I’m in Hollywood

After chatting with everyone for a while, Eric looked at the time, and it was already five o'clock in the afternoon, so he got up and said goodbye. Music\u003eWritten Novels ww.しwxs520.cm

Hearing that Eric was leaving today, the girls were obviously more disappointed than Carmen Kess, and Eugenia Volodina boldly asked to stay: Eric, it's late now, Why don't you leave tomorrow?

Tomorrow has something to do tomorrow, Eric put on the shoes that Carmen Kess handed over, stood at the entrance and looked at a group of goblins who came over to send him out, and said with a smile, I'll accompany you next time when I'm free. Let's talk, it's raining outside, so you don't have to come out.

Eric said so, the girls stayed in the living room obediently, and Carmen Keith still insisted on coming downstairs together.

Although the days are long in summer, due to the rain, the outdoors are still beginning to look a bit dark at dusk.

The two cars had already parked on the side of the road. The driver saw Eric and Carmen Keith coming out of the apartment, got out of the car and opened the door.

Walking to the side of the car, seeing the reluctant expression of the girl beside him, Eric gently pushed her waist: Get in the car, and give me another ride.

So he got into the car, watched the man hand over the umbrella to the driver beside him, and then got in himself, so he felt a little uneasy. He wouldn't take him directly to Los Angeles, would he? It seems that he still wants to be with Giselle and the others?

How can this be.

Eric sat down, noticed that Carmen Keith's eyes flickered, and said with a smile: I can only take you to the Hudson River, and I will fly to Long Island Airport from there.

Immediately relieved, but still a little bit disappointed.

If he forced himself to go to Los Angeles, he would definitely not be able to resist.

A hand reached out and gently held her face, so she closed her eyes slightly, feeling the man's kiss.

Eric just kissed the girl on the lips lightly, then let her go, and said softly: Don't think about it, and don't worry about gains and losses. I still prefer the way you were when you rushed to bite me.

His face was a little rosy immediately, and he still took the initiative to lean on the man and asked, When will you come again next time?

I'm not sure about this, Eric put his arms around the girl's waist, and said, However, I will definitely come to New York more frequently in the future, and you can also go to Los Angeles at any time. The airport on Long Island is usually They will park a Gulfstream V, give me a call, and they will arrange it for you. Of course, it’s not just Los Angeles. You can go anywhere you want. Private jets will rust if they are parked there for a long time. So, do me a favor.

Leaning on the man's shoulder, just listening to him like this, I always feel very warm in my heart, and the corners of my mouth can't help but curl up.

But he didn't think about using his private jet in the past, although he knew that those things were completely worthless to him, just like ordinary people's cars. However, without him by his side, I would definitely feel very guilty.

But on the surface, he still nodded along with him: Then I can go back to see my mother at any time.

Gulfstream V will definitely have no problem going to Eastern Europe. However, if you want to go back, I can lend you a large plane, which is more comfortable for long-distance flying.

Um.

Eric put his head on the girl's soft long hair, and said: I saw them just now, and suddenly found a problem, have you thought about the future?

She repeated in a obviously confused tone: In the future?

I used to have a small plan for my future, but too many things have happened during this period, and my current life is a bit chaotic, so I don't even have time to think about the future.

Yeah, Eric turned his head to look at the girl's pretty face, and said, As a woman of the Williams family, of course you can never work for the rest of your life, but I still hope that you can do something.

Hearing a certain address in the man's words, her body stiffened slightly, but soon softened again, and said, But, I don't know how to do it?

Firefly will have many arrangements in Eastern Europe in the future,

For now the focus is on Finland. However, Estonia is right next to Finland, and you just happen to be there, maybe you can do more arrangements there, and you will be responsible for some things then, Eric said, thinking for a while and then said: Of course, this matter It’s still a bit early for you, how about this, I’ll take the time to talk to Paul Rowland, invest a sum of money in WM, let you be a partner of this agency, learn to do it first besides modeling work Some things to take care of the company.

Well, I'll listen to you, she nodded, hesitated for a moment, and said again: I, actually, I can invest my own money in WM, the endorsement fees from Victoria's Secret and Dior, and others.

