Manhattan, AOL Headquarters.
The equity transfer signing ceremony was over, and Steve · Kies finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After completing this equity transaction, the pressure that the Firefly system has long imposed on Steve · Kes has finally disappeared.
As long as the subsequent merger of AOL and Time Warner goes smoothly, the 7.6% equity held by Firefly investment will be compressed again. The new AOL-Time Warner Group will completely become a public holding company. Without a large shareholder with sufficient shareholding and influence, the control of the new company will be completely controlled by Board of Directors and management.
As the established Chairman and CEO of the new company in the future, there is no doubt that Steve · Case will become the head of the upcoming comprehensive media giant.
Whenever I think of this, Steve · Kes can't help but feel a little more satisfied. He believes that as long as the merger is completed and the synergy effect of one plus one is greater than two, AOL-Time Warner Group will definitely surpass Yahoo and become North America's premier Internet media giant.
Waiting for the waiters to serve champagne to everyone, Steve · Kes took a glass of wine and smiled first to the heads of several Wall Street investment funds who helped him this time.
After negotiations, the stock transaction price of this equity transfer was finally determined to be 93 USD, which was only 0.69 USD lower than the average stock price of AOL in the last week. The stock of AOL has undergone a stock split. The current total share capital is 800 million 25 million shares. The number of shares held by Clover Fund is approximately 25.57 million shares. According to the transaction price of 93 USD, the size of this transaction reached 2.3 billion 7 8 million USD.
Steve · Case originally hoped that Eric would get a discount like the previous transactions, but Eric's attitude was very firm this time, only agreed to erase an optional fraction, so that the profit scale is less than 1 %, Basically equal to no concession at all.
Recently, with the Nasdaq index surpassing 2,800 points, Wall Street has become increasingly worried about the crash of the Nasdaq. Many investment institutions are trying to sell technology stocks to cash out. If it is not optimistic about the development potential after the merger of AOL and Time Warner, Wall Street will not be shot this time.
Eric was reluctant to give in, but Steve · Kes had no choice. After an additional Board of Directors seat was promised, several investment funds of Wall Street finally agreed to take over the shares of Clover Fund.
The 《The New York Times》 interview at the end of last year, coupled with this dispute over the transaction price, the good relationship established between Steve · Kies and Eric from the investment of AOL in the Firefly system has also completely disappeared, although AOL and Yahoo There is some cooperation, but it is conceivable that the relationship between the two parties will be more inclined to competition and opposition in the future.
Therefore, at the simple reception after the signing ceremony, Steve · Kes was even too lazy to maintain the superficial harmony. While talking and laughing with several Wall Street fund leaders, the Firefly system representatives who participated in the signing ceremony were completely regarded as A passerby.
Eric can quite understand the emotions of Steve · Kes. If this kind of thing falls on himself, he may not be able to maintain his demeanor.
However, since the other party regarded himself as a passerby, Eric was not bored to continue to stay, and soon left with Chris and others.
Since the sale of AOL stocks last year, Eric has decided to use all the funds for the next one or two years to invest in short-term convertible bonds that are sufficient to protect and insure. The funds obtained this time need not be discussed too much. . The Nasdaq market has fallen into a completely insane state of madness. Although Eric is full of confidence that the Nasdaq has gone out of the previous curve, it is as much as possible to suppress the stocks that are not sold by the clover fund as early as possible. Technology stocks.
Today happens to be the last day of New York autumn / winter fashion week. Gisele will be the finale of Calvin-Klein's fashion week closing show tonight. Eric agreed to give her a show.
However, the closing show started at six in the evening, and it's only two o'clock in the afternoon. After Eric and Chris, they rushed to a building on 46th Street. Cindy and Linda established the TV Production Studio in this building in.
Seeing the appearance of Eric, the bright blonde at the front desk personally led him to the door of a conference room. After seeing Eric without any indication, he turned away willingly.
Eric opened the door and found that Linda was not there, but another supermodel Tyra · Banks was sitting with Cindy and whispering next to meeting table to discuss what. Hearing the movement, the two women turned their heads together, suddenly showing a surprised expression, and got up Welcome up.
