Chapter 596： Procrastination

Chapter 596

Early the next morning, in all major US newspapers, Eric and Buffett met again to reach a preliminary agreement on mergers and acquisitions. Because of the increased version of the weekend edition, the Los Angeles Times also used a lot of space. Fireflies conducted a detailed calendar from the layout to the agreement reached yesterday, and made a prospect for the future development of fireflies.

Eric was reading the newspaper while eating breakfast, and there was a slight noise from the door of the restaurant. Looking around, Kate only appeared in the restaurant door in a large white men's shirt.

Eric found that women did not find his clothes to wear without a teacher, mainly because they often wore formal gowns before spending the night in the sharp corner manor. Evening dresses can show women’s charms, but everyday In the case, it is not very comfortable to wear, so women often find his clothes after getting up.

Kate found that Eric stared intently at the two long legs under his shirt, and the conscious slowed down to cover up some unusual steps.

It wasn't until sitting at the table that Kate was relieved. She remembered the scene that was tossed by Eric last night. Kate suddenly raised a flame, but she quickly remembered the party at the party last night. When I saw the newspaper in Eric’s hand, my tone suddenly became awkward: “Eric, is there anything in the newspaper last night?”

Eric knew what Kate was referring to, and some sadly replied with a smile: "Yes, it’s all headlines,"

Kate’s heart was tight, and she quickly took a newspaper next to Eric. She turned a few pages in a row and didn’t see any information about the two people’s intimacy at the party last night. Then she breathed a sigh of relief and then hated it. Eric.

Eric got up and went to the kitchen. He would give Kate the breakfast and hand it over to her. He said, "Don't worry, there was no photo evidence last night, and there will be no mainstream media reports. Even if it is Those third-rate tabloids hear the news and want to catch up with the wind, but also consider the consequences, so they will only be circulated in the circle at most."

Kate just relaxed and picked up a piece of bread to eat. Hearing Eric’s last words, he looked up again: “So many people know, they will definitely talk in private.”

"We considered it from the other side," Eric re-sit in the chair and pick up the newspaper. Continued: "This thing has no harm to you, isn't it?"

Climbing up to Eric's big backstage, of course, will not have any disadvantages, but will make her acting career even better. But Kate pondered a bit, and I still felt a little weird. However, for things that I didn't understand at the moment, Kate didn't find the bottom of her mind. Plus, last night's ‘the amount of exercise’ was too big, and Kate, who had long been hungry, quickly put aside these and concentrated on breakfast.

Eric Yuguang noticed Kate's expression changes. The smile on the corner of the mouth is a bit stronger.

The news spread, it will not cause any damage to Kate’s reputation and career. After all, although at the top of the Hollywood pyramid, Eric is not the old man of 50 or 60 years old. He is similar to Kate’s age and knows that they are related. Most people will only envy Kate.

However, this matter will never have any impact, the most important point. After knowing the relationship between Eric and Kate, there are not many men who dare to take the initiative to provoke Kate.

Kate put a jam on the bread and looked up inadvertently, just to see the smile on Eric's face. The woman's keen sixth sense made her realize that this expression must be related to herself. She was vigilant and asked: "What bad idea are you playing?"

Eric smiled and said: "You all said it is a bad idea. When did you see a normal anti-sect of IQ will take the initiative to reveal your thoughts?"

Kate snorted, speeding up the meal, and soon swept the breakfast in front of him, looking at the tableware that he and Eric had empty. After hesitation, Kate got up and took the initiative to clean up.

Going back to the restaurant again, Kate saw that Eric had opened the laptop that had just been put aside and was looking at something.

Sit down in the seat just now, see Eric didn't take the initiative to talk to himself, Kate boringly took the newspaper and turned it over at random.

Seeing an article about an anti-monopoly investigation of the firefly and ab merger, the contributor's tone is very sensational, completely a tone of firefly and ab can not be smoothly merged.

Kate first had some schadenfreude, but then he felt that he shouldn't be like this, so he reached out and touched Eric and handed the page to the newspaper: "Eric, is this true?"

Eric glanced at him. He had just read it and said: "It is true, it is not true."

"You don't always be so perfunctory, not too gentleman."

"Well, since you want to know," Eric waved at Kate and let Kate sit next to him. "You see, this article says that the biggest obstacle to the firefly's acquisition of ab is inside ab, but the original internal The biggest obstacles to Warren Buffett and Tom Murphy have already agreed to the deal. The two of them control 40% of the ab shares, plus other shareholders who turn to the fireflies, preferring the combined shareholders to hold shares. It’s far more than 51%, and this one is no longer established.”

Kate listened to Eric and said that she suddenly felt that she was really not interested in these. However, since she provoked this topic, Kate had to point to the content of the report and asked: "Where is this, anti-monopoly investigation?"

