I’m in Hollywood

Sensing the movement around her, Linda, who was leaning against the man's arms, opened her eyes and saw Cindy leave the bedroom lightly.

The bright light coming in through the gaps in the curtains indicated that it was getting late. Due to the great success of Yahoo's ipo, everyone was partying until late last night, and even Eric was rarely drunk. The man who was sleeping at this time There was still a slight smell of alcohol on him.

Thinking of what happened yesterday, Linda suddenly lost sleepiness, leaned her head and pecked on the man's cheek, then gently lifted the quilt and got up, just put on a big T-shirt and started to wash. Although it was freezing cold outside New York at the end of November, it was as warm as spring in the apartment.

This is Cindy's apartment on 75th Street next to Madison Avenue. Although it is not a retest structure, it occupies the entire top floor of the 11-story apartment building.

It was the first time that Linda saw this apartment, where every detail of the decoration was elegant and exquisite, and Linda began to secretly despise her house in Greenwich Village, so she often came over to live with Cindy, still in private. Li let the real estate company secretly look for similar condos on the Upper East Side for sale, but so far nothing has come of it.

Walking through the corridor to the living room, Linda threw herself comfortably on the soft double sofa, stretched her body like a cat, and lazily picked up the remote control from the coffee table next to her to turn on the TV.

It happened to be the morning news time, and most of the TV anchors were excited, amazed or acerbic about yesterday's Yahoo listing.

...As of the close at 4:00 p.m. yesterday, Yahoo's share price was fixed at $72.56, a 119.88% jump from the issue price, and the market value finally reached $91 billion, creating the biggest IPO miracle since the outbreak of the new technology wave. In addition to the basic issuance of 150 million shares, an additional greenshoe option of 22.5 million shares was issued. Calculated based on the total number of issued 172.5 million shares, Yahoo's IPO financing scale will reach $5.6925 billion...

...Everyone is talking about the tech bubble, but everyone can't resist the temptation to invest in tech stocks with high returns, yes, including myself. Seriously, I got off work yesterday afternoon, and I called the first time. My stockbroker called and he told me it was closed for the weekend, well, that's a shame...

...According to the shareholding distribution data submitted by Yahoo to sec, after the IPO, including the greenshoe option that will be cashed out, the total share capital of Yahoo is 1.255 billion shares, of which Firefly Investment holds 986 million shares, holding 986 million shares. The share ratio is 78.56%; the number of shares held by the management is 96.5 million shares, with a shareholding ratio of 7.69%; the number of outstanding shares is 172.5 million shares…”

...two billionaires, six billionaires, twenty-six multi-millionaires, and 213 millionaires, this is the miracle created by Yahoo's ipo. As of yesterday's close, Yahoo! The total value of the 96.5 million shares held by the strata reaches a terrifying $7 billion, and we have to feel the generosity of the boss Eric Williams. However, relatively speaking, the net worth of our richest man in the world has risen even more. It's amazing, compared to the $15 billion valuation of Yahoo given by Forbes magazine at the beginning of the year, Yahoo's listing yesterday directly caused Eric Williams' net worth to skyrocket by $57 billion...

……actually,

Since the second half of the year, many Wall Street media have frequently made Yahoo's valuation of more than 50 billion US dollars. Moreover, according to some inside information, Yahoo's early IPO plan, the proportion of new shares issued far exceeds the actual 13.75%. Therefore, we have to admit that Yahoo has chosen a very sensible IPO strategy. According to the issue price of $33, Yahoo’s valuation of itself during the IPO process is only $35.7 billion, which is far lower than the average valuation of Wall Street. Undoubtedly, it has greatly stimulated the buying of countless investors around the world, thus causing the miracle that Yahoo's stock price rose by more than 100% on the first day of listing...

...It is conceivable that if Yahoo implements the IPO according to the data given by Wall Street, its stock trend curve yesterday will never be as good as it is now, and it may even break on the first day due to excessive valuation. Moreover, from Yahoo! Judging from the details of the additional 15% greenshoe option, I don’t think this is definitely not for Yahoo’s shareholders and management to get more IPO financing, otherwise they only need to raise the issue price to $37, so Yahoo’s valuation is still far lower According to the average data of Wall Street. The reason why Yahoo does this is to avoid the risk of breaking the first day to the greatest extent, and underwriters can legally enter the market for the first time when the stock price falls. If my inference is true, then it can be It proves that the controller behind the Firefly system, that is, Eric Williams, undoubtedly still maintains a very clear mind when the wave of new technology has boiled. It is very commendable. Therefore, although Yahoo's share price has been seriously inflated, I still recommend investors to buy appropriately, because a corporate controller who can remain sober in the tide can definitely lead this company. Continue to create brilliance...

...According to the latest statistics, Eric Williams' current net worth has reached 265 billion US dollars. Let's take a look at the Forbes global rich list at the beginning of the year, what did you find? Yes! 265 billion US dollars, more than The combined wealth of all the other nine billionaires in the top ten list shows that the total wealth of the nine billionaires from the second to the tenth is only $259.4 billion. Although this year It is coming to an end. Next year, the net worth of other billionaires will increase to a certain extent with the recovery of the global economy. However, with the crazy attitude shown by Nasdaq and Firefly Investment's interest in many star technology stocks in the Nasdaq market. Although there is only one month left for the high shareholding ratio, we have good reasons to infer that in this month, Eric Williams’ net worth is likely to reach a new high, breaking through the more unprecedented $300 billion …”

...at 4:20 in the afternoon, our reporters outside the Nasdaq exchange still failed to interview Eric Williams himself. It is said that he had been with the two The girlfriend left the Nasdaq headquarters early. However, after tossing and turning, we were lucky to have a short interview with Chris Hansen, president of Firefly Investments. According to Chris Hansen, after Yahoo completed this ipo , the next step will focus on expanding overseas business...

