Remember [lnmao.org] in one second, fast update, no pop-up window, free to read!
Because of time constraints, Eric ’s guest news about the Oprah Show only had time to make a preview on the ABC channel, the Yahoo portal, and several newspapers that have a good relationship with the Firefly system.
However, although Eric does not actually want this show to receive much attention, the final viewing result is still beyond the expectations of many people.
Half an hour of interviews, including advertisements, 45 minutes of the entire program, the highest number of viewers once rushed to 31.3 million, and the average number of viewers also reached 26600,000, which is almost three of the daily ratings of "Oprah Show". Many times.
As a daytime talk show, "Oprah Show" usually only has about 8 million audience ratings.
With the broadcast of this episode of "Oprah Show", the media of various parties also seem to have been hinted to start discussing more or less about what Eric talked about in this talk show.
However, the attitude of most media is still very cautious.
Because just yesterday afternoon, the famous Sequoia Capital of Silicon Valley suddenly announced the departure of its subsidiary LH fund Manager Ronald · Hill. Immediately, some media soon discovered that Ronald Hill happened to be the main investor of the ‘Hollywood gossip’ website that provoked the incident.
At the same time, yesterday evening, the ‘Hollywood gossip’ website, which had been down for a whole day, announced that it would be permanently shut down.
As an entertainment news website that has been operating for more than two years and has accumulated a considerable amount of traffic, according to the current fever of new technology that has been completely mad, if this website is listed, the market value can reach at least 20-30 million USD level .
Just because of the exposure of the gossip news of Eric Williams ’s children, in just one day, a large investment fund Manager with a controlled asset size exceeding 1billion USD left, and a website with a market value of tens of millions of USD was completely closed.
Although the parties are quiet about the reasons, everyone understands that these two things are obviously inextricably linked to the Firefly system.
Therefore, despite the hints that can be discussed, most media people do not want to hear the news that they have been dismissed or even their own newspaper, website or TV Station closed because they made a statement that provoked Eric Williams.
"There is no doubt that as a father, Eric Williams is undoubtedly very competent, especially considering that this super rich man was only in his early twenties, this courage to take responsibility is even more valuable."-"New York Post 》
"Although the relationship between Eric Williams and several ladies is a little special, his sincere, frank, and courageous personality really makes people find no place to criticize. Even, we have to remind the richest man in the world You have to be careful, sir, maybe you will have more children in the future. "-" Newsweek "
"When I saw Eric Williams showing these photos one by one, I only had envy in my heart. Although I did n’t recognize the open relationship between Eric Williams and several women, but at the same time, he was This kind of elaborate emotional maintenance method can bring some inspiration to many families that have gradually become numb in marriage. "-Yahoo woman section
"As a Director, an screenwriter, and a Actor, our Mr. Williams has only managed a few sideline businesses, and unwittingly accumulated hundreds of billions of USD net worths, which really makes all investors in Wall Street feel uncomfortable. However, his comment on the third industrial revolution is indeed very insightful. We are in a new period of wealth distribution, so seize the opportunity, otherwise, you really have to wait another hundred years, Of course, if you can live to a hundred years later. "-" Wall Street Daily "
“Eric Williams ’s disappointment with Howard · Hughes biography, maybe disappointment with the news attitude of the entire media industry. Over the years, the entire industry has become more and more impetuous. Sincerely, just for higher newspaper sales and higher ratings, and pay attention to gossip entertainment news that only favors the crowd. "-" Washington Post "
“Vicious bottomless dumping in order to suppress competitors may bring temporary benefits to one party, but it damages the foundation of the entire industry. When everyone abandons business ethics When habitually relying on discrediting opponents to gain advantages for themselves, the final result will only be the reputation of the whole industry. People have no way to distinguish between good and bad, they will only divide the entire circle into a basket of rotten Apple, and then avoid it . "-" Hollywood Reporter "

Overall, the media ’s subsequent evaluation of the whole matter will either be appreciated, or be understated, or he will be concerned about him. Occasionally there are some criticisms, which can no longer affect the entire media trend.
Of course, this is naturally not North America media suddenly became very talkative.
The reason for this is that, on the one hand, the Eric's sincere and open attitude in the "Oprah Show", on the other hand, it is also the strong attitude of the Firefly system that most media are afraid of.
Due to the influence of the entire media trend, most ordinary people have not even had time to form prejudice, and they have unconsciously accepted the relationship between Eric and several women, and he is already the father of three children. fact. Of course, this tolerance or indifferent attitude is largely due to the wealth status of Eric. A super rich with hundreds of billions of USD, in the eyes of most ordinary people, private life should be extremely 'rich and colorful', Eric's performance in front of the media, for many people, has even been very 'convergent' Too.
As the gossip incident that hardly caused too many waves quickly subsided, the original publicity momentum has already overwhelmed the "Iron Man", the audience expectation has not only dropped, but the popularity has been higher. The most intuitive performance is that the search popularity curve of "Iron Man" on web portal and search engines has obviously increased by a large amount.
As the opening chapter of Marvel Cinematic Universe, and has won a very good pre-reputation, if the movie Box Office is lost due to a gossip event, even if Firefly Group can fully bear the commercial losses, it will hit the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe plan. It is very serious.
Now, everything is back on track and everyone is relieved.
Of course, in private, many things are not over yet.
Other people come over with a black fist. If they ca n’t counterattack at once and do n’t dare to shoot easily, then the next small moves will only follow one after another.
Long Island, Eath Hampton.
Because the speed of the incident subsided quickly, the women and children avoided the first time the incident occurred. At this time, Eath Hampton appeared very calm, and there was no media gathering from the beginning to the end.
