As I said, the twins came in one after the other. One of them held a stack of newspaper on the dining table outside the restaurant, and the other handed the cordless phone to Eric: "Master, Mr. Hansson's phone . "
Eric ignored Aniston ’s weird expression after hearing the twins ’address, pointed to the fried egg in the pan and gave the position to Natasha, and placed the microphone in his ear and walked out of the kitchen.
Chris called Eric early in the morning, because it was just yesterday, on November 20th, after raging around Southeast Asia countries, international hot money finally pointed the finger at Southeast Asia, the most abundant piece except Japan Fatty South Korea.
On the first day, several major foreign exchange markets sold the Korean won, which caused the Korean won to depreciate by 3.1%.
The local time of South Korea is 17 hours earlier than the west coast of United States. Although Los Angeles is now more than 8 o'clock in the morning on the 21st, South Korea is already 1 a.m. on the 22nd. When Chris called Eric, the second day of South Korea's international hot money attack was over. Although the central bank of South Korea started to organize a counterattack, the two-day period, the Korean won exchange rate fell 6.5 percent uncontrollably.
After the delivery of short foreign exchange contracts for the Thai baht and the Indonesian rupiah, Eric did not let Chris ignore other Southeast Asia currency targets, and all the 300 million USD funds left in Southeast Asia were pressed on the Korean won.
Although the outbreak of the Southeast Asia economic crisis has heightened the vigilance of Asian countries, the layout of a few months, the principal of 300 million USD, and the accumulated Korean shorts still exceed 1.1 billion USD. It can be said that this is the last piece of fat that Firefly can get in this Southeast Asia economic crisis.
After chatting with Chris for a while, Eric returned to the restaurant, sat down at the table, and flipped through several copies of today ’s newspaper for news related to won.
In two days, the exchange rate of the won to USD fell from the original 957: 1 to 1019: 1.
Eric remembers that the exchange rate of the Korean won against the USD was lower than 1700: 1 at the lowest point, and the depreciation rate exceeded 70%. In this way, it seems that this is just the beginning.
If you can accurately grasp the delivery of the Korean short contract when the lowest value of the depreciation of the Korean won is completed, the short contract with the value of 1.1 billion USD, except for the principal, Korean won interest and other various expenses, the profit that Firefly can obtain is still possible. Reached 400 million USD. Of course, this can only be regarded as the best prediction. In the face of the ever-changing foreign exchange market, it is difficult to maximize the benefits during actual operation. Eventually, it is very satisfactory to be able to double this 300 million USD Eric.
Feeling that breakfast was placed in front of me. Eric closed a newspaper in his hand. He planned to eat breakfast first, and when he looked up, he saw Aniston sitting on the other side, looking at him curiously, just walking away from him. Natasha.
Eric smiled and asked, "What's wrong?"
Aniston quickly withdrew his eyes and shook his head: "No, nothing."
Drew sitting opposite Aniston looked at the twins sitting on the other side of the dining table and said with a smile: "They are also Eric's woman Oh."
Aniston felt the instigation in the girl ’s tone, and immediately raised her eyebrows, fighting back: "Much prettier than you."
Eric looked up and swept the two women with warning: "Nà, what I just said."
"I didn't want to quarrel Oh, but also wanted to introduce Jenny to Natasha and ... Natasha," the girl immediately defended.
The chick immediately said, "I plan to stop saying a word to you today, this is the last sentence."
Eric also remembered that Aniston did n’t know the twins at the moment. I looked at the two girls on the opposite side and was about to introduce the girl. I noticed that the twins had a silver necklace and two necklace pendants It is the letter 'N' and one is the subtitle 'E'.
After looking around for a few times, Eric asked: "necklace is very beautiful, should the two pendants be the first letter of your name?"
Natasha wearing the subtitle ‘N’ necklace nodded and said, “Yes, Master, this is a birthday gift from Ms. Pacula to us. She said it makes it easier to distinguish our sisters.”
