Eric was stunned in doubt, and it took him a while to realize that this was the name he had given to the little guy in Joanna's stomach.
At that time, he came up with such a name because he thought of a certain sketch, which originally had some joking meaning in it.
After talking about it that day, Eric never mentioned it to the two women again. I didn't expect that Joanna would always remember it in my heart, and the woman was obviously very dissatisfied with this "random" name, until now I couldn't help but say it.
Although Eric was a little dumbfounded, he still followed Joanna's tone and said repeatedly: "Okay, don't call it Hawaii, don't call it Hawaii, you can name the little guy whatever you like, and I won't interfere."
Joanna showed a slight smile, nodded as if putting down a big rock in her heart, looked at Eric after thinking for a while and said in a low voice, "Hawaii... the name Hawaii doesn't sound good."
"Yeah, it's too ugly. It's all my fault. When the little guy is born, you can slowly give it a nice name." Eric nodded and said, neither he nor the two women paid special attention to the little guy Gender, until now only "it" is used instead.
Although Joanna doesn't have any delicate attributes, but her quiet personality makes Eric subconsciously feel that she must take much longer to have a baby than Virginia, and Eric has been ready for a long time. No rest preparations, but to Eric's surprise, a little over four hours later, the clear crying of the baby came from Joanna.
"Congratulations, Mr. Williams, you are a lovely little princess." Eric just walked out from Virginia when he heard the news. A nurse said to Eric.
"Thank you. Thank you for your hard work," Eric thanked, opened the door and walked into Joanna's room. Joanna had been moved to the wound and looked weak, but she did not fall asleep, but stared at Looking at the nurse who was giving the little one a warm bath.
After a while, the nurse washed the little guy. The package was delivered to Joanna.
"Eric, this is my daughter," Joanna said softly, looking sideways at the little baby's wrinkled face.
Eric squatted down on the edge of the wound, smiled and said, "It's our daughter."
"Well, our daughter," Joanna also showed a faint smile, stretched out her fingers and touched the baby's face lightly, then retracted carefully, with a trace of hesitation in her eyes. But soon he looked up at Eric and said, "Eric, the little guy should be called Hawaii."
"Ah..." Eric opened his mouth, and then smiled: "Forget it, I didn't pay much attention when I named this name, and you don't like it either."
"No," Joanna shook her head slightly, her tone firm: "It's called Hawaii, Hawaii Williams."
Eric couldn't guess what the woman was thinking, so he nodded: "Well, as I said just now, you decide the name of the little guy."
Joanna hummed, leaned in front of the little guy and yelled in a low voice, and then asked Eric: "Hawaii, what should I say as a nickname?"
Eric thought for a while, and said according to the pronunciation habits of his mother tongue in his previous life: "Xia Xia, what do you think?"
Joanna heard that Eric's pronunciation had nothing to do with the word Hawaii, and asked, "Does this nickname have anything to do with Hawaii?"
Eric explained: "Of course, according to the English pronunciation, maybe the nickname should be Haha, but I prefer the pronunciation habit of another language, Xia Xia, this name means summer, and summer represents vitality and blooming."
Joanna didn't ask Eric what language he spoke, and repeated the nickname several times before saying with satisfaction: "Xia Xia, it's good, it's called Xia Xia. By the way, Vicky's side how's it going?"
"There are so many doctors here, it must be fine, but you also know that most women tend to take a little longer to give birth for the first time," Eric said.
Joanna nodded: "Well, then you should go over there and watch her."
Eric didn't refuse either, he was also concerned about the other side, got up and said, "I'll ask someone to bring you something to eat, and then go to bed early."
"I know, you go over quickly."
Eric quickly moved to another room. Virginia had a sad face at this moment. She thought her child would be Eric's eldest son or daughter, but she didn't expect it to be Eric's eldest son or eldest daughter. brother or sister. Twelve hours had passed, and the baby might be in unknown danger due to lack of oxygen if it was delayed any longer. The doctors were already preparing for a caesarean section, and Virginia did not object at this time.
However, perhaps feeling that his mother was about to be stabbed, the little guy who had been quiet all this time finally planned to come out. The doctors briefly discussed and canceled the operation plan.
More than two hours later, a chubby boy came into this world crying.
…
Because the two little guys were born at the same time, there was too much noise. Although several non-disclosure contracts were supplemented afterwards, some information was inevitably revealed. However, because there were no photos or witnesses to testify in person, only some gossip tabloids attracted the attention of gossip lovers with plausible headlines such as the birth of an illegitimate child by a Hollywood director. Come out, most ordinary people who saw this news even just regarded it as another Hollywood gossip.
However, ordinary people's sense of smell is not sharp enough, which does not mean that the media will also be unresponsive. In just a few days, reporters from North America and even Europe gradually gathered in the originally deserted East Hampton, and it was easy to find Ai. The small manor that Rick bought was squatting.
The small manor had already been emptied, and these people stayed on guard for several days, but of course they found nothing.
Eric has brought two women to change places again at this time, this time, it is a farm borrowed by Eric, and the owner of the farm is Spielberg who just won the Oscar for Best Director .
Rosewood Farm is the summer residence of the Spielberg family. Normally, however, he will still live in Los Angeles. Two little ones were just born. Not suitable for long distance travel. Buying or renting another residence is not something that can be done in a short time. Eric just knew that Spielberg had an estate in East Hampton, so he called him. Hearing Eric's reason, Spielberg readily lent the farm to Eric.
