I’m in Hollywood

Considering that Eric and his party came here in a hurry and needed a rest, the barbecue party didn't last too long.

Before ten o'clock, the private resort in the valley quickly returned to calm.

In a villa in the center of the resort, Eric sent the girl who wanted to be with him tonight to rest, and put the three guys to sleep before coming to Virginia's bedroom.

The woman was making the bed, and when she saw Eric coming in, she just glanced at him and didn't pay attention at all.

Eric took off the shell bracelet that Emma had just tied on his wrist and put it on the dressing table, while saying to the woman: Next, Firefly will set up a batch of student grant funds around the world, and I won't talk to you specifically. The purpose is not that simple. However, if it is known to the outside world that I donate overseas but remain indifferent to the country, it will definitely cause criticism. Therefore, I will also set up a local one. This is purely charitable. You and Joan will take care of it together How about it?

Virginia sat on the edge of the bed to change the pillowcase, paused, and said with some air, Joan and I are very busy, let Crawford do it.

Eric nodded seriously: Forget it, I will talk to Cindy next time.

Then a pillow flew over.

Eric smiled and reached out to catch it, and said, Just call it the Virginia and Joanna Fund, okay? Put your name first. However, I'm short of money recently, so I can only donate 200 million US dollars a year to it for the time being. The two of you decide on your own charity projects, of course, if you want to steal it secretly, just be careful and don't get caught.

In the West, it is very common for a husband to be a businessman and a politician and his wife to manage a family charity fund. Eric setting up such a charitable fund is tantamount to putting two women on the table.

The man kept talking softly, and Virginia was too embarrassed to continue playing her temper. She understood the significance of this charity fund to herself and Joanna. After listening to Eric at the end, the woman slightly rolled her eyes, and said again: Joan is older than me, she must be in front, but what about you?

Eric fiddled with the pillow in his hand, leaned against the dressing table and said with a smile: I'm fine, but if it's called the Eric-Joanna-Virginia Williams Foundation, isn't the name Is it too long?

Virginia nodded immediately, and said, That's the name, I don't think it's too long.

That's it, go to sleep, there are a lot of things to do tomorrow.

Eric threw the pillow back on the bed, unbuttoned his windbreaker, and planned to take a shower first.

Virginia got up and walked over, lowered her head to help Eric unbutton, without looking at the man's expression, said softly: For the next few days, let Kai stay by your side, okay?

Eric took off the windbreaker and stuffed it into the woman's arms, and said, Okay, it's time for the guy to learn how to manage the company. Let him attend meetings with me these few days.

Virginia folded Eric's windbreaker and hugged her in her arms. Hearing the teasing in the man's tone, she said aggrievedly, I didn't mean that. I, Kay, is your son. You...

Eric loosened his tie, pretended to be impatient, and twitched Virginia's plump buttocks casually, interrupting the woman's hesitation, and said: There's so much nonsense, help me put the water, I didn't see your man wants to take a bath ?

Virginia let out a soft cry, glared at Eric bitterly, and walked towards the bathroom.

After putting the hot water on, Virginia helped Eric find clean underwear and walked into the bathroom. The man was already soaking comfortably in the bathtub.

Seeing that the woman put down her clothes and was about to go out, Eric stretched out his hand, and Virginia sat down by the bathtub.

I know what you're worried about. Feeling Virginia reaching out to help him scrub, Eric pressed the woman's hand and said, Xia Xia really likes them more than Kai, but have you ever thought about it? With Xia Xia's temperament, will she be interested in inheriting the family business and managing the company in the future?

In many cases, the smarter people tend to look down on wealth,

The intelligence of Hawaii has gone beyond the comprehension of many people. According to Eric's observation of his daughter, the guy may be interested in many things in the future, but he will never compete with brothers and sisters like Kay for the inheritance of the Williams family wealth.

In fact, although he plans to pass on his wealth, Eric will not let his sons and daughters get into the situation of competing for the family in the future. The purpose of setting up the trust in advance is to plan that, like the Rockefeller and other families, all children can enjoy the support of the family trust in the future. If you want to enjoy this wealth and glory for a long time, you must work together for the continuation of the entire family. .

Virginia is also concerned about chaos. Listening to Eric, she also gradually realized that Hawaii is more likely to become a talented scientist in the future, but it is difficult to become an entrepreneur.

However, the woman refused to admit defeat on the surface, saying: The movie you are still showing, Tony Stark, he is a genius.

You're already a movie, Eric slid up Virginia's arm, grabbed her softness that was more plump than all other women in his body, and said: Okay, I only advise you this time in the end. , I don’t care if I struggle with it later. In fact, you should understand that as the eldest son of the Williams family, he is destined to bear more burdens than other siblings in the future, so what you have to do is to teach Kai well, instead of worrying about these messy things all day long.

...

On the second day, the accompanying family members began to organize various activities. When they took time out to participate, the core executives of the Firefly system still focused on communication and meetings one after another.

The theme of this gathering is the discussion on Sustainable Business Model of New Technology Industry.

All the crashes of the Nasdaq index, apart from its own serious bubble factors, the most critical reason is that most new technology companies have not been able to form a complete and effective business model. Therefore, just like the analysis chapter of Barron's Weekly, once the funds of these new technology companies that only know how to burn money are exhausted, and they do not have a revenue model that can provide blood for the company, the result will only die. this way.

