Firefly Group Burbank Headquarters.
Elizabeth took an assistant out of the parking lot and walked straight into the Headquarters building of Firefly Group. Compared with the past, today's Firefly Group Headquarters is obviously much more lively. There are a lot of people in the lobby on the first floor. Men and women in suits and in twos and threes gather to talk about each other.
Elizabeth knew that these people were just rushed to attend the meeting of the Firefly system executives, leaving her assistant here, and she went straight to the VIP elevator of the building.
Come to the office on the top floor Eric, greet the outside secretary, and she pushes the door and walks in.
The situation in the office made Elizabeth a little stunned. Eric stood in front of the window and lifted his chin. Kelly · Haynes was carefully helping the man to tidy his tie.
Seeing that Elizabeth came in, Kelly also froze for a moment, and then greeted with a smile: "Early, Liz, you just came, I still have work to do. Come and help Eric tie it." /
After Kelly finished, he loosened his tie, picked up a few documents on the desk of Eric and nodded at Elizabeth, and left the office.
After Kelly left, Eric grabbed half of his neck tie and looked at Elizabeth and smiled: "Look, come and help me tie my neck."
Elizabeth approached with his mouth closed, raised his hand to take the tie in Eric ’s hands, and could n’t help but tow, said: “You ’re not afraid that I will strangle you, so many people are waiting outside. Chaos. "
"Okay, anyway, I will explain how you would not believe it."
Elizabeth ignored Eric, posted it on him and smelled it a few times, and then showed his eyes as you pass, saying, "What are you going to do in such a big situation?"
Eric shook his head and said, "It's nothing. I just want everyone to get together. Of course, do something small by the way."
Elizabeth is very dissatisfied: "Hum, you are so hiding from me, be careful that Fox does not cooperate with you."
"It doesn't matter, if Fox dare not cooperate, I will clean it up tonight Boss daughter."
The Elizabeth brain turned a bit, and the hand was suddenly forced again: "You bastard."
"Lightly, really strangled," Eric smiled and grabbed Elizabeth ’s little hand, and said: "Help me fasten my tie and have something good for you."
Elizabeth has accelerated his hand movements, curious: "What?"
Eric smiled and did not answer. After Elizabeth fastened his tie, he took out a script from the file cabinet under his desk: "Nà, for you."
"You wrote script?" Elizabeth said, picked it up and glanced at it, said: "" Gladiator ", the project of Ridley · Scott, does it mean that you have confirmed that you have cooperated with An Berlin Film Industry? /
Hollywood first-line Director projects will basically appear on the Film Studio executives ’attention list, and it is not surprising that Elizabeth directly stated the data of" Gladiator ".
Eric explained: "There is a problem with the funds in Anberlin. Of course, it may be that there is not enough confidence in this project, so I cut off this project. Last Saturday I came across this one that Tony · Scott happened to know. I just took a look at script and found it very good. However, the large-scale production project on Firefly has been scheduled for three years, so it is your responsibility. "
Elizabeth turned a few pages at random, hesitantly said: "Epic films, everyone now knows that the risks of epic films are very high. Even in the" Braveheart "a few years ago, Box Office is not too successful."
Eric said: "script of" Gladiator "has a wider audience than" Braveheart ", and Ridley · Scott's Director skills are still guaranteed."
"Okay, let me go back and discuss it with you," Elizabeth nodded. She naturally believed in Eric's judgment.
As I said, the office door was pushed open again. The girl was wearing a small shirt and white casual trousers seriously today, but she still happily came over like a little girl and directly wrapped around Eric, two legs still The ring exerts a strange force on his waist, but there is no Natasha's "lethality" at all.
Eric hugged the girl ’s small body, reached out and patted on her little hip, helplessly said: "Don't make trouble, Liz is here."
The girl grinned and kissed the face of Eric, stood up, and suddenly reached out to grab the script from Elizabeth.
The precautionary Elizabeth was proficient in avoiding it and hit it with his backhand: "Little bitch."
The girl withdrew her hand, hugged Eric's arm and complained with grievance: "Eric, she scolded me."
Eric separates the two women who are not right, saying, "Okay, no quarrels, let's go to the meeting room, the people are almost here."
......
One of the largest conference rooms in Firefly Group Headquarters was full of people at this time. Eric walked outside with the Elizabeth and girl, and Kelly just pushed the door out.
Eric stopped and asked, "Are you ready?"
Kelly said: "There is something wrong with the connection on the Nokia side, but it is already good."
Eric nodded, first pushed the door and went in.
When I saw Eric coming in, all the people who had been chatting and talking were all quieted down, got up and looked at the Eric who had just entered the door.
At this time, in the Firefly system, in addition to the executives of Firefly Group, Fox Group and Metro Goldwyn Mayer Group in Los Angeles, the West Coast Headquarters in San Francisco Firefly electronic giant, Headquarters in San Diego Qualcomm several core executives also rushed over, other departments Connected with the company through video, it appeared on ten 32-inch wall-mounted screens lined up on both sides of the large conference room.
Eric walked to the top position, took a folder from Carolyn, and nodded to everyone: "Let's sit down."
A lot of people were seated one after another, but Eric was still standing on the spot. He didn't prepare a seat at his position today.
In the conference room, Katzenberg, Frank, Wells, girl, Elizabeth, Amy, Pascal, John, Calley, Joe Ross, and Firefly of the Hollywood system, Victor McNelli, Qualcomm CEO, Irving, Jacob, etc. were respectively Sit on the sides of the large meeting table. On the wall of the meeting room, ten 32-inch wall-mounted screens are connected with Robert AIG executives of New York ABC, Chris and Firefly investment and Emily couples, John · Chambers executives of Cisco Headquarters, Ian · Gnell III of Yahoo People and other Apple, Sprint, Amazon and other ten offices.
