Both Eric and Katzenberg wanted the expansion of the Firefly Studios theme park project to go quietly. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

It's just that many things are destined to be unfulfilled, and on the second day of the opening of the "Titanic" theme exhibition hall, there was a lot of news in the media that the Firefly Group was about to build a theme park on the basis of Preavista Studios, and even analyzed the most likely plan for the eastward expansion of Firefly Studios very professionally.

Subsequently, the staff who had been secretly in contact with the residents in the east of Firefly Cinema for a period of time reported that all the residents who had almost agreed to sell the property repented. While most were willing to continue the talks, all of them raised the offer to an unacceptable price, with some residents even offering a whopping $1 million for a property worth less than $100,000.

In this case, you don't have to think much to know that someone must be doing the bad, and it's easier to guess who it is.

However, the plan to acquire 160 hectares of land west of Lincoln Avenue went very well, and as soon as the Firefly Group proposed, the Preavista District agreed, and the offer was only 50% higher than the original purchase of the studio plot by Firefly.

It's not hard to imagine that Preavista would love the Firefly Group to build a theme park in its own city. After all, a large theme park can not only pay hundreds of millions of dollars in taxes each year, but also create a lot of jobs. In the United States, taxes and jobs are basically indicators of the performance of the governing system at all levels, from the federal president to the mayor of a small town, if you want to win the support of voters, you can't escape these two major indexes.

Due to the disruption, the plan to expand eastward will not work in the short term. Management had to try to get the theme park design team to plan the plot west of Lincoln Avenue as much as possible to come up with a more feasible solution.

Eric secretly gave his and Caroline's hair to Katzenberg on Saturday night, and the other party promised to give the results to Eric on Monday, but the next day, Katzenberg called apologetically, saying that Eric's request for a cousin affinity test was difficult and that it could take three days to get accurate results.

It wasn't until Wednesday of the following week, early in the morning, in Eric's office at Firefly Studios, that Katzenberg brought a thick stack of identification reports.

"For the sake of secrecy, I specially asked people to take it to San Francisco for identification," Katzenberg took out the identification report from his file bag and put it in front of Eric, and continued: "The report just came this morning, and on the phone, the doctor in charge of identification told me that they had compared all 46 chromosomes of the two samples one by one, and selected nine preliminarily matched chromosomes for further fixed-point testing, and only one of the 50 DNA loci sampling of the nine chromosomes was different, and the matching degree reached 98% They then took another 50 DNA loci for testing, and this time they all matched. ”

Katzenberg said this, and seeing that Eric had already read the report intently, he said no more, whispered a greeting, and quietly left his office.

The entire appraisal report is more than 20 pages long, and the content is far more detailed than Katzenberg's, and there are many more professional comparison pictures.

Eric quietly flipped through the report, looked at the last page of the affirmative conclusion, and was silent for a while, then got up and walked to the shredder, and stuffed the report in his hand into the shredder along with the brown paper bag.

To be fair, Eric had no interest in the body's origins, and if it weren't for Caroline, he wouldn't have noticed anything. After combing through some of the details in his mind, Eric realized that perhaps, the woman had no intention of recognizing each other, and that was actually the best.

In front of a pile of confetti, there was a knock on the office door twice, and Eric answered and turned around.

Caroline walked in with a stack of papers, noticed Eric standing next to the shredder, looking at her with a strange expression on his face, and wondered, "Eric, what's wrong?"

"No," Eric shook his head, making a habitual joke, "a little unaccustomed, I almost thought schoolchildren had invaded my office." ”

Caroline wrinkled her nose dissatisfied, but the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, ignoring Eric's ridicule, put a few folders on Eric's desk, and said: "These are all things that you need to read and sign today, in addition, Ms. Pascal called, MGM's negotiations with Rainbow Media have been concluded, and she wants to make an appointment to talk to you." ”

"Call her now," Eric said, sitting down behind his desk, "Also, I forgot yesterday that I'm going to have a seat in the ship's dining room at noon, and I'm going to invite someone to dinner." ”

"Okay," Caroline nodded to make a note of it, making sure Eric had no other instructions before turning and exiting the office.

Listening to the sound of the door closing, Eric took a pen from the pen holder and held it in his hand, then opened the first document, which was the next stage of the Clover Fund's buying plan.

At the end of July, Thailand's monetary and financial markets have been a mess of chicken feathers, and international currency speculators have turned the spearhead to the second fat Indonesian rupiah in Southeast Asia after knocking out the marrow of Thailand.

Affected by the large-scale outbreak of the financial turmoil in Southeast Asia, the North American Nasdaq index has fluctuated quite frequently in the past month, and the original rapid upward trend has been temporarily suspended.

While there has been more talk of the Nasdaq market, Eric understands that this is the last opportunity for Clover to buy IT stocks at a lower price. As a result, in the next three months, Eric had people draw up a plan for investing in stocks of up to $1.5 billion, which will eventually increase to $3 billion or more as a result of the $2 billion equity investment originally planned for this year. However, in recent years, the overall performance of the Firefly Group has risen, coupled with the hot films such as "Titanic" and "Finding Nemo", which have brought unexpected large profits to Firefly.

Eric read the purchase plan carefully, looking at the list of hot high-tech companies, Eric suddenly remembered Larry Ellison, who had not heard from him for a long time, and did not know how the other party's plan to raise funds for the acquisition of Apple was going.

Thinking to himself, Eric picked up his phone and dialed it and chatted a few words, although Larry Ellison had a warm tone, but when it came to the acquisition of Apple, Eric noticed that Larry Ellison was a little flickering when he spoke.

Hanging up the phone, Eric thought for a while, shook his head and smiled, picked up the phone on the desktop and dialed Caroline, but it was Melanie who answered the phone, he didn't mind, and ordered: "Melanie, let someone check how Larry Ellison's plan to raise funds to buy Apple is progressing."
