Eric said: "According to my recent concern, after the second round of harvesting of Southeast Asia in the first half of the year, the major hedge funds have shifted their targets to the ruble. Once the ruble is lost, outside Southeast Asia, Russia is the last An emerging economy in recent years will also be destroyed, the Europe economy will be stagnant, USD has started a rate hike cycle, the Nasdaq market is booming, where will the trillions of capital withdrawn from Southeast Asia countries flow, There seems to be no suspense. In my opinion, the Nasdaq 2000 is just the beginning. "
As Morgan Stanley's Chairman, John? Mark also has a very deep insight into the world economic situation, and he also understands why Eric mentioned the ruble at this time.
Although they are also very optimistic about the future of technology stocks, at this time, John · Mark still refuted: "Eric, this is just your point of view, many people just think that the Russia economy is recovering and is a very good investment target. As far as I know, Mr. Soy Ross invested a large part of Southeast Asia's earnings in the Russia stock and bond market. The technology stock market earnings ratio of the Nasdaq market has generally reached an unbearable level. More bullish than any previous bull market, we now buy AOL stocks, but take great risks. "
When Eric met Suo Ross last year, just knows invested heavily in Russia. He also discussed this matter with Suo Ross.
However, Eric did not intend to convince John? Mark, just said: "John, this is my attitude. I do not intend to make any concessions on the AOL stock transfer price, you only have one month, Months later, Firefly Investment will initiate an open shareholding reduction process. I believe the next month ’s share price of AOL will rise to a higher level, and perhaps the market value will break through 50billion USD. Although AOL ’s price-earnings ratio is indeed high, his revenue The growth rate is very good. For many investors, this company is still a valuable investment target. I am not worried that no one will buy stocks sold by Firefly. "
“However, Eric, it ’s not good for everyone to do this. The shareholding of the Firefly investment is too large. Even if you reduce your holdings by 1% each month, it will take three years. Only if we have enough strength will The stock in your hand comes next. "
The Internet bubble will be able to support for less than two years at most. Eric never thought that it would reduce AOL stocks cleanly, and did not intend to really sell it to the secondary market a little bit.
He now compares with other shareholders of AOL who is the first to resist concessions.
If the share price of AOL starts to fall, it is naturally impossible for other shareholders to easily agree to the request of Eric, but now the situation is that the share price is rising all the way. The higher the share price rises, in order to keep the profits already gained
Benefits, the more likely other shareholders will be unable to control it first.
John · Mark discussed again with Eric for more than half an hour. Seeing Eric was firm and had to leave in disappointment.
Send away John · Mark, Eric and the twins greeted each other, and went upstairs alone, planning to take a bath first.
In my heart, I am a family lover. In a familiar environment, Eric naturally relaxes a lot. I lie in the large bathtub in the bathroom of the shell villa and unconsciously soaked it for a long time, even a little drowsy.
The bathroom door was suddenly pushed open, and the girl wearing a light blue T-shirt and white slacks burst into it with a smile, plopped into the big bathtub without taking off her clothes, and wrapped around the Eric for a while with a grunting kiss.
Eric let the girl indulgently for a while, feeling that after Nizi kissed it, she nibbled up like a small animal on his neck. Then she reached out and took off some light clothes on the girl. next to.
After a while, I held a warm and slender body in my arms, and the skin was close to each other. Eric turned his side neck and smiled softly: "Okay, do n’t nibble anymore, take a circle around your neck How does the mark let me see people. "
The girl seemed to have a sudden epiphany, leaning her white neck to the mouth of Eric: "Eric, please help me bite it."
Eric ducked and said, "If you don't bite, if you become vampire, my identity will be exposed and you will be burnt to death."
"Oh," the girl laughed for a while, feeling that Eric reacted, and didn't care about being in the bathtub. She sat up regardless of her body, and then she was soft on Eric, and the kitten grunted: "Eric, I miss you so much."
Eric hugged the girl ’s waist and said, "I miss you too."
