Both John and his wife were ordinary salarymen, busy with work all day long, and rarely paid attention to entertainment news. However, they also know what Eric Williams' new film means.

Glancing at his daughter, who looked eager to try, John asked, "Mr. Richie, may we ask, what is the character?"

"The role of a tennis girl, there are not many shots," Peter Rich did not hide it, introduced it simply and clearly, looked at Miranda Kerr, and asked, "Miss Kerr, do you know how to play tennis?"

Miranda Kerr paused, then shook her head and said, "No, but Mr. Richie, I can learn, I learn things very quickly." ”

Peter Ritchie smiled and looked back at Miranda Kerr's parents.

John looked at his wife and asked, "Mr. Richie, you mean, it's just a small character with a few shots, right?"

"Yes," Peter Ritchie nodded, "though the character is small and has no lines." But showing her face in a movie with world-class influence like 007 is very beneficial to Miss Kerr's future development, of course, provided that Miss Kerr's intention to enter the modeling industry or showbiz in the future. ”

Eric gave him the task of passing on this opportunity to Miranda Kerr and her family, and it didn't matter if it was successful or not, and he didn't ask Peter Rich to do anything to add to it, so Peter Rich didn't hide the insignificance of this small role in the slightest.

Of course, as a professional elite with excellent IQ, he also observed at this time that in the small family in front of him, the couple were obviously not very assertive, but the daughter named Miranda Kerr looked shrewd, in order to behave appropriately in front of him, during his conversation with his parents, he obviously wanted to interject, but the girl endured it.

After listening to his words, the two Johns had a hesitant look on their faces. The summer holidays in Australia are between December and February, their daughter is about to start school, and both husband and wife need to be busy with work. They don't want to delay their daughter's studies, nor are they willing to delay their work and take their daughter to Hollywood to make a film for a trivial role.

After hesitating for a moment, John looked at his daughter next to him and asked, "Miranda, what do you think?"

Seeing that her father finally remembered to ask herself, Miranda Kerr couldn't wait to look at Peter Richie and said, "Mr. Richie, can I meet Mr. Williams himself in this movie?"

"Of course," Peter Rich nodded.

Miranda Kerr unconsciously twisted her waist, sat up straight, and asked shyly, "Mr. Williams saw me in DOLLY magazine, he ...... What do you think of me?"

Peter Ritchie raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "I don't know how to answer this question, you can only ask the boss himself." ”

"Then, after participating in this movie, will I be able to get other roles in the future?"

Peter Ritchie said: "If you play well enough, you're going to get a lot of chances. ”

Miranda Kerr blinked her pretty eyes and asked, "If, well, if I want to move to New York, or Los Angeles, can Mr. Williams help me?"

"Again, that's not for me to answer you," Peter Ritchie shook his head and said, "If you have that will, I can help you convey it to the boss." ”

Miranda Kerr saw that several of her questions and the answers she got were a little ambiguous, realized that the guy in front of her did not have any right to speak, thought about it, and said, "Since Mr. Williams saw me from DOLLY magazine, he should be in Australia recently, can I meet him?"

"The boss has returned to the United States," Peter Rich said truthfully.

Miranda Kerr finally let out a sigh of disappointment.

Although she had already made up her mind that she would never give up this opportunity, the girl was still very clever and did not agree immediately, but said that the family needed to discuss it.

Thales, the mother who had not spoken during the conversation just now, looked at her daughter who couldn't wait to snatch the contact information left by Peter Richie in her hand, and said: "Miranda, I think you are still too young now, it is better not to ......"

Miranda Kerr raised her head and interrupted her mother, saying, "No, Mom, I've already decided, I'm going to play this role." ”

John also seemed to be very helpless about this somewhat precocious and assertive daughter, and said, "However, this matter is different from going to the magazine, you still have to go to school." ”

"Isn't the purpose of going to school to find a job in the future, and why bother to go so far when I can have a good job now," Miranda Kerr immediately retorted sharply.

John was a little dumbfounded by his daughter's rebuttal, so he had to look at his wife again.

Thales's mind is more delicate, and said: "Actors are not so easy to be, you haven't even taken an acting class, it's okay to play some small roles, it's not easy to be a professional actor." ”

"Hey, Mom," Miranda Kerr said, shaking the card with her email address and long-distance phone call, "Do you know who Eric Williams is, he is the owner of the world's largest media group, as long as he can help me, I can get any role." ”

When John heard his daughter's words, he frowned, changed to a purely male perspective, and said, "Then why do you think Eric Williams is helping you?"

Miranda Kerr hugged a pillow on the sofa in her arms, rolled her eyes, laughed, and said, "What else can it be, like the boys in our school who always peek at me, hum, those hairy boys, I don't bother to pay attention to them." ”

Every father would not be in a good mood when he heard the idea of a man beating his daughter, John immediately raised his eyebrows and said, "Then I can't let you act in this movie, you are still just a child." ”

"I'm not a child," Miranda Kerr straightened up, "and I've already decided." Even if you object, I'm going. ”

Seeing his daughter talking back to him, John was even more upset, his tone was a little irritable, and he raised his voice and said, "Without the consent of the guardian, you can't go anywhere." ”

Miranda Kerr shrunk her neck, aware of the problem, and immediately looked at her mother, but Thales only leaned towards her husband.

"Then, I'll go to the countryside to find my grandmother, and she can also be my guardian. ”

"Your grandmother won't agree to it," John dropped the sentence, didn't bother to say anything more to the disobedient daughter, got up and walked out.

