I’m in Hollywood Chapter 854: Do you want to know what is different

Remember [lnmao.org] in one second, fast update, no pop-up window, free to read!

Cindy lamented a little bit: "A few 10 billion USD, I think for these 10 billion USD, they will definitely beat the lawsuit hard, I saw in the article yesterday, Sony was originally for video recorders and Disney and Universal have played lawsuits for ten years. "

Eric laughed: "You must have seen the kind of newspaper that likes to make alarmist comments. They did not mention the most important point. The Sony video recorder case has formed a very favorable result for Fireflyer in the case law. What's more, if Fireflyer becomes popular, it will provide a large amount of taxation and employment for the federal government every year. Do you think the federal court may suppress its potential large taxpayers for Japanese? "

Local protectionism exists in any country and region.

If the core patents of traditional portable music players are in the hands of United States local companies, involving the huge interests of several 10 billion USD, Firefly Electronics may still encounter some troubles, but these patents are precisely in the hands of Japanese, even United States Local traditional player manufacturers pay large patent licensing fees to Japanese companies every year.

In this case, the San Francisco Federal Court is willing to be a ghost for Japanese.

Chris mentioned in recent calls from San Francisco that the San Francisco Federal Court is likely to directly dismiss the lawsuit of Sony and the other two major Record Company, and will not file a case at all.

Cindy slightly tilted his head to listen quietly, and at the end he asked with interest: "What is the case law?"

"You will not be interested," Eric shook his head and looked at Cindy with a smile on his mouth: "I'm quite curious, you suddenly asked what these do?"

"Actually, this is the case," Cindy did not show the embarrassment of being peeped through Eric. The expression still said seriously: "Did you not suggest me invest in technology stocks last year? So I will pay more attention to this information. "

Eric probably understood it and laughed: "Have you really bought it?"

Cindy stretched out two white and slender fingers and shook: "20 million USD, I bought all four stocks that you mentioned last year and me."

Eric really can't remember these details, and asked: "Which four stocks?"

"That's AOL, Microsoft, Cisco, Intel," Cindy said, suddenly widening his eyes: "oh God, you forgot, that's most of my savings."

Eric quickly made a depression gesture: "Do n’t be so fussed, and you must have earned it, right?"

Cindy also realized that he was overreacting. Due to the identity of the two, there were already frequent guests looking at this place. At this time, a lot of eyes were coming to look at it brightly.

Take a sip of red wine in disguise, and Cindy lowered his voice with excitement: "Yeah, it ’s crazy. All these stocks have more than doubled in a year. Now the value of the stock in my hand It's close to 50 million USD. I never thought I would have so much money before. "

Eric actually feels the same way. The Clover Fund has been continuously investing money in the NASDAQ market. The current book income is even more amazing than the small plate in the hands of Cindy.

"Then what?" Eric asked with a smile, he knew that Cindy would definitely not mention these in vain.

Cindy no longer goes round the circle, slowly cutting the cod on the plate, saying: "Recently my stock manager suggested that I clear all stocks as soon as possible, but I am not sure, so I would like to ask your opinion first. "

Eric wondered: "Does the other party have any reason to explain? I mean, why suddenly advise you to clear the warehouse."

"Well," Cindy nodded and said: "He said that the next possible economic crisis of Southeast Asia will affect North America and cause the collapse of the Nasdaq market."

The Nasdaq index is now close to 1500 points, almost doubled from three years ago.

Therefore, the Nasdaq bearish voice has long appeared in the investment market. In this world, perhaps only Eric alone is 100% sure that the Nasdaq index is far from reaching its limit.

However, if Cindy's stock manager persuades her to sell the stock on the ground of the Nasdaq, Eric will not feel any surprises. Stock manager encourages customers to frequently buy and sell stocks to earn more commissions is very common Behavior, but the other party just used the reason why the Southeast Asia economic crisis may impact North America.