In the past, when I heard news such as stock prices, options, IPOs, etc. on TV, Linda would definitely change the channel without even thinking about it. But today, I was switching channels continuously, listening to the hosts of different TV stations talking about various information about Yahoo's listing yesterday. Although I didn't understand many details, Linda still listened with relish, even a little pride.

However, when she heard the last cnbc host's broadcast, Linda suddenly froze for a moment.

She seemed to hear something strange.

Two girlfriends?

Is it me and Cindy?

When did you and Cindy become his 'two girlfriends', and what's the situation with your host's accustomed tone!

Is this kind of thing very common now?

After turning her head around for a while, Linda faintly felt that she understood something, but after thinking about it carefully, she couldn't catch anything.

So she got up naturally, lay on the back of the sofa and shouted to the kitchen: Cindy, Cindy.

After a while, Cindy stuck her head out of the kitchen impatiently: What's the matter?

Seeing Cindy's figure appear, Linda suddenly swallowed the words that came to her lips for some reason, smelling the scent of the freshly baked cake in the air, Linda changed her mouth pitifully, Baby Cindy, I'm hungry. already.

Cindy rolled her eyes and asked, Is Eric up?

do not know.

Go and wake him up, it's time to eat.

Well, you go, I'm not going, I'm afraid.

afraid of what?

When a man just got up, he was very angry. He came back drunk last night and didn't do anything. I'm worried that now he will be killed in the past.

I want to kill you now, go!

Although it's the weekend, Yahoo's management still has a lot of work to do today, having just completed its IPO yesterday.

Eric has never been a manager who cares about everything, and with the scale of the Firefly system, it is impossible for him to do everything. Therefore, although everyone was working overtime, Eric chose to rest and planned to stay in New York until after Thanksgiving, which was a small vacation.

Gisele and Alexander decided to go back to Brazil to spend Christmas with their families this year. They have already left New York, leaving Miranda alone. Naturally, Eric was also driven back to Australia by Eric.

As a result, the time with the women has become very well distributed. From the weekend to the next Tuesday, I can stay in Manhattan to accompany Cindy and Linda, and occasionally pay attention to the follow-up of Yahoo's listing. After Wednesday until Thanksgiving weekend back to East Hampton to spend with women and children.

The two reality shows America's Next Top Model and Project Runway are still continuing in an orderly manner, but before the Victoria's Secret show in London, Cindy and Linda have completed all the episodes before the winter break , is also at rest at this time.

After breakfast, Linda took Eric and Cindy to discuss with great interest how to spend the next four days, and even made a detailed schedule.

Then in the afternoon, we went shopping together. Instead of making a big fanfare like ordinary people, we booked a specialty store in advance, and Cindy and Linda went directly to pick them. The two women were already wealthy little wives with billions of dollars at this time, but they still happily swiped Eric's credit card in front of the waiter in the specialty store. Linda was especially 'excessive', and swiped fifty percent in one day. More than ten thousand dollars, and finally even used Eric's credit card to book a new BMW sports car for himself, as if he was stimulated and wanted to take revenge on the society.

However, despite the decision to rest, the work that should be done is still to be done.

Not a big deal, but an interview with The New York Times.

A few days ago, in order to avoid some unfavorable remarks made by the print media during the Yahoo IPO, Eric and everyone did a lot of work. Although he controls the largest media force in North America, it is impossible for Eric to surrender to the world as soon as he comes forward. .

On the grounds that he was too busy during the day, the interview was arranged at night, and finally it was scheduled in Cindy's apartment.

Eric's public interviews with the media in recent years have been pitiful. Even within the Firefly system, it is impossible to easily get the opportunity to interview Eric. Therefore, The New York Times cherishes this opportunity very much, and has no chance at all. Any objection to the interview time.

Ms. Miller, I must reiterate that this interview is limited to Yahoo-related topics and must not involve anything else, especially Mr. Williams' private life. In addition, the content of the press release must be obtained from our After review, it can be published, and you have an hour.

At eight o'clock in the evening, in the elevator of the apartment building on 75th Street, Mayer and a blond white woman in her mid-thirties reiterated the request for the interview in a serious tone.

Judith Miller nodded, looked at the rising floor indicator, and said, Miss Mayer, can I get a personal interview with you?

Mayer held a stack of documents, shook his head and said, Sorry, you have to discuss this with the boss.

Judith Miller was a little disappointed, but still said: Perhaps, we can have dinner together in private and chat casually.

Mayer continued to shake his head. Sorry, I have a lot of work to do.

The two came to the penthouse together. Cindy opened the door and welcomed them in enthusiastically. In the living room, Eric, who had been dragged by Linda to read a fashion magazine, also stood up and smiled with the man in front of him. A thirty-five-year-old female reporter in a decent professional suit shook hands and said, Hello, Ms. Miller.

Mr. Williams, it's a pleasure to meet you, Judith Miller looked at the scene in the living room with a strange feeling, but although she is one of the leading female reporters of the New York Times, she is not a feminist So she didn't have any distaste for Eric living in the same issue with the two supermodels, and even, like many others, subconsciously took it for granted.

After all, this is Eric Williams.

After a brief chat, Eric said, Ms. Miller, let's go to the study, Cindy, take care of Mary.

After saying this, Eric brought Judith Miller to a study in the apartment. Eric was a little puzzled at first why there is a very formal study in Cindy's apartment. , but when he found that there was a pen holder full of pencils on the large desk, he didn't have any doubts about this issue. At least, Eric doesn't think that there is a second person Cindy knows who likes to use pencils at work.