"The definition of the monopoly of the federal anti-monopoly law is very vague. When 90% of the industry giants develop to a certain extent, there will be some behaviors of monopolizing the monopoly. This is inevitable, as long as no one is prosecuted, The functional departments of the government rarely take the initiative to find trouble. The investigation of most anti-monopoly cases is actually caused by peer companies to suppress competitors, but it also requires a lot of funds and contacts to support. If you want to file a lawsuit, fireflies There is absolutely no shortage of funds. As for the connections, in order to cultivate the company’s Zhengzhi spokesperson, Firefly now spends more than five million dollars each year on paid Zhengfu consultants and Zhengzhi contributions, as well as ab. Also, fireflies and The merger of ab did not violate the federal anti-monopoly law, even if someone jumped out to stop, it can only play some delaying time. I can not get any benefit, and once again erected two powerful enemies. I don’t think anyone is willing to do anything.

Kate nodded slightly, I don't know if I should continue this topic, and there was a drop of sound from the laptop next to it. It sounds like the ringer of a pager.

Eric also looked at the camera with some surprise and found that there was a conversation window on the computer screen.

Then, a line of words popped up in the dialog window: "This is a beta version, I installed it for you, how about?"

Staring at the name of 'Steve' in the dialog box for half a second. Eric first felt a bit of joy for Steve Mitnick to finally get the instant messaging software, and then he smacked a **** hacker in his heart, and then quickly knocked out a paragraph: "You actually got into me." Computer, don't you think this is rude?"

"Oh, sorry, I just think it's easier to install this for you."

Eric can't hear anything sorry from this sentence. He can't help but hold the mouse to start to view the various functions of the software. After proposing the idea of ​​instant messaging software, Eric will gradually record some of his own memories. Passed to the other party, the interface of this instant messaging software is a bit rudimentary. But the function of the software is relatively good, the account level, user information settings, simple expressions, mailbox associations and chat groups are not lacking, and the operation is very smooth. Although Steve Mitnick is a procrastinator, his technical strength is absolutely top.

Kate has been staring curiously at Eric's conversation with Steve Mitnick, seeing Eric checking the software and curiously asking, "What is this?"

“A chat software,” Eric replied: “With this, you can chat with friends in different places via the Internet.”

"Oh," Kate suddenly came to the mood, curiously reaching out and typing a word of 'hello' on the keyboard. I learned Eric's appearance, pressed the Enter key, and then looked at the words on the window with joy as a child who saw interesting toys. A look forward to the other party's response.

Steve Mitnick quickly responded: "What does this mean?"

Eric knocked back a sentence: "My woman is greeting you."

Kate had just protested against Eric’s address, and the other side came again: “Oh, I heard that you have quite a lot of women.”

"..."

Eric quickly caught the small hand that stretched out to his waist, patted it in a soothing manner, and spit in his heart: would you not talk, nor look at the occasion.

really. It turns out that patients with severe procrastination on the other end of the cable still have emotional intelligence: "Sorry, this sentence seems out of place, your woman is not angry?"

Kate pulled back his hand and gave Eric a white eye. Then he clumsily tapped the keyboard and sent a message: "I am very angry."

I was silent for a while before I returned: "I am sorry."

Eric didn't want the two to communicate so painlessly, grabbed the keyboard control, jumped at the fingertips, and quickly communicated with Steve Mitnick: "Since the software has been made, then I will make the promotion plan as soon as possible. In addition, I will send some of my ideas to you from time to time."

"This is just a beta version. I think it will be better to open it in June."

"Do you have any other questions?"

"There are a lot of problems. Although I have done many improvements, I still have a lot of bugs. I found that I have at least a dozen ways to crack the encryption system of this software."

"I can't think of a way, so don't think of others as you become too much. There are more normal people in this world."

"I am not changing too."

"I don't want to fight this with you. I will take out the promotion plan within one month. Also, don't forget the registration of the patent. As for the bugs you said, it will be repaired slowly. The world is not 100%. Perfect software."

"Well," Steve Mitnick agreed. "I asked them to make the promotion plan first. In addition, you said that you want to come to Boston to talk, when will you come over?"

Eric said: "Do you have any attention to the news?"

"Yes, it seems that you attended the Golden Globe Awards ceremony, I just saw it."

"That was already more than a month ago," Eric said silently. "I am very busy now, maybe I will be available next month."

"Then next month," the other said, and soon said: "Oh, I just glanced at the Yahoo homepage and knew what you were up to."

Ending the conversation with Steve Mitnick, Eric opened the mailbox and looked at it. Allen had sent his schedule.

"I have a plane at three o'clock in the afternoon," Eric pointed to the form on the screen against Kate.

"I seem to have something to do today," Kate stood up and said.

Eric shook his head and took Ketra to sit down again and smiled. "You are not going well, you have to do something."

Kate stunned and smacked on Eric: "It's not all blaming you."

"Of course, I have not denied this," Eric said with a smile. "Last night you said that you want a beautiful beach house, why don't I ask them to send some housing information, do you pick it?"

"No," Kate refused without hesitation. "I will go back and live with Charlie."

Eric nodded and said, "Okay, that's it."

Kate squatted. She thought that Eric would definitely persuade him. I didn't expect the man to skip this thing so easily. Suddenly, there was some loss in my heart, but I didn't show it in my expression.

The two stayed in the villa for a morning. In the afternoon, Eric left Kate to stay in the villa and fly to New York.

If I asked them to send some housing information, would you pick it? ”

"No," Kate refused without hesitation. "I will go back and live with Charlie."

Eric nodded and said, "Okay, that's it."
