I’m in Hollywood

Eric looked at the various electronic instruments in the box in front of the girl. Although the number was not large, his scalp still felt numb: These are all found from our house?

Not all, the girl picked up the black ashtray just now, and said, This is taken from Jeffrey's office. Jeffrey is mad, and has arranged for the detective company to investigate this matter privately. , said to throw all those guys who betrayed the company into prison. The rest, my home with Leeds, Firefly Studios, Burbank headquarters, and Pointe Manor, these places are all. However, the good news is that , only one was found in the Corner Manor, in the living room next to the hall, which happens to be the one you don't go to the most. The top bedroom and the basement study have always been cleaned up by Natasha and I, maid They couldn't get in, but I checked it carefully and found nothing. Besides, the people at the Sharphorn Manor also caught it. I wanted to throw her into the sea, but it's illegal, so I'm still closed. I plan to let her lose money according to the contract after this incident is over.

Although Jianjiao Manor is still safe, Eric did not relax at all, and glared at the girl: You seem very excited?

What an exciting thing, the girl didn't deny it, she leaned towards the camera with a smile, and said, It feels like you're playing Mission Impossible.

If it wasn't for the video call, Eric would definitely write a note on this girl's forehead immediately: Okay, be serious, how about New York?

It's nothing over there. I even inspected the house where you raised the little fox. They usually clean up the house by themselves, but there is no chance for people to put bugs, or others are not interested in them at all. The girl said, ignoring Eric's embarrassment in front of Caroline and Mayer, and continued Bala: However, Vicky said that there seemed to be paparazzi haunting East Hampton a few days ago, but not Too sure, not anymore these days.

As long as it doesn't affect the safety and lives of women and children, Eric doesn't care much about paparazzi. After roughly combing the information given by the girl, she asked, By the way, when did the one caught in the Sharphorn Manor put the bug?

The girl deliberately found a folder from the side, opened it and said, On March 25th, she originally planned to put another one in the reception area beside the curtain wall, but it happened to be guarded there at that time. A very aggressive kitten, she didn't dare to lean over. You're basically out of LA for the next few weeks, so there was only one cleaning, and she happened to be assigned to clean up the kitchen with Natasha by her side, so No chance was found.

Fierce kitten?

Eric was puzzled for a moment, and soon remembered that Carmen Keith lived in the Sharphorn Manor in those days.

Consider Carmen Case's temperament.

This description is actually somewhat apt.

Pulling the corner of his mouth, Eric reluctantly gave the girl a warning look, but he began to understand that these things, including network attacks and eavesdropping, basically started in the last month.

Of course, Eric also knows that the outside world's spying on him will never only start in the last month.

However, all actions are driven by sufficient motivation and interests.

If you don't get enough returns, you will rashly launch a large-scale eavesdropping on a super-rich like Eric. Once found, you will definitely be retaliate. This 'return on investment' is obviously not enough for most people to do so .

But the current situation is different from the past. Even, not only the Clover Fund, but also the proportion of technology stocks such as Yahoo, Cisco, and Amazon in the Firefly system in the Nasdaq market is enough to change the direction of the entire Nasdaq market.

If you can know in advance the firefly system's equity operation plan for its new technology company, with the current turbulent level of the Nasdaq market, if you follow the operation, it is just a key piece of news, which may bring hundreds or thousands of speculative capital to a company. million dollars in earnings.

Even if you can spy on some major bad news that can affect the entire technology stock market and establish short positions in advance, once the Nasdaq stock market collapses, the income of those short-selling funds will be hundreds of millions.

In my memory, the 9/11 incident that shocked the world, and the rumors about hedge funds shorting airline stocks on a large scale in advance, although there has been no conclusive evidence, it is definitely not just groundless. Moreover, this operation through internal messages is entirely feasible.

After thinking for a moment, Eric told the girl, You should pay more attention during this time, and don't let anything happen again.

Well, the girl nodded and said again: Then, Eric, don't we catch the murderer?

