Chapter 1119: caveat? !

As the number of guests increases, the halls of the Hearst family are getting more and more lively.

Four women chatted hotly about some of the latest fashion topics, and Eric listened with great interest, occasionally inserting a few words. After a while, Irene Lancome turned her attention to Eric again and smiled: "Eric, can it be boring to hear these women talk about these topics?"

"No, I am very interested in everything I am not familiar with, which can bring a lot of inspiration."

Irene Lancome thought Eric was polite: "Really?"

"Of course it is true," the answer was Cindy. The girl also glanced at Eric and continued to talk to Irene Lanson: "Otherwise, you think that he has so many ideas about movies. Where? Irene, maybe one day, you will suddenly find out what you said tonight appeared in a movie."

Irene Lancome believed this and joked: "Oh, then I can be careful when I speak."

Delfina Arnault also said at the moment: "Eric, in this case, what inspiration do you have now?"

Eric did often trigger memories in his mind because of some things, but did not expect Cindy to be keenly aware of this, and many people around him wanted to think so.

However, this is actually better.

Thinking about it, Eric shook his head and smiled. "There is no inspiration now. You must know that in the face of pretty women, men's thinking is relatively slow, not to mention four beautiful women."

Just laughing, William Hurst III came with a guest, but Warren Buffett.

Eric now sees that Buffett has some headaches. The old man will call and ask about the clover fund in the last three days.

"Eric, although everyone knows that you are very popular with ladies, but you can't completely ignore our old men," William Hurst III and Eric joked and walked to the side. Next, said: "Warren is also in New York, I want to definitely not introduce me."

"Of course," Eric nodded. "But, William, you can't be an old man at all."

Although I did not pay special attention to the age of William Hirst III, but only look at the appearance, the other party will never exceed 50 years old, and it is worthy of the year.

William Hurst III smiled heartily and took two intimate shots on Eric's shoulder. "So, you talk to Warren first."

Several women who stood up with William Hurst III heard this and knew that Buffett and Eric had a formal discussion and politely walked away.

Warren Buffett has also been entangled in a sense of out of control recently.

Since watching the technology investment portfolio of the Shamrock Fund last year, Buffett, who is very sensitive to numbers and has an amazing memory, keeps that series of data in his mind.

With the continuous outbreak of the technology stock market, Buffett, who can easily figure out the total value of the technology stocks held by the clover fund, is becoming more and more frightened. You know, according to his conservative character, when the Nasdaq index is close to 3000 points, he will definitely clear all the technology stocks that have achieved far more than expected earnings, and then sit and watch.

Now, although Berkshire Hathaway’s shareholding in the Firefly Group is only 5%, the total value of the technology stocks of the Clover Fund is too large. Every time I think I wake up, Berkshire Hatha Wei may get more than $1 billion in dividends, and Buffett is somewhat restless.

What made him even more helpless was that during this time, Eric was more and more reluctant to disclose any words about the clover fund to him.

Didn't sit down at the table and chair with Eric's invitation, Buffett pulled him toward the window, and carefully swept his eyes around, whispered: "Eric, about the clover fund, I Now just ask you a question, give me an answer, I promise not to ask again in the future, okay?"

Eric certainly knows what Buffett wants to know and shook his head: "Warren, if anyone wants to know the trading hours of Berkshire Hathaway holding shares, would you tell the other party?"

The answer is obvious, Buffett has always been ignorant of any investment behavior of Berkshire Hathaway.

Usually, basically, a business is finalized, and the outside world will get the news. In order to avoid the goal of using Berkshire Hathaway’s reputation to wait for the price, Buffett often gives the target after making the transaction application. A very short time may only take one or two hours to consider the time, either agree or give up.

Eric’s attitude is still determined. Buffett is obviously not too reconciled. “Eric, only one point, tell me, have you started selling?”

"Warren, do you want me to lie to you?"

