I’m in Hollywood - Chapter 1188

[The first thousand one hundred and fifty-four chapters of the future]

After chatting with everyone for a while, Eric looked at the time, it was already five o’clock in the afternoon, and he got up to leave.

Hearing that Eric was going to leave today, the girls were obviously more disappointed than Carmen Keith, and Eugenia Volodina boldly said, “Eric, it’s too late now, Why don’t you leave tomorrow?”

“Tomorrow has something to do with tomorrow,” Eric put on the shoes that Carmen Keith handed over, stood at the entrance to look at a group of goblins who came over and wanted to send him out, and smiled: “I’ll accompany you next time when you have time. You talk, it’s raining outside, so you don’t have to come out.”

Eric said so, the girls all stayed in the living room obediently, and Carmen Keith insisted on following them downstairs.

Although the summer is long, the outside is still beginning to look a little dark at dusk due to the rain.

The two cars were already parked on the side of the road, and the driver saw Eric and Carmen Case come out of the apartment, got out of the car and opened the door.

Walking to the side of the car, looking at the reluctant expression of the girl beside him, Eric gently pushed her waist: “Get in the car and give me another segment.”

So he got into the car and watched the man hand over the umbrella to the driver next to him, and then he sat in, and was a little nervous. Wouldn’t he take him directly to Los Angeles, as if he wanted to be with Giselle and the others?

How can this be.

Eric sat down, noticed that Carmen Keith’s eyes flickered, and smiled: “I can only take you to the Hudson River, and I will fly to Long Island Airport from there.”

Immediately relieved, but still a little lost.

If he forcibly took him to Los Angeles, he would definitely not be able to resist.

A hand reached out and held her face softly, so she closed her eyes slightly, feeling the man’s kiss.

Eric just kissed the girl lightly on the lips, then let go of her and said softly, “Don’t think about it, don’t worry about gains and losses, I still prefer the way you look when you pounce on me.”

His face suddenly became a little rosy, but he still leaned on the man and asked, “When can you come again next time?”

“I’m not sure about this,” Eric put his arms around the girl’s waist and said, “However, I will definitely come to New York more often in the future, and you can also go to Los Angeles at any time. The airport on Long Island usually They will park a Gulfstream V, call me and they will arrange it for you. Of course, it’s not just Los Angeles, you can go anywhere you want, private jets will rust when parked there for a long time. So, do me a favor.”

Leaning on the man’s shoulder, just listening to him like this, I always felt very warm in my heart, and the corners of my mouth couldn’t help but twitch.

But he didn’t want to use his private jet in the past, although he knew that those things were not worth mentioning to him at all, just like ordinary people’s cars.

However, without him, I would definitely feel guilty.

But on the surface, he still nodded along with him: “Then I can go back to see my mother at any time.”

“Gulfstream V is definitely no problem to go to Eastern Europe. However, if you want to go back, I can borrow a big plane for you, which is more comfortable to fly long distances.”

“Um.”

Eric put the girl’s long soft hair on his side, and said, “I just saw them and suddenly found a problem. Have you thought about the future?”

She repeated the sentence with obvious confusion: “In the future?”

In the past, I still had a small plan for my future. However, too many things happened during this time. Now my life is a little messy, and I still have the heart to think about the future.

“Yeah,” Eric turned his head to look at the girl’s pretty face, and said, “As a woman from the Williams family, of course you can not work all your life, but I still hope you can do something.”

Hearing a certain name in the man’s words, her body froze slightly, and soon softened again, and said, “But, I don’t know what to do?”

“Firefly will have a lot of arrangements in Eastern Europe in the future,

For the time being the focus is on Finland.

However, Estonia is right next to Finland, and you happen to have you there. Maybe you can do more arrangements there, and you will be in charge of some things at that time,” Eric said, thought for a while and said: “Of course, this one It’s still a little early for you, so let me talk to Paul Rowland and invest a sum of money in WM, let you be a partner of this agency, and learn to do it first besides modeling Something about running the company.

”

“Well, I’ll listen to you,” she nodded, hesitated, and added: “I, in fact, I can invest my own money in WM, the endorsement fee from Victoria’s Secret and Dior, and a few others.”

