The next morning, Linton listened to Winnie's investment report for the entire year of 1997 in his office.
Thanks to the great economic environment in United States, the stock market was booming, with computer and telecommunications sectors performing especially well. The stocks Linton had previously invested in were rising like they were on steroids.
The internet was even crazier. Related stocks were simply skyrocketing; doubling or tripling in a year was considered standard, and Yahoo's stock price even rose sixfold last year.
As of now, the total value of stocks held by the Linton Charity Fund office (including Mangrove Capital) has exceeded 65 billion USD.
Meanwhile, because the Health Care Company's investments focused on stability and risk diversification, less than 30% of its funds were invested in the computer, telecommunications, and internet sectors. Most of the funds were invested in leading companies in traditional industries such as military, automotive, energy, chemical, aviation, logistics, trade, and biology.
Obviously, the growth in value of other industries could not compare to the computer, telecommunications, and internet sectors. It was already remarkable for stock investment value to grow by 15% annually.
Over the past two years, apart from maintaining normal production, the airport, over 20 private jets, and the expenses of the Anderson Farm, the vast majority of the Health Care Company's enormous cash flow was handed over to Winnie for stock market investment. The total capital invested exceeded 40 billion USD.
Now, the value of stocks in the Health Care Company's investment account has also exceeded 53 billion USD.
Not counting anything else, the combined value of stocks held in the two investment accounts — the Charity Fund office and the Health Care Company — exceeded 118 billion USD.
Although Richard had not yet given him a detailed report, the value of stocks held by Skycrest Capital should also be over 20 billion USD. After all, the 7% stake in Cisco alone was worth over 14.7 billion USD.
Additionally, the Skycrest Hedge Fund took advantage of the Asian financial crisis in the second half of last year to harvest wealth aggressively in Southeast Asia, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and other places, earning a total of over 33 billion USD.
Even after giving the operations team their agreed 15% profit share, there was still over 28.5 billion USD in cash sitting in the account.
Just this wealth, excluding the Health Care Company and the two media groups, already reached a staggering 166.5 billion USD.
Seeing these numbers, Linton couldn't help but feel a bit dazed. He had unknowingly become so wealthy.
If this figure were made public, it would surely shock the world. After all, Bill Gates, the world's richest man announced by Forbes magazine last year, only had a fortune of 62 billion USD.
Just as he was holding Winnie, preparing for a more in-depth celebration, his assistant Jennifer Roberts knocked and entered, ignoring the romantic atmosphere. "Boss, Harvey is asking to see you."
"Fine, let him in in an hour."
"Understood." Jennifer Roberts turned to leave and carefully closed the office door.
After dismissing the assistant, Linton stood up and picked up Winnie, walking toward the inner room. "Baby, with such good news, let's have a happy celebration first."
"Honey, it's working hours. Is this okay?"
"It's fine. Nothing is more important than our pleasure right now."
...
An hour later, Winnie was completely exhausted, lying limply in the bedroom, while Linton returned to the office feeling refreshed.
Assistant Jennifer walked in with Harvey.
After Jennifer served the coffee and left, Harvey took out a golden invitation from his bag and handed it to Linton. The top right corner of the invitation was printed with the Kabbalah Tree of Life pattern.
"Kabbalah again. What's with these jewish people? They keep sending me invitations, but I'm not interested at all. This is the third time, right? Just like before, decline it for me."
Harvey quickly explained, "Boss, this time is different. It's the most critical moment for your pursuit of the oscar best actor. If you completely offend them now, I'm afraid your oscar best actor win will be at risk, and the awards for the entire Titanic crew could be affected."
"Oh? Are they that powerful? Can they completely control the Oscars?"
"Yes, if they set their minds to it, they can definitely influence the Oscars."
"So, what do you suggest?"
"Boss, I suggest you accept this invitation and have a face-to-face talk with them. Even if you can't cooperate, avoid becoming enemies. Rest assured, with your current wealth and status, they wouldn't dare do anything to you. Moreover, this invitation is different from previous ones. It's the highest rank Kabbalah invitation, which carries a special meaning."
Linton became a bit interested. "Oh? Invitations have ranks? Tell me, what's the special meaning?"
"Boss, as you know, the Hollywood Kabbalah Cult is a jewish people's organization. It has played an immeasurable role in the jewish people's control of Hollywood. Its fundamental purpose is to protect jewish people's interests and help them completely dominate Hollywood."
"Exactly. Knowing that Kabbalah is a completely jewish organization is why I'm not interested."
"Don't be in a hurry, Boss. Let me explain their method of operation in detail."
...
In fact, the two Harvey brothers had joined the Hollywood Kabbalah Cult as early as the late 1980s and had a very clear understanding of it.
Since the 1970s, jewish capital began to slowly penetrate Hollywood. In this process, to better control Hollywood, they established the Kabbalah cult.
The entire organization is divided into 3 levels. The top level is the Council of Elders, currently consisting of 13 people.
Membership in the Council of Elders is not for life. Instead, it is composed of the highest-ranking jewish individuals from 13 units: the Big Six Hollywood film companies, the three major talent agencies, the Los Angeles Times, Variety, the Hollywood Screen Actors Guild, and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
Originally, there were 14 members, but since Linton acquired Universal Group the year before last and ousted all the jewish executives, the number of Elders became 13.