"Eric, I hope you know what you are doing. And, I still have to remind you again, don't be too greedy, you don't have to take risks now."

"Of course, however, Warren, I am still the old saying, if you really need money, I can always buy back the stock of the Firefly Group held by Berkshire Hathaway."

For a moment, Buffett really wants to agree.

However, this thought was just a flash, and the old man shook his head again.

Berkshire Hathaway has never been a speculative investment company, and Buffett’s investment philosophy has always been to gain income through long-term holdings.

In the past two years, although it is widely believed that the development of the Firefly Group has entered the bottleneck, Buffett clearly understands that even if the Firefly Group continues to maintain a series of high-quality assets and a stable and profitable state of profitability, only the Firefly Group is The Firefly Studios Project, the '4200' program, and the Marvel Film Cosmos, as long as they succeed, even one or two of the three will make the Firefly Group take another step.

What's more, he also learned that in the future, the Firefly Group is likely to expand into the cable TV operator business. If this plan can be implemented, the size of the Firefly Group is likely to directly achieve a leap-forward development.

Such a media company that has an absolute dominance in Hollywood and is thriving, how Berkshire Hathaway can give up.

Eric and Buffett are some silent confrontation, a hearty sound sounded: "Hey, Warren, I heard that you came over, oh, and, Eric, always looking forward to seeing you."

The two turned and Buffett shook hands with the middle-aged man who came over. He looked back and smiled and said to Eric: "Eric, this is Henry Paulson, CEO of Goldman Sachs ""

Eric also smiled and reached out to the somewhat bald middle-aged man in front of him and said, "Hello, Mr. Paulson."

Henry Paulson forced a few times with Eric and said, "Eric, you can call me Henry."

Eric nodded, but he couldn't help but collect information about Henry Paulson in his memory. The first thing he thought of was another Paulson, John Paulson, who became famous in the subprime mortgage crisis. However, after thinking about it, Henry Paulson seems to be the US Treasury Secretary during the same period of the subprime crisis.

After greeting, and Buffett chilled a few words, Henry Paulson turned to Eric, saying: "Eric, Goldman Sachs is planning to conduct ipo recently, are you interested in investing?"

Eric shook his head without thinking too much: "I am sorry, Henry, I don't know too much about this."

Eric recently heard about the upcoming listing of Goldman Sachs, a well-known Wall Street investment bank that has been in business for 130 years. It plans to log on to the New York Stock Exchange in May and formally become a public company.

There is no doubt that Wall Street and Hollywood are the best way to make the night of the Nuggets, the best way to achieve the American Dream.

In the first few years of rebirth, Eric also yearned for Wall Street because of many memories.

But now, his attitude toward Wall Street is absolutely far from being respected, because Wall Street is basically a group of wolves who have no position and no position at all costs in order to pursue the interests. If you are not a powerful tiger, then just cooperate. Those, maybe they will become the dish of this group of wolves before they turn around.

Speaking of it, participating in the IPO of Goldman Sachs is definitely a good deal, but doing so will undoubtedly cause unnecessary speculation on Wall Street, especially Morgan Stanley.

The firefly system has always maintained a good relationship with Morgan Stanley. Although the fundamental maintenance of this kind is still in the interest, as long as Morgan Stanley does not take the lead in making any extraordinary things, Eric does not mind to maintain this good relationship. After all, the future of the firefly system will come. The more you focus on industry, the more times you use Wall Street.

"It doesn't matter," Henry Paulson still smiled and said: "However, Eric, I still hope you can think carefully."

Eric nodded: "Of course."

"In addition," Henry Paulson converges a little smile, staring at Eric with a gaze, but still said casually: "Eric, I heard that Firefly Electronics has just been implemented recently. Equity incentive plan?"

Eric was keenly aware of some of the subtle changes in Henry Paulson's mood, but just nodded quietly.

