Walking into Cliff Peak Manor again, looking at the streamlined villa on the cliff side like a craft, Larry · Ellison still has strong envy and longing in his eyes.

Unfortunately, at first, he was willing to exchange all his real estate in Malibu with Eric for this manor, but they were rejected by the other party. At this time, Eric's net worth was almost ten times that of him. Is infinitely close to zero.

Eric walked into the villa hall with Larry · Ellison and Steve · Jobs, noticed the expression of Larry · Ellison, and ridiculed: "Larry, your property in Malibu seems to be more and more, and you are willing to take it all Am I changing? "

Larry · Ellison knew whether Eric was joking, or nodded without hesitation, and said with a smile: "Of course, if you want, I can call a lawyer now and let them handle the handover."

"Oh, you guys, you are really welcome."

Eric said, taking the two to the reception area by the glass curtain wall, feel free to ask Jobs sitting on the sofa: "Steve, what do you think of this place?"

Jobs glanced around, and said unkindly: "If it is me, I will clean up all the at sixes and sevens furniture by the curtain wall."

The glass curtain wall of the villa near the sea is divided into three parts according to the layout of the furniture. The east side is two hanging space chairs, the middle is a row of couches, and the west side is where the Eric three people sit. A reception area. If this villa is a private place, removing all the furniture and facing the endless sea level will undoubtedly give people a broader view, but as a personal residence, it will appear empty and deserted.

Jobs will say so, it still stems from his extreme pursuit of perfectionism. It is said that because of the finicky choice of furniture, many Jobs apartments are empty.

Eric smiled and said: "If all the furniture is removed, we can only sit on the floor and chat now."

Jobs shrugged: "That might be good."

That said, the sound of da da ’s footsteps sounded, the twins walked over with coffee, one brought three cups of brewed coffee in front of three people, and the other placed a coffee pot and sugar cubes on the middle coffee table After finishing the milkshake, Natasha next to Eric raised his face and looked at him, and asked softly, "Master, do you need anything else?"

Eric shook his head and said: "No, you are busy."

Looking all the way with the twin tall and slender's figure until it disappears, Larry · Ellison withdrew his eyes and praised: "Eric, I envy you more now, where did you find them?"

Eric joked: "You are already old man, so don't try these ideas, be careful being hollowed out."

"Hey, you guys, you are really welcome," Larry · Ellison simply returned the sentence from Eric not long ago.

Smiling a few words, Eric turned to Jobs and talked about the business: "So, Steve, have you decided to return to Apple?"

"No," Jobs shook his head and said, "I'm still thinking."

Eric was n’t surprised when he picked up the coffee, he asked, "Then are you here today?"

"This is the case, Eric," Larry · Ellison said: "Steve is looking forward to regaining control of Apple, but he also hopes to get some protection."

Eric's eyes flashed and said, "Larry, I don't understand."

This time, Jobs took the initiative to answer: "Eric, Apple ’s PC business is already very dangerous. After your acquisition of Apple, in order to give the company more opportunities for buffering, I hope to get the MP3 player ’s patent. To expand the Apple product line. "

Eric had already had some hunches in my heart just now. Hearing the confirmation of Jobs, he shook his head without hesitation: "Sorry, Steve, I can't promise you these things."

Jobs said, "If this is the case, I may not return to Apple anymore."

Eric laughed and said, "Steve, this is not my business."

"No, Eric, I can see that you are very interested in Apple, like," Jobs paused and continued: "Like the original Pixar, otherwise, you will not give Larry Set up such investment conditions. "

"Steve, I admit that I am very interested in Apple and you," Eric said: "However, this is just interest. If this investment is not reached, I will not have any losses, even even Can invest that money in companies with brighter prospects. "

Jobs was temporarily speechless and even glared angrily at Eric.

Larry · Ellison is aware of his friend's personality, worried that he will say too much, and quickly said: "Eric, but you should also know that if Firefly electronically adheres to the MP3 player patent, single hegemony It will definitely be subject to federal antitrust investigations. Like Intel, it has licensed its X86 chip architecture to companies such as AMD. "

"Firefly Electronics is still very small. Even if it is an antitrust investigation, it must be a long time ago," Eric still smiled and shook his head, taking a sip of coffee, and said: "And, Intel ’s X86 The architecture was originally mandated by IBM to be authorized by other companies, and it was not voluntary. "

Larry · Ellison and Steve · Jobs did not give up so easily. What else do I want to say? Eric waved his hand and said to Jobs: "Steve, the reason why I proposed such investment conditions to Larry is that I think You can save Apple. So, what you need to do is to make this company come back to life after Larry completes the acquisition of Apple, instead of busy looking for other outlets now. If you do n’t have the confidence to revive Apple yourself, you will definitely need it Some guarantees are only willing to go back, then, I will now withdraw the investment commitments of the previous day. "

Jobs stared at Eric for a while, and suddenly stood up and said: "So, well, I think I should have left."

