Everyone was very busy, and the old man and Anthony left in a hurry after only one weekend in the United States.

For two days, except for flying to San Francisco on Saturday afternoon to attend the launch of Tinkobar's new generation of ICAM, the old man spent most of his time meeting with the top executives of the Westeros system who flew to Los Angeles from all over the United States, and commented on many executives according to his own feelings.

March 28th.

It's another Monday in the blink of an eye.

After announcing a partnership with the New York Times Group last Monday and a war with the Hearst family, the past week, coupled with the fact that Ygritt has simultaneously launched cooperation talks with three other print media groups in the United States, the media that has been accusing Simon of too much wealth and too luxurious life since the beginning of the month has gradually died down, and the rebound in the Nasdaq technology sector has caused a lot of hedging capital losses for those who are actively betting on short technology stocks.

In politics, the topic of Simon has been hyped up for nearly a month, and the public attention that should be squeezed has been exhausted. A congressional candidate will either die down or continue to push the White House or Congress to impose restrictions on the Westeros system.

In response, the Westeros system's 'sniper plan' was launched at the same time, in addition to a plan to maintain the political base of the Westeros system.

At the same time as Joseph Schlap laid out the political sniper list, negotiations with the Rifle Association to maintain the political base of the Westeros system were also tentatively agreed. After all, both sides are just trying to exert their influence on the political circles, not to mention that there are not many lists of strong opposites, the rifle association is deeply entrenched, and the Westeros system is also not suitable to provoke, rather than-for-tat, it is better to work together.

In general, the game will probably not settle until the results of the midterm elections at the end of the year are in.

Simon was well aware of the implications of the outcome of the game for the future of the Westeros system, and after November 8, 1994, he would either continue to put voters first or start money politics. Therefore, Simon spared no effort in this plan, and approved a budget plan of 100 million US dollars in the first tranche, and will continue to add more. Even if it burns three or five billion dollars, it will not hesitate.

With such a large political campaign budget, it is certainly not possible to give it all to certain candidates according to the restrictions of the federal campaign law, but in any form, as long as it can hit the political opponents of the Westeros system, the operation team will be decisive.

On the other hand, after completely severing cooperation with the Hearst Group last week and asking partners to take sides, Simon was somewhat surprised that apart from the publication of some war of words in the group's newspaper, the Hearst family did not immediately make a substantive counterattack.

Just when Simon thought that the Hearst family had finally come to terms with the situation and were also looking for reconciliation, early Monday morning, several major newspapers on the east and west coasts of the Hearst Group suddenly exposed a series of heavyweight 'gossip' about Simon.

First of all, the Greenwich Age Times, which is owned by the Hearst Group on the East Coast, broke the news that Simon's two lovers, the 'waist essence' and 'leg essence' he held in one hand all owned multiple properties in Manhattan, and these expensive properties were completely beyond the reach of the two supermodels, so the source is needless to say.

Supermodels seem to be beautiful, but in fact, their income is far less than the outside world thinks.

"Vanity Fair" magazine ranked the 1993 supermodel income list, the first place Cindy Crawford, the annual income is only 7 million US dollars, this is still pre-tax income, excluding personal income tax, brokerage company commissions and other expenses, the supermodel may not even fall by half of the end.

As for the 'waist spirit' Yasmin Gary and 'leg spirit' Naga Allman, who have just risen in the last two years, Vanity Fair magazine tied for last year's revenue, both at $2 million. Of course, this is only an inaccurate estimate, but it is not far between.

The annual income of $2 million, also excluding taxes and other expenses, is only about half.

A net income of $1 million seems like a lot, however, as a public celebrity, maintenance, outfits, travel and other expenses are also expensive, not to mention, women have always been the most spendable creatures, and in addition to the basic expenses, plus other expenses, in the end, it will not fall much.

This is the reason why many once-glamorous supermodels have gone bankrupt like many NBA stars. If the end is slightly better, find a rich husband to make a vase to decorate the façade with peace of mind, more of them are towards mediocrity, just like ordinary people who run around for life all day long, and even on the streets are no longer a few.

