Eric heard Chris and laughed: "I only care about when he can make Hotmail's online email service?"
"It takes at least half a year," Chris said, seeming to remember something, and operated a mouse to open a program on the laptop in front of him, saying: "Eric, maybe you should look at this, this is Microsoft on 3.1 Launched email client ail. "
Eric took a brief look, and soon realized that the mail client in this Microsoft application should be the famous k predecessor, and the original time and space k was after Microsoft acquired the Hotmail online mailbox service. An office product launched by integrating with its own email client.
However, this ail is also just a peer-to-peer LAN mailbox client, which can only be used on a fixed computer, and there is no online mailbox function: "Relax, Chris, this application does not pose a threat to us , Our Hotmail is aimed at all network users, and this application of Microsoft is more limited to business offices, and ordinary people basically do not need it. "
Chris also knows that Eric is telling the truth, so I just mentioned it casually.
The reason why Eric is so reassuring is mainly because all the software giants are not aware of the huge development prospects of the Internet at present, so Firefly has enough time for layout. As for Microsoft. Although the launch of Windows3.1 has received a good response, the current operating system of Microsoft has not yet reached the mainstream status, and Windows 95, which makes Microsoft move to the dominant position of the operating system, will not be released until three years later.
The two unknowingly chatted all afternoon in the study. The women did not bother to come and disturb, until the two found out that the sky outside had darkened, Chris did not intend to leave.
When I was going to leave, Chris stopped suddenly and said, "Eric, there is another thing I almost forgot to say. After making a series of investments. The company still owns about 1billion USD in cash. These funds are placed in The money fund can only generate 6% of income every year. Personally, I still hope that the company can make a larger investment. "
"In my opinion, the money is not too much," Eric said after listening to Chris: "1 billion USD only. If diversified investments are made, we often cannot get enough say, so we might as well not do it. And, I haven't found any big projects worth selling yet. "
Chris smiled and said: "Not many, the entire United States, there will not be too many companies whose liquidity exceeds 1 billion USD."
Eric nodded, but remembered the Apple of previous life, he remembered to see it in an article. Apple's cash flow was once as high as more than 200 billion USD, even exceeding the market value of Disney's, and. Jobs has been implementing a non-debt business model in Apple Inc. since taking power for the second time. As a listed company, although it has debt interest that can offset various benefits such as income tax, Apple has been zero debt for 20 years.
It is Jobs's extremely stubborn business model that makes Apple's business strategy extremely flexible without the constraints of shareholders and creditors. , Apple wants to do k. So I did it, I wanted to do IPOd, so I did it, I wanted to do it, so I did it, and at the same time, it achieved the dominant position of global market value first 20 years after Apple.
Eric knows that it does n’t have much talent for running a company. However, as a person who has traveled through the cottage kingdom and is lucky to have a previous life memory bank, then Eric is confident to imitate the road of others, and it ’s certainly no problem. of. If Firefly Pictures is listed or a large number of bonds are issued, although it can bring sufficient benefits to the company, it also makes the company's business strategy have to succumb to investors. However, Eric knows that many decisions he made according to his memory will definitely make it difficult for many people to understand. If he can't control the company's absolute control, then many strategies will be implemented, and it will be difficult. Maybe after a bit of rash with investors, Many opportunities have disappeared.
"Relax, Chris, I have a sense of balance, but I remember I told you that if you have a promising project, you can also invest. You are not my steward, but Firefly investment company. CEO. "
Chris shrugged and smiled: "As long as you know what you have in mind, to be honest, since the original Cisco, I think that your investment vision is definitely much stronger than mine, Papa also said so. We invest The money of Cisco will be at least doubled again this year. "
Eric can see the doubts in the eyes of Chris. He is just a high school graduate. Chris is definitely full of questions about how he chose Cisco and how to make movies. But these things, Eric is destined to be impossible for Chris. frank.
The door of the study was knocked a few times. After receiving the response, the Virginia probe came in and asked, "Eric, it is now six o'clock. Let me ask you what you eat at night?"
"No need, Miss Madsen, Emily and I will leave immediately. We have another appointment to attend at night," Chris quickly shook his head.
Eric kept a few words, but Chris really had something, so he did n’t insist.
After the meal, Eric took the initiative to tell the two women about the chat with Chris in the afternoon. After listening to Eric, Virginia and Joanna glanced at each other before Virginia said: "Eric, you are already in New York has stayed for several days, there must be a lot of things to do over Los Angeles, you should go back tomorrow. "
Eric did not refuse, but said: "Then you guys, come back to Los Angeles with me, you are alone in New York, I am not at ease."
Virginia smiled and said: "We are not kids, anyway, and there are servants, as long as you call us often."
"I really don't understand. Why don't you want to return to Los Angeles with me," Eric shook his head again.
Virginia glanced at Eric and said, "You know it."
Eric immediately raised his hands: "Okay. I surrender."
"Oh," Joanna and Virginia laughed together. The reason why they did n’t want to go back to Los Angeles with Eric, the reason is actually very simple, because there are too many women with Eric in Los Angeles, the two of them are pregnant together, if they return to Los Angeles . There will definitely be unnecessary trouble, and women want to be at peace with each other. The safest way is to keep a certain distance.
The next day, Eric explained a lot of things to the two women, and then boarded the flight to Los Angeles, from July to the present. He has been away from Los Angeles for three months, Eric can almost imagine the mountains of things waiting for his scene.
