"Chris, do you know Cisco?" asked Eric with some excitement, remembering that Cisco may not have been listed yet, so with his current net worth, he must be able to make a big stake. Eric doesn't even ask for too much, even if he only gets 10%, after ten years, the value of this stake alone can give him a taste of being the richest man in the world.

Chris thought for a moment and asked, "You mean the router company that Sequoia Capital invested incubate?"

"yes, you know Cisco, too?" asked Eric, who knew about the company, and that didn't seem to be good news, was it......

Chris didn't see the uneasiness in Eric's expression, and said with an inexplicable smile: "Of course I know, because the company that operates Cisco's listing is also our company, which happens to be in the same department as us, but it's not a group, his name is George Kelly, that guy has spent months trying to persuade several major shareholders of Cisco to agree to the IPO plan, and is now lobbying everywhere, hoping that some investment institutions can take over Cisco's shares when Cisco goes public in February next year." ”

In this way, it is not yet on the market.

Eric breathed a sigh of relief, he had just heard that Chris was familiar with Cisco, and thought that this company had gone public, or that this company was being targeted by a big investment bank like Morgan Stanley, so it was not easy for him to take advantage of it

"Chris, can you do me a favor?" Eric thought for ±a moment, ww≡w.●t for a moment, then stared at Chris seriously, and said, "Help me buy Cisco's shares, as many as I can." ”

Chris was puzzled for a while: "Eric, now some investment institutions are being pestered by George Kelly to avoid leaving, and many people are not optimistic about this company." ”

Jeffrey, who had been listening quietly, also persuaded at this time: "Eric. If you want to invest. Let Chris help you find some valuable companies. This is what you're talking about...... What Cisco, I think it's better to forget it. ”

Eric shook his head firmly, continued to stare at Chris, and said, "Chris, can you do me a favor?"

Chris seemed to be infected by Eric's gaze, nodded subconsciously, and then said, "Eric, if you are interested in this company, I can help you ask George Kelly for some more detailed information." You'd better look at it and decide later. ”

"No, I've already decided. ”

Chris and Jeffrey glanced at each other, and Jeffrey whispered, "Eric, were you ...... just now?" A little too much?"

"Listen, Jeffrey, and Chris, I'm awake now, neither dazed nor drunk. Well, actually...... I've seen some of Cisco's stuff before, and I think this company might be like Microsoft, Oracle, or Apple. Become an industry giant. So, Chris. Can you give me some good jianyiyi?"

Chris glanced at his father, he knew that Jeffrey was most familiar with Eric, and Jeffrey thought about Eric's previous personality, it seemed that what Eric had decided to do before, he had never succeeded in dissuading him. So Jeffrey nodded at his son.

After getting his father's confirmation, Chris said: "Then, Eric, if you decide, it is best to set up an investment company first, or find an investment company to help you act as an agent, Morgan Stanley has a special private wealth management department, with your current net worth, you will definitely receive the top service, of course, you also have to pay a lot of commissions." So I recommend the former option. Next, it's very simple, through the investment company to buy the shares of Cisco, and then find a professional manager to join the Cisco board of directors to help you take care of the things after the stock acquisition, of course, you can also do this yourself, but I think you definitely don't have the time, and you don't want to do these more professional things yourself. ”

Eric thought for a moment, glanced at Chris, who was sitting opposite, and suddenly said, "Chris, how about you help me manage this investment company?"

"Me?" Chris pointed to himself.

Eric nodded: "Yes, don't worry, this company will not be petty, I guarantee that the company's capital will not be less than $100 million." ”

Chris knew that Eric wouldn't make such a joke and struggled.

He's now a senior manager at Morgan Stanley, and a lot of people do that in investment banks, it takes at least seven or eight years, and he only takes four years, and he's likely to be promoted again after another year.

Now, suddenly, another opportunity appeared in front of him, and if it wasn't Eric who was talking to him, but someone else, he might have said yes right away. But Eric was too young, which made him hesitate, afraid that Eric was on a whim.

