Opening the email, Eric noticed an email that Chris had just sent by noon, so he clicked on it.

The email content is the latest list of major shareholders and shareholding ratio information of the United States Online.

Although the Firefly System has given up the board seat of the AOL board and has completely stopped interfering in the management of AOL, it has not completely ignored the company.

After several months of operation, Firefly Investment has basically completed the reduction of its holdings of 25% of the stocks in the United States Online and successfully cashed out a huge amount of US$10 billion.

During the 10% stock reduction operation in the first phase, in order to ensure that their investment gets sufficient returns and after taking over the shares reduced by Firefly Investment, the interest-related institutions behind the scenes of the United States Online also joined the ranks of promoting the prospects of technology stock investment with Morgan Stanley, making the actual stock price of the United States Online gradually far exceeding the price of Firefly Investment's reduction.

In the subsequent distribution process of 15% of the stocks, in order to ensure success, Morgan Stanley not only invested a lot of resources, but also appropriately played hunger marketing, cleverly attracted more Wall Street capital's attention to American Online stocks. Finally, when the official distribution date came, the part of the stocks underwriting that Morgan Stanley had been subscribed.

According to the latest stock price information, the market value of Ai.com has reached US$53.6 billion at this time. If calculated based on this market value, Firefly Investment lost US$3.4 billion during this share reduction. However, with Eric's more pessimistic attitude towards the development prospects of Ai.com than most media and investment institutions, after getting this 10 billion US dollars, even if the remaining 10.6% of the stocks in his hand depreciated into waste paper, Firefly Investment will definitely make a big profit.

The sound of high heels came to his ears, and Eric came back to his senses from his thoughts and saw Anne Hathaway carefully put a cup of freshly brewed hot coffee next to him.

"Thank you," Eric moved the coffee cup to the position he was used to, turned his head and glanced at Anne Hathaway, and said, "By the way, take off your high heels."

Eric spoke casually, and after saying that, he turned his eyes on the computer screen, but Anne Hathaway's heart tightened.

It's coming so soon.

Eric held the mouse and pulled down the email page a little. He felt that the girl around him was gone. He turned his head and glanced, "What's wrong?"

"No, nothing."

Anne Hathaway shook her head quickly and hesitated for a moment. She bit her lip and silently kicked off her high heels, then pulled off her shoulder straps, and took off her black dress.

Eric felt something strange and turned his head again, and saw Anne Hathaway beside him wearing only a small suit, and his development was really good.

"Ha, you're really good at learning from one example." Eric couldn't help but smile.

Although there are many women around you, Eric has become more and more restrained in matters between men and women in recent years. Once he is busy, he will not touch a woman even if he is busy for ten days and half a month. Last night, he took care of two drunk cats like a dad until midnight, and he had already accumulated some anger. Seeing the situation in front of him, Eric did not ask the girl to put her clothes back. He reached out to turn off the monitor. Eric leaned against the office chair and stepped back slightly, saying, "Come here."

In the evening, Eric took Anne Hathaway to the big boat again, but this time he did not go to the small restaurant, but asked someone to arrange a seat in the large restaurant that was open to the public. On Sunday night, there was no one else in the small restaurant, and it was a bit stupid to sit there and eat.

The restaurant on the big ship has long become one of the highest-end restaurants in Los Angeles. Usually, on weekends, the seats are ordered early, but these are naturally not a problem for Eric.

You can enjoy the bright lights of Santa Monica in the distance. Anne Hathaway's face was still a bit pitiful and ordered a steak to the waiter in a small voice. Then she carefully glanced at the man opposite, but she felt a little proud in her heart, and couldn't help but think of what happened in the afternoon.

When Eric called her to her side and pressed her to kneel down, she felt very aggrieved.

You know, since she was a child, she was like a little princess at home and at school. Although she had a boyfriend, because she was very angry, she had never even given her first kiss to the opposite sex, and she had to do that kind of thing for the first time. However, in the face of Eric's strength, she still acted very obediently and comforted herself in her heart to do those things for big names like Eric Williams. It was natural.

So now, looking at Eric, who looked at her with a really troublesome expression, but her attitude towards her was obviously much better, Anne Hathaway knew that her efforts should not be in vain.

I just don't know if I can be his girlfriend. Or, one of my girlfriends, this doesn't seem to be unacceptable. After all, this is Eric Williams.

I thought it was just ONS, um, or ODS, but I accidentally got angry. Eric was also depressed, unable to enjoy it and incredibly troublesome.

After careful recollection, I paid great attention to protective measures from beginning to end.

That's good.

Eric has been paying great attention to this matter since the birth of the two little guys. He is not worried that a woman will ask for huge alimony when she is pregnant with her child. Instead, he feels that this is what he deserves, and money is not a burden for him now. Eric just doesn't want to bring a little guy to this world without any preparation. He is not an irresponsible person, but he is also worried that he cannot be a responsible father. In fact, judging from the reactions of women, he is indeed not a reliable father.

Perhaps, he is not a reliable lover or lover.

Failed!

However, I looked at Anne Hathaway opposite.

Yes, this seems good.

When Anne Hathaway saw Eric looking over, she showed a shy expression on her face, her eyelashes flashed, and she whispered: "Eric, I, can I go to the sharp corner manor tonight?"

Eric made a special call before dinner. The girl took her twins and flew to the East Coast directly on the Gulfstream V that she had just received. She was already on Joanna's side. The girl also had a party with her friends tonight and left the sharp corner manor in the afternoon.

Looking at the hopeful gaze of the girl in front of him, Eric hesitated for a moment and nodded, "Okay, but Anne, I can declare in advance that you'd better not have any expectations for our relationship."

