Chapter 210： Why not be a player?

Although most of his thoughts are still on "Friends," Eric has not let go of his company and movies. On the third day back in Los Angeles, Eric went with Jeffrey and Robert to their new address for the Firefly Movie Company.

"Eric, how are you looking at this?" The three men got off a business car, and Robert Shee pointed to a seven-story building near the highway.

Eric looked up and looked at it. The office building is silvery and full of metal. Los Angeles has not many high-rise buildings except downtown. So Burbank’s seven-story office building It is also in line with Eric's psychological expectations. But after a few moments, Eric pointed to the expressway behind him: "Robert, this place is near the highway, will it be too noisy?"

"No," Robert Shea shook his head. "I have visited every layer before Jeffrey. The sound insulation inside is very good. If you close the window, you can't hear the sound of the car outside. And, look. The land on the north side of the building can also be taken down together. There are about 10,000 square feet in total. If we need it in the future, we can build some office buildings by some of them, so we don’t have to worry about noise. ""

Eric subconsciously converted the area mentioned by Robert Shea. The land covers an area of ​​about 1,000 square meters. It is rectangular on the map handed over by the assistant. It is about 400 meters north and south. 300 meters.

"In this case, why didn't you build an office building in a place far from the road?" Eric looked at the map and asked him.

“The real estate company that originally owned this land is planning to build a small business district here. Unfortunately, after the stock market crash of the previous year, the company’s capital chain was broken and it was only possible to cover the building. So, Eric, if We are taking over now. I think it is a good investment for fireflies."

Eric heard this sentence and it was a little heart-warming. Buying here, fireflies can be regarded as the first real estate, and more importantly, real estate is a very profitable investment until Eric reborn, even if the North American real estate market has experienced several times such as the subprime mortgage crisis. Unrest, but the overall attitude is also climbing.

“If you take it all, how much does it cost?” Eric finally asked.

"20 million." Robert Xie said, it seems that Erik is too expensive, and Robert Shee said: "Eric, this price is absolutely acceptable, you look around, you can't find it in Burbank. The big land is out, and the traffic is still so developed, next to the highway."

Eric smiled and turned to ask Jeffrey on the other side: "Jeffrey, what is your opinion?"

"I think it is the same as Robert. I also recommend taking all of this land. It is definitely a good place for the new headquarters of fireflies. I have repeatedly investigated it with Robert. Within five kilometers of this, it includes the Disney headquarters, Warner Studios. , Universal Studios, and other branches of several film companies, and next to a small park," Jeffrey said and pointed to the hillside of the guide, said: "Eric, you see there. Over That hillside is the sign of d."

Eric looked at Jeffrey's gaze. Jeffrey's gentle **** should be considered an extension of Beverly Hills, but he did not see the famous Hollywood sign.

"It was blocked by the hillside. But it was there," Jeffrey explained. "I heard that everyone on the hillside was the famous Howard Hughes, but now I don't know which real estate company to fall into." ”

Eric once again looks forward to the hillside.

Seeing that Eric was a little bit worried, Jeffrey and Robert stood by his side and looked at him.

Howard Hughes, a somewhat ambitious man in Hollywood, may be looking forward to becoming the second Howard Hughes.

"Okay, let's go here." After a while, Eric came back and made a decision directly: "Let's go in and see."

Robert Shay was greeted with Eric next to him. This land was introduced by a friend of his own, which led to the deal. Although Robert Shea couldn’t get any kickbacks, he could make the New York real estate. The business owes a favor to oneself. Of course, there is no water in the price of 20 million US dollars. Robert Shea is also a shareholder of fireflies, and it is impossible for him to suffer. In fact, this land has such a good geographical location, and there is no shortage of buyers. Even the price may be higher, but there is no such thing as a firefly that can pay the whole amount in one lump sum, but the seller urgently needs the money to solve it. Your own financial crisis.

Several people strolled around and sat down on a bench next to the lawn. Jeffrey asked: "Eric, are you still planning to attend the "Members" dinner at night?"

Robert Shea also cast a look at the eyes.

Eric shook his head, then nodded again, saw the confused expression of two people, and quickly explained with a smile: "I will go, and then delay, Murdoch will definitely see something."

