Opening the e-mail, Eric noticed an e-mail sent by Chris just at noon, so he clicked on it.
The content of the email is the latest list of major shareholders and shareholding ratio information of AOL.
Although the Firefly System gave up its seat on the board of directors of AOL and completely stopped interfering in the management of AOL, it did not turn a blind eye to the company.
After several months of operation, Firefly Investment has basically completed the reduction of 25% of AOL's shares, and successfully cashed out a huge amount of US$10 billion.
In the first phase of the 10% stock reduction operation, in order to ensure that their investment received sufficient returns, after taking over the stocks that Firefly invested in the reduction, the stakeholders behind the scenes of AOL also joined Morgan Stanley to advocate The ranks of investment prospects in technology stocks have made AOL's actual stock price gradually far exceed the price of Firefly Investment's reduction of holdings.
In the subsequent distribution process of 15% of the stock, in order to ensure success, Morgan Stanley not only invested a lot of resources, but also played hunger marketing appropriately, which cleverly attracted more Wall Street capital's attention to AOL stock. Eventually, when the official distribution date came, Morgan Stanley's share of the stock was fully subscribed.
According to the latest stock price information, AOL's market value at this time has reached 53.6 billion US dollars. , if calculated according to this market value, Firefly Investment lost 3.4 billion U.S. dollars during this holding reduction operation. However, Eric is more pessimistic about the development prospects of AOL than most media and investment institutions. With this 10 billion US dollars, even if the remaining 10.6% of the stocks in the hands are all depreciated into waste paper, Firefly Investment will definitely make a lot of money.
Hearing the sound of high-heeled shoes, Eric recovered from his thoughts and saw Anne Hathaway carefully placing a cup of freshly brewed hot coffee next to him.
"Thank you," Eric moved the coffee cup to the position he was used to, then turned his head and glanced at Anne Hathaway, and said, "By the way, take off your high heels."
Eric's tone was casual, and after he finished speaking, he turned his eyes to the computer screen again, but Anne Hathaway's heart tightened.
It's coming so soon.
Eric held the mouse and pulled down the mail page a little bit. Feeling that the girl around him was silent, he turned his head and glanced, and said, "What's wrong?"
"No, nothing."
Anne Hathaway shook her head quickly, hesitated for a moment, bit her lip and silently kicked off her high heels, smoothed off her shoulder straps, and took off the black dress.
Eric felt something strange and turned his head again, only to see Anne Hathaway next to her in only a small dress, her development was really good.
"Oh, you really know how to infer other things from one instance." Eric couldn't help but smile.
Although there are many women around him, Eric has become more and more restrained in matters between men and women in recent years. Once he gets busy, he will not even touch women for ten days and a half months. Last night, I took care of the two little drunk cats like a dad until midnight, and I had already accumulated some anger. Seeing the situation in front of me, Eric didn't let the girl put her clothes back on, and reached out to turn off the monitor. Eric Leaning on the office chair and stepping on the ground, he stepped back a little and said, "Come here."
In the evening, Eric took Anne Hathaway to the big ship again, but this time he did not go to the small restaurant, but asked someone to arrange a seat in the big restaurant that was open to the public. There was no one else in the small restaurant on a Sunday night, and it was kind of silly for two to sit there and eat.
The restaurant on the big ship has long been one of the most high-end restaurants in Los Angeles. Usually, the seats are fully booked early on weekends, but these are naturally not a problem for Eric.
On the seat by the window where you can enjoy the bright lights of Santa Monica in the distance, Anne Hathaway still had a somewhat pitiful expression on her face, and she ordered an order to the waiter in a small voice. Steak, then carefully glanced at the man across from him, but with a little complacency in his heart, he couldn't help but think about what happened in the afternoon.
When Eric called her to her side and knelt down, she felt very wronged.
