MTL - I’m in Hollywood-Chapter 1144 Olivia
Olivia told Caroline last week that Eric would come to Los Angeles, and her flight arrival time was four o'clock this afternoon.
After having lunch with everyone, Eric returned to the Praia Vista Firefly Studios, which is close to Los Angeles International Airport and just picked up the plane.
For Olivia, although it is difficult to recognize this relationship in the heart of Eric, it is gradually no longer resisting. Since possessing this body, many things must be undertaken.
Moreover, every time I get along, Eric can feel Olyvia's inner concern and embarrassment.
Perhaps, if you want to find a few people in the world who can trust without reservation, Olivia is definitely one of the mothers of this body. This is why Eric gave the laptop to her last time.
When I arrived at Firefly Studios, it was just two o'clock and I didn't need to rush to the airport.
Just sitting down in the office, Meyer took a few folders and walked in.
“Eric, PGS submitted a survey of Adam Humberley’s founder of the 'Hollywood Gossip’ website in the morning,” Meyer said, putting down a few folders in his arms and finding out One handed to Eric, continuing: "In the last two years, Adam Wembley has continually misappropriated more than $1.2 million in cash from the equity and bond financing of the 'Hollywood Gossip' website. He was sent to jail. Adam Wembley received the funds from Paramount to release those press releases, most likely to make up for the deficit he caused."
Eric opened the folder and flipped it over and said: "What is the investor of Sequoia Capital?"
"Ronald Hill."
Eric put the folder on and handed it to Meyer, saying: "Give this document to him, I think he must know what to do."
Throughout the incident, Eric was not in the mood to identify whether Ronald Hill, the main investor in the ‘Hollywood Gossip’ website, was innocent.
However, the Firefly Group has not yet put pressure on it, and Sequoia Capital has dismissed Ronald Hill. Ronald Hill then very consciously shut down the 'Hollywood Gossip' website and personally arrived. New York hopes to apologize, and Eric will not have the mind to continue to pursue it. After all, Ronald Hill has paid a price in comparison to Viacom, who is still indifferent to the present.
However, since he got the materials in his hands, Eric didn't mind letting Ronald Hill continue to do something.
To deal with a small person, there is no need for the fireflies to stand up, and the public image will still be maintained. Adam Wombre was sent to prison by Ronald Hill, and even if everyone understood that there was a firefly group behind the scenes, they could not blame anything.
Meyer nodded and handed over the following documents: "This is Firefly Electronics' latest split solution for the Fireflyer player business, and the initial negotiation results with EMI and Universal, if you think No problem, Firefly Electronics can officially launch the split next week and sign a cooperation agreement with EMI and Universal Music."
In the case of Firefly Electronics' promise to transfer the shares of Fireflyer after the split, among the top five record companies, in addition to Sony, which will release its own digital music player, the other four have shown their intention to cooperate. Eventually EMI and the world took the lead.
Firefly Electronics can enjoy the huge profits of the Fireflyer player almost exclusively. In order to follow the industrial layout, it has to transfer to the two record companies a total of 16% of the shares, which is already the limit that Eric can accept.
Successfully wooed EMI and Universal, making up for the shortcomings in the Yahoo Music Store content, and Firefly Electronics did not give the opportunity to the other two major record companies, and decisively temporarily closed the door to cooperation.
At this point, mini music store equipment has begun installation testing in North America and Europe.
After Firefly Electronics officially signed a cooperation agreement with EMI and Universal, the contents of the two major record companies can be quickly added to the Yahoo Music Store, and the content support of millions of music from the two major record companies will be supported. The Yahoo Music Store will also be perfectly supported. A wide expansion of mini music store equipment.
While carefully reading the documents in front of him, Eric discussed the details of all aspects with Meyer, and the time passed without knowing it.
Caroline knocked on the door to remind him to pick up, and Eric stopped talking to Meyer. After a few words, he took Caroline to Los Angeles International Airport.
It is less than five kilometers from the Firefly Studios to Los Angeles International Airport.
Just after four o'clock, in a VIP lounge in the airport, Eric saw Caroline coming over with Olivia and another white-haired old man with tall white hair.
Seeing that Eric personally picked himself up, Olivia was obviously very happy. He gently embraced him and introduced him: "Eric, this is Mr. Robert Cromwell."
After approaching, Eric can clearly feel the sharp eyes of the elderly in front of him. Although a white hair is obviously over 60 years old, the other person's body shape is not in a state of paralysis. Standing together is even higher than Eric.
I remembered that Caroline had just walked in a familiar look between the two. Although she was puzzled, Eric politely extended her hand to the other side: "Hello, Mr. Cromwell."
