Chapter 589： How to spend it?

Eric looked at Elizabeth's more and more surprised look and smiled and continued to list: "Two years ago, when the federal Internet business was just emerging, I also used a $60 million stake in a network service called AOL. Business, got 30% of the shares, at that time the federal network users only more than one million scale, AOL's market share is only 10%. But after the explosive growth of the last two years, now North American network users The scale has grown tenfold, and in a recent AOL business report, its Internet service market share has risen to about 20 percent, and Wall Street has given a valuation of $1.8 billion."

Elizabeth calculated Eric’s $60 million investment and finally felt that she had found a flaw and interrupted him. “It’s impossible. In two years, the return on investment is 900%. Do you think I will believe it? ?"

"Don't you find out?" Eric pinched Elizabeth's unconvinced face: "A new high-tech industry is rapidly emerging, just as the 1980s operating system software and personal computers created Bill Gates and Like a large number of billionaires, such as Steve Jobs, in the case of the Clinton administration's information highway plan, the rise of the network industry in the next few years will once again create a large number of corporate giants and billionaires. In the period of the outbreak, 900% of the return on investment in two years is not surprising," said Eric, who suddenly remembered the classic line in "The Biggest", unconsciously revealed a smile, said: "And, I feel that the potential of the information industry is still far from being completely erupted. Maybe in a few years, if you invest a million dollars, it will become 10 million in a blink of an eye."

Elizabeth has been in contact with the Internet under the influence of Eric, but she did not care too much about the meaning behind these new things. After Eric broke, she contacted some of the life and work brought about by the network in the last two years. The change on. She also recognized Eric's words in her heart.

"In addition, I bought a mobile phone company in Europe, and the firefly software that was spun off from Firefly. The two companies have developed very well. The total value of 1.5 billion US dollars is definitely no problem. If Chris completes the acquisition of Ltd, I will not have less than 40% of the benefits, even if 800 million is good, so forget it," Eric thought for a moment. Laughing: "Beyond Hollywood, I have nearly $7 billion in wealth, and it seems to be one billion more than your family's assets."

Elizabeth stared at Eric’s smiles for a few seconds, and then she moved away with some guilty conscience. She raised her small fist and hammered it weakly on Eric, seemingly resentful: "So much money, See how you spend it!"

Eric looked at Elizabeth’s original white face and became red, and some of them leaned over and pressed the girl under her body, easily catching the restless little hands and plucking into the girl’s ear and whispering: “Would you like it? Come and help me out."

Elizabeth leaned her head weakly. The tone softly shouted: "I am... um, shut me down."

Just to continue to be warm, Eric’s mobile phone on the dresser on the bedside was very untimely to scream. The two had to be slightly separated, and the good things broke into interruption. Elizabeth reached out to Erik in a small depression. I sneak a few times before.

Eric quickly caught the girl's arm and pressed the button. Then, the other end of the phone rang the excited voice of the girl: "Eric, Eric. We are now the richest in the world." Man, I want to buy a plane!"

Well, Eric can't help but smile, this Nizi knows how to spend money.

Elizabeth was originally a little emotional because she was suddenly disturbed. When I heard Drew’s voice, it was really an evil for the enemy to see each other. I didn’t wait for Eric to speak, and sneered at the microphone: “Have you bought a plane?”

Although Xiao Nizi heard some surprises from Elizabeth’s voice, she did not hesitate to counterattack: “My man has money, not only can he afford the plane. Can he still support me, envy?”

Elizabeth grabbed the mobile phone in Eric’s hand and retorted her lips: “It’s really enough for the man’s money to die.”

"Haha, I recorded it," Drew on the other side suddenly had a little excitement: "If I let this out, the housewives around the world will have a good impression on the second lady of the Murdoch family." Then, see how you can distinguish."

Elizabeth didn't believe that Xiao Nizi would record the call just now. She said unwillingly: "Let's let go, if you don't let go, you are my daughter!"

