When Robert Shea walked away, Eric said to Jeffrey: "Jeffrey, you have also seen that because of this incident, Firefly will have an additional expenditure of nearly 80 million US dollars this year, and the funds will be very tight , So, at the end of the year, how about exchanging all of your producer share for this year into company shares?"
Jeffrey froze for a moment, then smiled and said, "This is what I wish for, but Eric, are you planning to dilute Robert's shares so soon?"
"Of course not," Eric said with a smile: "If you do that, Robert probably has the heart to kill me. I will transfer some of my shares to you. I hope you don't mind too little."
"No, I want as much as you give me," Jeffrey said indifferently, "If I didn't want to watch the fireflies step up to the top step by step, I would have retired now. By the way, I was in Maryland some time ago Zhou bought a farm, about 2,000 acres, which happened to be the place where my wife grew up, and now it is handed over to someone else. When the fireflies don’t need me, I will leave voluntarily and go to that farm to plant corn , hunting, guarding that place to enjoy the old age.”
Eric has a sore nose. Without the help of the excellent team cultivated by Jeffrey and his legendary wife, it is hard to say what would happen to Eric now. However, when Jeffrey finished speaking, Eric put on an unbearable look and said: "Okay, okay, Geoffrey, you are neither Juliet's Romeo nor the prince of the mermaid, you are just a middle-aged man. Nian bald fat man, don't be so sensational, okay?"
Jeffrey knew that Eric wasn't really complaining about himself, this smart young man just didn't want to be immersed in the past all the time. So he made a rare humorous sentence: "Of course I am not the people you said. I am Jeffrey from Solina."
"Wow. I'm going to throw up after that,"
Jeffrey smiled and shook his head: "However, Eric, if I really leave in the future, don't forget to visit me on the farm occasionally. You know, I don't have many relatives."
Eric asked carefully: "You...haven't reconciled with your son yet?"
Hearing this question, Jeffrey was a little disappointed: "It can't be said that we didn't get along, but it's not too harmonious. Chris is very busy. We don't see each other a few times a year, so it's not surprising that the relationship is a little weak."
Eric was a little curious: "Speaking of which, I have never met your son. You just said his name is Chris. What does he do?"
"He works on Wall Street."
Wall Street, it sounds more high-end than Hollywood, Eric couldn't help thinking so, and then asked: "Which Wall Street company?"
"Morgan Stanley."
"Wow!" Eric couldn't help sighing. Although he didn't care much about this aspect, Eric also knew it. Morgan Stanley is one of the four major investment banks alongside Merrill Lynch, Goldman Sachs and Citigroup. Many of the famous financial turmoil in memory almost have these giants behind them.
"I was still thinking that if it was possible, let him work at Firefly. Since it is the famous Morgan Stanley, it must be out of the question."
When Eric said this, Jeffrey inevitably showed some pride. Even if the relationship between their father and son was a little distant and cold, there was no father who would not be proud of his son's excellence.
"Eric, if you want to make some investments in the future, you can try to find him. Although I don't know his specific work, but Chris's professional quality must be very good. When he was at the University of Pennsylvania, he has always been What I got was a full scholarship, and I was not asked to pay a penny for tuition from the beginning to the end."
When Eric heard Jeffrey's words, many thoughts flashed through his mind.
However, he quickly suppressed these immature thoughts. He had never even met Chris Hansen. Of course, it was impossible to make any decision just because of Jeffrey's few words. But in his heart, Eric quietly wrote down the matter of Chris Hansen.
Eric and Jeffrey were chatting when Barry Diller came over.
In addition to Robert and Jeffrey on the Firefly side, as the helm of the Fox Network, Barry Diller is also the one who pays the most attention to the "Friends" matter. Eric found out about Barry Diller as soon as he went downstairs. However, he originally wanted to wait for Murdoch to come down, and asked Murdoch directly about the outcome of the matter.
But for some unknown reason, Eric had been down for a while, but Murdoch hadn't appeared again, so Barry Diller couldn't wait, so he had to come over.
"Mr. Hansen, Eric, hello." Barry Diller greeted Eric with a smile.
After nodding to Barry Diller, Jeffrey knew that Barry Diller's target was not him, and said wittily, "Eric, let's talk, I'll go over there to say hello to an old friend."
Watching Jeffrey walk away, Barry Diller didn't get straight to the point, but asked softly with a clear look: "Eric, you bought the copyright of "Jinyumeng", right?"
Knowing that he couldn't hide from a smart person like Barry Diller, Eric smiled and nodded.
"I didn't pay much attention to the document selling the copyright of "Jinyumeng" when I first saw it, and then I thought about it after reading the script of "Sleepless in Seattle," "After saying this, Barry Diller made another pose A dissatisfied look: "Eric, this is completely unnecessary. The cooperation between us is very pleasant, isn't it? If you had proposed it in person, maybe Fox could sell the copyright to you for 1 million, 3.5 million The price is too high even for me.”
Eric laughed a little speechlessly, after the release of "Sleepless in Seattle" drove the sales of millions of boxes of "Jin Yumeng" video...
Well, he couldn't even imagine what Barry Diller's expression would be like when he arrived, but the manager who decided to sell the copyright of "Jin Yumeng" must have a miserable end.
Of course, it was impossible for Barry Diller to see through Eric's current thoughts. He took Eric's expression as embarrassment, and instead patted Eric on the shoulder in relief: "Forget it, this matter is over, Remember, if you need help next time, you must ask me yourself, okay?"
"Of course, I will," Eric nodded sincerely, and raised his glass with Barry Diller pretending to be grateful. At the same time, Eric made a decision in his heart that he must remind Xiao Nizi to try to win all the adaptation copyrights related to Fox in the copyright list he issued before the end of the year.
It is estimated that after this year, there is no need to extract anything from Fox. (To be continued..)
