Chapter 906 Eclectic Words

Both Eric and Katzenberg hope that the expansion of the Firefly Studios theme park project will proceed quietly.

However, many things are doomed to fail. On the second day after the opening of the "Titanic" theme exhibition hall, there was a lot of news in the media that the Firefly Group was about to build a theme park on the basis of Playa Vista Studios. Even a very professional analysis of the most likely eastward expansion plan of Firefly Studios.

Afterwards, the staff who had been in contact with the residents of the east side of Firefly Studios secretly for a period of time reported that all the residents who had almost agreed to sell the real estate had repented. Although most of them are willing to continue to negotiate, without exception, they have raised the offer to an unacceptable price, and some residents have even offered a sky-high price of $1 million for a property worth less than $100,000.

In this case, you don't need to think about it to know that someone must be doing something wrong. As for who it is, it's easier to guess.

However, the plan to acquire 160 hectares of land west of Lincoln Avenue went very smoothly. The Firefly Group just proposed, and the Playa Vista District agreed, and the price was only 50% higher than the original Firefly purchased the studio land.

It's not hard to imagine that Praia Vista would be tempted by Firefly Group to build a theme park in its own urban area. After all, the prosperity of a large theme park can not only pay hundreds of millions of local taxes every year, but also create a lot of job opportunities. In the United States, taxation and employment are basically the indicators for judging the performance of the ruling system at all levels. From the federal president to the mayor of a small town, these two indicators cannot escape the support of voters.

Due to the disruption, the plan to expand to the east will not work in the short term. Management had to ask the theme park design team to plan the site west of Lincoln Avenue as much as possible, trying to come up with a more feasible plan.

Eric secretly gave Katzenberg his and Caroline's hair on Saturday night. The other party originally promised to give the result to Eric on Monday, but Katzenberg apologized apologetically the next day. When I called him, he said that the cousin relationship test that Eric requested was difficult, and it might take three days to get an accurate result.

It wasn't until the second Wednesday, early in the morning, in Eric's office in Firefly Studios, that Katzenberg brought a stack of thick identification reports.

"In order to keep it secret, I specially asked someone to take it to San Francisco for the appraisal," Katzenberg took out the appraisal report from the file bag and put it in front of Eric, and continued: "The report was just sent this morning. The doctor in charge of identification told me that they compared all 46 chromosomes of the two samples one by one, and selected nine preliminary matched chromosomes for further site-specific testing. Among the 50 DNA loci of the nine chromosomes, Only one locus was different, and the match was 98 percent, and then they took another 50 DNA loci for testing, and this time they all matched."

Katzenberg said here, and seeing that Eric had already read the report attentively, he stopped talking, greeted softly, and left his office quietly.

The entire appraisal report has more than 20 pages, the content is far more detailed than Katzenberg said, and there are many more professional comparison pictures attached.

Eric finished the report quietly, looked at the positive conclusion on the last page, was silent for a while, then got up and walked to the shredder, and stuffed the report in his hand together with the kraft paper bag into the shredder.

In all fairness, Eric has no interest in this body's life experience. If it wasn't for Caroline, even if he noticed something, he would not take the initiative to confirm it. After sorting out some details in his mind, Eric realized that, perhaps, the woman had no plans to recognize each other, so it was actually the best.

Facing a pile of confetti in a daze, the office door was knocked twice, Eric responded and turned around.

Caroline walked in with a stack of documents and noticed Eric standing beside the shredder,

With a strange expression on his face when he looked at himself, he wondered, "Eric, what's wrong?"

"No," Eric shook his head and habitually made a joke: "I'm not used to it, I almost thought elementary school students invaded my office."

Caroline wrinkled her nose in dissatisfaction, but the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, ignoring Eric's ridicule, putting a few folders on Eric's desk, and saying, "These are all things that you need to read today. Signed, in addition, Ms. Pascal called, MGM's negotiation with Rainbow Media has come to a conclusion, and she wants to make an appointment to talk to you."

"Call her now," Eric sat down behind the desk and said, "Also, I forgot to say yesterday that I will reserve a seat at the restaurant on the ship at noon. I want to invite someone to dinner."

"Okay," Caroline nodded to write down, and after confirming that Eric had no other orders, she turned and left the office.

Listening to the sound of the door closing, Eric took out a pen from the pen holder and held it in his hand, then opened the first document, which is the next stage of the Shamrock Fund's buying plan.

At the end of July, Thailand's monetary and financial market has become a piece of chicken feathers. After international currency speculators have slammed into Thailand, they have turned their attention to the second fat Indonesian rupiah in Southeast Asia.

Affected by the large-scale outbreak of the financial turmoil in Southeast Asia, the Nasdaq index in North America has been fluctuating frequently in the past month, and the originally rapid upward trend has temporarily stopped.

Although there are more comments against the Nasdaq market, Eric understands that this is the last opportunity for the Shamrock Fund to buy it shares at a lower price. Therefore, in the next three months, Eric asked people to draw up a stock investment plan of up to 1.5 billion US dollars, which also led to the originally planned stock investment of 2 billion US dollars this year, which will eventually be raised to 3 billion US dollars or more. However, in recent years, the overall performance of the Firefly Group has risen, coupled with the fact that hot-selling films such as "Titanic" and "Finding Nemo" have brought unexpectedly large profits to Firefly, although this plan has been met by other shareholders and senior management of the group. Some of the criticisms, but there is no too firm opposition.

Eric read the purchase plan carefully and looked at a list of popular high-tech companies. Eric suddenly remembered Larry Ellison, who had not heard from him for a long time, and did not know the other party's plan to raise funds for the acquisition of Apple. How's it going.

Thinking in his heart, Eric picked up the phone and dialed it and chatted a few words. Although Larry Ellison had a warm tone, Eric noticed that Larry Ellison was talking about the acquisition of Apple. Sen was a little evasive when he spoke.

After hanging up the phone, Eric thought for a while, shook his head and smiled, then picked up the phone on the desk and dialed Caroline, but Melanie answered the phone, he didn't mind, and ordered: "Melanie , let someone check, how is Larry Ellison's plan to raise funds to buy Apple going."