As a result, it is clear that the 'waist spirit' and the 'leg essence' cannot pay for more than one property worth millions of dollars alone.

If that's all there is to it, this gossip will only be like a lot of lace about Simon, and everyone will be lively and will die down.

After all, for so many years, even if he is married, all kinds of scandals about Simon in various gossip tabloids have not been broken, and Simon has never thought of packaging himself as a perfect good man in front of the public.

It's just that at the same time as breaking the gossip, the Greenwich Times also publicly reported to the IRS that two supermodels were suspected of tax evasion.

In most Western countries, large gifts are also taxable.

However, the Greenwich Age Times published no gift tax returns for the past year on the two supermodels' tax returns related to their properties, so the article concluded that the two supermodels had concealed at least $2 million in gift tax returns.

Apparently under the operation of the Hearst family, the IRS responded quickly, and early in the morning when the gossip was reported, the two supermodels who were resting in Manhattan at New York Fashion Week, the last stop of the fashion season at the end of the month, were taken from their respective apartments, and the relevant footage was directly logged into the local TV station's live news program.

Many reporters flocked to the IRS headquarters in New York.

In the blink of an eye, the gossip showed signs of developing into a scandal.

Simon didn't show too many people the lively plan, and the West Coast was woken up by the ringing of the phone around five o'clock in the morning, and it was quickly arranged that the two women were taken away by IRS law enforcement officers before they were released on bail by Westeros system lawyers less than an hour later.

Isn't it just a tax payment?

The IRS is advertised by the newspapers and media as domineering and murderous, and what gang leaders can escape the law but can't escape the clutches of the IRS, in fact, for those at the top of the federal pyramid. Everyone should avoid taxes and avoid taxes, and even if they are discovered, they are often just paying taxes, except for a few business and political game reasons that are completely because of taxes, and few have heard of which rich people are really sent to prison for tax evasion.

In the final analysis, the IRS is just 'begging for money', and if you are caught, then you can pay as much as you want, and I will definitely watch you in the future, but if you are sent to prison, the rich will not sit still

Once the matter starts to dig down, spending tens of millions of investigation lawyer fees for millions of tax arrears will completely outweigh the losses. Law enforcement and lawyer fees in the United States are notoriously expensive. Just like a lot of investigations against the president, maybe it's just some trivial things like stealing, after a toss, tens of millions of dollars are gone, and the public has no idea where all this money is spent.

What's more, the two ladies will not go out of their way to buy real estate in Manhattan directly in their own names without using some financial means at all.

In order to avoid various taxes in the process of purchasing property, many wealthy people often trade in the name of shell companies in overseas tax havens, which can not only avoid some taxes in the process of purchasing real estate, but also avoid inheritance tax in the future.

This kind of operation is obviously rubbing the edges, but the IRS simply does not have the strength to carry out cross-border investigations, and the reason why tax havens dare to be called tax havens is definitely not in vain, so this home purchase model has gradually become a kind of default.

Both women used this very common method for the wealthy to buy a house, and the property in their name was registered in Bermuda, even if many local registration records in Manhattan can prove that the owners of the property are two women, it is not easy for the IRS to find out the source of funds for the purchase in Bermuda.

Therefore, this time the IRS can be said to have once again played the role of a gun in the high-level game.

Simon Westeros offered to smooth out the matter for the two daughters to pay back taxes, and the IRS was happy to see it, after all, it was just a 'quest for money', the Hearst family was deeply entrenched, and Westeros was also not something the IRS could easily provoke. We took the money and successfully got ourselves out of this matter, and the next thing was the collision of the two giants themselves, and the small fish and shrimp automatically climbed away.

The East Coast turmoil quickly subsided before it could be provoked.

However, the 'tax evasion' incident of the two girls is obviously just an appetizer.

On the West Coast, when dawn hits, San Francisco residents wake up early and set up a new day's "San Francisco Chronicle" on their lawns, and the immediate sight is another, even more exciting news.

