Another guy who had the same idea as Murdoch, Eric felt very happy. At this time, what he needed most was a lot of cash. Disney came to him. Even though he was very disliked Michael Eisner, Eric did not intend to refuse.

But on the surface, Eric asked teasingly: "Does Disney still have money?"

Michael Eisner's face suddenly became a little bad. During the summer season, Bowei, a subsidiary of Disney, has released four movies. In addition to an unknown small production that is used to distribute it on behalf of other production companies, the other several are large productions with investment of more than $30 million. In addition to the previously tragic "Firebird Attack" and "Rocket Expert", at the end of June, Disney also released a "Little Demon", which was produced in cooperation with Abelin Film Company, a subsidiary of Spielberg, and tells the story of a small town being invaded by a mutant spider. The film has been released in its third week, with a total box office of only more than 30 million.

With the cost of production of the three films and the investment in promotion, Disney's summer loss has exceeded 100 million US dollars. "The Love of the Man and the Ghost" was jointly released by Disney and Fireflies. Because of the lack of investment, Disney can only get 10% of the distribution share, and the subsequent videotape income is even more unthinkable. Therefore, "The Love of the Man and the Ghost" is sold well according to the rules of the previous life, and it is difficult to make up for Disney's losses. It can be imagined that Disney's financial report at the end of the year will be very ugly.

"Eric, you don't have to worry about this. If you need money, I can lend you $100 million," Michael Eisner said lightly.

"I'm very anxious, I'll have it within ten days," Eric added.

Michael Eisner suppressed the joy in his eyes and said, "No problem. But Eric, since you want to get the money within ten days, you must pay the money within three months, otherwise..."

"Firefly's shares?" Eric took the initiative to answer.

Michael Eisner nodded: "My request is the same as Mr. Murdoch. $100 million, and it's calculated at 10%.

"Yes," Eric said without hesitation. According to the plan he had made before, Eric had planned to stop within three months and reached an agreement. Eric's thoughts changed and soon showed a faint smirk: "Mr. Eisner, why don't you come and have fun too, this is a good opportunity."

Michael Eisner shook his head: "Sorry, Eric. I have never participated in this kind of bet without any confidence."

"Actually, I am the same," Eric turned his head and looked at the big screen and said in his heart.

The day after the premiere, Eric planned to return to New York, but what happened next forced him to stay in Los Angeles for a few more days.

Perhaps he heard from Fox or Disney that executives of the seven major film companies have successively found Eric to be a boy in Shancai. Even the ruined MGM sent $50 million, and Eric accepted them all. Of course, he also mortgaged more than 50% of Firefly's shares for this. In addition to the repayment date negotiated with Murdoch, the repayment date of the other companies was only three months long. Warner even proposed a two-month repayment period, but Warner also paid the most, reaching 150 million. Eric took it without hesitation.

A few days later, Eric returned to New York. The results of the two most popular heavyweight films in the summer season, "Die Hard 2" and "The Love of Man and Ghost" were officially released.

"Die Hard 2" won a box office of $24 million in the first three days because of the popularity accumulated in the first film. "The Love of Man and the Ghost" was not as unattracted as in the previous life but suddenly became upset. This version of "The Love of Man and the Ghost" reached the limit that film companies could do in this era.

Therefore, on the first three days of the first week, "The Love of Man and Ghost" took away countless tears from fans, and also reaped a box office of $27 million. After the results were released, the box office statistics agency predicted that the first week of the two films would all exceed the $40 million mark. Once again, "Comprehensive Memories", which had the highest box office in the first week of the 1990 summer season, was only 36 million, and the two films released at the same time exceeded $40 million in the box office. This amazing result also surprised many spectators who were looking forward to both of the two films losing money.

At this time, Eric had no intention of paying attention to the movie.

In the Sixty Soho Hotel Suite on Sixty Avenue, Chris, who found that there were more than $500 million in his account, was looking at Eric with a serious expression. He did not tell Jeffrey the news. Jeffrey was already worried enough these days. If the old man knew that Eric had mortgaged more than 50% of Firefly's shares, he would probably go crazy.

"Eric, I thought you were just a hothead, but now I think you are really crazy."

"Chris, don't worry, even if all the money is lost, I will not lose control of Firefly. I have asked Caroline to apply for a loan with my remaining 20% ​​of my shares. This loan will definitely be completed within three months, and I can't lose all of it. So, in the end, I will definitely be able to redeem enough shares and still maintain Firefly's absolute controlling position," Eric said clearly and clearly.

"You know, I'm not talking about this, Eric. I think you've completely lost your mind. Stop it. It's still time. Look, we've invested 120 million yuan in the past ten days, but there's not much profit in the account now. Imagine that if Saddam got enough benefits from Kuwait like he used to blackmail other small Middle East countries, and then stopped the market, the crude oil price would immediately fall sharply. As long as the drop is close to 10%, Eric, as long as 10%, all the funds in your account will be gone."

Eric rubbed his hair in distress: "Chris, why can't you have some confidence in me?"

"Because this is a very realistic world, no one knows what will happen in the future. Eric, I don't allow you to do anything wrong again. I won't move the 500 million US dollars. If you want to force a purchase, I will withdraw immediately now."

Eric calmed down, and the relaxed expression on his face disappeared. He remained silent for a long time before whispering to Chris: "Before this, can you help me find another acquaintance? You know, I don't have any connections on Wall Street?"

Chris was stunned, sighed, and stood up lonely and walked out of the hotel room.

Eric did not get up and saw him off. He hugged Drew, who had been sitting quietly beside him, put the girl's head on her knees, lowered her head to touch the little girl's smooth face: "Girl, if one day I disappoint you, will you be sad?"

The little girl licked Eric's palm like a cat, shook her head and said, "No."

"But I made Chris sad. In this world, there are not many people who really care about me. Jeffrey and Chris are two."

"At least I'm still there," Drew said solemnly by putting Eric's palm on his baby's face.

The next day, Eric got up early in the morning, brushed his teeth and washed his face and had breakfast mechanically. He walked to the office of the trading studio and saw Chris at a glance. Of course, he felt his eyes were a little wet.

"I'm not at ease, I'll do it," Chris explained in a low voice.
