"Now many people in Wall Street are gnashing our teeth. In a week, the stock price of Yahoo has risen by 17%. The losses of major short-selling funds have exceeded 3.1 billion USD. Many high-lever short positions are directly liquidated.
Firefly Studios, a small meeting room.
Just just connected the video conferencing equipment, Chris far away from New York said so.
Eric sits in a leather chair and waits for the secretary to serve coffee to himself and the Katzenberg opposite, before looking at several monitors. At this time, the meeting rooms are connected to the offices of Boston Yahoo Headquarters, New York ABCHeadquarters and Chris.
"But there are certainly people who are grateful to us, 3.1 billion USD, this is not a small amount," Eric picked up the coffee, noticed the appearance of Emily behind Chris, smiled and said hello: "Hi Amy, today is Zhou Sixth, didn't you watch the children at home? "
Emily reached out and took a folder from the desk of Chris and threw a blind eye at Eric at the camera, saying: "You secretly let Edward sign the girl thing Vicky and Joan already know, you still think How can I explain to them? Vicky said that the sofa has been prepared for you. You can sleep on it when you come over on Easter day. "
Eric immediately raised his hand and said to Rao: "Stop, Amy, but I am Boss, give face."
Listening to Emily unravelling the lace of Boss, everyone laughed again.
Emily didn't pay any attention to him anymore, and disappeared into the camera with the folder he had just picked up.
When the wife left, Chris rarely showed some thoughts of gossip, lowered his voice and said: "Speaking, Eric, what is going on with you and the girl?"
"This," Eric said helplessly, "Do you think you can't hear it when you lower your voice?"
Another burst of laughter.
Just a few jokes, Eric clapped his hands and said: "Okay, tell the business, first of all, about the acquisition proposal submitted by Yahoo here."
Eric said, opened a document in front of him, and looked serious, saying: "I remember I said before the IPO that the current bubble in the Nasdaq market will burst sooner or later. Once this happens, the whole The new technology industry will be caught in the capital winter. Although we have obtained huge amounts of more than 5billion USD through the IPO, this money is basically equivalent to the Yahoo ‘winter’ ration, so I hope every cent of this will be spent Good value for money. Take another look at the acquisition proposal you submitted, such as this one, a software solution that can speed up the browser web page loading speed, which is indeed a good thing. But, 20 million USD, are you kidding me? Ten people from the Yahoo team of engineers were casually brought out and given them a month. I do n’t believe they could n’t do it. Ten people, one month, who will help me calculate how much it will cost? ”
In the conference room of Yahoo Headquarters of Boston, Ian · Gnier did n’t expect that Eric, who had just joked with Emily · Brighton and had a hippie smile, showed signs of soaring and could only actively explain: "Eric, which also involves patent Question. "
"Then find a way to go around, or find other alternatives, or you can't do it, then why should I hire you?" Eric recklessly reprimanded, throwing away the folder in front. , Said: "In short, none of these proposals you submitted will be approved. I know that the entire industry is very impetuous, everyone is burning money, you think that since the company is listed, you must also comply with the rules of listed companies. Crazy money, crazy mergers and acquisitions, and crazy expansion, otherwise you may be criticized by the market and investors. But you are wrong, I tell you, Yahoo only needs to follow the established route to go steadily, without being responsible for the stock price. No need to be responsible for Wall Street, if you must be responsible, you only need to be responsible for me. "
Listening to the rumbling paper sounds after the documents flew out from the speaker, Ian · Gernier nodded and nodded. The Steve · Mitnick, who was still casually tapping the laptop in front of him, also sat up straight, Tina Brown is slightly bowed, fingertips gently twist the corner of the document in front of it, seems to want to flatten the paper.
No one is sitting in the workplace as a rookie. Anyone has encountered such things as the boss or Boss.
Compared to this, Eric is definitely a very gentle Boss.
But at this time Eric suddenly broke out, and everyone realized that he was really angry, so no one dared to confess.
Eric took a sip of the coffee next to him, eased his emotions, and continued: "In recent years, the expansion of Yahoo has indeed been somewhat larger, with a staff of 6,000, surpassing all other pure Internet companies, as well Since then, many people have become millionaires or billionaires, and there will definitely be slack in my heart, I feel that I can enjoy life, or, I feel that I own millions of USD, and the current position can no longer match their net worth. These I can understand it, but I will not tolerate it. Therefore, I need you to prepare in advance. After the bubble of the technology stocks bursts, Yahoo will also carry out a layoff to remove those who want to enjoy life. Yahoo has a long future The way to go is not tolerant of the slackers who cannot keep up with the company. Of course, they have made their own contributions to Yahoo, so the company will definitely buy the stock in their hands so that they can enjoy their lives as much as possible. Or start a new career. "
After finishing these words, Eric took the careful office secretary to reorganize the documents handed over, and did not wait for the responses of the three Ian Gnier, he continued: "Okay, let ’s start the next issue, Regarding the merger of AOL and Time Warner. The current situation has become very subtle, you must have read the article in the "Washington Post". Since this week, the stocks of listed companies in the entire Firefly system have been rising, but AOL However, the share price growth rate is higher than Yahoo. Obviously, many people are optimistic about the prospect of the merger of AOL and Time Warner. After the merger of these two companies, Firefly will have a strong competitor, which is actually good for us. But at the same time We must also change our established strategy. At least, in public media, we need to firmly oppose the merger of AOL and Time Warner. The more intense our opposition, the less resistance the merger of AOL and Time Warner may encounter. So, everyone Tell me, what should I do? "
With the release of the Forbes rich list this year, the wealth of Eric individuals exceeded 300billion USD, and finally the whole North America has been completely burst out of certain emotions accumulated by the continuous surge of Eric net worth for several consecutive years.
