As another high-tech subsidiary of the Westeros system that has risen rapidly from obscurity, Nokia's stock price soared on the first day of listing, once again becoming the focus of mainstream media around the world.

After the weekend, a forward-looking article in "Forbes" led by Nokia became the hottest topic at the end of August.

After "Forbes" magazine commented on Nokia's rise and development prospects in detail, it also stated in the article that it will officially announce the list of the 9 richest people in the United States in 6 on September 1993, and the list of the world's richest people will also be released in November. roll out.

If it was a few years ago, the position of the richest man in the United States and the world may still be in suspense. Japanese real estate tycoons, the Walton family, etc., are all quite strong competitors.

It is obviously impossible to have a second choice for the current top position on the rich list.

The only thing everyone is curious about is how much Simon Westeros' net worth has increased this year.

The lawsuits and media hustle and bustle caused by the 58list website fraud case did not ease because of Nokia's listing and the upcoming "Forbes" rich list, but became more and more loud.

After the "San Francisco Chronicle" provoked the topic, other paper media responded one after another, and all over the United States successively raised various questions about 58list.

On August 8, a Chicago city councilor publicly accused Eaglet in the local "Chicago Sun" for condoning irresponsible citizens to sell pit bulls that are strictly prohibited in the Chicago area on the 23list website.

The "Houston Chronicle" in Texas published screenshots of evidence claiming to have found illegal prostitution information on the 58list website.

A pair of young parents in Miami wanted to sell their three-month-old daughter on 58list.

A user in Washington found his stolen car on the New York city section.

As such.

At the same time, other cases similar to the San Francisco job scam case appeared in the newspapers.

After the initial silent wait-and-see, taking advantage of the opportunity of this fraud case, the traditional paper media almost unanimously made a sudden effort, obviously planning to kill the 1list website, which was opened less than a month ago, in the cradle.

Public opinion continued until later, when a Republican senator in the U.S. Congress said in an interview with the Washington Post that he would submit a congressional hearing on whether the 58list website owned by Eaglet Corporation was suspected of condoning crimes and endangering public safety. Initiate further investigation and litigation.

The rebound of traditional print media was completely expected.

According to the user data released by major Internet service providers in July and August, as of June 6, in the first half of 30, the number of World Wide Web access users in the United States alone has reached 1993 million, covering more than 3769 million Internet users. It is estimated that in the whole year of 6000, the number of users accessing the World Wide Web in the United States will reach about 1993 million, and the number of Internet users covered will be close to 4600 million.

7500 million Internet users are already close to 2.6% of the total population of 30 million in the United States.

Although there is still a big gap between televisions and telephones, which have a coverage rate of more than 90%, there is still a point that cannot be ignored. These 30% of covered users are definitely the group with the strongest spending power in the United States.

Similarly, these people are also the most high-quality customers of the US print media industry.

Even though many people are still unwilling to admit it, with the rapid popularization of the Internet, the decline trend of the traditional paper media industry is becoming more and more obvious.

Users only need to spend tens of dollars a month equivalent to subscribing to a newspaper to enjoy more timely and rich services such as news information, e-mail, social networking, online games, etc. Consumers will make almost no choice. suspense.

In the original time and space, in June 1993, the New York Times Group acquired another large East Coast newspaper, The Boston Post, for a huge sum of US$6 billion.

Probably feeling the decline of the print media industry. Although this transaction has also taken place, the transaction volume is only 8 million US dollars, and the price has dropped by almost 30%. This change is largely affected by the rise of Internet media.

Therefore, the traditional print media industry has presumably been waiting for some opportunity.

The opening of the 58list website and the occurrence of the fraud case in San Francisco finally gave the traditional paper media an excuse to attack Eaglet.

After all, just over half a month after its opening, the millions of classified information advertisements on the 58list website have already brought hundreds of millions of potential losses to traditional print media.If free classified information websites on Internet platforms become popular from then on, the traditional paper media’s annual advertising revenue of US$200 billion will be wiped out.

