Remember [lnmao.org] in one second, fast update, no pop-up window, free to read!
Since the establishment of the alliance plan in 1993, after nearly three years of close cooperation, with the assistance of Cisco hardware technical support and Yahoo platform promotion resources, AOL is the first to provide users with high-speed ADSL broadband access In terms of access to services, the number of AOL users has risen to 7600,000 in the past three years due to civilian tariffs and stable network services, accounting for nearly 30% of the market share of the United States Internet access service industry. The strong expansion momentum has made the traditional slow response. The incumbent telecommunications operators are losing ground. ?? One ~ IndoMTL.com ~ Therefore, unlike the relatively low-key listing of Nokia, the IPO plan of AOL has attracted a lot of attention from the date of its announcement.
In recent days, in addition to Eric himself, executives of AOL allies, including Cisco's CEO John · Chambers, Yahoo's CEO Ian · Genier, have also rushed to New York to cheer for their stock issuance ceremony platform.
Eric is also busy with all kinds of entertainment and has no time for him.
So until January 29th.
Since the night before, company executives, guests, media reporters, stock traders and other people who participated in the AOL IPO bell ringing ceremony have filled the NASDAQ stock trading hall.
The number of new shares issued by AOL this time is 15 million shares, accounting for 10% of the total share capital, the price per share is 33USD, and the planned financing is 4.9500 million USD.
However, due to the strong reaction of the market, after six long rounds of public inquiry, the opening price of AOL directly rose to 42USD, a 27% increase relative to the issue price. When the final price was determined, the trading floor was full of joy.
"The opening price is 42USD, but the issue price is only 33USD. Does n’t that mean that AOL lost all of this 15 million stock at once ... well, at least 100 million USD, why is the price not set higher? What about? "
At party after the IPO ceremony, Cindy · Crawford who came to join the crowd asked Eric.
Eric let the woman hold herself and raised a toast to an executive in Morgan Stanley who nodded and explained: "According to the current stock price, the market value of AOL is close to 7 billion USD, relatively speaking, This difference in 100 million USD is negligible. Supplying stocks to investment banks and institutional investors at a lower price of 33 USD will make them more motivated to operate the AOL listing. At the same time, the stock price surge on the first day can also stimulate stockholders ’ The confidence of AOL has laid a good foundation for the company's further financing in the future. These potential benefits can not be bought by 100 million USD. "
Cindy nodded, seemingly incomprehensible, "Then do you think I can buy some AOL stocks now, can I appreciate in the future?"
"Of course," Eric nodded and smiled at Cindy: "Your small purse should be very popular in the past two years, then try to invest in some technology stocks, not limited to AOL, Microsoft, Cisco, Intel or something It ’s okay, now you can get into 10 million, and in a few years you might become a billionaire.? "
"So powerful," Cindy blinked and asked, "So, what if I lose?"
Eric does not matter: "If you lose, you will lose. If you are so capable, you will definitely not be hungry."
"Abominable man, you suggested that I buy stocks, I have no sense of responsibility," Cindy gently nipped at the waist of Eric, a little bit of resentment, and then hated again: "I will take all The money is invested in the stocks you said, and in case of loss, go to the Los Angeles Lai Manor. "
Eric said: "If this is the case, should I get a point if I earn it?"
Cindy does not hesitate: "Okay, how much do you want?"
Eric said seriously: "Half, my financial advice is still worth the price."
"Hum," Cindy glared at Eric, remembered something, looked at the crowd around him, then lowered his voice and asked ridiculously: "I heard that you are looking for a little girl recently?"
Eric immediately shook his head and sighed: "It seems that I will not be able to cooperate with your Brokerage Firm in the future. It is not reliable at all. Anything can be heard."
Although I knew that Eric was kidding, Cindy explained: "No, I just went to the company the day before yesterday. When I saw someone collating information, I asked John. He said that it was made by you. You plan to do it again. What? "
"I need a few girls in this movie," Eric did not conceal, and said: "It happens that I have chosen three, one has not been decided yet, and the other two, one is at New York, One in Milan, coming back tomorrow, do you want to meet? "
Cindy does not matter: "What do I see them do?"
