, Simon's pressure has not decreased at all.

In addition to digging out cersei's inside information and collecting huge taxes, the media also pointed the finger at Wall Street, believing that financial speculation should be restricted.

The federal junk bond market, which broke out at the end of last year, is still going on. Once again, some people try to blame Simon for the crisis, trying to lead others to believe that the short selling of cersei capital and other hedging forces led to the unsustainable junk bond market, and countless investors suffered heavy losses.

All in all, it is an unforgivable sin for a 22-year-old to amass more than $10 billion in assets in just a few years.

Once it's not handled properly, the general public, who is often easily aroused by the media, is likely to resist all the companies in the westero system, especially Denise entertainment.

Even if Simon wants to expand further in the next few years, he will encounter many obstacles.

As a result, the public relations team of the whole westero system has been operating wildly during this period, and James Leibold specially hired a professional media public relations company to guide public opinion.

Melbourne.

The situation in North America is fierce. Simon came here a week before the wedding.

Considering the recent trend of public opinion, the upcoming wedding will completely cut off the attention of the media. In order to ensure that the huge paparazzi crowd from all over the world can not penetrate into the wedding venues, the johnstons employ a huge security team of more than 300 people this time.

The wedding scene in Yarra Valley Park was completely closed half a month in advance. All the teams and individuals involved in the wedding preparation signed strict confidentiality agreements. No matter before or after the wedding, they can not disclose any details of the wedding to the outside world.

Johnston's mansion.

It's already March 1, Thursday.

Simon's daily rest time these days is no more than five hours. Last night, in order to check the wedding preparation details, he didn't rest until more than one o'clock in the morning. He woke up again before six o'clock in the morning.

Janet was also quite excited during this period, and got up early as well.

For the sake of convenience, they have been living in the mansion in recent days.

It's six o'clock in the morning in Melbourne and one o'clock in the afternoon in Los Angeles the day before.

I spent more than an hour discussing recent events with North America. After the servant reminded me, Simon hung up the phone. It was almost eight o'clock.When we came to the restaurant, we all sat at the table.

Besides Raymond Johnston and his wife, there is Veronica Johnston, who is as quiet as ever. David Johnston and his girlfriend Leslie whitter, as well as Patrick Johnston and Sara kiston, who have just returned from England, are on purpose.

After greeting everyone, Simon sat down next to Janet, and Raymond Johnston asked, "what's going on in North America?"

Simon picked up the cutlery and said, "it's still very lively."

Raymond Johnston nodded and said, "what you've achieved in recent years is beyond the comprehension of most ordinary people. It's no surprise that they will react like this. After the wedding, you and jennie have a good rest and less exposure to the media. Things will soon cool down. In fact, I suggest that you don't do too much in the next few years and give the public a time to adapt. "

Before Simon could answer, Janet couldn't help retorting, "you can't do nothing, can you?"

Raymond glared at his daughter: "it's not to do nothing, but to keep a low profile and carefully integrate and digest the existing assets."

There are too many people in the restaurant. Simon can't talk to the old man about danielis Entertainment's acquisition of MCA this year. He just nodded in agreement.

Janet's mother, Tracy Johnston, listened to her husband and looked at Simon. "You two better have a baby soon."

When she said this, Janet's face turned red. She didn't know whether it was real or fake.

The report from the British Institute of genetics was handed to Simon last week, and there was no problem. In fact, Simon didn't worry too much at first, because it was not as serious as Simon's memory. Therefore, both of them have decided to have a child as soon as possible, which is Janet's expectation. On the other hand, it can also increase Simon's involvement in the world.

After breakfast, Anthony Johnston and Norman Johnston also arrived

the wedding day after tomorrow, and there are too many things to do in the next two days.

After assigning the schedule, Simon and Janet go to Yarra Valley Park together. The flower labyrinth that the woman is preparing is going to be built today. She wants to watch it herself. Simon has to catch up at Melbourne Airport. Some guests will arrive one after another today.

In the closed Park, Janet had a discussion with the person in charge of the preparatory team. Seeing that everyone was busy, she said to Simon, "there's another thing. Kate and Jane will come in the afternoon. We're going to have a bachelor party in Bali tomorrow. What about you?"

The farewell party before the wedding is also a Western custom.

Simon didn't think of it. He said with a smile, "why don't I go with you?"

Janet immediately rolled her eyes and said, "I'll take you there. Is that a bachelor party?"

Simon reached for the woman, put his arms around her waist and said, "go play. I don't have this habit. By the way, don't be too crazy."

Even if Simon wants to have a bachelor party, he doesn't seem to have a peer to play with.

Janet turned her eyes and thought of something, but looked up at Simon and gave up. She felt that her old lady could help Simon organize. She just thought about the last time Simon was in the park. She doesn't want any change in her long-awaited wedding.

Looking at the staff who are busy building the flower wall and smelling the rose smell in the air, Janet put her head on Simon's chest and murmured, "little bastard, are we really going to get married?"

Simon nodded with a smile: "yes."

"I just want to reconfirm."

"Shall I pinch you to prove that you are not dreaming?"

"Well."

Simon's big hand glides down and gently pinches the woman's hip.

Janet grunted and hugged Simon tightly.

Feeling that the woman in his arms was getting softer and softer, Simon just hugged her and sat down on the lawn.

Seeing this situation, all the staff around dodged.

In the air gradually floated some shallow humming, gentle, dumb.

*……

*When I was a little girl, I asked my mother.

*What will happen in the future?

*Will I be beautiful? Will I become rich?

*Mom said.

*Let it be.

*It's hard to know what's going on in the world.

*……

Although there is no piano sound, the melody is just like the warm Christmas Eve.
