"Your job is to meet my needs, so happily decided," Eric called finger click, and then waved at the two women, said: "Go rest, these things I see by myself Okay. "
Before you recognize each other, Carolyn will never show similar small emotions in front of Eric.
However, after confirming the relationship between the two, the innocent Carolyn directly regards Eric as his loved one, so it is no longer buried in the heart as in the past. It was just that he made a little bit of anger and expressed his unavoidability, but at this time when he heard Eric, Carolyn turned around, and he couldn't find a reason to refute.
Looking at the stack of folders she had just deliberately piled up in front of Eric, Carolyn suddenly felt that she was a little too much, wearing a small high-heeled toe and rubbing on the carpet, she lowered her voice to avoid the eyes of the opposite Eric, said: " Then, Eric, do you want coffee? "
Meyer was standing next to him, and when he heard Carolyn, he rolled his eyes.
Little Carrie, you have to remember that you were angry just now.
Eric could n’t help but smile. He really wanted to reach out and squeeze Carolyn ’s face. Of course he did n’t take the risk, otherwise he would be chased by Carolyn and apologize: “Well, pure water will do . "
Noticing the reactions of the two beside him, Carolyn was even more embarrassed, and escaped from the study with his small head hanging.
Eric watched Carolyn runaway and thought of something. She stopped and asked to follow Meyer who left, instructing her to sit down on the opposite sofa and asking, “I ’ll let you prepare the project information of the major Nokia R & D centers. How's it going? "
Meyer sat down on the sofa and said, "Last week, Carly and I contacted Nokia. However, Nokia currently has 17 technology R & D centers of various sizes in global. There are as many as hundreds of projects. They said that it takes a week to organize the project information, and probably will be completed this Thursday. "
Eric nodded, but with some emotion.
Nokia has not yet reached its peak state, it already has 17 technology research and development centers. It can be imagined how strong Nokia's technical strength will be in its heyday. Such an aircraft carrier-class industry giant has collapsed in just a few years. The reason is definitely not technical.
Sigh for a moment, Eric looked at Meyer and said, "Do you want to do anything in the future?"
Hearing this issue of Eric, Meyer immediately saw the figure of Melanie who just joined Firefly Electronics.
Firefly Electronics ’development focus this year is overseas business. Melanie left Eric and was directly placed at the position of Vice Chairman, the newly established overseas operation department of Firefly Electronics. .
Sometimes ago, Eric suddenly transferred himself to his side. Although Meyer has always been a bit puzzled, he can realize that the opportunities he faces are definitely not much worse than Melanie.
I twisted the corner of the professional tube skirt without any traces, but Meyer's thoughts were very clear and serious: "Eric, I have recently started to do a graduate thesis in artificial intelligence, and the subject content is related to the 'G00gle' search engine that Yahoo just launched. , I think that I will be more suitable for the technology research and development in this area in the future. "
"I originally wanted you to go to Yahoo," Eric smiled and said: "However, many businesses of Yahoo are now on the right track. Although technology research and development will never stop, the basic development route has been finalized. What Yahoo has to do in the future is to expand the scale as much as possible, and even realize global. If you go to Yahoo, there is not much room for development, so I want you to come to Nokia. "
The timing of Eric suddenly talked to her about the future plan. Meyer had already expected something. When Eric confirmed, Meyer ’s expression was hesitant: "Eric, I, I did n’t think of going to Finland. Work. "
"No," Eric shook his head. Seeing that Carolyn came in with a glass of water, he paused, and took the water glass handed over from Carolyn, indicating that she was also sitting opposite, before continuing: "You only need to Working in United States, the location is probably Silicon Valley. I hope you can gather the technical resources of several companies such as Nokia, Yahoo, Qualcomm, Firefly Electronics, and develop a smart phone, smart phone, should you know this concept? "
"Well, I was in the assistant's office this year, and I had some relevant information, but it was not very detailed."
Meyer nodded immediately, feeling a little excited, and integrating the technical strength of Firefly investment in several major technology companies to develop a product. Then the status of this product in Eric is absolutely very important. Think about the current Fireflyer player. just knows, as long as this product can succeed, its position in the Firefly system should not be much worse than that of several executives of Firefly Electronics.
"Detailed information, I will give you slowly in the future, the next thing you need to do is to fully understand Nokia. I let you collect the information about the Nokia technology research and development center project, this is what I want to see, But I also hope that you will be able to eat these things in detail in a few days, so that you can understand them. "
Meyer nodded and promised: "I will, Eric."
The things are almost the same. Eric just planned to let the two of Meyer leave, feeling the excitement of Meyer, he added: "One more thing, it is not only Nokia to develop this smartphone in my plan, Firefly Electronics will also start this project at the same time, I did not intend to put the eggs in a basket. If you do not do well in the future, you will still get nothing. Of course, if you do it well, your advantage is also very obvious, Nokia has already With a very powerful global mobile phone sales network, the products you make can more easily occupy the market. "
Meyer was disappointed when he heard the words, and then he was relieved.
It's hard to get Eric to give her a heavy responsibility. If he puts all his chips on himself, it's not normal.
After talking about the matter and sending the two women away, Eric turned his attention to the pile of documents in front of him.
The first thing to focus on is the Box Office information from last week.
The Box Office performance of "The Day After Tomorrow" is still strong. For a commercial blockbuster with a high Box Office in the first week, the Box Office drop at the next weekend remains at 42%, which is still very rare.
In the following "Zorro's Mask", although the film's media evaluation is good, Box Office only had 1more than 8 million USD in the first three days of the weekend, and it did not pose a threat to "The Day After Tomorrow" at all. Other films, "The World of Chumen" , "Patriot" and "Lethal Weapon4" are far away.