After saying that, she immediately glanced at the man beside her with some anxiety.

Although WM is far inferior to industry giants such as Elite and IMG, if one of her signed models suddenly proposes to invest in the company against customers, she will definitely be rejected mercilessly.

However, if it is supported by Eric, the situation will definitely be different. WM shareholders will not care about her money as a model, but they are eager to climb the towering tree of the firefly system.

Eric originally only planned to let Carmen Keith practice his skills. Naturally, he didn’t like a small company like WM. Hearing what she said, he nodded and said, “Okay, just don’t cry if you lose.”

The annual marketing budget of the Firefly system is full of billions of dollars, and there are not too many places to use models, not to mention the whole of Hollywood.

Even if these are not mentioned, it is just a brand of Wei Mi, and a little more angel quota for WM is enough for this brokerage company to eat, and there may be losses.

She thought so, and said, “Perhaps, you can also invest a little in WM.”

If the Firefly system does not invest at all, there will always be some unjustifiable taste.

Eric smiled and said: “Yes, I have already started to think about things. In that case, you can talk to Paul Roland yourself. Tell him that Firefly only needs 10% of the shares, how much you can win, and how much you can get. Any price is up to you to negotiate with him, and I only pay at the end.”

Hearing him say that, she was a little embarrassed, but her little brain couldn’t help but start to figure it out.

Modeling agencies do not have the antitrust restrictions of Hollywood agencies. However, due to the low barriers to entry, the competition among modeling agencies is also very fierce.

Even after the birth of the Victoria’s Secret Army, the commercial value of the top supermodels in the entire industry has risen, but multinational industry giants such as Elite have an annual income of only four or five billion US dollars, and their profits are even lower.

In comparison, in front of the entire firefly system, WM is just a small shrimp next to a giant whale.

However, this can provide her with a precious ‘stage’ outside the show.

She has never been a willing and mediocre girl, but she had no chance before, but now, with the support of the man beside her, she was soon eager to try.

Considering that he will often travel between Long Island Airport and Manhattan in the future, in order to save time and make it easier to stop, Eric also built a helipad on the Hudson River, just on 66th Street, which leads directly to the ABC headquarters in the Upper West Side. end.

The two chatted like this, and the car had already entered the closed private apron gate on the Hudson River. The black VH-60 helicopter was already waiting by the river. Like the east coast, Long Island Airport is also equipped with two VH-60s. 60.

Today’s rain obviously did not mean to stop at all. After getting off the car, Eric and Carmen Case said goodbye, and hurriedly boarded the helicopter with his entourage and flew to Long Island Airport.

She stood by the tarmac with an umbrella, her face raised, her eyes followed the huge black helicopter and circled north along the Hudson River, then quickly went east, and then retracted again until it disappeared. under the umbrella.

The emotion of parting neutralized some of the excitement just now, and the mood suddenly became a little lower.

Two black Mercedes-Benz sedans were still parked next to them. The driver also belonged to the security department of Firefly Group. Later, the two exclusive cars of Eric will be driven back to the company’s garage, and a special person will be responsible for maintenance until Eric. gram next time.

After the last eavesdropping incident, the various security measures around Eric began to become stricter.

Carmen Keith is not the kind of person who likes to trouble others. When the shadow of the helicopter completely disappeared, she noticed that there were two cars waiting for her, so she hurried over.

The driver opened the car door, took her umbrella, and protected her with one hand to get into the car, and the two cars left the tarmac one after the other.

After a few minutes, he went back to his apartment again, opened the door and walked in, and inevitably there was a feeling that all the pumpkin car evening dresses had disappeared.

Fortunately, he certainly didn’t need a crystal slipper to find himself.

The girls didn’t leave, and when they saw her coming back, they all came up to greet her, giggling and asking all kinds of tentative questions. Although she would soon become one of the bosses of this group of girls, she was not in a hurry to reveal the matter. , Some absent-mindedly discussed with everyone about where to eat at night.

It takes at least two hours by car from Manhattan to Long Island Private Airport, but the helicopter arrives at the destination in half an hour.

The three girls of Giselle had been waiting at the airport for several hours. When Eric finally arrived, they could not help complaining a little, but they soon turned excited after boarding the Boeing 747.

