The two sat down on the guest couch by the window in the study, and Judith Miller took out a notepad and tape recorder from her satchel while secretly observing the young man opposite. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

In contrast to Western women, who are generally prone to premature aging, most Western men are the opposite, and many young people tend to be in their twenties with childish blush and freckles on their faces.

However, although he retains his youthful blonde hair and has no traces of stubble on his cheeks, the angular face in front of him does not give people any sense of youthfulness. Judith Miller, on the contrary, felt a kind of maturity and composure from Eric, which can only appear after the tempering of the world.

Cindy quickly brought in a pot of coffee, carefully poured it for the two of them, then smiled and nodded at them before exiting the study.

Cindy's presence interrupted Judith Miller's observation of Eric, noticing a faint smile on the man's face, and Judith Miller realized that she had just been looking at the other for a little longer. Smiling embarrassedly, Judith Miller turned on the recorder, took the notepad in his hand, looked at the other party and said: "So, Mr. Williams, according to the latest statistics, with the listing of Yahoo, your personal net worth has reached 265 billion US dollars, even exceeding the latest GDP value of the Russian Federation, can you tell us what you think about this wealth?"

Eric's first instinct was to think that this was another non-nutritious topic similar to 'what it feels like to be the richest man in the world', but in the blink of an eye, he realized that the problem was not so simple.

Judith Miller was clearly asking about Eric's view of what the wealth itself meant, not how he felt at the moment.

After hesitating for a moment, Eric smiled and shook his head, "I'm sorry, I don't know how to answer your question. ”

Actually, it's not that I don't know how to answer, but the question itself is too sensitive.

As Judith Miller said, $265 billion is more than Russia's current gross domestic product. While the heritage of a superpower like Russia cannot be measured in terms of GDP alone, the $265 billion, and the much larger social capital associated with that wealth, have touched on the most fundamental question of control over the United States.

At that time, the Rockefeller family's wealth was only 1.6% of the GDP of the United States, and it was already considered to control the entire United States. Since then, Eric has had a wealth that has accounted for far more of the US GDP than the Rockefeller family in its heyday.

The Rockefeller family almost controlled the lifeblood of the American energy industry after the Second Industrial Revolution, and similarly, Eric's industry also involved the core electronic information field after the Third Technological Revolution.

At this time, Yahoo, Cisco, Amazon, Qualcomm, Nokia and other core companies of the Firefly system have all shown their rise, and Eric is also very confident that several of these companies will not repeat the mistakes of the past. Then, after the foundation of these enterprises is further consolidated and continues to expand in the next decade, it is not an exaggeration to say that the Firefly system controls the lifeblood of the information industry in the United States.

On the other hand, in order to ensure that the overall interests of the Firefly system will not be affected by the direction of US national policy in the future expansion process, Firefly must also strengthen its influence in the political field, and even control the replacement of the top power level in the United States as much as possible.

This is definitely not something that Eric can avoid if he is not interested in politics, and if Firefly does not do this, he will only face ruthless and strong suppression by competitors using political means. At the same time, Eric's own huge wealth is enough to support the expansion of the Firefly system in the political field.

Well, finally, add to that the strong layout of Firefly in Hollywood.

Thereupon.

Politics, economics, culture.

It's all set.

Doesn't these three words sound familiar when stacked on top of each other? Normally, most capitals are referred to as the political, economic, and cultural centers of a country.

If a consortium can demonstrate strong control over the political, economic, and cultural aspects of the country in which it operates, then it is obvious that the consortium is also controlling the entire country.

While all countries have a ruling class in front of and behind the scenes, it is clear that the majority of ordinary people are reluctant to face this problem. Therefore, it was absolutely impossible for Eric to talk about this in depth in front of Judith Miller, and he did not want to be perfunctory, so he simply refused.

At the same time, Eric also realized that the next question of the female reporter in front of him would definitely not be too polite, so he secretly cheered up.

Judith Miller didn't expect that the first question he had carefully prepared would be rejected by Eric outright, without even an ambiguous answer. After a pause, she showed a polite smile, looked down at the notepad, and then continued: "Mr. Williams, based on the stock price at the close of trading yesterday, Yahoo's price-to-earnings ratio has reached 530 times, what do you think of the serious bubble problem in Yahoo's stock price?"

……