I'll leave this to you. Of course, don't do anything out of the ordinary. Don't lock up that maid, and leave it to the fbi.

Eric basically has no expectations. Anyone who does this kind of thing will try his best to ensure that he will not be involved. Moreover, you can roughly think of who is doing the bad things, nothing more than a few major investment banks and large hedge funds on Wall Street. Kitten and Puppy probably do not have the strength to do such a thing.

But, I think it's even more impossible to find out something if it is handed over to the fbi?

I just wanted to see if they could find anything.

The girl seemed to understand something, nodded and said again: By the way, Eric, the caci team has already checked the several aircraft here, but some details still need to be tested in detail. The president of caci said that basically There's nothing wrong with you, it should be the same on your side.

Continuing to chat about some things, hanging up the video call, Eric leaned back on the leather chair and began to carefully recall these recent events.

The wiretapping incident began in the last month or so.

Luckily, he's basically been on the move this month, with Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco and, most recently, Tokyo, leaving no chance for a focused eavesdropping.

Moreover, Eric has been very cautious since the beginning of the Clover Fund, which the other party is most concerned about.

So far, only Eric himself is fully aware of the four-month comprehensive selling plan. He simply confirms the list and quantity of a batch of stocks to sell every week according to the market conditions, and then transfers it to Kelly, and then the other party. Contact major trading studios to sell.

Others, even Chris and Katzenberg, Eric didn't reveal much.

Thinking about it this way, the most that those people can get is the sell operation of the Shamrock Fund in recent weeks. But that's just a possibility, and it's more likely that the other party didn't get anything, which is why there was a crazy attack on his personal e-mail in the past week, which caused Steve Mitnick to be alert.

The Clover Fund started selling on March 22, and today is April 23, Friday, exactly five weeks.

This week’s cash-out amount still needs to be counted over the weekend. However, Eric basically remembered the sales figures for the first four weeks, which were about $1.6 billion, $1.8 billion, $1.7 billion, and $2.1 billion.

In four weeks, the Clover Fund has cashed out $7.2 billion like crazy.

$7.2 billion, equivalent to the total amount of capital Eric had invested in previous years. In fact, if you include the $2.378 billion that the 3.1 percent of AOL's shares sold to AOL a few months ago, the Shamrock Fund has been profitable in recent years.

So even if the Nasdaq started to crash now, Eric wouldn't care too much.

After all, except for the stocks held by Clover Fund, Firefly System has no plans to reduce its holdings and cash out for new technology companies such as Yahoo, Cisco, and Amazon. On the contrary, Eric is also very hopeful that he can take advantage of the bursting of the technology stock bubble to further increase his stake in these companies.

Now, Wall Street capital is spying on him with speculative thoughts. Strictly speaking, it cannot obtain the information the other party wants.

Even Shamrock Fund, unless you can get detailed documentation and even account information of Eric's massive sell-off of technology stocks, and then make a big splash through the media. Otherwise, just eavesdropping on some words and spreading them out will not have much impact on the Nasdaq market, which is now completely out of control.

As for operating with the Clover Fund, it is even more unrealistic in this case. A lot of capital on Wall Street liquidated their tech holdings before 3,000, and now, even if they want to sell, they have to have stocks in their accounts.

What these people can do is either go short or buy first and then sell.

The former has a lot of capital in operation, and the risk of the latter even exceeds the former.

Rubbing his forehead, Eric opened his eyes and found that Caroline and Mayer were sitting opposite each other quietly, so he said, You all go to rest, it's still a long time before you arrive in London.

Caroline and Mayer stood up together and asked with concern, Eric, do you want to sleep for a while?

Eric nodded, got up and walked out of the study, went straight into the bedroom in the front cabin, kicked off his shoes, and fell tiredly on the big bed.

After a while, he felt that the mattress beside him sank slightly, and a faint scent came. Eric subconsciously stretched out his arms and hugged him. He felt Caroline's small waist, turned sideways, and saw Caroline sitting with her eyes shining brightly. by the bed.