Eric said: "You are a senior, maybe you can bring them."
"Then let them grab my rice bowl?"
"You still plan to work for another twenty years?"
Cindy does n’t hide his thoughts, saying: "Of course I will, as long as conditions permit, people who do n’t work will get older faster."
......
At New York in February, the temperature in the early morning was at least minus five degrees. Looking out from the high-rise mansion at the 6th Avenue exit, Central Park showed a gloomy scene, although sitting in the heated room, you can still feel it Chill outside.
Eric was still in Australia in the midsummer season a few days ago, so this feeling is very wonderful right now.
The Cindy, wearing a tight black sweater and jeans, walked out of the kitchen with the breakfast for two, placed the breakfast on the round table by the floor-to-ceiling windows, and looked at Eric, who was staring at the laptop screen intently, curiously: What do you see? "
"Very funny little guy," Eric smiled and turned the laptop over and pushed it in front of Cindy, said: "Look, it's a little goblin again.?"
Cindy looked at the laptop screen. This is an email. She read it subconsciously: "Dear Mr. Williams, hello, I am Miranda Kerr. I am honored to receive your invitation ..."
After just reading a few sentences, Cindy loses its interest. Looking at the opposite Eric who has eaten breakfast, he said: "Nothing special?"
Eric took a sip of hot milk, put down the cup, and said, "You will talk about it after reading it."
Cindy shrugged and turned his attention to the e-mail on the screen. This is an e-mail written by a girl named Miranda Kerr to Eric. The girl expressed it very gracefully I am excited and grateful to Eric for inviting myself to participate in the movie, and then politely raised the hope that after this cooperation, I can get more job opportunities to ensure my schooling and living expenses after moving to United States. Just after reading this email, Cindy didn't feel anything special. If she was herself, she probably said the same.
However, Cindy soon realized what it was, and looked up and asked Eric: "This, little guy, how old are you?"
"Thirteen years old."
Cindy smiled suddenly, and at the age of 13, he could be so careful that he was so drip-proof that it was really a goblin. The girl hopes that after this cooperation, she will get more job opportunities. After that, she can even contact Eric, a super powerful network.
"Oh, if you want to agree, this little girl may even depend on you in the future."
Eric shrugged: "For men, this should be considered a happy worry."
"Well, you said yesterday that you are going to meet two other little guys today, is that also the case?"
"I have n’t seen it yet. I do n’t know until I meet," Eric said: "However, you know my vision, and the person I pick is definitely not bad."
Cindy said: "I was suddenly curious."
"I asked them to eat at home at noon, and you will come back at that time."
"Okay," Cindy nodded.
She is currently catching up with the production of the second season of "America's Next Top Model", but shoots works in Manhattan, not far from Eric's residence.
After breakfast, I sent Cindy to leave. Eric read the email again with great interest. After thinking about it, I returned an email and accepted Miranda Kerr ’s request. He was very curious in his heart and wanted to see what level this little goblin could evolve in the future.
After running around these days continuously, I finally got a little more leisure. Eric did n’t go anywhere in the morning. At home I watched the newly revised "Rush Hour" script. Although "Rumble in the Bronx" has not been released yet, "Rush Hour" Officially approved, the first budget is 30 million USD, and the new line has signed contracts with two leading actors Jack Cheng and Chris · Tucker.
The plot of "Rush Hour" is very simple. The main selling point of the film is actually the performance of the two protagonists full of strong personal style. This is also the ridiculously high remuneration of the two protagonists in the original time and space, and even caused the sequel to be delayed many times. the reason. In order to avoid this situation from happening again, Eric also allowed the new line to sign a trilogy option contract with the two leading actors in advance, which stipulated the sequel pay standard, in order to avoid the company from losing the initiative in the sequel pay negotiation in the future.
After reading script and sending the amendments back to Los Angeles via email, the time has come to noon unconsciously.
