Chapter 493： Hollywood Wolf

Joanna didn't react as big as Virginia. She said with a smile: "If you are not afraid that the children will complain to you in the future, you will call Hawaii."

“It’s better than Kevin or Anji. When you grow up, you’ll find a lot of people with the same name around you?” Eric began to vomit.

Vignia saw Joanna agree so easily, and suddenly there was a toy that she didn't like very much, just lost, and she was taken away by others as a baby, pulling the sleeve of La Eric: "Ai Rick, there is still one more."

Eric thought for a moment and shook his head: "No, the two names you just got are just for the little guy in your stomach. Joan is called Hawaii."

"amount……"

Vignia opened his mouth dissatisfied, but couldn't speak, Joanna also smiled softly.

......

The news that Joanna suddenly fainted during the filming process caused a lot of media attention. Then Joanna’s spokesperson for the agency icm suddenly announced that Joanna had withdrawn from the crew due to illness, but did not say what kind of illness Joanna had. Therefore, it has caused various kinds of speculation.

In this case, the news that Virginia was withdrawing from another film of Carol Film Company was almost dug by the paparazzi. The relationship between the two women’s girlfriends was not secret. The sensitive media immediately realized that There is some kind of insider that is unknown, so a lot of paparazzi began to smell the wind.

Universal Pictures’s news of Joanna’s resignation is naturally a slap in the face. After Michael Eisner learned that Eric had rushed back to New York, he called and Eric naturally had to voluntarily owe this favor.

As for Carolock. This film company, which is backed by German investors, has always been known for its large-scale investment film because of Germany’s special movie tax rebate policy. It also likes to cooperate with internationally renowned stars such as Schwarzenegger and Stallone, and the first investment in the original time and space. The billion-dollar movie "Terminator 2" is the work of the Caroline Film Company. However, the Germans just want to make money from movies, and they don't want to offend Hollywood's local snakes. After promising some conditions of cooperation, Eric did not even spend a penny of liquidated damages. I took Virginia's contract back.

After dealing with these things, Eric had planned to bring two women back to Los Angeles. At the end of September, the temperature in New York had dropped to 20 degrees, and Southampton in the suburbs of New York was even cooler. It's not too suitable for pregnant women's nursed back to health, but Virginia doesn't know what to think about, but she doesn't want to go back to Los Angeles. Eric has no choice but to stay for a while, but in order to prevent the paparazzi from finding the residence of Virginia, Ai Rick had to temporarily rent a mansion in the nearby East Hampton, carrying two women to move over.

Eric returned to New York for three days because of good security measures. The news has not been revealed, but Eric can't hide this from the more close people. Especially Chris Hansen, who has lived in New York.

"Eric, Chris is not saying that it is coming at twelve o'clock. It has been five minutes now. Would you like to call and ask?" Virginia said from the kitchen and shouted at Eric. .

Eric looked at his watch and said, "Don't worry. Maybe something happened, and there. Don't you mess up in the kitchen?"

"I'm afraid that the food they make is not in line with your taste," Virginia said with Eric, and turned and walked into the kitchen to direct the chef.

Although Eric said this, he felt a bit strange. Chris has always been a very punctual person and will not be late for no reason. After thinking about it, Eric took the remote control and turned off the TV, and got up and walked out of the villa. Joanna, who was sitting in the hallway reading a book, saw Eric coming out and looked at it. Eric pointed to the door and picked up a sunglasses and walked out.

East Hampton is located at the eastern end of Long Island, where there are more top-class tycoons than Southampton, where Spielberg has a manor of five hectares called 'Glory Farm'. However, the richest people who buy property in East Hampton are usually just thinking about summer, because the summer climate is very pleasant. Now that it is mid-autumn, most of the migratory birds have returned to a more livable home, so the town looks a bit deserted and empty.

Eric just stepped out of the gate and saw Chris driving in a white BMW sedan. The co-pilot also sat with his girlfriend Emily Brighton.

The two also saw Eric, slowed down the speed and said hello to him before driving the car into the yard.

Giving the gift to the maid, Chris said with apologetic: "Eric, I am so embarrassed, I am late, just met an acquaintance passing by, and had to get off and say hello."

Eric embraced Chris and Emily respectively and said: "It doesn't matter, this is not a serious date, but I am curious about who can let you stop and say hello."

Chris smiled and said hello to Virginia and Joanna who came over, only to Eric. "Remember that when we first met, did you say Wall Street Wolf? Just that guy is the standard Wall Street wolf, playing the financial master, I was only at Morgan Stanley, there was a time because of a single business with him. This person's reputation in the investor is not very good, But I admire his capital operation."

"Oh, I am even more curious about this. What is his name, have I heard of it?"

"Ron Pereman," Chris said, and then said, "I think you should have never heard of it."

Eric is heading, Chris goes on to say: "However, a company he recently operated has a certain connection with Hollywood, the Surprise Entertainment Group, which mainly deals with comics publishing, as well as toy making and animation companies. of."

When Eric heard the name, he suddenly raised his eyebrows and stopped his mind: "Amazing comics. I have certainly heard of this company."

“Not a surprise comic, Surprise Entertainment Group is the parent company of Marvel Comics.”

