Chapter 834： Wedding Invitations

According to the trend of Nasdaq in the next few years, Eric’s stock investment in the last two years, at the right time, can at least get five times the income. [[[

After buying a $200 million Nasdaq stock last year, Eric plans to buy the Nasdaq index at a rate below 2ooo this year and next year, and then invest $400 million in Nasdaq. After the gram index reaches the oo point, it begins to refill.

Compared with this plan, the foreign exchange speculation in the Southeast Asian economic crisis, for half a year of operation, may only be less than twice the income, which is not so cost-effective. If too much money is put on this matter, It will definitely delay the last opportunity to buy the stock at the right price.

At the same time, Eric also does not want to make a big noise, and is targeted by Southeast Asian countries. Whether it is the Firefly Group or the Firefly Investment, it is necessary to exhibit business in the future. Therefore, he took out 300 million U.S. dollars this time, purely just to make a living, earn a pocket money or something, but Shantou wants to buy Boeing 777 for a long time.

Chris also knows about Eric's situation and doesn't think that $300 million is too little.

However, after this period of observation, Chris took the Southeast Asian economic crisis as an opportunity and said: "I mortgaged part of my company's equity and borrowed 300 million US dollars from Chase Bank. Emily, they The family is also willing to pay $100 million. Together, it is $700 million."

"700 million US dollars, this figure is very good," Eric said with a smile, the firefly holding a 3% stake in Chris, according to the current asset size of the firefly investment, the value has exceeded 100 million US dollars, the mortgage shares Chris also mentioned Eric in advance on the phone, Eric did not feel anything wrong, even if Chris's $300 million all lost, 1% of the equity lost, not fireflies What is the substantial impact of the group. What's more, this time is definitely just a game that earns more and earns less.

As for the coincidence, it was because Eric’s oil futures that he bet on the Kuwait war were about $700 million.

Chris immediately remembered the original past, when he and his father thought that Eric was crazy, and the final result was enough to make people crazy.

Smiled, Chris said: "This time we certainly can't get such crazy income. According to the information in my hands, after this tentative attack, international hot money takes three months to establish a short position. Around July. In three months, everyone is rushing to open positions. Due to competitive factors, the leverage of the position will only be lower and lower, and we will eventually get double the benefits."

Although Chris has been busy investing in industry in recent years, from this short period of time, Eric has judged that Chris has apparently not lost the professionalism of his seniors in the financial department. In memory, the Asian financial crisis officially exploded, in July.

“It doesn’t matter how much money this money can earn. I still value the impact of this on the federal economy,” Eric continued. “Once the emerging Asian economies are completely destroyed like the Latin American countries of the 1970s and 1980s. The European economy has not yet recovered. A large amount of hot money can only flow to the North American market. It is conceivable that by then, the North American stock market will once again experience a big bull market."

Chris nodded and thought about it and said: "Eric, although I know that you have a detailed plan in mind, I still want to remind you that you should not hesitate when it comes to cash. In my opinion, Nasdaq market There has been a bubble trend now, just like Microsoft, its annual net profit last year was only 2.1 billion US dollars, and the current market value has risen to 120 billion, which has been overestimated too much. North American stock market has no ups and downs limit, if let go Late, the $100 million investment may take only a day to turn from huge profits to big losses."

"In my opinion, Microsoft's stock price has not reached its limit," Eric said, and solemnly said: "But don't worry, Chris, you know that I am not the kind of person who will be lost by greed. ”

"Yeah," Chris nodded and suddenly smiled. "Speaking, I attended the family party hosted by Steve Forbes last week. I got some data from this year's Forbes Rich List. I want to know you now. How much is it?"

Forbes magazine usually publishes the new year's rich list in March. Eric also subscribed to the magazine. He remembers that this time should be next Monday, but before that, the major financial media There have been a lot of discussion topics around the Forbes Rich List, and Eric can learn more or less even if he doesn't pay special attention.

Looking at Chris's rare sale, Eric laughed: "I am curious, what is Forbes' assessment of your net worth?"

"1.1 billion dollars, can't be compared with you."

Chris shrugged, but he was very satisfied. From the beginning of a general analyst at Morgan Stanley to the present, he has accumulated more than 100 million dollars in more than six years. He is definitely the highest paid fund management in North America. people. There are many large family investment funds in North America that are similar to firefly investments. Although the managers of these funds have a good annual salary, they have very few shares. Moreover, Chris also knows that although Eric rarely manages the investment of fireflies, he is always the key to the scale of the fireflies investment, and he is only an implementer. Without Eric's eye-catching picking of Cisco, AOL, Nokia and other companies, and leading the establishment of Yahoo! Networks, firefly investment is unlikely to be so fast.

Thinking of this, Chris picked up the coffee in front of him and sighed a few times. He said, "Forget it, you still read Forbes magazine next week. I should almost go back."

Today is Thursday, workday, Chris actually flew from San Francisco, the two are not free, Eric is not to stay, is about to get up and send Chris to leave, but see Chris did not move, Instead, an envelope was taken from the handbag and handed over.

“What is this?” Eric asked curiously. When the envelope was not sealed, it was opened. It was an invitation, a wedding invitation, and a look at it. Eric smiled and looked up: “ Are you and Emily finally planning to get married?"