"Oh, I did n’t notice it. Sorry, remind me next birthday and give you a gift. However, it looks really better now, you are a sister, Natasha, then She is the younger sister, Eve, um, Eve Gonnia? "
"Master, just call me Eve," the girl wearing the subtitle "E" said. The accent and tone were obviously different from that of her sister. Eric realized that maybe her sister was talking most of the time before , He failed to distinguish the two girls by accent.
Nodded with a smile, Eric pointed to Aniston and said, "This is Jenny, you must know, Jane, this is Natasha and Eve."
Aniston has been secretly paying attention to the things around Eric in recent years, and naturally knows the twins who often appear around Drew. However, despite not dealing with the girl, Aniston politely greeted the twins, but the curiosity in his eyes remained.
It was already November 21st. After having breakfast, Eric and the two women discussed the matter of going to Thanksgiving in the next few days. Then they rushed to work at Playa Vista.
With the wonderful imagination and warm theme, "Monsters, Inc." was almost unanimously praised by film critic after it was released.
Although there is no lack of sour media claiming that "Monsters, Inc." has completely lost the style of Disney animation, just another Pixar work, but this can't hinder the fact that "Monsters, Inc." has swept 62.57 million USD Box Office in the first three days of the weekend .
The release of Box Office data not only broke the fantasy in many people's hearts, but also cheered the entire Firefly. Because of the success of "Monsters, Inc.", it indicates that Firefly Group will have two studios that can produce excellent 3D Animation movies, or, if nearly half of Blue Sky Studios's equity is counted, this number should be two and a half.
In the next few years, the speed of Firefly making 3D Animation movies will achieve an average frequency of one per year, which is definitely a dream of any Film Studio in Hollywood.
Maybe stimulated by the success of "Monsters, Inc.". In the next few days, Paramount PicturesCEOSherry · Lansing also said in an interview that Paramount animation will also begin to test the production of 3D Animation.
The Hollywood animation film market is far from being saturated, and Eric is not worried about the threat from Paramount, and does not say whether Paramount animation can really complete the 3D transformation under the obstruction of a group of Hand-Drawn Animation divisions to maintain their own industry status . Even if they succeed, Viacom is destined to be incomparable to Firefly Group in the development of derivative profit chains such as peripheral products and theme parks.
In the following days, accompanied by Drew and Aniston, they passed Thanksgiving, and Eric rushed to New York on the day of the fourth Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show on the 27th.
He did not specifically come for Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, but, after several date adjustments, the time of AmazonIPO was finally determined on December 1.
Since the second quarter of this year, due to the huge attention paid to the Fireflyer player ’s hunger marketing strategy, Amazon ’s performance has climbed all the way, and the quarterly turnover has increased from 87million USD in the first quarter of this year to 310 million USD in the third quarter. Wall Street expects that the operating income of Amazon in the last quarter will exceed 400 million USD, and the annual operating income will also be close to 900 million USD.
Although due to the continued high investment strategy, Amazon's financial statements this year are doomed to a loss.
However, this does not prevent Wall Street from optimistic about this fast-growing e-commerce website.
After several months of negotiations, Jeff Bezos and Morgan Stanley in charge of AmazonIPO finally decided to determine the valuation of Amazon as 4500 million USD, the proportion of new shares issued was 10%, and plans to raise funds for 450 million USD.
In fact, 450 million USD funds, Firefly investment can be easily raised, but everyone also understands that the listing of Amazon, in addition to Jeff · Bezos in order to avoid losing control, does not want to continue to sell shares to Firefly, or for listing After that, capital operations such as mergers and acquisitions can be carried out more conveniently.
As the most turbulent period of the Southeast Asia financial crisis gradually passed, a large amount of hot money began to flow back from Southeast Asia countries, and the United States stock market, which had experienced several months of fluctuations, began to rise again without any decline. Therefore, almost all media are very optimistic about the listing operation of Amazon, and even some people have set their sights on Yahoo, the most important Internet company in the Firefly system.
