Chapter 1197: How Many?

While Eric was on vacation with his children, the release of Gravity also entered its third week.

Compared with the second week, the box office in the third week of gravity finally showed a relatively large decline, but the overall box office was only 33%.

As of December 9, the film has collected another $92.87 million, and the cumulative box office in North America quickly reached $377.56 million.

Although Firefly Group did not release detailed breakdown data, the vast media of Shentong quickly discovered that of the $92.87 million box office in the third week of gravity, the box office from IMAX theaters was still as high as $23.96 million, which means that 100 IMAX theaters in North America have been nearly full for three consecutive weeks.

The box office produced by just 100 IMAX theaters exceeds that of most movies with more than 2,000 screens, and this terrifying ability to attract money has also made all theaters in North America enthusiastic and have begun to plan to get involved in the field of giant screen movies.

The largest cinema chain in North America, REG (Royal Entertainment Group, RegalenterttGroup), also directly sent an invitation to Firefly Group to buy IMAX Cinemas in Firefly's hands at a high price, but naturally it was rejected without hesitation.

The lack of its own cinema resources has always been the shortcoming of Firefly Group, and now that it finally has a high-end cinema line, the company naturally cannot let go easily.

However, in order to avoid the emergence of other giant screen formats to compete with IMAX in the market, Firefly Group did not refuse the request of major theater chains to purchase IMAX projection systems.

At present, the number of IMAX screens in the world is still far from market saturation, and Firefly Group is not afraid that other theaters will compete with the company itself after having IMAX screens.

In addition, with the increase in the number of IMAX screens, in addition to the revenue of the projection system, IMAX can also obtain continuous revenue in the later stage of film source conversion, camera rental and even system consumables maintenance.

After playing outside with the three little ones for more than a week, on the afternoon of December 11, after receiving a call from Joanna from Martha's Vineyard, Eric hurriedly set off from Nassau, the capital of the Bahamas, all the way to New York.

In the evening, Eric arrives at the estate on Martha's Vineyard, where Cindy has given birth to a baby boy who is somewhat weakly huddled in bed by the women.

Seeing Eric appear, Cindy, who was still a little tired, immediately raised her arm slightly, and showed the little dot wrapped in her arm to Eric. Eric walked over to the edge of the bed and sat down, took one of Cindy's hands and shook it, and then looked at a certain little guy carefully before asking softly, "Are you okay?"

Cindy nodded, "Hmm." ”

Kevin and Hawaii, who came in with Eric, both walked up to their mothers and looked at the little one curiously, but Emma didn't recognize her life at all, leaned on the side of the bed and leaned out her little body and said tenderly: "Aunt Cindy, Aunt Cindy, can I see the little baby?"

Cindy laughed and whispered, "Of course." ”

Eric reached out to help Emma climb into bed, and the little girl leaned over to Cindy again, looking curiously at the little boy in the woman's arms, and after a while, she couldn't help but stretch out her hand, but she didn't touch it sensibly, just flashed her big eyes, and said, "Aunt Cindy, he's so cute." ”

"Oh, thanks. ”

"Does he have a name?" Emma immediately added, "I've been thinking of a lot of names for my baby these days." However, Dad said that the name of the baby is best for the mother. ”

Cindy glanced at Eric and smiled, "Not yet." ”

After talking like this for a while, Joanna knew that Eric and Cindy wanted some alone time, so she came over and shouted for Emma to get out of bed, and leaned into the man's ear and whispered, "Eric, it's okay here, Vicky and I will go to Long Island first." ”

Eric nodded, he just entered the door and found that in addition to the nanny and nurse in the room, only Joanna and Virginia were left, the girl was long gone, and Linda was not there, Eric knew on the phone a few days ago that she had recently received an endorsement and needed to go to Paris.

Although it doesn't seem to be said on the surface, women still have some nostalgia for Cindy giving birth to a child.

He got up and sent the woman and the children to the door, and instructed the twins, who had come with him, to take them to East Hampton in a helicopter before Eric reached Cindy's side. Cindy's female assistant, Catherine Neumann, had also left the room with the nurses and nannies.

There was no one else in the room, Cindy handed the little guy over, Eric hurriedly caught it carefully, looked at the little one in his arms who was still with his eyes closed, and asked the woman, "Have you thought of a name?"