You know, she has been like a little princess at home and at school since she was a child. Although she has had boyfriends, but because of her high spirits, she has never even given her first kiss to the opposite sex. kind of thing. However, in the face of Eric's strength, she still behaved very obediently, and comforted herself in her heart to do those things for a big man like Eric Williams, which was a matter of course.
So now, looking at Eric, who had a really troublesome expression on his face but his attitude towards her was much better, Anne Hathaway knew that her efforts would not be in vain.
I just don't know if I can be his girlfriend. Or, one of the girlfriends, which doesn't seem like a hard thing to take. After all, this is Eric Williams.
I thought it was just ONS, um, or ODS, but the bayonet became popular by accident. Eric was also depressed, unable to enjoy himself and extremely troublesome.
After carefully recalling it, I have always paid attention to the protection measures from the beginning to the end.
That's good.
Ever since the two little guys were born, Eric has been paying attention to this aspect. It's not that he is worried that a woman who is pregnant with her child will ask for huge alimony. Instead, he thinks it should be. It is not any burden for him at all. Eric just didn't want to bring a little guy into this world without any preparation. He was not an irresponsible person, but he was worried that he couldn't be a responsible father. In fact, judging from the reactions of the women, he was indeed not a reliable father.
Perhaps, it is not a reliable lover and lover.
Fail!
However, he looked at Anne Hathaway on the opposite side.
Well, this seems to be good.
Seeing Eric looking over, Anne Hathaway showed a shy expression on her face, her eyelashes flickered, and said in a low voice, "Eric, me, can I go to Pointe Manor tonight?"
Eric made a special phone call before dinner, and the girl took the twins directly to fly to the east coast in the Gulfstream V just received. At this time, she was already at Joanna's side. The chick also had a party with her friends tonight, and left in the afternoon Pointe Manor.
Seeing the hopeful gaze of the girl in front of him, Eric hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, but Anne, I can state in advance that you'd better not have any expectations of our relationship."
Anne Hathaway immediately showed a hurt expression, but nodded obediently: "I understand."
Eric took a sip of the juice in hand and said, "Let's talk about you, do you have a brokerage company now?"
"Well," Anne Hathaway nodded, "I signed a contract with Elite Talent Agency a few months ago."
Eric remembered something, and he was a little uncertain: "Is it the agency company of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" script?"
"Yeah," Anne Hathaway smiled a little, but when she remembered that the man in front of her had bought a big film company for a script, she couldn't help being a little more awed, and said, "Actually, I almost got married with Ma Te Gilson has signed a contract, but he already has a few artists under him, so he will miss it. My current agent is Carl Franco, and my father asked someone to introduce him."
After completing the acquisition of Sony's film business, Eric had seen the contract signed between Sony Pictures and the two screenwriters of "Pirates of the Caribbean", so he did not pay special attention to Terry Rossio and Ted Elliott. two people. Having already paid 7.5 million US dollars, it was impossible for Sony Pictures to agree to other additional conditions. The two screenwriters received such a huge sum of money, and they did not ask for more.
Although even in the position of the other party, Eric estimated that he would choose to sell the script directly, but it is naturally impossible for him to hand over the right to adapt the script to those two people.
Hearing the coincidence that Anne Hathaway happened to be in the elite talent agency company where the two screenwriters worked, Eric didn't have any special thoughts. He just hummed and skipped the topic.
Anne Hathaway saw that Eric didn't seem to be interested, but she was a little worried whether this topic offended the other party.
The "Pirates of the Caribbean" script incident happened some time ago, because Anne Hathaway had already signed to the brokerage company at that time. At that time, there was some inexplicable sense of pride because of the heat caused by this script, but at this time, the state of mind After a little change, she felt that if she were Eric, she would definitely be very angry.
After hesitating for a moment, Anne Hathaway felt that she might have to make amends, so she said, "Why don't you, Eric, I change to another brokerage company?"