"I know what you're afraid of, Chris, but trust me, it wasn't a decision I made on a whim, I assure you. If you don't believe me," Eric looked at Jeffrey next to him and said, "Jeffrey can testify." ”

Jeffrey touched his nose and smiled dryly, "Let me promise what?"

"Make sure I'm not on a whim, you should be familiar with my character. ”

"But as far back as I can remember, you did a lot of things on a whim," Jeffrey said in Eric's frustration, then smiled and added, "But you were proven right later." Chris, I think, you can try. ”

Chris pondered for a moment and said, "Eric, I need to think about this matter, and I will give you an answer as much as I can." ”

"No problem," Eric nodded, not rushing.

It wasn't until ten o'clock in the evening that Eric took the initiative to leave Jeffrey's house with the two little girls.

The Thanksgiving Day passed quickly, because of the dispute, none of the three of them ate the turkey, the two girls fooled around and overtook the president of the United States to pardon the two turkeys they bought, and after the holiday, Aniston went to work and left the villa, and Eric was also relieved. While paying attention to the box office of the three movies related to Firefly, the casting of "The X-Files" has also begun, because after two months of busyness, the screenwriting team has basically completed the script for the first season of "The X-Files".

At Disney's headquarters, the assistant knocked on the door a few times and pushed it open, saying to Michael Eisner, who was busy, "Mr. Eisner, Mr. Robin is here." ”

"Let him in," said Michael Eisner, putting down his pen.

Bruce Joy Robin quickly walked into the office, and he had a very good time these days, because the script of "The Ghost Is Not Dead" was spread all over Hollywood by Eric, and he almost met the top executives of the seven major companies, and there were countless small film companies that came together to want to cooperate, and the prices of people who wanted to get the script were getting higher and higher, but it never met his expectations.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Robin," Michael Eisner walked around his desk and shook hands with Bruce Joy Robin smiling.

Bruce also lost the feeling of flattering when he met with the Seven Executives not long ago, and after shaking hands with Michael Eisner, the two sat down on the sofa together.

Michael Eisner did not make any comments on the script of "The Ghost Is Not Settled", and said: "Mr. Robin, I have already read the script, and I invited you here today to ask you about something. ”

"Mr. Eisner, don't hesitate to say something. Bruce took a sip of the coffee his assistant had brought him.

Michael Eisner patiently watched Bruce pretend for a while, waited for the other party to put down the coffee cup, and then asked, "I just want to know one thing, what did Eric Williams say when you talked to him in the first place, and if your answer satisfies me, I will give you a very good price." ”

Bruce Joy Robin frowned, and Michael Eisner's commanding tone made him very uncomfortable: "Mr. Eisner, Mr. Williams said that he was very optimistic about the script and wanted to buy it and direct it himself. ”

Michael Eisner shook his head: "No, I'm very familiar with that little guy, he would never say such a thing, I need you to restore the plot when you met him." If you continue to lie, or don't want to say, then you can leave now. If you tell me everything about the situation, and the result is satisfactory to me, I'll give you a very lucrative screenwriting contract. I know that the highest offer at the moment is Paramount, they gave you $600,000 and a 2% profit share, and believe me, my offer is definitely higher than theirs, it depends on whether your answer can satisfy me. ”

Bruce felt unhappy for a while, and almost wanted to leave, but he wouldn't have trouble with the money, so he endured it after thinking about it, and gave a general account of the situation when he and Eric met.

Michael Eisner listened patiently, and he certainly knew that Bruce couldn't be honest and honest, and that it was inevitable to add some embellishment. So he's judging that there's moisture in what Bruce says.

After Bruce finished speaking, Michael Eisner leaned back on the couch and thought for ten minutes.

It all started with the celebration of the box office hit of "Island Cry", which was held by Disney, and the most people were on Disney. So Michael Eisner has told a lot of people about the whole thing.

What he can judge at the moment is that Eric did not take the initiative to approach the group of people on the party, but passed by by chance, surrounded by the group of guests, and only heard about the script by chance, and only chatted a few words at that time, and there was a general manager of Disney's distribution department in that group, according to the other party, Eric did not show anything unusual at that time. Well, Eric was very optimistic about this possibility as soon as he heard a few people talking about this script