Cindy opened her mouth, a little speechless, but asked rhetorically, "What about you?"

Eric laughed, "You know I don't have a talent for names, and Xia Xia doesn't know how to blame me when she grows up." ”

"Xia Xia's name is very nice," Cindy said, pausing for a moment's lack of confidence before whispering, "Do you think it's okay to be like you?" Eric, little Eric Williams. ”

"I always feel that the little guy with the same name as my father will grow up to be very unproductive," Eric smiled, still looking at the woman honestly, and said, "Besides, you don't want them to be villains to stab me every night in the future, do you?"

Cindy didn't expect much in her heart, and said softly when she heard this: "Then forget it, I don't want them to be villains to stab me." ”

So the atmosphere was silent for a moment.

Eric actually understands that because there is no marriage, the women are actually worried about the identity of the little ones.

Kevin and Hawaii were only exposed in the first half of the year because of Paramount's small actions, although they despised Paramount's actions on the surface, Eric knew that Virginia and Joanna were actually a little happy about this matter.

Thinking so, Eric quickly made a decision, looked at Cindy with obvious disappointment in her expression and said, "In this way, let's contact a magazine recently, and let's take a cover together." ”

Cindy's eyes suddenly lit up with some disappointment, she actually didn't want her children to be known to the public after many years like Kevin and Hawaii. If it can be publicly recognized by Eric, then the name and the like, it really doesn't matter.

However, after hesitating, Cindy still said, "In this way, will it be troublesome?"

"The first batch of bodyguards trained by Robert will be available next year, and I'll give you a few more when the time comes, of course, it must be a woman," Eric said, seeing Cindy roll her eyes slightly, before continuing with a smile: "As long as you and the little guy are safe, nothing else matters." Well, by the way, did you inform the family about this?"

"Mom and Dad will be here tomorrow, along with Chrissy and Dany," Cindy said, glancing at Eric again, "Mommy is looking forward to seeing her grandson, but if Daddy beats you, I won't care." ”

Eric smiled and said, "I promise not to fight back." ”

Cindy reached over and picked up the little one again, saying, "Then I'll call Peter, but I'd like to add my last name, Peter Crawford Williams." ”

"Alright," Eric nodded, remembering something, and added, "I thought you'd come up with a more personal name." ”

Cindy wondered, "Why do you say that?"

"Nothing," Eric said, shaking his head as if nothing had happened, "just a feeling." ”

Cindy didn't think much about it, turned her gaze back to the son in her arms, and said: "The guy will definitely be great when he grows up, so it's good to have an ordinary name." ”

Eric has always been puzzled by why Westerners, who value individuality, are so uncreative in coming up with names, and he only nods his head in agreement.

Cindy touched Little Peter's faint blonde hair, looked up again, and said, "Eric, actually, we don't need to contact the magazine, we can announce the news now, use my Facebook." ”

Unlike the G engine, which has been maintaining a low-key expansion, in the second half of September, Yahoo began to promote its social networking tool Facebook, which was revamped from Yahoo's blog, which can be regarded as occupying all the two major Internet brands in advance.

In the past few months, thanks to Yahoo's tireless promotion, the new Facebook has reached more than 80 million registered users worldwide, which is definitely a remarkable statistic in the current online environment.

As the Nasdaq continues to decline, Yahoo's stock price has remained stable at around $100 billion in the fourth quarter, even spurred by the rapid growth of Facebook's user base.

Cindy has been a star user of Yahoo since her blogging days, and was invited to participate in Yahoo's IPO bell ringing ceremony last year. Although the version has been revised at this time, Cindy is still one of the most popular supermodels on Facebook, with a fan base no less than many more popular pop singers.

Feeling Cindy's wistful gaze, Eric nodded, "If you don't think it's formal enough, of course it's fine." ”

After a few discussions, seeing that Cindy was determined, Eric got up and went to find a laptop and a digital camera, and called Catherine Neumann for help, and quickly took a few sets of photos.

However, before the message was sent, Eric still called several Yahoo officials and carefully admonished them. Although there will be no discussion in the accident world, the little one has just been born, and Eric will not allow a disappointing situation such as online violence.

Hanging up the phone, Cindy, with the assistance of Catherine Neumann next to her, also picked out a photo, showed it to the man, and said, "Eric, how about this one?"