When the leadership of these units changes, the corresponding Kabbalah Elder is automatically replaced by the new leader, ensuring Kabbalah's control over Hollywood.
For example, after Viacom Group acquired Paramount in '94, Viacom's boss Sumner Redstone naturally replaced the former Paramount representative as a Kabbalah Elder.
The entire Kabbalah organization is massive. Besides the Council of Elders, there are dozens of deacons below them, and over a thousand ordinary members below that.
But even ordinary members are jewish people with a certain status or influence in Hollywood.
The fundamental purpose of the Kabbalah cult is to protect the overall interests of jewish people, help them control Hollywood, and suppress other forces.
Beyond that, Kabbalah is also an excellent resource platform for its members. People can easily find information, projects, funding, and other forms of help here.
Therefore, Kabbalah is extremely attractive to all jewish people in Hollywood.
Generally speaking, even for jewish people, joining Kabbalah is very difficult. It requires multiple evaluations, including wealth, status, and connections. After reaching the entry threshold, one must also pass a special assessment ceremony.
According to Harvey, the assessment task given to the two brothers when they joined Kabbalah was to organize a massive orgy with no fewer than 100 young models to serve the members of the Kabbalah cult.
That orgy lasted for three days and nights and was highly praised by all the cult members who attended. Thus, the two Harvey brothers successfully joined.
Later, Harvey even rose to the position of deacon. However, after Miramax was acquired by Linton, he became Linton's servant, serving him wholeheartedly, and participated less in Kabbalah's activities.
...
Although Kabbalah is a purely jewish organization that suppresses other forces, they don't immediately suppress exceptionally talented young people of other races in Hollywood.
Instead, they evaluate them first. If they are indeed valuable, they usually try to win them over first. If that fails, they then proceed to suppress them.
"For instance, Boss, I remember when your movie Step Up became a huge success and you founded Linton Film Company, you came onto Kabbalah's radar.
Later, after Speed became another massive hit, Kabbalah sent you an invitation.
After you rejected it, Kabbalah began to suppress you. Then the Hollywood Screen Actors Guild stepped in, causing an accident on the set of Step Up 2. They just didn't expect your sharp counterattack, which ended up costing them a lot of money.
Then CAA took action, subjecting The Rock project to various unreasonable interferences, suppression, and smear campaigns. Even during its release, they teamed up with Warner and 20th Century Fox to sabotage the box office.
This included the sabotage during the release of Happy Death Day. On the surface, it looked like CAA's revenge, but Kabbalah was actually behind it; otherwise, so many giants wouldn't have participated.
Unfortunately, they all underestimated your strength. These sabotages not only failed to defeat you but also caused them heavy losses.
Through these confrontations, your strength earned their respect. So, in early '94, they sent you a second invitation. It was actually a high-level invitation. If you had joined then, you would have received very high treatment. Unfortunately, you rejected it again."
"Wait, isn't Kabbalah a organization composed purely of jewish people? I'm not jewish, so how could I join?"
"Boss, you don't fully understand jewish people yet. Bloodline isn't their only measure. Actually, the jewish standard is faith. For people of other races, if they can be made to believe in Judaism and the God Jehovah, they can gain jewish recognition. If they further marry a jewish person and start a family, all jewish people will consider them a 'new jewish person' and one of their own."
"What? They want me to believe in Judaism and marry a jewish person? They really think too highly of themselves. That's just wishful thinking."
"Yes, with your current strength, Boss, you naturally don't need to wrong yourself. But they have controlled Hollywood for a long time and are used to being high and mighty. At the time, they didn't know your true strength, so they naturally couldn't tolerate your existence affecting their control of Hollywood.
So later, when The Man from Nowhere was released, almost all of Hollywood stood against you. From arranging other movies to surround and sabotage yours, to theater scheduling, to critics turning against you and smearing you, to various media outlets attacking and mocking the film — it was an all-out siege."
"I remember. At that time, except for Universal and Linton Film Company, it seemed everyone in Hollywood was against me. Not only that, other influential media outlets across the United States joined in."
"Yes, that was Kabbalah going all out. But in the end, they still failed. The Man from Nowhere eventually fought its way out, achieving an incredible 329 million at the North American box office and over 678 million globally. Instead, the movies involved in the sabotage were crushed and suffered heavy losses.
From then on, the Kabbalah cult began to recognize your strength. Although unwilling, they had to coexist peacefully with you and didn't dare to start a war with you easily anymore."
"Since we're coexisting peacefully, what does it mean that they're sending me an invitation now? Do they think their strength has increased and want to go to war with me again?"
"No, no, no, Boss. With your current strength, I believe Kabbalah isn't that stupid. Moreover, this time they sent you the highest-level golden invitation."
"A golden invitation? Is there a difference?"
"The golden invitation is the highest invitation issued by the Kabbalah cult. It represents the unanimous opinion of the Council of Elders. To issue a golden invitation, every single member of the Council of Elders must agree."
"You mean Kabbalah wants to use my desire for the oscar best actor to threaten me again? If I don't accept this invitation, they will go all out to sabotage my oscar best actor win?"
"That should be it. And it's not just your oscar best actor award; Kate's oscar best actress winner, James's Best Director, and Titanic's Best Picture might all be completely out of reach."
