Chapter 916: Reunion
In the past, after Sigram acquired Polaroid, because the company itself could not afford high debt and the overall decline of the record industry, a few years later, Sigram had to sell the whole to the French Vivendi Group.
The Vivendi Group took over Seagram, and in two years it ended up with a huge loss, once again resold all its entertainment business to General Electric, GE integrated the original NBC TV network to form a covered TV. NBC Universal Group, film, music and other businesses, but a few years later, GE also sold NBC Universal to Comcast.
It can be said that once the global media group has been gradually changing hands when other media groups have gradually stabilized, Edgar Bronfman's acquisition of Polaroid Records is definitely a must.
After listening to Eric's analysis, Elizabeth said: "So, you made up your mind not to expand the record business?"
"Fireflies have a firefly record. It's enough. According to the current development momentum, in the next four or five years, the Fireflyer player's profit for Firefly Electronics may be more substantial than the total profit of the entire record industry. The proportion of the group's record business, fireflies have to consider balancing the interests of all aspects, which will hinder the development of firefly electronics."
Elizabeth nodded in understanding and smiled again: "Oh, I thought you guys like the bigger the better."
Eric looked up and glanced at Elizabeth's chest, regretting: "Of course, the bigger the better, but unfortunately, the reality is too cruel."
"I am hitting you, show me the script," Elizabeth said, raising her fists in a shameful manner. However, after a few seconds, she squatted on the desk and whispered, "Oh, you this time. How much did you earn in Southeast Asia?"
With the fall of the Thai baht in July, the currencies of Southeast Asian countries such as Malaysia, the Philippines, Indonesia and Singapore all plummeted throughout August, and the depreciation of the Indonesian rupiah even exceeded the Thai baht.
"Now many foreign exchange contracts have not yet been delivered. If the book is profitable, it should be about 600 million US dollars. Chris has already started to open the Korean won. Then I can make another profit," Eric said, looking at Elizabeth. : "What about you?"
In the operation of the Southeast Asian currency, Eric did not hide from the people around him, but also specifically encouraged Elizabeth to participate. It’s just that everyone is not gathered together, so it’s too conspicuous. Eric can’t hope that the Southeast Asian countries will take turns looking for the troubles of the Firefly Group.
Elizabeth also knows how much Eric has invested in, and she is surprised: "How do you earn so much? I borrowed $100 million from my father, and together with Julia, I have a total of $150 million. Kim has earned less than 80 million."
"The 80 million US dollars is already good. You are a little late, and the profit is over 50%, which means that the trader you are looking for is still very capable." Eric turned the script in front of him again and raised his head. "Listen to what you mean, have you taken all the money back?"
“Well, many people say that the Southeast Asian currency will rebound soon. I and Julia will not dare to continue. However, the Korean won should not have too many plunges, how can you put the chips on it? Already?"
Eric smiled and said: "In addition to Japan, the whole of Southeast Asia, the South Korean fish is the most fat. Do you think everyone will let it go?"
"Maybe, but Julia and I have already bought all of these 80 million shares, and I can't go back if I want to go back." Elizabeth shrugged and smiled and said: "Well, yes, we have also booked." A Boeing 747-400, if the Nasdaq index does not continue to rise as you said, then you can only pay for it."
Eric reluctantly said: "The two are enough for everyone to use, why are you buying so much?"
"I don't care, the two, one is yours, one is Drew, and of course I have to Julia. Anyway, it is 80 million," Elizabeth showed a little sly expression, saying: " If I can't afford the last payment, I will give Julia a Boeing, and you will redeem it."
The Nasdaq index is still far from reaching its limit, and it will be no problem to increase it several times in the future.
Eric is not worried that the two of the $80 million they are currently investing in will not be able to afford a Boeing 747, but they are not very angry: "You might as well give yourself to Boeing."
So chatting, and occasionally fighting a few mouths, Eric took the script of "Shrek" in detail, modified some details according to the memory, approaching work, Eric handed the script to Elizabeth: "First, I will go to New York in two days, and I will go to the Blue Sky Studio in person to see the settings and storyboards they made."
