Chapter 580: Night talk
When Eric and Buffett walked out of the study, the time was already more than 12 in the morning. Although many guests wanted to wait for Eric and Buffett to show up again after the show, but the party ended, these people had to be disappointed. go away.
At this time, in addition to the party staff who were cleaning up the scene at the party, only the main executives of the fireflies and the women who did not know where to go were left.
Eric and Buffett just walked down the stairs, and Jeffrey and others who chatted in the living room greeted them.
Cross the side. Although I really wanted to know the result immediately, everyone still politely sent Buffett to leave.
When Buffett’s car left the manor, Eric shrugged at the crowd who immediately asked for expression: “Buffy has the intention to sell abc, but we have a lot of price differences.”
After this sentence is finished, everyone has not shown any disappointment. Of course, I am not excited about Buffett’s intention to sell abc. It involves a tens of billions of dollars in big transactions. If one night is settled, it is a strange thing. thing.
Eric told other executives to leave, leaving only Michael Lynn, Jeffrey, Kasenberg, and Frank Wells, the four giants of the Firefly Films. Five people came to the living room where everyone just chatted. Sit down, Eric saw Drew, who had replaced his evening gown in t-shirt shorts, and probed his head in the living room. He said, "Let's talk for a while, let's go to rest."
Although you are the same word in English as you, the expressions of the other four people have become sisters in an instant. They all know that Eric’s 'you' refers to you rather than you, so even a more innocent Jeffrey’s desire to admire Eric’s beauty.
Drew slyly nodded: "Well, do you want coffee, let me let Natasha get it?"
Although many people can notice the Russian twins in the villa tonight, Eric will not want to invite the sisters to stimulate the four great men. Pointing at the coffee machine in the corner of the living room: "So late, don't let them do anything, you come."
Drew made a face to Eric. But still very obedient to go to the coffee machine busy.
Taking advantage of the neutral space of Xiao Nizi's coffee, Eric simply said the result of his conversation with Buffett to the four people.
"...This is roughly the case. I also gave the firefly's acquisition plan, and then," Eric spreads his hand: "I haven't settled anything."
Although I understand that the cash acquisition plan is no longer feasible, Eric has proposed a wholly-owned acquisition plan that has already been drafted. Just as Eric heard the reaction of Buffett's plan, Buffett refused the first time. Although both people are very clear in their hearts, their respective acquisition plans are not the bottom line of the two sides, but no one can make any concessions in the first informal contact.
simply put. The only thing that Eric and Buffett have tonight is that they have both intentions to carry out the deal, so a long saw may have just begun.
After Eric said, the five people in the living room were briefly silenced, each digesting the information Eric had just revealed.
Drew cooked the coffee, gently placed a few cups of coffee on the coffee table in front of several people, and then came over and kissed Eric's cheek, carefully covering the door and leaving the living room.
After a while, Kasenberg first said: "Eric. I think the biggest problem is that Buffett does not recognize the actual market value of fireflies, which is not surprising. Although our profit last year is already comparable to Time Warner. But the main profit comes from the film and its derivative periphery, and most people know that the film business is very ups and downs. But Buffett has always been known for his investment in conservative, so his views are not representative of everyone, I think if If we want to stop falling in this deal, the first thing we have to do is not to maintain a consistent low-key, and to properly show the media the power of fireflies is necessary."
After Carlsenberg finished, the other three people agreed to the head. Frank Wells also added: "Eric. I think you have to get the top spot in Forbes magazine this year. And it’s like Sam Walton a few years ago. The second place is far from open."
The Wal-Mart chain had a market capitalization of more than $40 billion before Sam Walton’s death in 1992. The Walton family owned more than 40% of Wal-Mart’s shares. Before 1992, Sam Walton was the only richest man on Forbes' list of 400 richest people in North America with more than $10 billion in wealth.
After Sam Walton’s death, family wealth was equally divided among his wife and four children, but the Walton family was still the richest family in North America because of the reasonable means to circumvent a large estate tax.
The fake play is really done. After Sam Walton’s death, because of Eric’s voluntary retreat, Buffett’s wealth as the richest man at the beginning of this year was only $9.3 billion.
Even without Frank Wells's remarks, Eric is well aware that it is very difficult for him to avoid this position and continue to be a free-looking richest man.
The figures on the Forbes list last year can be reasonably smothered for some reason, but this year, not only the Jurassic Park’s global record-breaking box office results have brought greater attention to Firefly’s film industry, but also fireflies. The news of the acquisition of abc TV network must also be disclosed to the public in the near future. The attention paid to the transactions of both parties will also allow a large number of investment institutions to actively analyze the strength of Firefly's film industry. In this case, Forbes will release a number similar to last year. There will be countless questions, and the data that seriously deviates from the facts is very big for the credibility of a professional financial magazine. Eric knows that the benefits he gives are absolutely impossible to let Steve Forbes take risks with the future of the family business.
"Well, although I am not ready yet, I will take the time to talk to Steve Forbes personally."
Jeffrey couldn't understand why Eric could avoid this. He laughed: "Eric, I still think this is a good thing. I really can't figure out why you have those messy scruples. Is it still? Are you afraid that someone will take your money away?"
Eric shrugged helplessly and did not answer. The other three laughed.
"Oh, don't ridicule me, let's continue on the subject." Eric and several others laughed for a while and waved their hands.
Michael Lynn asked at this time: "Eric. When Buffett left, said he would stay in Los Angeles?"