Realizing that the youth in front of him did not succumb to the pressure that they unwittingly released, Henry Paulson was somewhat disappointed, but he took it for granted. He continued: "Is it, Eric, Firefly Electronics has a listing intention? ”

"Not for the time being," Eric shook his head and said: "Firefly Electronics is not lacking in funds yet."

"Eric, you have to know that most companies go public, but they don't lack funds, just like Goldman Sachs." Henry Paulson suddenly changed his joke-like tone and said, "Really, I don't." Too much to support Goldman Sachs listing, but if Goldman Sachs continues to insist on private ownership, my team of rabbits who expect the stocks to be multiplied will not be able to turn their faces. Sometimes, even if we don’t expect more wealth, we You must be careful about the feelings of others."

Eric listened to Henry Paulson’s words, nodded on the surface, but suddenly a heart. After all, he was not like the twenty-eight-year-old Shantou Qing, Henry Paulson’s obvious suggestion, how could he not feel it.

In the end, some people still can't understand his ‘half-big boy’ holding a lot of gold.

More than 300 billion US dollars of wealth, after all, is too eye-catching.

Other companies in the firefly system don't say that it's just firefly electronics. From its inception to the present, in just a few years, it has achieved an annual profit of nearly $1 billion. How can it not engulf too many people?

After all, if it’s just a profit ranking, there are definitely no more than 100 companies in North America with annual profit of 1 billion. Not to mention the market expansion speed of the Firefly electronic digital music player, the potential of this company is still far from Play it out completely.

After Henry Paulson’s words were finished, his eyes continued to stare at Eric for a moment, then smiled and smiled at Buffett’s apparently surprised Buffett and turned and walked away.

When Henry Paulson walked away, Buffett hesitated for a moment, or a small voice: "Eric, in fact, it is also a good choice to let Firefly Electronics go on the market, you know, your company..." Buffett took a moment to continue: "The anti-monopoly risk faced by your company is still very large."

There is not much causal relationship between the company's listing and antitrust risks.

Buffett said so, the meaning of waking up is already very obvious.

Eric also had some surprises, Buffett would take the initiative to remind himself, smiled and nodded, said: "Thank you, Warren, I understand."

Buffett looked at Eric's eyes and looked at it slightly. He said: "In this case, let me know a few old friends. Eric, even if you don't like it, you should still attend some similar gatherings. It’s always good for people of our kind to get to know some people."

Then, until the end of the party, with two women returning to Cindy’s apartment on the 75th Street, Eric was somewhat silent.

Sending two women to rest first, Eric got into the study that Cindy had carefully prepared for him.

I don't know how long it took, the door of the study was knocked down, and Eric, with his head and mouse holding his mouse, looked up and saw Cindy in his pajamas appear at the door, laughing and nodding at the woman.

Cindy walked in and glanced at the computer screen, only to find that Eric was playing a gun battle game.

"It's really sad. The appeal of both of us is not as good as computer games."

Half-truly complaining, Cindy leaned over and sat down on Eric's lap.

"Linda is sleeping?"

"Yeah, haven't you noticed the time?"

Eric swept the time in the lower right corner of the computer screen and found that it had passed two o'clock in the morning. Take off the headphones and throw it aside, reach out and grab the woman, and hold her body up to face herself.

The leather chair underneath is very large, but because of the armrests, Cindy can barely use a slightly strange squat posture on Eric, with his hands on the shoulders of men, feeling a pair of big hands. She slipped down on both sides of her waist, picked up the hem of the nightdress, lifted it up, and raised her hand in coordination.

Let the man invade his body abruptly, and breathe slightly. After a moment, Cindy glared at the man's neck and whispered: "Eric, do you have something to worry about?"

Eric’s action paused and nodded slightly, and said: “Speaking, what happened to Patty Hearst that you mentioned at the party, tell me?”

"Do you still remember other people's little girls?" Cindy was dissatisfied with the number, but also knew that the man was shifting the topic, but still whispered: "That should be 1974."