After roughly scanning the Box Office ranking list, Eric put the table aside, skipping less important documents such as the role list of "Sleepy Hollow", Eric directly opened a group's bond financing plan.
The Nasdaq index is getting closer and closer to 2000 points. In the Eric plan, the Nasdaq index reached 2000 points, and the Clover Fund will completely stop the buying operation of technology stocks.
In the past six months, the size of the funds that Clover Fund has withdrawn from Firefly Group for technology stocks has reached 2billion USD. In three years, the total investment of Clover Fund in the NASDAQ stock market has reached 7billion USD, which is 1billion USD more than the original plan of Eric.
In the past three years, 7 billion USD cash was withdrawn for stock investment. Even if Firefly Group has a big business, the profitability is far more than Hollywood. Other media groups, but at this time, with the launch of internal Marvel Cinematic Universe, the "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy Production, implementation of the '4200' plan and the construction of Firefly cinema theme park and other money-burning projects, the Group's cash flow has also begun to tighten.
Although 7billion USD was invested before and after, the total value of all the stocks held by the Clover Fund has reached 16billion USD. Compared with the invested principal, the return rate has exceeded 100%. Even if only part of the stock is sold, the cash flow of Firefly Group is hungry Can be relieved.
However, Eric did not intend to do so, but chose many companies to issue bonds when they faced the lack of cash.
At the end of May, the management had already started to draw up a financing plan, and finally it was finally finalized.
Firefly will issue 2billion USD five-year corporate bonds in early July.
The current corporate credit rating of Firefly Group has reached the highest level of 3A. Therefore, the annual interest rate of this financing bond is only 4.2%, which is a full 1.3 percentage points lower than the annual interest rate of bonds issued when Firefly acquired ABC Group. The figures seem inconspicuous, but they can save 26 million USD interest expenses for Firefly every year, and 130 million USD in five years.
Although the annual interest rate is low, Firefly Group bonds are still very popular. The documents in hand show that the Morgan Stanley responsible for this bond issuance has determined a distribution share of more than 50%.
The reason for this is that, in addition to the security and profitability of Firefly Group bonds, many investment institutions of Wall Street want to become creditors of Firefly Group, which is also a large part of the factors.
As an unlisted company, the only opportunity for Wall Street Capital to intervene in Firefly Group is to buy bonds from this company.
In this case, once the Firefly Group's operations are in trouble, the Wall Street capital as a creditor will have room to operate.
Of course, although the Film Industry business performance of Firefly Group this year will not be as dazzling as before, Eric will not easily give some people a chance.
Even if it does not count the shares held by Clover Fund, in addition to the Film Industry business, the company ’s TV business, theme parks and toy surroundings, as well as the increasingly powerful digital field, have excellent operating conditions and very stable profitability.
The two Boeing 747-400s ordered by Eric will have a communication system installed, but the current Boeing 767 does not have this configuration.
It took several hours to process the documents in front of me. Although I had some doubts, I could n’t immediately discuss with Los Angeles over the phone. I had to wait for Helsinki to speak.
Although the private jet flew from west to east, it was only a very brief night after flying towards the Arctic Circle in polar daylight, and the porthole lit up again.
The two girls Eric and Carolyn ate a 'dinner' on the plane together, rested for a few hours, and woke up again. Boeing 767 had arrived over Helsinki, Finland.
Looking through the porthole, Eric found that Helsinki ’s Vantaa Airport was very conspicuous, occupying a large area on the north side of the city. It was a bit confusing at first, but it soon became clear that it was not Vantaa Airport that was too big, but Helsinki was too small.
The area of Finland is not much different from that of California. However, the total population of California is close to 40 million, but there are fewer than 5 million people in Finland. Helsinki, as the capital of Finland, has a population of only half a million. , Overlooking the city from a close distance, it feels more open, even if it is City Center, many places are large areas of woodland.
Eric got off the plane with his entourage, and NokiaCEOJorma · Ollila greeted him warmly with a few people.
"Eric, welcome to Finland," Jorma · Ollila enthusiastically embraced with Eric, and began to introduce to him the Nokia executives who followed him in English.
Eric shook hands with several people. Among them, he is familiar with the current Nokia CFO's Olli Krasso. The other party is an authentic Finn, so the name is a little bit mouthful. Eric just remembers that the other party has a very interesting The Chinese translation is called Kang Pei Kai.
Kang Peikai is the next CEO candidate recommended by Jorma · Ollila for Eric. As for Jorma · Ollila, in the plan, the other party will still serve as the Board of Directors director of Nokia after leaving, but no longer hold the actual position in Nokia. Interested in running for President in Finland, Eric is not well understood.
In fact, if you want to keep it, Firefly can still keep Jorma · Ollila, but Eric doesn't mean that. Speeding up the replacement of Nokia management is also beneficial for Firefly to take full control of this company more quickly. Once Jorma · Ollila is allowed to continue in Liu Renxiu District, the influence of the other party in Nokia will only become stronger and stronger, and it will become more and more unfavorable for Firefly to regain the management rights of Nokia.
Of course, although they will leave office next year, the two sides are also well-organized.
Eric does not want Jorma · Ollila to continue to serve as CEO of Nokia, but it will never deny the contributions made by Jorma · Ollila to Nokia over the years. If it were not for Jorma · Ollila to discover and vigorously promote the GSM communication technology led by Nokia, this small company in a corner of Northern Europe could not develop into today's international mobile communication equipment giant.