After finishing this sentence, Jobs went straight out.

Eric sat on the sofa without moving, smiling as Jobs left.

Larry · Ellison got up helplessly and shouted: "Hey, stop, you guys, why can't you be a little patient."

If Jobs completely ignored Larry · Ellison, he continued to walk outside the villa.

Looking at the dilemma of Larry · Ellison, Eric put down the coffee cup, got up and took a picture on the shoulder of Larry · Ellison, said: "Okay, Larry, he agreed, so you still go back and continue to raise funds Right. "

Larry · Ellison of course knows that Jobs is more proud than many people think. After Eric ’s words of the apocalypse just now, Jobs will definitely not let go of the reserved requirement to obtain the MP3 player patent authorization.

"Steve cares about Apple more than anyone else. I will go back earlier as soon as just knows, but," shook his head and smiled wryly, Larry · Ellison said again: "Eric, Steve is very vengeful, you will definitely not follow again What good looks did he get here. "

"Well, I really do n’t care. It ’s hard to get a good face from this guy," Eric shook his head and said, "You, there is a movie premiere tonight. Don't come to join in the excitement? "

"consider as finished, eat together next time," Larry · Ellison shook his head, said: "I still go back to San Francisco with Steve."

Eric nodded, no longer kept, and personally sent Larry · Ellison to the manor ’s parking lot. Jobs had already got into the car and did not say goodbye, like a sulky child. Eric didn't mind. He sent the two to leave and turned to walk towards the villa. They happened to meet the twins and walked from the door of the manor holding a box.

Looking at the twins approaching, Eric asked casually: "Are you new clothes?"

The Natasha on the left opened the box in his hand and showed it to Eric, saying: "It's the evening dress of the host and Boss, Givenchy just sent it over there."

Eric saw a black suit inside, nodded and said, "Take it in, Oh, did Drew wake up?"

"I don't know, when we came out to get clothes, Boss was still asleep."

Eric looked at his watch, it was just past two o'clock in the afternoon. A few days ago, when Eric attended the Chris wedding in Maryland, the girl also flew to Europe to deploy the release of "Casino Royale", which was only earlier than Eric. One day back to Los Angeles, these days are still in the stage of time lag, and I will sleep for a few hours at noon every day.

I thought that this afternoon would be spent on entertaining Larry · Ellison and Steve · Jobs. I didn't expect that Jobs would pick it up in a blink of an eye.

With the twins in the villa, Eric did not disturb the girl ’s sleep, but got into the study and read the Iron Man script that Marvel had just finished.

At four o'clock in the evening, when the girl got up, the two put on their dresses and set off for the Hollywood Avenue of Stars.

Tonight is the premiere of Firefly's summer first part blockbuster "Con Air". The film will be released at the same time as The Lion King2 in The Day After Tomorrow and Paramount animation.

Simply put, "Con Air" is a story that occurs after retired soldiers who have been imprisoned for negligent homicide are loaded into a plane full of evil and unforgivable murderers. However, although the story is ingenious, the core still imitates tough action movies like "Die Hard".

Seriously, Eric is not too optimistic about the commercial potential of this traditional Hollywood personal heroic film, and since 《Charlie's Angels》, "Mr. & Mrs. Smith", etc. have adopted a more aesthetic and visually impactful oriental action design, North America fans have obviously Also gradually lost interest in this type of film.

However, with the increasing scale of Firefly Group, Eric can no longer have enough energy to intervene in the production of all films, and it is inevitable to devolve the production power to its Film Studio. The three films in this summer's summer season, "Con Air", "Finding Nemo" and "George of the Jungle", strictly speaking, in addition to the initial project review, in terms of production, Eric did not interfere too much.

"Well, I really do n’t care. It ’s difficult to get a good face from this guy," Eric shook his head and said, "You, there is a movie premiere tonight. Don't come to join in the excitement? "

"consider as finished, have dinner next time," Larry · Ellison shook his head and said, "I'll go back to San Francisco with Steve."

Eric nodded, no longer retained, personally sent Larry · Ellison to the parking lot of the manor, Jobs had already got into the car, and did not say goodbye. Eric didn't mind either. They sent the two to leave and turned towards the villa. They happened to meet the twins and came across the manor door holding a box.

As the twins approached, Eric asked casually: "Are you new clothes?"
