Strictly speaking, "Forbes" magazine's 98700 million USD valuation of Eric's net worth this year is relatively accurate.
Eric ’s current assets mainly include Firefly Group and Firefly investments.
Control Firefly Group involving more than 20 subsidiaries in the fields of film, television, paradise, comics, music and special effects. The fixed asset scale alone has reached 50 billion USD. In 1996, Firefly's actual revenue data for the whole year was 3 1.3 billion USD, which was almost 1.5 times the combined revenue of the two companies Time Warner and Viacom. The market value of Time Warner and Viacom were 24 300 million USD and 28 800 million USD respectively. Then, "Forbes" The valuation of 85 billion USD of Firefly Group is not exaggerated in any way.
The proportion of Eric to Firefly Group is 73.7%, and the value of this part of the stock reaches 62.7 billion USD.
On the other hand, Firefly invests heavily in Cisco, Nokia, AOL and other companies, because most of them are listed, the asset value is easier to estimate. According to various public data, the value of this part of Eric ’s assets is probably at 36billion USD.
The addition of the two happens to be 98700 million USD given by Forbes magazine.
Westerners generally advocate miracles and personal heroism. But when certain miracles far exceed their cognition, they often have doubts.
The net worth of Eric individual 98700 million USD is 62.3 billion USD higher than that of second place Bill · Gates 36400 million USD. This disparity in data has caused a strong sense of unreality for too many people, so the question is almost inevitable.
In order to resolve the possible antitrust investigation risk of rendering Firefly Group as a "media oligarch" in "Forbes" magazine, Eric took advantage of this kind of doubt and subtly transferred the media topics to himself in the following days.
After the latest "Forbes" magazine was published, financial reporters and critics who originally published articles on low-volume professional journals or second- and third-line newspaper criticized Eric ’s personally overvalued articles have received mainstream North America Daily and magazine's draft articles, I hope they can discuss the latest issue of "Forbes" magazine rich list.
Of course, it is impossible for these media people to know that it was Eric who was behind the scenes. He published articles on such influential media platforms as "The Washington Post", "New York Post", "Wall Street Daily", and "Yahoo Finance". The same is the best way to expand personal influence, so they scrambled and brainstormed one after another, and detailed articles were soon released.
There are also many people who are aware of the close relationship between these media platforms and Firefly Group or Eric themselves, but as media people who at least seem to pursue free speech on the surface, they certainly will not be for an opportunity. Change your opinion easily. When many people submitted comments that they thought might be left with these media platforms, they even made up their minds to argue with each other to show their style. Unexpectedly, these articles were published without hindrance.
For a time, most of the media in North America appeared articles that questioned the accuracy of Forbes's magazine data and criticized Eric Williams's personal net worth as being seriously overestimated.
"98700 million USD, a popular digital game."
"The seriously overrated Yahoo network company."
"IT industry profit margins are generally low, and there is a serious bubble in the valuation of Firefly investment company 36billion USD."
"Net profit 17.600 million USD, Firefly Group net interest rate has shrunk severely."
"..."
Under the sudden strong public offensive, in order to maintain their credibility, the Forbes Group naturally fought back. For a time, the two parties had no quarrels on paper media, TV and even online platforms. Most news topics were focused on In the end how much money Eric.
Because the party opposed to the magazine data of "Forbes" seems too powerful, in the end, most ordinary people unwittingly accepted the views of the opposition, and regarded the data of "Forbes" magazine as a popular joke . Under the repeated information bombardment, the majority of the public generally recognized that the actual personal net worth of Eric was also locked in the scale of June 7 10 billion USD. Although it is still too much higher than the second place in the list, it is closer to 100billion USD The numbers are relatively easy to accept.
This is exactly what Eric wants to see.
Noisy and noisy for a week, the topic naturally began to cool down, but few media have paid attention to the "media oligarch" argument thrown by "Forbes" magazine.
Even if some media-sensitive people are aware of the signs of human manipulation, they are doomed to find direct evidence.
After all, Eric's manipulation of Yu Lun is very clever this time, just let people who already hold certain opinions make more voices in the media, and then cause the entire media circle to follow the hype. There are always too many people in this world, and they don't know what their opinions can achieve.
In a flash, the new week and weekend have arrived.
A brand new explosive news that swept the media ’s last interest in the magazine rich list of "Forbes" into the corner and quickly focused on this matter.
This is the new week's Box Office data for "Titanic".
"Titanic" is released to today. With a series of miraculous Box Office data refreshing many people's cognition of the traditional movie Box Office data, the news about this film has exceeded the scope of film and television entertainment and has become a social topic. .
After another week of reflection, because the Oscar awards ceremony will be held next Monday, North America "Titanic" fans are looking forward to the moment when the local film Box Office breaks through 500 million USD. Therefore, compared to the previous week, "Titanic" North America was released on the 13th Weekly Box Office reversed again, reaching 23 million USD, cumulative Box Office reached 4.9200 million USD, only one step away from 500 million.
But what attracts all media attention is not the North America Box Office data that has been surprisingly numb, but the overseas Box Office data.
Last week, after several months of strong publicity, "Titanic" overseas release countries and regions have increased by 17 in one fell swoop, and the total number of overseas ticket warehouses has reached 46, including France, Germany and Japan. The most important overseas ticket warehouse country.
Obviously, under the circumstance that Titanic North America, Box Office and award nominations have created a series of miracles, the expectations of these newly released overseas audiences have reached the highest level.
