Just as they were talking, the twins walked in one after another, one holding a stack of newspapers on the dining table outside, while the other handed the cordless phone to Eric: "Master, Mr. Hansen's phone number .=music=text=novel”

Eric ignored Aniston's weird expression after hearing the twins' names, pointed to the fried egg in the pan and gave Natasha its place, put the microphone to his ear and walked out of the kitchen.

Chris called Eric early in the morning. It turned out that just yesterday, on November 20, after raging in Southeast Asian countries, the international hot money finally pointed the finger at the richest piece of fat in Southeast Asia except Japan. meat korean.

Several major foreign exchange markets only sold the Korean won on the first day, causing the Korean won to depreciate by 3.1%.

South Korea's local time is 17 hours earlier than the West Coast of the United States. Although it is now more than 8 am on the 21st in Los Angeles, it is already 1 am on the 22nd in South Korea. When Chris called Eric, the second day that South Korea was attacked by international hot money had passed. Although the Bank of Korea began to organize a counterattack, the exchange rate of the Korean won fell uncontrollably by 6.5% in two days.

After the delivery of the foreign exchange short contracts for the Thai baht and the Indonesian rupiah, Eric did not let Chris pay attention to some other currency targets in Southeast Asia, and put all the 300 million US dollars of funds in Southeast Asia on the Korean won.

Although the outbreak of the economic crisis in Southeast Asia has raised vigilance in Asian countries, the accumulated short position of the Korean won still exceeds 1.1 billion US dollars after a few months of layout and a principal of 300 million US dollars. It can be said that this is also the last piece of fat that Firefly can get in this Southeast Asian economic crisis.

After chatting with Chris for a while, Eric returned to the restaurant, sat down at the table, and flipped through today's newspapers to check news related to won.

In two days, the exchange rate of the Korean won to the U.S. dollar fell from the initial 957:1 to 1019:1.

Eric remembers that the lowest point of the Korean won/dollar exchange rate was lower than 1700:1, and the depreciation rate exceeded 70%. It seems that this is just the beginning.

If we can accurately grasp the lowest point of the depreciation of the Korean won and complete the delivery of the Korean won short contract in our hands, the short contract worth 1.1 billion US dollars, excluding the principal, the Korean won lending interest and other various expenses, the profit that Firefly can obtain may still be as high as $400 million. Of course, this can only be regarded as the best prediction. In the face of the ever-changing foreign exchange market, it is difficult to maximize profits in actual operation. Eric is very satisfied to be able to double the 300 million US dollars in the end.

Feeling that breakfast was placed in front of him, Eric closed a newspaper in his hand,

Going to have breakfast first, when I looked up, I saw Aniston sitting on the other side, looking curiously at Natasha who had just walked away from him.

Eric smiled and asked, "What's wrong?"

Aniston quickly retracted his eyes, shook his head and said, "No, it's nothing."

Drew, who was sitting opposite Aniston, looked at the twins who were sitting on the other side of the dining table together, and said with a smile, "They are also Eric's women."

Aniston felt the provocation in the girl's tone, and immediately raised her eyebrows and countered, "It's much prettier than you."

Eric glanced at the two women with warning: "Hey, what did I just say."

"I didn't want to quarrel, I also wanted to introduce Natasha and... Natasha to Jenny," the girl immediately defended.

The chick also immediately said: "I plan to stop saying a word to you today, this is the last sentence."

At this time, Eric also remembered that Aniston didn't know the twins. He looked at the two identical girls on the opposite side, and was about to introduce them to the chick, when he noticed that the twins had a silver necklace on their necks and two necklace pendants. One is the letter 'n' and one is the subtitle 'e'.

After taking a few glances, Eric asked: "The necklace is very beautiful. The two pendants should be the initials of your names, right?"

Natasha, wearing the subtitle 'n' necklace, nodded and said, "Yes, Master, this is a birthday present from Ms. Pakula, who said it would make it easier to tell our sisters apart."

