I’m in Hollywood - Chapter 1203

[Chapter 1168 Cardiotonic]

br/>

Considering that Eric and his entourage arrived in a dusty way and needed a rest, the barbecue party didn’t last long.

Less than ten o’clock, this private resort in the valley quickly returned to calm.

In a villa in the center of the resort, Eric sent the girl who wanted to be around him tonight to rest, and coaxed the three guys to sleep in person before coming to Virginia’s bedroom.

The woman was making the bed, and when she saw Eric coming in, she just glanced at it and didn’t care at all.

Eric took off the shell bracelet that Emma had just tied on his wrist and put it on the dresser, while saying to the woman: “Next, Firefly will set up a batch of scholarship funds around the world, and I won’t be with you. The purpose is not so simple. However, if the outside world knows that I am donating overseas but I am indifferent to the country, it will definitely cause criticism. Therefore, the local will also set up a family, which is purely charitable. You and Joan will take care of it together. How about it?”

Virginia sat on the edge of the bed and changed the pillowcase for a while, and said with a bit of air: “Joan and I are very busy, you let Crawford do it.”

Eric nodded seriously: “That’s fine, I’ll talk to Cindy next time.”

Then a pillow flew over.

Eric smiled and stretched out his hand to catch it, and said, “Just call the Virginia and Joanna Fund, okay? Put your name first. However, I’m short of money recently, so I can only donate $200 million a year for the time being. The two of you decide on your own charitable projects, of course, if you want to steal it, just be careful and don’t get caught.”

In the West, it is a very common phenomenon for husbands who are engaged in business and politics and wives to manage family charitable funds.

Eric’s setting up such a charity fund is equivalent to putting two women on the table.

The man has always been kind and gentle, and Virginia is too embarrassed to continue playing with her temper. She understands the meaning of this charitable fund for herself and Joanna even more.

After listening to Eric to the end, the woman rolled her eyes gently, and then said, “Joan is older than me, she must be in front, but what about you?”

Eric fiddled with the pillow in his hand, leaned against the dresser and said with a smile: “I have no problem, but if it’s called the Eric-Joanna-Virginia Williams Foundation, is it the name? too long?”

Virginia nodded immediately and said, “It’s just this name, I don’t think it’s too long.”

“That’s it, go to sleep, there’s a lot of things to do tomorrow.”

Eric threw the pillow back on the bed, unbuttoned his windbreaker, and planned to take a shower first.

Virginia got up and walked over, lowered her head to help Eric unbutton, without looking at the man’s expression, she said softly, “Will Kay be with you in the next few days?”

Eric took off his windbreaker and stuffed it into the woman’s arms, and said, “Okay, it’s time for the guy to learn how to manage the company. Let him follow me to a meeting these few days.”

Virginia folded Eric’s windbreaker and held it in her arms. Listening to the ridicule in the man’s tone, she said a little aggrieved: “That’s not what I meant, I, Kai, but your son, you…”

Eric loosened his tie, pretended to be impatient and twitched Virginia’s plump buttocks, interrupted the woman’s stammering, and said, “There’s a lot of nonsense, help me run the water, I didn’t see your man wanting to take a bath. ?”

Virginia let out a soft cry, glared at Eric hatefully, and walked towards the bathroom.

After putting in the hot water, Virginia helped Eric find clean underwear and walked into the bathroom. The man was already immersed in the bathtub comfortably.

Seeing that the woman put down her clothes and was about to go out, Eric reached out and pulled it, and Virginia sat down by the bathtub.

“I know what you’re worrying about,” Eric held the woman’s hand as he felt Virginia reach out to help him wash, “Xia Xia is indeed more likable to them than Kai, but, have you ever thought about it, With Xia Xia’s temperament, will she be interested in inheriting the family business and running the company in the future?”

In many cases, the smarter people tend to see wealth less,

The intelligence of Hawaii is beyond the comprehension of many people.

According to Eric’s observation of his daughter, the guy may be interested in many things in the future, but he will never compete with brothers and sisters like Kai for the inheritance of the Williams family wealth.

In fact, although he plans to pass on his wealth, Eric will not let his children fall into the current situation of competing for the family in the future.

The purpose of setting up the trust in advance is to be like the Rockefeller family, so that all children can enjoy the support of the family trust in the future. If you want to enjoy this wealth and glory for a long time, you must make concerted efforts for the continuation of the entire family. .

Virginia is also concerned and confused. Listening to Eric, she also gradually realized that Hawaii is more likely to become a genius scientist in the future, but it is difficult to become an entrepreneur.

However, the woman was unwilling to admit defeat on the surface, saying: “The movie you are still showing, Tony Stark, he is a genius.”

“You’re a movie,” Eric slid up Virginia’s arm, grabbed her softness that was more plump than any other woman, and said, “Okay, I’ll only advise you this time.” , I don’t care if I worry about it later.

In fact, you should understand that, as the eldest son of the Williams family, he is destined to take on more than other siblings in the future, so what you have to do is to teach Kai well, instead of worrying about these messes all day.

”

…

On the second day, the accompanying family members began to organize various activities. In addition to taking time to participate, the core executives of the Firefly system mainly focused on exchanges and meetings one after another.

The theme of this gathering was a discussion on ‘sustainable business models for new technology industries’.

In addition to its own serious bubble factor, the most critical reason for all the collapse of the Nasdaq index is that most new technology companies have failed to form a complete and effective business model.