Having left New York half a month ago, Eric has never been a woman again. At this time, holding the same emotional girl, the two have been tossing for a long time, changing their clothes and going downstairs. It is already 8 o'clock in the evening. The twins have already been Ready for dinner.
Don't dine in the restaurant, the two set a small table by the terrace swimming pool and sat across from each other, accompanied by the cool breeze of Los Angeles summer night, eating while talking about what happened in recent times.
"I went to Washington last week. Seeing Mr. President vowed in court that he had nothing to do with that intern, it was a laugh, and there were several people around me who almost laughed out loud. . "
At this time, the most lively and current concern of the people is undoubtedly the zipper door. In order to win the seat of members of the United States mid-term elections in the House of Representatives, Clinton ’s political opponents seized this matter and pursued it for a while The dog jump is very lively.
It's just that, listening to the girl's gloating appearance, Eric put down the red wine in her hand, picked up the knife and fork, and couldn't help laughing: "You are really boring enough, specially went to Washington to watch the President joke . "
“I ’m not so idle, it ’s for the TV Station license, we plan to add a sub-channel to E! Entertainment.”
Eric smiles undiminished, saying: "Then you should not even go to see the President joke, be careful he wears small shoes for us."
"No, Amy said that it is the best time to apply for a photo now. President is in need of support at this time. Where else dare to offend us."
With the integration of United States Media Group, the power of Hollywood is getting stronger and stronger. If you can have a good relationship with Hollywood, no politician will do the opposite.
Eric just smiled and nodded, and stopped mentioning it, and asked instead: "How is the midnight pre-sale situation of" Charlie's Angels3 "?"
The girl knows why Eric asks this, saying: "It is estimated that it can break through 10 million USD. It is certainly no problem to surpass" The Matrix2 "." The Matrix2 "has a 53% drop this weekend. For this week," Charlie's Angels3 " "There is no threat."
Eric just came back in the afternoon, and I do n’t know the Box Office data status last weekend. However, listening to the girl said so, my heart was completely relaxed.
This week only Disney ’s family-run low-cost comedy film “The Parent Trap” was released. It can be said that it will not have any impact on “The Matrix2”, but this film still has a drop of more than 50%. Imagine facing the next 《Charlie's Angels》, the drop in "The Matrix2" will only be more ugly.
After all, it is a series derived from Firefly Group. Eric has not been too pleased. Even Katzenberg privately asked Eric whether to restrict the announcement of "The Matrix2", but was rejected by Eric.
The next day was Wednesday, perhaps because John · Mark was rejected by Eric. Some shareholders of AOL considered the impact of the large-scale public reduction of Firefly investment on the stock price, so they chose to stay ahead of schedule. Selling cash.
However, the management and its supporters headed by Steve · Kies also chose to enter the market to maintain the stock price. After a large decline in the opening of the morning, the stock price was quickly pulled up again.
After a whole day of shocks, as of the close, AOL's stock price has successfully maintained a high of 261.33USD, and the market value has remained above 43billion USD.
Wait until Thursday, although the AOL stock price continued to fluctuate throughout the day, but at the close of the day, the stock price rose very strongly again by 1.6%.
Throughout the process, although all the media is still most concerned about the response of Firefly investment, the largest shareholder, but since the Chris trio announced their resignation as director of AOL at the press conference last week, Firefly system executives have not published any public information on AOL. View.
Even if it is the media under the Firefly system, the news about AOL is basically a well-known news release.
However, there is no impenetrable wall in the world. Although most of the people who participated in the video conference last week wanted to hide the news of the Firefly investment attempt to reduce the 10% AOL share at one time, the relevant information is still inevitable Leaked out, but without official confirmation, the formal media have chosen to be cautious and did not report publicly.
As for the most free Internet platform for information dissemination, the three major Internet web portals, the first two happen to be ‘party ’s. Neither Yahoo nor AOL can allow similar news to be circulated indiscriminately, so there is no uproar.