The photos just taken are all photos of the three of them appearing together, Eric and Cindy surrounded the little guy in the middle, the difference is actually not big, Eric looked at it, thought it was good, and nodded.

So Cindy asked Catherine Neumann to hand the notebook to Eric and said, "My account has been logged in, you can send it." ”

Eric took the notebook, found the browser and opened Cindy's Facebook page, expertly loaded the photo, typed another line on it, then turned the screen to the woman, and said, "Is that okay?"

Cindy glanced at it and smiled, "If you write that, Emma might be sad." It should be the fourth, not the third. ”

Eric thought about it and felt that it was also, although he was not his own, he had always treated Emma as a daughter. So I changed it, and after confirming that it was correct, I pressed send casually.

While the West Coast is still some time away from work, it's already twilight on the East Coast.

Many people who are busy with the end of the day or preparing dinner hear some lightning blast in just an hour that follows.

"The Williams family's fourth child was born. ”

Speaking of which, the news of Cindy's pregnancy is not a secret in the circle, and it is even a semi-public thing.

It's just that the power of Eric himself is taken in, and the media basically doesn't take the initiative to report it, and occasionally there are some bold ones, and they only mention it in a roundabout way.

Now, Eric and Cindy suddenly took the initiative to announce the news and unabashedly attached photos, so the discussion quickly boiled.

After all, if it's just the children of some celebrities, there may be gimmicks, but after all, it's just the children of celebrities.

But Eric Williams' child means much, too much.

You must know that although the collapse of the NASDAQ caused Eric's wealth to shrink sharply from the peak of more than $600 billion at the peak, due to the continuous strong expansion of the entire Firefly system in the second half of the year, as well as the outstanding business performance of the companies in the Firefly system bucking the trend, Eric's personal wealth at this time still reached a figure that everyone could not hope for.

How much, before the news of Little Peter's birth was announced, the popularity of related topics was actually not high.

But after the news of the birth of the little one was announced, the relevant statistics soon appeared on some websites.

Although briefly surpassed by several other companies in the Firefly system during the middle of the year, the Firefly Group has remained the core asset of Eric over the years. Without the continuous cash support provided by the Firefly Group, the entire Firefly system would not have developed to its current size.

Through the stock purchase operation in the second half of the year, Eric finally took 6% of the shares of the Firefly Group, making his own shareholding in the Firefly Group rise to 3% again.

And, with the recent success of the 3D and IMAX movie promotion led by Firefly Group, coupled with expansion moves such as the acquisition of Hasbro, the industry's valuation of Firefly Group has also reached a new high, reaching $160 billion at this time.

This alone has brought Eric more than $120 billion in personal wealth.

Although the collapse of the Nasdaq index has caused a large number of technology stocks owned by Eric to shrink significantly, Yahoo, in which Eric holds more than 78% of the shares, has remained stable at about $100 billion in the past six months, which has once again brought Eric nearly $80 billion in wealth.

Firefly Investments has a 51% absolute controlling stake in Nokia, which currently has a market capitalization of $117.1 billion. Cisco, which holds 26% of the shares, has fallen all the way from the peak of $600 billion, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the market value at this time still reaches $159.3 billion.

Therefore, the assets of just four companies, Firefly Group, Yahoo, Nokia, and Cisco, make Eric's personal wealth figure reach $300 billion.

In addition, with the continued hot sales of Fireflyer players, the general valuation of Firefly Electronics has also exceeded $50 billion. Coupled with a series of assets such as Qualcomm, Ltd, Sprint, Amazon, Apple, etc., which are heavily held by Firefly Investment, Eric's personal wealth has once again increased by about $70 billion.

According to comprehensive statistics, Eric's net worth at this time is still more than $370 billion.

Although it has shrunk by nearly half from the peak of more than $600 billion in the middle of the year, compared with the $315.5 billion net worth figure of Eric released by the Forbes rich list at the beginning of this year, Eric's personal wealth has still increased by more than $50 billion this year, which is equivalent to the entire net worth of several of the top ten richest people on the Forbes list.

Therefore, a newborn little one, in addition to a series of halos of his parents, instantly became the heir to hundreds of billions of dollars of wealth, which can no longer even be described in simple words such as being born with a golden spoon.