Since it started on Carmen Keith’s side, Eric also called Gisele to the study in the forward cabin for a detailed discussion during the flight back to Los Angeles.

Of the three girls, he has always valued Gisele the most.

Giselle’s current contract is still under Elite’s, but Eric didn’t let Giselle take a stake in Elite like Carmen did.

Compared to WM, Elite is already a listed company.

Although Eric can easily swallow Elite in terms of market value, Gisele is obviously not able to participate in Elite management now.

After the discussion, Eric had another phone call with Cindy on the plane, and temporarily asked Gisele to help Cindy’s production company.

As for Alexander and Miranda, Eric didn’t have any arrangements for the two girls. The two girls didn’t have the kind of self-motivation Giselle had, they were just two pure little vases around them.

For Carmen Keith and Giselle’s arrangement, it is not Eric’s whim.

The Firefly system has developed to the current level, and global expansion will definitely be required next.

This is not because the development of the Firefly system in North America has reached its limit. In fact, in addition to the initial completion of the Hollywood layout, the major technology companies under Firefly Investments are still in the stage of rapid development.

But whether it’s Yahoo or Cisco or Nokia, these companies are destined to be global corporate giants.

If you start overseas expansion after the development of North America is saturated, you must have missed the best time.

On the other hand, according to the current size of the Firefly system, if you want to expand overseas smoothly, if you do not have a sufficient political layout overseas, you will definitely encounter many obstacles.

Take Europe as an example. In the past, when North America gradually relaxed its antitrust restrictions on technology giants such as Microsoft, the European Union began to increase its pressure on these companies.

Therefore, if the firefly system itself can be established in Europe in advance, this kind of trouble will definitely be much less in the future.

Of course, in the current Firefly system, if you want to support and win over, the target is often only one or more countries, not just investing in some politicians or groups.

After all, only this kind of national assistance can play an auxiliary role in the huge firefly system.

In fact, with Nokia’s share of the Finnish economy, as the absolute controller of the mobile communication giant, the Firefly system has actually had a very strong influence on the Finnish owners.

As a member of the European Union, if the European Union wants to suppress the Firefly system in the future, even if it is not directly targeting Nokia, but other companies such as Yahoo and Cisco, Finland is destined to stand on the side of the Firefly system.

However, just one Finland is obviously not enough.

Among the major member states of the European Union, it is too difficult to win over Germany and France. These two countries whose economies have reached their peak and are basically stagnant are definitely not Eric’s ideal goal.

In contrast, if it can get the help of News Corporation, the United Kingdom can provide great help to Eric, but Eric can’t pin his hopes on Murdoch.

What’s more, the UK has maintained an elusive relationship with the EU from start to finish.

Ultimately, then, self-reliance is king.

The target in Europe is naturally the Eastern European countries that are still in the stage of rapid development and have huge potential, and even Russia can be included.

The comprehensive penetration from economy to politics to the whole of Eastern Europe can not only open up another broad market with hundreds of millions of people for the entire Firefly system, but also, as long as it can form enough influence on these countries, even if the EU still wants to cooperate with these countries in the future. The United States is engaged in economic confrontation, and the firefly system will not become the pond fish that will be affected.

Outside of Eastern Europe, Eric’s other target is Latin America.

In the 1970s and 1980s, Latin America’s economy, like Southeast Asia in the early 1990s, experienced a long period of rapid growth.

However, due to mistakes in development strategies in various aspects, and the fact that the United States obviously does not allow an economy that can compete with itself in its ‘backyard’, the economies of Latin American countries have declined one after another since the late 1980s.

This happens to give Firefly another great opportunity for overseas expansion.

After all, although the Latin American economy has been sluggish for a long time, it is also a huge market with a population of more than 500 million.

Moreover, in addition to the expansion on the bright side, it is Eric’s ultimate goal to build the Firefly system into a separate economy that is independent of the national level.

Therefore, whether it is Carmen Keith or Giselle, they all belong to the seeds that Eric planted at will.

Eric doesn’t have much expectations for the two women, but if they can do well, as his own woman, Eric is more willing to let them play a greater role in the entire Firefly system.
