Chapter 1043: The bad guys are of course you are doing it.

Eric didn't know Howard Sterlinger's secret movements. His answer was entirely the rules of the United States that followed the ‘political correctness’ of the United States in the past. The fastest update
In a social environment like North America, it's not just racial discrimination. There are many things you can do, but you can't say that people who speak their minds are either drunk or stupid. Moreover, even if you do, you must die.
Klin, who is still plagued by the zipper door, is undoubtedly the ‘big master in this regard.’ Unfortunately, he is unlucky and has received evidence directly.
Say goodbye to the two of the wells, Eric did not go far, the car drove a corner and let the driver stop.
A moment later, Bill Michal drove up and stopped at the back of the Eric car. After getting off the bus, he ran and ran.
The driver got off the car and pulled the door open. Bill Michal sat in carefully and greeted him with respect: "Mr. Williams?"
"Call me Eric," Eric smiled. Bill Michalnick is about the same age as Kasenberg, but because of his age and his own power, Eric Bilmichanik The respect of such people did not feel any awkwardness, but just opened the door and saw the road: "After the transaction is completed, are you planning to stay?"
Bill Michal nodded quickly: "Of course, if you can."
"I have seen your work experience in the Disney period. Disney's animated film video distribution business was made by you personally. Jeffery also believes that you can continue to hand over the Columbia Film Company to you. So, during this time, you can Think about the future development of Colombia. In the future, the film company will still operate independently. I hope that after the transaction is completed, Columbia Film Company will be on the right track as soon as possible."
Bill Michal is somewhat excited. He knows Eric in what he saw in Hollywood. If Eric does not intend to incorporate Columbia Pictures into the Firefly Group, his future power will definitely be much higher. . As long as the Columbia Film Company can recover in the future, he will certainly be one of the seven top leaders.
Try to keep yourself calm, Bill Michalnik asks: "Wei... Eric, what about these recent things?"
Eric thought for a moment and said: "The news that Firefly will acquire Sony Pictures should be announced soon. However, the projects over there have been completed in accordance with the normal declaration process. Others, whether it has already started The filming is still in the preparatory stage, all suspended, you go back and sort out a list for me."
The recent period is a crucial period for Sony Pictures to determine its annual production and distribution plans for next year.
However, Bill Michalnik also knows what kind of posture should be displayed at this time, not to mention the size of Sony Pictures’ business, and it is not worth mentioning in the other movie companies of the Firefly System. There won't be much loss.
In the future, with the help of the resources of the firefly system, Bill Michalnik is still very confident to be able to re-do the Columbia Film Company. Therefore, he did not want to nod and said: "I will go back."
Eric B. Michalnik’s attitude was very satisfying, and he took out a business card and said,
There is only this for the time being. This is my business card. I can call me at any time.

