Opening his email, Eric noticed an email that Chris had just sent at noon and clicked on it. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The content of the email is the latest list of major shareholders and shareholding percentage information of AOL.

Although the Firefly system gave up its seat on AOL's board of directors and completely stopped interfering in AOL's management, it did not completely ignore the company.

After a few months of operation, Firefly Investment basically completed the reduction of 25% of AOL's shares, and successfully cashed out a huge amount of $10 billion.

In the first phase of the 10% stock reduction operation, in order to ensure that their investment gets sufficient returns, after taking over the shares reduced by Firefly Investment, the stakeholders behind AOL also joined Morgan Stanley in advocating the prospect of technology stock investment, so that AOL's actual stock price gradually far exceeded the reduction price of Firefly Investment.

In order to ensure the success of the subsequent distribution of 15% of the shares, Morgan Stanley not only invested a lot of resources, but also appropriately played a hand of hunger marketing, which cleverly attracted more Wall Street capital's attention to AOL stocks. Eventually, when the official distribution date came, Morgan Stanley's portion of the shares it underwrote was already fully subscribed.

According to the latest stock price information, AOL's market capitalization has reached $53.6 billion at this time. If calculated according to this market capitalization, Firefly Investment is equivalent to a loss of $3.4 billion in the course of this reduction action. However, Eric is more pessimistic about the future of AOL than most media and investment institutions. With this $10 billion, even if the remaining 10.6% of the shares in his hand are all depreciated into waste paper, Firefly Investment will definitely make a lot of money.

With the clatter of high heels in his ears, Eric came back from his thoughts to see Anne Hathaway carefully placing a cup of freshly brewed hot coffee next to her.

"Thanks," Eric said, moving the cup to his preferred position, turning his head to glance at Anne Hathaway, "by the way, take off your heels." ”

Eric's tone was casual, and after he finished speaking, he turned his gaze back to the computer screen, but Anne Hathaway's heart was tight.

It's coming so soon.

Eric held the mouse and pulled down the email page a little, felt that the girl next to him was silent, turned his head to look, and said, "What's wrong?"

"No, nothing. ”

Anne Hathaway shook her head quickly, hesitated for a moment, bit her lip and silently kicked off her high heels, and then removed her shoulder straps, and took off her black gown.

Eric felt something strange and turned his head again, and saw Anne Hathaway next to him wearing only a small coat, and her development was really good.

"Heh, you're really good at drawing inferences. Eric couldn't help but smile.

Although there are many women around him, Eric has become more and more restrained in the past few years, and once he is busy, he will not even touch women for ten days and half a month. Last night, I took care of the two little drunk cats like a dad until the middle of the night, and I had accumulated some anger, and seeing the situation in front of me at this time, Eric didn't let the girl put her clothes back on, and reached out to turn off the monitor, Eric leaned on the office chair and stepped back a little on the ground, and said, "Come here." ”

In the evening, Eric and Anne Hathaway came to the ship again, but this time instead of going to the small restaurant, they had a place in the large dining room that was open to the public. There was no one else in the diner on Sunday night, and it was a bit silly for two people to sit there and eat.

The restaurant on the big ship has long been one of the most exclusive restaurants in Los Angeles, and the seats are usually sold out early on weekends, but these are certainly not a problem for Eric.

On the window seat where she could enjoy the bright lights of Santa Monica in the distance, Anne Hathaway had a still somewhat pitiful expression on her face, and ordered a steak from the waiter in a small voice, and then cautiously glanced at the man opposite, but with a little pride in her heart, she couldn't help but think of the afternoon.

When Eric called her to her side and knelt down, she felt very aggrieved.

You must know that since she was a child, she has been like a little princess at home or at school, although she has also had a boyfriend, but because of her high spirit, she has not even given her first kiss to the opposite sex, and she has to do that kind of thing for the first time. However, in the face of Eric's strength, she still behaved very obediently, and comforted herself in her heart to do those things for a big man like Eric Williams, which was a matter of course.

