The two chatted for another moment, listening to Larry · Ellison's tongue and tongue depicting the bright future after the acquisition of Apple. Eric suddenly thought of another thing, saying: "Larry, there seems to be a very important problem here , You want to hand over to Steve after buying Apple, but did he agree? "
Larry · Ellison froze for a moment, wondering: "Of course Steve will agree, why would he disagree?"
Eric shrugged: "As a friend of Steve, you must know his character better than me. I happen to know what happened to his house in Woodside. I think maybe Steve prefers to see Apple like that. The house is like a cloud of smoke. "
The anecdote about Jobs's house in Woodside, San Francisco, was accidentally heard by Eric, and this incident also reflects the paranoid and indifferent aspect of Jobs's character.
After relying on the creation of Apple Inc. to become a billionaire, Jobs bought a mansion in Woodside. He was not satisfied with the style of the villa in the mansion and wanted to demolish and rebuild. However, because the building was built in 19 The villa at the end of the century was recognized by Woodside City Hall as having a high historical value, and the Jobs demolition and reconstruction application was not approved. Therefore, Jobs took a very extreme approach. He opened all the doors and windows of the house and completely let it withstand the sun and rain all year round without any maintenance. After a few years, the dilapidated villa was considered to be a long time. Disrepair, Jobs was able to do so.
Larry · Ellison apparently knew this too, he immediately shook his head and said: "Eric, this is completely different. I understand Steve, no one cares more about Apple than him, as long as I buy this company, he will definitely come back Of. "
"Okay," Eric said: "If you can get the exact answer from Jobs, maybe I can consider a sum of money."
If Firefly does not have a strong enough competitor at all, it is almost inevitable to have a slack mood, or, if it is to raise a dog to bite a rabbit, Eric is also looking forward to when Firefly electronics takes the lead. Jobs can continue to toss out some things that change the world.
Despite the promise of Eric, Larry · Ellison is still a bit impatient, and asked: "Eric, how much can you pay?"
The funds invested by Firefly Group and Firefly are actually planned for use. Eric remembered the 300 million USD invested in the Southeast Asia foreign exchange market and said: "There is such a sum of money. I plan to buy a Boeing 777 in the near future. The remaining part. "
Larry · Ellison is obviously very familiar with private jets and quickly said: "Eric, you seem to have made a mistake. If you place an order now, you only need to pay a deposit and wait until two or three years after the plane is delivered You only need to pay the full amount, so you should have at least 300 million USD now, right? "
Eric has forgotten this point. Private jets are different from luxury cars and can be picked up at any time. Large Boeing jets take several years from order placement to delivery.
"In this case," Eric sorted out these and continued: "Perhaps, there should be 600 million USD by then."
"Wow!"
Larry · Ellison sighed, and looked at Eric with the eyes of the local tyrants who had not used it for many years.
Although he is an 10 billion, in fact, the funds that he can freely control are mostly only tens of millions of USD. Larry · Ellison originally thought that this year's "Forbes" rich list was too overestimated for Eric's net worth, but at this time, he could not help but dispel the original doubts. Perhaps, in this world, only the guy of Eric can casually come up with 600 million USD cash.
Eric quickly poured a glass of cold water on Larry · Ellison and said: "However, Larry, I certainly will not invest all of this money on Apple Inc.."
Larry · Ellison nodded immediately. His original idea was just to use Eric's excellent investment vision in the IT field as a gimmick, as long as he can pull a sum of money from him symbolically, under the banner of Eric and then from Raising funds from other investment companies will be much smoother. Pulling 600 million USD at a time, Larry · Ellison would not expect such a good thing at all.
"So, Eric, as long as you are willing to take out 300 million USD, I promise to raise all the funds within three months." Larry · Ellison originally hoped that 50 million USD, if there are fewer, the influence of Eric will not be exerted . But at this time, the amount is naturally increased, and the greater the proportion of funds invested by Eric, the higher the probability that other investment companies will follow up.
Since he decided to participate in this matter, Eric naturally was reluctant to be an insignificant minority shareholder. The current market value of Apple is 2billion USD. If you initiate a wholly-owned acquisition, you must pay a certain premium, but 300 million USD can guarantee that Eric's shareholding ratio is above 10%.
"Well, just 300 million USD," nodded, and Eric added: "Also, do n’t forget the premise I just said, if Jobs is not willing to return, this thing is consider as finished."
"Of course," Larry · Ellison grinned and raised a toast to Eric, said: "So, wish us all the best in advance."
Eric also smiled and touched the cup with Larry · Ellison, watching the other person drink his head up, but just took a sip in coordination.
Put down the empty glass, Larry · Ellison will no longer continue to talk about Apple, and instead: "Eric, do you want to go to the casino to play a few?"
Eric pointed at the two girls on the dance floor and said, "This time it will be consider as finished."
Larry · Ellison glanced at the two girls and said: "It's okay, take them with me, I guess no one will block you, the world's richest man, from the door."
Noting the gesture of Eric, Miranda and Christina thought that Eric summoned them again, immediately gave up dancing and walked over, and the female partner of Larry · Ellison just appeared next to him.