Thinking about it, Eric said: "Cindy, I do n’t know what your stock manager is. But if it ’s me, I will definitely do the same now."

Cindy blinked and asked the same question as Eric just now: "Then what?"

Eric took a sip of red wine before saying: "No one can be sure that the Southeast Asia economy will really be in crisis. Therefore, once this prediction comes true, I must have become a kind of visionary in your eyes. Stock manager, you will trust me more in the future. In this case, if the North America stock market is not affected, but continue to sing forward, as long as I give a reasonable reason, you will definitely continue to listen to my opinion and buy again , This time, two commissions will be available. "

Cindy obviously could n’t keep up with Eric ’s thoughts, and her thoughts turned a big circle. After Eric finished cleaning the last bit of food on her plate, she figured out something a little, saying: “You mean, that guy Did you deliberately lie to me? "

Eric shrugged: "It's just this possibility, and I don't know your stock manager, maybe he is really thinking for customers, who may know."

"But," the cutlery in Cindy's hands drew twice in a fine porcelain dish and said: "You just seemed to say, um, the Southeast Asia economic crisis will happen, but it will not affect the North America stock market, is it? But this seems unreasonable. Although I do n’t know much about these things, I also think that it should have an impact. "

Eric said: "Of course it will have an impact, but the impact is exactly the opposite of the situation described by your stock manager. Put it this way, do you know what the greatest impact of the two world wars has on the global economic landscape?"

Cindy shook his head: "I don't know, I'm not interested in things like fighting."

Eric said helplessly: "Did you not go to university?"

Cindy raised a good-looking face: "Of course, although the Department of Chemical Engineering at Northwestern University has only been reading for a year, I still remember the molecular formula of water, H ... um, HO2, right?"

"Okay, the water you drink is really special," Eric did n’t know if the goblin was selling maliciously, and decided not to discuss the topic of "heavy" hydrogen dioxide. Instead, he continued: "Two The biggest impact of the Second World War on the global economy was the collapse of Europe which contributed to the rise of the Federation. Similarly, once the Southeast Asia monetary system is attacked and triggers an economic crisis, the impact is no different than a large-scale war. Southeast Asia emerging economies If it is destroyed, the original capital will definitely choose to escape. Europe Due to the general high welfare and low efficiency social system, plus Europe countries are almost never able to achieve integration, it is already difficult to form too much attraction to capital. In this case, North America will once again become the best destination for capital flight. The influx of large amounts of capital, the most intuitive performance must be the arrival of a bull market in the stock market. So, now, everything is just the beginning. "

Cindy understood this time, and nodded: "It seems that I need to change a stock manager. However, Eric, can I still buy now, and, when do you think when these stocks are sold for comparison? OK? "

"Of course, it ’s time to sell," Eric thought about it and said, "The Yahoo listing will definitely bring the Nasdaq to a high point. You will start selling it at that time. Do n’t enter after the clearance. The show is over. "

Remember that the Nasdaq stock market crashed in March 2000, but after creating a group of 'big butterflies' with its own hands, Eric determined that the Nasdaq index could no longer follow the original historical trajectory .

Yahoo will choose to go public from the end of 1998 to the beginning of 1999. As the most high-profile Internet technology company, the listing of Yahoo will definitely drive the entire market up. It will indeed be a good time to sell, Cindy The stock in hand must have appreciated several times by then, so there is no need to be too greedy.

As for the shares held by the Clover Fund, Eric has a more detailed plan, but these must not be disclosed to Cindy.

Cindy also sees that Eric has a reserved attitude. Although she would like to know when Yahoo will be listed, she also understands the reason why it is enough, and is smart enough not to continue asking.

Both people ate almost the same food. It was still early. Cindy did n’t mean to leave. They ordered coffee and continued to chat with Eric.