"If Eric is interested in this kind of play, I don't mind being your daughter," Drew's voice suddenly became a bit greasy. After saying this, the phone immediately rang the voice of Elizabeth. : "... The money of the man who died in the white is really enough."

Elizabeth just had to refute two sentences. When she heard the phone call that the tape was released, she suddenly stopped. She just said that this sentence is indeed a bit ill-considered. A large part of the housewives in the United States are not working. The husband’s income is raised by one person. If this sentence is full of ambiguity, it will be revealed. As the daughter of her news group’s head, it will certainly cause a wave of public opinion.

Thinking about it, Elizabeth inexplicably succumbed to the surge, throwing the mobile phone toward Eric, and the whole person rushed toward the bed, pulling a pillow to cover his head and whispering.

Eric had some helplessly patted Elizabeth and picked up the phone and said to Xiao Nizi: "Don't mess around, just delete the recording."

Xiao Nizi at the end of the phone immediately put away the momentum of the claws and smirked and said: "It has been deleted, I just scared her, really stupid, Eric, what do you think of Boeing 777, Boeing The latest wide-body aircraft, I heard that the largest 240 feet (73 meters), and the office loft in the digital field, we are now placing orders, just next year can get the first batch."

Eric pulled Elizabeth's pillow over his head and let the girl put it on her lap to help her sort out some messy hair, while deliberately aggravating the tone to the other side of Xiao Nizi: "Buy that big plane Why, if you want to buy a bay, it’s good, how do you want to play, I don’t care.”

"No, the business jet of Gulfstream is not interesting at all. We can also modify the large Boeing 777. You can add bars, restaurants, bedrooms, home theaters, or you can open pry on the plane. Kg. You imagine, invite a large group of beautiful women, you are a man on the plane..."

Is a man can not help the lure of this scene, Eric just imagined a small, Elizabeth on his lap said: "Eric. If you are so chaotic, I... and Julie Ya will never ignore you anymore."

Immediately in the microphone, Xiao Nizi’s voice was heard: “Hey, you can ignore it yourself. It’s best to go back to Australia and don’t pull on others. Julia doesn’t necessarily agree.”

"You are this little blue pool."

"Eric, she yells at me."

Eric had to hold the microphone for a while and whispered to Elizabeth: "Baby, help me prepare breakfast, I will come right away."

Elizabeth stood up in dismay, and added a sentence: "No aircraft."

Eric nodded quickly: "Good. Guarantee not to buy."

It is very common for Western riches to own private jets. Even if Eric does not buy it now, he will not be able to purchase private jets in the future. Therefore, even though he knows that this promise is not likely to be fulfilled, Elizabeth’s attitude towards Eric is very high. Satisfied, this left the bedroom.

When Elizabeth left, Eric said to Xiao Nizi: "The big plane can't be bought for a while, you don't know how much it costs to buy abc TV network. After two years, the companies I have listed are listed. Think about it again."

It seems that Elizabeth has left, Xiao Nizi has become very good talker, and has not refuted the meaning of Eric. He said, "Okay. Eric, today I am with Amy, they are going to be "Mission Impossible". ,Will you come?"

"I won't go, Amy is a very experienced manager and producer. You can learn more from her."

"Know it."

I was stalked by Xiao Nizi for a while, and Eric hangs up. but. Before he put the mobile phone down, the ringtone rang again, this time it was Chris of New York. After the connection, Chris smiled and complained about the busy line. Eric can only answer the phone. Start to dress and wash.

Subsequently, Eric gradually realized that the influence of the position of Forbes's top 400 list in North America was far greater than he thought.

Throughout the morning, until the mobile phone in my hand was completely exhausted, the Motorola mobile phone did not leave Eric’s ear. The purpose of calling people was even more varied, and even one Eric did not hear it. The charity did not know where to get Eric’s private number, called to persuade the donation, and even Elizabeth’s private mobile phone was echoed by Eric, so that she could understand the purpose of Elizabeth after picking up It’s a good time.

