The two exchanged a few words childishly, Eric looked at Kate's small hand grasping the armrest of the sofa as if he was about to get up and run away as soon as he moved, he couldn't help but smile, didn't continue, sipped the red wine in his hand, and began to think about the next period of time.

With Warren Buffett and Tom Murphy done, plus other shareholders who have fallen to their side, there will be no obstacles to Firefly's acquisition of ABC.

However, all this is actually just the beginning, compared to the Firefly swallowing up Disney, this time the acquisition of ABC is much more cumbersome. At the beginning, Firefly and Disney were both film companies, although there were some overlapping departments and resources, but Firefly was also very weak compared to Disney, and the two did not need to make much adjustment after the merger.

This time the situation is different, although ABC and Firefly are two different companies, they both belong to the media industry, and both companies belong to the giant in the industry, once merged, it will definitely need to be adjusted for a few months or even a few years.

Moreover, these are all things after the completion of the merger, before that, in order to pay for the cash part of the acquisition, Firefly needs to issue about $8 billion in long-term bonds, in addition to its own cash accumulation of more than $2 billion, such a large amount of debt financing is definitely not something that can be achieved overnight.

While Firefly's strong profitability has proven that it has sufficient strength to repay its debts, it can still encounter various problems in the financing process.

Thinking of this, although he knew that it was impossible, Eric couldn't help but sigh in his heart, if only he could have another opportunity like the Gulf War.

A woman's mind is always elusive, and Kate, who was sitting on the other side of the sofa, hesitated when she saw that Eric no longer paid attention to herself. I took the initiative to sit down.

"Hey, what are you thinking?" Kate asked when she saw Eric's slightly frowning appearance, and at the same time her heart couldn't help jumping a few times, and she couldn't help but think that this man's distracted appearance was still quite attractive.

Eric came back to his senses, looked at Kate who came to his side, and smiled, "You won't be interested. ”

"How do you know I'm not interested if you don't tell me. Kate pursed her lips with some dissatisfaction, then looked up and asked, "Eric, are you really the richest man in America now?"

"If there is no richer person than me jumping out," Eric said, smiling, "then this person should be me." ”

Kate suddenly showed a look of eagerness to try and asked, "What does it feel like to be the richest man in the United States?"

Eric said in a quiet tone, "It's like a dream, but I hope I'll never wake up." ”

"Ha......" Kate was startled by Eric's sudden low mood, and snorted, and the two were quiet for a while. Kate suddenly whispered in a gossipy voice, "Why did you do that to Charlie?"

Eric winked at Kate, "Guess?"

Kate suddenly felt that she didn't know when she was next to Eric, and the two looked at each other closely, making her unconsciously shrink her neck, and then pretended to be disdainful and said, "Anyway, you definitely don't have any good intentions." ”

Eric chased Kate's retreating small body until the distance between the two was less than ten centimeters, and then asked in a somewhat playful tone: "Then tell me, what do I think of you?"

Kate felt a buzz in her head, as if for a moment she seemed to have lost any ability to think, and propped one hand on the leather sofa cushion behind her. Leaning back, I watched the handsome face, which was not a few years older than me, pasted over me. It wasn't until she felt that her cheeks were pecked quickly that she woke up instantly, and moved to the other side in a bit of a panic, looking at the guests in the hall in a daze, obviously many people noticed the picture just now, but. When her eyes swept over, the people turned their heads as if nothing had happened.

Eric looked at Kate with a frightened look and smiled: "See, one of the benefits of being the richest man in the United States is that others have obviously noticed what you are doing." But they will consciously pretend not to see it. ”

After some small panic, anger and grievances, Kate suddenly felt that she couldn't just be kissed by force, and she couldn't even feel it...... Phew, bah, don't feel anything.

Looking at Eric's 'hateful' smiling face, driven by unwilling emotions, Kate suddenly made all the guests who were secretly watching here pounce on Eric in surprise, and held Eric's head with two small hands and kissed it fiercely.

After a clumsy 'nibble' on Eric's lips, Kate straightened up, raised her chin proudly with a look in her eyes, and made an expression that was nothing more than that.

However, when Kate tried to leave Eric, she felt a pair of large hands tightly grasp her waist.