After saying that, she immediately glanced nervously at the man beside her.

Although WM is far inferior to industry giants such as Elite and IMG, if one of her contracted models suddenly proposes to become a shareholder of the company, she will definitely be rejected mercilessly.

However, if you get Eric's support, the situation will definitely be different. WM's shareholders will not care about her money as a model, but they would like to be able to climb the towering tree of the firefly system.

Eric originally planned to let Carmen Keith practice his skills, so he naturally looked down on small companies like WM. Hearing what she said, he nodded without thinking about it and said, Okay, just don't cry when you lose money.

The overall annual marketing budget of the Firefly system is billions of dollars, and there are not too many places where models are used, let alone the entire Hollywood. Even if these are not mentioned, it is just a brand of Victoria's Secret, and a little more angel places for WM will be enough for this brokerage company, so there may be no loss.

She thought about it, and said, Perhaps, you can also invest a little bit in WM.

If the Firefly system does not invest at all, there will always be some taste of injustice.

Eric smiled and said, That's right, I've already started to think about things. If this is the case, then you can talk to Paul Roland yourself. Tell him that Firefly only needs 10% of the shares, how much you can get for yourself, and how much you can get. It is up to you to negotiate with him for any price, and I will only pay at the end.

Hearing what he said, she felt a little embarrassed, but her little mind couldn't help but start to think.

Model agencies do not have the same anti-monopoly restrictions as Hollywood agencies, but because the barriers to entry are too low, the competition among model agencies is also very fierce. Even after the emergence of the Victoria's Secret Legion, the commercial value of the top supermodels in the entire industry has risen with the tide, but the annual revenue of a multinational industry giant like Elite is actually only four to five billion U.S. dollars, and the profit is even lower.

In comparison, in front of the entire firefly system, WM is just a small shrimp beside a giant whale.

However, this can provide her with a valuable 'stage' outside the show. She has never been a girl who is willing to be mediocre, but she didn't have the opportunity before, but now, with the support of the man beside her, she soon felt eager to try.

Considering that he will often commute between Long Island Airport and Manhattan in the future, in order to save time and make docking more convenient, Eric also built a helipad on the banks of the Hudson River, right on 66th Street, which leads directly to the ABC headquarters in the Upper West Side. the end.

As the two chatted, the car had already driven into the gate of the closed private apron on the Hudson River, and the black VH-60 helicopter was already waiting by the river. Like the East Coast, Long Island Airport also has two VH-60 helicopters. 60.

Today's rain obviously didn't mean to stop at all. After getting off the car, Eric said goodbye to Carmen Kess, and hurriedly boarded the helicopter with his entourage and flew to Long Island Airport.

She stood on the edge of the tarmac with an umbrella, her face up, her eyes followed the huge black helicopter, circled north along the Hudson River, and then flew east, until it disappeared, and then retracted again. under the umbrella.

The emotion of parting neutralized some of the excitement just now, and my mood suddenly became a little depressed.

Two black Mercedes-Benz sedans are still parked nearby, and the drivers are also affiliated to the security department of the Firefly Group. Later, these two Eric's exclusive cars will be driven back to the company's garage, and a special person will be responsible for maintenance until Eric Gram next time.

After the last eavesdropping incident, various security measures around Eric began to become stricter.

Carmen Keith was not the kind of person who liked to bother others. When the shadow of the helicopter disappeared completely, she noticed that there were two cars waiting for her, and hurried over.

The driver opened the door, took her umbrella, protected her with one hand and got into the car. The two cars left the tarmac one after the other.

A few minutes later, when I returned to my apartment again, opened the door and walked in, there was an inevitable feeling that all the pumpkin cart evening dresses had disappeared.

Fortunately, he is sure to find himself without a glass slipper.

The girls didn't leave, and when they saw her coming back, they greeted her one after another, laughing and asking all kinds of tentative questions. Although she would soon become one of the bosses of this group of girls, she was not in a hurry to reveal the matter , Some absent-mindedly discussed with everyone where to eat at night.

It takes at least two hours by car from Manhattan to the private airport on Long Island, but the helicopter arrives at the destination in half an hour.

