Sensing the movement around her, Linda, who was leaning on the man's arms, opened her eyes just in time to see Cindy leave the bedroom lightly. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The bright light that came through the cracks in the curtains signaled that it was not too early, and due to the success of Yahoo's IPO, everyone had been partying late into the night last night, and even Eric was rarely drunk, and the sleeping man still had a faint smell of alcohol on his body.

Thinking of yesterday's incident, Linda suddenly lost her sleepiness, poked her head and pecked on the man's cheek, and then gently lifted the quilt and got up, only put on a big T-shirt and began to wash. Although it was freezing outside in New York at the end of November, it was warm as spring in the apartment.

This is Cindy's apartment on 75th Street, next to Madison Avenue, and while it is not a retest structure, it occupies an entire floor of the top floor of the 11-story apartment building.

The first time she saw this apartment, which was elegant and exquisite in every detail of the decoration, Linda began to secretly dislike her house in Greenwich Village, so she often rubbed over to live with Cindy, and privately asked the real estate company to secretly look for similar apartments for sale on the Upper East Side, but so far to no avail.

Walking through the hallway to the living room, Linda threw herself comfortably on the soft two-seater sofa, stretched her body like a cat, and then lazily picked up the remote control from the coffee table next to her and turned on the TV.

It happened to be the morning news time, and most of the TV anchors were talking about the excitement or amazement or snarky recounting of Yahoo's launch yesterday.

“…… As of the close of trading at 4 p.m. yesterday, Yahoo's share price was frozen at $72.56, up 119.88% from the issue price, and the market value finally reached $91 billion, creating the largest IPO miracle since the outbreak of the new technology wave. It is reported that Yahoo issued an additional 22.5 million green shoe options in addition to the 150 million basic issued shares. Based on the total number of shares issued, Yahoo's IPO will raise $5,692.5 million......"

“…… Everybody talks about tech bubbles, but everybody can't resist the lure of high returns on investing in tech stocks, yes, myself included. Seriously, I got off work yesterday afternoon and I immediately dialed my stockbroker and he told me that the market was closed for the weekend, okay, that's a shame......"

“…… According to Yahoo's equity distribution data submitted to the SEC, after the IPO, including the greenshoe options to be cashed out, Yahoo's total share capital is 1.255 billion shares, of which Firefly Investment holds 986 million shares, with a shareholding ratio of 78.56%; The number of shares held by the management is 96.5 million shares, with a shareholding ratio of 7.69%; The number of shares outstanding is 1072.5 million shares......"

“…… Two billion-dollar super-rich, six billionaires, twenty-six multi-millionaires, two hundred and thirteen millionaires, this is the miracle created by Yahoo's IPO. As of yesterday's close, Yahoo's management held 96.5 million shares worth a terrifying $7 billion, and we can't help but feel the generosity of Eric Williams, the boss. However, relatively speaking, the net worth of our world's richest man is even more breathtaking, compared with the $15 billion valuation given by Forbes magazine to Yahoo at the beginning of the year, Yahoo's IPO transaction yesterday directly caused Eric Williams's net worth to skyrocket by $57 billion......"

“…… In fact, since the second half of the year, many Wall Street media have frequently made valuations of more than $50 billion for Yahoo. And, according to some insider sources, Yahoo's early IPO plan saw a much higher percentage of new shares than the actual 13.75%. Therefore, we have to admit that Yahoo has chosen a very sensible IPO strategy, according to the issue price of $33, Yahoo's valuation of itself in the IPO process is only $35.7 billion, far lower than the average valuation of Wall Street, which undoubtedly greatly stimulated countless investors around the world to buy, so it caused the miracle of Yahoo's stock price rising by more than 100% on the first day of listing......"