"Hello, Eric, you can call me Bob," a rough and powerful big hand came over. After the old man opened his mouth, he was even more full-bodied and his face was still smiling. The whole person suddenly appeared to be more than just a pro. And a lot, but also inexplicably shook his head and said: "If it wasn't for Ollie who took the initiative to say to me, I couldn't guess that you were her child in my life. It's unbelievable."
Eric looked at Olivia. Although she didn't think about deliberately obscuring the relationship between the two, it seems that even Caroline's parents still don't know about it, but she doesn't understand why she told this. An old man.
Robert Cromwell clearly saw Eric's doubts and smiled. "Some things are still explained by Ollie. I haven't been to Los Angeles for many years. I can't wait to see it." Eric, if you like, we can take the time to talk."
Simply put a few words, the pedestrian left the airport hall.
Eric now habitually took at least two cars, and separated a car to leave the old man to leave. The other party did not refuse. Simply thank you, and he drove away.
There was only one car left, and two bodyguards were in the front and rear. Eric did not call the car again, but sat in the back seat with Olivia and Caroline.
I wanted to let Caroline sit in the middle, but the girl obviously wanted Ericdo to be close to Olivia, and pushed him to sit in and then sit on the other side of Eric.
The car quickly drove to the sharp corner manor.
Although the rear seat of the Land Rover SUV is spacious enough, but squeezed between the two special women, especially close to Olivia, Eric feels more uncomfortable.
Looking at Eric's blockage with the front cab, it seems that he is worried that his unnatural expression is seen by the front bodyguards. Olivia's mouth has a faint smile, and he actively speaks: "Bob and Bob Our family is a world, Carly said that you are preparing for your security team, I think he can help, Bob has been working in the Special Operations Department of Scotland Yard before he retired."
Scotland Yard is the name of the London Police Department, but Eric is not very concerned about these.
However, since it is a person recommended by Olivia, Eric will not immediately trust it, but he also understands that the reliability of the other party is definitely much stronger than that of the fireflies themselves. The assistant office has already begun to prepare a security company that serves the entire firefly system. It requires a series of professional leaders, and there is nothing to add one person.
Then he nodded and said: "Then I will invite Mr. Cromwell to dinner at noon tomorrow."
I feel that Eric didn't care too much. Olivia continued: "The Special Operations Department has always been responsible for the security of the royal family and key personnel and the anti-terrorism affairs of the London area. Bob never revealed that he is specifically responsible for it. What kind of work, however, your grandfather once said more than once that Bob is the best person of the Cromwell family. He officially retired two years ago. If not, I want him to work for you, but not Too easy, this is still the case when I took the initiative to disclose the relationship between me and you."
Eric has just had some doubts about the so-called Special Operations Department. Listen to Olivia and understand that this department is probably similar to the US Secret Service.
Back to the Pointe Manor, the twins are already in front of the Shell Villa.
The two women returned from Australia yesterday. Shantou claimed to let them come back to Eric to take care of the housework. As long as Eric is in Los Angeles, the villa will do routine cleaning every Thursday. This has been happening in recent years. It is the responsibility of the twins.
However, imagine that the twins are flying a huge Boeing 747 and flying more than 12,000 kilometers to do housework. This kind of thing is too unattractive.
Occasionally think about it, Eric also found out that he had no idea how to deal with all kinds of complicated daily affairs, but the sharp corner manor can make him unable to start.
It seems that the twins just came back. Otherwise, Olivia will live, and Eric will definitely feel more uncomfortable.
Settled down, Olivia did not say when to leave, Eric did not ask.
However, the subsequent situation restored the appearance of Olivia's first visit to the Sharp Point Manor.
I got up early the next morning. After the exercise, Olivia had already prepared breakfast for Eric. After watching him finish eating, he looked at him thoughtfully and left the manor to go to work. It felt like a mother sent in the morning. Go to school with your own children.
Caroline was routinely accompanied by Eric to Olivia, and last night the girl was stayed in the manor by Olivia.
Watching Eric leave by car, the girl kissed Olivia's arm intimately, bending his mouth and whispering: "Aunt, you seem to like to look at Eric's hair."
Olivia smiled, but his eyes were a bit lonely.
There was no chance in the year, just want to find some feelings of being a mother.
But these are definitely inconvenient and the Nizi said by the side.
With Caroline walking back to the villa, Olivia shifted the topic: "What did you get along with Eric?"
Feeling the voice of Olivia, Caroline was a little worried, and his face was red and red: "Well, Eric has always been very good to me."
Pity touched Caroline's face, Olivia could not help but shake his head, said: "Stupid Nizi."