If the huge loss of 200 billion U.S. dollars was not scattered among more than 2000 newspapers in the United States, involving such a huge amount of industrial income, it would be enough to start a war, let alone murder and arson.

It is not that American newspaper giants have never provoked wars.

Simon attached great importance to this crisis of public opinion, and personally participated in the formation of a crisis management team for this incident. However, he didn't really feel that he was facing an enemy.

Such a historical trend at the level of an industrial revolution cannot be resisted by one or two public opinion attacks.

Even if the 58list website was shut down under pressure in the end, Eaglet did not actually suffer much loss.

The fire has been ignited. Even if 58list is shut down, there will inevitably be more classified information websites.

Without the strong background support of Eaglet Corporation, those classified information websites with mixed quality can only bring more potential threats to users, let alone use private investigation teams to protect users' rights and interests.

It took only three days for the team led by Martin Dinham to identify the suspected target, but there were problems in the tracing phase.

Probably because they felt that things were getting serious, and by the time the team found the residences of some suspects, the targets had already fled ahead of time.Fortunately, through more follow-up clues, the investigation team further confirmed the identity of the suspected target.

Originally, it was only necessary to let the victim confirm and issue a warrant through official channels. However, these days, some people probably do not want this fraud case to be detected. The San Francisco police should have behaved well after the case received widespread media attention. Obviously very slack.

Even the two victims who had agreed to cooperate with Ygritte's team in the investigation suddenly stopped contact with Ygritte, leaving only the lawyer's official words every time.

It is conceivable that once a wanted warrant is issued, the suspect will only flee to a more hidden place. With the attitude shown by the San Francisco police, it will be even more difficult to catch someone.

Simon made up his mind to raise his prestige through this incident and warn potential criminals who want to commit crimes on the Ygritte platform.

Aware of the official slowdown, Simon directly mobilized half of his intelligence team to gather in San Francisco. At the same time, he also quietly released the three identified suspects in the underground world in the western states and even the border area between Mexico and the United States. Dollar bounty.

For gangs all over North America with far better news than the official, $10 per head is definitely not a small amount.

Hiring a professional killer doesn't necessarily require so much money.

As a result, within a week of the spread of the reward order, the news spread quickly that someone asked Martin Dinham, who was in charge of the matter, to bring cash and rush to pick him up in Tijuana, Mexico, which borders southern California.

He actually fled to Mexico.

If the authorities issue a wanted warrant, unless those people return to the United States, it is wishful thinking to try to arrest people.

Moreover, it was not the three who announced the reward, but five in total.

The local gangsters in Tijuana are very generous. Of course they don’t know why these people were offered rewards. However, since only three people were offered rewards, they only received 30 US dollars. There is still a chance to 'cooperate' next time.

After all, there are quite a few people who flee from the United States to Mexico every year for various reasons.

If it's all worth that much, it's a lot of business.

The gang leader who contacted Martin Dinham also said that he could 'dispose' people directly in Mexico, which is much lower risk than bringing them back to North America. Only a little more money can make a few people disappear completely.At that time, the few unlucky guys who were tied up like goods and placed beside them were so scared that they peed their pants on the spot.

Immediately, a rather dramatic scene appeared.

Amidst the hustle and bustle of public opinion, five fraudsters suddenly appeared and voluntarily walked into the local police station in San Francisco to surrender.

With the identification of the victim and various other evidences, the criminal appeared in front of his eyes. Even if he did not want to solve the case, the authorities could not continue to make peace, so the five-member fraud gang was quickly and formally arrested.

However, things here are just the beginning.

When the paper media of all parties hadn’t reacted to the trend of accusing Igret, another news broke out. After interrogation, the fraud gang turned out to be a long-running habitual offender. Before committing fraud through the 58list website, they still relied on traditional newspapers. Classifieds ads on , have committed too many scams and just never caught them.

Until planted in this emerging Internet fraud.

Because the incident was a big deal, photos of the five suspects were quietly circulated on the Internet, as if to confirm the confessions of the five suspects. Victims in Seattle, Portland, Los Angeles and other places have come forward to identify that they have been scammed by the five suspects , most of them were fooled by classified information advertisements in traditional paper media.