Of course, although this topic is within the core topic of this gathering, in fact, it is more of an excuse to the outside world.

After all, even though the Nasdaq bubble burst and the size of the assets controlled by the Firefly system shrunk significantly, the gathering of the core executives of the Firefly system still attracted strong attention from the outside world. dine together. Media from all over the world have also contacted the companies of the Firefly system, hoping to get the opportunity to interview this gathering.

Therefore, under such intense attention, sensitive issues involving strengthening cooperation among enterprises within the Firefly system and jointly excluding competitors from the industry must not be disclosed to the outside world.

In addition, the next development goals of the Firefly system, new businesses to be launched by Yahoo and other core companies, and some important personnel adjustments between companies are all within the scope of the meeting's agenda.

Eric also used this gathering to preliminarily determine the list of members of the upcoming Williams Trust Fund Council, and basically all the core executives of the Firefly system are on the list.

As a living trust, Eric can adjust the list of the board of directors at any time, and even directly cancel the entire trust fund if necessary, so he is not worried about the risk of these executives leaving the Firefly system in the future.

The members of the trust fund council decided that if something unexpected happened, this group of people could quickly save the Firefly system. In the future, the change and replacement of members of the council will naturally operate in accordance with the established rules of the trust fund.

Although only Australia's Herald Sun affiliated to News Corporation, Yahoo Portal, and Group A obtained limited interview rights for this gathering, the topic of sustainable business model of new technology industry was spread out at the gathering. , It still aroused heated discussions in countless media around the world.

Stimulated by this topic, the Nasdaq capital market, which was flying down, also began to calm down.

After the market opened on Monday, the Nasdaq's downward trend clearly began to slow down.

Moreover, following media discussions and industry analysts' optimism about the upcoming financial reports of companies such as Yahoo, Cisco, and Amazon, the stock prices of several new technology companies in the Firefly system even showed a trend of rebounding.

And so on until Thursday, August 12th.

After four days of gatherings, the company of the Firefly system finally broke the first real good news.

At nine o’clock in the morning local time in New York, just after work, Amazon suddenly announced that Firefly Investment will once again provide Amazon with US$500 million in convertible bond financing with an annual interest rate of only 5%, which will be used for the further expansion of Amazon’s online shopping mall and logistics system.

Convertible bonds mean that Firefly Investment can choose to convert this bond into Amazon shares at any time within a certain period of time.

With the collapse of the Nasdaq, Amazon is the least optimistic about the entire Firefly system.

Compared with Yahoo, which has a market share of more than 0%, or Cisco, which has formed stable profits, or even Qualcomm, which is destined to shine in the g era of mobile communications, Amazon has no obvious advantages in all aspects.

Therefore, since the crash, Amazon's stock price has fallen by more than 6% overall, and its market value has fallen from $500 million at its peak to $1.1 billion at last week's close. Many analysts on Wall Street believe that the final decline of Amazon's stock price may reach $90 %.

Moreover, due to Jeff Bezos' aggressive expansion strategy, Amazon's cash flow is on the verge of drying up. Some media even believed that the Firefly system is likely to completely abandon Amazon in the near future.

In such a one-sided pessimistic situation, Firefly Investment suddenly announced another $500 million injection into Amazon, which is enough to overthrow many pessimistic arguments in the industry.

Stimulated by this good news, the Nasdaq stock market just opened on Thursday, and Amazon’s stock price, which was already hovering on the edge of the market value of tens of billions of dollars, directly rebounded by 6%, and the stock price rose by 1% throughout the day.

When the entire new technology market is paying close attention to what good news the core high-level meeting of the Firefly system will bring to the Nasdaq market, another announcement that was so sudden that countless people did not react appeared again on Friday.

On the afternoon of August 1, one hour before the Nasdaq closed, the US Department of Justice held a press conference.

In view of the fact that federal judge Thomas Jackson violated judicial procedures and boldly disclosed the inside story of Microsoft's antitrust to the media, Clinton personally issued an order to remove Thomas Jackson from his position as a judge in the Microsoft antitrust case.

At the same time, considering Microsoft's active cooperation in the antitrust investigation stage, the Federal Ministry of Justice decided to temporarily suspend the investigation of Microsoft's antitrust behavior and restart the settlement negotiations with Microsoft.

In recent years, Microsoft has been shrouded in the haze of a possible forced split.

If the operating system platform is separated from the company, Microsoft's advantages in software applications, network services, and enterprise services will disappear.

Now, the Ministry of Justice has suddenly stopped the antitrust investigation of Microsoft, which has reached the final stage, and restarted the settlement negotiations, which is tantamount to directly abandoning the decision to split Microsoft.

Although many people realize that the Department of Justice made this compromise, it is likely to avoid further stimulating the new technology market that continues to plummet, but this strong positive news did achieve an immediate effect.

Just after the press conference, the Nasdaq index jumped out of an obvious upward curve at the end of the day. In just half an hour, the Nasdaq index rose by 9 percentage points.

The Nasdaq index, which had plummeted for nearly a month, finally stabilized after two shots of cardiotonic drugs for two consecutive days.

However, in the following weekend, a series of good news from the Firefly system was announced, which almost brought tears to the eyes of many Wall Street investment institutions.

Everyone realizes that with this series of good news, the Nasdaq will soon enter a period of rebound.