Eric was patiently slicing a cod steak, thinking about using chopsticks for the nth time in his mind, but he just thought about it. If he really did this, it would be weird in the eyes of the people around him. Even after so many years, Eric felt that he might not be able to use chopsticks proficiently anymore.
Hearing Anne Hathaway's words, Eric raised his head and asked, "Are there any famous actors in your agency?"
"Andy Garcia," Anne Hathaway replied, "he was in The Godfather Part 3, and he got a Best Supporting Actor nomination for that."
Anne Hathaway subconsciously reported the name of the biggest actor in her company. Seeing Eric's blank face, she smiled awkwardly. After thinking about it, she added: "In addition, it is said that Michelle Pfeiffer also Been in our company for a while, just became famous and then jumped to WMA. In addition to Andy Garcia, we have several TV stars in our company, that, Morgan Fairchild, she is still in you I made a cameo appearance in "Friends", playing Chandler's mother. Tsk tsk, it is said that she is now 48 years old, but she looks like 30 years old. If only I can maintain it so perfectly by then. "
Eric listened to Anne Hathaway Barabara, and finally said with a smile: "Then stay in this company, maybe in a few years you will become a big sister, and if you change to a big brokerage company, you may just It's a little goldfish."
Anne Hathaway's big eyes flashed, and she nodded quickly: "Well, Eric, I will do whatever you want me to do."
Eric nodded in satisfaction and said, "Very well, I like good girls."
The next morning, in the spacious master bedroom of the Angle Manor.
Sensing the movement of the man beside her, the girl lying softly on the big bed opened her eyes drowsily, looked around in a daze, and soon woke up.
Seeing Eric get up and go to the bathroom, Anne Hathaway cheered up and got up from the bed.
However, looking around, I realized that all my clothes from inside to outside were taken away by Eric last night and given to the servants of the manor to wash. The sound insulation in the bathroom is very good. She listened for a while, but she didn't hear the sound. After hesitating, she wrapped a sheet and got out of bed barefoot, and walked to the window curiously.
The time is estimated to be less than seven o'clock. In Los Angeles in October, the sun has not yet risen.
However, standing by the floor-to-ceiling windows of the circular bedroom with an excellent view, the magnificent view of the sky and the sea outside the window still made it difficult for Anne Hathaway to calm down.
If only I could live here forever.
When this idea came up, Anne Hathaway suddenly felt that she should lie back on the big bed and pretend to be unbearable, so that she could definitely stay here for a few more days.
Reluctantly, he walked around the bedroom around the circular floor-to-ceiling windows, looking at everything around Malibu like a princess in a castle visiting her own city. After an unknown amount of time, just as Anne Hathaway was about to make up her mind, the bathroom door was pulled open.
Eric came out of the bathroom wearing a bathrobe and wiping his wet hair. Seeing the girl wrapped in a sheet standing by the glass window in a daze, he smiled and said, "Are you awake?"
"Ah, well, me, good morning, Eric."
I regret it, alas, I can't pretend now.
Eric went to the big bed and got dressed, and seeing the girl still standing by the bed blankly, he took out a shirt from his closet and said, "Go and wash first, I'll get you ready." New toothbrush, put on my shirt first, forget about the pants, you can’t fit them.”
Anne Hathaway nodded, smiled reservedly, and walked towards the bathroom.
After washing up and putting on Eric's oversized shirt, Anne Hathaway couldn't help sniffing the neckline to the tip of her nose, the clothes had a faint lemon smell. Reluctantly lingering in this big bedroom for a while, she opened the door and looked around and went downstairs.
It's so big here.
What's even more rare is that it was very clean. I walked all the way downstairs with bare feet, and I didn't feel anything was stained on my feet, and I didn't know how to clean it.
With these thoughts in mind, she wandered around the villa like a cat for a while before she found the kitchen. Eric was holding his shirt sleeves and holding a frying pan, making fried eggs. It violated the agreement, but he still stepped forward and asked, "Eric, what can I do for you?"