This time it became lively immediately.

Eaglet's crisis management team for this incident has been arguing for a fact for a while. There are too many similar cases caused by the scam on 58list through traditional paper media. Eaglet Portal also listed a series of cases that are more more serious cases of fraud.

It's just that the traditional paper media that overwhelmingly attacked 58list chose to ignore it.

Everyone is discussing the matter as it stands, don't talk about other things.

Now, well, on to the facts.

The criminal gang involved in this incident carried out job hunting scams across North America through traditional paper media. In just a few days, it has been confirmed that there were 7 cases with police plans. For so many crimes, the relevant newspapers did not give victims a single According to the statement, the police did not detect any related cases.

Now, just started committing crimes on 58list, and the whole gang was caught in less than half a month.

So, which is more reliable, traditional paper media or online platforms?Which one is the real connivance of crime?Which one can better protect the interests of users?

People's eyes are sharp.

During this period of time, Igret Portal has been very frankly introducing the details of the incident and the progress of the case to users in a conspicuous position on the website, and has also given official responses and solutions to various questions in the newspapers.Therefore, although the traditional print media has almost overwhelmingly criticized 58list, the 58list classified information service platform has not suffered much negative impact, but has become more and more popular.

With the detection of the San Francisco job fraud case and the unexpected reversal of the details of the case, the public opinion situation is overwhelmingly leaning towards the Ygret Portal.

It is undeniable that although traditional paper media still have a strong ability to control public opinion, the same is true of the Igret Portal, which has almost monopolized the Internet entrance.

The number of Internet users in North America has exceeded 6000 million, and the average number of users who use the Igret Portal per day has reached 2000 million. Such an information dissemination platform covering the entire United States has far surpassed any federal newspaper in its influence.

When things have developed to such an extent, it is obviously the most correct choice to suffocate. However, some people are obviously not reconciled.

Then another inside story broke out.

In an interview with the "San Francisco Chronicle", the five members of the fraud gang publicly stated that they were illegally detained and threatened with death by Eaglet, and they had to surrender to the police in order to save their lives.The five suspects then announced that they would sue Eaglet for serious violations of civil rights.

The media suddenly became lively again.

Immediately afterwards, the tabloids exposed more detailed inside information. In order to catch this fraud gang, Eaglet Company actually issued a reward to the entire United States and even the underground world in Mexico. The gang is involved.

The media's exposure of these big stories is obviously intended to discredit Ygritte and even the entire Westeros system. However, things did not follow the development of some people's minds.

The people who eat melons just feel that the excitement is getting bigger and bigger.

In fact, Westerners do not have too clear black and white values, which can be seen from the fact that villains are often whitewashed in many Hollywood blockbusters.

In order to catch a group of scammers, Eaglet Corporation did not hesitate to issue a reward to the whole of North America, and even chased them across the country to Mexico to kidnap them. This is completely a super Robin Hood-style chivalrous behavior.

As for illegal detention and death threats?

Those people are villains.

Shouldn't villains be treated like this?

Of course, Eaglet firmly denies the media's revelations and allegations of fraud gangs.

Illegal detention does not exist.

Death threats?

Are you capable of getting the Mexican gang to testify against you?

Of course, if someone continues to use the Eaglet network platform to commit crimes, Eaglet will protect the rights and interests of users at all costs.

Threat?

Of course not, this is just a very kind reminder.

San Francisco, Palo Alto.

The time is October 9th, Friday.

Things basically settled down.

In a reception room of Eaglet’s headquarters, under the arrangement of the company, 58list CEO Michael Novarek is being interviewed by CNN on a series of events that have occurred in the past period.

"Actually, our auditors deleted and blocked all the accusations from various parts of the federal government about illegal sales of prohibited dog breeds, illegal prostitution, and human trafficking on the 58list platform within 30 minutes, and did not cause substantial harm to users. damage, so similar allegations are completely unfounded. Moreover, in addition to the intelligent information filtering system that automatically screens tens of thousands of illegal information every day, we are continuing to recruit manual reviewers to ensure the compliance of platform information to the greatest extent.”