“…… It is conceivable that if Yahoo had implemented its IPO according to the data given by Wall Street, its stock trend curve yesterday would definitely not be as good as it is now, and it may even break on the first day due to overvaluation. And, judging from the details of Yahoo's 15% greenshoe option, I don't think it's like Yahoo shareholders and management are trying to raise more IPO financing, otherwise they just need to raise the issue price to $37, so Yahoo's valuation is still well below the Wall Street average. The reason why Yahoo does this is to minimize the risk of breaking the first day, and the underwriters can legally enter the market as soon as the stock price falls. If my inference is true, then it can be proved that the controller behind the Firefly system, that is, Eric Williams, undoubtedly still maintains a very clear mind at the moment when the new wave of technology has boiled, and this kind of sobriety is undoubtedly very valuable for a twenty-eight-year-old young man. Therefore, although Yahoo's stock price has a very serious inflated component, I still recommend investors to buy appropriately, because a corporate controller who can still stay sober in the wind can definitely lead the company to continue to create brilliant ......"

“…… According to the latest statistics, Eric Williams' current net worth has reached $265 billion. Let's take a look at the Forbes list of the world's richest people at the beginning of the year, what did you find? That's right! $265 billion, more than the combined wealth of all the other nine billionaires in the top 10 list, and from the list data, the total wealth of these nine billionaires from second to tenth is only $259.4 billion. Although this year is coming to an end, and the net worth of other billionaires will increase with the recovery of the global economy next year, with the crazy posture that the Nasdaq is currently showing, and the high shareholding ratio of Firefly Investment in many star technology stocks in the Nasdaq market, although there is only one month left, we have every reason to infer that in this month's time, Eric Williams' net worth is likely to reach a new high and break through the unprecedented $300 billion ......"

“…… At 4:20 p.m., our reporters outside the Nasdaq exchange were still unable to interview Eric Williams himself, who was said to have left the Nasdaq headquarters early with his two girlfriends at 2 p.m. However, we were fortunate enough to have a brief interview with Chris Hansen, President of Firefly Investments. According to Chris Hansen, Yahoo's next step after completing this IPO will focus on expanding its overseas business......"

In the past, when I heard these news on the TV, such as stock prices, options, IPOs, etc., Linda would definitely change the channel without thinking about it. But today, switching channels continuously, listening to the hosts of different TV stations talking about various information about Yahoo's listing yesterday, although many details are not too understood, Linda still listens to it with relish, and even has a little pride.

However, when she heard the announcement of the last CNBC host, Linda was suddenly stunned.

She seemed to have heard something strange.

Two girlfriends?

Is it myself and Cindy?

When did he and Cindy become his 'two girlfriends', and besides, what is the situation of your host's accustomed tone!

Is this a common thing now?

After a while, Linda vaguely felt that she seemed to understand something, but when she thought about it carefully, she couldn't grasp anything.

Naturally, she got up, leaned on the back of the couch and shouted to the kitchen, "Cindy, Cindy." ”

After a few moments, Cindy poked her head out of the kitchen impatiently, "What's the matter?" ”

Seeing Cindy's figure appear, Linda suddenly swallowed back the words in her mouth for some reason, smelling the scent of the freshly baked cake in the air, Linda changed her words pitifully: "Cindy baby, I'm hungry." ”

Cindy rolled her eyes and asked, "Is Eric up?" ”

"I don't know."

"Go tell him to get up and eat."

"Well, you go, I'm not going, I'm afraid."

"Afraid of what?"

"The man was very angry when he first got up, and he came back drunk last night and didn't do anything, and I'm afraid that I'll be killed in the past."

"I'm going to kill you right now, go!"

Although it was the weekend, Yahoo management still had a lot of work to do today, just after the IPO was completed yesterday.

Eric has never been a manager who has to take care of everything, and with the scale of the Firefly system, he can't do it all. So, while everyone was working overtime, Eric chose to take a break and planned to stay in New York until after Thanksgiving, which was a small vacation.