Elizabeth put away the script and was curious: "What are you doing in New York?"
"This year's Vimy big show, it will start after Fashion Week, they let me look at it, there are some other trivia, stay in New York for a few days, I have to fly to London," Eric put on the desktop The documents were simply packed up, stuffed into the safe, picked up the landline on the table and Caroline said hello, they got up and said: "Let's go, let's go eat."
Elizabeth picked up her own bag, took Eric's arm out of the office, and thought of something, and asked, "So you can't take the Emmy?"
Eric shook his head and said: "This is not anxious, and then start after the Emmy Award."
In September, with the advent of the fall of the TV series, the Emmy Award for the most important TV show in the United States was also held during this time.
Eric did not pay much attention to the Emmy Awards in the past years. However, as the TV business of the Firefly System became larger and larger, he began to put more thought into this aspect.
Just experienced a lucrative summer file, this year's Emmy Awards, the TV program of the Firefly Group also shines.
Whether it is the "Friends" of the wireless station, the "Story of the Emergency Room", "The Survivor" or the "Taiwan City" and "Tianqiao Pride" of the cable station, they have won a lot of nominations.
Among them, under the operation of Harvey Weinstein, FFM TV launched "The Shu Road Family", which won 16 nominations and became the most dazzling star in the Emmy Awards this year.
The Emmy Awards ceremony was held on September 8th in the City Hall in Pasadena, northeast of Los Angeles, which has been a 20-year tradition for the Emmy Awards. The Emmy Awards started earlier, and the entire awards ceremony was only two hours. The awards ceremony ended, and the Western Time was only eight o'clock in the evening.
In the end, "The Shudao Family" won 7 awards such as the best drama series, best actor and best actress with 16 nominations, and became the biggest winner of this Emmy Award.
The celebration party was chosen at the Sunset Tower Hotel on Sunset Boulevard.
Eric did not attend the Emmy Awards ceremony in person, but just arrived at the Firefly Group's celebration party after the award ceremony. Although the FFM TV station is headed by Harvey Weinstein, the control is still counted on the firefly side, and the celebration party of "The Shudao Family" is not specifically separated.
Entering the banquet hall, Harvey Weinstein first greeted him and hugged with Eric. He did not forget to ridicule: "Hey, Eric, are you coming alone tonight?"
Eric has become accustomed to a person to attend a variety of occasions, Harvey's ridicule was not originally heard. However, this time I heard Harvey’s words, Eric suddenly remembered something, and his eyes subconsciously swept in the banquet hall.
Didn't wait for Eric to find out, Robert Eiger, Anne Sweeney and others who came from New York at this time also came over and blocked Eric's sight.
Eric had to smile, and greeted Robert and others one by one.
The real answer to forgetting how long a person needs is, as long as you are alive, it is impossible.
What you can do is just let yourself not care.
The last time I secretly sent him a tie, no signature, no signature, no response, crying for one night, and later planning to forget the guy.
For six years, although in a city, she has always made herself and him two parallel lines, thinking that this will slowly become indifferent. However, he did not think that he would not attend the Emmy Awards party, but he appeared.
So, suddenly suddenly become absent-minded, eyes always involuntarily looking for the past, watching him surrounded by people, watching him talk to people, watching him enter the crowd to entertain, see him coming over to his side.
"Hey, Anne," Eric greeted the rest of the "Friends" crew, and turned to Aniston, his eyes curiously squatting at the man standing next to Aniston, naturally lost, but There is also some curiosity. He vaguely remembers what the other person seems to have appeared in the movie, but he could not remember it at the same time.
"Jane, yes, Jane, how can you abbreviate someone else's surname as a nickname? You used to make mistakes." Seeing him with a cloud-like appearance, Jennifer Aniston also wanted to show himself. Naturally, his eyes looked straight at him, and his left hand lifted his head, but did not dare to stretch over, remembering his boyfriend next to him.