So now, looking at Eric, who had a really troublesome expression on his face at this time, but his attitude towards her was obviously much better, Anne Hathaway knew that her efforts should not be in vain.

I just don't know if I can be his girlfriend. Or, one of the girlfriends, it doesn't seem like something hard to accept either. After all, this is Eric Williams.

I thought it was just ONS, well, or ODS, but I accidentally saw red with a bayonet. Eric is also depressed, not having enough fun and being in trouble.

After recalling it carefully, I was very careful about the protection measures from beginning to end.

That's good.

Since the birth of the two little ones, Eric has been paying great attention to this aspect of things, not that he is worried that a woman who is pregnant with her child will ask for huge alimony or anything like that, but he feels that it is deserved, and money is not any burden for him now. Eric just didn't want to bring a little guy into the world without any preparation, he wasn't an irresponsible person, but he was worried that he wouldn't be a responsible father. In fact, judging from the women's reactions, he is indeed not a reliable father.

Perhaps, it is not a reliable lover and lover.

Failure!

However, I looked at Anne Hathaway on the other side.

Well, that doesn't seem bad.

Anne Hathaway saw Eric looking over, her face showed a shy expression, her eyelashes flashed, and she whispered, "Eric, I, can I go to Sharp Corner Manor tonight?"

Eric made a special call before dinner, and the girl took the twins to fly directly to the east coast in the Gulfstream V she had just received, and at this time she was already on Joanna's side, and the chick also had a party with friends tonight, and left Sharp Horn Manor in the afternoon.

Looking at the wistful gaze of the girl in front of him, Eric hesitated, but nodded and said, "Okay, but Annie, I can state in advance that you had better not expect anything from our relationship." ”

Anne Hathaway suddenly showed a hurt expression, but nodded obediently: "I understand." ”

Eric took a sip of the juice in his hand and said, "Let's talk about you, do you have a brokerage now?"

"Yes," Anne Hathaway nodded, "I signed a contract with an elite talent agency a few months ago. ”

Eric remembered something, a little unsure: "Is that the agency behind the Pirates of the Caribbean script?"

"Yes," Anne Hathaway smiled at the corner of her mouth, but remembering that the man in front of her had bought a big movie company for a script, she couldn't help but be in awe, and said, "Actually, I almost signed a contract with Matt Gilson, but he already has a few artists under him, so I will miss it." My current agent is Carl Franco, and my dad introduced him. ”

After completing the acquisition of Sony's Pictures business, Eric looked at the original contract signed by Sony Pictures with the two writers of "Pirates of the Caribbean", and did not pay special attention to Terry Rucio and Ted Elliott. has already paid $7.5 million, and Sony Pictures could not agree to other additional conditions at the beginning, and the two screenwriters got such a huge amount of money, and they also did not ask for more, and the two sides were in a good deal.

Although even in the other party's position, Eric estimates that he will choose to sell the script directly, however, it is naturally impossible for him to hand over the adaptation rights of the script to those two people.

At this time, hearing the coincidence that Anne Hathaway happened to be in the elite talent agency where the two screenwriters worked, Eric didn't have too special ideas, and just skipped the topic with a sentence.

Anne Hathaway saw that Eric didn't seem to be interested, but she was a little worried about whether this topic had upset the other party.

The "Pirates of the Caribbean" script incident happened some time ago, because Anne Hathaway had signed into the name of the agency at that time, and the heat caused by this script at that time also inexplicably generated some pride, but at this time, the mentality changed a little, and she felt that if she was Eric, she would definitely be very angry.

After a moment's hesitation, Anne Hathaway felt that perhaps she should make amends, so she said, "Or, Eric, I'll change agencies?"

Eric patiently slice a piece of cod steak, and the idea of using chopsticks came to mind for the Nth time, but he just thought that if he really did this, it would be simply weird in the eyes of the people around him. Even, after all these years, Eric felt that he probably no longer knew how to use chopsticks.

