After the introduction, the invited guests, in addition to relatives and friends, also have some familiar neighborhoods where the women lived in Long Island.

The birthday of the little guys party is scheduled to start at five o'clock in the afternoon. Instead of inviting a special party company, it takes the form of a buffet. After a brief greeting, Joanna takes the women to prepare dinner.

As one of New York ’s most well-known wealthy districts, Eath Hampton and Southampton have gathered a large number of wealthy people, politicians and celebrities. Although there are many middle-class residents, they can buy properties of the same size near the Eric ’s favorite manor. None of them will be ordinary people. When the women leave, Eric and a group of big men exchange business cards with each other. It is not surprising to see titles such as Chairman or XX Foundation directors on business cards.

After all, many people only met for the first time. After congratulating Eric for completing the acquisition of ABC, everyone did not take the initiative to mention this matter. Instead, they shifted the topic to the topic of economic governance that Westerners are more interested in. , Ridiculously ridicule President, slammed a certain tax policy or talked about the prospect of a certain industry and the like.

In fact, most of the time the so-called contacts are formed in this way. Everyone drinks and chats together, has a good face, and in the future, they can come up with a contact method to find each other. This is a resource. Although all of you here are older than yourself, with the experience of the two worlds, Eric is also able to handle this group of people. In many cases, it can also bring about the initiative of some topics. Gradually, everyone present Ignore the fact that Eric is under 25 years old.

As everyone's attention was focused on Eric, the topic unconsciously shifted to the movie.

Hearing the concerns of senior Manager people named Pierre Clark from Merrill Lynch in the introduction just now about the increasing scale of film investment in recent years, Eric said: "From 《Gone with the Wind》 in the golden age of Hollywood to" Ben-Hur "which appeared in the 1950s and 60s "Cleopatra", "Heaven’s Gate" in the early 1980s, Hollywood never cut off the production of the so-called "blockbuster" movie, and there are many big production films that have made Film Studio in trouble, such as "Cleopatra" and "Heaven’s Gate", If before the 1990s, Film Studio became more and more inclined to make blockbuster movies, it is indeed a worrying thing, but today ’s entertainment industry is very different even compared to ten years ago, globalization will become The inevitable trend is that the overseas income of Hollywood movies accounts for a higher and higher proportion of total income. This means that if Film Studio wants to continue to maintain its dominant position in this transformation, it must produce films that are relatively restricted by regional culture, and CG Special Effects Movies and large-scale action movies are among the most guaranteed types. I ’m sure that the total cost of production and distribution will be around 100 million USD in the next ten years. Blockbuster movies will become the mainstream of several Film Studios in Hollywood. The vast overseas market and more and more channels of derivative benefits can also ensure that these movies achieve sufficient profits. "

When everyone is thinking deeply, another short-skinned middle-aged man asks again: "Eric, why not comedy and horror movies, these films also do not have too many cultural restrictions, you I have watched the original "Home Alone", 《Pretty Woman》 and "The Others". The quality of these films is very good, and the cost is low, and the return on investment is more than ten times. "

Eric remembers this middle-aged man ’s name as Kenneth Norton. The business card reads Chairman of an unknown company. He smiled and shook his head and said, "Mr. Norton. You only saw the success of the videos" Home Alone ", but you see Unexpectedly, Hollywood has at least dozens of hundreds of comedy or horror movies that have the honor of appearing on the cinema channel every year. The final result is dismal, and even the cost cannot be recovered, let alone sold to the global market. Blockbuster movie It ’s different. At least until the global market is saturated with demand for this type of film, these films are still very popular overseas because of the big star scenes, even if they lose in the country. Take last year ’s "Bridge Mountain", Because of the impact of "Jurassic Park". At this moment when the production cost was as high as the bubble began to rise, the Nasdaq index broke out across the board, Eric can just use the next few years to gradually cash out, and after 2 years, the Internet bubble burst. It can also be cheap Buy back the equity in the digital field and Firefly software.

Now speaking your plans in front of these people is a kind of pre-heating. Although the number of people sitting is not large, Eric believes. In a few days, these messages will spread throughout Wall Street.

Merrill Lynch and Morgan Stanley belong to one of the well-known investment banks of Wall Street. Last month, they also participated in bidding of Firefly bond issuance, but in the end Morgan Stanley obtained the underwriting right through good cooperation with Firefly.