Eric gently hugged the two girls and asked Tyra · Banks with a smile: "Tyra, is there no Catwalk today?"
"No," Tyra · Banks shook his head, but it seemed to add a pointed sentence: "We can't compete with the young people now."
Eric just smiled, sat down next to meeting table, looked at the information on the desktop, and said, "What are you discussing, and what about Linda?"
"Tyra's talk show program," Cindy sat down next to Eric and said, "Linda is outside. I just got a call to find her, didn't you see it?"
Before Eric shook his head, the conference room door was pushed open again, and the Linda · Evangelista holding a mobile phone came in. Tyra · Banks just sat down on the other side of Eric, seeing Linda walking directly to his position, had to let it go to the side.
Before sitting down, Linda began to 'professor Xingshi': "You guy, seduce the girl of our company as soon as I came, I didn't even see me standing nearby, I have fired her."
Eric said helplessly: "Is it really okay for you to be a Boss?"
"Hum," Linda snorted twice, and then changed the style again, saying: "Me and Cindy have watched the" Iron Man "you played previewed Oh, although the beard is ugly, but Eric, you are really It's suitable for dyeing your hair dark, blonde hair doesn't look mature at all. "
Eric shook his head and said: "I don't like to dye my hair."
After chatting a few gossips, Tyra · Banks gave an interesting leave in advance, and Linda happily found a laptop to show Eric his electronic account: "100 million68 million USD, I think this is enough for me to spend my whole life. It ’s even more scary, 200 million more than 80 million USD, angry when you think about it, when you were instructing to invest in Cindy, you did n’t tell me, otherwise I would definitely have more money than her. ”
At this time, following the advice of Eric, both Cindy and Linda sold out all the stocks they held, and the two women also became rare supermodel in the fashion industry with over 100 million net worth.
Although the income of the top supermodels has been greatly increased in recent years, even if the income that can be expected in the future is calculated, there are very few who can accumulate more than 100 million worth of net worth. Only this point, Cindy and Linda can be practical in the long run. His status in the fashion industry's big sister.
"Very good," looking at the laptop screen, Eric smiled and said: "What do you want to do next?"
Linda said: "No, do you plan for us?"
Eric raised his cheek with one hand for a moment, then shook his head and smiled: "Too few, nothing can be done, or keep it as pocket money."
After hearing the words Eric, the excited Linda finally remembered the terrible net worth of the man in front of him, and hugged Eric's arm in dissatisfaction, shaking, saying: "I have read the report, many media said you More than half of the assets in the name are just a bunch of bubbles, and it ’s no big deal. "
The new Forbes rich list will be released next month. Eric really hopes that everyone will think so, then the pressure on him will definitely be reduced a lot.
Just kidding, Eric seriously helped the two women with investment consulting.
The combined funds of less than 500 million USD are indeed too few for Eric. Most of the Firefly system needs Eric's personal attention, such as the ongoing '4200' plan, or the already started construction of Firefly Studio City Paradise is not something that 500 million USD can support.
However, if it is not compared with Firefly Group, this money is definitely a huge sum that can not be ignored for most companies in the world.
I was discussing with the two girls carefully. Eric ’s mobile phone rang and I looked at the caller ID. Eric did not avoid it. I smiled and connected to my ear: "Hi, Gisele ... now, it ’s nothing Things, I'm on the Cindy side ... Of course, I will definitely pass on time, and then bring Cindy and Linda together to give you a show ... Well, that's it, bye. "
After Eric and Gisele finished speaking, just hung up, Linda pouted: "I did n’t promise to give her a favor."
Eric glanced at the expression of Linda and turned to Cindy: "Have you quarreled with Gisele?"
"No," Cindy shook his head and said, "However, you can't expect us to live in harmony with them?"
"You, they," Eric cleverly grasped two keywords and laughed: "It sounds like a story."
Cindy just laughed and said nothing.
