Although most of his mind is still on it, Eric has not let go of his company and the movie. On his third day back in Los Angeles, Eric arrives with Jeffrey and Robert at the new location they have chosen for Firefly Films.

"Eric, how do you see here?" The three men got out of a business van, and Robert . Shay pointed to a seven-story building near the highway.

Eric looked up, the office building was silver in appearance and full of metallic texture, there are not many high-rise buildings in Los Angeles except for the city center, so the seven-story office building in Burbank is more in line with Eric's psychological expectations. However, after a moment, Eric pointed to the highway behind him, which was full of traffic: "Robert, this place is close to the highway, will it be too noisy?" ”

&n-，a★nshu≮ba.bsp; "No," said Robert. Shay shook his head and said, "Jeffrey and I have visited each floor before, and the sound insulation inside is so good that if you close the windows, you can't hear the cars outside at all." And, you see, we can also take the land to the north of this building, a total of about 10,000 square feet, if we need to build a few more office buildings from some of the inside, so that we don't have to worry about noise. ”

Eric subconsciously converted Robert. The area mentioned by Shay, this land covers an area of about 1,000 square meters, and on the map handed over by the assistant, it is in a rectangular state, about 400 meters from north to south, and less than 300 meters from east to west.

"In that case, why didn't we build an office building a little further down the road in the first place?" Eric looked up at the map and asked.

"The real estate company that originally owned the land was planning to build a small business district here. It's a pity that after the stock market crash the year before last. That company's funding chain was broken. We only have time to build this building, so Iric, if we take over it now, I think it's a good investment for Firefly. ”

Eric was a little moved when he heard this, and after buying this place, Firefly could be regarded as having his first real estate. What's more, real estate was a very profitable investment until Eric's rebirth, and even though the North American housing market has experienced several turbulences such as the subprime mortgage crisis, it has generally shown an upward trend.

"How much will it cost if you take them all?" Eric finally asked.

"20 million," said Robert. Shay said, seemingly afraid that Eric would be too expensive, Robert. Shay added, "Eric, this price is absolutely acceptable. If you look around, you won't find such a large plot of land in Burbank. And the traffic is so developed, next to the highway. ”

Eric smiled, turned his head and asked Jeffrey on the other side, "Jeffrey, what is your opinion?" ”

"I thought the same as Robert, I also built yì to take all the land, this is definitely a perfect fit for Firefly's new headquarters, I and Robert have investigated it repeatedly, this is within a radius of five kilometers, including Disney headquarters, Warner Studios, Universal Studios, and several other studios branches, and there is a small park next to it," Jeffrey said, pointing to the hill next to the guide, "Eric, look there, over that hillside, it's the Hollywood sign." ”

Eric followed Jeffrey's gaze, and the gentle slope that Jeffrey was referring to was supposed to be an extension of Beverly Hills, but he didn't see the famous Hollywood sign.

"It's blocked by the hillside, but it's there," Jeffrey explained, "and I've heard that the hillside used to be owned by the famous Howard. Hughes, it's just that I don't know which real estate company will fall into the hands of the company now. ”

Eric looked at the hillside with a wistful look on his face again.

Seeing that Eric was slightly stunned, Jeffrey and Robert stood beside him left and right, and also looked over.

Howard. Hughes, Hollywood's slightly ambitious men may aspire to become the second Howard. Hughes.

"Alright, this is it," it took a moment for Eric to come back to his senses and make a decision, "Let's go in and have a look." ”

Robert. Shay beamed and followed Eric, who had been introduced by a friend of his to facilitate the deal. Shay couldn't get any kickbacks, but he could make the New York developer owe him a favor. Of course, the $20 million price tag doesn't have much moisture, Robert . Shay is also a shareholder of Fireflies, and it is impossible for him to make himself suffer. In fact, this land has such a good geographical location, and there is no shortage of buyers, and the price may even be a little higher, but there is no one like Firefly who can pay all the money at once, and the seller urgently needs this money to solve his financial crisis.

After a few people walked around and sat down on a bench by the lawn to rest, Jeffrey asked, "Eric, aren't you going to attend the celebration dinner in the evening?" ”

Robert. Shay also cast a concerned look.

