Sensing the movement around her, Linda, who was leaning on the man's arms, opened her eyes, just in time to see Cindy leaving the bedroom lightly.
The bright light coming through the gaps in the curtains indicates that it is not too early. Due to the great success of Yahoo's IPO, everyone partyed until late last night. Even Eric was rarely drunk. At this time, the sleeping man There was still a faint smell of alcohol on his body.
Thinking of what happened yesterday, Linda immediately lost sleepiness. She leaned her head and pecked the man's cheek, then lifted the quilt gently and stood up. She only put on a big T-shirt and started to wash. Although it was freezing outside in New York at the end of November, the apartment was as warm as spring.
This is Cindy's apartment on 75th Street next to Madison Avenue. Although it is not a re-examination structure, it occupies the entire top floor of the 11-story apartment building.
The first time she saw this apartment, where every detail of decoration was elegant and exquisite, Linda secretly began to dislike her house in Greenwich Village, so she often came to live with Cindy, still in private. Li asked the real estate company to secretly look for similar apartments for sale in the Upper East Side, but so far there has been no result.
Walking through the corridor to the living room, Linda flung herself comfortably on the soft double sofa, stretched her body like a cat, and then lazily picked up the remote control from the side coffee table to turn on the TV.
It happened to be the morning news period, and the anchors of most TV stations were talking excitedly, amazed or sharply about the grand occasion of Yahoo's listing yesterday.
"... As of the closing price at 4:00 pm yesterday, Yahoo's stock price was fixed at US$72.56, a 119.88% increase compared to the issue price, and its market value finally reached US$91 billion, creating the biggest IPO miracle since the outbreak of the new technology wave. It is reported that Yahoo! In addition to the basic issuance of 150 million shares, an additional 22.5 million greenshoe options were issued. Based on the total issuance of 172.5 million shares, Yahoo’s IPO financing scale will reach US$5.6925 billion... "
"... Everyone is talking about the technology stock bubble, but it is difficult for everyone to resist the high-return temptation of investing in technology stocks, yes, including myself. To be honest, I got off work yesterday afternoon, and I called my phone immediately stockbroker on the phone and he told me the market is closed for the weekend, well, that's a pity...”
“…According to the equity distribution data submitted by Yahoo to the SEC, after the IPO, including the green shoe option that will be cashed out, Yahoo’s total share capital is 1.255 billion shares, of which Firefly Investment holds 986 million shares. The proportion is 78.56%; the number of shares held by the management is 96.5 million shares, and the shareholding ratio is 7.69%; the number of outstanding shares is 172.5 million shares... "
"... two billionaires, six billionaires, twenty-six multi-millionaires, and two hundred and thirteen millionaires, this is the miracle created by Yahoo's IPO. As of yesterday's close, Yahoo's management The total value of the 96.5 million shares held has reached a terrifying $7 billion. We have to feel the generosity of Eric Williams, the boss. However, relatively speaking, the increase in the net worth of our richest man in the world is even more impressive People are amazing, compared to the 15 billion US dollars valuation given by "Forbes" magazine at the beginning of the year, Yahoo's listing transaction yesterday directly caused Eric Williams' net worth to skyrocket by 57 billion US dollars... "
"...Actually, starting from the second half of the year, many Wall Street media have frequently valued Yahoo at more than 50 billion US dollars. Moreover, according to some internal information, Yahoo's early IPO plan had a ratio of new shares issued that far exceeded the actual 13.75% %. Therefore, we have to admit that Yahoo has chosen a very wise IPO strategy. Based on the issue price of US$33, Yahoo’s valuation of itself during the IPO process is only US$35.7 billion, which is far below the average valuation of Wall Street. , which undoubtedly greatly stimulated the buying of countless investors around the world, and thus caused the miracle that Yahoo's stock price rose by more than 100% on the first day of listing... "
"... It is conceivable that if Yahoo implements its IPO according to the data given by Wall Street, its stock trend curve yesterday will definitely not be as good as it is now, and it may even break on the first day due to overvaluation. Moreover, from Yahoo's additional issuance Looking at the details of the 15% green shoe option, I think this is definitely not for Yahoo shareholders and management to obtain more IPO financing, otherwise they only need to raise the issue price to $37, so that Yahoo’s valuation is still far below The average data of Wall Street. The reason why Yahoo did this is to avoid the risk of breaking the first day to the greatest extent. Underwriters can legally enter the market as soon as the stock price falls. If my inference is true, then it can be proved that , the controller behind the firefly system, that is, Eric Williams, undoubtedly still maintains a very clear mind now that the wave of new technology has boiled. Very commendable. Therefore, although Yahoo’s stock price already has a very serious inflated component, I still recommend investors to buy it properly, because a corporate controller who can remain sober in the turmoil can definitely lead this company to continue Create brilliant... ”
"...According to the latest statistics, Eric Williams' current net worth has reached 265 billion U.S. dollars. Let's take a look at the "Forbes" Global Rich List at the beginning of the year. What do you find? That's right! 265 billion U.S. dollars, more than The sum of the wealth of all other nine billionaires in the top ten list, from the list data, the total wealth of the nine billionaires from the second to the tenth is only 259.4 billion U.S. dollars. Although this year will In the end, the net worth of other billionaires next year will increase to a certain extent with the recovery of the global economy. Although there is only one month left, we have every reason to infer that in this month, Eric Williams' net worth is likely to reach a new high, breaking through an even more unprecedented $300 billion... "
"... At 4:20 in the afternoon, our reporters standing outside the Nasdaq Exchange still failed to interview Eric Williams himself. It is said that he had already had sex with his two girlfriends We left the Nasdaq headquarters together ahead of schedule. However, we were lucky enough to have a short interview with Firefly Investment President Chris Hansen. According to Chris Hansen, after Yahoo completed this IPO, The next step will be to focus on expanding overseas business... ”
In the past, Linda would definitely change the channel without thinking about hearing news about stock prices, stock options, IPOs, etc. on the TV. But today, while switching channels continuously, listening to the hosts of different TV stations talk about various information about Yahoo’s listing yesterday, although many details are not well understood, Linda still listens with gusto, and even feels a little proud.
