Chapter 771: A Smart Girl

Both John and his wife are ordinary wage earners, busy with work all day long and rarely pay attention to entertainment news. However, they also know what the new Eric Williams film means.

Looking at his daughter who looked eager to try, John asked, "Mr. Richie, can we ask, what role is it?"

"There are not many shots of a tennis girl," Peter Ricci did not hide it, and introduced it briefly and looked at Miranda Keer, and asked, "Miss Keer, do you know how to play tennis?"

Miranda Kerr paused, finally shook his head and said, "No, but Mr. Ricci, I can learn, I learn things very quickly."

Peter Ritchie smiled and looked at Miranda Kerr's parents again.

John looked at each other with his wife, then asked, "Mr. Ritchie, you mean, just a small character with few shots, right?"

"Yes," Peter Rich nodded and said, "Although the role is small and there are no lines, showing faces in a world-class influence like 007 will be very beneficial to Miss Keer's future development. Of course, the premise is that Miss Keer intends to enter the modeling industry or entertainment industry in the future."

The task Eric gave him was to transfer this opportunity to Miranda Kerr and his family. It didn't matter whether he was born or not, and he did not ask Peter Rich to do anything extravagant. Therefore, Peter Rich did not hide the insignificance of this small character at all.

Of course, as a workplace elite with excellent IQ, he also observed that in this small family, the couple obviously had no opinion. Instead, the daughter named Miranda Keer looked smart. In order to be more appropriate in front of him, during the conversation with his parents, he obviously wanted to interrupt, but the girl endured it.

After hearing his words, John and his wife showed a hesitant look on their faces. The summer vacation in Australia is between December and February, and their daughter is about to start school, and both of them need to be busy with work. They neither want to delay their daughter's study nor are they willing to delay their work and take their daughter to Hollywood to film for a trivial role.

After hesitating for a moment, John looked at his daughter next to him and asked, "Miranda, what do you think?"

Seeing that his father finally remembered to ask himself, Miranda Kerr couldn't wait to look at Peter Rich and said, "Mr. Rich, can I meet Mr. Williams himself in this movie?"

"Of course," Peter Rich nodded.

Miranda Kerr unconsciously twisted his waist and sat up straight, asking shyly: "Mr. Williams saw me in DOLLY magazine. What do he think of me?"

Peter Rich raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "I don't know how to answer this question, you can only ask the boss himself."

"So, after participating in this movie, will I get other roles in the future?"

Peter Rich said: "As long as you perform well enough, you will definitely get a lot of opportunities."

Miranda Kerr blinked his pretty eyes and asked again, "If, well, if I want to move to New York, or Los Angeles, can Mr. Williams help me?"

"I can't answer you either," Peter Rich shook his head, "If you have this intention, I can help you convey it to your boss."

When Miranda Kerr saw several questions, the answers he got were ambiguous. Realizing that the guy in front of him had no say, he thought about it and said, "Since Mr. Williams saw me from DOLLY magazine, he should be in Australia recently. Can I meet him?"

"The boss has returned to the United States," Peter Ritchie said truthfully.

Miranda Keer finally said with some disappointment.

Although she had made up her mind to never give up this opportunity, the girl was still very clever and did not agree immediately, just saying that the family needed to discuss it.

Saying Peter Ricci away, Thales, the mother who had never spoken during the conversation, looked at her daughter who couldn't wait to grab the contact information left by Peter Ricci in her hand, and said, "Miranda, I think you are still too young now, it's better not to..."

Miranda Kerr raised his head, interrupted his mother, and said, "No, mom, I have decided that I want to play this role."

John seemed to be helpless about this precocious daughter who was full of opinions and said, "But this is different from going to magazines. You still have to go to school."

"Isn't the purpose of going to school to find a job in the future? Since I can have a very good job now, why should I go far away?" Miranda Keer immediately retorted with cleverness.

John was speechless when his daughter refuted, so he had to look at his wife again.

Thales's mind was more delicate and said, "Actors are not that easy to behave. You have never even attended acting classes. It's okay to play some small roles, but it's not easy to be a professional actor."

"Hey, mom," Miranda Kerr shook his hand with the card with the email and long-distance phone number in his hand, and said, "Do you know who Eric Williams is? He is the owner of the world's largest media group. As long as he can help me, I can get any role."

When John heard his daughter's words, he frowned, changed into a purely male perspective, and said, "Then why do you think Eric Williams wants to help you?"

Miranda Kerr held a pillow on the sofa in his arms, his eyes turned, and he started to laugh, saying, "What else can it be like the boys in our school who always peeked at me. Humph, I don't bother with those young boys."

Every father was not in a good mood when he heard a man’s idea of ​​his daughter. John immediately raised his eyebrows and said, “Then I can’t let you act in this movie. You are just a child now.”

"I'm not a child," Miranda Kerr straightened up: "And, I've decided. Even if you object, I'll go."

Seeing that his daughter talked back to her, John was even more upset, and his tone became a little irritable, and he raised his voice and said, "You can't go anywhere without the consent of the guardian."

Miranda Kerr shrank his neck and realized the problem. He immediately looked at his mother, but Thales just leaned against her husband.

"Then, I'll go to the countryside to find my grandma, and she can also be my guardian."