The female reporter who interviewed Michael Novarek was named Laura Spencer. She looked like she was in her 20s. She was wearing a white OL suit. Some of her baby-faced looks were slightly green, but she was not polite at all when she asked the question: "So, Mr. Novarek, how do you ensure that the fraud that just happened some time ago will not recur?"

Michael Novarek said: "Unfortunately, we can't ensure this. I don't think any advertising platform can ensure this. However, we have given users enough reminders. If you are vigilant, you can maximize your chances." Avoid similar incidents from happening. And, even if something that everyone does not want happens, just like this time, we will do everything possible to help users recover their losses.”

Laura Spencer nodded slightly, and the question was still sharp: "The accusations made by several suspects in the last fraud case against Eaglet Company for illegal detention and death threats, Mr. Novarek, is this true?"

"of course not."

"So, why did they voluntarily return to San Francisco from Mexico and surrender to the police? Don't you think this is very unreasonable?"

"It's unreasonable, but I think that's what everyone would like to see. Or, Laura, you want them to get away with it?"

"I just want to know, why did they voluntarily surrender to the police?"

Michael Novarek was not impatient with Laura Spencer's questioning, but instead showed some teasing smiles: "Laura, you just said it yourself, they took the initiative."

"..."

In the living room, Simon listened to the conversation between the two through the glass window. He also raised the corners of his mouth and said to Bezos next to him: "The next thing will be handled by you. I plan to accompany Jenny on maternity leave. Probably By November. Jeff, don’t be careless. In addition, in Washington, although I have made some arrangements, you should set up a fixed lobbying office as soon as possible. If Congress really insists on holding hearings, try to cooperate with them. It will definitely help us, but if you don't give them face, they can also pester you for several years."

Chapter 569 The latest net worth (repair)

As the 58list job hunting fraud case ended in an embarrassing reversal for traditional paper media, this incident is basically settled.

The handling of some subsequent incidents was handed over to the Igret team to be responsible for Simon, and he himself began to accompany the two women on maternity leave.

Both Jenny's due dates are in early November, from September to November, about two months.Although it is impossible to completely ignore everything after all, Simon only plans to take an hour or two at home every day to ask about the company's affairs, and he will no longer go to the company to work every day.

The only hiccup is the need to fly back and forth between Los Angeles and San Francisco.

In fact, I really wanted to arrange for the two women to be together, but as the pregnancy progressed, the female assistant became more and more disapproved, and always felt weird and guilty in front of Janet.

After dealing with the fraud incident, I spent the weekend with my assistant in San Francisco, and left early on Monday morning to return to Los Angeles.

"A case in Miami that also claimed to be scammed on 58list's job search also turned around yesterday. The lady who claimed to be scammed just wanted to blackmail some compensation from the website. The 58list team has started to file fraud and reputation infringement lawsuits. Washington there , The New York Times Group submitted a report to the Senate over the weekend, accusing 58list of providing classified information services as low-price dumping in disguise, with the aim of destroying the entity classified information advertising industry and achieving monopoly. Mr. Schlapp believes that actively pushing Congress to target A hearing on 58list would be the best solution to avoid a formal investigation by the DOJ or Congress if possible. Oh, and one more thing, Ms. Brill just fired the Weinstein brothers over the weekend."

Inside the Boeing 767 back to Los Angeles.

Simon leaned leisurely on the sofa in the front cabin living room, flipping through a script at random while listening to girl A report some company matters.

Hearing that Nancy Brill suddenly fired the Weinstein brothers, Simon finally looked up and looked beside him: "What's going on?"

Alison sat on the side sofa, glanced at her boss, and said: "Harvey Weinstein tried to rape an actress after a movie audition in New York last Friday, WMA entertainer, Mr. Friedman relented after asking himself. However, Ms. Brill later found out, and the decision was made on Sunday."
