After reading the draft of the feature article sent by "Forbes" magazine word for word, Drew, who was obviously a little confused, turned his head and looked at Eric for a long time, as if to find something out of the ordinary. A sentence popped up: "Eric, how about we buy another plane?"
Eric reached out and knocked on the girl's forehead, and said with a smile, "You plan to open an airline."
Drew just blinked his eyes, and said: "It's 136.7 billion US dollars, I suddenly feel that maybe we should hire a few more bodyguards."
"No," Eric shook his head, and said, "Let Natasha and the others make a sign and hang it outside the gate, saying 'Ms. I guess no one dares to come."
"Hehe," the girl laughed out of joy, and then she said seriously, "That's a good idea. I'll ask someone to buy a Gatling machine gun and put it at home tomorrow. Well, two, one for each twin."
Eric was just joking just now, and after hearing what the girl said, he realized that the United States is a country where guns cannot be controlled.
Although ordinary people still cannot buy heavy weapons like Gatling, it is not a problem for those top rich people. Among the people Eric knows now, there are many who like to collect war weapons such as tanks and cannons.
"Be careful, these things are not a joke," said Eric, who got up and said, "I'm going to make a few calls."
Drew nodded, seeing Eric walking upstairs, jumped up immediately, picked up the cordless phone on the table and started dialing, and after connecting, he muttered to discuss with someone I bought the 'Town House Artifact'.
After two lifetimes, and after so many years of accumulation, facing a wealth of more than 100 billion U.S. dollars, although Eric knows that this means that the social resources he can use are getting bigger and bigger, and his personal potential influence is getting stronger and stronger. But he has been able to take it with equanimity.
Moreover, this time Eric has no idea of hiding his wealth, and he doesn't plan to do it again in the future.
After all, Eric's personal assets exceed hundreds of billions. In the eyes of ordinary people, the legend will gradually become a legend. As the wealth under his name continues to grow, ordinary people will gradually become numb to this matter, because most It is difficult for people to imagine what a wealth of hundreds of billions of dollars means, so they will only gradually feel that it is just a bunch of numbers.
Of course, what needs to be done still needs to be done.
Eric talked on the phone with some acquaintances such as Chris and Buffett in the upstairs study, and discussed with them about the problems he might face next, and at the same time asked Kelly, who was in charge of the assistant office, to pay attention to the next period of time media public relations, and intervene when necessary.
Eric didn't want to gain a reputation like the Rockefeller family had.
Although we are in an era of information explosion, since the media channels in the United States are increasingly concentrated in the hands of a few large media groups, the manipulation of public relations has become easier.
With the media resources currently owned by the Firefly system, no matter what kind of media image Eric wants to create for himself, Firefly can basically do it.
Over the years, even though there have been all kinds of gossip and rumors about him in the circle, because Eric has always maintained a very low media exposure rate, his image in the public mind has always been very low-key, even somewhat mysterious.
Although the paparazzi will be more keen to dig out the privacy of celebrities and movie stars who want to keep a low profile, but for the super rich like Eric, there are very few paparazzi who dare to follow him.
After all, the paparazzi digging news is driven by profit. Chasing Eric is not only very difficult, the input is completely out of proportion to the output, but also the risk is frighteningly high. There is definitely more than one Silicon Valley tycoon in the United States who spent ten years setting up a special fund and sued a gossip website that exposed him as gay for bankruptcy. And the Firefly Group definitely doesn't need ten years to kill a gossip tabloid.
It wasn't until dark that Natasha knocked on the door, and Eric hung up the call with Chris and went downstairs with Natasha.
It's just that when I got to the stairs, I saw a black six-barreled machine gun in the middle of the living room, and the girl was still stepping on a pile of ammunition boxes on the floor, proudly posing to herself, Ai Rui K almost missed his foot.
This efficiency is too high.
"Hehe," seeing Eric's embarrassment, the girl laughed triumphantly, patted the dark barrel, and said, "Eric, this is M134, Shiva from "Terminator" Singer is the same model, I just had someone send it over, but that guy only has this one in stock, if you want it again, you have to wait for a few days."