So, after a brand new week, the Box Office numbers of "Titanic" in 46 countries and regions overseas reached a jaw-dropping 1.7900 million USD.
Be aware that before this, "Titanic" has been released in countries and regions overseas. Although the release date is uncertain, the cumulative Box Office has only reached 400 million USD in the 12 weeks from the same period of the North America release. In just one week, with the help of the newly opened 17 Box Office countries, it was only a week. The overseas single week Box Office of "Titanic" was close to half of the accumulated Box Office in the previous 12 weeks. This is definitely a miracle.
Of these newly released countries, it is not surprising that the performance of Box Office in France, Germany and Japan three ticket warehouse countries is particularly eye-catching.
Box Office equivalent to USD reached 28 million in the first week in France, 26 million USD in Germany in the first week, and Japan has reached an astonishing 4more than 9 million USD, just these three big ticket warehouses, contributed 100 million to the total Box Office number of "Titanic" in just one week Zero 3 million USD. Although the remaining 43 countries and regions, on average, each ticket warehouse only provided more than 1.7 million USD Box Office, but the overall 76 million USD Box Office still far exceeds the average data of the previous 12 weeks.
Considering that the overseas Box Office towns of France, Germany, Japan may come out of the Box Office curve similar to North America, and there will still be 22 countries and regions in the next period of time, many Box Office institutions are boldly predicting, "Titanic" next One week, with the help of the Oscar award ceremony and the new opening of the ticket box, the overseas single-week Box Office is likely to break through the miraculous 200 million USD.
In this era, Hollywood99% of the films, the total overseas Box Office number may not be able to reach 200 million, but "Titanic" may achieve this feat within a week.
At this time, under the stimulation of the Box Office outbreak of 1.7 900 million USD overseas, "Titanic" global Box Office has cumulatively exceeded 1 billion 7 1 million USD. If in the next few weeks, the overseas Box Office of "Titanic" can maintain the scale above and below the single-week 200 million USD, the "Titanic" global total Box Office reaches 2 billion USD, which is no longer a distant number.
global Box Office 2 billion USD, just Box Office data, will bring the net profit of 500 million USD to Firefly Group, Hollywood Film Industry business of the seven major parties, do n’t say a movie, most of the time, the net profit of the movie released throughout the year In sum, it is not always possible to reach 500 million USD.
Moreover, Box Office income is just the beginning. Because the Box Office data is far from the sky, although the peripheral income of the later videotapes, soundtracks, etc., certainly cannot be calculated according to the traditional income ratio, but it is conceivable that this part of income will still be a terrible astronomical figure. In the entire profit cycle of "Titanic", after the operation of the entire industry chain, it is not impossible for Firefly Group to recover the profit of 2billion USD which is equivalent to the figure of Box Office.
This weekend, Eric can finally take a break.
However, it is not possible to have a complete leisure. After all, next Monday is the Oscar awards ceremony. This time, because of the "My Heart Will Go On" won the Oscar nomination for the best original song, Eric must still attend.
It ’s interesting to say. From 1988 to the present, Eric has produced many movies, but so far, he has not won the best Director award, but on the best screenwriter and best original song. Nominated, and the former little gold man has already got it, no surprise this time, we can definitely get another little gold man.
In a living room of the Cliff Peak Manor villa, Eric stretched his arms and let the twins beside him look exactly like him to help him wear a dress. He was interested and asked a girl Manager who stood beside the Givenchy store: " Baby, you see, I have won the best Original Script award, and this time I won a best original song little gold man, it should not be too much problem. Then next, will I always get these peripheral awards, best special effects Ah, the best editing, the best soundtrack, and so on, all the awards are taken one by one, Oh, what do you say, Grand Slam? "
The girl chuckled and said, "You must not get a Grand Slam because you are a man."
"Okay, I mean," Eric also remembered that the best hostess or female match is definitely impossible in his life. He continued: "Those I can get."
"You also can't get the best actor and best supporting actor," the girl tilted her lips, of course she knew what Eric wanted to do and continued to "strike".
Everyone laughed lightly.
Sister Natasha clasped the button of the black dress on Eric and stood quietly beside him.
Eric is naturally not interested in trying clothes. He is more used to buying a stack of identical clothes and wearing them all the time. However, this time the girl had to go to red carpet with Eric, and he had to let him try out a suit matching his own dress.
Eric is not clear anyway, these black suits all look similar, what is necessary to try again and again.
The girl apparently saw the impatientness of Eric, walked up and down and looked at it, and whispered a few words to Givenchy's female client Manager, who said, "Okay, let's just say this Natasha, take off the clothes, the sleeves need to be changed a little bit. "
......
......
The girl chuckled and said, "You must not get a Grand Slam because you are a man."
"Okay, I mean," Eric also remembered that the best mistress and matchmaker would be impossible in his life. He continued: "Those I can get." >
"You also can't get the best actor and best supporting actor," the girl tilted her lips, of course she knew what Eric thought, and continued to "hit".
Everyone laughed lightly.
Sister Natasha buckled up the button of the black dress on Eric and stood quietly aside.
Eric has no natural interest in trying on clothes. He is more used to buying a stack of identical clothes and wearing them all the time. However, this time the girl had to go to red carpet with Eric, and he had to let him try out a suit matching his own dress.

The girl clearly saw the impatience of Eric. She walked up and down and looked at it, and whispered a few words to Givenchy ’s female client Manager, who said, "Okay, let ’s do this. Natasha, take off your clothes, the sleeves need to be changed a little bit. "(To be continued.)