“Well,” Chris’s slightly smiling face was a little more inexplicable, and he reached out and made a random gesture. “My father and Emily’s parents have been urging for a long time. The most important thing is... Amy. Li, she has been pregnant for more than a month now."

"Wow, congratulations, you have to be a father," Eric looked at the invitation again and said, "May 2o, um, good days, where are you going to hold a wedding?"

"Maryland, Dad's farm," Chris said, with a bit of complaints, said: "You should know Emily's temper. After pregnancy, she has been angry with me this month, saying I have delayed her work. However, now we can't find any reason to delay, my father and her parents will not agree."

"It’s just a pre-marriage phobia. It’s just a little while,” Eric will collect the invitation and ask: “How is the wedding preparation, and, have you invited those people?”

Chris said: "My father and her parents are in charge of this matter. You know, they are all retired. The time is too much. As for the guests, you are the first to receive the invitation. We have not confirmed the specific guest list. ""

Eric thought for a moment and said, "If you don't object, it's better to take this opportunity and call everyone together."

Chris wondered: "Everyone?"

"Cisco's John Chambers, AOL's Steve Case, Nokia's Jorma O'Neill, Yahoo's Ian Gernier, and the Firefly Group, Kasenberg, Frank, Robert..." Eric Rodriguez said, "Of course, everyone doesn't have this opportunity to get together. Your wedding happens to be an opportunity. Just like last year's Yahoo! Alliance meeting, I always thought Everyone should meet once or twice a year."

"But, is this going to be too arrogant?"

Chris is a little hesitant. If Eric’s idea is concerned, this should be a big gathering at the top of the Firefly system. This gathering is definitely more eye-catching than the simple opportunity to use the Yahoo Annual Meeting last year.

As a group of companies that have suddenly emerged in the last decade and have a pivotal position in the industry, the gathering of the management of all the subsidiaries of the Firefly System will definitely attract strong media attention.

Eric joked: "This is a marriage. I think it will only be this time for you. It must be the more lively. The best, of course, you can go back and discuss with Emily. I want to ask what Hollywood stars to join and even tell me, I will help you invite."

"That, well, I am talking to Emily tonight, but the star is even," Chris did not refuse, packed up the briefcase, stood up and said: "Right, Joan, I, I And Emily doesn't specialize in invitations. You can take them to Maryland when you arrive. Of course, if you want to bring more, I don't object."

"Don't worry, I won't give you a chance to see the fun," Eric laughed and punched Chris's shoulder.

The two talked and laughed and walked out of the villa side by side.

Sending Chris to Santa Monica Airport, Eric went to Firefly Studios again. After a closed preview of "Royal Casino", he showed the details that needed adjustment. He has been busy with this matter recently.

It was busy until seven o'clock, Eric got off work, but there was a sister paper in the car, Christina Aguilera.

Several of the films involved Christina's end to adjust, and the afternoon girl assisted in dubbing in the late center of the studio. After Venice, the two have never found any chance to get along. Christina hinted a few times and patiently waited until Eric got off work, and Eric would not hesitate to bring it. .

After dinner at a restaurant in Malibu, the two arrived at home more than eight o'clock.

The petite little Nizi slammed Eric to spare no effort. The two were entangled in the big bed in the bedroom, and Eric's cell phone ringing unexpectedly rang.

Eric released Christina in his arms and took a look at the phone on the bedside table. It was Chris.

When the phone was connected, Eric walked in a pajamas and walked out.

Eric is not going to be too deliberate to beware of the women around him. All he does is not giving them some chance to make mistakes. This is good for everyone. New York time is already early in the morning, Chris is calling at this time, perhaps what is important, Eric is not going to let Christina hear.

Leaving the bedroom, Eric pushed open a small living room upstairs, walked all the way to the balcony, and talked to Chris against the railing.

Chris didn't have any important things. He just talked about Eric's invitation to the Firefly System management team to attend his wedding. Emily agreed.

Eric chatted with Chris. Finally, the opposite microphone was simply transferred to Emily. Everyone talked about some details. Eric hung up the phone and felt a little dumbfounded. At the same time, she sympathized with Chris. Chris has been flying a big circle on the east and west coasts in recent days. It’s too late to rest so late. It seems that this time was not tossed by Emily.

Unexpected pregnancy and a woman suffering from pre-marital phobia, her character is too strong, hey, that scene, think of horror.

Hanging up the phone, Eric returned to the bedroom, put the phone back to the bedside table and looked at the big bed.

Christina’s little body was softly trapped in the big bed, her face was red, her eyes were glazed, and she was dressed like a broken doll. Although I knew that this Nizi was installed, Eric was aroused to be prosperous, and reached out and squeezed a little bit of gravity.

In the whisper, Christina's small body immediately became a shrimp, but Eric's big hand was tightly held in his arms, and the water in his throat was even more powerful.

Reaching out to pick up the girl, Eric lay down on the bed and smiled and said: "Hey, sit up and move."

......

Perhaps it was too crazy to play last night, Eric was actually awakened by Christina.

The curtains around the bedroom were automatically opened, and the bright sunshine surged, so Eric couldn’t help but blink.

Christina had a newspaper in her hand, half aside Eric, with a little excitement in her tone: "Eric, "Titanic", the latest week at the box office, a weekly box office of 22oo, total box office 4 Billion 69 million US dollars, breaking the "Star Wars" record, you look at it." (To be continued.) 8
