Joanna did not respond as much as Virginia, and said with a smile: "If you are not afraid of children complaining about you naming them in the future, call it Hawaii."
"It's better than a name like Kevin or Anji. When I grow up, there are a lot of people with the same name around me, right?" Eric subconsciously began to vomit again.
Virginia agreed to see Joanna so easily, and suddenly felt a sense of loss when a toy that he did n’t like was just thrown away and was taken away like a baby, pulling the sleeve of Eric: "Eric, there are Well, another one is needed. "
Eric thought about it and shook his head: "It's gone. The two names you just got are just for the little guy in your stomach. The Joan is called Hawaii."
"Ah ..."
Virginia opened his mouth dissatisfied, but was speechless, and Joanna also smiled gently.
......
The news of Joanna ’s sudden fainting during the movie shoots has aroused a lot of media attention. Then the speaker of Brokerage Firmicm, where Joanna was located, suddenly announced that Joanna had withdrawn from the crew due to illness, but he did not say what disease Joanna had. It has caused various speculations.
In this case, the news that Virginia withdrew from another movie of Carlock Film Studio was also dug out by paparazzi at the same time. The relationship between the two women ’s girlfriends is not a secret in the circle, and the sensitive media immediately realized this There is some kind of unknown insider, so a lot of paparazzi began to move.
Universal Pictures is naturally silent on the news of Joanna ’s speech. After learning that Eric hurried back to New York, Michael Eisner called and Eric naturally had to owe this favor.
As for Carlock. This Film Studio backed by German investors has always been rich due to Germany ’s special film tax rebate policy. It is famous for making big investment films, and likes to cooperate with Schwarzenegger Stallone and other stars with international reputation. The original film "Terminator 2: Judgement Day" invested by the Ministry of Time and Space This is the work of Carlock Film Studio. However, the Germans just want to make money from movies, and do not want to offend Hollywood's ground snake. After promising some cooperation conditions, Eric didn't even spend a penny for liquidated damages. Take back the Virginia contract.
After handling these things, Eric had planned to bring two women back to Los Angeles. The temperature of New York at the end of September had dropped to 20 degrees, and Southampton in the suburbs of New York was even colder. Not very suitable for pregnant women, but Virginia does not know what to think, but he is reluctant to return to Los Angeles. Eric has no choice but to stay temporarily. However, in order to prevent paparazzi from finding the Virginia house, Eric had to temporarily rent in the nearby Eath Hampton A mansion, moved with two women.
Eric returned to New York for three days because of good confidentiality measures. The news has not been disclosed, but it is impossible for Eric to conceal this matter from people close to it. Especially Chris Hansson who has been living in New York.
"Eric, Chris didn't mean to come at twelve o'clock, it's been five minutes now, would you like to call and ask?" Virginia leaned out of the kitchen and shouted to Eric.
Eric glanced at the watch and said: "Relax. Maybe something happened, and there. Don't you mess up in the kitchen?"
"I'm afraid the food they cook doesn't meet your taste," Virginia glanced at Eric, and turned back into the kitchen to command the chef.
Although Eric says so, it also feels a bit strange. Chris has always been a very punctual person and will not be late for no reason. Thinking about it, Eric picked up the remote control to turn off the TV and got up and walked out of the villa. Joanna, who was sitting in the corridor reading a book, saw Eric coming out. Looking at this, Eric pointed to the doorway, picked up a sunglasses, and walked out.
Eath Hampton is located at the easternmost end of Long Island. There are more top rich people living here than Southampton. Spielberg owns a manor named ‘Rosewood Farm’ covering an area of about five hectares. However, the tycoons who buy properties in Eath Hampton usually only have the idea of avoiding heat, because the summer climate here is very pleasant. It's Mid-Autumn Festival now, and most of the residents like migratory birds have returned to more livable dwellings, so the town looks a bit deserted and empty.
When Eric just walked out of the gate, he saw Chris driving in a white BMW car, and his girlfriend Emily Brighton was sitting on the co-pilot.
The two also saw Eric, slowed down the car and greeted him before driving the car into the yard.
The gift was given to the servant, and Chris said apologetically: "Eric, it's really embarrassing. I was late. I just met an acquaintance just passing by and had to get off and say hello."
Eric hugged Chris and Emily respectively before saying: "It doesn't matter, this is not a serious date, but I'm curious about who can make you stop and say hello."
Chris smiled, and greeted the Virginia and Joanna who came over, and then said to Eric: "Remember when we first met, did you say The Wolf of Wall Street, the guy was just standard The Wolf of Wall Street, an expert in finance, I was only in Morgan Stanley, and I have worked with him for a period of time for a single business. This person's reputation with investors is not very good, but I admire his capital operation methods. "
"Oh, I am more curious now. What is his name, have I heard of it?"
"Ron Perelman," Chris said a name, and then said: "I think you should have never heard of it."
Eric is about to nod, and Chris went on to say: "However, a company he recently operated has some connections with Hollywood. Marvel Entertainment Inc., which mainly operates comic publishing, also has toy production and animation companies. "
Eric heard the name, and suddenly raised the eyebrow stopped subconsciously: "Marvel Comics. I certainly heard of this company."
"Not Marvel Comics, Marvel Entertainment Inc. is the parent company of Marvel Comics."
"Okay, don't you want to say these things. Okay, go in and have a meal," Virginia saw the two men seem to be standing outside the door chatting and reminded quickly.