Eric noticed a row of gleaming copper 7.62mm bullets in the open ammunition box on the coffee table, and felt his scalp tingling, which is obviously not fake. A high-velocity machine gun capable of firing 6,000 rounds per minute, a misfire or something, that would absolutely sieve anything.
Seeing that the girl was still fearlessly pulling up a load of bullets and trying to stuff them into the barrel of the gun, Eric finally recovered from his sluggishness, walked forward in two or three steps, and grabbed the girl's petite body He picked it up and pressed it on the sofa, and slapped his buttocks three times. Hearing the girl humming and hawing without any sign of remorse, she raised her hand three more times.
"Well...it hurts so much." When Eric let go of her, the girl lay softly on the sofa, turned her face and said expectantly: "Eric, we can take this machine gun to Palm Valley this weekend Hunting over there, there are a lot of wild boars there."
Still want to hunt
Hunt with the six-barreled rapid-fire machine gun!
genius!
Press and hold again.
slap-slap-slap-
Finally nothing happened.
Eric sat down on the sofa, looked at the twins who were at a loss by the kitchen door, and pointed to Gatlin in the living room: "This, whoever sent it, let the other party take it."
Hearing what Eric said, the girl who buried her head in the pillow immediately said in a muffled voice: "Eric, you've already paid, it's ours."
Eric subconsciously raised his hand again, and finally put it down, got up and walked to the machine gun, and said to the twins: "Move to the gym first."
The girl saw Eric and Natasha raised their guns together and walked towards the gym, got up from the sofa with a red face, hugged a pillow and followed Eric, and said, "Eric, I thought You will definitely like it very much, don’t men like guns?”
Eric stared at the girl helplessly: "Do you know how dangerous this thing is, and dare to put it in the living room?"
The girl curled her lips: "Eric, I'm already twenty-three years old, I'm no longer a little girl."
He just put the machine gun on the shelf that Eve brought in, and Eric couldn't help being stunned when he heard the girl's words. He looked at the baby face beside him that hadn't changed much, and suddenly felt a little emotional.
Before I knew it, it had been ten years.
Having been together for ten years, the girl can easily feel Eric's emotional changes, and she is inexplicably emotional. She throws away the pillow in her hand and comes over, hugs Eric's arm carefully, and admits her mistake: "Eric, You have pampered me so much that I can't grow up, so I need to pump a few times often, or how many more will you hit?"
"Okay, it's still my fault." Eric smiled slightly, lowered his head and kissed the girl's delicate face, and said, "Let's go to eat, and never touch these dangerous things again."
"Yeah." The girl nodded, "What about this one now?"
"It's confiscated. I'll take it back to Angle Manor tomorrow for my collection."
"Hehe, I knew it. You must like guns. There is no man who doesn't like guns."
After packing up a pile of ammunition boxes in the living room, everyone began to eat dinner.
"Although there are only eight episodes, this reality show has been filmed for two full months, accumulating more than 100 hours of material, and Chris also spent all of the $5 million budget," said after dinner. Drew took Eric to the living room upstairs and watched the sample of "Beverly Girls" together. Put the tape into the projector, turn off the light, the girl returned to the sofa, curled up comfortably beside Eric, and suddenly said mysteriously: "In the first episode, we also used a small plot you once said. , the effect is really great.”
"What plot?" Eric asked curiously.
However, Drew played tricks and said, "You will find out after a while."
Eric had to turn his attention to the TV screen.
The episode begins one early morning.
In the constantly switching montage clips and soothing background introductions, four girls living in different areas of Beverly Hills, Deborah Hall, Carly Whitlock, Kristen Heyman and Samir Caron, ushered in a new day for them.
Deborah Hall, like Drew, lives in the most luxurious Trousdale Manor in Beverly Hills. She is actually one of Drew's girlfriends, and she got a lead actress in this reality show. .