However, when she heard the broadcast of the last CNBC host, Linda suddenly froze for a moment.
She seemed to hear something strange.
Two girlfriends
Is it me and Cindy
When did I and Cindy become his 'two girlfriends', and what's the situation with your host's usual tone? Hey!
Is this kind of thing very common now
After turning her head around for a while, Linda vaguely felt that she seemed to understand something, but when she thought about it carefully, she couldn't grasp anything.
So, she got up naturally, lay down on the back of the sofa and shouted to the kitchen: "Cindy, Cindy."
After a while, Cindy poked her head out of the kitchen impatiently: "What's the matter?"
Seeing the appearance of Cindy, Linda suddenly swallowed the words that came to her lips for some reason, and smelling the aroma of the freshly baked cakes in the air, Linda changed her words pitifully: "Baby Cindy, I'm hungry gone."
Cindy rolled her eyes and asked, "Is Eric up yet?"
"have no idea."
"Go and wake him up, it's time to eat."
"Well, you go, I won't go, I'm afraid."
"afraid of what?"
"When a man just woke up, he was very angry. Last night he came back drunk and didn't do anything. I'm worried that he will be killed in the past now."
"I want to kill you right now, go!"
Although it's the weekend, Yahoo's management still has a lot of work to do today as it just completed its listing yesterday.
Eric has never been a manager who cares about every detail, and with the scale of the Firefly system, it is impossible for him to do everything. Therefore, although everyone was working overtime, Eric chose to rest and planned to stay in New York until after Thanksgiving, which was considered a small vacation.
Giselle and Alexander decided to go back to Brazil to spend Christmas with their family this year. They had already left New York, and Miranda was the only one left, who was naturally driven back to Australia by Eric.
So the time to spend with the women has become very easy to allocate. From the weekend to next Tuesday, I can stay in Manhattan with Cindy and Linda, and occasionally pay attention to the follow-up of Yahoo's listing. Back to East Hampton after Wednesday until Thanksgiving weekend with the women and kids.
The two reality shows "America's Next Top Model" and "Project Runway" are still going on in an orderly manner, but before the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show in London, Cindy and Linda have completed all the episodes before the winter break , which is also at rest at this time.
After breakfast, Linda took Eric and Cindy to discuss with great interest how to spend the next four days, and listed a detailed schedule in a serious manner.
Then in the afternoon, they went shopping together. They didn't make a big fanfare like ordinary people, but booked specialty stores in advance, and Cindy and Linda went directly to pick them up. At this time, the two women are already billionaires, but they still swipe Eric's credit card frantically in front of the waiter in the specialty store. In the end, he even used Eric's credit card to order a new BMW sports car for himself, as if he had been stimulated by something and wanted to take revenge on society.
However, even if you decide to take a break, there is still work to be done.
It's not something important, but an interview with The New York Times.
A few days ago, Eric and everyone did a lot of work in order to prevent the paper media from publishing some unfavorable remarks during the Yahoo IPO. Although he controls the largest media force in North America, it is impossible for Eric to make the world obey his orders as soon as he comes forward, at least he must owe some small favors. The interview with the "New York Times" is what he promised in the process .
With the excuse of being too busy during the day, the interview was arranged in the evening, and in the end it was even booked in Cindy's apartment.
Eric has been publicly interviewed by the media in recent years. Even within the Firefly system, it is impossible to get the opportunity to interview Eric easily. raise any objections to the timing of the interview.
"Ms. Miller, I must reiterate that this interview is limited to Yahoo-related topics and must not touch on anything else, especially Mr. Williams' private life. Also, the content of the press release must be approved by us before the story is published. It can only be published after review, and you have an hour."
At eight o'clock in the evening, in the elevator of the apartment building on 75th Street, Mayer led a blond white woman in her mid-thirties, repeating the requirements of this interview in a serious tone.
Judith Miller nodded, looked at the indicator light of the ascending floor, and said, "Miss Mayer, may I have a private interview with you?"
Holding a stack of documents, Mayer shook her head and said, "Sorry, you have to discuss this matter with my boss."
Judith Miller was a little disappointed, but still said: "Maybe, we can have dinner together in private and chat casually."
Mayer continued to shake her head: "Sorry, I have a lot of work to do."
The two came to the penthouse together. Cindy opened the door and welcomed them in enthusiastically. In the living room, Eric, who was being dragged by Linda to look through a fashion magazine, also stood up and smiled with the man in front of him. She shook hands with a female reporter in her mid-thirties, who was wearing a decent professional suit, and said, "Hello, Ms. Miller."
"Mr. Williams, nice to meet you," Judith Miller looked at the scene in the living room with a strange mood, but although she was one of the leading female reporters of the "New York Times", she was not a feminist Therefore, she did not have any dislike for Eric to live with two supermodels, and even, like many others, she subconsciously took it for granted.
After all, this is Eric Williams.
After a few simple greetings, Eric said, "Ms. Miller, let's go to the study, Cindy, take care of Mary."
After saying this, Eric took Judith Miller to a study in the apartment. At first, Eric was a little puzzled as to why there was a very formal study in Cindy's apartment. However, when he found a pen holder full of pencils on the large desk, he didn't have any doubts about this question. At least Eric didn't think there was a second person Cindy knew who liked to use a pencil while working.