'Simon Westeros' illegitimate daughter exposed. ’

Doris Feicher, a former waitress of the Victorian family who was 'exiled' to Tierra del Fuego for attempting to betray her assistant's pregnancy, testified in the article that the Westeros family was registered as twins in Janet Westeros' name, and that the girls were actually born to Simon Westeros and his female assistant, Jennifer Raybould.

According to Doris Feicher, in order to avoid the scandal, Janet Westeros had to be forced to take the girl named Seattle Westeros in her name.

The former maid of the Wei family, who had no scruples at all, also broke the news in the article, Simon Westeros and Janet Westeros are just superficial husband and wife, this young super-rich man has affairs with many actresses in private, often has a lot of P, and likes to seduce other people's wives very much, Janet Westeros and Jennifer Raybould are pregnant at the same time in the process of sleeping with Westeros.

At the end of the article, Janet Westeros suddenly left Los Angeles with her children last week and returned to Melbourne, and it is suspected that the couple's marriage can no longer be sustained, and the largest divorce battle in history is about to begin.

Illegitimate daughters, multiple p, like wives, $200 billion divorce battle.

All right.

With the exception of the last one, everything else seems to be quite accurate.

However, it is precisely because it is so hot that when the article appears in the newspaper, readers with a little bit of brains think of the Westeros system's ban on the Hearst Group last week, and naturally regard the article as a counterattack by the Hearst Group against Simon Westeros.

What's more, the material is indeed a big material.

It's just that.

no picture you say a **！

In the whole article, except for the photo of Doris Ficher, the former maid of the Wei family as the main whistleblower, there is only a photo of Simon and his wife in public, and there is no other substantive photo evidence, after all, the title is Westeros's illegitimate daughter exposed, so let's give a photo of a little girl.

Therefore, the public relations team of the Westeros family fought back immediately.

A solemn statement from the Eaglet portal stated that the Westeros family would immediately initiate a lawsuit against the San Francisco Chronicle for the right to reputation lawsuit, and that the Westeros family would also immediately initiate proceedings against Doris Fetcher for serious breach of non-disclosure agreements.

The San Francisco Chronicle looks like a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water, and looks like waiting for you to sue.

Doris Fetcher obviously did not forget the previous confidentiality agreement, but the lawyer of the former Victorian maid continued to state in the media that the Westeros couple took the initiative to tear up the labor agreement and dismiss her, because the other party did not fulfill the contract, so the confidentiality agreement is also invalid.

It's just that this statement was quickly slapped in the face by a copy of the non-disclosure agreement published on the Igrett portal.

The terms of the confidentiality agreement clearly stipulate that Doris Feicher must abide by all the terms of the confidentiality agreement if she leaves her job for any reason, and in the event of a violation, the Westeros family has the right to claim 10 times the amount of all remuneration and benefits for her service to Doris Feicher.

The salary of the Wei family waiter has long been exposed, and the annual salary of the highest-level personal maid is as high as 200,000 US dollars, and there are almost the same amount of maintenance, medical treatment, decoration, travel, catering and other benefits every year, adding up to 400,000 US dollars.

Doris Ficher joined the company in September 1990 and was fired last year, exactly three years. $1.2 million compensation benefits for 3 years, according to the contract, the amount of compensation required is up to $12 million.

Simon didn't intend to be soft this time.

Just want to see if the Hearst family is reluctant to pay $12 million in compensation for the former Wei family maid.

Moreover, while the Egrett portal disclosed the non-disclosure agreement, it did not forget to add a sentence, asking Doris Fischer if she dared to confess to the public why she was expelled?

In the past, Jeff Bezos was suddenly exposed by the media for a cheating scandal, and the result of the matter was that except for having to end his marriage with his wife for more than ten years and carry out a huge division of property at the same time, the behemoth of Amazon was hardly affected.

Simon now, the Westeros system now, is equally resistant to scandal.

So, while the revelations of the Greenwich Age Times and the San Francisco Chronicle sparked a swath of verbal criticism of Simon by defenders, there was little substantial damage to Simon now.

A new week.

Except for Janet who called from Australia and complained that she had no face to see anyone, Simon's work and life are still business as usual.