Jeffrey smiled and said: "Haha, you have avoided it in the past few days. It is estimated that Fox is scared by you. They must have heard that the three TV stations are going to **** the news of the next episode of Friends."

Eric looked up at the blue sky of Los Angeles and said with a relaxed face: "If they are a little calmer, they will not have such concerns. However, under the current situation, I estimate that even Rupert Murdoch It is impossible to remain calm."

"Why is this?" Robert Shea asked curiously, and Jeffrey also showed a look that didn't quite understand.

Eric explained: "If the three major TV stations want to cut off Hu, Fox will certainly not be reconciled. Then there must be a lawsuit to fight. During the period, "Friends" will definitely not be able to broadcast. This kind of lawsuit usually goes down. It’s only 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 not be able to play because of Friends, and the lawsuit is finished, all the dust. When it is settled, who knows whether the three major TV stations will honor the promises that have just begun to us."

After listening to Robert Shay, I suggested: "There is no first season. I will give the right to broadcast to other TV stations. I have estimated that the size of the three major TV stations. We can get at least the advertising fees. Can also increase by more than 10%."

Eric turned to look at Robert Shea. "Robert, why don't we put our eyes on the long-term point? Even if we get a higher score, we are still in the position of the chess piece, so since there is such a good opportunity, why? Don't work hard in the direction of the player."

Robert Shea stunned, and soon revealed a bitter smile, and could not help but come up with a thought: Is it old, or is the boy's ambition too big?

On the coastal road. The purple Lamborghini ghosts are obviously moving at the speed of the car. Sitting in the co-pilot, Aniston wearing a white tunic dress takes out the makeup mirror and looks at his makeup.

"Eric, can you help me see, is there any problem with the makeup on my face?" Xiao Yan Niu looked at it, and sorted out the oblique bangs in front of her forehead before she turned her head and asked Eric.

Eric looked at the steering wheel and looked at Xiaoyan, and quickly turned his head: "Yes, very beautiful. But, Jane, is your dress chosen by yourself?"

"Yeah. Very beautiful?" If it wasn't in the car, Aniston would definitely stand up and show Eric.

Eric forbeared for a while and said: "I will call Kapoor tomorrow. Let him help you find a good stylist. You are now a big star. You must learn to dress yourself."

"Well," Aniston heard Eric's words in the mouth of the big star, obviously very useful. But Xiao Yan Niu is not stupid, and she quickly understands it. Some people ask with no confidence: "You mean... I have a problem with my dress?"

Eric nodded lightly and said in a gentle tone: "In fact, there is no problem, just. This dress is more suitable for the red carpet at the awards ceremony, not suitable for parties."

"Wow... looks like it. It seems to be true, no. Eric, turn around, I want to go back and change it," Xiao Yan Niu looked down and carefully pondered her dress and saw the obvious long mopping skirt. Then I will reach out and I will slap Eric’s arm.

"Hey, hello, don't make trouble, I drive."

Aniston quickly retracted his hand and still said: "Come on, I have to go back and change clothes. This is the first time I have been with you for a party. I don't want to be laughed at."

Eric knocked on the wrist watch: "It's too late, come back now, definitely be late."

"Oh..." Aniston buried his head in a depressed, and then looked up at Eric with hate and hate: "You must have found the problem right from the beginning. Why don't you remind me when it comes?"

"I didn't react at the time, I think you are beautiful."

"Hey, what about now?"

Eric looked at the signpost outside the window and said: "There is a way. It is close to the Villa in Virginia. If you like, we can go to her to see if there is a suitable dress. I have her. The key to the house."

"No, I would rather be laughed at." Xiao Yan Niu immediately turned her head.

Eric shrugged helplessly: "That's it, as long as you are careful at the party, don't be stumped by the skirt."

The celebration party of Friends did not choose any hotel, but was in a manor house in Malibu in the Murdoch family.

The sports car came to the manor door, and Eric handed the keys to the waiter and took Aniston to the manor.

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

Eric also surprised to see that Elizabeth, who had not seen it for a few days, even greeted the old Murdoch. The girl had a very ladylike smile on her face, but Eric looked from Elizabeth’s face. A touch of reluctance. (To be continued)
