So, a few days before the start of these highly anticipated 50 concerts, a generation of emperor superstar died inexplicably.
Thinking of this, Eric could not help but shivered, thanking that he had not been born again to a black man. Therefore, although he is now being jointly excluded by several giants, he has not been discriminated from the heart of the public.
After Golden Globe Award, Eric and Robert Shay quickly signed a contract to transfer Firefly10% shares again, and at the same time directly charged the 60 million USD cash paid by Robert Shay to the investment company account located in New York.
Although Jeffrey and Chris both objected to this, I hope that Eric will leave a cash for unexpected needs, but Eric is determined to require Chris to use this 60 million USD plus the previously arrived 10 million USD, total 70 million USD Cash, to win as many shares of Cisco as possible.
Before this turmoil, Eric has never paid too much attention to money. He feels that as long as he develops steadily, he will definitely step up to the peak step by step in the future.
But after the storm, Eric discovered that in this capital world, money is the most important thing. It is like a talisman. If Eric was a billionaire with 1 billion USD property before, even if he was younger Now these people dare not attack him like this.
Time goes by day by day, endured the mad bombing on newspaper media, Eric can also hear good news from time to time, because most investment institutions are not very optimistic about the prospects of Cisco, plus Cisco The market value is only 225 million USD. Therefore, under the price attack of Chris, some investment institutions that had originally decided to purchase Cisco shares transferred their subscription shares.
The share of stocks from the beginning is 7%. One by one increase, 70 million USD all spent at the end of January. Won a total of 23% of the shares of CiscoWW, although according to the market value of Cisco 225 million USD. 70 million's 23% stake is a big loss, but if the market value of 500billion USD at the peak of Cisco is used, the value of this equity will be an astronomical figure.
Of course, Eric also knows that with the development of Cisco, this share will definitely be gradually diluted, but as long as it can maintain about 10% of the shares in the end, it will still be a huge asset in the future.
At the same time that Chris spent all of 70 million USD. February 1st finally arrived, the four lawsuits were still entangled at the same time, United States's antitrust investigation agency Federal Trade Investigation Committee Los Angeles branch held a press conference, proclaiming that it would be involved in the alleged monopoly of Firefly and the joint elite Brokerage Firm Conduct an investigation.
As soon as the news came out, public opinion was again in an uproar, and various analyses quickly appeared in the newspaper.
In the Malibu manor, Edward Lewis walked hurriedly into the living room and sat down opposite Eric. At this time, there were already several people in the living room, Jeffrey. Robert Shay and uta's CEO Kapoor Sid are here.
"Edward, let's talk about the situation first?" Eric poured a cup of coffee for Edward Lewis before saying.
Edward drank the coffee in one go. Then he took out a thick stack of documents and placed it on the coffee table. One of them said: "Eric, it's roughly like this. The Federal Trade Investigation Commission has started to investigate and collect evidence from Firefly and uta. Once the conviction is established, then, In addition to all the shares you want to sell uta, you may also face huge fines. "
"How much is this penalty?" Eric asked the question he was most concerned about. Columbia and Fox joined together and owed Firefly a huge share. Eric realized that the final killer must be related to money.
Edward Lewis found another document saying: "According to the provisions of the Anti-Monopoly Law, in general. Penalties are imposed on the basis of 20% of the revenue generated by the illegal enterprises due to monopolistic behavior. But this number is not fixed, and The flexibility is quite large. If the operation is good, you don't even need to pay a penny, you just need to transfer the uta shares in your hand, but if ... "
"Edward, sorry to interrupt you, you know, we all know a little bit about the relevant laws, so you just say how much fine I might have to pay for it."
"Ah, well," Edward Lewis said: "According to the violations of Firefly and uta, you may have to pay a fine of up to 100 million 60 million USD."
Eric took a jump: "How could it be so much, uta's profit today is only a few million?"
Edward explained: "Eric, it ’s not your algorithm. You should calculate uta and Firefly together, because before uta and Firefly are your personal industries. And I got some from Ms. Carloyn Elliot before. Information, your total credit this year will reach 400 million more than USD. Coupled with the income that may be brought by the five movies that are still on show, because the violations of uta and Firefly are not serious, so 20% of the basic amount does not exist Increased probability, therefore, the sum of the penalties you will pay may be up to 160 million. "
Eric was stunned, and asked, "How long is the time limit for collecting fines?"
Edward knows what Eric is asking, saying: "According to the current situation, this lawsuit will not exceed three months, and then, you still have three months to pay the fine, yes, Eric, I just told You have emphasized that 160 million USD is only the worst possible. In fact, in general, this penalty will be much lower than this number, even without payment. "
"Half a year," Eric murmured to himself. He didn't ask Edward what would happen if he didn't pay a fine. It was obvious that nothing was more than an asset freeze and then an auction. What is his asset, only Firefly.
Also, although the profits of these movies at the end of the year may far exceed 160 million USD, Eric can be sure that after these movies are downgraded, it is impossible for him to get the money except in lawsuits. After waiting to win the lawsuit, it is estimated that half a year has passed.
Since the situation is irreversible, Eric will no longer suffer from gains and losses, and said to several people around him: "Since we have reached this point, we should also fight back."
Jeffrey has been suffocating for a long time, because Eric lacks trust in other people, so at present, only Jeffrey knows about the video tape he left behind: "Eric, what we need to do, although Say it? "(To be continued)