Eric shook his head and said: "I didn't ask, but it was just Thanksgiving. I think Buffett should go back to Omaha for Thanksgiving?"
Kasenberg said: "Buffett's wife Susan has lived in California for the past few years, because Buffett does not want his wealth to be divided. Although the two separated but did not divorce, I heard that the relationship is still very good, I think Buffett should Stay in Los Angeles for Thanksgiving."
Eric said: "Even if Buffett stays in Los Angeles. You know, I have to go to New York, and I won't necessarily come back before Christmas, so I can only come to contact with Buffett."
Eric’s already two children’s affairs are not a secret to everyone here. Jeffrey also personally went to Long Island to visit two little guys. So I am not surprised by Eric’s decision to go to New York for Thanksgiving.
In addition to Eric, a lazy boss, because of the relationship at the end of the year, Michael Lynn and others can not afford to go down at all. They must not only follow up on the important issue of the film release at the end of the year, but also need to The auditing and summarization of the financial, personnel and other work of the fireflies for one year has actually started in early November. But because of the growing number of fireflies, everything can be done before Christmas.
Taking into account these circumstances, Michael Lynn said: "If this is the case. In the case of private contact can not be talked about, we must at least wait until January next year, is suitable for launching a public offer, I suggest time to push back to In February and March, this will make it easier for us to make more early layouts."
Time is getting late, although Eric and Kasenberg are still full of spirits, but Jeffrey has already shown signs of fatigue, although many details have not been discussed, Eric also I don't plan to let the three old men who have passed the age of 50 continue to squat. Finally, "That's it, you can negotiate with each other on how to conduct high-profile publicity. There is something to call or email me," Eric said. Standing up and saying: "It's already late, don't stay late, I will take you to the room."
"No," Michael Lynn immediately got up. He didn't want to stay here to make a big light bulb: "I am a villa near Pepperdine University, not far from here."
Kasenberg pointed to the north and smiled: "I am closer, just at the foot of the mountain."
Frank Wells also smiled: "My family originally lived in Malibu.
Wear it back after liberation. ”
Eric looked at Jeffrey, and Jeffrey quickly waved his hand: "I think Michael will not refuse me to go to his house for a night."
"Of course," Michael Lynn smiled and nodded. "I recently bought a bunch of good red wine, Jeffrey, Frank, or do you want to try it together?"
"Forget it, it's too late today, I will go when I have time," Kasenberg shook his head.
"I can't do it either. My wife called me at eleven o'clock and asked me why I didn't go home," Frank Wells said, causing a few people to laugh and ridicule.
If you don't compare with Eric, the four giants of the firefly belong to the rich class. It is not surprising to buy a property in a place where Malibu is rich. Eric will no longer stay, send everyone away and return to the villa.
The table and chair props on the party have been moved by the party company. The empty hall of the villa is quiet. Eric stood in the middle of the hall and looked up at the circular corridor on the second floor, looking at a closed door. Inexplicably remembered the famous line in "Forrest Gump", the corner of his mouth could not help but smack a smirk.
Life is like a box of chocolates.
......
When he woke up, Eric found himself lying on the floor. Although he didn't have the habit of laying carpets, the wooden floor didn't feel uncomfortable. The air-conditioned bedroom was warm and there was nothing on the body. Will not produce coolness.
Some couldn't feel the presence of his right arm. Eric blinked his eyes and saw that Famik Jensen was comfortably resting on it. He was sleeping sweetly. It was estimated that the pillow was too long and it was completely dead.
Eric looked at the watch that was not taken last night. At eleven and a half, she couldn’t help but smile. It hasn’t been so complicated for a long time.
Carefully extending and moving the left hand and groping around, found a pink pajamas, estimated to be Xiao Nizi, last night women were wearing evening gowns, except Drew, others in the villa None of them have their own closet. Eric folded it up with one hand, because it was thick for the fall and winter, so he carefully lifted his right hand and wanted to put the pajamas under the head of Famick Jensen.
Perhaps it was asleep, Eric was very careful, and Famik Jensen quickly woke up and saw Eric holding a pink dress in his left hand. The girl smiled and reached out and took it. : "Stop it, you look so cumbersome."
Eric dropped his pajamas aside, and Famik Jensen had already leaned over and recalled the last night. The girl looked up and saw a small hand coming out of the bed, although she didn’t know who it was. Mick Jensen still did not hesitate to bite on Eric's shoulder. In the man's suppressed cry, the girl quickly and unbearably loosened her teeth, whispered: "Eric, the more you The more ridiculous it is, I warn you, I don’t think about it again."
Eric replied with a smile: "Okay, I promise, you are hungry, we go on to eat and eat, without them."
Famik Jensen grabbed Eric's waist and whispered, "I want you to come and give me food."
"No problem, you can eat me."
"You bastard, I really want to eat you."
The two men got up together cautiously, and Famik Jensen walked over to the closet, looking for Eric's clothes as usual, and noticed Erik's eyes from time to time looking at the women on the big bed, with a little bit of vinegar Twisted: "Would you like me to go alone, you stay?"
"No, just, it seems like one less?"
Famik Jensen put on a pair of Eric's jeans and looked at the big bed. One by one, he said, "Maybe Nicole has already gotten up?"
The voice just fell, and the other side of the big bed rang with Nicole's mutter: "It's hard to die, hateful, who kicked me down." (To be continued.)