Patting next to him, Eric smiled and said, Come on, be my doll's pillow.

Caroline blushed slightly, but she quietly took off her shoes, unbuttoned the top of her small suit and folded it and put it aside, wearing only a light blouse and white slacks, she lay down quietly.

Eric wanted to hug the girl next to him tightly, but when he saw Caroline's eyelashes trembling, she looked very nervous, and she was still wearing an OL suit, and she felt like she couldn't handle it at all. .

After kissing Caroline on the forehead, Eric chuckled: It feels like I'm about to be executed.

Only then did Caroline open her eyes, and she turned slightly to the side, and looked at Eric for a while, before the girl whispered, Eric, why don't I let Mary come over.

Eric immediately felt guilty, shook his head and said, I only need Carly.

Caroline blinked, reached out and touched Eric's face, and said, Eric, I am very smart and know everything.

Do you still know how to make the man you like feel more guilty?

Um.

Eric grabbed Caroline's little hand, kissed it, and said, Well, I'm so guilty now that I want to jump off the plane.

Caroline bent the corners of her mouth, leaned over her body, put her face on Eric's chest, put her arms around his waist, and murmured, Eric, I like you.

Suddenly I remembered that night in Lone Pine Town, and Caroline said the same thing.

Eric hugged the girl beside him and said, I feel even more guilty now that a girl confessed to me twice.

Eric, I'm going to make you feel guilty about me for a hundred years.

One hundred years is too long, can it be done in this lifetime?

Um.

In London in April, the weather was still cold, and the sky was still drizzling when the plane landed at Heathrow Airport, a foggy and gloomy scene.

London time is eight hours ahead of Tokyo, but the distance between the two sides is much longer than Los Angeles to Tokyo, the journey is more than 12 hours. After the group landed, it was already the afternoon of the 23rd local time.

Caroline's house is very close to Heathrow Airport, and the premiere will not be held until the day after tomorrow, so Eric directly sent a car to take the girl home at the airport. The caci information security team from California began to investigate Eric's Boeing 747 after the plane landed, and Carter Moen was left there by Eric to personally watch.

Entering the city, it was inevitable to check the residence in Kensington again. After tossing everything, it was already evening.

Mr. Colin Southgate, President of EMI Group, has already agreed to the invitation for lunch tomorrow at noon, and I have reserved a place in the restaurant of the Royal Garden Hotel. The Bertelsmann Group has not yet responded, and there will probably be news tomorrow morning. Also, this is the financial report of the two companies in the last five years, and I have marked the important information. Mayer said, putting a few folders on the coffee table, and added: There are 26 more in here. No. The list of guests who attended the premiere of Iron Man, and the evaluation of the Japanese media after the premiere in Tokyo, the results are very good, Mr. Coyle Crowe predicts that the Japanese box office of Iron Man should be able to To about $50 million.

Eric stood by the hanger in the corner of the living room, changing into a windbreaker, and after listening to Mayer's introduction from the sofa over the situation, he said, Okay, let's go to dinner together.

Eric, I...

What art exhibition are you going to attend?

No.

Then accompany me to dinner.

...

You eavesdropped on Carly's whispers on the plane?

No.

That's it, it's not a good habit, Eric smiled and said, It seems that I really have to teach the female assistant who likes to listen to the wall.

Mayer blushed: Eric, me, you can't do this.

I'm the boss, I can do whatever I want.

I, I will resign.

Then you have to get rid of bad habits before you resign, Eric walked over, pulled up the girl, and said, Let's go, what do you want to eat?

Mayer looked very reluctant, but still held Eric's arm and said, There is definitely no place for Minjiang Restaurant now.

Then change it, Eric said indifferently: In fact, these restaurants are like this. The more you care about them, the more they hold them. I always think that those guys who are proud of what restaurant they can reserve are stupid. .