After the contact between John · Mark and Eric failed, all parties also fell into a temporary stalemate and wait-and-see state.
Eric also gradually put aside the impact of the AOL incident and returned to Los Angeles to check the rough cut effect of "Iron Man" by Joe Weiden. Eric began to officially prepare for the start of "Gravity".
Although it has a full year from now to the end of next year, "Gravity" will involve a large number of new shoots and special effects technologies, and it will also take into account the promotion of 3D and IMAX screening forms. In a year and a half, it is not easy at all.
However, before this, the first thing Eric had to attend was the premiere of Thursday's "Charlie's Angels3" at Los Angeles.
Last year's "Casino Royale" officially opened the assembly of the Metro Goldwyn Mayer agent movie universe and was a great success. As the first part agent movie universe movie after "Casino Royale", "Charlie's Angels3" brought together the strong expectations of countless fans of the three agent series. .
Although they are the most shallow and naturally disadvantaged female action films in the three series, the popularity of the 《Charlie's Angels》 series is not weaker than that of the other two after several years of careful and comprehensive operations.
Even because Eric has designed a very perfect story background for 《Charlie's Angels》 from the beginning, through the surrounding comics and other forms, the related storyline of the three protagonists brought a series of various foreshadowings that made fans relish. Consciously condenses the attention of fans, making the core fan group of the 《Charlie's Angels》 series far more than the other two.
The actor Kevin · Costner of the "Mission: Impossible" series will also appear in this film.
After that year ’s “Dances with Wolves”, most of the works of Kevin · Costner outside the “Mission: Impossible” series ended in failure. The Box Office of “Waterworld” failed or even nearly destroyed his acting career. The most recent one replaced Mel · Gibson The "Patriot" starring is also not stunned, these make Kevin · Costner more and more aware of the importance of "Mission: Impossible" to him.
Last year Eric was in the strong posture of Pierce Brosnan's film negotiation process, and it also made Kevin · Costner's attitude towards film negotiation and participating in the special film universe cross set less powerful.
In this "Charlie's Angels3", Kevin · Costner only paid 5 million USD.
Although the other party insists that their film in this film should not exceed five minutes, it is enough to connect the three series together.
At the same time, the production budget of "Charlie's Angels3" not only reached the highest of 160 million USD of the three series so far, the scale of the film announcement is more powerful, but General Motors, it invested 100 million USD advertising budget for the joint promotion of its Buick brand and "Charlie's Angels3" The advertising budget of Metro Goldwyn Mayer itself has also reached 50 million USD. In total, the total size of the film production announcement is close to 300 million USD, even more than Titanic three years ago.
Buick is undoubtedly the most successful advertising cooperation brand of "Charlie's Angels3".
Although the 100 million USD brand joint advertising budget was invested this time and the record-breaking 30 million USD placement advertising fee for Metro Goldwyn Mayer was also paid in the early stage, as a mass car brand with global annual sales exceeding 2 million units, Buick gained But far exceeds the price paid.
Only the 《Charlie's Angels》 with Buick sports car, which was launched last year for young people with prices ranging from 3 to 50,000 USD, exceeded the 160,000 station for the whole year, and this alone increased GM's turnover by more than 6billion USD.
An article published by Business Weekly magazine shows that in recent years, the direct economic benefits brought by the 《Charlie's Angels》 series to Buick are equivalent to 12 times the profits brought by the film to Metro Goldwyn Mayer. Potential brand value-added effects are even more limitless.
In recent years, Europe and several major car manufacturers in Asia have tried to compete for this brand implantation opportunity, and the price is not lower than Buick. However, Metro Goldwyn Mayer chose to reject it because of various considerations.
The Los Angeles premiere of "Charlie's Angels3" begins at five o'clock in the afternoon, but since the day before, a large number of fans have gathered near the China Grand Theater.
By Thursday afternoon, the hundreds of meters of streets near the theater were already crowded with enthusiasm, and Eric was taken aback when she took the girl off at the entrance of red carpet.