Eric was too lazy to make his own lunch. He was about to call the nearby restaurant and let the other party send him some lunch. He heard the doorbell ringing.
I looked at my watch and it was only half past eleven, half an hour before the appointment. Westerners are very focused on the concept of time. It is not that the sooner you are, the better. Eric thought it was Cindy and came back in advance, opened the talker and asked with a smile: "I came back so early?"
The other side hesitated for a moment, and a girl with a hoarse voice asked in an anxious voice: "Is it ... Mr. Williams?"
"Huh?"
"I, we are Gisele · Bündchen and Alessandra · Ambrosio."
Eric was silent for a while, opened the door and said, "Come in."
After a few minutes, Eric opened the door and looked helplessly at the two girls with green faces outside the door.
From the list of newcomers sent from several professional model Brokerage Firm, Eric only found Gisele · Bündchen and Alessandra · Ambrosio, and there is no other big figure of Adriana Lima in Victoria’s Secret. Only picked these two.
However, he originally asked two girls and their manager to come together, but now the situation is very obvious, Brokerage Firm must have sent these two girls and left.
Oh!
Are you really a good person?
Is it really a bad person?
Eric at sixes and sevens, with emotion, said to the two girls sideways: "Come in."
The two women were like obedient kittens, quietly and submissively walked into the entrance, looking at the spotless living room, but their footsteps hesitated again.
Eric closed the door and said: "No need to change shoes."
The two women stepped into the living room. After getting the Eric signal, they sat down on the sofa together.
Eric poured two glasses of juice and handed them over, and looked at the two girls again.
Despite careful makeup, it is still difficult to hide the greenness on her face, but both girls already have the figure of tall and slender, especially Gisele · Bündchen. , The height is almost equivalent to Eric.
The New York is freezing cold outdoors, but the heating in the room is fully turned on. Although the girl who loves beauty must not wear too much, but at this time, the two girls who were also wearing short trench coats soon exuded a slight sweat on their foreheads.
Eric pointed to the hanger at the entrance and said: "If it's hot, you can take off the windbreaker and hang it there."
The two girls nodded together, got up, took off their trench coats, hung them on a hanger, then came back and sat down quietly.
Eric is almost crying and laughing.
In the original time and space, the achievements of Gisele · Bündchen and Alessandra · Ambrosio in the fashion industry are definitely much higher than Miranda Kerr.
But at this time, compared with the little shrewdness that Miranda Kerr showed in the email in the morning, Eric only felt that he was facing two frightened little quails.
"What about your manager?" Eric sits casually on the single sofa next to it, and is somewhat disappointed.
Noting the disappointment on Eric's face, both women's expressions flashed for a moment. Although Gisele and Alessandra are the newcomers of img and elite Brokerage Firm, but before they came, the instructions they received from the two Brokerage Firmboss were similar, this meeting, either, one step to the sky, or, just like many newcomers, continue to cook .
Several major international professional model Brokerage Firm find hundreds of newcomers from all over the world every year, only a few of them can stand out.
Brazil with two girls is the most competitive country in this industry. Brazil has a very common professional model training mechanism. For Brazilian girls, they want to get out of Latin America and become the only way to become professional model. As for many well-known professional models, they are always used to claiming that they are shopping on a certain day, accidentally found by scouts, and then pacing Sean Lau, which is basically nonsense.
For the two girls in front of me, although they did n’t know each other before, their life trajectory is similar to that of most Brazilian girls holding professional model dreams. They started receiving professional professional model training from around ten years old. Thirteen or four years old, I submitted photos to major Brokerage Firm, or participated in various professional model selection competitions, and I was lucky enough to be signed. Only a small part, and this very few want to go to the famous professional model or even With supermodel, the odds are even slimmer.
This is why the two girls will be so careful in front of Eric.
They are not Erics who know the future like this, and they are even less likely to know where they are in another time and space. At this time, they are just two green girls who have just walked out of Brazil and holding their dreams. The big opportunity came to me, and it was no accident to behave carefully. (To be continued.)