Anne Hathaway immediately showed an injured expression, but nodded obediently: "I understand."

Eric picked up the juice at hand and took a sip, saying, "Let's talk about you, do you have an agency now?"

"Yeah," Anne Hathaway nodded: "I signed a contract with an elite talent agency a few months ago."

Eric remembered something, a little uncertain: "It's the agency that made the script of Pirates of the Caribbean?"

"Yes," Anne Hathaway smiled, but when she remembered that the man in front of her acquired a large film company for a script, she couldn't help but feel a little awe, saying: "Actually, I almost signed with Matt Gilson, but he already has several artists, so she missed it. My current agent is Carl Franco, and it was introduced by my father."

After completing the acquisition of Sony's film business, Eric has seen the contract signed by Sony Pictures and the two screenwriters of "Pirates of the Caribbean", but he no longer paid special attention to Terry Rucio and Ted Elliott. He has paid $7.5 million, and Sony Pictures could not agree to other additional conditions at the time. The two screenwriters received such a huge sum of money and did not ask for more. Both parties were considered to have paid off.

Although Eric probably chose to sell the script directly even in the other party's position, he naturally could not hand over the adaptation rights of the script to those two people.

At this time, Eric didn't have any special thoughts when he heard the coincidence that Anne Hathaway happened to be in the elite talent agency where the two screenwriters were located, so he just skipped the topic.

Seeing that Eric seemed to be unfavorable, Anne Hathaway was worried that this topic would cause displeasure to the other party.

The script incident of "Pirates of the Caribbean" that happened some time ago was because Anne Hathaway had signed into the agency at that time. At that time, the popularity caused by this script was inexplicably pride. However, at this time, her mentality changed a little, and she felt that if she was Eric, she would definitely be very angry.

After hesitating for a moment, Anne Hathaway felt that she might have to make up for it, so she said, "Or how about, Eric, I'll change to another agency?"

Eric patiently cut a piece of cod steak, and the Nth time in his mind had the idea of ​​using chopsticks, but he just thought about it. If he really did this, it would be weird in the eyes of people around him. Even after so many years, Eric felt that he might not be able to use chopsticks skillfully.

Hearing Anne Hathaway's words, Eric looked up and asked, "Does there any famous actors in your agency?"

"Andy Garcia," Anne Hathaway replied: "He has acted in "The Godfather 3" and has also won a nomination for Best Supporting Actor."

Anne Hathaway subconsciously reported the name of the male star in her company as the biggest brand. Seeing Eric looked confused, she smiled awkwardly, and thought about it and added: "In addition, it is said that Michelle Pfeiffer has also been in our company for a while, but after becoming famous, he quickly switched to WMA. In addition to Andy Garcia, our company also has several TV stars, Morgan Faircheld, who also played Chandler's mother in "Friends" you did, and she played Chandler's mother. Tsk tsk, it is said that she is now forty-eight, but she looks like she is thirty years old. If I could maintain it then, it would be great."

Eric heard Anne Hathaway Balabara say, and finally smiled: "Then stay in this company. Maybe in a few years you will become a big sister. If you change to a big agency, you may be considered a little goldfish."

Anne Hathaway's big eyes flashed and he nodded quickly: "Well, Eric, I will do whatever you want me."

Eric nodded with satisfaction and said, "Very good, I like good girls."

The next morning, in the spacious master bedroom of the Pinocchio Manor.

Feeling the movements of the man beside him, the girl lying softly on the big bed opened her eyes sleepily, looked around in confusion, and quickly woke up.

Watching Eric get up and walk to the bathroom, Anne Hathaway cheers up from the bed.

However, looking around, I thought that all my clothes from inside to outside were taken away by Eric last night for the manor to wash. The sound insulation in the bathroom was very good. She listened for a while but didn't hear the sound. She hesitated, wrapped a sheet and got off the bed barefoot, and walked to the window curiously.

It is estimated that it is less than seven o'clock, and the sun has not yet risen in Los Angeles in October.

However, standing by the floor-to-ceiling window of the circular bedroom with excellent view, the magnificent view of the sky and sea connecting outside the window still makes it difficult for Anne Hathaway to calm down.

It would have been great if I could live here forever.

This thought arose, and Anne Hathaway suddenly felt that she might immediately lie back on the big bed and pretend to be unbearable, so that she would definitely stay here for a few more days.

Reluctantly, he walked around the bedroom around the circular floor-to-ceiling windows, and looked at everything around Malibu like a princess in the castle patrolling her city. I don’t know how long it took, just as Anne Hathaway was about to make up her mind, the bathroom door was opened.

Eric came out of the bathroom wearing a bathrobe, rubbed his wet hair, and saw the girl standing by the glass window in a blanket wrapped in a bed sheet, and smiled and said, "Are you awake?"

"Ah, um, good morning, Eric."

I feel a little regretful, alas, I can't pretend now.

Eric walked to the big bed and put on his clothes. When he saw the girl standing blankly by the bed, he took out a shirt from his closet and said, "Go and wash first, I'll prepare a new toothbrush for you. I'll wear my shirt first, and forget about the pants, you can't wear it."

Anne Hathaway nodded, smiled reservedly, and walked towards the bathroom.

After washing up, putting on Eric's shirt that looked very wide over her body, Anne Hathaway couldn't help but put the collar to the tip of her nose and smelled it. The clothes were slight lemon smell. She reluctantly lingered in this large bedroom for a while before she pushed open the door and looked around and went downstairs.

It's so big here.

What's even more rare is that it was very clean. I walked downstairs barefoot all the way downstairs without feeling anything stained with my feet, and I don't know how to clean it up.
Chapter completed!