At the end of the morning work, at eleven o'clock, Eric came to the restaurant on the big ship.
Robert Cromwell, who was invited in advance, has been waiting here.
Through some of the information that Olivia revealed in succession yesterday, Eric also paid more attention to the old man.
However, after coming to the restaurant, I saw that the old man was sitting at the table leisurely and skillfully operating a laptop. Eric was still surprised.
Robert Cromwell smiled and got up with Eric. When they sat down, the old man smiled and said, "Is it amazing to see that this antique is going to be a laptop?"
Eric smiled and waved Amy and said politely: "What do you want to eat?"
"Take us a pot of coffee for a while," the old man said, pointing to Amy and looking at Eric. "You must not hurry to eat, right?"
Eric had no choice but to nod.
When Amy walked away, Robert Cromwell looked at Eric again and said: "Actually, I have been paying attention to you very early, but I did not expect that you are the son of Olivia. The world is amazing."
"I only knew this a few years ago," Eric also looked at the old man in front of him and said, "You, I heard that you used to work in the London Police Department. Can I ask specifically?"
"I can't tell you too much about this," Robert Cromwell shook his head and said: "However, I think I can definitely help you, of course, if you have to give me enough trust first, I I found out that you are a little guy who is wary of the whole world. There are not many people who can come to your side."
"So, how are you going to come to me?"
Robert Cromwell smiled heartily and said: "I am old, Eric, you are willing to let me walk to you, it is your business, I have no energy to waste this thought." ”
Although the old man said this, he laughed and revealed a neat tooth. If it wasn't a white hair and a red-faced look, he couldn't really see the old state. His eyes were a little more savvy and embarrassing.
Amy came over with coffee, Eric paused, waited for the girl to pour coffee, and walked away, said: "So, what are you going to do?"
"What are you going to do, Eric," said Robert Cromwell. "But for me, it is a big challenge to help you work. I just happened to watch a financial news." draft."
The old man said that he would turn the laptop screen to Eric, saying: "The latest information from BusinessWeek shows that the entire firefly system controls the assets to reach $160 billion, surpassing last year's ranking. The fifteenth place in Belgium has a total national wealth of $103.2 billion. That is to say, the wealth you control now exceeds that of the world by more than 90%, the real rich enemy. Even if it is Of the 41 trillion US dollars of national wealth in the United States, you have already accounted for 2.4% of the total wealth. This is something that has never happened before."
Eric often sees a lot of media comparing his personal assets with national GDP, and is the first to hear data about the total value of national wealth.
However, if you think about it, the total value of national wealth is obviously easier to measure the wealth of a country than GDP.
Listening carefully to the old man to finish this, Eric said: "So, then?"
Robert Cromwell said: "Then, I can say with certainty that the wealth you have now exceeds the limit that too many people can bear. For many years to come, as long as people do not have the huge economic power of the firefly system. As a matter of course, your personal security problems are extremely serious, even surpassing the heads of any country in the world, because if the heads of these countries are assassinated, they can easily find the second one, but Eric Williams has only one. You personally have an accident, the wealth empire you created will fall apart in a short time, just like Howard Hughes, who actually made a will very early, but after his accidental death, he was a will. He did not suffer, and he also lacked a strong heir. Therefore, after Howard Hughes’s death, his personal assets were basically divided by major forces."
Although I know that all of the analysis by the elderly is a fact, Eric’s heart has always had similar concerns. However, he still looks calm and said: “Well, Bob, what do you think I should do? ”
"You have already started, this is why Orly will find me," Robert Cromwell said: "Actually, I still just mean, Eric, how much trust you give me, I can help you How many things. If you are willing to accept me, I can help you create a strong security team. If you have reservations about me, I can also work part-time as your security consultant."
"I want to trust you, Bob, but you are not willing to reveal too much to me."
"My previous job didn't allow me to reveal too much to you," Robert Cromwell still shook his head, but then said: "I can only say that I can help you create the sharpest spear and the strongest. shield."
"I don't need sharp spears, just a strong shield."
"No, Eric, you need it," said Robert Cromwell. "The Rockefeller family had thousands of mercenaries. The Ford family also created a very aggressive interior, you created now. Wealth achievements have surpassed them and may continue to create miracles in the future. If you want to continue this miracle, you must have your own spear and shield."
"In fact," Eric thought for a moment and said: "In my opinion, such as the Secret Service, their shields are not so strong."
"Of course, in fact, the British side is more serious," Robert Cromwell laughed. "Because the times are different, the masters of the most powerful machines in these countries are always a group of pros and cons. Politicians, in order to please the voters, even the most confidential information of the intelligence department is intended to be open to the public, so you can't expect too much from these people."