Eric hugged Christina's waist, half jokingly said: "Actually, Larry, I am a person who is afraid of losing, so I will avoid places like casinos as much as possible."
"Haha, okay, since that's the case, Anuk and I will go to play first," Larry · Ellison made another phone gesture, grabbed the female companion, and said, "What is the matter, call anytime Give me. "
The two sides have long been in contact with each other, and Eric nodded with a smile. Watching Larry · Ellison leave, Eric looked away, saw Miranda sitting on the high stool next to the bar, and skillfully gestured for a cocktail from the bartender. The other side just glanced at her, glanced at Eric, and said nothing. , Quietly quickly adjusted a glass of wine and delivered it.
When Miranda saw Eric staring at herself, she took a sip from the cup and sucked her mouth. Then she pushed the cup over and said with a smile: "Eric, in fact, I'll help you order Yes. "
Eric ignored Miranda's excuse, and Nizi's face was red all over, apparently she had more than one drink. Looking up at my watch, it was already ten o'clock when the magic show ended, and I chatted with Larry · Ellison for so long, the time was close to eleven o'clock.
"It's eleven o'clock immediately. Are you tired? Would you like to go back to rest?"
Christina does not matter, Miranda said: "Eric, I want to go to the casino to see it." The girl obviously also heard the conversation between Eric and Larry · Ellison, and added: "We just look at it and do n’t gamble. , Okay? "
Eric shook his head directly, with a firm attitude: "Not good at all."
Miranda grunted, and soon her eyes lit up again, thieves came together, shaking the arm of Eric: "Eric, let's go to the late night show, OK, I just heard them talking about it."
"What late-night show?" Eric asked subconsciously, but soon understood it, and tapped on Miranda's head with a smile: "Is that something you can watch?"
Miranda shook her head quickly: "No, no, I heard them say it was a stage play, it seemed to be called, called ..."
Miranda tilted her head for a while and forgot some words. On the other side, Christina received: "" Helen’s-Face "is the story of Helen in the battle of Troy."
Eric has never heard of such a stage play. I thought it might be exclusive to Caesars Palace. After all, this hotel is characterized by ancient Greek and Roman style. Seeing that both girls were curious and looking forward, Eric no longer refused and called a private butler in his suite.
In less than five minutes, the apartment ’s private butler appeared in person, took the Eric trio out of party, and rushed to another more luxuriously decorated small theater in Caesars Palace.
The performance happened to start at eleven o'clock, arranged a box for the Eric three, and delivered snacks and drinks. The private housekeeper, about 40 years old, left quietly.
However, Eric just sat down on the sofa in the box, and just glanced at the stage with a lighted glass, and suddenly realized that this is obviously a kind of performance, and that it is definitely more than ordinary. Strip clubs are much bigger.
The lights in the theater quickly dimmed.
After the simple report, the music sounded. When a group of gorgeous girls with only **** on the body appeared on the stage, Miranda and Christina who were still looking forward to the "stage play" performance exclaimed. stand up.
Looking at the scene of paper drunken fans on the stage, Eric also suddenly remembered a movie in memory. The Dutch Director Paul van Hoven was rated "Showgirls" at the NC-17 level, but that movie The glamorous stage performances in China are obviously still not comparable to the more extravagant performances of Caesars Palace.
It seems that the original "Showgirls" in time and space was 1995 shoots, but now it is 1997, Eric has not heard the news of this film again. It seems that it is a side effect of the butterfly effect, but The film that almost directly led to the bankruptcy of Carlock Film Industry did not really need to exist.
Laughing and reaching out to cover Miranda ’s eyes, Eric said: "Okay, are you satisfied now?"
The exclaimations of the two girls may have been just because of the shyness of the female Basic Instinct. After all, if there was no reaction on this occasion, it would certainly not be ‘sophisticated’.
Putting Eric's hand away, Miranda looked at the performance on the stage curiously. This is a court scene. The story is indeed based on the story of the battle of Troy in Greek mythology, but the performance is exposed on the stage. It is clear that no one can let anyone concentrate on the plot.
After watching it quietly for a while, Miranda finally posted a sticker on the side of Eric, his eyes still looking at the stage, and sighed: "Why, how can there be so many girls willing to perform this kind of thing, too, too ... "
It's too twice, but Miranda still hasn't figured out any suitable adjectives.
Eric pinched on the girl ’s face and said, "Do you think everyone is like you, living like a princess?"
"Oh, I am not a princess" Miranda laughed quickly again, getting tired of Eric, and said: "Eric, can I be your Helen?"
Eric nodded with a smile: "Of course, but Helen beside me is more than one Oh."
"Really, it's so annoying," Miranda pouted again, and said, "Aren't you going to coax the girl?"
"I'm good at coaxing with actual actions."
"Oh," Miranda dragged a small voice, reached out with a grin, grabbed somewhere on the body of Eric, and suddenly laughed out again: "Oh, I'm sure one thing now."
Eric lifted Miranda's hand away and smiled: "No trouble."