However, the two women of Joanna did not return immediately with their children, and they planned to return when Kevin and Emma passed this summer.
Therefore, in Linhai Manor of Eath Hampton, only Eric has a male host at this time.
After participating in the "Oprah Show", Eric arrived here. In fact, he could not predict the follow-up reaction of the media and the public 100%, and he took the initiative to avoid it.
The results are naturally very satisfying, and Eric also turned his mind to the end of this matter.
However, today's guest is George · Suo Ross.
I have n’t seen it for a long time, old man is still a kind of spirited look.
After the Quantum Fund planted a big head in the Russia bond stock market last year, although it lost 3billion USD, it did not hurt the fundamentals.
What makes Eric admire is that as the most risky investor in everyone's eyes, So Ross is like Buffett this time, very savvy and cautious to avoid the more turbulent Nasdaq market. Although Quantum Fund also participates in the investment of technology stocks, its scale is very small, and it is more like a free trial. Even if all the invested funds are lost, it does not matter.
Compared to the Tiger Fund, which was tied to the Quantum Fund, the founder Julian Robertson continued to bet on short technology stocks. In just a few months, the continuous misjudgment of the situation has made this hedge The fund's capital size quickly fell to 11billion USD, which is more than half shrinkage compared to the peak period two years ago.
In early summer, a round table was placed on the green lawn of the manor.
Eric and Suo Ross are drinking coffee while casually chatting about many recent things.
"Actually, I am also very Tempted for technology stocks, but the current situation can only remind me of the madness before the big stock market crash of 1929 and 1987, not to mention, I know very little about the new technology industry A old man that ca n’t keep up with the times, I think it ’s better to stay away from it. ”
Speaking of the Nasdaq market at this time, So Ross has a disappointment of missing a good opportunity in his tone, but it is obviously calm and abnormal.
Eric placed one hand on the table and sat sideways, casually tilting his legs and gazing at the Enron landscape under the afternoon sun, saying, "This is my biggest feeling over the years. This is really smart investment. People are never gamblers, and the occasional failure of everyone just fails to judge the situation more accurately, not because of bad luck. "
Suo Ross nodded slightly, put down the coffee cup in his hand, and said with a smile: "So, Eric, you invited me over today, not just for chatting, although chatting with you is really pleasant?"
"Of course not," said Eric, took a sip of the coffee beside him, and said: "I found some bugs in my residence and office some time ago."
"Everyone has encountered this kind of thing," hearing Eric said so, Ross smiled indifferently and said, "You will get used to it in the future."
"Maybe," Eric smiled and said, "However, we still found something."
"Huh?"
"First I found the person who placed the bug, and then went up and found the middleman who entrusted the matter. The other party ’s funds came from an anonymous fund in the Cayman Islands. You know, the next step is more difficult to check. Now. "
Suo Ross nodded, and also generated some curiosity, said: "What then?"
"The staff employed by Firefly did not find out the owner of this fund. However, we found some cases funded by this fund, bill lobbying, travel funding and the like. These cases basically point to the Pennsylvania state Scott Natural Gas Company, "said Eric, picked up an envelope on the desktop, took out a photo from it and handed it to Sogg Ross, saying:" It happened that we also found that Boss Milos · Scott of Scott Gas Company has always An important client of the Tiger Fund, the Scott family has invested at least 500 million USD in the Tiger Fund, Nà, and here is a photo of Milos · Scott and Julian Robertson. "
Suo Ross listened patiently, but knew in his heart that these recourse processes absolutely do not want to be understated as described by Eric at this time.
After taking a look at the photo, I asked Ross to put it down and shook my head: "Eric, these prove nothing."
"I did n’t want to prove anything, and I did n’t plan to sue anyone," Eric also shook his head with a smile on his lips, and said: "I just hope you can help me pass this photo to Mr. Robertson, and also I have a piece of advice. He wants to short which company is his freedom, but do n’t reach out to Firefly. Everyone knows that the Nasdaq market may crash at any time, but Firefly has enough funds to support any of our brands. The company ’s stock price, when necessary, I can even buy back all the outstanding shares in the company ’s market. "
"Actually, regarding the operation of the Clover Fund, I should be the most confused, but I have to admire you little guy, of course, I also know that you will definitely not tell me anything, maybe wait for these things The dust is settled, you can tell me a little bit about this old man's experience, "Suo Ross suddenly changed the subject, put the photo into the suit pocket, and nodded:" I will pass it on to him. "
After talking about it, I chatted a few more words, and asked Ross to leave.
Send Ross and Eric back to the lawn in the backyard again. Meyer is already waiting here. Watching Eric sit down, Meyer still ca n’t help but ask: "Eric, just consider as finished?" >
"Otherwise," Eric thought of Ross's sentence that you will be used to, and smiled, said: "Then Julian Robertson should not shoot the Firefly system again, he If I really continue to do so, I do n’t mind pumping a stick back. Moreover, this person has now entered a gambler mentality. According to the current trend of Tiger Fund, continue to go short, the result is only bankruptcy and liquidation, we also There is no need to do anything extra. "
Meyer nodded, carefully packed the cups on the round table, returned to the villa behind him for a moment, and returned with a pot of hot coffee, saying: "Eric, Ronald · Hill, is the investor of 'Hollywood gossip' , He is now in New York, saying he hopes to apologize to you, do you want to see him? "
Eric renewed some coffee for himself, and asked lightly, "Is that all?"
"There is still a copy of fax," Meyer handed over the folder he just held in his hand, and said: "The person in charge of that website confessed voluntarily that Paramount Pictures ’s release Vice Chairman Stan Lee Cullen gave him 300,000 USD, Those press releases were also provided by the other party.