Several hours later, the plane landed at Los Angeles airport, Eric walked out of the airport lobby, and the petite figure wearing pink hooded jacket flew over, as usual.
"Okay, Drew, I'll be rude again," Eric smiled and dragged small girl off his body. Let the girl walk towards car with her arms.
"People miss you, originally I wanted to go to Hawaii, who knows you went to France again. Finally went to New York, hum, do you forget me soon?"
Eric got into the car with Drew and reached out to pinch the baby face of the girl intimately: "How can I hear such a sour taste?"
Drew reached out and slapped Eric with his face, and slapped diagonally over a small look, a look you gave yourself.
"You all know. What else should I say?" Eric couldn't help but reached out with a smile.
"Nasty," Drew raised his hand again. But he brought the Eric master over and put it in front of himself: "So, are they really pregnant, or are they pregnant together?"
Eric nodded: "I'm afraid this is the case."
"So what are you going to do?" Drew asked nervously.
"Of course it was born, and then raised them, you can't let me be an irresponsible man?"
Drew gave Eric a glance, for example, then stretched out two little fingers: "But, that is two, two at a time."
"This doesn't seem to be a serious problem, I can't afford it?" Eric wondered.
Drew didn't know what to say, and a dull expression appeared on his face.
Eric soothed and patted the girl ’s head: "Do n’t get mad, you have two younger brothers and sisters, are n’t you good?"
Drew heard this sentence, slightly stunned, and then smiled with a face, hummed with his chest: "Brother and sister, hum, Eric, you are so evil."
Eric just subconsciously regarded Drew as a child. The two spent a few years with each other. Eric never felt that Drew had grown up, so they just blurted out the words just now, looking at the appearance of small girl at this time, Eric realized The ambiguity in the words just corrected quickly: "Well, not the younger brother and sister, but the little nephew or little niece, you have to be an aunt."
"Well, I just heard that, do n’t you think it ’s too late to say this again?"
"Then don't say this, what about your two little classmates?" Eric said with a smile.
Drew was dissatisfied and said: "You are all they are my juniors and not my daughters. I don't need to take them with me all the time."
Eric felt that the girl was absolutely drinking a bottle of old vinegar and a dozen gunshots today. She was full of anger and realized that she was useless. Eric simply leaned on the back of the chair and closed her eyes.
There was a moment of silence in the carriage, passing buildings across the window, and soon came to the coastal highway leading to Malibu.
After a while, a soft little body leaned over, lying in the arms of Eric, whispering like a cat: "Eric, I miss you."
Eric gently hugged the girl: "I know, I miss you too."
"Really?"
"Why don't you ask it yourself," Eric pulled a little hand over the girl and pressed it to her heart.
After not returning for three months, I walked into the villa of Cliff Peak Manor again. Eric even felt a faint feeling of being out of the world. Under the care of small girl, the villa remained the same as when I left.
Drew instructed the driver to move Eric ’s luggage in, and then drove them out.
"Eric, let's go to rest first, I will help you pack your luggage, and call you at dinner," Drew helped Eric to check the luggage and said.
"Okay, there is a gift I brought back from France, you pick one."
"Hum, it's all mine," Drew has seen a pile of gift boxes in the suitcase, shouting a little bit.
Eric smiled, did not answer, and walked to the bedroom alone.
When I woke up, it was more than 8 o'clock in the evening. Eric went downstairs and saw the busy figure in the kitchen, and walked over.
"I haven't learned it for a long time, so I have to call someone to send it out," Drew, who is operating a microwave oven, explained the embarrassment of the Eric's nose.
When Eric came in, he smelled a burnt smell. I did n’t know what the girl burned. After hearing this explanation, I stepped forward and said: "Or let me come, what is this?"
"Pizza, we can only eat this at night." Drew is a little embarrassed.
"Pizza will do, is there any juice?"
"There is orange juice, I just squeezed it," Drew pointed to the juicer.
The two of them were simply busy, and quickly sat down in the living room.
Eric was eating dinner, silently listening to the girl blah blah reporting the current situation of Los Angeles.
"" Ace Ventura "has been rough cut, but Liz is not satisfied with the announcement plan given by Firefly. Last time I ran to quarrel with Michael Lynn," the girl was like a renegade traitor.
Eric smiled and said, "How do I think you must have encouraged it?"
"No," the girl immediately retorted, but obviously not confident enough: "Okay, I did say a few words, but it was definitely Liz who went to fight with Michael Lynn."
"Michael didn't tell me this thing, it must have been resolved, what happened?" Eric asked directly.
Drew said: "The same announcement scale as" The Speed ", but" Ace Ventura "is placed in the Christmas file, and 2000 screens are opened."
Eric thought about it and nodded. The group of chicks did not make anything outrageous. The scale of the announcement has been released and the scale is very reasonable.
Based on the potential of Box Office shown in the summer season "The Mask", "Ace Ventura" is indeed worth the scale of announcement. Moreover, as a comedy movie, "Ace Ventura" is definitely more suitable for the festive Christmas period than the Thanksgiving period.
"Also, Jim Carrey finished shooting" Ace Ventura "and immediately started picking again. For the next movie, he and his manager are still dragging," Drew said again soon.
"How much did they offer this time?" Eric asked.
Drew put out a little finger, gestured, then smiled back embarrassedly: "15 million, and he refused to sign two more packaging contracts together." (To be continued) )