Therefore, just like the analysis chapter of “Barron’s Weekly”, once the funds of these new technology companies that only know how to burn money madly are exhausted, and there is no revenue model that can supply blood for the company, then the result is only to die. this way.

Of course, although this topic is within the core topic of this gathering, in fact, it is more of a pretext for the outside world.

After all, even if the Nasdaq bubble burst and the size of the assets controlled by the Firefly System has shrunk significantly, the gathering of the core executives of the Firefly System still attracted strong attention from the outside world. Australian Prime Minister John Howard also took time to come over at noon on Tuesday to meet everyone Dine together.

Media from all over the world have also contacted the Firefly system companies, hoping to get the opportunity to interview the gathering.

Therefore, under such intense attention, sensitive issues such as strengthening the cooperation between enterprises within the Firefly system and excluding competitors from the industry must not be disclosed to the public.

In addition, the next development goals of the Firefly system, the upcoming new businesses of Yahoo and other core companies, and some important personnel adjustments between companies are all within the agenda of this meeting.

Eric also preliminarily determined the list of members of the upcoming Williams Trust Fund Council through this gathering, and basically all the core executives of the Firefly system are listed.

As a living trust, Eric can adjust the list of the council at any time, and even completely cancel the entire trust fund when necessary, so he is not worried about the risk of these executives leaving the Firefly system in the future.

The members of the trust fund council have determined that if something unforeseen happens, this group of people can quickly preserve the Firefly system.

In the future, the changes and replacement of council members will naturally operate in accordance with the established rules of the trust fund.

Although only the Herald Sun, Yahoo Portal, and A Group, which are affiliated to News Corporation in Australia, had limited interview rights for the gathering, the gathering’s topic of ‘sustainable business models for the new technology industry’ came out. , or has aroused heated discussions in countless media around the world.

Stimulated by this topic, the turbulent Nasdaq capital market also began to calm down.

After the market opened on Monday, the Nasdaq’s downtrend clearly began to slow.

Moreover, with media discussions and industry analysts’ optimism about the upcoming new quarterly financial reports of Yahoo, Cisco, Amazon and other companies, the stock prices of several new technology companies in the Firefly system have even rebounded.

And so on until Thursday, August 12th.

After the four-day gathering, the Firefly system companies finally broke the first real good news.

At 9:00 a.m. local time in New York, just after going to work, Amazon suddenly announced that Firefly Investment will once again provide Amazon with $500 million in convertible bond financing with an annual interest rate of only 5% for the further expansion of Amazon’s online store and logistics system.

The convertible bond means that Firefly Investments can choose to convert the bond into Amazon stock at any time within a certain period.

With the collapse of the Nasdaq, among the entire Firefly system, Amazon is the least optimistic about the market.

Compared with Yahoo, which has a market share of more than 0%, or Cisco, which has formed a stable profit, and even Qualcomm, which is destined to shine in the era of mobile communication g, Amazon has no obvious advantages in all aspects.

Therefore, since the crash, Amazon’s stock price has fallen by more than 6% as a whole, and its market value has fallen from $500 million at its peak to $1.1 billion at the close of last week. Many analysts on Wall Street believe that Amazon’s stock price may eventually fall and reach 90% %.

Moreover, due to Jeff Bezos’ aggressive expansion strategy, Amazon’s cash flow has been on the verge of drying up, and some media even thought that the Firefly system was likely to completely abandon Amazon in the near future.

Under such a one-sided bearish situation, Firefly Investment suddenly announced that it will inject another $500 million into Amazon, which is enough to overturn many pessimistic arguments in the industry.

Stimulated by this good news, the Nasdaq stock market just opened on Thursday, and Amazon’s stock price, which was already hovering on the edge of the tens of billions of dollars in market value, directly rebounded by 6%, and the stock price rose by % throughout the day.

While the entire new technology market is closely watching what the firefly system’s core high-level gathering will bring to the Nasdaq market, another announcement that was so sudden that countless people didn’t react to it appeared again on Friday.

On the afternoon of August 1, one hour before the Nasdaq closed, the U.S. Department of Justice held a press conference.

In view of the fact that federal judge Thomas Jackson violated judicial procedures and released Microsoft’s antitrust information to the media, Clinton personally issued an order to remove Thomas Jackson from the position of the judge in the Microsoft antitrust case.

At the same time, considering Microsoft’s active cooperation in the antitrust investigation stage, the Federal Ministry of Justice decided to temporarily suspend the investigation of Microsoft’s antitrust behavior and restart the settlement negotiations with Microsoft.

In recent years, Microsoft has been clouded by the prospect of a forced breakup.

If the operating system platform is separated from the company, Microsoft’s advantages in software applications, network business, enterprise services, etc. will disappear.

Now, the Department of Justice has abruptly stopped the antitrust investigation of Microsoft, which has been in the final stage, and restarted settlement negotiations, which is equivalent to directly abandoning the decision to break up Microsoft.

While many realize that the Department of Justice made this compromise likely to avoid further spurring a new tech market that continues to plummet, this strong positive news does have an immediate effect.

Just after the press conference, the Nasdaq index jumped out of an obvious upward curve at the end of the day. In just half an hour, the Nasdaq index rose by 9%.

Two days in a row, the Nasdaq index, which had been slumping for nearly a month, finally stabilized.

However, in the following weekend, a series of good news about the Firefly system was announced, which brought tears to the eyes of many Wall Street investment institutions.

Everyone realizes that with this series of good news, the Nasdaq will soon enter a period of rebound.