Eric shook his head, then nodded again, and seeing the confused expressions of the two people, he quickly explained with a smile: "I'll go, if I delay any longer, Murdoch will definitely see something." ”

Jeffrey smiled: "Haha, you have avoided it for the past few days, it is estimated that Fox and everyone are scared enough by you, they must have heard the news that the three major TV stations are planning to snatch the next episode"

Eric looked up at the blue sky of Los Angeles and said with a relaxed face: "If they had calmed down a little, they wouldn't have such worries, but now, I guess even Rupert . Murdoch couldn't have kept his composure. ”

"Why is that?" Robert. Shay asked curiously, and Jeffrey looked incomprehensible.

Eric explained: "If the three major TV stations want to cut off Hu, Fox will definitely not be reconciled, then there will definitely be a lawsuit to fight next, and it will definitely not be broadcast during this period." This kind of lawsuit usually lasts for a year and a half, and the three major TV stations can use this time to calmly clean up Fox TV and suppress the momentum of its rise. But in the end, we will also be homeopathic because we can't play. Wait until the lawsuit is over. A qiē dust settled. Who knows if the three major TV stations will deliver on the promise they made to us at the beginning. ”

Robert. After listening to Shay, he said: "Then don't move the first season, and give the broadcast rights to other TV stations after that, I have asked people to estimate that with the scale of the three major TV stations, the advertising fee share we can get can be increased by at least 10%." ”

Eric turned his head to look at Robert. Shay said: "Robert, why don't we take a long-term view, even if we get a higher share, we are still in the position of chess pieces." So, since there is such a good opportunity, why not work in the direction of the player. ”

Robert. Shay was stunned, and soon showed a wry smile, and a thought couldn't help but pop up in his heart: Is he getting old, or is this boy's ambition too big?

On the coastal road, the purple Lamborghini ghost was obviously pressed to shuttle through the traffic, and Aniston, who was sitting in the passenger seat and wearing a white tunic dress, took out her makeup mirror from time to time to look at her makeup.

"Eric, can you help me see if there's anything wrong with the makeup on my face?" The little girl looked at it. Straighten out the oblique bangs on his forehead again before turning his head and asking Eric.

Eric leaned on the steering wheel and looked at the little girl. He quickly turned his head: "Yes, it's beautiful." But, Jenny, did you choose your own dress? ”

"yes, it's beautiful, isn't it?" If it weren't for the car, Aniston would have stood up and shown Eric one more time.

Eric endured it for a while before he said, "I'll call Capper tomorrow and ask him to help you find a better stylist, you're a big star now, you have to learn how to dress up." ”

"Uh-huh," Aniston was visibly impressed by the words of the big star coming out of Eric's mouth. But Xiao 丨 Niu is not stupid, she quickly understood, and asked a little unconfidently: "You mean...... Having trouble with my outfit? ”

Eric nodded lightly and said in as gentle a tone as possible: "Actually, there is no problem, it's just that this dress is more suitable for attending the awards ceremony and walking the red carpet, not for participating in the pie." ”

"Wow...... It seems, it seems to be, no, Eric, turn around, I'm going back to change it," the little girl looked down and pondered her dress carefully, and when she saw the obviously long floor-length skirt, she was about to reach over and pull Eric's arm.

"Hey, hey, don't make a fuss, I'll drive."

Aniston hurriedly withdrew her little hand, and still said: "Turn around, I'm going back to change my clothes, this is the first time I've participated in the pie with you, I don't want to be ridiculed." ”

Eric tapped his watch on his wrist: "It's too late, I'll definitely be late when I go back now." ”

"Hmm......" Aniston buried her little head in frustration, and then raised her head to stare at Eric hatefully: "You must have noticed the problem in the first place, didn't you, why didn't you remind me when you came?" ”

"I didn't react at the time, I just thought you were pretty."

"Hmph, so what now?"

Eric looked at the signpost outside the window before saying, "There's a way, it's quite close to Virginia's villa, if you want, we can go to her and see if there is a suitable dress, I have the key to her house." ”

"No, I'd rather be ridiculed." The little girl immediately turned her head.

Eric shrugged helplessly: "Then forget it, as long as you are careful with the pie and don't trip over the skirt." ”

The celebratory party did not choose any hotel, but at one of the Murdoch family's estates in Malibu.

The sports car came to the gate of the manor, and Eric handed the key to the waiter and walked towards the manor with Aniston in his arms.

Get the news of Eric's arrival, Rupert. Murdoch and Barry, who had arrived early. Diller greeted him at the same time.

Eric was also a little surprised to see that Elizabeth, who had only been seen for a few days, actually took old Murdoch and greeted her, although the girl had a very ladylike smile on her face, but Eric saw a faint reluctance on Elizabeth's face. (To be continued......)