Looking at the back of her father leaving, the girl's heart swelled up with grievances, and she said loudly: "Then I'll go by myself, anyway, you can't tie me up at home." ”

John just snorted and slammed the door without looking back.

Thales, who was still in the living room, saw her daughter's tearful appearance, her mind suddenly softened, and she came over to hug her and comforted: "Okay, baby, your father is also good for you." ”

Miranda Kerr, who didn't intend to cry, realized that her mother should be the breakthrough point in this matter, and immediately cried, leaned on Thales's arms with a sob, and said, "But, Mom, I don't want to give up this opportunity." ”

Thales patted her daughter on the back distressedly and said, "Don't cry, baby, you're still young, and there will be plenty of opportunities in the future." ”

"No, definitely not, you, woo...... As you could have heard, Peter Ritchie's tone didn't matter, they didn't care if I would accept the opportunity, they could find a lot of people, but for me, the chance was probably only this one. If I missed it, how could someone as big as Eric Williams notice me? ”

Thales said: "You, I didn't say it myself just now, that, Eric Williams, must not be so simple in your mind. ”

"I'm just talking casually," the girl immediately changed her words, "Mom, think about it, Eric Williams's "Jurassic Park" has won a global box office of $1 billion, how can such a super director be so unprofessional, he must think that I am suitable for the role in the movie, so he sent out the invitation." ”

"But ......"

Thales wanted to say something, but was interrupted by her daughter's voice, "Mom, if you don't feel at ease, you can go with me." Since I'm not an adult, they'll definitely invite my parents to accompany me. ”

Thales's tone softened, and he said, "Well, I think it's better to discuss it with your dad again, and, if you really want to go, it's more appropriate to let your dad accompany you." ”

Miranda Kerr stopped crying at some point, and still leaned on her mother's arms and said coquettishly: "No, I want my mother to go with me, so I don't want to take my father." ”

Almost falling backwards by her daughter's little head against her body, Thales completely changed her position and said, "Okay, but your father is angry now, I will discuss it with him in the evening, and you should not talk back to your father again." ”

"Well, I remember. ”

Miranda Kerr nodded hurriedly, a smile on her lips, and two cute dimples appeared on her face.

Finally, I can be in Australia immediately.

God knows how boring this place is, even in the city, there are not as many people as snakes.

As long as she can become famous, she will definitely be able to leave here easily, although she is very self-aware that she feels more suitable for modeling, but as long as she has the opportunity, whether she is an actress or a model, the result is actually the same.

Thinking of the international metropolises of New York and Los Angeles, the girl's mood became even more excited.

After doing a full set of plays, and being around her mother for a while, Miranda Kerr got up and went into her little room, and began to think about how to get in touch with Eric Williams, and it was best to get something for herself in advance.

Peter Ritchie's contact number was an expensive number, and it was impossible for her home phone to make a transatlantic number.

However, email is different.

Although it has just become popular in recent years, and there is no such avant-garde thing as a computer at home, she saw in a classmate's house how to send an email, something very simple, and fast, and can convey many things at once.

She quickly decided, intending to prepare an e-mail to send to Peter Richie for him to pass on to Eric Williams.

Well, how to write it, what to say to attract the attention of that big man more.

This should be carefully considered.

……

Eric's Gulfstream private business jet left Australia, refueled once via Hawaii and flew non-stop to New York on the east coast of the United States.

In addition to the tedious work affairs in Hollywood, there are two other things that Eric needs to pay close attention to in January: Nokia shares will be listed on the US stock market on January 22, and AOL will be officially listed on the Nasdaq market on January 29.

In 1995, Nokia achieved sales of 7 million mobile phones and 600,000 mobile communication base stations, and the annual turnover reached 3.6 billion US dollars, and Nokia achieved a 130% increase compared to 1994.

Even though most of the profits were immediately invested in the company's expansion, Nokia still achieved a net profit balance of $60 million in 1995.

Therefore, Nokia is simply listing on the U.S. stock market this time to realize the circulation of the company's shares in the U.S. market and plan for further financing in the future, and there is no new share issuance plan for the time being.

Although Nokia's mobile phone sales in the past few years are still at the level of millions, Eric clearly remembers that in the next few years, with the rapid development of mobile communications and the popularization of communication tariffs, Nokia's mobile phone business will show explosive growth, in the original time and space, in 1998, Nokia not only successfully surpassed Motorola, but also took the lead in achieving the feat of producing a total of 100 million mobile phones.

Therefore, if Nokia needs to make the next step in its financing plan, the best time is also after 1998.

Until then, Firefly Investment can still firmly control the absolute controlling stake in Nokia, and even when it is time for the next step of financing, with Nokia's excellent performance, it will have enough confidence to issue new shares with low voting rights to prevent the loss of control of the company.

Although Nokia's listing was very low-key, and even Eric only made a few phone calls back in Australia to congratulate him, and did not attend in person, the market was still very enthusiastic about Nokia's listing in the United States.

Relying on the general ultra-high performance expectations of major investment institutions for Nokia in 1996, Nokia's stock price soared by 8.1% on the day of listing, and the market value easily reached $6.8 billion. It also more than eightfold the value of Eric's $420 million investment three years ago.

On the other hand, AOL is also a very important chess piece in Eric's industrial layout.

Although he did not attend the Nokia listing ceremony, since he returned from Australia ahead of schedule, Eric flew directly to New York to participate in the AOL IPO event. (To be continued.) )
