Waiting for Robert Shay to walk away, Eric said to Jeffrey: "Jeffrey, you have also seen that because of this incident, Firefly has spent nearly $80 million more this year, and the funds will be very tight, so how about splitting your producer this year into all the shares of the company at the end of the year?"

Jeffrey was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "It's something I can't ask for, but Eric, are you going to dilute Robert's stake so soon?"

"Of course not," Eric laughed, "If you do that, Robert will probably have the heart to kill me, and I will transfer some of my shares to you, I hope you won't mind too little." ”

"No, I will take as much as you give me," Jeffrey said indifferently: "If it weren't for watching the fireflies step by step to the top, I would have ∮ by now, and ≥ would have retired." By the way, some time ago I bought a farm in Maryland, about 2,000 acres, which happened to be the place where my wife grew up, and now it's in the hands of someone else. When the fireflies don't need me anymore, I will take the initiative to leave, go to that farm to grow corn, hunt, and guard that place to enjoy my old age. ”

Eric had a sore nose, and it was hard to say what would have been the case without the help of the great team that Jeffrey and his fabled wife had cultivated. However, after Geoffrey finished speaking, Eric pretended to have a look of intolerance and said: "Okay, okay, Geoffrey, you are neither Juliet's Romeo nor the mermaid's prince, you are just a middle-aged balding fat man, don't say so sensational, okay?"

Jeffrey knew that Eric wasn't really blaming himself, that the smart young man just didn't want to dwell on the past. So he said with a rare humor: "Of course I'm not the person you said." I'm Jeffrey from Sorena. ”

"Wow. I'm going to throw up anyway,"

Jeffrey shook his head with a smile, "But, Eric, if I do leave in the future, don't forget to come and see me on the farm once in a while, you know, my ...... There are not many relatives. ”

Eric asked cautiously, "You...... Haven't you reconciled with your son yet?"

Hearing this question, Jeffrey was a little disappointed: "It can't be said that there is no reconciliation, but it is not very harmonious." Chris is busy. We don't see each other more than a few times a year, so it's not surprising that the relationship is a little light. ”

Eric was a little curious: "Speaking of which, I really have never seen your son, you just said that his name is Chris, what does he do?"

"He works on Wall Street. ”

Wall Street, it sounds more high-end than Hollywood, Eric couldn't help but think so, and asked, "Which company on Wall Street?"

"Morgan Stanley. ”

"Wow!" Eric couldn't help but sigh, although he didn't care much about it, Eric knew it. Morgan Stanley is one of the four largest investment banks alongside Merrill Lynch, Goldman Sachs and Citigroup, and almost all of these giants are behind many famous financial storms in my memory.

"I thought it would be possible. Just let him work for Firefly, since it is the famous Morgan Stanley, it will definitely be no fun. ”

When Eric said this, Jeffrey couldn't help but show a little pride, even if the relationship between their father and son was a little distant and cold, there was no father who would not be proud of his son's excellence.

"Eric, if you want to make some investments in the future, you can try him. I don't know exactly what he does, but Chris must have been very good professionally, and when I was at the University of Pennsylvania, he always got a full scholarship and never asked me to pay a penny for tuition. ”

When Eric heard Jeffrey's words, many thoughts flashed through his mind.

But these immature thoughts were quickly suppressed, and he had never even met Chris Hansen in person, and it was certainly impossible to make any decisions now because of Jeffrey's few words. But in his heart, Eric quietly wrote down the matter of Chris Hansen.

Eric and Jeffrey were chatting when Barry Diller walked over.

In addition to Robert and Jeffrey on the Firefly side, as the helm of the Fox television network, Barry Diller is also the one who pays the most attention to the matter, and Barry Diller found out as soon as Eric got off the building. However, he originally wanted to wait for Murdoch to come down and ask Murdoch directly about the outcome of the matter.

But for some reason, Eric has been down for a while, but Murdoch has not reappeared, so Barry Diller couldn't wait and had to come over.

"Hello, Mr. Hansen, Eric. Barry Diller greeted Eric with a smile.

After nodding to Barry Diller, Jeffrey knew that Barry Diller's target was not him, and said with a lot of interest: "Eric, let's talk, I'll go over there and say hello to an old friend." ”

Watching Jeffrey walk away, Barry Diller didn't get straight to the point, but asked softly with a look of understanding: "Eric, you let you buy the copyright, right?"

Knowing that he couldn't hide a smart guy like Barry Diller, Eric smiled and nodded.

"I didn't care about the article selling the copyright when I saw it, and then I thought of it after reading the script," Barry Diller put on a dissatisfied look after saying this: "Eric, this is completely unnecessary, our cooperation is very pleasant, isn't it? If you had personally proposed it, maybe Fox could sell you the copyright for 1 million, and the price of 3.5 million is too high even for me." ”

Eric laughed a little wordlessly, waiting for millions of copies of the tape to be sold......

Well, he couldn't imagine how Barry Diller would have looked at him, but the manager who decided to sell the rights must have had a miserable end.

Of course, Barry Diller couldn't see through Eric's current thoughts, he took Eric's expression as embarrassment, and instead patted Eric on the shoulder as if he was understanding: "Forget it, this matter is over, remember, next time you need help, you must open your mouth to me yourself, okay?"

"Of course, I will," Eric nodded sincerely, and raised his glass to Barry Diller with feigned gratitude. At the same time, Eric made a decision in his heart, he must remind Xiao Nizi to try to take down all the adaptations related to Fox in the copyright list he opened before the end of the year.

I guess after this year, I won't want to pick anything out of Fox anymore. (To be continued......)
