MTL - I’m in Hollywood-Chapter 1133 Concussion

A long and short hour finally passed.

At 9:30 pm EST, the Nasdaq Stock Exchange officially opened. The Firefly system did not release a reduction announcement until the last minute before the stock market opened. People who were frightened for an hour finally breathed a sigh of relief.

However, because the news that the firefly system may reduce its holdings on a large scale was quickly spread within an hour, some unidentified investors and ulterior motives of short-selling capital began to sell large amounts of stock after the Nasdaq market opened.

As a result, the stock market just opened, the Nasdaq index fell from 3476 points to 3435 points. In just ten minutes, the Nasdaq fell by 1.17%, and more than $40 billion in wealth was lost.

Faced with this situation, a large number of technology companies and Wall Street Capital had to start to enter the stable stock price.

Compared to the firefly system, a behemoth that can destroy the entire Nasdaq market, short-selling hedge funds and a small number of underweight investors are clearly unable to compete with the entire new technology industry.

After a brief downturn, the Nasdaq index soon began to rise. In the end, after a morning of shocks, the Nasdaq not only did not fall, but broke the record again, breaking through the 3,500 mark.

Near noon, Eric’s Boeing 747 finally landed at the Long Island Private Airport.

After getting off the plane, Eric took the assistant and the bodyguard directly to the VH-60 helicopter flying to Manhattan. The crew of Iron Man will take off again and return to Los Angeles.

After more than 40 minutes, the helicopter landed on the rooftop of the building at the entrance to Sixth Avenue.

Eric and Robert Eiger, who had come to meet in person, simply greeted him and then rushed to the car at the headquarters of Oprah Show Studio.

Three black luxury cars drove together to Midtown, and Robert Eiger, who was sitting next to Eric, said: "Eric, I just got a call from Sequoia Capital Don Valentine, and he hopes to be right." The Hollywood gossip thing is sorry for you."

"Sequoia Capital, Hollywood gossip," Eric looked down at a document and said: "Is Sequoia Capital already fallen to such an extent?"

“No,” Robert Eiger explained. “Hollywood Gossip is a website invested by Sequoia Capital’s partner named Ronald Hill. It’s not directly related to Sequoia Capital. Don Valentin is just a generation. intercede."

"Well, I know."

Robert Eiger doesn't know if Eric is agreeing or rejecting it.

However, he also knows that BOSS is very angry today, naturally he will not say anything more for an outsider.

After a few moments, Eric once again spoke again, with a mockery in his tone, saying: "It’s always like this. Some people feel that they are big people and will not be implicated. Some people think that they are small people and will not be implicated. This time I will let them know that there are exceptions to everything."

Robert Eiger nodded in the same place, but felt a cool sigh directly from the soles of his feet, could not help but shuddered.

The Oprah Show studio headquarters is already busy.

Over the years, the black girl who came out of a slum has become the queen of the American TV show. The status of Oprah in the media has also risen.

If at other times, someone wants to break the queue to disrupt the original production rhythm, even if it is a Hollywood star, Oprah also has the temper to reject each other.

However, the task that was directly pressed down by ABC headquarters today left Oprah with no room for rejection. Moreover, the more people who come out from the bottom can understand the power, Oprah is very clear, she must ensure that this program only has only 24 hours of production time without any flaws.

After all the staff of the production studio announced that they were going to work overtime today, Oprah began researching the information on the exposure and then felt more and more headaches.

Although Oprah Show often touches on some very sensitive social topics to gain attention and ratings. But today, this incident obviously does not allow her to come up with hype, not only can not speculation, she also realized that the next program must be less noticeable in dealing with a gossip news that is full of explosions.

I was repeatedly reading some copies of the online news provided by ABC. When I heard the assistant reminder, Oprah quickly got up and left the office.

Just out of the studio, Oprah saw Erik and his group coming out of the elevator and hurriedly greeted them: "Mr. Williams, I am very happy to meet you."

"Hello, Ms. Winfrey," Eric and Oprah shook hands.

Oprah greeted Robert Eger again and everyone went to a conference room in the workroom.

Sitting at the conference table, Oprah took the folder from the assistant and sent out the irrelevant people. Then he went straight to the theme: "So, Mr. Williams, can you talk about it first, we The program is probably, um, what scale can I touch?"

"Today's thing, two women, three children," Eric said, and said: "In addition, you can call me Eric."

Oprah nodded and relaxed. Her biggest concern was that Eric avoided this scandal and forcibly clarified the cover, which was often only counterproductive.

However, although my heart has been conclusive, Oprah cautiously confirmed: "Eric, you mean, you intend to publicly recognize the identity of the three children?"

"Yes, there is also my opinion on this incident. I hope that these can be talked openly and honestly on the show."

Oprah was a little surprised by Eric's calm attitude.

However, in her view, this is clearly the best coping strategy.

“It’s good, Eric, the public is always easier, um, understanding honest and straightforward people.”

Eric naturally understands the pause in Oprah's tone, and the other party obviously wants to use the word 'forgiveness'.

However, Eric never thought that it would be boring to get the other person’s forgiveness because his code of conduct was contrary to the general public’s perception. The reason why he arranged this program was to tell some people their attitude towards some things. Eric didn't want anyone to take this kind of thing in the future, hurting the women and children around him.

Of course, Eric is not disgusted with this program to convey to the public a false feeling that he hopes to be forgiven.

After all, the people's heart is always the most easy to manipulate and very powerful tool.