Bill Michal took over the business card and saw that Eric had no other instructions, so he left.
......
The news that Firefly invested in the Sony Group's film business was officially announced on Wednesday in the second week.
Almost a decade later, Americans apparently succumbed to the fact that the company has made a big push into North America.
"Los Angeles Times" directly used a "Hollywood to regain lost ground" as the title, the tone seems to say that the Americans have once again held the entire Hollywood in their hands.
However, while some people are rejoicing, others are aware that the completion of the acquisition of the Sony film business, the Firefly system will control four of the seven major Hollywood film companies, this strong state in the history of Hollywood It hasn't happened yet. In addition, Eric is only showing a strong posture to Sony Pictures because of a script. Other forces in Hollywood inevitably have various concerns.
As a result, media remarks about the possible formation of a monopoly in the firefly system in Hollywood have begun to become more difficult.
I don’t know if it’s really being pressured by the public or someone is stalking. After the news was released a week later, when the firefly investment submitted the transaction request for the Sony movie business to the US Department of Justice, it quickly received a subpoena from the Anti-Monopoly Bureau of the Ministry of Justice. Firefly investment executives are required to attend the hearing related to the transaction, explaining the suspected monopoly suspected by Firefly's acquisition of Sony Pictures.
Firefly Studios.
In the studio of Gravity, other crew members are busy for the next shot. Eric sits at the console and looks at the subpoena delivered to Chris by the Ministry of Justice. Cris, who came over: "So, our president, I still think that I have not had enough trouble, or he thought that he would soon be impeached and stepped down. Is he going to have an addiction?"
The zipper door that broke out in the first half of the year has not only failed to calm down, but has shown a growing trend.
Recently, the US House of Representatives has opened a judicial impeachment voting procedure against Clinton, intending to impeach him on charges of obstruction of justice and alleged perjury. Once voted, Clinton will become the third impeached president in American history.
At this critical moment, Klin is definitely the most important public support, and the offense of the Firefly Group has no benefit to him. Therefore, this subpoena is quite confusing.
Chris had a smile on her face and said: "Before I came by, Janet Reynolds, she hinted that the Anti-Monopoly Bureau had received anonymous materials, and there were people on the Republican side who put pressure on the matter, so they I have to do this. But in fact, this hearing is basically a cut-off. If the government of Klin wants to target fireflies, it is you and not me who receive the subpoena."
When Eric heard Chris's explanation, he did not find the bottom of his mind. A lot of things involve politics, and it will become an unclear bad debt. Moreover, even if you get Sony Pictures, the market share of the Firefly system in Hollywood, there is absolutely no energy industry's Exxon Mobil or the telecommunications industry's at-t market share in their respective fields, even if someone deliberately finds fault, for this The acquisition has added some twists and turns, and the final result will not change.
Returning the summons in his hand to Chris, Eric remembered what he had just said and suddenly curiously said: "Right, who is Janet Reynolds?"
Chris took the summons, put it in a notepad and put it in his briefcase, and explained: "The Minister of Justice, she also hopes that you can go to Washington to attend the hearing next Tuesday."
Eric immediately shook his head: "I can't stand that occasion, you can go by yourself."
Chris smiled and said: "Then I went there. In addition, Yahoo's latest ipo program has been completed. The company's original stock was split five, the total share capital expanded to 1,082.5 million shares. The number of new shares issued was 150 million. The issue price is tentatively set at US$33. According to this issue price, Morgan Stanley’s valuation of Yahoo is approximately US$35.7 billion. The new share issuance ratio is equivalent to 13.85% of the total issued share capital, and the fund raising amount is US$4.95 billion. I have already passed the detailed proposal to Ms. Haines, and you take the time to look at it."
Speaking of fireflies, Morgan Stanley and Morgan Stanley have already begun to discuss Yahoo's ipo program at the beginning of this year, but as the Nasdaq market situation continues to change, the original plan has long been forgotten by everyone. Yahoo's final listing date has been confirmed at the end of November, and it is only about two months away. Therefore, this solution is basically the final plan.
Digesting the information that Chris had just given, Eric suddenly whispered: "It’s about $5 billion."
Chris smiled: "Why, you have no confidence at first?"
Eric honestly nodded, and the more he knew about the North American stock market, the more he worried about the prospects of Yahoo!
AOL can successfully cash out, in Eric's view, it can be said that it is a good time to catch up.
The Nasdaq index broke through 2000 points, coupled with Morgan Stanley's advocacy of the Nasdaq's prospects and the need for investment opportunities in Southeast Asia and Russia's return capital, which enabled the Firefly Investment to successfully complete the reduction of AOL's stock.
However, according to the increasingly fierce growth of the Nasdaq market, the Nasdaq index is likely to break through the 2,500 mark at the end of the year.
AOL stocks are still better at 2000 to 2500, but as the bubble of technology stocks deepens, Wall Street investors will once again raise their vigilance against stock crashes as the Nasdaq enters the 2500-3000 range. Worried.
In this case, Yahoo wants to achieve 100% listing, there are still many uncontrollable factors.
Eric is even worried that Yahoo's listing will really be the last straw in the bubble of technology stocks, as some media have said. After all, even though Yahoo's valuation is much worse than Eric's expectations, in fact, Yahoo's $35.7 billion ipo valuation has a serious bubble.
With the successful reduction of AOL's stocks, Eric is now more and more able to understand one thing, that is, the higher market value is virtual, and only the cash that is available is the real thing.
Chris can probably guess Eric's mind and comfort: "This time, my team also worked with Morgan Stanley on several researches on Yahoo's ipo risk. From the market feedback, as long as the feedback The overall trend of Starck's market does not change too much, and the possibility of Yahoo ipo failure is very low."

I am worried now that Yahoo itself will become a 'change' that affects the Nasdaq index.

Chris obviously also has this kind of worry, hesitated, saying: "In fact, if Yahoo ipo really fails, we have already received $10 billion through the reduction of AOL, minus the expenditure on the acquisition of Sony's film business. The rest is also enough to support Yahoo's continued expansion in the next few years."
Eric also feels that he is too afflicted, he has experienced too much success, failed once, and it is nothing at all.
The two talked a few more words, and Nickel Frank, not far away, signaled that Eric’s next shot was ready, and Chris took the initiative to get up:
Then I will go to Culver City first, I and Sony Group. The representative also has a meeting."
In recent days, the Firefly Investment team has been auditing information on Sony Pictures' assets and liabilities, which is why Chris will come to Los Angeles.
Eric got up and sent Chris to go outside the studio, half jokingly: "Would you like to take some parties to go around at night and relax?"
"Oh, still forget it," Chris shook his head and said: "And, I will fly to San Francisco in advance at night, and Firefly Electronics will hold a board of directors tomorrow."
"Speaking of this, Sony should contact the other side to discuss the exchange of technical patents. You will tell Victor them, this time you must get the micro camera module technology. Last time Victor went to Japan to go back without success. If they dare to do things this time, my boss doesn't mind smashing their jobs."
Chris thought about it and said: "In fact, I am also somewhat reluctant. Once Sony gets the technical patent of digital music player, their md may become the biggest threat to the irelyer player."
The two walked to the door of the studio, and there were a bunch of people waiting behind them. Eric did not personally send Chris to the parking lot. He just stopped and continued: "Just restrict Sony to use its own atra audio. The format is fine. With Sony's internal problems, I don't think they can promote an audio format separately, and there are strict copyright restrictions. We must know that we have taken the mp2 patent for further development to irelyer. The player has been used for five years. What's more, Firefly Electronics also needs an opponent. If they are overtaken by Sony in all aspects, then I will accept it and then expel all those guys. Drop it."
Chris realized that Eric was resolute and not persuaded, but with a smile on his face, said: "Do you need me to tell them the original words?"
"I am the boss, to ensure my image of the people," Eric immediately shook his head and looked at him with a big sigh: "The bad guys are of course you."
Chris knew that Eric was joking and nodded and said: "Well, I am going to be a bad policeman."