Pierre Clark realizes that if it can match with them, the company can obtain the rights to issue shares of one of the two companies. Then he can at least get a Vice Chairman position from Midland Securities. However, he just wanted to continue to say something, looked at everyone around him, only to realize that this occasion is not suitable, but thought that Eric will continue to stay in the recent period. New York, so I decided that it is best to live with Eath Hampton with my family during this time, so that I can have more contact with Eric, maybe I can negotiate this in advance, maybe after all. The conditions that Morgan Stanley can provide, Midland Securities certainly can also come up with.

Everyone chatted casually. Time passed by minute and second, and a group of guests came one after another. Near party time, the aroma of barbecue gradually floated in the manor, and some children brought by the guests were in the manor. running in and out.

The little figure took a bunch of grilled chicken wings from Elizabeth. Elizabeth squatted down and whispered a few words, and the little guy stumbled towards Eric.

"Papa, Papa ..."

Emma's naive and crisp series of shouts made a group of big men stunned. Then they all looked at the little guy coincidentally. They all knew that Eric had two children, but they didn't know what happened to this little girl.

Eric hasn't had time to explain yet, Emma has rushed to Eric. Grab the sofa arm and lift the chicken wings in the other hand high towards Eric: "Papa, here you are, chicken wings."

Eric touched the little head of Emma and smiled: "Emma is so good, but Papa ca n’t eat now, you can eat it yourself."

"Emma. Do n’t be hungry, you eat," Emma tried to pass the chicken wings towards Eric again. Eric looked at the little guy who did n’t achieve his goal. The string of greasy chicken wings fell directly on the Eric trousers.

"Yeah, it's off," Emma didn't realize the consequences of the oil stains on Eric's trousers. He grabbed the sofa arm probe and tried to grab it.

Eric was worried about the chicken wings slipping onto the sofa and stained with a layer of oil. He quickly picked up the chicken wings and got up and said sorry to everyone. He took the little guy's hand and got up to leave.

Hand over Emma to Joanna for care. Eric walked towards the villa, intending to change his pants. Elizabeth saw the movement of Eric and also crept in.

Eric walked into the bedroom, found a new pair of pants from the closet, turned his head to Elizabeth leaning against the door and said: "Would n’t you deliberately celebrate the little boy ’s birthday?"

Elizabeth looked at Eric and took off his trousers directly, in front of oneself changed his clothes, and said with a red face: "I just happened to be in New York recently, so I came here. I did n’t expect to meet Drew. I won't come. "

"Then you should stop talking to her," Eric said with a smile.

Elizabeth has received lady education from private schools since childhood, and he does n’t even speak bad language. When fighting with Drew, it feels like Eric is like a little rookie who has just walked out of the novice village. The god's costume is large and choking. This is basically looking for abuse. The most important thing is that when you are abused, you often have to exhale yourself when crying, which is too unreasonable.

Elizabeth felt the ridicule in Eric's tone, but just gave him a blank look.

Eric threw the bloated trousers into the bathroom, then walked out and said, "Okay, just tell me anything. If I do n’t say anything, I ’m going out?"

"This matter was originally wanted to ask you the last time Oscar," Elizabeth slightly tweaked, but still said: "You haven't said it before, wouldn't you run paper media?"

"Oh, this thing," Eric suddenly understood, and asked with a smile: "How many newspapers are in your old man interested in me?"

Elizabeth shrugged and said: "Yeah, anyway, I just inquire about it. If you don't mean it, I will not mention it."

Eric took the chair next to the dressing table in the bedroom and sat down, pointing to the large bed next to it, saying: "Actually, at the reception after the noon conference, I asked if Berkshire of Warren Buffett was interested in taking over Several newspaper. "

Elizabeth went to the bed and sat down and asked, "So, do you really want to sell those newspaper?"

“Overall, I ’m still a person who says what I will do,” Eric laughed.

Elizabeth was an example of Eric's rebellion, but he unconsciously retorted, saying: "Did you talk to Buffett?"

"No," Eric shook his head and said, "However, if you want to listen to the truth, I don't recommend News Corp to connect these newspaper."

"Why, or is your opinion that online media will replace traditional media?"

"Almost, maybe you do n’t know yet, now the cumulative number of visitors to Yahoo web portal has reached 20,000, and the average daily number of visitors is now more than 50,000. I ’m going to increase my focus on Yahoo again The investment in the information section. "Eric said, jokingly:" Why don't you help, how about recommending a suitable Chief Editor from News Corp? "

Elizabeth is a little surprised by the data given by Eric. News Corp Australia, United Kingdom and North America all add up to 14 million newspaper users, and there are no more than 5 million. If Yahoo really has as many visitors per day as 50,000, maybe Eric The situation mentioned: "How come there are so many?" (To be continued.)