Through the self-introduction of the background voice, Deborah Hall's father is a very successful real estate businessman with a family wealth of about US$1 billion. Her mother is a typical housewife. Therefore, influenced by her mother, Deborah Hall's ideal is to find a good husband and become a housewife who enjoys a comfortable and prosperous life in the future.
However, the girl also added a sentence at the end very bluntly: This needs to be done after she has had enough fun.
Carly Whitlock, with iconic blond hair and blue eyes, is from New York. Her parents are lawyers. She grew up on the Upper East Side. She entered acting school at the age of sixteen and aspired to become an actor like Jodie Foster. Currently She works alone in Hollywood, but unlike those small-town dreamers who can only live in motels or basements, she lives in her family's vacation home in Beverly Hills. Her parents only come to Los Angeles every winter. a period of time.
In the shot, Carly Whitlock wakes up early in the morning and begins to make up in a hurry. She has an audition to attend today.
With her hair cut short and her penchant for baggy men's T-shirts and ripped jeans, Kristen Heyman looks like a tomboy and is often misinterpreted as lesbian, which she isn't. He is 23 years old and runs a bar down in Beverly Hills. In the camera, this energetic and thin girl is very forthright, talkative and loves to laugh, and she also does not shy away from her rich past.
She doesn't know who her mother is, her father lives in Chicago, and the relationship is estranged. Relying on the trust fund left by his grandparents to live comfortably, young and frivolous, bohemian, dropped out of school at the age of fifteen, had a child out of wedlock at the age of seventeen, married, fought, took drugs, and was in prison. As many as Jiazhen, she was enlightened at the age of twenty and began to travel around the world. Two years later, she returned to Los Angeles and opened a bar in Beverly Hills. She has a stable boyfriend. The latest goal is to regain the love of her six-year-old son. visitation rights.
The last Samir Caron, a typical son of the wealthy American elite, graduated from Stanford Law School and temporarily lives with his parents who run a restaurant chain in Los Angeles. He is currently doing an internship in a well-known law firm in Los Angeles.
Although they have very different personalities and backgrounds, these four girls have one thing in common. They are all proud children living in Beverly Hills.
In the smooth narrative shots, the completely different lives of the four girls are presented on the TV screen. Although he has already read the script and knows the development direction of the next thing, Eric still reads it with gusto.
The biggest characteristic of reality shows is to satisfy people’s desire for voyeurism, and the overall conservative style of the United States is doomed to many men and women who have not necessarily left the town where they live in their teens or twenties. Life generates a strong curiosity.
The first episode of "Beverly Girls" quickly fulfilled some of the imaginations of young people in Beverly Hills.
After a day's life, under the arrangement of the crew, the four heroines gathered together in a bar run by Kristen Heyman. At the same time, more and more handsome men and beautiful women appeared in the bar. After a series of scenes of feasting and feasting, the four girls and their partners came to the billiard room of the bar together, chatting and getting acquainted with each other while playing.
Immediately, Eric quickly understood what the girl meant when she said that she used a little plot that she had said.
In the picture, Deborah Hall, who is wearing a short dress and has a charming figure, complained that her hair blocked her view because she was behind in the score while playing with several men and women. So, amidst the whistling and booing of a group of men and women, Deborah Hall raised her hand seductively and picked up the hem of the skirt, took off the big red lace panties, and used the panties as a tie to pull up her hair. Tie into a ponytail.
Eric couldn't help laughing as he looked at the carefully arranged classic ponytail underpants on the TV screen.
Deborah Hall is a member of Drew's girlfriends group, and Eric can't remember when he told the girl this move that would definitely be very attractive, so this girl decisively used it on this reality show.
In order to hype "Keeping Up with the Kardashians", Kris Jenner directly asked her daughter to shoot a video and put it on the Internet. Now Eric is definitely unwilling to use such a low-level method, but looking at the picture on the TV, Eric said: "Hey, Drew, let someone make this scene into a dynamic GIF picture and upload it to the Internet Now, I promise 'Beverly Girls' will be even hotter."
"Hehe, we are ready to do this," the girl nodded with a smile. (To be continued.)