"Well, don't you say these things go. Go ahead, eat," Virginia said, seeing that the two men seemed to be standing outside the door, quickly reminded.

"Well, let's go in," Eric reluctantly gestured to Chris, but said: "Wait to tell me about this company. I am very curious."

"No problem," Chris said. "But I have another surprise for you. Well, well, let's eat first."

The group walked into the restaurant with a smile and the servants had already placed the food on the table. Eric personally gave Chris and Emily a red wine, and poured himself aside. He put the bottle aside and the two women also drunk the juice very intuitively.

Seeing this scene, Emily Brighton raised her eyebrows and looked at her boyfriend.

"They are pregnant, can't drink," Eric noticed Emily's expression. Proactively explained that he never thought about denying his children, of course, there is no need to hide from relatives and friends.

"In fact, I can drink a little." Emily was a little surprised by Eric's calmness, and then she said with a smile, but soon shook her head again: "However, it is good to not drink."

Eric also smiled and said to Chris: "Yes, Chris. Just that, amazing entertainment group. Can you tell me?"

Although the two don't meet often, Chris is very familiar with Eric: "Are you interested in this company?"

"Of course, you should see the success of dc's "Batman" series?"

"This "Batman Returns" is awful to me. I am a fan of dc comics," Chris shook his head regretfully, but quickly turned to the topic: "If you want to win a surprise Entertainment, now is not a good time, I just said that Ron Pereman is a master of playing capital, he is to buy the company and then sell the family, just like you are in the "Feng Yue Qiao Ren" In the shape of Edward, I remember that Ron Pereman spent $80 million three years ago to buy most of the assets of the Amazing Entertainment Group, but he bought it not for business, and, in recent years, he was surprised. The entertainment business has also been declining, but guess what Ron Pereman has earned from Surprise Entertainment in the past few years?"

After Chris finished, Virginia couldn't help it: "If you spend 80 million to buy it, you must earn at least half?"

"You are too small to look at these Wall Street wolves," Chris smiled and looked at everyone: "Guess again."

Joanna smiled slyly, apparently she didn't know anything about it.

Emily, who is sitting next to Chris, thought about it. "With the return on investment of Wall Street tycoons, I think that 30% of the annual profit should be doubled, 80 to 100 million. about."

"No, it's still too conservative, Eric, what do you think?" Chris looked at Eric again.

Eric shrugged: "I don't care, anyway, he definitely won't have much."

"amount……"

"Oh..." Seeing Chris seem to be stunned, the three women laughed at the same time.

Chris also smiled and said: "This is not the same. The opportunities brought about by the Gulf War are impossible for many people to encounter in life. Most of this depends on luck, but people are real strength."

"Well, Chris, don't go around and reveal the answer to everyone."

Chris nodded and said: "500 million dollars."

"No, so much?" Emily couldn't help but be surprised.

“It’s true, this is still the number that has been made public,” Chris said calmly.

Eric also became curious: "You just didn't say that the business of surprise entertainment has been losing money, how did he earn it?"

Chris said: "In the past three years, Ron Pereman used the assets of the Amazing Entertainment Group as a collateral to cash out at least $500 million from the capital market through the issuance of bonds."

"How can someone be so stupid, buy a bond worth only $80 million, and buy 500 million?"

"So I said that Ron Pereman is the real Wall Street wolf. He used the superb capital operation method to sell all the $500 million worth of corporate bonds. These bonds are now all classified. With the lowest level of junk bonds, once the expiration, the surprise entertainment can not be repaid on time, then the company may be bankrupt and reorganized at any time, and Ron Pereman has received 500 million US dollars for other businesses. on."

Joanna couldn't help but whisper at this time: "This should be illegal?"

Chris smiled and just made a look you know. Emily volunteered: "If you get to the bottom, it should be illegal, but I haven't seen a few Wall Street tycoons being jailed between bankruptcy. However, as long as they don’t take the lead, the law basically does not have much effect on these people. I think even if he is brought to court by the bondholders in the future, the compensation is only a profit of 500 million US dollars. A little less."

Chris agreed with a sigh, and said to Eric: "So, Eric, if you want to win the surprise entertainment group, now is not a good time, as long as you move this idea, and then Luo En. Pereman found out, then you are waiting to be a big man."

"If you want to buy a surprise entertainment, do you think I should shoot?" Eric asked.

Chris thought about it and said: "Now the value of the Surprise Entertainment Group has been basically squeezed by Ron Pereman. I think for up to two years, he will throw this company away as a discard, if you really If you are interested, I can collect some information for you, and then we wait for the right time to shoot again."

"Then you should be as soon as possible, Chris, take this as a very important thing to do," Eric said solemnly. "I have also seen some comics, they have a popular comic character than dc. Much more, I think the value of this company is definitely much higher than expected."

Chris stopped the action and looked at Eric: "So, are you planning to buy this company?"

"Of course, I am serious."

"Well, I will put this in my heart." Chris nodded, and everyone immediately changed the subject, because Eric’s frankness, everyone’s pregnancy about the two women did not evade. Rick also asked when Chris and Emily planned to get married.

"This depends on her meaning, but my dad came to New York last time, and I hope that we can at least get engaged first." Chris, who heard this question, was helpless. Emily had some uncharacteristic hangs and seemed to be embarrassed. . (To be continued)