"Oh, I didn't notice it, sorry, remind me next birthday and give you a present too. But it looks really much better now, you're a sister, Natasha, then she It's my sister, Eve... eh, Eve Goenia?"

"Master, just call me Eve," the girl with the subtitle 'e' said, her accent and tone were obviously different from her sister's. Eric realized that maybe it was her sister who spoke most of the time before. He couldn't tell the two girls apart by his accent.

Nodding with a smile, Eric pointed to Aniston and said, "This is Jane, you must know, Jane, this is Natasha and Eve."

Aniston has been secretly paying attention to things around Eric for the past few years, and naturally he knows the twins who often follow Drew. However, although he did not deal with the girl, Aniston greeted the twins politely, but the curiosity in his eyes remained the same.

Today is November 21st. After breakfast, Eric and the two girls discussed the matter of celebrating Thanksgiving together in the next few days before rushing to work in Playa Vista.

With its wonderful imagination and warm themes, "Monsters, Inc." received almost unanimous praise from film critics after its release.

Although there is no lack of media sourness that "Monsters, Inc." has completely lost the style of Disney animation, it is just another Pixar work, but this does not hinder "Monsters, Inc." in the first three days of the first weekend. $62.57 million at the box office fact.

The release of the box office data not only shattered the fantasy of many people, but also made the entire Firefly rejoice. Because of the success of "Monster Power, Inc.", it indicates that Firefly Group will have two studios that can produce excellent 3D animated films, or, if you count nearly half of the equity of Blue Sky Studio, this number should be two and a half.

In the next few years, Firefly will produce 3D animated movies at an average rate of one per year, which is absolutely the dream of any Hollywood studio.

Perhaps stimulated by the success of "Monsters, Inc.", in the following days, Shirley Lansing, CEO of Paramount Pictures, also said in an interview that Paramount Animation will also begin to test the waters of 3D animation production.

The Hollywood animation film market is far from saturated, and Eric is not worried about the threat from Paramount, not to mention whether Paramount Animation, under the obstruction of a group of hand-painted animators who are trying to maintain its status in the industry, can really The completed 3d transformation. Even if they succeed, Viacom is destined to be unable to compare with Firefly Group in the development of peripheral products and theme parks.

In the following days, with Drew and Aniston over Thanksgiving, Eric rushed to New York on the day of the fourth Victoria's Secret show on the 27th.

He didn't come here specially for the Victoria's Secret show, but after several date adjustments, the Amazon IPO time was finally determined on December 1st.

Since the second quarter of this year, due to a lot of attention to the fireflyer player's hunger marketing strategy, Amazon's sales performance has been climbing, and the quarterly turnover has risen from $87 million in the first quarter of this year to 3.1 in the third quarter. At $100 million, Wall Street expects Amazon to generate more than $400 million in operating income in its final quarter and close to $900 million in operating income for the full year.

Although Amazon's financial statements this year are destined to be in the red due to its continued high investment strategy. Still, that doesn't stop Wall Street from being bullish on the fast-rising e-commerce site.

After months of negotiations, Jeff Bezos and Morgan Stanley, which is in charge of Amazon's IPO, finally decided to value Amazon at $4.5 billion, issue 10 percent of new shares, and plan to raise $450 million.

In fact, Firefly Investment can easily raise $450 million in funds. However, everyone also understands that Amazon’s listing is for the purpose of listing, except that Jeff Bezos does not want to continue selling shares to Firefly in order to avoid losing control. After that, capital operations such as mergers and acquisitions can be carried out more conveniently.

As the most turbulent period of the Southeast Asian financial crisis gradually passed, a large amount of hot money began to flow back from Southeast Asian countries, and the US stock market, which had experienced fluctuations for several months, began to rise again without any decline. Therefore, almost all media are very optimistic about Amazon's listing operation, and some people have even set their sights on Yahoo, the most important Internet company in the Firefly system.