Although she often ca n’t keep up with Eric ’s thoughts, Cindy also understands that the information she gets freely when dealing with Eric is a hundred times stronger than those who can only talk about it. Others may be obsessed with her. Beauty, but this trick is almost useless to Eric. It will only become more and more difficult to get this man out in the future. She cherishes this opportunity very much.

A piece of sugar cube was added to the hot coffee and gently stirred. Cindy remembered something and asked, "Speaking of it, Eric, will you still be in New York early next month?"

It is already April 25th. On Friday, Eric plans to return to Eath Hampton on the weekend, and fly back directly from there to Los Angeles next week, so he shakes his head and says: "No, I will leave in two days, what's wrong?"

Cindy said with some regrets: "The Met-Ball dance party on the 5th of next month, I thought I could invite you to be a male partner."

Eric also remembered.

Met-Ball, the full name is the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art Charity Ball. This is the charity party that Anna · Wintour personally created to fight against the West Coast "Vanity Fair" party. Only the most popular celebrities superstar will be invited to participate every year. . When he attended the reception hosted by the Hearst family last weekend, the Anna · Wintour who happened to be there also asked him if he was interested.

Smile, Eric said: "Even if I have time, I certainly can't be your partner. Drew will definitely run to join in the fun."

Everyone knows the unusually intimate relationship between Eric and Drew. Cindy and Drew have contacted several times. She is absolutely afraid to compete with Drew because she always feels that there may be an instant hidden behind that baby face The crazy factor that turns everyone's face. If she had a conflict with Drew, Cindy determined that Eric could not help herself.

Thinking of this, Cindy is a bit curious: "Eric, you and Drew, um, what kind of relationship is it?"

Eric did not shy away from this question, and replied: "It's the kind of relationship you imagined, one tree and one vine, entangled and tangled, no one can't live without anyone."

I do n’t know why, Cindy feels that the picture outlined by Eric in a few simple words makes people feel a strong sense of jealousy.

"Well, wouldn't she mind you ... dating us?"

"Of course I do n’t mind, but the girl ’s outlook on life is not the same as others," Eric thought about it and replied, then looked at Cindy with a smile: "Do you want to know what ’s different?"

Cindy shook his head almost Basic Instinct: "I don't want to."

"Oh," Eric smiled and was about to say something, feeling that the phone in his pocket vibrated, pulled out and gestured towards Cindy, got up and walked into the corridor not far away, and answered the phone.

The call was made by Katzenberg personally from Los Angeles. The two talked for about ten minutes. Eric returned to his seat, looked at his watch, and said to Cindy: "We may have to leave early."

Cindy automatically forgot the topic she just regretted and asked with concern: "What happened?"

The Eric called the waitress and handed over the credit card, and said to Cindy: "It's no big deal. It's not Friday today. The total Box Office data of global in the 18th week of" Titanic "came out. Los Angeles just passed the information. , I want to go back and take a look. "

"Wow, it ’s the 18th week," Cindy immediately became interested, saying: "I remember last week it seemed like, um, 1.7 billion 75 million USD, this is simply a miracle, how much is it now?"

“ 1.8 billion 5 2 million 。”

Eric reported a number, and the mood is not so calm, because this number means that "Titanic" has successfully broken the Box Office record of the first round of previous life screening 1.8 billion 40 million USD, and continues to sprint towards the new record 2billion USD.

Katzenberg just said on the phone that according to the current Box Office curve of "Titanic", there is no suspense for global total Box Office sprint 2billion USD. The only thing that is uncertain is where the ultimate potential is.

One month ago, when "Titanic" global Box Office broke through 1.5 billion USD, the company ’s top management proposed to hold a grand celebration feast, but was rejected by Eric, he hopes to be able to do it after global Box Office breakthrough 1.8 billion USD this more special goal celebrate.

On the phone just now, Eric and Katzenberg have agreed to hold a grand celebration party in the preliminary Titanic model built by Firefly Studios next Wednesday, and will also officially announce the Titanic theme exhibition project. (To be continued.)