Eric held Kate's slender waist and said with a smile: "I want to leave irresponsibly after kissing me, how can there be such a cheap thing." ”

Kate struggled lightly a few times, felt the slight discussion behind her, and suddenly realized her gaffe, however, things have developed to such an extent that it is impossible to redeem it, although she regrets it very much, but Kate still showed a stubborn expression and bargained: "You ...... What do you want?"

By this point, she had completely forgotten that it was Eric who had made the first move...... Oh, it's the mouth.

"There are a lot of people here, why don't we find a place to talk in detail?"

"Okay," Kate said as if she wasn't afraid of you, "then you let me go first." ”

"Don't bother," Eric said, getting up from the couch, changing his posture slightly, and holding Kate in his arms, ignoring the other people's gazes, strode out.

Kate, who buried her face in front of Eric, wailed in her heart: It's over, how can I see people now.

……

Standing up from the wide jacuzzi, Kate stood in front of the full-length mirror and wiped her body with a bath towel, remembering everything that had happened in the last few hours, and suddenly felt a sense of unreality. Although Eric was a little overbearing, she found that she didn't have any disgust in her heart, but took it for granted. Because Penelope occasionally revealed that although Eric was gentle on the surface, he was actually a very domineering person in his bones.

And, although she never said anything on the surface, and was not as easily as Charlize could be seen in her expression, it was impossible to say that she did not envy Penelope.

After a long while, she came out of Yumuro and saw Eric, who had already taken a shower and changed into his pajamas, leaning back on the big bed and casually flipping through a magazine.

No matter what kind of personality a woman has, she often shows a birdish demeanor in front of a man who has just had a relationship.

Kate quietly stepped on the wooden floor of the bedroom with her bare feet, quietly walked to the side of the bed and lay beside Eric, and suddenly said with a smile: "Now, Charlie feels even more uncomfortable." ”

Eric's eyes were still on the magazine, and he said casually, "I can't imagine that you are still thinking about your good sister in this situation." ”

Kate also felt that her thinking was a little out of her mind, smiled, raised her face and asked, "You haven't told me yet, why did you deliberately snub Charlie?"

Eric pretended to think for a moment, and then said, "I don't know, I want to do this somehow, you know, a big man like me is always a little moody." ”

Kate smacked Eric and said, "You're so hateful. ”

Eric didn't dodge either, and said with a smile: "Do you know, when women say this kind of thing, I usually listen to it in reverse. ”

Kate also laughed a few times inexplicably, but soon fell silent again, and suddenly said, "Hey, will you buy a house and raise me like you did to Penny?"

Eric put down the magazine in his hand and asked, "Do you want it?"

Kate didn't hide her true thoughts: "If only I could have a house, Penny's villa by the sea is really beautiful." ”

Eric reached out and pinched the girl's little chin and smiled, "Oh, then you are greedy enough, you don't want to give, but you only think about receiving." ”

Kate also shrunk her neck a little embarrassed, but didn't bring up the topic again, and asked, "Hey, there are so many women around you, do you really like them?"

"Don't you think this topic is very out of place?"

"Curious, tell me?"

"It doesn't matter if I like it or not, I just have to possess it. Eric said, staring closely at Kate's eyes, and said, "So, from today on, be my woman obediently, don't think about running away." ”

Kate shrunk her neck a little dissatisfied, her tone trembled slightly, like a small beast trapped in a trap, weakly resisted: "You can't do this. ”

Eric reached out and turned off the lamp, pulled up the quilt and said to Kate beside him, "Okay, go to sleep." ”

The sudden darkness in the room reassured Kate inexplicably, and she felt that Eric might just be joking, and she felt even more relaxed. After a while, Kate ripped off her bathrobe and groped her way up to Eric's side.

I don't know how long it took, but Kate's voice came to mind in the bedroom again: "Hey, are you asleep?"

"Come on, if you have any questions, I'll ask you tomorrow, I suddenly found that you have a lot of questions. ”

Kate laughed heartily and said nonchalantly, "One last question." ”

Say. ”

"Well," Kate seemed a little embarrassed, even though it was covered by the darkness, "how did you feel when you were with Sister Penny?"

“……”

After a brief silence, there was a slight rustling in the bedroom, and then Kate exclaimed quietly, "Ah, how are you...... Again!"

"You brought it on yourself!" (To be continued.) )
