Once the time, Victoria's Secret once occupied more than 4% of the market share in United States, and the annual net profit reached 100 million USD. This is a miracle for a traditional rigid demand industry with low market access threshold, which is a miracle. Profit, the cost of Victoria’s Secret Annual Fashion Show costing tens of millions to build is not worth mentioning.
Emily was not impressed by the pancake painted by Eric, and he simply counted consider as finished and said: "As you said, if you want to make a sensational effect, this annual big show is estimated to invest 15 to 20,000 Around USD, this money is enough for the company to do one year of advertising in TV Station. I have just stabilized the company. If such a risky publicity plan is suddenly launched, it will definitely arouse strong opposition from other shareholders and management. "
Eric thought for a while and said, "If not, Limited will transfer the copyright of Victoria’s Secret Annual Fashion Show to Firefly. The production costs will be borne by me. You only need to help from the side. If the annual big show does not have To achieve the effect I mentioned, the losses are all borne by Firefly. If it succeeds, Limited wants to continue to produce this program, you need to pay Firefly copyright fee. "
In my memory, "Victoria’s Secret Annual Fashion Show" has an annual audience rating of about 10 million people. Although it can only be done once a year, this program will earn advertising costs, subsequent revenue from cable rights and video tapes on ABC. Issuance and other peripherals are enough for Firefly to recover all costs. Now if copyright is won, once the show is successful, then Limited will definitely not give up this annual big show that plays a huge role in promoting Victoria’s Secret. The annual copyright fee paid can make Firefly a profit.
Emily quickly thought of the key, saying: "That is to say, if the show is successful, Limited will continue to produce the annual big show in the future, you need to spend money to get Firefly consent?"
"Of course," Eric nodded and looked at Emily slightly frowned. Laughed: "Risk and opportunity always coexist. If Limited is not willing to take risks, then Firefly can't spend a lot of money and get no benefits? But you can rest assured. Firefly and Limited come to me It ’s the difference between the left and the right hand, I ’m sure I wo n’t open the lion ’s mouth. ”
Emily hesitated, but still did not immediately agree, saying: "I will hold a high-level meeting tomorrow to discuss and then give you news."
"No problem, I will be at New York recently. You can contact me at any time."
Emily is about to turn around and leave, and suddenly stops, asking: "If we choose to fund our own production, what is your specific cooperation plan?"
Eric said: "It can be operated in accordance with the cooperation of TV and film. Limited is an investor and a producer. Firefly is the distributor of TV channels and video channels. Both parties agree on a suitable profit sharing ratio."
......
The lively birthday party lasted until ten o'clock in the evening, because many people still need to work tomorrow, the guests began to leave one after another.
Eric personally arranged the family of Virginia's brother to another estate in Eath Hampton and returned to Linhai's estate. The guests had all left, and only a few servants packed the mess outside the villa.
Pushing the door into the hall of the villa, Eric saw two identical tall and slender figures also shuttled back and forth to pack the tableware into the kitchen. Virginia was still excitedly sitting on the sofa and talking to the little Kevin who finally opened the mouth In order to understand something, Joanna sat quietly next to Virginia with a book in his hand, and Eva on the single sofa was changing the TV channel while holding the remote control.
Hello to the two women, Eric looked at the busy figure of the twins and asked, "What about Drew and Xiaxia?"
Joanna looked up and said: "In the Xiaxia bedroom, Drew said to coax Xiaxia to sleep."
"You are quite relieved of Drew," Eric sat down next to Joanna with a smile. With her chin resting on her shoulder, sniffing the woman's faint fragrance, she glanced at the Russian book: "What book do you read, do you still speak Russian?"
"" Anna Karenina "." Joanna also leaned intimately on Eric and said, "When I was in school, the school had mandatory Russian lessons, and it was not difficult to learn, and it will come slowly."
Eric hummed, but remembered Joanna during school. Poland still belongs to the Soviet Union camp. It is no surprise that he was asked to learn Russian. He remembers that when the previous life went to elementary school, the fat language teacher also knew Russian. It is said that he learned when he had a good relationship with Soviet Union. But relatively speaking, the Polish language belongs to the Slavic language family. Joanna is definitely easier to learn Russian than the Orientals.
Eric sent Aiwa and twins to rest, intimately talked to the two women for a while, it was already eleven o'clock, and was planning to go to rest, only to find that they never saw the small girl figure: "You go first Let ’s go, let ’s go, do n’t fall asleep in the Xiaxia room. "
Both baby rooms are on the first floor. Eric walked into her daughter's room, only to see Drew leaning against the Hawaii crib, holding a book in her hand, and seeing the appearance of Eric, she stopped immediately.
Eric did n’t notice the short-term strangeness of Drew. Seeing her daughter seem to be awake, she walked to the bed and squatted down and was about to coax a few words, only to find a pitiful look of tears in Hawaii. The figure of Papa appeared, and immediately yelled and reached for Eric.
Eric quickly picked up her daughter and glared at small girl who had started to stick out her tongue. Thinking of the situation just now, she reached out and took out the book that Drew seemed to inadvertently hide behind her. After looking at it, she was shocked by Stephen King. The novel "Carrie".