Eric’s unexpected attitude allowed Oprah to quickly determine the tone of the show and continued to discuss the details for more than an hour. The crowd moved to the studio and began the official recording.

......

San Francisco on the West Coast.

In the office of Sequoia Capital Headquarters, Don Valentin once again hangs up the conversation with Robert Eiger, and to the opposite middle-aged man: "Williams only responded that he knew."

As one of the most venture capital firms in Silicon Valley, Sequoia Capital is actually composed of more than 30 investment funds. The middle-aged man named Don Valentin named Ronald Hill is one of the larger fund managers.

When I heard Don Valentine, Ronald Hill realized that Eric apparently did not accept an apology.

Twisted his own tie, Ronald Hill said with anxious words: "What else is he going to do, just in the morning, in order to maintain the Nasdaq index, the entire new technology half has broken into at least $3 billion. Does he think this is not enough?"

Don Valentin put the handset back on the landline and said: "Ronald, complaining is useless, or consider the aftermath. I don't understand why you want to invest in this easy-to-follow website. ""

"Adam Wembley, the founder of this website, is my high school classmate," Ronald Hill squeezed a bitter smile and said: "He showed me the plan, I feel good, and only need I can get 70% of the shares for $2 million, so I agree."

"Do you know this beforehand?"

"Of course I don't know. If I know, I will never allow that idiot to come. This is Eric Williams, I would rather the idiot to provoke the president."

"So," Don Valentine pointed his finger on the desk and said: "You and the Adam Wembley relationship are not close?"

"I would rather never know this person before."

"That's easy," Don Valentin nodded, his tone solemnly said: "Ronald, if you don't want to be implicated, go and find out the ins and outs of this matter. That Adam Wembley obviously does not It may be possible to do this for no reason. In addition, before this matter subsides, I hope that you can temporarily leave the position of the LH fund manager."

Although Don Valentine's tone is mild, Ronald Hill understands instantly that the other side is kicking himself out of Sequoia Capital, which is a hundred times worse than his imaginary result. He struggled for eight years to step into today's position, in charge of a fund of more than $1 billion under Sequoia Capital. After leaving Sequoia Capital, Ronald Hill didn't know if he had the courage to start from scratch.

Standing up suddenly, Ronald Hill silently silenced the look of the solid wood desk, and with some pleading in his tone, said: "Tang, it is not like this."

"Sorry, Ronald," Don Valentin also stood up, turned his desk and patted Ronald Hill's shoulder, and leaned against the table and said something awkward: "The timing is very sensitive. We can't take the risk of being targeted by the firefly system. You should know that this is a huge monster that controls the capital size of nearly $100 billion. $100 billion, equivalent to one-ninth of the North American economy, no one dares Confronted with such a capital behemoth. If Eric Williams really announced the reduction announcement this morning, everyone is now finished. But you just heard it, he did not intend to give up on this."

"But it really has nothing to do with me."

"Children do the wrong thing, the responsibility is often taken by adults," Don Valentin reached out and took Ronald Hill's shoulder again. "If I were you, now I have to do it first." The thing is to completely shut down the website, and then find out the ins and outs of the matter, and take the initiative to give Eric Williams an account."

"Don, I can do this, but can the company not tear off my position for the time being?"

Don Valentin shook his head again and said: "I will let Deborah release your announcement of the resignation. Ronald, cheer up, you have already more than 30 million US dollars, and left Sequoia, you I can still do some of my own things. Of course, I think that the most important thing for you now is to handle this matter. For the time being, I will wait for another meeting, so calm down."

After that, Don Valentine did not hesitate to leave the office, leaving Ronald Hill standing still.

......

After the opening of the market, the shock of the morning, the Nasdaq index is slowly rising throughout the afternoon.

At the close, the Nasdaq index has reached a high of 3,526.

Moreover, many investors have discovered a slightly different phenomenon in the first place.

The entire Nasdaq market, compared to other companies that barely maintained their share price and did not suffer a setback in the morning turmoil, the Yahoo, Cisco, Amazon, Qualcomm and other companies in the Firefly system all showed significant gains.

Among them, Yahoo!’s single-day stocks rose by a staggering 6.1%, and the market value soared from $1326 billion to $140.7 billion. The market value of a single day rose to $8.1 billion. Cisco's market capitalization has also reached new highs. It has reached $295.6 billion at the close, only one step away from the $300 billion mark.

After statistics, this wave of single-day gains has increased the size of assets controlled by the entire firefly system by $57 billion, while giving Eric himself more than $11 billion in asset appreciation.

So, in the evening, TV evening newspapers and Internet media in North America once again expressed their feelings about the new technology wave.

On the other hand, although the news about the exposure of Erik Williams’s illegitimate children this morning has been widely spread among the public, it is not just an Internet platform that has been basically cleared, but most traditional media have Showing a very cold attitude.

Of course, it is not a voice without doubt.

Time Warner’s CNN TV station has made a special evening talk show on the trend of reversing the trend, discussing in detail whether Eric’s suppression of Internet media has affected topics such as freedom of the press.

This is actually a very sensitive topic. For Westerners who advocate freedom, once this topic is expanded, Eric’s suppression of press freedom is obviously more likely to cause public rebound than his illegitimate child.

However, although CNN is ill-conceived, this topic has not caused large-scale media to follow suit.

In fact, most of the news events are often becoming more and more serious when the media is only speculating.

Similarly, without the help of the media, there is not enough guidance from the public, and the public often feels that this is not a big deal. As a result, CNN was hard to support, and a potential blockbuster was thrown out, which turned out to be a dud.