Although capital is pursuing profit, superstition and Eric ’s stunning investment vision, almost all the stocks related to the Firefly system in the market have skyrocketed, but at the same time, the need to limit the continued expansion of the Firefly system has become more and more clamoring.
Of course, in such a mature capital society, even if Eric's personal wealth is huge, the federal government will never dare to use any rough situation to directly deprive private property, which involves a country's fundamental institutional issues. However, according to the current situation, it is not difficult to foresee that every step of the expansion of the Firefly system in the future will be subject to very strict scrutiny and restrictions. This is also not because the federal is too afraid of private wealth, but other capital forces in this society. Basic Instinct counterattack in order to protect their own rights and interests.
In the short term, fostering a strong competitor of the Firefly system, for example, AOL-Time Warner, is destined to be a matter of great success for many people.
In all fairness, Eric also very much hopes for such an opponent, an opponent he can predict and control to a certain extent.
As for the longer term, if you want to continue to expand the Firefly system, what Eric needs to do is either eliminate the opponent or pull the opponent into the Firefly system camp.
In addition to Yahoo ’s business strategy and discussion on how to reversely promote the merger of AOL and Time Warner, there are some recent discussions on the control of Eric ’s personal assets, as well as other general discussions about large and small. In fact, It was already afternoon on the East Coast, and the meeting was considered over.
Out of the meeting room, Meyer handed over a mobile phone, indicating that Paul Roland had already waited online.
Eric and Katzenberg walked towards the big ship together, planning to have a meal together, at the same time took the phone and chatted with the other side, then hung up the phone.
Thinking about the reminder of Emily before the meeting in the morning, it is really a bit difficult.
In the beginning, Carmen Kasie was picked up on a whim, but Eric ignored the possible thoughts of the women. Virginia and Joanna had always rarely asked about his outside affairs, but the last time Carmen Kas came Then one thing really scared the children.
For a moment, Eric put these thoughts aside.
The soldiers came to cover up the water.
What did you say in that sentence? I do n’t want to bite if I have more lice.
Moreover, under the influence of the recent outside world and theory, Eric still has a lot of pressure in his heart.
He came to the restaurant on the ship and ordered lunch. Katzenberg mentioned "The Blair Witch Project" again.
"The second week 61510,000 USD Box Office, two weeks cumulative Box Office827.8 million USD, the production cost is only 60,000 USD, in the next few weeks, the total Box Office is likely to exceed 150 million USD. Now everyone is saying, maybe this is why you will become The first super rich with a personal wealth exceeding 300billion USD. In this world, I am afraid that no movie can create a higher return on investment than "The Blair Witch Project". "
Eric took the bottled water from Amy Adams and smiled at the girl before saying to Katzenberg: "This is not necessarily the case, Hollywood is always not lacking in miracles. By the way, speaking of this, you can now give Those two young Directors received a bonus, as well as the last small network marketing team. "
Katzenberg nodded and said: "Actually, Kenneth just let me ask you what you mean? I think it is enough to give each of them 1 million USD. After all, the success of Box Office is mainly because of the effect of our marketing plan."
"Give them two 5 million USD, 1 million is a bit less," Eric shook his head and smiled: "If you are reluctant, I will write a check to them personally."
"Okay, then 5 million. However, in this case, although we do n’t plan to open the sequel of" The Blair Witch Project "in the short term, it is no problem for them to re-sign the two films." The Blair Witch Project "has won after all. Box Office succeeds, even if it is a traditional film, they will definitely be more likely to be attracted by the market than the newcomer Director. "
"This is what happened to you and Kenneth. I don't have so much energy now."
"Speaking," Katzenberg nodded and said, "Are you going to attend the Oscar awards ceremony tomorrow?"
"No interest, this year's Oscar is nothing better than film."
"Actually, I mean," Katzenberg said: "Regarding the promotion of" Iron Man ", Eric, everyone is a bit unable to start now. According to the normal process, a big production movie, now the lead actor should start participating in each TV shows have preheated the movie. "
"I also regret it now, I really shouldn't take over this role," Eric smiled bitterly: "These days after the media has been so tumultuous, everyone must be more hostile to me, the super rich, I don't know if it will Come to watch the movie I played in person, I have thought about whether to adjust the Marvel Cinematic Universe plan and marginalize Iron Man. "
"This, if necessary, we really have to do it." Katzenberg's expression also agrees a little, even without the kind of regret in the Eric tone.
After all, Iron Man is originally just a second-line Superhero of Marvel. The reason why the original space and time was so successful was that the Iron Man fame was comparable to the Spider-Man, Fantastic Four and XX-Men series, mainly because of the opportunity.
But now, since the situation has changed too much, a temporary adjustment is also necessary.
Eric also hesitated for a moment, and said: "Well, the things that should be done are always to be done. I will attend Oscar tomorrow. In addition, let Bowei start planning the promotion activities as normal and smooth. I will do my best. May cooperate as possible. "
"Okay." Katzenberg responded, and Amy brought their lunch together. The conversation paused for a moment, and Katzenberg said again: "Do you have arrangements for the evening? If you are free, I have a small party at home. Team? "
Eric smiled and shook his head, saying: "I will go to San Francisco in the afternoon to discuss the equity incentive plan of Firefly Electronics, and I may not be able to return tonight."