Hearing Anne Hathaway's words, Eric looked up and asked, "Do you have any famous actors in your agency?"

"Andy Garcia," replied Anne Hathaway, "he played 'The Godfather 3' and got a Best Supporting Actor nomination for it." ”

Anne Hathaway subconsciously reported the name of the biggest actor in her company, and when she saw Eric's blank face, she smiled awkwardly, thought about it and added: "In addition, it is said that Michelle Pfeiffer also spent some time in our company, but soon after becoming famous, she jumped to WMA." In addition to Andy Garcia, we also have a couple of TV stars in our company, Morgan Fairchild, who also made a cameo in your "Friends" as Chandler's mother. Tsk, it's said she's forty-eight years old now, but she looks like she's thirty, if only I could be so well maintained by then. ”

Eric listened to Anne Hathaway Balabala, and finally smiled: "Then stay in this company, maybe in a few years you will become the eldest sister, change to a big brokerage company, you may only be a little goldfish." ”

Anne Hathaway's big eyes flashed, and she quickly nodded: "Well, Eric, I will do what you let me do." ”

Eric nodded in satisfaction, "Very good, I like good girls." ”

Early the next morning, in the spacious master bedroom of the Sharp Corner Manor.

Feeling the movement of the man next to her, the girl who was lying on the big bed softly opened her eyes sleepily, looked around in a daze, and quickly woke up.

Watching Eric get up and walk to the bathroom, Anne Hathaway picked herself up and got out of bed.

It's just that when I look left and right, I think that all my clothes from the inside out were taken by Eric and washed by the servants of the manor last night. The soundproofing in the bathroom was very good, she listened intently for a while, but did not hear a sound, hesitated, wrapped a sheet and got out of bed barefoot, and walked curiously to the window.

It is estimated that it is less than seven o'clock in Los Angeles in October, when the sun has not yet risen.

However, standing by the floor-to-ceiling windows of the circular bedroom with excellent views, the magnificent scene of the sky and the sea outside the window still makes it difficult for Anne Hathaway to calm down.

It would be nice to be able to stay here forever.

The thought came to her, and Anne Hathaway suddenly felt that she might have to lie back on her big bed and pretend to be unbearable, so that she could stay here for a few more days.

Reluctantly, he walked around the bedroom around the floor-to-ceiling windows, surveying everything around Malibu like a princess in a castle patrolling her city. I don't know how long later, just as Anne Hathaway was about to make up her mind, the bathroom door was opened.

Eric came out of the bathroom wearing a bathrobe and wiping his wet hair, and when he saw the girl standing by the glass window wrapped in a sheet, he smiled and said, "Are you awake?"

"Ah, well, I, good morning, Eric. ”

I regret it a little, alas, I can't pretend now.

Eric walked to the side of the big bed and got dressed, saw that the girl was still standing by the bed, and took out a shirt from his closet and said, "Let's go wash up first, I will prepare a new toothbrush for you, wait and put on my shirt first, forget about the pants, you can't wear them." ”

Anne Hathaway nodded, smiled reservedly, and headed for the bathroom.

After washing up and putting on Eric's shirt that looked very wide over her body, Anne Hathaway couldn't help but put her neckline to the tip of her nose and sniffed it, with a faint lemon smell on her clothes. Reluctantly lingering in this large bedroom for a while, she pushed open the door and looked all the way downstairs.

It's so big here.

What's even more rare is that it is very clean, walking all the way downstairs barefoot, without feeling anything stained on the feet, and I don't know how to clean it.

With these thoughts in her heart, she wandered around the villa like a cat for a while before she found the kitchen, where Eric was making an omelette with his shirt sleeve and a frying pan in his hand, although this scene seemed a bit inconsistent to her, she still stepped forward and asked, "Eric, can I help me?"