Curiously and humorously left the book aside, Eric reached out and grabbed the girl's small ear.
"Ya Ya Ya, it hurts. Joan said that Xiaxia likes to listen to someone to read to her before going to bed. I only read it, and Xiaxia does not necessarily understand, I just read a few pages."
Eric put a little more effort on his hand and smiled: "It's almost scaring you to cry, and you don't understand. Did you read" Carrie "when you were a child of Mama?"
"Where will somebody study for me, I was taken out of her for advertising in just six months to make money, no one gave me a birthday, no one read me a fairy tale before going to bed, and there was no comfortable single room , Oooo, I ’m a child who has no pain, no love and no childhood. Ooo, I ’m so pitiful ... "
Although I know that Nizi is ninety-nine pretend, Eric let go of her hand with some pity, and looked at the girl who stopped her fake cry like a koala. Eric patted her back helplessly: "Don't read horror novels for Xiaxia in the future, it will scare her."
"Uh, uh ..."
Virginia coaxed his son to hear the movement here, leaned against the door and watched the Drew rubbing against Eric. Some funny asked: "What are you doing?"
small girl does not have any shyness to face outsiders. It still depends on Eric. Eric can only hand Hawaii to Virginia, laughing: "You coax small, I will coax big."
"Oh," Virginia took over Hawaii with a smile. There was no such scary sound in his ears. The time was already late at night. Hawaii quickly squinted when leaning on Virginia.
Eric freed his hands and patted small girl on his body: "Okay. Let me go, it's time to go to bed."
"You take me to the bedroom."
Eric's arms around the girl turned upside down and smiled: "You seem to be a lot heavier, I can't hold it."
"No, I'm less than 1 pound, I don't believe you touch it."
Virginia carefully placed Hawaii on the crib, checked the baby monitor, and then smiled and said to the two of them together: "Xiaxia is asleep, don't make trouble here."
Eric has no choice but to hug her girl. In a burst of successful laughter, he walked out.
......
Emily called Eric angrily the next afternoon, first counted the Limited Board of Directors group of "short-sighted" idiots, and then said that Limited finally chose the second plan given by Eric, Victoria’s Secret Annual Fashion Show copyright Sold to Firefly. Eric listened to Chris afterwards and said that Emily had a quarrel with Limited Board of Directors. Limited was basically robbed by Chris from shareholders such as Leslie Wexner through malicious acquisition. Although Leslie Wexner has left, many shareholders and management who originally preferred Leslie Wexner are still serving in the company at this time. These people are the mainstay of Limited. If they can ensure that they will not cause turbulence, Emily cannot kick all of them. Off.
However, Eric believes that after the Victoria’s Secret annual big show is released. As the value of the Victoria’s Secret brand increases, the status of Emily will be completely consolidated, and they will be able to completely control the company in their hands.
Since Limited has made a choice, the cooperation negotiation has not wasted too long. Three days later, Eric made a few hours on the busy schedule. The two sides signed a cooperation agreement, and Eric will then take the time to draft a The plan was handed over to the team composed of Limited and Firefly to start the preliminary preparations.
......
In terms of ABC, after signing the M & A contract, in late April, the two parties finally completed the merger process such as equity replacement, and the new Firefly Group first shareholders meeting was held on April 26.
Although Eric still holds more than CEO until the end of next year, fortunately, Eric does not need to have an in-depth understanding of ABC, you can find the suitable candidate for ABC's next CEO Robert. Iger, after all, Robert. Iger's personal ability is already in previous life After being proved, Eric personally talked with Robert. Iger several times and obtained the approval of Tom Murphy and others. This matter was confirmed within ABC.
In addition, Jeffrey, who had passed his 60th birthday last year, also intends to retire from the company's Chairman position. old man misses the hard experience of making a movie with his wife at the beginning, and plans to run the small farm in Maryland after leaving the company. At the same time, using his own equity dividend in Firefly Pictures to set up a movie fund every year to fund some young Director to complete their movie dreams. Although Eric thinks that Jeffrey will do a lot of money in doing so, Jeffrey has obviously seen money. Very lightly, Chris also expressed support for father's behavior, Eric did not say much.
The final confirmed adjustment result is that after Tom Murphy and Michael Lynn are gradually withdrawn, Katzenberg will serve as CEO of Firefly Group, responsible for the overall operation and development of the group, Robert. Iger will be responsible for Firefly Group Chairman and ABC TV Network CEO, responsible for ABC TV Network affairs, Frank Wells as Firefly Group Chairman and Disney CEO , Responsible for the affairs of the subsidiary Disney's, three people form the Firefly Group three giant model, at the same time, after the adjustment of the department, the heads of the departments of Firefly Group will also make corresponding adjustments.
Although Eric serves as Board of Directors Chairman, his main focus is still on Firefly film production. Unless Katzenberg and others make decisions that completely contradict the development trend of the film industry in the next decade, Eric does not intend to interfere with the company Daily operations.