"Okay, let's go in," Eric gestured helplessly to Chris, but then said: "Will tell me about this company. I am very curious."
"No problem," Chris said: "But I have another surprise for you. Well, well, let's eat first."
A group of people walked into the restaurant with a smile, and the servants had already arranged their meals on the table. Eric personally received red wine for Chris and Emily, and poured some more for himself, so he set aside wine bottle, and the two women drank the juice very intuitively.
Seeing this kind of scene, Emily Brighton lightly raised the eyebrow, glanced at her boyfriend, and some of them just stopped talking.
"They are pregnant and cannot drink," Eric noticed Emily's expression. Actively explained that he never thought of denying his children, and of course there was no need to hide it from relatives and friends.
"In fact, you can drink a little." Emily was a little surprised at Eric's calmness, and then said casually with a smile, but quickly shook his head: "However, it is still good to not drink."
Eric also smiled, and said to Chris: "Yes, Chris. Just that, Marvel Entertainment Inc. thing. Can you tell me something?"
Although the two do not meet often, Chris is very familiar with Eric: "Are you interested in this company?"
"Of course, you should see the success of the DC's" Batman "series?"
"This" Batman Returns "looks terrible to me, but I am the fans of DC Comics," Chris shook his head regretfully, but quickly turned to the topic: "If you want to win the amazement entertainment Now, it ’s not a good time. Did n’t I just say that Ron Perelman is a master of playing capital, he just bought the company and sold his home, just like the Edward you shaped in 《Pretty Woman》. I remember Ron Perelman is I spent 80 million USD three years ago to buy most of the assets of Marvel Entertainment Inc., but he did not buy these for business purposes, and in the past few years, the entertainment business has been declining, but you guess Ron Perelman these years How much money did you make from Marvel Entertainment? "
After Chris is finished, Virginia ca n’t help it: "I spent 80 million to buy it, at least half of it?"
"You are too small to look at these The Wolf of Wall Street," Chris smiled and looked at everyone: "Guess again."
Joanna smiled reservedly. Apparently she knew nothing about it and did not mean to guess.
The Emily sitting next to Chris thought for a while and said, "In terms of the return on investment of those Wall Street tycoons, I think that in three years' time, the annual profit of 30 should be doubled to 80 million to 100 million. "
"No, it's still too conservative, Eric, what do you think?" Chris looks at Eric again.
Eric shrugged: "I don't care, he doesn't earn much more than me anyway."
"Ah ..."
"Haha ..." Seeing Chris's expression as if choked, the three women laughed at the same time.
Chris also smiled and said: "This is not the same. The opportunities brought by the Gulf War are impossible for many people in their lifetime. Most of this depends on luck, but their real strength."
"Okay, Chris, do n’t go around, let everyone reveal the answer."
Chris nodded and said, "500 million USD."
"no way, so much?" Emily could not help but be surprised.
"It's true, this is the number that has been made public," Chris said firmly.
Eric also became curious: "Did you just say that Marvel Entertainment's business has been losing money, how did he make it?"
Chris said: "In the past three years, Ron Perelman used Marvel Entertainment Inc. assets as collateral, and through the bond situation, cashed out at least 500 million USD from the capital market."
"Why would anyone be so stupid to buy a company's bonds worth only 80 million USD and buy 500 million?"
"So I said that Ron Perelman is the real The Wolf of Wall Street, he sold all the corporate bonds worth 500 million USD with high capital operation methods. These bonds are now all categorized to the lowest level Once the junk bond expires, Marvel Entertainment cannot repay on time, then this company may go bankrupt and reorganize at any time, but Ron Perelman has received 500 million USD of funds for other businesses. "
Joanna could n’t help but whisper: “This should be illegal?”
Chris smiled, just made an expression you know, Emily actively explained: "If you get a closer look, it should indeed be illegal, but I have not seen a few Wall Street tycoons imprisoned between bankruptcies. However, as long as they do n’t take the lead, the law basically has little effect on these people. I think even if he is brought to court by those bondholders in the future, the compensation will be only 500 million USD. Less. "
Chris agreed with the ground, and said to Eric again: "So, Eric, if you want to win Marvel Entertainment Inc., it is not a good time now, as long as you think about it now, and you feel Ron Perelman, then you Just wait to be the wrongdoer. "
"So if you want to buy Marvel Entertainment, when do you think I should go?" Eric asked.
Chris thought for a while and said, "Now the value of Marvel Entertainment Inc. has basically been squeezed out by Ron Perelman. I think that up to two years, he will throw this company as an abandoned child, if you are really interested, I can help you collect some information, and then we wait for the right time to take action. "
"Then as soon as possible, Chris, take this as a very important thing to do," Eric solemnly said: "I have also read some amazing comics, they have more popular comic characters than DC Much more, I think the value of this company is definitely much higher than expected. "
Chris stopped his hand and glanced at Eric: "So, are you planning to buy this company?"
"Of course, I am serious."
"Well, I will take this matter to heart." Chris nodded, and everyone changed the subject immediately, because Eric is calm, everyone has nothing to avoid about the pregnancy of two women, Eric I also asked when Chris and Emily plan to get married.
"It depends on what she means, but I came to New York last time at Papa, and I hope we can at least get engaged first," Chris hearing this question was a little helpless. Emily dropped his head abnormally this time, and it seemed a bit embarrassed. (To be continued)