After breakfast, Elizabeth just drove out to go to work, but quickly retired, because her top of the hilltop mansion did not know when the reporter was blocked, and the mountain road that was not spacious was not clear.

Some depressed calls to their office to explain, Elizabeth threw the mobile phone on the round table, and complained to Eric, who was checking the e-mail next to him: "I blame you, they must be scribbled tomorrow. Good Julia recently went to New York, or else I still see people."

Eric checked the e-mail address that had been filled with e-mails and deleted an invitation to interview. He chuckled: "Don't worry, I am now the richest man in the federation, even if I know that I am here, they shoot. If you don't dare to write a photo, you will raise the reputation of the newspaper with celebrities, but it will go bankrupt with the billionaires. My current identity is obviously more inclined to the latter."

Murdoch started out as a tabloid, and of course, Elizabeth also knows the rules. Although the tabloids often do their best to dig celebrities*, they are also very clear that those people should provoke those who should not provoke. Moreover, their male unmarried women are not married, even if they take photos of the two, the titles given by these newspapers are often the title of "North America's richest man's love exposure", and then comment on their own family.

Thinking of this, Elizabeth has some small expectations. It seems that this matter is also open. It is good because, in order to accompany Emma to adapt to New York life, Julia has not been in Los Angeles recently. The media cannot take pictures of the three of them. .

But she soon remembered that Eric had heard the words of marriage and fled, and she was somewhat lost and squinted at Eric.

Eric looked up and saw the girl’s expression and said, "What happened?"

Elizabeth turned her head: "No, angry."

"Oh," Eric thought that Elizabeth was angry at not being able to go to work. He smiled and said: "Don't you forget, we are rich people, and it is not necessary to drive to work."

After that, Eric visually observed the spacious courtyard of the mansion and picked up the phone from Elizabeth’s mobile phone.

After more than half an hour, a Bell helicopter screamed and landed in the mansion.

......

The original method used to show the power of Firefly's film industry has somewhat deviated from making Eric personally a hot news spot. After leaving Elizabeth's house that day, Eric's original low-key personal life could not continue. He can only go back to the sharp corner villa every day, because there are a lot of follow-up reporters, and there are also trackers with other purposes. Eric has to increase his personal security.

After the release of the Forbes North American 400 Rich List, Warren Buffett, whose wealth value was far away from Eric, opened an article in the Washington Post on the second day to publicly question the accuracy of Forbes magazine data. The investment tycoon insisted that Eric’s net worth was no more than 19.7 billion, and only recognized Eric’s $13 billion in assets.

Warren Buffett’s personal influence in the North American business world for 30 years is absolutely unimaginable for ordinary people. Therefore, after the article was published, it immediately attracted a sound of reconciliation.

In order to maintain its credibility, Forbes magazine has no reason to fight for it. Fireflies, of course, have also launched their own media resources to counter Warren Buffett’s views.

At the same time, many investment banks, financial evaluation agencies, professional financial media and even many federal departments have joined the public opinion war because of various interests.

For a time, ordinary people were dazzled by the war of words in the media.

Those who understand the ins and outs of this matter understand that this dispute is ultimately a dispute between the abc TV network and the firefly film industry. The main reason for this is that the firefly is not listed, and the firefly cannot be given through the simple and clear price-earnings ratio. The accurate valuation of the film industry has left a lot of room for maneuver.

On the abc side, if you recognize Eric's worth, it is equivalent to acknowledging the market value of the firefly film industry of about 20 billion US dollars, which is almost twice the market value of the abc TV network. If this view becomes a reality, then the acquisition negotiation abc How can you not benefit?

But if Eric’s assets can be pulled to Buffett’s $13 billion figure, then the abc TV network and the Firefly’s film, which have been rising in stock prices, are basically on the same level, which will bring huge abc negotiations. The advantages.