Looking around left and right, feeling the gaze of dozens of people through the scene and the camera lens, Eric suddenly developed a feeling of ambition.
This is your own business empire.
Firefly Empire.
The feeling of Eric is so. Everyone who participated in this meeting on the spot and through a video connection also had an inexplicable shock in their hearts.
Unconsciously, everyone discovered that they were in such a huge business empire.
At this time, in the Firefly system, in addition to Firefly Group, the market value of Cisco has also exceeded 100billion USD. Although it has been excluded by the Firefly system, the number of shares still exceeds 15% of AOL, and the market value has also exceeded 50billion USD. Comparing the core Yahoo, Nokia, Firefly Electronics, LTD and other companies, the market value scale also reached 10 billion and even more than 10 billion USD.
After years of accumulation, the scale of assets controlled by the entire Firefly system has now exceeded 400billion USD.
What is this concept? According to the latest statistics, in the latest GDP data of all countries in the world, India ranked 13th, the GDP number is 429billion USD, and Australia ranked 14th, the GDP number is only 380billion.
In this way, just the Firefly system is equivalent to controlling a huge 'economy' that ranks 14th in the world, and it can be described as a veritable rich and enemy country.
The meeting room was quiet for a moment. Eric finally clapped and attracted everyone ’s attention before saying with a smile: "The Yahoo annual meeting last year and the Chris wedding last year, everyone gathered together. I had hoped Such a party can be held once a year. However, eight months have passed since this year, everyone, including myself, is very busy. This year, the real party may have no time, so I have to choose to pass this kind of Get together once. Starting next year, I hope to be able to finalize this kind of gathering and arrange the dates and schedule in advance. "
With a nod of approval from everyone, Eric took two steps in place before continuing: "Of course, everyone must find that this time we have a partner who withdrew from this meeting, which has to be said to be a pity , Because in my imagination, all companies in the Firefly system are an indispensable part. The departure of AOL also made me realize that there are too many things in this world that are always unsatisfactory, but I hope In the next few years, vacancies left by AOL can be refilled. "
After saying this, he paused for a moment and glanced at everyone on and off the field. Eric suddenly smiled and said, "Well, everyone must have heard of the recent events and it is very lively. I suddenly felt that I will be in the future Even by identifying script or something, it can still live well. After all, it is just my affirmation that I can increase the price of a script worth 100,000 USD to 7.5 million USD. "
In the slightly ridiculous laughter of everyone, Eric clapped again and continued: "Nà, let's talk about this last thing, watching everyone sitting in front of me and attending this conference through video, I Now I still do n’t quite believe that all of this is true. "
Eric said, very casually rolled up the shirt sleeves, with these memories, slowly said: "Remember ten years ago, oh, it was exactly ten years, 1988, probably also at this time, I still work as a waiter in a Italian Restaurant, and, due to some changes, I suddenly found that I am the only one left in my world. I give the guests a plate every day. I am basically in a daze, thinking about my own things. , Thinking about the future, thinking about it, I felt that I could n’t go through so muddled, at least, I should do something to prove that I really existed. Then, I wrote my own first part novel. A script, participated in the first part movie, and directed his own first part movie. Now when I look back, I realize how lucky I am, because along the way, I always meet someone who can help myself. "
"I have a firm foothold in Hollywood and created Firefly Group. Slowly, I started to want to do more things. I admit that at the beginning, I was holding a very blind and completely There is a speculative mentality to do these things, like investing in AOL, Cisco, and even Nokia. My idea at the time was to wait for these companies to develop and then take out the stocks invested at that time to make a big profit. Money. "
Listening to the laughter that sounded again inside and outside the venue, Eric also smiled, and said: "However, now, I have no idea of speculation, even if it is about to leave the AOL of the Firefly family, I think everyone It must be clear that there is not much money in it. It ’s just that there is a conflict between the development concept of the outside world and the two sides have to separate. In fact, if possible, I even hope that everyone can go hand in hand forever, because , Or what I just said, in my heart, every team in the Firefly system is indispensable. "
In this way, Eric made a gesture to Carolyn, who was sitting quietly next to him, and an engineering prototype that took a tablet computer from the other party was displayed in front of everyone. "Maybe, everyone will think that what I just said is out Yu Ketao, but definitely not. Simply put, the future of the Firefly system can be concentrated in this small machine. Everyone must have known that this is a tablet computer developed by Firefly Electronics and Yahoo in cooperation. Perhaps, at this time, you will have doubts in your heart. This has nothing to do with me, of course. "
"In my imagination, this machine can link the entire Firefly system ..."
For the next half an hour, Eric is elaborating on the planned tablet computer and even further smartphones to integrate Internet equipment, content, service providers, mobile communication equipment manufacturers, underlying technology research and development companies and even the entire Firefly system. The content services of Hollywood Media Group are connected in series to form a complete and ambitious blueprint for the information age industry.
Since Monday, Eric has been preparing for this speech today. Combining the future development of the information industry in memory and the accumulation of experience over the years, Eric's description of the future prospects of the Firefly system has made everyone on the scene listen to it.
It is fair to say that if the Eric vision can be achieved, the entire 21st century may be the era of the Firefly system, just like the two families of Morgan and Rockefeller in the 20th century rely on energy, car, and finance for the entire world. Control that way.
Because of Eric ’s age, the scene always inevitably treated him with some contempt and prejudice in the workplace elite.
This young man may not have a high degree of education like the Ivy League school, or may not have the workplace experience they have accumulated for many years, but this visionary vision displayed at this time may be that he can lead the Firefly system in just In ten years' time it will be the reason now.
After all, there is never a shortage of talent, even genius, what is lacking in this world is only those who have always been able to walk on the right path and have a keen vision.