Giselle and Alexander, who decided to go back to Brazil to spend Christmas with their families this year, have left New York, leaving Miranda alone, and naturally Eric has driven back to Australia.

As a result, the time spent with the women became very well divided, and they could stay in Manhattan from the weekend to next Tuesday to accompany Cindy and Linda, and occasionally pay attention to the follow-up of Yahoo's launch. After Wednesday until Thanksgiving weekend, I returned to East Hampton to spend time with the women and children.

The two reality shows "America's Top Model" and "Flyover" are still continuing in an orderly manner, but before the Victoria's Secret show in London, Cindy and Linda have completed all the episodes before the winter break, and they are also resting at this time.

After breakfast, Linda pulled Eric and Cindy to discuss how to spend the next four days with great interest, and made a detailed schedule in a hurry.

Then in the afternoon, we went shopping together, not with as much fanfare as ordinary people, but booked the store in advance, and Cindy and Linda went directly to pick it up. The two women were already billionaires at this time, but they were still happy to swipe Eric's credit card in front of the waiter in the store, Linda did it particularly 'excessively', swiping more than 500,000 US dollars a day, and finally even used Eric's credit card to book himself the latest BMW sports car, as if he had been stimulated by something and wanted to take revenge on society.

However, although I decided to take a break, I still had to do the work.

It's not an important thing, but an interview with the New York Times.

A few days ago, in order to prevent the print media from making some unfavorable remarks about Yahoo during Yahoo's IPO, Eric and everyone did a lot of work. Although he controls the largest media power in North America, Eric cannot make the world submit to orders as soon as he comes forward, and at least he owes some small favors, and the New York Times interview is promised in this process.

On the pretext that he was too busy during the day, the interview was scheduled for the evening, and in the end, it was simply booked in Cindy's apartment.

Eric has given very few public interviews to the media over the years, and even within the Firefly system, it is unlikely that he will easily get the opportunity to interview Eric, so the New York Times cherishes this opportunity very much and does not raise any objections about the interview time at all.

"Ms. Miller, I must reiterate that this interview is limited to Yahoo-related topics and must not touch on anything else, particularly Mr. Williams' private life. In addition, the content of the press release must be reviewed by us before it can be published, and you have an hour to do so. ”

At eight o'clock in the evening, in the elevator of the apartment building on 75th Street, Mayer took a blonde white woman about thirty-five years old, and repeated the request for the interview in a serious tone.

Judith Miller nodded, looked at the rising floor lights, and said, "Miss Mayer, may I have a personal interview with you?" ”

Mayer held a stack of papers, shook his head, and said, "I'm sorry, you have to discuss this matter with my boss." ”

Judith Miller was a little disappointed, but still said, "Perhaps, we can have dinner together in private and talk casually." ”

Mayer continued to shake his head, "I'm sorry, but I have a lot of work to do. ”

The two came to the penthouse together, Cindy opened the door and welcomed the two warmly, and in the living room, Eric, who was being pulled by Linda to read a fashion magazine, also stood up, smiled and shook hands with the female reporter in front of him who was about thirty-five years old and dressed in a decent professional suit, and said, "Hello, Ms. Miller." ”

"Mr. Williams, it's a pleasure to meet you," Judith Miller looked at the scene in the living room with a strange feeling, but although she was one of the leading female reporters for The New York Times, she was not a feminist, so she did not have any resentment to the fact that Eric lived with the two supermodels in the first issue, and even, like many others, she subconsciously took it for granted.

After all, this is Eric Williams.

After a few brief pleasantries, Eric said, "Lady Miller, let's go to the study, Cindy, and you take care of Mary." ”

After saying this, Eric took Judith Miller to a study in the apartment, and Eric was at first a little puzzled as to why there was a very formal study in Cindy's apartment, but when he found a pencil holder full of pencils on the large desk, he didn't have any further questions about it. At least, Eric doesn't think there's a second person Cindy knows who likes to use pencils at work.