The three girls, Giselle, had been waiting at the airport for several hours. Seeing that Eric finally arrived, they inevitably complained a little, but soon became excited after boarding the Boeing 747.

Since it started with Carmen Case, Eric also called Giselle to the front cabin study for a detailed discussion during the flight back to Los Angeles.

Of the three girls, he has always valued Giselle the most.

Giselle's current contract is still under Elite's banner, but Eric did not let Giselle also invest in Elite like Carmen did.

Compared with WM, Elite is already a listed company. Although in terms of market value, Eric can easily swallow Elite in its entirety, but Giselle is obviously not at the level where he can participate in the management of Elite.

After the discussion, Eric had another phone call with Cindy on the plane, and temporarily asked Giselle to help Cindy's production company.

As for Alexander and Miranda, Eric didn't have any arrangements for the two girls. These two girls didn't have Giselle's self-motivation, and they were just two pure little vases around them.

The arrangement of Carmen Keith and Giselle was not Eric's whim.

The Firefly system has developed to the current level, and it will definitely need to expand globally next.

This is not because the development of the Firefly system in North America has reached its limit. In fact, apart from the initial completion of the Hollywood layout, the major technology companies under Firefly Investment are still in the stage of rapid development.

However, whether it is Yahoo or Cisco, or Nokia, these companies are destined to be global corporate giants.

If you start overseas expansion after the development of North America is saturated, you must have missed the best time.

On the other hand, according to the current size of the Firefly system, if you want to successfully expand overseas, if you don’t have a sufficient political layout overseas, you will definitely encounter many obstacles.

Take Europe as an example. In the past, when North America gradually relaxed anti-monopoly restrictions on technology giants such as Microsoft, the European Union began to increase its pressure on these companies. Therefore, if the firefly system's own power can be fostered in Europe in advance, such troubles will definitely be much less in the future.

Of course, if the current Firefly system wants to support and win over, the target can often only be one or more countries, not just invest in some politicians or groups. After all, only this kind of national assistance can play a supporting role in the huge firefly system.

In fact, with Nokia's share in the Finnish economy, as the absolute controller of this mobile communication giant, the Firefly system has actually had a very strong influence on the Finnish owners.

As a member of the European Union, if the EU wants to suppress the Firefly system in the future, even if it is not directly targeting Nokia, but Yahoo, Cisco and other companies, Finland is destined to stand on the side of the Firefly system.

However, just one Finland is obviously not enough.

Among the main member states of the European Union, it is too difficult to win over Germany and France. These two countries, which have developed to the peak and basically stagnated, are definitely not Eric's ideal goals.

In contrast, if it can get the help of News Corp., the UK can provide Eric with great help, but it is impossible for Eric to pin his hopes on Murdoch. What's more, the UK has maintained a close relationship with the EU from beginning to end.

In the end, then, self-reliance is king.

The targets in Europe are naturally the Eastern European countries that are still in the stage of rapid development and have great potential, and may even include Russia.

The all-round penetration of the entire Eastern Europe from economy to politics will not only open up another vast market with hundreds of millions of people for the entire Firefly system, but also, as long as it can form enough influence on these countries, even if the EU still wants to cooperate with The United States will engage in economic confrontation, and the Firefly system will not become the fish in the pond that is affected.

Outside of Eastern Europe, Eric's other goal is Latin America.

In the 1970s and 1980s, the economies of Latin America experienced a long period of rapid growth, just like Southeast Asia in the early 1990s.

However, due to mistakes in various development strategies, and the fact that the United States obviously does not allow an economy that can compete with itself in its backyard, the economies of Latin American countries began to decline in the late 1980s.

This happens to give Firefly another great opportunity for overseas expansion.

After all, although the Latin American economy has been in a downturn for a long time, it is also a huge market with a population of more than 500 million.

Moreover, in addition to the expansion on the bright side, Eric's ultimate goal is to build the Firefly system into a separate economy independent of the national level.

Therefore, whether it is Carmen Keith or Giselle, they all belong to the seeds that Eric planted casually.

Eric doesn't expect much from the two girls, but if they can do well, as his own women, Eric is more willing to let them play a greater role in the entire Firefly system.