So instinctively bent the raised hand to the other arm, um, but I also have a boyfriend, you guy.
Thinking about it in my heart, the arm that stretched out was taken empty.
Turning his head, he just noticed that the man around him was obviously deliberately flashing, and his expression was obviously guilty. He seemed to want to draw a relationship with her.
After spending a few seconds in a hurry, a strong grievance suddenly came up.
Coward, jerk, traitor, coward...
How can you be so bad?
I wanted to splash the glass of champagne in my hand, but suddenly lost all my strength, the glass fell to the ground, and she fell to the ground and cried.
It’s awkward.
Don't worry, don't want it, don't want it, let's see it.
The sudden change made the whole hall suddenly quiet.
"I, sorry, Mr. Williams," the man who was standing next to Aniston also woke up and apologized to Eric, but stood there in disarray.
"Let's go, don't stay here again," Eric glanced at the other side, no longer paying attention, handing the glass of wine in his hand to the person next to him, kneeling down and looking down and burying his head and crying. Unscrupulous little girl, she reached up and hugged her up and walked outside the ballroom.
Robert Eiger followed and looked at Aniston, who was kneeling in Eric's arms, and whispered, "Eric, what's wrong with this?"
Eric did not answer, just said: "You arrange, I don't want to see the words of this matter in the newspaper tomorrow."
Robert Eiger had some headaches, and the movement was so big, how can it be so concealed, but I noticed that Eric didn’t have any expression of room for negotiation, he still sweared and said: "Okay."
When I arrived at the parking lot and let the bodyguards get off, Eric put the little **** the co-pilot and drove away from the Sunset Tower Hotel.
After a while, the little girl who was shrunk in the leather seat finally stopped crying, but did not dare to look up and asked lowly: "You, where are you going to take me?"
"Send you home, where do you live now?"
"I don't go back."
"Ok."
Eric responded and continued to drive.
Another silence, Aniston chin on his knees, quietly looking at the light passing under the window, suddenly said: "This is Bel-air."
Eric also looked out, and the Bel Air community is also a wealthy area that is comparable to Beverly Hills: "Well?"
"Diamonds, brilliant, and.Bel-Air.now," Xiao. The girl whispered the lyrics in "Young-and-Beautiful" and said, "This is Beller."
Eric nodded: "Well."
"I really don't know how you can write such a good song."
"Maybe I copied it."
Xiao. The girl snorted and said: "How can someone who can write such a song copy it for you?"
"Hey, this process is a bit sci-fi."
"You have to start talking nonsense again."
“I used to talk nonsense before?”
"I, who knows, I am almost forgotten, you jumped out again, and my public relations manager is now estimated to be mad."
Xiao. The girl apparently did not hear her own instructions to Robert Eiger. Eric did not explain it. He nodded. "Well, I am all in the head of the news. Do you want to discuss it and take the initiative to take the headline?"
Aniston turned his head and looked at Eric in the driver's seat. He opened his mouth and hesitated. He said it: "You didn't talk nonsense at first, I knew it was fine."
"Slow it down, will I send you home?"
"Is this woman a very troublesome person?"
Eric shook his head: "It's not a hassle. If I want to, I have a 90% chance to go to bed again tonight."
Aniston squinted and stared at Eric in an angry way: "Be careful, I am with you."
"Are you hungry?"
This turning point came a bit suddenly, Xiao. The girl blinked her eyes, and her heart was inexplicably a little gratified. She also knew the question of asking people, so she nodded honestly: "Hungry."
"Well, that's good. People who are hungry are very weak in their willpower, so you don't have the courage to go with me now."
"..." Xiao. The girl blinked again, loudly: "Park, stop!"
Eric reluctantly drove the car to the side of the road and looked at the scattered street lights on the roadside. "This is not a residential area. Parking is dangerous. Maybe you will encounter a perverted killer."
Xiao. The girl ignored it. The car just slammed over and the fist slammed on Eric. He was unwilling to open his mouth and bite on Eric's shoulder.
"I am, oh, oh, oh, kill you."