Linda could n’t hide it, saying: “You do n’t know, your Brazilian honey is so powerful now. A few months ago, WM launched a newcomer with a very good foundation Oh. But, WM gave The development route she designed is exactly the same as Bündchen. They all follow a healthy and natural image style. They also compared her with Bündchen on a copy of magazine, and then the girl was unlucky. "
Eric is not understood in some places. What does WM mean?
Looking at Cindy, the girl was very understanding and took up the pen. Two words were written in the blank space of a document: Women-Management.
WM, Women-Management, female management company.
I think it should be a professional model Brokerage Firm, but the scale and reputation can not be compared with the giants of the professional model brokerage industry such as Elite, IMG, Ford.
Linda glanced at Cindy ’s small movements and said, “WM is Women-Management. This is still an explanation. The North America brokerage contract of Kate · Moss is in this company. It ’s just that Hailuo ’s style is so outdated. I was in a hurry to transition. Well, where did I just say? "
Eric laughed: "That girl is unlucky."
"Yes," Linda nodded his head and said: "WM originally arranged 15 shows for the girl at this New York fashion week. Guess how many games she finally walked?"
"Zero?"
Linda tapped lightly on the shoulder of Eric, and then raised three fingers: "In three games Oh, I heard that the girl knew that her Dior was snatched away at the opening, and it collapsed directly. It ’s OK."
Eric looked at Linda's small expression of a rabbit's dead fox, but he didn't feel much in his heart.
He is actually a very short-sighted person. It is impossible for his kittens to fight with other people ’s homes.
Also, Eric has always liked women with strong personality. Women who are too soft-hearted do n’t stay long by him. This is like riding a horse. The most powerful knight will naturally choose a fierce horse with a hot personality.
He reached out and pinched on the chin of Linda, and Eric smiled and said: "Don't say so pitiful, haven't you bullied others?"
"No," Linda shook his head in a big voice, turned his eyes and pointed at Cindy, and began the mutiny revolution: "She did this, the autumn show of THIERRY-MUGLER in 1991, she directly pushed with other professional model on the stage It broke up and ruined the whole show. Oh, I remember the designer of THIERRY-MUGLER was crying. "
When I heard Linda ’s own black history, Cindy did n’t care, and said: "Everyone knows that it was obviously picked up by Naomi · Campbell first. The scene was chaotic when I walked onto the catwalk . "
Linda said: "Then the next day's fashion news was all about‘ Cindy · Crawford pushing other professional model ’.”
Cindy gave her a proud glance: "This shows that I am the most famous, and it is not comparable to kittens and puppies."
The two women fought a couple of times, and Linda suddenly came again, holding Eric's arm and said: "Yes, I am indeed going to give your Brazilian Xiaomi candy tonight, CK also invites this time After seeing the girl, it seems that she has not heard of her being squeezed out. By then, the scene must be very lively, and maybe it will fight. "
Linda is in the office of 42nd Street, gloating, Bryant Park, the tent that will hold the CK closing show, the scene is already very lively.
After seeing Gisele hang up the call of Eric Williams, Tom Corey, the CK operations director in charge of this big show, looked sadly at the girl who was sitting at the dressing table and let the makeup artist make up her makeup: "Gisele It ’s just a very unremarkable appearance, everyone will not notice her at all, and now it ’s too late to adjust, you just think she does n’t exist, okay? ”
Gisele did not give in at all, and looked behind him through the makeup mirror and said: "She shouldn't have existed, you decide yourself, either I quit, Fair and Trish they also quit with me, You let her disappear, I do n’t want to see her in the background. "
Tom Corey thought for a while and said, "In this way, I let her make up alone in other places, and leave immediately after walking, and will never appear in front of you."
Gisele waved his hand to signal the makeup artist to go away, turned his head to look at Tom · Cory, the girl was clearly sitting, but she was in a condescending appearance, saying: "Tom, this is the closing show, I really do n’t want to find trouble But, Eric will come over tonight, you should understand what I mean, I do n’t want to see a Madou with a style similar to mine appear on the stage, this matter has not been discussed. "