"Your grandma won't agree," John left the sentence, too lazy to say anything to this disobedient daughter, and got up and walked out.

Looking at the father's back as he left, the girl felt a sense of grievance and said loudly: "Then I'll go by myself, anyway, you can't tie me up at home."

But John just snorted lightly and slammed the door without looking back.

Thales, who was still in the living room, felt her daughter's tears, and her mind suddenly softened. She walked over and hugged her, comforted her, "Okay, baby, your father is also doing your own good."

Miranda Kerr, who hadn't planned to cry, realized that her mother should be the breakthrough point in this matter, and immediately cried out, leaned against Thales's arms, and said, "But, mom, I don't want to give up this opportunity."

Thales patted his daughter on the back with heartache and said, "Don't cry, baby, you are still young now, and you have more opportunities in the future."

"No, there must be no more, you, woo... You must have heard it just now. Peter Ritchie's tone was very indifferent. They didn't care whether I would accept this opportunity. They could find a lot of candidates, but for me, the opportunity may only be this time. If you miss it, how could there be a big man like Eric Williams who noticed me."

Thales said: "You, haven't you said everything just now, that, Eric Williams, you must be less simple in your mind."

"I'm just talking casually," the girl immediately changed her mouth and said, "Mom, think about it, Eric Williams' "Jurassic Park" won a global box office of $1 billion. How could such a super director be so unprofessional? He must have thought I was suitable for the role in the movie, so he sent the invitation."

"But……"

Thales wanted to say something, but was interrupted by his daughter's voice and said, "Mom, if you are worried, you can go with me. Since I am not yet an adult, they will definitely invite parents to accompany you."

Thales' tone became loose and said, "I think I'd better discuss this with your dad again. Moreover, if you really want to go, it's more appropriate to let your dad accompany you."

Miranda Keer stopped crying at some point and still leaned on her mother's arms and said coquettishly: "No, I want my mother to go with me, so I don't want to take my father."

Thales completely changed his position and said, "Okay, but your father is angry now. I will discuss with him to discuss with him tonight, so you don't talk back to your father."

"Well, I remember."

Miranda Keer nodded quickly, smiled at the corner of her mouth, and two cute dimples appeared on her face.

Finally, it's time to Australia.

God knows how boring this place is, even in the city, there are not as many people as snakes.

As long as she becomes famous, she will definitely leave here easily. Although she is very self-aware that she is more suitable for being a model, as long as she has the opportunity, whether she is an actor or a model, the result is actually the same.

Thinking of international metropolises like New York and Los Angeles, girls are even more excited.

After doing the show and playing a whole set, Miranda Kerr got up and got into her small room, and began to think about how to contact Eric Williams, so it would be best to get something for herself in advance.

The contact number left by Peter Rich is a trans-ocean number, which is very expensive, and it is impossible for her home phone to make trans-ocean phone calls.

However, the email address is different.

Although it has just become popular in recent years and there is no avant-garde thing like a computer at home, she has seen how to send emails at a classmate's home. It is very simple and fast, and can convey many things at once.

She quickly made a decision and planned to carefully prepare an email to Peter Ritchie and ask the other party to pass it to Eric Williams.

Well, how should I write it and what should I say to attract the big man's attention more.

This needs to be considered carefully.

...

Eric took a Gulfstream private business jet leaving Australia, passed Hawaii and flew directly to New York on the east coast of the United States.

In addition to Hollywood's tedious work, there are two other things that need Eric to pay close attention to in January, namely, Nokia stock is listed on the US stock market on January 22, and on January 29, American Online officially listed on the Nasdaq market.

In 1995, Nokia achieved sales of 7 million mobile phones and 600,000 mobile communication base stations, with annual turnover equivalent to US$3.6 billion. Compared with 1994, Nokia achieved a 130% performance growth rate.

Even when most of the profit revenue was immediately invested in the company's expansion, Nokia still achieved a net profit balance of $60 million in 1995.

Therefore, Nokia is simply listed on the US stock market this time to realize the circulation of the company's shares in the US market and make plans for further financing in the future. There are no plans for issuance of new shares at the moment.

Although Nokia's mobile phone sales in the past few years were still at the millions, Eric clearly remembers that in the next few years, with the rapid development of mobile communications and the popularization of communication fees, Nokia's mobile phone business will show explosive growth. In the original time and space, in 1998, Nokia not only successfully surpassed Motorola, but also took the lead in achieving the feat of producing a total of 100 million mobile phones.

Therefore, if Nokia needs to carry out the next financing plan, the best time will also be after 1998.

Before this, Firefly Investment could still firmly control Nokia's absolute controlling stake. Even if it comes to the next financing opportunity, with Nokia's outstanding performance, it will have enough confidence to issue new shares with low voting rights to prevent the loss of control of the company.

Although Nokia's listing was very low-key, and even Eric just called a few times in Australia to congratulate him and did not attend in person, the market was still very enthusiastic about Nokia's stock listing in the United States.

Relying on the general high performance expectations of Nokia in 1996 by major investment institutions, Nokia's stock price soared by 8.1% on the day of its listing, and its market value easily reached US$6.8 billion. This also made Eric's $420 million investment three years ago appreciate more than eight times.

On the other hand, American Online is also a very important pawn in Eric's industrial layout.