The two little ones have been born for seven days. The well-prepared two mothers have arranged everything in an orderly manner. In addition, there are several nannies guarding them. Eric basically can't get involved. Eric was enthusiastic the day before yesterday. Changing his son's diaper. The little guy didn't know what to do, and started to cry inexplicably, so Eric was kicked out of the baby room by Virginia and ordered not to approach her baby bump.
This ban was of course just a joke, but the two mothers no longer let Eric do anything. Eric suddenly became the most leisure person in the manor. Before the child was born, Eric was not in the mood to do other things. Things, now that the two little ones have been born smoothly, Eric is relieved. I started my own work.
In addition to the working documents that would be sent over from Los Angeles as usual, Eric started to write the setting of "Charlie's Angels". also. Another thing came from Chris. The beta version of hotmail was finally launched. Eric used it himself immediately, although he was dragged by that guy named Steve Mitnick. It's a bit hot, but after using this email service, Eric is very satisfied. Due to various conditions, many websites now have some problems, and often there are problems such as loading difficulties, but these problems are on hotmail. Basically invisible, all functions of the mailbox are very smooth. After the trial, Eric immediately began to actively spread this communication method to the people around him. The management of Firefly was the fastest to accept this online email tool. Katzenberg and others now send several emails every day Discuss the problem with Eric.
At the same time, the hotmail tool was also promoted through the eye-catching interface link on the Yahoo homepage. Yahoo and IE have now covered more than 90% of Internet users. The convenience of hotmail, coupled with the free features of hotmail mailboxes, registered users exceeded one million. Fortunately, hotmail was well prepared and did not cause downtime accidents due to excessive server load. However, according to the current user expansion Speed, perhaps within a month, the coverage of hotmail may reach the same level as Yahoo and IE.
Chris was still a little worried about the operating prospects of the three companies. After all, if the continuous free strategy is always unprofitable, no one can continue to operate the company for a long time, not to mention that as the number of users explodes, the operating costs will also increase. If it continues to increase, even Eric may not be able to bear the consumption of only input without output in the future.
However, watching Hotmail's bloated users shrink, Chris soon relaxed. Even if the number of users of hotmail only reaches 10 million in the future, it can make good profits by relying on advertising emails and other operating methods. What's more, with tens of millions of users, it will definitely be able to continue to develop other profitable Internet profit methods.
At the same time as hotmail, there is a new official version of IE. IE has been a beta version for testing before. The launch of the official version of IE also marks the complete maturity of this browser's technology. Other computer companies want to surpass it in a short time. ie's technical advantage is almost impossible.
Sitting by the emptied swimming pool, Eric crossed his legs a little, and there was a laptop on the round table. While thinking about these things, he kept typing on the keyboard with his fingers, and from time to time he picked up the coffee next to him to drink After a few sips, it looks leisurely and comfortable. The child was born smoothly, and both Virginia and Joanna hinted that if Eric is busy, he can return to Los Angeles as soon as possible, and he doesn't have to be here with them. But Eric himself is not in a hurry to return to Los Angeles. When he was in Los Angeles, he was busy all day without touching the ground. Now he has been away from Los Angeles for more than half a month, and there seems to be no sign of chaos there. Of course, he, the boss, must be more lazy.
The notebook beeped softly, and Eric skillfully opened the browser and logged in to the mailbox.
Although hotmail has not launched a dedicated client, but you can install a plug-in in IE that prompts you to send and receive messages.
Those who know Eric's private email address, except for a few women and familiar friends, are the executives of Firefly Pictures. Although only executives above the department director level can obtain Eric's private email address, these The number of people is still quite a lot. Although Eric seems to have told him not to send emails to himself because there is nothing too important, he still receives a lot of messages every day, and some people even make small reports to Eric. Eric couldn't laugh or cry.
This is a work email from Jerry Bruckheimer. It is less than two months before the release of "Jurassic Park", and the film has entered the final period of intensive promotion. The publicity and distribution of the film are mainly jointly undertaken by Firefly's distribution department and Jerry Bruckheimer, the producer.
Eric was reading the document when Joanna walked over with a pot of coffee smiling.
"I think your coffee should be almost finished, so I made a new one for you," Joanna raised her hand, stepped over several data cables on the ground, walked to Eric, and took Eric's coffee The glass was filled, and Joanna pulled up a chair and sat down beside Eric.
"Is Xia Xia asleep?" Eric asked casually.
"Yeah, snoozing little guy," Joanna said with a happy face, casually glanced at Eric's laptop screen, inadvertently noticed some sentences, and couldn't help blinking her eyes.
Eric didn't hide his intentions, and pointed to the content of the email on the screen: "At a promotional event in Seattle yesterday, a reporter from a newspaper asked me on the spot that I didn't participate in the promotion of "Jurassic Park". Jerry led the team, he wanted to change the topic, but then another reporter asked me if I had an illegitimate child, heh, these people are getting bolder."
In the email, Jerry Bruckheimer simply described what happened yesterday in Seattle. However, he also expressed his concerns in the email. "Jurassic Park" will be released soon, and many people in the circle They all more or less knew that Eric had a child, and Bruckheimer was very worried that before the movie was released, someone with a heart would make a fuss about it.
